    Chris Hedges - Jan 13th 2026 8:01pm EST

    La historia, tal como se entiende en la mayoría de los países occidentales, a menudo omite capítulos importantes que dejan espacios cruciales en la historia del surgimiento de los países modernos.

  • The Machinery of Terror

    Chris Hedges - Jan 11th 2026 2:18pm EST

    The Missing Link – by Mr. Fish Subscribe now I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before.

To this day, many […]

  • Grand Illusion

    Chris Hedges - Jan 8th 2026 8:34am EST

    “We live in a world in which you can talk all you want about international niceties and everything else, but we live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world that have […]

  • America the Rogue State

    Chris Hedges - Jan 5th 2026 8:39am EST

    Murder Most Foul — by Mr. Fish Subscribe now The ruling class of the United States, severed from a fact-based universe and blinded by idiocy, greed and hubris, has immolated the internal mechanisms that prevent dictatorship, and the external mechanisms designed to protect against a lawless world of colonialism and gunboat diplomacy. Our democratic institutions […]

  • America is a Gangster State

    Chris Hedges - Jan 3rd 2026 12:01pm EST

    The kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife solidifies America’s role as a gangster state. Violence does no generate peace. It generates violence. The immolation of international and humanitarian law, as the U.S. and Israel have done in Gaza, and as took place in Caracas, generates a world without laws, a world of […]
