Journalist/prophet CHRIS HEDGES discusses the corporate attack on the American people and on the "liberal" institutions that once helped empower the people.
In Part 2, Hedges discusses totalitarianism, American-style; the Christian Right; why the Tea Party (rightly) hates the Liberal Establishment; the perfidy of the Democratic Party; U.S. parallels with the former Yugoslavia; the necessity of resistance; and the importance that the resistance be nonviolent.
