I interview Chris Hedges about his latest thinking, covering AIPAC, OWS, Arab Spring, the 2012 Elections, Obama, activism and what YOU should do the next few months.
Chris Hedges, a senior fellow at the Nation Institute and Truthdig columnist, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist. His books include such bestsellers asEmpire of Illusion, Death of the Liberal Class and the National Book Award-nominated War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning. He lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

Here are some very brief, incomplete notes--- a few quotes and some of the questions I asked.
We celebrate the very figures who are plunging us over the cliff.
Chris has a new book coming out.
Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt
book
Rob: Are there any forms of capitalism that are tolerable?
Rob: What's your take on AIPAC?
Rob: How are Cheney's interests aligned with AIPAC?
The Arab spring has not gone exactly as we expected. What's your take on it, including Libya and Syria?
Rob: Occupy Wall Street ?
Rob: What would you say to people who voted for Obama in the last election?
Chris: any voting at this point has to be obstructionist-- you vote for green party, you vote for Rocky Anderson, or none of the above.
What are you going to do in the next few months?
Rob: What gives you hope?
Chris "Hope comes from the capacity to stand up and resist."
Chris: The most important thing to maintain hope is never to fight for the abstract.
Rob: How do people maintain contact with the oppressed?
Rob: What would you like to tell listeners to do in the next couple months to make a difference?
Rob: Any advice on how people can get started?
