First some words about our Syria war-fever and a reading of Chidanand Rajghatta's essay, "Why America Cannot Live Without Wars." Then on to the second half of Temujin Doran's film, "Obey."
"Obey" is about the military, political, and economic crimes of the Corporate State. It features readings from from Chris Hedges' 2010 book, "Death of the Liberal Class." In this installment, Hedges paints a bleak view of the near future and urges people to rebel nonviolently.
This installment was previously broadcast, as NWN #288, in September 2013.
