Chris Hedges: "This one could take them all down." Hedges on OWS w/ Occu...



Absolutely wonderful analysis from somebody who has seen this in other countries. Chris Hedges.

Chris Hedges: "What happens is in all of these movements ... the foot soldiers of the elite -- the blue uniformed police, the mechanisms of control -- finally don't want to impede the movement and at that point the power elite is left defenseless ... the only thing I can say having been in the middle of similar movements is that this one is real, and this one could take them all down ... I can guarantee you that huge segments of those blue uniformed police sympathize with everything that you're doing." -- Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges brings his 20 years of experience as a war correspondent, having covered movements and revolutions throughout the the world, to the discussion.

One thing that the power structure in this country has failed to do is by attacking the cops and their future through its pension system they have failed to even ensure the loyalty of "the foot soldiers of the elite" in order to capture short term gain from them.
