Chris Hedges Report: Israel, Charlie Kirk, And Weaponization Of Murder

September 16, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Charlie Kirk’s assassination will likely serve as the crux of a new era of political violence and repression in the United States. In the days since Kirk was shot at a speaking event at Utah Valley University, right-wing groups and figures have demanded mass censorship of all critical online speech directed at Kirk. President Donald Trump has effectively attributed the attack to the “radical left” and vowed to go after those he deems responsible. Mass doxing campaigns targeting people who contextualized Kirk’s politics or celebrated his killing has led to firings across the country. Amid the online chaos, narratives surrounding Kirk’s assassin, stemming from incomplete reporting from mainstream outlets and a lack of clear analysis by the FBI, have further fueled confusion and outrage across the political spectrum.

Chuck Modi On Repression And Resistance In Washington, DC

September 15, 2025 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. , , , , ,
It’s been nearly a month since President Trump began his offensive against Washington, DC. This comes as Trump continues to threaten even more cities across the United States with deployment of the National Guard, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other repressive forces to carry out mass deportations and terrorize activists and communities who oppose the Far Right. The offensive in DC has been easier for the administration to carry out due largely to the fact that the city does not have statehood. Despite this, the residents have resisted the federal offensive. Students have staged walkouts, activists including veterans have confronted ICE in the streets, and groups like Free DC have organized regular protests.

Chris Hedges Report: The Death Of Holocaust Studies

September 10, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Raz Segal, an Israeli historian and an associate professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University, analyzes how the weaponization and distortion of the Holocaust, in the midst of the genocide in Gaza, has been used to serve the narrative of Zionists and the Israeli government. He tells host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report: “We know that Holocaust education eventually was more focused on transmitting this feeling of exceptionality than actually teaching about Holocaust as history, as real history, as normal history, as a part, indeed, of the making of the modern and late modern world.” Segal recounts his personal experience learning about the Holocaust in Israel, revealing a Zionist perspective that is both skewed and contradictory.

Silicon Valley Insider Exposes Cult-Like AI Companies

September 3, 2025 Aaron Bastani, Scheer Post. , , ,
As artificial intelligence begins to fundamentally alter the way normal people live their lives, it’s often talked about in terms of boom and doom, which makes a nuanced examination difficult. The problem with AI is that the understanding required to scrutinise the technology is rare and even if one does have that understanding, the ability to clearly communicate it is even rarer. This week’s guest has been both a worker in, and reporter on the tech industry and is uniquely poised to present a nuanced and informed analysis of this rapidly expanding industry. In her new book, Empire of AI, Karen Hao debunks myths that surround AI and exposes us to the full breadth of this global industry.

The Chris Hedges Report: Reporting On War

August 29, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
It is rare to find war correspondents who are willing to break the rules of access and safety imposed by dominant powers. Only by challenging these structures and facing the dangers of war can journalists begin a true effort to report the truth and, if they are lucky, materially alter the course of conflict. Journalist, author and documentary filmmaker Ben Anderson joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to detail what it means to be a reporter who is committed to chasing and documenting the truth in a media landscape that often chooses complacency. Anderson chronicles his motivations and influences, such as the late John Pilger, early on in his career.

How Does China’s System Really Work?

August 26, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
Today, I have the pleasure of being joined by the renowned Chinese scholar Zhang Weiwei. He is a professor at the prestigious Fudan University in Shanghai. He has millions of followers on Chinese social media. And we just participated in an academic conference. Professor Zhang, it is nice to meet you. I want to begin asking you about your idea of the “China model”. This is something you have been speaking about for many years, for almost 20 years now. If you look at China’s economic development in recent decades, it’s amazing. The statistics don’t lie. 

Chris Hedges Report: Israel’s War On The United Nations

August 22, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
For millions of Palestinians, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is more than just a humanitarian organization — it is a lifeline. For 75 years, it has provided crucial infrastructure support and sustained a population facing heavy repression at the behest of Israel. For the past 22 months, the organization has proved as important as ever in the midst of genocide. UNRWA and its facilities have provided schools, hospitals, cafeterias and more for Palestinians when no other help existed. Precisely because it is sometimes the sole entity continuing to keep Palestinians alive, Israel targets them and has killed 310 staff members in Gaza. On this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, host Chris Hedges is joined by Mara Kronenfeld, Executive Director of UNRWA USA.

Trump’s Tariffs Backfire: India Moves Closer To China

August 17, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump is a very contradictory leader. He constantly implements policies that go against his stated goals. The perfect example of this is how Trump has treated BRICS, the Global South-led organization that now represents the majority of the planet. Trump sees BRICS as a major threat to US hegemony, and, in particular, the dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency. The US president has openly threatened members of BRICS to try to stop them from seeking alternatives to the dollar. In a press conference at the White House on July 8, Trump complained (emphasis added): BRICS was set up to hurt us. BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar, and take our dollar as the standard, take it off as the standard.

US Censorship, Pan-Africanism And The Rise Of Africa’s Resistance

August 15, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , , ,
On this episode of the MintCast, hosts Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod speak with Ahmed Kaballo, the man behind the viral media outlet that the U.S. government has been trying to silence. In September, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a speech smearing media platform African Stream as secretly funded and controlled by Vladimir Putin himself. As Blinken said: According to the outlet’s website, ‘African Stream is’ – and I quote ‘a pan-African digital media organization based exclusively on social media platforms, focused on giving a voice to all Africans, both at home and abroad.’ In reality, the only voice it gives is to Kremlin propagandists.” Blinken provided no evidence to support these assertions. Yet, within hours, Silicon Valley reacted and crushed Kaballo’s organization. African Stream’s YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook pages were permanently deleted, while its Twitter account was demonetized.

Chris Hedges Report: When Religious Mafia And Rightwing Extremists Take Over

August 14, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
One of the most stark examples of the expanding tide of authoritarianism worldwide was the 2017 murder of Gauri Lankesh, an Indian journalist and activist, allegedly assassinated by a far-right religious group in India for her fearless journalism. Joining host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report is Rollo Romig, a journalist whose Pulitzer Prize-finalist book, I Am On the Hit List: A Journalist’s Murder and the Ruse of Autocracy in India, examines the historic and political context of Lankesh’s murder. Romig chronicles the rise of Hindu nationalist extremism in India, linking it to India’s current authoritarian policies under Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Corporate Landlords Are Taking Over Society, Making Life Unaffordable

August 11, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Landlords are taking over society. For many average working people, it has become impossible to buy a house. And the cost of renting housing has become prohibitively expensive. This problem is especially bad in the United States. But it’s not only a problem in the US; it’s a problem in many countries around the world — especially in Western countries in North America and Europe, whose economies have become financialized. In the United States, for instance, the largest landlord is not an individual; it’s a massive Wall Street investment firm: Blackstone, the private equity fund. Blackstone owned more than 300,000 rental housing units in the US as of 2023. The number has only increased since then. Blackstone and other Wall Street investment funds have been gobbling up residential housing. Then they ratchet up the cost of rent, which has fueled homelessness, as many people are being evicted from their homes.

Chris Hedges Report: The Israeli And CIA Sponsored Guatemalan Genocide

August 7, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Known as the “Silent Holocaust,” the genocide in Guatemala is seldom mentioned in modern history. The United States, with support from Israel, backed yet another violent crusade against an indigenous population as well as against communism. The Guatemalan genocide — preceded by a CIA-instigated coup d’état of the Guatemalen government in 1954 and the ensuing civil war — saw hundreds of thousands of the Mayan Indigenous peoples and alleged communists massacred or disappeared. Jennifer Harbury, an attorney, author and human rights activist, witnessed the horrors of the genocidal campaign waged by the U.S.-backed Guatemalan military. Included in these horrors was the torture and disappearance of her husband, Mayan rebel leader Efraín Bámaca Velásquez (known as Everardo) by CIA-backed Guatemalan military officials.

US Arrests Chinese Scientists In Dangerous Escalation

August 6, 2025 KJ Noh, BreakThrough News.
The US arrested two Chinese researchers on National security-related charges for “smuggling” research materials into the US. But are these researchers really “agro-terrorists” posing a serious threat to US security, or are they the scapegoats in a rising cold war witch hunt against China? Linda Wan of Code Pink, Bob McMurray, and Judge Julie Tang discuss what’s really happening here.

How The World Can Free Itself From US Financial Colonialism

August 6, 2025 Ben Norton and Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
We are all living in a time of great change. There are massive geopolitical shifts happening in the world today, and we see the rise of new organizations like BRICs, which now represents more than 50% of the global population. The 20 countries of the extended BRICS+ now also make up more than 40% of world GDP, when measured at purchasing power parity (PPP). These new Global South-led organizations like BRICS represent the Global Majority. But there’s still a problem, which is that the most powerful international organizations today are largely dominated by the United States and the Western powers. This includes institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank. These are organizations where the U.S. is the only country on Earth that has veto power.

Chris Hedges Report: This Is Not A Drill

August 4, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. , , ,
Fame and fortune are often corrupting forces, ones that beget power and comfort. To stand with the afflicted requires sacrificing this privilege and few embody that sacrifice more profoundly than the legendary musician of Pink Floyd Roger Waters. For years, through his music and political action, Waters has amplified the voices of the oppressed. He has championed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, defended attorney Steven Donziger, demanded the closure of Guantánamo Bay, has long stood against the apartheid state of Israel and now unwaveringly against the genocide of Palestinians.
