thank you so much

[@not2tees]

The last 5 minutes are imageless and soundless, in case you didn't know. Thanks, though. The whole Assange story - it's epic, really. An old guy like me, I feel a lot of admiration for both him and Hedges, but I wish I didn't feel so confused. The world has become so different, I collapse into my interior selves and disconnect, to re-ground myself after checking such matters out from time to time.

I know the exact feeling. After taking in all the horrendous realities for a while (through the lens of e.g. Hedges' learned and eloquent perspective), I need to look away. Almost like a baby who needs time to process new information.

I am not sure how old u are, but I feel the same way at 42. I check quite often, but I too hurt. My world is crumbling down, n this most real-life Romantic hero means the world to me. I am gutted that I cannot just get a sword n a few knights n rescue him. He is so beautiful in d full meaning of the word. He is making History Epic. There is a protagonist now. There were only masses of victims. Thr is a hero fighting for us. We should all live outside that embassy full time until he is released.

Martha vamos a por ti

[@moejundy8936]

Why did they take the full video down and does anyone have it?

[@HeavyDukes22]

What is Alex Jones Inc.? I have been trying to figure this out myself. As for his appearance on the show, i do not think he compromised one bit. He said the things he always says, good or bad,

Martha, we find u

[@2suss412]

He only spoke truth

[@jophoenix3919]

I never thought I would have commonalty with Alex Jones for a verity of reasons. However I have changed my mind Alex Jones fully understands the need to fight Fascism. He sales seeds and natural foods and things to stay alive which may well be needed. I have a grate deal of respect for him now and i am so glad I open up my closed mind because this man deserves my respect. After all ,this is not a dress rehearsal.....Commonality and people who have a spine. Think about it.........

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

There are quite a few people who start out with Alex Jones, then "graduate" to more sober and interesting sources. Hedges was as good as ever in that interview, and he may have pulled a few people up and away from Jones in the process. I don't see what's wrong with that.
