'US Wars to Continue Until its Economy Busts'

January 22nd, 2011

PressTV

Chris Hedges - American wars will continue until the country's giant corporations, which pay the politicians in Washington's corridors of power, become financially unsustainable, says senior fellow at the Nation Institute, Chris Hedges. Hedges told Press TV's U.S. Desk in a Wednesday interview that the economy will fail "because we're paying for it through debt, through borrowing." "Well the fact is like that ... like most wars this is the business. Unlike previous wars we have privatized many of the functions that the traditional military used to do and whether the wars go badly, we're certainly losing the war in Afghanistan," he pointed out. "And I think it ultimately has been covered in the New York Times that [the Afghan] war is also unwinnable. It doesn't really matter. There are huge corporations whose profits [have] swollen four by four," Hedges said. "The continuation of these conflicts is good for their bottom-line. That's why we're seeing very little reticence on the part of the government which knows how drastic the situation is in Afghanistan to pull back because the people who hold the ultimate power in the United States, which are corporations want these wars to continue," he went on to say. http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/160995.html

"thepeoplesvoice.org could be considered guilty of violating the "Shocking content" policy for publishing pictures of dead Palestinian children. That is the only possible violation that could be found. Google's accusation that every page contains "dangerous and derogatory content", "Unreliable and harmful claims", and "Shocking content", is a blatant lie. Therefore one can only conclude, the permanent suspension of the thepeoplesvoice.org's AdSence account is politically and ideologically motivated, and a veiled attempt at censorship." - From the article: The Google Boot
