Chris Hedges; Pulitizer Prize winning Journalist

“The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages.” - Banksy

Chris Hedges, over twenty years of experience as international journalist & correspondent in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, and Panama.
   The media hates Chris because he is a truth-seeker, and refuses to maintain the largest publications in the world.
   For example, following his 20 years in very dangerous conditions, he landed a dream job at the New York Times. 
   After some time, his editor told him not to write about the Afghan war. "Keep it light." Hedges refused on the spot. was fired on the spot. He promptly laded his books and original journals from the previous 20 years, grabbed his Pulizer, and quietly exited the building, never to return. 
   Ever since then Chris has been hounded, and threats were made to publishers who printed his essays.
    For the past 10 years, Cbris has been hired at prestigious outlets:
