Saving  Gaia  Means  Overthrowing  The  Ruling  Elites

If you read my last blog post, you know I have doubts about saving the planet by nonviolent protest. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author Chris Hedges confirms my suspicions in this excellent examination of what Gaia activists are up against in this Truthdig essay. He writes that "the ruling elites and the corporations they serve are the principal obstacles to change. They cannot be reformed. And this means revolution... Power has to be transferred into our hands. And since the elites won't give up power willingly, we will have to take it through nonviolent action."

Of course, I still don't believe nonviolent action will save the day but I guess it's at least worth a try since our violent action was crushed by Uncle Sam-- if done on a global scale (something else I don't see happening). In any event, the article is well-worth the read because it's a one-stop shop for environmental information and a look at the dark side of humanity where the rich come first and want to keep it that way, ie, it's a real eye-opener.
