This is a holding page,. A little nonsense until I decide what this index page is for. If you'd like to see some of my enthusiams or interests, check out "Jack's Journal" link at bottom, my personal blog.

Chris Hedges is a free lance reporter with extensive experience covering several of America's imperialistic adventures. Introduced by Amy Goodman of KPFA, the event reveals just how hostile current public sentiment is to civil liberties and truth seeking.
