Chris Hedges: 'Black Bloc' Could Kill OWS


In this inteview Chris Hedges points out that there is a danger in recent events in Occupy; that anarchists the he calls the ‘Black bloc’ could undermine or even destroy the Occupy movement through violent tactics.
The Occupy movement have to draw a line between themselves and these groups that undermine the manistream and non-violent nature of the movement; they may even act as agents provocateurs.

Major interview with Chris Hedges

We're continuing our discussion of wanting to take the influence of money out of politics with Author and Truthout columnist Chris Hedges. 

Overturning Citizens United is just one step, but for those that have been monitoring the Occupy movement for over the last four months, they know that it's about much more. 

But where does public opinion stand on Occupy now that the majority of the camps have been evicted? Now that we've seen in some cities, violence come into play, in what's meant to be a peaceful movement. 

Hedges pin points the black bloc anarchists, and calls them the cancer within Occupy. 

And says that if their confrontational tactics begin to shape public opinion, and allow local governments to justify draconian forms of control, the Occupy movement is finished.
