We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

I don't how valid this leaked piece of news is; but if it is true, it could be the start of something big. Worth keeping an eye on.
A leaked memo between the Taoiseach’s Office and the Irish Central Bank reveals that plans are well advanced for Ireland to leave the European Monetary Union and join the new monolithic international banking system set up by the BRICS countries, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
The news is setting off alarm bells within the IMF and their controllers in Wall Street.
