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.

US Peace Council on Syria: Terrorism in Syria Sponsored by the US

Click here if you wish to access the introduction and 29:49m video directly from Judy Bello's website The Deconstructed Globe

I could have sworn that I posted this, or similar article/video, several months ago, but I can't find it. There are many people in this delegation organized by the US Peace Council who have been featured in other video presentations about their trip to Syria in August of this year--Judy was one of them. This excellent video was recently posted on YouTube, and I thank her for posting it on her website.
Members of the US Peace Council and our Fact Finding Peace Delegation to Syria recently published the following video on Syria. They talk about the role of the US in sponsoring Terrorism in Syria and the efforts of the Syrian government to restore order and provide ongoing support and to the Syrian people. It provides an excellent overview of what is really happening in Syria.
