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.

'Ukraine on Fire': Oliver Stone Docu on US Destruction of Ukraine Finally Available in the West (VIDEO)

Click here to access article that includes Oliver Stone's film "Ukraine on Fire" posted on Signs of the Times (SOTT). (Again I must thank my online friend and supporter Christopher from northwest Oregon for alerting me to this post.) (I had to edit it for clarity at around 6:17 PM Seattle time because I made so many errors--I am not feeling 100%.)

I can personally vouch for the accuracy of the facts presented in this film that was again uploaded recently on YouTube. You are encouraged to view it and download it before Google, Inc. which owns YouTube, disappears it. (Notice that I attempted to post the film in March 2017, but it was shortly taken down.) 
 
The article provides an excellent introduction to the film. The film begins with some background history of Ukraine which prepares us for the material presented about this carefully engineered coup d'état starting at about 25 minutes, and you will learn about most of the methods they used.

I documented most of the events of this in separate posts while it was taking place in late 2013 and 2014, and attempted to summarize all my posts until I ran out of energy and time in January of 2015.

Our masters in the Deep State of the USA, lauded for being the "land of the free, and the home of the brave" in a country that pretends to practice democracy, have also taken this experience with "colored revolutions" and crafted it into an advanced method that they are now using against us called "post-truth politics". We are now subject to an ongoing fabrication of reality in order to preserve their capitalist rule and to amass even more profits and power for this tiny class while threatening us with never-ending wars and nuclear wars. In the long run (should we survive that long) we face extinction due to their ongoing assault on the climate.
