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.

Brzezinski's Ghost: The Geopolitics of the Trump Administration

Click here to listen to a one hour interview with geopolitical analyst F. William Engdahl conducted by Bonnie Faulkner on her radio show called "Guns and Butter" carried on many listener sponsored stations on the Pacifica Network.

Engdahl elaborates on many subjects the late Zbigniew Brzezinski who had so much influence over anti-Russian policies and strategies because of his almost obsessive hatred of all things Russia. Brzezinski, whose family had a history in the Polish aristocracy, was brought into prominent political influence by the Rockefeller clan who were, and probably still are, key members of the Deep State. These policies, which Engdahl reviews, have continued under the neocons ziocons like Wolfowitz, the Bush clan, Rumsfeld, and in recent years, Victoria Nuland. Brzezinski's influence is seen by Engdahl to be continuing in the Trump administration.
