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.

Blackwater and RAW trying to stir sectarian riots in Pakistan

by Abdus Sattar Ghazali from OpEd News.
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan, a leading religious political party, has accused the Blackwater and Indian intelligence agency RAW for Sunday's bomb blasts at the shrine of Hazrat Sakhi Sarwar in DG Khan which claimed at least 49 lives and left scores wounded. In a press statement, the JI chief Syed Munawar Hasan, said the enemy agencies were out to spark sectarian riots in the country to harm the national unity and drive the country towards a civil war.
Although the headline refers only to a claim by a religious leader in Pakistan, his theory fits with a long history of false flag and Salvador Option methods used by US and Israeli secret services to create civil wars and chaos in the countries they wish to control.

There was one fairly recent incident that made it into Western media. In 2005 in Iraq some British secret service operatives were caught red-handed dressed as Arabs and loaded with explosives in their vehicle.

Isn't it comforting to know that your tax dollars don't go only for bailing out banksters?
