Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Fresh prime time war propaganda targets Iran

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.

Fresh prime time war propaganda targets Iran

Click here to access article by John Pilger from Green Left (Australia). (Note: "MoD" in the article refers to the British Ministry of Defense.)

This great independent journalist once again shows, mostly to a British audience, how the British media is constructing lies to manage the consent of the public in support of another invasion--this time, on Iran. With the One Percent's dominance of mass media, their messages always overwhelm the voices of truth-telling journalists like Pilger.

However, one sees cracks appearing in the gullibility of the 99 Percent. Should most of the public turn away from mainstream media to independent journalism for their information, one will then see the velvet gloves come off the fascist hands of the real authorities who govern us. As frightening as this prospect is, reality and truth can be very refreshing.
