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.

The political operatives of the Empire and their enforcers are cracking down hard on protesters at the Chicago NATO meeting. It is vitally important that we get information out everywhere to help protect them. 

Besides planting evidence on protesters, political operatives and their enforcers are using their control of media to propagate the most outlandish lies. Just this morning on one TV network I saw an interview with a Chicago police officer who claimed that protesters were covering themselves with fake blood to simulate brutality and gain media sympathy!!!

For other coverage of the NATO protests, see this, this, and this.
