in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
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.

Disinformation About Hizbullah Reveals Gullible Reporters
I don't think that the articles about Hizbullah were published because of some "gullible reporters". I'm surprised that someone as sophisticated as "Bernhard" would make such an assertion. Reporters don't decide what gets published for the most part in mainstream media, it is their editors and the editors' bosses among the One Percent who decide. Such reporting should just be read as propaganda put out by media agents of the Empire--probably Zionists--to promote more efforts to destroy the Syrian regime.
