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 Truthseeker: Boston Bombing - What You Aren't Told

Click here to access article from RT via YouTube.

After weeks of watching mainstream TV coverage of "news" related to the Boston bombing incident, I have arrived at a worrying conclusion: we have entered a new phase in the development of a police state. Watching TV news coverage is precisely like what you would have if the "news" was being broadcast from the Pentagon or the Office of Homeland Security, or any other such government enforcement agency. 

There is never any mention of inconsistencies or discrepancies in the official version of what happened, and it appears that corporate TV directors are attempting to elaborate and support any official versions. This 11:24m video offers a plausible real scenario to what actually occurred, and an antidote to the non-stop propaganda-like coverage that is pouring into the living rooms of Americans across the US.
