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.

Syria: The Faces Behind The Terror

Click here to access article by Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich from My Catbird Seat

She begins by posting a 5:51m video of courageous Irish parliamentarian condemning her government's warm reception of a recent visit by Obama whom she referred to as a “war criminal” and “hypocrite of the century”. She, of course, was referring to his support of the jihadist criminals and mercenaries in Syria and other places. 

However, this independent researcher and author does us a great service by pulling back the curtain to reveal some of the real directors and their interests in driving the bloodletting in Syria. We learn that Obama and many other characters we see in the media are merely actors playing the role of "pimps" and "prostitutes" in this horrifying drama.
While Daly was quite right in censuring Obama for his criminal policies, including aiding terrorists in Syria, it is worthwhile noting that Obama is merely a willing instrument; the  faces and factors behind his handlers and the policies merit greater scrutiny and exposure.
