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.

How to Boycott Big Tech

Click here to access article by Sibel Edmonds from Boiling Frogs.

This brief article is an introduction to a James Corbett 18:08m video that provides valuable information on ways to circumvent NSA spying on your internet and email activities, and to boycott big tech companies that are collaborating with spy agencies. The video is available to subscribers, while a shortened version and an even longer transcript are available to everyone. I strongly encourage people to subscribe to this website which is doing so much to combat Empire lies, secrecy, and surveillance on citizens.
