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 Road to World War 3

Click here to access video posted on StormCloudsGathering.

This 13:48m video offers the most concise and valid argument that I have seen which implores the American people to act because to continue to remain passive insures that our society will remain on the road to a totalitarian nightmare state and WWIII. The video highlights the most influential facts determining the course of history since WWII, their implications for the future, and offers reasonable recommendations for action. 

I just discovered this website this morning, and thus far have only viewed three other videos. Unfortunately, one of the videos I found presented the old, tired, hysterical accusations about water fluoridation. So, as usual, you as a thinking person will have to make up your own mind by using your critical thinking skills to judge the soundness of the other videos and the website as a whole.
