Surviving Capitalism (Not) : US presses for UN resolution to justify war on Syria

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.

It's clear that the Empire directorate is determined to attack Syria. They only need to find a convincing lie to justify it to the American people. This article provides the details on the latest attempt to do an end-run around the Security Council and use the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons located at The Hague, Netherlands to provide the needed excuse. What would be desirable would be information about this organization that gives such confidence to the Empire's directorate to provide them with this excuse.
