in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
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.

De-Manufacturing Consent- “Boston Bombing Revisited: Official Narrative Unraveling”
The first video is a 5 minute excerpt of the longer 55 minute interview--the latter being accessed by subscribers only.
If you are a non-subscriber, I hope after listening to the first short video that you will subscribe. However, if for whatever reason you cannot or decide not to do this, you can access much of the material in written form in two articles on Russ Baker's website, here and here.
The latest material which Russ Baker provides casts considerable doubts on the official version pedaled by mainstream media. We have seen many investigations which found that the official versions of the many incidents from Nine-Eleven to the Boston Bombing are not supported by the evidence. (See this, this, this, and this.) Many keen observers have concluded that inducing fear in people through false-flag terrorism is being used for a variety of nefarious purposes.
Just today I viewed the latest attempt to do this while view CBS morning news on television which reported on a supposed Al Qaeda plan to bomb cars and other civilian targets in cities across the US. Their source is an online magazine whose authenticity they take for granted even though numerous questions have been raised about its authenticity in the past.
