Surviving Capitalism (Not) : The Fall of Iraq

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 Fall of Iraq - What You're Not Being Told

Click here to access article and 13:17m video from SCG News.

This kind of political analysis is about as good as it gets. The associated transcript provides excellent documentation to back up the narrator's analysis. Because all the documentation has previously been reported on my website, I don't even need to look into his links to know that they are all authentic.

After viewing the above video and/or reading the transcript, I invite you to view the current video presentation below by Dick Cheney and his daughter to see how this ruling class warlord has changed his views since 1994. I have little doubt that such views reflect the current imperialist views of at least the right-wing of the ruling class directorate.
