Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Prof. Diana Ralph: There's Little Doubt That the US Was Involved in the 9/11 Attacks

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.

Prof. Diana Ralph: There's Little Doubt That the US Was Involved in the 9/11 Attacks

Click here to access article featuring an interview conducted by Kourosh Ziabari with a Canadian retired professor posted on FARS News Agency (Iran).

I do not believe that the American people, or likely the Israeli people, understand the underlying economic and political reasons for the post 9/11 assaults on their civil liberties and the huge economic costs of waging these brutal military attacks. They are subjected to enormous propaganda from the media, the educational system, and government announcements about terror threats, to believe that these “anti-terrorism” measures are necessary.

Although a number of her observations about 9/11 corresponds well with facts and interpretations I learned from a wide variety of other independent sources that I've followed since that incident, I also learned a few more very interesting items. Prof. Ralph has clearly done her research very thoroughly.
