Surviving Capitalism (Not) : US Openly Approves Hong Kong Chaos it Created

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.

US Openly Approves Hong Kong Chaos it Created

Click here to access article by Tony Cartalucci from Land Destroyer Report.

Cartalucci has dug up a lot of information to support his argument that the "Occupy Central" protests in China have been to a considerable degree engineered by the usual subversive agents of the Empire:

Behind the so-called "Occupy Central" protests, which masquerade as a "pro-democracy" movement seeking "universal suffrage" and "full democracy," is a deep and insidious network of foreign financial, political, and media support. Prominent among them is the US State Department and its National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as well as NED's subsidiary, the National Democratic Institute (NDI).

I certainly wouldn't go so far as to argue that many people in these protests are not genuinely concerned about democracy, but would there really be a significant difference between candidates selected by the capitalist oriented Communist Party of China and those selected by the ruling oligarch's in Hong Kong? Can either create, or even have an interest in creating, a real democracy in Hong Kong?

Here is a followup report from Cartalucci which I have only scanned.
