Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Is Washington training a rebel army to “Occupy” 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.

Is Washington training a rebel army to “Occupy” Syria?

Click here to access article by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya from RT.

The Canadian sociologist and geopolitical analyst, whose focus has been on the conflicts in the Middle East, examines a recent publication of one of the Empire's primary think tanks to ascertain the next moves of the Empire in Syria. Specifically, he examines a document authored by Kevin Pollack of the Brookings Institution entitled “Building a Better Syrian Opposition Army: How and Why". (It might be worthwhile to compare this author's take on the document with that of Cartalucci's article entitled "ISIS is America’s Dream Rebel Army" that I posted earlier this month.)

It's clear that the same Zionists and associated ilk who planned and promoted the Iraqi invasion in 2003 are influencing the current dramatic strategies that we are seeing being employed to create even more chaos and bloodshed in the Middle East in order to advance Empire interests to control the abundant oil and gas resources and to promote Israeli hegemony in the region.
