Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia and Israel

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.

Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia and Israel

Click here to access article by Robert Parry from ConsortiumNews.

I am very impressed with the way Parry has carefully assembled many bits and pieces of evidence to construct an interpretation of events that remain obscured by the Empire's propaganda machinery. His construction ties together so many very important events reaching back to 9/11 and "terrorist" incidents even before then, terrorist events in Chechnya, the overthrow of Ukraine's government by neo-Nazis, and recent events in the Middle East. The project he constructs is still unfinished, but it contributes another major part of the giant puzzle that other honest geopolitical analysts can add to. His construction also confirms many suspicions about the major role of the Zionist/neocon faction in determining Empire actions.
