in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
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.

ISIS Commander Confesses The Terror Group Is Receiving Funds Via The US
The brief article contains links to documentation that support the argument that US and its medieval kingdom allies are providing financial support to ISIS. This corroborates the impressions of many independent journalists and other Middle East observers who have argued that ISIS is another terrorist instrument of the Empire. A consensus among such people is that ISIS was organized by Saudi Arabia and associates and now evidence is surfacing that the US is also providing funding.
The directors of the Empire found terrorist armies particularly useful in the 1980s especially after their successful applications in Nicaragua with their support of the Contras which overthrew the Sandinista government, and then in Afghanistan with their sponsorship of the Mujahideen armies which managed to overthrow the government of Afghanistan that had close relations with the Soviet Union.
