Surviving Capitalism (Not) : CIA Hordes Climate Data from Scientists

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.

CIA Hordes Climate Data from Scientists

Click here to access article by Josh Paniagua from AntiMedia.

We see in this article the super-salesman of the Empire's government expressing concerns about the threat of climate destabilization, and meanwhile the CIA is no longer willing to share relevant information. The author reaches this conclusion:

One doesn’t need to be an Obama supporter to recognize that climate change and extreme weather are real concerns and can have detrimental effects on future generations. We need to see it studied and understood further, not have the images that the CIA already has in its possession hidden from climate scientists. But in an act of predictability, the US government has decided to aim its focus on enemies overseas and continue to horde information from the American people.
