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.

Seeking War to the End of the World

Click here to access article by Robert Parry from ConsortiumNews.
If the neoconservatives have their way again, U.S. ground troops will reoccupy Iraq, the U.S. military will take out Syria’s secular government (likely helping Al Qaeda and the Islamic State take over), and the U.S. Congress will not only kill the Iran nuclear deal but follow that with a massive increase in military spending.

Like spraying lighter fluid on a roaring barbecue, the neocons also want a military escalation in Ukraine to burn the ethnic Russians out of the east, and the neocons dream of spreading the blaze to Moscow with the goal of forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin from the Kremlin.
This is another partial exposé of the "neocon" phenomenon that should be more accurately labeled as a Zionist Fifth Column (ZFC) in the US. Their allegiance to Israel has little to do with traditional American conservatism except that its adherents, who are right-wing Jews on steroids and their right-wing Christian pals, have become enamored with the use of violence to attain wealth and power while faithfully advocating strong support of the racist European colony in the Middle East called Israel. If this sounds familiar, it is because we've already seen this in the last century when it was identified as fascism or Nazism.

I noticed this morning that Zionist influence appears to be extending to the use of words. Traditional American conservatives are now referred to as "paleoconservatives". The prefix "paleo" of course refers to ancient, and as such has a rather pejorative connotation in contrast to "neoconservative" which has a mildly positive connotation. But then, of course, we live in an Orwellian age.
