Surviving Capitalism (Not) : West Leverages Paris Attacks for Syria Endgame

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.

West Leverages Paris Attacks for Syria Endgame

Click here to access article by Tony Cartalucci from New Eastern Outlook.

The terrorist attacks carried out in the heart of the French capital, either coincidentally or intentionally, have served as the perfect point of leverage for the West on the very eve of the so-called “Vienna talks” regarding Syria. [my link]

With its serendipitously strengthened hand and with France taking a more prominent role, the West is attempting to reassert not only its narrative, but its agenda regarding the ongoing conflict in Syria, an agenda that has – as of late – been derailed by Russia’s military intervention and recent gains made on the battlefield by Syrian military forces.

Cartlucci argues with solid evidence that the Empire is using the latest terrorist attack in Paris to continue the pursuit of its agenda to destabilize Syria as it has done for Libya (and Iraq), and to go on from there to destabilize other countries in the region--otherwise known as the "seven country strategy".
