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.

What Preceded The Islamic State Attacks In France - Some Links (Updated)
Although the author provides links to the history preceding this latest terrorist incident in Paris, he focuses mostly on France's contribution to ISIS. The French capitalist directors are really only a subsection of the US-led Empire that is trying to sow chaos and destabilization in the Middle East and North Africa in order to establish more Empire friendly regimes who will take orders from Empire directors.
Also we must keep in mind the high level of sophistication that characterized this event and many past events related to ISIS. To be sure, there are a considerable number of desperate people in the Middle East who have participated in these terrorist events, but this blogger has always found credible evidence of false-flag characteristics which suggests that Empire directors are simply using, training, and equipping these desperate people for their own nefarious ends.
