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.

RT parody video: How Kremlin propaganda works (with English subtitles)

Click here if you wish to access this RT produced video directly from OffGuardian



I think RT produced this hilarious video as a satirical response to all the claims by Empire officials that RT's coverage is biased. Empire officials must deny the authenticity of RT’s coverage because the Empire’s media reports are so infiltrated with bias, fake news, and false-flag events. Although some of these officials may buy into their media’s coverage, I think most know that their media are lying simply because they feed the media these lies.
