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.

Immigrant Crisis: Facts, Myth or Plot?

Click here to access article by "Brainstorm" from A bird's eye view of the Vineyard

This piece seems overly long and filled with awkward expressions of English (either it was rather poorly translated or it was written by someone whose English was a second language), but it offers many sound reasons to be suspicious about any explanation for the European immigrant crisis which suggests that it simply just happened by itself. The evidence and arguments that this writer presents suggests that it is another deceptive strategy implemented by the Empire directorate and its allies to support the Empire's many hegemonic interests in the Middle East and Europe.
Decades long, war mongering politics of US and NATO satellites, their role in creating and backing various insurgent and terrorist groups from Afghanistan to the Levant and North Africa, brutal neocolonial politics of the Western “corporate governments”, guided from the shadows by the huge corporate business, every present hunger and greed for influence, markets and resources; brutal regime changes by the means of “color revolutions”; breaking all agreed international standards and laws, forcing UN to surrender and capitulate under the enormous pressure of US administration are destroying already fragile balance and security system established after the WW2.
