Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Tribute to the Last Honorable US Senator: The Story of Paul Wellstone’s Suspected Assassination

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.

Tribute to the Last Honorable US Senator: The Story of Paul Wellstone’s Suspected Assassination

Click here to access article by Joachim Hagopian from Global Research. (Note: Instead of posting this article from Hagopian's blog according to my usual policy, I am using the post from Global Research because it includes a much more elaborate bio on Hagopian--at the end of the article.)

On October 25th, 2002 the last great hero of the common people in the US Senate was very likely murdered by agents of the shadow US crime cabal government otherwise known as the Bush-Cheney regime. His wife and daughter and two pilots also died in the air crash. Paul Wellstone’s story deserves to be retold and Americans need to be reminded that criminals in and out of our government still need to be punished for their unindicted crimes. This article was written as both a tribute to an outstanding American patriot and a reexamination of his probable assassination by criminals still on the loose.
