Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Emma Sky - British 'Mother of Daesh' Wants To Reoccupy Iraq [a "best post"]

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.

Emma Sky - British 'Mother of Daesh' Wants To Reoccupy Iraq [a "best post"]

Click here to access article by Bernhard from Moon of Alabama.

Reading this piece requires some knowledge of Iraq, its past decade of politics under US occupation, and some effort. However it seems to me that if you can manage all of these requirements, you will find some very rich political gems in the article that will help you understand recent and current events in that area of the US-led Empire.

It is clear from my reading that Emma Sky is a very useful Deep State figure whose task is to promote the Empire's many interests in this strategic, oil rich area and curbing Iran's influence. In addition the article reveals connections between her role and the rise of the terrorist armies of al-Qaeda and ISIS. This piece represents investigative journalism at its best.
