Surviving Capitalism (Not) : ‘McCarthyism on steroids’: US war on Russian media won’t stop with branding RT foreign agent

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.

I rely on websites like RT and teleSur to provide real news about what is happening in the world. They along with independent journalists and bloggers offer the only antidote to the brainwashing drugs that media corporations provide for ideological addicts here in the USA.
