Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Gov. Shutdown Of TeleSUR & "Empire Files" Explained By Abby Martin

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.

Gov. Shutdown Of TeleSUR & "Empire Files" Explained By Abby Martin

View the video below that reports on Abby Martin's experience with censorship and related matters on the Jimmy Dore Show. View it before YouTube or the corporation, Google, that "owns" them, takes the post down. There is a war on for your mind. No, I'm not referring to Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine, Israel and all the other countries that are plagued by war.

The ruling capitalist classes of the Empire have declared war on your mind, and they are gradually shutting down all dissident views which challenge their power. On one side are the (hopefully) millions of people that support truth-tellers like Abby Martin, Jimmy Dore, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, etc, and on the other side are the corporations who quite literally "own" the USA and large parts of other nations. Which side are you on (see this and this)?
