in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
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.

Washington Post Covers Up US Meddling in Malaysia
One of the world's top analyst of information and propaganda scores again in this exposé of meddling by the Empire in Malaysia's politics. The author has been providing us with this valuable service for a number of years, and always with extensive documentation. Yes, once again, Cartalucci points out how the propaganda agents in the Empire's corporate media actually do what they accuse Russia of doing in the USA.
I can't understand why he is not recognized as a top political analyst by those Americans who want to think for themselves, and that he has not enjoyed a wide following by independent, unbrainwashed readers. Apparently too many people have succumbed to the intellectual passivity that propaganda agents have worked so hard for many years to instill in our "educated" as well as the larger society. Could it be that while many others are only posing as dissidents, he is really doing it?
