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.

ISIS could not return after US withdrawal from Syria and Iraq [updated]
Magnier provides more evidence--as if you needed more--that the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire has been a key player behind the terrorist army in order to create regime change in Syria. The war criminals that lurk in the evil depths (the Deep State) and are in control of all major actions of the evil Empire have once again demonstrated that they will use any means to destroy their opponents and support the interests of the capitalist ruling class within the Empire.
