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.

Hassan Nasrallah: Daesh is Still a US-Israeli Asset, Threatens Central Asia

Click here to access a speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayed Hassan Nasrallah posted on Resistance New, Unfiltered. (Unless you know Arabic, go directly to the transcript below the video sections.)

If you don't believe this Arab leader who is vilified in corporate media, I have at least 25 other posts that support his argument that the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire and its satellite Saudi Arabia are responsible for the terrorist proxy armies that invaded Syria.
Where did they come from? Who brought them here? Who armed them? Who eased up things for them and gave them all the opportunities? Who gave them money? Who opened all the borders for them? Who covered them favorably in the media? All the Arab satellite channels constantly repeated (with praise) "the Islamic State"! Who (did all that)? We must never forget! Neither the Lebanese who have pushed back Daesh in the Jurd of Ersal and in the Bekaa have the right to forget, nor the Syrian people, nor the Iraqi people, nor all the peoples of the region must ever forget (all the atrocities) perpetrated by Daesh, (the Western and regional countries & media that supported them), and everything that Daesh will continue to do, as I'll mention later.
