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.

Where Are the Indictments of Those Implicated in the Coup Attempt Against Trump?

Click here to access article by Paul Craig Roberts from his weblog.

Added to this smear campaign against Donald Trump by NPR was performed by America's Public Broadcast Service (PBS) during a two hour anti-Trump barrage about Saudi Arabia which I viewed last night on television. They made sure that Trump was identified with the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Obviously, PBS had all this programming prepared months and even some instances, years ahead of time. Is the timing coincidental coming after the Deep State decided to initiate impeachment proceedings against him because of his "crime" against their chosen candidate, Joe Biden? (This reminds me of the extraordinary efforts to elect Ronald Reagan.)

By the way, I don't go along with Roberts' loyalty to the Republican Party. Both parties, that we are allowed to vote for, represent the capitalist class and their opportunistic supporters, mostly well-paid upper-middle class people, who are indispensable for the system to function.
