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.

  • The Agenda behind Bill Gates Vaccine & ID2020 : Coronavirus Conspiracies featuring "Syrian Girl" (via YouTube) offering much information to suggest that conspiracies may be involved. (Note: She is well informed and credible, and offers new information that citizens need to be aware of. I am not suggesting that conspiracies are involved in this pandemic, but we need to be aware that conspiracies (like shit) sometimes happen.)
