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.

Posts that I especially recommend today: Monday, May 4, 2020

My commentary: In this nine-month-old post, Kennedy proves with considerable documentation that many government agencies and leaders of such agencies, especially those that are directly concerned with drugs, have been co-opted by Big Pharma (the pharmaceutical industry) with "ownership" of stocks in the industry. Thus, they are heavily compromised by pursuing policies that increase their capital gains of stocks which they own in the pharmaceutical industry.
Now during this pandemic we learn that citizens like Bill Gates who have used his $-billions by helping to fund agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO) which is an agency of the United Nations and oversees drug policies worldwide. Furthermore, there are many other involved in the government's leadership who are heavily compromised.
Yes, I know that this is shock to some of you to learn that the capitalist "virus" has spread throughout government agencies that are officially responsible for the safety of drugs that you consume. But what you may not be aware of is that the capitalist virus has spread throughout all institutions of our society. The only remedy is revolution.
Perspectives on the Pandemic - Episode 6: When Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Antin Massihi held a press conference on April 22nd about the results of testing they conducted at their urgent care facilities around Bakersfield, California, the video, uploaded by a local ABC news affiliate, went viral. After reaching five million views, YouTube took it down on the grounds that it "violated community standards." We followed up with the doctors to determine what was so dangerous about their message. What we discovered were reasonable and well-meaning professionals whose voices should be heard.
