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: Tuesday, February 9, 2021

  • Trust the Science by Dave Cullen, an Irishman, in a satirical 9:37m video from his Bitchute channel Computing Forever.
  • The (New Normal) War on Domestic Terror by CJ Hopkins from his satirical weblog Consent Factory, Inc. My reaction: No doubt the NY Times triggered this response by calling for a "Reality Czar". I think Hopkins could be put out of the satirical business by reading/watching mainstream media. They increasingly write/show their own self-targeting satire.
  • Joe Biden and the Revenge of the Behaviorists (Why Statistical Thinking Can Get You Killed) by Matthew Ehret from FRN (Fort Russ News). My reaction: This post reveals how scientists can, and often do, serve the capitalist ruling class, who are already corrupted by wealth and power, by manipulating data to support ruling class policies. Such scientists are rewarded with comfortable careers for the benefit of themselves and their families. The necessity of preserving their privileged life-styles is often too alluring for scientists, especially when they already have sociopathic tendencies.
  • Canadian Government Delays Mandatory Traveler Quarantine featuring an interview with John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which appears to be a non-profit center that is independent of the government, conducted by James Corbett, a Canadian, from The Corbett Report. (Note: Canada is very much a part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire being a former member of the British Empire. Many of Carpay's comments apply to Americans. Of course, we are both citizens of the same imperialist Empire.)
The Canadian government announced it was going to subject Canadian residents to mandatory quarantine, at their own expense, after returning from international travel, regardless of their negative COVID status. After public backlash and the threat of legal action, the government is now delaying those plans, but some are alleging that the government has already arrested Canadians arriving in the country by air and transported them to a secret hotel location. Joining us to discuss this developing story and what Canadians can do about it is John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.

The plan to radically restructure agrifood in the country is being sold to the public under the guise of ‘modernising’ the sector. And this is to be carried out by self-proclaimed ‘wealth creators’ like Zuckerberg, Bezos and Ambani who are highly experienced at creating wealth – for themselves.
