Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Posts that I especially recommend for Sunday, March 14, 2021

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 for Sunday, March 14, 2021

💥Bill Gates’ Foundation Funded ‘DNA Mining’ Using COVID-19 Tests featuring Ryan Cristián in an excerpt (36:34m) from his regular show "The Daily Wrap Up 3/6/21" (lasting nearly five hours) posted on The Last American Vagabond. (Note: Cristián reports with documented evidence numerous unsavory connections between not only Big Pharma working under "public-private partnerships" with government agencies, but China as well. He reads extensively from an article published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) shocking revelations which disclose the corrupting influences of international pharmaceutical corporations, in collusion with various governments, Congressional leaders, Bill Gates, etc.) This is a best post. My reaction follows: There have been so many qualified people who have raised serious questions and objections regarding these vaccines (here is another) that I wouldn't get a vaccine if they paid me a small fortune to get it.

Why Are Drugmakers Who Caused Opioid Crisis in Charge of Solving the Pandemic? featuring Russell Brand, a British entertainer, arguing that "It makes sense ... that some people have doubts about allowing corporations with a history of prioritizing profits over people to be in charge of solving the pandemic" in a 15:41m video posted on the Children's Health Defense website.
