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 Friday, March 26, 2021

  • Speaking Naturally with Dr Geert Vanden Bossche featuring Rob Verkerk PhD interviewing ex-pharma, ex-GAVI, ex-Gates vaccinologist Dr Geert Vanden Bossche in a 1:27:39 video from Alliance for Natural Health International. (Note: This article has been re-posted by Children's Health Defense). My reaction: Because I have not had the training necessary to evaluate Bossche's argument and my reduced hearing of what he argues (particularly with heavily accented English, but due primarily to advanced age), I cannot say that his position is correct or not. But I insist that all highly-trained specialists be heard in the efforts to prevent Covid-19 infections, and I condemn all efforts to silence these experts which have been occurring in profit-dedicated capitalist societies.
