Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Posts that I especially recommend for Monday, May 10, 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.
—Frances Moore Lappé, excerpt from Time for Progressives to Grow Up

Posts that I especially recommend for Monday, May 10, 2021

Janet Yellen Is Attempting to Consolidate the Fed’s Power to “Supervise” Wall Street Banks by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. My reaction: Notice the last paragraph in which the Marten's reveal their gullibility and naiveté about Biden. Biden answers to the ruling class much as Yellen does.

Google CAUGHT Helping CIA Spy On You featuring Jimmy Dore, normally a comic (def--#3), seriously exposing the CIA, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., the rest of their media corporations and their role in subverting real news coverage in the USA. (Note: "establishment" = the ruling capitalist class.) My reaction: I wish the general population could be as informed about our masters as comics like Dore, Hopkins, and R. Brand are.

The American Cyber Stasi Will Suppress All Digital Dissent In Biden’s Dystopia by Andrew Korybko from Off-Guardian.

We can defeat the corporate media’s war to snuff out independent journalism by Jonathan Cook from Dissident Voice.

💥Propaganda and the Media: Part 1 – Introduction by Larry Romanoff from "The Saker" blog. This is a best post. (Note: You will need to know what "DDoS" means.) My reaction (Revised my reaction at 6:30 AM CT on Tuesday.): This knowledgeable person packs a lot of insights and factual history in this post. I especially found his comments about Chinese news media helpful. I rarely agree 100% with my posts, but I agree with probably 95% of this post. No one person knows everything! That is why we are social animals and depend on each other for the truth, among other important things. However, we are up against a US/Anglo/Zionist Empire that intentionally deceives us. I will provide my differences from Romanoff in future commentaries or reactions.

USAID admits to Venezuela regime change fraud featuring Anya Parampil and Red Lines' channel on YouTube revealing a well-kept secret. From The Grayzone. (Note: Because YouTube is playing games with left-wing and independent websites, you will need to watch the video directly on YouTube.)

History: The Kent State May 4, 1970 Shootings. New Documents Surface, Raise Serious Questions by Taylor Hudak, a journalist, and Alan Frank, the son of an important figure in the incident from Global Research.

What’s Really Happening In Jerusalem featuring Ryan Cristián interviewing Robert Inlakesh on his take on what is happening in Israel.
