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 Saturday, May 29, 2021

Personal Note: The Minnesota co-op food store where I was protesting the requirement that all workers wear masks despite the governor of Minnesota cancelling this requirement more than week ago under his legal emergency orders, has been cancelled effective June 1, 2021. Thus, I am dropping my protest activities.
  • 💥James Corbett Speaks to an ex-MSM Journalist from The Corbett Report (1:14:12hr). This is a best post. (Note: This is an important interview which clarifies the independent research of James Corbett who has grown up with the internet, but has also been thoroughly indoctrinated by agents employed or funded by the capitalist ruling class in pro-capitalist views of contemporary news, issues, and above all, history.) My reaction: Corbett has noticed all the contradictions, obfuscations, and outright censorship in capitalist generated "reality", but has not yet reached an understanding of class conflict so thoroughly investigated and written about by Karl Marx--which has been absolutely verboten in capitalist nations--who grew up with the rise of the capitalist classes.
This week on “James Corbett Redpills the Normies,” James talks to Alison Morrow, a self-described refugee from mainstream journalism who quit her 12-year career as an award-winning reporter after her attempts to report real news were consistently thwarted. (Learn more about Alison’s incredible story in this interview.) Today, Alison interviews James about the centralization of control, c, ommunication, and consciousness in the hands of an oligarchical elite and how we can combat their agenda.
