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, June 11, 2021

  • Fauci Declares Himself INFALLIBLE! featuring Jimmy Dore (via his YouTube channel--15:36m) exposing Dr. Fauci, a government bureaucrat in charge of our health, for what he is--sociopathic liar. My reaction: You have to be a "sociopathic liar" to serve the ruling class.
  • Interview 1648 -- New World Next Week with James Evan Pilato featuring James Corbett and James Evan Pilato discussing the latest news which includes Japan's Olympics, cyber-attacks (and other fake propaganda "Reset" ploys), vaccination stories, etc., and Corbett's inferences based on these reports. 
As long as the US is the center of a globe-spanning empire, it will be necessary to keep Americans too poor, too busy and too confused to interfere with the operation of the machine. You cannot allow a critical mass of Americans to have enough money to spend on political campaign donations, to have enough free time to research what’s actually happening in their world, to be sufficiently stress-free to look up and realize that your government is murdering children in their name, and also keep the empire running smoothly. You cannot have an imperialist oligarchy who runs things and also have income and wealth equality. 
 
Johnstone concludes her article with this insightful statement about any effective solution: 

It’s not that you can’t beat the machine, it’s that you can’t beat the machine using the tools the machine has given you. A grassroots effort to wake each other up to reality is a very achievable goal, and once enough eyes are open, anything is possible.
  • The United States Started the Korean War from the YouTube channel of Tales of the American Empire. (Note: This is a short, authentic history of our post-WWII policies toward Asia.) My reaction: This history has been re-written by US historians that were motivated by career aspirations. They could not aspire to a career in academia unless they rewrote history to conform to the empire-building efforts of the cabal that took control in the post-WWII ruling class. This is a rare opportunity for you to recover a small part of the real history. 
  • Biden's DHS Attacks Pipeline Protestors featuring Jimmy Dore (via his YouTube channel--7:31m) to reveal a true history of two single, but related, events--the protests that people organized in opposition to the Keystone pipeline in North Dakota and similar protests in northern Minnesota. My reaction: And many of you depend upon reports by media corporations to cover the news!
  • A Sinister Agenda Behind California Water Crisis? by F. William Engdahl from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Engdahl is one of the geopolitical experts, who are in denial of the climate crisis. He proposes a conspiracy theory which is rooted in government regulatory agencies where there is none. Such experts and most state bureaucrats and politicians view environmental regulations to save threatened species in a destabilizing climate as an "agenda" serving only negligible "special interests". Therefore expect such regulations will be dropped (or not enforced) in order to save us humans. This is only a  short-term solution to our future to the problem of the destabilization of the climate on our planet-Earth. Our masters in the ruling capitalist already know this, but their inherent drive to sustain profits will only accelerate their population reduction agenda known as the Great Reset in order to save themselves and their "beautiful" system of capitalism. The system depends on ever expanding growth on a planet that has finite resources. Something will have to give way. I look for more trouble in our future.
  • Explained: Quintero and Wiens 2013 featuring Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist (via his YouTube channel--04:36m) and has fearlessly focused on the climate crisis, examining a research study regarding the adaptability of species to adjust to abrupt climate changes. (Note: This is a key question for our human species: can we adapt to rather dramatic changes in climate that McPherson foresees?)
