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 and Sunday, July 24 & 25, 2021

  • InfoWars Steals/Alters TLAV Content, EUA & The Pandemic Of The Vaccinated featuring Ryan Cristián from The Last American Vagabond (video and audio are provided--approx. a little over an hour) mostly ranting about the alternation of his content and ascribed to other dubious websites--and then being banned. My reaction: This type of censorship is only to be expected of the "security" agents of the Deep State, an informal board of directors of the ruling capitalist class.
This dovetails nicely with my arguments that the US capitalist ruling class had profound sympathies with the German capitalist Nazis (the name for their party was literally "National Socialist German Workers Party" which was a typical capitalist lie) and their plans to go east and crush the Soviet Union. (See here and here.) As a propaganda weapon, the goy (def.) prejudice against Jews was resurrected and given capitalist energy following the Russian Revolution of 1917, in which the leaders were mostly Jewish. This revolution led to the first attempt to establish socialism in Russia as the Soviet Union. 
 
This event provoked various attempts by capitalist nations to remove this scar from world capitalism (see this, this, and this). This is typical as revealed in history with the attempts by US/Anglo/Zionist Empire to crush revolutions in Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua, Bolivia, etc., and to crush quasi-socialist governments wherever they existed. It seems that good examples of a socialist government severely threatens billionaire capitalists.
To be sure, most Americans know nothing about the real history of Japan and South Korea relations. This post will not make up for this deficit, but hopefully it will make a dent. Korea was an exploitative colony (is there any other kind?) of Japan, which tried to emulate Western capitalist nations for most of the first half of the 20th century. This has left a bitter taste in Koreans and well as old habits and memories of Japanese regarding their dominance of Korea and their residual colonial attitudes toward Koreans.
 
But this history didn't stop US aggressors after WWII--they simply replaced US dominance for Japanese dominance, and often used Japanese authorities to help them impose a US dominance and alliance in their new Cold War with the Soviet Union. Because the Korans of the north bitterly opposed US interference, the USA finally end up dividing Korea into two parts. (I recommend that you catch up on this history by reading at least the first of two volumes of books written by Bruce Cumings entitled The Origins of the Korean War regarding this history.)
