Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Posts that I especially recommend for Saturday, July 31, 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.

Craig Murray’s jailing is the national security state’s latest assault on independent journalism by Jonathan Cook from The Grayzone. My reaction: Just as the transnational capitalist ruling class of their de-facto US/Anglo/Zionist Empire creates Covid fear in the minds of their subjects, they also terrorize journalists who report the truth.
