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 Thursday, November 18, 2021

Operation Coronavirus has shown how mass hypnosis can be inculcated into entire populations, around the world. We are now 20 months into “2 weeks to flatten the curve” and there are still many people hopelessly lost in the official narrative. The NWO (New World Order) controllers know that narrative is everything. To control the information and to control the way people interpret that information is the absolute power to control perception.
A bill to create the panel was introduced on November 4 by four senators: Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Kirsten Gillibrand and Republicans Roger Marshall and Joni Ernst. The commission would consist of 10 members, five Democrats and five Republicans.

Explaining the themes of the commission, the Post wrote, “One vital area of inquiry is public health systems, which were overwhelmed during the pandemic.
Strategic Culture Foundation’s editorial production is based in Russia and the journal has been publishing articles by international authors for over a decade. The online journal has gained respect and readership primarily in North America for its critical and diverse coverage of geopolitics. It seems that the official move to ban SCF by the U.S. government is really aimed at shutting down independent journalism and critical thinking under the cynical guise of combating a “foreign enemy”. This has baleful echoes with the Red Scare Cold War years in the U.S.

By banning American voices from the journal, Washington is attempting to bolster its smear against SCF as being a sinister intelligence agency. But the real objective is to criminalize critical journalism and indeed any form of critical dissent.
 
I refuse to obey this ban.
  • John McEvoy Exposes Britain’s Role in Suppressing Democracy at Home and Abroad features an interview, in visual and audio versions, conducted by "Lowkey" of Mint Press News with McEvoy, an investigative journalist. (Note: McEvoy, judging by his accent, is obviously Scottish.) My reaction: McEvoy has encyclopedia information, much like Whitney Webb, about the British ruling class efforts to suppress left-wing news and self-serving political actions from entering mainstream media and also about British efforts to participate with the US ruling class to attack Venezuela in any way short of an actual invasion. McEvoy's information illustrates how the British capitalist ruling class coordinates efforts with secretive US "intelligence" agencies to suppress any threats to capitalist rule. 
  • TYT sides w/Rittenhouse! Agrees It Was Self-Defense! featuring Jimmy Dore, using his channel on YouTube (1:03:24). My reaction: Dore uses videos put together that pose a startling different version from corporate media. The latter's coverage is consistent with fake stories presented in their media of other political events in domestic and foreign lands. This clip illustrates how the public is lied to by corporate media that uses the "woke" ideas as a weapon that once again serves to fool the American people. This clip is also an illustration of why you should not listen/view events reported by the self-serving corporate media.
  • JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass | The Cinephile with Michael McCaffrey featuring McCaffrey as he reviews the latest assassination film of JFK from RT's channel on YouTube (05:44). My reaction: The promotion of this film is a doomed effort because after the event in 1963, the public was sound asleep and others were filled with fear about the Russian menace due to propaganda that said so. The time to do something about this event was then, not now with so many problems that ordinary people are trying to deal with.
  • Using the Climate Crisis: Whitney Webb Discusses Global Elites’ Takeover of Nature featuring Webb, in an interview (33:28) conducted by Mnar Adley, explaining what was really going on at the recent COP 26--from Mint Press News. (Note: This interview is brought to you in visual and audio versions.) My reaction: This COP 26 is where billionaires and their managers recently gathered in Glasgow, Scotland to privatize ecological services to obtain more wealth and power in the world. It was a meeting of major capitalists and their managers who made plans to benefit themselves and not the population of the world.
