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 Tuesday, December 21, 2021

Just last week newly released emails showed Dr. Anthony Fauci and his boss at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) wanted to conduct a “quick and devastating” take-down of renowned scientists and infectious disease experts who proposed a lockdown-free COVID control strategy. Ridicule was one of the strategies, using health regulatory agencies and mainstream media which are at the disposal of these powerful people.

The British Medical Journal recently criticized Facebook “fact-checkers” for their “incompetent” work and censoring of legit information pertaining to COVID vaccine clinical trials.

Renowned viral immunologists, epidemiologists, editors of prestigious medical journals and more have, during this pandemic, been labelled as “anti vaccine conspiracy theorists.”

In this piece Klein refers to the Kennedy crowd as "Washington Royalty", but he goes on to the critical subject:
 
While Ottawa waits for instructions, the question now burning through the American establishment must be: “How do we marginalize a Kennedy?”

Depending how long they survive, other dissenters undergo a transition of being ignored, ridiculed, slandered, censored, demonized, harassed, fired and criminalized. Or worse—although that might not happen in this case to avoid the martyrdom bestowed on his father and uncle. 
 
Klein immediately follows this rather oblique reference to the assassinations of the Kennedys with a reference to the number (17) of African leaders recently assassinated while in office. Obviously, the Deep State has no moral qualms about assassinating this Kennedy, but they only worry about how this will affect us. Klein ends his analysis with a critical remark about Robert Kennedy Jr. not being concerned about the cultural distractions that the Deep State has developed to further divide and distract Americans south of their border--the "woke" and Critical Race Theory culture.
 
I think that this post serves to dodge the more important question: if the Deep State, consisting mostly of financiers, billionaire tycoons, and their self-serving supporters, don't figure out how to silence or marginalize Kennedy and the challenges posed by dissenters, what will happen? This is the crucial question. Kennedy with his book has thrown down the challenge to their rule. The fake cultures that Klein mentions at the end are largely a smokescreen behind which the capitalist Deep State works their magic. 
 
I believe the Deep State is desperate enough to arrange an accident which appears to kill this Kennedy. Then what will the Kennedy crowd and the dissenters do? Are we prepared to challenge the Deep State which has steadily pursued world hegemony since WWII?  Or once again, be cowed by our worship of government authorities who serve the ruling capitalist class? There are so many threats to the continuation of humans like the growing awareness of abrupt climate destabilization and the dangerous, desperate launching of aggression toward China, Russia, and Iran. Most Americans are fast asleep to these dangers. These are dangerous times we Americans and the people of the world are living in!

  • Here I Talk A Little Bit About Timing. Or, as expressed in Andre Raevsky's (The Saker's) weblog, "The Timing of Russia’s Ultimatum to NATO". By Andrei Martyanov (highly recommended by Pepe Escobar) from his weblog Reminiscence of the Future.... My reaction: I, of course, used the "CC" button to read the machine-generated subscript. This is what I understood him to say. In this visual/audio weblog, Martyanov declares that Russia is powerful enough (militarily, economically, etc.) to ignore Europe, and has aligned itself with all kinds of relations with Asia. He goes on to say that the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire is propagandizing its own people, which is no concern of theirs so long as they respect Russia's might. And that is why Russia has recently declared the ultimatums.
