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, December 24, 2021

This is a common practice in all industries and those government agencies that try to regulate corporations. It is another indication that banks and corporations have control of our government to serve their interests and not to serve the interests of the public. Their interest is control and the eventual control/domination over all of the world as I explained here.
 
The public, like Dore, is only now becoming aware of this longtime practice. It is an obsession by the public to trust the news reporting of corporate media and trusting government institutions to look after the best interests of the public that is the major problem. 
 
We must get rid of capitalist, self-serving control of the USA and the world dominance of their US/British/Zionist Empire that currently threatens the whole human species with a catastrophic nuclear war. This process applies to all social institutions. If you go along with this rewarding process as most educated people do, you will be assured a lucrative career, supportive family, a fancy home, etc. (Educated people can make it possible for the capitalist ruling class to enjoy profits.) This is the secret of their success, but it will lead to the extinction of humans and most other species.
 
In addition to their unconcern about other people, there is a concern about the growing signs of the destabilization of the climate. Therefore, de-population is on their agenda. 
  • VIP | Assange: Journalism on Trial features Naomi Karavani interviewing Mohamed Elmaazi, a UK-based freelance journalist, about the details of the prosecution and especially the persecution by the Empire of journalist Julian Assange--from Redacted Tonight's channel on YouTube (28:02). My reaction: This is an excellent summary of the persecution of Assange. Unlike other career journalists, Assange exposed serious crimes by the Empire.
