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 Monday, December 6, 2021

  • American Pravda: Vaxxing, Anthony Fauci, and AIDS by Ron Unz from his website The Unz Review. My reaction: Although I've posted interviews of Robert Kennedy's book, this is the first review of Kennedy's book that I've encountered, but there will be several more. This review by an old-fashioned capitalist, who presents himself as a true believer of many of the suspected deceptions of the capitalist ruling class, is now beginning to question what corporate media are saying about the covid pandemic. This is a good omen that this book will awaken the American people to the vast lies they have told throughout their lives.
One of the recent roles of the Parliamentary Healthcare Committee has been to reassure the British public that any claims regarding the ‘Americanization’ of the National Health Service (NHS) were wildly overstated, “creating a climate that risks blocking the joining up of services in the interests of patients.”

In fact, the penetration of the healthcare system by the giant U.S. insurer UnitedHealth reveals the opposite to be true, with the full extent of its influence capable of surprising even seasoned NHS watchers.
This post should ideally be read in conjunction with earlier posts that explain that excessive wealth is extracted by controlling an industry, receiving many types of unearned income (known as rent-seeking) and all manner of unethical, fraudulent or criminal activity. Excessive wealth is a symptom of an economic system that drains wealth from everybody else, because the biggest companies have enough power to exploit employees, suppliers, customers, governments and the environment. These people have not ‘earned’ their wealth. They became rich because they understand how the system is rigged.
  • 💥The “Great Reset” and the UN Resolution Prohibiting the “Glorification of Nazism” by Carla Stea from Internationalist 360°. This is a best post.
The now neo-fascist vaccine mandate forced upon citizens of the US and other nations, including the UN itself, the violation of the Nuremberg Code and numerous UN Resolutions protecting human rights, especially the right to bodily autonomy, indicate an ominous global trend toward totalitarianism which must be opposed by all necessary means.  Otherwise, Hitler’s diabolic agenda will become a global reality.

“The Great Reset” (with its “transhumans”) is an expanded, updated disguised version, of “Mein Kampf,” eugenics masquerading as “public health.”  A new cult has arisen with a tragically gullible mass of deceived people following the cult leader, who arrogantly and falsely claims to “represent science.” 
  • In That Final Moment [a poem] by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading this poem (which I recommend)--from her weblog. 
The emergence of a multipolar world is anathema to Washington’s dictate for unipolar hegemony (or what it cynically calls “rules-based order”). The ascendant reality of China as an alternative economic power and the shift in the global economy towards Eurasian integration is unbearable for the U.S. zero-sum view of its imperial demands.

In polarizing international relations, Washington can exert control over “allies and partners” (in reality, vassals and lackeys) by dictating the economic policy of nations – the euphemistically named “Washington Consensus” – that is designed so as to always benefit U.S. capital. Even supposedly stronger Western states like those of the European Union are effectively under Washington’s economic tutelage.
  • Sunday~Civil Rights-? by John Allen from his weblog on Medium. (Note: From direct communication with Allen, I've learned that he is plagued by significant medical problems and he is unable to pay the rent this month.)
  • Two Fake Stories about the DPRK in November 2021 by Konstantin Asmolov from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Another report of how propaganda is used to deceive the people of the world for the benefit of the transnational capitalist ruling class and their US/British/Zionist Empire. DPRK, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, has a different economic system that won't allow capitalism, the private ownership of the economy that only benefits the owners, to interfere with their lives in the northern part of Korea. For the directors of the Empire, this is a fundamental crime.
In general, we would like to remind you once again that Radio Free Asia is a foreign agent. It was created as a propaganda radio to fight against communism and remains such, which is why fake news makes up a significant percentage of its content.
