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, January 3, 2022

  • 💥A New Strategy to save Capitalism from Itself: The Great Reset, has been announced by the increasingly fascist and desperate, neoliberal directors of the US/British/Zionist Empire by Ron Horn for Surviving Capitalism (not). This is a best post because anything I write extensively qualifies as a best post so that my followers can get a "reading" on my positions.
The signs of the climate crisis can no longer be denied by the self-serving directors of the Empire. The signs: wildfires, the destabilization of the climate with extreme weather, the accelerating melting of the glaciers in the arctic and subarctic regions of our planet can no longer be ignored by our masters in the ruling class, and they have acted accordingly to save themselves while pursuing their concentration of wealth and power. However, it is too late. They have dawdled being distracted by their quest for unilateral dominance, control and wealth concentration into their hands with the result that it is now too late to save the planet. 
 
In recent years we have seen their frantic efforts to save themselves by venturing into outer space to discover new hospitable planets and other opportunities to accumulate more power and wealth. We have also witnessed other frantic efforts reflected in the Great Reset to meet only one of the various crises of capitalism. One wonders if the suspicious covid pandemic isn't one of their desperate solutions to reduce the Earth's population. It is obvious that they have prospered during this pandemic while the lower classes have suffered from the loss of employment and businesses. 
 
The propaganda organs of media corporations have been trying to sell us on the positive prospects of this Great Reset that thinly disguises their motives by a campaign which promises that we will own nothing, but remain happy mainly because of the technological fantasies that high-tech corporations promise. The reality behind this propaganda campaign is further impoverishment in terms of the standard of living of the sub-classes they rule over which will result in the decline of their populations, and this is precisely their intention.
 
While this is going on, independent medical scientists are pointing to the disturbing defects with which the ruling capitalist medical institutions are dealing with the pandemic. There are growing signs that their methods are prolonging the pandemic and creating new variants of this disease. 
 
There are also disturbing signs that their use of authoritarian mandates to cope with this pandemic are creating fascism which is endemic to capitalism and which are the preference by their directors. Who needs democracy and free of speech, when you can rule by mandates?! The directors of this capitalist empire are always looking for new methods of control over their populations, and these mandates are offering new, promising means of this control while causing the reduction of workers and people engaged in small businesses. But they can't resist enriching themselves while the pandemic is going on to urge the rest of the population to get vaccinated. This health campaign is a perfect cover for their project to reduce populations while providing new opportunities for profit-making.
 
Independent scientists like retired Guy McPherson are pointing out that it is too late to save the planet unless they make a last-ditch effort at installing mirrors world-wide to reflect the sun's rays. This is method is highly unlikely given to the proclivities of capitalists. Such highly qualified scientists are being suppressed with their careers blocked if they are working in corporations and other institutions which capitalists control. It is no wonder that relatively few are critically speaking out against the existing policies of the Deep State.
 
This suppression of dissent is also true of highly qualified medical specialists who have been long critical of these methods (and new ones) in the past year like Geert Vanden Bossche and Dr. Robert Malone, and lessor known medical physicians (which suffer threats to their license to practice). They are being censored, suppressed, and ignored. Meanwhile, media corporations are continuing their fear campaigns and urging the American people to take their vaccines despite the high number of injuries and deaths they are causing, hospitals are continuing to be rewarded with increase government payments if they report covid cases. Critics like Robert Kennedy, Jr., who has exposed Anthony Fauci that the criminal he is, have long joined the battle against these methods and their proponents. But the ruling class who have control of all institutions have so far been successful in suppressing these dissenting voices.
 
Our overlords in the ruling class are also engaged hyperactively in aggressive actions against their old foes China, Russia, and Iran. These actions look like a last desperate attempt to save their system of capitalism and to salvage what they can of the US/British/Zionist Empire. But their aggressive actions threaten a horrendous conflagration of a nuclear war.
 
I look forward with much trepidation to the new year's calamities that are sure to follow. I hope I am wrong. If we make it through the new year without things getting dramatically worse, it will be a miracle.
  • Andrei Martyanov: It's Game Over for the West from Geopolitics & Empire. (Note: Because of Martyanov's thick accent and his rapid speech, I had a very difficult time, in my old ears, understanding his comments. I will instead order his book Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse to understand his views.)
  • Are There Limits to Growth? by James Corbett from his weblog. (Note: I recommend that you limit this post is only 23:30 of the entire post of 1:41:39. This post is only a bad example of "critical thinking" of someone who poses as an anarchist that has numerous followers.) My brief commentary follows: 
Corbett in this post lampoons (at one point he laughs out loud) the early forecasts during the early 1970s in which the transnational capitalist class was sufficiently concerned about the future to hire MIT to project into the future how the Earth would tolerate the ever-burdening population growth that the capitalist system promoted. Apparently Corbett, in contrast to climate scientists, is unconcerned about the continuing rise in global average temperatures, wildfires, extreme weather, the melting of the glaciers and the ice covering the Arctic Ocean. 
 
If my memory serves me correctly, Corbett is an anti-authoritarian, extreme individual-oriented anarchist which places him on the right-wing of anarchism. He is comfortable with the early stages of capitalism before it became the grownup monster that is controlling our lives. 
 
And, I think (although I cannot yet prove it) that this is a pandemic engineered by the ruling class to solve this over-population that their profit-making, pharmaceutical corporations are called on to solve. The ruling class consists of mostly financiers and large investors, and it is perfectly understandable to maintain their power and control that they will reward their corporations with abundant profits to carry out this project of population reduction via a pandemic and their mostly useless, and sometimes dangerous, vaccinations. It is also understandable that they will use governments, controlled by them, to issue mandates to further enhance these efforts.
