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 24, 2022

  • Part 1: Children Vaccination an interview with Geert Vanden Bossche, a DMV, PhD, world- renowned independent virologist and vaccine expert, formerly employed at GAVI and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation--from his website Voice for Science and Solidarity.  
  • Defeat the Mandates March on D.C.: The Tide is Turning by Stewart from PeakProsperity. My reaction, one: I doubt this good news because in southern Minnesota where I live, people believe everything they hear broadcast on media corporations. The gullibility of people is absolutely astounding! Reaction, two: Notice the thin line and a thick line under the title of this post. My theory is that the tech "powers that be" must be indicating disapproval for what's above the thin line.
  • Skinned Alive by Karen Hunt from her weblog on Substack. (Note: This is a rather lengthy post, but a thought-provoking with our future determined by the control-freaks, the capitalist ruling class.)
If along the way we are being enticed into a prison, assured that it is for our own health and safety; that it will protect us from a dangerous outside world, well, why not comply? No one really believes that they are actually going to be harvested or eliminated. That sounds too crazy.

But if Covid has taught us anything it’s that fascism is still very much alive and well and living in a neighborhood near you.

If anyone is going to be harvested or eliminated it sure isn’t going to be me. I am a good citizen. It will be that unvaccinated sinner over there. 
  • Acceptance of and Commitment To Freedom by Iain from In This Together. My reaction: I wish I could believe this, but I only have contact with thoroughly brainwashed people who are "infected" with the fear that media corporations broadcast.
  • The CIA’s War On Democracy featuring a conversation with Edward Curtin and Bobby Kennedy from Children's Health Defense's channel on Odysee (47:14),
  • Russia will intervene in Ukraine by geopolitical analyst M. K. Bhadrakumar from his weblog Indian Punchline, based in India. My reaction: In contrast to Bernhard and his weblog Moon of Alabama, Bhadrakumar looks at the prospects of a peaceful settlement to Russia's insecurity problem with foreboding. This should be an opportune time for the imperial crazies of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire to test Russia's intentions with the American people obsessed with the coronavirus and totally ignorant of geopolitics.
