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, February 21, 2022

  • 💥The Eager Willingness Of Government To Murder Its Own Is The Embodiment Of Evil by Gary D. Barnett from EarthNewspaper. This is a best post. My reaction: In my opinion, yes, Covid-19 is real after the Empire's ruling class invented and spread it around to Wuhan, China and Iran, but it in no way justified a "pandemic" that was declared by the corrupted World Health Organization. The ruling class of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire has had an entire boatload of tricks to support the fear of the declared "pandemic". However, that is not to say that these new mRNA "vaccinations" won't eventually kill a large percentage of people who get them--only time will tell. So far the data shows that they come at a high risk. I would not trust media corporations and Big Pharma because they are servants of the self-serving ruling class of finance and substantial owners of major corporations.
Lest we forget, it is not a fake or mysterious disease or ‘virus’ that is responsible for the unnecessary death and destruction that has befallen mankind, it is the deliberate elimination of those thought to be undesirables by the controlling class of monsters and their pawns in government. This is not ‘conspiracy theory,’ as espoused by the powerful and their media, it is an actual conspiracy.
Roman Vega, Global Coordinator of People’s Health Movement, talks to Peoples Dispatch about the achievements and the challenges faced by the movement in 2021, the path ahead and major priorities. He points out that the difficulties in accessing comprehensive healthcare are caused by an approach linked to the concept of health business developed through neoliberal policies which also hinders strategies for health promotion and disease prevention. He also adds that in order to realize the changes we wish to achieve, we must bring people of different regions and countries together through mobilizations and struggles.
  • European Union prefers corporate profits over the health of people across the world by Abdul Rahman from Peoples Dispatch. My reaction: The European Union is made of capitalist nations--the US and what was left of the British Empire after WWII that determined what was Europe (under their control) was shaped by capitalism, so why the headline? Capitalism is all about profits and power and the concentration of those factors under the control of a ruling class. In 1991 after the self-serving bureaucratically controlled system in the Soviet Union disintegrated in Russia, the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire gradually took over eastern Europe with the result that they, too, have capitalist economies. Russia has a mixed economy (capitalist enterprises and what was left of a government-controlled "socialist" enterprises. The Empire tolerates no independent nations, and Russia (and China) refuses to be controlled by the self-serving Empire. In addition, they have a residue of "socialist" enterprises. The reason I put socialism in quotes is because they are not controlled by the people, but by the government, a government that has policies for the general benefit of the nation. Generally this applies to China with minor deviations.
  • Neurorights and Neuromarkets by Whitney Webb from Vimeo. (Note: This is a short video post (01:20) from a longer one that lies behind a paywall that is used to fund articles/videos by Webb.) 
Yes, it’s an odd title. Let’s turn to Merriam-Webster for definitions. “Salt of the Earth:” — “a very good and honest person or group of people,” and “foot soldiers:” — “a person likened to an infantryman especially in doing active and usually unglamorous work in support of an organization or movement.” I have several synonyms for foot soldiers: functionaries, lackeys, toadies, water carriers, and courtiers. Whatever we name them, they have in common doing the biding of people in power, or the power elite.
 
My reaction: The "Salt of the Earth and Foot Soldiers" after many decades of propaganda and indoctrination are well prepared for their role as servants to the powerful ruling class.  
  • The Democracy Illusion by Gary M. Galles from American Institute for Economic Research. My reaction: As known by longtime readers of my weblog, I see most societies or nations separated into socioeconomic classes where there is a ruling class that controls all institutions including the government. Otherwise, I agree with Galles.
In a subsequent column, on January 28, 2021, Strategic Culture Foundation highlighted how the Biden administration would ramp up efforts to sabotage the Nord Stream 2 gas project between Russia and the European Union. This unspoken objective has come to a head in the present crisis over Ukraine. It is driving the geopolitical dynamics behind the conflict between the U.S. and Russia, as explained in a later SCF article published on June 8, 2021, – some five months before the crisis erupted in Western media coverage.
  • Cory Morningstar: This is a Complete Descent Into Global Fascism featuring Morningstar in an interview conducted by an unnamed interviewer from the channel of Geopolitics & Empire on Odysee (47:58). (Note: I could understand about 2/3 of what Morningstar said, and she appeared to be depressed by what she has witnessed in Canada.
Cory Morningstar gives us a report from the front lines of the Great Reset in Canada. Everything the media says is a lie and you can forget about the whole left-right paradigm, this is a global class war and descent into fascism. Covid has been a huge catalyst and cover to unroll this huge reset of the global economic system, a project of Prince Charles. The British Commonwealth has just partnered with WHO to vaccinate the entire planet by July 2022 and is working with the World Bank in a huge campaign to get Digital Identity to everyone by 2030. The vaccine is a portal to the Digital ID. We're going into global governance and the Digital ID is the umbilical cord to the Smart City. The conduit to the 4IR is your smartphone, for now. The eugenicist aspect of the program is simply a business decision (e.g. pension crisis). What you can access will be dependent on your level of compliance. Freedom, health, and your immune system will become a service or subscription. 
 
My reaction: I found two things in which I disagreed with Morningstar: 1) She targets the "British Commonwealth" as the seat of all evil, but I, on the other hand, target the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire (see this and read this). 2) She seems to think that Russia and China are a part of this Reset plan--I emphatically disagree. But I thoroughly agree with Morningstar that the directors of the Empire are trying, and largely succeeding, to instill in their compliant populations a sense of "entitlement" by attempting to induce the compliant members of these nations an attitude that they are better than the "deplorables".
  • Kamila Valieva – the World’s Ice Angel by Larry Romanoff from The Unz Review. My reaction: The author supplies over-long evidence that the International Olympics Committee is as Romanoff argues--riven (def.) by the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire's political uses:
There are a few muted voices on the other side. Johannes Herber, the managing director of Athletes Germany, makes clear that “These Olympic Games are more political than any before. ....

The reason the sports authorities will be deaf to all criticism is that they are not doing their jobs badly; they are performing perfectly according to their real agenda – which could be briefly summarised as “Bring as much embarrassment, financial loss, humiliation, pain, to both China and Russia. The Olympics are merely one cannon in their arsenal. This is the cause of the “investigations” by WADA, USADA, and the IOC, into Kamila, Kamila’s entire ‘entourage’, the ROC and much more. If there is any way they can use US laws to “sanction” Kamila and many others, they will do it, and things would not have progressed to this late stage without a plan that is likely foolproof.
