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 Saturday, March 19, 2022

  • I was sent two crucial interviews that were just sent to me by a west coast activist who has urged me to listen to them. They are interviews with Dr. Robert Malone, an inventor of the key part of mRNA "vaccines", who is often critical of "vaccines" and the policies of the "pandemic". He has been de-platformed by various social media. (I have not listened to it--yet.) Part 1 of this interview is here (1:36:04) Part 2 on this interview is here (1:26:42 because it starts at 26 minutes). Dr. Malone has been coming under severe pressure and he has succumbed to this pressure (many medical physicians have lost their licenses to practice as a result of their speaking out). Thus, he has served notice to all his followers as follows:
... I will still be writing my daily articles that I started 25 years ago BUT they will only be available for 48 hours before they are removed. In this way I hope to continue my mission to help you take control of your health – but it's up to you to download, share and repost this content.

  • Media Lies and Scientific Malevolence by Chris Martenson, PhD from his weblog PeakProsperity. (Note: The text serves as an introduction to the video and audio versions following the text of what he reports about the subject.)
  • It’s Not Okay For Grown Adults To Think This Way About Ukraine by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading the script (05:33), but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog. My reaction: Unfortunately, it is so easy to manipulate most people using highly trained careerists protecting the future of their families. The latter careerists have been duped into thinking that they are only following the principles of Margaret Thatcher who said that "... there is no such thing as society, there is only individuals and their families.". They chose the easy immoral path: to serve the rich and powerful who make up the self-serving ruling class. 
  • 💥A History of NATO and Nazis, with Asa Winstanley by Lowkey, a former hip-hop artist and academic in Britain, and featuring himself and Winstanley, Lowkey's favorite journalist, in a video (56:39)--from Mint Press News. This is a best post. (Note: The text of this post is separate from the video and audio versions.) My reaction: It is perfectly logical why and how the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine are supported by the transnational capitalist ruling classes in the fascist Empire--the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire. The well-paid agents of the Empire have mostly used slickly designed propaganda and infiltration of capitalist media in place of the brutal methods of the German Nazi Empire in their quest to rule the world.
I am posting this piece by an author that in the past I've often posted his articles in order to shed light on southeast Asia. This time I mean to criticize this post. 
 
He frequently writes about posts pointing to the Neo-Nazis that have taken over Ukraine, but now he complains about the nations that make up the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire having too much control of international media. One cannot have it both ways. The discrepancy he displays can be attributed to "cherry-picking". 
 
The posts of his illustrating the mention of the former (the Neo-Nazi infestation of Ukraine) are exceptions in the vast news which ignored this phenomenon. I don't think that here in the USA coverage of this Nazi proclivity regarding Ukraine has been significantly different than anywhere else in the world. To be sure, there were exceptions to the Empire's media coverage, and he points them out, but these were only mild references to the Neo-Nazi phenomenon in Ukraine, and most consumers of information simply passed up such articles in favor of articles of immediate interest. Most coverage of events in Ukraine were ignored by the Empire's media or they were very superficial. Thus, the Neo-Nazi coverage slept under the radar of most of the people of the world. And, now the coverage is all about how Ukraine is being invaded by Russia for no apparent reason other than Russia is a threat to the whole of Europe in order to keep Europe from integrating their economies with Russia--a prime reason for the subversion of Ukraine by the fascist forces of the Empire.

The past exceptional coverage of the events in Ukraine was in order to establish the impression that the Empire's media were credible, a common practice of theirs.
