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, March 28, 2022

3-27-2022 update: I have not succeeded in reducing my time on my weblog mainly because of the war in Ukraine. I regard this war as a "mother" of all battles to sustain the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire in their struggle to prevent the integration of the European economies with Russia. To the directors of Empire, this was intolerable and would result in alienating European governments, which they have carefully nourished and subverted, into the protection of the Empire. This became a major threat to the Empire as the completion of the Nordstream 2 pipeline drew near and its likely approval by the German government. 

Early in 2022 this "mother" of all battles in Ukraine began, which was engineered by the Empire, to topple the ruling regime in Russia by their steady encroachment of NATO bases next to Russia and especially the Empire's support of the Nazi regime in Ukraine. The Russian public is terrified of the Nazis which wrecked so havoc on their nation in WWII. The directors of the Empire knew that this Nazi regime would be a dire threat to Russia that would provoke a Russian invasion of Ukraine. This would, in turn, cause to frighten European leaders and their populations that they needed NATO to protect them from the Russians, and its end result: to prevent Europeans from integrating their economies with Russia. Should this not happen, this would constitute a turning point in the growth of the Empire and their goal to rule the world. (Read my articles here and here, and this has been recently confirmed (confessed) by a Columbia U. professor in his book Tomorrow the World.)

Since the Summer of 1918, I experimented with occasional "Recommended" articles, but I continued this practice entirely in late December of 2019. I don't recall when I started with my essays. (In late 2009 I began my website with a list of articles that shed some light on current problems experienced in a capitalist nation such as the USA.)

In short, I cannot keep this pace. In the future, I have decided to revert to my previous format to write occasional essays interspersed with a list of article recommendations. It may not be a full list because in the past I often have been perusing them every morning. And I will be focusing more on the war in Ukraine because I suspect this outcome will determine all others affecting the imperialist dominance of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.

The American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, once said: “Nothing happens accidentally in politics, and when something happens, you can bet on it that it was exactly planned that way.”

When one looks at what happened in the last year and a half, then these words are especially alarming.

Can it really be the case, that everything that we’ve experienced was planned?
  • Now It Makes Sense features Russell Brand, a British comedian and former drug addict turned serious political critic--from his channel on YouTube (16:15).
  • The Covexit.com Podcast featuring a podcast, and participating in this discussion are Dr. Peter McCullough & Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, both are international experts regarding Covid-19, from Covexit.
  • 💥Ukraine War! What Is It Good For? The Nazi Agenda (part 3 of ?) by Iain Davis from Off-Guardian. My reaction: I am assigning this lengthy post a "best post" because of its astute, comprehensive history of the threat Ukraine poses for Russia and backed up by evidence. But without the support of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire, the threat that the Nazis posed would have amounted to nothing. I do not agree with everything he has written. But not all of you will be interested to read it, particularly those who have followed this weblog for some time.
The fate of the world order is being decided in Ukraine. This is not a local conflict between two powers that have not divided something between them. It is a fundamental watershed in history.

There is common practice to separate the interests and the values. Interests are connected with the political and geopolitical balance of power, values – with civilizational ideals. There are no military conflicts that have not had both dimensions – the issue of value and the pragmatic goals. In the case of Ukraine, both – interests and values — are global in nature and affect everyone on the globe directly. This is not a local incident.
  • Re-Visiting Russiagate In Light Of The Ukraine War by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading the script (07:39) in the audio section of her article, but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog.
  • Biden’s new “forever war” by Andre Damon from World Socialist Web Site. My reaction: This post illustrates the importance of the NATO-engineered war in Ukraine to the transnational capitalist ruling governing the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire. Biden is only an employee of the US's capitalist ruling class, a subpart of the Empire.
... let’s face it– when the media lies relentlessly for 4 years about “Russian collusion” followed by another 2 years of “Everyone’s going to die from the flu” [a highly accelerated form of contagion ("gain of function") of flu=Covid-19] ; any critical thinking person is going to look for other sources of information, right? It’s a credibility issue, and, regrettably, “credibility” is a term that is never applied to the mainstream media. 
  • Russian Operations in Ukraine: Week 5 Update features Brian Berletic, an independent ex-Marine who currently resides in Thailand, bringing us up-to-date regarding the war in Ukraine, reviewing Russia's military strategies in Syria, and the absurdity of Empire propaganda--from his channel (The New Atlas) on Rumble (28:57). 
  • Springtime for GloboCap by C. J. Hopkins, a satirist comedian returns to comedic satire while living in Berlin, from his weblog Consent Factory, Inc.
  • Isa Blumi: Yemen Is Holding Its Own Against The Empire features a guest, Blumi, who brings us up-to-date regarding the war in Yemen--from the channel of Geopolitics & Empire on Odysee (about 1 hour). My reaction: Another report in a war backed by the same de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.
  • 💥Science Snippets: "The Newsroom" Commentary features the views and analysis of Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist (via his YouTube channel--09:37), who has fearlessly focused his attention throughout much of his prior career and retirement on the climate crisis. (Note: Do not be distracted by the change of videos at the end of McPherson's YouTube video.) My reaction: If the Empire would let go of its goal to dominate the world, we could see the world's governments all cooperating in an attempt to stop climate destabilization and human extinction.
