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 Wednesday, March 30, 2022

  • Ukraine: How and Why the War Was Fabricated by Atilio Boron from Internationalist 360°. My reaction: Referring to a Rand publication, which he summarizes but is no longer available to the American public, the author writes:
Conclusion: as we said before this document was released and as we reaffirm even more forcefully, Ukraine is a war immorally provoked by the United States and its European allies. Without paying attention to the terrible human costs of the war, which the Western powers are now crying crocodile tears over, they closed all options to Russia, which at one point even proposed to start talks to join NATO, an attitude that did not arouse in the very democratic and humanist Western powers the slightest intention of even starting to talk about the issue. 
  • British Bullshit Corporation Whitewashes Ukrainian Nazis by Finian Cunningham from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: Once again, I find myself declaring that the mainstream media is only regarded by the Empire's Deep State (ruling transnational capitalist class) as another weapon to control what ordinary populations, under their control, think about major events. Our ruling masters are all about control because they fear us. The control of our minds is necessarily on their agenda in order to sustain a system (capitalism) that has given them so much wealth and power.
US President Joe Biden said from the rostrum of the European Community in Brussels that his [NATO] alliance “will respond if Russian President Vladimir Putin uses chemical weapons in Ukraine.” This statement is considered one of the most dangerous US issues since the Cuba crisis in 1962 due to its repercussions on the war on Ukraine, the possibility of its expansion outside the borders, and what the future holds for Europe and the world.
 
False-flag operations like the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire carried out in Syria? Haven't these incidents been successfully carried out to influence liberal (pro-capitalist) views held in the USA and the populations under the control of the Empire?
  • Antarctica on Edge by Robert Hunziker from Dissident Voice. My reaction: Climate destabilization threatens all life on Earth, and that is the reason that our ruling masters in the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire are speeding up their control of the world. This is necessary against their rivals (Russia, China, Iran, etc.) before preparing to implement their one solution to the impending threat of destabilization of the climate--depopulation. They will implement a depopulation of the Earth by any means necessary ("vaccines", wars, and the Nazi-authoritarian form of advanced capitalism--issuing mandates, arbitrary decisions such as digital health passports, digital money that they control--to save the transnational ruling capitalist classes (the rich and powerful).
