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 5, 2022

  • Biden Claims Gun Makers Only Industry That Can’t Be Sued, Fails to Mention Blanket Liability for COVID Vaccine Makers by Megan Redshaw from Children's Health Defense. My reaction: This glaring mistake by President Biden points to an insight how capitalists use weapons as a defense against any opponents regardless if it against entire nations (it is well-known that the US has supplied many weapons to their allies) or against ordinary people. Weapons, of course, pose the threat of ending individual lives, and there is no threat that is greater than this to motivate ordinary people to comply with the wishes of their oppressors in the ruling class who have abundant and powerful weapons. That is why the ruling class ensures the control of police forces and military forces. The fact that drug manufacturing corporations that are included in Big Pharma is also revealing: the capitalist ruling class own these corporations.
  • The hysterical anti-Russian campaign and the US-NATO drive to war with Russia by Jordan Shilton from the World Socialist Web Site. My reaction: This ideological drive is promoted by the ruling capitalist classes in the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire because the outcome is vital for their hegemonic rule of the world. This drive is similar to the other hysterical promotion of the "pandemic" ideology.
  • Russia Ukraine 2 by Patrick Armstrong, a retired analyst formerly with the Canadian Department of National Defence, from his weblog Russia Observer offering his analysis of the strategies and tactics occurring in Ukraine.
  • How Ukraine’s Jewish President Made Peace With Neo-Nazi Paramilitaries by Alexander Rubinstein and Max Blumenthal from Mint Press News. 💥My reaction: This post is not about "how" the Jewish President Zelensky collaborated with the Nazis. Rather, it is about pro-capitalist Jewish activists, or Jewish Nazis, who collaborate with the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire. Jews, like any other ethnic and religious groups, have pro-capitalist elements in them. Apartheid Israel has been imposed on the world to police the Middle East by the capitalist Empire for that very reason. Capitalism--and its end state is fascism--is a system that pits power (control) and wealth of tiny ruling classes against those social classes (ordinary people) that lack power and wealth (read War Against the Weak by Edwin Black). Power and wealth attract most people--and Jews are no different. Power and wealth have fueled capitalist ruling classes and their Empire; and because the outcome in Ukraine is too late, they (power and wealth) are leading the way to the extinction of humans. 
  • Ukraine War Driving Rampant Censorship At Home featuring Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal (founder of The Grayzone) discussing examples of absurd censorship that is becoming widespread in the USA and its allies--using Dore's channel on YouTube (16:25). My reaction: mmm, this is just like censorship of medical practitioners who objected to censorship and views expressed by dissidents who opposed mandates or any questioning of the official propaganda regarding the "pandemic".
