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.

  • Amber Waves by Martin Empson from Climate & Capitalism. (Note: This is a review of a book by the same title authored by Catherine Zabinski.) Empson writes: 
Wheat however is no longer simply food. It is a commodity that is both highly profitable and a weapon in the arsenal of imperialist nations — particularly the United States. The vast wheat farms of the American Midwest enabled the US to shape the world in its own interest. Zabinski points out that the “Green Revolution” was less about feeding the world and more about fighting “Red Revolution” in the Global South. Like the ruling classes of the first states the US saw the Green Revolution as a way of ensuring its own [capitalist] ideals dominated around the world. But the experience for many recipient countries was much more negative as home-grown agriculture was undermined. [my insertion]
  • Large US military convoy enters Syria from neighboring Iraq from AMN (Al-Masdar News). My reaction: And the "war-beat" goes on. Self-absorbed, throughly indoctrinated American workers have no idea how various regions of the world suffer US violence because they only watch self-serving US/Anglo/Zionist Empire propaganda from corporate TV. Also, much of the USA ignores the almost daily raids by Israeli airplanes on Palestinians and adjacent countries. Now that the Deep State is increasingly turning against most Americans, hopefully they will awaken to the devastation imposed on them in the future, learn about the worldwide suffering at the hands of the Empire, and identify with all the "wretched of the earth".

  • What Do We Do About The Increasing Vaccine Pressure? by Arjun Walia from Collective Evolution featuring a 28:14m video in which Joe Martino, founder of Collective Evolution, discusses the implications of the hints of governments mandating vaccines and private businesses that will essentially making vaccines mandatory in order to access their business services or products. A best post.
  • 'RT raises issues corporate controlled media doesn't want raised' by Chris Hedges from RT. My reaction: Isn't it ironic that a critic of US government policies, like all such critics, has to go to a foreign sponsored source to express his views? And isn't it ironic that one corporate media giant labels RT as "... funded in whole or in part by the Russian government?" in order to discourage viewers away from RT? After all, corporations are careful that we don't access material from dubious sources--but encourage people to access information only from their sources. (sarcasm)
  • Naomi Klein: Gatekeeper Extraordinaire by Cat McGuire & Colleen McGuire from Off-Guardian. My reaction: It is about time that an alternative weblog "outed" a fake critic who too often conforms to careerest (def.) expectations!

The powerful ruling classes that have governed society during the last 10,000 years have always striven to shape the news, but in period since WWII the directors of the remaining capitalist nations (which began as the US combined with what was left of the British Empire) have more seriously shaped the news and information that has informed the general public in order to conform to their interests of power and profits. Read my commentary here for the development of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire since WWII. This development focused on shaping news and information, and censorship of real news; in other words, the intentional use of self-serving propaganda formed a prominent role in promoting the power and profits of this Empire.
  • New World Next Week with James Evan Pilato featuring James Corbett and James Pilato in a nearly 9 minute video reporting on the latest news regarding vaccines, pandemic related matters, and posted on The Corbett Report. 
  • The Problem With the COVID Vaccine | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Explains .... (via YouTube) My reaction: His explanation is precisely how and why the ruling capitalist class (the "billionaire class" or the "oligarchy") has taken over the government. I haven't seen such an explanation by him anywhere on the web. It's because his explanation is dangerous--to him personally because he risks his own assassination.

  • Dominion refusal to attend hearing is globalists throwing down the gauntlet [Video] by Seraphim Hanisch from The Duran. This is a best post. (Note: There is so much content in this article that I haven't the time yet to access all of it. I especially want to direct you to the video--while you are still allowed by YouTube (Google owns YouTube) to access it (unfortunately, it was taken down before I posted my articles). In the process of a few minutes, I discovered that Dr Buttar's website has been already severely edited by YouTube. I don't have the technology expertise to download "TheDeenShow #794" in this article, but I urge people, who have these skills, to download it (too late!) and post the video on independent websites such as Bitchute.)
 Meanwhile, I direct you to this quote and my response:
This is a digression, but let me finish it. Honestly, even though I write about this, I am still reticent to buy the whole package about Fauci and Dr Buttar, so, you who read this now have my own full disclosure. To complete it, I think there is something not right about this story, and I am definitely convinced that the COVID virus is being used by globalist elites because it is useful to their plans. As to whether or not they triggered it, I still have a hard time believing that people in our day crave power to the point of killing hundreds of thousands of people as “collateral damage” or worse, “a case of the means being justified by the ends.” You, Dear Reader, will also have to decide this.
My reaction: I haven't listened to the part about Fauci and Dr. Buttar, but I am convinced that the ruling capitalist classes of various nations are perfectly capable of such horrible crimes. Their record demonstrates this. And because they own, and thus control, everything of value, they will continue to get away with these abominable crimes until natural forces get rid of the human species.
  • They think you're stupid.  By satirist Paul Joseph Watson on his YouTube channel. (Note: Watson is obviously a Brit expressing satire against the covid-19 policies of the English ruling capitalist class. Wikipedia has painted him as the worst type of right-wing human being. This is another example of ruling capitalist classes using unaccountable "intelligence" services to infiltrate progressive organizations and subvert them into serving their fascist agendas. I doubt that he will have any trouble posting his YouTube videos. He may be right-wing, but we need to listen to all credible views instead of censoring them.
Watson is obviously wrong about ridiculing the Great Reset that was announced recently by Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, which is an unelected ruling capitalist class elite organization of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Watson is correct when he says that the Great Reset is only a conspiracy theory, but conspiracy theories of our masters are what they have planned for us, and they will attempt to carry them out. So his ridicule works to a limited extent: to ridicule their propaganda about the supposed benefits to humans under their command. However, they are serious in their commitments to introduce more self-serving events like requiring all citizens to have vaccinations to travel abroad, the introduction of digital money, and other measures which will reduce populations ("useless eaters") and increase their surveillance and control over us. 
Thus far, we have been experiencing only mild restrictions to our civil liberties, but their actual plans will undoubtedly be more serious crimes against humanity in sharp contrast to their propaganda. We are already witnessing the devastating impacts upon poor people, small businessmen, and the gig economy. So their "conspiracy theories" are our reality in the future.
Because people are a lot more likely to click, read and share information which validates their pre-existing opinions and follow people who do the same, social media is notorious for the way it creates tightly insulated echo chambers which masturbate our confirmation bias and hide any information which might cause us cognitive dissonance by contradicting it. Whole media careers were built on this phenomenon during the years of Russiagate hysteria, and we see it play out in spheres from imperialism to Covid-19 commentary to economic policy.
To my foreign readers: Don't blame ordinary Americans for being so misled and ignorant about American and world political issues. They have been subject to unrelenting capitalist propaganda by the American ruling class for the past 75 years!
General Note: I ran out of time and energy to complete my 50+ websites to look for recommendations of credible articles from sources that are independent. Here are the websites that I did not get to:

Corporatization, privatization, a shift from not-for-profit to for-profit health care, and the growth of investor-owned corporate health care have been dominant themes in the transformation of U. S. health care since the 1980s. We have seen a 3,000 percent growth in the numbers of administrators and managers [with their focus on profit] compared to a minimal growth in the numbers of physicians. [My insertion]
Since that time, we have seen lockdowns, an ongoing government-backed fear campaign, fundamental rights being stripped away, dissent censored, inflated COVID-19 death numbers and the use of a flawed PCR test to label perfectly healthy individuals as COVID-19 ‘cases’ in order to fit the narrative of a ‘second wave’. 
But, just for a moment, consider an alternative scenario… 
The government is extremely worried about a substance that could be contributing to a spiraling public health crisis that has been decades in the making. It has been detected in food and in urine. The government has therefore decided to carry out mass urine testing. It has found millions of ‘cases’. ....

But the government does nothing. It does not just do nothing but actively facilitates the marketing of this substance and collude with its manufacturers.  [Sorry for the inconsistent formatting.]

And the name of this ‘stuff’? Glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide. The main culprit – Monsanto’s Roundup. But it is not just glyphosate. It is the cocktail of agricultural chemicals that have been in use for decades.
The Covid-19 pandemic has overwhelmed our species due to its impact on public health, but even more because of the depth of the economic depression it has unleashed, causing a social and employment disaster which plunges us into uncertainty.
The European Deep State follows the lead of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, of which they are an integral part. The author provides an illustration of an informal theme frequently used by the directors of the Empire first identified by journalist Vanessa Beeley that was going in Syria: problem, reaction, and solution. Currently they have initiated the problem (as yet unproven, but likely) of the covid-19 pandemic which adversely impacts public health and the economies of nations of the world, then their media corporations hype the threat which caused widespread fear, and finally, they offer solutions: highly profitable (for them) vaccines and the rest of the Great Reset package: digital money and authoritarian decisions (more censorship and surveillance) by major tech corporations. All of these programs are designed to enhance the profits and power of the transnational capitalist ruling classes in Europe, and offer the transnational capitalist class's solution to the climate crisis by depopulating "useless eaters" (people who don't contribute to the power and profits of the Empire and their corporations).
The design of the European Union, despite the propaganda and its founding myths, is not conceived to protect its citizens in general, let alone its working classes. Its cornerstones are the defence of the freedom of movement of capital and goods and, when and as appropriate, the mobility of people within its borders, to achieve more profitability and competitiveness for its companies. The aspects of cohesion it may contain do not counteracting [sic] this priority.

"Rick Sanchez reports on the covert operations against Syrian President Bashar Assad, orchestrated by the CIA and Saudi Arabia, which led to the creation of Islamic State and caused 500,000 deaths and displaced 10 million people. He explains how the US government can maintain perpetual war only by routinely misinforming the public. Then RT America’s Michele Greenstein and RT producer Dr. Enrique Riviera join to discuss the US hand in fomenting unrest and upheaval in Hong Kong and Bolivia. The Federal Reserve has given another $112 billion to Wall Street. Hardly a sign of a 'thriving economy.'

Funding The Climate Breakdown : How can it be stopped?

Click here to access an 11:17m video from Just Have a Think via YouTube.

I think this latest installment from Just Have a Think is an excellent example of what Cory Morningstar has thoroughly exposed about capitalism's funding of reform efforts to subvert the protests concerning the climate crisis. Note particularly what Dave Borlace, the narrator, says about selecting "our banks" who will in turn, presumably because of our influence, fund efforts at mitigating the crisis. Absolute nonsense! Yes, they will set up some banks for this purpose, but meanwhile the major banks will continue to do business as usual.  And if we are fooled, we will see an increasing climate and environmental deterioration which will eventually end in the extinction of human and most other species.

I don't know if the narrator is a naive dupe or whether he is consciously serving the ruling capitalist classes. But I do know that privately owned banks, which make up the Federal Reserve and control it, do not serve the general public in our societies, but only one tiny part of it--the ruling capitalist class.

 I repudiate my recommendation that you subscribe to this YouTube channel as I previously recommended in the last paragraph of the post on September 27, 2019.

Extinction Rebellion Training, or How to Control Radical Resistance from the ‘Obstructive Left’

Click here to access article by Cory Morningstar from Wrong Kind of Green. 

Morningstar analyses and illustrates the capitalist origins of the UK's Extinction Rebellion movement that uses crowd and psychological techniques to take charge of the hunger-driven desire to do something about the coming environmental disasters. The author gives examples of this fake movement to illustrate the use of psychological and social techniques of the well-funded new movement to advance their messages.  These methods were honed to perfection by the subversive NGOs that promoted the color revolutions which occurred in many countries in the early decades of the 21st century. 

Our masters in the transnational capitalist ruling classes in charge of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire believe that it is better to lead the worldwide hunger to do something about the threat of environmental destabilization than allow grassroots people to create their own movements which might interfere with the Empire's obsessive quest for power and profits. 
This , in essence, forms the key strategy of Extinction Rebellion. To isolate radical voices and to dominate the narrative. While targeting the non-practical and pragmatic. A narrative and an orchestrated campaign that serves the ruling class. To give a faux sense of inclusion, while mocking those who have, first and foremost, an allegiance to the Earth. Framing those ["as political absolutists"] who recognize that the very capitalist system destroying all life on our finite planet, [a system which] will not and cannot be magically reformed to save us ....
Although Extinction Rebellion takes no position against capitalism, Hallam [one of the trainers] has no issue with taking a swipe at socialism.
