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.

US-Saudi Funded Terrorists Sowing Chaos in Pakistan

Click here to access article from Land Destroyer Report.

Once again we see an illustration of the Empire's funding of terrorists throughout the Middle East and north Africa since 9/11 to destabilize countries that get in the way of Empire interests. This article provides well-documented evidence to support its thesis that US-Saudi and other associated Arab kingdoms are the sources of funding used to promote sectarian conflicts and general chaos in Baluchistan province of Pakistan. The Empire's targeting of Baluchistan province appears to be motivated by concerns over China's efforts to construct a major oil pipeline through the province. Also, note the use of both hard and soft power (using NGOs) strategies to support destabilization.
