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.

On "Punishing" Russia

Click here to access article by Bernhard from his blog Moon of Alabama.

US corporate media have launched a propaganda blitz against Russia. It seems that they don't measure up to the humanitarian standards of the US. Besides, those Ruskies need to be taught a lesson about disobeying Empire orders (Snowden's extradition)!
There is a campaign building in the "western" media and by the "western" elite to "punish" Russia for not doing what those elites want it to do.
