Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Saudi Arabia to supply Anti-Aircraft Missiles to Mercenaries in Syria

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.

Saudi Arabia to supply Anti-Aircraft Missiles to Mercenaries in Syria

Lehmann writes how the Wall Street Journal is providing propaganda cover for the step-up of Saudi supplying weapons to mercenaries in Syria to keep the destabilization efforts going as long as possible and to promote the best possible settlement for the Empire at the Geneva negotiations. No doubt that the US military-industrial complex is happy to supply these weapons via Saudi Arabia.
