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.

Christopher Black Destroys the Myth of the Rwandan “Genocide”

Click here to access a one hour and 14 minute interview conducted by James Corbett with an international lawyer from Toronto who is not only familiar with what the real story is about the Rwandan "genocide" based on a successful legal case he won, but many other phony stories concocted by the Empire's propaganda machinery. I don't normally have the time to listen to such a lengthy address, and you may feel the same way. But, just listen to the first 6:15m of the interview to see if you can resist listening to much more. There are also four supporting documents at this post that are valuable.

Addendum, 6-8-2014:

I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to learn that the books Black recommended in the very last part of the interview are difficult to get. One book he recommended is entitled Global Justice Or Global Revenge?: International Criminal Justice At The Crossroads by Hans Kochler. It was out of print at Amazon, but I found used copies available at their Canadian subsidiary called Abe Books.

Rwanda 1994: Colonialism dies hard, the English translation of Robin Philpot's book Ça ne s’est pas passé comme ça à Kigali, appears to be available only online.

There is also this lengthy document posted online from a New Zealand website entitled "The Dallaire Genocide Fax" by Chris Black.
