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.

Another Known Wolf? NYC Bombing Suspect Probed by FBI, Leading to Bigger Questions

Another very suspicious "terrorist" incident! The author explores the circumstances related to these latest related incidents in the NY City area and finds once again that it looks like a staged false flag terrorist event.

All activists and the general public need to be aware that the games of deception practiced in so many places where the US Empire is involved also happen here at home. We live in a truly globalized world. The trans-national capitalist class that directs the Empire has no more regard for working people in the US than they do for working people throughout the world. They use corporate media, fake terrorist events, and their secretly funded real terrorist armies to spread their lies everywhere.
You have to wonder, were the events in New York and New Jersey also a weapon of mass distraction, following a major international embarrassment for the United States both at home and abroad – the brutal airstrike campaign in Syria that killed over 70 Syrian troops? This unlikely bombing incident just happened to also coincide with the UN General Assembly in NYC, where President Obama was delivering among other speeches, his “War on Terror” addresses to the international community. No surprise then, with the city suddenly on ‘high terror alert’ – that Obama quickly and confidently and comfortably used his center stage spotlight at the UN, shifting into ‘national security’ mode – boasting how quickly his police forces solved the case. It was almost if we was ready for events that weekend.
The Empire directors also use a major divide and conquer strategy here in the US in their attempt to split the working class between African-Americans and European-Americans. This is an old strategy resurrected in a desperate attempt to foster domestic conflict and also to create distractions from their imperial wars abroad.
