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.

The War on Terror: Targeting Elected Officials [a best post]

Bonnie Faulkner of Guns and Butter (program) from KPFA in Berkeley, California interviews Canadian Prof. Graeme MacQueen in a one hour program.

In this excellent interview MacQueen provides many little known facts about what happened during and after 9/11 to intimidate Congressional leaders who were key figures to pass the Authorization for Use of Military Force and Patriot Act, and connects many other events to reveal a pattern of a grand false-flag conspiracy to promote a War on Terror, the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and related events.
Graeme MacQueen discusses the intimidation of elected representatives by the executive branch in both the United States and Canada as a core feature of the War on Terror. MacQueen's pattern of Threat; Unity and Response (both internal and external) to perceived danger. The War on Terror as a threat to democracy.
