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.

PropOrNot: Evidence of a CIA Psychological Operation

Click here to access article by Kurt Nimmo from Newsbud. (Note: the first paragraph of the article carelessly cites the Washington Times as referencing PropOrNot. It obviously should be the Washington Post as he later indicates.)

It's obvious that our ruling masters are suffering acute anxiety over their botched operations all over the world and over the disbelief of its own citizens regarding information disseminated by their corporate media. Nimmo cites evidence that they are now engaged in psychological operations (in other words, engaged in fakery to alter news and views) against their rebellious subjects in order to combat the credibility of independent media that people are increasingly turning toward to understand what is going on in the world.
The Washington Post and the establishment media have latched on to the ludicrous PropOrNot campaign to denounce alternative media as some sort of nefarious Russian plot to undermine the political system in the United States. Despite this, millions of Americans continue to read alternative news and make their own informed decisions, a trend that has set off alarm bells in the deepest recesses of the establishment.
Everyday there seems to be more evidence that our ruling capitalist masters are engaging in activities that they accuse their opponents of doing. In this regard you might also be interested in a report from The Free Thought Project entitled "As Feds Blame Russia, GA Secretary of State Just Accused DHS of Hacking its Election Systems" regarding the attempted hacking of voter data from the state of Georgia by the Dept. Homeland Security.
