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.

Insider trading 9/11 ... the facts laid bare [a must read]

Click here to access article by Lars Schall from Asia Times Online.

This allegation of very unusual insider trading in relation to the 9/11 tragedy has been made by a number of knowledgeable people for the past decade. This researcher brings us up-to-date and provides some shocking new evidence. Of course, the SEC, the FBI, and others connected to this issue all deny insider trading in relation to 9/11. They also continue to resist looking at, or commenting on, these new findings. Finally, it appears that this investigator himself is now being targeted by the FBI:
At the end of this article, I should perhaps mention that this research ultimately led to negative consequences for me. After I contacted the FBI, I was informed by the publisher of a German financial website, for which I conducted interviews for a professional fee (and had already prepared more work), that no further cooperation was possible. Now that I will come in one way or another into the focus of the FBI, any association with me would be undesirable.
