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.

South East China Sea; A Perfect Crisis for the International Crisis Group

Click here to access article by Christopher Black, James Henry Fetzer, Alex Mezyaev, and Christof Lehmann from nsnbc.

This lengthy article provides a major and important political analysis of the US/NATO Empire, its radically regressive policies, methods, and intentions all of which are leading the world down the path of barbarism. The authors provide some suggestions about how nations can counter and reverse this catastrophic path.

The title is meant to be ironic in that it refers to a group sponsored by George Soros called the "International Crisis Group".
With respect to the  territorial dispute about areas in the South China Sea, between the Philippines and China, a recent report by the European, Soros Funded, International Crisis Group, ICG, is revealing US/NATO´s strategy. While the ICG is overtly claiming to be working on crisis resolution, the report has in fact to be understood as an analysis of, how the crisis can be managed to secure the best possible outcome for the modo-colonial and globalist powers.
