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.

Argentina Unrest: Brought to you by Goldman Sachs

Click here to access article by Tony Cartalucci from his blog Land Destroyer Report.

Although I haven't seen this reported in mainstream media (I don't spend much time watching it), there have been reports in CNN, Chicago Tribune, The Guardian, BBC, etc, of huge demonstrations in Argentina against the populist Kirchener government. Cartalucci finds evidence that this has been engineered by behind-the-scenes actors promoting neo-liberal agendas. As is typical in such situations, we see the footprints of Goldman Sachs here. We also see that social media has been used as was the case in other "color revolution" protests.

For more information regarding these protests and neo-liberal actions in South America, I recommend the following:
