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.

Boston and the CIA ‘Snafu’: The grey eminence behind Turkey’s Erdogan and AKP

Click here to access article by F. William Engdahl from VoltaireNet.

In this piece the author puts together more pieces--CIA operations against Russia, Muslim terrorist organizations, and Boston bombing figures--in the jigsaw puzzle that continues to suggest a picture in which elements in the US power structure are deliberately promoting Muslim terrorists to further their Empire's control of Eurasia. 
In the first part, geopolitical analyst William Engdahl discussed the role of CIA’s Graham Fuller in creating the policy of using angry Jihadist Muslims as trained terrorists in Afghanistan and elsewhere against the Soviet Union. Herein—largely drawing on the revelations made by FBI whistle-blower Sibel Edwards—Engdahl throws the spotlight on the entire CIA-sponsored Islamic Jihadist operations run through Fetullah Gülen across Turkey into Central Asia and Russia and China.
