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.

William Engdahl on the Ukraine

Click here to access this nearly one hour interview with Engdahl posted on Bildungskanal, originating from TPV (The People's Voice) which appears to be located in Britain. 

Engdahl, who I judge to be one of the world's best geopolitical analysts, covers in depth the historical background on Ukraine along with the coup d´etat, snipers, and lies in the mainstream media.
