Some thoughts on what can really be done instead of just waiting for some politicians or other leaders to help us out of the misery. 

But no matter how far this can already be implemented now, offline networking is necessary anyway.

" Grassroots councils: Let's do politics ourselves!
Gerhard Kugler is a psychologist and psychotherapist. Against this background, he considers the course of social and political relations. He is looking for solutions to actively shape the future and overcome existing deficits in the economy, society and democracy. His approach: Let's make politics ourselves!

...

This kind of democracy is not untested. Historical models can be found in the labor movements of the late 19th century, in anarcho-syndicalism or in the present, for example, in the de facto self-governing regions of Mexico, where people organize their coexistence independently of the state and on the basis of equality, grassroots democracy and solidarity.

But she was always tried only in the power vacuum and regularly smashed by new powerful ones. We want to build and test them in this country in still relatively quiet times. We need experience in this. But we also need an everyday life before major upheavals, which are still to be expected. We need politics on a large and on a small scale. The small determines our everyday relationships, the big determines the global connections.

The two articles are from 2018, now the "relatively quiet times" are unfortunately already over.

Pretty impressive how many scam neocon "disinformation" projects 'the intercept' owner Pierre Omidyar is behind.
The source for AP's Russiagate propaganda is "Reset, a London-based nonprofit that studies social media’s impact on democracy."
Reset is funded by Omidyar.

The Secrets of Opus Dei - Faith, Power, Manipulation

For many critics, the arch-conservative Catholic community Opus Dei is a diabolical sect.
However, Opus Dei (which translates to "Work of God”) sees itself in a very positive light.
https://archive.is/wip/J6mqA
https://www.dw.com/en/the-secrets-of-opus-dei-faith-power-manipulation/a-61520532
90,000 members worldwide have taken a vow of secrecy - and those who have left report persecution if they break that vow.
Meanwhile, Opus Dei is working to become the most influential player in the Catholic Church.
To this end, it maintains a secret network - including branches in Germany.

It is no coincidence that the German headquarters are located in Cologne - Germany‘s most powerful Catholic archdiocese.
In Germany, Opus Dei is focused on trying to gain a foothold in the field of education, by running daycare centers and schools.

Interesting because Ukraine has tried several times to get drones into the Moscow area. This may be another such attempt...

Unidentified drone falls in Tula region (170km from Moscow). Emergency services are on the scene.

On March 17, 2011, Libyan statehood was destroyed.
For 12 years, the Libyan people have survived 2 civil wars,
invasion of int’l terrorist orgs, economic & humanitarian crises.
Full functioning of state institutions is still impossible,
but Libyan oil goes to European consumers.

In 2003 Gaddafi agreed to dismantle Libya's WMDs

In 2009 Hillary Clinton welcomed Gaddafi's son, Mutassim, to USDS and said:
"We deeply value the relationship between US and Libya".

Black Mountain Analysis

Operational update
Scorched Earth, war crimes, Avdeevka and the Chinese

Introduction
"Since several circumstances on the battlefield have changed, I decided to write a new operational update. Moreover, it looks like the end of the armed resistance of Ukraine is near and very tangible. Which leads to a couple of questions regarding the justification of continuing the conflict. Legal ones as well. I’ll try to explain in very shortly.

I observed a change in the operational approach of the Russians with regards to the vectors of attrition in Donbass. BMA lined originally five vectors out. Which originally actually have been activated and pressed. Since our original five vectors have changed now, I’ll bring our definition up to the current state of affairs.

Eventually I’m going to discuss the meeting between President Xi and President Putin next week (March 20th) and what they perhaps could be proposing to President Zelensky to end the war."
