Has this topic already been discussed on this forum (or elsewhere with an available link)?
If not, are you comfortable to discuss it here? (this is a honest and open question: this forum is open since 6 years old or more, so I do not know the habits).
My goal with the second article is obviously not to discuss a full, comprehensive , ready-to-use strategy, but only to ask you what you feel or think about the role of civil society, in the US and on a transnational level, in this respect.
Look around in our archived threads....[that should keep you busy for a few years!]. Yes, we have addressed this - generally in more specific ways, but also sometimes as a general concept. It is, as I see it, the basic 'question'/concept being wrestled with here. We are however dealing with a kind of super-octopus, with many, many tentacles; and having a long and complex hidden history, with many satellite centers of deep power. This forum and a few other websites 'out there' aim to record, document, explore, expose and educate on this hidden history, a logical analysis and deconstruction of it, and what can be done to reverse the damages - and move in positive directions. The last part is the most essential, with the least time allotted [before it will be too late], as well as the most important and difficult, IMHO.
