What do you do?
You come to the realization you are being lied to. You realize there are whole categories of meaningful work that is targeted for elimination by hegemon policy. You realize that hegemon policy is also deleterious, for almost all.
The wrong reaction is to go buy a gun. The hegemon has thought of that, and your gun will not answer a bug like ebola.
You decide to vote the bad guys out of office. And your choice after 25 years of Bush and Clinton policy is... Bush and Clinton.
Talk to the press? They are wholly owned by the hegemon.
Brian Williams had to step aside from his position as news anchor for lying. Are they kidding? It's what they do for a living!
Now, getting violent is what they want, that is why they salt the community with so many agentes provocateur. (The person in your group advocating violence is a cop, or is owned by the cops. Always.) No, just go about your life, and do not be like them.

However, if new evidence undercut those suspicions and shifted the blame to people on “the U.S. side” – say, the Syrian rebels and the Ukrainian government – then the standards of proof suddenly skyrocket beyond reach. So what you get is not “responsible” journalism – as Leen tries to suggest – but hypocrisy and propaganda. One set of rules for the goose and another set for the gander.
The Contra-Cocaine Case
Or to go back to the Contra-cocaine scandal that Brian Barger and I first exposed for the Associated Press in 1985: If we were writing that the leftist Nicaraguan Sandinista government – the then U.S. “enemy” – was shipping cocaine to the United States, any flimsy claim would have sufficed. But the standard of proof ratcheted up when the subject of our story was cocaine smuggling by President Ronald Reagan’s beloved Contras.Can we rely on the internet? The internet is wholly owned by the hegemon, and indeed, the malefactor in the story above now works for Jeff Bezos.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do.Extreme times invites extremism. Stay away from that, but "radical" (the root) is good, go back to where we got off track... and start there.... be a radical.
