On this 100th anniversary day of the first World War that morphed, through ten decades, into the endless war that now daily decimates Earth and Earthlings, let us view what’s going on through a kaleidoscope of lenses:

Steven Lendman’s essay in “honor” of this anniversary day —

• A Century of War

— a cogent, potent overview of war and peace across the globe ending with how the warmongers have now, as in the beginning of this “great” nation, when they genocided the Native American population, turned on our own, the struggling poor who barely survive, often homeless, and always forgotten, in the ravaged urban and rural wastelands of the broken American heartland.

This morning’s Laura Bruno post —

• Excellent Example of how Agenda 21 Is Not Really About Sustainability

— documents just how very aware we must become of the various clever and deceptive ways top-down powers can hijack local and individual efforts to create and nourish a truly sustainable, regenerative world that works for everybody. (Shit-detector hint: any project with the word “smart” attached to it.) Laura Bruno was the person who first brought to my attention just how pernicious was and is Agenda 21.

Oh, and btw: did you realize that Agenda 21, and geoengineering, and in general all sorts of “fields” for college students that relate to engineering a simulated reality on top of the real one that Nature intended, is now being promoted in university curricula? See this extraordinary blog post that asked the question, and got this amazing information:

• Degrees in Geo-Engineering and Sustainable Development

Geez! When did that start? How did we not notice? You see how very smooth and deceptive Agenda 21 can be? And for children raised on “screens” rather than playing outside, it probably looks normal and “natural.”

3. Also this morning, a rousing new post from Julian Rose —

• Seizing Control of Our Destinies

— who points out the precise direction in which we must head to create the possibility of shifting from the planned centralization and control of everything by powers that do not have our or our Earth’s interests at heart: decentralization, at all levels, and in every way. It’s really very simple: every day, in every way, what are you doing with your wild and precious life to increase the regenerativity of your inner own self; and just beyond that, what are you doing to increase the regenerativity of your household, your block, your neighborhood, your town, your region. These are the priorities, from the inside out, in order of decreasing importance. Why?

Because the most crucial area of concern lies inside the self. Unless we remove the wall between ourselves and the living universe, unless we open ourselves to constant inflow from the infinite void of endless possibility, unless we surrender to the Mystery that seeks to enliven all that is, we will simply shrivel up and die, or be picked off by the far-reaching, remotely controlled and controlling PTB.

Take heart! All is not lost. In fact, the ongoing atrocities are waking lots of people up, all over the world.
