Caitlin Johnstone: An Alternate View.
Caitlin Johnstone is a fully crowdfunded journalist who answers to no one and can speak her truth as she sees it…. Just as we can do in our beloved Grapevine. Her goals;
“To do every little thing I can do to help save the world. Humanity seems to be hurtling toward extinction by way of climate destruction or nuclear annihilation, both of which are movements held in place by a transnational alliance of plutocrats and secret government agencies. This unelected power establishment, (which is sometimes referred to as the Deep State…) seems to be motivated not by any ideology, nor any loyalty to any particular nation, but by sheer hunger for limitless power. I place emphasis on the United States because that’s where the largest amount of power appears to be centralized.”
I will continue with one more quote from Caitlin:
“It isn’t the West versus Russia.
It isn’t Left versus Right.
At this time, the real conflict in our societies is a few ruling elites and their cronies versus humanity’s natural impulse to act in a way that is beneficial to humanity.
All we need to do is to help that Impulse to flourish, get out of our oligarchy imposed brain boxes, and build a new world.”
These quotes clearly demonstrate to me why Caitlin and her partner, Tim Foley’s work merits a place in our Islands Grapevine. We are living in a time when the behaviour and the goals of the Elite are coming into view, slowly but surely. Hopefully, our “brain boxes” will continue to discard the programming that we have all been subjected to and help us to create a much healthier, holistic world in the near future.
Carpe Diem and Peace and Love as us old hippies say.
