The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Long over-due for re-issuance, this time with a great deal more participation from all Eight Tribes, and a really warm welcome for the US Institute of Peace (USIP) which hit its stride with Guiding Principles for Stabilization and Reconstruction (Paperback). No one answers the phone when we call to ask about an update.

Hope for a Climate Change Solution in the Wake of Copenhagen — If Governments Can't, People Can
The scale and speed of change required goes well beyond anything political leaders have ever had to contemplate, much less achieve. And even if the political will were there to achieve this level and speed of carbon reduction, the social change 1.0 tools at their disposal — command and control, and financial incentives — are not designed for this type of rapid, transformative change. They were purposely designed over two centuries ago for gradual, incremental change.
. . . . . . .
If command and control and financial incentives are not enough to turn the tide in the necessary timeframe, can renewable energy and new breakthrough technologies come to the rescue of humankind? While a low-carbon future critically depends on new technologies, there is no credible scenario by which they can be brought to scale in the ten-year window within which our scientists tell us we must make major carbon reductions.
The dilemma we face is what systems theory calls second order change — or change that requires a system to transform and reorganize at a higher level of performance. When the easier-to-implement solutions prove inadequate for the speed and magnitude of change required, the system goes into stress and must evolve, or it will break down.
. . . . . . .
A Cool Community also enables a city or town to enjoy the immediate practical benefits of more livable neighborhoods, greater environmental sustainability, and economic development. Furthermore, it creates a robust long-term carbon reduction capability by building the community leadership, carbon-literate citizenry, and political will necessary to sustain this type of change over time.

Warning Notice: This is a “heavy” site prone to jamming. It's worth the effort to take a look, and has been added to the Professional Sites list. There are also some screwy blockages on copying text. This is not quite ready for prime time, but it is a righteous good start.
We were impressed by the Earth Science Initative of the Bush-Cheney White House, and this effort appears to take that earlier initiative further, this time in partnership with CISCO, which still has not given up on “owning” the Cloud.
The site proposes that the challenge is “Flying Blind” in a complex and volatile world (they don't mention that changes to the Earth that used to take 10,000 years now take three); and that the solution is a global nervous system able to sense, predict, and act.
This is a geek's wet dream, totally focused on bit and byte management and completely lacking a Strategic Analytic Model or any sense of how to mobilize the Eight Tribes and do Multinational Engagement on a global scale, but it has enormous potential if (big if) the public can demand that every aspect of this offiering be Open–it should be accessible via Free'Open Source Software (F/OSS); generate Open Source Intelligence (OSINT); and both receive and broadcast all information via Open Spectrum and a Cloud that is NOT owned by CISCO, open to devices that are NOT infrastructure-dependent (e.g. Haggle).
Great search that we appreciate very much.this is now an established term with its own Wikipedia page that includes a guide to conferences and other resources, so here we will focus only on the culture of catastrophe and how stupid societies choose to turn otherwise manageable disasters into life-altering catastrophes.
There are three sub-sets we would recommend for consideration.
1) Process of decision-making. The first link talks about what happens when you fail to plan, react, or respond.
2) Earth Science and the political war on science
3) Empire and the global class war pitting dictators and their arms merchants and banks against the public
See the reviews, and then the actual books; below cover the first category only, use the Reviews Menu to browse such categories as Disaster Relief (16); Empire, Sorrows, Hubris, Blowback (146); Environment (Problems) (55); Environment (Solutions) (76); Power (Pathologies & Utilization) (94); True Cost & Toxicity (29); Truth & Reconciliation (42); Values, Ethics, Sustainable Evolution (142); Voices Lost (Indigenous, Gender, Poor, Marginalized) (49). Virtually every entry within this web site focuses on Information Operations (IO) and Integrity as the means of avoiding disasters while creating a prosperous world at peace.
Detroit jet terrorist attack was staged – journalist
The recent failed attack on a US passenger jet traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit was a set-up provocation controlled by US intelligence, author and journalist Webster Tarpley stated to RT.
“[The terrorist’s] father, a rich Nigerian banker, went to the US embassy in Nigeria on November 19 and said ‘my son is in Yemen in a terrorist camp, do something about this.’ Nevertheless, the son is allowed to buy a ticket in Ghana, paying cash, $2,800, for a one-way ticket,” Tarpley said.
After that, a mentally deficient young man who doubtfully could make it from one gate to another managed to illegally enter Nigeria and get on a plane to Amsterdam.
“There was a well-dressed Indian man who brought him to the gate and said, ‘my friend does not have a passport, get him on, he is Sudanese, we do this all the time – that is impossible!” said Tarpley.

Climate Change: The Religion of Copenhagen
During the recent COP-15 Conference in Copenhagen, the United Nations claimed it wanted to maintain religious neutrality. It was a lie. Global Warming is the established religion at these international events.
Get the U.N. Out of the Climate Business
The political theater in Copenhagen shows that we need realistic answers that don't require economic suicide to the challenge of rising global temperatures.
In the aftermath of the Copenhagen Climate conference, it is clear that the United Nations-driven process is a bust, and that any similar process requiring economic suicide and massive wealth transfers will go nowhere. It is long since time to drop this charade, take the question of climate change out of the hands of the U.N., and implement more reasonable policies.
The Divergence Lie
So many wrongs have been exposed by the recent climategate scandal that it will take time to see the full extent fraud, egotism and greed each played a part in the greatest fraud in history: global warming. Besides the violations of Freedom of Information Act, acts of extortion, and threats of physical violence, The Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia lied significantly about the basis of the global warming hoax. This hoax has cost Americans billions of dollars so far will cost us trillions of dollars if the cultists are allowed to continue with their lies.
