Jon Rappoport: TV Mind-Control — the Flicker Effect from Sandy Hook to Orland, How False Flags Are “Sold”

Civil Society, Collective Intelligence, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Media

Mind control achieved through the “information flicker effect”

I wrote this piece in 2012, in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. I re-post it now, because it equally applies to the Orlando shooting. No, I’m not talking about the flicker of the television picture. I’m talking about an on-off switch that controls information conveyed to the television audience. . . .

The media anchors are absorbing, arranging, and broadcasting details given to them by the police investigators. The anchors are PR people for the cops. This has nothing to do with journalism. Nothing.

Berto Jongman: Economist on Decentralized Web

Advanced Cyber/IO, Collective Intelligence

Reweaving the web

A slew of startups is trying to decentralise the online world

If decentralisation is now making a comeback, it is largely because of the rise of bitcoin, a crypto-currency, and its underlying technology, the blockchain. This is a globally distributed database, which is maintained not by a single actor, such as a bank, but collaboratively by many.

David A. Bray: Distributed Problem-Solving Networks

Back in 2007-2008 we did research relevant to your thinking on Applied Collective Intelligence, at the University of Oxford. We focused on “distributed problem-solving networks” that included looking at film production in a distributed fashion to include a lot of open source projects:

Antechinus: Cooperation Emerges When Groups Are Small and Memories Are Long

Advanced Cyber/IO, Civil Society, Collective Intelligence, Earth Intelligence, Peace Intelligence

Cooperation emerges when groups are small and memories are long

The tragedy of the commons, a concept described by ecologist Garrett Hardin, paints a grim view of human nature. The theory goes that, if a resource is shared, individuals will act in their own self-interest, but against the interest of the group, by depleting that resource. Yet examples of cooperation and sharing abound in nature, from human societies down to single-celled bacteria.

Bernie Sanders: Can He Rise to the Moment as Hillary Clinton is Indicted and Joe Biden Co-Conspires with Elizabeth Warren?

Civil Society, Collective Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, Ethics, Government

Sen. Bernie Sanders Bernie Sanders is at the single most significant turning point in his life. Against all odds (greater odds than those faced by Donald Trump) he has mobilized a generation and restored some semblance of social and economic justice to the Democratic Party's notional position.

It is virtually certain that Hillary Clinton will be indicted before the convention, opening the path for Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren to emerge as the “sensible” alternatives to what many see as two impossible choices. Donald Trump — still our favorite for pure disruption reasons — has begun to self-destruct — if he does not get a professional policy staff that can address all threats and all policies with evidence-based decision-support in the context of a balanced budget, America will be voting for “least idiot” rather than “best president.”

David Bollier: Why the Commons?

Collective Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, Earth Intelligence, Peace Intelligence

Commoning as a Transformative Social Paradigm

Every so often I am invited to write a piece that in effect answers the question, “Why the commons?” I invariably find new answers to that question each time that I re-engage with it. My latest attempt is an essay, “Commoning as a Transformative Social Paradigm,” which I wrote for the Next System Project as part of its series of proposals for systemic alternatives.
