Whatever happened to the 15-M Movement? Where did Occupy go? Three years after the groundbreaking revolutionary ruptures of 2011, violent repression and media invisibility have relegated these thriving movements to a grey area. The perception seems to shift between mainstream derision and niche-group interest. Occupy’s roots have spread out and sprouted a multitude of initiatives, though perhaps the source inspiration is not always publicly recognized. But in Spain, the popular experience of austerity – the murderous palliative prescribed as a cure for the crisis – and the resulting political movements in reaction have been giving the lie to the mainstream narrative that 15-M is a “has been”.
The movement undeniably lives. Its form has been mutated, re-imagined, distributed, and coalesced into a swarm of activity and hacks to the system. We live here, we see it every day. These initiatives are not as easily seen, defined – or, for that matter, targeted – as a physical occupation may be; yet they permeate the hegemony, creating new possibilities and spaces. You need only look at the recent EU Parliamentary election results to see how Spanish voters have reacted to austerity and debt – and how that reaction contrasted strongly with that of some other European nations. One of the most important evolutions of 15-M is undoubtedly the “Movimiento por la Democracia” (Movement for Democracy).
Here's a TedX talk that was just released which shares more details on the concept of many-to-many: Gandhi 3.0 (slides here). For more context, Designing for Generosity speaks more about ServiceSpace values and its implications.
Right now, we Americans seem to be sitting at a meeting table with the billionaire boss for whom we are currently working. We are hoping that he will come up with the solutions to the problems of U.S.A. Incorporated— even though he has never set foot on the factory floor. Everyone is afraid to tell him what is going on there. The questions we ought to ask ourselves now are: Are we going to keep doing this? Or are we willing to try a different approach?

“This is that moment when in the proliferation of uncertainty and the proliferation of chaos, we are ready to take the next quantum leap in our evolution.” ~ Deepak Chopra
A worldwide web of social conscience is naturally emerging in our new global social networks. This is a challenge for the unconscionable policies of a global economic infrastructure that still rewards the plunder of global populations for a corrupt corporatocracy that profits from war, disease and desecration of Earth.
Such predatory policies are an affront to conscience. They simply want power without conscious principle.
That pathological ‘parasite’ – call it what you may – will naturally have a shorter existence as the psychological terrain of the global mind raises the frequency of holy spirit as -in-action at the heart of our new global TeLeComm unity.
Information Clearing House, June 23: The man who trained more than 66 countries in open source methods calls for re-invention of intelligence to re-engineer Earth. “We are at the end of a five-thousand-year-plus historical process during which human society grew in scale while it abandoned the early indigenous wisdom councils and communal decision-making. Power was centralized in the hands of increasingly specialized ‘elites' and ‘experts' who not only failed to achieve all they promised but used secrecy and the control of information to deceive the public into allowing them to retain power over community resources that they ultimately looted.” ~ The Open Source Everything Manifesto by Robert David Steele, former Marine, and US co-founder of the US Marine Corps intelligence activity
Today's capitalism, Steele argues, is inherently predatory and destructive:
“Over the course of the last centuries, the commons was fenced, and
everything from agriculture to water was commoditized without regard to
the true cost in non-renewable resources. Human beings, who had spent
centuries evolving away from slavery, were re-commoditized by the
Industrial Era.”
Open source everything, in this context, offers us the chance to build on what we've learned through industrialization, to learn from our mistakes, catalyze the re-opening of the commons, and in the process breaking the grip of defunct power structures and enabling the possibility of prosperity for all.
“Sharing, not secrecy, is the means by which we realize such a lofty destiny
as well as create infinite wealth. The wealth of networks, the wealth of
knowledge, revolutionary wealth – all can create a win-win Earth that
works for one hundred percent of humanity. This is the ‘utopia' that
Buckminster Fuller foresaw, now within our reach.”
The goal, Steele concludes, is to reject:
“… concentrated illicitly aggregated and largely phantom wealth in favor of
community wealth defined by community knowledge, community sharing
of information, and community definition of truth derived in transparency
and authenticity, the latter being the ultimate arbiter of shared wealth.”
Despite this unabashedly radical vision, Steele is hugely respected by senior military intelligence experts across the world. As a researcher at the US Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute, he has authored several monographs advocating the need for open source methods to transform the craft of intelligence. He has lectured to the US State Department and Department of Homeland Security as well as National Security Councils in various countries, and his new book has received accolades from senior intelligence officials across multiple countries including France and Turkey.
“The whole point of Open Source Everything is to restore public agency.
Open Source is the only form of information and information technology
that is affordable to the majority, interoperable across all boundaries, and
rapidly scalable from local to global without the curse of overhead that
proprietary corporations impose.”

There is nothing more challenging to conscious evolution in our global social networks
than a compelling vision of the future that makes prevailing ‘normalcy bias’ obsolete,
especially when we are too well adjusted to unhealthy systems of global governance. “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to
a profoundly sick society.” ~ Krishnamurti
The overcoming of ‘stuck' status quo inertia has been gaining momentum every since
the computer/Internet revolution shifted knowledge power attainment from first the dominance of hardware (IBM mainframes), then to software (Microsoft desk-tops),
and then the computer became the network of computers with netware (Netscape).
The natural evolution of this global revolution in knowledge power
has grown to about 3 billion global Netizens who are connecting
to social networks that are capable of maturing with interactive
TeLeComm heartware (Heartcom Services), for quantum shift.
Any compelling vision of the future trends that challenge entrenched corruption will
naturally have some opposition from the control matrix that resists and even resents
any challenge to its love of power. It’s like the Patty Hurst Syndrome, learning to love those who kidnapped and imprisoned her, enslaving her mind and misdirected ‘love'. The battered spouse syndrome is another prime example of perverse normalcy bias.
The currency of conscience is always disruptive to a dysfunctional Belief System that serves us poorly.
This is the ‘Fuller Challenge‘ that is going mainstream in 2014 with rapid evolutionary ascent of social networked conscience in terms of quantum science.
As within, so with ALL, and as we wake up, wise up and rise up with ALL-connected ‘Open Source ‘, unity in our diversity overcomes divisive dysfunction.
Unity consciousness weaves the fabric of universal design
with the Language of the Angels of LOVE at the heart of
‘Geometric Ordered Divinity' in all integrated dimensions.
This is why the two hemispheric fields of the Earth body correspond to the holographic “brain field” (holodeck) in the two hemispheres between your ears. That's why Eastern civilizations read their symbol language from right to left. They are right-brain dominant whereas left-brain dominant Westerners read from left to right.
That is just one of many examples of how
the kingdom of cosmos is within all of us.
This is foundational for understanding the natural platform for the Web We Want as represents the natural law and language of the holographic universe.
The ‘InnerNet’ at the heart of the Internet
is a natural function of the quantum field
whose gold standard is heart coherence
as represents wholEness for global TLC.
A new ‘Net reality' – The Global Mind — is thus emerging with a collective conscience as a far greater ‘light' — as a whole — than the sum of the full spectrum of networked social consciousness in our new all-connected global social networks.
This is the ‘Web We Want’, the infrastructure of global society whereby universal “equal” rights are an integral part of a whole systems upgrade.
That’s not only possible with global TeLeComm,
it’s also the 2014 vision that will make it so!
The concepts of synergy, synchronicity, telepathy, remote viewing and other gifts of ‘nonlinear perception‘ are not a mystery when understood. Indeed, there's nothing ‘Extra' about ESP when you experience it. Effective Sensory Perception with ‘Open Source Everything' is our natural birthright that has largely been educated out of us by left-brain dominant conditioning in the public fool system; smart without heart.
Ordained right-brain matriarchal virtues are not a challenge to inordinate left-brain dominant Western Civilization when one is centered and connected with a fully present marriage to one's “better half” – one's undeveloped feminine side for better balance.
This is consistent with ancient prophecies worldwide
that patriarchal male-dominant culture, in the future,
will come into balance with matriarchal virtues as will
nurture global civility with cooperative win/win for all.
“The ‘New Feminine’ has no gender. It’s a principle that men and women
both possess, defined by gentleness, and compassion and heart.” ~ Maria Bello, actress, social activist
from: THE SHIFT Movie Trailer(6 1/2 min.) A Movie Made by a Movement. Published on June 2, 2014
This is the big shift to wholEness in personal and planetary reality that increasingly challenges provincial mindsets — ‘local' realities — that have deep roots in the ground of social, political and economic ‘norms' in practice, even when they create conflict and social dysfunction, largely due to the psychology of subservience to external authority.
The question is, how will we break the habit of getting along by going along with social policies that are disruptive to good conscience?
The worldwide web we all want has
has a higher ‘norm’ of mass-to-
mass interactive TeLeComm
for TeLeComm unity with
TeLeConscience and global TeLeCare
emphasizing
the ‘TLC’.
Obviously, global institutions that profit from war, disease and population reduction are afflicted by paradigm paralysis that doesn’t see any profit from conscientious TLC evolution in all our social institutions, and especially the ‘TeLeCommerce’ that values TLC enough to invest in the long term for peace, healing and our evolutionary ascent.
Heaven knows that the best solution to
inordinate extremes in public policies
is ordained TLC… easier and faster.
Involving and evolving our individual and collective conscientious common sense; unity conscience.

Break Them Up to Make Them Powerless and Thus Much Easier to Control: Mike Whitney
Here's the key take away from this excellent analysis well worth reading entirely:
“What is happening in Iraq today was anticipated in a 2007 Seymour Hersh article titled “The Redirection.” Author Tony Cartalucci gives a great summary of the piece in his own article. He says:
David Shayler is a former intelligence officer with MI5, the UK's domestic security service. In 1997, he blew the whistle on MI6 funding Al Qaeda to assassinate Colonel Qadhafi of Libya. He will be writing on intelligence and security issues, and Common Law as the solution to the world‘s problems.
Earlier this month, the prestigious US magazine Life became the latest mainstream publication to attack ‘conspiracy theorists'. It cited the usual list of concerns – Agenda 21; chemtrails; weather manipulation; Obama's birth certificate – dismissing conspiracy theorists as gun-totin' right wing Christian extremists.
Hearteningly, the comments in response to the article proved that actually the thinking man in the street has seen through these kind of glib assertions on the part of journalists well-rewarded by the mainstream for their ignorance and inhumanity.
