SUMMARY OF VARIED OPEN SOURCES:

There is a Pashtun Storm brewing.

For months Karzai has been frantically trying to deal away the run-off, thus acknowledging that Ghani has won the Presidency. Karzai is trying to place Abdullah as Prime Minister (which has always been Abdullah's only realistic goal as a 100% Tajik minority) and claim ministry and province positions for the Karzai-Abdullah team. The mere fact that Karzai is so frantic confirms my personal view that Ghani has won this election beyond the ability of fraud, I now call for him to win by 6% or more even with the massive fraud that is planned.

The ‘sharability’ of almost everything

Bronwen Rees

At the beginning of 2014, Time named collaborative consumption as one of the “10 ideas that will change the world.” Collaborative consumption describes a shift in consumer values, from ownership to access. Together, communities and even entire cities are using less by renting, sharing, swapping and bartering products on a scale never experienced before. OneFineStay, for example, gives people the chance to stay in someone’s house while they’re away, whilst Freecycle allows us to exchange unwanted goods for free.  These are just two examples of how collaborative consumption is transforming the way we live.

Recently I had occasion to listen to a superb briefing at the Pentagon, unclassified, with the slides on the record. They are linked below, and I have pulled out one slide in particular. Although dated from May,  the results have been analyzed to be relevant to a “dead heat” finding right now.

How to integrate information for a wiser democracy

Many fields and professions – from journalism and academia to video games and movies – can and do stimulate informed – or misinformed – democratic engagement. Usually these sectors operate in semi-independent silos. Bringing them together to craft synergistic innovations on behalf of actionable shared understanding could result in new ways to make democracy both more participatory and more wise.

This year I decided that one of my focuses would be promoting a truly fruitful confluence between journalism and the “dialogue and deliberation” community. I particularly wanted to share the powerful innovation of Canada’s Maclean’s magazine who engaged their readers in vicariously experiencing a transformational dialogue among their polarized peers.

What Is (and Is Not) Left-Wing?

by Kieran Kelly

Dissident Voce / May 29th, 2014

EXTRACT

The term left-wing comes from those who during the French Revolution believed in a society based on the revolutionary ideals that had animated the masses. Over time there has been a consensus among left-wing movements on many issues (I exclude here state regimes which adopt left-wing rhetoric, but which, more often than not, are actually right-wing in their nature). My purpose here is to produce a comprehensive and inclusive list. The list below gives an idea of a maximal left-wing philosophy, like a platonic ideal.
