The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Transitioning from Extractive Capital Models to Generative Capital Models
A new discussion opened by Michel Bauwens with early contributions from Tiberius Brastaviceanu and Joshua Vial.
Transition Design as Holistic Science in Action
In the face of the converging crises of climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation, and unacceptable economic inequality and suffering – particularly in the global South – designers everywhere are called to assume a deeper responsibility for the impacts of their work. Designers are finally stepping up to the challenge that David Orr so aptly described in The Nature of Design (link is external). We are challenged to “redesign the human presence on Earth.”
. . .
“to make the World work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”

The GMO Big Lie dies on the vine
In May, the NAS issued a comprehensive report: “Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects.” The report’s key finding takes in the entire period of US cultivation of GMO crops:
“The nation-wide data on maize, cotton, or soybean in the United States do not show a significant signature of genetic-technology on the rate of yield increase.” — Chapter 6, Page 66.
A less ponderous translation: the genetic engineering of crops hasn’t resulted in rising output.
Invisible microparticles in food can deliver vaccines, drugs
I compare a patent application with what at least one company can deliver to the unknowing public now
US Patent application ‘US20080044481 A1’. “Microparticles for oral delivery.”
“The particles described herein can be used to deliver bioactive agents (e.g., nutrients, drugs, vaccines, antibodies, and the like), bacteria (e.g., probiotic bacteria), smaller particles, or substantially any other material to the animal.”
Materials scientists working on highly efficient catalysts to help produce hydrogen from water… envision abundant, cheap hydrogen as fuel..
Metal Foam Electrodes Split Water With Unprecedented Efficiency
By coating nickel foam with a nickel-iron nanosheets, scientists have made an efficient catalyst that could be used to produce hydrogen at the industrial scale.
I have been reflecting on the “legacy” of the past several presidencies at home and abroad. From where I set, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy — an assassination carried out by CIA and FBI officers allied with Cuban and Jewish criminals, Israel, and monied interests in Texas and New York — the US Government began to morph into a criminal deep state far more dangerous to the public interest than ever before.
Let's start with why JFK was assassinated and the assassination deliberately covered up by Lyndon Baines Johnson who also covered up the assassination of Martin Luther King and the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty (that may have been requested by LBJ to provide a false justification for war as the false Tonkin Gulf attack was used to justify war on Viet-Nam).
