In 2010, Hillary Clinton described social media as a new nervous system for our planet (1). So can the pulse of the planet be captured with social media? There are many who are skeptical not least because of the digital divide. “You mean the pulse of the Data Have’s? The pulse of the affluent?” These rhetorical questions are perfectly justified, which is why social media alone should not be the sole source of information that feeds into decision-making for policy purposes. But millions are joining the social media ecosystem everyday. So the selection bias is not increasing but decreasing. We may not be able to capture the pulse of the planet comprehensively and at a very high resolution yet, but the pulse of the majority world is certainly growing louder by the day.

Phi Beta Iota: As Dr. Meier's notes, right now only the “haves” can be thinking about this. However, we remain certain that a project such as The Virgin Truth, or a concerted effort by the Secretary General of the United Nations to inspire a global United Nations Open-Source Decision-Support Information Network (UNODIN), or an initiative by Secretary of State John Kerry to create the Open Source Agency (OSA), can change the information dynamics and information ethics of the Earth virtually overnight.

SchwartzReport: US Prison System — With or Without the Bars

03 Economy, 06 Family, 07 Other Atrocities, 09 Justice, 11 Society, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Government, Law Enforcement

Here we see the latest in the New American Slavery trend. In the South particularly a culture for the poor of school-to-prison is developing, pushed by the privatization of the prison system. All of this is creating a growing number of disaffected people who feel they have little or no stake in social stability. Additionally, as a result of these trends, the U.S. is beginning to appear internationally, as a Fascist polic! e state. Dealing with this is going to be one of the tests the Obama Administration will face, and history will not be kind to him if he fails.

Human Rights Watch decries U.S. prison system

The NGO's World Report criticizes mass incarceration and U.S. record of torture and extrajudicial killing

By Natasha Lennard

Salon, Thursday, Jan 31, 2013 10:25 AM EST

Human Rights Watch Thursday published its annual World Report, in which it lays out a pointed critique of the U.S. prison system. The enormous prison population — the largest in the world at 1.6million — “partly reflects harsh sentencing practices contrary to international law,” notes the report.

The 2013 World Report, a 665-page tome which assesses human rights progress in the past year in 90 countries, highlights particular issues undergirding the U.S.’s blighted carceral system. It notes that “practices contrary to human rights principles, such as the death penalty, juvenile life-without-parole sentences, and solitary confinement are common and often marked by racial disparities.” Via HRW:

Research in 2012 found that the massive over-incarceration includes a growing number of elderly people whom prisons are ill-equipped to handle, and an estimated 93,000 youth under age 18 in adult jails and another 2,200 in adult prisons. Hundreds of children are subjected to solitary confinement. Racial and ethnic minorities remain disproportionately represented in the prison population.

HRW cite statistics often used to show racial disparities in the U.S. prison system. For example, while whites, African Americans and Latinos have comparable rates of drug use, African Americans are arrested for drug offenses, including possession, at three times the rate of white men.

“The United States has shown little interest in tackling abusive practices that have contributed to the country’s huge prison population,” said Maria McFarland, deputy U.S. program director at Human Rights Watch. “Unfortunately, it is society’s most vulnerable – racial and ethnic minorities, low-income people, immigrants, children, and the elderly – who are most likely to suffer from injustices in the criminal justice system.”

Owl: US Pedophilia at Highest Levels — Catholic Archbishops as the Enablers — While FBI Turns a Blind Eye and Satanic Protestant Elite Syphon Kids from Child Protective Agencies with Insider Help

06 Family, 07 Other Atrocities, 09 Justice, 10 Transnational Crime, 11 Society, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Government, Law Enforcement, Media

A very high-level protector of priest pederasts, Cardinal Mahoney of the LA diocese, is being kicked out of his job: “Archbishop Jose Gomez said he had stripped his predecessor, the retired cardinal Roger Mahony, of all public and administrative duties.” More details here:

Catholic cardinal stripped of duties as LA diocese child abuse files released

Boing-Boing said: “The Archdiocese this week…removed Cardinal Roger Mahony from his duties, for his role in enabling and keeping quiet the methodical and widespread molestation. The removal is “unprecedented,” but many victims and advocates believe Mahony deserves greater punishment. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Curry, who helped Mahony hide abusers from police in the eighties, has resigned his post as regional bishop in Santa Barbara, California.”

More significantly, 12,000 pages of files have been released by the diocese to the public “more than a week after church records relating to 14 priests were unsealed as part of a separate civil suit, showing that church officials plotted to conceal the abuse from law enforcement agencies as late as 1987.”

To access the released files, click at end of sentence, then scroll down the page to the section labeled “Clergy Personnel Files”, and a list of names appears which link to the file of the named individual perpetrator priest:

Access Released Files

Most of the files are variously redacted, and many of the molesters have since died, but the files still offer some gruesome reading, given the victims were children and their molesters Roman Catholic priests.

Pierre Cloutier: Richard LE HIR – Is Canada Breaking Up? And NOT Because Quebec Wants It So?

Cultural Intelligence

Canada / Quebec 2013

Ready, not ready, independence is coming

The process of disintegration of the federation is on the verge of rapid acceleration

I say and repeat on all keys for three years here on Vigil, Canada is in trouble. You tell me that his situation is better or worse than many other countries, and I would say that the vast majority of other countries do not harbor them within a nation, recognized as such, which in his case, maintains the ambition to become independent from its conquest by the British on the Plains of Abraham in 1759.

That the intensity of this ambition has fluctuated over the years matter. What matters is that it exists and that it reflects a collective will to live deeply rooted, one of the criteria for the recognition of States under international law. This simple fact precarious Canada as some other countries.

Under these conditions, when events occur which have the effect of undermining its foundations, the question of the survival of Canada in its known form to that time arises. This is the case at present, to a degree that Canada has ever known, and certainly not during the two referendums held in Quebec in 1980 and 1995.

If the question of the survival of Canada then arose, it is only because of the threat posed to the integrity of the prospect of secession of Quebec. This secession, if it occurred, would have been the cause of the breakup of Canada.

Today, the question is quite different. Canada is the prey of both endogenous and exogenous forces, with which Quebec has little to do all of which contribute to its dislocation. Under such conditions, the secession of Quebec would not be the main cause of the breakup of Canada, but its consequences would be for Quebecers no longer an act of hostility against Canada and Canadians, but a reflex basic survival, a stampede is when the ship is sinking.

Owl: Pedophilia as “Privilege” and “Pure” — Single Source Page for Glimpse of Chasm Into Hell — Coast to Shining Satanic Coast – FBI Complicit? 1.5

A big problem in sharing even excellent, well-sourced information on the theme of pedophiles occupying the highest ranks of organizations, whether they be corporate, governmental or even religious, is not the sense of incredulity such information usually provokes in typically asleep middle-class readers who have lived relatively protected, cocooned existences oblivious to the innumerable black undersides of what some call reality. That's to be expected from those who live in middle-class cocoons. The real difficulty is in examining and sharing information on practices that are unarguably loathsome, depraved, vile, degenerate and in essence evil, and done by people we look upon as our highest and most respectable leaders. It's easy to accuse someone of evil, and it is insufficient by itself to do so. One has to provide evidence, and providing evidence entails describing something ineffably malign and almost unutterable in its horror – that's hard to do, by comparison, because except for those with a strong appetite or attraction to very, very dark things, a minority, no one else, understandably, wants to look at such things. People flee from what repels them, and what is more repellent than pederasts, especially those who have great power and privilege?

This undoubtedly largely has to do with living in a dominantly secular age. The influence of those who don't believe in a Divine Order or God is pervasive enough to compel the masses to assume the flip side: to take for granted there is no Devil, no source of deep, abiding non-human evil. Anything conveyed about people and their practices that smacks of a quality or degree of evil that puts the smug assumptions of modernity into doubt, that makes the Satanic much more plausible despite the stubborn persistence of modernity's assumptions about good and evil, is an object of terror and revulsion to the degree that modernity's values has descended into people's hearts and minds. Not that religious “authorities” can be counted on to protect innocent children. Note the Catholic Church's endless calls to stop abortion, which victimizes innocent children, they say, which is all well and good, but its compulsive, monotonic repetition of this meme seems to be a sign of a compensatory spilling-out of a guilty conscience for having permitted and protected the many pederast priests in its midst. They seem to ignore the more concrete or real crime in exchange for protesting the more abstract one when it comes to their most repeated phrase: innocent children. This happens likely because the real crime is done by their very own, at the center of power and control in the Church, by priests and their bishops.

For these and other reasons, getting the message out about pedophiles who are very powerful is more challenging and daunting than getting out information on any other category of crimes performed by members of the Elite. Yet the task should be done, if only as a microscopic, belated effort to help get some chance of justice for the countless and truly innocent children victimized and even tortured and killed by pederasts, especially those in the highest places, plus to help prevent new such crimes by the high and mighty especially.

Gold Transformer: Directed History: Lunacy or Truth?

Cultural Intelligence, Knowledge

I have mixed feelings about this, but it does make me wonder.

Directed History: Lunacy or Truth?

By Staff

The Daily

The Rise Of America's Lunatic Fringe … Anyone who spends any amount of time on the internet has seen them. They are the moonbats, the wingnuts, the whackjobs, the Conspiratorialists. They are America's new Lunatic Fringe, and their numbers are growing. While the rise of the internet fed a segment of society that has always existed, as the cyberworld has become an increasingly important source of both entertainment and information, an entirely new demographic has joined what was already amongst us. … When the trust is gone the Fringe becomes the mainstream. The government can no longer afford to ignore the Lunatic Fringe, because it is becoming less loon and more understandably and righteously indignant every day. The government did not create the Fringe, but through callous disregard, incompetence, blatant self-interest, cronyism, selective enforcement, and pandering to its financial support base, the government has fertilized the fringe until it has grown to redwood-like size. The nation's leadership is viewed not with admiration, but with distrust. It is no longer the solution, but the problem. – Chindit/Zero Hedge

Dominant Social Theme: It's getting crazier out there and somebody ought to do something.

Free-Market Analysis: Zero Hedge posted the article excerpted above, perhaps because the website's editors wanted to get a reaction on a slow news day. Zero Hedge is what we might call an alternative news site, so it is part of the trend that this editorial by Chindit (whoever that is) is identifying.

The article is interesting to us here at The Daily Bell because over the past ten years as we have actively participated in what we call the Internet Reformation, we've become believers in “directed history.” This is the idea that a small group of impossibly wealthy individuals and families are trying to create world government by orchestrating historical events.
