The techno-narcissism of predatory neoliberal capitalism is locked into an endless war with the bastard monster of its own creation – Islamic State. Fifteen years into the 21st century, humanity has made little progress in addressing major threats to civilisation. In fact, on terrorism, climate change and the economy, we're not making progress at all, but making things worse.
The CIA was fooled by scores of double agents pretending to be working for the agency but secretly loyal to communist spy agencies during the Cold War and beyond, according to a former CIA analyst, operations officer, and historian. The large-scale deception included nearly 100 fake CIA recruits in East Germany, Cuba, as well as the Soviet Union (and later Russia) who supplied false intelligence that was passed on to senior U.S. policymakers for decades.

The project was founded in Germany in 1978. In 1995 it moved to Portugal. Today 170 people live and work on a property of 330 acres. The founding thought was to develop a non-violent life model for cooperation between human being, animal and nature. Soon it became clear that the healing of love and of human community had to be placed at the center of this work. Sexuality, love and partnership need to be freed from lying and fear, for there can be no peace on Earth as long as there is war in love. The ecological and technological research of Tamera includes the implementation of a retention landscape for the healing of water and nature, as well as a model for regional autonomy in energy and food. Through the Global Campus and the Terra Nova School we are working within a global network on the social, ecological and ethical foundations for a new Earth – Terra Nova.
No words can express the sadness we all felt after the attacks that targeted France on 13 November. Facing the irreparable, and more than ever, the strategic vacuum the question arises. I am pleased to participate in a conference whose objective is to encourage the study and practice of the strategy, as part of this collective initiative that was the Encyclopedia of strategy.
A strategic vacuum is a situation where the economic models, societal, “strategic” cease to provide relevant answers to a crisis involving the sustainability of a company, of a political, economic or military. It is, in mirror, a window of opportunity for those who exploit the lack of direction, the confusion of beliefs, the vulnerability of a social or economic fabric prey to superstitious beliefs, or dismayed by the repetition of peoples empty.
