The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
In Rajasthan, India, an extraordinary school teaches rural women and men —
many of them illiterate — to become solar engineers, artisans, dentists and
doctors in their own villages (and it trains children). It's called the
Barefoot College, and its founder, Bunker Roy, explains how it works.

NYC Port Authority Terminal, November 25, 2011

Returning from a bus trip, I walked passed a man with a machine gun outside of a “bakery” (pastry-type cafe). I walked up to him and asked why was he outside of a bakery with a machine gun. His only reply was “9/11.”
The Department of Defense spent and spends how many Billion$ (and Rumsfeld admitting he could not account for $2.3TRILLION on September 10, 2001) that did not prevent the September 11 attacks and this man with a machine gun is outside of a pastry shop telling me it's because of 9/11.
Is insane the “new normal?”

Lauren Anderson: the “We” of the our collaborative age will replace the “Me” of the industrial age
“Is this shift from the Me to the We as significant as the industrial revolution? And should we welcome this revolution with, so to speak, open arms?”
Lauren Anderson is the Innovation Director for Collaborative Lab, interviewed here by Andrew Keen:

Executive Summary:
Occupy has three demands:
1. Get money out of politics
2. Reverse the legalization of the corruption and crime in both banking and related industries (e.g. military-industrial complex.
3. Close loopholes that allow Congress to legally cheat the public at every turn by passing laws favoring their own investments.
Federal Government has federalized state and local law enforcement against its own citizens, and this endeavor is being run by NY Representative Peter King.
The “third rail” of the two-party tyranny has been exposed. A Civil War has begun, between the 99% and the 1%. With the exceptions of Kucinich and Paul Sr., Congress is with the 1%.
The shocking truth about the crackdown on Occupy
The violent police assaults across the US are no coincidence. Occupy has touched the third rail of our political class's venality
Naomi Wolf
The Guardian, 25 November 2012
US citizens of all political persuasions are still reeling from images of unparallelled police brutality in a coordinated crackdown against peaceful OWS protesters in cities across the nation this past week. An elderly woman was pepper-sprayed in the face; the scene of unresisting, supine students at UC Davis being pepper-sprayed by phalanxes of riot police went viral online; images proliferated of young women – targeted seemingly for their gender – screaming, dragged by the hair by police in riot gear; and the pictures of a young man, stunned and bleeding profusely from the head, emerged in the record of the middle-of-the-night clearing of Zuccotti Park.
Phi Beta Iota: Occupy must focus on King and burn him (metaphorically speaking) out of office. Then it must read/listen to the Open Letter to Occupy /* and place its full attention on the Electoral Reform Summit that will take place, it now appears that event will occur in Washington DC is a very prominent place easily accessible to broadcast television networks. The lines are drawn. Congress has turned against its own people, publicly.

How Ignorance, Greed and Ideology Are Warping Science and Hurting Democracy
“Whenever the people are well informed” an optimistic Thomas Jefferson wrote, “they can be trusted with their own government.” Sure – but what if the people have no clue?
Most of the big challenges facing America and the world today – from climate change to disease to population growth – revolve around science and technology. If we – We, the People – are going to make smart decisions on what to do about these problems, we need to have at least a rough understanding of the basic science involved. Problem is, we don't.
As science writer Shawn Lawrence Otto points out in a tough-minded new book, Fool Me Twice: Fighting the Assault on Science in America, too many Americans are either plain ignorant of science or actively hostile to it, or both.
Dear Occupiers: A letter from anarchists
(Intro) We’re inspired by the occupations on Wall Street and elsewhere around the country. Finally, people are taking to the streets again! The momentum around these actions has the potential to reinvigorate protest and resistance in this country. We hope these occupations will increase both in numbers and in substance, and we’ll do our best to contribute to that.
Comment: I think most people will be surprised after reading this that they have so much in common in viewpoint with those who proclaim to be “anarchists” 🙂
