Obama and the State of the Onion Address
Apparently, the President had ingested some kind of weird drug, because when he stepped to the podium he didn’t look at the teleprompter. He just started talking.
“…like every other recent President, when I take to this platform I’m expected to tell a certain number of lies dressed up as the truth. And believe me, folks, I had a few whoppers ready to go.
“But now I feel like doing something else. I’m not going to delve into the many scandals of my administration, because examining them and taking them apart and exposing the lies would keep us here all night and into tomorrow.
“Instead, I just want to explain my overarching agenda. It’s the same agenda every modern President has fronted for. I’m not really doing anything new. That’s a myth.
“You see, in order to become President in the first place, I had to sign on to the scheme to debase, throttle, and weaken this country. I have my methods. Every President has his own.
NOTES:
Industrial era institutions have failed — need a new way of organizing.
Liquid demoracy, liquid feedback delegates trust.
Politics about decision-making but no software captures how decisions are made and carried forward.
AGENCY is the deinstituionalization (disintermediation) os as to move agency back to the people.
Institutions cannot currently interact with networks (e.g. “outreach” stinks)
GOAL is to replace institutions with P2P protocols.

First Perturbations of Resistance to the Encroaching Police State?
This short Youtube video shows some cop cars nearby a club at night, and the cops in the cars are apparently monitoring those entering or emerging from the club, all of whom are peaceful and causing no trouble. Some men decide to approach the cop cars and issue the kinds of threatening questions innocent motorists stopped by the police routinely receive, “Is there anything illegal you in your vehicle, can I search your vehicle?”, etc. After a short time of this treatment, the cops leave. Some of the comments on this video urge watchers of it to spread the word and organize similar types of such incidents against other cops. This make me wonder: is this incident an early warning signal of mass citizen resistance to government-corporate tyranny? If this kind of action catches on, it may well be.
Privacy Board Urges New Criteria for Secrecy
The public controversy that erupted over NSA bulk collection of Americans’ telephone records was a clear sign, if one were needed, that the boundaries of government secrecy had been drawn incorrectly, and that the public had been wrongly denied an opportunity to grant or withhold its consent in such cases.
To remedy this systemic problem, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board said in a new report yesterday that the government needs to develop new criteria for secrecy and openness.
