KINDLE: Can John Kasich Win by Championing Electoral Reform?

99 cents — the lowest price Amazon will allow for 9 page eye-opener.

The endorsement of John Kasich by the New York Times — and the varied reasons for disqualifying Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio — open the way for the only candidate that has been a Governor and created a balanced budget to first win the Republican nomination and then win over all others, most of whom are not Democratic party loyalists.

The looming indictment of Hillary Clinton for ordering, in writing, the by-passing of security protocols for thousands of classified messages, at least 22 of which are in the sensitive compartmented / special access domain, opens the way for a serious national conversation leading toward a sanity nomination on the right and a justice accommodation on the left — it's time we restore integrity to our electoral process and give true inclusive democracy a chance.

Kasich's early validation in the primaries would also dissuade Michael Bloomberg from running — and Kasich is probably the only candidate capable of easing Bloomberg's legitimate concerns about the field that Tom Friedman described in his article, “None of the Above.”

Hope For Imagining a World Beyond Corporate Control

Finding ways to democratically control our common wealth, from Quebec to India

An excerpt from the recent book SOS: Alternatives to Capitalism (New Internationalist Publications).

The commons is not just a battlefield between corporate predators and those who resist them – it is also a source of hope for those willing to imagine a world beyond capitalism. It represents a space between the private market and the political state in which humanity can control and democratically root our common wealth. Both the market and the state have proved inadequate for this purpose. In different ways, they have both led to a centralization of power and decision-making. Both private monopolies and state bureaucracies have proved incapable of maintaining the ecological health of the commons or managing the fair and equitable distribution of its benefits.

Owl: Zika Virus May be First GMO Disaster of Planetary Ecosytem

Zika Virus May be First GMO Disaster of Planetary Ecosytem

Recent media reports of the explosive and alarming spread of the Zika virus appears to be due, according to this report, to the release of genetically modified mosquitos into the wild, which resulted from cross-breeding of the GM mosquito released with wild mosquitos, creating favorable conditions for the Zika virus to propagate itself. The area of Brazil where the GM mosquitos were released is the very same area where the “out of the blue” Zika outbreak emerged. In releasing the mosquitos in the wild, Maryland company, Intrexon, recently purchased by British company, Oxitec, failed to test what would happen from the unprecedented action of releasing Frankenstein mosquitos. No one anticipated the mosquitoes that were supposed to be infertile and die off are replicating and infecting humans with this horrific virus. We may be witnessing – and soon suffering over a massive area, or the entire planet – from the first large-scale GMO disaster of our ecosystem. Another article below states eugenics maven Bill Gates gave grant money to Oxitec, hence this may not be a “accident” if it results in population reduction.

Yoda: You Nation’s IQ Matters More

yoda with light saberWhy your nation’s IQ matters more than your own

We know that intelligence matters at the level of the individual, impacting performance in school, work, and life. Decades of research supports that point. But what if your personal intelligence level doesn’t matter as much as the average level of intelligence of the country in which you live? This is what economist Garett Jones of George Mason University calls the “paradox of IQ” in his new book Hive Mind: How Your Nation’s IQ Matters So Much More Than Your Own.

Phi Beta Iota: A great deal goes into creating a “Smart Nation.” We have not done anything in this direction since the first article appeared in 1996.

Deadly deception at Port Arthur

Investigator Joe Viallis uses hard military science to prove that Martin Bryant with an IQ of 66 could not have been responsible for the murders at Port Arthur or on the Arthur Highway, though he may have fired 250 wild shots from Seascape during the siege, every one of which failed to hit a target; a dramatic and obvious reversal of the real shooter's performance at Port Arthur during the afternoon of 28 April 1996. Martin Bryant killed no-one at Port Arthur but was deliberately set up as a patsy. All of the hard evidence at Port Arthur bears the distinctive trademark of a planned psyop intended to justify and make successful a massive buy-back of guns across Australia.
