American Mass Media: 24 Hours of Non-Stop Lies, Obfuscations, and Omissions
Is there anything in all of human history that is quite like American mass media in its power and capacity to pump out – through gigantic electronic fire hoses for 24 hours a day, every day of the week – lies upon lies (to paraphrase the Koranic “light upon light”) and obfuscations and yet still manage, above all, to omit and cover up the truth, especially the most important truths, whatever the subject matter? This article confirms my increasing conviction EVERYTHING the mass media says is a lie, nothing they say can be believed, and that any news that is true and important is ALWAYS omitted and covered up.

Berto Jongman: NSA Lies, NSA Crushing Dissent
07 Other Atrocities, Civil Society, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Government, Military
Two stories, two sides of how NSA is seen by many.
Everyone should know just how much the government lied to defend the NSA
A web of deception has finally been untangled: the Justice Department got the US supreme court to dismiss a case that could have curtailed the NSA's dragnet. Why?
[NSA] Spying Is Meant to Crush Citizens’ Dissent, Not Catch Terrorists
EXTRACT
In his new book, No Place to Hide, Glenn Greenwald writes:
The perception that invasive surveillance is confined only to a marginalised and deserving group of those “doing wrong” – the bad people – ensures that the majority acquiesces to the abuse of power or even cheers it on. But that view radically misunderstands what goals drive all institutions of authority. “Doing something wrong” in the eyes of such institutions encompasses far more than illegal acts, violent behaviour and terrorist plots. It typically extends to meaningful dissent and any genuine challenge. It is the nature of authority to equate dissent with wrongdoing, or at least with a threat.
The record is suffused with examples of groups and individuals being placed under government surveillance by virtue of their dissenting views and activism – Martin Luther King, the civil rights movement, anti-war activists, environmentalists. In the eyes of the government and J Edgar Hoover’s FBI, they were all “doing something wrong”: political activity that threatened the prevailing order.
Jean Lievens: Interview with Ricardo Semler Pioneer of Organizations of Free People
03 Economy, 04 Education, Civil Society, Commerce, Commercial Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence
A full interview with Ricardo Semler by the Dutch TV-show Backlight. In our episode ‘The capital power of hapiness' we made a portrait of this Brasilian business man. Here you can watch the full interview of one hour and a half. Mostly unedited, but divided in chapters.
This man is Semco's business guru, and known for his development of leadership by omission.
Offers major insights into education as well as business — structures that focus on “managing” large groups of people, especially children, are not focusing on their core mission — creating value or teaching. A society's “constraints” and blinders begin embedding at the age of two — that is the starting point for creating a Smart Nation of free spirits instead of sheep.

WARNING NOTICE: The ICLCJ is an informal group with no legal standing among nations. It is representative of the emergence of disruptive alternatives to the corrupt “legal” systems now in place. It is also representative of a growing body of grassroot public concern about pedophilia as an elite privilege that is enabled by elements of the Catholic Church and deliberately tolerated by national law enforcement agencies. Of growing concern is the spread of pedophilia into the ranks of local law enforcement and fire fighting networks that include many volunteers.
