4th Media: Saudi Arabian-Pakistani-White House Complicity in 9/11 Exposed — Redacted Pages of 9/11 Joint Congressional Committee Inquiry Now Public

07 Other Atrocities, 09 Terrorism, Corruption, Government, Military
Eric Walberg

Last week, Congressmen Walter Jones and Stephen Lynch introduced a resolution urging President Obama to declassify the legendary “28 redacted pages of the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry of 9/11” issued in late 2002, which point to official Saudi involvement in 9/11.

After much lobbying, and under an oath of secrecy, Jones was allowed to read the censored document: “I was absolutely shocked by what I read. What was so surprising was that those whom we thought we could trust really disappointed me.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Call for Germany to Leave the EU and NATO – Confront US Over Perpetual Unwarranted War

The U.S. Drives the World Toward War

Washington has had the US at war for 12 years: Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and almost Syria, which could still happen, with Iran waiting in the wings.

These wars have been expensive in terms of money, prestige, and deaths and injuries of both US soldiers and the attacked civilian populations.

None of these wars appears to have any compelling reason or justifiable explanation.

The wars have been important to the profits of the military/security complex.

The wars have provided cover for the construction of a Stasi police state in America, and the wars have served Israel’s interest by removing obstacles to Israel’s annexation of the entire West Bank and southern Lebanon.

04 Education, Academia, Civil Society, Collective Intelligence, Commerce, Commercial Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, Gift Intelligence, Peace Intelligence

smartplanet logoOnly four percent complete massive open online courses: setback or growing pains?

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have relatively few active users, and  user engagement falls off dramatically, especially after the first one to two weeks weeks of a course. Ultimately, only a handful of users persist to the course end.

That's the gist of a recent study from a University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE) study. The study's authors, Laura Perna and Alan Ruby, analyzed the movement of a million users through sixteen Coursera courses offered by the University of Pennsylvania from June 2012 to June 2013.

What role for banks in a sharing economy of social capitalism?

Chris Skinner

I was struck yesterday, as I presented my themes around Digital Bank at a conference, that there’s one area I’ve discussed for a long time, but not blogged about much in-depth.

That is the collision of community with commerce via the sharing economy.

Sepp Hasslberger: Copenhagen Wheel Stores Energy, Revolutionizes Biking

This is essentially a new back wheel that can transform any bike into an electric-assisted vehicle, making it easier to pedal up those hills…

See The Invention That Just Changed Biking Forever

The most common reason why people don’t bike is the amount of energy needed to do it.

Developed by researchers at MIT, this device snaps onto your bike and helps you conserve energy.  And it does it in an ingenuous, remarkable way.

It’s called the Copenhagen Wheel, and it stores the energy that you already use, and saves it for when you need it most.  Hills become flat, and you no longer have to expel loads of energy to get around.  Curious?  Watch the video for more information.
