A sponsor is sought for the purchase of 1000-2000 copies of THE OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING MANIFESTO: Transparency, Truth, & Trust. A hard copy of the book, or a watermarked digital copy, is available for examination.

Generally bulk purchases sell for 50% off retail. The books come 44 to a box. Where else can you reach 1,000-2,000 of the most adaptive intelligence people in the English-speaking world (with MANY internationals) for $5 each (estimated)?

The event takes place in 18-20 July 2013. The books, if to be distributed in hard copy, would require a special printing, hence 3 months advance arrangements recommended. Kindle copies are easier.

The traditional sponsor's sticker can be inserted by the publisher into the printed or digital copy thus eliminating that cost and that step.

Communicate directly with the publisher's representative, Ms. Janet Levin <jlevin@northatlanticbooks.com>.

Phi Beta Iota: The author, Robert Steele, who will take leave from Afghanistan to speak at HOPE, will be submitting his planned remarks to both the CIA Publications Review Board (PRB) and its DoD equivalent in ample time to secure approval. Although spontaneous remarks are not subject to pre-publication review, Steele will be erring on the side of prudence henceforth.

Marcus Aurelius: War Games Test 2 Versions of US Army — Current and Planned Army Loses Big, Innovation Army Triumphs

Ethics, Military, Officers Call, Strategy

War game compares response of 2 versions of future Army

By Lance M. Bacon Staff writer

Army Times, Nov. 25, 2013 – 06:00AM

A reduced reliance on airfields and seaports in a recent war game resulted in increased speed and entry operations.

New Gear: What’s next

If necessity is the mother of invention, get ready for a lot of new stuff. In the near term, that will include:
■ Getting the network into standard units.
■ More interoperable and user-friendly mission command.
■ Mobile and survivable command posts.
■ 3-D or 4-D printing to reduce logistic repairs.
■ Hands-free, heads-up displays so “people playing ‘Call of Duty’ [no longer] have an ability to access data our soldiers don’t.”

And that is just the start, according to Maj. Gen. Bill Hicks, deputy director for the Army Capabilities Integration Center. He described some “very promising” advances in science and technology after the conference. One was mo-lecular changes to reduce the weight of vehicle armor by half without lessening protection.

Have you ever heard of graphene? It would take an elephant balanced on a pencil to break through a sheet with the thickness (or thinness) of plastic wrap. Imagine using that as body armor.

The Innovation Group moved one-third of its force using two conceptual troop carriers. One was an ultra-heavy vertical takeoff-and-landing aircraft that would (theoretically) cut BCT deployment from 29 days to four. The other was a conceptual joint high-speed, shallow-draft ship expected to reduce sealift time by half.

David Sabow: Betrayal – Toxic Murder of USMC Personnel and Their Families

07 Other Atrocities, Corruption, Military, Officers Call

NARCOTRAFFICKING, MURDER AND TOXIC SOUP

In 1985 when TCE was found in several agricultural wells off of El Toro, Camp Lejeune on the East coast was forced to close down wells contaminated with TCE and other contaminants. As many as one million veterans and their dependents were exposed to Lejeune’s contaminated wells over 30 years (1953-1987). Congressional hearings and the testimonies of veterans and dependents pressured Congress to pass health care without any provision for disability compensation for Lejeune’s survivors. El Toro closed in 1999 and sold at public auction in 2005 is not on anyone’s radar.

At El Toro, over 40 years of water distribution engineering drawings and original well construction drawings are missing while the Navy and Corps support a fabrication that the base wells were abandoned over 60 years ago for municipal water—a scarce commodity in arid Southern California. The base wells were more likely than not still secured to El Toro’s water distribution system in 1985 when the Orange County Water District found TCE contaminated agricultural wells on and off the base. In 1986, El Toro at considerable expense had an agricultural and engineering firm redraw the entire set of water distribution engineering drawings. No base wells were in the 1986 engineering drawings.

BETRAYAL, self-published on Amazon was written by two former El Toro Marines, Robert O’Dowd, investigative reporter and Tim King, photo/journalist, war correspondent, and Executive News Editor of Salem-News.com.

There is a pathology prevalent in the Theocratic Right, a distrust of women. A need to subjugate and control them that is irrational yet strongly held. When I read this I found it hard to believe it could be true, but I checked and this report is correct. I actually found four stories along these lines and just chose this one. It is a very big trend in parts of the U.S., and it is amazing that it g! ets so little coverage.

Things which are based on paranoia, fear, and hate are inherently unbalanced and always produce unintended consequences that sabotage the perpetrator. Here is a classic example of the principle.
