Libya, appears to me to be a US-UK venture, having little to do with Gaddafy. Rather, in significant part it is driven by the goal of squelching potential and logical French influence in the in the Middle East and its leadership in accommodating (establishing the terms of integration) Islam in Europe and the West.

Mr Malloch-Brown is one of the few legitimate contenders to Anglo statesmanship in this era. But I find the following to be misleading in trying to make the case that this was a worthy mission, but too hard to bring off diplomatically. I believe these to be talking points.

Mark Malloch-Brown: Diplomatic ‘triumph' at the UN is unravelling already

The Council might have begun by contemplating two clear political alternatives and then developing a military strategy that flowed from that choice

Phi Beta Iota: The sweeping public movements across North Africa and the Middle East are if anything an indictment of what one author calls the “fifty-year wound” and a validation of what another author calls the “unconquerable world.”  Vastly more benevolent strategic imperatives, such as Ambassador Mark Palmer's vision for providing all 44 dictators with an exit strategy (42 of them “best pals” of the USA at this time), have been ignored.

Provocatively entitled “The Fight for Reality” Russian Television (a very effective counterpart to Voice of America) is on the air in a very pro-Gaddafi series that accuses Western media of lying and hyping the situation with blatant mis-information.

Russia Confirms NO LIBYAN AIR ATTACKS Have Taken Place At All

In other news, one of Gaddafi's sons is saying that Libya financed the election of the “clown” that is now President and they want their money back.

 

US Intelligence a Clipping Agency–A Bad One

Dr. Stephen Blank, one of America's top experts on Russia and the former satellites of the USSR, likens US Intelligence to a clipping service, a very bad one.  He itemizes the recent failures of US Intelligence and observes that anyone in the audience he was addressing in NYC could have written a better threat estimate than that presented by the Director of National Intelligence recently to Congress.  Includes video of his full answer to the question about US Intelligence.

Research and Markets: Global Trends 2010 Trend Report: Shapers & Influencers – Academic Institutions

May 2010 newly offered 18 March 2011

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Global Trends 2010 Trend Report: Shapers & Influencers – Academic Institutions” report to their offering.

The world's next generation of young adults will not only be the largest ever, but also have received more schooling than any before.

The quantity, quality and focus of education will strongly influence future global development. There will be rising needs for trained teachers. Advances in communication and information technologies will quicken the dissemination of knowledge globally, giving rise to opportunities for cross-border education, as well as a greater need for lifelong learning to maintain a competitive edge in skills and knowledge.

A further influence on education will be the rise of collective versus individual intelligence as people worldwide seize the potential to tap into diverse sources of learning and knowledge simultaneously across the world, through both formal and informal networks. In this environment, the balance of influence of national curriculum boards and governments on education will decrease, while that of educational providers, parents, learners, learning channels and networks and global thinkers will increase.

Phi Beta Iota: Emphasis added.  The trend not yet visible to others is the inevitable convergence of education, intelligence (decision-support) and research into one coherent openly-managed network that optimizes multinational (multilingual) multiagency multidisciplinary multidomain information-sharing and sense-making (M4IS2).

What Is HAARP? 9:51 Japan Video Reality Check

Earthquake caused by HAARP?

Tesla Scalar Wave billion watt generator arrays exist and are used for earthquake generation and weather control. People on the ground, before the earthquake event, see ionization in the sky (like the aurora borealis, but visible in the daytime). Then they see what looks like ball lightning striking the ground, then they experience the earthquake or natural disaster.  Watch 9:51 Video.

Phi Beta Iota: As with 9/11, this is part of a growing body of public information that calls into question the integrity of all named parties, and suggests the need for weapons of mass destruction inspections in depth (not a phony open house).  We regard this video as an earnest personal effort that is very informed but also very incomplete.  We include electromagnetic weaponry and neutralization measures in Advanced Cyber/Information Operations.  It also qualifies for the IO Idiocy label–the lunacy continues.

Phi Beta Iota: Chernobyl and Bho Pal did not have the same cascade effect as today's nuclear events (five of them) in Japan.  The global supply chain vulnerability has grown to the point of severe dysfunctionality in the face of a major disruption.  Rising oil prices may also change the affordability of out-sourced parts, one reason we are so interested in the Open Farm Technology initiative.  Despite over a decade of recommendations to be more thoughtful about this, entire industries continue to ignore both “true cost” information and supply chain choke point information.
