American Uprising or American Up-Wising?

5 Star, Democracy, Worth A Look

ANNOUNCING:

Two new books that articulate the foundation and the strategic framework for an authentically transpartisan movement-or-movements in America.

FOUNDATIONAL BOOK

ON GOVERNANCE, Cor Publicum: The Evolution of Res Publica, by Dr. Franca Baroni

“This book introduces a fundamentally new social contract.

It is a pathway into the center of a radically new system of Law and governance.

It is best comprehended with the intelligence of the Heart.”

Dr. Franca Baroni holds a J.D. equivalent and a doctorate in law from the University of Basle, Switzerland, and a master’s in comparative law (L.L.M.) from the University of Miami. She is a member of the New York Bar since 1999 and a member of the Swiss Bar since 1997. She is a certified mediator with the Supreme Court of Florida and a meditation and awareness guide, not aligned with any particular tradition. She lives in Seattle, Washington.

STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK BOOK

REUNITING AMERICA: A Toolkit for Changing the Political Game, by “conservatarian” Joseph McCormick and “pro-green-sive” Steve Bhaerman

Reuniting America: A Toolkit for Changing the Political Game is a manifesto for a “grassroots upwising,” a transpartisan movement-of-movements. It is the story of the eight year journey of a serious citizen on a quest to discern the principles and practices for transforming the political game from win/lose to win/win. It weaves bold truth telling about power, control and the game of politics with the enlightened humor of a jester willing to point out “the Emperor has no clothes.” As old top-down ways of governing prove inadequate in the face of increasing complexity, it is intended to direct attention to the early signs of a new, cooperative form of political behavior emerging from the bottom-up (beginning with green-progressives working with “conservatarians” to localize economic and political decision-making.)

Worth a Look: MasrLeaks Hunt for Mubarak Global Hidden Wealth and Directory of Corruption in Egypt

Worth A Look

With the success of the Jan 25 revolution, which brought down the Regime of Ex-President Hosny Mubarak, the state of Egypt is currently undergoing a purge for all the corrupt figures that surrounded that Regime. Corruption and Nepotism ran rampant there for 30 years, and the Mubarak Family amassed massive amounts of wealth during their totalitarian rule of Egypt. Now that this era is past us, it's time to hold accountable the Mubarak Family and all of those who aided them or benefited from them. This is where MasrLeaks comes in.

MasrLeaks is founded by Egyptian activists as an attempt to harness the power of the netzines to track down the properties and wealth of the Mubarak family, and other prominent regime figures. It also aims to create a directory for all corruption in Egypt, in order to facilitate and instill transparency in the Egyptian political culture. For the sake of fairness, MasrLeaks demands that any information submitted to it to be well sourced, and documented.

NEW WIKI

Phi Beta Iota: An anti-corruption wiki and a system for using Twitter and Facebook and SMS to back office web directories, all focused on reporting and erradicating corruption, appears to be inevitable.
