Global voices online are leveraging hand-held and other technologies to make transparent both the good and the bad at the micro level. The public is being empowered and engaged with information and information tools. This transparency will both nurture ethical high-impact low-footprint projects, and expose corruption and “business as usual” fraud.
We've held off on inserting multi-lingual access to this web site, still under development, but since it and other sites can be easily translated using Google Translate among others, that has not been a priority.
This recommended website is mostly in French, and comes recommended by a past director of the French national policy planning staff, the youngest person to ever hold the position and one of the most brilliant scholar-practitioners of knowledge as an economic good (or bad) we've ever met.
FOLKS: I have three articles you should see. After nine years, the 9/11 Truth Movement is beginning to be taken seriously by the AntiWar movement.
I have published a primer on this issue that introduces the evidence to the curious.
And at this point, it's time to take the case to the courts. We are working on doing just that, starting with the case of Don Meserlian. We are using a law called “Misprision of Treason.”
Phi Beta Iota: There is absolutely no question that 9/11 was not properly investigated, and that adequate grounds exist to indict Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld for letting it happen and putting a missile into the Pentagon; and to indict Rudy Guliani and Larry Silverstein and their insurance company and security company collaborators for mudering most of those who died in NYC with controlled demolitions. We say indictment, not verdict. As with the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the murder of Martin Luther King, the Tonkin Gulf incident, the USS Liberty, and the USS Scorpion, the truth is certain to come out eventually, and that is a good thing–The truth at any cost reduces all other costs.

Starting in the fall of 2008, the Center for Investigative Reporting and The Center for Public Integrity fielded a team of reporters to examine how effectively governments at all levels had managed money and programs dedicated to homeland security. The result was a series of stories — and an interactive map — that have been combined into a single collaborative website
Phi Beta Iota: What we really admire is the team's organization: Editoral Team, Reporting Team, Fact Checking, Data Analysis, Web/Multimedia, Web Design, Media, and Funding.
The Ignite Show just posted episode 2, Kati’s Botanicalls Ignite NYC talk from back in September 2008 during Web 2.0 Expo. You may want to skip past the intro…and start at 1:33.
ScienceDaily (May 5, 2008) — Beginning this crop season, farmers will be able to receive text messages on their cell phones from their plants saying whether they are thirsty or not.
To communicate, probes in the soil emit electric waves. A voltage level based on the moisture content is sent through two wires to a circuit board that compares the optimum moisture level with the current one. A local network receives this data and allows the plant to send a message through the device.
Phi Beta Iota: We continue to believe that the US Government should integrate the totality of the federal budget under three Vice Presidents for, respectively, Commonwealth; Education, Intelligence & Research; and National Security. Changes to the Earth that used to take 10,000 years now take three, and the politicization of science and education, like the politicization of intelligence, has made us deaf, dumb, and blind to what really matters for the survival of humanity–the state of the Earth and the state of humanity on Earth.
