Robert Steele’s Trip Report: Oslo & Copenhagen
Editor’s Note: Previously published here at Defence and Intelligence Norway are Introducing Robert David Steele (1 April 2016) and Steele Goes Nordic (12 April 2016).
On 17-18 April in Oslo I participated in three meetings; the first a dinner including a Colonel, the second with the editor of Scandanavian Daily, and the third a luncheon previously announced and open to the public. On 19-20 April in Copenhagen I briefed and interacted with mid-career officers from the military, police, and national intelligence elements of the Danish government. I was interviewed by the Ministry of Defence public affairs team, and off-line by DR2 a national television station. A 13 minute video of the first interview, and a 59 minute video of the full briefing to the military audience, are now free online.
Here are my impressions:

This is what I am taking to the Nordics.
Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE)
Robert D. Steele, Earth Intelligence Network
Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE) is affordable, inter-operable, and scalable to the five billion poor now neglected by industrial-era engineers. Data-driven, a design revolution could enable the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) within a decade – two at most – at 1/10th the cost of the current paradigm. An Open Source (Technologies) Agency is proposed as a starting point for the second industrial-informational revolution.

Welcome to the NewEconomyCardDeck Wiki
The New Economy Card Deck is intended to allow everyone, regardless of prior expertise or familiarity, to play with the kinds of thinking that is going on between transformational economists who are looking closely and critically at our existing economic paradigm and exploring both small tweaks and wholesale alternatives.
Each card in the deck describes an economic concept in simple terms. The cards make economic design elements tangible and accessible in order to facilitate games and “what if” questions — such as “what if the world actually worked like this…how would it change my professional practice, my life, my world?” The intention is for people to begin to see the economy as a design problem we can solve rather than an unquestioned paradigm that we simply have to accept and attempt to survive within — and then move beyond that into thinking how we can, in our lives, begin to shift into the new patterns we now see as possible and preferable.
Preserved Poop Points Way to Hannibal's Path
The question of precisely where the historically acclaimed general Hannibal and his army crossed the Alps into Italy to defeat the Romans — during the Second Punic War, around 218 to 201 B.C. — has perplexed historians for nearly 2,000 years. Thanks to a new study, the first evidence pointing to an answer has finally been unearthed. Clues to Hannibal’s secret military route were recently discovered — not in maps or letters, but in the geologic record. But it wasn’t exactly rocks that revealed the full story. Scientists dug up signs of Hannibal’s passage in preserved poop deposits, from a churned-up stretch of boggy terrain that likely served as a watering hole and toilet for the army’s resting animals.
