CONSCIOUS catalysts of social change are NONLINEAR change agents. They create generative spaces, make vibrant connections, ask juicy questions, raise awareness, invite engagement, open up what is hidden, evoke latent energies.
There are also UNCONSCIOUS nonlinear change agents. Sometimes LINEAR change agents end up stimulating nonlinear change by taking linear actions that unintentionally catalyze results that are totally different ā even the opposite ā from what they were trying to accomplish.
Trump claims to be an agent of change – and he is. But above and beyond what Trump and his movement think they are about, they – and the energetic reactions to them – are ALL catalysts for the disruption of whatās familiar and the emergence of something different. This will be true whether or not Trump becomes president, whether or not he does what he or his allies and enemies currently think he will do.
James Fallows, Uri Friedman, and Atlantic readers discuss the ramifications of a Trump presidency when it comes to the U.S.ās complicated relationship with China.

Here is the “official” narrative from the White House relying on CIA (John Brennan, not the many good honest people at CIA), as re-played by Crap News Network (CNN) and others, and enforced by Facebook, Google, and YouTube:
01 The Russians “hacked” the US election. Never mind that they never touched a voting machine, did not actually leak anything, and did not affect the voting outcome. Donald Trump is an illegitimate candidate who would not have won if all the emails about pedophilia, electoral fraud against Bernie Sanders, treason including classified information send to IP addresses in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and charity fraud had not come out.
02 All citizen reports and opinions that question the official narrative are “fake news” and should be treated as spam (much the way Zionists now mass to label all criticisms of Zionist atrocities in Palestine and Zionist bribery and blackmail of US officials as “spam” so as to repress these views).
03 The good news: a majority of the public now understands that all institutions but particularly the mainstream media and the US intelligence community, cannot be trusted to deliver the truth about anything.

This article is dedicated to Patrick Wood, author of Technocracy Rising, a book everyone should read. Yesterday. A bill introduced by the notorious Richard Pan, the mover and shaker behind the mandatory vaccination law in CA—this new one, SB18, is a grab-bag of generalities basically giving over care of children to the State [away from their parents]Ā . . .
