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.)

What's a slogan for (banal on purpose)

At MWC, Claes Magnusson saw the following slogans on 25 different high tech booths (companies like IBM, HP, etc.)

Built Around People, Shaping Tomorrow With You, Leading A Smarter Planet, Your Messages Shape Our Future, Now What?, The Power Of Now, Today Changes, Power To You, Powering The Smartphones Of Tomorrow, Just Add Friends, Connecting the world enabling value, Creating experiences TOGETHER, Delivering Tomorrow's Experiences Today, No Longer Just An Idea, Bringing You Closer, Smart Devices, Simple World , Innovation Delivered, Simply Your Solution, The Future Changes Everyday, Take Charge Of Profits, Simply Different, Deploy Everywhere, There Is Here, Discover What's Possible, and No Hidden Surprises

What are they for? Do they mean anything at all?

I think the big company corporate slogan is like heavy paper on the annual report, white space on the billboard and a suit on the sales rep. It's a signal, a sign that the company is big, that it's able to waste time dreaming this stuff up and waste money yelling about it. No one actually reads the slogan (at Yoyodyne, the internet company I founded in 1992, our stolen slogan was, “Where the future begins tomorrow.” It was written on our business cards and everything. I don't think 1 person in a 100 commented on it).

Not everything you do actually gets a response. In fact, most of it doesn't. But each effort is a tiny brick in the wall of perception, even when it appears to be dumb and even senseless.

Phi Beta Iota: The working slogan for Earth Intelligence Network (E Veritate Potens–From Truth We the People Are Empowered) is now joined by a new slogan (needs scholarly checking) that focuses on Phase I of Revolution 2.0:

Conexa Sunt Unum (Connected We Are One)

HOW TO COMMUNICATE IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN THE INTERNET

02-07-2011 8:48 pm – Wallace

Liberty News Online

Scenario: Your government is displeased with the communication going on in your location and pulls the plug on your internet access, most likely by telling the major ISPs to turn off service.

This is what happened in Egypt Jan. 25 prompted by citizen protests, with sources estimating that the Egyptian government cut off approximately 88 percent of the country's internet access. What do you do without internet? Step 1: Stop crying in the corner. Then start taking steps to reconnect with your network. Here’s a list of things you can do to keep the communication flowing.

16+ Projects & Initiatives Building Ad-Hoc Wireless Mesh Networks

For those interested in alternative internet infrastructures, I’ve been assembling a list of projects and initiatives working to build mesh network solutions, as well as communities and resources around this topic. I’ve also posted this on Quora. Please feel free to add any projects I’ve missed. We’re hoping to understand the landscape of this initiative and how these projects & communities can better coordinate their efforts, in preparation for the Contact Conference in NYC this October 20, 2011.

Projects:

– Open Mesh Project – building a mesh network for Egypt
– Open Source Mesh – group looking at how to build a reliable open source meshing software
– B.A.T.M.A.N. – better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking; routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks
– Roofnet – 802.11b/g mesh network in development at MIT CSAIL
– GNUnet – framework for secure p2p networking that doesn not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services
– Dot-P2P – a free, decentralized, and open DNS system
– SMesh – seamless wireless mesh network being developed at John Hopkins University
– Coova – open source software access controller for captive portal (UAM) and 802.1X access provisioning
– Babel – a loop-free distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6 & IPv4
– SolarMESH – solar powered IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN mesh network  and relaying infrastructure solution
– WING – wireless mesh network for next-generation internet; partially built on Roofnet
– Daihinia – a tool for WiFi; turns a simple ad-hoc network into a multi-hop ad-hoc network
– P2P DNS – building a distributed p2p DNS system
– Digitata.org – develop an inexpensive infrastructure (low bandwidth internet terminals) for basic internet exposure to children in African countries
– Netsukuku – an ad-hoc netowork that uses only WiFi connectivity and a specifically-built adddress system that allows direct communications between machines without resorting to the HTTP protocol
– Tonika – open source organic network project; administration-free platlform for large-scale open-membership (social) networks with robust security, anonymity, resilience and performance guarantees

Strategic Phasing Toward World Brain & Global Game

11 Society, Autonomous Internet, Mobile, Real Time

Phi Beta Iota: We now see a three-phase path for creating the World Brain and Global Game.

Phase  One, which we now recognize must be first, is to create the aggregate people power to overcome secular corruption that is the source of all scarcity and conflict, is the distribution of simple free open source cellular access to the five billion poor. This includes both OpenBTS as a new global standard, and solar-powered mesh Internet that cannot be shut down by governments, corporations, or predatory non-governmental organizations.

Phase Two is not smart phones–an overpriced over-complex toy for the one billion rich–but rather the creation of national, regional, and virtual call centers that can both educate the poor one cell call at a time, and harness the distributed intelligence of all humans in all languages all the time–the back office functions and the desktop analytics of this second tier of intermediate processing are critical to machine speed information sharing and sense making.

Phase Three must be the application of the Strategic Analytic Model in conjunction with the establishment of “true cost” information for every product and service, and the coincident establishment of local water, power, and currency options that begin to dismantle the dysfunctional grid that wastes half of what it moves in the movement.
