TWELVE BREAK-THRU’S OF THE NEXT DECADE

Opportunities on the event horizon

1. Oil companies realize they are liquid transportation companies and start to move fresh water to needy places on the planet.

2. Major engineering companies respond to rising seas and create canals that take the excess water into barren lowlands inside the continents where it is needed.

3. The national military forces of the planet merge to form natural security teams and restore their respective parts of the earth’s forests, plant life, watersheds, wildlife and the biosphere above all that.

4. That schools recognize that content is already available on line and change their courses to life skills, learning based pursuits, and a new partnership with nature.

5. That Universities build upon the science of conscious evolution, a visionary mindset, and life force living intelligence and then structure their experience based curricula to that end.

6. That government decentralizes into bioregions and organizes military units, school kids, fire departments and others to generate food foraging forests in all available sites for complete global food security.

7. That neighborhoods take on a wide variety of energy producing solutions to become fully independent but not totally separate from the power grid.

8. That web-based democracies attend to their regionally based constituents and use the global web intelligence system to optimize local living.

9. That railheads, airports, and warehouses converge to be able to launch global air rescue missions that deliver major emergency living villages to all peoples globally within hours of a disaster.

10. That the global public achieves a clear unifying identity and the pre-emptive political power to defang the nuclear arsenal and its fear based factions while offering alternative product lines for the military industrial complex.

11. That we accept the notion that life is more likely to exist in the galaxy than not and prepare for the real benefits of new connections.

12. That we embrace a new level of profound simplicity and reintroduce creativity as a replacement for things and mindless entertainment.

I call Shenanigans

"Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!"

don't you think it's time we stopped assuming all these shenanigans are an accident.....

Good business, or good at business does not translate to "good". Just because Walmart is making money doesn't make them good. They are a vulture picking at the bloated carcass of the american populous, left to starve on the side of the road while our policy makers turn a blind eye as they drive past.

How long can these things continue to go on before you start to question their motives, rather than their faculties?

Let's take this debt ceiling thing for example. When the U.S. needs money they don't just "raise the debt ceiling." That's what they tell you because they want you to think we are a sovereign nation which determines it's own destiny. But the truth is when the U.S. needs money it goes to the bank, just like you do. If the U.S. is having a debt crisis it's because the bank won't give them any money.

All this stuff you see on the "news" is just a bunch of actors who are paid to make you think that the reason we have a problem is because the republicans and the democrats can't get along.

The armed forces are deployed in 150 countries across the globe. All this talk about cutting medicare and closing schools and no mention of cutting back on defense spending? You really think this is an accident? You really think that the policy makers are morons.

They promised you A, they delivered B, again. For the millionth time, and here we are. "It's an accident, they're a bunch of idiots."

Walmart pays it's employees poorly, it has very few benefits, it's systemically bigoted against women. It sells 3rd rate goods made of 3rd rate materials, assembled by the poorest and most abused people in the 3rd world. We call it good business.

I think we need to re-examine who the idiots are.

Let me give you an personal example. When the republicans were dealing with their worst image crisis in years thanks to 8 years of Bush. Obama was about to take the white house and the democrats would take the house and senate. Republican rosters were at their lowest and they needed numbers the worst. I registered republican so that I could take part in the primary. I went to the republican party website and I registered directly with them and do you know what happened? They lost my applications. Do you know why? Because It was an accident? Or because I was going to vote for Ron Paul?

Trophy winning deserts.

For women, sex is a cookie. A simple reward given many times over her life time. A treat quickly devoured and quickly forgotten. The event is further minimized by her ability to sneak a cookie from the jar when no one is looking. The thrill for her is the desire and secrecy, the knowledge that she can have a cookie when ever she wants, despite what some may say is good for her.

For men, sex is a ribbon, some times even a trophy. A hard fought victory over ones peers, a rare occasion to be celebrated and remembered. There are no easy victories for it is the contest or hunt which the trophy represents. The trophy it's self is only a representation of the journey which harvested it. The more the better some may say.

The pastry can be delicious, it can be homemade, it can be loving. Too often it is cheap and empty.

The trophy can be glorious and proud. It can mean a job well done. Too often it is just an object, among many.

Last Train To Clarksville

Last chance to get your money out of the markets and dollar delineated assets. My take on the situation was that it would happen before the middle of November. I just received word that the dollar will be re-valued on Wednesday. I don't have any way of knowing if it's true or not... but here is what I do know.

The fiscal year for the U.S. ends on Thursday. The world market has stopped purchasing U.S. Bonds and they are out of options. A friend of mine recently had dinner with Ben Bernanke's wife Anna and she reported to him that they are working 24 hours a day and things are rough. The congressional budget report that was issued last month states that it's authors would be surprised to see the U.S. make it past December.

Here is the most recent post by http://benjaminfulford.net/ which sums things up nicely.

"The world is heading for an unprecedented period of global geopolitical turbulence as the clock ticks on the bankruptcy of the Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate. The signs include: the resignation of most of the real powers in the Obama administration, the dispatch of a large Council on Foreign Relations brown-nosing squad to China, the removal of Queen Elizabeth’s control over her own finances, a power struggle in China, North Korea and Japan, mass riots in Europe, regime change in Brazil, etc. There also now conflicting signs as to whether or not the Amero will go ahead as planned with some sources saying they only have 12% of the gold they need to back it while other sources say “it is a done deal.” All in all, this is going to be an interesting week as we wait to see how the Feds hope to get past the September 30th fiscal year end."

I read a lot of things I think people should know, but I rarely send them out because they are often a lot to swallow and they are predicated on a lot of other things that are also difficult to swallow. Most of the time the reason I send something out is that I personally believe that it has a better chance of not happening if a bunch of people know about it. But I don't think that this applies here.

My feelings on the subject are this. If we want to the world to get better, things are going to have to stop, turn around, and start moving the other direction. I, being the eternal optimist, think that this is an inevitability, it is only a question of when.

Shared Experience

I'm watching a friend use his computer as a phone. He Is talking about music with his friend who is equally engaged in the local music scene. He describes a web site then proceeds to go to that web site and listen to music on it. This music is playing over the phone (computer) and they are just talking about how cool this is.

In the past you would have to find your friend later and tell him, I found this great music, or movie or just had this great conversation. These days you can call or email them and only moments later they can be seeing or hearing the same thing you just did. The gap between the event and the moment when you recollect and share this moment with your friends is closing. Now you can be experienceing a moment and you can contanct a friend and share that moment with them in real time.

As this gap continues to close, as the time it takes to have and experience and then share it with your friend, the closer we come to the "shared experience." A moment in time shared by two people in which the moment and the sharing of that moment happen simultaneously.

Soon you will be able to move your friends computer for them and they will watch you surf the web. You will be able to whitness the same thing as your friend. No longer will you be sharing media content but you will be sharing an internet experience.

too busy, too broke...

I'm so busy that it feels like I'm doing nothing... probably because what I'm doing is not what I want to be doing. The things that I want to do don't produce funds, so I can't do them till what I am doing does, which it hasn't.

Burning Man... not doing that.
