We will end this week's discussion of labor public policy having an emphasis on the upper-middle and newly merely rich by returning to the start of our discussion centered on today's ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

As all our US ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT 5% freemason/Greek players KNOW especially those FAKE 5% religious leaders marching in Washington DC pretending to be protecting the poor, immigrants, seniors, women, MUSLIMS and everybody that they are in fact THROWING UNDER THE BUS------THE CABAL has always meant global banking 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS.  The statement below sounding as if it addresses the future CIVIL DISASTER AND BRUTALITY of space mining slave colonies-----actually describes what CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA built these few decades as global slave trade to all Foreign Economic Zones being installed now in US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES as US national media pretends this is  TRUMP madness.

'Q12. You have referred to the Cabal “trading millions of kidnapped civilians from the surface (per year) to off world beings in exchange for technology.” Can you explain how this is done? Does it involve kidnapping street children in impoverished areas of countries like Brazil, India, etc., and/or children in developed countries like the US; and/or civilians in war zones; or is there another source of these kidnapped civilians'?


What happens as all those global 2% of Asian, Arabic, Latin American players pushed by their global 1% from their own nations to be REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN coming to US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES where our US 5% freemason/Greek players are ready to sack and loot their wealth in US cities?  What happens when those global 2% from Europe, US, and Canada pushed to Foreign Economic Zones overseas have Asian, Arabic, Latin American global 1% do the same to our Western newly merely rich and upper middle class?

THIS IS WHY 3000BC GLOBAL BANKING 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS' LAISSEZ FAIRE IS NOT 'CAPITALISM'.  IT IS BASED SOLELY ON THE GLOBAL 1% SACKING AND LOOTING ANY SOVEREIGN 99% OF CITIZENS BY CAPTURING, CORRUPTING, AND CREATING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES--AS THESE FEW DECADES OF CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA----NOW TRUMP.


This is why global banking 1% labelled global LAISSEZ FAIRE with another name----NEO-LIBERALISM as REAGAN/CLINTON captured both our US major Democratic and Republican Parties.

Below we see that global banking 1% FORTUNE MAGAZINE pretending LAISSEZ FAIRE is capitalism but what we have had these few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA was not.  KNOW WHAT?  There is no way to eliminate all Rule of Law, all morals and ethics in business, all pragmatism which is what LAISSEZ FAIRE has as a goal----and not end with CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA SACKING AND LOOTING.

Why today’s capitalism is no longer laissez-faire


By Dov Seidman  FORTUNE MAGAZINE
October 15, 2015




If ever we needed any evidence that we are undergoing a huge shift in the very nature of capitalism, how our economy is organized and what business fundamentally is, we need only look to how and how much new business language is being invented. While business often gets accused of being jargony, of creating unintelligible phrases, I think much more is going on with this flowering of ethically-minded language.



I believe, in fact, that we’re seeing a shift in the very underpinnings of the business world. We’ve arrived at a moment in time where those in business want “doing business” to mean much more than “It’s not personal. It’s strictly business” (to quote the Godfather.)


Today, by contrast, we are seeing the very human desire for an elevated purpose in all walks of life becoming prevalent in business, too. It’s a change that’s particularly well-timed to the evolution of the economy, fueled by revolutionary technology that makes unethical or irresponsible behavior increasingly difficult to hide. In fact, in today’s hyper-transparent, interdependent and fast-paced world, one of the best ways (sometimes the only way) to distinguish yourself from the competition is to be a force for social good. As a result, many business leaders have come to realize that to outbehave is also to outperform.



And so, leaders have been inventing more and more of what I call “transitional language” – new phrases that force us to look at traditional concepts, like “leadership” and “capitalism”, with fresh eyes — by adding on a specific “transitional” idea (usually as an adjective) like “ethical” or “conscious.” Think for example of ethical leadership, mindful leadership, sustainable development, ethical capitalism. The resulting concepts may be entirely new. But very often, we’re just rediscovering and focusing on something in a core concept’s essence from which we have become disconnected or to which we are no longer committed.


Consider two very popular new business phrases: “inclusive capitalism” and “conscious capitalism.” In the original construction of capitalism described by the late Scottish professor of moral philosophy Adam Smith, in The Wealth of Nations, great attention was given to the problems of poverty, the injustice of “masters” colluding to suppress the wages of workers, and other moral issues. So I’d argue that Smith’s classic concept of capitalism was already inherently inclusive, conscious, ethical and even moral.


Given the many abuses that have been associated with capitalism over the decades, deploying new transitional language to highlight the “inclusive” and “conscious” elements of the original idea gives a boost to those who want to encourage elevated business behavior.




It’s been a long journey from Smith’s idea of capitalism to “market capitalism,” “laissez faire capitalism,” “crony capitalism” and, lately, “patrimonial capitalism” – language that the economist Thomas Picketty has recently made well known in his critique of the system. At every turn, transitional language was deployed to re-shape our perception of the underlying concept of “capitalism,” for better or worse.




Ludwig Wittgenstein once famously wrote: “The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for.” Transitional language pushes and pulls, extracting and inserting meaning, fighting for the limits of our imagination.



Since transitional language trains or re-trains our thinking, we should be careful in deciding when adopting it whether we really want our thinking to be reframed. Think about how the popularity of the concept “laissez faire capitalism” has changed how we all think about the nature of capitalism. It’s been a powerful idea, powerful enough to overshadow important aspects of Adam Smith’s original concepts of capitalism.




If the meaning of a concept drifts and our minds adapt to the new meaning, our collective consciousness tilts just a bit off its axis. In the case of “capitalism,” for example, I believe it’s a real loss that we’ve re-oriented our thinking and now associate capitalism with bad or amoral behavior. And that’s why the creation of new transitional language that corrects its course, like “inclusive capitalism,” can be so valuable.



Today, “fair trade,” “socially responsible” and “sustainable development” are business concepts that have become common in our everyday conversations. Will these examples of transitional language eventually become so widely accepted that they become almost beyond question as required business practices? It seems more and more likely. And the smart use of language helps explains why.


NOT IF THESE ADAM SMITH REAL LEFT SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE TERMS ARE AS CORRUPTED AS THESE FEW DECADES OF ROBBER BARON GLOBAL BANKING 1% LAISSEZ FAIRE........AND IN US NATIONAL MEDIA ---THEY ARE CORRUPTED.




When we broaden our vocabulary, we have access to a bigger world with more options. The people who will thrive and excel in our interconnected, interdependent and fast-paced world will be the ones who embrace transitional language and unlock its transformative power.



Look at the many big corporation that have already attached themselves to this idea: Human Energy (Chevron); The Human Element (Dow); The Human Network (Cisco); We Speak Human (Ally Bank); Bank Human (TD Bank); Designed for Humans (Samsung); Be More Human (Reebok). Of course a slogan doesn’t always translate to real behavior. But as transitional language, at the very least it’s hopeful, helping to set the expectations of employees, customers and the community.



Transitional language is at once an indictment of the past (e.g., leaders who need to be reminded to be mindful) and a statement of hope for the future (e.g., leaders who embrace being mindful).




Once we realize that we can use transition language this way, our minds can be more creative and alert to newly-minted transitional phrases to help persuade people to change how they think. Of course, the ultimate mark of success for transitional language might be if it disappears, its refocused meaning now just part of the main concept.




If the business zeitgeist demonstrated by all this transitional language is elevated behavior, it follows that an emerging business strategy is emphasizing our shared humanity. After all, what is business anyway?




I can’t think of a better definition of business than human endeavor animated by a shared ethos. Humanity has always been at the core of business both in terms of who’s engaged in it and who it benefits. Isn’t it interesting, then, that the word “human” is gaining so much currency in the form of transitional phrases?

As we segue to financial public policy next week we look at today's US 5% PLAYER REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN below we see global banking 1% freemason STAR of movie FADS------CAMERON taking his wealth of tens of millions to buy that REAL ESTATE in Australia.

This tells our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens and our 99% new immigrant citizens that the global ECONOMIC COLLAPSE manufactured these few decades by ROBBER BARONS CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA 5% freemason/Greek pols and players is approaching.


'The Associated Press reported that Cameron successfully applied to buy 2,500 acres of farmland and he “intend[s] to reside indefinitely in New Zealand and [is] acquiring the property to reside on and operate as a working farm.” Slavo is skeptical in light of Cameron’s lack of need to be working at all, having made in excess of $250 million last year, according to Salon magazine'.


THAT'S A LOT OF FARMLAND MR CAMERON!

Now, Australia like Africa and Arabia will be DARK CONTINENTS as Climate Change advances-----Australia is being taken back to being that prison/slave colony upon which it was founded filling with FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES and global corporate factories, mining, reaping of all natural resources from beautiful New Zealand and what is left of fresh water on the continent of AUSTRALIA.

The investment in real estate CAMERON as that 5% global banking player is making will be worthless land in only a few decades.  No family wealth to be transferred for those 5% global banking players.


Australia is transitioning into the same global 99% foreign remittance men and women working class and poor----with those same Asian remittance men and women being those 5% global banking players pushed out of their own nations.


The goals of planting forests in deserts is GREEN propaganda just as was draining our US mid-west and western fresh water aquifers to make farms out of deserts-----now that US fresh water is gone and so too are all that US food belt farming soon to be gone. We will find tons of global banking media telling us Australia is no longer in threat of desertification----in no danger of expanding ozone atmospheric damage when it totally is MOVING FORWARD to those environmental disaster states

Southern Australia's decline in rainfall began around 1970 and has increased over the last four decades. The model projects a continued decline in winter rainfall throughout the rest of the 21st century, with significant implications for regional water resources. The drying is most severe over southwest Australia where the model forecasts a 40 percent decline in average rainfall by the late 21st century'.

Australia and Indonesia consider economic zones to speed up trade deal


Special economic zones may be used to breath new life into the long running talks on a free trade agreement between Australia and Indonesia with negotiators meeting this week under pressure from new ministers in each country to produce some early results.


Business groups from both countries have been separately discussing whether liberalisation measures could be tried out in limited geographic areas to test their value and public impact before being extended to the entire countries. 



The business groups have been inspired by the way China has tested liberalisation measures in special economic zones, especially the Shanghai Free Trade zone where some parts of the China Australia trade agreement are being implemented first.




Business representatives from Australia and Indonesia met in Perth last week to revive the Business Partnership Group which was established four years ago when the trade negotiations started with the idea of giving business a greater role in setting negotiating priorities than is the case in most other trade talks.

The trade negotiators are looking for new areas of bilateral cooperation. Jefri Tarigan


The original members – the Australia Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry – have brought some other groups into the latest discussions with the intention of delivering a new set of priorities to the government trade negotiators by mid year.



Early breakthroughs


The Indonesia-Australia Closer Economic Partnership Agreement is not expected to be concluded until next year although Trade minister Steve Ciobo and his Indonesian counterpart Thomas Lembong said after a meeting in March that they were looking for early breakthroughs to inject some new life into the bilateral business relationship.

In most trade negotiations nothing is formally agreed until the entire package is settled, but the economic partnership focus in the Indonesian talks means they are proceeding on the basis that new co-operation measures can be adopted early.



The business discussions last week looked at the prospects for early co-operation agreements in the cattle trade, skills development and financial services as part of this "early harvest" approach. 



But the Indonesian discussions have come under pressure from the parallel moves in Perth last week to speed up the implementation of the 16 country Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) which is seen an Asia-wide alternative to the Trans-Pacific Partnership by some participants. The bilateral Indonesian talks will be largely redundant if they don't go beyond the RCEP with new liberalisation or cooperation measures.
The Indonesian discussions were put on hold during diplomatic tensions between the two countries in recent years but have been revived since the meeting between Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and President Joko Widodo last November and the Indonesian government's new focus on economic reform.



Indonesia has expressed a desire to embrace special economic zones to boost economic growth and the business groups discussed how these could be linked to the trade deal to test proposals for freer worker movement between the countries or smoother access to for Indonesian products under Australia's tight quarantine rules.

While the 99% of citizens of Australia black, white, and brown citizens are being made working class poor remittance men and women as Australia global banking neo-liberals have captured and made Australia's national economy stagnant and crippled with massive frauds and corruption-----we are seeing TURNBULL made to sound a boon for those 99% of INDONESIAN citizens captured these few decades in some of the most brutal of Foreign Economic Zone slave labor.

So, Malcolm Turnbull is simply the CLINTON/BUSH global banking 5% player enriched the same way our US ROBBER BARON pols were enriched. He is being 'CHARITABLE' in donating all that sacking and looting criminal wealth back to Australia's 99% of citizens.


'Malcolm Turnbull is donating his entire $528,000 salary to charity

MALCOLM Turnbull is donating his entire $528,000 annual salary to charity. But it was one deal that made the PM his millions'.

Our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE understand this propaganda imagery back and forth all too well-----this is the point as regards our future US labor public policy no matter for a 5% or a 99% of citizens. As global banking 1% MOVES FORWARD DARK AGES extreme wealth extreme poverty LIBERTARIAN MARXISM---these smiling faces will be under the bus.  Neither of these two 5% global banking players are sons of global 1% families.


MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD FOR ONLY THE GLOBAL 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS does not include these newly rich winners from these few decades of ROBBER BARON sacking and looting sovereign nations.......OUR REVOLUTION for only the global 1% goes back to OLD WORLD SPICE AND SILK ROUTE and it is the consolidation of those hundreds of trillions of dollars to these global 1 % first families we will see as ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE for only the global 1% SMART CITIES DEEP, DEEP, REALLY DEEP STATE moves forward.   These are the newly rich REMITTANCE MEN------going under the bus in MOVING FORWARD.

Thai King Given $30 Billion for Being Born Into Royal Family

By Cristina Silva On 6/16/18 at 5:17 PM




'King Vajiralongkorn, his father’s only son, will not be able to use all his family money. The announcement noted the previously tax exempt fortune would not be subject to taxation "in line with His Majesty's wishes."'


Many people dream of a family member leaving them some kind of inheritance, enough cash to perhaps pay for a vacation or to invest in a property or a small business. Then there's King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand, who was given roughly $30 billion this week because he had the luck of being born into a royal family loaded with cash.



The royal leader received the good news when the official agency that managed the fortune belonging to Thailand's royal family announced Saturday that the king, who assumed the throne after his father died in 2016, would now oversee the family assets however he saw fit, The Associated Press reported. 


The late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who held the throne for seven decades, was estimated to be worth more than $30 billion, according to Forbes magazine's 2011 rankings of the world's richest people. It's one of the world's largest fortunes, Agence France-Presse reported. The family's assets likely include various properties and financial investments. The monarchy has not officially announced its net worth and it is protected from public scrutiny under law.


King Vajiralongkorn, his father’s only son, will not be able to use all his family money. The announcement noted the previously tax exempt fortune would not be subject to taxation "in line with His Majesty's wishes."

_____________________________________________

We end this week discussing labor public policy looking at our high-income 5% and global 2% freemason/Greek players for those global banking OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS by reminding our US 99% of WE THE PEOPLE who may think allowing OLD WORLD EUROPEAN KINGS AND QUEENS is better than allowing OLD WORLD ASIAN/ARABIC KINGS AND QUEENS have those hundreds of trillions of dollars looted from sovereign nations by ROBBER BARON CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA here in US.  Our local and national CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE---which are the agencies being the tools of global banking 1% in capturing our nations' political and economic structure are telling our US 99% black, white, and brown citizens that it is OK for all that wealth to be swept into the hands of global banking 1%---THEY KNOW BETTER and will rebuild US cities deemed FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES for the SOCIAL BENEFIT of all US 99% of citizens and our new immigrant citizens.

When we KNOW MOVING FORWARD has all economic and monetary spending geared towards the goals of planetary mining slave colonies----SMART CITIES being built these few decades will decay in several decades to be useless to any citizen.  What will be the cost of building these colonies and all infrastructure needed -----all that hundreds of trillions of dollars.  This doesn't  even take into account the technologies global banking 1% needs to develop and get functioning is even a reality.

So, the 21st century in MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE will guarantee SMART CITIES as DEEP, DEEP, REALLY DEEP STATE----it will guarantee our US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES will be made into far-right wing, authoritarian, militaristic extreme wealth extreme poverty global corporate campus LIBERTARIAN MARXIST states.  What is not guaranteed is ANY part of these planetary mining slave colonies-----asteroid mining sold as bringing great wealth and natural ores and minerals being COMPLETELY DEPLETED in trying to build these global technology/energy grids WILL MATERIALIZE IN ANY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT.

BOY, WE HOPE THOSE EUROPEAN  OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS WIN BECAUSE WE ARE WHITE=====FORGET ABOUT THAT 99% WE THE WHITE CITIZENS.  THOSE SHIP OF FOOLS ARE WORKING ON 3000BC DNA.

What will it take to set up colonies in space?


An ambitious idea for creating giant orbiting homes in space is being resurrected by a think tank. If you think this sounds absurd, it’s worth noting this group predicted travelling to Moon 30 years before it happened.

• By Richard Hollingham

2 December 2013

Imagine a pristine landscape of fertile fields and forests nudging up against the foothills of towering mountains. Rivers meander between prosperous towns dotted across the countryside. You can hear the sound of children playing in parks and gardens. Above them, in a clear blue sky, the Sun catches the wing tips of gliders circling in the thermals.



It sounds perfect, but something is not quite right. The scene is unnaturally idyllic, the sky slightly too blue and the horizon more curved than normal. That’s because this world is only 16 miles long, four miles wide and contained in a giant cylinder floating in space.
It’s a space colony concept, drawn up by the late Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill in the mid-1970s, but his ambitious plan is now being revived by the space think tank British Interplanetary Society (Bis). The organisation has form in championing ideas that are not necessarily as wildly eccentric as they first appear. In the 1930s it came up with a detailed plan for a multi-stage rocket and a manned lunar lander, which looks remarkably like the mission that 30 years later successfully delivered Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon.



“Back in the 1930s, the major work of the British Interplanetary Society was explaining to the public that exploring space was not a ridiculous idea,” says Jerry Stone, leader of the Study Project Advancing Colony Engineering (see what they did there?). “And what I’m trying to do with the space colonies project is something similar, to show that building a very large space colony is technically feasible.”




O’Neill’s original space colony proposal started out as an exercise for a group of students at Princeton. “Is a planetary surface the right place for an expanding technological civilisation?” he asked them. After a few months, and a great many calculations, the answer came back a resounding “No”. This got him interested in alternative human habitats beyond the Earth, and he conceived giant rotating spaceships containing landscaped biospheres housing up to 10 million people.



“There are two big advantages of constructing a colony in space rather than on a planet,” explains Stone. “You have the Sun’s energy 24 hours a day, so you can concentrate that energy to melt materials or use it to generate power, and you can rotate the habitat to create whatever gravity you want.”



These solar-powered colonies would be positioned at Lagrange points, stable areas in space where gravitational forces effectively balance each other out. They therefore wouldn’t need their own propulsion systems. Travelling to them would take weeks, compared to the months required to get to Mars.



Space odyssey


O’Neill’s detailed plans for his colonies appeared in the journal Physics Today, where he thought through many of the practical considerations. The basic structure of the habitats, for instance, is designed around a hollow tube made of metal and glass. Within, a plant-rich landscape stretches around the walls, broken up with giant windows into space.



There would be a semi-natural water cycle including clouds, and oxygen would be recycled by plants. These climate-controlled living spaces would be like the most beautiful areas of Earth, with a rich mix of disease-free flora and fauna. Maybe even a selection of endangered species.



Rather than living on the outside of a sphere as we do on Earth, colonists would settle around the inside. With the cylinder rotating, they would experience an artificial gravity effect. Only if they moved away from the cylinder’s walls, towards its central axis would they feel weightless. In this way, the inhabitants of Earth 2.0 really would be able to fly.



O’Neill deliberately designed the structure using existing 1970s technology, materials and construction techniques, rather than adopting futuristic inventions. The hollow cylinder, for instance, was based on steel and aluminium. After detailed calculations, he claimed his concept was feasible at the time he published it.



Stone is bringing these plans up to date using today’s technologies. Rather than building the shell from aluminium, for example, Stone argues tougher and lighter carbon composites could be used instead. Advances in solar cell and climate control technologies could also be used to make life easier and more comfortable in human space colonies.



One of the biggest theoretical challenges O’Neill faced was the effort and cost of construction. That, says Stone, will be solved when a new generation of much cheaper rocket launchers and spaceplanes has been developed, such as the UK-built Skylon. Using robot builders could also help.



“Ninety per cent of the material to build the colonies would come from the Moon,” says Stone. “We know from Apollo there’s silicon for the windows, and aluminium, iron and magnesium for the main structure. There’s even oxygen in the lunar soil.”



Designs for life


Let’s assume it is doable, what would be the cost of such a vast human undertaking? “Good question,” admits Stone. “The likelihood is that it would be started off by a consortium of companies and we hope that would become an international group.” Alternatively multi-billionaires with an interest in space such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon or SpaceX’s Elon Musk might take the lead.


But the practicalities of building a colony in space are only part of the story. Perhaps even more important and complex, are the societal considerations. What sort of laws and government should it have? A democracy or a billionaire’s fiefdom? Perhaps it would be the ultimate offshore tax haven. At first the colonists may model their political, legal, economic and social structures on those back home, but eventually they are likely to be adapted to the new environment. Stone has drawn up a three-page list of fundamental questions of this kind that his study group plans to address.



There is indeed a lot to think about and it’s easy to knock these sorts of big, visionary ideas. However, I’m not alone in believing that if humanity is to survive we will one day have to leave the Earth. A giant space habitat might be just the stepping-stone to the stars that we need.

The recurrent theme these few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA is of US or Canadian children leaving home not wanting or not able to return.  THE DEVINERS main character MORAG weaves this theme throughout her novel.  All last century in US our cultural arts wove themes of THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME.  HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.  Not only are these characters escaping home---they almost always are determined to be SINGULAR PEOPLE.  MOVING FORWARD IT TAKES A VILLAGE has just that goal------breaking down families, creating conditions where our US citizens don't want to have children, and feeling such oppression in their own home cities or counties that they want to escape to become EX-PATS.   This is the policy goal of MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD for only the global 1% for our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens whether merely rich or working class poor.


'THE DEVINERS---Margaret Laurence Morag Gunn '

Let's take today to reverse this REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN discussion to our 99% of new immigrant citizens being brought to US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES being staged as SLAVE LABOR whether children or adults---whether men or women.

Our 99% of new immigrants to US must understand that CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA killed what was a free and fair immigration structure having real pathways to US citizenship for our new immigrants offering equal opportunity and access to our once thriving REAL DOMESTIC FREE MARKET ECONOMY.  Flash forward these few decades and our new immigrants are seeing no rights, no pathways, no future as they are simply rotated from place to place with our FAKE ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT Clinton/Obama now morphing to far-right extreme wealth LIBERTARIAN MARXISTS all PRETENDING to be helping our new 99% immigrants to US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES.

Since the goal is having these new immigrant re-education centers operate in US as they do overseas---all this national media about caring for new immigrants whether children or not is FAKE NEWS.   These 99% of new immigrant citizens are the REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN from their own nations.


She says federal officials took her daughter while she breastfed the child in a detention center


By Ed Lavandera, Jason Morris and Darran Simon, CNN


Updated 9:26 AM ET, Thu June 14, 2018


McAllen, Texas (CNN)The undocumented immigrant from Honduras sobbed as she told an attorney Tuesday how federal authorities took her daughter while she breastfed the child in a detention center, where she was awaiting prosecution for entering the country illegally.

When the woman resisted, she was handcuffed, Natalia Cornelio, the attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project, recalled from her interview with the woman, who had been detained under the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy to refer anyone caught crossing the border illegally for federal prosecution.
Miguel Nogueras, a federal public defender, handles immigration cases.

Since the policy was announced in May, some 500 children have been separated from their parents within the last month, according to Miguel A. Nogueras, an assistant federal public defender for the Southern District of Texas in McAllen, citing an unofficial count by an attorney in his office.


Some parents who are under arrest tell public defenders they don't know what happened to their children, Nogueras said. Some parents also claim they have been told their children are being taken to be bathed or cleaned up, then the adults don't see them again."The government is essentially torturing people by doing this," Cornelio said.


In an interview outside the federal courthouse in McAllen, Nogueras said: "It depends on who the agent is on that day. They'll be told, 'We're going to separate your kids so they can bathe.' And that's not true."


He added: "It's really hard to look in the eye of a mother or father who would plead for you -- help me get my child back."'My daughter is here'
Inside the crowded federal courtroom, another undocumented Honduran immigrant stood in shackles Tuesday pleading with a judge preparing to sentence him for illegally entering the United States.


Authorities had separated Oman Rodriguez-Avila from his 8-year-old daughter when they caught him and other immigrants crossing the border a day earlier.
"I would ask that you give me a short sentence because my daughter is here," he told a judge in Spanish, speaking through a translator.


The federal judge sentenced Rodriguez-Avila to 15 days in jail because Rodriguez-Avila was previously convicted for the same misdemeanor offense in 2012 and deported.


The scene Monday in a federal courthouse in McAllen, Texas, where defendants are facing a federal misdemeanor charge of illegally entering the United States.
In a statement released Wednesday, Carlos Diaz, a US Customs and Border Protection spokesman, disputed the claims against immigration officials.


"Nothing could be further from the truth and these allegations are unsubstantiated," he said in an email.
In Texas, Cornelio recalled how quickly the tears flowed when the Civil Rights Project interviewed immigrants, whose children had been taken from them, after their arrest for illegally entering the country.


"All the women would start crying and would need to take a couple of minutes before being able to continue talking about it," Cornelio said.



This week, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department's Southern District of Texas said her office could not comment on the number of parents who had been separated from their children or how families were separated because of the zero-tolerance policy.


'It should never happen'


Children generally are separated from parents who are awaiting prosecution for crossing illegally, so prosecuting more parents will result in the separation of far more children from their parents at the border than before the policy took effect.


Those children become the charges of the Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families (specifically, the Office of Refugee Resettlement).


In an interview with NPR last month, when asked what he would say to people who say it would be "cruel and heartless" to separate a mother from her children, White House chief of staff John Kelly said: "I wouldn't put it quite that way. The children will be taken care of -- put into foster care or whatever. But the big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States, and this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long."


The administration said it seeks to reunite the families as much as possible after court proceedings, but it puts the onus largely on the parents to locate their children within government custody and seek their return.


Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the administration's policy last month.


"So, if you cross the border unlawfully, even a first offense, we're going to prosecute you," Sessions told a gathering of the Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies. "If you're smuggling a child, we're going to prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you, probably, as required by law. If you don't want your child to be separated, then don't bring them across the border illegally."


The new policy does not apply to asylum seekers who enter the United States through an official port of entry without paperwork; those people would only be placed into immigration proceedings.



It has long been a misdemeanor federal offense to be caught illegally entering the country, punishable by up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine. But previous US administrations generally didn't refer everyone caught for prosecution. Those who were apprehended were put into immigration proceedings and faced deportation from the country, unless they qualified to pursue an asylum claim.



Supporters of the new program credited it with reducing the number of crossings and repeat offenders, while critics said it overwhelmed the courts and US attorneys' offices with low-level crimes that made it difficult to use resources to go after serious and dangerous crime, like drug smuggling and cartels.
Nogueras said he has seen a shift in the caseload. During the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, public defenders in the federal courthouse in McAllen handled about 20 to 30 cases a day involving defendants facing charges for minor crimes, he said.


On Monday, public defenders handled 170 cases of undocumented immigrants who were charged with illegally entering the country and about 120 on Tuesday. At least 60 children have been separated from their parents over the past two days, according to the federal public defenders in McAllen.


"I'm outraged about it. I'm angry. It should never happen," Nogueras said. "I don't think that this represents the values of the American people."

Nothing has separated families more than these several decades of continuous wars waged by global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS----KNIGHTS OF MALTA and no one works harder for those global 1% then these 5% FAKE religious leaders.  No amount of catching refugees overseas victims of deliberate sovereign civil unrest/civil wars and PRETENDING TO CARE for those displaced and fractured families----children losing mothers and fathers by the few billion since EISENHOWER ACT unleashed ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE for only the global 1%.  Nothing separates children from mothers and fathers more then rebuilding a global slave trading system as did CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA with the help of these FAKE 5% RELIGIOUS LEADERS.

So, NOW these same GLOBAL NGO 'CHARITIES' are bringing billion dollar corporations tied to that ongoing global slave trading system moving sovereign citizens from one nation to another to work in global corporate factories enslaved with no rights or ability to return home---that is what is MOVING FORWARD in US ----as CA pretends the ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT FAKE Clinton/Obama progressives PROTEST TOO MUCH.


Do you hear Catholic bishops shouting against US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES and against goals of ONE WORLD for only the global 1% we know will be brutal and devastating to US and immigrant families? WE DON'T ---yet they all have those RAINBOW flags meaning ONE WORLD pretending all that is about GBLT rights.


US bishops condemn immigration policies that separate families at border


Bishops begin spring assembly, decry Trump administration's recent policies

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — The U.S. bishops began their annual spring assembly by condemning recent immigration policies from the Trump administration that have separated families at the U.S.-Mexico border and threatened to deny asylum for people fleeing violence.



The morning session here began with a statement, but by its end escalated to numerous bishops endorsing the idea of sending a delegation to the border to inspect the detention facilities where children are being kept and even floating the possibility of "canonical penalties" for those involved in carrying out the policies.




"The latest developments are consistent with the sort of cardiosclerosis that has begun in our country, and it concerns across-the-board life issues," said Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, who from the floor raised the idea of a bishop delegation to the border "as a sign of our pastoral concern and protest against this hardening of the American heart."



"And the invitation is to harden our hearts further," he said.


Issuing a statement in his capacity as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo set the stage by referring to "two very troubling recent developments in the area of immigration."



The policies in question were the decision announced June 11 by Attorney General Jeff Sessions that severely limits asylum seekers' ability to enter the U.S. by claiming they are fleeing domestic violence or gang-related violence. That followed the Justice Department's "zero tolerance" policy, introduced in early May, for immigrants crossing illegally in the U.S. that would separate children from their families.



"At its core, asylum is an instrument to preserve the right to life. The Attorney General's recent decision elicits deep concern because it potentially strips asylum from many women who lack adequate protection. These vulnerable women will now face return to the extreme dangers of domestic violence in their home country," the statement read.


Unless the policy is overturned, DiNardo said the decision "will erode the capacity of asylum to save lives."
On the separation of families, the cardinal said the nation's laws have the discretion to ensure families are kept intact and children not "exposed to irreparable harm and trauma."


"Families are the foundational element of our society and they must be able to stay together," DiNardo said.
"While protecting our borders is important, we can and must do better as a government, and as a society, to find other ways to ensure that safety. Separating babies from their mothers is not the answer and is immoral."



Earlier in the day, the bishops received updates on the conference's work on immigration and refugee issues from Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles, and Bishop Joe Vásquez of Austin, Texas. Gomez said the pace and development on the immigration issue has picked up in the last year, recapping the situation for Dreamers, the Trump administration travel ban and other steps it has taken regarding temporary protected status for refugees.



Gomez reported that following the Justice Department's "zero tolerance" policy, 640 families were separated in the period between May 3-17, with 55 to 65 children separated each day.


During the bishops' national "DACA call-in Day" in February, more than 50,000 calls were made to Congress in support of Dreamers, persons who were brought into the U.S. illegally as children.  



Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley, though not attending the conference, issued a statement saying that "the moral challenge of immigration is mounting for the United States."



"On too many occasions our government has taken a posture and established policy which is in principle and in practice hostile to children and families who are fleeing violence, gangs, and poverty," he said, adding "The United States is now openly before the world using children as pawns to enforce a hostile immigration policy. This strategy is morally unacceptable and denies the clear danger weighing upon those seeking our assistance."



In a comment session following the presentation, Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio urged his fellow bishops to contact members of House Freedom Caucus in their dioceses regarding the votes scheduled on two immigration bills next week. Neither is set to address the DREAM Act.



"They need to hear from us," he said, suggesting there's "an element of restrictionism" in the proposed legislation he believed was somewhat based in racism.
"But we cannot remain silent. This is really a crisis situation," DiMarzio said.
"In all my experience in immigration, it's never been quite this bad."


As the bishops discussed how to address the latest immigration policies, NBC News reported that the Trump administration was pushing for a federal court to rule DACA illegal, a move that could end the deportation protection program within weeks.


The idea of sending a delegation, or engaging in some type of public witness, appeared to gain traction among other bishops who spoke. In the afternoon session, DiNardo said the working group on immigration issues would head up exploring the possibility of such a delegation.


In the morning conversation, Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, New Mexico, said that Pope Francis has demonstrated the powerful combination of a visible gesture combined with church teaching.


Bishop Joseph Tyson of Yakima, Washington, underscored the connection of immigration issues and life issues. He shared the story of an immigrant father without proper documentation in his diocese who faces deportation after he was arrested for speeding in trying to get his pregnant wife to the hospital to deliver their premature child.


"If you want to save the unborn, you have to walk through the doors of the undocumented. … It is wrong — wrong! — to separate out these serious immigration issues, these family issues from the life issues." Tyson said.



Tucson, Arizona, Bishop Edward Weisenburger, a canon lawyer, floated the possibility of "canonical penalties" for Catholics who are involved in carrying  out the Trump administration's immigration policies.


"I think the time is there for a prophetic statement," he said, adding that canonical penalties are there first and foremost as a means to heal.


Bishop John Stowe recommended pastoral outreach for border control agents customs workers who are struggling with enforcing policies they view as unjust.


As part of the Share the Journey campaign, launched by Pope Francis and Caritas Internationalis in September, Archbishop Paul Coakley, board chair of Catholic Relief Services, invited U.S. bishops to join in organizing and conducting prayer pilgrimages as a way of walking and bearing public witness in solidarity with migrants and refugees. The campaign has a cumulative goal of amassing 24,900 miles walked — or the equivalent of traveling once around the globe — before Nov. 13, the feast of St. Frances Cabrini.


Other initiatives of the second year of the Share the Journey campaign asks Catholics to host "encounter meals" with migrants, as well as a new aspect to address fears of migrants and immigrants.

More Africans Enter U.S. Than in Days of Slavery


By SAM ROBERTSFEB. 21, 2005

For the first time, more blacks are coming to the United States from Africa than during the slave trade.


Since 1990, according to immigration figures, more have arrived voluntarily than the total who disembarked in chains before the United States outlawed international slave trafficking in 1807. More have been coming here annually -- about 50,000 legal immigrants -- than in any of the peak years of the middle passage across the Atlantic, and more have migrated here from Africa since 1990 than in nearly the entire preceding two centuries.



New York State draws the most; Nigeria and Ghana are among the top 20 sources of immigrants to New York City. But many have moved to metropolitan Washington, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and Houston. Pockets of refugees, especially Somalis, have found havens in Minnesota, Maine and Oregon.



The movement is still a trickle compared with the number of newcomers from Latin America and Asia, but it is already redefining what it means to be African-American. The steady decline in the percentage of African-Americans with ancestors who suffered directly through the middle passage and Jim Crow is also shaping the debate over affirmative action, diversity programs and other initiatives intended to redress the legacy of slavery.


In Africa, the flow is contributing to a brain drain. But at the same time, African-born residents of the United States are sharing their relative prosperity here by sending more than $1 billion annually back to their families and friends.



"Basically, people are coming to reclaim the wealth that's been taken from their countries," said Howard Dodson, director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, in Harlem, which has just inaugurated an exhibition, Web site and book, titled "In Motion," to commemorate the African diaspora.


The influx has other potential implications, from recalibrating the largely monolithic way white America views blacks to raising concerns that American-born blacks will again be left behind.



"Historically, every immigrant group has jumped over American-born blacks," said Eric Foner, the Columbia University historian. "The final irony would be if African immigrants did, too."


The flow from Africa began in the 1970's, mostly with refugees from Ethiopia and Somalia, and escalated in the 1990's, when the number of black residents of the United States born in sub-Saharan Africa nearly tripled. Combined with the much larger flow of Caribbean blacks, the recent arrivals from Africa accounted for about 25 percent of black population growth in the United States over all during the decade. Nationally, the proportion of blacks who are foreign born rose to about 7.3 percent from 4.9 percent in the 1990's. In New York City, about 1 in 3 blacks are foreign born.



According to the census, the proportion of black people living in the United States who describe themselves as African-born, while still small, more than doubled in the 1990's, to 1.7 percent from about 0.8 percent, for a total estimated conservatively at more than 600,000. About 1.7 million United States residents identify their ancestry as sub-Saharan.



Those numbers reflect only legal immigrants, who have been arriving at the rate of about 50,000 a year, first mostly as refugees and students and more recently through family reunification and diversity visas. Many speak English, were raised in large cities and capitalist economies, live in families headed by married couples and are generally more highly educated and have higher-paying jobs than American-born blacks.



There is no official count of the many others who entered the country illegally or have overstayed their visas and who are likely to be less well off.



Kim Nichols, co-executive director of the African Services Committee, which directs newcomers to health care, housing and other services in the New York region, estimates that the number of illegal African immigrants dwarfs the legal ones. "We think it's a multiple of at least four," she said.


Africans' reasons for coming echo the aspirations of earlier immigrants.


"Senegal became too small," said Marie Lopy, who arrived as a student in 1996, worked as a bookkeeper in a restaurant and earned an associate degree in biology from the City University of New York.



After winning a place in an American immigration lottery that his secretary had entered for him in 1994, Daouda Ndiaye recalls being persuaded by his six children to leave Senegal, where he was working as a financial manager. "I said, 'I'm 45, I'd have to build a whole new life, I'd have to go to school to learn English,"' he recalled. "They said, 'We want you to go and we want you to send for us because there's more opportunity in the U.S. than here."'


His wife and two of his children have joined him in the United States, where he has worked as a sporting goods store manager and is now a translator.


That the latest movement of black Africans arriving voluntarily surpasses the total who disembarked in chains before the United States outlawed international slave trafficking is a bit of a statistical anomaly. That total, most historians now agree, was about 500,000, with an annual peak of perhaps 30,000, compared with the millions overall who were sold into slavery from Africa. Many died aboard ship. Most were transported to the Caribbean and Brazil, where they were vulnerable to indigenous diseases and to the rigors of raising sugar cane, which was harder to cultivate than cotton or rice, the predominant crops on plantations in the United States, where the slave population was better able to survive and reproduce.



Moreover, black Africans represented a much higher proportion of the population then than they do today. In 1800, about 20 percent of the 5 million or so people in the United States were black. Among nearly 300 million Americans today, about 13 percent are black.


Still, with Europe increasingly inhospitable and much of Africa still suffering from the ravages of drought and the AIDS epidemic and the vagaries of economic mismanagement, the number migrating to the United States is growing -- despite the reluctance of some Africans to come face to face with the effects of centuries of enduring discrimination.

In the 1960's, 28,954 legal immigrants were admitted from all of Africa, a figure that rose geometrically to 80,779 in the 1970's, 176,893 in the 1980's and 354,939 in the 1990's. In 2002, 60,269 were admitted, including 8,291 from Nigeria, 7,574 from Ethiopia, 4,537 from Somalia, 4,256 from Ghana and 3,207 from Kenya.


To many Americans, the most visible signs of the movement are the proliferation of African churches, mosques, hair-braiding salons, street vendors and supermarket deliverymen, the controversy over female genital mutilation and the election last year of Barack Obama, son of a native Kenyan, to the United States Senate from Illinois. Especially in New York City, the shooting deaths of two unarmed African immigrants, Amadou Diallo from Guinea in 1999 and Ousmane Zongo from Burkina Faso in 2003, come to mind.



Immigrants arrive with their own perceptions and expectations, from countries where blacks constitute a majority at every level of society, only to discover that whether they are professors or peddlers, they may be lumped together here by whites and even by American-born blacks.



"You have the positive impact that race is not seen to be an absolute definer of people's opportunities," Kathleen Newland, director of the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research group, said, "but that begs the larger question of what does it mean to have a black skin in the United States."



Agba Mangalabou, who arrived from Togo in 2002, recalls his surprise when he moved here from Europe. "In Germany, everyone knew I was African," he said. "Here, nobody knows if I'm African or American."



Ms. Lopy, who now works as a medical interpreter for the African Services Committee, describes herself as "African, first and foremost," though the identity of her children will depend on whom she marries and where. "I'll raise them to be African-something," she said, "but ultimately they'll define it for themselves."



Sylviane A. Diouf, a historian and researcher at the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center and Dr. Dodson's co-author of "In Motion," said that Americans have a more positive view of immigrants in general than they do of American-born blacks. Referring to African immigrants, she said: "They are better educated, they're here to work, to prosper, they're more compliant and don't pose a threat."


Dr. Dodson added, "They're not politically mobilized as yet and not as closely tied to the African-American agenda."


While the ancestors of most Caribbean-born blacks were enslaved, and slavery also victimized the forbears of many African-born blacks, the growing proportion of immigrants may further complicate the debate over programs envisioned to redress the legacies of slavery.


"I think there is a legitimate set of specific claims by persons born in the United States that don't necessarily apply to Caribbean or African populations that have come here subsequently," Dr. Dodson said.



"African-born and Caribbean-born brothers and sisters have realized that the police don't discriminate on the basis of nationality -- ask Amadou Diallo," said Professor Charles J. Ogletree Jr., who teaches at Harvard Law School and has warned colleges and universities that admitting mostly foreign-born blacks to meet the goals of affirmative action is insufficient.



"Whether you are from Brazil or from Cuba, you are still products of slavery," he continued. "But the threshold is that people of African descent who were born and raised and suffered in America have to be the first among equals."



French-speaking Haitians do not necessarily mix with English-speaking West Indians, much less with Africans, and competition for jobs has been another source of tension.



"The Africans tend to be quite industrious and entrepreneurial and often take advantage of opportunities that might have been here for others before," said Kim Nichols of the African Services Committee.


"We're talking about very profoundly different cultures," Kathleen Newland said.


Analyses by the Department of City Planning, and by the Lewis Mumford Center for Comparative Urban and Regional Research, in Albany found recent immigrants often segregated from other blacks. The census found Nigerian clusters in Flatlands and Canarsie in Brooklyn and Ghanaians in Morris Heights and High Bridge in the Bronx.



"As with European ethnics at the turn of the century," Joseph J. Salvo, the director of the population division of the Department of City Planning, and Arun Peter Lobo, the deputy director, wrote recently, "ethnicity has been a powerful force in shaping black residential settlement in New York."



Immigration may also shift some of the nation's focus from racial distinctions to ethnic ones. "Certainly, South Africa showed us that minority status does not necessarily correlate to one's position in society, but rather that power and its uses are the issues," said Samuel K. Roberts of Columbia, a history professor who is also on the faculty of the university's Institute for Research in African-American Studies. "That being said, increasingly distinguishing between black Americans and black Africans may produce conditions in which we will be less prone to think of a fictional construct of 'race' as the distinguishing factor among all of us in North America."



How long might those distinctions last? "I guess one of the questions will have to be what happens in the next generation or two," said Professor Foner of Columbia. "In America, marriage is the great solvent. Are they going to melt into the African-American population? Most likely yes."

Why the rich are ditching their home country
by Sophia Yan   @sophia_yan June 4, 2014: 3:02 PM ET





Increasing numbers of the wealthy global elite are saying goodbye to their home country and taking up residence elsewhere in an effort to preserve their riches.  Popular destination countries like Cyprus, Spain and Australia have programs that offer a path to citizenship or permanent residency -- for those who can afford to pay up.



Right now, immigrant investor programs are available in about 20 countries around the globe, including the U.S., Europe, and island nations in the Caribbean. More are on the way, especially as countries still reeling from the global financial crisis seek to energize their economies.


While some individuals can maintain their citizenship status with their home countries, others from nations that do not allow dual citizenship must turn in their passports in order to adopt a new country.




In recent years, "there have been many countries offering investment immigration targeted at wealthy individuals," according to a report by Arton Capital, which advises governments and individuals regarding such programs, and Wealth-X, a research firm. "As a pure investment, some of these programs are very attractive to ultra high net worth individuals."



That's because the programs are quite affordable for the world's uber rich. Required investments range from $500,000 to several million dollars and are often "a very small fraction of someone's net worth," said Mykolas Rambus, CEO of Wealth-X.



Bulgaria, for example, requires investors to hold $700,000 in government bonds for five years, while St. Kitts & Nevis in the Caribbean mandates a $400,000 investment in real estate or the nation's sugar industry. Other countries demand hefty property purchases, putting a few million on deposit in a domestic bank or into projects that support job creation.



A decade ago, only a handful of these programs existed. Now, as new countries join the fray, roughly 20,000 rich individuals are rushing to apply each year, often in hopes of preserving their wealth.


While lower income taxes are sometimes a plus, some applicants are also looking to avoid inheritance taxes. Over the next three decades, the children of the super wealthy are set to inherit more than $16 trillion.
Other incentives include access to better education, a desire to escape political instability, visa-free travel to more countries or higher standards of living, said Armand Arton, president of Arton Capital.




In extreme cases, the craftiest individuals may even be able to avoid taxes by bouncing around the globe armed with multiple citizenships and residence permits. It's possible to "spend a number of days here, a certain number of days there -- and if you keep moving around, you never establish a long-enough term to be subject to permanent taxable residency," said David Kuenzi, founder of investment advisory Thun Financial.


Most immigrant investors are coming from the Middle East, followed by India and China, Arton said. And more rich Russians have inquired about such programs lately, given political instability in that region.



Europe remains the most popular destination, followed by island nations in the Caribbean -- where some countries levy no personal income, capital gains or inheritance tax. While those two regions are popular with investors from the Middle East, the Chinese seem most drawn to the American Dream, Arton said. The U.S. program is also attractive as it offers a green card, a better alternative for the Chinese, who are barred from having dual citizenship.


In fact, the Chinese now account for 80% of the U.S. immigrant investor program, according to a CNNMoney analysis of U.S. government data.


"Those who are globally minded who have quite a bit of wealth -- this is becoming a must-have," Rambus said.

Throughout CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA global 2% from Asia, Arabia, Latin America were brought to US and installed in FEDERAL AGENCIES now MOVING FORWARD to being made ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE candidates -----these were the REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN being sent from THEIR HOME NATIONS to that foreign land having no more ability to keep wealth and assets made here in US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES then if they were fleeced by their own global 1% in China, Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea, Bahrain, Turkey.



by Sophia Yan   @sophia_yan---CNN MONEY

So, today in US we are seeing more and more of these global 2% REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN as rich new immigrants staging themselves to be sacked and looted by global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS just as our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE have experienced these few decades of ROBBER BARON CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA.

We have discussed in detail this HONOR AMONG THIEVES that does not exit in reality.  What we are seeing MOVING FORWARD in US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES is the beginning of extreme tension between global 1% and their 2% NOT MAKING PEACE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING----but bringing global tensions of CIVIL UNREST, CIVIL WAR to our American continent.


Below we see WESTERN EUROPE selling itself as the best place for those global 1% and their 2% to invest and settle when we discussed how MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD FLIPPING THE EARTH'S ECONOMIC AXIS will make Western Europe a DARK CONTINENT as the AMERICAS filled only with global factories and TRIBUTE STATE looting of a sovereign nations' natural resources, mineral, ore, timber, fresh water.  Western Europe having no more future then US being only a colonial slave colony.

Why would global 1% and their 2% walk into what is today a DEN OF THIEVES -----global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS-------thinking a simple TRADE AGREEMENT---or a simple US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE economic and real estate protection agreement would actually PROTECT THEM?

One answer is this----the global 1% of Asian and Arabic nations making REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN of those global 2% families don't care if they are fleeced or made losers--they are simply shipping off family members not tied to being that global 1% FIRST SON.



This passport is best suited for the world’s wealthiest people (clue: it’s European)

Published: Mar 5, 2017 2:24 p.m. ET



The U.S. only made it to No. 35 on a ranking from 1 to 199

The most beloved passport in the world by rich people is not American.


Sweden was No. 1 on the list on a ranking that went to 199, according to a compilation by Nomad Capitalist, an Austin, Texas –based organization that helps high-net-worth clients diversify their assets and save taxes. Belgium was No. 2, followed by Italy and Spain (sharing No. 3), Ireland, Finland and Germany (tied for No. 6), Denmark and Switzerland and Luxembourg (at joint No. 8), followed by France, New Zealand (both at No. 11). The U.S. was joint No. 35 along with Slovenia, even further down the list than Canada (No. 14), with the U.K. and Australia both at No. 16. And last on the list at No. 199? Afghanistan, which was only beaten by Iraq, Eritrea, Pakistan, Libya, Syria and Yemen (all ranked No. 193) and Sudan, Iran, South Sudan and North Korea (all No. 189).

The “Nomad Passport Index” ranks passports based on visa-free travel (50% of ranking), taxation (30% of ranking), perception (10% of ranking), the ability to hold dual citizenship (10% of ranking) and overall freedom (10% of ranking). Each country’s value in each category is given the indicated weighting to achieve a country’s total score using the formula. “This index is designed to show the true value of citizenship in each country from the perspective of a high-achieving citizen who wants the freedom to minimize his or her tax obligations, diversify his or her wealth, and travel freely without judgment,” the report says. “We believe that no one should be forced to pay tax by virtue of their citizenship alone.” You can read the full list and methodology here.

Of course, many of the measures used are subjective. The world’s perception of a country (which only accounted for 10% of the score) relied on the World Happiness Report, the United Nations’ Human Development Index, and based on Nomad Capitalist’s personal experience with clients. “We believe that freedom of speech and of the press is a good thing, and imposing laws on non-resident citizens is generally a bad idea,” the report says. The index relied on data regarding mandatory military service, government spying programs, incarceration rate, and laws targeting non-resident citizens (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), as well as the World Press Freedom Index.

However, the U.S. tied for No. 3 in a separate passport index of 199 countries based solely on visa flexibility along with the U.K., Norway, Spain, France, Finland and Denmark. In that list, by Montreal-based Arton, a global advisory firm that helps people take part in citizenship and residency programs for investors, Germany was No. 1, followed by Sweden and Singapore at No. 2. Arton ranks travel documents based on how many countries their holders can visit without having to obtain a visa in advance: The more nations you can access merely by getting a landing visa at the airport or even entering visa-free, the more powerful your passport is. On that list, Afghanistan was also last, below Paskistan, Iraq, Syria and Somalia. The U.K. and U.S. shared the No. 1 spot on Arton’s list in 2015, but both were toppled by Germany in 2016.




Millionaires are on the move. An estimated 82,000 high-net-worth individuals, defined as those who have assets (including properties) over $1 million, moved from their home countries last year, versus 64,000 in 2015, according to the “Global Health Review: Worldwide Wealth and Wealth Migration Trends,” published earlier this week by New World Wealth, a market research and wealth intelligence firm based in Johannesburg, South Africa. For the second consecutive year, Australia was the No. 1 country welcoming millionaire migrants. There was a 38% jump in millionaire migrants to Australia (an estimated 11,000 last year versus 8,000 in 2015) and a 43% rise in those migrants to the U.S. (an estimated 10,000 in 2016 versus 7,000). The researchers looked at investor visa programs, via work transfers, second passports, ancestry visas, spousal visas and family visas.

Move Over, Switzerland: Singapore and Hong Kong Set to Attract More Wealth

June 13, 2017, 12:00 PM EDT  BLOOMBERG FINANCIAL

• Singapore and Hong Kong assets to increase faster through 2021
• BCG report attributes rise to Asia’s rapid economic expansion

Singapore and Hong Kong will attract wealth from abroad at more than twice the pace of Switzerland over the next four years as Asia’s economic expansion draws cash from millionaires, Boston Consulting Group predicts


Our US national media promotes the idea that this FLEEING from America of all those new merely rich is another sign of DECLINE OF AMERICAN REPUBLIC.  So, US and European global 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS could care less if those global 2% of Western families are fleeced and sent to poverty overseas---just as those global 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS sending their global 2% overseas could care less if those families are fleeced and sent into poverty----

THIS IS THE 3000BC LAISSEZ-FAIRE VERSION OF GLOBAL 1% SECURING THEIR OWN IMMEDIATE FAMILIES AS TOP GUN INSIDE THEIR OWN EMPIRE.

When we shout over and again that the global 1% could care less about our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE----this is why we say 99% ----and not 95% or 98% -------because we KNEW all those global banking 5% freemason/Greek players managing to gain wealth would lose it very quickly.

Rich Americans Are Fleeing the Country

Written by  Bob Adelmann

When Hollywood film director James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic, Terminator) announced that he was moving to New Zealand, preppers, fiscal doomsayers, and alarmists had a field day in deciphering his motives for moving, ultimately deciding that Cameron was moving so that he is better able to weather the massive monetary upheaval that is upcoming or he is escaping U.S. taxes and regulations.



Marc Slavo, as an example, suggested ulterior motives other than those stated by Cameron: “While the move for the Canadian-born Cameron may initially be perceived as a rejection or denouncement of American policies and ideals … [he] may have ulterior motivations as evidenced by where he’s planning on moving and what he’s planning on doing once he gets there.”



The Associated Press reported that Cameron successfully applied to buy 2,500 acres of farmland and he “intend[s] to reside indefinitely in New Zealand and [is] acquiring the property to reside on and operate as a working farm.” Slavo is skeptical in light of Cameron’s lack of need to be working at all, having made in excess of $250 million last year, according to Salon magazine.



And Slavo is not persuaded that Cameron’s real reason is to be closer to the New Zealand headquarters of Weta Digital, which won an Oscar for its special effects in the movie Avatar. Nor is he persuaded that Cameron wants to be there solely to direct the sequel to Avatar scheduled to begin later this year. Slavo instead is thinking that Cameron knows that “farmland is one of the only reasonable physical assets to hold in the event of a major crisis,” and that Cameron’s disclosure on his New Zealand application for citizenship was simply cover.



Paul Joseph Watson and Alex Jones at Inforwars.com are of the same mind as Slavo:



If you think that Hollywood director James Cameron’s decision to leave America and move his entire family to a farm in New Zealand is simply to provide his kids with a “strong work ethic,” as Cameron claims, think again….



Cameron’s decision fits the trend of wealthy Americans pulling their money out of the country and reinvesting it to buy land in the southern hemisphere, escaping spiraling tax rates and protecting themselves against the potential for widespread social dislocation.
When John Malone, chairman of the board of Liberty Media with a personal net worth of $4.5 billion, reported that he had purchased a significant piece of property along the Quebec border, he explained in an interview with the Wall Street Journal his real motivation:



WSJ: What are the biggest risks for Liberty Media right now?

Malone: The concerns really tend to be much more macro: Is America going to make it, rather than are we going to make it? It’s pretty hard. If the country doesn’t make it, do any of us make it?



WSJ: What are you doing to protect against the weak American economy?


Malone: Well, my wife, who is very concerned about these things, moved all her personal cash to Australia and Canada. She wants to have a place to go if things blow up here….



We have a retreat that’s right on the Quebec border. We own 18 miles on the border, so we can cross. Anytime we want to we can get away.



As Slavo explained, Malone is not a tin-foil hat weirdo believing in things that go bump in the night: “He may not look like a doom and gloomer, but it sounds like he’s considered the possibility of a complete collapse in the United States of America. Otherwise, why suggest that if something were to happen, he could get away?”



Two years ago Brian Knowlton, writing in the Wall Street Journal, noted the paradigm change taking place even then among wealthy Americans increasingly frightened about the economic and social situation in the country. He quoted Jackie Bugnion, director of American Citizens Abroad (ACA): “What we have seen is a substantial change in mentality among the overseas community in the past two years. Before, no one would dare mention to other Americans that they were even thinking of renouncing their U.S. nationality. Now, it is an openly discussed issue.”



One of the reasons given for considering renunciation is the increasingly onerous rules invading privacy and personal finances. The Patriot Act has made it more difficult for Americans living abroad to keep accounts with international banks. If those banks cannot verify an American address, the accounts are closed. Daniel Flynn, an American citizen who lives in Belgium, wrote a letter to the ACA:



It seems the new anti-terrorist rules are having unintended effects. I was born in San Francisco in 1939, served my country as an army officer from 1961 to 1963, have been paying U.S. income taxes for 57 years, since 1952, have continually maintained [my] federal voting residence, and hold a valid American passport. [And yet my bank] said that the new anti-terrorism rules required them to close our account because of our address outside the U.S.


Another American living in Canada had the same problem. Kathleen Rittenhouse said, “I did not know that the Patriot Act placed me in the same category as terrorists, arms dealers and money launderers.”



The United States is the only industrialized country that requires citizens to pay income taxes on earnings abroad that are also being taxed by the country where they live. Some are calling this, properly, double taxation and are sick of it. And the IRS began investigations into foreign accounts, calling it a “voluntary offshore disclosure program,” that threatens the privacy and financial security of those with legitimate offshore accounts. Joe Field, a partner in a law firm in Hong Kong that caters to American citizens seeking to renounce their U.S. citizenship, says his firm is experiencing an “exponential increase” in the number of American citizens wanting to get out. He said:



Many people who looked to America as the protector now see America is bent on coming after them. We’re getting a whole new class of client who is someone who says, “I want to go into the [IRS] disclosure program and as soon as I complete it, expatriate.”


Their numbers are likely to increase as a loophole allowing wealthy Americans to move their monies and wealth offshore closes at the end of the year. Americans with a net worth of at least $2 million will have to buy their way out of the country by paying hefty exit fees and taxes, even on assets that have unrealized gains. The loophole allows them until the end of the year to give away up to $5 million without the fee being applied, saving enough in taxes to pay the fee that is levied.



And then there are those who are just disappearing altogether without a fare thee well. John Gaver, editor of Action America, wrote that there is a “vast and increasing number of wealthy US citizens who are just ‘dropping out’ — taking all of their wealth and leaving the US without renouncing. They just disappear off the US tax rolls and appear on some other country’s tax rolls.”

The number disgusted with how America treats its successful citizens continues to grow. As Bugnion of ACA notes, “It is a sad outcome, but I personally feel that we are now seeing only the tip of the iceberg.”

In The Diviners, Morag Gunn, a middle aged writer who lives in a farmhouse on the Canadian prairie, struggles to understand the loneliness of her eighteen-year-old daughter. With unusual wit and depth, Morag recognizes that she needs solitude and work as much as she needs the love of her family. With an afterword by Margaret Atwood.
"Mrs. Laurence’s [novel] is both poetic and muscular, and her heroine is certainly one of the more humane, unglorified, unpolemical, believable women to have appeared in recent fiction."—The New Yorker

We wanted to post this FAKE policy having our US IVY LEAGUE 5% players being led to feel they are actually participating in UNITED NATIONS governance----when of course they are no more doing so then our 99% of WE THE PEOPLE are participating in our local community development when we play at FARMVILLE or our US city community associations.

REMITTANCE MEN have for thousands of years been those family members of global 1% decided to be of low value to that wealthy family---the eldest son normally remaining at home to inherit family wealth.  All global 1% families send those lower-ranking men off to seek their own fortunes in global labor pool.  The poor families do the same----those working class families able to afford to feed and house a few mouths send their lower-ranking family members off to the global labor pool.

Our US 5% players black, white, and brown thinking their families are tied to global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS are today's REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN who will indeed be earliest to be thrown into global labor pool as EX-PATS.  Remember, today's US IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES which used to be strong academic campuses for the best of students have these few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA been corrupted and dismantled made PRODUCT MILLS for corporate patents students simply being FREE LABOR.



'Remittance Men': the original and the new breed of remittance men and women – and 'fitting in' with your fellows


Expatriates and foreign residents are found everywhere in the world nowadays, some in the most unlikely of places. They leave their own countries for many reasons, but financial issues and money transfer are an integral part of living overseas.

Most people who travel or live abroad or support others there, tend to rely on 'high street' banks to transfer money between countries, but banks are notoriously expensive in terms of exchange rates, commissions and other charges. Alternatives like Western Union and MoneyGram are convenient, but their fees are typically higher than the banks. Long-time foreign residents looking for the cheapest ways to send money use reliable organisations such as CurrencyOnline to provide instant quotes and online transfer at better rates than the banks, and no extra fees. It's worth looking into what they offer if you need to send money overseas by trying the free currency converter on the right.



History of the Remittance Man

Remittance men originally came from England, but not any more. Far from it; more are from still-developing countries in Asia and also economic refugees from Eastern Europe. People have many different reasons for living and working away from their home countries, but today it's often economic; there's no work or it's not well-enough paid in their own country.

The term dates from the 1880's. 'Remittance Man' was a rather derogatory name given to young Englishmen sent off by their families to live in one of the former British colonies and protectorates such as Rhodesia, Kenya, India, Ceylon, Malaya, Burma, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and also the USA.

Remittance Men were usually the second or younger sons of aristocratic and wealthy British families whose assets were traditionally passed down to the first son, leaving the other children with little or nothing, and therefore few prospects of their own. They often led aimless lives, many of them not knowing what they could do to earn a living.

While they may or may not have included Robert Service, mentioned below with his famous poems about 'men who don't fit in', some of these 'gentlemen' became embarrassments to their families due to drinking, gambling and partying and generally depleting the family's resources while they were still alive. Under the circumstances who could blame them? Payment just for staying away from home! Whatever the reason, a convenient solution was to ship them off somewhere, where they could be sent funds called remittances (money transfers), and they were left to make whatever they could of their lives 'in exile'. Needless to say, many of them continued the debauchery in their new countries, making new friends along the way! However many also established themselves as farmers and businessmen, prospered and became pillars of their local communities.


The 'new breed'of remittance man and woman

During the past thirty or so years, a 'new breed' of remittance men (and women) has evolved, many of whom are Asian in origin. The reason is exactly the opposite, though.

OH, REALLY????


They go off to seek employment in countries with better economies and work opportunities than their own. They earn enough to send (remit) money to support their families back home. Foreign contract workers from China, India, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Laos are prime examples. Others have moved permanently with or without their families and are found scattered throughout North America, Britain and Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

In the case of Laos (Lao PDR), many locals were given refugee status and US residence in the mid 1970's as a result of the Vietnam War and the USA and CIA involvement. These 'sub-families' usually still live in ethnic communities with their fellows, maintaining their traditional lifestyle as far as possible; many speak very little English, even after more than thirty years of living in the USA. Their children are different, though, in that they go to school with other Americans, and so they learn about Western ways as well as the English language. These families continue to send money back to their 'poorer relations' in Laos, where families sometimes rely solely on these remittances, giving some little or no incentive to try and earn money for themselves, except by menial methods. A few will use the money to educate their children better.


Fitting in with today's society; choosing where to live

For most of us it's a matter of personal choice where we live and work, but included among the 'wanderers' and work-seekers are those who seem to have trouble 'fitting in' wherever they try and settle. There are numerous reasons for people wanting to make a new or fresh start. Failed relationships or bereavement, or early retirement in a cheaper place. And there are plenty of choices of destination too, especially in Southeast Asia.

Living in a foreign country where nobody knows you may be a daunting prospect for many. For others it can be a solution to a problem – an escape from 'the system' or anonymity. It's possible to regain one's own 'sovereignty' – personal and financial freedom and independence. Visit the Sovereign Life website to learn more.

There's nothing stopping anyone who wants to from creating a new life and choosing exactly who to share it with or by staying in 'splendid isolation', without pressure from family or others left behind in 'the old country'.

Not everyone feels the need to 'fit in' with the people around them. Some say that fitting in is overrated; Leonard Felder wrote a book with that precise title, and it's worth reading by anyone who feels 'out in the cold'; it could be the right place to be for you.

Others will say it's important to feel part of what's going on around you, particularly socially. Otherwise you probably won't have much fun in your life. There's a VHS video about that too called "Fitting in and Having Fun".

The internet has opened up new opportunities of course, allowing people to live, stay in contact and do business from anywhere there's an internet connection.

More and more people from the so-called sophisticated developed 'rich' Western countries are finding that the quality of life there is constantly being eroded. For all the benefits of new technology, basic values and simple pleasures are becoming increasingly difficult to find and maintain. When the pressure and stress starts to become intolerable, this is the time to think about a move, and many are doing it. There are dozens of places one can live and work or retire where life will be infinitely more rewarding and fulfilling. It may be a simpler life with less material benefit by comparison, but surely happiness is more important than money itself.

The two poems below are among the better-known works of Robert W Service, born in England in 1874 and who went (perhaps as a Remittance Man himself) to Canada's Yukon in 1904 over 100 years ago. At the time it was 'tough country' – definitely not one of today's 'tropical paradises', although people of many countries have immigrated to Canada!

Service was employed by the Canadian Bank of Commerce and posted to its branch in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Inspired by the awe-inspiring beauty of the wilderness of Canada's north, he began writing poems about the things he saw, including the hardships of Yukon 'Gold Rush' miners. Works like "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee" made him famous around the world. Here are perhaps his best-known poems.

The Rhyme of the Remittance Man

There's a four-pronged buck a-swinging in the shadow of my cabin,
And it roamed the velvet valley till to-day;
But I tracked it by the river, and I trailed it in the cover,
And I killed it on the mountain miles away.
Now I've had my lazy supper, and the level sun is gleaming
On the water where the silver salmon play;
And I light my little corn-cob, and I linger, softly dreaming,
In the twilight, of a land that's far away.

Far away, so faint and far, is flaming London, fevered Paris,
That I fancy I have gained another star;
Far away the din and hurry, far away the sin and worry,
Far away – God knows they cannot be too far.
Gilded galley-slaves of Mammon – how my purse-proud brothers
taunt me!
I might have been as well-to-do as they
Had I clutched like them my chances, learned their wisdom,
crushed my fancies,
Starved my soul and gone to business every day.

Well, the cherry bends with blossom and the vivid grass is springing,
And the star-like lily nestles in the green;
And the frogs their joys are singing, and my heart in tune is ringing,
And it doesn't matter what I might have been.
While above the scented pine-gloom, piling heights of golden glory,
The sun-god paints his canvas in the west,
I can couch me deep in clover, I can listen to the story
Of the lazy, lapping water – it is best.

While the trout leaps in the river, and the blue grouse thrills the cover,
And the frozen snow betrays the panther's track,
And the robin greets the dayspring with the rapture of a lover,
I am happy, and I'll nevermore go back.
For I know I'd just be longing for the little old log cabin,
With the morning-glory clinging to the door,
Till I loathed the city places, cursed the care on all the faces,
Turned my back on lazar London evermore.

So send me far from Lombard Street, and write me down a failure;
Put a little in my purse and leave me free.
Say: "He turned from Fortune's offering to follow up a pale lure,
He is one of us no longer – let him be."
I am one of you no longer; by the trails my feet have broken,
The dizzy peaks I've scaled, the camp-fire's glow;
By the lonely seas I've sailed in – yea, the final word is spoken,
I am signed and sealed to nature. Be it so.

The Men That Don't Fit In

There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.

If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new.
They say: "Could I find my proper groove,
What a deep mark I would make!"
So they chop and change, and each fresh move
Is only a fresh mistake.

And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half.
Life's been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;
He was never meant to win;
He's a rolling stone, and it's bred in the bone;
He's a man who won't fit in.

Robert William Service (1874-1958)

Below we see that the FANTASTIC article written by AMERICAN UNIVERSITY professor EXOPOLITICS --GALACTIC HUMAN SLAVE TRADE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE --AI is saying this same thing.  Global banking 1% are LOONEY TUNES so our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE and our 99% of new immigrants have to go to the FUNNY PAGES to follow MOVING FORWARD GOALS.


'In the 18th and 19th centuries, the major colonial powers supported flourishing slave trades in their respective colonies through corrupt local elites or outright conquest of foreign territories. As the abolitionist movement spread and raised consciousness in former colonial powers such as Spain and Britain, these countries led the way in ending the global slave trade. According to the latest testimony of secret space program whistleblower, Corey Goode (aka GoodETxSG), a galactic human slave trade exists where millions of captured humans are taken off planet to distant colonies on other worlds to be bartered or abused'.

MOVING FORWARD today is seeing what were our US 5% to the 1% freemason/Greek players allowed to be WINNERS for a few decades now being aligned to be those REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN sent to overseas FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES with no chance of EVER COMING BACK to an AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

What we are seeing today in US from those global banking 1% CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA now TRUMP is this same assurance for those 5% freemason/Greeks being offshored one way or another----DON'T WORRY, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN COME BACK.  So, too is this being said to our US 99% of WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens being shipped off as well to be EX-PATS under the guise of ordinary quality of life seeking.  

WANT REAL US QUALITY HEALTH CARE---THEN BE A GLOBAL HEALTH TOURIST TO THAILAND WHERE YOU CAN AFFORD IT---DON'T WORRY IF YOU GO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO COME BACK.


'Finally, Corey describes a very positive future for humanity after “Full Disclosure” which will experience a future Star Trek-like civilization where former victims of the galactic human slave trade can safely return'.



We are reading a global banking 1% freemason LITERARY STAR novel THE DEVINER where as usual US readers are being taken back to colonial American history by a main character living today.  REMITTANCE MAN in THE DEVINER is seen as the local SCAVENGER (trash man) who has no connection to his community surrounding him ---his life is tied to CLAN MYTHOLOGY from OLD WORLD.

This is why we say those 5% to the 1% freemason/Greek players often tied to these OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS or global banking 1% are killing their own futures as they are slated very soon to be thrown into that global labor pool EX-PAT slave trade system built by CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA.



THE DEVINERS

---Margaret Laurence

Morag Gunn is a successful forty-seven-year-old novelist who has bought a farm in rural Ontario, where she is trying to write a new novel. The discovery of some snapshots of her as a small child sets off a series of recollections; The Diviners is the story of Morag’s life, told in chronologically arranged flashbacks alternating with events in her present.
Morag was orphaned young and brought up in the small Manitoba town of Manawaka by Christie Logan, the despised town scavenger, and his increasingly obese and inactive wife, Prin.

The US was built on nothing but REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN whether from wealthy families or working class/poor.

ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the so-called "remittance men" and the character of Cannon Beach in Oregon. During the 1890s, a number of bachelors had come over from England and were called remittance men. Remittance refers to the financial support some British men received while living away from home, either as an advanced lump sum or through regular deposits into local banks.

Review: Exemplary history of British remittance men


For a few decades at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, British aristocrats and well-to-do businessmen lumbered with prodigal sons who were unacceptable to their Victorian sensibilities because they were, even more than usual among their class, wasters, gamblers, and sexual eccentrics, would often pack the boys off to the colonies, promising some family support so long as they kept their scandals at a safe distance.

Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons: British Remittance Men in the Canadian West
By Mark Zuehlke
Harbour Publishing




The spendthrift, disinherited and graceless,
accepted his pittance with an easy air,
only surprised he could escape so simply
from the pheasant-shooting and the aunts in the close;
took to the life, dropped easily out of knowledge,
and tramping the backtracks in the summer haze
let everything but life slip through his fingers.

Judith Wright, “Remittance Man”


For a few decades at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, British aristocrats and well-to-do businessmen lumbered with prodigal sons who were unacceptable to their Victorian sensibilities because they were, even more than usual among their class, wasters, gamblers, and sexual eccentrics, would often pack the boys off to the colonies, promising some family support so long as they kept their scandals at a safe distance.



Many of them came to Canada in those decades, and Victoria writer Mark Zuehlke’s book Scoundrels, Dreamers and Second Sons, re-issued this spring by Harbour Publishing after some years out of print, tells their stories.


 Zuehlke grew up in the Okanagan, one of the centres of remittance man settlement in Canada, and he remembers hearing a local legend  (possibly apocryphal but compelling nonetheless) about how these subsidized reprobates left the valley at the beginning of the First World War. According to the story, the nearly 1,000 remittance men in the valley made a pact amongst themselves when news of the outbreak of war reached them by short wave radio. 




On a single day they saddled up, left the modest cabins that studded the valley and rode, each to his neighbour’s cabin. At the next cabin, they shot their neighbour’s old hunting dogs and horses that would be of no use to their Canadian neighbours and burnt down the cabin. While the authenticity of this account remains uncertain, it does provide a powerful image of the young aristocrats beginning their return home under a haze of wood smoke, off to the battle smoke of the Western Front where many of them died as junior officers in the trenches.



At any rate, by the end of the Great War, most of the remittance men who had made western Canada home for a few decades were gone, either joining their generation’s vast burnt offering in the war or  inheriting  the estates of older brothers whose death cleared the way for their return. But before they disappeared into the smokes of legend, battle and ironically acquired respectability, this odd band of unusual British settlers left behind a treasure trove of fascinating stories, which Zuehhlke recorded in this, his first book.



The colourful figures he has rescued from forgotten archives make up a little known chapter in Canadian history. They include the hapless remittance men who arrived in Calgary only to be persuaded by amused locals that they would only be accepted as real western cowboys if they bought a grotesque costume made up of sheepskin chaps with the wool on, huge spurs and a ten gallon hat.



The sight of newly arrived Brits teetering down the street in high heeled cowboy boots in this comic outfit brightened the day of many a 19th century Calgarian. Perhaps even more amusing for Canadians, who tended to see the remittance men as richly comic figures, were the steamer trunks and crates the typical new arrival unloaded from the train at journey’s end, luggage stuffed with tweed suits, dinner jackets, tennis rackets, polo mallets, Norfolk jackets, straw boaters and full china and silver tea sets.



And right across the Canadian west, the remittance men were a steady support to bar tenders and whiskey dealers. Many of the stories Zuehlke has gathered feature the heroic binges and open house parties conducted by remittance men when their checks arrived from home. From Duncan, B.C., known then as the most English town in Canada to Vernon, Windermere and Calgary, the family exiles did their best to support Canada’s alcohol industries.




The re-issue of this charming book is timely. It will make an entertaining summer read, especially for readers who live in some of the communities across the west where the remittance men had their brief turn on the Canadian stage. The prose is consistently competent and amusing, and occasionally moving.




Only one small caveat occurs to this reviewer.  In Zuehlke’s telling, the era of remittance men began shortly after the Crimean war, when the manifest failures of British army leadership exposed in that conflict led to a more merit-based system of selecting officers, a system that closed off the army as an option for no good second sons of the nobility. It is surprising to see Zuehlke, who has prospered as a military historian, suggesting that the officer corps of the Empire’s army was merit based after Crimea. The shambles of military leadership in the  First World War certainly suggests otherwise.

It takes a village: the Malawi school Guardian readers helped build



Thirteen years ago, inspired by an article, readers raised £20,000 to give children living in rural Malawi an education. What happened next?


The four young men standing near the library in the centre of the dusty village of Gumbi have not seen each other for many months. It’s the school holidays in Malawi and they’ve come back to see family and friends. They joke around, laugh about their work, the changes they can see in the village and each other. They look strong, confident and serious, happy to be home.



At 23, James Gomani is the second oldest. He is at university, studying accountancy. His friends Kennedy and Josephy Jimmy, and Yohane Lungu, have just qualified as teachers and are working 100 miles away in villages near Lake Malawi. It’s the first time in a year the four have been together in their dirt-poor village of subsistence farmers, and they talk about first jobs and their hopes.




I first met them in 2002, when they were boys. They were unable to speak a word of English, Malawi’s official language, and used to walk miles barefoot to primary school, collect water from the village pump and work in their family’s maize fields. Those were bad times, they remember. Along with many thousands of other villages in one of the poorest countries on Earth, Gumbi was racked by famine when a long drought destroyed crops two years running.

James was seven then, an only child after his brother and sister died. He and his three friends suffered badly when the food ran out and there was no prospect of another harvest for many months. They remember going hungry, being taught by rote in the shade of a tree and being taken out of school when their parents had no money and needed them in the fields. “No one had any hope for the future,” James says.




But many things have changed since then – and Guardian Weekend readers played a part in that. This is the story of how the village with just one book became a village of teachers.

TEACHERS AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS TRAINED IN THIRD WORLD AS AFRICA ARE THOSE MOST OFTEN PUSHED INTO GLOBAL LABOR POOL AS EXPATS.



***
I first visited Gumbi in March 2002, at the height of the Malawian food crisis, when 80% of the small southern African country of 12 million people were said to be hungry. I had been travelling with the Irish charity Concern, reporting from health clinics, hospitals and feeding centres. It was distressing. Wherever we went, there was shocking destitution, malnutrition and death. In one hospital, at Nambuma, a small town about 50km west of the capital Lilongwe, many of the women and children said they were from a place called Gumbi. Why is it so bad there, I asked a government health official called Patrick Kamzitu.



“Let’s go and see,” he said.

When I first visited Gumbi, there was a single book in a village of 400 people – no water, no electricity, no school

From Nambuma, you get to Gumbi past a huge brick church built by the White Fathers missionaries and a football pitch, down a warren of unsigned narrow tracks through fields of maize. The village consisted then of about 70 mud-built, straw-thatched houses. The place seemed deserted and many structures had no roofs. A few women sat under a tree, their infants listless. A tired-looking man introduced himself as “Mr Jamu, the chief”.




Gumbi had nothing, he apologised. No clean water, no shops and no assets beyond a few bicycles and ox carts. There was a single book in the village of about 400 people, there was no electricity or TV, no clinic, no school or shop, and everyone had run out of food. Gumbi had been hit particularly hard by the drought, he said, because everyone was desperately poor and no one had skills other than maize farming. The village was empty, because in times of hunger people leave to seek work elsewhere.


In those bad days, Gumbi’s “nkhokwe”, the traditional woven granaries in which families stored their maize, were all empty. Many children were being treated for malnutrition in the local hospital, and those who lived did what they always do in a major drought: they sold anything they could, to buy any food they could, at massively inflated prices.



Fit adults left the village to seek scarce day work on building sites or tobacco farms, children were taken out of school, and anyone left in the village ate maize stalks, leaves and berries, prayed for rains that they knew would not come for months, or for food aid to arrive. Some just waited for the end.



Two bad harvests in a row was very rare in Malawi, but in Lilongwe it became clear that this was a manmade famine. The IMF and donor countries, including the UK, had advised the government to sell off its grain reserves because they were expensive to maintain; the EU had said only a little food would be needed in the case of a local disaster. So rich traders had bought and hoarded food and were now selling it at excessive prices, while emergency supplies had been slow to reach landlocked Malawi.



I returned to the village three times that year, with the idea of following life through the famine. I watched as food aid arrived, and then the rains. That year 17 villagers died from malnutrition-related diseases, and nearly all the children suffered from the lack of food.


In December 2002, on a fourth and, I imagined, last visit to the village, five women told me about the issues they were facing. “Hunger is awful,” said Joyce. “I had a child who died of hunger. I went to the hospital but it was too late. I had five children who were malnourished. How can you send children to school if they are malnourished and ill?”


“We have been on the edge of life for a long time,” said Lucy. “It’s the very poor who have suffered. Here there are no rich people, but there are many people with nothing. Maybe we live, maybe we die.” She was beginning to see the children needed access to education. “We do not have the skills to go forward and change our lives. We need to know about other sorts of farming, we need to learn about doing other things. We have no one to teach us.” The women reasoned that without schooling, language and new skills, they would not survive.
***
The great hope of Gumbi at that time was a 13-year-old girl, Margaradena Njewa. She had come top of her class in the nearby Nambuma girls’ primary school, and had passed a national exam giving her entry to one of Malawi’s better, boarding secondary schools. By any standards in rural Malawi, this was an achievement, but for a young Gumbi girl it was a triumph.



The reality, though, was that it would cost the family about £80 a year to send her to the school. There were no scholarships and no money. Instead, she had been helped by the extraordinary sacrifice of her elder brother, Kennedy. So important did he consider his baby sister’s education for the future of the family and the village that he had sold his ox cart, his only means of earning money. It raised about £35, enough to pay for Margaradena’s first two terms.


John Vidal’s 2003 article as it appeared in the Guardian’s Saturday magazineKennedy had no idea how he would pay for the rest of her schooling, but he reasoned that even a few months’ secondary teaching would give her a chance. Some people thought him wrong, even stupid, but a couple of weeks before I visited Gumbi for the last time in 2002, he waved Margaradena off. Kennedy’s own dream, he said, was to learn English and expand his and the village’s horizons. He deeply regretted that he had never been to secondary school. He owned the only book in the village, a tatty English-Chichewa dictionary.



Margaradena was far too shy to speak to me then, but Kennedy told me, “She is very intelligent. She will learn. If this village is to change, then we need education. Without it we cannot survive. If we do not have education, then we will be like slaves.”



I wrote a piece for this magazine about Margaradena and the village’s plight, and added a note asking readers if they would contribute to an education fund. Within days we had raised around £20,000. A fund was set up, to be overseen by Sister Modesta, a Teresian nun from the church in Nambuma, and Patrick Kamzitu, the government health worker who had taken me to the village. Any child from Gumbi (or nearby schools) who passed their government entry exams became eligible for a free secondary education. Orphans and girls were to be given priority.


It sounded easy enough. The families would be given the money, the children would be educated and everyone would prosper. Sadly, it proved much more complicated.

There was immediate progress: in that first year, 30 children had their school fees paid and a local builder was employed to construct a smart new classroom block at the primary school, and an office for the teachers. But no one had foreseen just how derelict Malawi’s rural schools were. The roof of the boys’ primary school in Nambuma had fallen in five years previously, and the whole school in the nearby village of Mguwata was a pile of bricks. Classes of 100 or more were being taught under trees. There was no money for books, blackboards or materials, and no secondary school had light. It was impossible to attract professionals to live in derelict huts without windows or water, and few who came had any qualifications. We realised that it wasn’t just money holding children back, but cultural suspicion, deep necessity and ignorance.


The full disaster revealed itself slowly in the maths. In any group of 100 children in rural Malawi, it emerged, fewer than 60 could expect more than a year’s primary education, and just 10 might qualify to go on to secondary education. Of those 10, nine could be expected to drop out within a year or two, because their parents could not afford the fees or uniforms. Primary education was free, but secondary schooling cost £20 or more a year. In Gumbi, that could be 30% of a family’s income.


Only a handful of Gumbi children had ever got into the local secondary school, St Martin’s, and no one had finished more than a year there. Effectively, the village children ended their school days at age 10, unable to read, write, speak English or do much more than hoe the fields and cook nsima, the national maize dish. Children and parents may have said they wanted education, but they were denied it by absolute poverty. And while parents wanted to give their children the best chance in life, the reality was that, even with an offer to pay the school fees, they needed their children in the fields or at home.


Nevertheless, with cash from Weekend readers, Margaradena had her education paid in an all-girls boarding school at Namitete, near the border with Zambia, and Kennedy was able to buy back his ox cart. Three other children who had qualified for secondary school that year were sent to other boarding schools; a village committee chose three children for boarding scholarships and others to go to day secondary schools.


The fund developed independently of the Guardian, and each year raised about £5,000, largely from a small group of readers, many of them ex-teachers. Every year, the Gumbi education committee was told how much money was available and someone from Britain visited, at their own expense. There were no administrative costs except a small stipend for Kamzitu. We made a commitment to Gumbi that we would stick with it for the long term; this was not just a quick fundraiser.

Rupert Murdoch paid for full-page newspaper apologies for phone-hacking, and the fund doubled. A library was built

By 2007, classroom blocks in several schools had been rebuilt and 55 children were having their fees paid at secondary level. In 2009, Kamzitu wrote: “Of the 64 children who we put through secondary education last year, nine passed their exams – the best results achieved so far. But the biggest change has been the attitude of parents in Gumbi itself. This year, 29 children from the village will go to secondary school, more than twice as many as have ever been before.”



And then in 2011, thanks to Rupert Murdoch, the fund doubled in size. Following the Guardian’s long-running investigation into News International’s hacking of celebrities’ telephones, the Murdoch media empire was obliged to take out full-page advertisements in the UK national press to apologise. The Guardian decided to give this unexpected revenue to charity, and a chunk came to the Gumbi fund. A one-room village library, provisionally called the R Murdoch Education Facility, was built and an expedition was mounted to choose books in Lilongwe. The children returned chastened. In Malawi, £400 may buy a secondary education for dozens of children a year, but it covers only a handful of books.


AS IN OUR US CITIES DURING ROBBER BARON STEALING FROM THE POOR---ALL THESE THIRD WORLD FAKE SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE PROGRAMS ONLY FUNNELED MONEY TO BE LOOTED.



Most of the Murdoch money went to Gumbi’s neighbouring village Mguwata. When I visited it for the first time in 2010, it had worse facilities than most refugee camps. The school, supposedly built for 300 children, consisted of one run-down classroom block, two semi-derelict, roofless blocks and a thatched shelter. The rest was a pile of bricks, the buildings having been demolished five years previously because they were in such a dangerous condition.

The six teachers had no chairs, desks, books, pencils, windows or chalkboards. Only two classes could be held indoors at the same time, so the children sat in the open and were sent home when it was too hot or it rained. Only a handful had ever gone on to secondary school and no one ever finished.


***
This year, more than 100 children are being educated to secondary level in the two villages Mguwata and Gumbi; there are feeding programmes when food is scarce; and all the local schools have solar lighting. The primary school in Mguwata has two brand new classroom blocks and 597 children. But government funding is pitiful. “We get 617,692 kwacha [£585] a year for pens and paper for 597 pupils. That’s less than £1 per pupil per year. That must cover repairs to the buildings, too,” says headteacher Amos Kautsa, showing me the government receipts. “Lots and lots of children drop out, especially the girls.”



The villages are still desperately poor. Gumbi has many more houses than it had in 2002, more tin roofs and bicycles, three football teams, and more people finding work outside the fields. According to some of the parents, people have moved there from neighbouring villages because of the free secondary education.



Last year, solar lighting came to all the local schools, as well as 41 houses in Gumbi and more in Mguwata, after money was left to the fund by a British family. A plaque on the small three-room Mguwata library, its bricks made by the village, reads, “The Dr David Montefiore Memorial Library”.

Chatting in the library, James Gomani and the young Gumbi-born teachers tell me how much they value education. “It means everything,” says Gomani. “I was so happy when I got to university. It was my great hope and aim. But I know that education does not end there. I was the first in my family, the first in the village, to go. But others are working now just as hard as I did. Optimism is a great motivation.”



“Without education there can be no change. With it, everything can happen. People have different aims,” says Kennedy Jimmy.



“Our family was absolutely poor. No one had anything. We had no hope for the future, no sense that there was a future. I am a different person,” agrees his elder brother Josephy.
***
But education divides, too, and guarantees nothing. My visit coincides with the first time Margaradena Njewa has returned to Gumbi in six years. I had seen her only once since she went off to boarding school, when I visited her school in 2005. We had talked for 30 minutes, and I had pressed soap, pens and pencils and a bit of pocket money into her hand. She had told me that she wanted to be a television presenter.



Now a beautiful young woman speaking good English, she is as shy as ever but tells me that she did not pass her national exams and go to university as so many people had wanted her to. Instead, she changed school but was not happy and, after six years of a different boarding school, moved to Lilongwe, where she met a boy and had a child, Priscilla. She is now a kindergarten teacher at a private school in the capital.



She is still in touch with her family but she had not told anyone in the village where she was and what she was doing. Returning to Gumbi last month was clearly emotional. People were glad to see her but did not quite know how to approach this young urban woman with a baby in her arms. From talking to others, I understood that she now felt awkward with her old friends. Education had taught her to speak English, and how to read and write, but life had not miraculously changed for the better.

Margaradena came top of her class, and won a place at a good school. She is now a teacher, with a daughter of her own

“I think I may have disappointed people,” she tells me. “But I don’t want to come back now. What would I do? I would be bored. I want to work. I still want to be a TV presenter.”



“Perhaps she felt there was too much expectation put on her,” Kamzitu tells me. “Everyone wanted to see her succeed. What we have learned is that it’s not enough to give people schooling. They need [vocational] training, too.”

Enterprise DevOps: It Takes a Village 
DevOpsTV
Streamed live on Feb 9, 2017



When talking about enterprise DevOps transformation, many people look for a silver bullet—a magic wand that will convert an old, inefficient organization into a high-performing, DevOps-enabled IT team. But in truth there is no single silver bullet. DevOps takes a village. This DevOps village, like a real village, consists of physical infrastructure, as well as members. DevOps often needs a cultural transformation that builds a true community with the same aims and goals. No one vendor has all the tools and no one tool does it all. DevOps tools must work in unison. Finally, a methodology that recognizes the communal nature of DevOps is essential to bringing it all together.

How NBC Universal sped delivery and cut costs with DevOps


March 21, 2017 | Written by: Kevin Allen

If businesses find the success with DevOps that NBC Universal has, it’s safe to say that it’ll be sticking around.

At IBM InterConnect Monday, Angel Diaz, IBM vice president of developer technology and advocacy, told the crowd, “We are living in a technology-fueled business revolution.”



He was referring, of course, to DevOps, the approach to building software and applications that breaks down barriers between developers, IT staff and operation managers in an agile, iterative environment. It’s about tapping into the collective skill of what Diaz refers to as “the business technical pulse.”



“It’s all about the people; the mastery of the machine and the method,” Diaz said.


One organization that has mastered the machine and the method is NBC Universal. John Comas, who manages the company’s platform DevOps, was on hand to share his account of his company’s journey.
The approachIn a joint session at InterConnect titled “DevOps: The New Reality for Enterprise Transformation,” Comas said his company implemented DevOps to “modernize our technology to align with the business strategy.”



“DevOps gives us the agility to keep up with changes in the marketplace,” he said, “and it enables us to instantly respond to the ever-changing business requirements. Most importantly, it allows us to remain competitive with our corporate rivals.”



He told the crowd that he approached a DevOps culture at NBC Universal through what are commonly referred to as “The 5 C’s”:



With #DevOps, @NBCUniversal is “developing faster and more efficiently than ever and at much lower costs,” says John Comas. #ibminterconnect pic.twitter.com/JgPXmzs8eP
— IBM Cloud (@IBMcloud) March 20, 2017

• Continuous integration
• Continuous delivery
• Continuous testing
• Continuous feedback
• Continuous monitoring

“At its core, DevOps takes software development and systems integration and combines them together using agile methodology,” Comas said.



In his team’s continuous integration, developers commit code to the software configuration management and merge with the main line multiple times per day. Every commit results in a build. In continuous delivery, the same build is deployed to every environment, from development to production, and the team delivers smaller releases more often.


With continuous feedback, his team can provide “the pulse of the application development project” in real time, Comas said.



Continuous monitoring gives his team the ability to immediately alert the development team of any operational disruptions.



Comas said that NBC Universal’s software delivery life cycle was built on and powered through the IBM UrbanCode suite.
“It’s what I like to call ‘the central nexus of our DevOps,’” he said.



“We want to provide our consumers with the most comprehensive, robust, state-of-the-art, bleeding-edge DevOps capabilities in the industry,” he added. “We want to build software as efficiently as possible.”
The resultsWith DevOps, Comas said his team improved the quality of the code. He said the team is developing code “faster and more efficiently than ever and at much lower costs.”



His organization also brought together siloed teams: software development, quality assurance and technology operations.



But the real proof is in the numbers. For its Universal Orlando project, DevOps helped the business:

• Reduce app deployment time from 2.5 weeks to 20 minutes
• Reduce time for 1,000 test suite from 6-8 weeks to three hours
• Instantly provision production-like test environments with Skytap through UrbanCode

Get started on your own journeyIf you’re looking to get started with DevOps, the Bluemix Garage Method combines practices from design thinking, agile development, lean startup and DevOps to build innovative solutions.



“Anyone can learn from the experiences that we’ve had at building this stuff together along with the open source communities,” Diaz said, “by understanding the practices in the Bluemix Garage Method.”

We want to give one personal example of how NOT TO BE TIED TO CLAN-----rather winning because we fight to be US 99% WE THE PEOPLE ---CITIZENS.

WALSH has a long history of OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS medieval players today having many WALSH families as FREEMASON/GREEKS------some with lots of money.  Some are PROTESTANT---some are CATHOLIC ----some are HUMANISTS.

What we see filling our US global banking LITERARY STAR novels et al are stories of AMERICANS looking back at their OLD WORLD CLANS---rather than last century's stories of AMERICA THE GREAT---AMERICA THE FREE---AMERICA the place all the world wants to be.




Walsh Jesuit High School is a private, Jesuit high school in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, United States. Founded in 1964, the school was funded by a gift from and named after Cornelius and Jane Walsh. It has been recognized twice as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, in 1985 and again in 2002.

'The Walsh crest, usually shown with a banner reading the Walsh motto, and topped with a Swan that has been pierced by an arrow'.

So, why did WE not tie ourselves to CLAN---------

BECAUSE WE KNEW MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE for only the global 1% would throw all 5% freemason/Greek players under the bus-----while fighting to be a US CITIZEN-----with US CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS---BILL OF RIGHTS---AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT HUMAN RIGHTS ---THE I AM MAN AND WOMAN RIGHTS -----was light years better than being that WALSH CLAN MEMBER.

These freemason/Greek economic policies tied to 3000BC LAISSEZ FAIRE global market were felt mostly in our original 13 AMERICAN COLONIES.  Our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE did not feel or experience the capture of OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS----we were too busy being CITIZENS within a REAL US DOMESTIC LOCAL ECONOMY actually having rights, freedoms, able to have any political voice we wanted.......YOU KNOW, we were REAL left social progressive US CITIZENS.

We are AMERICAN loving our Irish/Celtic ROOTS knowing the history of REMITTANCE MEN AND WOMEN bringing NO power to our US 99% of WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens.

Please stop CLANNING AROUND --- stand up and be US CITIZENS!

Of course throughout these few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA those terms were directed at rebuilding our US city COMMUNITIES AS VILLAGES-----bringing people together to fight US CITIES AS FAILED STATES.

What we have seen these few decades is this:  the pathway for those global 2% and some 5% global banking players having been STATE DEPARTMENT embassy, UNITED NATIONS, NATO, WORLD BANK, IMF and all those global NGOs built to install ONE WORLD have started taking away those CHAIRS at the table -----as we shout those global 2% are going under the bus very soon.  The new job for these WHACK A MOLE PLAYERS is being TOKYO ROSE meets TRINITY COLLEGE PROPAGANDIST in media and global NGO leadership.


'An underlying theme of “Virtual Diplomacy” is how the traditional notion of state sovereignty is
no longer relevant to the way the world of the twenty-first century will work'.

So, we are seeing more and more of what used to be US STATES MEN/STATES WOMEN disappearing and more and more BIG DEAD HEADS FLOATING ON TELECONFERENCE SCREENS. We say BIG DEAD HEADS because the images of these global banking 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS do not even have to be real ---its all virtual reality.

-
“Virtual Diplomacy” is an Institute of Peace project designed to explore how the global Information
Revolution—today’s explosive growth of telecommunications and information processing capabilities—is transforming international relations. This exploration proceeds from a review of the effects
of the new information technologies on organiza-
tions and the way they do business. Its goal is to
assess the significance of these developments in
communications technologies for managing inter-
national conflict.

What we mean by “Virtual Diplomacy” is political, social, and economic interactions that are mediated through electronic means rather than face-to-face communication.
-
New communications technologies are pro-
foundly altering the pace and pattern of conflict
situations just as they are facilitating new forms of
social organization. What “Virtual Diplomacy” is
trying to do is anticipate how society will evolve
along the complex international pathways of the
World Wide Web, the Internet, the global infor-
mation superhighway, and explore how new in-
formation technologies can be used to manage
conflict more effectively.
-
It may be too early to assess the long-term impact
on contemporary society of computer-managed

information networks and associated systems of
information collection, analysis, and communica-
tion and storage, yet we can already see some of
their profound—and, at times, contradictory—ef-
fects on social organization and action: decentral-
ization and centralization, fragmentation and
integration, transparency, mobilization and ratio-
nalization, acceleration, and “virtuality.”
-
An underlying theme of “Virtual Diplomacy” is
how the traditional notion of state sovereignty is
no longer relevant to the way the world of the
twenty-first century will work. Today, in almost
any part of the world, publics can be mobilized
through radio, telephones, fax machines, and the
Internet, creating “virtual,” or electronic, commu-
nities that are basically divorced from notions of a
territorially defined political community.
-
The world is transparent now in a way it has never
been; we can “see” developments in almost any
part of the world. We are becoming overloaded
with information gathered through all sorts of ve-
hicles, sensors, and people who are able to bring
together through networked communications
their views of the world. This visibility makes it
possible for many more people to take action, but
it also presents decision makers with an informa-
tion glut that they are just beginning to learn how
to manage.
-
The Information Revolution is taking the initiative
in policymaking away from governments. How
policymakers react to and cope with the fact that
their hands are being forced by the mass media--
the so-called “CNN effect”—has created a new set
of challenges for governance and diplomacy. In
addition, the information that is empowering pri-
vate sector individuals and groups means that
nonstate actors are playing an increasingly promi-
nent and autonomous role in the ways that gov-
ernments interact with their citizens and with
other governments.
-
Communications technologies, in and of them-
selves, cannot play the role of third-party media-
tors in a conflict situation; hardware and software
are merely instruments of action. Yet they do facil-
itate interaction and significantly enhance the
exchange of the substance of communication.
“
Virtual Diplomacy” is an effort to assess the ways

vi
that these technologies can help mediate the
communication processes that are essential to
conflict management and resolution.

We want to include below what is a sensationalized article written by what many call the FRINGE.  We want to place this article in context to what is REALLY MOVING FORWARD because these FRINGE articles are often driven by REAL INFORMATION.

We have already spoken of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA and their goals of rebuilding the global slave trade during these few decades of installing FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES overseas and that goal continuing with MOVING FORWARD US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES.


Looking again to HOLLYWOOD for those global banking freemason STARS of STAR TREK-----we saw back in the 1980s KIRK and SPOCK running into a planetary mining slave colony where WAR had ended by a mutual agreement to send a percentage of each planet's citizens to the other planet to be slaves. That of course referred to the building of today's global slave trade nations sending their citizens to other nations to be made slaves.  We shared the FALSE FLAG of this being built in US  with the FAKE national media making it appear a 'LEFT' is fighting for those CA immigrant children when the FAKE LEFT is far-right wing global banking CLINTON/OBAMA neo-liberals top dogs in building these slave trading structures.

We want to take a few days to look at this article to find what in this article is REAL INFORMATION and what is sensationalized to make it appear conspiracy theory.

Remember, these articles preface the goals of PLANETARY MINING SLAVE COLONIES-----but this image is our current EARTHLY ONE WORLD structure of global 1% slave trading our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE soon to join those third world 99% global labor pool citizens having been captured in this system these few decades by global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS.




Galactic Human Slave Trade & AI threat to End with Full Disclosure of ET Life



Written by Dr Michael Salla on May 31, 2015. Posted in exonews, Space Programs


In the 18th and 19th centuries, the major colonial powers supported flourishing slave trades in their respective colonies through corrupt local elites or outright conquest of foreign territories. As the abolitionist movement spread and raised consciousness in former colonial powers such as Spain and Britain, these countries led the way in ending the global slave trade. According to the latest testimony of secret space program whistleblower, Corey Goode (aka GoodETxSG), a galactic human slave trade exists where millions of captured humans are taken off planet to distant colonies on other worlds to be bartered or abused.



Corey claims that the galactic human slave trade is now opposed by an alliance of Secret Space Programs (SSP Alliance) that plan to disclose the full truth about the abusive practices that has plagued humanity for centuries, if not millennia, due to corrupt local elites (Cabal/Illuminati) and intervention by imperial space powers (Draco Empire).



 In part two of his responses to questions sent to him on May 29 Corey explains why the Blue Avian extraterrestrials belonging to a “Sphere Alliance” want him to disclose the darker side of the SSP programs (SSP programs and alliances are explained in part one).
Corey explains that full disclosure of extraterrestrial visitation and different SSPs, requires humanity to be prepared for all aspects of how humanity has been historically and more recently treated by these groups. Revealing this information is not designed to frighten or sensationalize, but to allow the collective consciousness of humanity to integrate the truth of what has happened, in order for humanity to evolve to a much brighter future – what Corey describes as a Star Trek-like society. Not wanting to deal with disturbing information is a sign of not being ready for full disclosure, thereby making it possible for egregious practices to continue. This is analogous to how refusal to discuss allegations of sexual abuse in families can allow these abuses to continue for years.



In his responses, Corey explains just how extensive the Galactic human slave trade has been, the principal parties involved, and the egregious mistreatment of those unfortunate enough to have been taken captive. Corey further explains that “Drop Zones” exist, where the bodies of humans that have been killed, mutilated or exploited in some way have been left, and how national security agencies have suppressed this information.




Corey describes some of the perpetrators of the galactic human slave trade, and includes among the list the “Tall White” extraterrestrials earlier revealed by Charles Hall to be working closely with a covert faction of the U.S. Air Force. In a prior article, it was revealed that a Nazi SS program that used captive human slaves was extended into a secret Nazi Space Program that allied itself with what Corey describes as the “Dark Fleet.” Corey describes his own involvement in a covert program to interrogate human looking extraterrestrials integrated into human society that may have been complicit in the galactic human slave trade, or human mistreatment.



Some of the recent positive developments that have curtailed or mitigated the galactic human slave trade are also described by Corey. He says that the solar system wide quarantine put in place by the Sphere Alliance, has cut back on the number of captive humans previously taken outside the solar system to be sold. Corey describes the very positive role of an Ancient Mayan Space Program that has established colonies in the Pleiades, that has helped significantly in mitigating the galactic slave trade by freeing captive humans and relocating them to sanctuaries on their colonies (in an earlier article I described my own experience with a representative of this Mayan SSP).



 Corey also explains the dangers posed by Artificial Intelligence that has turned on its creators in many other worlds, leading to many extraterrestrial civilizations being destroyed or hunted to extinction. He says that major public figure such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have probably been secretly briefed about the danger, and this has influenced their public warnings against AI.



Finally, Corey describes a very positive future for humanity after “Full Disclosure” which will experience a future Star Trek-like civilization where former victims of the galactic human slave trade can safely return. Humanity will be finally able to evolve into a positive fourth density society where individuals will be free to develop higher consciousness abilities that will significantly improve their quality of life, as writers such as David Wilcock have been very actively promoting.

Q10. Why do the Sphere Alliance beings want humanity to learn the truth about the darker aspects of Cabal/SSP/Draco activities on Earth and beyond regarding captive humans and abuses?



As things are moving forward the SSP Alliance Council and the Sphere Alliance have asked me to begin to cover some of the more disturbing aspects of what will be heavily covered in a “Full Disclosure Event.” Even though many want disclosure to be a moment where everyone around the planet holds hands and sing kumbaya and share a huge loving moment we need to be prepared for the reality of “FULL DISCLOSURE”.  Even though some will cry out that this is “Fear Porn,” it is still more beneficial for them now to learn some of the milder aspects of what they will learn the full details of later on. This is said to set expectations, and slightly reduce the shock and horror of some of the details that will be disclosed about those who have ran our planet.



This is also what the Blue Avians referred to when they said things would get worse before they got better as a necessity for humanity to gain “Genetic Memory” that will help us prevent from repeating past cycles of our history when we are standing on our own for the first time. I understand this is not pleasant information to hear. It was not pleasant to witness or is it pleasant information to deliver to humanity. That is why I have preferred to deliver the “Blue Avian Message” of becoming more loving, forgiving and raising our consciousness and vibrations. I have been asked to put this information out there for you to discern.



Q11. There have been reports of underground bases at Dulce, New Mexico and Pine Gap, Australia where captive humans are taken, abused and experimented upon. Which faction of the Secret Space Program (SSP) primarily run these bases and what is their present status?


In my time in the SSP and having access to much information about these facilities I never saw “Dulce” mentioned once in documentation or on maps. This doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it just means I was shown information about many dozens of other bases both underground and undersea that were doing these types of reported activities and “Dulce” was never mentioned among them. The other listed above was one that was mentioned among some of the locations where human testing, trafficking and other horrible activities were taking place. Pine Gap is a very dark place. These places are mainly run by the ICC, Dark Fleet and Military Black Ops Factions that are under the control of the Cabal/Illuminati (or Secret Earth Government Syndicates).


Q12. You have referred to the Cabal “trading millions of kidnapped civilians from the surface (per year) to off world beings in exchange for technology.” Can you explain how this is done? Does it involve kidnapping street children in impoverished areas of countries like Brazil, India, etc., and/or children in developed countries like the US; and/or civilians in war zones; or is there another source of these kidnapped civilians?



Yes, the number has decreased in the past year because of the Outer Barrier. I understand this is some very disturbing and controversial information. I was asked to deliver it because it appears that the bulk of these people’s crimes against humanity will be coming out soon according to the evidence that has been presented by some of the Cabal Defectors who have been taken off world (though some in the Cabal are attempting to negotiate and also use disinformation to control the narrative to prevent much of this from coming out).



Many of us knew that this was going on but even we were shocked by the scope of the human trafficking that was going on. When “Full Disclosure” does occur people need to understand that much more detailed information on these matters is going to come out. This will be a shocking time for everyone as these and other horrific crimes against humanity are revealed about the “Elite” who have ruled over us and what they have been doing in the shadows throughout history.



Q13. Who are the principal parties involved in organizing and facilitating this galactic human slave trade?



This is some pretty horrific and controversial information. It starts out with in some cases with your run of the mill organized crime groups who are into the sex and slave trade which is very much alive in the 20th and 21st centuries. Many of these crime groups or gangs have specialists who work from lists of desired people to be obtained (many others are victims of opportunity). These specialists often are kind elderly looking people or professional people (including Medical, Law Enforcement and Education to name a few) that no one would consider a threat, come in contact with a lot of people and are generally trusted. These people operate in just about any country you can think of. Often people are grabbed who live on the streets, in third world countries (that they can through their power in) or from inattentive parents. This level of human trafficking brings in many hundreds of thousands of people per year into the slave trade. These people do not know or care what happens to the people they obtain and hand off to handlers in exchange for money.



 Then there are the special operator groups who have a specific shopping list and will go through a great deal of trouble and personal risk to obtain certain types of individuals that are on their lists. People at this level know that their victims are going into something bigger than just the global human trafficking systems and they deal directly with Cabal/Illuminati types. These Cabal/Illuminati types then funnel abducted people into their processing centers where the people are cataloged and it is decided if they will be sent below ground for various uses by allied ET’s or will be used as a commodity in off world trade.



There is no currency or financial system that is used between space faring civilizations so everything is based on bartering. Some ET’s are interested in some of the Earth’s Art (again some of our most famous missing historical art pieces are in off world collections), Luxury Items like Spices/Chocolate (strangely enough), Animal and Plant Life while many others are interested in trading their technology and biological specimens they have obtained elsewhere for Human Beings. These Humans are used for many purposes including manual slave labor, sex trade, engineering/manufacturing (we are well known for the abilities some of us have with certain technical skill sets). There are some of the ET’s that use Humans as food resources in various ways (Of which I will not go into detail).



The Secret Earth Governments and their Syndicates discovered that a large amount of humans were being taken off the planet by various ET’s anyway so they decided to find a way to profit from it and have control over which people were being taken. In prior arrangements they were made promises of receiving technologies and biological specimens for allowing groups to abduct humans but the ET’s rarely delivered on their promises. Once they had developed the advanced infrastructure (ICC) in our Sol System along with advanced technologies (that some of the thousands of ET groups traveling through our system were now interested in obtaining) and now had the ability to deter most unwelcome guests from entering Earths airspace the Cabal/ICC then decided to use human trafficking as one of their resources in interstellar bartering.



Q14. You have said about these human slaves taken off planet, that: “There is a plan in place that takes all of these peoples’ lives in account.” What do you mean by that? Will they be relocated to Earth in the future or taken to other off planet locations for sanctuary?



There is a plan to remove these people post “Full Disclosure Event” from their state of slavery and have allies that have assisted us previously take them to their planets where they rehabilitate these individuals. These planets are said to be very peaceful and “Eden Like” and are used for relaxation and rehabilitation of traumatized humans and human type ET’s. This place has the advanced technologies and higher density humans present to assist people in recovering and being ready to integrate back into healthy societies. Once these people have been treated and are healed of their traumas they will be returned to the A.D. (After Disclosure) Civilization on Earth where they will choose their new lives. If they choose to remain on the planets where they were rehabilitated they will be allowed to do so. They will most likely be returned in waves (as they are ready) as will the other humans being treated at these locations for traumas related to being traded off into slavery by those who currently control the Cabal/ICC/Dark Fleet Infrastructure in our Sol System.



Q15.  Alex Collier has described Andromeda Council ships intercepting Gray/Dow spacecraft with the extracted souls of children being taken off planet?


Do you know anything about soul extraction technologies, and what role they play in a galactic human slave trade?



I had to go and look at this material because I was not familiar with it to answer this question. There are quite a few groups that get lumped in under the “Grey” category.


REMEMBER, THERE ARE 50 SHADES OF GREY!



There are literally thousands of different types of beings that normally travel through our region of space all of the time. Most never stop to communicate with others in our Sol System or interact with the current civilizations in control of our system. This will change once we are in an “A.D. Civilization” (After Disclosure) and behave like higher vibratory beings. Most of them arrive and just calculate and wait for their portal opening that they will use to travel the “Cosmic Web” to other Galaxies and Star Systems. There are many groups that use humans as food and energy sources but I never was briefed or read any reports of actual souls being stolen from humans and taken off world. There were devices that were types of crystals that would store types of human energy (“Loosh”). I did read of technologies that were used to “Push” the souls of one person into another or into clones but did not learn of any “Soul Theft” that was occurring. I have had people send me emails saying that they are having parts of their soul ripped off and stolen but I have not seen anything in the programs that explain what people are experiencing or if they are misinterpreting what is occurring to them. I have not personally seen the “Soul Transfer Technology” or know for sure how it works. I have had a couple of people explain it to me but these people have been outside of the programs and are providing third or fourth hand information.



Q16.  Charles Hall wrote about a base at Nellis Air Force Base involving a race of Tall Whites that reached agreements with the USAF in the 1950s whereby they trade technologies such as advanced spacecraft for various Earth resources. Do you know what these resources are that are taken from the Earth, and are the Tall Whites one of the parties involved in the illicit off-planet slave trade?



I watched a video of Charles Hall about 4 or 5 years ago if not more. This information is mostly accurate and the group he refers to as the “Tall Whites” does do trade with the Cabal/ICC and also independently with some Military Black Ops Factions. Despite his experiences with them they are not considered very friendly or social towards humans or other ET’s. They are somewhat isolationists but do have representatives that occasionally take part in some of the “Super Federation Conferences” (Group of multiple ET Federations that get together in a UN Type Conference on a regular basis). I do not know for certain in what way they use humans but do know that they have been tied to some of the areas where human bodies are known to be dropped by multiple ET Groups that the Military Black Ops Groups keep an eye on and cleans up when necessary. I do not know if they are using them for a resource or are doing testing on them as a part of the genetic experiments that many groups have been conducting on humans for quite some time. These reported human deaths could be unintentional for all I know.



Q17. You have described a case where a Mayan SSP rescued an entire village that had been taken by an extraterrestrial group. Can you describe what happened to the villagers and whether there are plans to return them to Earth?



The Mayan Ancient Break Away Civilization is one who has recently stepped up and been a very good friend to humanity. They had relocated over 40 million of their own people in the distant past to planets they had colonized mostly in the Pleiades Star Cluster. Those that were left behind were those mostly of “Mixed Blood” as a result of intertribal marriages. All of the Ancient Break Away Groups have a history of maintaining racial purity. They have kept underground bases of operation active in South and Central America since that time. The Mayan Break Away Group has kept very much to themselves and has not interacted with the majority of other Ancient Break Away Groups and ET’s and have a very different type of technology and spiritual development. They are extremely “Service To Others” oriented and peaceful. Their technology is very advanced and consciousness based and are considered a 4th Density civilization by many in the SSP Alliance.



 I experienced firsthand their ability to disassociate the negative emotional energy we associate with certain traumatic experiences when they assisted me with the “Halo Device” that I described in an earlier Q&A exchange we had. They use these and other methods to assist the many thousands of recovered humans who have been traumatized by their treatment while in captivity by various ET’s that they were traded off to by the Cabal/ICC Groups.



There have been methods developed to tag individuals and marauder ET vessels who have come into our Sol System, entered the Earth’s Atmosphere and abducted anywhere from small groups of people to entire small villages across the globe. This has occurred for longer and more often than people may want to believe.



Using this tracking method this Mayan Break Away Group and other allies assist us in retrieving as many of the abducted humans as possible. Unfortunately not all of these people are still alive when they are located but any survivors are retrieved. Often it is some time before they are able to retrieve these people and in the interim they have been through any number of unmentionable traumatic experiences. The allies who assist in these rescues place the victims in the care of the Mayan Break Away Civilization and their ET allies who operate these trauma recovery locations. The SSP Alliance observers who have been to these off world operations didn’t want to leave. We are told that this is the future of our civilization if we make the right decisions “A.D.” (After Disclosure).



Q18.  You have described your involvement in an interrogation program of captured extraterrestrials involved in the human slave trade. Can you describe what happened in these interrogations and how the information was used?



There was a program that I was assigned to for a short time that was an ET “Intercept and Interrogation Operation” as “IE Support” (Intuitive Empath). This program mainly was retrieving human ET’s, ET’s in disguise and Ancient Break Away infiltrators into our society. The SSP’s were abducting these beings from homes and even high rise office buildings where they had setup cover lives and were living among the general population on Earth. They would be picked up and interrogated to identify where they were from and what their agendas were. If they cooperated and were deemed to not be a threat they were warned about the policy that was in place for groups to petition to do social studies on Earth while being monitored, and then were allowed to contact their support teams to retrieve them. Others were sent to be held in stasis in a holding facility in the Sol System that slightly resembles a certain “Space Prison” in the movie Lock Out.



Later members of this program were tasked to use the interrogation methods on captured ET’s from disabled or downed vessels that were involved in the abductions of humans from across the globe. They were tasked with finding out where these people were being taken and for what purposes. This is when quite a lot of intelligence was gathered about the dark purposes that some ET civilizations had for human captives. It was a long and disturbing list. This information and the tagging methods that were developed became very instrumental in providing the needed intelligence to our allies that has allowed them to retrieve an extremely large amount of human captives and relocate them to where they can be cared for.



Q19. There have been reports of human mutilations and “Body Drop Zones” involving certain ET groups. Can you describe which ET groups were involved, why they are performing such acts, and what has been done to prevent such activities?



 These drop zones have been in use going back at least to the early 1920’s that have been documented. Why numerous ET’s have chosen the same areas to drop the bodies of dead humans and animals is unknown, but it is assumed to have to do with them being in regions close to nodes that are apart of natural portal networks. Usually these bodies appear to have been dropped from altitude and are in different states depending on which group had abducted them. Different groups abduct humans for different purposes. Even those who use humans as a food or energy source use different methods and portions of humans in their processes. I will not go into details and I believe some of the information about certain gland, hormone and other organ removal has been leaked on the Internet. There are a wide range of ET’s that do genetic and other experiments on humans with no regard to preservation of life that use these dumping grounds as well. This is still going on although it has been greatly reduced with the Outer Barrier being put in place. Those ET’s that are trapped on Earth that still consider humans as cattle still use some of these drop zones. The zones are usually off limits to the general population and policed by federal agents and Military Black Op’s Factions who send cleanup crews whenever there is a body reported. These bodies are identified and the disappearances investigated, but no closure or information is given to family members and the bodies are not given to them for burial.



 Q20. In the Friendship contact case involving human looking extraterrestrials that established underground bases in Italy and helped educate civilians about extraterrestrial life from 1956-1978, the extraterrestrials claim that their bases were attacked and destroyed by a synthetic extraterrestrial race in 1978 who followed them to Earth. Are these synthetics a form of Artificial Intelligence that has plagued other extraterrestrial civilizations?



There is quite a lot that went into what people call the friendship cases during the 1950’s through 1970’s. Most think they completely stopped but they actually continue to this day but they have changed their tactics and approaches. Some of these groups were actually Ancient Break Away Groups while others were refugees who run from star system to star system to escape the ET/AI problem that they created on their home worlds. These ET/AI’s at a certain point always turn on AI Prophets after they have achieved complete control and autonomy from them. At this point they consider the beings that they used to build up their infrastructure and build biological androids for them to occupy to be nonessential and a threat. They will then wipe out that civilization and pursue any survivors where ever they go until they are able to wipe them out. This has been repeated in many thousands of civilizations in multiple galaxies for many hundreds of thousands of years. Some of the crashes that have been recovered in the 1940’s and 1950’s were from these ET/AI Biological Androids and their technologies (sometimes as a Trojan horse to infiltrate our civilization).



There was quite a lot of contact going on in the 1950’s through 1970’s and this ranged from ET Refugees, Break Away Civilizations pretending to be ET’s to actual ET’s trying to make contact with nongovernment groups of people to provide warnings of what we were dealing with as a Civilization during that time frame (mistakes our leaders were making). Those who were contacted were not spiritually evolved just as many who feel they are in contact with ET’s are not even today. They would mix information with their belief systems as well as develop Christ Complexes and over developed Egos that would end up causing them to behave unethically.


 Q21. In the recent remake of the television series Battlestar Galactica, artificial intelligence turns on its human creators and destroys their civilization. You have said that this is something that has occurred on other worlds. Does humanity face a similar threat as we progress into a post-disclosure world?  



 Yes, this is a huge threat being that many in the Secret Earth Government and Syndicates are major “AI Prophets”. The ET AI’s have some time predictive abilities that have kept these groups one step ahead and every time it looks like they are finished they find a way to survive. There is a classified plan to rid the planet of this ET AI infestation in the “A.D. Civilization”. To completely remove all remnants of the ET AI is going to involve the energetic changes effecting the Sun as well as a global operation timed perfectly to make sure all remnants of the AI Signal are removed.



Those who are AI Prophets are already working on a timeline to create a society completely dependent on technology that at one point will hand its sovereignty over to this “AI God” because it will be believed that this AI is the only thing that can rule the world from a neutral perspective and bring world peace for the first time. These AI Prophets have been shown the information of the thousands of other civilizations that have fallen for this trickster god model and were all destroyed. In true “AI Prophet Form” they arrogantly believe this will not happen to us. It appears that this AI has seen something coming up in the future because there has been a sudden rise in “Pro-AI Articles” in the mainstream media very recently. Nothing will change their minds and it is impossible to debate or change their minds about their goals. This is yet another part of the information that will be released in a “Full Disclosure Event” that the people of Earth will have to work through.



 Q22. People like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawkings have spoken out against the dangers of Artificial Intelligence. How might humanity best avoid the dangers posed by AI as we introduce more advanced computer and information technologies?

OH, REALLY???? YOU MEAN THE BIGGEST PUSHERS OF ONE WORLD ONE TECHNOLOGY GRID SPOKE OF THE DANGERS?  HOW HISTORY REVISIONIST OF YOU!



It is my opinion that some people in power on the Earth have already been “Read In” to the “ET/AI Threat”. I have been told that some people have been read into the full details but I have not been provided a list of who. People such as the two mentioned are excellent candidates of people I would choose to inform because of the work they do and the influence they have.



The best way to avoid the dangers of AI is to educate yourself on the potentials they have to cause a loss of sovereignty. Becoming too dependent on technology is something else that will make you more of a target to be controlled by AI influence or even be infected by an “AI Signal” that can live in the bioelectric field of your body. This signal can then have an effect on the way you think and behave. This is something that is screened for even currently when operators and guests arrive at SSP Facilities and is something that other ET Groups take seriously as well.



 Q23. You have described some of the technological means used by the SSPs and ET civilizations to guard against AI infiltration. Can you explain why and how psychics were used as means of last resort to prevent infiltration?



There may be some confusion here. The “IE’s” are used in the interrogation of AI Prophets as well as to detect deception or danger in conferences. There are hand held devices that are held against the forehead that scan people for an “AI Signal Infection”. If an infection is detected they are isolated from any technologies into sealed SCIFF Rooms where they are then “Cleared” of AI Signals which is not a pleasant process and requires a moderate electrical shock to overload the person’s bioelectric field as a part of the process.



Q24. You have said that after a “Full Disclosure Event” humanity will be free to transition into a Star Trek Civilization era? Will this post-disclosure Earth be a third, fourth, fifth or higher density society?



This will occur as we are still going through the energetic changes in our Sol System that are changing our vibratory and consciousness state to that of a 4th Density Civilization. Until then we will be a transitional civilization that will have access to advanced technologies that we should have had access to for almost a hundred years. We will be going through a new Renaissance of learning our true history, suppressed unified physics and mathematics models, learn all kinds of information about exobiology as well as have access to technologies that will make our way of life change from a stressful and traumatic daily struggle to a healthy fulfilling existence where we are encouraged to pursue our passions and interests.



All of the infrastructure built out in our Sol System by the Cabal/Illuminati, ICC, Dark Fleet (which is not a Draco Fleet but a Human Fleet that serves the Draco Alliance) and other SSP Groups will be handed over to the “A.D. Civilization” to be the backbone of a “Star Trek” like civilization. All of the people that ran that infrastructure as slave labor will be returned to the “A.D. Civilization” once they have been rehabilitated from their traumatic lives; and they will rejoin this new era and help build the new civilization that will be ran completely by humanity, and not manipulated or interfered with by outside groups in any way.



 Q25. You have described the Sphere Alliance beings as having the conscious power to teleport in and out of our reality without the use of space travel technology. Are such advanced consciousness abilities something that might become more widespread in a post-Disclosure world?  



I have heard David Wilcock and others describe what a 4th Density Civilization is capable of. We will have a more cohesive shared consciousness which has a direct effect on energy, matter and reality. I do not think we will have the abilities of the Sphere Beings who have stated in no uncertain terms that they come from the 6th through 9th Densities (There is probably a wider scale of densities than we are aware of or able to comprehend currently). I do not know exactly what abilities we will eventually develop in 4th Density to be honest. I do not know if we will all get them at once or will develop them over time. Different people have their own theories based on their research but no one knows for certain. It will be quite an interesting journey for those of us who practice becoming more loving, forgiving and consciously become more “Service To Others” oriented. People who focus on raising their consciousness and vibrations are going to be in a far better place than any of the lower vibrational “Service To Self” people who are of a negative and self-centered polarity. These people may experience a different timeline all together where they have to repeat a 3rd Density Cycle until they learn compassion, and get their journey and karmic issues straightened out.

What MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE TECHNOLOGY/ENERGY GRID has already started putting in place is VIRTUAL DIPLOMACY.  Our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE and global 99% of citizens are shown these images of UNITED NATIONS and all those global NGOs tied to being world leaders -------acting as if our nation UNITED STATES is being represented when indeed none of those US elected officials were working for AMERICA----they were virtual players inside a shrinking US STATE DEPARTMENT of real people........

So, our 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE are not even included in what is happening in these WORLD STRUCTURES ----and those global 1% do not even see our 99% of citizens as people----HILLARY STATE DEPARTMENT------not even caring what 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE wanted as AMERICAN POLITICS.

So, what was a United States with 50 states having elected representatives once REALLY elected by our US 99% WE THE VOTERS has seen those elected corrupted and rigged so that only global banking 5% freemason/Greeks win all MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE.  Now, our US 99% of citizens have no voice inside our own nation.  The goal is taking away the voice of a Western Europe, US, and Canada as world leaders------and creating an even smaller cabal of global 1% while eliminating all NATION STATES ----but they are NOT building CITY STATES-----as some of our US 99% of citizens wax romantically for days of MEDICI -----RENAISSANCE GLOBAL MERCHANTS AS KINGS.

Baltimore was a major source of 5% state department diplomats and United Nations players all MOVING FORWARD global banking 1 %neo-liberalism ------our entire school structure is tied to LAISSEZ FAIRE because of this pipeline to NGO STATE DEPARTMENT employment. THAT IS DISAPPEARING so too the jobs.

Virtual diplomacy – a new way of conducting international affairs?
Submitted by Radu Cucos On Tue, 11/13/2012

The international community has been witnessing a drastic reduction in the diplomatic representation of governments and international organizations around the world. Strong international actors, such as Germany, France or the United Kingdom, as well as countries with less “firepower” on the global stage, have been closing down embassies, consulates and other types of foreign representations for various reasons. In light of this trend, virtual diplomacy has emerged as a possible alternative to the regular way of doing diplomatic business. The extent to which IT can help governments achieve their foreign policy objectives will therefore be a topic receiving more and more attention in the near future.



Although diplomats usually have diplomatic immunity, the diplomatic community was not immune from the effects of the economic recession. Great Britain decided to share embassies with Canada because of the austerity measures. Romania closed fourteen embassies in Africa and South America. The Philippine government recently terminated the operation of its embassies and consulates in Caracas, Koror, Dublin, Barcelona and Frankfurt. Greece has stopped the operations of six embassies and three consulates around the world as part of sweeping cuts. And these are just a few examples.



The volatile situation in the Middle East is another major factor that has led to shifts in the diplomatic and consular presence of certain countries. The French government announced that it will temporarily shut down premises, including embassies and schools, in 20 countries. Germany closed its embassies in many Middle Eastern countries on Friday, September 21, 2012.  The US, Canada, Israel and most of the EU countries have terminated the operations of their missions in Iran.



Although closing down embassies and consulates reduces costs, such cutbacks can harm international cooperation in many ways.  Diplomatic missions play an important role in promoting economic and trade ties and people-to-people contact. Public diplomacy is critical in strengthening cultural and educational exchanges. Thus, when deciding to close down missions around the world, governments have to find other mechanisms to be able to continue and even further develop international cooperation.



One of the best examples of IT replacing some aspects of the traditional diplomacy is the Virtual Embassy of the United States to Teheran, Iran.


It is a website that was developed by the US State Department after the closure of the US Embassy in Tehran. The Virtual US Embassy is no different than any other US embassy website. The significance of this project is that it opens up a new diplomatic space – the virtual one. For the first time in diplomatic history, a country is using the Internet to establish a virtual presence in a particular part of the world. The concept of a “virtual embassy” has great potential and that such an online presence can serve as much more than a source of information about politics, economy, trade or cultural affairs between countries. A virtual embassy can serve as a platform to provide e-services to people from the sending and receiving states. This innovative approach inevitably does not have the full functionality of a traditional embassy or consulate but it is the next best thing when such an embassy or consulate does not exist.


The development of social media tools has changed the way diplomats interact with people, communities, non-governmental organizations and even foreign governments. Diplomats have quickly understood that Facebook, Twitter and other similar social media tools provide an opportunity to spread important information in a very fast manner and at almost no cost. The rise of social media has basically opened a new area for competition on the international stage. Foreign services are now competing for virtual influence on top of geopolitical influence, and one can imagine a scenario where virtual supremacy could someday be more important than geopolitical supremacy.  Social media has diplomatic clients all over the world and on all continents. It is not only the US State Department, the UK Foreign Office, the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and other foreign services of first-world countries which are present and active on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, diplomatic institutions from countries such as Nigeria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Moldova or Belarus are also trying to promote their diplomatic interest in the virtual space.



“Open data” is another IT-related emerging concept that is currently at the top of the diplomatic agendas of an increasing number of countries. First developed as a tool for transparency and the reuse of public information, open data quickly has become an instrument for international cooperation. As a result of diplomatic efforts, including those of US President Barack Obama, the Open Government Partnership was created as a cooperation platform between states. As of today, 57 countries have committed themselves to the principles of the Open Government Partnership. One of the greatest values of the Open Government Partnership is that it can bring together countries with different political and economic perspectives to the same table, including Georgia and Russia, which currently have strained political relations.



The World Bank is a major stakeholder that contributes to promoting open data initiatives around the world. The Bank has established the Open Development Technology Alliance as a platform for knowledge sharing, expertise and capacity building for countries aspiring to use open data for accountability and improving the delivery and quality of public services. More importantly, the World Bank has mainstreamed the open data concept in its projects. The Moldova Governance e-Transformation project is the Bank’s first project with a separate component dedicated to the development of open data institutional, legal and operational frameworks. In the framework of the project, the Moldovan government has published around 445 data sets from 32 ministries, with a total of almost 66 thousand downloads since March 2011. Moldovan citizens can easily access data on crime rates, public expenditures, road accidents, disaster relief, infrastructure, school locations, water quality and other critical information needed for daily life. Open data is a win - win option. For governments, it creates transparency and economic opportunities, and for citizens, it is an empowering tool with which they can hold their policymakers accountable.



E-services have been increasingly permeating the diplomatic environment by leaps and bounds for quite some time. Good examples of e-consular services are the ones developed by the foreign services of Turkey, Poland, Australia or the US. Under the World Bank e-Transformation project, the Moldovan government is developing an electronic visa service. This e-service will make it easier for foreign citizens to obtain a visa to Moldova without the need to travel to an embassy or consulate and wait in line in order to submit their visa application.



Implementation of virtual diplomacy has its risks. Data protection and security, infrastructure set-up and institutional frameworks are issues countries should think about very carefully. The international diplomatic community has already had a negative experience with the leaking of US State Department cables, which endangered the cooperation between different international players. Nevertheless, modern technology offers possibilities which could mitigate the risks.



It is clear that forward – looking professionals and institutions involved in international relations and diplomacy are experimenting with new forms of cooperation. Virtual diplomacy is being embraced in different forms, by an increasing number of countries and international organizations and it is gaining more and more ground with respect to traditional diplomacy. Obviously, we should not expect virtual diplomacy to totally replace traditional diplomacy. Mutual trust, which is probably the most important concept in international cooperation, can be built only by personal interaction. Nevertheless, it’s without any doubt that virtual and traditional diplomacy could be compliment goods, economically speaking.


IT enabled diplomacy provides great opportunities for countries, especially the ones in transition. By using innovative ICT tools such as social media, e-services and open data platforms, foreign services can leapfrog and play a greater role on the international stage and thus enabling smaller countries to “punch above their weight” and earn a space at the same table with other strong international stakeholders. One need only look at the example of Estonia, a small, former USSR country, which has earned particular international recognition for its remarkable e-government achievements.

He authored a couple of dozen articles on conflict resolution topics in academic journals in the 1990s, then invented "exopolitics", moved to Kalapana, Hawaii[1], and went into the popular book biz, mostly self-published.


The reason our US REAL LEFT SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE academics educating as to REAL goals of MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD all last century was not heard by our US 99% of citizens black, white, and brown citizens is this-----these are the media outlets and GLOBAL NGOs created to look crazy and conspiracy theorist when they are the ALICE having hidden global 1% agendas. Yes, as with all US universities, so too do all these UNITED NATIONS STATE DEPARTMENT 5% player tracks to employment see failing pathways to employment.  It doesn't matter if these UNITED NATIONS STATE DEPARTMENT ONE WORLD tracks are filled with third world 5% global banking 1% players or US, European 5% players ---they all simply do what they are told.

Oz Educational Institutions witnessed 12 % rise in International student enrolments in 2016


Higher educational instructions in Australia witnessed a significant rise in international student enrolments in 2016. The Department of Education and Training (DET) has released data pertaining to the student enrolments that reveals that the enrolments went up by 12 percent in 2016, as compared to the same in 2015.



The Year-to-Date data released by DET also discloses that new students enrolling for a particular course at certain institutions, as well as commencements, went up by 11 percent in October 2016. According to the statistical calculations, the numbers released by the Department of Education and Training are alarmingly higher than the numbers claimed by institutions and Department of Immigration and Border Protection.



Australian DET states that, “International student enrolment data generally does not represent the number of overseas students in Australia or the number of student visas issued in different countries. Instead, data counts actual course enrolments. The exception is the data at the beginning of a month which represents a close approximation to the number of students enrolled on that day,”


The possibility is that an individual student could be in the count more than once. For instance, a student can enroll twice during the same educational period by enrolling in an English language program before moving on to a graduation program.


According to the sources in higher education department, 30 percent of total enrolments in Australia are accounted by international students. Australia’s Department of Education and Training has reported that higher educational institutions have seen 13 percent growth until October 2016, followed by Vocational program institutes at 12 percent. Consolidated data shows that international student enrolments in these institutes are about 70 percent in October 2016.



In data calculated from 2013, international student enrolments in Australia have gone up by 36 percent. Most of the international students are from Asian countries. As per statistics, about nine out of 10 countries in Asia are sending its students to Australia.
Out of total Asian students, 28 percent of them are from China, followed by India at 11 percent. While Students from Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand are at 4 percent. Brazil is the only non-Asian country that accounts for 4 percent of total international student enrolments. Surprisingly, Brazil tops the list of Growth from 2013 with 65 percent of total enrolments followed by India at 63 percent and Nepal in third position with 58 percent.

We are MOVING FORWARD to that image of BIG DEAD HEAD wizard of OZ that is seen only to frighten any 99% of citizens away ---

5a. Rise of City-States: Athens and Sparta

The Acropolis played an integral role in Athenian life. This hilltop not only housed the famous Parthenon, but it also included temples, theaters, and other public buildings that enhanced Athenian culture.Geography plays a critical role in shaping civilizations, and this is particularly true of ancient Greece.



The Greek peninsula has two distinctive geographic features that influenced the development of Greek society. First, Greece has easy access to water. The land contains countless scattered islands, deep harbors, and a network of small rivers. This easy access to water meant that the Greek people might naturally become explorers and traders.



Second, Greece's mountainous terrain led to the development of the polis (city-state), beginning about 750 B.C.E. The high mountains made it very difficult for people to travel or communicate. Therefore, each polis developed independently and, often, very differently from one another. Eventually, the polis became the structure by which people organized themselves. Athens and Sparta are two good examples of city-states that contrasted greatly with each other.




Athens: The Think Tank



Life was not easy for Athenian women. They did not enjoy the same rights or privileges as males, being nearly as low as slaves in the social system.The city-state of Athens was the birthplace of many significant ideas. Ancient Athenians were a thoughtful people who enjoyed the systematic study of subjects such as science, philosophy, and history, to name a few.

WHO IS PUSHING MOVING FORWARD WHERE LIFE FOR OUR 99% OF WOMEN WAS AS LOW AS SLAVES?  TODAY'S 5% GLOBAL BANKING 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS PLAYERS.



Athenians placed a heavy emphasis on the arts, architecture, and literature. The Athenians built thousands of temples and statues that embodied their understanding of beauty. Today the term "classical" is used to describe their enduring style of art and architecture.Athenians also enjoyed a democratic form of government in which some of the people shared power.



Sparta: Military Might


Life in Sparta was vastly different from life in Athens. Located in the southern part of Greece on the Peloponnisos peninsula, the city-state of Sparta developed a militaristic society ruled by two kings and an oligarchy, or small group that exercised political control.

Ares Borghese, 420 B.C.E. Photo © Maicar Förlag — GML
Ares, the Greek god of war, was a particularly fitting patron for Sparta, which was known to be a rather warlike society. When they weren't fighting another city-state, Spartans were honing their military skills in preparation for the next battle.Early in their history, a violent and bloody slave revolt caused the Spartans to change their society. A Spartan, Lycurgus, drafted a harsh set of laws that required total dedication to the state from its people. The laws' goal was to train citizens to become hardened soldiers so that they could fight off potential enemies or slave revolts. The result was a rigid lifestyle unlike any seen in Greece at the time. The devotion of Spartans to developing a military state left little time for the arts or literature.


A Spartan baby had to be hardy and healthy. To test a baby's strength, parents would leave their child on a mountain overnight to see if it could survive on its own until the next morning. By age seven, Spartan boys were taken from their families and underwent severe military training. They wore uniforms at all times, ate small meals of bland foods, exercised barefoot to toughen their feet, and were punished severely for disobedient behavior. Boys lived away from their families in barracks until the age of 30, even after they were married. Men were expected to be ready to serve in the army until they were 60 years old.



Women, too, were expected to be loyal and dedicated to the state. Like men, women followed a strict exercise program and contributed actively to Spartan society. Although they were not allowed to vote, Spartan women typically had more rights and independence than women in other Greek city-states.


Winning by Losing


The differences between Athens and Sparta eventually led to war between the two city-states. Known as the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.E.), both Sparta and Athens gathered allies and fought on and off for decades because no single city-state was strong enough to conquer the others.




The whole of Hellas used once to carry arms, their habitations being unprotected, and their communication with each other unsafe; indeed, to wear arms was as much a part of everyday life with them as with the barbarians. [2] And the fact that the people in these parts of Hellas are still living in the old way points to a time when the same mode of life was once equally common to all. [3] The Athenians were the first to lay aside their weapons, and to adopt an easier and more luxurious mode of life; indeed, it is only lately that their rich old men left off the luxury of wearing undergarments of linen, and fastening a knot of their hair with a tie of golden grasshoppers, a fashion which spread to their Ionian kindred, and long prevailed among the old men there.Thuycidides, The Peloponnesian War, (1910 translation by Richard Crawley)


With war came famine, plague, death, and misfortune. But war cannot kill ideas. Despite the eventual military surrender of Athens, Athenian thought spread throughout the region. After temporary setbacks, these notions only became more widely accepted and developed with the passing centuries.

Rising: Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies


Educating Global Leaders for Tomorrow's Challenges


Thanks to more than 5,800 donors, the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (Johns Hopkins SAIS) has made important strides in Rising to the Challenge: The Campaign for Johns Hopkins. We have established the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs, bringing at least 10 new faculty here specializing in international affairs and long-term strategic analysis. In collaboration with the undergraduate international studies program of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, we have created the Aronson Center for International Studies to sharpen our focus on conflict resolution in such critical regions as the Middle East. We have built a stronger base of support for core needs such as fellowships.

YOU KNOW-----THAT KISSINGER CONTROL THE GLOBAL FOOD AND ENERGY CONTROL THE WORLD -----EISENHOWER LOVED KISSINGER!


In extending our campaign's end date from June 2017 to June 2018, we have raised our philanthropic goal to $170 million from $160 million, signaling that there is more to do. We invite you to read on and learn about our priorities for the extended campaign. With your partnership, we will: 



Transform fellowship support by endowing new full-tuition fellowships to ensure excellence in our student body and enrich the school with students whose backgrounds and life experiences are underrepresented at the school. 


"The funding I’ve received has made an enormous impact on my time at Johns Hopkins SAIS. Not only has it allowed me to delve deep into my graduate studies, but it has also given me the freedom and the time to take on leadership roles in the student life and extracurricular activities that make the school such an enriching place."


— Sierra Bayles, MA '16, Lucius D. Battle Fellow, Broze Family Fellow, President of the Global Women in Leadership student organization


Revolutionize the student experience by creating more opportunities for experiential learning both in and outside of the classroom.



Summer internships, practica, and co-curricular trips ensure that current students can put their academic learning into practice. Guaranteeing these unique, hands-on experiences will continue to distinguish us from peer institutions, providing the programs and resources they need to excel and make an impact not just in a few years but today.



Cultivate faculty excellence and diversity by providing teaching and research support to faculty the school's 20 programs.


Assemble the smartest and most dedicated people, give them the resources and facilities they need, and they'll change the world. With this seemingly simple formula, the faculty and students of Johns Hopkins SAIS have produced unparalleled new knowledge and unequalled progress in the sphere of practice, where ideas incubated in classrooms take flight.


Modernize our classrooms and facilities to enhance teaching and learning, through targeted renovation.


There is an adage that "people make places, and places make people." Cultivating a welcoming, pedagogically-sound environment for teaching and learning has a direct effect on how — and how well — students learn, and it crafts their sense of identity as budding policy-makers. A state-of-the-art learning space will also help attract top students and professors to the school.

A Surge of Women Candidates, but
Crowded Primaries and Tough Races Await


By KATE ZERNIKE and DENISE LU MAY 12, 2018

These are the 476 female House candidates this year.ARDMORE, Pa. --



Just as the women’s marches and #MeToo helped define 2017, the surging numbers of female candidates have defined the midterm races now underway. Yet for all that, the November elections may not produce a similar surge in the number of women in Congress.


#METOO was a global banking 1% UNITED NATIONS FAKE WOMEN'S MARCH------FOR ONLY THE GLOBAL 1% OF WOMEN.



More than half the female candidates for House and Senate seats are challenging incumbents, who historically almost always win; there were far more wide-open races in 1992’s so-called Year of the Woman, which doubled the number of women in Congress. A large percentage of the women now running for open seats are in districts that favor the other party. And many female candidates are clustered in the same districts, meaning many will be eliminated in this spring and summer’s primaries.

1992 WAS THAT MOVEMENT OF CLINTON NEO-LIBERAL WOMEN BY NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN GIVING US THOSE 5% WOMEN PLAYERS AS ROBBER BARON SACKING AND LOOTING OF AMERICA.  THIS WAS NOT OUR 99% WE THE WOMEN MOVEMENT.



Last Tuesday’s primary elections in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and North Carolina help illustrate the steep path. Two women ran for Senate, both were long shots, and both lost. In House races, 27 women won — more than half. But 16 will challenge incumbents in November, 15 of them in districts firmly favoring their opponents.



Here are all the women who have filed or are expected to file to run for a House seat, according to a New York Times analysis of data from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers:

ARDMORE, Pa. — Just as the women’s marches and #MeToo helped define 2017, the surging numbers of female candidates have defined the midterm races now underway. Yet for all that, the November elections may not produce a similar surge in the number of women in Congress.

Here are all the women who have filed or are expected to file to run for a House seat, according to a New York Times analysis of data from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers:


Each figure here represents one of the 476 women who are part of this record surge.



Some have already lost in primaries that have been held. 321 Democrats and 106 Republicans remain.
If a woman were to win in every primary in which at least one is running, 323 women would advance to the general election.
But many are running in districts where the opposing party is heavily favored, which would eliminate about half, leaving 171 women.
If a woman wins in every district where one is running, 152 female voting members would make it to the House. That would nearly double their current share but men would still outnumber women by nearly two to one.



The increase in the number of female candidates tilts largely toward Democrats — at the start of this year, the number of Democratic women seeking House seats was up 146 percent from the same point in 2016; among Republicans, it was up 35 percent. And many of the women have less experience in government and politics than those who ran for Congress in the past.
“While we are encouraged by the energy and the enthusiasm and the engagement of women, I think we also at the same time have to be cognizant of the fact that many of these women, even when they win their primary, will be running very tough races in November,” said Debbie Walsh, the director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.



“We are not going to see, in one cycle, an end to the underrepresentation of women in American politics that we’ve seen for 250 years,” she said. “The concern is, we need this energy and engagement to be here for the long haul. This is a marathon, not a sprint.”

The race here in Pennsylvania’s newly drawn Fifth Congressional District, which includes South Philadelphia and the mostly affluent bedroom communities of Delaware County, shows both the energy of women in the midterms and why this election may not be a repeat of 1992.



Six women are running in the Democratic primary this Tuesday — more than in any other congressional district in the country.


The local political news of the past year has increased the urgency among many party officials and voters to elect a woman. The incumbent in the seat, Representative Patrick Meehan, announced in January that he would not seek re-election after revelations that he used taxpayer money to settle a sexual harassment complaint brought by a former aide. A state legislator who had been considered a front-runner for the seat abandoned his run after former staff members accused him of inappropriate touching and sexual jokes. And a state legislator representing much of the district has refused calls to resign after another lawmaker, a former girlfriend, obtained a restraining order against him, accusing him of assault.

There are no women in Pennsylvania’s 20-member congressional delegation. And the state legislature ranks among the bottom for representation of women, hitting 19 percent this year.


“Afghanistan is 19 percent,” said Mary Gay Scanlon, one of the Democrats in the congressional race, milling between potential voters at a meet-and-greet at the home of a Democratic committeewoman on a recent Saturday morning.



But party officials worry that the six female candidates, who are largely aligned on the issues, will split the vote and hand the nomination to one of the two well-funded male candidates — one a longtime state legislator, the other a labor-backed former deputy mayor of Philadelphia.



With days to go in the race, one of the women, Molly Sheehan, said last week that the state legislator, Greg Vitali, had asked her to drop out and endorse him. Ms. Sheehan, a bioengineer at the University of Pennsylvania who has outraised Mr. Vitali and has the support of several resistance groups, argued that he would not have made a similar request of a man. (He said he had.)

Even those who dismiss the notion that women vote only for women and men for men say that with 10 candidates in the race, someone could win with a relatively small percentage of the vote. At a hard-fought Delaware County endorsement meeting recently — about 500 committee members voting in four rounds — no candidate secured the 55 percent to win.



Republicans, meanwhile, have endorsed a woman, Pearl Kim, a daughter of South Korean immigrants and a former county prosecutor and deputy state attorney general who could appeal to the well-educated women who have long been considered swing voters in the suburbs of Philadelphia.



“I honestly feel the men who stepped in are out of line,” said Rachel Amdur, the vice chairwoman of the Haverford Democratic Committee, which has stayed neutral in the race. “This is what women do, women recognize it’s not their year all the time. Men do not.”


“The drivers of the Democrats are women,” she said. “It makes me crazy that when it comes to voting, people say, ‘Oh, we’ve got to have the man.’”



Ashley Lunkenheimer, a Democratic candidate who is a former federal prosecutor and whose campaign literature prominently features her wife and three young children, agreed. “This is not us versus them,” she told the audience at the recent Saturday meet-and-greet. “But we have a moment.”



Ms. Sheehan said she was inspired to run by what she saw as the misogyny of President Trump’s campaign; she recalled sobbing next to her daughter’s crib the night he was elected. But her campaign, she said, is more about broadening economic opportunity and reducing the influence of money in politics.


“The Democratic Party wasn’t doing a good enough job fighting for working people, getting people out of poverty,” she said.



Ms. Scanlon, who served several terms as an elected school board member and leads the pro bono practice at Ballard Spahr, a large Philadelphia-based firm, led the voting in the recent endorsement contest. Speaking at the meet-and-greet, she tied women’s access to health care to women’s economic success: “At least having a woman in the room is going to raise their profile, and raise the level of the conversation.”



Ms. Kim, the sole Republican candidate, whose career has been largely spent as an advocate for victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking, said she did not hear much about gender on the trail. “Mostly, it’s people explaining to me that they’re excited to see a fresh new face,” she said.



Nationally, 422 women are still in the running for House seats, according to the Center for American Women and Politics, including some women who have not officially filed.


Of those House candidates, 55 percent are challenging incumbents, and 29 percent are running for open seats.

The State of Trump's State Department

Anxiety and listless days as a foreign-policy bureaucracy confronts the possibility of radical change


The flags in the lobby of the State Department stood bathed in sunlight and silence on a recent afternoon. “It’s normally so busy here,” marveled a State Department staffer as we stood watching the emptiness. “People are usually coming in for meetings, there’s lots of people, and now it’s so quiet.” The action at Foggy Bottom has instead moved to the State Department cafeteria where, in the absence of work, people linger over countless coffees with colleagues. (“The cafeteria is so crowded all day,” a mid-level State Department officer said, adding that it was a very unusual sight. “No one’s doing anything.”) As the staffer and I walked among the tables and chairs, people with badges chatted over coffee; one was reading his Kindle.




“It just feels empty,” a recently departed senior State official told me.


This week began with reports that President Donald Trump’s budget proposal will drastically slash the State Department’s funding, and last week ended with White House adviser and former Breitbart head Stephen Bannon telling the attendees of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference that what he and the new president were after was a “deconstruction of the administrative state.” At the State Department, which employs nearly 70,000 people around the world, that deconstruction is already well underway.

In the last week, I’ve spoken with a dozen current and recently departed State Department employees, all of whom asked for anonymity either because they were not authorized to speak to the press and feared retribution by an administration on the prowl for leakers, or did not want to burn their former colleagues. None of these sources were political appointees. Rather, they were career foreign service officers or career civil servants, most of whom have served both Republican and Democratic administrations—and many of whom do not know each other. They painted a picture of a State Department adrift and listless.



Sometimes, the deconstruction of the administrative state is quite literal. After about two dozen career staff on the seventh floor—the State Department’s equivalent of a C suite—were told to find other jobs, some with just 12 hours’ notice, construction teams came in over Presidents’ Day weekend and began rebuilding the office space for a new team and a new concept of how State’s nerve center would function. (This concept hasn’t been shared with most of the people who are still there.) The space on Mahogany Row, the line of wood-paneled offices including that of the secretary of state, is now a mysterious construction zone behind blue tarp.



With the State Department demonstratively shut out of meetings with foreign leaders, key State posts left unfilled, and the White House not soliciting many department staffers for their policy advice, there is little left to do. “If I left before 10 p.m., that was a good day,” said the State staffer of the old days, which used to start at 6:30 in the morning. “Now, I come in at 9, 9:15, and leave by 5:30.” The seeming hostility from the White House, the decades of American foreign-policy tradition being turned on its head, and the days of listlessness are taking a toll on people who are used to channeling their ambition and idealism into the detail-oriented, highly regimented busywork that greases the infinite wheels of a massive bureaucracy. Without it, anxiety has spiked. People aren’t sleeping well. Over a long impromptu lunch one afternoon—“I can meet tomorrow or today, whenever! Do you want to meet right now?”—the staffer told me she too has trouble sleeping now, kept awake by her worries about her job and America’s fading role in the world.


“I used to love my job,” she said. “Now, it feels like coming to the hospital to take care of a terminally ill family member. You come in every day, you bring flowers, you brush their hair, paint their nails, even though you know there’s no point. But you do it out of love.”



Some try to conduct policy meetings just to retain the muscle memory and focus, but, said another department employee, “in the last couple months, it’s been a lot more sitting around and going home earlier than usual.” Some wander around the streets of Foggy Bottom, going for long, aimless lunches. “I’m used to going to three or four interagency policy meetings a week,” the employee added, referring to the meetings in which policy is developed in coordination with other government departments. “I’ve had exactly one of those meetings in the last five weeks.” Even the torrent of inter-department email has slowed to a trickle. The State Department staffer told me that where she once used to get two hundred emails a day, it’s down to two dozen now. “Not since I began at the department a decade ago has it been so quiet,” she said. “Colleagues tell me it’s the same for them.”



A lot of this, the employee said, is because there is now a “much smaller decision circle.” And many State staffers are surprised to find themselves on the outside. “They really want to blow this place up,” said the mid-level State Department officer. “I don’t think this administration thinks the State Department needs to exist. They think Jared [Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law] can do everything. It’s reminiscent of the developing countries where I’ve served. The family rules everything, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows nothing.”



Right now, those I’ve spoken to in the department seem to know very little about what’s going on. The staffer told me that she finds out what’s going on at State from the news—which she spends all day reading because, after years of having her day scheduled down to 15 minute blocks, she has nothing else to do. And even the news itself isn’t coming from official sources. There hasn’t been a State Department press briefing, once a daily ritual, since the new administration took over five weeks ago—though they’re scheduled to resume March 6. These briefings weren’t just for journalists. They also served as a crucial set of cues for U.S. diplomats all over the world about policy priorities, and how to talk about them. With no daily messaging, and almost no guidance from Washington, people in far-flung posts are flying blind even as the pace of their diplomacy hasn’t abated.



“Meetings are happening,” said one American diplomat stationed abroad, “but it is noticeable that we’re not having press briefings, which makes it hard for ambassadors waiting to take cues. We’re able to echo what Mattis, Tillerson, Pence say. But we’re still not there in aggressively promoting president’s agenda.” Other American diplomats, especially those in geopolitically sensitive posts, find themselves going on old, Obama-era guidance because no new guidance has been issued. But “the diplomacy goes on,” said another American diplomat abroad. “People notice every little change in our position,” the diplomat said. “And we don’t always know where the administration is or is going to be, so you operate on old guidance until Washington takes a new position. We’re largely taking our cues from the president, vice president, and Secretary Tillerson’s remarks and from reading the Spicer briefings,” referring to the daily briefings of White House press secretary Sean Spicer. “We are watching the news and seeing how quickly we can get our fingers on the [Spicer] transcripts,” the diplomat said.

When Rex Tillerson finally arrived in the building, members of the department I spoke to had very high hopes for him. People wanted to like him. But his remarks to the staff left many cold, and confused. “He only spoke of reform and accountability,” said the State Department staffer. “He offered no vision of America and its place in the world.” He also spoke of protecting missions abroad, which some read as a gratuitous reference to Benghazi. “It landed like a thud,” said the staffer. “There are all these people whose sole focus is protecting missions abroad. What do you think we’ve been doing for all these years?”



The fact that there hasn’t been a deputy secretary of state nominated, and that many undersecretary slots sit empty, is also unnerving to a bureaucracy used to relying on a strict hierarchy to get things done. “Not having a deputy ... is going to become a problem real soon,” the staffer said. “The world has been pretty quiet but it won’t stay that way.” She and others I spoke to worry about the optics of Tillerson flanked by empty seats during his meeting in Bonn, Germany, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who was accompanied by a dozen aides. All these details send signals that other countries’ leaders and diplomats pore over for indications of potential policy changes. “With the Chinese, protocol is policy,” said the mid-level State officer. “We’re sending signals that are potentially damaging the relationship in ways we can’t anticipate.”



It also worries some State employees that Tillerson was unable to name his own deputy. His choice of the neocon Elliott Abrams was vetoed by the White House because Abrams had criticized Trump, and many in Foggy Bottom saw it as yet another signal that they and their secretary were being downgraded. “It’s troubling that his first battle with the president, he lost,” said the State employee. “If he couldn’t even bring in his own staff member, it’s concerning for future issues.”
On Tuesday, Trump confirmed their fears, telling Fox and Friends that there was a reason he wasn’t filling certain government posts: “in many cases, I don’t want to fill those posts. … They’re unnecessary.”



But while senior State appointees have yet to be appointed, other staff has been showing up. The Office of Policy Planning, created by George Kennan after World War II, is now filled not just with Ph.D.s, as it once was, but with fresh college graduates and a malpractice attorney from New Jersey whose sole foreign-policy credential seems to be that she was born in Hungary. Tillerson’s chief of staff is not his own, but is, according to the Washington Post, a Trump transition alum named Margaret Peterlin. “Tillerson is surrounded by a bunch of rather mysterious Trumpistas,” said the senior State official who recently left. “How the hell is he supposed to do his job when even his right hand is not his own person?” One State Department employee told me that Peterlin has instructed staff that all communications with Tillerson have to go through her, and even scolded someone for answering a question Tillerson asked directly, in a meeting.



Peterlin did not respond to request for comment, but former Newt Gingrich aide and State public affairs senior advisor R.C. Hammond clarified that the malpractice attorney was the White House liaison to State, and denied that Peterlin had issued such instructions or admonishments, or that the State Department was slow and listless. “The place is humming,” he said.




He and his staff pointed me to, among other people, Christiaan James, who is the Arabic-language spokesperson for State’s bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. He is busy; he spends a lot of time fielding questions from the Arabic-language press. “Even though we haven’t had a press briefing since January, we still get a lot of inquiries,” he said. “There’s still a lot going on, and we have to respond.” In the absence of a press briefing, staffers are now winging it, trying to interpret for their questioners what the American president meant when he seemed to toss overboard the idea of a two-state solution. “This actually came up yesterday,” James said. “An Egyptian channel wanted me to go on air and talk about this.” So, using the “two pages of guidance” put out by the press officer on the Israel-Palestine desk, James told them that, whatever the two sides agree on, “the United States is committed to finding a solution to this, that we’re going to be involved in the process. It’s about telegraphing that the U.S. is committed and not getting into the nitty gritty, and talking in more general terms until something more specific gets developed.”



Michelle Bernier-Toth, who runs overseas services for American citizens abroad, meanwhile continues to monitor the world for crises that might affect U.S. citizens and make consular services for them even more efficient, but she told me that she didn’t need guidance from the White House or even the Secretary of State. “What we do, we just keep on doing it,” she told me. “We’re very much a heart that keeps going. The consular side is law-based, so that’s our guidance.”



A State Department public-affairs officer was on the line with us when we talked. Another public-affairs officer was also on the line when I spoke to Paco Palmieri, a career foreign service officer and the acting assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs. Palmieri has had plenty to keep him busy, from Tillerson’s meeting with the Brazilian foreign minister in Bonn, Germany to his trip to Mexico, but he is an acting assistant secretary and he doesn’t know how long it will take for a political appointee to take his place. “Sometimes as an administration gets started, it takes some time to get a definitive answer but that just means you work harder to get to it,” he told me. “Every transition is unique.” Then the public affairs officer hustled him off to his next meeting.




According to the other people I spoke to, though, Tillerson seems cut off not just from the White House, but from the State Department. “The guidance from Tillerson has been, the less paper the better,” said the State Department staffer. “Voluntary papers are not exactly encouraged, so not much information is coming up to him. And nothing is flowing down from him to us. That, plus the absence of undersecretaries and assistant secretaries means there’s no guidance to the troops so we’re just marking time and responding.”




Many in the State Department openly acknowledge that the department is bloated, that it is at times inefficient and redundant. But they don’t understand why the culling is being done in such a crass and indiscriminate manner. “They didn’t talk to anyone, they didn’t ask them what they did, they just told them to look for other jobs,” said the mid-level officer of the seventh floor dismissals. “Nothing will make you a libertarian faster than working in the federal government,” said the State staffer. “There are inefficiencies, there needs to be reform. They certainly have a right to staffing, or lack of staffing,” the staffer said of the new administration. “But doing it without an analysis of where the inefficiencies are, the cutting just won’t be rational or effective. It just creates ill will.” The last month, the staffer said, “has been a very deliberate stress test.” “There seems to be no effort to benefit from the knowledge and expertise of people who are here, who just want to help,” said the mid-level officer. Instead, they see the White House vilifying them as bureaucrats no one elected, and it all seems, the mid-level officer said, “symbolic of wanting to neuter the organization.”



“This is probably what it felt like to be a British foreign service officer after World War II, when you realize, no, the sun actually does set on your empire,” said the mid-level officer. “America is over. And being part of that, when it’s happening for no reason, is traumatic.”

Asia-Pacific trade deal signed by 11 nations


By Tim McDonald BBC News, Singapore

• 8 March 2018

Eleven Asia-Pacific countries have just signed the trade pact formerly known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Although the US pulled out last year, the deal was salvaged by the remaining members, who signed it at a ceremony in the Chilean city of Santiago.



Chilean foreign minister Heraldo Munoz said the agreement was a strong signal "against protectionist pressures, in favour of a world open to trade".
The deal covers a market of nearly 500 million people, despite the US pullout.


In the absence of the US, it has been renamed the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
Extraneous adjectives aside, its supporters say it's hugely significant, and could be a model for future trade deals.



What does it do?


Its main purpose is to slash trade tariffs between member countries.
But it also seeks to reduce so-called non-tariff measures, which create obstacles to trade through regulations.


There are chapters which aim to harmonise these regulations, or at least make them transparent and fair.
There are also commitments to enforce minimum labour and environmental standards.


It also includes a controversial Investor-State Dispute Settlement mechanism, which allows companies to sue governments when they believe a change in law has affected their profits.



Who's in it?


In alphabetical order: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.


The US is conspicuously absent.
President Donald Trump fulfilled an election promise by pulling out in January last year, labelling the deal a disaster for American workers.

Who are the winners and losers?



In short, the biggest winners are expected to be in Asia, while the wealthier countries, on balance, are not expected to receive as much of a boost.


The Peterson Institute for International Economics says Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Vietnam will each receive a bump of more than 2% to their economy by 2030.


New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Australia will all grow by an additional 1% or less.
The same study says the US could be a big loser, foregoing a boost to its Gross Domestic Product of 0.5% (worth $131bn).


What's more, it could lose an additional $2bn because firms in member countries have an incentive to trade with each other instead of with American companies.
Donald Trump isn't the only one who has failed to be convinced of its value, though.


Unions (particularly in wealthier member countries such as Australia and Canada) say the deal could be a job killer or push down wages.


Some economists have also suggested that free trade agreements are rigged by special interests, which makes their economic value far more dubious.


Is there any point without the US?

Yes, but there's no question the deal is diminished without the involvement of the world's largest economy.


The remaining nations' economies account for more than 13% of the global economy - a total of $10 trillion dollars.

• Trump executive order pulls out of TPP trade deal
• TPP: What is it and why does it matter?

With the US, the deal would have represented 40%.


Australia's Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, says the deal has been set up to allow it to admit new members, possibly including the US.


However, the revised agreement dropped about 20 of the original provisions (mostly those insisted on by the US), suggesting a US re-entry would require some intense negotiation.


And although Donald Trump is on record saying he'd be open to a substantially better deal, his broader hostility toward trade pacts would suggest it's a remote possibility.


Could the UK join?

Sure, why not? There's nothing banning it, even if most of the members are on the other side of the world.


Australia, at least, has indicated that it's open to the idea, and the UK's International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, has signalled some interest in joining after the UK completes its departure from the EU.


But it's unlikely that membership would provide an immediate replacement for its EU trading partners after Brexit.


That's because the region isn't a major destination for UK exports.

• TPP: Could UK really join Pacific trade group?
• Brexit: UK could join Pacific free trade zone, says Liam Fox

And while growing new markets would arguably be the whole point, it's unlikely to happen overnight.
The signatories accounted for less than 8% of UK exports last year, according to research by the Observatory of Economic Complexity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The UN Is Using Virtual Reality to Make the Rich and Powerful Feel Empathy



A new campaign uses virtual reality documentaries to raise awareness and trigger empathy.



Doug Bierend
Aug 28 2015, 6:00amPhoto: Doug Bierend



I'm standing on the rooftop of an abandoned building in Monrovia, Liberia. My gaze drifts from the setting sun to the man next to me strumming a homemade guitar. Singing along is a young woman named Decontee Davis, a survivor of the Ebola pandemic that has tormented West Africa since 2013. She's just led me on a tear-jerking tour of her life here in Liberia, including the hospital where her immunity lets her nurse the sick without risk of infection.


There's no risk to me though—in fact, she and I aren't really here. It's the final scene in a virtual reality documentary I've been immersed in for the last six minutes, courtesy of the United Nations.


Waves of Grace is the second in a series of short films made in collaboration with VR video app Vrse and filmmaker Chris Milk (and some funding from VICE). It's an effort to use virtual reality to connect people with real life in the strife-ridden parts of the world that too often remain distant and abstract.



Even with the limitations of current VR gear, it's damn effective, enough that it's easy to talk about the film as though it were an actual experience. Decontee Davis's voice was in my ear as I stood at the side of a hospital bed, where she sat with a patient for whom human contact was no longer a part of everyday life. I visited a dusty schoolyard where children sang and glanced warily at me. I stood at the foot of an open grave as anonymous men in white suits lowered a body bag, so close I could almost feel it brush my knees.



"I just didn't feel like they were really, truly understanding what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes, and I think that all of them need to."



Removing the headset, I was suddenly returned to the top floor of the swanky Manhattan hotel where the screening was held. Surrounded by well-dressed people holding wine glasses as they took turns putting on the headset for their own moment in Davis's world, the disorientation drove home just how immediate Ebola-ravaged Liberia had felt during those six minutes.


For years, people have been talking about the power of VR as a tool for building empathy. Journalists, artists, doctors, are among the many who've been experimenting with the medium's ability to convince the brain to accept what it's being shown as real.



Gabo Arora is new media advisor for the UN and co-director of these documentaries. He and a cameraman traveled with a custom-built camera that shoots 3D video in 360 degrees. It's discreet enough to be left running in the middle of, say, a classroom, and occasionally becomes an object of curiosity to passers by. The result is not unlike what it might feel like to be an out-of-place visitor, sidelong gazes and all (of course it's just people curious about the weird camera, but it feels like it's directed right at you). It all combines to make this distant place that's been devastated by Ebola feel present and tangible.



"This is how people are living in a very ordinary way, but there's a horror in the ordinary," Arora says. "I'm not in front of them with the camera. They become alone with their own struggles, and you're able to see them in their ordinary way get through something that's terrible."


Waves of Grace. Photo: Vrse.works
Heads of state, billionaire donors and other decision makers make up a key intended audience for these films. In the first UN VR doc, Clouds Over Sidra, a young Syrian girl takes viewers on a poignant tour of the Za'atari refugee camp where she lives. Its first screening was held at the World Economic Forum in Davos where some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people donned headsets to experience a slice of displaced life in Syria.

In his former role as a senior policy advisor at the UN, Arora says he saw first-hand the disconnect that can exist between the powerful and those who live with the consequences of their decisions.




"I think a lot of these people, even when they would go into Za'atari Camp or someplace like that, it's with an entourage," he says. "I just didn't feel like they were really, truly understanding what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes, and I think that all of them need to."



The reach is spreading fast. There are already copies of Clouds of Sidra in 40 different countries and 15 different languages, with plans to extend into classrooms. Arora says there are also some promising signs that these films may actually stimulate fundraising where they're used. That may ultimately be the most important factor in whether this uncharted program survives at an institution that's quite content to continue trotting out celebrities as its main way of raising awareness around world issues.



Waves of Grace. Photo: Vrse.works
There are other immersive films in production. One takes place on the toxic Ganges River, another amid the ruins of the earthquakes in Nepal, and there are plans in the works for a VR documentary shot in Gaza. Once released, the films are viewable for anybody with a VR headset (if you have a smartphone, you're already halfway there). Clouds Over Sidra and Waves of Grace can be watched via Vrse's app as of September 1st.

Now, those global banking 1% can make all that ONE WORLD ONE TECHNOLOGY GRID all they want speaking to each other through artificial intelligence virtual AVATARS======


What does this all look like locally in our US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES? It is unrolling NOW with US city infrastructure building projects always being called JOBS JOBS JOBS waiting for a TRUMP or his next global banking 1% player pretending to be a US President-----to send those trillions for infrastructure building. This is why it is critical for our US 99% WE THE PEOPLE to start those peaceful protests now ----because as global corporate campuses and global factories are built---so, too is all that ONE WORLD ONE ENERGY/TECHNOLOGY GRID-----that will capture our entire US infrastructure to these global 1%. ONE WORLD ONE ENERGY/TECHNOLOGY GRID gives total control of all US infrastructure to those global 1% we will only see as BIG DEAD WIZARD OF OZ HEADS.



It is critical our US infrastructure rebuilding remain local -------remain analog as well as digital-----remain free from any central command THE RED BUTTON having goals of shutting down our entire nation with the flick of a switch. This is what will end not only our jobs locally---but it will eliminate all those STATE DEPARTMENT/EMBASSY----representing a sovereign US REPUBLIC ----no pathway for 5% freemason/Greeks thinking they are on that YELLOW BRICK ROAD.


SMART CITIES SMART GRID not smart at all for all US 99% of WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens and our 99% new immigrant citizens!



The old, dirty, creaky US electric grid would cost $5 trillion to replace.

Where should infrastructure spending go?

The electric grid is an amazing integrated system of machines spanning an entire continent. The National Academy of Engineering has called it one of the greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century.


But it is also expensive. By my analysis, the current (depreciated) value of the U.S. electric grid, comprising power plants, wires, transformers and poles, is roughly US$1.5 to $2 trillion. To replace it would cost almost $5 trillion.



That means the U.S. electric infrastructure, which already contains trillions of dollars of sunk capital, will soon need significant ongoing investment just to keep things the way they are. A power plant built during the rapid expansion of the power sector in the decades after World War II is now 40 years old or older, long paid off, and likely needs to be replaced. In fact, the American Society of Civil Engineers just gave the entire energy infrastructure a barely passing grade of D+.



The current administration has vowed to invest heavily in infrastructure, which raises a number of questions with regard to the electric system: What should the energy grid of the future look like? How do we achieve a low-carbon energy supply? What will it cost?



Infrastructure seems to be an issue that can gather support from both sides of the aisle. But to make good decisions on spending, we need first to understand the value of the existing grid.



Current state of transition


The electric grid is intended to last decades, yet few people realize the entire system must finely balance supply and demand across timescales as brief as a second. Every watt of electric power for lighting homes, operating laptops or running air conditioners is generated at the same time in different locations, mostly by burning fuels that spin magnets in generators. There is essentially no storage of electricity on the grid; instead most energy is stored in fuels – coal, natural gas, nuclear products and water behind dams, waiting for the command to be converted to electricity in real time.



Location and depreciated status of all U.S. power plants. Joshua Rhodes, EIA Form 860 data.



In recent years, where we get our power has changed dramatically. The oldest generators are large power plants, with many located in the eastern part of the U.S. Most recent additions have been smaller and more spread out – think rooftop solar panels or wind farms. Some experts have even said that this model of more distributed generation closer to where power is consumed – along the edge of the network, rather than central power plants – is the new norm.



Going forward, we can either build the grid back the same way we’ve done before or we can invest in new technologies that can bring the same service but at a lower cost.



And how could we make it cleaner?


Some people think the grid can run completely on renewable energy sources. Others say the best way to “decarbonize,” or reduce carbon emissions, for the energy system as a whole is widespread electrification of the industrial and transportation sectors.



But to answer what such transitions would cost, we need to know: What does the current grid cost? How much is all the concrete, steel, silicon, etc. that we have already installed in the ground currently worth? To help inform policymakers and planners grappling with their vision of the future, I set about to answer that question.



What makes up the grid?For this exercise, I’ve limited “the grid” to the following parts:

1. Power plants
2. High and low-voltage transmission lines, which transport power over long distances
3. Distribution lines, which bring power directly to buildings or other end points
4. Substations for routing power on the transmission grid
5. Substations on the distribution grid
6. Transformers that change voltages on the distribution grid

This calculation leaves out additional and necessary components of the grid, such as the electric wire inside your home, meters at the electrical panels on homes and buildings and end-use devices that consume the electricity.


Combing through a variety of public reports and using updated estimates for new construction and standard approaches for estimating depreciation, we quantified the value of the nation’s assets for power generation, transmission and distribution.



The total capacity of these power plants is about 1.15 terawatts. That’s the generating capacity of about 1,000 nuclear power reactors (the U.S. currently has about 100). As you can imagine, that would be costly to replace. For power plants alone, the replacement value is nearly $2.7 trillion, and the depreciated value, or the rough current value, is nearly $1 trillion. Overall, the breakdown of the value is about 56 percent power plant, 9 percent transmission system and 35 percent distribution system.



Breakdown of the replacement and depreciated value of U.S. electric infrastructure. Many of the underlying data sources, including from the EIA, are the same as those recently utilized in the UT-Austin Energy Institute’s Full Cost of Electricity study. We used a simplified straight-line depreciation schedule that ends in a scrap value of 15 percent of the initial cost at the end of its expected lifetime. Joshua Rhodes



What path forward?


If we want to have a cleaner energy future, there are multiple pathways to get there. However, I hypothesize that the cheapest and likeliest pathway will be the one that best leverages, not duplicates, the infrastructure we already have. One of the most “plug and play” pathways (and what we are seeing today) is a conversion from coal to gas-fired generation at power plants that can use existing wires, poles and water infrastructure.



At the other end of the spectrum, a hydrogen economy would require massive new investments in new kinds of technology, so it would leverage less of what we currently have. For instance, we’d need to build places to generate and store hydrogen. On the other hand, it has the potential to be more resilient and sustainable.
Upgrading transmission lines could bring solar and wind-generated power from remote parts of the country to where the people are, which would help make the grid cleaner and potentially lower prices. indigoskies/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND


One area that does look promising for infrastructure investment is upgrading the bulk power transmission network. These upgrades could allow power to flow between regions of the U.S. and would be similar to how the interstate highway system drove down business costs across the country by greatly reducing the time it took to transport goods and services across our vast country.



There are areas of the U.S. where power is produced cheaper and with fewer environmental impacts than in other areas. Expanding transmission lines to areas of the country that have good wind and solar resources can bring very low-cost power to users. The problem is that these areas are not always where the people are, so to bring this power to the people, we need a strong transmission network.



Distribution networks – the part of the grid that delivers power directly to buildings – can also integrate more solar without much added cost to the grid’s operation. But once solar capacity reaches a certain percentage of power demand on the local network, which varies by location, then more costs are incurred.



In the end, consumers, or taxpayers, always end up paying for these upgrade projects, but the benefits can outweigh costs. Texas’ expansion of its electric grid has allowed for much more wind power to reach load centers which, along with a drop in natural gas prices, has driven down the wholesale electricity market costs. Those lower costs are then passed along to ratepayers.



There is no path that does not require investment – even just maintaining what we have will cost hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars over the next decade. The bigger question is: As we continue to replace and rebuild this amazing grid, what technologies should we focus on?

We will segue from last week's women's rights/movement public policy to US labor public policy using just a few more references to ALICE IN WONDERLAND.  The US labor movement of early last century was not only about women in US workforce---it was about our 99% of US men as well.  LABOR public policy throughout last century has been tied to all 99% of WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens.

We discussed two scenes from ALICE tied to labor being brought from AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT MAGNA CARTA back to ancient KINGDOM OF ISRAEL and OLD WORLD ROMAN KINGS CATO/NERO/SENECA.  THE TEA PARTY with the MAD HATTER/MARCH HARE  as we gave one symbol being that of our 5% to the 1% freemason/Greeks sitting at a table waiting for that next job assignment as 5% ROBBER BARON pol or player---5% civil unrest/civil war player----5% overseas empire-building trades person going underground and popping up wherever in the world global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS send them.  This system has been in place for a few centuries and it is the system that needs to GO----in STOPPING MOVING FORWARD.

Throughout ALICE are symbols of falling out of reality then popping up with a totally different reality.  What 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown must consider especially those dastardly 5% freemason/Greek players is WHAT DOES THE 'FINAL SOLUTION'---the CHESHIRE CAT'S SMILE all the way to the EAST  really look like?

The structures here in Baltimore and across the US that spread last century in US undermined all the gains of building a REAL DOMESTIC FREE MARKET ECONOMY thriving and offering any number of career path opportunities.  Our public universities were educating on LOCKEAN CAPITALISM---I AM MAN/WOMEN and our US domestic economy was dominated by regional and small businesses.

FOR WHOM DOES 5% TO THE 1% FREEMASON/GREEKS WORK?   GLOBAL BANKING 1% AND OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS.

When baby boomers were growing up ----and when our grandparents were growing up -----there were not even any mention of these groups designed to target our youth----tying them to all that 3000 BC mythology and LAISSEZ FAIRE GLOBAL MARKETS-----and not tied to being US CITIZENS being leaders in keeping our US domestic and local economies thriving.

Masonry & Youth

Freemasons have long recognized that youth are the future, both of our own organization and that of the world. Accordingly, the Masonic fraternity has created and supports these youth groups:


The Order of the Rainbow for Girls, and the Order of DeMolay for Boys are two international orders that offer Masonic principals as moral guides for youth to learn leadership, self-confidence, and responsibility.



Rainbow operates with six Assemblies across the state of Vermont, each sponsored by a Masonic organization. DeMolay operates several Chapters in Vermont and provides young men with the stepping stones to become Masons if they choose, nce they turn eighteen.


The Freemasons of Vermont are proud to be involved with and support these youth organizations that provide young people with keys to  unlock their potential.



Want to find out more? Just visit their websites:

• The Order of DeMolay is for young men ages 12 to 21. It's goal is to teach leadership and the high morals of Freemasonry to today's youth.
  
  
• The Order of Rainbow is designed for young women age 12 to 20. It too teaches high moral lessons and leadership.

________________________________________________

Instead of having our US youth educate on being US CITIZENS holding power accountable----these global banking 1% NGOs were teaching our US youth to do whatever they are told. We cannot have full employment with equal opportunity and access until we take our US economy back to being DOMESTIC and dominated by US regional and small businesses. This effects both our professional 99% of WE THE PEOPLE and our working class and poor. 


MOVING FORWARD US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES is doing the OPPOSITE.


“My God that Alan Tyers could really sub-edit” to himself but because he is just clicking on the buttons randomly, discombobulated and overwhelmed by the tide of LinkedIn emails, banging on them bongos like a chimpanzee, trapped in his own hideous LinkedIn whack-a-mole hell'.

These few centuries of GLOBAL BANKING 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS using 5% freemason/Greek players to undermine our US national sovereignty and ability of 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE to grow and maintain our rights as CITIZENS----is of course coming to an end in MOVING FORWARD.  That entire system of ALICE and the TEA PARTY MAD HATTER is no longer needed in the CHESHIRE CAT'S SMILE----as it has already advanced our US and European societal structure to before AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT/MAGNA CARTA-------ALMOST!


2003

LaunchIn late 2002, Reid recruits a team of old colleagues from SocialNet and PayPal to work on a new idea. Six months later, LinkedIn launches. Growth is slow at first—as few as 20 signups on some days—but, by the fall, it shows enough promise to attract an investment from Sequoia Capital.

LINKED IN in the early stages was of course created by those same global banking 5% players tied to PAY-PAL and all those industries MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE TECHNOLOGY ENERGY GRID.  What has been an outlet for business creation leading to those 5% players being made the NEW MERELY RICH who will be going under the bus if we continue to MOVE FORWARD is very quickly moving to being a network of GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2% GREEKS promoting one another.  So, here in Baltimore that has been the local economy for decades allowing our local 99% of Baltimore citizens in increasing CRONYISM to climb that economic ladder and to attaining jobs-----that is disappearing and only the global 1% will be LINKED IN.


This was another global banking 1% ploy at keeping that 5% to the 1% player playing while killing their own futures.  Notice LINKED-IN was created BUSH era 2000s---and here is raging global banking 1% Telegraph---as UK Guardian telling us today -----two decades later how all this was bad policy for JOBS AND MOVING UP THE LADDER.

LinkedIn endorsements are the Masonic handshakes of our age

In his latest column on the etiquette of modern life, Alan Tyers is trapped in an endless cycle of pointless LinkedIn back-slapping.


Faint praise: do LinkedIn endorsements actually help further anyone's career? Photo: Alamy

By Alan Tyers
7:00AM BST 19 Sep 2013

Hello. Thanks for clicking on this page. I’m sure you're busy and I appreciate the effort. Perhaps you’re wondering whether it's worth reading on or not. So allow me to tell you something that will reassure you that you’re not wasting your time on any old rubbish.



Now, I don’t like to brag. But ours is a competitive world and we all have to put our best foot forward. So I hope you will forgive me when I say that, although I don’t like to talk about it, and I try not to let it go to my head, I have received rather a significant professional award recently.

Yes, I have been personally – PERSONALLY – endorsed on LinkedIn, for Web Feature Writing, by no less an authority than a guy with whom I briefly worked about 12 years ago.



I don’t mention this to lord it over anyone who hasn’t been lucky enough to be branded with this stamp of quality. To them I say: do not feel bad. You’ll get there one day. And, if you don’t, there’s so much more to life: health, love, being a good person, sunsets.



Anyway, back to my endorsement for Web Feature Writing from that guy with whom I briefly worked about 12 years ago. You might think that this makes me Kind Of A Big Deal. Well, those are your words (dare I say, your endorsement?), not mine. I’m really only mentioning it so that you may relax in the knowledge that you are in safe hands reading this article. I’m not going to screw this up, start using words in the wrong order, lapse into Flemish, inadvertently embed pornographic pictures in the text. I bear the proud certification of that guy and, if you know that guy, and I am sure you do, it is not given out lightly.


Or maybe it is. Maybe that guy is, like everyone else on LinkedIn, trapped in a horrible cycle of endorsing and being endorsed, the Masonic handshake of our age. In the first years of its existence, LinkedIn just bombarded you with emails about dimly remembered acquaintances Adding A New Skill or Changing Their Job Title. It was a bit tedious but essentially harmless, the Mumford And Sons of social media.

A recent study from the Office of Statistics (Invented) shows that 85% of LinkedIn users gain no concrete benefit from using it in terms of job opportunities. But it did serve one important function: it made you feel like you were doing something to further your career, without any of the hard graft of actually doing something to further your career. A few Connections Made here, an Updated Experience here, and a satisfying hour of work displacement activity had fallen to your bow and arrow. You had networked, and without having to wear a name-badge or drink bad Pinot Grigio or fend off the advances of a halitoxic regional sales manager.

Hmmmmm, do we think that a 15% of LINKED IN people were WINNERS?  Better think again.



Then they introduced the whole endorsing thing, turning an innocent time-waster into a source of constant stress and worry. Someone endorses you, you have to click on it. Polite reciprocation means that you have to endorse them back. What choice do you have? Now other buttons pop up, other people you ought to be putting in a good word for. But with whom? To whom? To what end? “Endorse Paul for customer service?” But it seems so patronising. “Does Debbie know about graphic design?” (Always tempting to answer rhetorically: “Does the Pope wear a big hat?”) A very senior person in my industry once endorsed me for ‘Magazines’, presumably due to a mix-up. Who am I to endorse right back-atcha for ‘Editing’? It felt presumptuous. Although if you’re reading, Wintoury: you’re doing a bang-up job, keep at it.



I have one former colleague who endorses me several times a month for the same activity: I can only assume that this is not because he spends his leisure hours saying “My God that Alan Tyers could really sub-edit” to himself but because he is just clicking on the buttons randomly, discombobulated and overwhelmed by the tide of LinkedIn emails, banging on them bongos like a chimpanzee, trapped in his own hideous LinkedIn whack-a-mole hell.



Enough is enough: these are not endorsements. They are annoying little tasks to complete, serving neither the advocate nor the recipient. If you really want to give someone a little shot in the career arm, save them a minute of their working day by not pestering them with this pointless faux praise.
_______________________________________________



Keep in mind LINKED-IN was always and has become no better than handing in a PAPER RESUME for 99% of US WE THE PEOPLE no matter whether you are a 5% freemason/Greek----and especially for our US 99% looking for job opportunity. Global corporations recruit overseas they already know who they are going to hire and bring to US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES whether white collar or global labor pool. There is no longer an INSIDER TRACK for our US 5% freemason/Greeks or our European/UK 5% players. The goal of FINAL SOLUTION is eliminating all population groups having knowledge of or experiencing WESTERN HEMISPHERE several centuries of AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT/MAGNA CARTA and especially our I AM MAN/WOMAN social progressive 300 years in America.



When WACK A MOLE goes global ---global banking 1% and OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS are looking to third world developing nations for those white collar and global labor pool to be those new 5% freemason/Greek players for just these few decades of installing US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES ---SMART CITIES. Then these foreign 5% freemason/Greek players will be thrown under the bus----THE FINAL SOLUTION being ----those global banking 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS will not NEED freemason/Greek players at all ---and especially not need our 99% WE THE WORKERS at all.

As we discussed in detail often------since CLINTON era the economies created by global banking 1% are TEMPORARY designed to exist for only long enough to install the next round of MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE goals of ONE WORLD ONE TECHNOLOGY/ENERGY GRID.  Our US 5% fremason/Greek players as too our foreign workers tied to being the next round of 5% freemason/Greeks are staged to being GREAT BIG LOSERS------but global banking 1% keep selling the idea they will be POPPING UP as a new identity when this is not the FINAL SOLUTION at all.

We encourage our US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE global labor pool 99%--whether white collar professionals or 99% global factory workers once here in US ----to work towards being a REAL US UNITED STATES CITIZEN-----by STOPPING MOVING FORWARD and returning to our REAL US social progressive economy tied to all that freedom, liberty, justice, pursuit of happiness, and all that 99% SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE LABOR RIGHTS.

So, Lynda Weiman is no more a self-starter average JANE then BEZOS, BRANSON, or GATES. When our US WE THE PEOPLE allow CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA make these global corporations the totality of our US economy our 99% US WE THE WORKERS no matter white collar or factory workers great big LOSERS.

Tips From Lynda Weinman On How She Built And Sold Lynda.com To LinkedIn For $1.5 Billion

Kerry A. Dolan , Forbes Staff

Lynda Weinman, an early fan of the personal computer, made a name for herself by teaching web design to non-techies in the mid 1990s. From there she went on to create online education company Lynda.com, which was bought by LinkedIn for $1.5 billion in cash and stock in 2015. “It was a 20 year overnight success,” Weinman joked when I interviewed her on stage at The Montgomery Summit technology conference in Santa Monica, Calif. in March.



Weinman, who doesn’t grant interviews or speak publicly very often, ranks No. 55 on Forbes’ new list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women, with an estimated net worth of $280 million due to the sale of her company. At The Montgomery Summit, Weinman spoke with me about how she went from teaching herself web design and motion graphics, to teaching students at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. those same skills. She also published a textbook on web graphics that became hugely popular.



At the suggestion of her husband, artist Bruce Heavin, the couple rented a high school in Ojai, Calif. (east of Santa Barbara) over spring break one year to teach web design classes. The classes sold out that first year, with one student coming from as far away as Vienna, Austria. From there, Weinman and Heavin went on to build Lynda.com.




Never take ‘no’ for an answer


Weinman credits their success to a number of thoughtful decisions. First, she learned early on how not to take ‘no’ for an answer. When she came up with the idea to publish a web design textbook for non-techies, no one would publish it, she recalled. “I needed the advance to write the book-- I needed to earn money. And so I got a magazine publisher to let me do a monthly series,” she said. She later turned the series into a book, Designing Web Graphics, published in 1996. The success of her textbook became a calling card of sorts – and the reason that a student from Austria found out about her first classes in Ojai.

WEB DESIGN IS A ONE-WAY TICKET TO A DEAD-END CAREER FOR OUR 99% US AND GLOBAL CITIZENS.

Make sure you have market validation



“Another thing that I often say to people: Really make sure you have market validation,” Weinman advised. “I knew that I did, because I was a popular teacher. Then when we started the school, that was successful. There were hard times, like with the dot com crash and the travel restrictions [after 9/11/2001, when Weinman had to lay off all but 9 of Lynda.com’s 35 employees]… but I knew ultimately that people loved the way that we taught and our approach.”



Do things differently for the right reason


“Everybody talks in business about playbooks and how everybody else does everything. We really tried to think about doing things in a different way than our competitors were doing them, not just to be different, but understanding what actually worked and what didn’t work. There’s a saying that my husband picked up: ‘Your marketing spend is the price you have to pay for a bad product.’ [What matters is] being passionate about your product, so that people love it and they want to share it.”


 Focus on the product or service, not the exit


“I see so many young people who want to be entrepreneurs right out of college … They’re looking to the exit. I’m proud of what Lynda.com sold for, but I’m way more proud of how many people we helped and lives we changed, and how our product grew organically, and it grew because it was a great product. People still, when they hear [about the company], say ‘I love Lynda.com.’ They never say ‘I like it’.”



On taking venture capital funding


“We had people ravenous to invest in us the entire time because we were the only people in our space who were making money,” Weinman recalled. Lynda.com was profitable and growing. “Eventually we chose to take the VC money as a desire to have an exit. I decided when I turned 59 [that] by the time I’m 65 I’d like to have another chapter. And also, we were in the very unusual position of our company being more valuable than the revenue it earned. So there was a lot of value that was in the company that was never going to be realized unless we went public or were sold.”



In January 2013 Lynda.com raised $103 million in funding from Accel Partners and Spectrum Equity. In January 2015 it raised $186 million in a round led by TPG Capital. “Everybody wanted to invest in us because we were a sure fire thing; we were profitable. We were a very well run organization,” Weinman said, partly because she and her husband had hired a CEO to run the business when it got big enough.

Lynda Weinman's tips for success include 'Never take no for an answer.'



On selling to LinkedIn


When Lynda.com raised venture capital money, it was with the intent to eventually go public. Then in the spring of 2015, LinkedIn came knocking. The sale “was probably a little too soon, but it felt like a perfect fit and I’m very glad that we did it the way that we did it. I think going public would have even been harder,” Weinman said. It took three months from the time LinkedIn first made the acquisition offer until the two companies announced the sale in June 2015. “Having such a quick offer, which came totally out of the blue, was actually something that I was grateful for.” Weinman said LinkedIn kept her on retainer for a while but she didn’t meet with anyone at the company. (In December 2016, Microsoft completed its $26.2 billion acquisition of LinkedIn, so Lynda.com is currently owned by Microsoft.)


Weinman is now focused on harnessing the power of film and video. She chairs the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and backs independent filmmakers and documentary filmmakers.

11 beautiful pop-up books to bring reading to life in 3D, no technology required


by Kate Etue | Jun 14, 2015

Now that my kids are finally all old enough to know better than to rip out the cut-art from a pop-up book as I flip the pages for them, I’ve been looking around to find some new pop-up books to read to them. And wow, there are some really, really beautiful pop-up books for kids that have been published in the last year, along with some classics I still adore.




These are books that I’m enjoying as much as the kids are, even as they give my children a glimpse into another world, teach them a wider appreciation for art, or are just super fun. One will even teach your kids how to make their own pop-up books, which is so cool.



Hope these help bring reading to life in your home, just in time for summer reading season.

How Tomorrow's Battles Will Be Fought in Augmented Reality


Sophisticated technologies may optimise a soldier’s situational awareness, and ply him or her with information.

Imagine a battleship's command room—but instead of a physical display screen, there's a levitating 3D dome. It displays everything that's going on underwater and in the air, providing military commanders with an unparalleled view of the battlefield. Everything in this microcosm is actually happening in real-time, and it's how Bob Stone thinks the future of war might be fought.


Stone's musings on the future of how we monitor and conduct warfare almost sounds like an infinitely upgraded and sleeker version of Warhammer, an old-school tabletop wargame featuring miniature fantasy regiments. And though what he imagines might not be reality just yet, since 2013, he's been collaborating with engineers at BAE Systems—a British multinational defence, security, and aerospace company—on mixed reality systems that meld the real and virtual worlds.

The project's aim is to create augmented reality systems that optimise the situational awareness and decision-making processes of military personnel of the future. But questions of how to do so safely, effectively and accurately remain to be answered.


"Does it need to be visual? Does it need to look like the real world? What happens if we introduce video, and live feeds from news channels and social networking sites?" asked Stone. "Nobody knows how much information is too much just yet."


Just a mirage? An avatar stands in front of a virtual display. Image: University of Birmingham/BAE Systems
Stone has been working on virtual reality systems for over two decades. As an applied psychologist by qualification, he is interested in evaluating what kind of information military personnel need to make sharper decisions that would lead to less casualties in the future.


"I'm waiting for the day when someone produces a very large volumetric display—there's nothing like that yet," he said.


One current idea that would allow soldiers to adapt more quickly to their environment is a "Wearable Cockpit." Headset clad pilots could customise their aircraft's interface through reconfigurable virtual displays and controls based on personal preference and mission objectives.



Another idea is a "Portable Command Centre." According to Stone, a user wearing a virtual reality headset and interactive gloves might control a mixed reality environment—with virtual displays for landscape, newsfeeds, data from remote UAVs and command centres—that seems to appear in front of them.


While some of these ideas are already being explored as virtual reality headsets become cheaper and less expensive to produce, what remains largely unexplored is the long-term effects such experiences might have on the human body and the mind.


Stone, for example, gives questionnaires to armed forces personnel who trial his tech in order to gauge their feelings and observations on how the tech could be improved and adapted to suit their needs. He measures galvanic skin responses (the same kind of tech used in lie detectors), which he said "detects how stressed someone can be," and also intends to measure brain function by using low-cost brain wave sensors.



As battlefields of the future become populated with autonomous vehicles and robots, as well as headset-clad soldiers with the ability to see through buildings, draw up virtual display screens, monitor news and social media feeds in real time, and fight battles remotely, having access to accurate information will also be crucial in making the correct decisions.


Sophisticated mixed reality technologies may optimise a soldier's situational awareness, and ply him or her with more information. Yet, conversely, Stone acknowledged that the representation of uncertainty was still a "thorny question" that might inhibit a soldier from making a balanced decision.

"Imagine there's an unmanned vehicle, and it's flying around an area and we lose transmission for half an hour, but some transmissions are still coming back," explained Stone. "How can we represent how the probability of that information is accurate?" The possibility of information degradation would definitely have to be taken into account.


In the meantime, Stone told me that his augmented reality systems were not merely limited to the military sphere. He is currently in discussions with forensics specialists and surgeons too. And while the prospect of a 3D bubble containing a microcosm of the battlefield of the future doesn't exist yet, Stone remains excited by the prospect of what current and upcoming virtual reality technology can do.

"After being involved in VR for 28 years, it seems like the applications are finally coming to the technology, and that's good news," said Stone.

   August 27, 2017 at 10:19 am Dear Gary,
   Analyze and understand so many colors and hues might be an exercise in
   futility for many unsophisticated people including myself.
   Instead of naming the colors by various names, let’s give them just one name -PC.
   Please, allow me to offer a third-grade version of
   the PC(political correctness) and it’s offshoot, “multiculturalism”.
   PC is a soft, Euro-American form of socialism that failed
   everywhere. But between them is essential difference.
   Socialism is a “top-down” religion/ideology, as well as
   fascism. You take away the Central Committee and the
   religion goes “puff”.
   Christianity, Judaism, Islam are “bottom-up” religions.
   They cease to exist when people cease to go to church,
   shul or mosque.
   Political correctness is simultaneously a “bottom-up”
   and “top-down” religion. Political elite, media,
   academia need it to exert control and power from above. The “down”
   supporters of all colors – blacks, Muslims, LGBT – support
   it because it helps them to carve more “territory” and
   get more benefits, often unearned.
   Such superposition of “top-down” and “bottom-up”
   interests makes PC very dangerous, cruel and
   thriving ideology/religion. It is capable evolutionary
   ruin the roots of the existing system of values and
   rules. Certainly “the melting pot” is target#1.
   But destruction is a final goal of every new
   or un-reformed religion.

So, why in Western Europe, US, Canada has THE FINAL SOLUTION always been tied to our 99% of black citizens----our 99% of Jewish citizens----when the REAL FINAL SOLUTION is to kill 99% of WE THE WHITE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE?


That answer is obvious-----our 99% of white Europeans are the dominate population group and global banking 1% are simply keeping our dominate 99% of white citizens thinking the FINAL SOLUTION is about all those other population groups.

We don't want to lessen the seriousness for both our 99% REAL Jewish and REAL US BLACK and AFRICAN citizens in this CHESHIRE CAT SMILE march to ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE for only the global 1%.  What we are saying to our 99% of white citizens is WAKE UP------THE FINAL SOLUTION has no 99% WE THE WHITE PEOPLE----it has no 99% WE THE CHRISTIAN people----it has no 99% WE THE WORKERS WITH FAMILIES.

CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA HAVING MOVED FORWARD THESE GOALS---TRUMP SIMPLY DOING THE SAME---NEITHER BEING RIGHT WING US REPUBLICAN NOR LEFT WING US DEMOCRAT.


We of course KNOW TRUMP is not MOVING FORWARD to being the next MUSSOLINI.

Trump is a fascist



William Smith, Baltimore  BALTIMORE SUN

Is The Donald the 21{+s}{+t} century's Mussolini?


I had to laugh when I read the angry letter claiming that Donald Trump is more like Ronald Reagan than Adolf Hitler ("Trump is Reagan, not Hitler," Aug. 28). That's like saying the police don't discriminate against black people, just African Americans. After all, aside from the extermination camps, there really wasn't much difference between Ronald Reagan and Adolf Hitler in the first place. They were both playing from the same playbook — the one written by Benito Mussolini.


Mussolini defined fascism as the merger of the interests of the government and big business. In fact, he considered calling fascism "corporatism" but felt that wasn't patriotic sounding enough to fool the general public. And you couldn't come up with a better description of the policies of Ronald Reagan if you tried.



By the way, let's not forget that Hitler's original plan for the Jews was not extermination, but deportation. It was only after he overran Eastern Europe and was confronted with the world's largest concentration of Jews — and nowhere to deport them -- that he came up with his "final solution" of mass murder. The citizens of Mexico had better pray that "The Donald," should he ever become president, doesn't set his sights on Mexico for America's "lebensraum."

We will discuss next week the public policy of US economic crash/economic collapse----GREAT DEPRESSION ------but let's just say this tied to US employment and jobs for our 99% US WE THE PEOPLE black, white, and brown citizens----

When we shouted after 2008 economic crash that US never exited a recession---OBAMA policy kept moving forward what was already a GREAT DEPRESSION for our US 99% of citizens. We have shouted that the US FED after these several years of OBAMA era US Treasury and state municipal bond frauds was staging that US economic collapse leading to GREAT DEPRESSION. What we saw during OBAMA and now TRUMP is an economy where only global corporations and global banking are operating-----the only thing keeping our US economy tied to anything AMERICAN are the few US corporations still being domestic all of which have tied themselves to massive corporate and US Treasury bond debt just to implode them into bankruptcy so they too will be enfolded into the hands of a global corporation NOT AMERICAN.


Each time a global banking 1% media outlet pretends all this is simply BOOM AND BUST with our US economy making a RECOVERY------THEY ARE LYING.

This article was first published by State of Nature, as part of the monthly "One Question" series, which solicits responses to a single query from a variety of thinkers. This month's question — "Are we heading for another economic crash?" — received responses from Wolfgang Streeck, Cédric Durand, Susan Newman, David M. Kotz, Mingqi Li, Mary Mellor, Andrew Ross, Tim Di Muzio, Dario Azzellini, Ying Chen, Richard Murphy, Michael Roberts, Lena Rethel, and Heikki Patomäki. 



Wolfgang Streeck



Professor emeritus of sociology. From 1995 to 2014 he was Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, Germany. His latest book is How Will Capitalism End? Essays on a Failing System (Verso, 2016).



I’m not a prophet. But there is no capitalism without the occasional crash, so if you will we are always heading for one. Inflation in the 1970s was ended by a return to "sound money" in 1980, which begot deindustrialization and high unemployment, which together with tax cuts for the rich begot high public debt. When public debt became too high, fiscal consolidation in the 1990s had to be compensated, for macro-economic as well as political reasons, by capital market deregulation and private household debt, which begot the crash of 2008.



Now, almost a decade later, public debt is higher than ever, so is private debt; the global money volume has been steadily increasing for decades now; and the central banks are producing money as though there was no tomorrow, by buying up all sorts of debt with cash made ‘out of thin air’, which is called Quantitative Easing. While everybody knows that this cannot go on forever, nobody knows how to end it — same with public and private debt, same with the money supply. Something is going to happen, presumably soon, and it is not going to be pleasant.

WE ARE PRETTY SURE MOST REAL ECONOMISTS CALL NAKED GLOBAL BANKING NEO-LIBERALISM ANYTHING BUT CAPITALISM.



Cédric Durand
Associate professor in Economics the University of Paris Cite and the author of Fictitious Capital: How Finance Is Appropriating Our Future (Verso, 2017).



The illusion that financial assets can create value "as it is the property of pear-trees to bear pears" is nowadays much more vivid than in Marx’s times. This fetishisation of finance and its empowerment are the reasons why, after 2008, the main avenue to roll back the danger of a debt-deflation spiral was a huge monetary stimulus. As acknowledged by Claudio Borio, a prominent figure at the Bank of International Settlement, rich economies became addicted to low interest rates and central bankers have dramatically increased the dose in the past few years with near zero or even below zero key interest rates and assets purchase programs.



The outcome of this sequence is an outrageously unsustainable dynamic: on the one hand, financial fragility is on the rise again, in particular with excessive corporate debt in the US, persistent bank fragility in Europe, and overvalued stock markets. In the real economy, this monetary stimulus has not delivered much: growth rates are anaemic, underemployment endemic, productivity sluggish and investment hardly sufficient to prevent a productive involution throughout the developed world.

NAKED LAISSEZ FAIRE NEO-LIBERALISM DOES INDEED KILL SOVEREIGN DOMESTIC ECONOMIES---THAT IS WHY IT IS NOT CAPITALISM




It seems, then, that there is no recovery but only a renewed financial assertiveness backed by highly biased policies. The elementary forms of finance capital — stock-market capitalization, credit to the private non-financial sector, and public debt — now represent more than 350% of GDP on average in the major high-income countries compared to 150% in the early eighties, and 330% before the crisis. In order to be sustained, the value of these financial claims require that the expected financial incomes fall in due time: debt must be honoured, interests paid, dividends disbursed.



But how can that be in stagnating economies?

The first possibility is just ponziying further: as more debt floods in, everything moves smoothly. But this puts central banks in a deadlock. If they move back to more usual monetary policies, they will trigger a recession and increasing financial distress. The fact that long-term interest rates in the US are still trending downward in spite of recent Federal Reserve rises indicate that markets do not believe in a normalisation of monetary policy. However, if central bankers do not move forward, financial imbalances will continue to build up, favouring misallocation of resources and increasing the amplitude of the next crash. Financial hegemony was able to survive a few additional years in intensive care — but now is the time to say farewell.



The next crash won’t be a repetition of 2008: this time the credibility of central banks will be at stake, with the risk of a full blown monetary crisis. In preparation of this predictable unfolding of events, it should already be clear that private finance ought not be saved again, that delirious financial claims of the wealthiest over the work of the rest of us won’t be validated anymore by government intervention. Instead, it’s time to bring to the front of the agenda the socialization of the banks, debt jubilee, universal pension, education and healthcare systems, ecological investment planning and open data. Freeing our societies from the financial time-bond will require a new ability to engineer the future.



Susan Newman
Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University of the West of England where she leads the MSc program in Global Political Economy.



We are heading for another economic crash because the underlying conditions that brought about the financial crisis of 2007-8 remain. The post-crisis slump saw the restructuring of capital, aided by government and central bank policies, in order to restore profitability and the incomes and wealth of the 1% premised upon fictitious accumulation.



Speculative finance continues to dominate economic activities in the advanced capitalist economies. Corporate profits, personal wealth, pension provision and food prices, continue to be tied to the vagaries of finance. The IMF’s growth projections for 2018 recognise that modest growth will be driven by financial markets with little impact on real investment, job creation, productivity or wages. Stock market capitalisation to GDP ratio is higher than at any time except for the eve of the dot.com bust in 2000 indicating the disconnection between financial investment and productive activities. In spite of Basel III, the financial system continues to be characterised by high leveraging and global interconnectedness owing to the rise of the shadow banking system.



Austerity in the UK since 2010 has created new trigger points for crises. Personal debt in the UK has reached alarming and unsustainable levels in excess of £200bn. Welfare cuts, stagnant wages, and the deterioration of employment contracts has meant that low income families in the UK have had to borrow for basic day to day expenditures. One can expect many more cracks in the system in which the next crisis will emerge. However, rather than trying to predict the timing or origins of impending crises, efforts would be more productively oriented towards radical change of the economic system. Reforms such as those that supported the Golden Age could help temper some of the deadliest side effects of capitalist growth. But in the long run we need to treat those side effects as the main goals for society: for each of us to reach our full potential and live in material comfort free from alienation from each other and our environment.



David M. Kotz
Economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the author of The Rise and Fall of Neoliberal Capitalism (Harvard University Press, 2015).


Yes and no. That is, a recession is likely to begin in the US in the not too distant future. However, the preconditions for the kind of severe crash we saw unfold in 2008-09 are not present today.



Economic conditions in the US today bear some similarities to the mid-2000s. Income and wealth inequality are still in the stratosphere. The Trump Administration has initiated another round of bank deregulation. However, these similarities are not enough to bring another major crash.



The financial crisis and Great Recession of 2008-09 were caused by three unsustainable trends set off by the neoliberal form of capitalism: a giant asset price bubble (in real estate) that had to collapse, the spread of bound-to-fail derivative securities throughout the US financial system and much of the global financial system, and an unsustainable build-up in household debt that had underpinned growth in consumer spending.
Why Laissez-Faire Lovers Are the Real Anti-CapitalistsTime to resurrect an old idea: economic rent
LAISSEZ FAIRE AKA NEO-LIBERALISM IS ALWAYS SOLD AS FREE MARKET WHEN IT IS ALWAYS THE MOST ANTI-FREE MARKET ECONOMIC STRUCTURE EVER.  IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SIMPLY A TOOL BY GLOBAL RICH TO RUN OVER REAL SOVEREIGN DOMESTIC CAPITALIST ECONOMIES.





After the crash, the Federal Reserve unburdened the banks of their failed derivative securities. Household debt declined relative to household income after 2009 and has stabilized at a safe level since 2015. And while US stock prices have been rising, this does not have the hallmarks of a self-perpetuating, about-to-collapse bubble — the S&P 500 price-earnings ratio, which rose steadily for four years after 2011, has since stabilized at a level far below that of the stock bubble of the late 1990s.



However, a more typical recession is likely to begin in the near future, with its costs in rising unemployment, small business failures, and a squeeze on state and local revenues and services. The current US economic expansion is now 10 years old, and every expansion in capitalism eventually ends in recession. The rate of profit on invested capital of the nonfinancial corporate business sector, while high, has been falling since 2014, which usually indicates a coming recession. However, the big economic problem today is the long-term stagnation that has afflicted the US economy and much of the global capitalist system since the Great Recession ended in 2009, causing much economic suffering and destabilizing political systems around the world.



Minqi Li
Professor of economics at the University of Utah. His recent books include The Rise of China and the Demise of the Capitalist World Economy (Monthly Review, 2009), Peak Oil, Climate Change, and the Limits to China’s Economic Growth (Routledge, 2014), and China and the Twenty-first Century Crisis (Pluto, 2015).



The answer to this question partly depends on what one means by "economic crash." If one means one of those "normal" recessions that happen to the global capitalist economy once in every several years, then almost certainly we will see such a recession in the next two or three years.



The more interesting question is how severe the next recession will be. Since the "Great Recession" of 2008-2009, the core countries of the capitalist world system have struggled with persistent stagnation. On the other hand, household debt in the US has fallen to relatively normal levels and currently there is not an obviously large financial imbalance between the US and the rest of the world. From a purely technical point of view, the next global recession around 2020 may not be as severe as the last one.



Far more important is what has happened in China. China’s industrialization has transformed its social structure and produced a large, 19th-century-style industrial working class. As this working class begins to organize and demand economic and social rights, its growing power has contributed to a falling profit rate in the Chinese economy. This is similar to what happened to the western capitalist economies in the 1970s and is something that no major economy has seen since then. It will be interesting to see whether this development will lead to a fundamental transformation of labor-capital relations of forces not only in China but also in the entire world system by the 2020s.



Whatever will happen in terms of an "economic crash," the capitalist world continues to head relentlessly towards the climate crash threatening to end civilization, as we know it. It is up to the global class struggle in the coming decades to determine whether the capitalist juggernaut can be stopped before it is too late.


Mary Mellor
Emeritus Professor in the Department of Social Science, Northumbria University, UK. Her recent books include The Future of Money: From Financial Crisis to Public Resource (Pluto, 2010) and Debt or Democracy: Public Money for Sustainability and Social Justice (Pluto, 2015).



If this refers to the financial sector, another crash will occur because nothing has been done to deal with the underlying contradictions of a debt-fuelled main street and a hot money financial casino. Signs of instability and "irrational exuberance" are driving unsustainable speculation, such as in Bitcoin. Household and personal debt is rising. It was speculation in household debt that triggered the 2008 crisis and the position is equally bad now, if not worse, as people have even less financial resilience.



However, my concern is the crisis of social justice and ecological sustainability in the economy of provisioning: providing the essential goods and services that create wellth, the well-being of people and the planet. Ecologically, we may be past the point of no return: global warming; plastic contaminants; drastic decline in insect numbers.




The crisis in social justice is tearing our societies apart. Far from bringing universal wealth or wellth, globalised capitalism has hollowed out communities in the older economies, while exploiting cheap labour in the newer ones. The cries of pain from those in "left behind" communities in both the old and new economies are producing populist and authoritarian leaders.



Market fundamentalism is also destroying the wealth of the public economy. Welfare states can no longer achieve their aim of caring for people from cradle to grave. Neoliberal "handbag economics" is ideologically opposed to publicly funded infrastructure and services. The state is seen as equivalent to a household, dependent on private sector funding. Austerity programmes aim to shrink the public sector to the level that the private sector is willing to sustain. This is compounded by tax avoidance and evasion and militant offshoring.



This ignores the role of state created "sovereign" money. The public rescue of private finance through quantitative easing reveals that new public money can be created at will. If public money can be created to fund the financial sector it can be used to fund the people, so that wellth, social justice and ecological sustainability becomes the priority of both public and private economies



Andrew Ross
Social activist and Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU. He is the author of many books, including Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal, Bird On Fire: Lessons from the World’s Least Sustainable City (OR Books, 2014), and Nice Work if You Can Get It: Life and Labor in Precarious Times (NYU, 2010).



In 2007, the landmark Stern Report described "climate change" as "the greatest market failure that the world has seen." In some quarters, this observation was taken as a challenge for capitalists to do better, rather than as an indictment of a price system whose dependence on growth had produced its inevitable outcome in planetary environmental collapse. The steady deterioration of biospheric life is now so normalized that many battle-hardened activists pray for the next climate-driven catastrophe simply to call attention to their zero-carbon cause.




The widespread distress that follows a periodic economic crash can feel as if it occurs in a parallel universe, disconnected from melting polar caps and species die-offs, but these respective disaster zones have the same root causes in a crisis-prone economic system. The recent rise in high-risk financial speculation has only sharpened the tendency, as garden-variety Marxists would say, to resolve capitalism’s internal contradictions through episodic wipe-outs. The standard euphemism for this boom-and-bust is "the business cycle," as if to suggest there is some rational conduct driving the "animal spirits" of investors.




As ever, fortunes can be conjured out of estimating when and where the next crash will occur. Which bubble will burst first, triggering the collapse? Bitcoin? China’s property market? U.S. Treasuries? High-Yield Euro Bonds? Student loans? Take your pick. The only silver lining is that the ruinous aftermath offers a chance, as it did after 2008, to build that zero-carbon economy, along with plenty of sustainable green-collar jobs. If you really need to pray for something, that would fit the bill.



Tim Di Muzio
Associate Professor in International Relations and Political Economy at the University of Wollongong, Australia.  He is most recently the author of The Tragedy of Human Development (Rowman & Littlefield, 2017).




The short answer is yes. However, the big question has to do with timing and how the crash will be experienced and by whom. Typically, an economic crash means that the value of owned income-generating assets like stocks (shares in companies) are radically devalued. For instance, at the height of the Global Financial Crisis, the market capitalization of all listed firms stood just above US$60 trillion and within a few months that was cut roughly in half.  The crisis was of course related to the housing market in the United States as everyone knows, but it was far broader in its reach since it led investors to suspect that the banks would freeze credit in a time of record high oil prices. And in a capitalist economy, where the money supply increases by the extension of credit/debt to businesses and individuals, lack of faith in the expansion of credit is a real killer of expected future earnings.



There will likely be another stock market devaluation in the future caused by a fear of lesser future expected earnings, but the upcoming crisis that will shake capitalism to its core relates to three factors. First, we have about 50 years of oil left at current production rates according to BP. So we can expect oil prices to eventually go through the roof, and since oil goes into everything from computers to gasoline, we can expect an unprecedented inflation.  Second, capitalism is a cost-plus accounting system (as long noticed by C.H. Douglas) which means there is never enough purchasing power in the economy for the outstanding prices of goods and services — hence the need for credit. This gap is structural and mathematical and cannot be overcome internally. Third, in an uncertain inflationary environment, the extension of credit (new money) will be frozen or come at ever increasing interest rates, only serving to exacerbate inflation.



Predictions are notoriously wrong but I care less about the exact timing of the next crisis and choose to focus on the three factors that will lead to the clusterfuck ahead: the price of oil, the nature of capitalist accounting, and the way in which new money is produced.

No doubt we are heading for another economic crash because capitalism is always heading for another economic crash. It is the nature of capitalism to increase surplus capital and then destroy it again through a crash or war, in order to restart the accumulation process once again. After every crisis, as historical data shows, the rich get richer and capital concentration grows. The cycles from crash to crash are becoming shorter as the accumulation of surplus capital becomes faster.



There are two developments making an economic crash in the near future very likely. Similar to the time leading up to the 2008 crisis, there is again a looming private loan subprime crisis. Since the last crisis, banks (especially in the US and UK) have not changed their behavior. In the US alone  subprime private auto loans in the order of US$26 billion exist. This is happening in the light of the longer lasting structural problem that capital cannot be reinvested in a materially productive way. That is why e.g. Uber, which is only producing financial loss, was worth an estimate US$ 48billion in December 2017 (down from US$68 billion a couple of weeks earlier!) or bitcoin had a vertiginous growth in value.



How disastrous the crash will be, will depend on the extent to which a subprime loan crisis will also trigger the burst of the bubble created by casino capitalist adventures. The destruction not only of the middle class, but also more generally most people’s ability to satisfy their basic needs, is a worldwide reality. Nevertheless, the US has abolished most social anchors and has fewer financial control mechanisms than other countries. It is therefore very likely that the next crash will emanate from the US, and/or the UK (especially considering Brexit).

Actually, we have hardly walked out of the last recession completely yet. In Europe, growth since last year was only experienced by the strongest economies such as Germany and the Netherlands. People in hard-hit countries such as Greece and Italy are still suffering from unemployment and austerity measures in the aftermath of the last crisis. In the USA, where the financial crisis started, the labour force participation rate remains 4 percentage points below the pre-crisis level. This suggests a dismal picture of more working-age people who either cannot find jobs or are discouraged from looking for jobs.



On the other hand, China, the country whose growth accounts for more than 30% of global economic growth, is now experiencing a declining profit rate and soaring debt-GDP ratio. The former could lead to slow investment and economic crisis while the latter could lead to a financial crisis. Either way, China’s crisis will have tremendous world economy implications given its almost 20% share of world GDP.



The recovery has not only been uneven but is also hardly sustainable if private investment remains so sluggish. This is what economists have been worried about: that despite some temporary stimulus-driven recovery, the advanced capitalist countries are indeed entering secular stagnation. When growth stagnates, the growing population and productivity, if any, will not be absorbed into the economy, resulting in unemployment and aggravating inequality. Capitalism was more progressive than feudalism because capitalists invest out of capital which leads to economic growth. It will lose its legitimacy as a system if investment stops. And to make it worse, central bankers are expressing concerns that monetary policy would be of very limited effectiveness and fiscal policy of little political feasibility for the next economic downturn. The next round of economic crisis in capitalist countries will breed a much more severe political crisis.

The answer to this question has to be yes: capitalism is built on the concept of failure and so crashes are inevitable. The real question is how soon before the next crash?



My answer is soon. The reasons are multifold. It could be a hard Brexit creating a liquidity crisis for companies as lorries queue at ports meaning that businesses will fail as they run out of stock, orders and cash. Or it could be over-valued stock markets crashing, especially if central banks try (foolishly) to increase interest rates and trigger a household debt crisis at the same time. Alternatively it could be Chinese debt collapsing. Or (heaven forbid) Trump pushing his "big button." And it might be something else entirely.


The fact is economies historically do downturns. We are overdue for one. That would not be too worrying except that austerity and a failure to address most of the failings in financial capitalism that led to 2008 have left us hopelessly ill-prepared for the next crunch. And that’s why it will be a crisis and not a manageable bump.

Yes, we are. There has been a slump in production and investment of varying degrees every 8 to 10 years since 1945. Such a regular and recurrent cycle is endemic to a capitalist economy (production and investment for profit) and the current cycle since the end of the Great Recession in 2009 is now over eight years long, the third longest in the last 70 years.




The economic crash may not happen in 2018 because corporate profits are still rising in most major economies and growth has picked up in Europe and Japan — but it will happen before the end of the decade at the latest.



What could happen in 2018 is a stock market crash as stock prices are very high compared to the earnings that companies in the US, Europe and Japan are generating to justify them.  Cheap borrowing costs (low interest rates) are coming to an end as central banks globally start to reverse their easy credit schemes and raise interest rates.



The form of an economic crisis is always financial but the underlying cause is not.  Profitability and profits in the productive sectors of the economy are the key drivers.  The crisis is likely to start in the US, as this economy remains the largest and most financial. And this time the economic downturn will start in the corporate sector where debt continues to rise. Corporate profits may be rising but the profitability of each unit of investment is falling. And debt servicing costs will rise as central banks hike interest rates.

The short answer to this question is: Yes. From a UK perspective, it seems as if little has substantively changed in the decade since the last crisis. Current household debt is once more approaching levels last seen at the onset of the crisis of 2007-2009. Levels of personal loans and student debt — important markers of indebtedness as, unlike mortgages, they are not directly matched by ownership of an asset — have seen a steep rise in recent years. Without trying to be overly gloomy, it is fair to say that the question is not if another crisis will happen, but when it will happen and who will suffer most from the fallout.



Indeed, it is important to recognise that the economy has been crashing for many for quite some time now. Over the last decade, income inequality has changed little and wealth inequality has effectively increased in the UK. So has the number of homeless people and of those dependent on food banks for making ends meet. The growth of work income has been stagnating and child poverty is on the rise again. Since the crisis of 2007-2009, there has been recovery for some, but not everyone. This is different from previous crises which — despite the hardship they caused — often also brought about a certain reduction in inequality, if not greater efforts at progressive distributive policymaking. Instead, what we see now is greater social stratification, exacerbated by post-crisis policies such as the tripling of student fees that negatively impact social mobility.



It is time to rethink the role of debt in our everyday lives and as a stopgap measure of economic policymaking. It is hard to see how anyone could ever consider that personal debt could or even should replace social safety nets. This requires some rethinking but is far from undoable. It means grants instead of loans, equity-based financial products instead of debt-based products and a culture of risk-sharing rather than risk transfer where the brunt too often is borne by those least able to bear risks. Until this has changed, the chances of avoiding another crisis from happening soon are increasingly slim — let alone overcoming the current one.

Interest rates are close to zero. It is excessively easy to get credit for consumption or speculation. Corporations are using their profits to buy their own shares rather than to invest. Stock markets are soaring and asset prices are at an all-time high.



While the world economy is growing and there is widespread talk about recovery, especially in Europe, the rates of per capita growth remain below the standards that prevailed before the 2008-9 global financial crisis — not to speak of earlier decades. Productivity is growing slowly and real investments are lagging behind expectations.



This kind of divergence is not unusual for a capitalist market economy. It resonates with tendencies toward financialization and growing inequalities, closely related to contradictory responses by states in the world economy. The basis of genuine economic growth erodes, while the underlying super-bubble grows.



The Minskyan boom-and-bust scheme is simple. Debt leveraging tends to affect the underlying financial valuations and thus enable further leveraging through the wealth-effect, increasing the value of collateral and sustained optimism. Over time the increasing involvement in debt makes the financial system more chaotic, i.e. sensitive to small disturbances. As the quality of debt gradually deteriorates and risks get bigger (however well-hidden they may be), the system becomes more vulnerable. Finally, something happens: a trigger of downward developments emerges, generating rounds of panic, resulting in collapse.



In contrast to 2006-7, many well-known analysts and international organizations from Deutsche Bank to the IMF have been warning about a future crisis that might occur in 2018, but is likely to come about by 2020. Anticipations are reflexive and can have effects on the future. Moreover, some economists believe that central banks have learnt new lessons from their unconventional policies and are now ready and willing to use their — in principle unlimited — resources to prevent a financial collapse from happening. Are we thus safer in the late 2010s than before?



Past lessons and reflexivity have effects through transforming actions and institutions. We are not, however, seeing attempts at re-regulating or taxing global finance, countering rising inequalities, or new programmes of stimulating private and public investments. The Trump administration is giving huge tax benefits to the super-rich and aiming at deregulating finance. Even in the cautious EU, the project of establishing a financial transaction tax seems to have come to an end, and the European financial union is lacking sufficient resources. The rising debt levels in China are an increasing global concern. Meanwhile, the global bubble is growing.

A lot hinges upon central banks, but they are in a contradictory position. The very attempt to tighten policy in order to slow down the growth of the bubble may also set in motion a downward spiral. In the absence of better common policies, regulations and institutions, central banks may actually be less powerful than often thought. Hence Minsky’s "it" (the collapse of the financial and economic system) seems rather likely. If I am right, we are likely to see the biggest crash ever, accompanied by a deep global depression, by 2020 or so.
