PART OF ITS NORMAL FUNCTION
THE present crisis of confidence in the global economic model, has resulted from the lack of understanding of the inter-related nature of "the beast" and the lack of computer modelling to reflect this fact. In all the heart-searching and finger-pointing that is presently being manifested, throughout the world's media, little has been spoken abouts the "quants".
These are the highly paid back-room boys of the investment banking industry who have created what I would call a collection of 2D models of the individual component parts of the risk management process, rather than a fully integrated 3D loopback-model of the potential consequences of the risk management process; let alone a 4D higher conscious perspective, of what homo sapiens has TO DO, to ensure the multi-dimensional sustainability of SPACESHIP EARTH, as Buckminster Fuller so succinctly described our planet.
Historians have often referred to the 19th Century as that which was dominated by British Imperialism and the 20th Century having being controlled by the economic might of the USA. Only time will tell what banner will be affixed to the 21st.
In the meantime, despite the warnings of Dwight D. Eisenhower about the military industrial complex and Jimmy Carter's so-called Malaise Speech , in the context of the Masters of the Universe at Goldmann Sachs, Americans are no longer masters of their own fate.
Sometime around the 1960's there was a tipping point, when the "empire of
production" began to become the "empire of consumption". When the cars
started to be produced elsewhere, and the television sets, and the
socks, and everything else. And what we ended up with was the American
people becoming consumers rather than producers.

Without the "Wisdom of Knowledge" of this particular facet of understanding, is their any wonder that, those whom the people assumed to know otherwise, have NO KNOWLEDGE of what to do in the ever changing circumstances of our lives on this planet or, consequently the WISDOM to have planned to implement the only solution to the problem ... TEAR-UP the existing blueprint and START all OVER.
In the event of such lack of foresight, oversight, commitment and leadership, paying for an analysis of "what went wrong" from those responsible for "what went wrong" IS ALL that the people are being offered.

"Evolutionary Enlightenment, and the new culture it promises, is something we can deliberately and consciously bring into being together, if we care deeply enough about the potential it is pointing to. But it is not something that can be simply manufactured through sitting in a circle and practicing a certain technique or generating a particular emotional state. It is an emergent perspective, or state of consciousness, that bursts forth spontaneously and miraculously only when the conditions are right. "Emergent" means that it is something greater than the sum of its parts-a new order of relatedness, a new level of consciousness, a deeper and higher perspective that is always unimaginable until the moment it explodes into existence." - Andrew Cohen

"EVOLUTIONARY is a play on the word "REVOLUTIONARY", and I mean it to convey something of the revolutionary nature of evolution as an idea. Evolutionaries are revolutionaries, with all the personal and philosophical commitment that word implies. They are not merely curious bystanders to the evolutionary process, passive believers in the established sciences of evolution, though all certainly value those insights. They are committed activists and advocates - often passionate ones - for the importance of evolution at a cultural level."

As Arianna Huffington has so eloquently and recently stated -“If you didn’t care at all about people and you just cared about the deficit, this is just a stupid way to go about it. It doesn’t work. Austerity does not lead to deficit reduction. That we are continuing not to look at the facts, to me is stunning. It is the definition of insanity.”

IT is a lonely task sticking up for the Greeks – given the sins of their elites over the last decade – but do we really have to put up with the false narrative coming from the EU's creditor core, and the self-serving eyewash by the policy architects of this disaster in Brussels, Frankfurt, and indeed Washington?

You can view it as a technology race or a joint venture in the common interest. It hardly matters which. If the Chinese can crack thorium, the world will need less oil, coal, and gas than feared. Wind turbines will vanish from our landscape. There will less risk of a global energy crunch, less risk of resource wars, and less risk of a climate tipping point.

Prepare for rapid changes to take place in the lifestyle of all
human beings. As we see the entire leadership structure of nations
begin to crumble under the collective desire for freedom from tyranny,
many changes are in store. Although there will be challenges, it is a
wonderful time for humanity. Instead of being led like sheep in a
drug-induced stupor, people throughout the world are awakening to
their inherent power as spiritual beings capable of connecting with the
universal intelligence and using it to manifest [IT]self in this 3D/4D/5D
(multi-dimensional) world. As more people recognise and become
comfortable using this ability everything will change rapidly. You will
have the ability to manifest a world of cooperation and abundance with
ease and grace. Life will no longer be the struggle it once was.
Challenges will be accepted as opportunities to grow, and trust in
connection with source will replace allegiance to any governments or
religious belief structures.
It will enable each person to take responsibility for their own wellbeing as well as cooperating to make the lives of everyone else better as well.Embrace these wonderful changes and be prepared
for an amazing time of turmoil and transformation.

In this talk, we will examine how ideas cross from the real to the
unreal - how we go from a concept like "maybe the atom can be split?"
to nuclear reactors (and bombs!). We'll discuss the role of science fiction
in setting the ambitions of future engineers, and of literature in creating
future political aspirations. But most of all, we'll examine how we know
what we know: how does experience confirm or contradict ideas from
religious myths, and how to fringe phenomena like UFOs or the
Loch Ness Monster inform how we relate to other classes of
impossible-to-verify but culturally powerful ideas. How does the
scientific method differ from other ways of achieving truth, and
how do we map out the horizon of things which may be true, but are
true in ways which science cannot yet instrument or measure - for
example, the quality of artistic inspiration is a driving fact of life for
many people, but there is no scale or metric for it. Finally, the
overwhelming question of the day: how to make global warming
real enough to DO SOMETHING ABOUT ?

Michael..these guys were the poster boys of financial systems. Even with Celeb Status in CNN .in films and literature. Comparable with Oprah today.) In the last 2 decades often proclaiming themselves and enjoying their image as “masters of the universe”
Especially investment bankers. Deutsche Bank Boss Josef Ackermann always cuddled this troup of his house and called the business with small investors and simple people “peanuts”.
Governements , especially in US, kissed their feets.
Now the real values and intelligent regulations are in demand. Once again the blue vmemetic conveyor belt of global finance systems has to be updated and upgraded.
When the world of business can run….. as a loving family does, things will change.
But ONLY when women are treated with respect, and children are included in this quintessential equation for success.
Peace on Earth,

ABSOLUTELY 2U BOTH
Fears over throwing good cash after bad BEING expressed at DAVOS 2009
As Simon Heffer has said in today's Daily Telegraph ….
“IT IS now clear that Mr Brown's lack of experience at having to offer himself as leader of his party – the man with whom the buck stops – to any sort of electorate is one of the great handicaps he has now. He has endured democratic approval in his period at Number 10, and has become accustomed to doing without it: hence some of his recent policy howlers. The way things are going, he is never likely to get it.
IT IS offensive to the rest of the country – that vast majority who not only did not vote Labour in 2005, but who would never vote for Mr Brown now even if you paid them – that the current turbulence in politics is inevitably depicted as a Labour Party problem.
It is, of course, the country's problem. It is not just the Labour Party that has to endure an idiotic, destructive economic policy: it is ALL of us.
But it is, uniquely, the Labour Party that is responsible for our condition. They put this man in charge. They did so without any pretence of democratic procedure. It is nauseating, in the way politics goes, to have heard rather too many Labour MPs who one knows hate Mr Brown's guts going into the media in the past few days to defend him vigorously, seeking to prolong all our sufferings.
It is Labour tribalism that got us into this mess in the first place: we could all, frankly, do with a rest from it now.”
