Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here. You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest.

Fwd: Submission: A money system for the people - if we want it
by Michel Bauwens 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

*A money system for the people - if we want it* Money creation, like alchemy, is shrouded in ambiguous language and yields eternal wealth! For most of history these secrets have been used to empower sovereigns to spend money without the painful business of taxing or borrowing. Those foolish enough to try to grasp it with their rational minds are beffuddled by unexpected politics, propaganda and paradoxes. In modern times this power now resides almost absolutely with banks, who lend money which doesn't exist, and reap the interest as if it did! Are the alchemic fumes making your head spin? What if those proto-chemists were found to be not 'making gold' but merely charlatans 'taking gold'? Some sovereigns managed money better than others, but now that power resides with private corporations. The languge of 'wealth creation' masks the real intention which is extract money from society as fast as possible, to lock it up in tax havens, and to drive the masses, deprived of a medium of exchange, back to the bank to borrow more! The social conseqences are increasingly acknowledged (although not by banks) to include the rich-poor divide, short-termism, erosion of democracy, the military industrial complex and, via the growth imperative, climate change itself. Users of money and financial services seem to have very little influence in the matter. However much we disapprove of banks, boycotting them (as I do) makes normal life impossible. Banks are part of our social DNA, that's what Too Big To Fail means. The problem is not that saving and lending are critical functions which only banks can do. Indeed the idea that money is some kind of stuff which we rent is merely a misleading metaphor. The problem is that only a bank can underwrite your IOU so that everyone else will accept it. If all the banks and bank accounts were taken down in some Mr Robot scenario, the only money left would be a tiny volume of notes and coins. We wouldn't be able to pay each other and the economy would stop dead. Only by understanding the real function of banks, can we consider alternatives that might work for society. You might think the alchemical fumes are affecting me when I say the way forward is in the collective relocating our trust. But it is worth considering just how much trust we place in banks, not only to guard our savings from theft and bail-ins, but to invest responsibly without the need for taxpayer bailouts, to set interest rates such as LIBOR fairly, not to launder money for international drug cartels, and indeed to manage the quantity of money in the economy. And compare that trust with the trust we place in our friends, family and business associates. So the essence of bypassing banks, at least to the extent that we don't use money to pay interest and taxes, is understanding how IOUs work. In the <a href="https://hbr.org/2010/11/the-irish-banking-crisis-a-par">Irish banking strikes</a> of 1970s, the whole economy ran on IOUs in the form of cheques. Allegedly pub landlords took the role of judging creditworthiness. It wasn't the most efficient system but it worked. Similarly in Greece before the Euro, it was common practice for strong local businesses to pay their bills by cheque, and for that cheque to circulate as money before returning to the business. Both of these are examples of interest free money creation, and taken to scale, they create stable economies (no more boom and bust) in which credit is always available. So how could this be instituted today? Its not enough to hope that all the banks fail at once, (and wish for the calamity that would cause). It can't be expected that a whole culture would participate while banks are still omnipresent, But there are thousands of groups worldwide who practice forms of collaborative credit - the most numerous are business barter networks and LETS (Local Exchange Trading Systems). If only we had the collective sense to use them, not only would the economy's liquidity problems be solved, but economic policy would devolve much closer to us, the people who actually back the money! A key difference between these systems, which I call 'collaborative credit' systems and the mainstream economy is the principle of exchange. Conventional money is designed for saving, which means NOT exchanging. In fact by making debts more and more unpayable it can be shown even to prevent exchange. Many things can be used as a store of value, but a good medium of exchange requires that social consensus which is unique to money. Money which really facilitates exchange must be always <em>available</em> to be earned or borrowed, and it should be less valuable than real things to prevent its hoarding. The principle of exchange says that we should give and receive the same amount of value; that money isn't valuable in itself, it is just a way of tracking the balance of my giving and receiving. By committing to give and receive favours in equal measure, we acknowledge that being owed favours doesn't put one in a position of power, but brings with it an obligation to spend back. Taking responsibility for our own finances takes effort yes, but probably less than feeding a parasite! With money no longer scarce, competition (for money) gives way to collaboration. Collaborative credit implies that everybody's promise has equivalent value, which in economics is called fungibility, an important property of money. Because every credit is balanced by an equal and opposite debit, aggregate supply and demand in the system are perfectly balanced <em>by design</em>. The simplicity and elegance of the exchange paradigm makes neoliberal economics look like the blind leading the blind up an alley without a paddle! By forming what the Germans call 'exchange circles', narrow fields of reciprocation, we reduce our personal (and aggregate) demands for money; and within our own economic circles, we reclaim a measure of power of credit issuance and even monetary policy. So why isn't everybody doing it already? Even in Greece where the need is dire, the move to alternatives forms of production and exchange is almost imperceptible. I could list reasons all day about financial illiteracy, breakdown of trust, atomisation of society, but instead we should look to those who ARE doing it. Fortunately collaborative credit does not require that 'the masses' participate, only that the circles have sufficient density. The bigger, and more connected exchange circles become, and the more goods and services move within them, the more they look and behave like money systems, spreading more risk more evenly, and allowing credit of greater quantities for longer durations. If we use legal money, we do so for better or for worse, under the law. But the sentiment "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" needs no law, no regulation, no taxation, and no money. Those who are serious about a fairer economy, are the ones finding, trusting and working for each other. There is no alchemy for creating wealth, but the obscuration of money creation is about appropriating wealth created by others.

Ces pratiques, qui sont aujourd’hui très en vogue, bouleversent radicalement l’organisation traditionnelle des marchés et remettent en cause le droit du travail tout en soulevant des questions aiguës en matière de protection sociale. S’agit-il d’un effet de mode ou d’une tendance lourde qui, bénéficiant de la convergence de nouvelles aspirations humaines et des opportunités offertes par le numérique, préfigurerait ce que pourrait être l’économie de la fonctionnalité (donc celle des usages, de l’échange et du partage) ? Une économie dans laquelle serait progressivement abolie, comme l’avaient imaginé Alvin Toffler et Jeremy Rifkin, la distinction entre producteurs et consommateurs ? Et, dans une telle hypothèse, que deviendraient le travail et les droits qui y sont attachés, la protection sociale fortement liée au statut professionnel ? *Les plates-formes collaboratives : fin du salariat et du droit social ou précurseurs d’un nouveau contrat social ?* Tel sera le thème de la prochaine table ronde de Futuribles International qui se tiendra le *jeudi 2 février prochain (17h30-19h30)* au siège de notre association, 47 rue de Babylone, 75007 Paris. Cette table ronde sera introduite par *Nicolas Amar *et *Louis-Charles Viossat, *membres de l’Inspection générale des affaires sociales (IGAS), co-auteurs d’un rapport de l’IGAS sur « Les plates-formes collaboratives, l’emploi et la protection sociale » (mai 2016).

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Krystian Woznicki via Commoning <commoning(a)lists.commons-institut.org> Date: Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 3:37 PM Subject: [commoning] What Is It to Re-Think Radical Politics, Today? To: commoning(a)lists.commons-institut.org Dear Commoners, we will kick off the BG annual project FRIENDLY FIRE with a panel at this year's transmediale festival with a great line up and an urgent issue on the table: What Is It to Re-Think Radical Politics, Today? Please scroll down for all info and please spread the word! Hope to see you at the event. Kind regards, Krystian -- Friendly Fire: What Is It to Re-Think Radical Politics, Today? transmediale festival | Saturday, February 4th, 2017 | 12 p.m. House of World Cultures | Auditorium Recent political events such as Brexit and the Trump victory should compel the Left to re-think its approaches. The rise of Right-wing populism is transforming the arena of conflict, struggle and antagonism in general, marking it with an increasingly xenophobic and nationalistic politics. How should the Left question and understand this arena anew? Is there an emergent politics, which can design effective forms of organization and confrontational strategies that can build on and extend in new ways logics of political communication? In what ways does the Left have to reconsider what it means to be radical – both in terms of agenda and strategy? How might the Left effectively adjust its trajectory and mobilize its forces to begin confronting the current moment with its increasingly hostile, cynical, and polarized social, economic, and political terrain? Central to this new terrain is a rapid re-articulation of the relationship between the masses, communities, movements, infrastructure and media, both old and new. The challenge of this panel is: to explore new approaches to socio-political organization and mobilization, especially in the digital realm. Moderated by Krystian Woznicki, this panel with prolific thinkers and researchers such as Natalie Fenton, Robert Latham and Jutta Weber will reflect on the data infrastructure of the public sphere, the role of digital media in the political field and a politics of re-collectivity that reconceives of conflict and struggle as progressive forces in democracy. This panel, a copperation between Berliner Gazette and transmediale, will kick off the Berliner Gazette annual project FRIENDLY FIRE. *Natalie Fenton* Professor of Media and Communications; Co-Director Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Centre; Co-Director Centre for the Study of Global Media and Democracy Goldsmiths, University of London.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alain Renk <arenk(a)me.com> Date: 2017-01-30 1:43 GMT+07:00 Subject: Meilleurs Voeux 2017 par Alain Renk To: *J’ai eu le plaisir de vous croiser cette année, ou avant, et nous avons probablement abordé le sujet des villes, * à vous tous, je présente mes meilleurs vœux pour 2017. En ce moment charnière, vous repensez peut-être aux évènements de l’année passée et aux possibilités de renforcer la force de nos démocraties face à un monde incertain. Ceux qui me connaissent bien savent que je suis un indéfectible optimiste. J’ai la chance de travailler avec un réseau passionné de plus en plus étendu (1), et notre vision d’un monde où l’intelligence collective pourrait être utilisée à grande échelle pour améliorer les villes a vu des avancées majeures ces derniers mois. En particulier, 2016 a été l’année de la conférence Habitat III à Quito où a été signé le Nouvel Agenda Urbain par 193 pays <https://habitat3.org/the-new-urban-agenda/> qui a mis en avant le besoin de co-construire les transformations urbaines pour des villes plus inclusives. Ne vous trompez pas, les aspects positifs de l’Urbanisme Collaboratif dépassent de loin le champ des transformations physiques des territoires, comme le montre l’accueil de l’initiative 7 Milliards d’Urbanistes en Amérique du Sud <http://us7.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3015c6f9216674f0765a3236&id=b0576158a7>, en Chine et bien entendu en Europe. Utiliser le sujet des transformations urbaines pour organiser de nouvelles relations plus équilibrées entre les pouvoirs politiques, les experts et la société civile est un moyen incroyablement efficace de renforcer la résilience de notre civilisation face aux menaces qui montent, c’est une stratégie puissante pour construire de l’implication et défaire une apathie contemporaine croissante face à la perte des repères. ____________________________________________ *Le fil que je vous propose de suivre, c’est de participer à la fantastique capacité que développe l’urbanisme collaboratif à utiliser les transformations urbaines du monde entier comme une machine à reconstruire la confiance entre les élus, les experts et la société civile, et ainsi à agir pour la démocratie à l’échelle globale en partant du local.* ____________________________________________ (1) +infos sur les structures 7 Milliards d’Urbanistes, HOST et UFO en fin de mail Si nos ambitions pour l’urbanisme collaboratif vous semblent inatteignables telles que renforcer la démocratie au niveau mondial, rien que ça ?- c’est que la rentabilité sociale, économique et environnementale des projets initiés à Grenoble, Saint Nazaire et en Chine est si manifeste qu’il serait absurde, en ce début 2017, de ne pas y voir une révolution comparable au logiciel libre. Car Logiciel Libre et Urbanisme Collaboratif démontrent que le faire ensemble et une appropriation non limitée dans le temps produisent de nouvelles libertés et de nouvelles responsabilités <http://www.revuesurmesure.fr/issues/villes-usages-et-numerique/wikibuilding…>nécessaires pour réactiver la démocratie. *Stay tuned**, nous vous proposerons rapidement, à titre personnel ou professionnel, quelque soit votre disponibilité, et quelques soit votre pays, d’aider ou de participer à des actions d’urbanisme collaboratif. Comment ? * Participer à des Urban Campus organisés avec l’ONU - Acheter un cadeau WKKB pour vos enfants - Monter un démonstrateur de ville durable inclusive pour le PIA III - Développer un atelier d’urbanisme collaboratif, dans une école, une université ou une ville - Gagner un concours architecture ou d’urbanisme innovant - Lancer une Smart-City de génération 2 - Inviter des enfants dans un musée pour une « Kids can+ AaL Party “ - Hacker un appel d’offres classique pour y intégrer de la co-construction réelle - Soutenir l’ONG d’intérêt public 7 Milliards d’Urbanistes - Et ce que vous proposerez…? Vous êtes toujours là ? Waouh, merci ! Alors n’hésitez pas à regarder cette description du paysage de la concertation par le chercheur Loïc Blondiaux <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-1mP35l8TA> du CESSP et du GIS Démocratie et Participation. Elle est éclairante. On y voit qu’il appartient probablement à l’élite de la haute administration de montrer l’exemple, car si les positions autoritaires et les violences en réponse continuent de se développer, nous nous préparons des années difficiles, cela dépend de nous tous… Et si vous avez encore un peu de temps, vous trouverez ici le lien vers deux vidéos qui expriment deux approches de l’urbanisme, l’une experte, descendante par Juan Clos <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFHAGrCKAzk> Executive Director of UN-Habitat, l’autre provenant du terrain, ascendante, par Sheela Patel <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwOTtfr67rc>, <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwOTtfr67rc> Chaiwoman of Slum Dwellers International. Ces modes de faire ne sont pas à opposer, car aucun ne peut remplacer l’autre. L’urbanisme collaboratif fait plus que relier ces deux approches —> ____________________________________________ *Par la construction progressive de la confiance entre acteurs, l**’urbanisme collaboratif semble pouvoir intégrer les approches descendantes et ascendantes au sein d’avenirs plus libres, plus transparents et ouverts à 360°. * ____________________________________________ Pour finir, je vous souhaite à nouveau une très bonne année 2017, avec des débats et des délibérations bien structurées pour plus d’efficacité ; ) Au plaisir de nous revoir en 2017 Alain Renk Ci-dessous, le descriptif rapide des trois structures : HOST est une agence d’architecture collaborative <http://www.host-architects.org/>. Fondée en 2000, l’agence est connue aujourd’hui pour être à l’initiative du concept Wikibuilding. Les architectures “Wikibuilding” fonctionnent comme des plateformes d’innovations, évolutives, à même de faire émerger les nouvelles dynamiques sociales et économiques d’un territoire, <http://wikibuilding.io/> car celles-ci vont y trouver le substrat et le respect nécessaire pour y croître. UFO est un hybride, autant agence d’urbanisme collaboratif que Civc-Tech. <http://urbanfab.org/> Crée en 2010 par des urbanistes, des architectes, des sociologues et des codeurs. L’objectif est d’utiliser les nouvelles capacités offertes par le numérique au service de la démocratie, mais à travers les projets d’urbanisme. Dès 2011, de nombreux prototypes de méthodes innovantes appuyées sur des outils numériques ont été développés sous le nom générique ‘Unlimited Cities’. Puis à partir de 2012, des solutions opérationnelles ont été précisées, en itération avec des villes comme Rennes et Montpellier, ou des acteurs privés comme Transdev. <http://unlimitedcities.org/> L’ONG 7 Milliards d’Urbanistes <http://7billion-urbanists.org/> s’est imposée naturellement pour les membres de HOST et de UFO, car notre engagement pour l’intelligence collective nous conduisait vers des méthodes Open Source et librement partageables. Internationale, initiée avec des co-fondateurs européens, chinois et américains en 2005, 7 Milliards d’Urbanistes aide toutes les organisations qui souhaitent renforcer une de leurs initiatives en utilisant des méthodes d’urbanisme collaboratif parfaitement testées et opérationnelles. Ici une des vidéos présentées sur le Pavillon de France lors de la conférence ONU Habitat III. <https://vimeo.com/176082518> …………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Fwd: Industrial Production of Poultry Gives Rise to Deadly Strains of Bird Flu H5Nx

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Latham <jrlatham(a)bioscienceresource.org> Date: Mon, Jan 30, 2017 at 7:53 AM Subject: Industrial Production of Poultry Gives Rise to Deadly Strains of Bird Flu H5Nx To: bsr-PROJECT-ELIST1(a)gn.apc.org Dear Friends and Colleagues Published on Monday Jan 30, 2017, by *Independent Science News*. *Industrial Production of Poultry Gives Rise to Deadly Strains of Bird Flu H5Nx* by Rob Wallace, PhD https://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/industrial-production- of-poultry-gives-rise-to-deadly-strains-of-bird-flu-h5nx/ *Synopsis:* Multiple deadly new strains of H5N bird flu are successively infecting poultry farms across the globe. These pathogens are killing millions of farmed birds and threaten human outbreaks. Thanks to industry-funded research, blame is usually placed on wild bird populations and climate change. According to new research, however, the real culprit is escaping that judgment. It is factory farm conditions such as cramped housing, genetic uniformity, and the rapid cycling of birds.
