Who Knew? </B></FONT><BR><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-SIZE: small" class=yiv2146745206Apple-style-span><BR>I had the privilege last week to meet with recently retired US Marine Corp Colonel Mark (“Puck”) Mykleby, who authored with Navy Captain Wayne Porter “<A href="http://www.capitalinstitute.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=600&qid=53445" rel=nofollow target=_blank></FONT><FONT color=#5987c6>A National Strategic Narrative</A>,” under the pen name “Mr Y.” Their paper was intended to begin to define the narrative that will replace “containment”—which became the central doctrine of US foreign policy after George Kennan wrote “The Sources of Soviet Conduct,” under the pseudonym “X” in 1947.</SPAN></div>
<div><FONT color=#333333 size=2 face=calibri>Mykleby's and Porter’s paper, part of a project authorized in 2009 by the Joint Chiefs to develop a new “Grand Strategic Narrative,” is very high level and sweeping. At its core is a recommendation that our national security will be dependent upon a switch from “containment to sustainment,” a play on the word “sustainability.” What impressed me was how the most senior members of our military seemed to grasp the sustainability imperative as a national security priority, more so than many of our political leaders, and more so than many in the private sector.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT color=#333333 size=2 face=calibri>Like OWS, the intent of the new "Grand Strategic Narrative" project is to spark a national conversation. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and OWS ...

The march didn't produce policy papers or business plans, but it did bring together the biggest gathering of people for the values of the Occupy movement since its beginnings two months ago. </SPAN></div>

Swinney worked for 15 years as a turret lathe operator and labor organizer in North Chicago. In 1982, after his last employer, Taylor Forge, was taken over and milked for cash by Gulf & Western Corporation Swinney founded the Center for Labor and Community Research.</FONT></div>
<div><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); FONT-SIZE: small" class=yiv2146745206Apple-style-span>We must now block off the “low road” of short-termism and speculation that is plunging us deeper into societal and environmental malaise, and destroying our nation’s critical productive capacity, says Swinney. Reviving and redirecting that capacity to support our transition to a more just and sustainable economy and to build new wealth for all Americans will require labor, community, government and the private sector to abandon their adversarial relationships and work collaboratively. The Chicago Manufacturing Renaissance Council, with its unlikely collaboration among 65 local manufacturing companies, labor unions, the inner city Chicago community of Austin, and <A href="http://www.capitalinstitute.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=593&qid=53445" rel=nofollow target=_blank></FONT><FONT color=#5987c6>Austin Polytechnic High

White, Director of Corporation 20/20 and cofounder of the Global Reporting Initiative, notes that “amid the rancorous climate fueling the Occupy Wall Street movement, one concept has emerged as a shared banner among politicians and pundits on both the left and right: the 'social contract.'" In his paper White explores the conservative and progressive movements’ conflicting interpretations of the social contract. He concludes that “it is the progressive version of the contract that represents the enlighted path forward.”</SPAN></div>
