Libya, Evolving
The extraordinary events in the Middle East continue to unfold this week with the revolution in Libya. In a few short weeks, the forty-year-old reign of Muammar Qaddafi finds itself hanging by a thread in Tripoli. In this interview, David Riordan and I take a look at what's been happening in Libya, asking the following questions:
So what do you think? Are we currently seeing evolution, revolution, or regression taking place in Libya? Let us know in the comments below!

Miss identification
Posted March 3rd, 2011 by Brian OConnellThrough out the interview it was seen that the revolutions in the middle east were about the evolutionary drive to modernity. Nice try, but these revolutions are coming from the global inflation of commodities, especially food. Not a drive for modernity. The global inflation is coming from the economic depression started by derivatives failing in markets in developed nations.
Also running through the interview is the nation building to fight Al Qaeda , when Al Qaeda is a false psyops events of the cia. We are in afganistan to protect and build the heroin field to disrupt Russi, meaning another CIA operation to keep Russia from developing. It has nothing to do with terrorism. We are in Iraq because Saddam was going to trade in Euros instead of dollars which would have collapsed the dollar. Not to get WMD or terrorists.
Also running through the interview is the drive for global management AKA global government. When there already is a global power, called the global banking elite, or illuminate which caused the economic crisis to begin with. The focus in the interview was on a nation level and missed the global elite in our mist. Talking as if global government is coming , instead of noticing it has been around for over 100 years or more.
They talk about modernism as a solution for RED when the global elite are a blood line tribal organization. Like the US is beyond that in structure and we have evolved. Its more like we have a modern structure with a RED structure under and over it. So in the US we have the image of being modern when it is not fully modern and has a RED foundation in banking and the corpratocracy. Above the law and not tied to any nation.
And Obama has good sense, please. Don't know where to begin with that one.
The big problem will be if this revolution goes to Saudi Arabia. Looks like WWIII and not a drive to modernize.
We need a new energy source and current green technologies will not come close. Check out my post on Energy HERE and www.blacklightpower.com
Lets evolve past the devil and get some powerful new energy resources. So we do not have to protect or interests that the global elite put us in anyway.

A Morphic Field of Modernity....
Posted March 2nd, 2011 by Mary Linda LandauerListening to this conversation what stands out is this notion of a morphic field, created by modern technology, and giving rise to a social media of information all over the world. This energy is being conveyed throughout the world at a rapid speed and it's power is not to destroy but to create.....creation of new systems of governments, businesses and other more modern institutions that better serve the needs of social justice and its people.....its not about conquer and destroy, and this, I believe, is what makes it very different from other rebellions....this is a population that is more educated and more willing to stand up with their voices, in order to gather a momentum that will force out these destructive regimes and red tribal leaderships.....
A thought that comes and I shall ask the question here: Gas prices seemed to esculate too quickly...meaning, is the price of gas going up because some corporations see the opportunitiy to gain with this uprising? Or is this a true reflection of how quickly the oil is being shut down from us? I wonder if anyone else is pondering this too....
I am excited about the speech that Rober Gates made: this is also a good indication, I believe, we are learning some big and important lessons.....and, I agree with Jeff in that as Integralists we need to see our role in this; how do we help with our postmodern voices in the world at this extraordianary time?
Blessings to all,
Mary Linda

thoughts on Libya
Posted March 2nd, 2011 by Kerry DuganRecalling stories from my father-in-law from when he was a pilot in Libya, I think the greatest developmental challenge that the country faces is in realizing that modernity, what they’re engaged in potentially approaching, is without specific content. My hope is that the Libyans themselves can sort out in their own hearts and minds the differences between allowing their manifestation of development in a native organic manner, and adaptation to extrinsic forms, such as Western models/examples. One obstical is a tendency to equate modernity with resented hypocracy (as Akbar Ahmed pointed out a few years ago in his interview with Don Beck), rejecting what's calling them forward because they mistake their own dawning iterations for what they've already known to be a lie. Deeper than any imposed aspects of globalization is the intrinsic impulse to grow. That’s what I think they need to trust. Innovation rather than imitation. Especially while swept up in reacting to neighboring events, duplicating strategies, copying tactics, basing expectations on observed outcomes… if they can keep the interiority of motivation intact that attention to their unique unfolding would be their greatest accomplishment. It may be the only sustainable, resilient progress. The shapes the conflict takes may depend on the degrees to which the citizenry negotiates the tensions between what their own next step naturally is, and the many forces impacting their decisions from perspectives which they themselves do not take. ...an evolution, a revolution, a regression? Yes.

Libya is not evolving - it is being manipulated
Posted March 3rd, 2011 by Carey ButlerLibya is, just like all of the states in the area, being destabilized and quite possibly balkanized. It is another example of geopolitical manipulation being visited upon all of us.
Please consider basing your perspective upon sources of information other than the mainstream media. They are not a reliable source of information.
These events have nothing to do with history, religion or freedom - it has to do with money. Look at where commodity prices are going, the inflation rate and the value of the Dollar.
It is scripted change and we should be recognizing that. I thought we were cognitively more advanced?
