...and that's the problem of what do we do about the best and the brightest when a huge bulk of them are, one way or another, serving as one kind of functionary or another in the current mainstream business as usual Neoliberal "New World Order."
Or something to that effect. And let's face it- part of the reason for that is that the way of the world is what the way of the world is. Which is another way of saying "Salga lo que Salga," or loosely translated "go what goes". Or for more of the song type of reference that I like so good: "Que serra serra..."
Obviously, a lot of people are doing great things and admirable work outside the mainstream and they are dedicated to peace, social justice, and economic Democracy. But in order to attract more talent and strength to that kind of endeavor we have to develop more viable livelihoods to the cause of our ongoing "Great Work." (http://dialogdemocracy.org/on_berrys_the_grerat_work.htm) And in the mean time, we have to make an appeal to the "Best and the Brightest" who would in fact join in the effort of doing that kind of Great Work but unfortunately most of the quality livelihoods "out there" to be earned and had are working for the aforenetioned "New World Order".
So check out http://dialogdemocracy.org/to_the_best_and_brightest.htm and please make some suggestions on how to create more and more employment opportunities for not only them- the current crop of the so called "Best and the Brightest"- but also everybody else- especially those at the other end of the economic spectrum and most especially among them young people who do not have the opportunity structure they should and that mddle class or better affluent Americans pretty much take for granted.

Not really gaining too too much momentum all too quickly…
…which is O.K. and just means that the grinding- again, much like Tiger had to do at Torrey Pines- has to be the emphasis. And then it’s salga lo que salga, Bru… No what I am saying?
http://www.allbookstores.com/book/compare/0275989968 will link you to Aaron Barlow’s The Rise of the Blogosphere price compare page on allbookstores.com’s Web Site which is a great- from a consumer’s point of view anyway- bookbuying site in that it gives you a whole range of sites that sell a particular book and their prices etc. and then y’all can do what you want.
I mentioned Barlow’s book in a previous post and if interested in some comments made during a perusal of it check out…(oops, I am having trouble with my Web Hosting so I will go ahead and post the somewhat lengthy comments on Barlow’s book here and when I can link to it at dialogD I will.
Blogs as the New Free Advocacy and Organizing Press- Some Notes while reading Aaron Barlow’s The Rise of the Blogosphere
Thursday, May 01, 2008, 11:45 AM.
A quote:
“Certainly, in looking over the backgrounds of political blogs, one quickly finds that blogs are simply allowed by technology, not that they are caused by technology. The cultural forces that led individuals to adopt the blogs so readily as a means of political expression arose long before the technology appeared. In fact, those forces first arose along with the momentum toward revolution in the middle of the eighteenth century, only to be suppressed as the growing commercial and professional news media squeezed the public sphere almost to nonexistence.”
-From Aaron Barlow’s Introduction-
*
Blogs as a new incarnation of citizen journalism. And in the case of my blogging a direct advocacy call for major citizen activism to the point of calling for a revolutionary change in American political reality…

Chapter 2 “The Rise of Advocacy Journalism”
Blogs and bloggers as a new public space outside the mainstream. From which not only advocacy for candidates and ideas and policies still rising through the ranks of and under the fundamental control of the mainstream gatekeepers (IE corporate MSM, the two major bipartisan and thoroughly co-opted by mainstream funding interests Political Parties, the perceived consensus of money’s overriding and rightful place as the be all end all of whose voice can be taken “seriously” in the course of “business and politics as usual”) but an actual advocacy and organizing entity for an entirely different agenda than mainstream everything as it now carries out it’s relatively narrow and limiting function on how things are allowed to get done. And the way things now are able to get done or not get done is at the heart of the matter, is the crux of the problem that we collectively face.
*
Blogs and what evolves from where they’re at now can also create new “Public Spaces” from which the new 2nd American Revolution can emerge out from. It will be made possible by the new technologies available through the Internet with respect to communications, education, organization, and cost efficiency in all these and other areas that will achieve a sort of flattening of access to the spheres of influence and power. It is the development of this new kind of access that a genuine peaceful yet Radically Evolutionary Progressive Grassroots Transformational Democracy Solidarity movement can actually be built from and eventually successfully gain and wield influence and power in the real world…
(a real world by the way where the Netroots play a role in organizing but are not confused as being the be all end all arbiters of what’s needed-given that the earliest bloggers and Netizens are mostly made up of “up from the upper middle class elites” and heavily techno gizmo oriented and entrenched and that crowd is so incredibly privileged within the current social, economic, and educational milieu that they can hardly be expected to be the sole cause or articulator of the radical sea changes that will be necessary for any of the semi progressive agendas they may be advocating for to be even remotely attainable)
*
Now reading about Tom Paine (again in Barlow’s The Rise of the Blogosphere) and very nearly falling deeply asleep… (Aside to Reader: not the fault of the book, author, it’s publisher, or any of their respective heirs)
“Paine united the rebellious faction of the colonies as no one else had and expanded the universe of political discourse to include even the unlettered… Eventually someone will take advantage of 21st century possibilities in a similar way…” -p.22 par.4-
Unlike most other pamphleteers Paine actually did present a plan for the future and not just complaints about contemporary injustice. -p.23 par.1-
The genesis of the law…must lie in the people. -p.23 par.3-
Just as bloggers are stepping around… (MSM) …Paine was sidestepping the colonial elite… -p.24 par.4-
A central American debate: more Democracy for everyone or Democracy just as a media show of the elites… to facilitate the efficient governance as they see fit of everyone except them and their cronies… while living with as little public sector Democratic control styled “smaller Guv’ment” over their self interested and aggrandizing shenanigans as possible. Currently we are in the throes of a new Gilded Age reactionary backlash of perhaps the most elite centered conservative dominance in this debate as ever in our history as a Nation.
*
“Again, to date, no one of impact remotely akin to that of Paine has arisen from the blogs. It is possible that no one ever will (though, always the optimist, I believe such a person is just around the corner). However, when one remembers that is was societal demand for change along with technological change that set the stage for Paine’s entrance, it is hard to imagine that the social needs of the 21st Century, on top of the technological advances of the late 20th century, will not force Paine’s modern-day equivalent to step from the wings. –p.26 par.2-

An Interesting link here...
...to an article sent to me by one of my plant guys http://jim.com/killer.htm
Although I know I gotta lotta lotta work to do...
...and it's not easy to forget about those women and that water can (with apropriate apologies to Mr Roy Orbison). But pretty soon the work is going to start fleshing out a little and taking some form. And that means that I will start the scary and somewhat tenuous process of getting in touch with many old friends and peeps from all over the place and time and see who might want to join in the blogging for democracy web 4.0 or so that is being called for and somewhat started here.
Who knows where it might lead? Not me. And I don't really care. There, I've said it.
But where ever it's going to lead the www.dialogdemocracy.org web site has to be the main focus for the most part until it is vastly upgraded and improved from where it's at and the shape it's in right now. So that's going to be the main emphasis for the next several days. Hopefully I can make some serious progress on that and do a little constructive blogging and blog related communicatin' and be in way more energized shape towards the end of next week- which will leave 2 count `em two weeks to really power on down toward the next coney island of my mind road trip. Farward and faiyaka. Minnotuh- and den gosaka.

Progressive Solidarity and Activist Convergence With All New Web 4.0 (beta)...
...yeah that's the ticket. That's what dialogD must transmorgrify towards. There is "my work" assignment in a nut shell. Yeah yeah yeah right right right. "I think of Dean Moriarty. I think of old Dean Moriarty." Google that quote. If it comes up then all might or might not be lost- to paraphrase Woodie Guthrie.
Anyway, todays lookabouting brought me to one Charles Leadbeater http://zero.newassignment.net/assignmentzero/charles_leadbeater_key_writer_thinker_consultant#
who's new book project "We think" might be worth checking out ... Soooo...
http://wethink.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
It's time for me to go back to www.dialogdemocracy.org and spruce it up and give it a little more coherence in terms of what I am really gonna try and call for whilst blogging about.
Jeff Jarvis is a guy billed as a Citizen Journalist Activist. Check him out at:
http://www.buzzmachine.com/about-me/
All these high level white folks already part of the digerati elite and living there uber upper middle class lives. Can they connect with a progressive political movement that includes people of vastly differing and diverse backgrounds and cultures? And what about the folks's that need to be mobilized who are so fundamentally left out of the opportunity structures so comfortably utilized by the college professors and writers and political organizers and other movers and shakers of the current cultural stratification reality... how do we not all just get along but how do we work for some kind of common ground or commons where we can all thrive?

Musings on being ready to Back Barack...
...
Originally written 5/2/2008 11:42 AM
I really am starting to like Barack Obama much more as the campaign and fundraising and jive ass shallow advertising drag on and on. Even though I think B.O. is somewhat automatically corrupted just by having risen this up the “mainstream” he still is I think, the most inspiring of potentially idealistic activist progressive agents for change to emerge in that mainstream American political landscape since Bobby Kennedy was gunned down in `68 just months after MLK was. Time it was and what a time it was- eh?
And I think fears that the same could happen to Barack if he’s elected are real but that isn’t necessarily the way the Right will neutralize him. He could just be a one term blip who is made to look so bad by circumstances along with the same “vast right wing conspiracy” that relentlessly badgered the Clintons even as they were out Reaganing Reagan pretty much their whole eight years of having their chance to turn the tides…
And there is so much they can do to make him look bad. Things like really letting the economy bottom out for the next four years. I mean- really let people suffer. Sure, it’s the Neocons that mismanaged everything to corruptly funnel resources to the Big Boy Cronie Network they work for- but six months into the Democrats being in power it’s going to be them and the Clintons being blamed and Barack will just be the Pawn Prez till the new Neocon annointee emerges.
(maybe not a Bush this time but I say that’s when things really are going to get scary- a charismatic newcomer who actually can pull off a better image than W. and sound like he knows what he’s talking about and that it’s him saying what he’s saying. I mean- if half the country can buy the Neocons agenda with Bush and Cheney quarterbacking their team just think how a next generation Iraq War Hero with West Point or The Citadel credentials could inspire the Great American People.)
Or maybe it won’t be a real Iraq War Hero but another actor. I’m thinking Chuck Norris now. Or what about a repackaged Newt Gingrich. He’ll come out all critical of the Bushies and trumpet the great accomplishments of his “Contract on Americans” and invoke the Saint Hood of Ronnie Ray Guns and low and behold the mainstream media will have him framed as a real life Thomas Jefferson or Tom Paine.
But however this election goes the resources of the wealthiest 1-5% will be mostly focused on seeing that no wealth or resources anywhere in the world can be used or developed for the general wealth, commons, and or well being of local populations or indigenous souls anywhere, anyhow, no way… Like always. And that is going to be a hell a lot for this current bunch (including Barack) of the so called Democratic Party opposition to overcome.
So my point is they may be able to kill the hope he represents better just by making him look ineffectual and not up to making a difference after all and four years from now look out- or, President McCain becomes the New Ray Gun and his VP will be a Dan Quayle or Sonnie Dubya type who becomes the next figurehead down the line while Cheney (and later on down the line his everlasting eternal fully functional virtual reality holigram) keeps doing what the Global Corporate Board `O the Whirl tells him from the Control Panel in his combination Hunting Lodge/ Missile Proof Bunker.

An article http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/07/14/10348/ at “Common Dreams” originally published on Monday, July 14, 2008 by The Independent/UK by Leonard Doyle titled “Bush to Hasten Iraq Troop Withdrawal to Help McCain Win White House”. Gee gosh, they wouldn’t do anything underhanded or politically motivated concerning how, why, or when American troops are deployed into or out of harms way, would they?

More and more as I gear up, ramp up, amp up my blogging toward real world real time right here right now just doing it time I think- where this all can lead has to be something more than what it’s doing so far. There seems to be two main camps on the “Potential” democratizing effects the Internet in general and the roll of blogging specifically might or should have on things. Meantime if you look around the Internet and read blogs of various partisan stripes you will find that everything under the sun is “out there”. One can pick and choose from all manner of quality and partisan niches.
So just because something is being blogged about don’t really matter. It don’t mean squat. But the big thing is the potential for a different kind of “Citizen Journalism”- yeah sure that- to evolve but also along with it new kinds of capabilities for citizen activism to emerge which might ideally level the playing field and ultimately take money out of the ultimate equation enough so that the interests of the American people might be put first rather than marginalized in the interest of serving the needs of the biggest players in Imperial Global Capitalism.
Somewhere somebody once said that if only the people who actually benefited and thrived under the policies of Ronald RayGun’s administrations had voted for him he’d have gotten maybe 5% of the popular vote. Now I think that may be a wee bit of an exaggeration but still… even if 15% could be argued the fact is that the conservative majority has been built on a foundation of duplicity, false advertising, election stealing, wholesale gerrymandering, and buying elections with their almost unfathomable material resource advantage. Which is only worsening as the Income Divide of this New Gilded Age gets worse with every newly occurring shakeout or adjustment in the “Global Economy”.
When will it become obvious enough that there can be no meaningful Democracy, economic justice, or much of a civil society (outside of the gated communities and corporate green zone bunker communities of the one percenters) when the wealthiest 1% of a country owns or controls 60+% of the wealth? Or at least obvious enough for the American people to wake up from there delusion that we’re all in this together and that our National elites are operating in the best interests of all of us out here who are just scuffling to get by? And by waking up I mean taking the kind of civic and Democratic action necessary to get us onto a different path with significantly more heart than the one displayed by Faux Macho Neocon insanity or their other side of the aisle complicitous limp wristed “bipartisan opposition.”
That’s where the potential of blogging and the internet and more efficient and coordinated progressive grass roots organizing can com into the mix in amore profound way than ever in the history of the Union. Because, as Martin Luther King once said: "Those who love peace must learn to organize as well as those who love war."
