Hello Friends,

Its been a little while since I have sat down to write a post in my blog. I have been knee deep in finishing the last few touches on my passion development project that I have been working on for the last 2 years. Well we are now finally out of development, out of the dreadful Alpha stage, and ready to let loose with our Beta introduction into the marketplace.

FYI: www.ecoeconow.org is powered by our exclusive www.pcfmojo.com system and platform.

The name of this project is www.ecoeconow.org, no window dressing yet (meaning text and media content) that will start happening every day as we near our official launch 1 Jan 2011. The following is what I call a new chapter in Grassroots, Social Action.

Understanding what a social movement system is, and why!

Hello and welcome to this new blog post, open forum dedicated to helping everyone better understand what a “Social Movement System” is, and how everyone can be part of real Global change at a grass roots level.

In this new age of confusion, mass chaos, and overwhelming fear, people, the planet itself needs more than just hope. It needs change all the way down to the individual level.

Many are looking outward for the answers, but the answers are in front of everyone, to make change, one must first change themselves. Harsh? Not really… just simple reality… one that you need to understand, and accept to move to a higher place, and be part of a higher purpose other than ones personal needs.

The self, or the desire for only ones self has been the catalyst to this Global economic, and ecological demise we all face. Understanding this as a foundation will help one better understand why the word’s social, movement, and system are key words when combined together.

Today the social phenomena is exploding… why because now finally everyone has a voice… everyone can share… not constrained by the establishments. Today newspapers are crying that “citizen journalism” has ruined real news… what a oxymoron,,, the news as they want us to see it, or the news as it is unedited, from the common persons perspective… hum…

Even cable TV is complaining that the Internet is killing its viewer ship,,, ah shucks… I wonder how the movie industry felt when TV came along,,, and then how regular TV felt when cable came on to the scene… all of this is pure capitalistic greed, monopolistic thinking… its OK for me but not you,,, ya right…

Now is the time for individuals to choose, to create, share, be part of… To take social to the streets of change… there are millions of worthy causes at the mercy of the generosity of peoples donations… is that truly effective, is this right? No way in my eyes… so I started with an idea, then I mind mapped it, then it became a dream, then a plan, and now today its a reality… this is not my dream anymore, its not yours, its a dream that belongs to everyone, and every living thing on our planet… its not green, blue, red, or any other specific genre…

Its an ideology, a blueprint on creating change via social interaction, thus propelling a movement about anything worthy of human caring.. there is something specific every human is passionate about… and that same passion is shared by others… its the combination of social interaction, with purpose driven viral promotion, all with an end cause that is supported specifically for that specific social need,,, the system is the technology, the blueprints, the education, and most important the value proposition. This combination is what feeds that specific social movement’s cause.

I know some are saying right now, huh???? But I also know some are also feeling “de ja vous”,,, or where did I hear that before… maybe its not that you have heard it, but maybe its that you feel it… deep inside.

To me its a feeling, an instinct, that I know is right even though I may not understand everything that I feel… it is said by many that life is a journey not a destination… why can’t this apply to the journey of these words, feelings, and vision?

It does apply… and in its infancy, is a mapped out ideology, and platform…

For me the first movement will deal with 2 of the the top 3 crisis we face today as a planet. Economic meltdown, and ecological destruction… after we establish a purpose driven “social movement system” towards those 2 Global looming issues, we can then attack the third major issue Global hunger… However Global Hunger is directly effected by Economics, and Ecology… so our efforts will have its effect there also.

I look at building a movement, like building an army… an army of individuals focused on a grassroots set of goals… but like any true army the soldiers need to get paid, so they can do their mission… so our unison steps are simple, earn through the power of impacting change, direct contribution from efforts, not donations…

This is just the beginning… if your curious and truly feel you need more… to be part of change that effects every living creature on this planet then sign up for free into our community.. then engage, explore, and journey with us to true purpose driven social change via our social movement system.

www.ecoeconow.org is simply a social movement system focused initially around economic, ecological change now both at the individual, and global level.

The Party is Over – Time for Self, Responsibility & Sustainability

Dom:) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:44:17 +0000

I just received this following post via email from a fellow Global Partisan. This article spells out the distorted reality not just American’s are facing, but what the whole world is facing.

The truth is inevitable, the path already paved. Now its time for every global citizen to look inside, and think about how they can create, and live a sustainable, self responsible life. Please read this article and take heart, to me its not a blame game, its history, and what we do is the future.

THE PARTY’S OVER

A friend sent this op ed to me and it is written in such a clear fashion that I felt I should pass this on to my readers. It is not partisan and lays the blame on us all.
By Linda Monk
The Crash of 2008, which is now wiping out trillions of dollars of our people’s wealth, is, like the Crash of 1929, likely to mark the end of one era and the onset of another.
The new era will see a more sober and much diminished America. The ‘Omnipower’ and ‘Indispensable Nation’ we heard about in all the hubris and braggadocio following our Cold War victory is history.
Seizing on the crisis, the left says we are witnessing the failure of market economics, a failure of conservatism. This is nonsense. What we are witnessing is the collapse of Gordon Gecko (‘Greed Is Good!’) capitalism.
What we are witnessing is what happens to a prodigal nation that ignores history, and forgets and abandons the philosophy and principles that made it great.
A true conservative (Rep or Dem) cherishes prudence and believes in fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets and a self-reliant republic.
He believes in saving for retirement and a rainy day, in deferred gratification, in not buying on credit what you cannot afford, in living within your means.
Is that really what got Wall Street and us into this mess — that we followed too religiously the gospel of Robert Taft and Russell Kirk? ‘Government must save us!’ cries the left, as ever.
Yet, who got us into this mess if not the government — the Fed with its easy money, Bush with his profligate spending, and Congress and the SEC by liberating Wall Street and failing to step in and stop the drunken orgy?
For years, we Americans have spent more than we earned. We save nothing. Credit card debt, consumer debt, auto debt, mortgage debt, corporate debt — all are at record levels. And with pensions and savings being wiped out, much of that debt will never be repaid.
Our standard of living is inevitably going to fall. For foreigners will not forever buy our bonds or lend us more money if they rightly fear that they will be paid back, if at all, in cheaper dollars. We are going to have to learn to live again within our means.
THE PARTY’S OVER!
Up through World War II, we followed the Hamiltonian idea that America must remain economically independent of the world in order to remain politically independent.
But this generation decided that was yesterday’s bromide and we must march bravely forward into a Global Economy, where we all depend on one another.
American companies morphed into ‘Global Companies’ and moved plants and factories to Mexico, Asia, China, and India, and we began buying more cheaply from abroad what we used to make at home: shoes, clothes, bikes, cars, radios, TVs, planes, computers.
As the trade deficits began inexorably to rise to 6 percent of GDP, we began vast borrowing from abroad to continue buying from abroad.
At home, propelled by tax cuts, war in Iraq and an explosion in social spending, surpluses vanished and deficits reappeared and began to rise.
The dollar began to sink, and gold began to soar.
Yet, still, the promises of the politicians come.

Barrack Obama will give us national health insurance and tax cuts for all but that 2 percent of the nation that already carries 50 percent of the federal income tax load.
Who are we kidding?
What we are witnessing today is how empires end. The Last Superpower is unable to defend its borders, protect its currency, win its wars, or balance its budget.
Medicare and Social Security are headed for the cliff with unfunded liabilities in the tens of trillions of dollars.
What we are witnessing today is nothing less than a Katrina-like failure of government, of our political class, and of democracy itself, casting a cloud over the viability and longevity of the system.
Notice who is managing the crisis. Not our elected leaders. Nancy Pelosi says she had nothing to do with it.
Congress is paralyzed and heading home. President Bush is nowhere to be seen.
Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs and Ben Bernanke of the Fed chose to bail out Bear Sterns but let Lehman go under. They decided to nationalize Fannie and Freddie at a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of billions, putting the U. S. government behind $5 trillion in mortgages.
They decided to buy AIG with $85 billion rather than see the insurance giant sink beneath the waves. Unelected financial elite is now entrusted with the assignment of getting us out of a disaster into which an unelected financial elite plunged the nation.
We are just spectators.
What the Greatest Generation handed down to us — the richest, most powerful, most self-sufficient republic in history, with the highest standard of living any nation had ever achieved — the baby boomers, oblivious and self-indulgent to the end, have frittered away.
Added Comments:
How do WE THE PEOPLE put the villains who are responsible under oath and sit them down at public hearings to determine whose necks should meet the guillotine?
Hypocritically, those who had oversight responsibility such as Senator Chris Dodd [Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee] and Barney Frank [Chairmen, House Financial Services Committee] who helped get us into this mess are on every TV channel voicing their righteous indignation and pompously sitting on their elevated platform glaring down at those they are chastising and grilling, trying to pass the blame to others.
WE THE PEOPLE should be on the elevated platform in judgment and execution of the likes of Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and the rest of the band of thieves and conspirators who are responsible for the financial collapse of the USA.
To name just a few of the culprits:
Henry Paulson Jr, Secretary of the Treasury
Alan Greenspan & Ben Bernanke — Chairman Federal Reserve
Christopher Cox, SEC Chairman.
But not to worry — YOUR PUBLIC SERVANTS who fear being voted out of office will take their self-awarded Golden Parachute Congressional Retirement, give WE THE PEOPLE the finger one last time and head for their safe havens as the World Citizens they are.
However, before they waddle off into the sunset, they will go on record one last time denouncing corporate greed, lavish salaries, and bonuses for their key felons at Fannie May, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers & AIG
Meanwhile, WE THE PEOPLE fiddle while Rome burns and were too lazy and indifferent to vote them out of office!
