About

MichaelMaranda.net

I'm deeply interested in the connections between media reform, social justice and environmentalism.

I've been working for the movement with no name for many years, and am glad to be among friends here.

 

I am interested in any dialogue and progress we can make towards public data models for the information we are each gathering so that we can establish meaningful use cases for API exchange of the data.

 

I participated in the Open Sustainability Network unconference in San Francisco -Fall 08 - an idea of great merit.   I am hoping the dialogue can extend beyond the conference and continue through the space of GlobalSwadeshi.net where we were warmly welcomed. 

 

The meme of thrivability will let us transcend the potentially narrow confines of sustainability, as important as the underlying intention is in the sustainability movement.

Hello Michael,

 

Thanks for the invitation to visit you. I used to travel regularly to Chicago on consulting gigs when I worked in the corporate world for Oracle. However, it is unlikely that I will travel there again. My appetite for travel takes me mostly out of the country now.

 

I read the blog at wrythings. Did you write that?

 

Have you thought about giving a little more information about your background on WE so people like myself can get a better feel for things you've studied and your other interests/past times.

 

You appear to have some high level training in systems analysis. Can you give me some more hints. Are you perhaps a programmer?

 

My take on the substance of the blog and your WE profile information is that you may find many of the videos on my profile page most enlightening, especially the Ring of Power and Zeitgeist Addendum videos.

 

Re change, we are on our own. Their will be no policy forthcoming from academia nor government that will impact the subjects dear your heart. These are totally controlled by elements of the dark agenda. William Casey himself is quoted as saying the media has been controlled by the CIA since the early 50's.

 

I have read many exchanges on WE about media and social justice. From where I sit having done significant research into the on and off planet parts of the matrix play, these people are too deep in the mud of mind control to navigate effectively. One cannot propose elegant or impactful solutions to the significant problems facing us in darkness about their condtion. We cannot have social justice without ecomomic justice and we cannot have economic justice spending the script of the central bankers because we are being harvested energetically through our labor by that system. Again, see bullet two on my profile.

 

I have a saying about the mostly successful mind control subjects on planet earth that goes like this:

 

If most people had the same familiarity with their body as they do their condition in the matrix, they couldn't find their ass.

 

So, one can either "thrash in the matrix" looking for solutions from the very institutions that have sponsored our government educations and financial enslavement, or we can stop giving our energy to the beast and turn them to creating the alternative.

 

 

Regards,

 

Michael D. Alexander
