With the following headlines of the "New Normal", "America's Decline", and the speculated ad showing "Americans working for China by 2030", the comment posted on Renaissance2's blog seems to hit the nail on the head ; especially so, as it clarifies the misconceptions some people think are the causes of America's decline: i.e.; "roosters, rabbits, Jane Fonda, illegal aliens, Democrats, Republicans..."(reprinted with permission http://r2meshwork.ning.com/profiles/blogs/what-will-it-take-to-convert )
Comment to Four Years.Go "Converting diverse streams of the global movement into a mighty river":
I agree, "to first establish the beginnings of a balanced social perspective that recognizes a broader set of values” – but I add, ‘with the integration of simple, common sense, yet advanced science as common ground, rather than opinions and beliefs’.

Fortunately, the fathomless beauty of Nature the late Bucky Fuller points us toward, does not have a ‘catch 22’ playground between ‘chicken or the egg’, ‘science or big, ill designed, corporate, big brother, masters’. Like heads or tails, not to be denied, but seen from a viewing point rather than a point of view.
Understanding prevents this type of pseudo dichotomy as revealed by StarSteps, with scientific validation of the age old philosophies surmised by Walter Russell and Judge Thomas Troward, merging physics and metaphysics (Plato’s suggestion); Understanding the radius of curvature, symbolized by our ancestors with the circle & sine wave, un-hides the hidden variables, removes the foundational problems described in The Trouble With Physics, and as previously stated, leads toward self recognition of very advanced and practical solutions to contemporary “issues” on the tripod of reality - physical, mental/social, and the vague spiritual dimension revealed by the ‘zero point’ of no time, no space, also found in the realm of advanced martial arts and meditation.
This type of common sense/common ground of Understanding replaces unsupported beliefs, and opinions no longer valid, and would not tolerate the applied concept John Taylor Gotto, New York’s Teacher of the Year wrote about in "Dumbing Us Down".
This type of common sense/common ground of Understanding would not tolerate The Brookings Report’s false statement: Withholding of certain information from the public is necessary to prevent 'social disintegration' – while, in actuality, relinquishing suppression of certain simple, scientific, fundamentals connecting quantum and relativity, threaten governments and multinational corporations, an erosion of the power structure.
This type of common sense/common ground of Understanding would not tolerate, year after year, listening to our wonderful news helicopters tell us how stuck we are on the continuously deteriorating American freedom highway parking lots.
This type of common, self recognition Reality Ground, would, in a democracy, have everyone demanding and getting a Corporate redesign to mandate and serve Life Foremost, not Profit Foremost. (a lot more profit comes from serving life and the exploding population, a point Al Capone, Nero and Hitler would disagree with)
Industrial & Organizational Psychology would be brought back to the sustainability side to support the studies of IISD, Ralph Nader, Natural Capitalism, and dethrone The Divine Right of Capitalism (a corporate design uprooting our constitution) http://www.fuel2000.net/divineright.swf .
This will never happen without individual, followed by group self recognition of a larger grasp of the Infinite Wonder and Possibilities the grand design of Reality offers, grounded in a common sense and advanced Science of Understanding, our extended sensory tool, our strongest Ally by far.
Obama in Asia Bumps into the New World Order
Juan Cole: Meeting American Decline Face to Face in an Ascendant Asia

Unsurprisingly, beneath the pomp and splendor of Obama’s journey through Asia has lurked a far tawdrier vision -- of a much weakened president presiding over a much weakened superpower, both looking somewhat desperately for succor abroad. If the United States is to remain a global power, it is important that Washington offer something to the world besides arms and soldiers.
Obama has been on the money when he’s promoted green-energy technology as a key field where the United States could make its mark (and possibly its fortune) globally. Unfortunately, as elsewhere, here too the United States is falling behind, and a Republican House as well as a bevy of new Republican governors and state legislatures are highly unlikely to effectively promote the greening of American technology.
In the end, Obama’s trip has proven a less than effective symbolic transition from George W. Bush’s muscular unilateralism to a new American-led multilateralism in Asia. Rather, at each stop, Obama has bumped up against the limits of American economic and diplomatic clout in the new Asian world order.
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney thought in terms of expanding American conventional military weapons stockpiles and bases, occupying countries when necessary, and so ensuring that the U.S. would dominate key planetary resources for decades to come. Their worldview, however, was mired in mid-twentieth-century power politics.
If they thought they were placing a marker down on another American century, they were actually gambling away the very houses we live in and reducing us to a debtor nation struggling to retain its once commanding superiority in the world economy. In the meantime, the multi-millionaires and billionaires created by neoliberal policies and tax cuts in the West will be as happy to invest in (and perhaps live in) Asia as in the United States.
