Open Space Technology also known as OST "is an approach for hosting meetings, conferences, corporate-style retreats, and community summit events, focused on a specific and important purpose or task—but beginning without any formal agenda, beyond the overall purpose or theme." Arab Spring
What is happening right now. October 2011. A global uprising is taking place. It's like dominoes that are falling. It started with the instigated "Arab Spring" which in Egypt I think was real. That was the people standing up in their millions and saying no to a government. Wow what a profound statement from a whole society. Stand like an Egyptian has taken on a whole new meaning. In Libya the "Arab Spring" is all about destroying the oil demand from Libya and seizing control of the oil. Peak oil is real Ladies and Gentlemen. NATO is being used to fight a geopolitical fight to the death over the last scraps of hydrocarbon reserves. American FallOccupy New York. It's real and it's happening. Why was it called the Arab spring? Because it happened this year in the spring and affected many Arab countries. Why is it called the American Fall? Because it is happening this year in the fall. This is real. This is the American people standing up and saying No to their government. You can tell they are well fluoridated and maybe it is a good idea to keep Americans well fluoridated because they are armed to the teeth and so far have demonstrated incredible restraint when it comes to dealing with their abusive police. The people in New York are using some innovative organizational systems. Let's hope that they publish some videos to let us know how they did it. The American Fall can lead to an American rebirth. It depends on who gains control of this spontaneous movement. The unions and "left" of America's media induced duality are trying to capitalize on the new crisis opportunity presented by thousands of people occupying cities across America. Do the people rebuff the systems of control or does this spontaneous action from Americans get corrupted? Open Space TechnologyOpen Space Technology is an idea. It's an idea on how to self organize in spontaneous groups of people. Imagine showing up at a demonstration to remind people that there are three open glowing pits of radio active slag burning in Japan and dropping radio active particles all over Canada. They used OST to organize people to come up with a plan on how to do something about it. Suddenly a bunch of concerned but otherwise isolated people exchange email addresses and phone numbers and then in the days and weeks that come the plan that was hatched comes to fruition. Law of Two Feet "If at any time you find yourself in any situation where you are neither learning nor contributing: Give greetings, use your two feet, and go do something useful. Responsibility resides with you." This is a rather profound and powerful idea from Open Space Technology. It really is up to you. If you don't see anyone doing anything, it's up to you to start something. |
