The Pentagon's Photographic Strategy in Flickr
“The U.S. is engaged in an international struggle of ideas and ideologies, which requires a more extensive, sophisticated use of communications and public diplomacy programs to gain support for U.S. policies abroad. To effectively wage this struggle, public diplomacy must be treated—along with defense, homeland security and intelligence—as a national security priority in terms of resources”.— US Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (US Department of State, 2007, p. 11)
“The battle of the narrative is a full-blown battle in the cognitive dimension of the information environment, just as traditional warfare is fought in the physical domains (air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace)….a key component of the ‘Battle of the Narrative’ is to succeed in establishing the reasons for and potential outcomes of the conflict, on terms favorable to your efforts. Upon our winning the battle of the narrative, the enemy narrative doesn’t just diminish in appeal or followership, it becomes irrelevant. The entire struggle is completely redefined in a different setting and purpose”.—US Joint Forces Command (2010, pp. xiii–xiv)

The document provides instructions for living a good life according to the Dalai Lama, including taking risks, respecting oneself and others, learning from mistakes, spending time alone, being gentle with the earth, and remembering that the best relationships are based on love rather than need. It also claims that forwarding the message to more people will improve one's life, with improvements ranging from slight to drastic depending on how many people it is shared with.

This is the presentation I showed to the Dotspotter GMs. Almost a year before Facebook Connect went live. Dotspotter would later be acquired by CBS Interactive, and transformed into TheInsider.com - which was the first site to ever launch the official Facebook Connect. I called "Social Graphing" - I think Facebook came up with a better name ;)

Henry Viii
Henry VIII was king of England from 1509 to 1547. He annulled his marriage to Catherine of Aragon after she failed to give him a male heir and had Anne Boleyn beheaded for the same reason. His third wife, Jane Seymour, gave birth to his son Prince Edward but died shortly after. Over the course of his reign, Henry married six times and had two of his wives executed in his pursuit of a male heir to the throne.
Henry Viii
Henry VIII was king of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. He annulled his marriage to Catherine of Aragon after she failed to produce a male heir, and had second wife Anne Boleyn beheaded for the same reason. His third wife, Jane Seymour, gave birth to his son Prince Edward but died shortly after. Henry married several more times, beheading Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard. He died in 1547 at age 56, leaving his son Edward to rule as king.
Us downgraded aa+
The document summarizes Standard & Poor's decision to lower the United States' long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+ due to increased political risks and rising debt burden. It cites difficulties in bridging differences between parties on fiscal policy and the resulting budget deal as falling short of stabilizing debt. The outlook on the long-term rating is listed as negative, and the rating could be lowered further if debt reduction plans are not achieved or economic conditions deteriorate.
FORCE MULTIPLIERS: The Instrumentalities of Imperialism
In the drive to accumulate ever more global power for the US state and its allies, both political and corporate, the quest for totalization confronts the challenge of “overreach”. To operate using smaller efforts to carry larger loads, US strategists have devised what they call “force multipliers”. Force multiplication is about “leverage”: using partners and proxies in an expanding network. Forces are conceptualized in multi-dimensional terms. Anything in the world of cultural systems, social relationships, and material production can become force multipliers for imperialism: food security, oil, electricity, young leaders, aid, social media, NGOs, women’s rights, schoolgirls, democratization, elections, the G8, the European Union, NATO, the IMF, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, AFRICOM, development, policing, borders, and epidemics, among others.
Foundation of the Family
This document provides an overview of the laws of Niddah in Judaism. It explains that when a woman experiences bleeding from her uterus, she becomes a Niddah and certain prohibitions apply until she immerses in a Mikvah. It outlines the process of waiting 5 days after bleeding stops, then checking for blood daily for 7 days, and immersing in the Mikvah on the evening of the 7th day to become ritually pure again. The document also discusses some exceptions and details of the laws, such as distinguishing between different types of bleeding and the prohibition on intimacy during Niddah.
The Resurgence of the Caribs, and Indigeneity, in Trinidad and Tobago
Produced in 2010, this presentation provides a concentrated overview of the political and cultural resurgence of Carib indigeneity in Trinidad and Tobago, against forces that would declare the Caribs to be "extinct".
In which ways can one speak of a “resurgence” of indigeneity in Trinidad? What does it mean to be Carib in Trinidad today? Does acknowledging a Carib presence significantly alter mainstream theories of the historical and cultural development of Caribbean societies? How have Trinidadian self-perceptions and self-representations been altered by acknowledging the Carib presence? These and related questions are addressed by Maximilian Forte in his outline and analysis of the increased recognition of the Carib presence in Trinidadian society, and the many political contradictions faced by the “Carib resurgence”. In particular, we are invited to examine the meanings and valuations of indigeneity, the multiple interests vested in erasing the theme of indigenous extinction (long prevalent), and the poisoned chalice of state support for the organized, formalized Carib Community in Arima, Trinidad. We will look at the roles of the state, the Catholic Church, the national media, and the transnational indigenous peoples’ movement in both spotlighting and circumscribing the Carib resurgence. Ultimately, the discussion will broach the question: If there is Carib resurgence, why does it matter?
