Leadership Strategy I write on leadership and its new challenges in the age of networks.
Still angry about Justice Kavanaugh? Or are you anxious about the latest UN climate report, warning of faster-rising oceans? Or do you fret about wrong-headed immigration laws? Or can’t we just talk about the Red Sox getting to the World Series?
No, we can’t. Read Robert Kagan’s new book, The Jungle Grows Back: America and Our Imperiled World(Knopf, 2018), and you’ll find a full-throated case for drop-everything-emergency aid for something more existential, the colorless oxygen of today’s civilization we dangerously take for granted: the liberal world order. This plain-spoken senior fellow of Brookings wants to grab you by the lapels and scream urgency in your face—because if we lose the American-guaranteed collection of laws, democratic values, economic and defense treaties that have produced seven unprecedented decades of peace and prosperity, you’ll wonder why you ever worried about anything else.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday revealed that the Justice Department would be giving Chicago law enforcement additional resources to help combat crime and also filed a brief in opposition to a proposal to reform city policing practices.
In large cities like Chicago, the duty to maintain “public safety, security and order” generally falls upon their police departments, Sessions said in a news release from the Justice Department.
“There is one government institution, and one alone, that has the ability to make Chicago safer – that is the Chicago Police Department,” Sessions said. “Our goal should be to empower it to fulfill its duties, not to restrict its proper functioning or excessively demean the entire department for the errors of a few. Make no mistake: Unjustified restrictions on proper policing and disrespect for our officers directly led to this tragic murder surge in Chicago.”

— Pastor Andrew Brunson, Christian pastor imprisoned for two years, is released from Turkey.
—President Holds MAGA Rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, this evening.
editor’s note: i know i am posting a lot about this right now – but i am trusting the Flow and it keeps bringing me back to this. i am supposed to be a part of this exposure/research. it’s happening and oh how happy i feel inside to see this particular piece of the movement expand. Joe M was not all that receptive to this concept at first – but many people (myself included) shared info/pics to help convince him – and it was seeing this “vincent fusca” tonight – again – at the rally – and esp. seeing the camera capture – is what pushed him into the space of confirmation. there are some who have felt (myself included) Joe M is the account for J. Junior – and of course he denies it (tonight brings it up again and says junior wouldn’t be on twitter spouting such theories that are wrong half the time- but i thought hey he’s going to rallies – obviously showing himself to the public – so why not have a twitter account, right?) so….. that could also be part of the cover. or not. it is an interesting “thing” to me that after this camera capture of “fusca” – Joe M is suddenly on board – maybe because this is part of the plan and he’s safe to do so? just makes me go “hmmmm…..” coming out of the shadows into the light…
remaining, as always, in the space of observing…the hopeful observer. [wp-svg-icons icon=”heart-2″ wrap=”i”]
editor’s note: go to the 1:01 mark (one minutes one second) – you will see him standing in front of the massive flag – waving 2 signs – white shirt, dark tie. as i was telling my mate – HOW many VIP spots to a Presidential Rally can one obtain? some obscure man with a Trump Mobile? (this particular video, however, does not show the camera capture. i wonder what network did that…)
editor’s note: ok i think we have a confirmation now. normally POTUS will tweet when and where he’s going to be at a rally. today he didn’t tweet he was going to TN until AFTER he had arrived. instead – it was Q who posted in 2294 today: “heading to TN now”.
editor’s note: this is going to be a very powerful, “many things uncovered” type of week. “something” happened to dr. ford in her past – and it looks as though that happening did not involve kavanaugh but someone else. CIA mind control at work to, perhaps, “convince” her it was “K”. the whole thing is just a horror show. it also appears as though POTUS giving the green light (so casually too) for the FBI investigation is doing what many have been saying since late last week – this leads the way to gain further intel on the corruption. 10/3 – anyone else wondering what will show up on our phones that day?
interesting reference to snowden and cusack (the actor john). i recently saw a pic of the two of them together and had another “dayem!” moment as i once really enjoyed his films. i came to feel the past year or two though that he was one of “them”. CIA assets – as they recently stated on their twitter page – are all throughout society. easier to spot now though, aren’t they?
just saw this – on the reference to Q speaking of wearing Q shirts to the rallies. threats are sometimes called in by the D/S actors accusing Q anon’s of being a threat in some way so they can’t enter the stadium showing their shirts. Q’s (possible) solution – two shirts. wear the Q shirt under another shirt. thanks to Joe M on twitter (his insights are quite awesome at times)…
Did John Barlow survive a murder attempt only to succumb to its lingering effects eventually?
Washington Post: Meet the man whose utopian vision for the Internet conquered, and then warped, Silicon Valley By Jacob Silverman “To understand where this cyber-libertarian ideology came from, you have to understand the influence of “A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace,” one of the strangest artifacts of the ’90s, and its singular author, John Perry Barlow.
Perhaps more than any other, it’s his philosophy — which melded countercultural utopianism, a rancher’s skepticism toward government and a futurist’s faith in the virtual world — that shaped the industry.
“A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” was an utterly serious document for a deliriously optimistic era Barlow’s 846-word text, published online in February 1996, begins with a bold rebuke of traditional sovereign powers: “Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.”
He then explains how cyberspace is a place of ultimate freedom, where conventional laws don’t apply.
Barlow suffered a near-fatal heart attack on May 27, 2015. He later reported that he was recovering.
John Perry Barlow – 187 post name [DROP] 187 = murder post = Washington Post Barlovian = name [DROP]
Q suggests John Barlow was murdered for his ability to influence through his activities in the Freedom of the Press Foundation. The Washington Post article highlights Barlow’s ability to influence wealthy technocapitalists towards his idealistic goals.
@SnowdenYou are now a liability.
Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) is a non-profit organization founded in 2012 to fund and support free speech and freedom of the press. Its mission includes “promoting and funding aggressive, public-interest journalism focused on exposing mismanagement, corruption, and law-breaking in government
If wealthy people support Barlow’s idealistic goals then they might help support the Freedom of the Press Foundation’s goals, “promoting and funding aggressive, public-interest journalism focused on exposing mismanagement, corruption, and law-breaking in government.”
Edward Snowden has moved in to the position which was vacant due to Barlow’s death.
Q is stating Edward Snowden is identified as a liability by the same individuals who caused John Barlow’s 187.
Other Unanswered Questions:
Whose crimes are threatened to be exposed by John Barlows activities?
Was John Barlow’s relationship with Dick Cheney part of the motive that led to his death?
Was the heart related death of Barlow’s girlfriend Cynthia Horner a botched first attempt to murder John Barlow?
John Barlow was engaged to Cynthia Horner, a doctor whom he met in 1993 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco while she was attending a psychiatry conference and Barlow was participating in a Steve Jobs comedy roast at a convention for the NeXT Computer. Cynthia Horner died unexpectedly in 1994 while asleep on a flight from Los Angeles to New York City, days before her 30th birthday, from a heart arrhythmia apparently caused by an undetected viral myocarditis.
Who adapted Jacob Silverman’s book for the Washington Post article?
Jacob Silverman is the author of “Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection,” from which this article is adapted.
Is the Washington Post article a HIT piece or coincidence?
