UK Uncut Flashmob - "Tax the rich"

The strategy picks up on the UK Uncut campaign, begun when  a group at
a London pub—a firefighter, a nurse, a student, and others—came up
with an idea that is part flash mob, part sit-in. In an article
published in the Nation, reporter Johann Hari tells the story of the
group’s frustration about government cutbacks. If Vodafone, one
corporation with a huge back-tax bill, paid up, the cutbacks wouldn’t
be needed. The group spread the word over social media, and held loud,
impolite demonstrations. The idea quickly went viral, and flash
mobs/sit-ins materialized at retail outlets across Britain, shutting
many of them down.

In a time when energy depletion is starting to make itself felt people
are noticing the disparity between the rich and the rest. It would be
good to do this in the context of also understanding that we are at
the beginning of energy descent and everything is changing, but the
first stage in the cycles of grief is anger and blame, so we may have
to work through that for a while.

Social media facilitating the revolution

Youtube, Facebook and Twitter have become the new weapons of mass mobilisation; geeks have taken on dictators; bloggers are dissidents; and social networks have become rallying forces for social justice.

As people around the world challenge authorities, from Iran to Tunisia, Egypt to Yemen, entire societies are being transformed as ordinary citizens see the difference, imagine the alternative, and come together to organise for a better future.

So, are social networks triggering social revolution? And where will the next domino fall? http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/empire/2011/02/201121614532116986.html

Cradle to Cradle Festival in Germany

Heartening that this is going on - and there's no time to lose. Michael Braungart suggests at the end of this video: "The system is destroying itself so quickly, that we have to do things differently NOW, otherwise we will soon cannibalise each other."

What happens when Pacific Sun Cruise liner hits heavy seas

via tweetie.com

I bet these passengers hadn't banked on their big ship rocking and rolling like this. Judging by the way things were arranged in that bar and the lower decks, neither had the management.

Rocky seas ahead? Are we prepared?
