I semi-applied to the DoS and loosely mentioned you in it. Hope that's alright. Oh and I found a video on YouTube which I could probably track down about Bob Dylan playing in a prison in the 1970's. It was a news spot and the news dude was pretty cool about it and commented on how there were more press than prisoners at the performance. Press who *are* prisoners.

We are running the specifics of their programs out for them. They use artists as "shock troops" to essentially terraform cities for economic revitalization... http://www.amazon.com/Rise-Creative-Class-Transforming-Community/dp/0465024777/ PS.

"Internet high schools" and distance education at colleges. Then you have the thrust through some big businesses to pioneer ways to allow people to work at home. Read something in the LA Times recently about this in the biz section while I was in Ventura. Fit this into trends like the "100-mile diet" and the push back towards small town living among young creative intellectual trendsetters, and quasi-capitalist communes, etc (Ran Prieur meets Anthropik meets Department of Safety meets the 414 House). And then you throw in all that Technocracy (technocrazy) stuff I was uncovering last year as a new guiding organizational methodology. Plop that down with a soon-to-emerge trend of people (like me) getting paid to produce creative web content, etc and make ad and other revenue off it, and you have your entire prison economy (United States of Archonica) all wrapped up in a neat little package, culminating around artificially-induced and media-pumped up 2012 flash-points. I've been wondering: who benefits by Daniel Pinchbeck and his ilk being so famous and ubiquitous? Because otherwise they wouldn't be. It all fits together like this: we scare everybody with environmental threats which can only be combated by “reducing carbon footprints” which means that we reduce how much everyone drives to work as well as whatever collateral carbon use is associated with that kind of transitory economy: cost of maintaining roadways, infrastructure, etc.
