Powerful yet weak - a US dilemma

Posted by Matt in January 31st, 2007

Thinktank reports on messy ‘nonpolar’ world and urges new psychological warfare

The United States is still powerful enough to shape an agenda for international activity but too weak to implement it globally as it faces uncertain prospects in Iraq, an escalating confrontation over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and a robust challenge to its military hegemony from an increasingly assertive China, argues a new report by a leading UK thinktank.

An annual survey of the international military scene produces a picture of a messy “nonpolar” world rather than the “unipolar” or “multipolar” world often described as having emerged since the late 1980s, said John Chipman, director-general of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)
"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes. http://mediatedcultures.net This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007. I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part). Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues. Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download: Windows Media File (55 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?2wnmpy2ibz1 Quicktime File (96 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?axhbjnmw4yn Mojiti Version (for...

Mia Rose - Just Us
Hey, here's an original song of mine! I wrote it a couple of days ago! Hope you enjoy =) Mia Lyrics Sometimes in the dark of the night brings confusion you cant find the right from wrong you live for With everything changing, your feelings inside you wanna find comfort in somebody's eyes travelled through passed pain and finally what I found is That with you everything just melts away and its just us... Just us.... Sometimes when feel yourself slipping away You cant find the truth from the lie you live for With everything moving, your fears come alive you wanna find true love, in somebody's eyes wandered through hurricanes and finally what I found is That with you everything just melts away and its just us... Just us.... That with you my true love will always remain Just...

Joan Osbourne - One of Us
"One of Us" is a song written by Eric Bazilian (of The Hooters) and originally released by Joan Osborne. The song deals with various aspects of belief in God by asking questions inviting the listener to consider how they might relate to God, such as "Would you call [God's name] to his face?" or "Would you want to see [God's face] if seeing meant that you would have to believe?" The name of the song comes from the question contained in the refrain, "What if God was one of us?" Released in March 1995 on the album Relish (produced by Rick Chertoff), it hit the top 40 in November of the same year. With this song, Osborne received one of many Grammy nominations in 1995, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but failed to win. One year later Prince covered the song for his...

US Government Immorality Will Lead to Bankruptcy
The Comptroller General of the United States proclaims that our current standard of living is unsustainable unless drastic action is taken. He warns that funding shortfalls for the Medicare program is five times worse than Social Security, and it will take $8 TRILLION to pay for what is promised today to beneficiaries, of which we have ZERO! This unrealistic "promise" is fiscally irresponsible and is mortgaging the futures of our children and grandchildren. Watch as the federal government's dirty little secret is revealed!
