Making new communities
Making a new world is not easy. In my opinion we need to start small and work our way up. So I want to make new small communities along side our current society that promote our believes in how the world should be run.If you want to help out planning these new communities please join this group and join discusions. I will divide the discusions based on country so we can see if we still miss places to start up a new community.See More

Stu Phillips replied to Cubata Collective's discussion What is the occupy movement in relation to political parties?
"It is not important for people to be conneced to the web, to stay up with the issues of the day. Sites run by the BBC for example are set up for people to interact via their TV. As for voting, just about everyone in the country has a mobile phone to…"
Stu Phillips commented on Barb Dwyer's blog post An Open Plea To The Dalai Lama... I send A Voice -
"Our strength is the unique way we each find our path.
Take heart from the brother or sister next to you, for they need your love and support too.
I feel sure that our brother, would love to join us, but is constrained by political considerations."

"As we are a movement and not a party, we encompass all parties and faiths. The reason those parties you mentioned failed, was because they sought to use the power of the office, to effect change.
What makes us different is our abhorrence of power.…"

Occupy Media Survey said… My name is TJ, and I am working with a team on a research project titled "Occupy Media Survey!" at Uppsala University in Sweden. The leading professor on the project, Christian Fuchs is also the chair of the European Sociological Association's Research Network for Communications and Media Research.
The project attempts to answer some of the following questions: What is the role of social media like Occupii, Facebook and Twitter in occupations and protests? Was the Arab spring a "Twitter and Facebook" revolution? How does the Occupy movement use social media? Is it a social media movement or something different?
Therefore we are conducting the OccupyMedia! Survey. We invite some users of Occupii to participate in it, and would be extremely happy if you could take 15 minutes time in order to help us find out what role social media play in contemporary protests:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WG7JRG2
If you have any more questions about the survey, please contact us. If you do not find time to participate, then please simply ignore our request and excuse any inconvenience. Thanks a lot!
Further information about social media research and the background of this survey can be found in this article:
http://occupynewsnetwork.co.uk/why-social-media-research-matters-for-occupy/
If you find this survey to be useful, then it would be great if you can also tell others about it.
Best, TJ with Occupy Media Survey

Where to begin…first - I apologize for this being so LONG everyone knows I hate wordy drawn out blogs so ... karma? Who knows.

The Importance Of Reverse Phone Lookup.
Posted by Valentin Stokes on May 3, 2013 at 13:27 0 Comments 0 Likes
The first three digits of the phone number would also help them locate the owner of the phone number. The thing is that if they had just run a phone number lookup, they could have found each other! Before you get any ideas, let me tell you that these sites are perfectly legal and also offer their services free of cost. This happens to many different people all over the world and many of them don't know how they can identify these pranksters. It's extremely… Continue
We are supposed to be in this together!

I was just endiing a campaign in Michigan against our Governor, and wondered what more was out there, what more can I do to help make my country the place I used to love, when I stumbled across a thing called Livestream, where people with the same purpose (supposedly) or like mindness could come together, chat, discuss, plan, and act and I was to say the least, excited. I started chatting and made so many friends and it was then I realized, that I had been wrapped up in my own small…
