HUMANITAS MAXIMUS ARTICLES

You should read the fine print which follows first...

*Note to my Readers About Viewing Posts: This blog is formatted in such a manner as to cut off certain of the larger graphics that appear in the postings -- especially when those postings have been excerpted from wider-screen or higher-resolution media. Please be patient with me while I work within Google's somewhat stifling Blogger framework. If some graphics are cut off, you might just left-click on them to see if you can get an original source screen with the full graphic shown -- regrettably, this only works some of the time. In the event that any of the wording is cut off, you might change your screen magnification down from 100% to 75%. But don't worry -- the copy very seldom gets cut off. In some cases, if the article has been re-posted from another source (and you sadly can almost never tell you might try clicking on the article title, to get redirected to the original source posting, which will generally be full-sized and easy to read. No matter what...Please don't run out to the local drugstore in the rain and buy some of those overpriced non-prescription "reading glasses" that will make you look like either 1) a Senator in a subcommittee proceeding, or like 2) a substitute teacher from the early 1060's.

And now, intrepid explorers...TO INFINITY! AND BEYOND!

A Government By And For The People - Something Truly Revolutionary In The Volatile Middle East.

This article is a newly re-titled reprint of an earlier article which I sincerely believe is worth posting again. This is something frightening, but potentially wonderful. This is about social media, repressive governments, mass movement, and about an unforeseen and under-appreciated tipping point (with compliments to author Malcolm Gladwell) in the oxymoronic "War On Terror."

Most importantly, though, this article is about what can be achieved when people unite and rise up together, peacefully, toward a righteous objective.

There is a lesson here that I wish I knew how to articulate. I have tried my very best. -DC




ANTI-RADICAL, ANTI-VIOLENT SHIFT IN THE VOLATILE MIDDLE EAST - TRULY REVOLUTIONARY.

A combination of factors, not the least of which is the rapid international adoption of internet and social media technologies, has led to an historically unprecedented upheaval of the civilian populations of Middle Eastern and North African nations against their established leadership.


This movement is not only significant in its implications for the future of the entire region, but it is crucially significant in the way that these protest movements are being led by the public-at-large in each of these nations, and not by military or clerical groups.


Further, these protests, for the most part, have been extraordinarily free of violence on the part of the protesters. The movements within each of the affected countries are massive in size, and are being championed by crowds of unarmed civilians wielding banners and signs bearing anti-government slogans and messages. While the governments of some of these nations have used police and military force against the protesters in order to quash their growing impetus, the protesters are growing in number, in collective voice, and acts of weaponless defiance.


May these protesters win their freedom from oppressive, entrenched regimes – and may they win with minimal bloodshed and casualties among their numbers. There are many in this world who might learn by their stunning example of the power of numbers, and of the potential for non-radicalized change…a change to government by and for the People.


As an American citizen (as well as an Internationalist), I am greatly encouraged to see some of the signs of awakening democracy. I am nostalgic, if not more than a little wistful, as well.

As Regimes Fall in Arab World, Al Qaeda Sees History Fly By

By SCOTT SHANE
The powerful protests spreading across the Middle East and North Africa have shunned the two central tenets of Al Qaeda's credo: murderous violence and religious fanaticism.
