The 21st century will be the century of the common people – the century of you, of US.
We live in remarkable, transformative times. We have the library of Alexandria at our fingertips; all the recorded knowledge of the world is being digitized and made available through the Internet.
Meanwhile, our democratic models are hollow and crumbling at an alarming rate as we move further into a new era of complexity, technology and interconnectivity.
The ideologies of the old school of politics, media, monetary systems, education, corporations, and all known structures are in a state of transformation. They are crumbling. Now is the time for fundamental change on all fronts, we have to seize this moment. Because this is THE moment.
Our states are built around systems that are outdated, created in simpler times and for smaller societies. Today, those systems no longer serve the people but are simply self-serving.
The welfare state has been hollowed and is on the verge of collapse, often as a way to privatize it. We are running out of planet and our current systems are unable to do anything about it.
Most of our democracies have become like a dictatorship with 100 talking-heads on the neck of a corporate body.
Draconian ‘anti-terrorism’ laws and secrecy have somehow become the new norm. Modern democracies have become a freaky mix of Brave New World and: ... 1984.
So, do you know what our digital persona is? It is made from content and meta data.
Do you know what meta data and data retention is?
I mean do you understand it on a deep level.
Like you understand that you have a constitutional right to vote without anyone knowing who or what you voted for? Like you understand that lawyers and their clients have the right to have conversations in private? Like you understand that
what happens between you and your doctor should remain private? Like the communication between a source and a journalist should remain private?
Data retention of your meta data basically means that you are butt naked in the system,
your digital persona is for everyone who has enough power or capital to see,
mock, poke at, sell, touch, manipulate and consume.
Your digital persona has a digital shadow.
It follows you everywhere you go and unlike your normal
offline shadow it can be captured, changed, shared or sold.
If your walls are windows, would you draw the curtains when you sleep, have sex or go to the bathroom? Yes? Maybe?
In your digital house, you simply don't have that choice. Encryption and legislation are the key to pull the curtains when you choose.
We have never been as connected as we are today, as enabled to share real-time stories of success and failure. Therefore, our learning curve is steeper than ever before.
We are sharing, downloading, remixing and co-creating every day. Our digital person is expanding and our digital shadow ever growing.
We are being manipulated every day into believing we are powerless, that there is nothing that can change these systems; but I am telling you; this is a lie.
You have the power to be a catalyst for change in our world. It has always been individuals
who change our world, not some external power, but individual power for good or for evil.
Do you want others to be the power in your life, or do you want to accept the responsibility
of claiming your power and use it by being a part of co-creating your society?
This sense of social responsibility has somehow always been a part of my person, maybe because I was an outcast when I was a kid, the strange ugly duckling in my village that didn't fit in anywhere. I was lucky, I learned very early on to be my personal alchemist and transform difficulty into strength. I have accepted that I am some sort of a human guinea pig when it comes to system failure.
It was human error that led to for example suicides of my beloved father and my husband both of whom vanished into the abyss of the Icelandic landscape of water and ice. How the system dealt with it was system error.
I chose to use these crisis as a transformative tool and through the death of my father, who vanished, never to be found, on christmas eve 1987, just after I turned twenty,
I learned to value life and not only that, I learned to love myself and get off the path of self-destruction but most importantly I learned the true meaning of compassion.
When my late husband vanished a few years later, I learned the hard way how to cope in
extreme crisis, uncertainty and the fear of not knowing what will happen next.
This has served me well during crisis times, internally or externally.
I later learned that our collective systems express human behavior during times
of crisis. It is a fact that our systems are made from human values.
We made them, we can undo them.
What might seem impossible now, might be quite possible tomorrow
because we are experiencing very rapid changes on all fronts.
So I encourage you to start to make the blueprint for the future you want to live in.
Find that spark that will start a revolution in your heart.
it means change, it means evolving with love. How awesome is that?
So why do you fear change, why are we so afraid of it? Everything is changing
all the time in nature, yet we do everything in our power to make time still.
Why are you so afraid? Why are we so afraid?
Perhaps because we have made everything so complex and grand. Perhaps
it's time to return to more simple ways, more self sustainable ways.
We can do that by learning from each other, by helping each other
locally and globally and by remembering that we as individuals
can change the world. Now is the time to step forward,
take on that challenge and be the change maker.
Don’t expect others to do it, your time has arrived,
to make a difference!
I took this step a few years ago, when I was temporary unemployed,
a single parent with the simple goal of figuring out how I as an
individual could help create a sustainable future for the next generations,
in times of great uncertainty after the financial crisis.
I have admit that I have never dreamt of being a leader, a politician, a parliamentarian, a minister, let alone the role of a Prime minister. My little Pirate party is currently polling as by the far, the biggest party in Iceland. We are all very humbled and frankly quite surprised. And at times of these it is good to remind me about the circle of power, I am a big fan of the circle. I co-created the Pirate party power structure as a circle. The circle of community.
I made the following pledge to myself: while I am in service I have to remember to listen to my heart, to listen to my intuition and to be impeccable with my word. And finally I must not care at all if I loose that place of power because it was never mine in the first place.
During the Job interview with the entire nation, when running for office,
I made a promise to be the annoying mosquito in the tent, and that my friends,
is a promise I have kept. Just ask my fellow parliamentarians :)
My main political objectives and vision took shape in a grassroots think-tank I was
part of just after the financial meltdown in 2008, and during the work of the creation
of the IMMI resolution, these objectives are thankfully at the heart of the Pirate Party
core policy.
Firstly: To involve the public in reshaping Iceland’s legal framework,
through direct democracy and through co-creation of a new constitution for and
by the people of Iceland; I was aware that we needed a new foundation or like I call it,
new hardware in order to be able to make a clean system install.
Secondly: To transform Iceland into a safe haven for freedom of information, expression and transparency, with a strong focus on digital privacy as a cornerstone of direct democracy. To create cutting edge 21st century legal framework.
I guess one could say that I am some sort of a party startup person, because I have co-created two parties from nothing in the last six and a half years, with some really amazing diverse people. Both parties got voted into parliament. Once I was elected six years ago, I went inside the system, straight to the heart of it, the legislative assembly, like a legal hacker, analyzing its strengths and
weaknesses in order to find ways to improve the system.
I learned early on to follow my intuition as a poetician for it makes a lot more sense to me then the rivalry and manipulations of left or right ideology. The right and wrong ideology of the old world has simply outgrown itself. No longer do we have strong parliaments with a direct link between the general public and decision maker, perhaps we never did. We have so called professional politicians that are far removed from the reality most of us live in.
Most people have realized that left and right politics don't have any useful role anymore. The ideology of it is outdated. To create political movements based on common agenda of pressing issues of basic human rights and democratic reform is so important right now.
In order for the common people like us to co-create our society we have to have the democratic tools to do so. People need to get into parliaments to change the laws, so we all can have the power that is rightfully ours, to impact our society and apply real pressure on those in power to work for us, not the elite.
One of the aims of both the Civic Movement and the Pirate Party has been to inspire ordinary people to take on political responsibilities by stepping forward and take a leap into the unknown and of course be the mosquito in the tent and open the windows.
Looking at different models for how to humanize and modernize how we run our societies, I have come to the conclusion that there is currently no one model that fits all and there never will be one size fits all. We need to experiment and study what works for each type of society, depending on the cultural backdrop.
Technology enabling direct access to power is now become simple enough that citizens can start using it to form opinion and enforce political change in a genuine grassroots, bottom-up way.
One of the most important task ahead is to help people become aware of that if they want to live in a real democracy they need to be part of it, to engage with it. That living in a democracy is work.
It is also vital that people start a discussion among their friends and families about what sort of future they want. If we, the citizens of Earth – do not have a clear vision of where we are heading, we will get nowhere. The 1% has a clear roadmap of where they are heading, which enables them to stay ahead of the rest of us.
Some of the most amazing innovations and creativity in the history of humankind have emerged in conditions of extreme stress, such as the New Deal. As human beings we have now reached a stage where we have to evolve to the next level, or we will fail to deliver a sustainable world to the next generation. Please talk about how you would like the future to be, make a vision, share your vision with others, start with the person sitting next to you.
If you need an inspiration then I find John Lennon's ‘Imagine’ to be a good roadmap.
The poetician in me will end this with a wake up call!
I have seen signs
the end of the world
as we know it
has begun
Don't panic
it might look terrifying
on the surface
Yet inside every
human being
a choice
to be a catalyst
Earth is calling
Sky is calling
Science is calling
Creation is calling:
Wake up, wake up now
Transform your heart into
a compassion machine
Now is the time
to yield to the call of growth
to the call of action
You are the change makers
Sleepers of all ages
WAKE UP
wake up: NOW

There's literally the need to craft and use new terms that help Humans identify behind the values of accountability, sustainability and Freedom of expression, which happens to be universal, and now shared by all aware and awakened folks. An identification method is irrefutably needed for any revolution or movement, and since we the people are the system, you will need to find or use an existing term that allows for a higher metaphor. We're the system is an observation of circumstances. We're Repeacers, instead, is a new way to unite all activists as the ones in the 21st century who are for a transparent, accountable new form of direct democracy. That consciousness has to be built and shared. If I was you, or Russel Brand, that's what I would be doing. For now, I'm just an invisible "activists" (what an obsolete term) trying to be noticed, without funds or sponsors. let me show you Birgitta how I can free Bradley and Julian and get the US gov to apologize to them and the world.

I think perhaps you meant Chelsea and Julian.

The ingredients are generally of a tonic nature meaning that lots of herbs and supplements with different functions are mixed together. It is not uncommon to find B vitamins and Ginko or Yohimbe as ingredients. Many of these ingredients may in fact be part of a man's current supplement and diet schedule depending on his current level of nutrition. Products in this category often share more commonality with energy drinks such as Redline than with Penis Enlargement Supplements or Semen Volume Pills. However, this does not mean general libido enhancers can be summarily discounted.

Basically, the set point theory states that an individual's metabolism will adapt to maintain a weight in which it's comfortable. Whenever we restrict our calories so as to drop extra pounds, our rate of metabolism falls to try to preserve our fat stores. This is just the bodies/nature's tool for preventing starvation, which will never change. When we have lost the weight and we aren't cutting our calories, the metabolic process will rise back to a higher rate of function. Your body has a genetically determined set-point weight that's controlled by metabolic hormones and fat cell enzymes. 7-keto has been shown to increase the activity of those enzymes associated with the metabolism.

Many opt for the pills since they are more convenient to use. These medicines guarantee a greater chance of increasing the size of your manhood because they have vasodilatory capabilities. What this means is that the active ingredients in the pills help to allow more blood flow into the penis body which would actually result to a seemingly bigger penis. Male enhancement is not just increasing the size of your penis, but actually improving its performance as well.

The answer is yes. There are actually a lot of drugs, creams and pills that are sold as male enhancement in stores. Some people may not trust male enhancement in stores at first as they may be under the impression that it is not endorsed by pharmacies or by the FDA. They may also have doubts regarding the effectiveness of male enhancement in stores especially for those who are used to taking prescription drugs. Since they also do not have any prescription requirements, the question on side effects may not also be satisfactorily addressed in the views of certain individuals. However, male enhancement in stores may be a safer alternative than taking male enhancement drugs and may actually have lesser side effects.
