Politicians ride waves or at least help to shape them and fear is one of the items in their tool chest.
Fear of the other is such a powerful tool. Advertisers know that. I was not surprised with the BREXIT (the UK vote lo leave). I have heard that human civilizations go in cycles, like the whole planet itself. There is something of a strange kind of energy that is accumulating recently and that started with the Arab springs, certain equivalent movements in China and Europe, namely in Spain that is going to face elections this weekend. These spontaneous movements are the bedrock of a new breed of political parties in Europe. In Greece and in the city of Rome they won the majority. Alas, this energy also reveals itself in non-constructive modes. The riots prior and during the UEFA cup games are also an evidence of this energy in latency. Who knows this is also what happened in England? The manifestation of a societal energy that is mad at something. A will that resists the rain in polling day. A will so in-depth that the day of vote some realize they have lied to themselves during the opinion polls. On the TV news I remember this British guy from the public saying: "in my heart, I will say leave but with my head, I must vote to stay." The heart took control and bingo - a huge stone was thrown in the pond. I also would have voted to leave. The EU pond is murky. We see waves of refugees and children dying in the see - WAIT A MINUTE did I said children are dying in the mediterranean sea? In spite of the honorable intentions of their founding fathers the EU remains a private club of nations whose political representatives selfishly seek to please their own constituencies. I suspect the US history can teach our EU politicians how to build a united land. US is the land where OST emerged in recent years and that is part of the same strange energy Are we going to close the cycle and get back towards where we started as a single global tribe 50.000 years ago? I see the BREXIT has an opportunity for that. The EU needs reinvention. Keep calm and carry on.

The vote wasn’t about the eu but was caused by persistent inequality and generated fear of the other by a ruling elite that should have known better. The Uk will ultimately be ok ish The fear will start if the rest of the EU folds as a result.

You may have noticed a certain shaking in the World Order. It registered 611.21 on the Dow Jones. That’s a negative 611.21. Essentially wiped out all gains for the year. Money is only what you think it is and … suddenly… pooof! IT wasn’t !!! One of the “trending stories” on the New York Times was about Brits Googling to find out what they had done to themselves. Marvelous. It doesn’t seem to be “trending” anymore or I would send it to you. But such things do come and go. Of course there has been a massive cast of characters, casting stones at everybody else. Idiots! …along with a smaller set who are sure they know exactly what to do, how to do it, and who should be in charge. Themselves, of course. Definitely interesting times. Might be something worth talking about? This is called opening space, seeing who shows up, and knowing that whoever cares will be precisely the right people for the conversation. Of course we didn’t do a lot of “pre-work.” Who knew the Brits were going to be a crazy as they were/are? – or are they? And no matter… Serious stuff never happens on schedule, according to plan… when we are all prepared… And to quote a great saint (Brian)….
