Permanent Global War

Do you know Ogoni?  Ken Saro-Wiwa came into my conciousness in about 1994 when both Amnesty International and Greenpeace published action alerts about his situation in Nigeria. This was the first time I’d ever seen the same name from both organizations.  Sara-Wiwa stood up to Shell Oil’s degredation of the Ogoni lands and their support of a brutal Nigerian government.  That government executed Saro-Wiwa and 8 of his fellows.  I help his nephew Charles with http://nuos-ogoni.org.  Here’s a post linking this story from Nigeria with the larger global war.

Nigeria mapThe problem with dynamically unstable systems, like our current global social and economic environment, is that once they lock into a feedback loop they are almost impossible to control. As quickly as you move to dampen one problem others emerge. Eventually, these problems multiply, overwhelming the controller’s ability to mitigate their impact and the entire system fragments.
