Each month, global political risk research and consulting firm Eurasia Group publishes its Global Political Risk Index, an index of stability ratings for 24 emerging market countries.
For those who've been paying attention, it should be no surprise to see which nations fare worst in the latest GPRI survey, based on various political, social, economic and security factors.
With the geopolitical temperature heating up as U.S. influence continues to wane, I reckon that most, if not all, of those at the bottom of the list will be at the center of some sort of upheaval or conflict in the immediate years ahead.



education. education. education, of the masses.
The American Enterprise System is completely tapped out. It has gone from a promise of freedom to a guarantor of corruption. The global economy is devolving back to the 70s, where production was replaced with finance, which led global populations to the financial cliff you see before you.
The abutment, the history distillation provided by bloggers, is sufficiently complete to locate the trestle, an effective public education system. To reach the next economic orbit, public education must improve by an order of magnitude.
The weight of that $500 Trillion in global unfundable liabilities hanging over the cliff is now going to pull directly on the bonds holding the current education establishment together. The collapse will automatically induce increased design participation.
Once the trestle starts to take form, the pier builders, open and transparent job certification designers, need to begin installing the components required to build self-sustaining communities, capable of creating a surplus.
You might want to take a look at Credit As A Public Utility by Richard C. Cook over at Global Research.
The roadway builders will need a tie-in. Money is nothing more than a communication tool. The Internet was implemented as a global public utility communication PROTOTYPE, a bridge to democracy.
Fully consider the universe as a communication circuit, generating increasingly diverse sub-circuits, splitting and reconfiguring the signal.
Capital, mass, is energy in the form of clay. Current is released by the suprastructure when you refashion it into a bridge to somewhere, from a bridge to nowhere. Capital as an end product automatically shorts its own gate switch, causing the capacitor to bleed out across the load, because humanity is just one of many inductors available to the suprastructure.
We have not begun to tap the energy made available by the universe. Resonant growth is a function of balance, not competition. Top down, command and control, divide and conquer structures build non-performing assets and associated infinite resistance to regulate demographic acceleration.
The evolutionary demand is increasing diversity of all life forms, and the pathway is capital diversity, the corral reef. Now that human activity has swamped planetary evolution, the planet itself is responding to big business and big government. Focus on turning your own non-performing assets into performing assets accordingly.
Public education is the big gate switch. If the trestle is not built out quickly enough, the old gate switch will short due to the excessive load, the current will be cut, the load will fall with all those attached to it, and the kickback will topple Goliath.
In any case, you want to be working on that trestle.

The teaching profession is a gender exclusive organization, specifically fed by the graduate programs with the poorest performing college graduates, and protected by a thick wall of highly paid political operatives. I wouldn’t expect the required internal reorganization over the next 6 months. Lots of talk, but no action from the politicians is all. Nor would I expect the bankrupt retiring generation to throw the rascals out in November. A path of induction to smooth the way is required, but the trestle is already behind schedule. Hope for the best, but prepare for it to get ugly.
The opportunity cost of government is vertical.
