This past weekend's Schiller Institute conference pointed the way toward an escape from the devastating consequences of the end of an imperial era, with a dialogue demonstrating the potential for sovereign nation states to cooperate for the benefit of all mankind.  The Empire will not just go away quietly, though.  Instead, they are engaging in one provocation after another, with special emphasis this week on the Black Sea and Syria.  Watch the Schiller Institute conference, at the schillerinstitute.com and join us to move humanity into a new era.
