He speaks of his own experiences working with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and how enriching the lives of others is the most rewarding work mankind can engage in.
Marshall Rosenberg is so very cool.

The interview talk about how the society was hijacked and changed after her death. We talk about Annie Bessant, Alice Bailey, Rudolf Steiner, Krishnamurti and Edward Bulwer Lytton. We also talk about the infiltration of other Secret Societies and some of the strategies behind the Bavarian Illuminati. Towards the end we talk about the diversity that one can encounter when researching everything from philosophy to conspiracy. I also pose the question if modern truth movements like the “9/11 truth movement” also is in danger of being infiltrated by agents provocateur, or has that already happened?

VAN DAMME’S FIGHT RECORD:
18 Knock Outs 1 Loss
* 1976 at age 16 Van Damme (Van Varenberg) won by knockout over T. Van Oostrum in 46 seconds in a full-contact debut sanction by the European Karate Union in Brussels. Van Damme then threw himself with earnest into his karate training.
* 1977 Van Damme competed in the Netherlands Kickboxing Federation which allowed round kicks to inside and outside of the thigh as well as knee strikes to the body. (Ouch). Matches were five three-minute rounds. Van Damme won TKO over Maurice Devos in first round.
* 1978 The 18-year old Jean-Claude was now a truly skilled fighter scoring an 18-second KO over E. Strauss, a 39-second stoppage when M. Juvillier quit the fight and a 12-second stoppage of O. Lang all at the EKU tournament in Antwerp, Belgium the Beginner Division.
In follow-up tournament in Iseghem, Belgium under World-All Styles Karate Organization (WAKO) he won his second Beginner’s Championship with a first round stoppage over E. Leibman and Cyrrille Nollet. Van Damme also scored victories over Andre Robaeys, Jacques Pinarski, and Rolf Risberg. Rules permitting judo throws, footsweep but not thigh kicks.
* 1979 Jean-Claude Van Varenberg (Van Damme) went to Orlando, Florida USA with his 10-knockout wins and no loss to compete in the WAKO World Full-Contact Championships. In his middleweight division he met the unbeaten American fighter Sherman Bergman from Miami, Florida USA in a scheduled two 2-minute rounds. Bergman knocked Van Damme down in opening seconds — but Van Damme pulled himself up and knocked out Bergman with a beautiful axe-kick ( ). Next Van Damme stopped Portugal’s Gilberto Diaz in opening 30-seconds. Elated, the 19 year old skipped training seriously for the semi-finals losing a 2-round decision to Patrick Teugels also from his home country, Belgium; Teugels became the Worlds Vice Champion.
Returning to Europe with a fierce determination known to highly competitive young males, Van Damme knocked out Algeria’s Mustapha A. Benamon and Bekim M. Muhammad in independent events by European Professional Karate Association.
* 1980 Van Damme’s hometown, Brussels, Belgium hosted the renowned
Professional Karate Association (PKA) event where Van Damme as a young 19 year old teenager knocked out France’s highly respected Georges Verlugels in 2 rounds winning the “Professional” European Middleweight Kickboxing Championship.
Weeks later Van Damme in an event sponsored by the European Professional Karate Association, retain his Professional Kickboxing Championship with a stoppage over Hungarian, Andras Kovac.
Van Damme enjoyed run-away popularity at his achievement when defeating older, more experience fighters at just 19.
But before retiring Van Damme requested a rematch with Patrick Teugels who was rated second in the world middleweight division and the only one to have defeated Van Damme. The rematch held in Brussels was scheduled for five 2-minute rounds. Van Damme stormed Teugels with an avalanche of aggressive fury completely overwhelming his opponent; the match was halted in under the two minute mark. Van Damme in a frenzy avenged his only loss and holds a 18 to 1 victory record!

See the link to the chart for the results of trade with Mexico. The year NAFTA was ratified, America had a $1 billion trade surplus with Mexico. By 1995, America had a $16 billion trade deficit with Mexico. Today, America’s trade deficit with Mexico is $74 billion. The facts in the chart make President Clinton, Vice President Gore and all the newspaper editors who wrote editorials supporting NAFTA look like complete idiots or worse. Ross Perot was absolutely right even though he was not effective in the debate. Again, no matter what your views are on NAFTA, the chart (link below) speaks for itself.
Also, this video is significant because it documents how NAFTA was sold to America by its elected leaders. In hindsight, some of the most ridiculous statements I heard from the debate was from Vice President Al Gore:
1) “They [GM] have started to move jobs back from Mexico to the United States.”
2) “If he [Ross Perot] is right, then you give six months notice and you’re out of it [NAFTA].”
Lessons learned: Any time your government tries to sell you on a free trade deal with another country that has disparate living and environmental standards, don’t believe it. President Bill Clinton also made similar claims about free trade with Communist China when he signed a free trade agreement with that country in 1999. Today, the US has lost countless jobs to Communist China and suffers a staggering and unsustainable $250 billion annual trade deficit with that country.

Across the globe, many learning organizations view themselves as overhead or manage themselves against a set of metrics that are about volume and activity levels. Ed Trolley, author of Running Learning like a Business, recognized that businesses were having trouble interacting with training organizations because the language, behaviors and measures of success were drastically different. His proposed solution is simple: run training like any other business.
The foundations of his solution are effectiveness and efficiency. An effective training organization will get more than a dollar back for every dollar they spend, adding value to the business. An efficient training organization will operate at acceptable, not lowest, cost.
In the value chain of training activities, many companies mistakenly focus on the activities that add little value to the larger organization. This does not mean that you stop doing low value-added activities because there are many important functions that don’t add value. However, if you were to plot these different functions on a graph it would look like a camel’s hump. This ‘camel chart’ can reveal the high value activities that should receive more resources than the low value-added activities.
