Because they’re the ones affected the most; they’re the ones actualizing the changes. Best to include them in the process if you want a smooth transition.
Ultimately, management has a responsibility to the business, to make decisions in the organization’s best interests. Can be kinda cold…

The ludicrous accusation that GCN and Infowars press credentials are somehow illegitimate will not stand.
On the Alex Jones Show today, Ted Anderson of GCN and Anthony Jasa of Minnesota We Are Change provided details on a campaign of harassment and intimidation by the Secret Service against Jasa and GCN. The Secret Service accused Jasa of forging press credentials, although Anderson told the Secret Service he approved Jasa’s GCN credentials. Jasa told Alex Jones the SS attempted to intimidate his fiancée and enter his residence in order to search his computers. According to Jasa and Anderson, SS agents asked if Jasa believes in 9/11 conspiracy theories, as if this is some sort of criminal behavior.
Obviously, the government is worried about the exponential growth of the 9/11 truth movement, in particular the activism of We Are Change, a nation-wide organization (also active in Britain, Ireland, and Canada) most effective in its persistent questioning of political candidates, members of Congress, and assorted government insiders and NWO minions. In order to shut down this activism, the government has dispatched its agents in addition to sending out its disinfo agents and latter day COINTELPRO operatives, more than a few tracked back to the military and CENTCOM and, if history is any indication, dispatched by the FBI and the Secret Service.
In essence, the SS told Jasa and Anderson that GCN is not a bona fide press organization — never mind it is a nationally syndicated radio network — and its issuance of press credentials amounts to an act of fraud. Only the corporate media, reading from government scripts, will be allowed to attend political events. In order to limit political discourse and muzzle the opposition, at the behest of the neocons and their neolib brethren, the SS will hound, harass, and intimidate the alternative media.
It will not work, however. Short of a total imposition of martial law, We Are Change will certainly not be deterred and will continue to attend political rallies and confront our leaders and their minions in public. The ludicrous accusation that GCN and Infowars press credentials are somehow illegitimate will not stand. It may be time to initiate a lawsuit against the Secret Service for attempting to suppress the First Amendment.

The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (precursor to the NDP), under Tommy Douglas introduced universal health care to Canada.
Stafford Beer creator of Management Cybernetics explains how the Reductionist Paradigm traps us with its language. Organizations continue to teach the same type of structure not realizing that change is everywhere and that a new model and a new way of looking at things is necessary to escape the trap.

What might happen if the need for change is not addressed?
If an organization merely reacts to change, at best they are always playing catch up, at worst they will lose market share to competitors and substitutes of who anticipated the changes and acted accordingly.
If organizations don’t change, they will ot "fit" their environment. Igor Ansoff, and old time strategist advises this fit is determined by the "gap" that you can find from your SWOT analysis.
The change process doesn’t start at a level it starts with an individual prepared to take the initiative to bring it about. In a healthy organization that is learning from experience and change is an ongoing process.
Unfortunately, because some people get too comfortable, and the organization stalls, development stops. People at all levels have an investment in the status quo, risk is discouraged and the organization stagnates until its "inhabitants" (at this point in time they are really not active members of anything) are forced to change – usually by the prospect of loosing their jobs.
With inspiration, however, everyone is more willing to take the risk something new. The inspiration appears inside as a confidence that different personal behavior can bring about different results. When someone takes that risk and the results are seen to be promising, others will follow. They can be subordinates and/or peers and/or more senior people who have been waiting for someone to take a risk and identify alternatives.
There are examples showing that the instigator can be anywhere from someone at the lowest level who demonstrates what is possible by winning back a lost customer, or demonstrating a new process, to the board room when the chair decides to bring in a new CEO.
The lesson in all this is that we cannot wait for someone else to start change because it might not happen. By waiting we are depriving the organization of our contribution and depriving ourselves of the satisfaction of knowing we have done our best. By changing, by learning, we are acknowledging we are alive and that we still believe in ourselves.
Since we don’t have a political deaf organization, we are called People with Disabilities.
There may be only ONE way to be part of the Political World is to have a Deaf Political Organization that has a largest membership and money. Without it, there is no new political definition for Deaf Community.
We must find a new leader or Deaf organization that is willing to create a new bank account for one presidential candidate. YES, LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD. YES, WE CAN CHANGE.

I noticed that Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco flourished in their rookie seasons because they have a great supporting cast in the falcons rushing game and with the baltimore defense.
With what you’ve seen in Stafford’s college performances, can he do the same without a great rushing attack and a semi good linebacker corps?
No, Ryan and Flacco were both put in good situations. Ryan had Turner to run the ball and they had a decent offensive line. Flacco played on a team that wasn’t going to allow him to cost them games, his job was to hand the ball off and let the defense do the rest.
The problem for Stafford is that the Lions aren’t very good at anything. It was a mistake naming him the starter for the 1st game, because he doesn’t give you the best opportunity to win games now. I see the Lions breaking Tampa’s record of consecutive losses (26).
Systems of human organization change drastically over time. One of the biggest proofs we have of this, is how Democracy has changed. Ancient Greek democracy, δημοκρατία, has drastically changed and its true form does not exist anywhere on earth today. Only a small fragment of the Brand of δημοκρατία the Ancients practiced is used today. This video proves that they way people organize themselves do change – Drastically – over time.
This video is in response to mujtahid2006, a video entitled
Can the future Khilafah (Caliphate) accomodate non-muslims? The original video is about 14 minutes in length, therefore my response will be broken up into a few different video responses.
Debating with Muslims is a very tricky, and intellectually challenging. Abdulla is one of the more charasmatic voices on youtube Islam, which is the only reason make videos discussing the topics he has raised. The secret to debating with muslims is to first understand how they value public orators.
In the Islamic world, a person is a good orator if they speak well, uplift their audience, make them feel good, and create what appears to be logical connections. Sometimes they will play on words or concepts, make logical connections between them without fully understanding the differences between two different concepts. We have seen Zakir Naik do this on many occasions. Abdulla debates in many respects, like Zakir Naik. The way to hand it means taking a step back, looking critically at the argument and dissect their arguments component parts. Sometimes a logcal fallacy will come at you so fast you will not have time to see it, which is why I like to take it easy when responding to Muslims, and carefully dissect each point they make, the connections between their points, and analyze any logical fallacies which they use.
Please go to the following links to verify the information I have presented in this video.

The US Coast Guard has undergone a reorganization but this was due to increase effeciency.
The Coast Guard has always had the mission of Port Security. The only thing that has changed is the increase in authority with the advent of new laws.
What we had was Captain of the Port Authority and 14 USC 89s (our main law giving us LE authority). COTPs are responsible woith the overall safety and security of a port under their control.. These Coast Guard Officers receive authority from the Commandant of the Coast Guard via District Admirals.
33 CFR 6 COTP Authority
○ Prevent damage or injury to any vessel or waterfront facility
○ Safeguard harbors, ports, territories or waters of the united states
33 CFR Part 6 authorizes the Captain of the Port to issue and enforce COTP orders establishing security zones and regarding vessel movement and operations. THE COTP has the authority to search and remove any person or article regarded as posing a risk to any vessel or waterfront facility
What is new post 9-11 is the MTSA and PWCS acts. This increases our Law Enforcement authority:
PWCS Authority
33 CFR 1226 Ports and Waterways Security Act
○ Prevent Acts of Terrorism
○ Identify Measures that the Secretary may emply
46 USC 70118 Maritime Transportation Security Act
○ 46 USC 70118 allows uniformed Coast Guard LE personnel to carry a firearm ashore.
○ While at a facility, such personnel may make an arrest without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence and seize property as otherwise provided by law.
○ Unarmed Coast Guard personnel deployed ashore are prohibited from exercising this statute.
○ Limitations:
§ Facilities adjacent to the water
§ Conducting Port Security Ops
§ Offenses clearly ties to ICG Statutory Missions
