Everything
Bloggers Could Rule
Citizen-Centered Governance--Cell phone as point of sale decision help
Take-Aways
• Civil Affairs is focal point outside the wire.– Spies need support, do not share well.
• Bloggers, not informants, are key.– This is about initiative, not control.
• Bottom-up horizontal connection is key.– Sharing at all levels, not top down control.
• Proof is in the doing, not the talking.– Enough on wanting tranformation. Be.
Four Reforms in Need of OPENEnd Fraud,Wage Peace,Educate All
OSINT is 80To 95% of theAnswer
Transpartisan Reality-Based Budget
Demand Reform Before 2008; Home Rule Also
Ron Paul?
• At a delicate point• Restore Constitution yes!MISSING from his deal• Transpartisanship• Electoral Reform• Sunshine Cabinet• Balanced budget• Call for impeachment &
indictment of Cheney, indictment of Rumsfeld, Gulliani, and Silverstein
The Earth Intelligence NetworkTransparency Rules!
This could be the process that creates sustainable peace and prosperity while nurturing the five billion at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP), the four trillion a year marketplace addressed by C. K. Prahalad.
Open Source Software I of III
• Not free of cost, but free to be improved.
• If F/OSS communist, then Microsoft fascist.
• Challenge to Microsoft: stable and transparent APIs, dump VISTA, start over on OSS base

CISCO AON: Intelligent Network Enables Applications At All Points
Open Office is great, it would be greater if it did all this.
Note to CISCO:Buy Sun Now
Before Google Does
OSS II
Truly Exciting OS SW IIIETL: Extract, Transform, Load
• ETL allows applications to take data from outside sources, turn it into something usable and then make it available for loading in a database or business intelligence application.
Steele to Gates:BLOG THIS!
Hint: Amazon+CISCO AON+Sun +STRONG ANGEL+IBM.
Google? Out of fantasy cash. No more clogged proprietary code.
Are you in or out?
Open Source HardwareSubset of Sustainable Recyclable Design
• Kofi Annan gets it.• Infinite wealth to
stabilize earth demands open source everything
• Includes logic design• Top priority is
reducing toxicity while increasing re-use.
• Reject ugly/old code and proprietary code.

• Assigned frequencies are dead, dead, dead
• Smart sending rules• Permissions system

• See the FAQ, Jock Gill taught me on this.
Open Money I
Current monetary system based on scarcity & control, and creates waste
• Proprietary• Expensive• Feudal• Occult• Enslaving• Unsustainable
Open money is the global infrastructure for the emergent parallel monetary system.
• Sufficient• Supports public good• Democratic • Open source• Free• Sustainable
Michael Linton
Jean-Francois Noubel
Open Money is money that must be earned to be respected.
Open Money IIBlogger Key Words
• Virtual money• LETSystems• Open money• Open society• Community currencies• Open source• Collaboration
• Open money manifesto• right of monetary
creation – sovereign and universal
Open Money III
http:openmoney.info/sophia/index.html- Eric Harris-Braun
Open money can reflect both tangible asets and intangible values.
Open money can be controlled by the local community to meet its needs.
Open Money IV
Open Money, the coming of free/open source currencies, millions of them, that will sweep out the monopoly and pathology of the current system
Open Money is a necessary condition for all the other opens and especially those I discuss today.
Open Money is going to happen within the next 2-5 years, no matter what. With more conventional money investment, it will happen sooner and better.
Open Money is our passion—TheTransitioner is on the job.Jean-Francois Noubel
Open Culture & Content• Opposite of cults
including all extremist religions & gangs
• Combines YIN Circle (the process of collaboration) and YANG pyramid (the structure of shared knowledge)
• Death to trolls• Creative Commons
Open Networks
I created this in the 1990’s.
A smart guy named Spivak created this in 2004.
One day I’d like to have a group discuss this in detail and create some kind of map on where we need to put funding to accelerate this. If it exists, please point me to it.
Open Society• Popper, by contrast, held that
social affairs are unpredictable, and argued vehemently against social engineering.
• He sought to shift the focus of political philosophy away from questions about who ought to rule toward questions about how to minimize the damage done by the powerful.
• The book was an immediate sensation and has remained a landmark on the left and right alike for its defense of freedom and the spirit of critical inquiry.
• Civil liberties are fundamental.
• In open societies, government is responsive and tolerant, and political mechanisms are transparent and flexible. The state keeps no secrets from itself in the public sense; it is a non-authoritarian society in which all are trusted with the knowledge of all. Political freedoms and human rights are the foundation of an open society.
• A Republic, if you can keep it.
• All Members of Congress failed us and are impeachable.
Open GovernmentThe Ultimate: Constant Participatory Democracy
• Time for a Constitutional Convention• Time to destroy the two corrupt parties• Time to adopt Transpartisanship• Time to demand Open Budgets Online• Time to Restore We the People as sovereign• No prisoners! This is non-negotiable! BLOG!
Other Opens of Note w/o BordersOpen Everything Means Just That

Global Threats to Local Survival
*State of the World Atlas (1997), ** Marq de Villier (Water), John Heidenrich and Greg Stanton (Genocide), Michael Klare et al (Resources), all others from PIOOM Map 2002

Ten High-Level Threats
• Poverty• Infectious Disease• Environmental
Degradation• Inter-State Conflict• Civil War
• Genocide• Other Atrocities• Proliferation• Terrorism• Transnational Crime
LtGen Dr. Brent Scowcroft and other members of the High-Level Threat Panel of the United Nations have published A More Secure World: Our Shared Responsibility, find it at http://www.un.org/secureworld/.
Twelve Vital Policy Domains
• Agriculture• Communication• Diplomacy• Economy• Education• Energy
• Family• Health• Justice• Security• Society• Water
I culled these from the varied Mandate for Change books with chapters from the wanna-be Cabinet candidates of each party. These are the core domains.
Economy includes Debt. Society Includes Civic Duty as well as Immigration.
Ten State-Based Challenges
I chose these on the basis of their demographic numbers and strategic relevance to determining whether or not we can sustain the Earth’s ecology. Africa is the Wild Card. The 900M “most powerless” whom we have looted and victimized since time immemorial is the moral and economic challenge of our time.

7th Generation
What Do We Need to Know
Easy: Where is the army?
Easy: Where are the trenches?
Moderate: How many with what?
Hard: Watch every non-state actor.
Hard: Watch everything on the fly.
Hard: Make sense of billions of bits.
Very Hard: 24/7, 33+ languages, 150 dialects & plot it on map (automated).
Four Levels of MindWar• STRATEGIC: Educate ourselves & poor so the latter can
create stabilizing infinite wealth
• OPERATIONAL: Understand perceptions, especially cultural, tribal, ethnic, historical, gender
• TECHNICAL: Buy right stuff at right time and no waste
• TACTICAL: One man, one bullet on the dark side, wage peace everywhere else without creating black markets
Your government is operating on 2% of the relevant information.
The gap between people with power and those with knowledge is huge.
We have zero appreciation for history, culture, ethnicity, or non-Western values.
We don’t speak 33 languages, only 7 and only a few of us, and no dialects at all.
War and Peace in the Digital Era
• Command inherent in intent, not direction
• Education determines detection & resilience
• Close all bases, have virtual/stealth eyes on
• Global grid can not be controlled, only helped
• Brainpower instead of Firepower
• Open Source Agency • $3B/Year at FOC• $1.5B/year for global
networks focusing on 150 key topics ($10M each/year)
• $1.5B/year for 50 community information sharing networks, 114, 119, www.telelanguage.com
• EarthGame *is* reality, everyone plays themselves
We were here in 2006…
9-11 & Katrina, then multiple policy failures
Here in 2007!
US public scared back into reading and thinking; 75K amputees, GAO declares USA insolvent, 27 secessionist movements, “home rule” up, and corporate personality down.

Hackers & Bloggers Rule!To understand the role of reputation in the open-source culture, it is helpful to move from history further into anthropology and economics, and examine the difference between exchange cultures and gift cultures.”
"Abundance makes command relationships difficult to sustain and exchange relationships an almost pointless game. In gift cultures, social status is determined not by what you control but by what you give away."
