All of my books are free online, and on sale at Amazon. From twelve to six today and tomorrow I will be offering personally-inscribed copies of this new book, and my first book, ON INTELLIGENCE: Spies & Secrecy in an Open World, for sale at cost--$20 for each.
This is the pre-quel book with 55 authors including Yochai Benkler and Tom Atlee and the former Prime Minister of Canada, and as with all books I publish it is also available free online, this one at www.oss.net/CIB.
You can access everything I refer to—not just my own work but the work of 750 others over 22 years—via Phi Beta Iota the Public Intelligence Blog.
The short-cuts are worth a quick look.
This is what I am going to talk about very briefly, leaving time for questions. Tomorrow night I will do SPY IMPROV, it generally lasts four hours but I would be glad to go to six so I can drive home after the sun comes up.
In a nutshell, Humanity has been killed by immoral capitalism, corrupt governance, and mediocre schools. People have been commoditized, marginalized, and enslaved by a system that fragments knowledge, concentrates wealth, and destroys both the Earth and our cultures.
You can field my short piece on “Paradigms of Failure” online. The eight tribes of intelligence as I call them have all failed to adapt, failed to retain their integrity, and failed to scale—that’s three strikes and out.
These are actual depictions of the US political scene. As you might imagine, international relations and international organizations are even worse.
Public intelligence—shared information and multicultural sense-making that is not secret—is how we overcome the paradigms of failure.
In the USA we have lost touch with what is done in our name and at our expense, at the same time that our government has lost touch with reality.
CLOSED LOOPS PROTECTED BY SECRECY AND LIES are a root cause of massive unnecessary entropy.
At least 50% of what our government does in our name is both wasteful and harmful to the public interest.
Global corruption starts here in the USA, at the top. We must stop funding a corrupt government.

I have long been critical of the insanity of spending $75 billion a year on secret sources and methods that obsess on a few “enemy states” that are not actually our enemies, just co-equal powers.
I devised this slide a year ago to advance public understanding of what it means for a nation to be intelligent.
We must adopt Buckminster Fuller’s goal of creating a world that works for 100% of humanity.
This is the strategy, and while I do not believe the United Nations is in any way shape or form suitable as any kind of government, I do believe that the UN can and should become the hub of the World Brain, and help all of us access the information we need to get a grip on reality, open up everything, and devise sustainable long-term initiatives for restoring the Earth and restoring Humanity.
This chart was inspired by the UN High Level Panel on Threats, Challenge, and Reform, which identified and prioritized the ten high-level threats to humanity—I and the other 25 co-founders of the Earth Intelligence Network then came up with the twelve core policies and the eight humanities that will determine the future of Earth.
Our government, corrupted by Wall Street and the military-industrial complex, is focused on the two red squares, and ignoring everything else.
This is a view I created for the new book, that shows how everything is connected. Energy is central here, but anything else could be central as well, from Water to Corruption.
What might be good for one part of the system can be very bad for all the other parts of the system. We have a stupid stove-piped government that refuses to be honest.
As I like to say, the truth at any cost lowers all other costs. Until We the People can get the truth on the table, we will continue to be farm animals.
This slide was created by JZ Liszkiewicz who is both the Executive Director of the Earth Intelligence Network, based here in NYC, and also the creative force behind Re-Configure.
“True Cost” is a very powerful meme that will help bring down predatory immoral capitalism, and spawn a new form of social capitalism that defines profit in human and ecological terms.
Each T-Shirt comes with a very detailed one-page summary of the findings from a year of research into this one topic—we need this for everything.
Once we have true cost information available to the public, we can eliminate most of the intermediaries who exist to profit from the distance between our money paid as taxes and the theft of that money by special interests.
I developed this with Joe Trippi and several others, and am certain that we can execute Participatory Budgeting here in the USA, at all levels.
We can not only get control over all funding that is to be spent in the public interest, we can also connect the one billion rich to the five billion poor directly, eliminating intermediaries such as the Red Cross that misdirect between 50% and 90% of our contributions, while enabling micro-giving “by name.”
This is a depiction of a Global to Local Range of Gifts Table that everyone can see and interact with online.
This is a crude illustration of the power of voluntary collaborative action using only the Internet as a service of common value to all.
I am totally blown away by the brilliance of the UNICEF Rapid SMS innovation project—it is clearly righteous, affordable, scalable, and universally applicable to all manner of public information sharing and sense-making needs.
The Internet now makes it possible to orchestrate sequential contributions toward a shared end, at any level in any domain.
This slide depicts how harmonization can be achieved for a specific location, for instance, East Timor (Timore –Leste).
Up to this point all organizations have been selfish and ignorant. That can end now. Not only can we share the burden of information collection and processing and multi-disciplinary sense-making, but we can PROFIT from doing so.
Trust lowers the cost of doing business. Sharing information is a perfect means for achieving trust.
Here again, a crude depiction of how intelligent information sharing and sense-making can lower the costs and increase the profits for all, while also avoiding the costs that come with illegal timber harvesting, lower-level insurgencies that arise out of a strong feeling of being cheated by international companies, and so on.
This is just one slide I give on a brief about missing information. Washington is operating on 2% of the available relevant information, in part because ideology has destroyed intelligence in government.
As a side note, adding Forgotten Knowledge, there has been a recent public discussion of how we can no longer manufacture the Trident missile. They lost critical files for a critical component.
My new book, free online, is about creating a United Nations Open-Source Decision-Support Information Network, or UNODIN, something I believe the Nordic countries would both understand and fund.
A Multinational Decision Support Centre or MDSC would deal only in open information that can be shared, but have the huge advantage of being competent in every language with two-way reachback to every Member nation.
The Earth Rescue Network is the ultimate means for our joining together to create a prosperous world at peace.
Here is how it looks both up close as a patch.
My intent, as all this gets organized, is to enable anyone who wishes to join the Earth Rescue Circle, both to call in Peace Targets and to help move items from point of donation to point of installation.
The UNICEF Rapid SMS innovation is clearly a vital part of the solution. I commend to your attention the annual STRONG ANGEL exercise, and the TOOZL toolkit that it offers free on a flashdrive.
The essence of my vision is that the five billion poor do not have time to go to schools, but they are intelligent and they can speak and read a language, so we should give them free cell phones and connect them to free knowledge.
Not only can they be educated one cell call at a time, and consequently create infinite stabilizing wealth, but they become a global early warning network for disease, crime, environmental degradation, and so on.
I look to the major demographic powers to realize that this is the only way they will elevate their poor with the added advantage of creating stabilizing wealth.
I want to end with three quick slides on the technical architecture. This is the first one, showing how an EarthGame with EarthBudget, both fed by the Earth Intelligence Network, can drive Earth Policy at every level on every topic.
I created this in the 1990’s.
Most of the world is till in Quadrant I, while many of you are in Quadrant II. I have lived in Quadrant III since 1992, and we all need to get to Quadrant IV.
A handful of us—roughly six dedicated senior professionals, have fought the US secret intelligence community since 1988 to get this little box, the Open Source Agency, into the very small government brain.
Although shown here as co-equal to the CIA and part of the US Intelligence Community, I believe we will succeed in making it a sister agency to the Broadcasting Board of Governors, operating under diplomatic auspices.
Given $125M to start, toward a Full Operating Capability of $3 billion, I can bury the secret world and redirect half of the $75 billion per year we waste now toward education and research, creating a Smart Nation.
My samizdat book is for sale at Amazon and also free online.
The reality is that the White House is theater, nothing more, and regardless of which of the two party tyranny might be “in power,” the reality is that neither the White House nor Congress are working in the public interest—they are there to distract us while Goldman Sachs and the Rothchilds continue to loot the world.
We can end corruption with non-violent intelligence that also connects and educates the poor.
That’s the brief. I will take 30 second questions and provide one to three minute answers for the balance of my hour, and I hope to see all of you at SPY IMPROVE tomorrow night, where anything goes, from 9-11 to extra-terrestial intelligence to how I would advise an honest president.
