12. Key Negative Trends
• Collapse of complex societies: catastrophe from disaster
for lack of resilience & adaptation as well as corruption
• Acts of Man creating Acts of God: natural disasters will be
more frequent & more severe as we cement more land
• Acceleration of Earth’s Demise: changes that used to
take 10,000 years now take THREE years; absent Real Time Science and Real
Time Public Policy (online, deliberative, transparent) we die
• Shock Capitalism continues to loot the Earth and has turned USA
into a Third World country—UAE (Dubai) is the new Switzerland
• Political Corruption ascendant—44 dictators, both
Republican and Democratic parties are “running on empty” and very corrupt,
elites in towns across America have sold us out
13. Key Positive Trends
• Wealth of networks: fortune at the bottom of the
pyramid, peace through connectivity, wealth from sharing information
• GreenMind: Biomimicry, beneficial bacteria, green chemistry,
• Moral capitalism: natural capitalism, green to gold, cradle to
cradle, home rule, eat local, end of corporate personality
• Democratic Information: “true costs” at point of sale
• Left Hand of God: faith-based dialog and diplomacy, obvious
need to end of our support to 42 of 44 dictators, shunning of cults
• Peer to Peer People Power: from the Tao of
Democracy to localized Wisdom Councils to Blessed Unrest to the Clock
of the Long Now.

23. The Way Forward
Creating a Prosperous Healthy World at Peace
No Words.
Larger figure depicts World Brain in still larger context of the cosmos.
Pig with lipstick in the lower corner depicts the failure of secret sources and methods and their pretenses.
I want to pause for a moment and ask Emmanuel, Eric, whatever his name is today, to join me in order to receive what little I can offer in the way of praise.
I cannot do justice to all that has happened in the HOPE community, but by offering you these small gifts, given to me by Scotland Yard and now to you, as a more fit recipient, and with this medal, a lifetime achievement award from the Open Source Intelligence network—one of only twelve to be issued—I thank you for allowing me to be a part of this. Now we all move on to the next phase, openly and non-violently taking back both our government and our planet.
Eric is a late-riser, so I thought to show here the gifts on the left and the award on the right. Underneath Hards as Nails clear nail polish is the letter “E” and the number “2600.” on a Hard as Nails Green background.
I understand that Eric will open my Spy Improv, so I will present these to him then.
This is our first book, and as with all books published by OSS.Net and by EIN, it is also available free online, this one at www.oss.net/CIB.
To the left is something my son and I devised together, to capture the essence of what we are about, and with a tip of the hat to Jolt Cola, believe we can Dare to Want It All! We Are ONE!
Thank you. I brought 120 copies of this book with me, and will sell them downstairs at half price, $20 beginning in 30 minutes. Hope to see you there or tomorrow night starting at 11:23 pm. God Bless All Hackers.
These are the key negative trends. I will answer any and all questions for four hours beginning at 2359 tomorrow.
PAUSE.
Fortunately, there are positive countervailing trends.
Unfortunately, we are coming off 600 years of negative (pre-1491 was positive in the Americas) and the forces of evil are entrenched.
Retaking our government and our planet will require Extreme Hacking.
