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 OPEN
OSINT is 80
To 95% of the
Answer
Demand Reform
Before 2008;
Home Rule Also
End Fraud,
Wage Peace,
Educate All
Transpartisan
Reality-Based
Budget
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 Network
Transparency 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

Truly Exciting OS SW III
ETL: 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 Hardware
Subset 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.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Harnessing All for One and One for All
OSINT
HUMINT
SIGINT
IMINT
MASINT
Open Spectrum
End of Broadcast, Age of Connection
• Assigned frequencies
are dead, dead, dead
• Smart sending rules
• Permissions system
stifles innovation &
wastes bandwidth
• See the FAQ, Jock
Gill taught me on this.
Open Money I
Open Money is money that must be earned to be respected.
Current monetary system based on
scarcity & control, and creates
waste
• Proprietary
• Expensive
• Feudal
• Occult
• Enslaving
• Unsustainable
Michael Linton
Jean-Francois Noubel
Open money is the global
infrastructure for the emergent
parallel monetary system.
• Sufficient
• Supports public good
• Democratic
• Open source
• Free
• Sustainable
Open Money II
Blogger 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
Open money can reflect both tangible asets and intangible values.
Open money can be controlled by the local community to meet its needs.
http:openmoney.info/sophia/index.html- Eric Harris-Braun
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 Government
The 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!

Twelve Vital Policy Domains

Agriculture
Communication

Family

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.

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

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.”
To Blog for Peace
"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."
