6. 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.

7. Open Source Software I • 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

8. Open Literature Non-Text Data Restricted Information Revision Tracking and Realtime Group Review Desktop Publishing and Word Processing Production of Graphics, Videos and Online Briefings Detection of Changing Trends Structured Argument Analysis Notetaking and Organizing Ideas Collaborative Work Interactive Search and Retrieval of Data Graphic and Map-Based Visualization of Data Modeling and Simulations Clustering and Linking of Related Data Statistical Analysis to Reveal Anomalies Detection of Alert Situations Conversion of Paper Documents to Digital Form Automated Foreign Language Translation Processing Images, Video, Audio, Signal Data Automated Extraction of Data Elements From Text and Images Standardizing and Converting Data Formats CISCO AON: Intelligent Network Enables Applications At All Points Open Office is great, it would be greater if it did all this.

11. Open SpectrumEnd 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.

12. Current monetary system based on secrecy and creates scarcity & waste Scarce Proprietary Expensive Feudal Occult Enslaving Unsustainable Open money is the global infrastructure for the next monetary system. Sufficient Public good Democratic, Open source Free Infinitely liberating Sustainable Open Money I Open Money is money that must be earned to be respected. Michael Hinton Jean-Fancois Noubel

16. Open Money VWealth Acknowledgement So, is this circle scraps from the ill-gotten gains? Can we localize? Credit fabricated; Investment Lies, Explode the Client http://openmoney.info/sophia/index.html

17. Open Money VI 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. Just a few more millions of $ in conventional money are needed to achieve our goals. Open Money is our passion—TheTransitioner is on the job, with full credit to Michael Hinton.

18. In His Own WordsMichael Hinton, Next Year’s Keytone • Wheel was a log at first. Heavy. • Conventional money is a log. • eh-b architecture jumps the napster trap and will propagate p2p servers - rapid viral distribution and integration - namespace for n billion accounts • nothing like this in the evolution of money since 17th century when gold enabled fractional reserve banking • Markets are conversations (cluetrain) and money is the carrier; open money is a different carrier than conventional • moving the memes Earth Intelligence Network Used EarthGame as foundation for fast, unlimited connections and consensus at all levels of granularity and across all time and space boundaries.

19. 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

20. 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.

21. 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 Society

22. Strategic Pause To This! From This…..

23. US Iranian Pawn?—Their End Game • Chalabi a strategic deception • Lured us close to their forces • Let us hollow out in Iraq • Now ready for coup d’main

29. Agriculture Communication Diplomacy Economy Education Energy Family Health Justice Security Society Water Twelve Vital Policy Domains 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.

30. 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.

36. Evolutionary Eras 1st Generation 2nd Generation 3rd Generation 4th Generation 5th Generation 6th Generation 7th Generation Intelligence & Information Operations (I2O) 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).

37. 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.

44. Next Step

45. Warning Notice • DoD is developing Sentient World Simulation (SWS), a really expensive and badly conceptualized program to mirror the real world individual by individual—only they decide who you are and what you think. • The Matrix Expands. For the truly indiscriminate…share it all.

47. 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."From: <http://futurepositive.synearth.net/stories/storyReader$223> To Blog for Peace End Secrecy, Be Happy
