Focus
• Open Source Everything – the topic of his latest book – restores public agency. It takes away the fear with transparency, it ends corruption and waste with the truth, and it restores trust among all publics both domestic and foreign. OSE is the technical and moral foundation for a real collective.
• Electoral Reform – the focus on his brief Presidential campaign in 2012 – restores the integrity of the US Government and ultimately helps eliminate the 42 dictatorships around the world, 40 of which are “best pals” of the US banking- military-industrial-intelligence complex. With OSE, this is how we bring out the best in all of us, uplift humanity, and create a prosperous world at peace.
