Robert Steele is a former intelligence officer for the CIA and the US Marine Corps who promotes the concept of “Open Source Intelligence,” a transparent system based on public access to all information, in his new book, The Open Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust (Evolver Editions, 2012).

Q. Why is intelligence gathered in a transparent and open process better than intelligence gathered by secretive agencies?

It is not secret, it is not expensive, and it is not controlled by the government. Instead it is shareable, and the diversity of views from across the eight information families (academia, civil society, commerce, government, law enforcement, media, military, and non-government/non-profit) can be fully harvested.

The government is the least important of the lot.  The government is the beneficiary, not the benefactor, of public intelligence in the public interest.

Extracts, Reviews, 33 Slides in Color, Amazon Rankings: THE OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING MANIFESTO – Transparency, Truth, & Trust . . . the meme, the mind-set, and the method

Back Cover:  What the world lacks right now–especially the United States, where every form of organization from government to banks to labor unions has betrayed the public trust–is integrity. Also lacking is public intelligence in the sense of decision-support: knowing what one needs to know in order to make honest decisions for the good of all, rather than corrupt decisions for the good of the few. “The Open-Source Everything Manifesto “is a distillation of author, strategist, analyst, and reformer Robert David Steele life's work: the transition from top-down secret command and control to a world of bottom-up, consensual, collective decision-making as a means to solve the major crises facing our world today. The book is intended to be a catalyst for citizen dialog and deliberation, and for inspiring the continued evolution of a nation in which all citizens realize our shared aspiration of direct democracy–informed participatory democracy. Open-Source Everything is a cultural and philosophical concept that is essential to creating a prosperous world at peace, a world that works for one hundred percent of humanity. The future of intelligence is not secret, not federal, and not expensive. It is about transparency, truth, and trust among our local to global collective. Only “open” is scalable. As we strive to recover from the closed world corruption and secrecy that has enabled massive fraud within governments, banks, corporations, and even non-profits and universities, this timely book is a manifesto for liberation–not just open technology, but open “everything.”
