The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Gandhi not Ghandi. We made the same mistake in the early years. What a wonderful search, thank you for presenting it.

Thanks for the search–we begin our day by checking searches that may not have been satisfied.
Five front war:

Cass Sunstein is a very good person, but he will die on the vine at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Bruce McConnell's old job (Bruce spoke at OSS '92, along with Arnie Donahue, nothing has changed since then).
Knowledge policy is best understood at three levels:
To the left is the traditional intelligence wheel, consisting of the 16 or so (there are other elements not listed) entities that in theory comprise the predominantly secret U.S. Intelligence Community.
Below is the emergent intelligence wheel that harnesses all human minds in relation to all information all the time. We still need spies and secrecy but in moderation.
Although this version is centered on the President, it can just as easily be centered on any Cabinet Department down to the branch level, any Congressional jurisdiction, any private sector domain of interest.

o the left is the map we created when it was clear the USA was going to invade Iraq and blow what should have been the surgical demise of Osama Bin Laden. This slide was created for and used in the opening briefing to the SES course on national security at the Western Management Development Center, and in 19 briefings around the country to the American Committees on Foreign Relations (ACFR).
The only really decent conflict map, now out of production, is Berto Jongman's World Conflict & Human Rights Map also available in a Simplified World Conflict Map.
Notes: If bin Laden could have asked his maker for the most helpful possible American reaction to 9-11, he could not have done better than the Bush Administration’s ill-considered conventional military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq. The US is now an occupying force in Iraq, and in Afghanistan it has lost control of the entire country, where under US “non-control” the opium crop has doubled, enriching all the warlords, who will be almost impossible to dislodge without resuming combat operations. We have started a six-front 100-year war.
To the right is a later version used in private briefings.
Quotes don't seem to add anything to the Word Press search engine, but even without quotes this does not come up. Separating QDR from four forces does produce partial results. Below is the core orignal graphic.
Today, with the deflation of the dollar by 50% in the past ten years, these numbers would be doubled, but the bottom line is clear: we have to apply the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS) to the Whole of Government, and we have to use unclassified shared information to enable voluntary harmonization of effort across the eight tribes of intelligence (multinational engagement, not just military engagement, but Whole of Government engagement with the military as the C4I “hub” for two way reachback among national aggregations).
Earth is resilient to Global War because only humans can wage global war, and done right, global war wipes out the human species. Earth could care less. It's only our ego that places “us” at the center of the Earth. To truly be the center of the Earth, and of the Cosmos, we must achieve Conscious Evolution or Integral Consciousness, and we must do so in time to stave off the total collapse of human-nurturing Earth systems circa 2050. Below is the poem by Philip Levine that opened our second book 2002 THE NEW CRAFT OF INTELLIGENCE: Personal, Public, & Political. Other references follow the poem.
