There is only one truly Whole Earth model concept that we are aware of, and that is the one created by Medard Gabel, #2 to Buckminster Fuller in creating the analog World Game, and himself creator of the EarthGame that is a fully integrated part of the Earth Intelligence Network (EIN) “six bubbles” concept for global self-governance.
There are several obstacles to arriving at a Whole Earth model.
1) Knowledge is fragmented beyond belief.
2) True cost information is not a standard–as much as 80% of the true cost of a good (e.g. a gallon of gas or a toy make in China) can be externalized to the public–water, fuel, child labor, tax avoidance, social costs, etcetera.
3) What little information is available to be shared is in stovepipes, not part of the Open Data Access protocol.
4) Other than the strategic analytic model created by EIN, no one has truly conceptualized an “all in” model for beginning to understand how everything is connected and everything has seventh generation implications.
Phi Beta Iota: Act I was 1988-1993. Act II was 1993-2011. Act III began with the publication of NO MORE SECRETS with a Foreword by Senator Gary Hart (D-CO).

Luis von Ahn is a young computer scientist working at the intersection of cryptography, artificial intelligence, and natural intelligence to address problems of profound theoretical and practical importance. Focusing on the 9 billion hours a year that people play solitaire, he has conceptualized means of harnessing that “cognitive surplus” to accomplish important micro-tasks, such as labeling images.
Siglo Veintiuno, a leading newspaper in Guatemala, chose him as the person of the year in 2009. In 2011, Foreign Policy Magazine in Spanish named him the most influential intellectual of Latin America and Spain.[7]
Open Source Intelligence Methods and Techniques Training Program
In conjunction with Reuser's Information Services (RIS), IHS Consulting now offers an Open Source intelligence (OSINT) collection and analysis training service. The program enables Open Source researchers to more effectively collect and analyze information and produce better quality reports.
The IHSC/RIS OSINT Methods and Techniques course is a modularized approach to identifying overarching methods, best practices, considerations, challenges and tools available to Open Source intelligence analysts. It provides an overview of the current OSINT landscape and demonstrates how to best access and analyze the most appropriate resources to fulfill OSINT requirements.
The week-long Open Source research and analysis training course is designed to assist intelligence analysts and researchers perform the following core tasks:
Deconstruct analytical problems
Devise collection plans to answer these problems
Identify and access key sources
Assess and analyze various streams of information
Understand and assess source bias
Synthesize information and insight from varied sources
Produce open source intelligence products

Phi Beta Iota: Bottom line: USA/NATO operating a massive Information Operations (IO) campaign while introducing ground forces not authorized by Congress, and committing what we consider to be mass atrocities (war crimes) in the deliberative destruction of the capital city and other infrastructure targets across the country.
“Everything you see from here is a big lie. People have got to bear this in mind. It's all fake. There's a fake, Libyan town that's been built in Qatar, and they can stage a Hollywood-style massacre in such a place, and say, ‘Now, it's enough, Gaddafi has gone too far.”
As someone who once took an oath in the military to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I have to wonder why a group that preaches taking over the government using “spiritual warfare” isn't a domestic enemy. Where is the line between freedom of religious expression and sedition?
An emerging Christian movement that seeks to take dominion over politics, business and culture in preparation for the end times and the return of Jesus, is becoming more of a presence in American politics. The leaders are considered apostles and prophets, gifted by God for this role.
. . . . . .
Tabachnick says the movement currently works with a variety of politicians and has a presence in all 50 states. It also has very strong opinions about the direction it wants the country to take. For the past several years, she says, the NAR has run a campaign to reclaim what it calls the “seven mountains of culture” from demonic influence. The “mountains” are arts and entertainment; business; family; government; media; religion; and education.
“They teach quite literally that these ‘mountains' have fallen under the control of demonic influences in society,” says Tabachnick. “And therefore, they must reclaim them for God in order to bring about the kingdom of God on Earth. … The apostles teach what's called ‘strategic level spiritual warfare' [because they believe that the] reason why there is sin and corruption and poverty on the Earth is because the Earth is controlled by a hierarchy of demons under the authority of Satan. So they teach not just evangelizing souls one by one, as we're accustomed to hearing about. They teach that they will go into a geographic region or a people group and conduct spiritual-warfare activities in order to remove the demons from the entire population. This is what they're doing that's quite fundamentally different than other evangelical groups.”
