We see globalization—growing interconnectedness reflected in the expanded flows of information, technology, capital, goods, services, and people throughout the world—as an overarching “mega-trend,” a force so ubiquitous that it will substantially shape all the other major trends in the world of 2020. But the future of globalization is not fixed; states and nonstate actors—including both private companies and NGOs—will struggle to shape its contours. Some aspects of globalization—such as the growing global interconnectedness stemming from the information technology (IT) revolution— almost certainly will be irreversible. Yet it is also possible, although unlikely, that the process of globalization could be slowed or even stopped, just as the era of globalization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was reversed by catastrophic war and global depression.
-pp10-11, Mapping the Global Future
Report of the National Intelligence Council’s
2020 Project, commisioned in 1997, a declassified
document from the CIA available here.
Warning: read the Privacy Notice.
They record who you are, baby.
The CIA is full of progressive individuals who want to see the best for all Americans.
Of course, Porter Goss wants to put a stop to that.
Big Time Dick had to visit Langley 8 times to wrestle Tenet into going along with the WMD party line.
They are not about to let a bunch of hard working, conscientious intelligence folks map a way into a peaceful, global world wide economy where the Company's Amurika with a Bu$h isn't on top.
More goodies from this dry declassified document from me over the next few days.
Herr Goss wants to hear nothing it says about the good we could do in the world.
But he didn't notice that with RPN-like logic it shines a light on exactly what Bu$hCo wants to do wrong and why they want to do it that way.
To Bu$hie's chagrin, it seems the CIA has some very progressive spooks still haunting that house.
