On July 16, 1996,
President Clinton signed Executive Order #13011, creating a massive new
bureaucracy with authority to manage "Federal Information Technology."
It links the data gathered by the health, education, and labor departments
to the data accessible to the FBI, CIA, EPA, and other federal agencies.
And it apparently gives this unified information system unspecified power
to- propagandize the public by disseminating politically correct
information everywhere and control people through a vast federal
data bank and monitoring system.
Yet, at first glance, this new order sounds practical enough to silence
most critics. Section 1 begins, "It shall be the policy of the United
States Government that executive agencies shall:
- a) significantly improve the management of their information systems.
- b) refocus information technology management to support strategic
missions.
- c) establish clear accountability for information resources management
activities by creating agency Chief Information Officers (CIOs).
- d) promote a coordinated, interoperable, secure, and shared Government-wide
infrastructure that is provided and supported by a diversity of private
sector suppliers.
The CIOs are selected by the heads of participating executive agencies.
These include most of the agencies represented in the President's Commission
on Critical Infrastructure Protection (Executive Order 13010): the CIA,
FEMA, FBI as well as the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Transportation,
Energy, etc. Executive Order 13011 expands that network by adding the EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency), the Departments of Interior, Education,
Health and Human Services, Labor, HUD, Army, Navy, and Air Force along
with NASA, the Agency for International Development, and others.
To grasp the extent of its reach, remember that the controversial "Careers
Act" (HR1617) would have linked only three agencies-the Departments
of Education, Labor and Health and Human Services-in an effort to create
a national employment agency and a "National Electronic Data Base,"
part of a massive "National Labor Market Information System."
The Chief Information Officers make up the CIO Council, which shall
"develop federal information technology management policy" and
"sponsor cooperation in using information resources, procedures, and
standards." It still sounds like good business practice, doesn't
it?
Section 4 establishes Government Information Technology Services that
encourages "cross-agency cooperation" and develops "shared
government-wide information infrastructure services." Its "major
government mission areas" include electronic commerce, law enforcement,
environmental protection, national defense, and health care." In
the name of national security and protection from terrorists, polluters,
extremists, and other enemies to the global village, the all-seeing eyes
of the State will have power to search everywhere and to monitor everyone.
Section 7 links this Federal information management system to "State
and local governments" and "nongovernmental international organizations"
and "intergovernmental organizations." Section 9 deals with
"liaison, consultation, and negotiation with foreign governments and intergovernmenal organizations on all matters related to information resources
management" and ensures "that the United States is represented
in the development of international standards. affecting information technology."
Do you see the bigger picture?
Standing alone, this executive order might raise little alarm. But examined
in the light of the United Nations agenda and stated government intentions,
it looks ominous. The UN has called for a sophisticated international computerized
information system that would disseminate its politically correct data
and pseudo-scientific risk assessments into every community, build consensus
based on its visions, goals, values, and choices, then monitor individual
and collective compliance everywhere-in homes, schools, offices.
"Develop gender-sensitive databases, information and monitoring
systems," states the Beijing Platform for Action (#258). It calls
for the "consistent flow of information" among "national, subregional/regional and international institutions." (#288) -- all
under the watchful guidance of the
UN's Social and Economic Council. (#314)
The UN plan matches the Clinton plan for social transformation through
a vast government-controlled information and surveillance system. The President's
Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD)-the US counterpart to the
UN Commission on Sustainable Development-issued a report that echoes
the UN agenda. Called, Sustainable America: A New Consensus, it
states in Chapter 3 which deals with "Information and Education,"
"Citizens depend on the quality and timeliness of information to
alert them to hazards and to make informed decisions. As sustainable development
focuses attention on new environmental, social, or economic concerns, government
must perform this critical management function more effectively to ensure
the quality and timely availability of new kinds of information.
"The federal government is already participating in collaborative
efforts with the public, the private sector, and intergovernmental organizations
to improve information management. These efforts should be expanded to
include priority setting for data collection and analysis, identification
of the most useful formats for dissemination, and additional mechanisms."
(p. 59)
The report calls for "international cooperation" and broad
governmental networks to coordinate "comprehensive regional inventories
and assessments of environmental, economic, and social indicators of progress."
The public would be warned about "risk assessment" and taught
"accurate information built on basic scientific research needed for
sound decisionmaking." (p.61)
The truthfulness of this "accurate information" would depend
on political expedience. As Stanford environmentalist Stephen Schneider
said, "We'd like to see the world a better place to get some broad-based
support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails
getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios,
make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts
we might have." (See Brave New Schools, chapter 5)
The PCSD report calls for "policies that increase access to public
information for all segments of society and encourage the development of
the National Information Infrastructure."(p. 64) It wants "better
tools for measuring the public value"-the community consensus and
solidarity based on common goals and values called "social capital"
by UN and World Bank leaders.
To the PCSD, "information is useful only if citizens can put it
into a framework of knowledge and use it to solve problems, form values,
and make choices"-the right choices. For this "framework
of knowledge" is the new global paradigm-the new way of thinking,
believing, and deciding that turns traditional values, facts, and logic
upside down. It's the bridge to the 21st Century and it burns the bridges
to the past.
This monstrous information management system is part of a global phenomenon.
Already, "more than 100 nations have established national councils
on sustainable development similar to the US President's Council on Sustainable
Development." (p.160) Following UN guidelines for "information
management," each nation guides its unsuspecting public toward global
controls through deceptive propaganda in the name of "scientific research."
The PCSD report was sent to me from the US Department of Education with
a letter that stated, "The PCSD is now entering its implementation
phase." Apparently, Executive Order 13011 is part that phase.
As you ponder the significance of Executive Orders 13010 and 13011,
remember what Al Gore wrote in Earth in the Balance: "Adopting
a central organizing principle [saving the earth] means embarking on an
all-out effort to use every policy and program, every law
and institution, every treaty and alliance, every tactic
and strategy to halt the destruction of the environment.... Minor shifts
in policy rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change-these are all forms
of appeasement, designed to satisfy the public's desire to believe that
sacrifice, struggle and a wrenching transformation of society will not
be necessary." (p. 274, Emphasis added)
The world is changing fast. If our globalist leaders win this battle,
they will end the freedoms Americans have taken for granted. It's time
to awaken our neighbors, pray to the only God who can reverse these trends,
seek His guidance, and stand together against the forces that would mold
our minds and control our lives. When we trust and follow Him, He makes
us "more than conquerors." (Romans 8:37)
"Be anxious for
nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the
peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
