What is even more surreal about what is happening is that such a total
failure of intelligence, and the apparent total failure as to any
whistle blowing, can only happen consonant with a total failure of
education indicative of a completely socio-politically bankrupt
system.
ECONOMIC CRISIS AND THE FAILURE OF AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE
Recently we have witnessed world economic breakdown.
We were given no real reasons, from government or media, to expect the
severity of the crisis that has swept across the planet, in an
incredibly startling manner. Globalized disaster is difficult to
comprehend at the best of times, but much more difficult to come to
grips with, in terms of understanding, when it is so unexpectedly
sudden and so utterly devastating. Change can be shocking and
traumatic at the best of times. This change, that we are seeing
happening, is more shocking and traumatic than most, due to its
unexpectedness, the denials of responsibility on the part of major
governments and their leadership, and because it puts into question
many of our beliefs about the economic system and its functionality
for the sake of human good. We were led to believe that the changes in
the world economic system, coming along with American led
globalization, were for the good of everyone. Now that most
fundamental principle is put into doubt, and the sometimes brutal and
all pervasive socio-economic push to systemic faith is itself put into
doubt. That is very traumatic. The world is in shock.
Now, what has the world been enduring in recent decades, particularly
in this decade, as to its economic and closely related socio-political
future ? Was it the result of genuine and reliable intelligence, or
was it merely propaganda ?
completely. From all existing media reports, and based upon the
statements and behavior of the politicians we assumed best informed by
intelligence, there was no intelligence involved. There too we have to
now assume that what was fed to the Chief Executive of the United
States of America, to its Congress and Senate, was only propaganda
and unquestioning faith in how things were going on the most crucial
issues as to the vitally important economic frontier.
failure of intelligence.
Economic data is the easiest intelligence to gather, and to analyze.
world today. After all, a huge number of accountants work with
economic data every day. It is a primary concern of almost everyone in
business, industry and in a vast number of related organizations, not
to mention the financial institutions, and not forgetting the
presumably highly privileged Treasury Department.
Now, we know that data acquisition in such a vital area as economics,
and in regard to its overwhelming strategic importance, inclusive of
military strategic importance, is far from limited to what can be
but also includes substantial covert access beyond that which is
available to those without security clearance and need to know. We
have to remember that most conflicts, inclusive of wars, and much of
the covert subversion, manipulation, and other nefarious activity in
the world is essentially about economics and involves economics. So it
is a most vital area of concern for any credible intelligence
organization.
So how can a total failure of intelligence occur ?
Clearly it did occur, in one way or another.
Clearly the world was misled, unprepared, and caught by surprise,
most informed intelligence community, government executive, and
legislative institutions. America was trusted to lead the economic
situation, in regard to its presumed superior intelligence
capabilities as to intelligence gathering and analysis. It was
followed by the world community, even where it was followed
reluctantly, because America was assumed essentially honest, upholding
the truth about the world economic situation, and acting intelligently
in regard to its professed social, political, and economic values. The
world did have faith in American intelligence on economics. It was a
reasonable faith, based on experience and facts. That faith is broken.
The world is shocked, traumatized, and there is now a crisis of faith
in the world community in regard to American intelligence.
That faith in American leadership and American intelligence on
economics will not easily be restored, if it can be restored. America
must come clean on what has happened, and it must do so in front of
the world community if it is to hope to reassert leadership and
in its own economic system, its processes, procedures, its means and
ways, in relation to truth, intelligence, rational decision,
responsibility for actions and results, and the essential rightness of
that system. That measured against what is happening to the world
community, to America itself, to human lives, and most of all in
regard to the impact upon real progress towards the good of humanity,
now and for the future.
The world community needs an accounting from its leading economic
intelligence and rational decision making process if the world is to
believe, follow and trust in America.
Remember that the world community has been told that even the former
Treasury Secretary of the United States of America was admittedly
wrong in some of his major decisions and policy, and that that means
that even Mr; Greenspan, always rational and highly trusted, lacked
adequate intelligence.
