The data to change empires

Many people believe that there are brilliant tacticians, who meet and discuss how to gain larger control over the world we live in. These are cartels, renegade governments and presumably secret societies… but those tend to stay fairly hard to pin down.



This is somewhat true, but all wars are waged in a series of battles, and often a general has pushed his advantage too far, and spread his forces thin, only to be stopped cold in their advance, or even destroyed utterly.

If there is one inescapable flaw of the powerful, it is overconfidence.

What is the data to change Empires?

There is this thing in mathematics called graph theory, and this concept in computing called fuzzy logic. These are responsible for getting you to your destination in Google Maps. They are amazing fields of study, and amazingly useful.

The same technology that gets you from Seattle to San Francisco has another use, which was talked about in the 80′s and 90′s as the crime fighting tool of the future. Given a set of connections between people, you can reliably find the movers and shakers in any system, which are carefully hidden by front groups. You can find drug lords, pedophilia and human trafficking network leaders, crime syndicates… anything.

In this field, there is no “Smoking Gun” piece of evidence which leads us to these conclusions… it is the vast trove of seemingly unsortable and indigestible information that is just laying around.

The NSA. The CIA.

What have they done?

In their Orwellian quest to provide ‘stability’ to the country, they have done us the service of collecting all the data they could get their hands on. These records, when viewed individually, never lead anywhere, except predesignated fall guys… but with graph theory, you begin to see the 2nd and 3rd order connections… the movers and shakers.

No person who has a digital footprint can be hidden… even assets of a person which are managed digitally, are sufficient to find the “kingpins” of the crime world. If you want to find out if anyone has colluded to manipulate markets… same data, same result.

The NSA and CIA… and FBI and MI6 and Mossad, working together and separately, have collected this data, and shared much of it, so that any of these three countries can use that data to pinpoint the small proportion of the 1% who are actually causing the chaos… committing the crimes.

Are George Soros and the Koch brothers REALLY behind nefarious actions, which they have done through others?

It’s in there. It’s in the data, and even if you try to delete these two nodes, you can still tell from the 2nd order connections that there is… a missing node. Even the omission of data points a finger of guilt at the suspected parties.

This was talked about in the 1980’s and 1990’s, extensively… so why hasn’t it been used?

You can conceal the deeper parts of any conspiracy. You can occlude the path of guilt to the extent that the true locomotives of corruption are never held to account. It only takes a few connections and some moderate diligence to stay innocent “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

But the data… it doesn’t lie. Even the crudest cross referencing of financial interests would make the primary beneficiaries and architects of any organized crime a glowing red dot in the middle of a thousand lines of red thread that say, “Here is your culprit. Here is the person making the decisions.”

It would shine a light on every corrupt kingpin in the world, and it would not segregate the kings from the meth pushers… it would not distinguish between a Rothschild and an O'Malley… a black or white. It would not be plagued by bias, and it an in depth analysis, in my humble opinion, would implicate some of the wealthiest individuals on the planet, and some extremely powerful individuals who have always gone undetected.

Some of my colleagues has remarked that they know who is moving the pieces around the chessboard. They don’t.

Some researchers have incomplete lists, of people they suspect… and they might be right on some, but they will never find them all.

We can find them all. America can, with the data that is sitting on servers in Nevada and Virginia and Maryland and Florida and California, and there is so much MORE available than would be necessary to build a complete picture of crime on this planet… that none of these bastards could hope to ever hide this trail.

Their only hope is to make sure that this technique does not become a part of the toolbox of a president, who could effectively cast the net, and pull the sharks from the ocean… in one glorious stroke of math.
