National Intelligence Council Report Describes the Final Solution for “Fake News”

Trends or revolutions can be unexpected. Even with total information awareness. The best laid plans often go astray. Take “fake news” for example. A report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on January 9, 2017 highlights one of the greatest trends and unexpected consequences of the information age. Produced over the last four years by the National Intelligence Council the report titled Global Trends Assessment: Paradox of Progress chronicles current and emerging trends in the geopolitics, military affairs, and technology. The only paradox is that the globalist’s progress has taken an unexpected turn.

Coming in at 235 pages it is bristling with themes on a dystopic future from malevolent AI to out of control geoengineering and break away civilizations. Not kidding. Echoing other globalist white papers with three future dystopian scenarios or a combination of them.

All with the same solution for “fake news“. Just like the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2017 with it’s calls to “smooth the information flow” and this report that questions “democratic ideals like free speech and the market place of ideas“.  Direct quotes!  These documents released at the end of the Obama Administration represent the capstone in globalist thinking about the problem of “fake news“.

In the chapter Trends Transforming the Global Landscape there is a section titled Converging Trends Will Transform  Power and Politics. This word product puts in stark terms how the internet has empowered individuals and alternative media to influence opinion and spread information on a global scale as never before. It offers only one solution at the end of the chapter to the problem of “fake news” that has broken the monopolies. Can you guess what that is?

Technology and wealth are empowering individuals and small groups to act in ways that states historically monopolized—and fundamentally altering established patterns of governance and conflict

The ICT revolution placed in the hands of individuals and small groups the information and the ability to exert worldwide influence—making their actions, interests, and values more consequential than ever before.    GTA p26

When the internet was introduced to the public it had already been in use for years by the military as ARPANET. Developed by the forerunners to DARPA this technology was given to the public for many reasons. One of the major reasons was to “close the loop” and get real time data on what populations are saying, thinking and doing. This allows for increasingly accurate prediction of future trends and how to influence them by introducing strategic stimuli at certain points along the way. Before this governments and corporations did not have instant and reliable methods of gauging the public mood and how they were reacting to social engineering and advertising. Total information awareness is now making the globalists totally aware that people around the world are fed up with them. Now the script has been flipped and the people are making up their own minds.

The information environment is fragmenting publics and their countless perceived realities— undermining shared understandings of world events that once facilitated international cooperation. It is also prompting some to question democratic ideals like free speech and the “market place of ideas“.  GTA p26

Undermining the “shared understanding” provided by complete corporate control of  almost all media that made globalization possible. Leading “some” to question democratic ideals like free speech and the marketplace of ideas. Wow. It doesn’t take a technocrat to figure out who the “some” are. The sky is falling and the information environment is fragmented because the globalists cannot compete in the market place of ideas. So shut it down. Competition is a sin.

 When combined with a growing distrust of formal institutions and the proliferation, polarization, and commercialization of traditional and social media outlets, some academics and political observers describe our current era as one of “post-truth” or “post-factual” politics    GTA p26

Growing distrust of formal institutions is putting it mildly. Trust in government and mainstream media are at historic lows since data began to be compiled by surveys. Once again that mysterious “some” pops up again. A little more specific this time identified as academics and political observers. Blaming citizens of the world for speaking their mind and finding facts that answer legitimate questions. Free speech is at fault is this “post truth” era with it’s “post-factual” politics muddying the waters so globalist programs cannot continue unopposed. These same nebulous academics and political observers identified in the document that question free speech and democratic ideals know that they have a fight on their hands.

The power of individuals and groups to block outcomes will be much easier to wield than the constructive power of forging new policies and alignments or implementing solutions to shared challenges, especially when the credibility of authority and information is in question.    GTA p27

Questioning authority is the very bedrock of free speech and democracy. Freedom will get in the way of forging new globalist policies and international alignments. Implementing globalist solutions to manufactured challenges is difficult when being continually exposed by a fair and open press. This is considered “post-factual” politics.

So what does one do when confronted with this dangerous freedom where people decide what to think for themselves? What would be the solution for those who question democratic ideals like free speech and the market place of ideas?

For authoritarian-minded leaders and regimes, the impulse to coerce and manipulate information—as well as the technical means to do so—will increase.   GTA p27

Almost laughable if it were not so dark in it’s prescription for a final solution to “fake news” and echoed in countless other recent globalist white papers.

National Intelligence Council Report Describes the Final Solution for “Fake News”

Emotional Intelligence - EQ

As the bestselling coauthor of Emotional Intelligence two., I’m usually asked to break down what emotional intelligence is and why it is so important. Right here goes…

Emotional Intelligence Is the Other Variety of Smart.

When emotional intelligence initial appeared to the masses in 1995, it served as the missing link in a peculiar finding: folks with regular IQs outperform people with the highest IQs 70% of the time. This anomaly threw a massive wrench into what a lot of folks had constantly assumed was the sole source of success—IQ. Decades of investigation now point to emotional intelligence as the vital factor that sets star performers apart from the rest of the pack.

Emotional intelligence is the “something” in each and every of us that is a bit intangible. It affects how we deal with habits, navigate social complexities, and make personal selections that achieve good outcomes. Emotional intelligence is manufactured up of four core capabilities that pair up below two primary competencies: personal competence and social competence.

Private competence is produced up of your self-awareness and self-management abilities, which focus much more on you individually than on your interactions with other men and women. Individual competence is your capacity to remain aware of your emotions and manage your conduct and tendencies.

• 
  Self-Awareness is your capacity to accurately perceive your feelings and remain mindful of them as they come about.


• 
  Self-Management is your potential to use awareness of your feelings to remain versatile and positively direct your habits.

Social competence is manufactured up of your social awareness and relationship management capabilities social competence is your capability to realize other people’s moods, conduct, and motives in purchase to enhance the high quality of your relationships.

• 
  Social Awareness is your capacity to accurately pick up on feelings in other people and understand what is truly going on.


• 
  Relationship Management is your capability to use awareness of your emotions and the others’ emotions to manage interactions successfully.

Emotional Intelligence, IQ, and Character Are Distinct.

Emotional intelligence taps into a fundamental component of human behavior that is distinct from your intellect. There is no identified connection between IQ and emotional intelligence you just can’t predict emotional intelligence based on how sensible someone is. Intelligence is your capacity to find out, and it’s the same at age 15 as it is at age 50. Emotional intelligence, on the other hand, is a flexible set of capabilities that can be acquired and improved with practice. Even though some folks are naturally far more emotionally intelligent than other individuals, you can create higher emotional intelligence even if you are not born with it.

Persona is the final piece of the puzzle. It’s the secure “style” that defines each of us. Personality is the end result of difficult-wired preferences, such as the inclination toward introversion or extroversion. Even so, like IQ, persona cannot be used to predict emotional intelligence. Also like IQ, character is secure in excess of a lifetime and doesn’t change. IQ, emotional intelligence, and persona every cover unique ground and assist to describe what can make a individual tick.

Emotional Intelligence Is Linked to Performance.

How a lot of an impact does emotional intelligence have on your professional accomplishment? The short response is: a good deal! It is a strong way to target your power in one direction with a great result. TalentSmart tested emotional intelligence alongside 33 other critical workplace abilities, and identified that emotional intelligence is the strongest predictor of overall performance, explaining a full 58% of accomplishment in all kinds of jobs.

Your emotional intelligence is the foundation for a host of vital skills—it impacts most almost everything you say and do every single day. Emotional intelligence is the single most significant predictor of overall performance in the workplace and the strongest driver of leadership and personal excellence.

Of all the men and women we’ve studied at work, we’ve discovered that 90% of best performers are also higher in emotional intelligence. On the flip side, just 20% of bottom performers are higher in emotional intelligence. You can be a best performer without emotional intelligence, but the chances are slim. Naturally, folks with a large degree of emotional intelligence make far more money—an typical of $ 29,000 much more per year than people with a minimal degree of emotional intelligence. The hyperlink between emotional intelligence and earnings is so direct that each point enhance in emotional intelligence adds $ one,300 to an yearly salary. These findings hold true for folks in all industries, at all ranges, in each and every area of the world. We haven’t nevertheless been in a position to locate a task in which performance and pay are not tied closely to emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence Can Be Produced.

The communication in between your emotional and rational “brains” is the bodily source of emotional intelligence. The pathway for emotional intelligence begins in the brain, at the spinal cord. Your primary senses enter here and should travel to the front of your brain just before you can think rationally about your experience. Nonetheless, very first they travel via the limbic method, the area exactly where feelings are generated. So, we have an emotional response to occasions ahead of our rational thoughts is ready to engage. Emotional intelligence requires efficient communication in between the rational and emotional centers of the brain.

“Plasticity” is the phrase neurologists use to describe the brain’s potential to adjust. Your brain grows new connections as you understand new skills. The change is gradual, as your brain cells develop new connections to velocity the efficiency of new skills acquired.

Making use of methods to boost your emotional intelligence enables the billions of microscopic neurons lining the road amongst the rational and emotional centers of your brain to branch off small “arms” (a lot like a tree) to reach out to the other cells. A single cell can expand 15,000 connections with its neighbors. This chain response of growth ensures it is less complicated to kick this new conduct into action in the long term. After you train your brain by repeatedly employing new emotional intelligence methods, emotionally intelligent behaviors become habits.
