Codex was founded by a Nazi man who was a threat to humanity during WWII who later became the president of IG Farben. He wanted to control people by controlling the food. Is that what you want to do?

3 comments for Idea: Use a Whole Systems Approach to Transparency and Open GovernmentOne of the major challenges with large initiatives (such as this Transparency and Open Government initiative) and large organizations/institutions (such as the Federal Government) is the lack of integration, collaboration, and synergy that usually result from trying to design, implement, and manage anything this large and complex. They are typically designed and implemented in separate pieces based on the concept that if you break something large, and therefore difficult or impossible to design, implement, and manage, down into its component parts and work on each part separately, that when you put them all back together they will somehow work well together as a complete system. This is a mechanistic approach, or what is known in science as a “Newtonian” approach, to systems that are neither machines nor the static, predictable environments that these traditional approaches treat them as.
A large, complex system like the Federal Government is neither a machine nor a static, predictable environment, so traditional approaches just don’t work well. For example, each new piece of legislation and each new regulation can’t just be “plugged in” to the existing “machinery” of the current government without impacting other aspects of the government.
A graphic example of this, that we all have to deal with at least once a year, are the Federal Tax Code and the IRS regulations that try to “Provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all” (IRS Mission Statement).
How can the IRS effectively and efficiently carry out its mission when the Tax Code is a massive patchwork of laws that have been enacted as separate measures, often driven by political aims rather than the common good?
How can a Senator or Representative gain sufficient understanding of this jumble to pass legislation that will optimize the entire system of taxes, including their impact on and interaction with all of the different factors and stakeholders, rather than just the small piece they are working on (even if we assume the best intentions on their part of working for the common good)?
How can taxpayers possibly understand and comply with this mess, especially when it keeps changing all the time and makes little real sense to them even when they can figure out what actions they’re supposed to take?
So the government is not a machine; it is a complex, living, evolving system. In fact, any system involving people is by nature complex and constantly changing, since we are so driven by our personal beliefs, needs, feelings, relationships, and reactions to our environment. Trying to design, implement, and manage a transparent, open government for 300 million of us diverse, unpredictable humans is almost unimaginably complex. What we need for this is a proven way to work with complex living systems, what is often called a “Whole Systems Approach.”
A Whole Systems Approach considers all the factors and elements involved, including how they relate to each other, how they work together as a whole, what the system needs to develop, thrive, and evolve in its environment, and how the system impacts and interacts with its surrounding environment, including how the system will be able to respond and evolve as needs and the surrounding environment change.
For the Transparency and Open Government Initiative this would involve using a whole systems approach throughout this initiative – brainstorming, designing, implementing, and managing the system. This whole systems approach should include:
Look at how the best ideas that emerge out of this effort can come together within the existing government system to collectively produce the desired outcomes of a transparent and open government, as well as the most beneficial impact on the other aspects of the government and the environment in which it operates – this country and the world. The goal is to create synergies that result in a system that is greater than the sum of its parts (these ideas and the elements of the government they involve) -- rather than the other way around, which is the usual result of a mechanistic approach to a complex system. This includes not just synergistic relationships within the Federal Government, but with key aspects of the environment in which it operates such as State and Local Governments, as well as with other current government initiatives such as Economic Recovery.
To address the complexity and uncertainty inherent in this system, a whole systems approach is first and foremost based on a set of principles. These principles guide and shape the whole systems process rather than prescribing a fixed recipe or methodology that details out each step of the process like mechanistic approaches do. What these whole systems principles are varies somewhat among whole systems practitioners and should be crafted collaboratively anyway as part of the initiative’s participative process. But I can provide a couple of examples here to help you envision how they are different from other, more linear, mechanistic approaches.
-- Design for Emergence – This is a concept from complexity science that addresses how to deal with the uncertainty involved with complex, rapidly changing systems. It basically means that you can’t predict in advance everything that will happen within the system, so don’t overdesign everything in the system up front. Instead, design just enough of the system to be able to simulate, prototype or pilot it, observe what happens, and then adjust the design based on your observations of what emerged from the system (thus the term, “design for emergence”). To deal with the complexity of the system, it can also involve implementing the system in stages with each stage adding additional complexity to the previous stages that are already operational and observing and changing the system based on what emerges when you add additional complexity.
-- Design for Sustainability - This means you should expect to go through iterations of this process pretty much indefinitely. This is because not only will you need to make changes to the design based on your observations of the initial implementation, you will also need to keep making changes indefinitely to adapt to ongoing changes in the environment. Another consideration in designing for sustainability is to place a strong emphasis on transforming the underlying culture by embedding the new mindset and practices so deeply into the culture that the system will be sustainable through major changes such as a change of parties, personalities, or priorities in the White House.
Ideally, the whole system view should include the following major elements, how they relate to each other, how they relate to the existing government system, and how the whole thing works together as a whole system. Ideas already posted here are shown in (parens) as examples of each element. This big picture view will also enable us to identify gaps, overlaps, and conflicts between the ideas/elements.
-- Strategy – What are the most important questions we need to address with this initiative such as, “What does ‘open and transparent government’ really mean? Why are we doing this? What are we trying to accomplish? What does success look like? What are the most important factors involved in achieving this success?
(examples: “Develop an overall adaptive, participative strategy for Transparency and Open Government”; “Require all agencies to submit a plan for open government”)
-- Culture (examples: “Ask Federal Agencies to Adopt the Core Principles for Public Engagement”; “Create a Government-wide Transparency, Collaboration, and Participation Culture”)
-- Leadership (examples: President Obama’s ongoing leadership of this initiative, starting with his “Memorandum For The Heads Of Executive Departments And Agencies”; “Hold Agencies Accountable for Implementing the Open Government Directive”)
-- Communication (examples: “Promise USA - National Network of Citizen Conversation”; “Convene the American Public in National Discussions ...”, “Use visual recording and mini animations to convey complex ideas”)
-- Processes – (examples: “72-Hour Mandatory Public Review Period on Major Spending Bills”; “Centralize petitions to Congress and the President”)
-- Organization – (example: “Integrate Participation and Collaboration into All Major Systems of Federal Agencies”, “Invite Congress to work with the Administration on this as a government-wide, bi-partisan initiative”)
-- Technology (examples: “Online, visually interactive, one-stop-shop, federal budget website”, “Digitize everything”)
-- Resources/Funding (example: “Fully fund participation and collaboration activities”)
-- External Relationships – (examples: “Encourage State and Local Governments to Become More Open and Inclusive”, “Use 501c3 non-profit member and volunteer-based organizations and community-based initiatives as models/benchmarks for the Federal government”)
-- System Measurement & Improvement – (example: “Process for measuring, widely communicating the measurement results, and continuously improving the transparency and openness of the government”)
Employ proven systems tools to do this. Some of the ideas already presented in this forum are examples of systems tools: widespread, diverse, coordinated participation; ongoing dialogue; weaving the ideas together into graphic maps or models; social networking, collaboration, and information gathering and dissemination technologies, and others. But there are other tools that would also be useful.
To begin this Whole Systems process and to illustrate how it works, I took a cursory look at the top ideas posted here so far and visualized the system that would possibly result from integrating them. In doing so, I identified some areas where I felt the composite of these ideas needed strengthening in order to create a Whole System that could meet President Obama’s objectives. As a result, I have added several new ideas as separate postings in this forum. They are meant to come together with the existing ideas to create a more effective Whole System. These have been posted already or will be soon.
Develop an overall adaptive, participative strategy for Transparency and Open Government
Create a government-wide culture of transparency, collaboration, and participation
Invite Congress to partner with the Administration on this as a government-wide, bi-partisan initiative
Use 501c3 non-profit member and volunteer-based organizations and community-based initiatives as models/benchmarks for the Federal government
Process for measuring, widely communicating the measurement results, and continuously improving the transparency and openness of the government

I am an American. Decended from legal immigrants from back in the 1760's. I can prove when and where I was born and trace my blood line far back beyond those same legal immigrants that came here seeking freedom of religion. I'm a nobody, average citizen and I can prove all of this about me.

Democrats and Republicans have BOTH lost touch with the common man, and they've turned him into the forgotten man. Instead of representing our interests, they represent their own. They force stupid laws on us, and create ridiculous programs that they say are designed to help us. The programs they create do not really help anyone. When government intrudes into our personal lives, it can only make our lives worse.
Look at the Stimulousy Package, for instance. What real good has come of the stimulousy package? Can anyone name one shovel ready job the stimulousy package has created? Can anyone say the money went where it was truly needed? A nice chunk of it went to fund ACORN. was that really necessary? Does ACORN really do anything besides screw up whatever they touch?
Yes, we have trillions of dollars floating around in the Moronisphere somewhere that's only causing our grandchildren and great grandchildren to go deep into debt, even before they're born. I blame the people who voted in favor of this worthless bill, and not the President. He only signed it. Congress created it, and it's nothing but a boondoggle hanging around our necks for generations to come. It will be known as Obama's folly, because that's all it has become.
What we need are responsible lawmakers and representatives in Congress, and not the same old corrupt, lying weasels who would sell their own mother's wheel chair for a dime. It's time for term limits, and it's time for them NOW!

A "Certificate of live Birth" is issued by the Hospital and signed by the Doctor and sometimes a nurse of witness ... saying that they verify that the individual baby was delivered by them or that they saw the birth of the child.
We have two children and have both items. It appears that certain Government Officials as well as the media are playing dumb by saying certain things to ignore the issue. My President ... who I voted for ... needs to show his "Certificate of Live Birth" (some call it the long form) and shut up all this argument up about who is eligible to be President. Of course if my President is hiring lawyers to hide this fact and keep people from seeing the "Certificate of Live Birth" ... then I can only assume that neither He/she or those working for that Office are honest. In that case ... I am without a President and our Country is leaderless.
I am glad I strongly believe in my "Country", but I am loosing faith in my "Government" and the Office of our (supposedly) President. Just show the "Certificate of Live Birth". I don't care what you do with the "Birth Certificate" ... that little piece of paper means nothing. I want to know who saw an Obama baby being born and who delivered the child. I don't need a state to tell me they recognize someone as being born. I want a witness to say they participated and saw the birth.
I was not born in a hospital. My uncle (a country doctor)delivered me at home in 1950 .. and I even have a "Certificate of Live Birth". I also have a Birth Certificate from the State. On my "Certificate of Live Birth" my uncle as the doctor signed th "Certificate of Live Birth" as well as a nurse.
Put an end to all this mess. Disclose the "Certificate of Live Birth" ... or shut down this bogus webb site. The U.S. Government is doing the same old thing of covering up the truth. It is amazing how expensive it is to hire lawyers to make sure no one knows the truth.

14 comments for Idea: US death toll in Iraq and AfghanistanWhat are the latest US military death toll numbers since Obama has become president? From what I've heard lately on the news, terrorist attacks against US troops, and Iraqi and Afghani civilians have increased significantly. Yet we never get a body count from the state controlled media like we did when Bush was president. Why not? Is it different now that Obama is president? Does the news media think it will make Obama totally unpopular to report the latest number of American casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is that why we're not hearing anything?
Obama is now in charge, and if his apology tour, or his policies are causing more US troops to lose their lives, then we have a right to know, just like we had a right when Bush was president. Remember when we hit 1,000 casualties in Iraq? Democrats fought each other over who would get to the microphone first to tell the nation. Now you don't hear one peep out of a Democrat about US casualties. Not even John Murtha has said anything, and he believes the US military is broken. Or does he now believe Obama fixed it?
Iraq and Afghanistan have now become the sole responsibility of Obama and the Democrat party. They are responsible for keeping the people informed on what's going on over there, even if it's bad news. That's a part of transparency. They can't claim Bush is responsible any more, nor can they blame Bush for any more combat deaths since they've altered what they call Bush's failed policies. It is now their policies that are in effect.
Where's the concern? Where's the transparency they chided Bush didn't have?

What happened to candidate Obama? He disappeared once he became elected Obama. All those promises seemed to disappear into thin air. I don't doubt Penn and Teller are still looking for them.
Obama broke his transparency promise through fear mongering when the Stimulousy Package came to the floor of the house for a vote. He swore we needed to pass it right away or else we'd all be wearing nothing but barrels the next day. The Stimulousy Package was passed, and no one knew for sure what was in it.
The omnibus bill came next, but that was blamed on the Bush administration, so transparency didn't matter there either. How many more bills and stupid laws are going to be passed without anyone getting to see what's inside them?
Obama was supposed to be different. He turned out to be the defender of the same old Beltway status quo. Screw unto others before they screw unto you seems to be the philosophy Obama now follows, along with his merry band of robbing hoods, also known as Democrats.
The American people are growing tired and restless with politics as usual. That's what the tea parties were about, not just taxes as some misguided dunderheads may think.
