About
The goal is to create a
Collaborative Innovation Network where
Information Activists,

Inspector Generals help protect every citizens
Right to know. Having
Access to Knowledge and having the
Freedom to pursue Information is the right of every man, women and
child on this planet.
Media Transparency,
Public Information and
Public Relations is just the beginning. We will also create an
Open Government
that incorporates
Open
Source Governance and
Consensus Decision-Making so that every citizens voice can be heard.
We will have an
Open
Society that is
Transparent
so that no one will be left in the dark.

are trusted with the knowledge of all.
Social Learning
Right to know is the legal principle that the individual has the
right to know the chemicals to which they may be exposed in
their daily living. It is embodied in federal law in the United
States as well as in local laws in several states. "Right to
Know" laws take two forms: Community Right to Know and Workplace
Right to Know. Each grants certain rights to those groups.
Public
Relations is the practice of managing the spread of
information between an individual or an organization.
Transparency is free unrestricted access to knowledge and
information, as well as collaborative or cooperative management
and decision-making rather than a central authority.
Inspector General investigates

Consensus Decision-Making
Open Data is the idea that some data should be freely available to
everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from
copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.
Access to Knowledge should be linked to fundamental principles of
justice, freedom, and economic development.
Freedom of Information the right to privacy in the content of the
Internet and information technology. As with the right to freedom of
expression.
Open
Science make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible
to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional.
Open Science Data is publishing observations and results of
scientific activities available for anyone to analyze and reuse.
Science Commons strategies and tools for faster, more efficient
web-enabled scientific research. The organization's goals were to
identify unnecessary barriers to research, craft policy guidelines and
legal agreements to lower those barriers, and develop technology to make
research data and materials easier to find and use. Its overarching goal
was to speed the translation of data into discovery and thereby the
value of research.
Collaborative Innovation Network is a
social construct used to describe innovative teams of self-motivated
people with a collective vision, enabled by the Web to
collaborate in achieving a common goal by sharing ideas,
information, and work.
Open
Knowledge promotes and
shares information at no charge, including both content and data.
Open Source Curriculum
Media Transparency is determining how and why information is
conveyed through various means.
Information Stations
Information Activists is someone who works to
make information available to the general population.
Public
Information officer's is to provide information to the media and
public as required by law and according to the standards of their

Direct Democracy
E-Governance is the use of electronic communications
devices, computers and the Internet to provide public services
to citizens.
Devolution is the statutory delegation of powers from the
central government of a sovereign state to govern at a
subnational level, such as a regional or local level. It is a
form of administrative decentralization. Devolved territories
have the power to make legislation relevant to the area.
Self-Management
Internet Governance is the development and application of
shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and

The Future of News..
We want to make people aware of the problems we have, but we
don't want to make people depressed or paralyzed with fear. We
also want to make people aware that we are making progress with
solving problems, but not to give people a false sense of
security, or to make people feel that things are going to be
fine, because progress does not mean that everything is going to
be fine, there is still a lot of work that needs to be
done. We have to remind people even though we have made
progress, and even though we have changed some laws, the problem
never fully goes away. And one example of this is the
Civil
Rights Movement. You can fight for human rights and equality,
but racism and discrimination still exists. You can protest to
stop wars, but wars still happen and nuclear bombs are still
being made. You can fight corruption and crime, but corruption
and crime still happens. So the problem is clear, if we don't
improve education and teach our children effectively, and teach
them about
everything that we have learned, then we are condemning our
children to repeat the same mistakes, and to suffer from the same
problems that people all around the world are still suffering
from today. So this is not just about delivering the News, this
is about Educating the public. So much so, that people are armed
to the teeth with knowledge.
If the News is not
educational and effective in delivering important information, then it's almost completely worthless
and dangerous. And the same goes for education, if
education is
not effective and complete, then that too is almost worthless and dangerous. If the News does not inform
you enough, and if education does not prepare you enough, then
we will always have crime, we will always have corruption, we
will always have wars, and we will always have suffering. We have to
fully understand that all our problems are related to our
lack of knowledge, and the wisdom that is needed to use our
knowledge, effectively and efficiently.
So the goal is to present to people with more then just the most
important issues of the day, we also want to provide people with
all the necessary tools, knowledge, information and wisdom that
is needed to solve this problem. No more thinking that someone
else is going do it. The public should know exactly who's doing
what, when, where and how. No more confusion, no more wondering,
no more waiting. People need to be informed, and not just what
our politicians are doing, but more importantly, what our
government is not doing. This way citizens will know what's not
being done and that the responsibility of solving this problem
is up to them. This is one of the reasons why having an
Open Governance System is so important. But we just don't want to
give the power to the people, we also need to give people the
necessary tools, knowledge, information and wisdom. We can
slowly phase in an open governance system, so no drastic changes
are needed. As more people learn and become more knowledgeable,
an open governance system will naturally take on more
responsibilities, giving people more control over their lives
and more control over their future.
So this website will be more then just the News, it will be your
control panel for life. And when
Information Stations are
installed in cities around the world, you will be able to use
the same control panel that you use at home. Seamless
integration.
We need to make learning easy. We need to make learning more
accessible. We need to make learning more socially acceptable.
We need to make learning part of everyday life by having more
educational programs on TV, having more information and
knowledge in News Papers, and having more information and
knowledge broadcasted over the Radio. People need more facts and
a lot less opinions and lies.
