           As early as 1970, Zbigniew Brzezinski, later National Security Advisor to
           President Jimmy Carter, predicted a "more controlled and directed society" would
           gradually appear, linked to technology. This society would be dominated by an elite
           group which impresses voters by allegedly superior scientific know-how.

                  "Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would
           not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for
           influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control.
           Technical and scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it exploits" 342,
           Brzezinski predicted.

                  His  forecasts proved accurate beyond  what  most people  would have
           expected. Today, a number of new tools for the "elite" are emerging, and the
           temptation to use them increases steadily. The policies to permit use are already in
           place. We are at the door to our "brave new world".

                  How would the United States be changed, bit by bit, into the predicted
           highly controlled technosociety? Among the "steppingstones" Brzezinski expected
           were  persisting  social  crises  and  use  of  the  mass  media  to  gain  the  public's
           confidence.343

                  Brzezinski apparently saw that both conservatives and "the doctrinaire left"
           might be inclined to justify heavy handed tactics. The left could say that it serves
           progress, and the conservatives "preoccupied with public order and fascinated by
           modern gadgetry, would be tempted to use the new techniques as a response to unrest,
           since they would fail to recognize that social control is not the only way to deal with
           rapid social change."344

                  Even today, February 25, 1995, as we write these words, NBC Nightly News
           is announcing the widespread domestic surveillance of Americans and others, through
           the CIA's and NSA's monitoring and intrusion into the global Internet. When does
           the proliferation of power end and a new compact with freedom begin?

                  Brzezinski's vision, expressed in his book 25 years ago, was a prophetic
           view of the state of the world. It predicted a direction which time has proven correct,
           in terms of outcome. Those predictions yet to be realized are profound, and could lead
           to  a  very  different  and  less  desirable  world,  The  idea  that  science  is  the
           hammer  of  politicians  is  a  reality  which  people  can  not  ignore.
           Government  should  consider  a  shift  -  from  war  to  peace  -  for  the
           use  of these  very  advanced  research  efforts.

                  The possibilities of these innovations offer all people an opportunity to
           excel in health and intelligence. All men and women should press for opening these
           technologies to positive and constructive, rather than destructive, purposes. What
