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
