Systems theory states, simply, that the world is a system of subsystems (also called systems), interdependent and interconnected, to form a wholistic or holistic system; that within any one system is an infrastructure that is analogous across systems, irrespective of physical appearance.

The Gaia Hypothesis, in different words but saying the same thing, adds a spiritual dimension to systems theory, stating that the world is a living, breathing organism, irreducible to its parts; that what affects one part affects all parts; that in the name of saving spaceship earth, we must change our society.

These are the two hypotheses which under gird systems governance and the transformation of American society to the total quality, outcome-based, environment of a managed economy in a communist society in which every aspect of that society is micromanaged by the all powerful government to achieve goals established to attain a humanist "created future" — the sustainable global environment.

This is happening nationwide, in every branch, office and department of government; in industry; in health care; in education at all levels; in property rights, growth management and land use planning; it is evident in the environmental movement in both the public and private sectors ... there is nothing that is not being affected by this.  This is a total and complete transformation or paradigm shift of our society.

Systems governance has, of course, been tried before:  in the USSR since the Bolshevik Revolution, Germany under Hitler, Italy under Mussolini, Japan under Hito, China, North Korea and Vietnam — every totalitarian regime society has ever spawned.  And the results have always been the same — the loss of rights and freedom for the people subjugated to it.  This time will be no different even though the philosophical advocates of

*       total quality management (TQM) — systems governance in business and industry;

*       planning programming budgeting systems (PPBS) — systems governance in the public sector;

*       outcome-based education (OBE) — systems governance in education; and

*       the church growth movement (CGM) — systems governance in matters involving the church and religion;

believe that the evolution of computer technology will provide the “handlers” (such as was the Supreme Soviet in the USSR, the Third Reich in Germany under Hitler …) with the needed information to leverage problem areas and keep the “whole” (the earth) in balance as a sustainable environment without totalitarian tactics.

The links to the left will take the reader into some of the different aspects of this “new” system of governance, revealing to the reader not the rhetoric but the reality.
