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.
