On U.S. Intelligence Predictions for 2030: Its Vision of the Future Threatens Everyone

Aside from corporate, clandestine and criminal sources, in 2012 the U.S. Intelligence community received 75.4 billion dollars of government funding. At the pinnacle of this apparatus the U.S. Director of National Intelligence reports to the U.S. President, advises both the National Security Council and Homeland Security and directs the entire U.S. Intelligence community.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released its predictions for 2030: Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds (National Intelligence Council, NIC 2012-001, December 2012).

Its vision of the future, available online threatens everyone. The programs and concerns of a U.S. Intelligence community are those of a group causing more suffering and death to more people than any group of wage earners in human history. Under the pretence of prediction its report simply affirms what’s happening now.

The propaganda basis for the document rests in presupposing the future of the world’s peoples as its domain. According to Global Trends 2030, the U.S. doesn’t plan to take over the world. The report doesn’t assume the U.S. will continue as the world order’s primary “systemic guardian and guarantor.” It does suggest that a sudden withdrawal from this role would result in global anarchy. To cope with declining U.S. power a number of alternatives are offered in a multiple choice of what future would you like.

What the report leaves out is overtly claiming a victory for its own ideology in 2030. It takes for granted the continuation of corporate enterprise. It carefully avoids imagining a global judicial system. Its stance as a reader-of-trends avoids moral interface. By not envisioning a system of international law, there’s to be no accountability for its crimes incurred in creating a new world order. Among laws to cope with these crimes the Convention on Genocide has no statute of limitations, so there are no predictions of a just world under law.

Predictably the report sees a harvesting of the benefits of science and research funding to universities. For health, without actually mentioning eugenics it foresees diagnostic genetic testing of everyone. Health care expenses will increase. Its view of human biological augmentation (notably for those who can pay) suggests a deep economic divide of rich and poor. It foresees genetically modified as well as transgenic crops for food and fuel.
