[Search-l] Grug, CISCO AON, and Amazon

Fri Aug 3 11:52:37 UTC 2007

Herewith for the information of the group, the text of a 1 August letter to CEO CISCO.

Mr. John Chambers

Chief Executive Officer

Cisco Systems, Inc. 
170 West Tasman Dr. 
San Jose, CA 95134 USA

Dear Mr. Chambers,

It has been my privilege to be a pioneer of sorts, exploring for the past twenty years the reality that most capitals are operating on two percent of the relevant information, and the emerging possibilities of what happens when every person can have access to all information in all languages all the time.

I have the deepest admiration for CISCO AON and for Bill Ruh, who was the person responsible for creating the Marine Corps Intelligence Center (today a Command) systems, when I was the senior civilian and deputy director.  CISCO AON is inspiring, and the purpose of this letter to articulate for your consideration an idea you may already be pursuing, but which I wish to accelerate if that is the case.

In my view, and I have deep information and a direct source for you if you wish, Google is predatory and their data centers will collapse the minute you introduce recyclable individual routers that give CISCO AON capabilities to every single individual, while also offering 10 GB of elective visible storage, and a secure means of sharing excess or available CPUs with what I think of as the World Brain.

My lecture to Amazon, standing room only with VPs and PMs coming in-I drew twice as many as the Microsoft and IBM speakers, almost 300-is enclosed in DVD form for your convenience.  I also enclose a copy of my planned Gnomedex presentation on 10 August 2007 in Seattle.  Finally, I enclose for your private information a one-page memorandum invited from me by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).  I am on the verge of winning a twenty-year battle to keep open source information and multinational information sharing "outside the wire" as a civil affairs function.  As a former spy, I know the pathologies of the secret world.

If you were to buy Grub, the distributed search service, and also www.telelanguage.com, and perhaps, in partnership with Sun Microsystems (a  Google purchase target that should be denied them), also www.silobreaker.com, then the way will be open to offering the world both privacy and security and infinite sharing with embedded all language translation by humans at very low cost, and a suite of Open Analytic and Collaboration Tools.  Add all Amazon content available for micro-cash, recruit all authors and artists directly into Amazon, and we have the World Brain.

Best wishes,

Robert D. Steele (Vivas)

                                                            Chief Executive Officer
