Riding the Waves: Seeing and Seizing Opportunity in the Midst of Systemic Sea Change

Crisis Preparedness as currently practiced entails expensive, tiresome protocols one hopes one never needs to enact; in contrast, a resiliency approach offers a means for understanding and analyzing changes, trends and vulnerabilities, nearly all of which suggest opportunities every bit as great as the corresponding dangers.

This paper lays out a protocol for identifying and developing such opportunities with specific crisis/ opportunity scenario examples

Book meticulously explores the extensive "anomalies" in the 2004 US presidential election results. Employing a wide variety of election fraud forensic tools, we estimate extent and impact of fraud. Independently, we examine alternative indicators of how people actually voted including telephone polls, exit polls, surveys, vote change analysis, comparisons/ correlations with past and down-ticket elections. We conclude that had votes been counted as cast, John Kerry would have won the electoral and popular vote, convincingly. We develop the concept of "within precinct disparity (WPD)"- i.e., the difference between the exit poll results and reported vote tallies in the sample precincts used by the pollsters, and show that wide WPDs are consistent with explanations of fraud, but irreconcilable with other posited explanations.
    The book documents contemporary methods of election fraud, especially the carte blanche with which "results" can be produced on electronic voting machines, and evidence that reported results differed substantially and in outcome changing ways in 2000 and 2002
    We also explain exit polls and the high rate of confidence they enjoy, so much that they are routinely used to verify the accuracy of elections in developing democracies, ironically at the same time they were dismissed in the US.
    Finally, the book documents failure and cooptation of the press and Democratic Party leaders. Though censored in the media, the book was widely praised by leading politic scientists, pollsters, statisticians and media scholars.
