Between Two Ages Quotes (showing 1-2 of 2)
“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled
society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional
values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every
citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal
information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval
by the authorities. ”
― Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic
Era
“In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of
the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach
of magnetic and attractive personalities exploiting the latest communications
techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason.”
― Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic
Era
As early as 1970, Zbigniew Brzezinski predicted a "more controlled and directed
society" would gradually appear, linked to technology. This society would be
dominated by an elite group which impresses voters by allegedly superior
scientific know-how. Angels Don't Play This HAARP further quotes Brzezinski:
"Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not
hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for
influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and
control. Technical and scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it
exploits," Brzezinski predicted.
His forecasts proved accurate. Today, a number of new tools for the "elite" are
emerging, and the temptation to use them increases steadily. The policies to
permit the tools to be used are already in place. How could the United States be
changed, bit by bit, into the predicted highly-controlled technosociety? Among
the "steppingstones" Brzezinski expected were persisting social crises and use
of the mass media to gain the public's confidence.

David J. Wimer, 65, a prominent adviser to presidents, governments and corporations here and
abroad, died of complications of cancer Oct. 15 at Fairfax Inova Hospital.
Mr. Wimer was a partner with PA Consulting Group, an international management consulting
firm, and had been president of ColumbusNewport LLC, a professional services firm based in
Arlington since 1999.
For four years, he was also president and chief operating officer of the Hay Group Inc., one of
the world's largest management and human resources consulting firms, with operations in 30
countries. All told, he worked with the Hay Group for 17 years in a variety of domestic and
international senior management positions, including a post in Brazil, where he lived from 1974
to 1977.
From 1991 to 1999, Mr. Wimer served as president of the International Planning and Analysis
Center, which was established in 1983 as the consulting arm of Sears World Trade. Mr. Wimer
and his partners were also responsible for the purchase of Newmyer Associates, Washington's
oldest government affairs firm.
The merged firms were renamed the Columbus Group. In 1999, the combined firms were
renamed ColumbusNewport under Mr. Wimer's leadership.
He worked extensively in the international, commercial and public affairs arenas, having served
as the most senior adviser on initiatives of national importance in numerous countries, including
Kuwait after the Persian Gulf War.
Mr. Wimer had also served in the Department of Labor.
For three years, while on leave of absence from the Hay Group, Mr. Wimer served in the White
House as special assistant to the president and director of presidential personnel for Presidents
Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford.
As the senior presidential aide for personnel, he was responsible for the recruitment and
recommendation to the president of all Cabinet, subcabinet and executive-level appointments
within the federal government. He worked with Gen. Alexander Haig, White House chief of staff
in the Nixon administration.
When he left the Nixon White House in 1974, he told The Washington Post that his tenure there
had been "extremely tough." He added: "And yet even at the worst times, good things were being
done."
"I'm glad I had the experience at the White House," he continued. "You feel you are working for
the good of the country, not the good of an administration."
Mr. Wimer was born in Burbank, Calif., and graduated from the University of California at Los
Angeles. While in college, he was a national cadet commander of Air Force ROTC and worked
as a night watchman for entertainer Bob Hope.
He received a master's degree in public administration from California State University and
studied at the National University of Mexico in Mexico City. He was in the Air Force for seven
years, leaving with the rank of captain.
His marriage to Darlene Wimer ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife, Elaine Patterson Wimer of McLean; three children from the first
marriage, Jennifer L. Ehrhardt and Eric W. Wimer, both of Vienna, and Kimberly L. Wimer
Sullivan of Falls Church; a brother; two sisters; five grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter.
Sears World Trade yesterday announced it has sold one of its subsidiaries, International
Planning & Analysis Center Inc. (IPAC), to the unit's current management team-chairman

Formed in 1983 as a subsidiary to Sears World Trade (which in turn was a subsidiary of
Sears, Roebuck & Co.), the Washington-based IPAC has provided consulting services to U.S.
and foreign companies wanting to sell …
