Impedance will be graphed and followed like the stock market. The sum of all ratings will be displayed on the main splash page.
"The World Impedance Rating"
An impedance of 0 is full support and accomplishment of a goal.
Cars allowed on public roads closer to 0
Support for space not as close
Support for privacy not close at all - corporate control and power to generate more money - politicians controlling the feudal peasants that they deem to rule - government organizations attempting to survive new eras - government organization attempting power grabs + organizations lobbing against + individuals discernible actions against an issue.
Each individual rating will also be posted in a similar manner.
Each individual will start with a rating that all humans have, then as things in their lives change and flow the overall rating shall be adjusted and so would at this time the impact and factor on their actions. This factor is only an impact if the impact makes sense. If someone steals a penny and each has power who cares. Though this may be a factor in overall general behavior and a predictor in itself it is not hard evidence of any actionable true rating influence.
One of the harder things to factor into this rating is what happens in the shadows of any non documented and open decision. So if "loser" a says "lets destroy this good thing" then yes they are closer to lunacy or idiocy but if a "winner" were to announce the perceived destruction or opinion on a topic such influence is considerably more serious, especially with correlatable factors such as past results on similar data or recursive corrections for world decisions.
Talking about all of this, this information is going to have to flow as a timeline and general graph at the same time. A line with arrows (deltas) and a graph of such running perpendicular.
Also geographic divisions as each country is its own village.

Ignorance is not bliss
- Actions have consequences. While moving a feather somewhere does something that kills someone action is unenforceable to change a rating, it is too far away (gravity) from the person for them to perceive any real change. Unless individuals responsibility is to not let the feather move because it will kill someone. If person has real reason to believe that feather does not matter, then this is a factor in the creation in their rating, unless it is their specific job to attain and have such correct knowledge.
megalomaniac
- Obsessed with controlling in a manner where they put themselves in another class.

Automated sources like twitter. General word analysis to sway ethos and psychology of publi as an AI or non checked factor.

- Sen. Dianne Feinstein - re-introduced legislation aimed at compelling social media companies to report their users. When Sen. Feinstein and her colleague Sen. Richard Burr first proposed the bill in July 2015, we pointed out that the bill had huge First and Fourth Amendment problems. Specifically, the bill’s language was vague as to what actually constituted “terrorism” that would trigger the mandatory reporting requirement, possibly resulting in companies reporting protected speech under the First Amendment to the authorities. The bill violated Fourth Amendment by allowing the Government to skirt the warrant requirements for searching the contents of communications by forcing companies to hand over user communications and information as agents of the state. Given those problems, the legislation did not progress and is unlikely to get much traction in 2016. [1]
- Sen. Feinstein has given several interviews demanding that tech companies immediately change their policies and stop the spread of ISIS influence online. Although seeking to limit ISIS’ hateful message is an admirable goal as part of counterterrorism strategy, using private companies to bypass the First Amendment is not the way to do it.

On Thursday, NSA director Mike Rogers said, "encryption is foundational to the future." He added that it was a waste of time to argue that encryption is bad or that we ought to do away with it. Rogers is taking a stance in opposition to many other government officials, like FBI director James Comey. Rogers further said that neither security nor privacy should be the imperative that drives everything else. He said, "We've got to meet these two imperatives. We've got some challenging times ahead of us, folks."

A senior Homeland Security official recently argued that Internet anonymity should outlawed in the same way that driving a car without a license plate is against the law. "When a person drives a car on a highway, he or she agrees to display a license plate," Erik Barnett, an assistant deputy director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and attache to the European Union at the Department of Homeland Security, wrote. "The license plate's identifiers are ignored most of the time by law enforcement. Law enforcement will use the identifiers, though, to determine the driver's identity if the car is involved in a legal infraction or otherwise becomes a matter of public interest. Similarly, should not every individual be required to display a 'license plate' on the digital super-highway?"

At the Democratic presidential debate last night, Marques Brownlee asked the candidates a pointed question about whether the government should require tech companies to implement backdoors in their encryption, and how we should balance privacy with security. The responses were not ideal for those who recognize the problems with backdoors. Martin O'Malley said the government should have to get a warrant, but skirted the rest of the issue. Bernie Sanders said government must "have Silicon Valley help us" to discover information transmitted across the internet by ISIS and other terrorist organizations. He thinks we can do that without violating privacy, but didn't say how. But the most interesting comment came from Hillary Clinton. After mentioning that Obama Administration officials had "started the conversation" with tech companies on the encryption issue, one of the moderators noted that the government "got nowhere" with its requests. Clinton replied, "That is not what I've heard. Let me leave it at that." The implications of that small comment are troubling.

John Richard Kasich is an American politician. He was elected as the 69th and current Governor of Ohio in 2010, and reelected in 2014. On July 21, 2015, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president in 2016.
DES MOINES, Iowa — John Kasich is really not in the mood to speak publicly about technology that affects virtually every American’s privacy.
During Thursday night’s debate, Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly followed up on remarks about encryption the Ohio governor had made in prior debates, including the statement that encryption is a “big problem” that the FBI should have the ability to penetrate. Kasich’s viewpoint directly contradicts that of the majority of cryptographers and tech companies, who argue that it’s impossible to compromise encryption to go after a select group of terrorists without compromising digital security for the entire American public. Kelly smartly asked whether those experts were wrong, and Kasich got coy:

Internet anonymity should be banned and everyone required to carry the equivalent of a license plate when driving around online.
That's according to Erik Barnett, the US Department of Homeland Security's attaché to the European Union.

Signed and sealed but not yet delivered, the Trans-Pacific Partnership will now be put through the wringer in member countries for ratification.
The 12 ministers in Auckland yesterday for the signing were relentlessly positive about its likely benefits to their economies and to the ease of trade in goods and services.
Malaysia was so enthusiastic the deal passed a vote in Parliament last week, even though it didn't need its approval. And in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam it will just require the consent of the state president.
Protesters in Auckland were estimated at more than 5000 at their height and a rump gathered outside SkyCity for several hours after the signing.
The TPP has two years to be ratified but will not come into force unless the US and Japan ratify it.
US Trade Representative Mike Froman told the TPP press conference he was "confident" members of Congress would see the benefits of the deal for the US economy and their constituents "and we'll have the necessary bipartisan support for it to be approved".
Australian Trade Minister Andrew Robb suggested the TPP was the beginning of something much bigger.
He said the other giant trade deal, the RCEP, which includes China and India (as well as New Zealand and Australia) could be concluded this year and eventually be merged with the Trans Pacific Partnership to form the basis of an even bigger trade treaty across the Asia Pacific.
Mr Froman sought to address concerns about the investor-state dispute procedures in which investors and a government in dispute can enter binding arbitration.
He said the 12 countries had shared a number of concerns about the way these procedures had been used "and that's why this agreement goes further than any agreement before". That included closing loopholes they had seen in other agreements "to ensure that government can regulate in the public interest".
Prime Minister John Key said it was an important day for New Zealand signing a deal that opened up huge market access. He described the demonstrators as "rent-a-protest" and said the same people would turn up to protests against the sale of SOE shares, against ministers and one was even holding up a sign against 1080.
New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McClay, who has been in the job for less than two months, chaired a ministerial meeting before the signing, and ran proceedings at the signing.
Mr McClay confirmed to the Herald that the bill containing enabling legislation for the TPP, amending various existing acts, would be presented as a single omnibus bill through all stages.
That will force Labour to vote against the bill at its final reading rather than cherry picking.
Labour leader Andrew Little has said Labour would support the part of the bill that cuts New Zealand tariffs on imports - a reciprocal move for the cutting of tariffs of other TPP parties on goods exported by New Zealand.
He did not attend protest rallies.
What next
• 12 TPP countries have two years to ratify the TPP through their respective domestic processes.
• TPP enters into force under a formula which means the US and Japan must both have ratified it for it to take effect.
• Trade Minister Todd McClay tables the national interest analysis (NIA) in Parliament next Tuesday, although it has been released.
• Parliament's foreign affairs and defence committee considers NIA and hears submissions on it.
• Assuming the NIA is accepted, the Government draws up legislation required to enact some part of the TPP.
• TPP legislation is introduced to Parliament and referred to the foreign affairs and defence committee for consideration.
• Amendments to legislation will take effect only if the TPP is ratified.

Marco Rubio wants Congress to permanently extend the authorities governing several of the National Security Agency's controversial spying programs, including its mass surveillance of domestic phone records. The Florida Republican and 2016 presidential hopeful penned an op-ed on Tuesday condemning President Obama's counterterrorism policies and warning that the U.S. has not learned the "fundamental lessons of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001." Rubio called on Congress to permanently reauthorize core provisions of the post-9/11 USA Patriot Act, which are due to sunset on June 1 of this year and provide the intelligence community with much of its surveillance power. "This year, a new Republican majority in both houses of Congress will have to extend current authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and I urge my colleagues to consider a permanent extension of the counterterrorism tools our intelligence community relies on to keep the American people safe," Rubio wrote in a Fox News op-ed.
