Guy Smith (born November 17, 1957, in Augusta, Georgia) is a writer and songwriter.[1] Smith has published both fiction and non-fiction, and bills himself as a "writer, songwriter, and provocateur."
Smith describes a childhood that included simultaneously being a surfer and a working cowboy. His writing career began while working at Kennedy Space Center, writing articles for trade press. This led to his first book devoted to architecture of the Hewlett-Packard 3000 computer.
InShooting The Bull, Smith claims that a critical shift in political information has occurred. He notes that traditional media sources (ormainstream media) are no longer in control of the national conversation – that analysis and decisions concerning political “facts” and policy are now in the hands of the citizen media.
“When a few million intelligent but bored individuals are given a unified platform for research, analysis and sharing, power shifts from the organized Fourth Estate to the unorganized Fifth.”
Smith concludes that even though the citizen media produces misinformation, it has disabled centralized or institutionalized misinformation due to ongoing public propaganda analysis.
Smith has articulated a "long view" doctrine for American Foreign policy.[7] The doctrine ties U.S. economic engagement to the civil and human rights records of the partner country. The anticipated effect is that economic vitality will be limited to nations with strong civil and human rights records.
