This item, relating to the US control of cyberspace, is a long-standing item on PNAC's agenda, as stated in Sept. 2000 (PDF). See pp 50-57 of the document (62-69 of the PDF).
The fulfillment of this agenda has already witnessed:
a) the invasion of Iraq
b) increasing the DoD budget to Reagan-era levels (as a % of GDP), which necessitated the scaring-sh!tless of the American populace via a Pearl Harbor-type of 'catalyzing event'
c) moving on projects to weaponize space.
One needs only to remember that the people behind this agenda are true Straussians, believing that the public is stupid, is to be held in great contempt, and must be shown the way forward, regardless of its incongruence with their best interest. That such a notion is incompatible with a democratic system of govenment should be obvious to a child.
It would not need to be large (less than 1500 sq ft.). Its space should be passively heated/cooled as the seasons require, employ radiant solar hot-water heat, employ heat-exchangers to extract therms out of any air expelled, and be able to generate/store its own power (PV panels, micro-hydro, wind, battery backup). Self-sufficiency, of course, requires planning that involves deliberate choices of appliances (clothes-washer, fridge, LED lighting that turns on/off by sensing body heat and/or light in a room, laptops instead of Desktop PCs). Wiring for information technology is a given (CAT5, coax, POTS). A dual plumbing system that allows for toilets to be flushed with grey-water would be optimal. And, of course, a cistern for rainwater catchment.
An attached green-house for food-production would be desirable (not included in the 1500 sq. ft.).
