Measuring the HEIT of Humankind

     I am quite sure most of you have heard the whole 'war=peace' spiel before. For the record, my country is Earth—and so is yours. And, the true heroes are those who find ways to bridge the differences between people and nations; not those who kill for any rationalization you would like to propose.
     Let me ask you something: Have you ever thought about the statement when someone says, "War is necessary to maintain...peace"? Being diametrical opposites, it may be tempting to equate this relationship with that of a concept such as magnetism. Based on scientific observation, no monopole has yet been discovered anywhere in the Universe from our relatively miniscule geocentric perspective. Insofar as we currently understand Laws of physics, a magnet will always have what we refer to as a North and South magnetic pole; even if a magnet is broken in half.
     Similarly, no peace has ever been observed without war as a referential example; and vice versa. Thus, peace=war, and war=peace; whether or not a nation is divided or United is irrelevant. However, to prove this assumed parallel erroneous, as it most assuredly is, let us examine the ideas in such an argument further:

     Considering the fact that Education becomes the cornerstone of global society in the particular Federation I have outlined, we can irrefutably take into account the outcome of an unconditional (meaning money-free) Education contributing to a global understanding of carrying-capacity through an unprecedented, global resource evaluation; again, money-free. This evaluation, which has yet to be conducted, will give us the most definitive answer to the question of carrying-capacity we have ever attempted to calculate. Only then will we be able to state whether or not that carrying-capacity has not yet been reached, has been reached, or has been exceeded. Until then, all that I can say is this: Doubtless, with the intelligent application of Technology and global sharing of evaluated resources, it is quite possible for the Human population to stretch into the tens of billions and coexist in a symbiotic relationship with the environment which sustains us as well as all other life on Earth.
     Such a society would abandon the fallacious, exploitative, destructive means of war and find a better way to the end of interdependent development WITH the environment; not in spite of the environment. Perhaps this is what can be equated to an idea of genuine “peace.” If so, then peace definitely does not equal war. It becomes apparent that the terms peace and war are simply in a linguistic relationship as such; not necessarily in a real-world application as such. For, ALL language is subject to interpretation. Our interpretation of war is relative to our interpretation of peace; and our interpretation of peace is relative to that interpretation of war; so on and so forth.
     In English, it is similar to asking, “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” and focusing solely on the idea of a chicken or the idea of an egg elucidated by our ever-evolving, modern English lexicon; ignoring in whole the fact that the terms “chicken” and “egg” have no meaning to any person with no understanding of the English language. It is partly why some cannot think of one of these ideas without the other and complacently claim each as equals; or, at the very least, equally necessary. This particular mindset boasts of what is falsely perpetuated as an inescapable direct proportion of one idea to the other. Again, this is simply conceptually represented through linguistic composition, and is not necessarily real-world applicable.
     If one truly thinks about this situation objectively, without an observational guide, such as an actual chicken in this particular illustration, communication through words is but the result of extremely sophisticated evolutionary features, Human vocal chords, being coordinated by what is perhaps the most sophisticated evolutionary feature on Earth—the Human brain.
     Back to the language experiment: Let us now substitute peace and war in an attempt to form an analogous interpretation ourselves. We should also keep good and evil in mind as well, since these two terms seem to be linked to the former two terms, respectively:
     In English, it is similar to asking, “What came first, war or peace?” and focusing solely on the idea of war or the idea of peace. Again, both are subject to and have relative interpretations as well as no meaning to any person without understanding of the language spoken. And, of course, language undergoes perpetual evolution; most cannot think of one without the other; claim each as equals, or equally necessary; and then cease the pursuit of intellectual stimuli that could potentially support or disprove such underdeveloped claims. The resultant ignorant interpretation is then transmitted by unread people through social networks, like this one, to other people that thrive on propaganda, drama, and fake or edited news spun by corporate conglomerate media outlets.
   Again, without an observational guide, such as an actual war, communicating interpretations of these terms is but the result of sophisticated evolutionary features being coordinated by a much more sophisticated evolutionary feature. This time, however, the Human brain is coordinating a perpetuation of potentially hazardous ideas which fundamentally mainspring resentment towards others—religions, governments, and money.
     It is called SOCIAL CONDITIONING; and we all are subject to it. Those of us that do a little critical thinking will come to the more appropriate conclusion, despite this conditioning: If we are collectively misinterpreting these ideas of peace and war, or good and evil, to the point that we believe one cannot exist without the other, and essentially use this rationalization to find justification for war, then it becomes necessary to redesign global society entirely. When we shift focus from money to the cynosure of intellectual and technological equilibrium and sustainability, the idea of living in a synergetic relationship with each other and the environment manifests by measuring the HEIT (Human-Environmental Interdependent Trade) of our collective existence. Allow me to explain:
     For millennia, Humans have found solace in the systematic trade of scarce resources in order to form a comparative advantage which can be used as an influential means to potentially exploitative, economically powerful, yet intrinsically destructive ends. Scarcity, whether actual or pretended, has been the prime factor in the consideration of “value” being placed on objects or resources for the largest portion of Human history. Demand is in a linguistically proportional relationship with supply. Scarcity inevitably dictates that supply in that there must INITIALLY be a known desirable commodity, scarce or abundant, to be demanded. Therefore, scarcity ultimately establishes “value.” Technological advancements have proven, however, that scarcity is no longer a viable option for such consideration. An example is hydroponic agriculture.
     From bartering, to coining money, to the present-day printing of paper/fabric money with colorful ink and misunderstood symbols, we seem to have been continuously running like mice on the outside of a giant ball that used to be thought of as flat. Admittedly, it is only to Human ingenuity in an attempt to enhance the Human standard of living that Humankind can attribute the current understandings of the Laws of the Universe, which obviously encompass those “natural” Laws here on Earth. Dollar signs were not flashing in Einstein’s eyes when he discovered the powerhouse of energy pent up inside the nuclei of atoms. No doubt, his vision was unlimited, costless energy for all of Humankind; not vaporization of other Humans for militaristic advantages. Money did not switch the proverbial light on over Edison’s head. He utilized Maxwell’s equations to bring light to people all around the globe; not to hoard this innovation for his home alone while the rest of the world sat alone in the dark. Exemplifications are nearly endless.
     All of the electronic gadgets—televisions, batteries, cameras, computers, cell-phones with all of the above plus internet—which so many take for granted on a minute-to-minute basis can be ascribed to exponential innovation, not money. Sure, money may be one particular driving factor for businesses to strive for improvement, which may or may not, in some indirect way, lead to technological advancements; however, a pile of cash, or bits of information somehow being given “value” from nothing, WILL NOT and CAN NOT tell one how to utilize the experimentally verifiable Laws which govern Electromagnetism here on Earth.
     A businessperson is scarcely familiar with laws of physics; if at all. Nor does a businessperson diverge from the path of profit by any means necessary. Likewise, political “leaders” are just as ignorant and show blatant disregard for the environment to see economically advantageous policies implemented which are influenced financially by businesspeople. So, where is the sensibility in allowing those with no understanding of technology to appropriate the application of technology for self-interested aggrandizement at the expense of the majority of global Human population and the environment? This virtually uncontested complacence can no longer continue if we are to provide a remarkably feasible, globally United, beneficial future for our Posterity—GLOBAL POSTERITY. It becomes evident just how nearly impossible it is for Humankind to be sustainable if mass-ignorance is maintained by multi-national corporate conglomerations spoon-feeding the public scripted news and propaganda through news-media outlets run by their inescapably greedy “representatives.”
     The current system of economic trade is undeniably situated on the foundation of the monetary system, upheld by other “representatives” placed in charge of the World Bank and the IMF—both based in Washington, DC. Global Trade is so interlocked with the fractional reserve banking system that it is confirmable as valid to say the entire Human population of Earth is in debt to this system, because of this system. The twisted part is that no one seems to notice; and those that notice either don’t care, or are bankers. The primary focus has been and continues to be “what’s in it for me?” But, shouldn’t we be asking, “What’s in it for ALL OF US—Environment included?” For, the only REAL trade takes place between Humans and the environment which sustains us and all other living things on Earth. And, for nearly two centuries, we have not been trading fairly at all.
     To maintain stable conditions, which allow sustainable living for Humankind and the environment, we must maintain a balance or equilibrium in our trade. The Human-Environmental Interdependent Trade begins when we peer beyond oppressive means, exploitation, pretended scarcity and rationalization for war, in an attempt to discover a better way. The HEIT of our existence is paramount to understanding how best to accommodate, and perhaps produce massive surpluses of energy, resources and sustenance for, EVERY PERSON ON EARTH. To deem it impossible with no global resource-evaluation is absent-minded and serves only those self-interested persons in economic hegemony. How about we try something new—a GLOBAL economy based on RESOURCES? The transitional phase could take place simultaneously with the global resource evaluation mentioned earlier.
     In order to achieve new HEITs, abolishment of the inherently corrupt monetary system means we become capable of unconditionally forging an unprecedented foundation upon which a future of nearly limitless, global intellectual and technological equilibrium can be built. Sound impossible? If so, then why? Because pretended scarcity has conditioned us to believe that money is a resource or a necessity? Well, IT IS NOT! Is it because it sounds like scary-Mary socialism? IT’S NOT! This is an entirely new concept that has NEVER been attempted. Let me ask you, do you know anything comparative about current understandings of capitalism, socialism, fascism, communism, “any-ism”, free trade, or any other economic system at all? How about multinational corporations, profiteering, the Wall Street gambling institutions, the World Bank, IMF, government manipulation by economic Hit men, exploitation, monopolies, etcetera? Or is what you know simply opinion or hear-say?
     Here’s a fact: The latest trend, especially for the United States, has been for the CIA to send into resource-abundant countries economic hit men with multi-million dollar bribes for political leaders. If the foreign leaders decline, Jackals are sent in for an assassination attempt and to aid in a coup. The last resort, if the hit men and Jackals fail, is to send in the military. Jaime Roldos in Ecuador; Omar Torrijos in Panama; and Suddam Hussein in Iraq are just a few of the many examples. Even if you do know some things about the abovementioned topics, have you ever asked yourself whether there may be a better way? Socialism, capitalism, free trade, businesses, governments, etc., are ALL based on money. As a result, ALL are fundamentally corrupt as well. When this understanding becomes globally understood, doubtless, Humankind will seek a better way. Despite what some may believe or speculate, in an economy based on global resource-sharing, with money no longer in existence, individuality would soar into entirely new realms Humankind has never before witnessed through the intelligent application of technology. Utilizing the scientific method to solve social and environmental problems is part of a concept designed by social engineer Jacque Fresco. Sociocyberneering is perhaps the premier proposal to ensure the most beneficial future for every single person on Earth.
    Again, when Education becomes paramount, a reasonable outlook provides us with a vision of practically ALL other issues eventually aligning on a path to resolve in the most logical, beneficial manner centered on global Unity and sustainability. Knowledge is not property at all; public nor private. Knowledge is not a physical object upon which a price tag can be stamped or an individuals’ name can be carved to declare possession. Nay; knowledge is that which is intangible, yet exists as everything that is. Knowledge is not the things we observe; it is the IDEAS we form and accept from observations and interpretations of phenomena that occur in every-day life. Knowledge is for ALL OF US to discover. Education, acknowledged as a global, life-long learning experience, teaches us all personal as well as social responsibilities and of the consequences that potentially could result from our individual or collective actions (such as population growth).
     So, with a global comprehension of Earth’s evaluated carrying-capacity, perhaps the population really will double. But, if one is willing to present us with a slippery-slope situation like, “the sad thing about exponential growth is that it will likely kill most of us in the end,” that person has to actually take us down the slippery-slope. Otherwise, these are just hollow words sung by an ignorant fool. Furthermore, if one considers a statement such as “It has become clear to me, through a more objective perspective, that death is necessary” truly objective, this turns out to be quite subjective in content. Think about the context in which this statement is framed—This is not objective at all. Rather, this is an opinion and represents a simple misunderstanding of what objectivity is. To be truly objective, one would ask, “Does death, being what is currently understood as an inescapable consequence of Human life, facilitate in any interpretation whatever, an implication of justifiable necessity for war in what has the potential to be a GLOBAL, intellectually and technologically advanced society absent war altogether?” Wrap your underused brain around that.
     Please refrain from attempting to base any point of your sad argument on misconstrued, scientific concepts. It is quite obvious when one knows nothing of astronomy, physics, or any other science for that matter. How do I know? Physics is my major. Now, “floating” implies an object conforming to the Laws which govern gravity-influenced fluidity and pressure here on Earth—Archimedes’ principle, Bernoulli’s principle, the Venturi Effect, etc. If a person knows anything of the Cosmos, that person would know that on average there are only a few (perhaps ten) atoms of Hydrogen per cubic meter in space. Objects follow Newton’s Laws in a near-perfect, frictionless environment (a vacuum) and are subject only to the gravitational attraction of other objects as well as the application of outside forces. The path an object takes through space depends entirely upon such forces —no deviation from the original velocity (magnitude and direction) will take place unless acted upon by an outside force, such as gravity or a collision with another object, according to Newton’s First Law of Motion. So, again; objects do not “float” in space.
     As for the many misunderstandings involving the formation of the moon, this is but ONE of the many possible theories. Although this particular theory, much more comprehensive than most seem to be capable of conveying, is perhaps the most accepted, it must be acknowledged that the subject is still an open question. Scientists believe life did not begin proliferation on Earth until an estimated 1-billion years after the chaotic turbulence surrounding the Sun coalesced into the planets in our Solar System. The cataclysmic event that potentially created the moon is estimated to have happened very early on in Earth’s formation; perhaps a million years after our presently majestic planet collected most of its surrounding dust, ice, debris and gas left in the wake of a supernova. More than likely, this was a massive First Generation star from which the Sun and all the orbiting planets were formed. Stating that the impact killed “a ton of life” is plain nonsensical. Even if life was present, which is doubtful at best: 1. Life at this stage of Earth’s formation would have been comprised of unicellular, microscopic organisms; 2. Very few multi-cellular organisms, if any at all, would have had sufficient time to evolve; and 3. An impact of this magnitude (a Mars-sized object slamming into Earth) would result in what is known as an Extinction-Level Event—meaning ALL life is extinguished.
   Finally we arrive at a most unoriginal conclusion: war is necessary to maintain population balance; and peace, in turn, eventually makes war necessary. Is it really THAT difficult to pose instead the most obvious question that arises from this assumption; “Is there a better way to maintain balance between a growing global Human population and the environment which sustains all life we currently know of?” Seemingly, one is only concerned with maintaining a supposed necessity of war when referencing the appropriation of resources on a global scale; ignoring technological capability and intellectual potential being applied to the appropriation of resources on a global scale through the scientific method. Burning of so-called “natural” resources derived from fossil fuels is undeniably wreaking havoc on the environment. “ALTERNATIVE” resources already exist; but Multinational Corporations rooted in the oil and natural gas industries are blocking large-scale production of all-electric vehicles, photovoltaic cell research, geothermal research, and wave-energy research and push propaganda to make the public in industrially developed countries believe in some form of supposed inefficacy of these technologies. To what end?—Money, of course. Planned obsolescence is profitable. Technically speaking, however, these so-called “alternative” forms of energy are the only TRUE “natural” resources; for, no pollution would result from the extraction and conversion of sunlight, or geothermal-, or wave-energy. No fuel would need to be refined and no burning of such fuels would be necessary to extract the unimaginably vast storehouses of potential energy all around us.-----Fact: The sun produces almost 4x10^26 Watts of energy. The amount of this energy which actually reaches Earth’s surface is more than 20,000 times the amount used ANNUALLY by all of Humankind. In other words, innovation in the field of solar cell research alone could potentially solve the energy problem on a global scale—FOREVER. Well, at least for the next 5.5-billion years. But, just imagine the combination of these truly natural sources of energy providing the entire globe with practically unlimited, money-free energy. This is possible TODAY. Not in fifty, or a hundred, or a thousand years—RIGHT NOW. So we can continue to rationalize exploitative practices, promote self-interest, perpetuate hostility towards new approaches, or we can find A BETTER WAY by pursuing new HEITs in our collective existence, rooted in sustainability and global advancement of Humankind. This is The Human Endeavor, and we are ALL on this journey together. We are ONE species sharing ONE planet with millions of others. And that is what we must remember. We already are not alone.

A Word of Advice

    Once again, a few weeks ago I found myself sifting through the nonsense people love to regurgitate on Facebook fan pages, or anywhere on the Internet for that matter. This particular post was in response to another wonderful discussion on the United States of America Facebook Fan Page entitled “What makes America so shit?” which garnered more responses than nearly every other post on the entire page. Taking that into account, it really needs no further introduction:

     All of you should consider actually learning the English language and utilizing it appropriately in your arguments. Perhaps then those arguments would have some proportionable weight in structure and content to the level of grammar used. It is hysterical at first to see not a single person grammatically correct in his or her writing. In the end, however, it is really just sad to realize that exactly what we are all doing here and now is the very culprit in practically dismantling entirely the fundamental building blocks of credible argumentative essays--a strong thesis, verifiable supporting data, proper sentence structure and appropriate punctuation. When the age of 'Internet-Ready Everything' dawned nearly a decade ago, texting and instant messaging immediately grew to become the ultimate source of acronyms and laziness in writing. But that is alright because here in the United States, you can go and get a star-spangled quality education at an affordable cost. There's just one little catch--you can't. Unless you are rich the cost of that quality education is so far out of your income range that it is just easier to stay stupid. And if anybody wants to get a loan, it becomes nearly impossible. Instead of basing the qualification to receive loans for education on the desire alone to attend school, it has become subject to the ever-changing, little, imaginary number called a credit score--a number which changes at the whim of credit card companies; the same ones that charge you 30% or more interest on your balance. Not a problem because that is what the purpose of life is: to focus all of our time and energy to the embellishment of the monetary system. (I hope that none of you agreed with that last sentence because it was clearly sarcasm.) But, it's okay because you still have a great Health plan. Oh, that's right--you don't. Unless you are rich or in government, good luck getting approval from an insurance company for a surgical procedure that could save your life because your illness is deemed "pre-existing" or some other invidious circumstance in place to maximize profits by saving money. Don't worry; at least you will still have a house to live in until you do die--uh oh.

     It was asked in the title of this post, "Why is America so shit?" I don't think that the United States is shit; yet. Slowly but surely, however, morons like G.W., Sarah Palin, the tea baggers and many, many more ignorant, arrogant douches are proudly wadding this country up in Charmin and flushing it down the toilet. George W. Bush is a sinker, along with the rest of the Sesame Street Administration; Palin is a floater just like the ice up there in Alaska; and the tea party is just a bunch of inbetweeners--you know, the ones that touch the bottom yet stick out of the water a little. All of this is happening, though, because people love so much to have opinions in this country, even if those opinions are unfounded, incredible or just plain ignorant. (Granted, this is a very opinionated post, but these opinions are based on obvious facts, research and observation of the painful truths here in the U.S. and are mostly intended in this particular as dry humor.) My favorite incredible claim is that the United States is the best damn country in the whole wide world. But, that's just fine because you can always start a reality show about how great your life is. There's just one problem: it’s not. Anyways, you won't because you are too lazy and will not stop spouting about how great this country is one instant, then just as obstacles arise the next, what a piece of shit this country is. The Constitution of the United States of America, however twisted and backward the government has become, guarantees you the freedoms to say and do what you want and grants you the privilege/right to be a citizen. And even that has changed a bit due to the Patriot Act. But, as I am sure there are only a few of you that have actually read the Constitution (four pages is just so much to have to read, I know), I am almost certain that none of you have read the 342-page Patriot Act which actually does abridge some of your rights and freedoms, especially those in Amendment V.

     Honestly, I could go on all day. But that is not my purpose in posting here today. What I am doing is challenging each and every one of you to better yourself; better your understanding of the world; and to learn how to write effectively. Don’t just act like your opinion is supposed to be of such prominent importance and strong subject matter when in fact the only place you are probably posting your grammatically incorrect discourse is here; on a Facebook fan page. Do some type of research and learn how to spell. And to those who will undoubtedly rebuttal with some sort of “I’m so patriotic!” garbage or "You're an asshole!"—you are exactly who I am talking about so get over yourself. Grow up people and do something beneficial to the whole of society. Life does not revolve around being a citizen of the United States of America. Don’t just sit here and whine about things because you can; that just makes things worse. If you want to truly get involved, learn about your government and ways to interact with that government before deciding to boast about your wonderful opinions. Then, actually do something. Bitching about anything and everything, neglecting to advance ideas on the betterment of anything and everything, is exactly what makes people all around the world look at the U.S. and laugh. (Do not twist my words with some sad excuse for a remark against what I just wrote. I did not say that everyone around the world laughs at us. Many people love the United States and move here because of our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms that so many of us take for granted on a daily basis; but, many people also despise the United States because of narrow-mindedness as well as arrogance and want us gone.) Perhaps I will be proven correct within a few of the following posts…

Sharpening the Sword

    Let’s face it—life is a double-edged sword. You are born, you live a relatively short life, averaging 70 or 80 years, in a universe understood to be roughly 13.7 billion years old, and then you die; but is there something more to life than this Excalibur of truth? Honestly? I will have to say probably not; at least in the sense that this double-edged quality seems to be present in almost every conscience choice that can ever possibly be made. Nearly all aspects of life can be concluded to being double-edged. Even the time spent becoming knowledgeable can be considered to be time taken away from working for monetary gain--which as I mentioned earlier is what our current vision of success is based upon--or time away from a vast selection of trivial activities. But what is it that prevents us from letting ourselves advance as a societal whole? Can any amount of money truly buy knowledge?

     I propose that learning should never be equated in any way with the monetary system and it is a shame that it has become so enveloped by the concept. Financial aid and the educational system seem to go hand-in-hand. It is as though we are so consumed by consumerism that we fail to acknowledge the true significance of education for what it really is—a means to advance oneself for the benefit of society and the environment that sustains our very existence. (And even if we acknowledge the significance of these endeavors, it seems to take years of "bureaucratic debate” (if that is what you want to call it) to implement such a strategic action, if any at all. Moreover, if a plan just so happens to finally be put into action, it has been so warped and contorted by the influence of “monetary potential” that the goals originally set forth by the plan take a backseat to profit or propaganda scare-tactics--much like the current Health Care Reform disaster.)

    Two thousand pages? Really? Can it truly be possible that it would take two thousand pages to achieve the goal of providing for the Health Care of Citizens? Maybe we should step back for a minute and realize that in the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson compelled the colonies to separate in only a single page. Furthermore, the Founders established the very foundation of the United States government through the enumerations of the Constitution in only four pages. The list goes on and on. The point is that we can shuffle words and key phrases around all day, but at the end of the day we will more than likely have meaningless, deceitful nonsense--especially if the Bills' mission objectives end with the words "and for other purposes" as both the Patriot Act and the new House Bill for Health Care Reform do. Is it just me or is this ringing any bells with anyone else? Maybe the Liberty Bell? Anytime a bill should open with those words and then continue to ramble for thousands of pages that would keep even the most savvy scholar busy for days, weeks, or even months trying to decipher through referencing, the constitutionality of such a document should immediately be under intense scrutiny. What we need is to discard these exhaustingly large documents altogether and in perhaps only a few paragraphs illustrate the effectiveness of detailed yet extremely comprehensible vocabulary that in no way could be construed to oppose the explicit intentions set forth in the new document. It can be done but we have to want it. The choice rests in our hands so will we retain it, pass it on, or throw it away for convenience?

Irons in the Fire

     I envision a future in which the terms classified and top secret have no meaning; one in which unwavering social relations exist worldwide in the form of a United Federation that governs globally in a strictly non-classified fashion, and wars between separate nations are known only in history books. The United Federation umbrellas the once-separate nations (States) with a purpose that serves to promote unbiased education for absolutely every single person worldwide; to provide global services such as communication networks, green transportation, green energy, water, and emergency relief; to ensure the finest health care is provided to every single Citizen worldwide, unconditionally and to secure Human and Civil Rights and Liberties, Animal Rights and environmental protection in addition to overall well-being through positive intellectual and technological progression.

     The Federation Code Alliance (FCA)—elected officials from each state—comprises the Federation Code making (Legislative) body of the Federation. To form a government that truly represents the interests of all Citizens, every party has a seat guaranteed by Federation Code. There are no presidents or prime ministers because, logically, no single person should be granted power to make decisions on behalf of the entire world. Instead, through a global public election, a Federation Council will be the established Authority of the Executive branch, consiting of one representative from each populated continent, but shall not be limited to already-elected officials of the FCA. Nor shall limits with regard to race, creed, color or political party be placed on Citizens' rights to candidacy. The only restrictions require Citizens running for a Council position to have attained the age of thirty, have a two-thirds majority consent of FCA members, and must procure a fifty-one percent approval by a global vote. Maintained as a measure to prevent corruption, this gives Citizens immediate access to being a critical part of government. As for the Judicial branch, the Global Prevailing Court (GPC) takes precedence in the United Federation. A State Prevailing Court (SPC) will have jurisdiction in each State, unless the GPC finds that any SPC acts against Federation Code. In such a case, the GPC takes full authority and holds a hearing to determine whether any actions taken by SPCs were in violation of Federation Code.

     The United Federation Peace Corps (UFPC) takes the place of military and establishes an umbrella Department of Code Enforcement (DCE) that promotes peace through logical reasoning under the direct supervision of the Federation Council. Under the DCE umbrella, states retain strictly provisioned autonomy through a States’ Council congruent with Federation Code and provide Code interpretation designed to be an effective crime-prevention system. State autonomy is also for census and other limited purposes that include residency and drivers’ licenses. Code enforcement at States’ level is the duty of UFPC officers stationed at DEC locations throughout each State. These Departments are dutied with training and promoting County and City UFPC officers.

     The monetary system, which is probably the largest inhibitor of worldwide unification, is abolished, eliminating greed, power and class structure, and a system of reasoning that accelerates the advancement of society through logic and creative encouragement is adopted. It is understood that there is no separation of class; for, we all belong to the Human class. The Human class no longer views employment as a means for monetary gain. Jobs such as bankers, loan agents, real-estate agents, other powerhouse corporate structures, etc., no longer exist in the way that we once knew. People work simply for the collective benefit of society. With no monetary system or class structure, “success” is briefly measured by how beneficial a person has been to the positive progression of society. Encouragement prevails in terms of success. People worldwide become inevitably beneficial due to constant encouragement of others to become more beneficial. As a result, eventually every person in the world becomes a success and the term is no longer used as a staple of society. (But even if the monetary system is not altogether dissolved, which will probably be the case, all of the separate monetary systems of our world will have to coalesce into a singular unit. Implementing this solitary idea quite possibly could be the end-all to wars, separation of nations, and the notion that "money makes the world go around." It could perhaps sound the beginning of this proposed future of unity and advancement.)

     The educational system becomes the cornerstone of society. Teachers are the societal backbone in that they provide detailed understanding through specialized curriculum geared at encouragement by means of a totally constructive support system. This system administers a carefully designed balance of recreational activities, such as athletics that promote critical thinking, exercise and overall well-being, and an intellectually intensive, positively reinforced system of teaching that is an integration of state-of-the-art technology and Human instructors. Students are urged to perform at a pace they find most comfortable while setting goals to constantly improve. Curriculum is based on creative encouragement, music, language, science, mathematics, technology, communication and history and provides a clear understanding of Federation Code. Religions, and the histories, interpretations and applications of, are taught unambiguously and objectively, not portrayed as conformities to which we must subject ourselves in order to fulfill conflicting ideas of creation, life, death and afterlife.

     Technology is no longer abused for destructive purposes or control. We strive for the most discerning understanding of the fundamental structures of the universe; from quantum mechanics, the study of sub-atomic particles, to cosmology, the study of the universe as a whole; from preventive medicine to the most state-of-the-art life-saving medical technology; from sustainable energy to environmental protection and beyond. This allows us to provide evidence for, or disprove, the existence of other forms of life elsewhere in the universe, improve health and life expectancy of Humans, and enables us to advance intellectually as a societal whole with absolute regard for the environment. It might even permit our contacting other life forms if they just so happen to be intelligent, as we so arrogantly define ourselves as. Technology inevitably leads us to answers for questions concerning existence, hyperspace, time travel, intergalactic travel and parallel universes with experimental data to confirm theories on such matters. With this framework in place, both technological and intellectual progressions happen simultaneously. Technological progression now takes place for global societal benefits only, now that money is no longer a factor.

     Is it possible to coordinate such a vast undertaking? Can people really let go of the concept of money without failing economically? Why not? The power of togetherness has proven to be quite influential in terms of making realizations out of dreams. Such challenges should be met with optimistic envisioning and conviction. An extremely comprehensive undertaking is required to present such large, drastic economic and governmental revisions to a population of nearly seven billion. It begins with global assimilation under the FCA. This will introduce technological and intellectual opportunities to impoverished areas of the world that UFPC officers systematically free from the influence of tyranny, oppression and human trafficking. The FCA will build a clearly understandable foundation of logical guidelines through reasoning and constructive debate. It will provide assistance to the immediate facilitation of teachers and doctors, in addition to all necessary supplies, to less advanced parts of the globe. Environmental protection and sustainability also become top priority, as a plan to eliminate usage of at least fifty percent of all fossil fuels by 2015 is implemented. With such a large number of proven and proposed “alternative” energy sources already at our disposal, what is stopping us from a full integration into the power grid? Imagine the carbon emission savings within only the first year. Virtually all possible environmental crises can be diverted simply by taking advantage of these shrinking windows of opportunity. The technologies to harness nearly free energy already exist and innovations can only mean that more energy is on its way. So what exactly are we waiting for?

     The bottom line is that we have the means and ability to look beyond race, creed, color and even government, if necessary, and Unite as a societal whole for the Cause of Global Advancement. No matter how much we say that there is not enough time in one day; no matter how wrapped up in the distractions of modernization we become, one thing must never be forgotten--that we must have the time to stop and think about life and how fortunate we are in comparison to a large portion of people around the globe that literally starve to death, are forced into slavery, and stripped of all Civil Rights and Liberties by tyrants. These are Human Beings. Can anyone really say that they do not have time to think about the influence that we all could have if we could truly become Unified? When I look into the mirror, what I see is a product of an incomprehensibly long chain of cosmic events that somehow led to me standing there looking at myself, wondering, "Why am I standing here?" My mind sort of soars off to journey through the Realm of Possiblities. Then I realize something: the very reason that I am able to comprehend or even establish that insight is Education and that all too often taken for granted, easy access to information called the Internet. The action necessary to achieve such a visionary future rests with Education through either one of these means and is in no way limited to only the two. For it is Education, in any positive form, that will put an end to tyranny and oppresion; Education that will give people the ability to have a voice; Education that will propel us into a future of Unity, Freedom and Peace; and Education that ensures this future is both attained and retained by our Posterity. It is critical for the Human race to come together in Unity for advancement. So let us rise together and settle for nothing less.

On the Government and Health of Citizens

     It has become deeply unsettling to be in an age of such exponential, technological advancement; yet bear witness to the failures of the United States government—one of the world’s "superpowers", nonetheless—to uphold the distinct responsibilities explicitly established in the preamble of its Constitution—and I quote, “provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare….” Somehow this has been severely misconstrued into what seems to be only, “provide for defense.” Currently, not one, but two wars are raging on draining literally trillions of tax payer dollars into campaigns—which began with former President G.W. Bush in what can only be described as an apparent attempt at world domination of the oil industry—that are highly ridiculed and globally disapproved of; wars that, if President Barak Obama is truly deserving of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize, he will surely pull American forces out of by the end of 2009, not send in tens of thousands more. In the midst of these wars, the climate crisis, an economic meltdown, and a spiraling-out-of-control, private health care sector, President Obama has yet to take an unyielding stand for the latter; something which was one of his campaign’s fundamental bases—universal health care.

     Today, the American people anxiously await as Congress “debates” what the best health care plan action is, which apparently has yet to be named, that should be implemented in our modern, industrialized, and highly disproportionate, capitalist economy. Meanwhile, the outcomes of millions of lives that could benefit and possibly be saved hang in the balance. By the passage of collectively composed legislature, in this case meaning by the consent of Congress and the general public, we would more than likely reach a resolution to enact some form of “Universal” health care—essentially free health care provided to citizens that cannot pay, by the government, at the not necessarily large expense of tax payers; the same tax payers that in the end could benefit from such implementation. Strangely enough, President Obama even said that there would be a new era of openness between Government and the general public. “Transparency and the rule of Law will be the touchstones of this presidency…,” he stated in his White House staff address on January 21st, 2009. After all, the citizens that comprise the general public are the ones affected by such legislature and should have an equal say in and, at the very least, have access to witness policy making decisions that affect the general welfare of the general public. Yet, Congress continues unabated to write legislation behind closed doors, undermining the authority of people to be the ultimate decision makers in the way a republican democracy is run. The United States government apparently has interpreted its responsibility of promoting the general welfare to mean that it will undoubtedly have all of the answers to health care concerns without consideration of public opinion or even its consent. The bottom line is this: if a government of any kind shall neglect to acknowledge the importance of and provide for the well-being, health and education of its citizens—allowing the denial of life saving treatments for profit and cutting funding for schools across the country—it becomes the epitome of failure. And of course, history would tell us that all signs point to the seeds of tyranny.

     So what exactly is it that dissuades our government from opening these doors of secrecy? We know that the Founders had little faith in the general public being a part of the new government and distrusted them with governmental responsibilities; hence, they established the Electoral College to be the deciding body in the presidential election. They even distrusted government itself and so established a system of checks and balances to prevent one section of government from interfering with the affairs of others. But it is 2009, and we now find ourselves at the whim of another two-sided distrust in our government—one that shrouds itself in concealment with smoke and mirrors! Trying to get a congressional representative or even a presidential candidate to answer a simple yes or no question these days leads to a seemingly endless tangent of topics that have no relevance, leaving us confused and scratching our heads about the wild goose chase we had just part taken in only to come up empty-handed. And if statistics are presented then the most common response is, “Well, I don’t think I would trust those particular figures,” or something to that extent. The fact that the health care bill is being forged behind closed doors not with the general public, but with private insurance representatives, should be the ultimate wake-up call to the American people. The problem is that it could spell disaster for private insurance companies that profit millions of dollars for the denial of potentially life-saving treatments on the grounds of what they call, “pre-existing illnesses.” Since when did profit take precedence over people? And can anything really be blamed on the media?

    Unbiased news is seemingly a thing of the past, which makes it difficult to make informed decisions based on the information we receive from the most popular so-called news organizations. Somewhere along the way, objective reporting has taken a backseat to presenting it first, with total disregard of source credibility. However, we can take information from many different sources with the global reach of the Internet, gaining knowledge and becoming “informed” along the way, and make decisions based on our own fact-checking and source credibility. A good start would be The Constitution of the United States. Blaming the media is one thing, but trying to silence any media of any kind no matter what the allegations before publishing and distributing news is unconstitutional. Remember that Amendment I ensures our right to freedom of speech, press, assembly and religion. That being said, we the people can take a look at and learn from the history of the health care industry (along with many, many others) and find in it the faults that led to this far-too-drawn-out legislative ordeal. From this data we can, and this is constitutionally protected in Article V, collectively organize an assembly to write our own amendment that guarantees health care. “Whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution….” But that is not the only case which amendments can be proposed. The Constitution continues with, “or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments….” If three-fourths of the several states or three-fourths of the, “Conventions in three-fourths thereof,” concur then the amendment, again I quote, “shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution.” If this has to come down to the states proposing a new amendment to the Constitution to protect the health of more than 40 million uninsured Citizens, then what faith should we possibly have in our national government to listen up when we speak out.
     Slowly but surely our First Amendment rights are being slyly taken away from us in an attempt to “protect us”, as the government would want us to believe; and if that ever happens—a government becoming destructive of its ends—then it is the right of the people to “throw off such a government,” as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence. So why then, did we let such an insidious bill as the Patriot Act pass? If any of the people who were delusively scared into voting this plague of uncontested infringement into law would have bothered to read the Constitution, maybe they wouldn’t have been so quick to enact a law that totally undermines the very structure of our government outlined explicitly in the Articles and Amendments. We handed our rights over without even thinking about it. The question that you need to ask yourself is: was it unconstitutional? Get it. Read it. And you shall know the answer to that without equivocation.
     It may sound like a daunting task but we must find it in ourselves to become a globally unified society. All around the world stories of death, destruction, corruption and tyranny flood the airwaves and television stations alike. Where does this hostility originate from? When will it end? Is it from a lack of education? If so, then why does our government continue to cut educational funding? Maybe it is simply greed taking rank over charity. Whatever the case, it has become strikingly evident that we are at a turning point in Human Civilization. We have been around long enough to begin putting every aspect of Humankind into a global context; to see what the true power of togetherness can achieve. It is quite clear what waging war against each other results in—separation of nations and ultimately separation of society. Why not try something new, something innovative? Set an example. Why not live up to the hope that was instilled in the American people during the 2008 presidential elections? What happened to that hope, President Obama? You asked us to stand up and believe in ourselves; to believe in change. You told us to have hope. Well here we are still hoping for change only to be rewarded with the same bureaucratic nonsense that was indisputably one of the main causes of this whole economic disaster—political negligence of capitalism gone horribly awry. Earn that prize, Mr. President, and stand with us as we have stood for you. It is through you that we have channeled this hope for a better future for not only America, but global society as a whole. Do not abuse this power as so many have before you. We believe in you and deserve the same in return. Now is the time for us to build the foundation of our future together—Mr. President, Congress, Citizens of the United States and ultimately, the Citizens of Earth. Now is the time for us to stand unified in a global effort and not only promote, but sustain unwavering social relations. As John Lennon once wrote, “You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one; I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.” It is my dream that in my lifetime, we will truly dissolve our differences; blind ourselves to race, color and creed, and build a future together, globally that will insure well-being, technological and intellectual advancement for all generations to come. Together we can do this. Together we shall stand.
