Today, the world is no longer governed by individual and authoritative kings over the ignorant and powerless masses.
The citizens of various countries are establishing, modifying and changing their authoritative governing institutions.
But on the world basis, we are still in lack of a powerful institution to address world problems.
How about forming a virtual world parliament as an embryonic stage to a real world governement in the near future? For example the netzens propose 1000 prominents individuals, then they vote for 50 persons as a virtual parliament. These 50 people receive no salaries, so they will not depend on any physical pressures.
Their work at this primary stage is only to consult on important world problems, and give their collective conclusions on each of them. For example, they give opinions about the preservation of the global environment, and various governments will consider their opinions with more attention, because their voice is the voice of the whole world I've thought about that myself. Here's what I came up with.
The Organization Of Purse String States
The real problem with the United Nations is its corruption. The original idea was a good one, but like the League of Nations before it, the UN has become a useless appendage. The League of Nations had no teeth. The UN, for all intents and purposes, has dentures. It can be, and on occasion has been effective. But more often than not, it has served only as a vehicle for hate and greed.
What has gone wrong? Why is the UN so corrupt and ineffective? For one thing, it really isn't capable of performing its mission as it is currently drawn. It's a great place for nations to talk to each other, and this can be useful in averting some wars. But when two combatants have decided to go at each other, or indeed, if one bully decides to take over one of its neighbors, the UN is simply not equipped to handle the situation. If not for the willingness of the United States to gather small forces of nations and lead them into the breach, the UN would be seen for the paper tiger it is.
But perhaps that isn't surprising. The United States of America furnishes the lion's share of the UN's budget. And coincidentally, or maybe not, the nations who vote with the United States also help out with the UN's budget. The worst-voting nations are also the nations that have no financial stake in the UN.
Perhaps it is time to look again at the UN. We have known for centuries that pure democracies don't last. And the UN is a pure democracy. Every nation has the same vote, regardless of their involvement or interest in global problems. As has been demonstrated over and over again, this is a recipe for disaster. In Korea, the UN was America, with only a smattering of other nations placed in it for color. In Vietnam, the UN was barely visible at all. The Gulf War was conducted almost despite the UN. And yet there were many UN nations involved in that action, brought on board by their own conscience, prodded by the US President. Obviously, the UN has become useless.
Meanwhile, organizations within the UN have become conduits of funding for greedy and corrupt officials who line their own pockets while disaster victims fend for themselves. Medicines are stolen. Food is sold off after having been given freely for the victims. Supplies are redirected and sold off instead of being given to their intended recipients. The UN has become a sick joke.
So is there a solution? I submit that the UN must be disbanded and replaced by a new organization with a new charter. Giving all nations the same vote regardless of their stake in the organization was a mistake. Perhaps a two-tier system should be employed, modeled on America's Electoral College. Non-paying members may vote to bolster paying members who reflect their ideals. Paying members may vote in direct relation to the percentage of the UN's budget that they are paying. As the saying goes, money talks, bulls**t walks. Only nations willing to put their own troops into action on behalf of the UN are allowed into the Security Council. Only nations willing to supply doctors and medicines may join the Health Council. The Economic Council may be the one council in which everyone has a say. Its purpose, however, is limited to finding the best ways of improving the economic system for all nations.
How is all of this supposed to take place? While ideas are a dime a dozen, implementation is the key to making any project come to life. This is where the O.O.P.S.S. comes into play. All of the Purse-String nations that supply funding to the UN must gather into their own organization, similar to OPEC. Then it becomes a simple matter of a vote to stop all funding to the UN, and to begin funding of the Global Republic, a supra-national organization with a global Charter and a State's Bill of Rights. This organization has NO power over individual human beings, and direct taxation of any sort must be completely illegal. The GR must be voluntarily funded by nation members. That's the point, and that is where its power resides.
To prevent corruption in the new organization, Watchers shall be employed, consisting of accountants, detectives, and security guards, some of whom operate independently and anonymously, and who report to all of the Councils within the Republic. These reports are then forwarded to the world's population via the Internet and any news organization that wishes to report on the health of the Republic. Any GR worker who violates any law, steals any amount, or otherwise acts outside of Global Republic interests shall be summarily terminated from their position. Graft in any amount exceeding $1000 will result in immediate execution of the perpetrator.
I believe this could be a viable solution to many of the world's problems. However, none of this will have any effect on terrorists and their actions. This is because they are not a national organization, but a religious one. Islam has, for all intents and purposes, declared war on the world. Its tenants require its followers to conquer or kill all who oppose them. This cannot be allowed, as there are too many other belief systems already extant. It would mean bloodshed on an unprecedented scale.
[lol. You're gonna LOVE this...]
Rather than simply annihilate all muslims, however, perhaps it is time to introduce a new religion to the world. One which includes the basic tenents common to all of the major religions, but which disallows all prejudicial and intolerant beliefs. A religion rooted in the best of all the great Books, from the Bhagda-Vida [sp] through the Bible to a sanitized version of the Koran. A new Creation Account must be assembled, using science and allegory to bring together a comprehensive and accurate account. The ancient stories should all be acknowledged, but the evil segments of ALL the Books shall be repudiated.
Once this comprehensive religion is constructed, any religious activists who violate this worldwide belief system shall be summarily executed. Anyone in posession of unauthorized weapons shall be summarily executed. The price of terror must be increased. If Muslims will not stop their own from killing sprees, they must feel the consequences. Every act of terror shall result in the destruction of an Islamic holy place. Once all such places are demolished, copies of the Koran and individual clerics shall be wiped out one by one. Internet copies are to be converted to sanitized versions that denounce the use of violence.
Damn. I've just created the agenda of the Antichrist! Ever heard of the United Nations? |
