{ I am unhappy with the current look of this page, I find the points made worthy of consideration and presentation,
but the page/content itself feels overly "wordy". When time presents I intend to edit and reduce to a bullet
point format in order to try and reduce by half the current word count.} Please
consider reforms listed as being intended to be implemented not only nationally, but for our purposes on an international
basis where applicable. The list of reforms we have published here are the result of work product
completed over 15 years ago. Records indicate March, 1992.
Stage One 1.) Require that large Mega-news media corporations are
broken up. Reason: Non- biased news media entities are literally critical to the healthy
function of a democratic society. Providing accurate information, being constantly vigilant
against processes that can degrade our freedoms, continuing to dig for greater truth and understanding is a sacred duty of these organizations. ( I have always been troubled by mega- news/media providers controlled or owned by billionaires
or large media corporations.. To me, they demonstrate far to often a lack of being in touch with the needs
of mainstreet & our global society.) Look at our world today--You can't really say it represents a result of a properly
informed or educated population, or responsible effective governance based upon same. Do we really think this in an end all solution..No it's not, It's meant primarily to get your attention,
the problem is more complicated than this solution indicates. The answer may also require that we also move more in the direction
of requiring news organizations over a certain size to be non-profit in structure, or going back to enforcing healthier market
share formulas as well. Throughout history it has been understood,
and too often acted upon by the sickest members of our society that the ability to control the media, allows you to control
the intellectual processes/opinions/awareness's of the masses, these types of personalities and organizations provide
an almost continuous set of examples of this type of media abuse. Because reasonable people can disagree,
as well as the above mentioned abuses most can see without difficulty, we will state several times throughout this "reform"
topic, about our opinion that the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated...It would be a straight forward way to put a reasonable
check on major media sources being turned into unchecked propaganda machines. There is no perfect solution to this problem but clearly, "if possible?" under who's standards??, breaking up these large propaganda machines
would make it more difficult for these troubled types of people to send out their propaganda to large portions of our
population in easily co-ordinated efforts. Breaking these large media corporations up into smaller entities would also
remove much of the monetary rewards/incentive that can be an enticement, for some, who may be in need of greater respect
for the public service aspect of the news media process. Operating these media entities is a public service and
should be approached as such. When it becomes too much? about profit the product and process can suffer. We also need to enact
"truth in news" provisions, best managed through consumer advocacy groups, similar in size and scope to the Better
Business Bureau, and backed with civil litigation tools available for the worst cases. Additionally when you have a failure
of process, where governments for the people, by the people, switch their apparent focus towards a corporate vs a citizens/societies
best interest through co-opting courts etc... You end up having these types of reforms needed and discussed.(We don't want
government sponsored truth police). Having a consumer advocacy group properly empowered civilly for the most egregious of
instances could be a key component. This should also have a focus extended towards editorial content providers.(As far
as the editorial content issue goes...this is meant to be primarily aimed at the professional pundit, or industry employed
content provider. [Again, included mostly to get your attention] {Please note: 6/20/10 That since our first touching upon this issue years ago, we are seeing a growing
number of processes, similar to those we have proposed coming into being.} It is
in this area that a return to the "Fairness Doctrine" would be a helpful tool to in trying to restore
an improved balance to this part of the editorial process.(Really, it may be all that is needed to restore balance
to the process.) Letters to the editor ect..pretty much hands off, no real change in standards required here.) Varied
opinions always tend to improve the process, however, consistently, in a material fashion, misstating
facts upon which opinions are formed does not. In the U.S. as well as in many other nations, minority groups have formed their
own media watch dog organizations, why not have another dedicated to truth and the presentation of information in a manner
as devoid of propagandist aspects as possible? (Example:) This citizen group or organization
could present "awards" posting annually or quarterly lists of media/news organizations determined to have published
the greatest quantity of intellectually unsound product, as well as "awards" for those who have provided the highest
caliber of work.. So that citizens can quickly see, and better evaluate what is being put in front of them and by whom. An additional reality can perhaps be focused through the following. It has been said that in order for fascism
to take hold in a society, a culture of ignorance must be created, or exist. In the U.S. we see repeatedly reports on the
failure of our educational systems..A well educated, socially aware editorial staff, allowed to do their jobs by their employers.."key
point" is another critical component to a free and healthy media news/information source. In the U.S I suspect that crucial
social awarness have been lost, critical thinking suppressed, with multiple flawed, intellectually unsound pieces being foisted
upon the public. I am not talking about pieces that reflect differing opinions, I'm talking about the massive quantity of
intellectual garbage that the public is being overwhelmed with, work product that would not have made it past, even the most
basic philosophy 101 class in Jr. College. As I have said before there is no perfect solution, what we can do is make it harder
for anyone to gain an unhealthy control over these processes, and then pass themselves off as a valid source of information.
Again, just the reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine would eliminate most of the potential for abuse that we have seen
recently. Because of systemic failures within the effected food industries we have had to enact truth in advertisement and
labeling to keep from being regularly put into the position of putting things into our mouths when we have no reasonable expectation
of what quality it is. How can we be less vigilant when it comes to what we put in our minds? Does this mean we believe that
the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated? If nothing else better can be expected for quick implementation, then yes, it's
not perfect, but it is far better than nothing. Clearly it's removal hastened the corporate medias ability to pander to our
lowest common denominator, with their infotainment, greatly accelerating the dumbing down process. (The internet must be protected as a vibrant source of support, criticism or analysis. Fair Use standards
must be clearly defined, and reasonable use permits must be allowed, so that those interested in providing support, criticism,
or analysis can do so reasonably without having their freedom to express themselves unduly restricted. With far greater
leeway, and consideration given to those entities that operate in an attempt to serve the public interest, and do not
operate for commercial purposes, or gain. Solutions to the Fair Use issue appears straight forward, as long as those
wishing to make use of it's provisions are willing to take steps that recognize and respect, and are designed to protect the
interests of the copyright holder/publisher/content creator. The current "Fair Use" situation is becoming unworkable,
and dangerous to both the unwary lay person and the society they are working in good faith to serve.) 2.) Oil companies nationalized. Reason: The oil companies have demonstrated that they have the ability to continually capitalize
on the failures/weaknesses of our current political structure through what really
amounts to a process of both legal and illegal bribery. These organization have repeatedly demonstrated
that their pursuit of their corporate goals take precedence over the well being of not only
the citizens of the United States, but the citizens of the global community as well. These companies have worked to halt/slow
the development/implementation of many cleaner, environmentally friendly technologies. These efforts over the past 30
years could very easily be seen to be a leading cause of an oncoming global environmental collapse. Furthermore we have seen recently that under current circumstances the process of speculation
in these resources can lead to dire economic upheavals that are devastating to the overwhelming
majority of humanity. Human society, as a measurable majority, has for decades seen no benefit
from the massive profits these corporations have been allowed to pillage from us due to their overwhelming control of the
process. What we have seen is our freedoms slowly destroyed as these companies continue to flex their
growing political might through our corrupt political system. As we have seen a continual failure of oversight of
our financial institutions, we see similar failure here. Management/control of critical resources that have the
ability through mismanagement, to negatively impact humanity on such a massive scale cannot be allowed to exist without being
directly answerable to the people they serve, with any "profits" also being directed
for the benefit of the people. The economic resources these organizations command must be seized and immediately put to use for
the creation of healthier infrastructural needs. (This was
not a part of our 1992 reform package, but clearly it is an action that must be taken if the people
want to reclaim their birthright of recognized freedoms and civil rights. As well as taking a positive direct action to improve
the functioning of the democratic principles in regards to the U.S. Republic.) 3.) Election/campaign finance reform: Elections to be made publicly
funded events. Minimum of four candidates per contested position required. Failure
to place 4 candidates from different parties on the ballot shall require position to remain vacant.
Election funding/spending limits set that cannot be surpassed, and shall in all matters be equal. Media
access costs to be strictly regulated for purposes of equal access and non-favoritism. Only top 4 candidates from different
parties to be eligible to receive public funding in the general election. More than four parties may of course run, but
they will need to be privately funded, and under no circumstance shall the funds they
raise or expend be allowed to exceed those limits set for the publicly funded candidates.
All loop holes related to this issue shall be vigorously eliminated. Top four primary contests shall
also be publicly funded. Qualifications for this funding shall be based upon voter registration listed party affiliations.
Again, other parties may of course participate, they will need to be privately funded. Same rules will
apply to spending limits for privately funded campaigns in the primaries as those in effect for the
general elections. Reason:
Healthy, honest democratic processes cannot survive as a "free range entity" in any
society in which a particular economic model has been allowed to gain an unhealthy level of control over the
political process. In the U.S. that currently means the capitalistic model. . Common sense, as well as
past history has shown us that capitalistic based organizations will always seek to gain advantage through
the political process, using their economic power in an unhealthy fashion. The forces of competition
for survival and self interest demands this under current rules of engagement that have been allowed to be tolerated due to
the successful dumbing down of human society. Political processes must be enacted that recognize, and protect the democratic process of choice/reason from undue influence that will always manifest given enough time,
regardless of the dominant economic model in place at the time. (I have been asked my opinion on the current trend of U.S. courts ruling that "in general, as constructed
so far", and this is a quick summary...that "attempts to create a model for publicly funded elections are unconstitutional
as the funding restrictions involved constituted a violation of free speech" While I do not necessarily disagree with
this argument as it has been applied to date in what apparently have been poorly constructed publicly funded election models, I
find this in no way provided the grounds to dismiss the need for such an evolution..The effort just needs to be created/regulated
in such a way that no sane person would have reasonable grounds to proclaim that a candidates free speech rights had been
violated--I believe you will find that those that would object to this approach are the same folks that have made it necessary..IE-large
corporate interests.)I wanted to add that I have had a chance to look at the publicly funded elections provisions recently
overturned in Arizona, it was an addendum to what is currently on the books, it sought to provide a source for matching funds
for publicly funded candidates that found themselve being out spent by a significant margin, by their privately funded opponent....In
this overturned law/Act/attempted regulation,(2011)-"rescue funding", what it unfortunately looks like to me,
is that our courts are clearly pandering to corporate lobbying efforts, rather than trying to protect free-speech in the U.S....The
overturned law in question appears to have not done anything to limit free speech, but in fact was trying to do what we seek, guarantee
free speech for processes and candidates that do not have the same access to funds as the more well financed/corporate
campaigns. It sought to level the playing fields, and thus strengthen the democratic process, make it about the strength of
an idea or concept. troubling..troubling... (7/10/11) 4.) Balanced budget protocols stringently implemented. Due
to conditions created by the Bush administration this may no longer be safe to implement as a stage one process, it may require
that this be implemented in conjunction with later stage proposals. Reason: Our political leaders have demonstrated
to an overwhelming and consistent degree that under existing rules of operation they are incompetent
to a terminally unsupportable degree when it comes to budgets, and areas of fiscal oversight that directly impact the citizens
of the United States. One of the historic stop gaps when conditions get as bad as they are now is a taxpayer revolt. Current
rules of operation have allowed massive malfeasance to continually occur without the majority of the taxpayers/citizens being
able to quickly track and effectively respond to the abuse/failure of process. This has allowed disaster after disaster to
occur with the full extent of the damage only being able to be discovered by the effected citizens when it is too late to
do anything to correct the situation. A balanced budget process, when linked to our other reform proposals
would quickly eliminate the large scale size of the failures and also provide a process to lower the high rate of the individual
failure events. 5.) All Federal income
taxes eliminated, replaced in favor of a national sales tax. Please note:
It is at this time the opinion of The Sunrise Foundation that the Bush Tax cuts have been unprecedented
in their contribution to the growing disparities between the haves and have nots, as well as being contributory
to the ongoing assault against our middle class. We take this into consideration in our reform proposals. Also a sales
tax is only unfair if it is created in a way to be so. Reason: With intent or without intent, bureaucracies/governments will always,given time, grow into entities,
that will, without management and oversight, assisted with strict regulations geared to the
protections of our freedoms and privacies, become abusive to those same freedoms and privacies expected
and valued by the citizens of a free society. The Federal Income Tax, has allowed a monster
of an abusive organization to come into existence, the IRS. It has become, even with new laws on
the books helping to protect taxpayers from most of the abuses experienced through the mid 90's and
beyond, a entity that is a power unto itself. However strongly chained one generation of citizens may be able to restrict
it's harmful and abusive potential, these potentials continue to exist as long as it does. The only sure way to eliminate
the potential for abuse, inappropriate invasions of privacies, the constant fear that such an organization promotes through
it's mere existence, is to eliminate it completely. As long as our system has at it's funding core a
system of taxation, as a free people, we must demand that this process of taxation be as non-threatening
and as non-invasive as we can create. A national sales/consumption tax is the simplest and the most effective way to
go. Create it in a way so as to strongly protect the lives of those making due with lower incomes. We apologize for not
being able to eliminate the accounting requirements of the effected business owners, but we consider this to be a small price to bear in order to eliminate/greatly down size an organization, the
IRS, that has no business being allowed to exist in a free society. By taking this action we remove at least 90% of the
potential victims of abuse from being in reach of this organization, vastly negating it's negative impact
on our society. Our research to date has indicated that the first modern/recent organization to organize and promote this
type of solution, in the last approx. 50 years, was in fact the Church of Scientology,(This
is not an endorsement, just a statement of what our research has revealed to us, to date,)-they, the Scientologists, rightly
recognized the need to eliminate the potentials for, as well as the actual, abuse/abuses that the current
system represented. As far as we can tell, our efforts came next in the early to mid 1990's, with much
of those that followed apparently adopting much of our tech-no speak, and phraseologies. The possibility
for this to have been the result of a convergent multi origination evolutionary process is also possible, it would be
interesting to look into all origins more when time allows. (We
want to add that it appears, in our opinion, that much of the very recent fair tax, and sale tax, [circa 2008], presentations
look like an effort to sell something to the U.S. citizen that would have potentially allowed the "fat
cats" of the capitalistic system to make a clean escape with any ill gotten gains recently pilfered
out of the U.S. and global economies, at the expense of the U.S. and global citizens. The
Sunrise Foundation is working to stop such efforts.){We also We
believe that in order to repair the damage caused by Bush Jr's tax cuts that it would be fair to rescind those tax cuts for
the wealthy, also if the national tax plan that we would like to see came into being tomorrow, that having in place a continued
temporary income tax for the wealthy would make sense until the strength of our middle class has been restored to it's needed
numbers and vigor, and strong continued growth curve, any cancellation of such a tax should also be delayed until we have
provided our at risk citizens a stable funding base for needed entitlement programs, and we are able to give our nations disabled
or ill, resources upon which they can actually support themselves at above poverty levels, with real and effective health
care.} 6.)
Create Bureau of Special Projects and Resource Management. (The B.S.P. & R.M.) The purpose of this new cabinet level organization
will be to monitor and track the existence, creation, distribution of all national and international
resource related issues, be they human, animal, natural, or manufactured. The B.S.P. organization
will also be responsible for individual management coordination of all domestic projects, that shall
be managed under regional sub offices, that will come into existence as the reforms The Sunrise Foundation
recommend are implemented. The B.S.P. will also be responsible for providing the means for international
cooperation and coordination as similar programs come on line globally with our international
neighbors. Reason:
We believe that the healthy evolution/progress of human society will be best served by working
to create/allow what we believe to be a much needed evolution/change in our national/international economic
processes. This includes how we manage the reality of modern currency. We are working to help bring
about what can be seen as perhaps being a system within a system. 1 part being a free market, capitalistic society, governed
under the principals of a democratic constitutional republic, the second part being
governed and operated under the auspices of the governments of the international community, recognizing
the realities possible under the Sunrise Foundations definition of "Realistic Monetarism".
This second part would require the creation of an organization like the B.S.P & R.M to
see that resources, both human and natural, and the projects they create are distributed equally across
the globe. ( We recommend a formula based upon a recognized base value that is the product of population
size as well as the land area/natural resources of the nation to which resources are being allocated.There
should also be included in this formula a process that rewards those societies that have "in a progressive fashion"
put into place policies that achieve first a zero population growth rate followed by a process of population reduction. )
A target global population of 6 billion looks like a number that could be sustained with very attractive standards of living
being achievable and sustainable. However if we lose control of a collapsing earth environment the actual sustainable human
population could actually drop well below 6 billion before environmental stability was re-established..that is if it can be,
and we can avoid an extinction event. It is also important to consider individual economic zone..economies..I.E. stimulas
able to be absorbed, sustainable growth rates, ect..Based upon GNP %, ect.. Under processes of "Realistic Monetarism",
for purpose of discussion, one method that "created funds" could be specifically targeted would be through a process
of establishing industrial/economic codes & zones. Funds could be released and managed through the specific ability
to target specific geographic areas as well as specific "job/industry" classifications. Excess funds/currency could
be extinguished through specially targeted taxes applied through the same targeting process. 7.) Require by law that four times per year,(once per quarter), the Chairman
of the Federal Reserve, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Comptroller of the Currency shall, during prime time, address the nation via television, covering all topics related to
the discharge of their duties, and the current state of economic affairs. It may also be appropriate
to have some time set aside so that questions may be presented from the audience/viewers. Reason: Knowledge will set you free. We live in a world that is needlessly barbaric.. Harmful to an extent and in
degrees that is not physically needed..I.E. Self inflicted!! Why? How? Because we have as an overwhelming
majority of our population forgotten, given up, been distracted away from, a working knowledge of critical truths behind our
currency control systems. We have surrendered perhaps even forgotten 90% ?? of the joy and potential
that the gift of human existence should represent, we have done so while we have allowed small groups of people to turn the
human condition into that which is comparable or reserved for uncared for animals. The above mentioned step/s would be
a much needed aspect of the re-education effort that must be undertaken if humanity is to regain
it's heritage/birthright and overcome the staggering difficulties with which we are now faced. (Update-
1/14/12) We began dissemination of these proposals,(#7), a couple/few years ago..Since then, recently...The Federal Reserve
has begun to implement stages of these recommendations as well as the frequency of same. 8.) Pass the required laws so that when government spending is desired to exceed the funds
taken in through processes of taxation, that a full budgetary disclosure is to be made to the public.
This will be required to lay out in detail how each dollar is to be spent. Each party represented in
the congress, will be allowed to put forth their deficit spending proposal. It will be accepted
that the executive branch's desires shall be represented in the proposal put forth by the party to which
they belong. Finally, in a national process similar to that seen in state wide ballot measure elections, a national
election will be held. The proposal that receives the most votes will be the proposal/budget
addition that is put into place. A none of the above choice is also to be offered. No "deficit" spending may
be allowed to occur without voter approval. Reason: Control of this process must
be returned to the people. The past failures especially those seen recently drive home the
necessity of this at this time. Also current technology has finally reached the point that
such a process could be implemented in a cost effective manner. A critical portion of
this process as well as in the reform process referred to in our seventh reform item, would be the inclusion of comprehensive reports on resource availability and sustainability. An
impact statement. This report shall include the impact in the effected areas of focus for
not just our nation but on the international community as well. Upon the creation of the B.S.P & R.M. it would be the
holder of this cabinet level position that would provide this portion of the report and be included in the quarterly reports
mentioned under reform number 7. It is also clear that in areas of "deficit" spending that significant portions
would need to be regulated through international treaty.
9.) We also believe that an important reform would be in the area of how
we grant tax exempt status to various organizations. Organizations that discriminate, be they a church, or a social organization
should be stripped of any tax exempt status they may possess. These discriminatory organizations should be precluded
by law from being granted tax exempt status if they are found to discriminate against protected classifications at either
the local, state, or federal level. Reason:
While we have a shared history that has shown us repeatedly the importance of free speech, free association,
and has demonstrated many times how in difficult times our faith in these principals has helped to restore needed balances
to our society. We are under no moral obligation to be forced to provide financial support that originates
either directly or indirectly from the tax funds of the general populace to organizations that fail to adhere to more enlightened philosophies that recognize the importance of non-hate based processes that work
to eliminate the harmful societal effects of discriminatory, exclusionary values/thought programming.
Stage 2 What has taken place within, and
without the U.S. from time to time. we see movements/organizations being brought into existence by those
that considered themselves to be the "elites"??of the human species. One of which adhered to a particularly sick
philosophy that became more prominent in the U.S. over a hundred years ago, this disturbing view point pretty much stated
that "peasants" non-elites were too stupid to be educated to the level required to handle the decisions that
a "free" society, would require. That making this effort would be just too complicated for the
"little people." What circumstantial evidence indicates is that a "process/processes?, may then have
been established, by these same "people"? specifically intended,or which has had the
unintentional effect of making this viewpoint a reality. What is the circumstantial evidence? Simply the current
state of affairs..evironmental, social, political..etc.far too many extremely unhealthy processes now exist in our society
that eliminate not only the effectiveness of well thought reform efforts, but their discussion, or even their maintenance
when implemented. (What's the status? Is there
an ongoing effort/conspiracy?) At this point the size and complexity of our society makes it hard to say. These people over
time have been linked to other groups that still exist, and have concerned many for decades. So are these people/organizations
still active/making a negative impact on our lives? ) This
is a question that we believe should at least be thought about. If only for people to expand their historical knowledge
base of what has gone before, and as to the negative, what do these processes look like. I have said it before and I'll
say it again---In order to stay grounded it helps to remember the quote of Napoleon..."Never atribute to malice that
which can be explained through incompetence" What we do know is
that we have finally reached a point, due to the numbers of our population that have succumbed to (a/this)? process?, allowing themselves
to become "Jerry Springerized" to the extent that the movie "Idiocracy" has become a shockingly real parody
of our society. We see a growing number of editorials, that pose the question, "have we finally become too
stupid, as a society, to function/survive/govern ourselves?" It
is natural for people to band together for mutual support, we have been doing so from the time our ancestors huddled around
campfires while wolves howled in the night. In modern society this process continues...It is the
duty and responsibility of the people to "remain eternally vigilant against the stealthy encroachment" on our collective
freedoms, intellectual and otherwise. Again, just one purpose of this
website, perhaps needed, perhaps not, is to aid in the preservation of independent thought outside of the collective. Just
one additional place that a person can find information? a protected flame? In a world that produces some pretty gusty winds. When a society has reached the point that it has been successfully conditioned to look only inward
rather than outward as well, where it shows signs of questioning less, demanding less, and
accepting daily an ever shrinking definition of the potentials of their human experience/life it has reached the point that
maintaining a free, enlightened society will be a functional impossibility. This society will no longer have the
"strength" to lift the required "weight", nor will they even consider the question of, is there a
"weight" that should be lifted. It is the opinion of this writer, that based upon all available evidence, when you look
upon the above mentioned condition as a disease, The Republican party is
rotten with it, looks almost like it's terminal. Just look at McCains pick for V.P. . The Democratic party
is very badly infected as well, but recovery may still be possible, some small signs are showing that the infection may not
occupy the majority of the host at this time. Way too early to make an accurate determination, have to wait until after the
election. (8/4/10, I said awhile ago that if we were still stumbling
around "real and comprehensive economic/environmental reform implementations two years into President Obama"s administration..that
we would be in serious trouble. Some steps have been taken..not near enough..not going to point fingers, plenty of responsibility
to go around..while "rate of decent" has been slightly "decreased" impact is still not "survivable?"
at this time. Upcoming election cycle will provide important data concerning
future of US, global community, role of national major media sources..are people paying attention?? Are they tracking the
important issues..ect.. Update: 11/23/10, November
2010 election results and polling data provide grim indicators... can things improve over course of next couple of years?
It's not impossible...Just unlikely, and processes of decay and destabilization will continue if not checked. On to Stage Two.
Stage Two The first stage of our reform process is geared towards creating
dialog, and raising awareness levels concerning the control functions present
in our global currencies. This will we hope help raise philosophically the actual
potentials for change that are present in our global economic structures, and
how making the changes now, that we have discussed, may very well make the
difference in our success or failure as a species on this planet. There are people
that fear globalization, they hold this word out as some kind of boogy man seeking
to destroy us all. Let's grow up just a bit. Globalization is a fact of life,
it's here, it's growing, it is the future. The only question is in what shape,
in what capacities will it solidify/emerge into our daily consciousness, or lives.
How this reality arrives, how it impacts us, our freedoms, the quality of our lives,
is the next thing that people should be talking about and influencing now. Global governments,
the collective "we" where applicable, have really made a mess of things here on planet
earth. It will only be through working together as a global team, towards a common good
that we will overcome the problems that we now face. We need to be rational, calm, and be open
to the best ideas and arguments. Failed processes need to be identified, and intellectually honest,
non-hypocritical corrective dialog engaged.
A.) Recently a number of discussions have taken place over should the world adopt a single currency? We believe this to be the correct direction our currencies should
go. What we have stated is that rather than go directly to a single currency we need
to simply physically link our individual currencies through international treaty so
that they function as if they were a single currency. This approach is emotionally
more easy to accept. Cultural variety, when base line recognition of human rights are
recognized and enforced, Is a source of strength that should be respected
and valued for the positive that it is. Reason:
The current currency control situation makes it very difficult to put in place a global resource distribution process that
is as equitable as it needs to be. The current structure is difficult to maintain and lacks the stability
required for accurate tracking and measurement. Furthermore the current situation clouds the needed perception of "do we have the sustainable resources to do what is needed"
and in fact helps keep us locked into a destructive perception of reality, "do we have enough
money". As if money continued to be a physical resources like a bushel of corn, or a gallon of
milk. By switching over to a strict currency linkage such as we recommend, we would create the tool
needed to implement globally the process under our definition of "Realistic Monetarism". In Europe there has been some problems the European nations have had with their conversion to
the Euro.. Some have been related to the fact that while a common currency has been created, the management/control sytems
between the various countries do not have the same capabilities as we have here in the U.S. between our states. Seems to me
that this is an oversight that should be corrected so that European nations are better able to defend their economies from
similar failure events in the future. Also the Obama administration has recently been suggesting that the U.S. pass/adopt
what is being called "The Volker Rule or proposal", I agree that this should be done, I don't think it should be
called the Volker rule ect.. as it is designed to pretty much restore financial regulations that were abolished in aprox 1999--
which overwhelmingly helped contribute to the global financial meltdown we have been working through.
B.) Fully discretionary spending only allowed on national revenues
derived directly from funds collected from annual national processes of taxation. Allotted spending in traditionally (deficit related categories)would now be required
to be made under categories that are humanitarian, ecosystem support and restoration
ect. Within these categories, which would be further defined under international treaty,
a nation would have the use of their own discretion, but all processess under these
guidlines would be monitored through continuous international process.
This page is under construction, hope to have it finished soon. Our process will be to list the various reforms
in loose stage groupings for visualization purposes. Stage one, stage two, etc.. We will also be adding to the reforms
we list, a general explanation for the reasons we believe they are needed. Update: 9/9/08 The original author of
the information that we are attempting to transfer to this site, is a current victim of a vigilante process of assault through
the co-option of corrupt aspects of their local government and/or community processes, and what looks like "could
be" criminal community elements. This has negatively impacted the author and has thus created delays in getting
this information to you in a timely manner. We believe that we will be able to complete this page soon, with the authors
help. Corrupt: A definition... Any process that serves to suppress truth, either through
the support of avoid-ant protocols or the establishment of processes legal or otherwise that extract such a high price from
the person or group attempting to speak truth that such an effort cannot be made/sustained or could be expected to lead to
that person or groups financial ruin, incarceration, ect... Criminal:
A definition.... Any person/group or organization that supports directly or indirectly those processes of truth suppression
mentioned above, ect..
