September 27, 2007	Full Text Of Ahmadinejad's Remarks At Columbia University by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Countercurrents.org Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed students and professors at the US Columbia University during his short sojourn in New York before his address at the 62nd meeting of the UN General Assembly. His remarks at Columbia University were almost entirely boycotted by western and specially US media; while he spoke of such crucial issues as Iran's nuclear program and the Holocaust which have always been at the center of western media's attention, almost the only point the US press mentioned about Ahmadinejad's address at Columbia university pertained to a few seconds of his answer to a question about the rights of homosexuals in Iran. The following is the full text of President Ahmadinejad's speech at Columbia University.	Read

September 17, 2007	World - Grid Type, Continuously Under-development - System Dynamics. Why do we need it? by Leslaw Michnowski, Manage the Sustainable Development Global Information Society website. kte@psl.org.pl, elmamba@poczta.onet.pl Committee for Futures Studies "Poland 2000 Plus", Polish Academy of Sciences, Al. 3 Maja 2 m. 164, 00-391 Warszawa Poland, Tel.: +48 22 7681019. +48 601 264 164 The main goal of the United Nations is realization of sustainable development world society vision. Such society would need to integrate social development with economic development and environmental protection. For this end it is necessary to enable sustained economic growth, internalizing externalities and DECOUPLING the range of economic growth from the range of deficit natural resources depletion growth and degradation of environment. It is necessary also to COUPLE economic growth with popular life-quality growth. To achieve sustainable development OF THE WORLD SOCIETY we have to build, a commonly accessible WORLDWIDE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION (SYSTEM DYNAMICS) SYSTEM for: - dynamic monitoring, - long range forecasting, and - measurable evaluation, of policy, economy, work, and other changes effects in life-conditions of human beings and nature in general. I propose a research program aimed at describing conditions of creation such big, grid, multi stage built, information system.	Read

September 12, 2007	What Is Being Stolen From Us All by Jeff Berg Countercurrents.org Once again, this time in Iraq, we see the natural resource wealth of an entire nation enriching none but a criminal class and megacorporations. I will assume a distinction. Once again this is only able to take place as a result of the planned aggression and full cooperation of a government & military that acts as if it is a wholly owned subsidiary of a monied elite. Much the same thing is being done here in Canada but "thanks" to the connivance of significant elements of our corporate and government elite it is being achieved without the need for military force. It should be noted however that to some in the corporate class the missing military element is a major mistake even in Canada as it seriously erodes the huge profit margins possible in war zones and markedly reduces the amount of money that can be transferred from citizens to shareholders in times of military conflict. (The quintessential double dip) Admittedly this is a minority opinion but as Iraq will not be the last to prove not an uninfluential one. Evidence of this influence here in Canada can be seen by the massive increase in expenditures for our military and security industrial complexes over the last few years. NB. Before the Harper government's commitment to a $13 billion increase in military spending Canada’s military spending was the 7th highest in absolute terms in the OECD and 12th overall in the world. If you are skeptical of the claim that Canadians are being all but completely shut out of the benefits of their resource wealth go to the Parkland Institute site and discover for yourself the pitiful fraction the Albertan people receive of their resource wealth compared to the people of Norway. http://www.ualberta.ca/PARKLAND/ For we the Canadian people the situation is an even crueler joke as we receive even less benefit while at the same time bearing more of the brunt of the economic problems associated with being a resource dollar. Aka. Dutch Disease http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dutchdisease.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease And it is all Canadians and especially Albertans and even the rest of the world that are at the same time forced to pick up the massive environmental tab even as the profits flee the province and the country.

September 12, 2007	The End Of The World? by William M. H. Kötke , Countercurrents.org William H. Kötke author ofGarden Planet: The Present Phase Change of the Human Species. See at: www.gardenplanetbook.com and THE FINAL EMPIRE an underground classic book available for free download at: http://www.Rainbowbody.net/Finalempire . We are all looking at the end of the world as we know it. Our attention is focused on the holes in the ozone layer, planet warming, peak oil, the spread of DU weapons, the collapse of the house of credit cards, and the prospect of the planetary financial elite quickly establishing fascist control of the planet. Below this threshold of conscious awareness our biological survival systems are rapidly eroding. At this point some twenty percent of the planet’s soils erode each twenty-five year period. Each year at least two hundred thousand acres of irrigated crop-lands go out of production because of salinization or water-logging and experts say that sixty to eighty percent of all irrigated acreage is due to follow the eight to ten million acres that have historically gone into ruination from irrigation. The total drylands of the planet are 7.9 billion acres of which 61% are desertified, that is, driven by human abuse toward uselessness. Globally, 23% of all arable crop lands have been lost since 1945 through human use and experts say that all arable land on the planet will be ruined in 200 years.	Read
September 12, 2007	Does Our Planet Have Too Many People? by Madeleine Bunting http://www.alternet.org/authors/8621/, published in AlterNet: The Mix is the Message, Environment, Reducing consumption is imperative, but it's pointless to cut out meat and cars while having lots of children. When challenged, environmentalists have coherent arguments to defend their retreat from the population debate. They insist that the pressure on the earth's resources - its water, forests, soil fertility - and carbon emissions are all about consumption and lifestyle, not about sheer numbers of human beings. They rightly point out that the average American produces some 20 tonnes of carbon a year while some of those living in areas of the world with the fastest growing populations, such as Africa, produce a tiny fraction of that kind of carbon footprint. They insist that the earth can support the 9 billion now predicted by 2050 (the increase in the next 40 years will equate to roughly what the entire global population was in 1950) if everyone is living sustainable lifestyles. The focus of campaigning must stay on the consumption patterns of the developed world, rather than on numbers of people.	Read
September 9, 2007	Because humanity has developed jurisprudence systems by which various entities claim legal title to selected segments of the earth, the earth is owned by those entities by John R. Ewbank, johnewb@comcast.net john.1916@yahoo.com hmrl@libertynet.org USA (part of our group discussion by email) Because humanity has developed jurisprudence systems by which various entities claim legal title to selected segments of the earth, the earth is owned by those entities having, under the local jurisprudence, the legal title to various areas. All systems invonving confiscation of such veted property rights can be attacked as "thievery".Rights of eminent domain have permitted government intervention for better use of land, and this involves use not merely for government fbut also for rr and utilities,and other public interests. However, those asserting common ownership and or confiscation must be classified by at least some analysts as thieves.	Read see also
September 8, 2007	Climate Change Solutions: Beyond Science And Above Confines by Abdul Basit, Basit72@gmail.com, Countercurrents.org Along with scientific research, we require political, religious, ideological, cultural, philosophical, economic, social and intellectual coordination. Secondly, since human factor is the main reason for climate change, the transformation in the method of lifestyle and concepts of economic development required is much beyond the scope of science. Most solutions provided by scientific research are very limited in scope such as to fill up our automobile tanks with bio fuels instead of fossil fuels. Such solutions will only aggravate the crises and create new problems. What we need is a total transformation from what we have hitherto followed. This transformation requires the change of the basic concept of materialistic way of life and pursuit of wealth. This can only be achieved by cultivating moral and spiritual values among the society and by replacing materialistic pursuits with holistic and simple way of life.	Read

Charles Mercieca to the Global Community mercieca@knology.net China represents one of the oldest civilizations in the entire history of our earthly society. Its dynasties managed to leave legacies that have enriched the culture of China in many unique ways. By nature, the Chinese are very kind people and they try to be helpful with those around and with those they come across. They also tend to live in peace and to let others live in peace as well. The only ambition the Chinese people seem to have is to see the members of their relatives and friends equipped with all the vital needs of life.	Read

July 25, 2007	How the Political Parties are possible at World level under World Democracy? by Sabzali Khan yusufzai sa_yusufzai@hotmail.com Keeping in view the prevailed political and social Orders of the World it seems to be impossible in the near future that the dream of World Democracy would become true. Because, under the prevailed Orders, the human community is divided in to so many small groups and identity on the base of Nationality, Race and Ideology. All these groups bear on their own Agenda, objectives, ideology and recognition as such it is impossible to unite the present dispersed human community at global level for World Democracy. Therefore, keeping in view the above facts and realities, the human community is hereby recognized on new such grounds that will gradually globalize not only all Citizens of the World for World Democracy but also will leads them to a World Government in the near future. The following 9 (nine) global Parties of the human community are hereby identified on Professional base/ grounds along with their universal rights, responsibilities, frame of work and objective as mentioned below in details	Read

Message from the Editor

The Editor of the Global Information Media is now accepting articles, letters, reports, research papers, discussions and global dialogues, and messages for publication. This Media is a way to communicate workable sound solutions to problems arising in the world. Let us share our problems and workable sound solutions. Sharing information is a necessity to all life and humanity's survival. Our world is changing fast before our eyes, and we must react quickly and hard to protect all life on Earth. No hesitation! Right now and no waiting! Life on the planet is our first priority. We must protect it at all costs. We, global citizens, fight to protect life on Earth for this generation and the next ones. We are the defenders of the environment and the global life-support systems. We know who the beasts are, and how they destroy the living on our planet. We have rallied together all over the world to protect our home, Earth. But this time we are not alone. We know it all! We know how everything works. And we will do whatever it takes to protect life on Earth. "We the Peoples", the Global Community, the GCEG, are the Earth revolutionaries, and we will protect life on Earth at all costs.

This is the main index for the Global Information Media (GIM)

concerning activities of the Global Community.

GIM was organized with more than sixty sections. Each section allows everyone to participate in the Global Dialogue. You pick an issue, and you participate. All sections may contain any of the following information: abstracts, research papers, notes, outlines, videos and other works of art, posters, articles, letters, press releases, reports, and newsletters. They may also contain discussions, global dialogues, brain-storming exercises on issues, or just email messages from interested participants and groups.

We are delighted to receive new articles for future Newsletters from our readers. It is imperative that, if you give us permission to re-print, all or in part, you include all copyright verification of permission of quote. We do not have a copyright research expert to do this work.

Just so you all know we don't pay anyone, and we don't pay expenses. We do volunteer work for humanity. We expect volunteers to be responsible and accountable of all their actions. We do soft activism work. The Global Constitution shows us how to operate our organization. We follow Global Law as shown in the Global Constitution. All those who do volunteer work for us must become familliar with it and become 'global citizens'. We want our volunteers to be completely loyal to the Global Community and to the values and principles we promote.

The Editor.

Message from the Spiritual Leader of the Global Community

The world is in a state of perpetual turmoil. We are worlds within worlds orbiting in and through each other’s space. Our interactions with one another can be planned and executed in a caring, considerate manner so that all may exist and not destroy the other.

A good place to start this day would be to see the people living in far away places as we see our neighbors. Neighbors are people we should see as people very much like ourselves. Love your neighbors as yourself. Many scientists have shown that our genetic make-up as human beings are not that much different than that of many other life-forms. The reality is that we as people are not that much different from one another. Our education and upbringings are different and created cultural and religious differences. Conflicts originate often because of these cultural and religious differences.

My teaching for the day is to make the effort to understand what make us different from one another and find a way to appreciate those differences. We also have to make the effort of understanding other life-forms in Nature and appreciate the differences. Because of brain capacity, we dont expect other life-forms of understanding us, but we do have a moral responsibility of understanding them and appreciate the differences. God loves diversity in Nature and in Souls. God loves good Souls from all cultures and religions, and from all life. Yes there is a Soul in every living life-form and God loves them too.

History of the Global Community organization and Earth Government

1985 to 1988			Part of the period from 1985 to 1988 not shown here has been covered in an other article. Historically, the Earth Community Organization (ECO) was called *The Global Community* organization. The name was changed during the August 2000 Global Dialogue. Thereafter, we used both names as meaning the same organization. The Global Community means the Earth Community Organization and vice versa. Global Community WebNet Ltd. has operated its business under the name of the Global Community for several years and is still doing now. The Global Community organization was first discussed in a report on global changes published in 1990 by Germain Dufour. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists. The Earth Community Organization aims to establish a new, permanent dialogue on measuring and managing sustainable development. It is a grassroots process. Everyone is involved. Everyone is part of the Earth Community. Your views are important. We want to hear what they are. Submitted reports on sustainable development to Green Plan of Canada, the Alberta Government and the United Nations. Submitted to the United Nations the definition and a method of measurement of sustainable development. The method is based on a scale making wide use of hundreds of indicators, indices as well as statistical and field data. Two local / global indicators were developed to measure the quality and cost of development: the Gross Environmental Sustainable Development Index (GESDI) and the Gross Sustainable Development Product (GSDP). Measurements were made and a benchmark for the 21st century was obtained for Calgary, Alberta and Canada. Wrote 450 environmental policies towards the development of the Green Plan of Canada and the Alberta Environmental Protection Enhancement Act, Bill 23. Title of the report: Global Change A grassroots process To develop new policies, and create new mechanisms and strategies, to increase our planet's ability to assure the continuation of life, and to pursue the goal to make Canada, by the year 2000, the world's most environmentally friendly country. The following people and organizations participated directly or indirectly in the development and publication of the Report on Global Change, or/and were given a copy of the report. Lucien Bouchard, Robert de Cotret, Al Johnson, P.L. Black, Harry Brightwell, Jim Prentice, Robyn Youell, Jay Park, Scott Tannas, Dick Cotter, Pam Cholak, Martin Herrington, Dr. Teja Singh, Ina Given, Frank Hickey, Don Dabbs, Rob Nelson, Richard Theissen, Ada Rawlings, Dick Gillespie, James M. Culkin, David Farran, Donna M. Christensen, John Shiry, Christopher S. Davis, Wes Serra, Tim Boston, Michael Lohner, and Stuart Michaelson. Energy, Mines and Resources Canada, Statistics Canada, Environment Canada, Transport Canada, Alberta Environment, Alliance for Responsible CFC, Global Releaf, Worldwatch Institute, International Energy Agency, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Energy Probe, Independent Petroleum Association of Canada, Canadian Petroleum Products, World Commission on Environment and Development, National Task Force on Environment and Economy, United Nations Environment Program, and Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland. Organized a Global Dialogue worldwide requesting both national governments and people of each country to send delegates. Formed 'The Global Community Organization' (also called the Earth Community Organization) and the 'Interim Earth Government'. Germain Dufour elected President. First Global Meeting of the Interim Earth Government was held August 20, 1988.

1989 to 1991			Registered Global Community WebNet Ltd. with the Government of Canada, a federal corporation of Canada, the first corporation on Earth to qualify and obtain one ECO, the Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship, and is a unique way to show the world that our ways of doing business are best for the Global Community. Since 1990, the business has operated under five other names: Property Environmental Consultants Inc., Earth Community, the Global Community, Earth Government and Global Dialogue. Second Global Meeting of Earth Government was held in Calgary, August 15th, 1991.

1992 to 1997			Created the Society for World Sustainable Development. The Global Community Organization made a call on National Governments for participation in the Interim Earth Government. Third Global Meeting of Earth Government was held in Calgary, August 26th, 1995.

1998 to 1999			*The Society for World Sustainable Development* was legally registered as a Society with the Government of Canada on April 30th 1998. Head Office was in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Board of Directors (founders of the Society) Joseph Germain Dufour, President, Consultant on Sustainable Development and Environment Researcher and business person on Sustainable Development, Environment and Energy Professor James S. Frideres, Vice-President Kenneth M. Campbell, Treasurer, Remote Sensing Technologist A. Virginia Conn, Secretary, Retired teacher Felicity Caron, Communication Officer, Artist Witness for the registration of the Society, Diane K. Whitlow, Secretary of Dr. James S. Frideres The Global Community organized a Global Dialogue for developing the best suitable model of Earth Government. Fourth Global Meeting of Earth Government was held in Calgary, August 11th, 1998.

2000 to 2001			Fifth Global Meeting of the Interim Earth Government was held in Calgary, August 19th, 2000. Again Germain Dufour was elected President. Dr. Sue L.T. McGregor was appointed Minister of Family and Human Development for the Global Community. James Mwami was appointed Minister of Water Resources Protection for the Global Community. The Head Offices of 'The Global Community Organization' and the 'Interim Earth Government were moved to Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Drafting of the Charter of the Global Community on basis on alternative choices. Plan agreed for an Interim Earth Government to meet regularly. Global Dialogue 2000 August 17-22, 2000, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and August 1-31, 2002, on Internet. Global Dialogue 2000 was promoting The Global Community organization, the Earth Community Organization (ECO), the Human Family, the Earth Society, (different names for the same organization) with the mandate of managing Earth. The *World Congress on Managing and Measuring Sustainable Development - Global Community Action 1* was about establishing the foundation for a sound Earth Government. We estimate that so far the World Congress and The Global Community concepts have made contact by 'ricochet' with at least a million people throughout the World. We have three mailing lists: the Participants list of about 500 businesses, NGOs, universities, professionals, and the public from 90 countries; an intermediate mailing list of 5,000 "interested" individuals (an 'individual' here may either be a person, a corporation, a NGO, a local community, a group of people, a business, or a government); and finally an extensive mailing list of 18,000 individuals from all countries of the world. Again by the effects of 'ricochet' and chain reaction after creation of new thoughts we will touch the hearts and the minds of the billions of people on Earth. This will happen very quickly. Most likely within a year. The World Congress has broken grounds not only in the number of interested participants but also in its new global dialogue on Earth Management. The hundreds of people who have sent us their research work (280 research papers were submitted) from around the world represent only a part of a great ground-swell of concern for the future of our planet. It is quite possible the men and women who have produced this body of work will go down in history as major instruments of change. We now have 73 Discussion Roundtables divided into the four interacting quality systems: Social(37), Environment(16), Economics(8) and Availability of Resources(12). We went past previous Earth Summits organized by governments who have been focusing only on a specific issue without including the public throughout the world and without taking into account all impacts. We are proposing here to The Global Community that sound solutions to world problems can only be brought forward after analyzing all important interacting impacts. The *Global Community Assessment Centre* (GCAC) publishes monthly reports and articles concerned with Earth governance and management; Global sustainability; the Global Community overall picture; Humanity's new vision of the world.
