President Obama,

Note:
This is a follow-up to a previous letter sent to you over the months before your re-election as President of the United States of America (see References Section). The following short list shows the work done so far by Global Community concerning the dirty tar sands oil of Alberta, Canada.

Introduction

Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth; they are recorded on instruments called seismographs. Seismographs record a zig-zag trace that shows the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs. The Richter Scale is not used to express damage. An earthquake in a densely populated area which results in many deaths and considerable damage may have the same magnitude as a shock in a remote area that does nothing more than frighten the wildlife. Large-magnitude earthquakes that occur beneath the oceans may not even be felt by humans. An earthquake's destructive power varies depending on the composition of the ground in an area and the design and placement of man-made structures. The extent of damage is rated on the Mercalli scale. Mercalli ratings, which are given as Roman numerals, are based on largely subjective interpretations. A low intensity earthquake, one in which only some people feel the vibration and there is no significant property damage, is rated as a II. The highest rating, a XII, is applied to earthquakes in which structures are destroyed, the ground is cracked and other natural disasters, such as landslides or tsunamis, are initiated. Richter scale ratings are determined soon after an earthquake, once scientists can compare the data from different seismograph stations. Mercalli ratings, on the other hand, can't be determined until investigators have had time to talk to many eyewitnesses to find out what occurred during the earthquake. Once they have a good idea of the range of damage, they use the Mercalli criteria to decide on an appropriate rating The biggest quake in recorded history was the 9.5 quake that struck Chile in 1960. It killed nearly 1,900 people and caused about $4 billion in damage in 2010 dollars. Generally, you won't see much damage from earthquakes that register below 4 on the Richter scale.

Now let me explain where I am going with the above description of measuring an earthquake. Global Community has developed a mean to measure the amount of destruction cause by human activities. Not by Nature! But by human activities! Why is that important? It is important because there are human activities going on in every part of the world. And the world, our planet, can only be pushed to its limits by so much destruction before everyone on the planet suffer extinction. Life extinction! So Global Community has proposed a way to measure human activities of all types and show how important and destructive consequences may be. Global Community already has researched and developed the Scale of Global Rights for people to live by. The Scale tells you what is the most important, and what is the least important for the survival of our species. By accepting the Scale as our first principle, many activities would not be conducted as we would know their destructive effects. Well! That is the idea!

We applied here the above principle and conducted measurements on the actual consequences of the Syrian uprising which started late January of 2011 and the activitiy concerning the production, transportation and burning of the dirty tar sands oil of Alberta, Canada. Of course we deal here with actual facts and events and not on what people are saying in the Media.

We define here a "terrarist" to Global Community as being a person, a group of persons, a business, a government, or an organization that by their activities have had a significant destructive effect on the global life-support systems. This is where the above measurement of the effects and activities come to be useful. For instance, a person such as Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, is a terrarist because of his position as a leader with significant powers over the world and has given hope to a small group of people, also terrarists, who started the Syrian uprising with significant consequences and destruction. A business is called a terrarist business when its activities can bring about signifiant destruction to the global life-support systems. A typical example is of course the businesses listed in this article and involved with the production of the dirty tar sands oil of Alberta, Canada.

Other very obvious activities that qualify as terrarism against Global Community are: economic warfare, population warfare and military warfare. All three aspects have been defined more specifically in July 2010 Newsletter.

Welcome to your Global Community, our unique world and the only legitimate framework for Earth governance and management.

Global Community is a non-hierarchical nonviolent organization of individuals and organizations that promote the arts, conduct workshops, facilitate nonviolent direct actions, educate, organize, campaign, empower, and aim to rip injustice from its roots. We are delighted to receive new articles, papers, reports, art work, comments, animations, games, and Apps for future Newsletters.

We encourage formats including facilitated groups, photographic, poster and dramatic displays dealing with pertinent themes concerned with the promoting of Global Community values and principles and in in the challenges of community and home development. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global sustainability being some of them. They are global commons for survival and a basis for humanity's new vision of the world. Please submit your proposals.

Global dialogues are the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet. We promote democracy, fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human rights abuses. Global Dialogue 2013 theme is concerned about the formation global ministries.

Humanity sees the need to manage world affairs in several aspects of our lives. Today, earquakes, cyclones and other natural disasters, as well as human made global destruction and disasters, require a rapid and efficient response from the world to help those in needs. All of this can be effectively accomplished when the organizational structure of the government of each nation-state includes a Ministry of Global Peace and a Ministry of Essential Services. We can all co-operate together better this way when all people are prepared and able to do so.

Because of the limited quantities of Earth resources to be made available for this generation and the next ones, and because of environmental, climate change, and world population concerns, there is a need to manage the entire process of managing resources. And we all know that the amount of oil left in the ground in the world has already passed its peak quantity. So why waste the oil on doing things we know are nothing but a waste of energy and often use for destruction and certainly will shortened the life span of the next generations. A Global Resources Ministry is needed to look after the management of Earth resources at all stages: exploration, production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution.

Canadian society today includes a vast diversity of cultural heritages and racial groups. This multicultural diversity is a result of centuries of immigration. Truly, the struggle for the making of Canadian multiculturalism is the Canadian experience and the Canadian identity. Canadian multiculturalism is a symbiotical relationship between Canada, the Canadian people, and the world.

Diversity has been a fundamental characteristic of Canada since its beginnings. At the time of European settlement there were more than 60 Aboriginal nations speaking more than 30 languages. As the French and then the English colonized Canada, treaties were signed that acknowledged Aboriginal nationhood. Linguistic duality was enshrined in law at the earliest stages of the development of the Canadian federation. At a time when it was accepted practice to establish sovereignty through war and cultural domination, there were enough Canadians who believed in the virtues of accommodation and mutual respect to ensure that, with some exceptions, Canada would develop peacefully and the foundations of its diversity would be preserved.
