Global Justice for all life on the planet
by Germain Dufour, with the Global Community
The Global Community Global Justice Movement has many inter-related components: monetary, social, economic, environmental, democracy, and peace. The Global Community Global Justice Movement
promotes new thinking to benefit all economies and societies – the true, fair, democratic and efficient solution to poverty. The Global Community has the productive resources to eliminate poverty and
injustice. Humanity is now in the process of developing the democratic and transparent communications infrastructure which can bring this about.
Our approach transcends left-wing/right-wing designations. We see both conventional capitalism and socialism as being two arms of a philosophy which concentrate power in an elite, to the detriment of society
as a whole. Reforming the current money system, to empower each and every person, is a first step for justice. |

Global Warming: driving governments to take action , by John Bunzl – ISPO Founder, Trustee and Coordinator,
jbunzl@simpol.org
Simpol promotes the Simultaneous Policy (SP), which aims to deliver social justice around the world, resolve global problems like environmental destruction and regulate the economic power of international capital for the good of all. Simpol seeks solutions to problems that individual national governments cannot resolve by acting alone.
Global warming is now at the top of the political agenda. But why aren't governments taking the necessary action?
Because any nation legislating to curb the emissions of its industries will make its economy "uncompetitive" with other countries, thus risking investment and jobs moving elsewhere. |

Letter sent: Indian Farmer Leader On India-US Pact On GMOs , by Krishan Bir Chaudhary
and published by ASHOK B SHARMA, Indian Society For Sustainable Agriculture Indian Express Newspapers (Mumbai) Ltd.
I am sending a brief note on "US-India Agricultural Knowledge Initiative" agreement on agriculture for your kind perusal. The entire agreement is shroud in mystery and the
farmers of the country have serious apprehensions about the real intent and motive of the joint agreement. Indian Agricultural Scientists have done a very splendid job through years
of sustained research. Their scientific acumen and compatibility can match the best of faculty in the world. This agriculture agreement will oblige our scientist to became a tool in the hands of the multinationals for advancement & promotion of their interest in India. I would like to give a
brief on the entire gamut of the US-India agreement as the matter concerns India's sovereignty and the future of Indian agriculture.

Resource Wars: Can We Survive Them? , by Stephen Lendman ,
lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net Countercurrents.org
This article addresses reckless living unmindful of the consequences. It's about endless wars and resources they're waged for. It's about gaining control of what we
can't do without, but must learn to, or we'll risk losing far more, including the planet's ability to sustain life. If we reach that point, it won't matter except to
resilient beetles and bacteria free at last from us. Instead of being an asset, superior human intelligence has us on the brink of our own self-destruction. |

Deaths In Other Nations Since WW II Due To Us Interventions, by James A. Lucas , published in Countercurrents.org ,
After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few people at that time attempted to promote a balanced perspective
by pointing out that the United States had also been responsible for causing those same feelings in people in other nations, but they produced hardly a ripple. |

A Predator Becomes More Dangerous When Wounded, by Noam Chomsky, with The Guardian, and published in Countercurrents.org
For the US, the primary issue in the Middle East has been, and remains, effective control of its unparalleled energy resources.
A US attack on Iran would effectively launch WWIII. The US invasion of Iraq virtually instructed Iran to develop a nuclear deterrent. The message was that the US attacks at will, as long as the target is defenceless.
Then again, a predator becomes even more dangerous, and less predictable, when wounded. In desperation to salvage something, the Bush administration might risk even
greater disasters. It has created an unimaginable catastrophe in Iraq. It has been unable to establish a reliable client state within, and cannot withdraw without facing the possible loss of control of the Middle East's energy resources.

Losing Focus: Peace And Justice Movement In Britain At Crossroad, by Ramzy Baroud, author of The Second Palestinian Intifada: A Chronology of a People’s Struggle published in Countercurrents.org
I believe that the action of a true peace and justice activist must stem from concern for humanity, not from racism and prejudice; however, to suppress freedom of expression, settle personal grievances at the expense of a most colorful and ideologically diverse movement, thus the honorable cause it stands for,
is to do an immense disservice to all of us concerned with bringing to a halt a most bloody and raging conflict in the Middle East. |

In our May 1st, 2006, press release,
we have promoted our definition and meaning of 'global politics'. Global politics now exist because what is happening at the United Nations (U.N.) is totally unacceptable.
Very powerful military groups and other types of powerful lobbying groups basically 'run' the U.N. Those with the money run the UN. That in itself is an acknowledgment of defeat
of the part of an organization such as the U.N. that is supposed to be representing and protecting "the Peoples" rights; universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; and the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
We see none of that! We see chaos. We see international politics, governments worried only about their own self-interests, bullying from nations with the most
powerful military, and we see an unsustainable future ahead. It has become clear that the U.N. has promoted a culture of violence, waste, mismanagement and corruption which
cannot reform itself. Lobbying groups would never allow a thorough reform of the U.N. organizational structure and of its ways of doing things in the world.
The world wants an organization dedicated to the welfare of all Peoples and to the protection of the Earth's environment and the
global life support systems. Such an organization must not be governed by powerful lobbying groups.
We see entire nations making choices based on what is good for themselves, today self-interests, versus what is good for the next generations and all life on the planet. In
other words, they make choices between international politics versus global politics. International politics are driven by national interests, self-interests,
and powerful lobbying groups, while global politics are about the survival of all of us on the planet.
Global politics is about doing what is right for humanity and all life on the planet.
Global politics is about doing what is right for all of us now and in the future, and for all life on the planet. We base our understandings and actions on principles we all know are rights deep down. You cannot have a nation invading
another nation for its resources? its water? its oil and gas? We have chaos without principles! We have conflicts and wars. There are ways of doing things that will give everyone a good survival chance. There are global equitable
and sustainable solutions. War goes against global sustainability and global peace.
Global politics are meant to guide us on the right path. They are meant to bring humanity on a safe ground. They are about the survival of all of us of the planet. This is what people who work hard, pay their taxes and play by the
rules want from their political leaders. You don't expect politicians to be perfect. But you do want to know that your tax dollars - money you've worked for - are being spent properly and wisely.
The U.N. and all its related organizations have failed humanity and all life on Earth on many levels:
1. the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was designed to cover major crimes against humanity and all life on Earth;
it should be replaced by the Scale of Human and Earth Rights;
2. corruption, mismanagement at the highest levels, and bad global governance;
3. promotion of the military option, war;
4. allowing the genocides of several peoples;
5. the business of deceiving, making believe, controlling without a democratic mandate from the Global Community;
6. the U.N. is operating using precepts dating back 2000 years and developed by the Roman Empire; those precepts best suit the invasion
of nations and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the Earth environment;
7. the absence of proper governance and justice at the U.N.; and
8. the use of trickery to deceive the world and subdue nations.
Seeing such a mess, GCEG had no other choice than to research and develop the Global Constitution,
and to enforce Global Law.
GCEG had no other choice than to research and develop a proper system of governance for all of humanity.
We want to shut down the UN. We have now replaced it by the GCEG.
