Subject: [exopolitics] World Parliament and the Extraterrestrial Presence Aloha All, I recently received news of a Constitution for the Federal of Earth that is circulating the internet. http://www.worldparliamentgov.net/constitution.html It's quite an interesting document and I thought I would share my thoughts on it and how it relates to exopolitics. The document is well thought through and demonstrates the thinking of a number of forward looking individuals wanting to deal with global problems in a systemic way. The idea of a global federal government is not new and has been championed by a number of non- government organizations over decades. The organizers are generally a combination of global visionaries, humanitarian organizations and lawyers with a constitutional background. Basically, if you combine a bunch of well meaning constitutional lawyers, global visionaries, humanitarians, and give them ample resources you then get something like this document. I've met with organizers from a number of NGO's or 'citizen organizations' over the years such as the World Federalist Society and they strike me as quite dedicated and very sincere. In answer to the obvious question over the role of the New World Order, I've found that such organizations have no direct connection to the illuminati and efforts to orchestrate a New World Order. Organizations such as the World Federalists have been very prominent in organizing global initiatives such as the International Criminal Court, the Global Land Mines ban, and support global initiatives such as the banning of Space Weapons, etc. I've noticed that the idea of a world federal government arouses intense passion since some believe federalism is the answer to global problems, while others believe world federalism is the way to global domination and rule by negative ETs or even the Anti-Christ for those with a religious upbringing. Now some including me have tried to distinguish between 'global governance' and 'global government' to steer through this intense debate. Global governance is basically where governments, citizen organizations and communities work together to be effective, while global government is something like what we see in this World Constituion document. It's not clear that global governance has failed at this point, it just hasn't been allowed to succeed. Global government of course is what the New World Order want which is why efforts to make the UN effective have dismally failed, and why coordination between local communities, NGOs and governments have not always been successful. Presently, I think that my main objection to this World Constitution is that it is merely a technical solution to a spiritual problem. As long as humanity continues to live under a capitalist system that commodifies everything and prevents brotherly/sisterly ties from influencing our daily lives and motiviating government policy, then we will continue to have global problems. Once we get our house in order and start to live the great French revolutionary slogan of fraternity, then we'll go a long way to solving global problems. Even if this World Constitition was adopted tomorrow, the global elite and the captains of industry would find a means to subvert it and continue to set up an imbalanced global system which perpetuates elite control. Any technical solution to global problems can be subverted. Some of the provisions in the document are also quite naive and unrealistic. This is especially the case when it comes to expolitical issues so let me know focus on that. The document assumes that a World Disarmanent Agency would abolish all WMD from major powers. How would the World Government deal with the US and Russian shadow governments for example? Simply tell them to open up their secrets and black projects? I doubt that would succeed due to the vast military infrastructure created to deal with extraterrestrails and the very real belief by many in the national security agencies that we need to have military defence ready to defend humanity against ETs in case this was ever needed. While I disagree with this way of thinking, I know that's how many inside the secret government think, and merely telling them to be nice and comply with this new global federal government would not work. It's quite naive and we need to come up with a strategic solution to the ET presence, rather than a constitutional or ethical solution which the shadow government will ignore (for more on this idea, see http://www.exopolitics.org/Study-Paper-7.htm ) The issue of extraterrestrials is an area where not surprisingly the World Constitution is silent and basically reflects the naivette of the general public over exopolitics. How does one deal with ETs and the govenrment secrecy over decades? Not a mention of this yet it is undoubtedly the greatest travesty of justice we have witnessed in human history. ETs come to our planet to offer assistance when we develop weapons of mass destruction that can destroy our civilization and affect space (atomic/hydrogen bomb), yet this is kept secret since that would damage the interests of the global elite who control the oil industry, pharmaceuticals, etc. To make matters worse, the global elite make agreements with the wrong ETs, suppress info from the friendly ETs and intimidate into silence those who interact with friendly ETs. Finally, the world constitution document is 'human centric'. What of representation for other sentient species on Earth, the cetaceans, the animal kingdom, the subterranean civilizations, and finally of Gaia herself if we accept the Gaia hypothesis proposed by James Havelock? Who will represent these constituencies in such a World Government? We need to transform our thinking if we want to change the planet and can't simply assume that putting together a new system of federal global government based on the US Constitution and European charters with humans representing themselves as the owners of the planet will solve globla problem. That would be like reorganizing the chairs of a sinking ship since basically we have to confront the reality of other sentient species on our planet if we want to deal with global problems and with the ET presence. I think we have much work to do in changing the consciousness of humanity first before we come up with the right technical solution such as a world federalist constitution. I think that documents such as this are a good start since they spark the imagination and get people looking at the problems, but they are not the ultimate solution and barely scratch the surface of the exopolitical issues humanity has to deal with.
