Healing A Nation [The World] Now What?
November 17, 2009
The world as everyone on the planet has known it from the beginning of time, is in a state of flux.
Timing for the pivotal events taking place globally, could not be better orchestrated.
As Americans adjust to ‘change’ from business as usual to a global economic calamity; from H1N1 to health care reform, and a place in the global community (not as the world leader, but as a member in common), the world as we have known it itself (the global community), accelerates the Quest for Solutions for global problems that threaten the very existence of Humanity.
People and cultures world wide are clinging to one another in a collective awareness that this time in the history of mankind is unlike any other.
Climate change, availability of resources [food, water, energy], disease, peaceful coexistence , human security and sustainability appears to have taken the front seat over war and power for priorities of concern.
‘Quest for Solutions‘, 2009 September 19 , discusses possibilities as wild cards that could affect a transition into a New Global Order of government.
Russia
Obama’s ‘no quid pro quo’ move to scrap the missile defense program in Europe essentially changed the playing field in Eastern Europe.
The United States’ withdrawal of the program has opened a window of opportunity for Russia to regain dominance in Easter Europe including control of former Soviet States were it possible.
On a global basis, in the obvious absence of a United States as a balance of power, Russia is building ties with nations to strengthen strategic political and military presence as an emerging ‘good guy’ in the global community (even in Afghanistan) as discussions continue on another United States (Obama) step backward in the Middle East.
“As the crisis starts to mellow in the richest countries, we should pay attention to global tasks, which have been moved to the background. We will be able to say that the crisis makes us wiser only if we continue and intensify the reduction of global inequality,”President Dmitry Medvedev said in an article entitled “The Russian Role in the Transitional Period.” Copyright © ITAR-TASS all rights reserved.
China
China emerges as the world’s second largest economy and holding the largest percentage of United States Securities (The United States being the world’s largest debtor and financially unstable)
As the global economic crisis is largely viewed by nations members of the G20 and other forums as being triggered by Wall Street and associates’ questionable patterns and practices, China found itself caught off guard, and holding the bag from substantial investment in potentially worthless US Treasuries and government securities.
In an effort to calm Chinese frustrations with the United States; ‘Obama said the government is committed to a strategy of spending less and saving more.’
China has actively participated in discussion with the global community to reassess the US Dollar as a global standard of currency and move toward a global currency backed by gold and oil.
The move against the US Dollar due to the Wall Street Collapse places the United States behind the eight ball with hat in hand rather than a significant power.
Israel
Though allegedly pleased with the meeting Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel with president Obama Monday November 10, 2009 at the White House, Israel struggles with the reality that Iran and encroaching enemies from Lebanon and Syria as well as the Palestinian matter remain critical to Israeli national security and essentially, Obama is telling nations little more than what they want to hear as the United States treads water while trying to find its own place in the global future.
Israel knows the odds are against peace in the Middle East and that the longstanding support and commitment to Israel the United States to upheld for generations is diminishing as a movement toward globalization progresses and now faces another dilemma as the chief Palestinian negotiator said he would ask UN Security Council to recognise an independent state because of a failure to restart talks.
As Israel faces the reality that it may be facing the threat of its destruction by Iran and neighboring enemies without support from anyone, including the United States.
Israeli leaders despite dissent by left wing Jews throughout the world, have signaled the possibility of a first strike defense strategy on Iran’s nuclear facilities as Israel demonstrated against Iraq on December 7, 1981 ; however, with the understanding with seemingly nothing to lose, a Masada style showdown with surrounding enemies is the likely outcome.
The New World Disorder
On the edge of what surely appears a well orchestrated move to unified globalization and a one world government, agendas and philosophies of nations and organizations differ.
Renegades such as Iran, North Korea, Venezuela could care less about prospects of a ‘New World Order’ when they despise the leaders and conformity of the movement toward globalization as demonstrated in conferences at the United Nations and other forums.
Russia continues to demonstrate an agenda that predates the fall of the Berlin Wall as if the apparent failure of Communism in Russia was nothing more than part of the plan for domination and control of at least the old Soviet Union if not more… .
While China has its sights on Africa, despite its emerging status as a superpower, many of China’s residents do not see that as their responsibility, China Grapples with Its Role on Global Stage
NATO, The United Nations, The European Union, India, Pakistan, the G20 and the G7 are all positioning for identity and purpose in the global community.
So what now for the United States?
Setting aside all politics; left, right, conservative, liberal, Democratic or Republican but simply standing as Americans; as the world’s largest debtor with trillions of worthless dollars in debt to support a house of cards in the global trend America has little strength left as the leader.
On November 14, 2009 in his nine day trip to Asia, US President Obama pledged to China and the world ‘to deepen dialogue with China rather than seek to contain the rising power.’
In turn for political reasons, ‘Obama’s historic trip to China was marred last night by censorship‘ ‘The White House has noted that the Chinese have been controlling every detail of this visit.’ Huliq News Monday, November 16 2009.
America has little choice left but to buckle up and humbly work through this together and learn from mistakes.
People’s Choice
The matter on the table is not about Obama, but America’s future if we intend to have one.
Government can not be allowed the power to mismanage and make wrong choices at the expense and against the will of the people.
The world knows every move and decision we make as a people, and as a government.
In France, the government knows that the people will stop everything and pour into the streets in protest of any action not favorable to the will of the people.
January 29, 2009 ‘A nationwide protest against President Nicolas Sarkozy’s economic policies drew more than a million demonstrators into the streets of France on Thursday in the biggest popular challenge to the president since he took office in 2007.’
‘Capitalism and free enterprise is not evil..the abuse of it and greed is evil.’
In America, the world sees Jerry Springer style politics, meaningless promises, and corruption, while the people focus on what Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton do in their personal life known as the ‘dumbing down’ of a great nation.
The possibilities for The people of America and Humanity itself.. are positively limitless.
As the world searches for solutions, its not too late for people of America to stand back up and take a respectful leadership role to make a difference in the direction our world needs to go before time runs out on Humanity itself.
Its not about ‘me… its about WE’.
If we don’t, it’s not rocket science… a demise rather than enlightenment by 2012 is entirely possible.
Healing A Nation [The World]
September 8, 2009
When I first began research for developing a mission strategy for Protecting America’s Abused 
Children, with progress came frustration.
I set out researching poverty (indigence) in America which has been one of my passions since my late teens and early twenties … helping people (probably from my upbringing, I don’t know)!
The theme of ‘Protecting America’s Abused Children’ didn’t seem to follow the path of child abuse as most people think of child abuse, but causes that lead to abuses and the affects of abuse that impact generations.
There are many types of abuses a child may experience. Sometimes none, sometimes all of them and some we could never imagine like the Jaycee Dugard case.
A Mission For America’s Future
Findings from researches and investigations into child abuse locally, nationally, and even global resulted in a preliminary conclusion that;
‘We believe that indigent children are the most at risk for abuses identified by researchers because of vulnerability due to lack of resources, constructive support, as well as social and environmental conditions.
As a result of circumstances and conditions imposed upon indigent children through no fault of their own, equal rights and opportunities for higher education among other privileges enjoyed by more fortunate children are often times unavailable if not deprived.’
Looking further, I realized that many organizations world wide focus on children in poverty. However, programs for generations have failed to impact the causes that lead to indigence and generations of cycles that perpetuate poverty and indigent behavior and approach correcting the problem.
‘Certain indigent behavior results in patterns of dependency on welfare and other taxpayer paid support and a high percentage of incarceration which perpetuates the cycles by essentially rewarding the behavior.’
The further I looked into the problem the more the complexity.
The primary goal for ‘Protecting America’s Abused Children’ has been to level the playing field for children in poverty with the understanding that given the proper tools and education (rather than indigence and indigent culture), generations of cycles of poverty and abuse could at last be broken; and that rather than a drain to the American economy, they would be proud, productive, taxpaying, contributors to the community and future of America.
Before efforts could move forward, despite campaign promises by the new administration to ‘level the playing field’ for these very people my heart has been searching for solutions to help …all hell breaks loose.
An unprecedented economic crisis!
Millions of American families losing their homes, jobs, and security all at the same time has thrown even more people into indigence …affecting the futures of millions of children who now, may only have a life of indigence to look forward to …and the cycle continues.
Leveling The Playing Field
Recent events in America force rethinking the strategy for the ‘Mission’ for ‘Protecting America’s Abused Children’ to protecting America … not just America …but Humanity.
To protect America’s children and ensure a level playing field, we have to look beyond our community and our borders.
The concerns now are that America’s economic instability will go even deeper very quickly, affecting global stability to the point where there will be a whole new playing field before most people have had time to digest recent economic and political events here in America.
The ‘new ball game’ will not be in the best interest of most of humanity which affect efforts to move forward on any of our projects unless Humanity is focused, adequately informed, and united.
Whether we like it or not everything happening on a global basis affects America all the way down to our neighborhoods and personal lives.
To save our own futures and the future of those we care most about we have to think about Humanity and the world we live in as a whole.
I am as against a new ‘one world government’, Communism , or anything else that threatens our freedom and security as anyone. So no! …I’m not going in that direction.
Honestly however, there is no way around the need to completely tear down and rebuild society for a secure future.
Comes now, the need for some repentance as a nation. We can no longer be the self serving, apathetic, and complacent ‘all about me’ creatures who have let all this slip up on us (like a runaway train).
America, is essentially bankrupt .. morally, fundamentally, spiritually, and financially ! We’re done! Unless we change. Not the government… but US! We need to change our attitudes, our hearts and our views.
While we snipe at each other… rip at political opposites, race, religion, and all the stuff we do, guess what? The world is looking at us with little respect.
We will do ourselves in before terrorists or any other enemy will …and no one will care!
As China and the EU is emerging …as Russia and even Africa move forward in cooperation and partnerships ..the United States looks more like a liability the world doesn’t need.
Politics and government is like a Jerry Springer show.
The United States has more debt than any other nation.
We are not going to force the world to see things our way any more. We’re broke …we can’t buy support any more … and we can’t use military power, we’re spread too thin.
America needs to change! …and I’m not referring to the ‘change’ experienced since 2008.
The good news is, while people have been asleep or busy fighting with or apathetic toward one another … a few good people have been working on solutions to spare the demise.
There are a few rules that we have to follow for that to happen.
Being a ‘great American’ takes more than being a FoxNews caller/contributor and showing up at church on Sunday!
The toughest, most challenging rule of all is we have to work together and get along …like a team …like America used to do!
