Real Peace and a World Government

---

   Our human life in our beautiful world focuses us to think about where we originated. 

   Is God space itself?  Time and nature's laws, cells, animals and humans? 

   Humans can think more deeply than animals, but our thinking is limited. One alone cannot build an airplane or a bridge, but collectively it's possible.   

   When people think and work together, the individual just has to wonder how does this work? How is it possible? For thousands of years, people were always interested in where they came from, as to them, our earth was a flat surface and at some point they'd reach the edge where things could fall off. They had no knowledge of cells or atoms, and the world was the centerpoint and everything they saw above during day and night revolved around the earth. But there must have been something from which everything originated.   

   Our world was not created from thunder and lightening, the sun or the moon. People wondered whether other humans were responsible for these phenomena or whether they were the result of one who never grew old or died - called God.   

   All human beings were supposed to have believed in this one God, but it was difficult as the world was so huge. Separate religious groups formed, and each one tried to recruit as many people as possible. With great difficulty, individuals in various towns and cities were sent out to learn and communicate their beliefs, by word of mouth. They had to learn to read and write and, eventually, taught more and more people to read and write.   

   Religions were practically the strongest groups in the world, and everybody associated with them had to conform. Collectively, they could accomplish much more than was ever possible individually. As a result, they enjoyed a better quality of life and reproduced too efficiently, eventually forcing them to find ways in which to reduce the overpopulation. They built monasteries, separated women from men, and even priests had to remain celibate.   

   Religions were quite similar, but their philosophies were different. Religions became larger. The more followers they had, the stronger they became. Preaching alone didn't keep people in line; weapons were also necessary. Religious groups fought amongst themselves and against the armies of the kings and barons, who were also fighting between themselves. 

   This fighting was called war. In order to fight, weapons were necessary which became ever more sophisticated. In the beginning, groups of men  plundered and killed as they made their way across the land. But over the past 100 years, war casualties numbered in the millions and were exceedingly brutal.   

   Why do we do this? Soldiers are encouraged to kill each other in battlefields, warships and fighter planes. These people don't even know, and have never seen, each other. They are afraid for their own lives. What drives them to commit such acts? In reality, it's human nature and mass consciousness and not the individuals engaged in battle. The causes of wars are always attributable to politics or religion.   

   For thousands of years, people had become accustomed to having a leader, while others followed, which led to the development of nations and religions. The most powerful barons and kings used their armies and weapons to ensure things stayed that way. 

   As soon as they could speak, children were trained to follow their religion and their nation's leaders. This is how countries and borders were established. 

   Barons and kings controlled the people within their borders as though they were property, as their land was. The kings retained highly paid assistants who did their best to ensure everything functioned well and who, along with the king, developed rules and laws to govern the people. 

   All of the border crossings were controlled. Kings collected as much wealth as they could get away with from their people, without repercussions. Laws and rules determined what the people were allowed to do and, if they didn't obey, weapons were used. The value of the subjects' work was taxed away by the kings in the form of money.  Taxes were necessary in order to improve the group's standard of living, and also intended to care for the sick and the elderly, but this was often not the case. 

   With the money collected, kings often built large castles. Religious groups also wanted as much money as possible to build larger churches. Kings and priests often worked together and helped each other to keep their people in line.  

   The large quantities of money these men had was their power over the common people. Kings and barons were eventually replaced by what we presently know as governments and bureaucracies, and their actions are now called politics.   

   Politics and religion have influenced and guided people for hundreds of years. People were told, over and over, that a better existence lay ahead after death than their life here on earth. If they were poor, they'd have abundance in heaven. However, eternal life would only be possible if people believed what those in power taught. Those who didn't believe and pay their taxes were told they'd go to the Devil, who would burn them in hell. How terrible that would be! Women who were considered witches were burned at the stake and served as an grim example to others for their lack of compliance. 

   As soon as children could speak, they were taught these beliefs which they had no opportunity to question.  They believed everything, as they didn't know better. In every religion, they say God resembles a man (not a woman); an old man that travels through space who can see all of humanity – at both the north and south poles – simultaneously. People cannot see God because, in reality, he doesn't exist. Religious stories describe an old man who created the world in one day, including all suns and planets in the entire universe. On the second day, he created our sun. The next day, he took a clump of dirt and blew it into the form of the first man, Adam, made in his image. He then took a rib from Adam and made a woman. Both man and woman could see, hear and speak, and had everything they needed to survive.   

   What kind of a story is this? How could people in this day and age actually believe such a thing?   

   In Europe, millions of people were taken from their homes and lost everything they had, and were imprisoned and even killed. These were peaceful people who didn't hurt others and had no weapons. Their ancestors adopted the Jewish religion. European barons and kings were too strongly controlled by the Romans, and sought a competitor on the religion to get freedom from the Roman Pope.  

   For the most part, merchants and craftsmen were recruited by the Jewish religion.

   They were even encouraged to change their names to ones such as Wiesenthal, Weinthal, Rosenberg and so forth. Jewish people did not originate from Israel, although their religion did, in the same manner as Catholics didn't come from Rome. It was not God, but the people, who created these religions. 

   The influence of religion was so strong that millions of people believed the religious stories. When Hitler took over the German government before the second world war, and controlled millions of people, he actually believed that Jesus had been nailed to a large wooden cross, with large nails through his hands, his feet and then the men put the cross up. Poor Jesus screamed for hours until he finally died. His father didn't want to help him, even though he himself created those people from dust. Why didn't his father simply blow those men away? Hitler didn't need to kill all those people in Europe; they didn't have anything to do with Jesus anyway.   

   For those in power, war is an interesting game that they wanted to win, like a sport. Except they could do it while seated at tables with maps, with minimal effort. If it became dangerous, they'd take their tables and hide in secure bunkers so that no harm would come to them. 

   The men who wanted to play the game had to plan it well in advance because they needed killing machines and soldiers to operate them. If they thought they could win the war, they'd send hordes of people – thousands and sometimes millions – out to kill and destroy as much as possible. The group that killed the most was the winner. 

   They believed they were fighting for freedom, but what is freedom, really? Some gained power through politics while others amassed wealth through religion and were exempt from paying taxes. For all the politicians who purchased or built as many weapons as they wanted, what freedom did that give the common people forced to bear the costs? And those who operated the weaponry – were they free or did they have to obey those in power? What did the Soldiers think during the Second World War when they bombed such cities as Rotterdam, Coventry and London or Dresden and Hamburg, destroying and burning homes in which women and children lived.  Did they enjoy it or were they forced to do it? Did they have the freedom to choose whether or not to fly their bombers? Were they the pawns of those in power? Today those same people are friends who visit each other. Although the sinking of the Titanic is well-known to everyone, the far more devastating naval catastrophes that caused more casualties, have been conveniently dismissed. 

   The ship, Wilhelm Gustlof, was struck by four torpedoes from a U-boat (submarine). Within 20 minutes, it sunk along with 6,000 refugees on board, most of whom were women and children. Five thousand of them could not be rescued, and so they drowned.   

   At the end of the war, another ship – the Kapakona – and a smaller ship carrying 7,000 holocaust prisoners awaiting freedom, were sunk by bombers carrying rockets. No one was rescued. Was this friendly fire? Did the English realize they were bombing a ship of prisoners? Or did they just follow instructions blindly?   

   War is the most horrific crime people can inflict on each other. It is mass murder that cannot be any worse.  Those responsible are not usually held accountable and go unpunished; they protect themselves with their weapons.     

   Is there a place for the atom bomb? Submarines with nuclear rockets and all of the bombs, grenades and landmines once they rust and fall apart? Yet there is always a high demand for more weapons to be built. Above all, those countries that don't have any want some themselves, and if they get them, the countries that had some before than want more. 

   Are there too many people in the world? Is this why humankind, over time, invented weapons with which to kill each other? If there really was a man-like god in the heavens, which isn't really possible, then a woman would be a more likely godlike figure since it is the woman who brings children into the world. Without women, there'd be no Popes, Ayatollahs or Generals. Women are so often oppressed by men because men are physically stronger, especially with weapons.   

   Doctors who assist women seeking abortions are the targets of protestors and death threats. Why don't these people protest against factories that make weapons for mass murder in our world? These gigantic weapons only exist to destroy and kill. They are expensive and make everyone's lives hell. All wars and weapons are, in reality, unnecessary.   

   We don't need dictators misusing our money. Democracy, with the various parties competing and countering each other, is the better way.  There are no humans as gods in the universe, as they would freeze and suffocate in the cold, airless universe. 

   What we really need is a central world government that makes rules and laws applicable to all human beings. States, countries and borders can remain but they must be openly accessible to all people, goods and services.

   They must be governed such that they don't need nuclear weapons and armies. For example, Los Angeles and San Francisco won't build nuclear weapons to destroy each other. This wouldn't be allowed.   

   This is how it should be for all countries. If this were the case, we would experience true freedom and be able to go wherever we wanted. We'd need one language everyone could understand. This would be the first thing children are taught in schools. Old languages could remain but eventually everyone should learn to speak the universal language. 

   The technology and knowledge has evolved such that we can all understand each other worldwide. All that's missing is a common language. Currency, which represents our work efforts, should also be centrally managed and have the same value everywhere. Within each country, the balance of production and purchasing power must be maintained. The central world government must also have all rights to audit all financial books, as it's done in today's corporate environment. 

   Productivity is ever improving and increasing through evolving machinery and technology. In reality, we are working far to much these days. Half that amount would be sufficient. All of the military and border patrols would be unnecessary if we lived in freedom and friendship. Reduced work hours are most important to our future, provided income remains level; otherwise, we'd lose our purchasing power. Those hours we'd give up would be worked by those who once worked in military or border control occupations. 

   We shouldn't be slaves to our work. We created work ourselves for a better life. As our planet became cooler, people needed clothing and shelter. Our cells don't protect us as those of most animals, since people could compensate in other ways. We can build cars, planes and rockets, but only collectively; individually, we couldn't. 

   Things that we can't manufacture, such as plants, animals and other people, requires cells.   

   Cells learned, over millions of years, how people, animals and plants should look. The polar bear's cells provided it with a thick coat colored white as the ice and snow. Birds can fly and their feathers beautify and protect them. It was cells that gave us life; no man up in the heavens was responsible. 

   Men who preach of an afterlife should learn a real occupation such as providing companionship to those who can't function alone, or become teachers or doctors and help others. If doctors worked only half as long, we'd need twice as many to maintain the same standard of healthcare. These doctors could be recruited from former military and border jobs that had become redundant, and funds formerly allocated to military endeavors would now support these healthcare workers. It wouldn't be necessary to build large houses or monuments from which preachers could spread false stories. 

   The time spent teaching young people to kill others without consequence would be better spent on themselves. 

   The money would be there anyway, since we would no longer be spending money on antiquated pursuits. For this reason, a central government with strongly-enforced laws (and policing) is absolutely necessary.   

   Policing on a global scale would free us of such monsters as Hitler. Even the most powerful people could have a better life free of the need to protect themselves, due to police presence and their weapons. 

   Even the Pope (or Holy Father, as some call him) drives in a bulletproof, glass-enclosed armored car, protected from all sides. Surely God should protect him. What could we have done with all of the money and time we've spent on the military and war? If we already have rockets that could wipe out an entire city, then it's time to ban them. We should analyze our own lives. If our cells fought each other the way we do, then we'd become sick or die. If the cells in our body live together harmoniously and assist each other, then we should be able to do it as well. Or are our cells much smarter than we?   

   All the money that we would save could build schools in poor countries, instead of churches and army barracks, so that children could learn about sex and real life. Then when they become adults, they would know what they're doing, so that women wouldn't burden themselves with 10 or 12 kids while living in poverty. Women would then likely be content with 2 children, and people wouldn't need wars or nuclear weapons that caused mass murder. 

   We could build more hotels and cruise ships instead of nuclear submarines, so that all people could have the opportunity to see this wonderful world of ours. The presence of nuclear rockets doesn't protect us from terror and death from our planet. We should use the gift that God gave us to understand our own cells. This is possible with understanding and correct thinking.  As long as we live here, we should make the most of our lives and learn, together with our children, the meaning of peace and friendship. We can already see this with the animals, in the middle of the city, the geese and ducks, they have no fear of us as long as we leave them alone. We can also live freely with each other as long as we don't kill ourselves with our wonderful weapons. Then people would no longer need to fear each other.   

   That we can live in peace in our beautiful world is something we must first learn, and we must do it together. We can accomplish much together, but alone, we are much too small. God would surely help us and give us the time we need to accomplish this. People's knowledge was never as advanced as it is today. Thus, we should understand that they had beliefs that couldn't possibly be true. They didn't know better. People learned slowly through their own experiences and mistakes. In order to live in peace without war or terror, we need all people in the world – in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.   

   I believe it's possible that, the sooner people understand each other, the faster a better quality of life will manifest.  All of humanity could then come together on all levels - in their work and in their thinking.   

   Influenced from childhood on, there are still many people in today's world that believe in a man-like entity or God that exists up in the Heavens. Such people, unfortunately, can be easy targets for terrorist organizations or war-faring nations. They readily believe their religious leaders as they hear about terrible enemies which must be fought and conquered. And they believe that nothing during their holy fight can harm them, because in the end, their God will be very pleased. They will be treated like royalty when they get to their Heaven or they will resurrect back to Earth for a new and better second life. 

   In reality, their enemies are just a few powerful people in this world who have commanding control over weapons and money. When these powerful people have conflicts among each other about religion or land, it is they that want to create war or terror. The majority of the people who want nothing to do with the conflict usually are forced to pay for the conflict with their money, their effort and their lives. 

   War is a game for the powerful people and the military weapons are their toys. War creates a situation where the death of people, including woman and children, is allowed and coveted. That's what war is for. A war must be won … that belongs to the game. 

   But nature encourages war as a way of trimming the population when it gets too large. In the great scheme of life, humans have to create their own predators because none exist in nature any more. 

   Nature has helped man make the weapons he uses. Through the evolution of cells, nature has created the human brain that allows us to see, hear, touch, reach and understand and build. Through the taming of fire, man could turn rocks in the ground into sheets of metal that can be used to build machinery and weapons. Machines that can work faster than we can and weapons that can kill more than we can.   

   Gorbachev went to America to see Ronald Regan to make sure no buttons would be pressed that would start nuclear rockets firing in either direction. On both sides was the fear that someone could think the same way as Hitler: that offence is the best policy and whoever attacks first has the major advantage. That fear was too great because we had the potential to wipe out all life on Earth with such a philosophy. On a small scale, such thinking had already been demonstrated with the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The cities were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of men, women and children died or suffered in the nuclear fire. 

   So apparently, God or nature didn't want this situation to occur and we all hope that it stays that way.
