After the Soviet Union collapsed, our leaders did not convert our enormous military expenditures into social programs because they created a new enemy--the terrorists. David Ray Griffin's books make a very convincing case that 9/11 was a government false flag operation used to convince Americans that the continued spending of astronomical amounts of money on the military is vital to our survival. Why is the United States doing these things? Because there are corporations that make huge amounts of money when more weapons are needed. Corporations control the government and the mainstream media. Also, the United States is an empire, which is not what the world needs or wants.
It would be wonderful if each citizen and voter in the United States would make a list of how the United States can become a great country, since we are hearing so much about how to Make America Great Again. Have we ever been great? Compared to what we could be, the answer is no. Here are my recommendations for the United States:
1. We need to shun all lies, misinformation, and disinformation and create a society that values openness, honesty and transparency at all levels.
2. We need at least 7 of the largest political parties participating in presidential political debates.
3.We need to value solar and wind, eliminate nuclear power, and cultivate hemp for all of its biodegradable uses.
4. We need to study math, science, social studies, and language arts our whole lives and share what we have learned with our children and grandchildren. It is unfortunate that not everyone can retire by age 60 with a good pension and monthly Social Security payments so they can focus full time on making the world a better place.
5. We need to have more trains and busses and far less cars.
6. We need to eliminate all forms of imperialism, capitalism, racism, patriarchalism, and materialism from our hearts and minds and motivations.
7. We need to stop discriminating against the LGBTQ community to encourage others to accept and not hide their sexual orientations.
8. We need to build democratic, consensus, intentional, autonomous, and interrelated communities from the grassroots level to the global level, building from the bottom-up.
9. We need to encourage neighborhood control of neighborhood schools to create neighborhood togetherness and intentional communities--something that has never been tried yet.
10. We need a fair and democratic Constitutional Convention, based on the national political parties that capture at least one percent of the vote, to create a new national constitution with every new generation as Thomas Jefferson encouraged.
11. We need to implement public banking, proportional representation with a unicameral national legislature, ranked-choice voting, the elimination of the Electoral College System for electing a president, the empowerment of multiple political parties, and the elimination of the Federal Reserve.
12. We need to be concerned about every person and species on the planet.
13. We need to become vegans for ecological, ethical, and health reasons to promote sustainable practices in consideration of future generations.
14. We need to value democratic world government built from the bottom-up instead of having a new world order imposed on us from the top-down.
