<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Bummel is not Mr. “Left”, he is not even Mr. “Right”, he is Mr. “Wonderful” - don’t miss-out on meeting him. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">It may be a once in a lifetime opportunity and something you will be able to tell your grandkids about.</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /><strong>Dear Anonymous,</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Thank-you for your email and congratulations on your “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Declaration of Revolution</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">”. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">As a fully certified “LovingRevolutionary” and someone who has been in contact with the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Occupy Movement</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">, I am interested in being kept informed about your activities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Please note (off the top) that I do not condone any </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">illegal</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> activities, including any your group may have been involved in or are considering. Views expressed in this email posting are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of the WFMC, WATUN or others...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Like many people I sympathize (& empathize) with the issues that Occupy has raised, such the problem with inequality in the world, and believe Occupy is making progress on educating people about these issues - and addressing them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I believe Occupy will continue to make progress in building support, as long as they behave in a responsible, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">constructive fashion</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">, as opposed to a violent, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">destructive fashion</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. OK to protest in a peaceful, legal fashion, but do not disrupt people, business, government or damage property. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">I agree that a - revolution - is needed.... and believe that it has already started... but revolutions do not need to be disruptive or violent in order to be effective. One only needs to look at the success of </span><span style="text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Gandhi</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"> and </span><span style="text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Mandela</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"> for example, to understand this... </span><br style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;" /> </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">The key to the revolution (like all revolutions) is garnering public support </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">for the cause</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> and not do things that will upset and distract people (and their support) </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">from the cause</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. Remember, that a sword is reflective (silver) and can swing both ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Democracy</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"> is about changing power through non-violent means...</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> The change might be incremental and take longer but the success is long lasting... incremental change is change that lasts....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Your call to (res-</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">erect</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">) - the protest side of - Occupy - and occupy </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Parliament in London</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Congress in Washington</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> in November are highly provocative and I doubt that such action could be taken without violence. Furthermore, I believe Occupy may be wasting their time and that such actions may result in negative publicity for them. Parliament after all is where decisions are made - democratically - not via “occupation” (or force).... Congress, although a corrupt, dysfunctional organization that seems more interested in serving the special interests of lobby groups than the American people (and is in need of reform, ideally converting to a Parliament) is still a democratic expression of the American people and should be respected... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Talk about occupying the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">US Congress Chambers</span> and engaging in an orgy of (anonymous) sex, however, would be highly entertaining of course, and undoubtedly give new meaning to the term - “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Act of Congress</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">”....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Unfortunately, many of the problems that Occupy is talking about can not be solved by the US Congress or any National Congress or Parliament anyway, as the problems are global in nature - </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">related to globalization</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - that can only be solved at the global level... a level in which global citizens (and their </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">legitimate authority</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">) currently have no democratic representation. The world is essentially being run by a bunch of “special interest” groups if you can even call it “being run”... Can you imagine the US being run by a collection of state governments or Canada being run by the provinces ? This is essentially what we have at the “global level”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">We the people, as </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Global Citizens</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> are being - ripped-off - and need to </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">demand</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> to have democratic representation at the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Global Level</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> !</span><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">National Governments are over-burdened (pre-”occupied”) in trying to deal with international problems </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">as well as</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> domestic problems. We need to alleviate them of this kind of suffering....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - The 1% are benefiting from (the chaos of) globalization while the 99% are losing... We need to change this...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Like all Revolutions in history it’s not going to happen - unless we want it - and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">demand</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> it !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">We need a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Democratic Global Parliament</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>OCCUPY THE UN</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Although I agree that </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">protests</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> at the US Congress as well as ideally at All National Parliaments around the world are important, in terms of actual </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">occupation</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">, however, my recommendation is to skip Parliaments and Congresses, altogether, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">and go straight to the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">UN Headquarters</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"> in New York. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">There you can claim “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Diplomatic Immunity”</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> and camp out until the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">UN General Assembly</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> (UNGA) votes for a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">UN Parliamentary Assembly</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> (UNPA). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - All that is required is a ¾ vote within the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">UNGA</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> in order to create a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">UNPA</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">A UNPA would ultimately enable </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">All Global Citizens</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> to vote for representatives to represent them within a Global Parliament.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I, of course, would not want to see any disruption to UN Business or Occupation of UN offices, as they need to continue with their important work (such as dealing with dictators, tyrants and other screwballs around the world)... but there is a lot of nice green space around the UN Complex and I am sure some kind of “tent city” could be set-up, ideally a separate tent for each </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">member state</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> of the UN, occupied by people from that country with their </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">national flag</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> flying over their tent. There is also a waterway beside the UN Complex which could be used to bring in supplies by boat or barge (as well as contain a stream sauna for occupiers to warm-up in).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Ideally, try to work something out with the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">UN Administration</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> (UNA), if you can, on the use of their green space, even offering to pay something for use of the space. Remember, it is not the UNA that we have an issue with, it is the - </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Member States</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - and their lack of ability in reaching a consensus on reforming the UN...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"> - mainly because there has not been enough public support for this to occur</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. Lets change this !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">A UNPA should be - top of mind - of every living soul on this planet considering its potential for solving global problems and improving the lives of </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">everyone</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">. </span><br />
<strong style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Unfortunately, the media (for whatever reason) has not been reporting on the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">UNPA Campaign</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> even though the campaign has been going on since 2007. Lets change this !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - The </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Global Occupy Movement</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> can change this and aspire to achieve the kind of success I believe it seeks and deserves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - - - </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">No more multiple demands, focus on one and you will have the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - If Occupy is looking for something to - “hang its hat on” - let it be the UNPA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Keep in mind that although the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Security Council</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> gets a lot of media attention due to security issues, it is not the real power behind the UN, that belongs to the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">General Assembly</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - who hold the purse strings - and authorize funding as well as the creation of new UN “bodies”...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">In fairness to taxpayers of New York City (who already suffer from costs related to having the UN HQ “occupying” their city (such as unpaid parking tickets, etc...)), I recommend a fund be set-up to pay for the policing of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">OUN UNPA Campaign Event</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. As well as the hiring of professional security staff to help ensure protesters behave themselves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Such measures would go a long way to put at ease the (legitimate) concerns of the Mayor and the residents of New York City. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Some OUN protests are already taking place at the UN, which started last month, and are </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">growing in frequency and participant numbers</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - The Occupy Movement needs to be careful in how it deals with the UN, and especially the UN HQ which is “hallowed ground” in the sense that it does not represent one national government, but a collection of all of them. This needs to be acknowledged and respected and treated differently if Occupy is going to be able to garner the cooperation of the authorities and the support of the public...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Ideally, OUN needs to obtain (negotiate) </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">permission</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> from the City of New York in order to accommodate this protest (like OV had in Vancouver) in order to - focus - and conduct a proper </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">protest</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">occupation</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">This, in turn, would help garner Public Support for the Movement - and the cause...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I have been in contact with OV (Occupy Vancouver) regarding financing ideas for their work here in Vancouver, these ideas might also be able to be used to help finance the OUN, as well... </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">especially if people are “open-minded”...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>CHINA</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Although I do not condone it, I am proud of you guys for hacking into the Chinese Government computers, it’s only fair since they have been hacking into ours for years, and I am sure that privately even the western intelligence community is happy about this... but I must warn you that you are dealing with a dangerous gang, a ruthless communist dictatorship that does not care about anything more than its own survival, and is even willing to break its own laws to further this aim. For example, even some high ranking chinese officials are afraid to leave China as they have been indicted on crimes against humanity and other mischief, for the way they have been treating people in their own country, and would be arrested as soon as they stepped-off a plane if they were ever to visit a (true) law abiding country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I also advise you to be careful, because if the chinese communist techies ever find out who you are, you might wake-up one morning, on life support, and find that some of your important bodily organs have (anonymously) vanished, giving new meaning to the term - “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">stealing your heart</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">”....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">China’s transition to democracy is inevitable, the only question is, will it be a peaceful transition or a violent one. China has a long history of violent revolutions.... mainly related to power and the “right to rule”. Although China’s transition to a more open capitalist system was peaceful, this transition also benefitted the Communists who were “allowed” to stay in power in return for improved growth and SOL (Standard of Living) for their people. Economic bumps ahead, however, and people’s tiring of the corrupt communists - might change that...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">China’s transition to democracy will be the most important political event in modern history and it taking place in a peaceful fashion should be of great importance to everyone</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. It is predicted China is on track to outshine the US and become the world’s largest economy in the next 10 years or so... We need to support and encourage this as our own economies depend on it, especially as China moves from a mainly export oriented economy to a more balanced export and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">import</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> economy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">A UNPA could play a vital role in assisting China with a peaceful transition to democracy.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Participation within a World Parliament after all would be contingent upon member countries being democratic. They do not need to be “perfect” democracies, even the US and Canada do not have “perfect” democracies... but they need to be moving in that direction. Besides, a World Parliament would just not be the same without the chinese, who make up 1/7th of the world’s population (along with chinese food, which is best served in groups).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">To assist this effort, I recommend that the initial </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Administrative Headquarters of the UNPA</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> be located (deep inside) </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Mongolia</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> (if alright with the Mongolian people), a small democratic country (with a colourful past) located next door to China, and that parliamentary members of the UNPA develop and support </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">democracy</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> as the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">guiding principle</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> of </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Orkhon</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> (right to rule all the world) and be fed a nutritious high protein diet of Mongolian Gruel (to enhance brain-function) until they hammer out a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">Global Constitution</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> that would replace the UN Charter and serve as a framework for the creation of a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">World Parliament and Government</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Here parliamentary members can be - educated - by the (uniquely qualified) Mongolians about the true meaning of </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">global power</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">, and the responsibility that goes with it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">When I worked at IP Sharp in 1987 (which was purchased by Reuters that year for $100M) in the Exchange Tower in Toronto, we used software (programmed in the same IBM APL language used by the US Defense Dept.) called MAGIC. This software was also used by our clients which included the Research Departments of all the major banks and investment firms who used it to help “run the world”. Unfortunately, due to their excesses, these “banksters” almost lost the world in October of 1987 (which endured a crash similar to 1929). Un-ethical behavior on the part of some people in the sales dept. at IP Sharp at that time did not help matters either, which is one of the reasons I left the company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - The coming crash will make all previous crashes seem - small by comparison - (due to debt and interconnected globalization) unless something is done to create order and avoid a crash or at least mitigate it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Crashes are not purely - technical - based on computer logic... they are also - emotional - based on human emotion such as a loss of confidence in the future....</span><br />

I enjoyed giving the talk on Thursday night titled - <b>Beyond the United Nations - "Building Utopia" - Home for a Democratic World Parliament</b> - which was well received by those in attendance. A fellow doing work for Shaw Cable was there with a video camera, so hopefully it will make it onto TV (Shaw Cable 4) as well...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
Most people I think believe the world needs better global governance, including a democratically elected World Parliament, which would form the basis of a World Government. The question of where (in the world) this World Parliament would be physically located, however, although a secondary question, I believe is still very important.</div>
<br />
<div>
<u><b>The "ideal" location from my point of view, would be a place that is</b>:</u><br />
1 - centrally located and equi-distant from the majority of humanity</div>
<div>
2 - a place in - dire - need of "salvation" both Economically and possibly even more importantly Environmentally</div>
<div>
3 - a place that is relatively neutral (in military & political terms) and where its citizens desire to have democratic reforms</div>
<br />
<div>
<b><u>That place is the Aral Sea in Central Asia (the "nursery of humanity") formerly the worlds 4th largest (salt-water) sea:</u></b></div>
<div>
1 - turn a former bio-weapons dump & dying sea into a shining World Capital ? What a statement about Sustainability !</div>
<div>
2 - centrally located to about 6 out of 7 billion people living on earth</div>
<div>
3 - would help support the growing Economic power of Asia (re-create the historical "Silk Road") and link its dynamism to Europe, Africa and the rest of the world. </div>
<br />
<div>
The economies of North, Central & South America, home to 1/7th or about One Billion of the Worlds population, are dependent on the success of the other side of the world where 6/7 or about Six Billion people live. In this ever increasing interdependent world, the debt problems of Europe (or the US & Canada for that matter) will not be solved without improved growth, and for the sake of the planet and future generations, this growth must be sustainable and environmentally friendly. </div>
<br />
<div>
<b><i>Canada, with its friendly relations and connections in Central Asia can help make this happen.</i></b><br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
I believe I "made my case" to the majority of people in the room, but some people liked the idea of the location being in Africa (the birthplace or "cradle of humanity") which is where I said I at first thought it should be located, and yes, possibly on an island in the middle of Lake Victoria (the largest freshwater lake in Africa). My concern about locating the parliament in Africa, however, is that it would do nothing to "save the Aral Sea" and that we really need to do this, as well as boost the economies of Asia, if we will have any real hope of solving the poverty problems of Africa. The Fourth World needs the help of (an improving) Second and Third World, not just (a declining) First World, otherwise our efforts will be in vain.</div>
<br />
<div>
I am still open to the African option, however, and I invite supporters of this option to join Building Utopia to discuss and develop their proposal. Other (any really) proposals are welcome to be put forward as well... <i><b>This is a democratic forum.... open to all ideas...</b></i></div>
<br />
<div>
Besides discussing things like a World Capital (location, etc) and World Parliament (how would it work, etc). Building Utopia will also be discussing the UNPA, where it could be located, how it could work and how we can move the campaign forward. After all, everything we support depends on the creation of the UNPA first.</div>
<br />
<div>
The Year 2015 will be the 70th Anniversary of the UN, and a year that - transformation - will be on peoples minds. Can we get a 3/4 vote in the UNGA (UN General Assembly) to create a UNPA (UN Parliamentary Assembly) that year ?</div>
