Global Issues – Current and Outstanding, as we celebrate Earth Day 2009

 

[From the Author of “Poems by Kolki – Absolutely Humane” and Real Path To 9/11]

 

We can celebrate Earth Day, UN Day, Youth Day, Children’s Day, Peace Day, etc., year after year! But without resolving core issues causing the very sufferings, abuses, wars, pollutions, hunger, and discriminations on Planet Earth the celebrations end like another yearly ritual.

 

Here is a short list of global issues current and outstanding – some for long time:

 

1.     Open public investigation for 9/11 US Domestic disaster which gave USA, NATO, Israel power to take unilateral military actions against any nation and individual bypassing Rule-of-Law and Proof-of-Convictions as well as ignoring United Nations and International Court of Justice

 

2.     Ending illegal Iraqi Occupation by most brutal and abusive US-led so called allied military forces that killed 800,000+ civilians, wounded millions, and displaced 5+ millions in civilized 21st Century. Democracy in Iraq can never work while it is occupied and the puppet government is under the supreme military-mercenary gun

 

3.     War Crimes in Iraq – invasion of peaceful Iraq was illegal as certified by Kofi Anan and Hans Blix based on UN and International Charter! But the war criminals of Bush-Blair-Howard administrations and respective military are still free endangering the world communities and societies

 

4.     US-British-Israeli Private Mercenaries - UN must sanction US-Britain-Israel for using private mercenaries in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine with absolute immunity from sovereign laws. Use of private mercenaries in war or as security forces must be totally banned in a civilized world.

 

5.     US/NATO forces must stop all pre-emptive air strikes in Afghanistan and they must be judged under war crimes for all killings of Afghan citizens and destruction just out of mere speculations. We must ask who gave US/NATO forces license to extra-judicial killings resembling Israel’s path of lawlessness.   

 

6.     Unknown Detainees must be brought to open public justice system so that world can see them, hear them, and judge them once for all to identify true nature and power of Al-Qaeda

 

7.     900,000 Secret US Federal Employees – Fellow Americans must stand tall for transparency of Democratic Government identifying all secret federal employees trained by CIA/FBI and what they have doing around the world since 9/11!

 

8.     Anthrax Perpetrators – UN must help fellow Americans investigate who sent US military grade Anthrax to Democratic Senators, Media critical to Bush Administration. This is important to stop future biological terrorism around the world.

 

9.     Kyoto – All countries must sign and ratify this protocol as a sign of international solidarity against global warming addressing the issue with urgency bypassing politics (US and its worldwide military operation produce 25% of the green house gases, worst polluter, must be the first to sign and obey the protocol as a leader) 

 

10.  Democratizing Constitutional Monarchs – as world embraces democracy and democratic values it is time to have true democracies in most NATO countries including United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan. Use of military must be a political decision of sovereign countries where non-elected Constitutional Monarchs must not be the Commander in Chief. So, it is time to end all Constitutional Monarchies to secure and sustain worldwide true democracy.  

 

11. Dissolving NATO – West needs a western Gorbachev to dismantle Aggressive/Abusive NATO military alliance voluntarily. Peace can never be achieved when a military alliance attacks and sanctions countries bypassing UN authority justifying Humanitarian Hypocrisy. Thus NATO expansion is United Nation’s destruction.

  

12. Freeing Korea, Japan and Germany from US occupation – large US military presence in those countries for half a century works against democracy and national unity. It is time - Korea, Japan and Germany enjoy freedom void of US military occupation.

 

13. Air India Disaster of 1985 Open Public investigation (long outstanding): Since Canadian Government, Justice System and Media failed to launch an open public investigation into one of the worst terrorist act in airline history masterminded and perpetrated from Canada, UN must help Canadians towards full open public investigation serving long outstanding justice to the real perpetrators including CSIS and RCMP officials for destruction of all important audio tapes and many physical evidences related to the disaster.

 

     14. Total Ban On Baby Seals Hunting and Old Growth Logging: If law-abiding citizens can survive

           government’s silence during massive corporate layoffs with a short notice, then few hundred

           Baby seals killers and loggers can be easily be retrained and accommodated by the society. 

 

15.  Last in this list but not leastDemocratizing UN Security Council reflecting world population

      and voice to minimise abusive sanctions and convenient wars of supremacy.

 

When wise act ignorant world becomes a dangerous place. We must stand tall as world citizens despite all business to ensure these issues get resolved for the benefit of mankind and other sentient being leading to lasting peace, prosperity, and enormous cultural evolutions on Planet Earth.
