The Age of Peace
World Without War by 2050
World of Nations by 2020
Question: Will Humanity take the third step toward global governance before or after
World War III?
(In 2012 the doomsday clock was set one minute closer to midnight.)
(And, a story to turn the clock back is contained herein.)
Our Choice
Our Call
Our Vision
It Is a Matter of Imagination and Collective Human Will.
President Obama to United Nations September 20, 2016
September 20, 2016jsc
On the eve of International Peace Day President Obama gave his final speech to United Nations.
He spoke of humanity defined by a “universal belief” in “liberty, equality, justice and fairness” and noted that this can be done by “expanding our moral imagination” to assure the safety of all, near and dear, afar and other. We are in this together as human global family, and we stand together as one or we shall fail our children’s children.
He correctly identifies safety as the critical variable in his call for peace among nations. In a time of war one answer to one question could define the outcome of Election 2016. “What keeps me and my family safe in my bed at night?” The need for safety deeply embedded in our brain.
His speech given in the fall before Election 2016 and the impact of war nearby as recent “terrorist” activity in New York attests. War assumed to be the future and talk of real peace defined as close to treason. Peace is widely accepted as a naïve proposition in a citizenry indoctrinated to believe war is inevitable and forever.
Perhaps it is this understanding of the public mood and so as not to jeopardize the election of a Democrat, Obama did not call out for a Doctrine of Peace to end war as I wrote in January 2015.
Will humanity listen?
Avoiding the Age of Catastrophe may be in the balance.
