As a child, I decided I was an 'atheist', because I couldn't accept 'God' as 'He' was presented to me. A few years later I discovered the word 'agnostic' and decided that it was much better to admit that I just didn't know, so that I might be open to discovering whatever spiritual force may exist.
Recently, I declared myself to be an 'anarchist' because I couldn't accept any form of national government that I was aware of. More recently, I decided to keep my mind open in this area as well...
tel‧lu‧ri‧an
1. of or characteristic of the earth or its inhabitants; terrestrial.
2. an inhabitant of the earth.
The phrase, "Taxation without representation is tyranny," is attributed to James Otis, and was famously repeated by Patrick Henry. Those guys were involved in something known as the American Revolution, which was more than just another colonial uprising...
Some 230 years later, times have changed. Today's tyrannical empire isn't so easy to identify. Some call it a "cryptocratic oligarchy", but when we have a billionaire former CEO in high public office, and one of his colleagues recruiting for human sacrifices in tiny nations such as Montenegro and Albania, we might be able to figure out who some of the players are.
Governments are easily corrupted. This is nothing new, but the scale of government (and the scale of corruption) has reached monstrous proportions. American revolutionaries knew that government must be kept in check, but their work was undone. We continue to trade our liberty for a false sense of security, kind of like paying 'protection' money to local thugs.
Pretty soon there will be some key questions asked and answered, for the world to see. People will begin to recognize who is really running things, and begin to understand why. Don't expect them to be happy about it.
Yet, the cryptocracy has been quite thorough, reaching its tendrils into many influential organizations, staking claim to their position at the top of the food chain. We can't very well go to the United Nations and expect them to solve the problem -- Or can we?
Well, we could try. But then, many of the problems we currently face are caused by the US administration, which thumbs its nose at the UN -- and the UN itself is far from what it was originally intended to be.
One wonders if the European Union will ever get over its ideas about supranationalism and settle on intergovernmentalism, and whether the African Union will manage to show the EU a better way. Do we dare hope for a future network of such continental unions?
Could we one day enjoy a complete absence of large, overbearing governments, having replaced them with a global, cooperative union? Do we want that?
Many oppose the idea of a global government, and with good reason. However, some form of it is inevitable -- and quite possibly desirable. Perhaps our future holds global cooperation between smaller governments, as a form of global government.
While I certainly don't support what currently passes for government in this country (and many others), we do require a certain amount of organization. There will continue to be decisions that must be agreed upon. I DO support government that listens to its people while staying out of their business as much as possible (even if such a thing is purely theoretical at present).
So, what I am indeed advocating is a PROPERLY PLANNED AND CAREFULLY MANAGED Global Union.
A Global Union would, just like it sounds, be sort of like a larger version of the EU and AU. We can think of those smaller unions as being testbeds. We can look at what works and avoid what doesn't...
Large nations such as the United States and China present a problem. Citizens enjoy less and less real representation as they are lumped into larger and larger groups. I propose that large nations be broken down into existing states and provinces (and beyond that, as far as necessary) for the purposes of representation in the Global Union. Conversely, smaller states such as Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur may choose to join together (if Mexico is deemed too large) -- but of course that would be a regional issue.
The question of how well any particular regional government represents its people is still a problem, but it is ultimately a problem for the people of that particular region. However, with each region becoming part of a global family, they may be more open to governmental alternatives...
Breaking government down into smaller regions makes influence from corporate lobbyists more difficult.
Still, no matter what form of government we have to put up with, how will we make sure we are being properly represented?
Behind the scenes, the transcendental meditation movement has been at work, improving our situation here on Earth little by little, since its inception. This is very much the 'Thought Creates' sort of thing that the late Walt Bartoo (AKA Kortron) endorsed, but on a much larger, well-organized (some would say 'cultish') level.
In the course of composing this post, I Googled 'global union' and found the Global Union of Scientists for Peace. There is apparently scientific evidence that thought does indeed create. It seems that Unified Field research has led to the discovery that INTELLIGENCE is the one force that ties everything together.
To repeat: Intelligence is the Unified Field. http://www.gusp.org/foundation.html
This makes sense to me. It explains, well, almost everything. Maybe now I know what "God" is.
And, if people can achieve a state of consciousness that will allow them direct influence on things, perhaps that is the future of governance. While in such a state, I very much doubt that anyone could or would steer things wrong. I tell you, I'd rather trust things to monks in orange robes than to any elected official.
Do our thoughts and THINGS WE SAY OUT LOUD have an effect on the world around us? Maybe they do. And, maybe when you lend voice to your doubts and fears, they can become self-fulfilling. Further, maybe if you can achieve a higher state of conscienceness a couple of times a day, you can contribute to universal harmony...
Maybe the revolution will indeed be an extremely peaceful one, wherein many of us learn the art of transcendental meditation and/or find ourselves in a sort of waking dream state, finally in touch with the Multiverse and putting an end to ignorance through the power of the Human mind.
Maybe now the "New Age" movement makes more sense, and maybe it becomes more obvious why that most famous of the Maharishi's students, John Lennon, was assassinated.
Maybe we can indeed eventually forget about any formal form of governance. Perhaps all we need to do is to look within.

Disclaimer:
I have not actively pursued transcendental meditation in any ritualized form, and find it quite odd that "TM" is not something you can learn for free.
One would think that such a thing, if it is all it's said to be, would be broadcast freely instead of being sold.
However, I think there is indeed something to the general idea. That each of us is connected to everything, and that we may be able to influence the world around us through the power of thought, and that the power of those thoughts is multiplied when many of us are thinking the same thing, makes sense to me.
This is very analogous to "the power of prayer". One need not subscribe to any particular mindset of what "God" is to contribute.
If everything is indeed connected, if some cosmic intelligence is indeed at the root of all energy and matter, then everyone's individual intelligence must play a part. It then follows that we can, once we realize this, begin to control the influence of our will.
If the Maharishi, after discovering certain techniques, was compromised and left forever unable to truly share, perhaps it was meant to be. Perhaps we were not ready, and certain things on this Earth had to play out. Perhaps, without the horrors we have witnessed, we would not be able to fully appreciate the wonders that are to follow.
Still uncertain as to how it will come about, I have seen a beautiful future for the Earth and her people. In the interim, life may suck.
Namaste, and good luck.

Nation of Earth website
One good URL seems to be available for a future Nation of Earth website, and I have a host lined up.
No, we're not talking about a fan site for '90s German trance band Earth Nation, though Ralf Hildenbeutel may be contacted about the possibility of collaborating on an anthem...
The questions are: What will the Nation of Earth website be like? and, What will it do?
First, it most likely will not use Flash. Flash doesn't load very quickly for a lot of visitors, it takes time to compose, and it's simply unnecessary. A site can look great and perform very well without it. Expect it to look better and contain more content (much more, eventually) than the Unified Settlement site ever did.
As for what it will do, details are uncertain at this point.
Obviously we will have to explain what the Nation of Earth is, and visitors might like to learn how it came about. They may even like to know a bit about me, but on that page I'll have to explain that I'm not exactly a founder of the movement; I'm merely someone who gave it a name and thought it might be nice if more of us understood how much we, the People of Earth, have in common, how our interests are all intertwined (Am I Founder, or "Primary Concept Developer"?)
As for what the Nation of Earth itself will do, that is not for me to decide -- because the Nation of Earth is, by definition, a very very large group of individuals who happen to live on this planet. Even the question of its organizational structure is not one to be answered by one person. Okay, maybe it could be, but not without consultation and concordance.
The whole concept of the Nation of Earth may be only something I dreamed up, or it may be a very natural progression of Humanity -- but certainly, I cannot have been the first to imagine the dominant species of a planet uniting globally despite the efforts of a few to continue to rule the many. Revolutions are inevitable, but this is the revolution that could, if it is handled properly, lay the groundwork for change to become evolutionary, rather than revolutionary.
See, when I finally acquired regular internet access I tried to educate myself on what was happening in the related fields of antigravity and 'free' energy, only to find evidence of conspiratorial suppression in these areas. Further avenues of research revealed a great amount of suggestion concerning a broad and extremely successful legacy of conspirators -- multinational, multigenerational, multifarious. Apparently, the greedy souls of this world have collectively managed to exert a stranglehold on the general populace (and that's putting it lightly). Our society has become what it is because a relative few have decided to engineer it that way, for profit.
This will not stand. The People of Earth will discover the falsities in Falls City (and everywhere else), will learn how they and their parents and grandparents have been manipulated, and they won't be happy about it. Here is where the Nation of Earth comes in. While the revelation may cause anger, the revolution need not be an angry one...
John Lennon (who, by the way, was assassinated) tried to tell us:
You say you want a revolution, well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan.
You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know
We're all doing what we can...
But if you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you is brother, you'll have to wait...
And you know it's gonna be
All right.
And, ultimately, it IS gonna be all right. It might've been more all right in the here and now if John Lennon were still among us to continue to show the way, and that's probably why he isn't. What's that? Do I accuse the elite of arranging his death? Absolutely. He could see how things were, and he used his celebrity to attempt to wake the rest of us up, and he knew that song lyrics would be a very effective wedge. He could not be allowed to continue.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope one day you'll join us
And the world can live as one.
Imagine what he would have to say about 9/11 and Iraq, and about Israel and Katrina and what-have-you. Imagine people listening to songs and interviews from him over the past couple of decades. Now, imagine that there are those who will do whatever it takes to keep the People under their thumb.
Stripped of his presence and influence, we have to find another tack. We must try to imagine what it would be like if he and Martin Luther King and the Kennedy brothers had not been slain by the elite. We must join together and nullify the societal engineering that has made so many of us blind to the Machiavellian machinations of the 'powers that be'.
So, as far as I'm concerned, the Nation of Earth and its website should attempt to help the People of Earth educate themselves to their situation, and ask that we find a (nonviolent) solution. I will be more than happy to field comments and questions, and near blissful when their number requires me to recruit others for the task.
To summarize, I do not exactly know what will happen with the Nation of Earth, nor can I predict the future of its website. I do not even know whether very many will come to know the movement as 'the Nation of Earth'. I only know that the movement is already underway, and I only hope that giving it a name will help.
namaste, and good luck
