Part three.

The Solutions Chapters. The Final three chapters of Up One Level.

War.

A long time coming, the following “Solutions” chapters will look at eliminating a few of the chronic problems discussed in this book.

Humans have been solving problems since the wee hours of walking upright, but rarely do they see a problem that is chronic as chronic and decide up front to fix the root cause as well as the problem. War is a classic example.

Hopefully, after reading this book, you have become aware and enlightened in many subjects you never even gave much thought to before. If you have, congratulations, you’ve cast your many ruts aside and become a concerned, thinking, individual being with unlimited potential. Now all we have to do is get you off your butt and make some changes.

Agreeing with me on these subjects is optional, thinking as an individual, is not. So go enlighten someone else and before you know it, you’ll all be contemplating such things as the electrostatic standoff ratio of gallium arsinide.

First, let’s see if we can come up with a solution or two and save the world.

The following solutions are submitted as seed ideas or food for thought if you will. I’m obviously not the guy that’s going to walk into the United Nations and propose a plan that demands we end all wars forever (as much as I’d love to) but there are people that could do just that.

Colin Powell for instance. Off-hand, he would be my first choice, but what do I know? I’m sure the world is full of qualified visionaries.

By thinking Up One Level, then by acting Up One Level, we could change the world practically overnight. You wouldn’t even recognize the place in ten years. Hey, if we don’t do anything, we’ll soon be extinct by our own hand anyway so what’s to loose?

Ending all Wars Forever:

Yeah right! Good luck! Fat chance! Don’t hold your breath! You’re a putz! You gotta be kidding! Forget It! Never happen!..

Maybe so, maybe so, but not necessarily so! If you look closely, you’ll see the beginning of that very thing happening as I speak, and it’s happening within our already established United Nations. Short of sitting on our asses with our fingers crossed for a few thousand years hoping to survive long enough until evolution finally teaches us war is stupid, we already have the ways and means to end war forever.

Didn’t we recently stop Iraq from continuing it's annexation of Kuwait in 92 with a globally backed United Nations coalition? We sure did. It works, doesn’t it?

Compared to some problems like fairytale religions, ending all wars should be relatively simple to accomplish. It will require drastic actions initially, but considering the negative aspects of reoccurring wars and the assured annihilation humanity faces at the moment, I think we
could live with a little Up One Level action don’t you?

Here it is in a nutshell:

Find a few global shakers and doers that can lead the cause, or perhaps, just perhaps, a
country like the United States *(see the end of this chapter).
Convince the United Nations members that aggression is avoidable, stupid, and much too dangerous to play around with anymore. Show them the movie "The Day the Earth
Stood Still". Remember, the robot that vaporizes aggressors?

Enroll all countries of the world in the United Nations. Each country would contribute one representative with the power of just one vote.

Through the United Nations judicial section, settle any and all border disputes with compulsory arbitration and then establish a new UN edict proclaiming all country to country military aggression outlawed forever.

The present UN Security Counsel is madeup of 15 member nations with just 5 of them as permanent Security Counsel members. Disband it!

Establish a new Security Counsel with again, one permanent member from each country in the world. Choose these people like you would choose US Supreme Court Justices. In fact, these people would have the power of a "New World Order Supreme Court Security Council Against Military Aggression.” or something similar to that. Don't let the phrase frighten you, it has nothing at all to do with a global conspiracy in any way shape of form. It is exactly what the title implies. Nothing more, nothing less.

 
Gradually give this new Security Counsel the overwhelming military power it would require in order to enforce global peace. Initially, each country would have to supply military forces or other support as they do now until the New Security Council established it's own. As trust in the system grows, the New Security Counsel would become the world's only military super
power and kept that way by the member nations.

The sole purpose of this council would be to stop all aggression cold. Immediately,
decisively, and without mercy. A virtual "doomsday machine.” Initially, there would
probably be an aggressor nation or two that would test the new system by invading
another country who's army would have to be destroyed to cement the impartiality,
intent, and capability of the New Security Counsels purpose firmly in the minds of all the worlds would-be aggressors. When fully functional, The existence of this counsel
would stop any potential aggression nation in its tracks.

Any nation committing organized military aggression on another for any reason after just one, three-hour warning from the security counsel would immediately suffer the wrath of the security council’s power, readiness, and globally backed authority. It only takes a couple of minutes to call up your general's and order them to haul-ass out of there. No discussions! In the aftermath, it's generals and other leaders would be arrested and punished accordingly. If the New United Nations and its New Security Counsel made it impossible to wage war, I don't think it would take too many generations before humanity learned not to even consider the
option.

Once all possibilities of hostilities are abated, the judicial section of the New United Nations would then settle the dispute as is done in any Supreme Court of any democratic country in the world today. They're decision would be final and enforced by the power of the New Security Counsel. Aggressor nations would also be required to "pick up the bill" for any and all out of the ordinary but necessary UN interventions and/or damage to target nations.

Initially, countries would be gradually disarmed of all offensive weapons and kept that way through periodic inspections so the UN Security Counsel could never be threatened in terms of military power or it's ability to expedite immediate sanction over aggression from any one, or group of nations.
