Obama in Alaska
Please watch this 25 minute plea
by President Obama to save the planet from global warming. He analyses the
threat as real & immediate. Even so, I still think the scientific meltdown
forecasts he cites are ten times too slow and sea rises ten times too shallow.
Twenty years ago science forecast sea level rise as 2 mm per century – now
science says 2 metres per century (1,000 times faster) – I think its 20 metres
this century. Read my 2 novels (links below) & Move to Higher Ground. Do distribute this message - Noel

WORLD GOVERNMENT NEEDS GLOBAL WARMING
The prospects for World Government
are not as distant as we might think. Since my few years 1992-98 of attending
EC meetings in Brussels, intelligent cooperation has been creeping up on us:
1) There is now an effective
instant world currency – via Paypal, Visa etc. which was unimaginable in 1992.
2) There is worldwide emergency
health care with reciprocal arrangements between all OECD countries.
3) Space air and sea travel is
necessarily controlled and monitored worldwide.
4) The internet brings global
instant knowledge, data and education- apart from a few blackspots, which
will not stand against the tide of IT innovation.
5) We can personally direct dial
telephone across the world at low prices – inconceivable in 1992.
6) Most key science subjects are
shared internationally – whatever small minded governments may want.
7) Sport – with all its inherent
corruption – is international.
8) Music, film, theatre and art is
pretty much international. I think the Met Opera broadcasts live to hundreds of
cinemas in 50 or so nations.
9) Language – English is currently
the international language – and is so for all control of transport and travel.
Our desk computers will translate any language. Inconceivable in 1992.
These are just a few examples of
worldwide governance agencies and tools – I’m sure you can think of many more;
all imperfect but globally very functional nevertheless.
10) To build and bind world
government needs a global Common Enemy – and we have one in Global Warming.
Whatever you think of Obama, his 25 minute speech last week, warning Alaska and
the world about Arctic meltdown, wasn’t just his rhetoric; he cited carefully
considered White House approved data. It is COMING NOW – is a common
enemy, a Real & Present Danger, as deep voiced American documentary
presenters put it; which is already creating, in Alaska, the first of about 5
billion homeless refugees who live on the coastal margins (London, New York,
Tokyo, Hong Kong, Cairo etc). The global community has no option but to deal
with it globally. The next meeting is in Paris in December. This planetary
crisis will lead to global action; lets hope the actions bring Intelligent
Cooperation, not WW3. Maybe this month’s minor refugee crisis is a practice
run.

WORLD GOVERNMENT
Subject: Re: Iran nuclear deal. To Noel:
Unfortunately, the world seems to
be governed by self serving non-entities. Can you name an inspiring, competent
dynamic world or national leader?
The UN has proved to be useless
as a peacekeeping body.
All major international bodies
have shown themselves to be corrupt or inefficient or both. Witness UN, FIFA,
World athletics, cycling, not to mention the EU etc etc.
So, where does does this leave us
with a possible world government?
Sorry, Noel, world government is
a nice idea, but is utterly impractical.
I hate to be too depressing, but,
in terms of governance, we are in trouble!
Maybe Corbyn will jolt us into
some action. Cameron needs to wake up and provide some real leadership - but
don't hold your breath on this.
Obama, I am afraid, is a lost
cause.

On 18 Sep 2015, at 10:37, To Nick - Excellent
but terrifying points. We need a massive effective UN police force - now. I have
just responded to John who is worried about worldwide banking
collapse and the withdrawal of depositor guarantees (below).
The
world needs world government. (Under President for Life Corbyn?). We seriously
need world government – and very soon. - Noel

MONEY & BANKS
Hi John
What I mean is that governments
should globally monitor all banks' and financial companies' balance sheets on a
daily basis on behalf of all customers and the financial world. 99% of banks
use large IBM machines - a "daily balance sheets cross-added
spreadsheet" would be easy arithmetic for these computers. There is no
other way that We The People can have the faintest clue about the health of
financial institutions. If we are to risk our savings - we need this simple
bookkeeping information. This, the opaque and corrupt Money-Economy, is a
global problem.
Noel

To Noel from John - Bank deposit guarantees
I think the problem is that it
does have government rules, and those are the new bail-in laws. On that basis
government is the problem.

Re - eurozone races to
restructure Greek banks
John
Thanks for this FT article.
I appreciate that banks may be
allowed to go bust and that depositors may lose their savings. I don't know
what the ordinary person can do. Even top bankers don't understand their own
balance sheets.
A future answer may be for a
global daily report of all financial institutions - it is possible in our
computer age. Many of the bookkeeping cross added rows would total zero; one
banks deposits being another's borrowing.
It needs government rules - Noel

NUCLEAR WAR
Subject: Iran nuclear deal.
Date: 17 September 2015
To: "Nichola BLACKWOOD MP,
Dear Nicola (I hope you don't
mind me calling you Nicola),
I am afraid that I am not in the
least reassured by your note.
I am reluctant to overfill your
postbag with my ramblings, but I will just make a few brief points, based on
some of your remarks.
1. "to keep Iran from
developing a nuclear weapon". At the absolute best it only delays the bomb
for about 10-15 years. This means other countries, especially Saudi Arabia will
run for nuclear immediately in order to catch up. A new nuclear arms race.
2. " Iran
will grant the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) access". This is
wrong. First, The White House has been at pains to say the Iran/IAEA agreement
is confidential. So, do we really know what it contains?
Second, from what
we do know, Iranian military bases are off limits to Inspectors, and
inspections will be carried by …… Iranians!
3. "the
international community will lift some of its sanctions on Iran".
Unfortunately, restrictions will be lifted without the ability to
"snap" them back in place. Russia, China and the EU can't wait to do
business with Iran and open the floodgates to billions of dollars flowing to
Iran. What will Iran do with all this money? The mullahs and terrorists around
the world are already laughing.
4. "this
agreement will herald a step-change in Iran's relations with its neighbours and
the international community". Have you noticed any change at all in Iran's
attitude towards the West, towards the US, towards the UK, towards Israel. If
anything the rhetoric is getting worse. Why do you think it will suddenly
change, just because we have caved in on this agreement? To believe so is
wishful thinking. As a wise man once said, "If a man says often enough
that he is going to kill you, you had better take him seriously".
5. On
the human rights issue, there has not been a single concession - frankly nor is
there likely to be - or release of US prisoners. What incentive does Iran have
to change? We have removed all possible sanctions, and Iran knows there is no
danger of military intervention on this or on any other issue.
Sorry, but I cannot
disagree more with you and the PM on this issue. I am surprised that there has
not been a greater debate.
Kind regards
Nick

Dear ***Nick***
Thank you for contacting me about the
historic deal on the Iranian nuclear programme. Please accept my apologies for
the long delay in my reply, which has been caused by both the parliamentary
recess and an extended period after the election when I was very understaffed.
Thank you for your patience in awaiting a response ─ we are doing our best to
resume normal service.
I understand your concerns. However, please
note that the international community has delivered a potentially historic deal
with Iran following years of persistent diplomacy and tough sanctions. I
believe that this is in our country's interests and secures the UK's
fundamental aim − to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Under the agreement, Iran will grant the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) access to verify Iran’s adherence to
the restrictions placed on its nuclear programme, giving the international
community confidence that the programme is, and will remain, peaceful. In
return, once Iran has taken key steps to introduce these restrictions, the
international community will lift some of its sanctions on Iran, delivering
significant economic and financial benefits for the country. Having reached this
important agreement, our focus must now be on ensuring its swift and full
implementation to make sure that a nuclear weapon remains beyond Iran's reach.
The removal, over time, of economic and
financial sanctions represents a huge opportunity for Iranians to make positive
decisions about their country's future and its role in the region and the wider
world. I have discussed this with Ministers and their view is that this
agreement will herald a step-change in Iran's relations with its neighbours and
the international community. In my view, the thawing of diplomatic relations is
hugely important because it presents the UK with an opportunity to develop
longer-term cooperation with Iran. The UK Government will continue to work
closely with its international partners to encourage Iran to play a transparent
and constructive role in regional affairs, particularly in the struggle against
violent Islamist extremism.
Please note that whilst the human rights
situation in Iran remains deeply concerning, and the Iranian Government's
reaction to international criticism of its human rights record continues to be
dismissive, the UK Government has been unwavering in its efforts to hold Iran
to account for its abuses, having designated over 80 Iranians responsible for human
rights violations under EU sanctions. It has helped establish a UN Special
Rapporteur on Iran human rights and successfully lobbied for the renewal of his
mandate at the UN Human Rights Council. I hope that the UK will remain a strong
voice in seeking improvements. I must emphasise that we can achieve more in
this regard if we develop working diplomatic relations with Iran, which
is precisely what this deal will ensure.
Thank you again for taking the time to
contact me and I hope you are reassured by my response.
Kind regards,
Nicola

Dear Nicola
Sorry to add to your email baggage, but I
want to know why, and how, David Cameron can support Obama\'s proposed nuclear
deal with Iran.
At its very best, the deal is only for 10
years, after which Iran presses ahead with the bomb. In the meantime, we know
how Iran lies about its nuclear development, and that the inspections regime
will easily be frustrated. Iran\'s coffers will be hugely inflated by umpteen
billions in a relatively short period of time. The Iranians are openly mocking
the deal and Obama. They continue to threaten the West, the US and Israel. Why
does nobody take their threats seriously?
Is the Government supporting the deal
because they see short term trading and economic benefits for UK and EU? Can Mr
Cameron really be sure the deal is the best for us all?
Nick
