Great to here from you. I like your blog. I stayed away from the One World Government idea because I felt it would sow division until the world's people were spiritually enabled to want it.

Presently many people are very patriotic and dogmatic in their thinking and lost down the dark, narrow alleyways of ignorance. Many are suspicious of leaders and governments from their own nations and other nations and often mistrust people from other cultures who they don't understand. The world would need a spiritual leader who the world's people trusted implicitly and wanted to lead them. The type of people qualified for that role are very rare. Modern times have seen such leaders as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela so others will surely come along. But in their absence it's up to us to be the change we want to see in the world and lead by example. That is the hardest part for me. If I want a world united in common brotherhood then I must develop my goodwill and love for all the world's people evenly. I must be able to see the good in all people and draw it out whilst forgiving the bad. Similarly if I want world peace then I must learn to myself be non-violent in thought, word and deed. Obviously no-one will follow a man or woman who preaches peace but is themselves not at peace. Angry thoughts, unforgiving attitudes, uncontrolled emotions all can be hidden to some extent but as soon as the pressure is on then they inevitably make their way to the surface as ugly words and ugly behaviour and any opportunity to sow peace is quickly lost.

It's really reassuring to see someone else writing similar ideas to something that has been burning in my mind. I started a similar site some time ago but found it hard to sell the idea. My thinking is that we do not need leaders any more, we have the technology and the ability to collaborate equally to govern the things that are necessary and important to us.

In answer to Paul's comment I would add that we need somehow to find it within ourselves collectively to lead - if only we could put forward the best of our ideals, principles and methods to create this then a world government would become something wonderful, brushing away all the conspiracy theories and negativity that currently surrounds it.

I assume you are all aware of the successful efforts by the World Federalist Movement in the creation of the International Criminal Court and similar international norms that would underlie such a confederation of nations. If you're in the U.S., also check out the Citizens for Global Solutions organization. It would be great to add your enthusiasm to these existing, engaged and successful efforts rather than feel you need to launch a new initiative.

Thank you Tony. For some time now I thought that Shawn Du’Mmett and myself were the only two people on earth who believed in a One World Government. Honestly I did not hear of the World Federalist Movement until now (thank you). I do not believe that other people like me around me have heard of it either. I have looked up the WFM and am pleased to learn there are 50,000 plus members who believe in a One World Government. I have also learned that the WFM works closely with the United Nations and is indeed to be credited with the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

I don’t mean to be critical but I think that both the United Nations and the ICC are idealistic organizations with no wind in their sails. Therefore they are both impotent, benign. Cases in point:

1. Just yesterday Ban Ki-Moon, the head of the United Nations, met with the military junta in Burma for the second time in two days with zero result. This is just one instance where the UN has proved impotent.
2. Iran and North Korea continuously thumb their noses at the UN.
3. Not too long ago Iraq under Saddam Hussein thumbed its nose at the UN.
4. The ICC is in the same boat. Its ruling to arrest Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir has been met by the African Union rejecting this ruling.

I am not picking on the UN and the ICC. The same applies to other organizations such as The Organization of American States for example the case of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and Honduras.

These organizations are good but need wind in their sails. This wind in their sails can only be generated by average people on every country on earth getting on board. I am glad to note that WFM seeks not to suppress other organizations with a similar vision but rather to welcome them into their fold as members. I will be applying to get www.weonepeople.com one such member. I have also added the link to WFM to my site.

One thing that sets my blog championing a One World Government apart from others (to the best of my knowledge) is that I recognize we cannot boil the ocean. Before we reach a One World Government, people in Honduras, Iran and every other nation on earth will have to resolve their differences before they unite in a broader global government. I believe that if a One World Government is to be successful it will have to be built upon a ground swell of all people across all nations across the world voting for one. It will be a long time before you and I vote for a President or Prime Minister of a One World Government. That being said it is not too soon to engage in that discussion no matter where you are on earth.

Towards that end I have created discussion groups for every nation on earth. Anyone can go to http://groups.google.com/group/one-world-party/web/find-your-country and pick the country whose debate one wishes to join. The more people join the debate on One World Government the quicker it will happen.
