Introduction to the Dawn of Perpetual Peace

The idea of ending wars permanently might seem distant, but the answer lies in defining true democracy, where the people stand above the state rather than the other way around. This concept offers a blueprint for a society where justice prevails over force, and where peaceful resolution becomes the norm.

From Chicken-Stick Man to Modern Sticks: The Birth of State as a Criminal Enterprise

Consider the myth of the distant past, where a man found that threatening a chicken with a stick didn't bring more eggs, but threatening a man did yield what he wanted. This simple story encapsulates the essence of state power: a criminal enterprise that demands obedience and compliance.

The state operates under the guise of patriotism, making the powerful reverse reality and dictate the morals of the masses. This narrative creates a cycle where conflict becomes normal, and peace elusive. The armed and armored 'Chicken-Stick Man' parades down the Mall in a gold coach while the cavalry awaits, a spectacle of power that undermines human empathy and ethics.

The Role of Empathy and Conscience: Key Ingredients for a Just Society

Not every stick-wielding entity is devoid of empathy and conscience. Those in power often make dark calculations, equating the deaths of others with personal gain. The stick, in the hands of those lacking compassionate and principled judgment, becomes a tool for oppression and violence.

Today, the state continues to act criminally, shielded by public approval and loyal institutions. Informants and publishers are often silenced, their voices drowned out by state propaganda. When a publisher exposed mass atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan, they were not protected; instead, they were vilified by those in power, who prioritized their own biases over the truth.

The Road to Perpetual Peace: Practical Steps for True Democracy

Ending wars requires a revolution in how we view the role of the state and the power it wields. Here are the practical steps that can be taken:

Informing the Truth: Educate the populace about the duty to tell others when crimes are observed. This ensures that ethics are prioritized over fear and favoritism. Unconditional Protection: Society must unconditionally protect informants from persecution by individuals or systems that wish to conceal the truth. This protection fosters a culture where transparency and accountability become the norm. Supreme Law Enforcement: A supreme law must pass, ensuring that no crime can be hidden behind arrangements of secrecy. Any attempt to maintain such secrecy must be nullified. Justice and Accountability: Criminals, those involved in covering up crimes, and conspirators must face prosecution and imprisonment. This sends a strong message that such actions are unacceptable.

These steps, if implemented, would lead to large-scale prosecutions, removing sociopathic rulers and imprisoning them where they belong. Justice and peace-loving individuals would then govern, ensuring a society where the rule of law prevails.

The Great Schism: The Battle Between Might and Justice

The core schism in human society lies between those who believe "might is right" and those who hold that "justice is right." Although the latter are the majority, the former continue to hold the reins of power. Only when the majority begins to prioritize justice over force will war end.

It is a battle between two competing ideologies, but it is a battle that can be won. A true democracy, with the people as its foundation, can bring about a perpetual peace that transcends the cycles of conflict and violence.
