The fear has been that the old structure is collapsing. Mankind relies on power games, but the games reach their ultimate conclusion when played on an innocent person, and that occurred on a global basis when George W. Bush invaded Iraq preemptively, and there were no WMD. He collapsed the entire paradigm based on power games.
Another way to think of it is that mankind is evolving out of war-based thinking, and the battles are raging between those who will no longer tolerate war and those whose financial support is based on waging war. Eventually, the premise that one individual would support waging war because it benefits him or her financially becomes ludicrous, and that belief structure collapses when he or she would sacrifice a loved one for personal gain, which is what motivates the peaceful individual in the first place.
"I would not want to experience war myself so I choose not to force others into war."
At this time, there are three groups of people in the world. There are those who choose to wage war. There are those who ignore the crisis and believe the United Nations is responsible for peace. There are those who understand neither of these can lead to world peace and have seen the potential of the international government, and this segment is growing as the word about the plan is spreading.
Eventually, every person on the planet will support the plan for the international government, because as crises arise, the solution to each of the crises is to do what is in everyone's best interest, and the solution will always be the plan for the international government. As that becomes apparent, mankind will start to evolve so quickly that it will seem like we are on a rocket out of the abyss.
This is the potential of our first year's proposals, starting with the evolutionary concept that disputes between nations will be resolved in court rather than the battlefield, and the monies now wasted on war will go to the people, instead.
Waging war is so Middle Ages! One evolutionary "echo" in history may have occurred when knights were trained to protect small kingdoms, but that did not address the root cause of the problem, and the farmer's livelihoods were sacrificed. Farmers were expected to grab a pitchfork and join in the battles that trampled their fields, and they tolerated it for a while, but then a code of honor came about and the farmers watched captured knights treated like gentlemen and ransomed by their king, and still the farmers were expected to pay the king their fair share of the taxes out of their trampled harvest to enable the king to train more knights. Not fair! Farmers protested by pulling knights off their horse, and warfare evolved to standing armies. But it didn't end disputes between kings because they had their armies and still the farmers fields were trampled. The power games continued.
A better solution is to settle disputes in court rather than the battlefield and to leave the people to prosper. It is an evolutionary concept!
It is not that modern because within the United States, states are sovereign and disputes between states are resolved in federal court rather than the battlefield, and the last time there was a dispute that was settled by war was in the 1860s, during our Civil War, and our Constitution that enabled disputes to be resolved in court was written in the 1780s, not that long after kings created standing armies.
Armies will still exist in the era of the international government, but rather than to raise taxes to supply them, nations can hire them out to work on large construction projects, and they will work shoulder to shoulder with their former enemies, and mankind will transition out of war-based thinking by holding a military Olympics, just like the tournaments that helped mankind transition in the Middle Ages!
Can we learn from our past so we don't have to repeat it? Rocketing out of the abyss is to understand the root cause of the crisis and to come up with a plan that benefits everyone, and the solution will always be the international government, or one of the innovative projects, which sets mankind on the path to the prophesied thousand years of peace.
