The need for a series of books that focus on the Principle of Universal Love as the core principles of our humanity became evident on July 27, 2005. The series was prompted by a widely circulated (and apparently qualified) report that U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney had ordered the U.S. Strategic Command to prepare contingency plans for a preemptive, in part nuclear, bombing campaign against many hundreds of targets in Iran, to be executed in the event of another 9/11 type attack in the United States (presumably, regardless of whether or not Iran is involved). The sources indicated that the plans for such a preemptive, in part, nuclear attack, represent not merely a contingency study, but the policy intention of the Vice President under the new Global Strike doctrine involving "mini-nukes," which, according to the reports, have already been placed under the control of the relevant area military commanders. (See: The Case of a Vice-President's Mass Insanity ) The very existence of such a policy of intention to cause the destruction of life and civilization on an ever-widening scale brings the world to a new turning point in the escalation of terror, inhumanity, and brutality that threatens not only civilization but the very image of mankind and the humanity of ourselves as human beings. A more intensified focus on the principles of civilization and our humanity appears to be urgently required to order to advance the cause of healing, especially a healing based on the great renaissance centered principles such as the Principle of Universal Love, the General Welfare Principle, and the Principle of the Advantage of the Other that the greatest peace-constitution in history was built on, the Treaty of Westphalia enacted in 1648. In order to counter the current, dangerous trend towards more war and destruction, I have made the effort over the space of more than a month to create a series of e-books that carry the major stories of my novels that are relevant in the search for the Principle of Universal Love and the protection of our humanity in a world of tragedies and ever-greater threats. The work resulted in a series of over thirty small e-books. Unknown to me at the time, another tragedy was in the making. On Aug. 2, 2005, almost at the same time as the report of the nuclear strike policy was circulated, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, (http://www.noaa.gov/) issued an "August 2005 Update to Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook," which, as reported, was based
That the warning was ignored is evident by the fact that nothing was done to prevent the disaster. And even after the expected natural event had caused a huge human catastrophe, no meaningful efforts were made for many days to aid the victims of this negligence. The finger pointing for laying blame, of course, tends to be largely counter productive, except perhaps to identify the errors made. The critical task before society is to protect and uplift its humanity in order to aid where aid is needed and to prevent such catastrophes in the future. This task of moving ourselves closer towards the Principle of Universal Love, naturally also includes preventing the vastly greater human catastrophes that are presently prepared for as a policy of intention for even more destruction, inhumanity, unleashed though wars for which the material resources are already being pre-staged under the global preemptive nuclear strike doctrine. This planned escalation of horror must not be allowed to come to fruition and may be prevented by society reaching deeper into the resources of its humanity. There exists a great need in these times to point the finger at ourselves, instead of pointing to the governments for neglect. The world is facing in the near future a far worse tragedy than the loss of a city, the destruction of a region, or the devastation of nations with nuclear war. The principle appears to have been abandoned that an economy exists to fulfill the needs of society. Modern economics are becoming increasingly greed-based fascism. Once productive industries are rapidly being destroyed and displaced with slave-labor products while the financial foundation of much of the Western world has become a pile of rubble in the process, a rubble of debt that stands as a claim against a physical economy that has been speculatively looted to the point that it no longer produces much of anything and can no longer properly maintain itself. The empty shell that the modern economy has become exists primarily on the foundation of creating more debt and imposing murderous austerity onto more and more people. When the empty facade that we presently live behind, crumbles, the hurricane disasters will be remembered as minuscule events in comparison with the consequences of the larger neglect by society in terms of relating to one another as human beings on the platforms of the Principle of Universal Love such as the General Welfare Principle that the USA is founded on, which no longer seems to mean anything. And still, the modern society's neglect in maintaining the infrastructures for its existence goes deeper than what is manifest in the immediate catastrophes that stand already on the horizon. The hurricane Katrina that society chose not to protect itself against, is similar to the much larger natural calamity that is presently staged to become a catastrophe that may eradicate mankind to a large extend, if not totally. I am talking about the coming return of the Ice Age, which according to some scientists' warning may begin in 50 to 150 years. (See: "The Ice Age Is Coming" by Zbigniew Jaworowski, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc.) Mankind's survival may depend on protecting its world's agricultural production in indoor facilities on a near global scale when the Ice Age cooling decimates outdoor agriculture. Creating the infrastructures for indoor agriculture on a near global scale involves a gargantuan project that may take 100 years to complete and really needs to be started now. This should be the focus of mankind instead of staging war and stealing 'profit' from society, and forcing evermore people into slave labor situations. The fact should cannot be ignored without consequences that the present world-food supply is totally dependent on the exceptional warm temperatures of the interglacial (Holocene) epoch that we are presently in, which is nearing its end. Nothing but our love for our humanity can move us today to meet the demands of the future on the present, without which our children and future generations have no hope. Thus, the very survival of much of humanity, both in the near and long term, depends clearly on our present willingness to radically upgrade our humanity in terms of our love for one another as human beings. The series of books of stories from my novels is hereby dedicated towards this end.
