[GMW #2647] World Marshall Plan To Heal Extreme Poverty & Reduce Gap Between Poor & Rich


[GMW #2647] World Marshall Plan To Heal Extreme Poverty & Reduce Gap Between Poor & Rich  Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3040 ~   

In his speech to the UN General Assembly the President of the United States should offer also a bold World Marshall Plan to heal the extreme poverty of a great part of the world and to stop and reduce the increasing gap between the rich and the poor both within countries and worldwide.  He would do this in memory of President Johnson whose main ideal during his presidency was to eliminate poverty.

The President of the United States should also pay tribute to President John Kennedy for having launched the US Peace Corps which was loved by so many American people and should become a World Peace Corps.

His speech would thus be a tribute to President Eisenhower, to General Marshall, to President Johnson and to President John Kennedy.

He could also remember these words of General Omar Bradley after World War II:
"The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.  Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants."

Happiness elevates the heart and illumines the mind.  It improves our entire being and breaks all barriers.  Happiness is of divine nature.

[GMW #2646] Department Of Peace Replaces Defense Departments


[GMW #2646] Department Of Peace Replaces Defense Departments Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3039 ~   

As long as there will be Ministries of War or Defense in 174 nations there will be no peace on Earth.

I suggest that the President of the United States in his speech to the heads of states meeting of the UN General Assembly 2000 will announce that the Pentagon will be suppressed and will be replaced by a United States Ministry of Peace as President Eisenhower did after World War II.  Its Secretary was Harold Stassen, the last living signer of the United Nations Charter, still alive today at the age of 94 and who should be honored for having held this position.  The cold war put an end to it.  Now that the cold war is over the United States can reestablish that ministry followed I am sure by many other countries on Earth.

My Daughter's Noble Sacrifice

"My wife called,"How long will you be with that newspaper? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?" I tossed the paper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter Sindu looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled to its brim with curd rice. Sindu is a nice child, quite intelligent for her age. She has just turned eight. She particularly detested curd rice...I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. "Sindu, darling, why don't you take a few mouthful of this curd rice? Just for Dad's sake, dear." Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. "Dad, if I eat this entire curd rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?" "Oh sure, darling," I replied. "Promise?" "Promise."" What follows is a beautiful story of a child's compassion.

[GMW #2645] World Consumer Advocate And Protection Agencies


[GMW #2645] World Consumer Advocate And Protection Agencies Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3038 ~   

I have never forgotten a friend who was mobilized in the French army in Strasbourg and had a grocery store in town.  Each weekend he asked for a furlough to go to the store and prepare a large quantity of mustard.  He said that it was the cheapest product he could sell.  All he had to do was to add water to mustard powder and mix it.  It was the product on which he made the biggest profit.

Nowadays I see mustards of all sorts under 'brand names' in small, sophisticated, well advertised containers.  The latest I saw was mustard mixed with honey!  Who on Earth could invent such a thing?  What else will business invent to make profits and raise sales prices?  And why don't governments create Consumers Ministries and a World Consumer's Protection Agency?

[GMW #2644] Eat Cheap, Healthy, Delicious Nutritious Foods - Not Well Advertized Expensive Attractive Addictive Foods


[GMW #2644] Eat Cheap, Healthy, Delicious Nutritious Foods - Not Well Advertized Expensive Attractive Addictive Foods Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3037 ~   

When we created the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, never supported by the US and the rich countries, we discovered that the corn-flake contained in a well-advertised, attractive package was worth only 1/1000th of the price at which it was sold!

Recently, through the Internet I learned that a chemical was added to some cereals in order to make the children addicted to them.  According to some people Coca Cola is still not completely free of a drug that makes people addicted to the drink despite the announcement by the United States Government a number of years ago that Coca Cola no longer added a drug.

Well, no one should be surprised by the first peoples' demonstrations in Seattle and Washington.

I will also never forget that when we were young the morning cereal consisted of stale bread which we dumped into hot milk or coffee with milk and sugar.  It was the cheapest cereal on Earth.  But who still does this except in poor countries?  It is cheap, healthy and delicious.  People should revert to it and save the money and wasteful packaging of cereals.

Maestro Joseph Eger’s Life - A testament to the power of music.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Another great pioneer, leader and friend recently joined the growing community of angels that watch over us.  Maestro Joseph Eger passed away at home in Durham, NC on Sunday morning, January 13, 2013, following a brief illness.  His loving and devoted wife Dorita Beh-Eger was at his side. 

Maestro Joseph Eger’s life was a testament to the power of music. A widely traveled and venerated classical conductor, Maestro Eger discovered within music the universal language that unites people across cultures and provides insights into the physical rules of life itself. Music Director of the Symphony for United Nations and principal guest conductor of the Central Philharmonic Orchestra in Beijing, he conducted and performed with some of the world’s major orchestras, toured globally as a solo concert artist on the French horn, and was labeled by The New York Times as “one of the greatest French horn players alive.”

He produced and conducted numerous innovative events, including concerts at Carnegie Hall that combined, for the first time, symphony and rock music, a Lincoln Center concert with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and a unique symphony/rock/jazz concert at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. He initiated citywide festivals in the US winning five mayoral awards. He taught and gave master classes at the Aspen Institute, Peabody Conservatory, New School, University of Pennsylvania, University of North Carolina, Florida Atlantic University and abroad.

Maestro received global recognition for his numerous accomplishments beyond his life-long career as a musician:  his unwavering support for the United Nations, the future of youth and all humanity, and his dedicated mission for peace.  In 2010 he conducted the Symphony for the UN, joined with the Oakland Symphony Chorus and SF Gay Men's Chorus, to perform Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" Symphony #9 gala concert in San Francisco as a tribute to the UN-65 Anniversary.  The publication of his first book "Einstein's Violin:  Music, Physics and Social Change" met with accolades and outstanding reviews; his second book was recently published in late 2012.  If you would like to continue a profound conversation with Maestro you can do so through reading his books.

Your cards and support are welcome.

Continue to enjoy and appreciate every moment in the best of health, and may you enjoy as fulfilling a life as did Maestro Joseph Eger.
With Shared Condolences,

Sue

[GMW #2643] Nurture People With Little Money, With Funds From Ending Wasteful Military Expenditures



[GMW #2643] Nurture People With Little Money, With Funds From Ending Wasteful Military Expenditures
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3036 ~   

I cannot visualize how heads of states, Pentagon officials, generals, armaments manufacturers and many parliamentarians can sleep during the night when 1.3 billion people on this planet live on one dollar a day while one-half or more of all yearly world expenditures, a staggering eight hundred billion dollars, are wasted on armaments and training killers called militaries.

I will never understand it.  I will die wondering how mad power and money continue to rule this planet in one form or another and might bring it this time to its end because they are now also killing nature.  How can God in heaven allow this?

Suppose we both possess the same thing.  You consider what you have to be of little value and I consider what I have to be of great value.  Who is the happiest of us two?

[GMW #2642] Governments The Greatest Killers On Earth - Part 5/5


[GMW #2642]  Governments The Greatest Killers On Earth - Part 5/5 Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3035e ~   

The greatest killers on this planet are not individuals but governments.  Just have a look at the Dismal Alphabet from Volume III which I reproduce here again in order not to forget it.  It should be permanently on the desk of every head of state.

ROLL CALL OR THE DISMAL ALPHABET [A, B, C, D, E]            ..... [ R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z]


Warsaw, Poland, April - May, 1943 (70,000)
The Wilderness, Chancellorsville, Virginia, April - May, 1863 (30,051)
The Wilderness, Second Battle, May, 1864 (25,166)

Yom Kippur War, October, 1973 (7,537)
Ypres, Belgium, 1914 - 1917 (392,000)

Mary Luttig

MAY THE SOULS OF THESE DEPARTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS CONTRIBUTE TO WORLD PEACE AND BETTER FUTURE GENERATIONS.

Millions of people have been killed by governments in the last two centuries.  National governments are not admirable, praiseworthy, love-worthy institutions.  They are often wholesale killers including of women and children.  Even in peacetime they waste more than one-half of the total taxes from their people on armaments and militaries.  And why are ordinary killers called criminals, put in prison, often condemned to death, while winning generals are called heroes, covered with medals and remembered in monuments and history?

People are really sheep to let this happen and not to revolt against it.  There is need for a Peoples' Rebellion against the dismal, dangerous political and economic disorder and injustices on this planet.  I hope that the heads of states meeting at the UN in September 2000 will receive a crystal clear strong message from the World's Peoples' Assembly meeting earlier in Samoa regarding a direct peoples' representation in the United Nations.

in a flower
