Letter to President Joe Biden

CONGRATULATIONS on your election as President of the United States.

May the prayers and good wishes of the whole world guide and strengthen you in the your HUGE task of rebuilding America from the rubble that trump has created for you.

One current and critical political issue: Tuesday, January 5, 2021 – The U.S. Senate runoff elections between Democrat Raphael Warnock and incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler to complete Johnny Isakson’s term. The runoff election between incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff will also take place. I sincerely hope that the Democrat nominees are successful. They need to ensure that you do not have to live through 4 years of Senate negativity.

A Moral Compass:

It is my belief/conviction that you need a Moral Compass to use as a tool to justify your decisions and commitments. This tool cannot be aligned to any religion, belief system, race, creed, cult, philosophy or specific country. A philosophic but scientific formula for sanity, truth and co-operation is required.  I believe that this could be TheCode. This is a work in progress!  Sincerely, Jude.

Your strength lies in your strong Christian beliefs which I admire most humbly. President Obama’s faith is well documented HERE and I believe that his commitment served him well. Your commitment to Catholicism and your personal beliefs are very well covered HERE and the (amazing!) interview which you held inspired me to write this letter. America is not totally Christian in outlook or conviction and thus the Ten Commandments cannot be referenced as a GENERAL MORAL COMPASS for the American people as a whole.

The PROBLEMS facing mankind at this time, in order of importance, are GREED, POLITICS, RELIGION, THE LAW and DOGOODERS. I accept that the highest priority problem for America at this time is Covid-19, an issue which you are addressing with competent leadership selection and experience.

I address the problems associated with RELIGION HERE  and it is for these reasons that I believe that you need another MORAL COMPASS to use as a point of reference for your decision making processes and a MORAL COMPASS which can be understood, accepted and applied by any person on the planet REGARDLESS OF THEIR RELIGION, RACE, CREED OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

This code (TheCode) is :

Respect before
Responsibility before
Rights.

Detailed information is provided on the website HERE  but an attempt to provide a summary of TheCode is as follows;

RIGHTS :

are given and NOT taken. When RIGHTS are demanded or quoted it is usually for the wrong reasons and are usually because they are being misrepresented. Example: I am entitled to make my own decision about wearing a mask!!!! Freedom is granted not taken. And if it is in the interests of the majority of mankind (not even just the local community!) then do as you are told (or requested) by logic and scientific recommendation. Not to do so is selfish, illogical and quite meaningless. Inappropriate demands on the rights of “freedom”.

RESPECT:

is the paramount driver of dignity and of truth. RESPECT must be accorded to all living things on this planet, especially between each and every person on this planet.

Example 1: If social media could be encouraged/persuaded/instructed to remove any and all communications which do NOT show RESPECT the battle for truth and facts is partly won. This is not difficult to do and places a significant control on the BS and the vitriol that one sees in the press and social media at this time. RESPECT for a persons beliefs requires a measured, objective and intelligent assessment of another persons beliefs BUT it most certainly does not mean that you have to agree with or support those beliefs AND it does require restraint. A significant reduction in aggression will result in a far calmer and realistic approach to resolving disagreement with someones beliefs and consequently a positive approach to fact-checking!

Example 2: Using TheCode to assess a person; trump has no RESPECT for anything other than a grudging respect for his followers (Trumpists). He certainly has no respect for ANY person or persons (family included!). This objectively defines trump as a bad person and the fact that he is amoral, plus all the other unsavory characteristics which he displays, are irrelevant.

Example 3: Any person who does not accord RESPECT to all animals lacks a necessary aspect of humanity.

Example 4: Lack of RESPECT promotes polarization which is the most significant contributor to sexism and racism and RESPECT would also result in the ability to “confine” mistrust, fear and dogma to be a private issue which can be contained and controlled as such.

RESPECT is a realistic, practical, meaningful and appropriate replacement/alternative for the word LOVE that is the driver of most religious beliefs.

RESPONSIBILITY:

becomes significant when related to the ability to use TheCode for making decisions. Every decision has consequences. Every decision has a bearing on one (or more) of the following dynamics :

  1.  Self (includes both the physical body and the spiritual being that drives the body)
  2. Family.
  3. Social Groups (which include Religious and Political Groups).
  4. Country.
  5. Planet (which includes ALL life Forms on this Planet).
  6. Physical Universe.
  7. Spiritual Universe.
  8. Infinity.

An unending debate could be initiated on these 8 groupings of existence but for the purposes of understanding RESPONSIBILITY, as it is related to TheCode, let us accept this table at this time.

Any Government should be making decisions based on what is best for the 4. (Country). Unfortunately all Governments place 3. (Groups) above 4. The problem with trump is that he makes all his decisions based on 1. (Self) and the resulting chaos in America is the result of his (non-existent) LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY.

When a person casts their vote in a democratic election they should essentially assess which candidate is best for 4. (Country) instead of 1. (Self).  When a person is incapable of taking responsibility for 1. (Self eg. drug addicts – particularly ICE) it is unrealistic to assume that they are capable of making decisions relating to any higher responsibility level!  This issue justifies the urgent review of the democratic process – maybe the multiple vote system could be applicable so as to ensure the one-man-one-vote is catered for? Humanity as a whole then relies on countries, like America, to take on the additional responsibility of committing resources to 5. (The Planet) and I hope that Elon Musk will carefully review the responsibilities which he is reaching for ie.  6. (The Physical Universe) with his amazing advances with SpaceX.

The recent American Elections clearly demonstrate these LEVELs of RESPONSIBILITY at work. The American people voted for Joe Biden because there were many that liked Joe Biden and his beliefs and convictions but there were many voters (those with non-Christian beliefs in particular) which voted for Joe Biden because of an understanding of RESPONSIBILITY LEVEL 4. (Country). Many Americans realise that trump has all but destroyed America and everything it stands for and even though they may not “like” Joe Biden they accepted a responsibility for 4. (Country). It is quite scary the number of cultists that need to be educated back to sanity! Even if this is only (say) 50% of those that voted for trump (the trump cult) as opposed to the 50% that voted for the Republican Party (or their representatives). 50% = 35m misinformed Americans.

I sincerely believe that TheCode can be used as a effective tool to be presented as a Moral Compass to separate fact from fiction, truth from misinformation, reality from ideology, action from rhetoric, co-operation from antagonism, now from history, love from hate, good from bad and most importantly dignity from evil, immorality and worthlessness.

My sincere best wishes to you, Your family and your team for the USA,

Keep safe,

Jude.

 

Political Responsibility

It took me about three years to establish RRR (Respect before Responsibility before Rights) as a KISS code that could be used as a moral compass like  the Ten Commandments of the Christian beliefs and the equivalent guides for the many other religions on the planet. I really do not expect to be able to create a KISS set of guidelines, on my own, as a playbook for a new democracy but I am hoping that I am able to identify the key issues that can be used to formulate such a plan. Comments from my many registered users will be of invaluable assistance to me in this endeavor.

This is document which will probably be changed on a daily basis because of the complexity of the issues which have to be taken into account and the HUGE ramifications that are the responsibility of every Government.

These suggestions (attempt to) address the APPROACH and ATTITUDE that any Government needs to adopt in an effort to make the task of governing less complex, more practical and more achievable. The things that need to be addressed by the government are formulated in the TEN YEAR PLAN which will be dramatically different for each and every Government.

Step 1:  A Bi-partisan 10-Year Plan.  Why should this be done?  HERE.

Step 2:  Each current incumbent must accept AND EMBRACE the principles of TheCode and base all decision making processes on TheCode.

Step 3:  TheCode and its relevance as a moral compass must be introduced to the education system. Replace Religious teachings with TheCode which embraces the achievement of personal DIGNITY and a MORAL COMPASS to achieve this.

Step 4: Transparency of Government is a keystone in this process but is so complex that I will acknowledge its importance but will leave you in the hands of Open Government at this time.

To be continued (today is 07/11/2020 1200 EST Australia)

In closing here is a stark reminder of reality as the 2020 American elections draw to a close from Ian Stephens of The Lucretia Report.

The American Election was rigged.

There is a LONG way to go here !!!

Respect vs Love vs Lust

Lust :

Is a psychological force which is considered an immoral desire whereas passion, similar in interpretation, is considered to be an acceptable as it is more intellectual rather than physical. The feeling of lust has no degree of responsibility associated with it. So in terms of TheCode, RRR (Respect before Responsibility before Rights), the word LUST has no significance or relevance.

Love:

Is a very powerful word and plays a very significant role in most religions. Love is considered to be the No. 1 priority as far as human relationships are concerned. Love has many interpretations and Ancient Greek philosophers identified five forms of love. There are many modern variations on the word associated with a large number of both good, and bad connotations. Thus love has almost a platitude and as such has two extremes: Firstly one of total servitude and the other being almost an excuse for dominance. The latter interpretation of LOVE can become a justification or Qualification of lust.

Respect:

Respect is a two way street. This makes it less ambiguous than LOVE and has the additional significance of being a desirable REQUIREMENT for any well balanced person. Thus RESPECT has a quality of balance which is in keeping with application of the Yin Yang principles with which I try to align TheCode.

Respect can be applied to all of the 8 dynamics with far more meaning than the word love. It is very difficult to love oneself (unless you are a narcissist) but it is pretty acceptable to say that you should RESPECT your body (by looking after it – exercise and good food) and your soul or spirit (by adhering to TheCode as a moral compass which empowers DIGNITY). In fact respecting ones SELF as a spiritual being is far easier and more manageable than having to know where you come from, where you are going and what you are doing here. You can just respect the fact of who you are and be grateful that you have the opportunity to interact (and RESPECT in turn) the world around you. The real power is that you can respect a view or opinion that is contrary to your own beliefs without reacting to it or wanting to change or destroy it. Loving XYZ because it has ??? when you despise ??? is very difficult to do whereas respecting that XYZ has ??? and being able to leave it at that is not demanding or restricting in any way.

Respect can be a very gentle process as well and can be shown or enjoyed in many ways. This description of an elderly person’s “attitude to life in general” is an excellent way to show the world some RESPECT:

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself? He sent me the following:

1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.

2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

4 I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.

5 I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.

6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”

8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9 I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.

12 I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

13 I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.

14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can’t we practice this at any stage and age?

It is also interesting how the word RESPONSIBILITY crept into this narrative!

I hope that this helps to explain why TheCode has RESPECT as the most important factor.

Solutions are Limited

I really wanted to establish SOLUTIONS to our problems but this is not really possible because of the Freedom of Mind and Spirit and the resulting individuality of each and every person on this planet. This reference is worth reading because it clearly shows the importance of responsibility and rights involved in understanding the word freedom.

What does this mean? It means that SOLUTIONS really cannot be absolute.  When one is advocating a solution to a problem there are two factors that need to be taken into account. The first is Right and Wrong and the second is BALANCE

So any solution that is provided can only ameliorate that problem at that time under those conditions and addressing that level of responsibility. And furthermore in the hope that it can stimulate people to consider the solution and evaluate it WITH AN OPEN MIND.

So,  to avoid further confusion RRR will attempt to provide SOLUTIONS to all the PROBLEMS which we identify but will include qualification of that SOLUTION to the best of our ability.
