We will not recognize any election that is not fair
The current election system is so corrupt as to be meaningless. Qualified candidates are blocked from the start in a blatantly unconstitutional system run by the so-called “political parties” beholden to the rich and powerful.
The media, slave to multinational corporations, purposely denies citizens access to critical information about policy making it impossible to evaluate the candidates and their policies. Fake personalities take the place of policy and facts in the “analysis” offered to the citizen.
Votes are counted by computer systems designed to be hacked. Impoverished neighborhoods are assigned so few voting machines that tired mothers and fathers must wait for hours in line as the dusk descends.
We will not recognize any election for president, or for any other office, until the nation holds internationally-supervised transparent elections in which every citizen is guaranteed the right to vote in a manner that can be scientifically verified, and in which every qualified candidate can present his or her policies directly to the people.
The entire election process must transparent and commercial advertising for candidates be banned.
It would be better to set up a provisional government that follows the constitution and runs legitimate elections than to allow this fraud to continue.

Establish an economy of the people, by the people, and for the people
The citizens of the United States must take back control of the economy from the dictatorial control of a handful of wealthy American, and foreign, families. Most of their wealth was created through subterfuge, bribery, and monopoly practices, and even the criminal printing up of money to pay off private banks—and not by any contribution by them to the economy. We will establish true economic equality in the United States and will strictly regulate finance so as to make a democratic economy possible.
We will empower thousands of professional auditors at the Internal Revenue Service, and other government bureaus, who, supported by a reformed FBI, will go forward to fearlessly conduct complete audits of all branches of government, including the Department of Defense, to uncover, and release to the public, the full extent to which the Federal government has been taken over by multinational corporations and the super-rich.
We will conduct a full financial audit of the Congress, and of all its members so as to make clear the deep corruption bred of the unconstitutional system of lobbying and consulting. Similar efforts will be undertaken to expose corruption in the executive branch, and in the judiciary.
Once the government is dedicated once again to the concerns of our citizens, we will undertake similar audits of corporations, and of the super-rich, to ascertain their true assets, the true source of that wealth. We will confiscate their assets if derived from criminal operations like operation COVID 19 or from other immortal and criminal actions.
Once the assets of the criminal elite have been confiscated, and they no longer have the money to bribe, or buy out journalists, politicians, educators, or opinion leaders, we will be able to create an environment in which ethical and scientific planning for the future of the United States economy can be undertaken and all citizens will have access to finance and will be free to run their own local economies.

Bring the US military home and upgrade the United Nations
The United States must bring home the vast majority of the troops it has deployed around the world and return to a peace time economy for the first time since the 1940s.
Tragically for America and for the world, most of America’s overseas troops are employed by the multinational corporations that have seized control of the federal government for mercenary enterprises that serve their interests, and not for the security of the nation.
We must be ready to fight, and to die, for true international security, but we must do so following the strictest sense of national security and we must uphold the original charter of the United Nations.
We have enemies at home and abroad who would make us slaves, who would destroy our food, and who would force us to take dangerous medications.
The United Nations must be the primary space wherein we plan the future for our fragile planet. We must use that platform to address global issues, with peace and cooperation as our priority, before resorting to military action.
However, before we can do so, the United Nations must undergo a complete reform so that it represents the people of the Earth in a transparent and democratic manner and no longer takes money from the rich, the banks, and from multinational corporations for any of its efforts. It must be transformed into an international organization that is democratic in nature and not a globalist tool of the powerful to justify their predations.

Support true education and investigative journalism
We cannot have transparent governance or sincere politics unless citizens have access to the educations necessary to help them to think for themselves, to investigate the world around them in a scientific manner, and to consider their ethical responsibilities to society. Education never ends and it depends on access to diverse, relevant and ethical information about the natural and human world provided by a vibrant and independent ecosystem of investigative journalism dedicated to the truth.
We must give all of our citizens the opportunity to learn history and literature, philosophy and science, from a young age, thus supplying them with the means to comprehend the complex issues of our age. Everyone will be entitled to a quality education because we expect everyone to be an active citizen in accord with the demands of our Constitution.
Funding for education must be available for all citizens, and never tied to local real estate taxes. Teachers must be at least as well rewarded for their contribution as the other parasitic professions that dominated our economy today.
Families must be given the free time at work that allows them to participate fully in the education process at home, and at school. The costs of the time spent with children is tiny price to pay for raising an informed and independent future citizenship.
Most importantly, youth should be encouraged to make full use of the infinite potential to be found in the imagination. Music, art, movies and other forms of entertainment will no longer be the monopoly of multinational corporations but will be created directly at the local level by citizens, thus making study of the humanities again a sought-after career.
We must free youth from the banal and manipulative consumer culture fed to them against their will by corporations, a culture that directs them towards short-term pleasures and robs them of the ability to contribute to their society.
The government, independent of banks and corporations, will support activities that give citizens the confidence to express themselves, and to articulate a vision for our future.
Sadly, journalism has degenerated into a disgraceful sludge that fills newspapers, TV broadcasts and internet postings with grotesque images and meretricious phrases, debased content that appeals to our worst angels.
Journalism must inform our citizens about real issues, not promote sensationalist happenings; and it should teach citizens how to think critically about the forces behind the economic and cultural realities they observe. The government must support an independent media at the local and national level that is dedicated to the pursuit of truth and that encourages citizens to think for themselves.

Moral decadence lies at the core of the current political crisis
The current crisis is, above all, a spiritual one. While we slept, our nation drifted into decadence and narcissism. We mistook the surface appearances of prosperity for the depths of human wisdom.
Modesty, frugality, and integrity have vanished from our vocabularies. The invisible inner world of values and character that should stand at the center of the moral reasoning of citizens has been replaced by a shallow culture of the spectacle which has transformed the citizen into a passive consumer of the filth produced by media companies.
Until we control our own actions, and then can form communities that demand righteousness of their members, until we can trust our neighbors, can talk frankly with our children about the truth, and can uphold common values, not shared fictions, we will be incapable of standing up to the dark powers that have seized control of our country.
The UN as it stands is a weapon. I believe as do many others that an international organization to resolve global issues is possible and absolutely necessary. We are entirely open to suggestions as to how we should deal with the current crisis. If people think we can just handle it through national governments, I am sorry to say that they are already controlled by multinational corporations. Regaining our autonomy will be far more difficult than that.
I do not believe the UN is safe to reform in any way, I think we need to dismantle most centralized control systems as they are too easily weaponized against us.
