World Embassy Speech
A Plea For Economic and Political Justice

World Embassy Speech
The world is witnessing a crisis in Afghanistan that is the result of an illegal and disastrous war in Iraq which was instigated 20 years ago under the invented war on terrorism. The aftermath of this war has left us with defenseless global nationals and de-humanized citizens who face political terrorism locally as we all, at the same time, face both corporate and political terrorism globally.
Due to ineffective migration policies, our fellow human citizens are once again deprived of their global rights and human nationalities and have no place they can call home. In reality, the entire land belongs to all of us and is our homeland. However, we now live in a world in which corporations unlawfully have greater access to borderless migration and are awarded superior global rights to humans. This has diminished the rights of world citizens and placed these rights squarely in the hands of corporate interests.
We must work together to reverse the course of these tragic events and the resulting current tendency to vote for authoritarian leaders who promise to correct these wrongs as it is painfully obvious that these authoritarians, once installed, simply exercise their power in conjunction with corporations to control, manipulate and dominate the defenseless.
I urge you all to act as global diplomats so that we can stop the neglection of our common citizens by leaders who preside over economic self interest and seal deals in comfortable houses or back rooms warmed by fires and whiskey and cooled by ice café lattes as they slap each other on the back and decide the ultimate fate of millions of innocent and globally stateless citizens. These are people whom they do not even recognize as human аnd who continue to be deprived of their birthright to live and work anywhere in our homeland, also known as planet earth. This is a global concern as we are all in the same situation.
I implore you all to protect our global rights and defend our global citizenship and human nationality and understand that the current situation is not the result of acts of God or blind forces, but the sure and certain result of the concentration of too much economic power in the hands of too few people and corporations.
The history of this march towards wealth concentration has been recounted in various sources and is not the topic for this speech but I urge you all to explore how so much wealth has been moved in one direction over the past 60 or so years. It is important to recount that the New Deal of the 1930s was created to rebalance more wealth into the hands of the people and was partially initiated due to the fact that the rich feared a popular revolt against their business interests (which FDR reminded them was a real possibility). The resulting period of wealth equality, albeit imperfect, lasted more or less through the post World War 2 period and was dismantled slowly by both parties starting in the 1960s as corporations were granted more power. This concentration has continued to the current day.
It is always the citizens who fight the wars and work the land across the globe and it is always these same citizens who are excluded from their share of the global wealth that we all have created.
It is the citizens who win these wars.
And it is the citizens of our world who now will define the terms of global --
Democracy for all.
Equality for all.
Housing for all.
Culture for all.
Basic Income for ALL.
Who are we killing for?
Who are we dying for?
The world as it was or the world as it ought to be?
The object of government in peace and war is not to achieve glory for rulers or races but to achieve happiness for the citizens everywhere.
That citizens are us.
Let’s fight for us and for our right to peaceful coexistence.
