REBIRTH OF WEBSITE OF
HOME RULE GLOBALLY [HRG]
[This nonprofit might possibly have been more accurately names as
GALAXIALLY ADVOCATING LOCAL AUTONOMY but adheres to its trademark of HOME RULE GLOBALLY or HRG.
John Ewbank, President of HRG, relied upon the computer skills of others for donated Webmaster services until about 16 months ago. The incentive for rejuvenating this website arises from the desire to publicize some globally significant federalist activities in Bangkok, Thailand during the week March 23-29, 2003. John Ewbank has purchased his plane ticket for Bangkok and paid Registration Fees to be a Delegate for the 6th Provisional World Parliament [PWP] utilizing the Federation of Earth Constitution [FEC] that is in the public domain. Previously John and/or Marjorie Ewbank have made about a score of trips on behalf of the FEC, and this will be John’s fifth overseas trip on its behalf. Many cause organizations undergo squabbles and threats of schisms. Recently there were reports of court litigation in New York City concerning alleged irregularities concerning an election within the Association to Unite Democracies, a world federalist organization going back to 1939. John Ewbank is baffled about connotations of squabbles within various corporations known as the World Constitution and Parliament Association. . A new organization, Institute On World Problems[IOWP] having an address at the home of Dr. Glen T. Martin at 313 Seventh Ave, Radford, VA 25141 also promotes study of the FEC, which is in the Public Domain. Individuals interested in the Lakewood, CO office of the World Constitution and Parliament Association [WCPA] can obtain a year’s subscription for the periodical ACROSS FRONTIERS by sending $30 to WCPA at 8800 14th Avenue, Lakewood, CO 80215.
Many groups, including the Conference of Chief Justices have endorsed FEC. Any ratification by any nation would necessarily be contingent upon the ratification by an appropriate group of other nations. Prior to 2003, no nation had made such contingent ratification of the FEC. Because FEC clarifies the types of problems inherent in any federalization, millions have read the FEC and its encouragement of PWPs thereunder. Delegates or observers for the 6th PWP can register through IOWP at 313 7th Ave, Radford, VA 24141. Those seeking HRG-accredited Observer status can send $250 Registration Fee using a form at an internal link. HRG focuses primarily on emphasizing the criticality of seeking widespread trust in the members of the cabinet for the Initial Administration of a Supra-National Emancipating Federation [SNEF] and the liberation of each century by encouraging the custom of all entities seeking, during the last decade of each century, to choose by competitive ratification, the sets of constitutions to be used for the next calendar decade. Delays in achieving a SNEF cost humanity about a million lives per month and probably more than a billion dollars per month of loss of potential Global Productivity. By scheduling the replacement of the constitutions at the end of each century, there might be greater willingness to adopt a SNEF. The failure of many national constitutions to durably enforce the restrictions intended by the writers of the constitutions has been among the factors delaying the launching of SNEF. The combination of more reliable procedures for assuring literalist interpretation of constitutions [thus stimulating appropriate use of the amendatory process instead of ignoring or stretching a constitution] might help to stimulate acceleration of the launching of SNEF.
The desirability for the biodiversity of Mother Nature is better understood than even a century ago. A correspondingly extreme diversity of cultures should similarly persist forever. Arrogant dominance by outsiders has created turbulence for scores of millennia, but particularly in recent decades. Submissiveness to unnecessary uniformity has eroded but not destroyed the passion for local autonomy. Many local communities seek to minimize avoidable interference from unwanted meddling by outsiders. A desire for adequate local autonomy can be shared by both an indigenous tribe in a pristine wilderness and by the residents of an island having only million dollar mansions. The absence of adequate local autonomy can sometimes be described by terms such as colonialism and neocolonialism. John and Marjorie Ewbank have been seeking the gentle displacement of both colonialism and neocolonialism for the 62 years of their teamwork as reform-activists. Appropriate decentralist federalization is the drastic transformation needed to promote the withering away of some of the injustices arising from colonialism and neocolonialism.
HRG estimates that it will take from about a billion to about a trillion dollars of advertising to launch a suitable SNEF. Such advertising can be quite poisonous if it significantly resembles the kind of advertising typical of political campaigns. Because each of the alternatives is extremely complex, choosing a SNEF must focus far more on the trustworthiness of the members of the cabinet of the Initial Administration. HRG offers a Contest Appraising Voluntary Emancipating World Government [CAVEWG] as a useful route toward launching a SNEF. The use of "Emancipating" connotes the aspiration for liberating
