A Principled Plan



BENEFICENT PATERNALISM REVISITED:

The motivations of those in power must be evident and ethical. That was the case when the ruling body of the Keltic clandoms of Atlantis (NW Europe and islands of the Mediterranean as well as missions in the Americas and at times co-ventures with Phoenicia or Mu) met each day. It was three women and three men of the best training and proven performance. None but the Druidic trained were eligible. This schooling was integrative and complete in all areas of knowledge to the point of understanding enough to have no fear or need of 'expert' influence. The six King/Bairds ruled from their acceptance till their death or 25 years. At the end of that term there was a great celebration or wake. They were the guest of honor along with captured enemies and criminals who did not find favor in ostracism. They all would be placed in a wicker wood enclosure and burned. There was no reason to sell favors or feather any nest eggs. If an administrative Ovate or Bishop was to be found transgressing any law or regulation they would pay four times the dire fine. They could not hide behind their subordinates as the politicians like Nixon and Bush did recently in Watergate and Ollie North, etc. They would be fined the same fine as their lackey or helper who was fined. The Brehon Laws were situational ethical constructs that placed a high awareness on the psychological and spiritual reality in their decisions. A poor man stealing bread might be given more food; but a person of substance who took advantage of the poor would be made significantly less powerful.

Six is a good number for decision making committees. These six people should have different strengths and expertise as well as an irreproachable public persona. With immortality imminent (900 years according to articles in Scientific-American) the term could be a century or more. I would imagine the group might want to replace one member every few years by means of a majority vote. I think a mandatory replacement of two people every 50 years would keep a core group of recognizable motivational wise people. These replacements could be drawn from a clan council (of old) or Advisory Panel of helpers. This panel should be taken from all walks of life and all areas of expertise. It might need to place weight in areas of social import such as the war on women, and thus have more women than men at first.

PEROGATIVES OF PURPOSE:

The mission statement is simple - improve the quality of life! The means might change over time at the request of duly elected officials of the United Nations. Such requests would not have to be honored by the six members of the head council. They would initially pay a lot of attention to transparency issues such as the oversight of policing and espionage agencies. Their access to information would be total, but their power would come from their message and wisdom NOT by means of force. A lot of public forums such as the U.N. would happen on a regular basis. Encouragement and media exposure combined with ecumenical initiatives would be paramount at first. By telling people about technology that can determine guilt in many crimes through MRI memory scans they would end a lot of legal wrangling and correct a lot of social ills. The money they would receive from estates and charitable donations would be used to create model programs to demonstrate more efficient and humane management of society.

Their web-site would operate as a continuing forum on many issues with worldwide input and access. Countries like China that seek to limit access would find G-7 countries no longer willing to trade with them. Through access to truth people will become empowered! Once empowered, they will demand change. The lack of a moral voice and such access is all that stands in the way of the following:

1) The end of the war on women - No arranged marriages
- Rights of property and abortion
- Equal voting rights and education
- No exclusions from priesthoods
- Protection from incestuous and ethnic practices like genital disfigurement and being thrown alive on husband
