Serious issues we face from climate change to terrorism to threat of war and nuclear attack to gun violence to hunger and poverty are enough to unite us for co-creating and implementing solutions. Humans are at threat of extinction with all others if we continue to look the other way. We need to take urgent action, rising above individual, society, or national interests and differences. We must re-imagine life and unite the globe as a single nation. Now is the time to challenge status quo for everything from how we do business to work to religion to all else. What value governments or financial institutions bring today? Can government be run by volunteers operating virtually? Is there a better way to education? We need to make fundamental changes starting with complete disarmament. We can plant trees to build houses instead of cutting them down. We can use technology to educate anyone anywhere. We can create an interdependent world with all communities participating. By eliminating friction built-in existing structures of economy, a model of prosperity that empowers everyone will emerge to create an everlasting value for humanity. The will, determination and technology are here - let's do it. Visit www.1world1nation.com to play a role in uniting the world, create permanent peace, and reverse damage to the environment. We are in it together, so join hands now to be part of the solution. This book is an action plan reflecting thoughts and aspirations of the collective consciousness of humanity to shape the initiatives and bring everyone together to achieve results. There are multiple ways in which anyone of us can make contributions - from creating a virtual government to driving consensus locally for disarmament to starting an education program that benefits the local community and develop skills in demand to make them economically independent to creating an integrated living community to actions for protecting the environment from local to regional to global. The book is divided in 3 sections - the first section analyses the problem to explain unifiers as concerns of humanity, and enablers as the solution space candidate. The second section lays down a pyramid framework for the solution, and the third section explains how to implement the solution in a practical manner through actionable projects. A number of appendices provide explanation for the new concepts defined.

The insidious tentacles of micro-brainwashing are threatening the democracy Americans, and other democratic citizens, have taken for granted as their birthright. Propaganda, confirmation bias, and both traditional and social media have plagued our minds with a fog of confusion over blurred facts and their offered alternatives-- making a handbook for those desiring to be free-thinking citizens a necessary manifesto. This handbook provides a timely, quick, easy-to-read explanation of the potential for brainwashing in modern democracies and how to protect ourselves from becoming victims. The book teaches the recognition of propaganda and its power in advertising and politics due to basic human psychological needs. In light of these needs, it discusses herd instinct, or tribalism, and its effect on our free-thinking ability. It explains how confirmation bias works to undermine our ability to recognize facts and use our logic to draw reasonable conclusions. Throughout, the book gives practical advice on how to counter these influences. Information regarding social and traditional media is presented to guide people in protecting themselves against "fake news" and "alternative facts" present in both media types. This book addresses the needs of citizens wishing to participate logically and meaningfully in their country's democracy. A must-read for patriotic citizens everywhere.
