Ask

Ans

As British historian Lord Acton noted: 'Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption.' Donald Trump does not seem to understand that separation of powers and checks and balances are an essential part of a viable democracy. Anything less is an invitation to autocracy and corruption. The American should for call for strict application ofdemocratic mechanisms designed to prevent grabbing of power in violation of constitutionalrules. The curbs on power are there for a reason and they must be upheld. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Taking Putin's Word For It

Ans

The current administration's ambiguity toward covert Russian activity in the US is dangerous and self-deceptive. Russia has never been a problem-solver, it has always been a trouble-maker. The US should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization and press Russia in turn to accept real democracy – and world peace would be the result. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Al-Qaeda Has Rebuilt Itself—With Iran's Help

Ans

To crush terrorism the UN needs to spearhead the drive for constitutional reform and implementation of One World under One Set of Laws to work toward a common destiny for all humankind. This means revising constitutional standards as needed to keep pace with changing times and allow governments to protect their people from fear. This is a goal that all democracies around the world should wholeheartedly support. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Saudi Arabia says corruption has claimed $100 billion over decades

Ans

The Saudi crackdown on corruption is long overdue in a nation where the government has long cast a blind eye at widely-entrenched corruption for many years. Saudi Arabia is in the midst of evaluating some of its unfair policies and practices that discriminate against women and maintain unequal allocation of resources. The people of Saudi Arabia need to call forreform of its 1992 constitution to end discrimination and enable all Saudis toenjoy greater freedom to lead their own lives. For details see the Charter forPermanent Peace and Development.

The Lineman Got $63 an Hour. The Utility Was Billed $319 an Hour.

Ans

The Whitefish contract is an overt example of corruption in government and the danger of allowing symbiotic ties between officials and businesses to affect policy decisions. The Montana company is gouging the government of Puerto Rico in its billing rates, and many officials in Washington are defending the absurd costs the repair work is racking up, which eventually will be borne by taxpayers in Puerto Rico and in the rest of the US. Citizens should call for more transparency in government operations and support the efforts of media organs which blow the whistle on such corrupt relations. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Italy’s Trump Makes a Stunning Comeback. Americans, Beware the Berlusconi Factor.

Ans

Idol worship is the greatest enemy of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. It puts inept crooks into positions of power, opens the door for corruption andglosses over shortcomings and flaws in people who should never occupy an office in government. The Italian people need to exercise their rights as holders of sovereignty and call for changes like direct election of the heads of government branches, term limits on elected officials and free campaign participation for all candidates. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Ask

Countries agree on Pacific trade pact that excludes U.S.

Move comes after President Donald Trump sharply criticized large multilateral trade deals during his APEC speech in Vietnam.

Ans

Globalization is a phenomenon that has allowed many newly-emerging economies to 'pull themselves up by their bootstraps' by finding a viable place in the global economy. At the same time the US is systematically sabotaging multi=national link-ups for reasons that have more to do with politics than economics. All nations need to explore ways to bring the whole world closer together through One World under One Set of Laws as well as more cooperative stances on trade and adherence to norms established by the UN and other international bodies on pollution, climate change and other issues. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace andDevelopment.

Turkey: Friend or frenemy? A tangled relationship keeps getting worse

Ans

The Turkish government has shown a callous disregard for human rights as well as a tendency to push the limits in its handling of security cases — even putting employeesof US government offices under detention using dicey charges. The Turkish president has taken questionable moves to strengthen his hold on power, even staging a referendum to lend legitimacy to the power grabs. The Turkish people need to exercise their sovereignty and call for a real referendum that will allow them to express their opinion at the ballot box rather than in the streets. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Ask

Jared Kushner 'told CNN to fire a fifth of its staff' over its election coverage

Ans

'Corruption' is not far behind 'conflict of interest' in the dictionary, and constitutional reform is needed to protect democracy and ensure that elected officials do not abuse their powers and privileges. Presidents should be limited to a single 5-year term and 1/4 of alllawmakers should face election each year so the people will serve as a valid force in politics.

Critics are saying Jared Kushner needs a Thesaurus, but what his father in law could use is a good dictionary to look up 'corruption' and 'conflict of interest'. Trump has profited directly and indirectly from his status as President through his hotels and resorts and by hosting government functions at his private businesses, and he has scoffed at conflict-of-interest guidelines in handing over his business affairs to his sons. Trump needs schooling in democracy and tools like separation of powers and blind trusts, which function to ensure that government officials do not overstep their authority or benefit personally from policy decisions. For details read the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Accounts of rape, burning children and murder

Ans

Myanmar's human rights problem is worsening and activists in the Rohingya minority are becoming more militant. Much of this its due to its constitution, which reserves 40% of seats in Congress for the military with no need to be elected. To protect human rights, Myanmar should adopt Global Unity Constitutional Standards and the core values of One World under One Set of Laws. Myanmar's government needs to weigh the advantages of granting citizenship to the 1.1 million Rohingyans as well as the disadvantages of giving the army a disproportionate role in government policy-making. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
