This email is Circulating among millions of university students, staff
and professors and peace and democracy activists and in internet
forums around the world in at least 45 countries and on every continent.
Unless and until transcendant events unfold to quickly bring gender
balanced, racially and ethnically reconciliatory true government and
fully inclusive democracy to office in all the world, we face global
disaster, emergency and degradation beyond our worst nightmares in
the next months or years. Yet, in this Season of global Good Will in
the age of global interconnection, this miracle of Peace and
Provident Sustainability can be born. Today's crisis of world
mostly-monogenderment, may well be the path and prelude to, and the
greatest opportunity for, all our whole human and Holy awakening
of consciousness:
The Awareness of Gender Balanced True Government=20
is Being Born and Awakened Everywhere on Earth.
A new consensus on the definition of government is developing
worldwide. If an officialdom hasn't achieved 75% gender balance (at
least 37.5% offices held by women as well as 37.5% held by men), it
does not have democracy and is not seen as a true government, party
or election, nor a globally fit diplomatic organization. If it is not
at least that balanced, it cannot sustain peace and provident
prosperity, as well as interracial and international reconciliation
for our world. Such an entity is, then, a mostly "monogenderment"
and not a true, spiritually ethical government until such balance of
male and female is achieved to consider all problems and together
find the best future for each and all the worlds' regions, and with
others on our interconnected earth.
In fact, Gender Balanced True Government is and has Always Been
Inherently Present and Spread Upon the Earth. We need only to bring
it to full Empowerment, in awareness first and then urgently and
quickly to office, to bring forth the full synergistic wisdom of it.
In addition to the countries of Scandinavia, (Sweden, Denmark,
Finland, Norway and Iceland) many more countries are at or very near
gender balance, such as Costa Rica, Netherlands, Germany, France
(Gender Parite), Argentina, Mozambique, South Africa, New Zealand,
India (legislation in progress), Canada (Senate). and others; so are
many provinces and states, such as California in the US, many in
China, India, and Europe among others, and so are thousands of cities
all continents, especially Europe, (all cities in France enjoy gender
50-50), most global unions, parties, universities, as well as
thousands of cities, schools boards, and philanthropic and community
organizations. =20
According to the website of the International Parliamentary Union
(IPU), which is seen by many as the partner organizations to the
"UN", the US is ranked 58 in gender balance, the UK, ranked 49, and
Iraq, ranked 93. These, then, are mostly-monogenderments, and not
yet True Governments capable of sustainability without danger to
their own citizens, world populations and Nature; their technology
has outpaced their whole democracy and humanity.=20
Even more importantly, the still Gender Imbalanced "UN" has been
unable to resolve the situation and the numerous difficulties of the
Mideast, as well, All these countries, and the "UN"'s, and especially
the so-called "Security Council" member countries' decades of lack
of sufficient attention to the gender balance concept in their
leadership and functioning, (that has been raised with them by many
groups below), has, in large part, caused the present crises,
especially in the Middle East, but also dramatic backsliding on
democracy in the US and UK, as well. All this has ramifications for
worldwide cultural reconciliations as well as energy and
environmental strategies involving the entire planet for good or ill
- indeed, the very life of the planet itself.=20
The crisis will resolve when the UN leadership begins to work with
the IPU leadership and other world citizens as gender balanced male
and female partners, and bring these issues to widespread world
attention more publically, especially with Security Council members,
but with all member countries, and with world populations at large,
as both men and women activists are doing, especially over the
Internet.
The IPU or InterParliamentary Union, which has been called the
partner organization of the "UN", includes a Gender Partnership
Leadership which is increasing its consultation and watchdog
activities at the "UN", as are many others concerned about the issue.
Until the "UN" achieves gender balance reform in its offices,
ambassadorships, and criteria for voting membership, it is currently
being called the Unbalanced Ununited Mostly-Monogenderment- UUMM. =20
Only a gender balanced and gender balance-valuing, mobilized world
consciousness and citizenry is capable of Peace and Provident
Sustainability. This community worldwide at universities,
organizations and internet forums has been sharing emails such as this
one.
In this Season of expressing Global Good Will of all men and women,
those listed below and many more are becoming Beneficently Powerful,
as they connect with and unite with grass roots women and men of
balance around the world, on the critical importance of bringing the
gender balanced True Government of the world into conscious awareness
and official office. This is especially essential for organizations
chartered to sustain the Peace, Democracy and Environment of Our Planet.

and there are many others
By definition of human nature itself, only leadership that re-presents
BOTH human genders well, in mutual ongoing daily dialogue and
decision-making democracy with each other, is true human government
for our world. Only such balance can best reflect the Endowed wisdom
given into gendered humanity. Only such balance sustains life and
produces peace.
