_________________________________________
2008: U.S. Foreign and Energy Policy General Common Sense Expectations and Demands Based on Cyrus The Great Democratic Rainbow Coalition conceptWe are the citizens of the United States of America who represent the majority of the American people who strongly adhere to the following beliefs: 1) We believe in the concept of complete secularism in government, which generally means complete separation of the State from religion, or any ideology or philosophy which can be interpreted as religious (e. g. Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islamism, Judaism, etc., or extreme ideologies such as Fascism or Communism). Secularism can be considered as common sense versus Ideology. 2) Democracy without secularism and secular parties cannot survive and continue a tradition of freedom of choice when a non-secular regime comes to power, as demonstrated by the Nazi party in Germany, the Khomeinist regime in Iran, and more recently by the Hamas Party in Palestine. This principle has been proven historically many times and in many countries. 3) When there is religious intervention in the affairs of the public and the State, then it become necessary to make public the fact that a religion or its precepts have influenced governmental institutions. It becomes a duty of citizens, in the interests of freedom, to work to remove that religious influence, and restore secular governance. We believe that, in this century, real change starts with breakthroughs in less expensive and environmentally less-harmful energy sources such as hydrogen fuels, solar power, wind power, and geo-thermal energy, representing possibly safer alternatives to fossil fuels. The greatest changes for the better will be delivered by the world’s brilliant engineering minds, not politicians (Democrats or Republicans) who, for the past 40 years, have virtually ignored support for research in alternative sources of energy. We recommend that support for qualified candidates for public office be based on past good deeds and public service, independent of political party affiliation or pre-assigned tags of left, center, right, liberal or conservative. Our future expectations of policy makers and leaders with regard to foreign policy are defined by a new set of criteria based on test cases designed to be able to measure success and failure more objectively. Our recommended test cases and criteria are based on the vision of the founding fathers of the United States of America and those philosophies that informed them, including the works of Cyrus the Great, and Plato. We believe that this ancient and enduring spirit of freedom was embodied in the U.S. Constitution, and includes the following elements: 1- The implementation of a secular democracy 2- The implementation of enduring and inalienable Human/Women’s Rights 3- The implementation of a Free and Responsible Society 4- The promulgation of freedom and human rights at global level 5- The intent to gather moral and international support for the rejection of all religiously-based, gender-biased, racially-biased or apartheid, and ideologically extreme governments, realizing that these governments are a main source of creating fearful societies and terrorism in the world. Independently of who is chosen for public office in the elections of 2008, we resolve to remain vigilant, and to continue to pressure elected officials to move in the aforementioned directions, to help assure a better future for all freedom-loving, secularist peoples. We will continue to make use of any communication media available to us in order to further this cause. The struggle toward a better future will not end with any one election, and we will always remember that only Truth, Honesty, and Integrity have survived, and will survive, the test of time and history. Quick Overview of the Vision of Cyrus the Great: Cyrus the Great, the father of first Human Rights declaration over 2500 years ago, advocated the abolition of slavery and ethnic or racial discrimination, freedom to choose one's place of residence, freedom of religious belief, and the establishment of peace among nations. Such ideas are still alive and are clearly esteemed by all those who believe in human dignity and human rights. The Persians regarded Cyrus The Great as The Father, the Babylonians regarded him as The Liberator, the Greeks called him the Law-Giver, and the Jews called him the Anointed of the Lord. Prof. Richard Frye of Harvard University is quoted as saying, “…Surely the concept of One World, and the fusion of peoples and cultures in one 'Oecumen', was one of [Cyrus the Great’s] important legacies”. Therefore, Cyrus the Great is considered to be one of the greatest political leaders and liberators of all time. October 29th has been designated as the international day of Cyrus the Great, king of Persia , who declared the first charter of human rights in the world, which is also known as the ‘Cyrus Cylinder’. The Vision of the American Founding Fathers: The founding fathers -- George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams -- are extraordinarily impressive revolutionary figures, with unique educational influences. Recent research by historians has found that Cyrus The Great’s Book by Xenophon, and ‘The Prince’ by Machiavelli, were required reading among the American Revolutionary Founding Fathers. Personal copies of these books owned by Founding Fathers exist in Library of Congress. The drafting of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution was, however, more influenced by Cyrus The Great’s leadership and vision than Machiavelli. Cyrus The Great’s leadership vision is based on the ideas of a free society, human rights, sound moral values and a high code of ethics, versus the Machiavellian vision based on a fearful society, with perhaps immoral and unethical means advocated in order to control society. The American Founding Fathers were not essentially Machiavellian, and that is why they were able to create a great foundation upon which to build a nation. We should try to find an answer to the following question: How could the founding fathers have achieved so much in such a short period of time, while current generations seemingly cannot achieve nearly as much, although endowed with far superior technological power and knowledge? To safeguard our freedoms, we always remember James Madison’s famous statement: "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself [italics ours]. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.” The Federalist No. 51 (James Madison).

2005: Vision of Future For Change: Spirit Of Cyrus The Great Leadership Versus Machiavelli Vision (Draft Notes 02) Understanding the Vision of Future, problem domain, detecting inflection points, secular democracy, Cyrus The Great Leadership vision versus Machiavelli vision, Fear Society and Terror State versus Free Society and Human Rights are the key elements which should be examined to simplify our decision making process and direction based on facts, integrity, critical national and international issues for better future of mankind and not based on political parties vision, right, left , center, who wins today, who can spend more money to push certain agenda … . To safeguard freedom it is necessary to remind ourselves regarding James Madison famous statement: "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men! over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. " The Federalist No. 51 (James Madison). Where Are We And Facts About Our Small Planet? The perspective we get on Earth, our planet appears to be big and sturdy with an endless ocean of air. From space, astronauts often get the impression that the Earth is small with a thin, fragile layer of atmosphere. For a space traveler, the distinguishing Earth features are the blue waters, brown and green land masses and white clouds set against a black background. We should love and respect our small beautiful mother earth planet, because without it there is nothing to talk about it. Many dream of traveling in space and viewing the wonders of the universe. In reality all of us are space travelers. Our spaceship is the planet Earth, traveling at the speed of 108,000 kilometers (67,000 miles) an hour . As long as we can not create another planet like earth we must be careful not to destroy this planet environment for future generation. Today the planet earth has over 6 billion population with 1 billion over poverty and over 5 billions under poverty line with unproductive life and many problems. The Fanatics, FASCISTS, Islamic Fascists, Neo Colonialists Power (China, Russia, EU3 …), Terrorists, Islamists ..... are becoming the biggest obstacles for freedom and progress in this planet. The question is how can we change to enhance the quality of life and environment in this planet ? What is inflection point? Understanding inflection point can help leaders, decision makers and voters to detect a change in outlook for better decision making process. An inflection point is a point on a curve at which the sign of the curvature (i.e., the concavity) changes. Inflection points may be stationary points, but are not relative maxima or relative minima. For example, for the curve y=x to the power of 3 plotted above, the point x=0 is an inflection point. Mathematically, we encounter an inflection point when the rate of change of the slope of the curve (referred to as its "second derivative") changes sign, for instance, going from negative to positive. In physical terms, it's where a curve changes from convex to concave, or vice versa. As shown in the diagram, it's the point at which a curve stops curving one way and starts curving the other way." What is The Real World Strategic Inflection Point? Finding the real world social, political, historical, business, individual strategic inflection point is far more difficult to detect than Mathematical inflection points, requires knowledge, superb judgement and high level of awareness. Real world inflection point occurs where the old strategic picture dissolves and gives way to the new situation, allowing the social, political, historical, business, individual to ascend to new heights. However, if you don't detect and navigate our way through a peak and after the peak then the declines and disaster will occur. It is around such inflection points that are puzzled and observe, Things are different. Something major has changed and new direction, idea is needed to ascend not descend. What is the Reality Of Today? Based on today reality that less than one-half of one percent of all Americans made a political contribution of $200 or more to a federal candidate in 2004, when the average cost of winning a seat in the House of Representatives has topped $1 million. The abstract terms “Realist” ,“Idealist” and “National Interest” without clear substance are widely used by spectrum of right, left and center political categories to hide professional politicians real intentions, without clear policy to be able to flip flop as they need, this is called “Hypocrisy” . Unfortunately today “Hypocrisy” is the name of the game for short term gain in the name of “National Interest”, “Realist” and “Idealist …. this is why the great majority of Americans and others in free world are loosing interest in politics and don’t have much trust and respect for majority of today elected politicians. If we agree with this observation then we are at the inflection point period, this period of inflection point might take years relative to 1000s of years of human history. In order to expose the truth we need to avoid these abstract terms that has become muddy buzzword, and added a lot of complexity. In order to simplify for our complex time and better vision of future we should judge our professional politicians relative to main two dominating philosophical vision Machiavelli versus Cyrus The Great. Quick Overview Of Machiavelli Vision: Machiavelli discussed history and politics in purely human terms, and simply ignored moral consideration. Unfortunately Machiavelli is considered to be one of the principal founders of modern political thought. In chapter 17 of The Prince, Machiavelli discusses whether it is better for a prince to be loved or feared: "The reply is that one ought to be both feared and loved, but...it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one of the two has to be wanting ...for love is held by a chain of obligation which, men being selfish, is broken whenever it serves their purposes, but fear is maintained by a dread of punishment which never fails." Often, the most denunciation came from those who practiced what Machiavelli preached- a hypocrisy of which Machiavelli might approve, in principle! Therefore we should not judge politicians by their words but by their hard and difficult choices, actions, and great sacrifices. Quick Overview Of Cyrus the Great Vision: Cyrus the Great, the father of first Human Rights declaration over 2500 years ago, abolition of slavery and national or racial discriminations, freedom to choose one's place of residence, freedom of religious beliefs, and establishing peace amongst nations. Such ideas are still alive and clearly esteemed by all those who believe in human dignity and his rights. The Iranians regarded Cyrus The Great as The Father, the Babylonians as The Liberator, the Greeks as the Law-Giver, and the Jews as the Anointed of the Lord. According to Prof. Richard Frye from Harvard University “surely the concept of One World, .... the fusion of peoples and cultures in one 'Oecumen' was one of their important legacies”. Therefore Cyrus the Great considered as the greatest political leader and liberator of all time throughout human history. The American Founding Fathers Vision: The founding fathers - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams … are impressive revolutionary characters … Recent research by historians are stating the fact that Cyrus The Great Book by Xenophon and The Prince book by Machiavelli were the required reading by the American Revolutionary Founding Fathers and the personal copies of these books owned by Founding Fathers exists in Library of Congress . The drafting of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution was more influenced by Cyrus The Great leadership and vision than Machiavelli. Cyrus The Great Leadership Vision is based on Free Society, Human Rights, Moral values and high code of ethics versus Machiavelli vision which is based on Fear Society, Immorality and Unethical means to control society. The American founding fathers - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams … were not Machiavellian and that is why they have been able to create a great foundation for future. We should try to find answer to the following question, why the founding fathers have achieved so much in short period of time that our generation can not achieve with far superior power and knowledge? Today Simple Rules For Evaluating Policy and Strategy Our future expectations from policy makers and leadership are defined with new set of test cases for foreign policy evaluation criteria to be able to measure success and failure results more easily. Our recommended test cases and criteria are based on Cyrus The Great Spirit, the American founding fathers vision, spirit of freedom, US constitution and defined as follows: 1- Have a secular democracy purpose 2- Have a Human Rights purpose 3- Have a Free Society purpose 4- Have a primary effect to increase freedom at global level. 5- Have the element of War Of Ideas to expand public awareness, education and expansion of truth. 6- Have an element of Freedom of Choice 7- Applying the U.S.A. Supreme Court accepted "Lemon test," to foreign policy decisions, strategy and conduct. According to the "Lemon test," in order to be constitutional, a law or public act must: a) Have a secular purpose. b) Have a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion. c) Not result in excessive governmental entanglement with religion. 8- Move towards better unified global fair Justice System. 9- Separation Of Oil and State, Separation Of Blood Oil and Human Rights, Separation Of Blood Oil and Free Society, Separation Of Blood Oil and Secular Democracy and Stop Global Warming. Conclusion and Possible Direction: If we accept Cyrus The Great Leadership Vision, Free Society and Secular Democracy as a basis of far superior political philosophy and model for world order than current dominating Machiavelli model, then as first step we must distance ourselves from current model and old habit by evaluating elected officials position with the new set of rules. Due to the fact that there are many complex issues facing the world then you might consider to team up with others who agree with this concept to volunteer for the research regarding different issues to find the truth and by brainstorming session to choose a position or direction that is closer to our ideal. In this decision making process we should avoid to make our decision based on who is stronger today in political establishment or prejudging candidates based on political party affiliations or pre assigned tag of left, center, right, liberal or conservative…. Independent of who has been elected for different positions in the free world, we the people and Activists must be vigilant and continue to pressure elected officials to move in the right direction for better future by any means of Media available to the freedom-loving Activists . The public struggle of better vision of future should not end with the election and we must continuously be vigilant, remember only the Truth, Honesty, and Integrity will survive the test of time and history ….. To safeguard freedom always remember James Madison famous statement: "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.”
