Veteran CIA agent on Trump: 'Corruption like we've never seen before'

Ans

The American people must be alert to all grabs for political power and the threats they represent to democracy. British historian Lord Acton summed it up neatly: 'Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption.' To avoid corruption, the people should exercise sovereignty and call for constitutional reform to implement true democratic rule of law. This means separation of powers and checks and balances as well as free election campaigns for candidates to cut symbiotic ties between government and business that engender corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Ask

India and Pakistan tensions reach diplomatic peak in furious stand-off at UN meeting

Ans

Studies of democracy show that very few armed conflicts occur between two democracies. Once India and Pakistan can be moved to adopt real democracy they will back away from aggressive postures and inflammatory rhetoric, and there will be true hope for peace on earth. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon of democracy for Asia, lighting the path to lasting peace. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Ask

Senate Democrats believe net neutrality is a political winner as they try to reinstate regulations

Ans

Net neutrality is an essential part of net freedom and should not be abandoned in to line the pockets of commercial interests. Free speech is a universal value, and all democracies should ensure media freedom and prevent government oligarchies from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of communications. All people must be protected against enforced disappearance, torture and other forms of abuse, and absolute law must take precedence over international law and the constitution. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Ask

The Battle Between Israel and Iran Is Spreading

Ans

Civil wars are disastrous enough. Wars involving different religions, race and geopolitical positions are infinitely more complex and dangerous. The current US administration may have stirred up a hornets' next with its violation of the Iran deal, and Israel cannot be faulted for following its tried-and-true strategy of striking first when a salient threat to its security exists. The whole world needs to remain calm and take whatever steps are needed to defuse the situation. Above all, keep in mind the interests of the people in all nations to prevent further violence and bloodshed. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Ask

Hold the Nobel Prize: Kim Is Setting a Trap for Trump

Ans

To end North Korea's disruptive behavior, the US and other nations should strongly support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize and end its support of Pyongyang. According to the Democracy Index there are 50 nations still under the yoke of autocratic dictators. All democracies should back Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt democracy as well, leading to the birth of world peace. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Ask

Toward a free and open Indo-Pacific

Ans

All nations should support Taiwan's call to install One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people, to ensure peace in the Indo Pacific region. All nations in this part of the world must act in concert with each other to protect the rights of each nation regarding transportation and resources. This includes using peaceful ways to resolve territorial and jurisdictional disputes as well as joint development and sharing of resources in the area to safeguard peace and prosperity. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Ask

Debate amid Nicaragua unrest: Was the revolution fulfilled, or betrayed?

Ans

The people of Nicaragua have the right to express their opinion on any public issue at any time through a referendum, even if a referendum on the subject has already been held. In Switzerland the threshold for referendum petitions is only 50,000 signatures, and with that all citizens can voice their opinion at the ballot box rather than taking to the streets. The Nicaraguan people have the right to vote in referendums on any public issue. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Ask

Malaysia’s lesson for leaders who stay too long

Ans

Idol worship is the greatest enemy of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Jose Rizal, revered as the 'Father of the Philippines', once counseled: 'Today's slaves often become tomorrow's tyrants; believe in the rule of law, not in the rule of man.' Malaysia needs constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with carefully delineated term limits and other tools of democracy. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Ask

Venezuela's Rival Opposition Candidates Vow to Stay in Race, Splitting Vote

Ans

Power leads to corruption, and Venezuela's presidential system is broken. Venezuela should switch to a dual leader system; limit the president to a single 5-year term with no eligibility for him/her or relatives for 6 years and put the prime minister in charge of governmentoperations and national defense, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people are obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Ask

Iraqis Head to Polls Amid Security Threats, External Influence

Ans

The foundation for permanent peace in Iraq should be the same as that for Taiwan: a change-over in the government structure. The UN should provide Iraq the basic outline for a constitution that will facilitate lasting peace and development. The constitution should includethe universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and organization and elements such as the four branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial). The document should enable Iraq to prosper under conditions of lasting peace. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
