The following three sets of international treaties for arms control, disarmament, the control of emerging technologies, and international security are absolutely essential to reverse the covert drive for war, even world war, that is taking place at every level in human society, that has accelerated over the last 20 years, and has spun out of control over the last eight months.
Although these treaties cannot be realized overnight, and cannot be enacted by a Congress in the U.S. that is led by shills for private equity, billionaires, and weapons contractors, the decision to promulgate a serious proposal for meaningful arms control and disarmament treaties has tremendous value. It offers a road map to those who have been discouraged by the vain and self-serving blather of cardboard messiahs and limited-hangout “truth tellers” who refuse to face the truth about world war.
Demanding the drafting and signing of such treaties, including mutual inspection regimes, as opposed to globalist conniving, or the destructive fiction of isolationism, which suggests that we can simply withdraw into our shells, will be a transformative act for us and we will find allies where we least expect them to be when we embrace true internationalism, grounded in sovereign rights and opposed to globalism, either in its pure narcissistic form or disguised as nationalism.
Before we present a solution, it is critical that we firmly, and unambiguously, condemn the efforts of certain public intellectuals to denounce all efforts of the United Nations—and before the United Nations, the League of Nations—to establish treaties, guidelines and norms to regulate the military and to promote arms control and disarmament.
Although the United Nations, the League of Nations, and Hague Conventions before it, did not realize their full potential, and they included some corrupt elements, it is simply not true that they were tools of the globalists, or a plot by banks, to establish one world government.
The United Nations and the League of Nations served as a critical platform for the establishment of international strategies for peace and cooperation, and they developed sophisticated policies to promote disarmament, prohibit war crimes, and encourage diplomacy that made a difference.
It was the “globalists” who worked hard to keep the League of Nations and the United Nations from reaching their full potential because both institutions offered a vision for peace and international cooperation that undermined their financial plots.
The infection of the United Nations by global finance and the Gates Foundation (and other such catspaws of billionaires) is a consequence of the extreme power of money in the current political economy and the decay of ideology. Today, the wealthy employ the very institutions developed for promoting world peace against the citizens and to promote war as a way of generating financially beneficial consumption.
We need international institutions that serve the people and that can only be achieved if the nations that participate in them are run in a participatory manner so that money does not determine policy. We must fight at the local level to guarantee transparency and the rule of law and that will allow us to establish meaningful treaties. If national governments are run by multinational corporations, there will be no meaningful international treaties.
It is mistaken to assume that arms control treaties are not possible, or not enforceable. They have worked in the past and they are the only effective way to protect ourselves.
Of course, if governments are the puppets of global finance, then yes, such treaties will be impossible.
But history shows that it is possible for nations to create a civil service that works for the people in a transparent and accountable manner, granted the innate limitations of human nature.
It is possible to sign binding treaties on weapons that include inspection regimes, and it is possible for the U.S. to accept and embrace invasive inspection regimes for its corrupt and decadent military-industrial complex. It is not an issue of law, or of science, but rather of will.
International treaties for arms control and disarmament, including inspection regimes, are the only thing that can save our sick nation at this point, that can give us a new birth of freedom, and a government of the people, by the people and for the people that shall not perish from the Earth.
Proposed Treaties and International Agreements Take the Form of Three Sets:
Set One: The full implementation of existing treaties and proposals for treaties for arms control and disarmament
Set Two: Proposals for new treaties that address emerging weapons and their proliferation
Set Three: Treaties and agreements that bring the quest for international peace and security up-to-date
Set One: The full implementation of existing treaties and proposals for treaties for arms control and disarmament
1. International treaties limiting conventional weapons
The United States with other nations will draft and sign robust and enforceable treaties on conventional arms between the major powers that will limit the numbers of tanks, bombers, fighter planes, warships, conventional artillery, and troop size and that will be enforced through mutual transparent inspection regimes to be honored by all nations of the Earth—starting with the United States. The 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) will serve as a starting point for the negotiations for these treaties that will extend also to missiles and other conventional weapons systems. The treaties will be linked to concrete steps to take the profit out of weapons sales and to promote peace and international cooperation in a concrete manner around the world.
2. Set of international treaties limiting, and then eliminating, nuclear weapons
A comprehensive treaty for the reduction and elimination of nuclear weapons will be drafted and signed by the United States in which it, and the other nuclear powers, fully embrace the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1968. All nations with nuclear weapons, starting with the United States, will follow the imperative for “the cessation of the manufacture of nuclear weapons, the liquidation of all their existing stockpiles, and the elimination from national arsenals of nuclear weapons and the means of their delivery pursuant to a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control” expressed explicitly in the original treaty. Because the realization of this part of the treaty has been criminally overlooked by the United States and other nuclear powers, all attention must be focused on this first step.
As part of that process, the United States and the other nuclear powers will join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and start to dismantle their arsenals immediately.
All nuclear weapons will be eliminated within ten years by the United States, and other nations, and the radioactive materials employed within those weapons will be designated as sensitive substances and kept out of the hands of any organization that might use them for a military purpose. The end of the nuclear power system, and corporate lobby, must be a part of this process so as to ensure the end of nuclear weapons.
3. Treaty on lethal autonomous weapons systems
The United States will take the United Nations resolution on the Dangers of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (2023) as the basis for a comprehensive international treaty banning the development, sale, and deployment of autonomous weapons systems. The United States will draft and promulgate such a treaty in cooperation with the other nations of the Earth.
4. Ban on weapons in space
The United States will draft with the other nations of the Earth a comprehensive treaty banning weapons from space, and strictly regulating the deployment of satellites with military or dual-use functions. The treaty will build on the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 banning weapons of mass destruction in space, this time establishing a binding treaty, supported by mutual inspection regimes, that grows out of the 1981 United Nations resolution “Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space.”
Among the measures that will be included in the treaty to end the militarization of space will be the banning of the deployment of satellites, and the launch of cargos into space, by private for-profit corporations, and a ban on the development of space-based weapons. All deployment of satellites in space, or other objects, must be carried out in a completely transparent manner by public monopolies that are accountable to the government and to the international community at every level so as to assure that they have no military functions.
Armed satellites and spacecraft will be prohibited by the treaty. Other weapons systems that include the use of satellites will be eliminated over the next ten years.
Strict regulations on satellites with possible military/intelligence use will be enforced and the use of satellites to observe the Earth will be subject to careful control regimes that assure that the information cannot be abused using international inspection regimes.
5. Ban on landmines and cluster bombs
The United States will enact a robust international ban on landmines that follows the conventions established by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, and will join the Convention on Cluster Munitions and enact an international ban on all cluster munitions, including a prohibition on research and development of such inhuman weapons. The ban on landmines and cluster bombs can be covered by a single international treaty.
Set Two: Proposals for new treaties that address emerging weapons and their proliferation
1. Treaty limiting the use of radioactive substances
The full range of dangerous technologies related to radioactive substances and nuclear technologies must be regulated, and eventually eliminated, and the weaponization of radioactivity must be banned, through an international treaty. That treaty will recognize the dangers of all radioactive materials, the threats posed by nuclear power for the environment and health, and the innate linkage of nuclear power to the development of nuclear weapons. The treaty will set up a strict regulation and enforcement regime for nuclear technologies in general that makes them unprofitable so that they cease to be opportunities for exploitation and profit.
Weapons such as depleted uranium shells, hybrid nuclear/conventional weapons, and other weapons systems that employ radioactive materials will be prohibited by this treaty. A strict regime for the long-term control of radioactive substances will be established internationally that will permit the use of radioactive materials for medical treatments and other scientific processes, but strictly regulate that process.
2. Treaty banning nano-weapons
The secret development and deployment of nano-weapons around the world by nation states and multinational corporations is one of the greatest threats we currently face and must be addressed by an international treaty. Nano-weapons (whether nano-robots, hydrogel or nano-particles) are being introduced covertly into medicines, foodstuffs, water and the air as weapons that target the health and mental well-being of citizens.
Such nano-weapons will be strictly prohibited by an international treaty demanding that the true nature of current nano-weapons programs be made public (as they are currently developed and deployed in secret) and that nano-robots, nano-particles and other nano-substances with dual use must be strictly regulated.
3. Treaty regulating drones, robots and satellites, and banning the most dangerous versions
The United States will lead the establishment of a series of international treaties that severely limit the use of armed drones, robots, and satellites, including the prohibition of the most dangerous of them. The regulations will extend to drones, robots and satellites that have potential dual use.
There must be stringent limits on the use of armed drones, robots and satellites (both autonomous and remotely controlled) and also control over the development of potentially dangerous new technologies. In the future, in order to reduce opportunities for abuse of such technologies, they will be handled exclusively by regulated public monopolies and kept out of the hands of private corporations which stand to profit from their manufacture and deployment.
4. Treaty banning the use of energy weapons
The development of dangerous new energy weapons is highly destabilizing and, because these weapons are effectively unregulated, they are already being employed covertly. The U.S. will draft and sign with other nations a comprehensive international treaty that bans energy weapons and that will strictly regulate all devices with potential dual use.
The international treaty will ban directed-energy weapons and prohibit their deployment in space, in the air via airplanes and drones, on tanks, trucks and boats, and elsewhere. The development of the relevant technologies for directed-energy weapons will be subject to strict international control conventions, including mutual open inspections.
Other energy weapons currently being developed, including electromagnetic radiation weapons (often disguised using the term 5G), microwave radiation weapons, infrared radiation weapons, terahertz radiation weapons, and other energy weapons currently being developed and deployed must be declassified, made open knowledge, and then subject to strict bans and/or regulations on development and deployment.
Bans, restrictions and robust inspection regimes will not be limited to weapons systems, but will also cover dual use technologies (such as 5G or infrared cameras) that can be rendered as a weapon through a turnkey maneuver at any moment.
5. International treaty banning bioweapons
The United States will draft and sign a comprehensive global treaty that bans the development, deployment and use of bioweapons of a variety of forms (to be determined in negotiations). The term bioweapon refers not only to viruses, bacteria and other biological materials that have been modified to serve as weapons, but also to weapons innocuously disguised as medicines, including it has been alleged, the COVID-19 vaccines. Nano-technologies are also in some cases bioweapons.
The treaty will set in place walls that prevent the weaponization of medical and scientific research. Above all, there will be a clear wall that separates 1) scientific inquiry into the nature of natural phenomena; 2) the development of medications and treatments; 3) the speculation of private capital; and 4) the development of weapons and security-related technologies.
6. International treaty banning all weather modification programs
The United States will establish an international treaty banning all programs for weather modification globally and making it a crime to release chemicals (or particles) into the atmosphere aimed at modifying the weather, at contaminating the water or soil, or harming the health of citizens. Such actions will be considered to be acts of war, even if they are supposedly undertaken to fight climate change, and the chemicals or devices released will be considered as weapons.
The atmosphere belongs to all citizens of the Earth and any effort to contaminate the atmosphere, to affect the climate, or to contaminate the water or the soil will be seen as a grievous attack on all citizens of the Earth. This treaty will have broad implications for air pollution as well—making it impossible for corporations to pollute the air with impunity.
All existing weather-modification programs will be immediately declassified and, if criminal intent is revealed, legal action will be taken.
7. Strict international regulation of GMO technology and ban on GMO weapons
The United States will establish an international treaty banning the use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) plants and animals, as well as weapons that cause the genetic modification of plants, animals and humans using biological or nanotechnological means. The weaponization of plants, animals and humans by means of GMO technology as a means of controlling sources of food, destroying biodiversity, and modifying humanity is an act of war, and the GMO technologies thus employed, including vaccines, should be designated as weapons.
This long-term project to establish slavery and subjugation through the use of GMO technologies must be stopped. We will create a strict inspection regime to enforce this international treaty prohibiting the development and use of GMOs, as well as the technologies employed to surreptitiously modify the genetic material of plants and animals.
Set Three: Treaties and agreements that bring the quest for international peace and security up to date
1. Treaty banning supercomputer-assisted mass psychological operations
The United States will propose an international treaty banning the use of supercomputers to coordinate mass psychological operations that employ false narratives, the disruptive stimulation of the brain through advertisements and media, electromagnetic radiation, and other tools so as to induce a hypnotic state or to impede rational thinking by citizens.
The treaty will prohibit the destruction of the capacity of citizens to think for themselves through the use of addictive, repetitious, or mentally degrading stimulation. Such weapons are currently being deployed and employed through the corporate media, educational institutions, the internet, and elsewhere around the world.
The strategy of using supercomputers that run sophisticated algorithms driving international campaigns to dumb down, distract and delude citizens using a weaponized media-entertainment-education complex must be rightfully identified as a criminal campaign, an act of war, and the tools employed, such as supercomputers and social media algorithms, must be designated as weapons that are potentially even more dangerous than bombs in that they attack the ability of citizens to think independently.
We must develop international regulations on such weapons of psychological manipulation that will be strictly enforced through an international treaty, including inspection regimes for supercomputer banks so that wealthy citizens (and the trusts and corporations that represent them) cannot employ computers that run complex psychological operations to manipulate the entire population of the Earth.
2. Treaty banning the military use of Antarctica, the Arctic, the oceans, and other wildlands
The United States will establish an international treaty to ban the military use Antarctica, the Arctic, the oceans, and other natural wildlands around the world.
The vast majority of the natural formations of the Earth shall be placed off limits to military activity, and in many cases for commercial exploitation as well.
The United States will strengthen the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 so as to end all military use of Antarctica, starting with the declassification of all current projects that will reveal and terminate, all of the illegal and unethical uses of Antarctica by the U.S. military, and other militaries, taking place today.
We will establish a similar treaty for the Arctic that will ban all military exploitation of that region by all militaries and intelligence agencies of the United States and other countries. Moreover, we will establish large sections of the oceans and of wildlands (forests, jungles and mountains) that will be similarly off limits for use by the military, and also off limits for commercial exploitation.
The sea floors will be off limits for military exploitation, and also for commercial exploitation for minerals, gas and oil. We must protect the ocean for future generations, looking forward for hundreds of years, and not destroy them for the short-term profits of corporations. We will also set substantial restrictions on the use of destructive fishing technologies.
New technologies for digging tunnels beneath the Earth’s surface will be tightly regulated, perhaps in a separate treaty, especially tunnels with military, or dual use, applications. The Earth beneath our feet, and the sky above our heads, is the common property of all of humanity that no one has a right to exploit, above all not in a covert manner.
The protection of the natural environment for future generations will be the primary mandate in security discourse in the United States. The role of future militaries, after revolutionary reforms, will be to protect those natural environments.
3. Ban on secret treaties for diplomatic and security cooperation
The current crimes against humanity taking place around the world, whether rigged up military conflicts, false-flag operations, or covert actions to kill (quickly or slowly) citizens through radiation, false medications, food additives, pesticides, and other weapons would not be possible if not for the presence of a lattice of secret treaties that permit such clandestine cooperation in the development and deployment of such weapons between nations, multinational corporations and banks, and international governmental organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank.
These secret agreements currently overrule the constitutions, local and national laws, as well as the chains of command within nation states (and in international bodies) in a manner that is illegal, unconstitutional, and unethical.
Secret agreements in the form of non-disclosure agreements for employees, secret contracts, classified directives and national security letters, or secret laws and guidelines issued by nations, global organizations, or private corporations and banks make possible an invisible chain of command that is beyond the reach of the political system and is capable of overruling every organization in the nation. Such practices are pernicious and dangerous.
We will establish an international treaty that will severely limit the use of secret treaties and agreements (including non-disclosure agreements and secret laws) between nations, multinational corporations and international organizations as a means to determine policy and process.
The treaty will require that all such secret treaties and agreements (whether agreements between governments, or between multinational corporations, intelligence sharing agreements, or other cooperative agreements between governments and private entities) that are illegal or unethical must be declassified and made available to the public.
4. Bring the definition of the actors making political and security decisions up-to-date through a revision of the language of international law and treaties
Efforts to promote diplomacy are hobbled by forced adherence to outdated concepts concerning the actors involved in international relations which are promoted so as to obscure the true players who make policy.
Citizens, scholars, government officials and politicians currently are forced to speak only in terms of nation states in the discussion of diplomatic and security policy. This practice continues even though it is self-evident that political decisions are not made by presidents and ambassadors but, rather, by private equity and investment banks, multinational corporations, global special interests such as the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, and the Gates Foundation, and other opaque and undemocratic institutions that serve the rich and powerful.
The United States will draft and promote an international treaty that lays out clearly who these non-state actors are and how they will be treated in the discussion on international relations and in practice. These institutions are too powerful, and too dangerous, to be permitted to operate at will in secret.
Whereas the term “non-state actors” is employed to refer exclusively to terrorist organizations in current policy debate, the fact is that many non-state actors exist which are not terrorist organizations and they have displaced nation states as the functional unit in international relations in many cases—many are involved in planning and carrying out state crimes.
We must extend the use of the term “non-state actor” to include multinational banks, private equity, private trusts, multinational corporations, political consulting and lobbying firms, the private research and PR teams of wealthy individuals and families, and the forest of pay-to-play private intelligence firms. Together, these organizations work to corrupt and subvert the rule of law in nation states and they must be treated as threats, at times as criminal institutions, that are formally named in the discourse on security and international relations and responded to directly.
Their illegal activities, and their manipulation of government policy in nation states through institutionalized bribery, cannot be dismissed as lobbying and consulting, but must be treated explicitly in public discourse on international relations, and in treaties and security agreements, as corruption, as an attack on the nation, and as a tremendous threat to international security.
For example, we will identity those parts of the United States Department of Defense, or of the intelligence community, that no longer serve as part of the United States government due to privatization or infiltration by such non-state actors as private equity and investment banks.
When appropriate, we will bring criminal charges against those units responsible for state crimes and strip them of all authority as a government institution. Their members will no longer be permitted to employ clearance to hide their crimes, and all classified documents and non-disclosure agreements related to such criminal syndicates will be made public.
5. International treaty that establishes clear institutional walls domestically and internationally between 1) finance, 2) scientific research, 3) the development and manufacture of weapons, and 4) health-care and medical treatment
The dangerous merger of finance, science, weapons and medicine has created deadly alliances for profit between fields that should be inherently autonomous and distinct, thus leading to a weaponized medical system aimed at unsuspecting citizens.
The United States will take the lead in drafting a set of international treaties, and domestic laws, that establish clear walls between banks and financial institutions, scientific research institutions and universities, weapons manufacturers, and medical and health care providers that follow the model of the Glass-Steagall (Banking) Act of 1933 which separated investment and commercial banking so as to avoid dangerous speculation.
Banks will be limited to the cooperative function of serving the needs for finance of individual citizens and prohibited from speculation in scientific research, weapons or health care.
Scientific research at institutes and universities will be conducted as an investigation of natural phenomena, or an effort to provide technologies that improve the lives of citizens in a concrete and unambiguous manner, and will be separated from financial speculation, the production of weapons, or any efforts to create profits from medical treatments.
Weapons are necessary at some level in human society, but will be produced only by highly regulated public monopolies for specific purposes, and the manufacturers must be cut off from all ties to financial speculation by banks, and to scientific research in its pure form, and the medical field.
Health care and medicine must focus on the well-being of citizens, on diet, air and water quality, food quality and nutrition, exercise, long-term health, and treatment of acute injuries and diseases as well as chronic conditions.
Although the government can play a role in supporting health care, health care must be cut off from the speculation of banks and from the development of biological weapons. Health care is intimately connected to scientific research, but it must be at a distance from that process, lest citizens become the subjects of research and development themselves, rather than the beneficiaries of effective treatments.
The most important aspect of these treaties will be taking the profit out of speculation in weapons and weapons systems and thus eliminating the incentive for conflict.
A lively debate among experts and citizens on the nature of a healthy financial system, on science and technology, on security, and on health care must be conducted in an objective environment that assures that profit plays no role in the assessment of the interests of society.

Sounds good, only the US is currently run by a large pack of hyenas. Many other countries are also in the grip of madmen, bent on conquest or destruction. We are a long way from these treaties and going in the wrong direction. It’s a nice thought, though.
