Comment to the Army Corps of Engineers on the Pebble Mine In Anchorage, Alaska

Our organization is working to create an international government based on the US Constitution, and the economic structure will be based on the principles of the cooperation of nature, which allows a sense of abundance for all. We believe the Earth is a closed ecosystem, and what affects one part affects the whole, and so environmental issues must come under the auspices of a global institution with the power to protect the environment and to keep it in its pristine condition. We believe mankind has the unalienable right to live in a pristine environment, and that no one has the right to pollute, and if there is a pollution crisis, those responsible must assume responsibility to undo the damage.

The international government will have eleven departments, including the International Departments of the Interior, Oceans, Natural Resources and Commerce, and they and their subcommittees will work together as stewards to keep our planet in a pristine condition, and to create an economic balance in the world that does not harm our environment. The departments will be made up of experts in their fields, and they will be autonomous, and act as advisers to the branches of the international government, which will take politics out of the equation. 

The Pebble Mine is unique because of the extremes between a pristine fisheries and a very lucrative mine, and because politics has entered into the crisis. The EPA has the constitutional authority to decide on this issue, and no one questions their authority, but there misunderstanding in the US legal system that is causing chaos, which must be purified before our constitution can be use as the basis for the international government, or the chaos will spread to the international level.

Many people see two levels to the US legal system--constitutional law and federal law--when there are actually three levels. The three levels are the Principles, the Power and the Project. What is oftentimes left out is Universal Law, and that is where we get our unalienable rights--to be able to create the life we want without interference, to be treated fairly and equally, and to have a voice in our government. Universal Law stands on the principles of Equality, Liberty, Freedom, Compassion, Abundance, Capacity and Tolerance. These principles allow for a sense of balance. When Universal Law is left out of the decision, our government can constitutionally justify power games that are oppressive to the people. It is a matter of the intent of the law as opposed to the letter of the law. Our government can justify denying the People our unalienable rights, which are granted to us by our Creator and guaranteed to us by our Constitution.

For example, the first requirement for conflict resolution is that both sides must be considered equal. If a court case is compared to a mini-war, for a fair trial, both sides must be considered equal under the law. When politics enters into the decision, how can there be a fair trial? When there is no equality under the law, the rights of the people are denied, and then our freedoms. Eventually, the abundance turns into lack. This crisis is occurring all over the planet. Natural resources go to benefit the few, rather than the whole, and actually become a curse to the people. such as blood diamonds in the DRCongo.

The solution to this crisis is to do what is in everyone's best interest. We recommend the decision be put on hold until the minerals can be extracted from the earth without risk of pollution or harm to the fish, and that the mining company can undo the damage any pollution causes, not just monetarily, but to be able to return the environment to its pristine condition.

Also, any technology that is introduced to extract minerals from the lands or the oceans must face global cultural review, and not be accepted until it can pass. The minerals in the oceans play an important role, and the extraction of minerals can affect life on the planet.
