Make America Good Instead

America has by far the greatest military power in the world. We are virtually impregnable. Unfortunately, power corrupts and America has been corrupted by this power. Here, power trumps morality. When we look back at all the death and destruction that the US has caused, more by far, than any other country, corrupting power is responsible. We need to make America good instead. Our foreign policy has abandoned morality for power. This power has manifested itself in America launching considerably more wars, bombings, invasions, government overthrows, plain terror, than any other country. Besides, US sanctions are a devastating killer too. Without firing a single bullet, since 1970 to the present,  the 2025 Lancet Global Health study found that  sanctions (which are illegal)  by America, along with their puppet, the European Union (EU),  is responsible for 38 million deaths. According to AI, the United States imposes some form of financial penalty or sanctions on over 30 countries and regions, covering roughly one-third of all nations.

 It is no wonder that we have elected a president who has no morality at all. Morality should be a fundamental requirement for president.

America has deteriorated to the point that it has committed genocide with Israel against the Palestine people. Committing genocide! It does not get more immoral than that.

Besides, this genocide was supported by both Democratic and Republican parties. I am sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils for president. Right now, being good is a political liability. Politicians that oppose genocide face defeat. We need a party that is good. We need a  foreign policy that is good. We need to make America good instead of power hungry displaying paranoia. We need to make America earn the respect and admiration of the world instead. We need to make America good instead.

Here are six examples of how to accomplish that. Instead of:

1. war department, establish a peace department charged with improving relations with all countries, especially hostile countries
2. US sanctions, seek and abide by UN sanctions and drop all present US sanctions which are all illegal. UN sanctions require accuser, trial, defense and judges. Right now in US sanctions, the US is accuser, judge and imposes arbitrary penalties with no defense allowed.
3. ignoring the International Criminal Court (ICC), become a full member. Currently the ICC has 124 member countries and enables the prosecution of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression.  With unbelievable arrogance, the US imposes harsh sanctions on their judges if they do not like their decisions.
4. ignoring the International Court of Justice (ICJ), join the 74 other countries that accept its jurisdiction. The International Court of Justice is composed of 15 judgeselected to nine-year terms of office by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council. 
5. maintaining over 750 military bases all over the world, phase them out to zero.
6. providing a presidential choice of the lesser of two evils, make the vote choice be good over evil or better yet, all good. Alas,  the greater of the two evils was elected the last time.

I have written three non-fiction books, namely: Boycott Money and Save Your Soul – Launching The Goodwill Revolution, Leave The Rat Race To The Rats and A Jamaica Poor No More. The central theme of all three books is advocating peace and goodwill to all regardless. This should not be limited to individuals only, but should apply to countries too.
