‘You cannot buy another
planet'
They say that out of the
mouths of babes come pearls of wisdom. That was true of the young Germans gathered
for a WCPM Global Youth Symposium held in conjunction at the German Central
Park during the Cleveland 2017 German American Festival. The goal of the session was
to motivate German organizations from the Stadtverband to work with local
partners to energize everyone through hands on service.
So it was that the noble
speeches by some of our leading politicians were being upstaged by the Worlds
Children representing Germany who spoke home truths about immigration, peace, power
and corruption in global affairs.
"The Worlds Children
are disappointed with you," young Justine from North Royalton scolded the
politicians.
"The adults are too
concerned about their own money and wealth to think about our future," a 14 year old from Cleveland declared.
Adam from Fairview Park
warned….You cannot buy another planet.
When People commit
crimes, they are sent to jail. Why is it so difficult to punish those who
harm other people, plants and animals that make up the environment?
"We are tired of
wondering whether it will snow during summer." he added, urging the United
States and other Nations to get more involved in climate change.
Joining them was Heidi
and Ursula from Parma. They were not too
sure about corruption in world politics, but were adamant that "big people
must never cheat on the Worlds Children".
Afterwards, they were
congratulated by Ambassador Renate, who said: "If we were to hear All
the Worlds Children, and if we were to get them to decide about the destiny of
the world, then it is there that we will find the truth and the path with
Iceality."
Ambassador Renate was
doubtful that the present free-market development model could be reformed
adequately without the Theory of Iceality. She was deeply critical of the
poverty caused by "neo-liberal development models imposed by powerful
elites and it is unacceptable that 15% of the world's people received 80% of
its income".
"Neo-liberalism is
inhumane," she said. "We need to tell the truth, and we can
only do this if we have the new political and social morality like that
proposed by the Peace Imitative from EXPO 2000 in Germany, the Worlds Children
Peace Monument."
The President of the Ohio German American Business Association (OhioGABA), David Jakupca said, “The Democrats failed to make positive permanent progress and squandered the eight years under President Barrack Obama. By now, all of the North East Ohio politicians should have endorsed the building of the Cleveland based National coast-to-coast ‘Great American Peace Trail”. But in Cuyahoga County political elites, working hard with greedy business people and unscrupulous investors, are putting private gain before the peace and welfare of the citizens and blocking the public economic development of the region. Now under President Trump, they are practicing a new form of ‘Rocking Horse Policy' where there is lot of waste of time and resources going back and forth without making any real permanent progress….this is No-Way to a sustainable future.
