Towards a New World
JH Bernstein memorial day May 25th 2020
A new shared humanity, a new way of looking at the world,
should grow from the experience of the worldwide pandemic of
the Covid- 19 virus.
We, all of humanity, every nation, every ethnic and religious
group, every color and every race, shared and suffered under this
common enemy; reaffirming the equal value of every human
being on every point of this earth.
This basic truth, known for millennia, has now, I believe,
entered the conscience of every single human, in every corner of
the planet… we all arise as one Family, are we all fall as one
Family.
The virus knows no social-economic Barrier or National border,
the virus does not differentiate between rich and poor, Black or
white, first world or third world, but attacks each human being
relentlessly; even more so the poor and sick and old… who have
not the benefit of good healthcare, nor the fortitude and fortune
to have proper nutrition, proper exercise, or a living viable
sufficient livelihood.
Exposure of any one group on this planet, threatens all, thus
driving home the simple truth, and shared principle, that all
humanity is one family on one shared planet Earth.
I. A necessary reordering of economic rights
In the human family, a child is not fired nor furloughed, nor
thrown out into the streets, nor ever denied the basic human
rights of shelter, substance and food, Health care and love.
Likewise, no worker shall ever be fired, terminated, furloughed;
or left without an income to support and feed and shelter and
provide healthcare to one’s family. Every human being is
entitled to a living wage, so as to provide a decent and good life
to one’s family.
II. A Full and complete renunciation of all forms of warfare,
violence, and intimidation.
Warfare is incongruous with the basic human right to life and
freedom, and freedom from fear and violence; it is a complete
waste of resources, and is a breeding ground for disease and
plague and pandemic. Warfare has no place in the modern
world, period. The complete renunciation of all forms of
warfare, civil War, violence and terror must be immediate,
unanimous and world encompassing; inclusive of all weapons of
mass distraction, nuclear, chemical and most of all biological
(disease pathogens). (robust police enforcement and legal and
criminal enforcement must remain, without the unnecessary evil
of standing armies and weapons of Mass warfare. Nations like
Japan and Costa Rica have already abandoned warfare, as
justified under any circumstances; as expressed in their national
constitutions.
III. A shared and robust international and national public
health authority based on the model of the CDC
A shared and robust international and national public
health authority based on the model of the CDC and
World Health Organization, with a vastly increased
abilities to monitor and prevent pandemics and disease.
