People's Resolution to Delegitimize War
All the wars we have fought, and continue to fight, are products of the old time. All of the future, henceforth, is a blessing of the new time. In the new time there is no war. There is no place for the recognition of legitimized aggression. In the new time, peace prevails. The victory of peace abolishes, once and for all, the instrument of war as a legitimate means for mediating human conflict. Lacking all art, war as a medium of communication is henceforth delegitimized and desanctioned as a valid recourse for human conduct. In delegitimizing war, the power vested in nation states is also delegitimized, for it is the nation states that have the power to 'declare war.
The activity of war is the technological testing ground of 12:60 industrial civilization. Once we have demonstrated that we can control war, which is nothing but legalized terrorism, we will be able to eliminate terrorism and domestic violence altogether. Eliminating the need for war, we will eliminate the need for the technologies that have created war as an inhumane and immoral value, replacing them instead with the innate creative faculties and powers vested in our own biology and culture.
The first step to eliminate war is to declare the Victory of Universal Peace which is rooted in the new time of Universal Peace, the time of the thirteen moons. The Victory of Universal Peace will become effective world-wide, Thirteen Moon Victory Day, Red Cosmic Moon, Crystal Moon 28, Third Year of Prophecy, (Gregorian, June 26, 1996). This date marks the conclusion of the Biospheric Amnesty. Henceforth, all institutions will begin voluntary cooperative peacetime deregulation into the conventions of the thirteen moons.
To enforce and manifest the Victory of Universal Peace and the establishment of the new Covenant of Biospheric Rights, the Roerich Peace Pact and Banner of Peace (1935) are invoked and extended to include protection of the entire biosphere. The biosphere itself is the cradle of all human culture and artistic activity. This means that Banners of Peace will be planted or raised at all arsenals of war, toxic waste dumps, current battle zones, polluting industries, ghettos and shanty towns, as well as parks, schools, government, historic and cultural sites, and wilderness regions of every kind in a collective demonstration by the peoples of the planet of upholding the primacy of the biosphere and the concurrent neutralization and delegitimization of all secondary fictions and instruments of war, whether against nature or humanity itself. Especially those industrial plants currently engaged in the manufacture and selling of lethal instruments of mass destruction will be identified, and served notice to immediately close down or begin conversion to peaceful activity.
Proclamations of the Victory of Universal Peace will announce the "52 Days of Victory," Crystal Moon 28, Third Year of Prophecy, to Magnetic Moon 22, Fourth Year of Prophecy, (Gregorian: June 26-August 16, 1996). These 52 days of universal cease fire and cessation of all sales of instruments of war will be accompanied by artistic, cultural, and educational programs of all kinds informing and uplifting the people regarding the new time of universal peace. At the center of these "52 Days of Victory," will be the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The Games will be used to showcase the meaning of peace as a creative form whose spiritual value transcends all bias and unifies all peoples in a higher vision.
