Let's Protect Ourselves & Our One Precious Earth by Aiming Together at "Highest Civic Ideals"

• Together: Let's face stark reality. Our world is in trouble. Everyone is at risk, and we are in a race with time. Climate Change is happening fast, and events could easily spin out of control. Nuclear Winter — 100% unacceptable! — IS STILL quite possible after 80 years in the Nuclear Age. We are tempting Murphy's Law (which by logic, will eventually prevail.) Cyber mischief, unethical behavior, and even systematic or accidental violence threaten everyone. Many if not most people are not really happy — even with their own personal and professional relationships. Given this complex predicament, Cooperative Universal Values Education & Inspiration will help a lot. By sharing positive declared values — Highest Civic Ideals — that transcend cultural differences,  people everywhere can rise above outdated "isms" and pull together with more harmony. This is essential to tip the balance of global reality toward more safety, economy, sustainability, and happiness for all of integrity and good will.
• Perfection is not our goal. That, of course, would be unrealistic. But declaring, educating for, and promoting the pure principles and values that STAR ALLIANCE represents is a brilliant, catalytic strategy! It will create a critical shift towards greater truthfulness, "Communication, Cooperation, & Celebration" for a safer, more ideal and happier world for all.
• The themes that STAR ALLIANCE has created over the years — including Good Will Values Education  and Star Citizenships™  (i.e., balanced application of all our Highest Civic Ideals™) — are social innovations that can and will bring humanity together much more quickly — ONCE they are adopted officially and widely promoted.
• We are currently engaged in behind-the-scenes catchup and infrastructure-building preliminary to major outreach efforts, from locality to globe..
• Our logical strategy: It stands to reason that values, once internalized, influence virtually all present and future behavior. That's what values ARE: Guides to behavior and choices that each individual decision-maker holds valuable! To effect positive change, it makes best sense to focus on encouraging positive values of individuals and institutions everywhere. The STAR ALLIANCE documents have been carefully crafted to do just that. They have also been endorsed by many accomplished people in the course of their evolution, since 1985-'86. [Please see "Historical VIP-Celebrity Signers" under "More" > "People" on this site.]
• Secondly, consider our track record of major catalytic achievements. The Original STAR ALLIANCE presaged the sudden unexpected end of the Cold War. We began declaring peace ideals in late 1985, before anyone thought such a major turnaround was possible. We collected famous signatures from 1986, and wrote world leaders Reagan and Gorbachev before every summit meeting during those "turning point" years. Backed by distinguished San Francisco philanthropist Jane Newhall, we maintained dignified economy offices on Market Street, produced cable-access TV and radio shows weekly from 1987 to 1990, evolved and promoted our Declarations for Peace, and established the "STAR OF PEACE" Award.
• In 1996, when mainland China was firing rockets over Taiwan, we wrote an influential calming Policy Advisory to the leaders of China. We suggested China redirect its attention to investing in electronic and other infrastructures for the future. Within days, a remarkable turnaround was publicly reported. (Please see the New York Times article, printed on page one of The San Jose Mercury News (1996 March 25, under the headline: China wants to bury hatchet. Taiwan access: Beijing pulls abrupt switch, suggests opening the door to detente.")
• In September of 2017, our thoughtful Policy Advisory to the leader of the DPRK (North Korea) was copied to President Trump. This was followed by a dramatic unexpected warming of relations. The change made everyone safer for a time. Ours was not the only factor, and as before, we received no direct or public recognition. But the public benefit was huge. Time has eroded the initial results, and much more needs to be done. Yet this work is highly efficient and effective. It will be lasting when more widely deployed and followed up ethically on all sides.
• Meanwhile, enormous public financial resources and logistical capacities are spent on extremely painful conflicts throughout the world. A change is needed desperately — actually to solve the underlying conditions that cause these conflicts — including redirecting resources and capacities to meet basic human needs first, including consistent collective steps to arrest Climate Change.
• If you agree that good will and lasting peace in the Atomic Age is not just a luxury — but a priority of urgency for global survival and well being — tell your friends and colleagues and help spread all our declared Highest Civic Ideals.   

• THE PEOPLE & CHILDREN OF EARTH WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL! •
