Igor Kondrashin President, WPF Secretary-General, the Supreme Council of Humanity, SCH
Dear colleagues,
The Committee of atomic scientists, which includes 15 Nobel Prize winners, 25 January, this year, decided to reduce in 2018 the symbolic time before the End of the world for another half minute. Now only two symbolic minutes are left until the world Apocalypse. See at - https://thebulletin.org/2018-doomsday-clock-statement
Prof Igor I Kondrashin
According to the opinion of the Committee members, in 2017 the national leaders of the separated sovereign States were unable to respond effectively to the looming threat of the nuclear war and climate change, making the security situation on the planet more dangerous than a year ago and most hazardous since the Second World War. In addition to nuclear and climate threats, new technological developments in the field of informational technologies as weapons began to pose a threat to the world, including the online campaigns of deception aimed at undermining the election and public confidence in the institutions necessary for free thinking and global security.
The Doomsday clock is an internationally recognized symbolic indicator, which means how close we are to the destroying our Earth civilization through dangerous technologies of our own production. First is the nuclear weapons, but besides it global threats include climate technologies, new biotechnologies, and cybertechnologies, which can cause irreparable damage, whether by intention, miscalculation or accident, to our way of life and the planet as a whole.
However, the international practice shows that national leaders begin to respond only then, when citizens insist on it. According to scientists, only citizens are able to require from the present rulers actions to reduce existential threats of nuclear war and uncontrolled climate change. Only they, using now in addition also the opportunity of the Internet, have the power and potential to make the world safer and healthier in long term.
But unfortunately, they do not do it, because there is no properly formed supranational global civil society on the planet. All the recent calls by former UN Secretary-General |Ban Ki-moon and UNESCO to form a global citizenship remained without attention, and therefore the world, according to adamant opinion of the nuclear scientists, rolls into the abyss.
The formation of global citizenship is hindered by the lack in humanity's common mind of a healthy supranational global social consciousness. So, according to the most cautious evaluations of WPF experts the mentality of more than three quarters of the Earth population is affected by Dementia in varying degrees, more than half of the planet's inhabitants suffer from schizophrenia, or/and oligophrenia (mental retardation) of varying severity, the main manifestations of which are autism and delusional complexes - phobias and manias!
To oppose this global phenomenon, the special test program was established on the website of World Philosophical Forum -http://wpf-unesco.org/ - for the diagnosis of the mentality of any inhabitant of the Earth, determination of its dementivity, including the dementivity of his consciousness, named the "Mirror of my soul" at - http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/dem/diage.htm
If you are particularly alarmed by the recent Statement of the atomic scientists, if your consciousness is not so sickly dementive as in others, then you have the opportunity to join the ranks of global citizenship and become a Citizen of the Earth-XXI - http://glob-use.org/id.htm - so that by the joint efforts in the framework of supranational Universal State of the Earth - http://glob-use.org/ - to affect really on situation in the world and to prevent the imminent and very close self-destruction of Humanity.
About WPF
The World Philosophical Forum (WPF) is an international independent Greek founded non-governmental, nonprofit organization (NGO) with branches in many countries (now in 53) on all continents all over the Earth. Being international & independent, WPF expresses and protects the interests of Humanity as a whole through disambiguation and acting on behalf of all the Earth civil society for a better everyone’s future.
Registered in Athens, Greece in 2009 by philosopher Igor Kondrashin (now WPF President and CEO – see profile), WPF vision of Life on the Earth from the very start of its foundation and activity was as protected, prosperous BEING for all, governed by reason, wisdom, morality, responsibility and justice with no place for people using in their everyday life double standards, corruption and falsehood. Such people should be civically reeducated in a correct way until they realize the true values for happy and peaceful life for all. The human rights on the Earth are to be respected by everybody, but be preceded and combined with human duties. According to WPF ideals, the all human ideology should be sort well with the ideas of transuniversalism, which blend together the best ideas of neohumanism with the ideas oftranshumanism and allow everyone to live in dignity, peace and prosperity.
The WPF is headquartered in Athens, Greece, having also national branches The WPF is headquartered in Athens, Greece, having also national branches all over the planet Earth. The WPF cooperates with UN-UNESCO, offering its reasonable ideas to their officials, trying from its side to assist in implementation of their progressive initiatives, supporting their strategies and global goals. Still, from the beginning of its own activity, the WPF displays more and more influence on the progress of all human consciousness by its global activities in information and education, enlighting & integrating the Earth population into Earth CIVILIZATION, uniting the peoples on all continents of the planet into a single hyperstated Global CIVIL megasociety. All WPF work is founded on the ideas of ancient Greek Philosophers, which are now considered as classical. As it is well known, they were prohibited in 529 by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. Later, practically until now, they were substituted by not-practical ideas of the scholastic philosophy, which helps in no way to solve Humanity's current problems.
The WPF is best known for its annual Summits in Athens, Greece as revived Dialectical Symposia, which reflect the ancient Greek tradition of the same importance as traditional ancient Olympic Games. Such autumn meetings, having the format of a think tank, brings together top Earth thinkers, philosophers, scholars, selected intellectuals, and just thinking individuals, aim to discuss the most pressing issues facing the Earth, but firstly the questions of updating and improvement of all human mentality, the formation and education of all human consciousness on the basis of reason, morality and justice. These meetings accelerate understanding of the necessity for Humanity to foster global, Earth-XXI citizenship. The meetings of Dialectical Symposia also take place in other countries of the Earth as WPF national sessions. After each annual October Symposium its participants approve a special Resolution-appeal with advices and recommendations to Humanity how to solve in the best and reasonable way their current general problems and most important challenges.
The World Philosophical Forum (WPF) is the only place and platform where the Humanity can discuss solutions of general Earth problems in favor of all human interests irrespectively to the local (national) leaders’ interests. The WPF activity continues round the year through contacts and intercommunications. The results of these activities are reflected on the regularly updated WPF website - http://wpf-unesco.org/.
The WPF is the sole global unitor for all habitants of the Earth regardless their race, gender, nation, education, ideology, age, health condition, well-being, language, religion, faith and world-view, social position and status rank. The only basis and features of their unity and solidarity are the recognition of wisdom, reason, morality, responsibility and justice as top human values and their willingness to fight such modern vices as double standards, corruption and falsehood.
Meanwhile the situation in the world continues to deteriorate. WPF experts have found even the main reason to it. According to their most cautious evaluations the mentality of more than three quarters of the Earth population is affected by Dementia in varying degrees, more than half of the planet inhabitants suffer from schizophrenia, or/and oligophrenia of varying severity, the main manifestations of which are autism and delusional complexes - phobias and manias!
WPF has worked out and starts a new BIOPHILOSOPHICAL program – “MIRROR of my SOUL” to make easy the diagnostics and healing of the human mentality. It is planned to open all over the Earth “WPF Centers of diagnostics and correction of consciousness”. The first ones will be established in Russia, Greece, Malaysia and India. Thus, it will become real WPF actions to update and improve the Earth humans’ mentality.
The WPF has 3 types of facilities constantly ready to assist the habitants of the Earth to raise gradually the level of their mentality:
All of them are working distantly & constantly through the WPF website.
Thus, the principal goal of the whole WPF activity in times of continuing deepening process of total globalization - to help fragmented Earth POPULATION to become well educated, enlightened & integrated, wisely & reasonably self-governed Earth CIVILIZATION (Global single CIVIL megasociety).
This WPF final goal would be considered as reached only after all 7 billion Earth habitants pass 3 stages in series in their mind and social development:
Stage 1. The formation of Earth-XXI (global) Citizenship;
Stage 2. out of Earth-XXI Citizens – the formation of new, global leadership (Earth-XXI Aristocrats);
Stage 3. out of new, Earth-XXI leaders - the formation (through election by Earth-XXI Citizens only) of the Earth-XXI self-administration based on the Universal Constitution of the Earth through establishment of the Supreme Council of the Humanity, Earth Parliament, Earth Government, Earth Supreme Court, Earth Bank, Earth Academy, etc.
Only after it happens, dignity, peace and prosperity on the Earth equally for all can be respected and guaranteed by the all human CONSCIENCE.

Dr Ron Paul served in U.S. House of Representatives three different periods: first from 1976 to 1977, after he won a special election, then from 1979 to 1985, and finally from 1997 to 2013.
During his first term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Paul founded the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE), a non-profit think tank dedicated to promoting principles of limited government and free-market economics. In 1984, Paul became the first chairman of the Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), a conservative political group founded by Charles Koch and David Koch 'to fight for less government, lower taxes, and less regulation.' CSE started a Tea Party protest against high taxes in 2002. In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy split into two new organizations, with Citizens for a Sound Economy being renamed as FreedomWorks, and Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation becoming Americans for Prosperity. The two organizations would become key players in the Tea Party movement from 2009 onward.
Dr Paul proposed term-limit legislation multiple times, while himself serving a few terms in the House of Representatives. In 1984, he decided to retire from the House in order to run for the U.S. Senate, complaining in his House farewell address that 'Special interests have replaced the concern that the Founders had for general welfare.... It's difficult for one who loves true liberty and utterly detests the power of the state to come to Washington for a period of time and not leave a true cynic.'
He is known nationally and internationally as a pioneer figure in the study of culture and psychopathology who challenged the ethnocentrism and racial biases of many assumptions, theories, and practices in psychology and psychiatry.

I grew up in Chile, got my medical degree there, began an academic career in 1970, and left for the USA due to the military coup in early 1974. My first job in the USA was working as a public nutrition professor in the international programme of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.
I started to travel to Africa in 1975, and worked a year in Cameroun in 1980 helping to prepare their five-year nutrition plan. I then moved to New Orleans, to Tulane University’s School of Public Health, and taught in the department of nutrition for ten years, before moving to Nairobi where I was an advisor in the Ministry of Health. Seven years there got me into extensive consulting in Africa, often on nutritional issues. In 1995 moved to Vietnam where I worked for two and a half years in the Ministry of Health as a senior primary health care advisor.
Many years of touching the reality on the ground, in Latin America, then the USA, then Africa and Asia, has made me understand that the real challenge is in the social and political determinants of malnutrition. I have devoted my writings and teaching to that. Over the years, I have found an important shift in my colleagues’ attitude and understanding towards acknowledging the basic causes of malnutrition. But yet I see little happening as a result. I submit that it is our guild’s lack of experience in the political arena that explains this dichotomy. I devote much of my energy to bridge this gap, and am a fervent advocate of empowering claim holders to demand needed changes from duty bearers. Nutrition is a perfect port of entry for that. Equity, social justice and people’s empowerment in a human rights sense is what really will make a difference.
There is no alternative but to deal with nutrition problems as indivisibly linked to social, political and environmental problems. We need to address them as such. The question is: are we all prepared to do that? The answer, in my view, decides whether we are part of the solution or part of the problem. Travelling and living in different parts of the world has reinforced my conviction that we need to get down from our academic ivory towers, and need to change the curricula of our young and upcoming colleagues, to give them the tools to act in such a context. To me, public health nutrition cannot be anything but that.
