World Citizens are urgently advised to sign the White House Petition (wh.gov/zjyC) to avoid MILINT Earth Day Coup d'état‘s of the World‘s Democracies on Earth Day 2015; by demanding their governments implement Sustainable Security Relocalization, Decentralization, De-Industrialization & Primitivization measures, by 22 April 2014; & turning off all coal, nuclear & fossil fuel sources to the National Grid on 22 April 2015. If World‘s citizens fail; TYGAE call on the Worlds‘ Military to conduct worldwide simultaneous MILINT Earth Day Coup d'état‘s; to end the ‗One Person, One Vote‘ policy and implement a ‗Sustainable Security Licence to Vote‘ policy; where only Ecoliterate ‗Sustainable Leaver‘ citizens get the licence to vote. If World‘s Military Officials fail, we face the certain extermination of humanity, by 2100, if not much sooner, due to the runaway feedback confluence of overpopulation, overconsumption, resource scarcity induced conflict and climate change tipping points. Failure of citizens/Military to act by (2014/2015); while they still can; will aggravate the runaway feedback confluence, rendering it impossible and futile to act later. 1GO:

Economic Relocalisation? Relocalize Economic Power. ―Here are a few of my predictions: Many trends of the last century or more, made possible by cheap and abundant energy sources, are going to be reversed. These trends include population growth, centralization of political and economic power, vastly increased quantity of global trade, and mass tourism. [..] Relocalization may be a new term, but conceptually it has long roots. Some related recent precursors include [Thoreau], E.F. Schumacher, Ted Trainer, Garrett Hardin, and Wendell Berry as well as what are called the ―anti-globalization‖ movement, the ―slow food‖ movement, the ―voluntary simplicity‖ movement, the ―back to the land‖ movement, ―new urbanism,‖ [the ―prepping‖ movement], and the ―environmental movement.‖ In general, common themes include decentralization of political and economic structures, less material consumption and pollution, a focus on the quality of relationships, culture and the environment as sources of fulfillment, and downscaling of infrastructural development.‖ - Jason Bradford, Ph.D, Economic Relocalization: A Strategic Response to Peak Oil and Climate Change4; The Oil Drum

A.
Relocalization is based on a systems approach that doesn‘t solve one set of problems only to make another problem worse.
B.
Relocalization is based on an ethic of protecting the Earth System--or Natural Capital-- knowing that despite our cleverness, human well-being is fundamentally derived from the ecological and geological richness of Earth.
C.
Relocalization starts from the premise that the world is a finite place and that humanity is in a state of overshoot. Perpetual growth of the economy

and the population is neither possible nor desirable. It is wise to start planning now for a world with less available energy, not more.
[2]
D.
Relocalization advocates rebuilding more balanced local economies that emphasize securing basic needs. Local food, energy and water systems are perhaps the most critical to build.xxv In the absence of reliable trade partners, whether from peak oil, natural disaster or political instability, a local economy that at least produces its essential goods will have a true comparative advantage.
E.
Relocalization takes a different perspective altogether. Instead of working to keep a system going that has no future, it calls us to develop means of livelihood that pollute as little as possible and that promote local and regional stability. Since much of our pollution results from the distances goods travel, we must shorten distances between production and consumption as much as we can.
Political Decentralization: Nullification, Secession, etc: ―The need for relocalization of the economy in the wake of peak oil and climate change is forcing me to re-examine my views. I am of the belief, however, that should relocalization become a widespread adaptation strategy or simply be forced upon us, the locale where one lives in the United States will become of increasing importance. It is no surprise, then, that relocalization of economic activity implies relocalization of governmental power. In fact, a kind of precursor to secession, nullification, has already appeared in the form of city councils resolving not to cooperate with federal officials in enforcing the so-called Patriot Act. It has also manifested itself in cities and states proceeding with climate change initiatives when the federal government's official policy was that climate change was not a problem. [..] Instead, secession, recast as political decentralization, is a close cousin of economic relocalization the increasingly urgent need many of us to feel to create our own local currencies, grow more of our own food, harvest our own energy, and the like. [..] What is less apparent to most is the fact that the U.S. has become an Empire teetering on the edge, while it continues to enrich the few at the expense of the many. Nothing less than a complete structural re-tooling of our financial, commercial and economic life will bring about the significant kinds of transformations we'll need moving forward. It is not an appealing thought, that economic relocalization ultimately will not succeed without political decentralizationbut we believe it is an honest one.‖ - Political Secession and Economic Relocalisation: Parallel Goals to deal with Climate Change & Peak Oil5; Vermont Commons

The New Nullification6 (Resource Insights, 05/06):
A.
Recently, 132 mayors across America announced they were going ahead with policies to fight global warming7 despite the Bush administration's rejection of such measures. In doing so, they were adding to a series of acts by states and localities that when taken together add up to a new and growing nullification movement. Nullification is a long debated theory that says that states have the right to defy federal law or "nullify" it if they feel a particular law is unconstitutional. While the mayors were not exactly defying a federal law, they were openly snubbing an official federal policy of inaction on greenhouse gas emissions. Their action and many similar ones are beginning to call into question the ability of the federal government to impose its will on the individual states and localities.
B.
Take the lawsuit by eight states and New York City against utilities8 designed to force the utilities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The suit was filed because the EPA refused to take action9 to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, a move that prompted an earlier lawsuit against the agency. Both suits are direct confrontations with a federal government which currently wants to do nothing about greenhouse gas emissions.
C.
In the area of genetically engineered crops, the Food and Drug Administration has long held that such crops are virtually identical to non-biotech crops and therefore require no testing or extraordinary regulation. But, two counties in California have already banned their planting10, and a third has a ban on the ballot this year. (Monsanto, the world's largest producer of genetically engineered crops, is fighting back by trying to pass state laws that pre-empt local control of biotech crops.11)
D.
[..] But, perhaps the best-known acts of nullification are resolutions by states, cities and counties across the nation that call for refusing cooperation with federal authorities trying to enforce the so-called USA Patriot Act. To date some 386 resolutions have been passed 12. The list of cities includes Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Dallas, Des Moines, Detroit, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland (ME), Portland (OR), Providence, Richmond (VA), St. Louis, St. Paul, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D. C. itself! States include Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, and Vermont.

[2.2] Pennsylvania Court Deals Blow to Secrecy-Obsessed Fracking Industry: Corporations Not The Same As Persons With Privacy Rights 13 (Alternet; 11/04/2013); A.
―The ruling represents the first crack in the judicial armor that has been so meticulously welded together by major corporations,‖ said Thomas Linzey, executive director of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, which has helped 150 communities in eight states adopt Community Bill of Rights to limit corporate powers. ―It affirms what many communities already know, that change only occurs when people begin to openly question and challenge legal doctrines that have been treated as sacred by most lawyers and judges.‖
B.
But where the ruling is likely to make the biggest waves is in the so-called corporate personhood debate. The Judge spent more than a third of her 32-page decision saying why corporations and business entities were not the same as people under Pennsylvania‘s constitution, and why, for the purposes of doing business in the state, that federal court rulings that blur the rights of people and businesses do not apply.
C.
―This court ruling is a significant development for the growing movement to restore democracy to the people,‖ said John Bonifaz, the co-founder and executive director of Free Speech For People, a national campaign launched on the day of the U.S. Supreme Court‘s decision in Citizens United v. FEC. ―The ruling is the newest example of dissent within the judiciary to the fabricated doctrine of corporate constitutional rights. It will be held up for years to come as a powerful defense of the promise of American self-government: of, by, and for the people.‖
[2.3] Appeals court upholds local fracking bans in NY14 (Tri-City Herald, 02/05/2013) A.
New York municipalities can use local zoning laws to ban the practice of hydraulic fracturing to drill for natural gas, a mid-level state appeals court said Thursday.
B.
State mining and drilling law doesn't trump the authority of local governments to control land use, the four-judge appellate division panel ruled unanimously.

There's also a thriving local grocery co-op; a busy farmer's market; even a classy restaurant — Claire's — where almost anything you eat grew or grazed on land nearby. 16 [..] Hewitt saw what was happening in Hardwick, and it struck him as unusual, even odd. "Here's this town: Unemployment rate 40 percent higher than the Vermont state average; median income 25 percent lower; and then there was this thing happening around so-called sustainable ag and local food!" Hewitt says. So Hewitt wrote a book about Hardwick: The Town That Food Saved.

These factors mean and intense competition for key and vital resources, around the globe and that leads to conflict. ―This report is different to many other reports, involving military leaders. That is because in it, we make a direct appeal to the American people. We talk in this report about the amazing sacrifices the American people made during World War II, planting victory gardens, cutting down on fuel use, saving scrap metal and old rubber, sacrifices, or maybe just examples of common sense and prudent lifestyle changes. Whatever you call them, the steps taken by the American people then, shortened the war and saved lives. And I believe the same can be said today about these challenges of energy security and climate security. There are individual steps that every American can take. Using less energy. Being more efficient with the energy that we do use. Supporting new policies to help our country take a new energy path. These are the steps that can help us avoid, or shorten wars in the future. Those wars over competition for vital resources. These are steps that can save lives. They may cost money yes, but if we don't spend the money now, we will still pay, and we will pay much more later.

Consequently, the albedo effect is collapsing in the Arctic. Albedo is the reflection of Sun‘s radiation off the white ice and white snow surfaces. Unfortunately, when the albedo effect collapses, the dark sea and dark land mass absorb most of the Sun‘s radiation. A collapsing albedo effect is ominously apocalyptic for the Arctic, and for the world. And, disturbingly, Arctic albedo is already in the collapsing stage. This will inevitably lead to ever more methane emissions and a vicious cycle of feedbacks leading to an extinction event, probably unstoppable.‖ - Arctic Methane Emergency Group; Methane Outbreak Alert18

Mosuo women carry on the family name and run the households, which are usually made up of several families, with one woman elected as the head. The head matriarchs of each village govern the region by committee. Political power, however, remains in the hands of males, creating a gender-balanced society. The traditional Mosuo religion worships nature, is called Daba, with Lugu Lake regarded as the Mother Goddess and the mountain overlooking it venerated as the Goddess of Love. Their focus is their close relationship to the land that supports them and with their neighbours, who also support them.
Media Sustainable Security Fines: Responsibility for Citizens Ignorance:
[5]
[5.1] A majority of industrial civilization‘s problems - crime, violence, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, inflation, food shortages, political instability, vanishing species, garbage and pollution urban sprawl, traffic jams, toxic waste, energy and non-renewable resources (NNR) depletion and scarcity are symptoms of Ecological Overshoot, resulting from Overpopulation and Overconsumption.. [5.2] Dr. Michael Maher‘s study: How and Why Journalists avoid the Population-Environment Connection20: argues that the American public are largely ignorant about the relationship between Overpopulation and the Environment, as a result of media censorship of the role of population growth, in their stories wherein they report on the societal consequences of overpopulation. But in Tradeoffs: Imperatives of Choice in a High-Tech World, Wenk (1986) offered a more media-centric view of how the public learns: "Whatever literacy in science and technology the general public has reached is not from formal education. Rather, it is from the mass media. That responsibility of the press has been almost completely ignored" (p. 162). This study will examine press responsibility for the public's indifference to population growth by exploring two questions: To what extent do press reports about population-driven environmental problems link those problems to population growth?

If you look at the general background change, for instance, it takes about 10,000 years to change the concentration of carbon dioxide by 100 ppm — we‘re doing it in 30 years at this year‘s rate… so, the rate of change in the climate is phenomenal compared to previous extinction events.

If there is a regional or national biocapacity deficit, it means that the region is importing biocapacity through trade or liquidating regional ecological assets. Global biocapacity deficit cannot be compensated through trade, and is overshoot. 23 24

The carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environmentally sensitive practices people might employ their entire lives – things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.
International Sustainable Security Peace Treaties:
[12.1] All ‗Peace treaties‘ which do not require both parties to maintain their nation citizens‘ procreation and consumption practices below carrying capacity, as a fundamental requirement for the credibility of the peace treaty should be considered ‗War is Peace‘ Whore treaties, ruled null and void, and renegotiated. [12.2] Any credible ‗Sustainable Security‘ Peace Treaty, must require all parties to the Peace Treaty to maintain their nation‘s citizens and corporations procreation, consumption and production practices below carrying capacity. Any nation which allows their citizens or corporations to engage in a breeding, consumption or Sustainable Footprint Biocapacity: A biocapacity of 1 gha assumes that 40% of land is set aside for other species. 1 gha is 60 % of 1.8 gha, therefore .8 hectares is set aside for other species. 29 International Biocapacity: In 2006, the average biologically productive area (biocapacity) per person worldwide was approximately 1.8 global hectares (gha) per capita. In 2008, there were ~ 12 billion hectares of biologically productive land and water on Earth. Dividing by the number of people alive in that year (6.7 billion) gives 1.79 global hectares per person. This assumes that no land is set aside for other species that consume the same biological material as humans. If for example, there were only 3.5 billion people alive that year, that would have provided everyone with 3.5 gha. If there were only 1 billion people, their would be 12gha biocapacity for each persons needs. 30 Bhutan Proactive Conservation: Bhutan is seen as a model for proactive conservation initiatives. The Kingdom has received international acclaim for its commitment to the maintenance of its biodiversity. This is reflected in the decision to maintain at least sixty percent of the land area under forest cover, to designate more than 40% of its territory as national parks, reserves and other protected areas, and most recently to identify a further nine percent of land area as biodiversity corridors linking the protected areas. Environmental conservation has been placed at the core of the nation's development strategy, the middle path. It is not treated as a sector but rather as a set of concerns that must be mainstreamed in Bhutan's overall approach to development planning and to be buttressed by the force of law. - "Parks of Bhutan".

[III] Failure of Citizens and Military to Act: Runaway Feedback Confluence of Tipping Points to Extinction: ―If we don't take action now, every day, every year that goes by, the options for dealing with the effects of climate change and the effects of energy security become much much more expensive, and in fact some of the options completely dissapear over the next ten to twenty years; if we don't start taking some prudent actions now.‖ – Vice Admiral Dennis McGinnis; Climate Patriots: A Military Perspective on Energy, Climate Change and National Security34
If Military Officials fail to enact Sustainable Security Constitutions, by worldwide simultaneous temporary Coup d'état measures in 2015; it shall certainly result in the extermination of humanity, by 2100, if not sooner, due to the runaway feedback confluence of overpopulation, overconsumption, resource scarcity induced conflict and climate change tipping points. ―Even if all man-made greenhouse gas emissions were stopped tomorrow and carbon-dioxide levels stabilized at today's concentration, by the end of this century the global average temperature would increase by about 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 2.4 degrees centigrade above pre-industrial levels, which is significantly above the level which scientists and policymakers agree is a threshold for dangerous climate change. Of course, greenhouse gas emissions will not stop tomorrow, so the actual temperature increase will likely be significantly larger, resulting in potentially catastrophic impacts to society unless other steps are taken to reduce the Earth's temperature.‖ Charles Greene, A Very Inconvenient Truth35
Failure of citizens, and/or Military to act now, while they still can; shall aggravate the runaway feedback confluence, rendering it impossible and futile to act later. The Arctic situation is snowballing: dangerous changes in the Arctic derived from accumulated anthropogenic green house gases lead to more activities conducive to further greenhouse gas emissions. This situation has the momentum of a run-away train. I felt there was little hope that any one nation would take the first step to abandon the greed track. However, a reaction has come, unexpectedly, from the smallest, but perhaps most affected, player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjS9pU0y_JU Charles H. Greene, D. James Baker, and Daniel H.

In an election on March 12 2013, Greenlanders elected Aleqa Hammond, from the social-democratic party, as their new leader. Her program places human rights and environmental conservation, the underpinning of their traditional livelihoods as hunters and fishers, above the financial benefits of the resource rush. She has committed to remove the law that opened the door to the mining boom. The new government have opted to stop the charging juggernaut that other nations seem unable — or unwilling — to contain. The Greenlandic inüit are few and humble, but have given a lesson to the most powerful nations. Other nations with wealthier citizens should take note and ask themselves if they too would have the courage to walk away from the promises of wealth that fuels the run-away train of climate change. - Final Frontiers: The Artic36 (Conversation; 04/04/2013)
