The “Real”
What the future really turned out to be in my father’s lifetime: 1898-1982.
1. 1903. First flight by the little-known Wright Brothers, commercial by the 1930s, the moon in 1969.
2. Emperor-ship permanently gone by 1918.
3. Woman got the vote, Russia in 1917; U.S. in 1920, etc. Worldwide, still a work in progress.
4. Gross, never before world wars with 100 million killed. League and UN created to end war — a failure. Now the danger of a Star Wars.
5. The scientists discovered our “warming” global future. As old as the industrial revolution, which started in 1800. A major problem in 300-400 years — solved by science and engineering!
This is what the world was really like in the 1980s. Thirty-five plus years later and we live with our new illusions. My guess on a few of them are:
1. We have had 348 wars since 1945. No nukes used. Warring will and must go on. Force is the only way!
2. Climate change, automation and earth-deep pollution — if they exist — will hardly affect my life.
3. No need for change, much less revolution! Science, technology and my nation can handle future challenges and wars.
What is World Federalism?
World Federal Government (WFG)
Original Publisher
DWF NewsBob Neumann has been fascinated by world government for close to 50 years and an active member of the World Federalist movement since the 1970’s. Although he left it unpublished, Mr. Neumann completed an original book of poetry on arguments centered on the need for World Government. He completed his B.A., M.A., and graduate work in the fields of History and Political Science. He taught as a secondary school teacher for 22 years and became a General Contractor in his 50’s. In 1992 both he and his wife retired and set out on a grand ten-year world adventure on their 47-foot sailboat. After his travels, Mr. Neumann returned to California in 2002 to resume contracting work and D.W.F. activities.
