What if you were put in charge of the World tomorrow? How would you run the planet?

If you have arrived onto this page from an external link or search engine, the material below will make no sense whatsoever unless you know why this site was created. A very brief summary can be read by clicking here

This globally popular educational and research website (stolen from www.12-12-12.org) lists every national and international problem in the world in a rather unusual and entertaining way, so remember to bookmark www.harryrings.org in your favourites folder! For the record: Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings has decided to take over the World because it is in a mess. He has decreed that by December 12th 2012 there will be global peace and no more poverty. Stop doing what you were going to do today and read on.................

Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

 

Earthquake

I direct all Sovereign tribes to immediately sign treaties to allow the mass movement of foreign friendly troops into their Sovereign tribal territory just after a natural disaster occurs. Obviously this edict does not apply between tribes that are currently annoyed with each other or are very wealthy and can deal with the emergency from existing plans and military assets.

For example: within minutes of a huge earthquake, it will be obvious where it happened and where help is needed. The same applies for hurricanes, monsoons, fires, floods, typhoons and tidal waves. Let the pre loaded supply planes take off from local bases and ask questions, dot the i's and cross the t's while in flight. They can always turn around if not required. I further direct every tribal state should have a 24 hour global emergency manager who will act as a focal point to help a recipient tribe in need.

Volcano                     Flood

By undertaking the above, several hours will be saved during critical life or death situations. Similar to my directive on air ambulances, the military will benefit from real life training exercises - to save peoples lives.

I further direct global military assets be pre stocked with tents, canned food, water, blankets, small cranes and earth moving hardware as a matter of weekly routine.

If a major earthquake hits a city at six minutes past 7, I want military cargo planes in the air within 12 minutes from the 3 nearest foreign and Sovereign bases. If this is impossible, I want a report on my desk with the reasons why it can't be done. Give me solutions not excuses.

Ponder............
It will take an average person 12 hours to read and understand the contents of this website and listen to 'The Speech'. Is one hour a day for 12 days too long? Why don't you email the www.12-12-12.org link to 12 of your friends and discuss their opinions in 12 days time? Maybe the 7th person in your email chain can break the secret code and the 12th person, may hold the key to World Peace. Are you or someone in your family the 7th or 12th person?
