every day. Criminals of all descriptions use technology for their own ends,
then use their knowledge of the law and extradition policies of various
nations to escape the consequences.

The important question to ask yourself is this: how many decades will it be
before individual criminals have the ability to eliminate all life on the
planet?
Letterman listened politely. He played it straight, which lent gravity to
Diana s views.
World especially dictators, will be loath to cede power to any leaders,
world body, she continued. But a gradual introduction of international
oversight, culminating in a World Government with authority similar to the
United States federal government over individual states, is the only model
that makes sense in

the long run. It will be much easier to persuade world leaders to relinquish
power over say, 20 to 30 years, than to expect them to do it all at once.
It was hard, Diana conceded, to imagine American voters today embracing the
concept of people in Rwanda or Pakistan voting on issues that affected
Americans. But by the time World Government exists, she told Stone
Phillips on the Today Show, Ninety percent of voters in the world will
speak fluent English. A person will be able to fly anywhere on the planet in
less than two hours. Everyone will be able to access television and radio
broadcasts, electronic newspapers, and computer network media from any
country, instantaneously translated into English or any language of their
choosing. In 20 years, the entire world will seem smaller and more homogenous
than the United States does today.
Despite the compelling arguments in
Goals and Principles of a World
Government
, the concept didn t catch on right away. Diana expected that, but had
confidence in her theories. Her strategy was to open the plan to debate and
try to make the idea seem as unthreatening as possible. Diana believed that
future news events throughout the world would inevitably demonstrate the need
for World
Government.
Unfortunately she wouldn t have to wait very long.

Dallas, Texas
January 28, 2017
Two weeks after stolen documents were released indicating the
Israeli government had been responsible for the November 2006 nuclear
incineration of
Baghdad, Israeli Prime Minister Aaron Ben-Gurion takes full responsibility and
says he deeply regrets the need for his actions. He offers evidence that Iraqi
dictator Saddam
Hussein, having been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, planned to
detonate four nuclear weapons in Jerusalem, Mecca, Paris, and Damascus in an
attempt to start World
War III; destroying Baghdad was the only foolproof way to eliminate the
weapons and
Saddam Hussein himself. The government of Iraq files a formal protest with the
United
Nations Security Council seeking additional reparations from Israel. In a
conciliatory gesture, Israel announces that although United Nations rulings
are unenforceable, it will abide by the Security Council s decision. Former
President Travis Hall admits he knew of
Israel s involvement in the destruction of Baghdad for over 10 years, but
denies that he or any other United States government official had been given
advance warning. Ba ath zealots dismiss Hall s denials as more Satanic lies,
and vow apocalyptic revenge on
Israel and its longtime sponsor, the United States.
In
Oswald s Tale: An American Mystery, published in 1995, Norman
Mailer, who believed Oswald alone assassinated President John F. Kennedy,
speculated on why the public believed the assassination was a conspiracy: It
is virtually not assimilable to our reason that a small, lonely man felled a
giant in the midst of his limousines, his legions, his throng, and his
security. If such a nonentity destroyed the leader of the most powerful nation
on earth, then a world of disproportion engulfs us, and we live in a universe
that is absurd.
David and Diana had each read Mailer s book in high school, and that single
quote had made more of an impression than any other part of the book.
When they later met at Harvard and became lovers, they had been fascinated to
discover that they had both plucked the same kernel from the entire bushel of
words.
When David ran for the U.S. Senate in 2016, his opponent, Republican
Congressman Joe Bob Barton, had tried to use his wife s book against him. Once
during a televised debate in Dallas, Barton had made the mistake of saying,
David West and his wife intend to subjugate the people of the United States

Although David and Diana did not agree on everything, he generally supported
her philosophy. He didn t feel it necessary or beneficial to try to
distinguish his own views from hers.
He responded, If we ever do have a World Government, it won t be because some
