Copernicus Was Mistaken: Why The Earth Is Still The Center Of The Universe

by Danny Quintana

The consumption, murder other plants and animals, way of life ended in November 2019. Nature fought back. In that month, our Earth Mother’s immune system struck back. Her white blood cells, known to us as viruses attacked. Viruses are a normal occurrence. They are a means by which our Earth Mother protects her other children.26 We cannot constantly kill the other persons on spaceship Earth and believe they will not try to defend themselves. The other persons on this small planet don’t have opposable thumbs. But they are protected by our Earth Mother’s immune system- viruses.27 This pandemic is just the first wave. Either we will change our behavior or our Earth Mother will make us go extinct. We have committed mass murder of many of the other persons on this spaceship traveling through space and time.

The Chinese Communist Party cares very much about the environment. They work hard to protect the giant pandas and are investing billions to clean their air, developing electric vehicles, high speed trains and making their country the most modern that is possible. Being polite and asking the Chinese government to help will get results. Having bad manners is the last thing that will work with Chinese culture. They will look at you like you are a fool. Good manners is a must in Chinese culture.

Humans are frustrated, aggressive mammals. We have perfected the art of war and practice of killing. Left on this planet to our own devices, we will destroy the Earth and all of God’s creation. What re-directing the immense human energy away from the planet toward outer space will accomplish is we will be less inclined to commit total and complete genocide of all living things. We use war as an instrument of policy to carry out politics regardless of the wishes of the mass of humanity.

We waste hundreds of billions of dollars on weapons systems of questionable utility and keep bases open that are politically connected. Building a moon base will refine many of the medical, computer and propulsion technologies and make our journeys to the inner solar system easier. Just having such powerful militaries makes their use tempting to carry out goals of politics through war. If the United States could not invade another country in violation of international law, we would not do it.

Time happens faster than we realize. In the 500 years since the migration from Europe to this side of the planet, the entire ecosystem has completely changed… for the worst. The kings and monarchs of the Europe did not have the foresight to realize that cutting down the forests, killing the fish in the rivers and overfishing the shores of the Atlantic would result in the environmental mess we have today. This is reasonable. We have no idea what human plant and animal life will be like 500 years from now. But we have to change the path we are on or our civilization will not survive. This requires us to change our agriculture and our diet. We have to change the infrastructure of agriculture.

Why do humans have so little respect for the plants and animals that exist only on this small planet? One explanation is theological. Under Western Christian thought, humans are at the peak of God’s creation and the Earth is viewed as a resource to be exploited and utilized to man’s sole advantage. It is this misguided view of Christ and the message of peace that has caused so much harm to nature.

Respect for nature means that when we explore the oceans and outer space, we look to the preservation of these other life forms because they have the inherent right to exist simply because they can be found nowhere else in the universe. Plants and animals are a special part of God’s creation. While Copernicus was right about location of the Earth in relation to the universe, he was mistaken about importance.

We will either change our behavior and start treating animals with respect, quit the cruelty and mass slaughter, or human civilization will collapse. Pandemics will continue and become even more deadly.13 As we switch from our current agriculture infrastructure to a plant-based diet, in addition to saving the environment, we will ultimately save ourselves. This change is going to occur because of economics, not the sudden realization that it is immoral to continue killing plants and animals.14

The Japan is a modern society with important traditions. One is respect and use of good manners. One solution to ending Japanese whaling and killing of dolphins is to politely ask this government to end the slaughter. Make the case to the Japanese government that dolphins and whales are highly intelligent creatures with complex social systems, their own communication and killing them because we can constitute a crime against nature and future generations. Ask, do not demand, use good manners and the great Japanese people will respond.

If we do not stop killing the plants and animals, more viruses will transfer from the animals and there will be many more pandemics. It will stop. We can volunteer or be drafted by our great Earth Mother but killing her creatures will end.

This nonsense by the small Japanese whaling community that their “tradition” should be preserved would make some sense were they fishing in Japanese waters in small wooden boats like their ancestors. That is not what is happening. Japanese whalers are in large modern ships and the whales have absolutely no chance to survive from their “tradition”. They kill whales all over the world. Just as the Saudi royal family mistreats women in the name of “tradition” and the Taliban shot a young girl in the face to prevent her from getting an education, some traditions must end. Whaling, killing dolphins and emptying the oceans of sea life and wild animal markets is inexcusable.

The United States can change its entire defense budget and cost structure by gifting aircraft carrier battle groups to other nations. Give one aircraft carrier battle group to the Japanese, one to Australia, one to South Korea, two to the European Union, one to Brazil and keep four carrier battle groups.

A Trident submarine can launch 192 nuclear warheads on any nation. The United States has 14 of these Ohio class submarines.17 None of these impressive machines can save the tuna stocks or stop whales and dolphins from being slaughtered. Again, none of these nuclear submarines can do ocean mining or research. America can bomb any country on Earth back to the stone age. But that does not help the environment or the economy or provide a future for young people. A Trident submarine and $5.00 will buy you a cup of coffee. They cannot stop a microscopic virus from shutting down the global economy. Defense spending is powerless against our Earth Mother’s immune system.

Mazatlan, Mexico, used to be a trashy resort city where the beaches were disgusting and full of garage. Today, under the leadership of former Mayor Alejandro Higuera Osuna, the beaches and city are clean and safe. His wife Sylvia helped the World Access Project deliver wheelchairs and hold a sports camp for people with disabilities. Again, it is a community choice to be clean, modern and safe. Jobs are created for the people who live in Mazatlan and from the increase in tourism from the nice hotels and clean beaches.

There is no reason other than laziness for homes or communities to be trashy. Criminals that belong to international crime organizations Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIS, drug dealers and others have one thing in common besides false religious beliefs. They are trashy, dirty, hairy, illiterate and want a world that is a garbage dump. Being clean is not a priority to people engaged in crime and violence.

Possessions are like stones that weigh you down as you swim through the currents of life. They can be stolen, broken and require your time. With fewer material possessions, you will save the environment and free up your life. “Who needs it” will be the rallying cry of this century. Remember, “things” cannot love you. We must be careful with the constant pursuit of possessions as often “things” are easier to acquire than to get rid of. Americans have so many “possessions” they build sheds next to garages to hold the consumer items that can’t fit in the oversized homes. Thus, on weekends across America, prior to the pandemic, there were yard sales where used goods were looking for buyers. There were swap meets where used items were sold and resold. We need to ask ourselves; do we own our things or do our things own us?

The rain forest needs to be returned to the indigenous tribes who have lived there for thousands of years. The indigenous communities are the canaries in the coal mine. The modern world will either listen to the elders of the indigenous communities or life on our small planet will die.

Climate change will flood entire nations and cause millions of refugees.6 If you think we have problems with immigration and refugees now, just wait until the glaciers melt and hundreds of millions of people are displaced and seek shelter in the nations that caused the climate change. Humanity is at a crossroads. We must face reality.

We make life far more complex than it is. If you have good physical and mental health, family and friends that love you and add a little sunshine, you are “rich. All the rest of it is just optics.

Russia and China must lead the world away from an ecological abyss. The United States does not have the leadership required to save humanity. The hate being preached by U.S. politicians has made things worse. Hate did not solve anything. Russia will have to do in this century what they did during the Great Patriotic War, known in the West as World War II. Their leaders are highly intelligent. They and the Chinese understand the environmental problems facing our small planet. Russia has been invaded numerous times. They take their defense matters seriously. For them it has been life and death. The environment and protection from pandemics are a national security issue for the entire planet. That certain politicians do not understand these issues does not make them go away. The Russians and Chinese have brilliant scientists.

China will soon be the world’s largest economy. The Chinese government is serious about reducing their greenhouse gases. The Chinese are building the most electric vehicles and lead the world in solar power production as well as research and development. Their scientists understand the importance of immediately addressing global environmental problems. China can save the sharks from extinction by banning shark fin soup. Instead of shouting at the Chinese, we need to politely ask them to seek food choice alternatives to shark fin soup. Bison from Native American reservations is an expensive and sustainable food choice alternative. This will help the Native American community and provide rich Chinese families with very exclusive, expensive meals for special occasions.

Once the United States has competent leadership, we need to lead the world in making the high seas off-limits to industrial commercial fishing. We have the world’s most powerful navy. We need to use this global power to enforce international law in protecting the oceans. This change in mission will cause new ship building as aircraft carrier battle groups become obsole...

The planet is now one — all we need is a functioning international legal system where nations and wealthy individuals agree to play by the rules. The United States should work with other countries and expand the rule of law throughout the entire planet. We cannot be a law on to ourselves and ignore international law. The pandemic has brought an end to Pax Americana.

This Covid-19 Virus is a clear message from our great Earth Mother to immediately change our behavior. This is a medical problem that requires all of us to work together. We will work together and stop the mass murder of plants and animals or we will have more pandemics. It’s that simple.

I did not spend a great deal of intellectual effort addressing international “terrorism” in this small book for a simple reason. That is an international law enforcement problem. As a global community, we need to work together and arrest people charged with criminal offenses. There are more pressing problems facing our small planet than rich Middl...

Law is a sacred, fragile flower, a belief system. Without the rule of law there will be the extinction of numerous land and ocean species, and eventually a collapse of civilization. Our environmental problems will cause extinction. We will choke to death in our own pollution. Viruses will become more virulent and continue to jump from animals to humans. The Earth’s immune system will continue to see us as parasi...

Please heed the warning our great Earth Mother has sent to us. The viruses are her immune system warning us to not kill her plants and animals. We are passengers on this spaceship. We share this planet with the other passengers. We cannot continue to murder them. We must love them and love each other.
