History teaches that national defence through military power is a mirage. World events in this century prove that when nations develop a bigger military force it only induces distrust and fear in other nations and attracts their aggression. The time has gone when military power could be considered the power to save. Today, military power means the ability to destroy oneself.

The Natural Law Party does not oppose military power. Rather, we ask the question: "Can perfect defence be brought about by current military power alone?" In our defence policy, in particular through our plans for a prevention wing within the armed forces, we have designed complementary programmes of Natural Law to raise the power of military defence to invincibility and secure an indomitable influence of integrity in national life.

By creating the Maharishi Effect through a 'Prevention Wing' in the military, Britain will radiate a peaceful influence to all nations, naturally disallowing the birth of an enemy

Being a friend to all nations

There is no defence against a determined aggressor. Security therefore relies on remaining a friend to other nations.

But how can we accomplish this? For history provides another lesson: political treaties and military alliances do not ensure lasting friendship. Britain needs an invincible defence strategy by which we can maintain friendliness with all nations.

There is only one invincible element in nature: the evolutionary power of Natural Law. That same nourishing power of Natural Law that maintains the security of the Earth, the moon, and all the planets moving in empty space with infinite dynamism, that same invincible power, if properly used, should be able to provide absolute defence to life on Earth and to the life of any nation on Earth.
