Unfortunately, nothing with them has been settled yet and
certain additional submissions have been delayed because i
haven't been able to afford them.
Also delayed have been promised submission to
Gorbachev and Lech Walesa. The statement to the
Soviet leader, i promised in the Christmas, 1988 one,
will contain an accurate summary-chronology of my "International Diplomatic Work...on a direct
basis" re nuclear arms reductions.* This would be needed to
put a fair perspective on the problems in 1982 (after
Reagan formally adopted the nuclear arms reduction
strategy i helped formulate in 1978) that may have discouraged
those popular entertainers from following through at that time
with the plans we made following the 1978 Soviet cancellation of
the Fleetwood Mac goodwill concert tour of the U.S.S.R. You
realize that neither Reagan nor Trudeau pre-advised me of their
intentions in this field and paid no attention to how many
people in the international community were, nonetheless, aware
of those 1978 plans.
The statement to Gorbachev also was being planned to help
Gorbachev to permit a multi-party system in
the U.S.S.R. As i said earlier here about writing you this, the
example we set will have far reaching effects. If there is
no satisfaction with the policymaking by the government in power
or the policymaking would benefit from outside advisements...is
not the real nature of democracy to have the potentials offered
by an established multi-party system?**
And incidentally, proceeding from the 1978 work and supplements
since--including the February 5, 1988 submission
to the New York Stock Exchange's John J. Phelan,
Jr.--this submission to the faltering Soviet leader was
to contain a suggestion for how he should respond to the
continuing nationalism rising in the Soviet republics....The suggestion might not be welcome from a
strident U.S. or Canadian government with doubts created by how
my diplomatic work in this field has been respected by them,
but i suspect it would be given serious consideration coming
from me with respect for the contents of my first four
submissions to Gorbachev or doubts about Gorbachev
would be valid. Given the publicity this will draw to my "International Diplomatic Work...on a
direct basis," i couldn't very well leave the hostage "loose
end" unaddressed....I trust you understand the point of my
May 24, 1989 request then.
I also owe a submission to Dr. Tom Perry, Jr. of
"Physicians For The Prevention of Nuclear War"--also the N.D.P.
Vancouver-Point Grey M.L.A.--whom i met on September 16, 1989 at
a rally following the "WALK FOR THE ENVIRONMENT".*** This will
contain the copies of the aforementioned statements to Reagan and Gorbachev that i
promised in them would be given to the 1985 Nobel Peace
Prize-winning group.
I also owe a submission to Colonel (retired) Norm Hoye
of "Veterans Against Nuclear Arms", with whom i have spoken by
phone several times since my last statement to you, and from
whom i've been sent information about that group.****
But i've been unable to get in touch with Raymond
Chan, the Canadian Chinese human rights activist i was
referred to last July by Tiananmen Square massacre protesters.
I will as soon as i have ready my statement about Red Chinese
policymaking in relation to my overall work.
You see, sir, in doing some research about the history of
Communist policy repressing religious and political freedom in
China, i discovered a striking coincidence between its
characteristics and those that enabled Pretoria to develop a
nuclear arms capability and those which have been so typical of
the responses by Ottawa and Washington to my my "International Diplomatic Work...on a
direct basis." Apparently there is something quite
significant i can now do to help the oppressed students,
consistent with what i can offer to main-
*-All i want to say here about this is that i
haven't sent this summary-chronology to Gorbachev. Since
he left office and has been replaced by (the presently ailing
again) Boris Yeltsin, i have at times pondered to whom i
should make such a submission if it turns out that the
Clinton are not going to scale back up the
abandoned Reagan Administration plan to deploy an
S.D.I./"Star Wars" shield to cover all the military and
diplomatic facilities throughout the world of the U.S.--and
presumably its allies.
Do i have visions in my mind of this system homing in from
either space or land on
the suitcase-sized
nuclear weapons, "five pound bag of sugar"-sized biological
weapons, and presumably the "one millionth of a gram" per human
fatality biological weapons mentioned on the February 18, 1996
edition of "60 Minutes"?
Just as often as i have visions of pigs flying.
And i've already explained i told President Carter,
Dr. Waldheim, et al in 1978 that i did "inhale" in
the past--the last time specifically during the Yom Kippur War
when i was stranded in Vancouver, there were news reports that
"all of us" then have been on the
brink of World War III, and i was missing a girlfriend back in
Thunder Bay.
I have never since "inhale(d)" or done any illegal drugs.
I had two beers late last year--making my total consumption of
alcohol in the past year and a half...two beers.
VATICAN DOCUMENT COPIES...CARTER PROMISED TO RETURN 1978
COPIES...
DON'T THINK THE WISDOM OF THOMAS
JEFFERSON IS PASSÉ YET IN WHAT YOU ARE ENTITLED
TO FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT? LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD: TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE TO SIGN MY
GUESTBOOK.
**-This is as good an explanation for what this website--and its
guestbook--is about as i could draw from the contents of my
files about this "International Diplomatic
Work...on a direct basis" for the world's children. If
visitors to this website find satisfaction with what seems
certain to lie ahead because of how this "International Diplomatic Work...on a direct
basis" for the world's children was responded to by the
governments in Ottawa and Washington, they ought to say so in
the guestbook.
If they're not happy with it, they ought to say so in the
guestbook.
***-Just for the record here, this event was staged at
Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Park, where President
Clinton and President Yeltsin had dinner on the
Saturday night they were in this city for their first summit
meeting together, in 1993.
****-I met with Colonel Hoye at his Vancouver area home
on March 1, 1990, and gave him copies of what you find if you TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE, TAKE A SECOND BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE, TAKE A THIRD BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE, and
TAKE A FOURTH BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.
We didn't spend a lot of time together. He and his wife offered
me refreshments and we talked briefly.
I mentioned to him that my father is a
Royal Canadian Air Force veteran, wounded over Europe fighting
the Nazis during World War Two, and he indicated his respect
for this.
I noticed on their coffee table a copy of a magazine published
by the Royal Canadian Legion, a group of Canadian veterans who
host events and have a chain of pubs across the country to help
the cause and needs of veterans. I told him when i was younger
and living with my parents i used to see and browse through the
copies my father got in the mail. We
had been discussing the name and purposes of his group, and he
told me: They don't believe a nuclear war is survivable. Where
they could be, in their golden years like so many others, be
playing shuffleboard, attending bingos, or living in Florida,
they continue the cause that cost them so much when they were
younger: the struggle for peace for themselves and "all of us".
I told him that i told Bob Dole in the course of the 1978
"International Diplomatic Work...on a
direct basis" for the world's children about my father's war record. I told him that
when i was a teenager back in Thunder Bay and the subject of
World War II was being taught in high school, knowing he was a
flight officer in the R.C.A.F. during World War II and seeing my father going to the refrigerator each
morning to get a salve to put on his wound to ease the pain, i
casually asked him about the war one day. I told Colonel
Hoye that he snapped angrily at me, asking me if i didn't
have to be at school or something, and refused to talk further.
The next day my mother came up to me, told me that he had asked
her to explain to me that the wound still caused him pain and he
had some bad memories from the war: He had lost some good
friends during the fighting.
A few days later he came up to me, apologized for losing his
temper with me about this, and told me that i "better hope (i)
never have to fight in a war."
I told Colonel Hoye that i told Bob Dole in 1978
that i told my father back then that
if i was him back when he was a teenager, i'd have done the same
thing. I know what they sacrificed to secure for "all of us" what they fought for. As
i reminded President Carter in my November 20, 1981
registered letter to him, what you find if you TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP
HERE.
40 million people died to secure for us freedom from the tyranny
of the precursor to apartheid.
Commenting on the Royal Canadian Legion magazine, Colonel
Hoye told me that his "Veterans Against Nuclear Arms" group
has a bit of trouble with that group of veterans because, he
told me with mild amusement, "They don't know what to make of
us."
I told him that== 1978 Carter understanding/1989 to Dr.
Perry/1985 article to Greenpeace event quote/ Kennedy termf
Presumably, if this website gets attention after Cronkite (link
to Caldicott)...and guestbook...the Legion will know what to
make of them.
