NEXT MEETING

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE NINTH (FIRST UNNUMBERED) SECTION BELOW FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR NEXT MEETING.


*****
WHO/WHAT WE ARE

We are a U.S. public-policy monthly discussion group founded in the Fall of 2005 that meets on the third Wednesday of each month (with adjustments to avoid secular/religious holidays).

Since February 2020, we have met via Zoom. [For the first 14.5 years of our existence, we met at the Salt Lake City Library (210 East 400 South) with remote participation via Skype.]

The topic is selected by the attendees of the previous month’s meeting. The focus is usually a book but frequently comprises only news items from magazines/newspapers/etc. This bulletin board serves, inter alia, as a place for members to post comments or additional reference materials prior to each meeting.

Our attendance averages 11-12. Participants come from all walks of life but our regular attendees include 4 attorneys and 3 scientists.

There are approx. 225 recipients of our weekly newsletter, many of whom reside outside Utah and participate by Zoom.

40 SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION E-MAIL CAMPAIGNS, 4 REPORTS & 9 REPRISES

We take great pride in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaigns to America's decision makers which, with only a few computer keyboard key strokes, can be sent by each of our members (1) to the decision maker, and (2) to all of the member's friends and acquaintances requesting them to do the same in an unending chain.

Accordingly, we also take great pride that each of our official recommendations has been approved unanimously at one of our meetings or, at most, received only one dissent.

All 40 e-mail campaigns over the years are collected in this section. They include 10 e-mails sent by John Karls that did not receive an official endorsement for the rest of our members to send. The titles of the 30 official recommendations are ALL CAPS and the titles of 10 unofficial recommendations are lower case.

The date of the meeting at which each of the 40 campaigns was adopted is listed so that voluminous additional information about that campaign can be accessed by scrolling down to the sections of this bulletin board that relate to that meeting.

In addition, there are four items whose descriptions begin with “REPORT.” They are reports of our Great Salt Lake Working Group which was formed IAW our “Short-Time Fuse” procedures described in the next section of this bulletin board.

There is also a 1/20/2021 “Report” of our JCPOA Working Group.

Finally, there are eight items whose descriptions begin with “REPRISE.” They describe additional actions that were taken IAW previous official e-mail campaigns to bring their approved policies to the attention of additional decision makers.

REPRISE: MARSHALL-TYPE PLAN FOR THE PALESTINIANS

Post by johnkarls »

Dear Friends,

We take great pride in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaigns to decision makers which, with only a few computer keyboard key strokes, can be sent by each of our members (1) to the decision maker, and (2) to all of the member's friends and acquaintances requesting them to do the same in an unending chain.

[Indeed, these campaigns are what make us more than an unimportant self-edification group of patriotic policy wonks.]

Accordingly, we also take great pride that each of our recommendations has been approved unanimously at one of our meetings or, at most, received only one dissent.

[Though renewing an e-mail campaign to a different recipient is listed in Sec. 1 of http://www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org with our other 44 e-mail campaigns as a “REPRISE” and does not necessarily require another meeting to re-authorize.]

**********
However, the following “REPRISE” e-mail campaign was approved at our 1/15/2020 meeting.

[The original e-mail campaign of 10/14/2009 ten years ago on the subject of “A Marshall-Type Plan For Palestinians” was directed to President Obama and its text, as noted below, is available at viewtopic.php?f=572&t=1865. Unfortunately, unlike so many of our other e-mail campaigns to other decision makers which have been surprisingly effective, President Obama ignored our plea.]

The materials for our 1/15/2020 meeting are available on www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org by scrolling past the first 8 sections which are numbered, to the unnumbered sections which comprise a cluster of sections dealing with each of our meetings IN REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

Subject: CALL TO ACTION – ONLY 5 MINUTES NEEDED FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE – “SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION” E-MAIL CAMPAIGN TO SOLVE THE PALESTINIAN ISSUE (AND AVOID “THE TWILIGHT OF THE HUMANS”)

Dear Friends,

I have been requested to participate in the referenced "call to action" and request that you participate as well.

It is the 45th such E-mail Campaign on various topics recommended by a monthly patriotic non-partisan public-policy study group over the last 14 years comprising already-prepared e-mails that can be sent to decision makers on important policy issues.

Such e-mail campaigns require unanimity or, at most, one dissent -- the following two-part e-mail (due to a 2,000-character limit) was approved at their 1/15/2020 meeting.

The campaigns are based on the fact that there are NO MORE THAN SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION between the group and 100% of the American population.

And that, on important occasions, we can send to all of our friends and acquaintances an already-prepared e-mail (1) for them to send to decision maker(s), and (2) for them to send to all of their friends and acquaintances to do the same in an unending chain.


**********
THE REASONS FOR THIS E-MAIL CAMPAIGN

The reasons for this campaign are explained in the text of the two-part e-mail (due to a 2,000 character limit) that appears below.

If you would like additional information, it is available on http://www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org by scrolling past the first 7 paragraphs that are numbered to the cluster of sections for our 1/15/2019 meeting (the unnumbered sections deal with each of our meetings over the last 14 years and are in reverse-chronological order).


**********
YOUR REQUESTED ACTION (5 MINUTES NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE) --

If you agree with the recommended two-part e-mail appearing below, please:

(1) send the already-prepared two-part e-mail appearing below to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact (which will require inputting your contact info before copying/pasting the text of the first part – followed by doing so again for the text of the second part); and

(2) forward to all your friends and acquaintances this e-mail package – so that, through no more than six degrees of separation to 100% of the American population, we reach everyone in a cascading chain.



********************************************[Part 1 due to 2,000 character limit] ********************************************
President Donald J. Trump

Dear Mr. President:

Re: American Policy Toward Palestinians

Thank you very much for all of the tireless efforts exerted by you and your team on the Palestinian issue, especially your “Peace to Prosperity Plan.”

On 6/22/2019 you released the economic portion of your “Peace to Prosperity” plan which was the focus of a US-led conference with the same title a couple of weeks later in Bahrain attended by official delegations from, inter alia, the members of the Gulf State Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman), Egypt, Jordan, etc., and quite a few individuals such as former British Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair. [The Palestinians declined to send an official delegation so Israel was not invited to send one – though according to the Washington Post, a smattering of individual participants from both business communities attended.]

The Palestinians subsequently rejected your “Peace to Prosperity” economic proposals. And the Palestinians rejected the propriety of the Arab countries that attended the Bahrain conference as representatives of the Palestinians. So no wonder that you have not yet released the “Peace” portion of your “Peace to Prosperity” plan.

HOWEVER, please do NOT permit the Palestinian reaction to consign this issue which is in its SEVENTH decade to more years of “benign neglect”!!!

After all, the UN’s Relief and Works Agency which administers all of the Palestinian refugee camps reports that there are now 5.5 million Palestinian refugees. And the World Bank reported on 10/9/2019 that 46% of the total population of Gaza lives in poverty, defined as less than $5.50/day.

The UN biennial reports state that international trafficking in slaves by organized crime rivals in size organized crime’s illegal-drugs business and its illegal-arms business – and that the source of those slaves is refugee camps which overflow with human beings…

[To Be Continued Momentarily]


********************************************[Part 2 due to 2,000 character limit] ********************************************
[This is the continuation of a message on The Palestinian Issue sent a few moments ago.]

The UN biennial reports state that international trafficking in slaves by organized crime rivals in size organized crime’s illegal-drugs business and its illegal-arms business – and that the source of those slaves is refugee camps which overflow with human beings ready to believe organized crime’s promises of “a better life” (which, for North American destinations, is primarily sex slavery, though organ removal, pornography, forced labor, etc., also occur). [Unfortunately, the UN reports do not break down their statistics between the 5.5 million Palestinians and the other 65.3 million worldwide refugees.]

The UN’s “Bible” on the subject reports that there are at least TWICE AS MANY people CURRENTLY TRAPPED in some form of slavery as were traded throughout the 350-plus years of the transatlantic slavery industry. And because of the large supply of refugees, the average retail price of a “sex slave” in the U.S. is only $5,250, on whom the annual net profit averages $58,015 or 10 times the initial investment with no other up-front costs such as workforce training – so no surprise, most “sex slaves” are dead before age 35.

The U.S. began providing Egypt and Israel with $6 billion/year of economic aid when they signed their 1979 Peace Agreement. It would seem a comparable amount (OR WHATEVER) would be a small price to pay to provide a real solution to a conflict that has festered for more than 60 years and, with nuclear arms soon to permeate the area, could soon produce a nuclear holocaust that might lead to "the twilight of the humans"!!!

So please do NOT let your “Peace to Prosperity Plan” languish just because more “carrot” and direct negotiations with the Palestinians seem to be necessary.

Thank you for your consideration.
