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.

12/16/23: RE-DIRECTING TO PRES. BIDEN OUR 10/14/2009 PLEA TO PRES. OBAMA FOR A PALESTINIAN “MARSHALL PLAN”

Post by johnkarls »

.
At our 12/13/2023 meeting, the unanimous decision was taken to re-direct to PRESIDENT Biden our 10/14/2009 plea to Pres. Obama for a Palestinian “Marshall Plan” in order to avoid a nuclear holocaust that might well lead to “the twilight of the humans.”

The re-direct proposal concerning “a Marshall Plan for Palestinians” was contained in Sec. C of the Suggested Discussion Outline for the Dec. 13 meeting – please see viewtopic.php?f=775&t=2441&sid=392b4a78 ... 15d3e7ceed.

Sec. C of the Suggested Discussion Outline contained a link to where our 10/14/2009 plea to Pres. Obama was quoted ver batim in a “Participant Comment” for our 12/13/2023 meeting - please see viewtopic.php?f=772&t=2438&sid=5fb59ec8 ... 5b2668514a.

Our procedure for re-directing is for the new plea to track the earlier one ver batim – except to up-date statistics such as, in this case, the number of refugees and the pitiful standard-of-living in Gaza and the West Bank.

Here is a copy of our 12/16/2023 letter to Pres. Biden --

The Original Marshall Plan Accompanied The Long-Term Occupation/Reformation of Nazi Germany

Dear John,

I have a question about the subject plea that was posted on our website earlier today.

Isn’t it a mistake to funnel more money to the Palestinians who serve as proxies for Iran?

Your friend,

Solutions

Dear Solutions,

Thank you for your query.

My e-mail subject “says it all” – the original Marshall Plan accompanied the long-term occupation/reformation of Nazi Germany.

You probably recall the following points from Q&A-44 through Q&A-46 of the Short Quiz for the Dec 13 meeting (please see viewtopic.php?f=772&t=2437&sid=4827b45c ... 07b432f800) –

(1) Both the PLO following Yasser Arafat’s reneging on the 2000 two-state agreement facilitated by Pres. Bill Clinton, and Hamas per its foundational documents, refuse to recognize Israel’s “right to exist” and follow Arafat’s promise never to rest until Israel “is thrown into the sea.”

(2) Israel (per War Cabinet Member Ron Dermer and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) proposes to destroy Hamas and proceed to occupy Gaza for years thereafter, similarly to the way the U.S. occupied Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan for many years to transform German/Japanese society so that today, Germany and Japan have for nearly 8 decades, been two of America’s most loyal allies

(3) Q-46 asked whether, if the Dermer/Netanyahu plan is not implemented, the world will soon see a nuclear holocaust between Israel and Iran. [The unanimous opinion of our Dec 13 meeting participants was a resounding “yes”!!!]

*****
It is respectfully suggested that the long-term occupation/reformation of Nazi Germany could NOT have been accomplished without the Marshall Plan which provided funds to rebuild.

And that the same was true vis-à-vis Imperial Japan though the rebuilding funding that accompanied the long-term occupation/reformation there did not (if memory serves) have a formal name like its Marshall Plan counterpart.

So, of course, our proposed Marshall Plan for the Palestinians could serve as the “sine qua non” that makes the Israeli long-term occupation/reformation of Gaza and the West Bank successful.

Thank you again for your e-mail.

Your friend,

John K.
