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.

Sean Hannity’s Shameful “Propaganda” About Ukraine Which He Presented as Legitimate News

Post by johnkarls »

.

The following e-mail was sent to hannity@fox.com protesting Hannity’s 1/28/2025 propaganda-interview of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Hannity’s announced 1/30/2025 interview of Zelenskyy.

It is shameful “propaganda” for, in part, the reasons set forth in the following e-mail.

But it is also shameful “propaganda” because, over the years, Sean Hannity has always trumpeted that –

• So-called news on other networks is in fact fictitious propaganda, BUT
• Hannity does everything (news and opinion) and when he does news, it is NOT misleading propaganda.

Shame on Sean Hannity!!!

*****
BTW, our quick protest proves the necessity for our so-called Working Groups which are formed, as Sec. 8 of www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org states -- “whenever a particular policy issue (1) may require immediate action on the spur of the moment (rendering addressing it at the next regular monthly meeting impractical), and/or (2) may require long-term attention.”

This e-mail to Sean Hannity (as well as the 1/8/2025 Letter to President Trump) were produced by our Working Group on “Ukraine’s 12/5/1994 Guaranty From America Of Its Independence AND Territorial Integrity If It Gave Up Its 1,900 Multiple-Warhead Nuclear Missiles.”

Please see the 11/15/2024 notice to all of our then-234 members establishing this Working Group and inviting each of them to join, at viewtopic.php?f=829&t=2572&sid=4eb9f25e ... 4f9d0d6466.

Mr. Sean Hannity
Fox News

Dear Sir:

For many years, I have religiously watched your week-night show on Fox News.

Rarely have I disagreed with anything you have said.

And never before have I contacted you about anything you said or are doing.

HOWEVER, I was shocked and appalled last evening by your interview of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and your announcement that you would telecast the second part of your interview with him on Thursday.

Attached is the letter sent to President Trump on 1/8/2025 on the subject of Ukraine surrendering its 1,900 multiple-warhead nuclear missiles in exchange for America’s Guarantee of Ukrainian Independence and Territorial Integrity.

It was sent by a non-partisan public-policy study/action group that I have facilitated for 19 years and that specializes in what we call “Six Degrees of Separation E-mail Campaigns” in which all of our members are requested to send an already-prepared e-mail to a decision maker AND TO SEND IT TO EACH RECIPIENT’S FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME IN AN UNENDING CHAIN (which IAW the theory of “six degrees of separation” should mean millions of e-mails in the decision maker’s in box in no time flat).

Yes, last evening you did not edit out President Zelenskyy’s short and opaque one-sentence reference to America’s guarantee BUT YOU DID NOT PERMIT ANY EXPLANATION THAT THE AMERICAN GUARANTEE WAS EXCHANGED FOR SURRENDERING THOSE NUCLEAR MISSILES.

And at the close of last evening’s show, you announced that Thursday evening’s show would be dedicated to YOUR DE FACTO RETROACTIVE AMENDMENT TO THAT GUARANTEE of whether and how Ukraine will repay America $200 billion for the weapons we have provided them as if the American guarantee (which to date has not involved any American military personnel) were merely an assurance that we would sell SOME arms to Ukraine so that they MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT be able to defend themselves.

It would appear that you agree wholeheartedly with former President Barack Obama whose attitude toward Ukraine when it was attacked by Russia in 2014 effectively was –

IF UKRAINE WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO SURRENDER ITS 1,900 MULTIPLE-WARHEAD NUCLEAR MISSILES IN RETURN FOR AN AMERICAN “GUARANTEE” OF ITS INDEPENDENCE AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY – THEN IT DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE A COUNTRY!!!

Please believe that this e-mail is sent to you with the best of intentions that you “see the light” and alter your behavior.

Your Adoring Fan,
