- THERE ARE SOME VERY SERIOUS REASONS WHY I AM OPENING THIS PAGE NOW THAT WILL BE ELABORATED UPON IN COMING WEEKS AS I HAVE THE CAPABILITY AND TIME TO EXPLAIN THEM. BUT FOR NOW PLEASE CONSIDER THE CONTENTS OF TERM OF REFERENCE 1) j) i) HERE.

THIS PERIOD OF "INACTION" BY OTTAWA DELINEATED BY THIS TERM OF REFERENCE WOULD COVER THE TIME IN 1978 WHEN I ASKED PIERRE E. TRUDEAU FOR HIS HELP IN THIS FIELD WHEN I WAS DOING THE "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT BASIS" FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN.
IN THESE FORTHCOMING WEEKS I WILL ALSO GO BACK THROUGH MY DAY CALENDARS AND FILE COPIES TO VERIFY THE DATES AND NAMES OF THE AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS OFFICIALS I MET WITH TO MAKE SURE THAT NELSON MANDELA HAD COPIES OF MY WORK RE ENDING APARTHEID AND SECURING HIS FREEDOM.

GIVEN "(MY) PRESENT SITUATION" SINCE DECEMBER, 1981 AND THE INCOME I AM CAPABLE OF EARNING WITHOUT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AS IT HAPPENS THE LAST TIME I WENT IN PERSON TO THE HOME OF AN A.N.C. AUTHORITY (MY FRIEND, GEORGE LAI THOM) TO GIVE HIM DOCUMENT COPIES (HE WASN'T HOME, SO I SLID THEM THROUGH HIS MAIL SLOT), I COULDN'T AFFORD TO MAKE COPIES OF THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS LISTED BELOW.

SO...IF THE RECENT BOMBINGS IN AFRICA IN ANY WAY RELATE TO THE A.N.C. AWARENESS OF MY "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT BASIS" FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN AND THE DEARTH OF TRUTH ABOUT IT ELSEWHERE THAN THIS AWARD-WINNING WEBSITE, IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD THAT I DIDN'T GIVE THEM COPIES OF THIS LIST OR ITS CONTENTS.

I HAVE BEEN PLANNING TO MAKE A FORMAL SUBMISSION TO MR. MANDELA ABOUT THE 1986 ATTACKS ON SOUTH AFRICA'S NEIGHBOURS AS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE STATEMENT THAT YEAR TO GLENN BABB.
I REALIZED IT IS TOO SERIOUS AN ISSUE TO LEAVE IN A FORUM WITHOUT RECOURSE BEYOND SYMBOLIC REBUKE LIKE THE "TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION" OF MY FRIEND DESMOND TUTU.
I WILL ALSO BE LOOKING FOR THE SAUDI GAZETTE ARTICLE I PHOTOCOPIED A FEW YEARS AGO WHICH REPORTED THAT THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN AFRICA IS ISLAM.

GO BACK THROUGH THE FIRST THREE ILLUSTRATED REASONS I GIVE FOR OPENING THIS AWARD-WINNING WEBSITE (REASON 1, THEN REASON 2, AND THEN REASON 3), AS WELL AS CONSIDER HOW MUCH RESPECT THE CONTENTS OF THIS WEBSITE WOULD INDICATE I HAVE LONG HELD FOR NELSON MANDELA. (AND YOU WILL FIND THAT ASIDE FOR WHAT IS INDICATED BELOW, I GAVE HIM AND HIS GOVERNMENT-IN-WAITING COPIES OF EVERYTHING I DID IN CONTINUING THIS "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT BASIS" FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN AS WAS PROMISED IN THE 1978 DOCUMENTATION AND ACCORDING TO THE 1978 PRESUMED BINDING "LEGAL AGREEMENT" THAT RELATED TO AFRICA AND ENDING APARTHEID PEACEFULLY.)

I MIGHT ALSO HERE AND NOW PARTICULARLY DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU FIND IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE. TERM OF REFERENCE 1) g) TO MY DECEMBER, 1991 REGISTERED LETTER TO "IRANGATE" INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR LAWRENCE WALSH--ESPECIALLY THE THIRD COMPONENT OF IT.

AS I SAY, I'LL DIG OUT THE DATES AND NAMES OF THE SPECIFIC A.N.C. OFFICIALS TO WHOM I GAVE IN PERSON THE RELEVANT DOCUMENT COPIES FOR FUTURE CLARIFICATION. BUT FOR NOW, I WILL POINT OUT THAT I GAVE THE A.N.C. COPIES OF MY SECOND AND THIRD STATEMENTS TO MR. WALSH BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU FIND IF YOU TAKE THIS SUGGESTED BRIEF SIDESTEP (AND ITS THIRD COMPONENT IN PARTICULAR.)

GIVEN THAT THE APARTHEID REGIME HAD BEEN ARMING THE A.N.C.'S POLITICAL ADVERSARY, INKHATA, AND LYING ABOUT IT--I DECIDED I OUGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT MR. MANDELA AND HIS GOVERNMENT-IN-WAITING WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A "LEGITIMATE" THREAT NUCLEAR WEAPONS WERE AVAILABLE TO BE USED AGAINST THEM.

JUST AS A BRIEF PREFACE TO WHAT IS TO COME, I WOULD POINT OUT HERE THAT I OBTAINED THIS DATA RE THE DATE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN NUCLEAR TEST FROM A BOOK GIVEN TO ME BY THE CHAIRMAN OF VANCOUVER'S "ANTI-APARTHEID NETWORK," ONE OF TWO ANTI-APARTHEID GROUPS I BELONGED TO UNTIL MR. MANDELA AND THE A.N.C. BECAME THE GOVERNMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ESTABLISHED THE MULTI-RACIAL DEMOCRACY AND EXAMPLE TO THE DEVELOPING WORLD.

I RAN INTO HIM ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO ON VANCOUVER'S MAIN STREET, MENTIONED TO HIM THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM SOON, AND EXPLAINED WHY: BASICALLY, THE SOUTH AFRICAN NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY AND ITS SOURCE.
HE IS THE TWO-TIME PAST PRESIDENT OF THE "B.C. TEACHERS FEDERATION".

IT'S ALMOST AN INSULT TO EVEN ASK THIS, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T HEAR SOME OF THESE THINGS ELSEWHERE THAN THIS AWARD-WINNING WEBSITE AND YOU THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE, DON'T YOU THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE?
MIND YOU, I AM MINDFUL OF THINGS LIKE THE ONGOING DISPUTE OVER THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD, "IS," AND THE RELATIVE INTELLIGENCE OF THOSE AFFECTED BY MY "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT BASIS"...AS OPPOSED TO HIS.
YOU WILL ENSUINGLY SEE THIS IN THE "CONTEXT" OF, MAY I POINT OUT BY ASKING YOU TO TAKE ANOTHER BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE, WHAT I KNOW IS "BEING LEFT UNSAID" IN AND REGARDING "(MY) PRESENT SITUATION" RE THIS WORK I DID FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN?
UNDERLINING THIS POINT, I ALSO RECOMMEND YOU TAKE THIS BRIEF SERIES OF SIDESTEPS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND A KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CANADIAN AND AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM.

AND NOW THE LIST OF CONTENTS IN THE FORM OF THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSIONS TO THE LEADERS OF CANADA’S THREE MAJOR FEDERAL POLITICAL PARTIES.
