I have missed your regular e-mails since changing my email address - I have also had difficulty finding you again till now.
My old address was: donaldharris@uwclub.net
The new one is: dlsh@uwclub.net
I did send out the new one to everybody except the spammers - please reinstate me as your subscriber, to be sent to regularly.

PS the purpose of the change was to escape the spammers - so far fairly successful.

Sorry Donald.

If the fix does not work, you can now sign up to the email in the top left side-bar.

By the way -- I have found that moving to Google hosting did wonders for my spam, even without a change of address. The power of all those email accounts alerting Google to a spam message is very powerful!

I wanted to let you know about a new venture at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. It is called the Middle East Strategic Information (MESI) project and the director is Yehuda Avner, former ambassador and advisor to five Israeli prime-minister's. I am the editor of the project. www.mesi.org.uk

The Middle East Strategic Information (MESI) project provides a unique in-depth analysis of the Middle East and its strategic issues as they relate to the UK and the outside world. The MESI informs beyond the headlines and provides news and evaluations that provide important relevant data to the understanding of the Middle East. This project is aimed at the UK public in particular as you will see from the site.

What makes us unique is as part of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs; the MESI has access to senior politicians, diplomats, high-ranking security officials, academics, legal experts and strategists from Israel and around the Middle East. These provide MESI with an important infrastructure to disseminate a professional and credible analysis of events from the region.

Do you know how best to disseminate a project like this so it receives as wide an audience in the UK as possible? I would be very grateful for any suggestions that you could provide.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ashley Perry

Dear Nobel Peace Women:

Let’s make history.  Women have an amazing opportunity at their fingertips, if they choose to exercise it.  Gandhi and King led movements of nonviolence.  What if women led a global movement of nonviolence?  It would empower women everywhere.  It would bring attention to all women issues.  All that is needed is a catalyst.

• There is a problem in Iran.  Baha’i women and men have been arrested without charges.  Let’s turn this into an opportunity.  The Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha’i Faith, in a book entitled “Women”, states about women, “…when they form a conscious and overwhelming mass of public opinion against war there can be no war.” 

• Let’s mobilize women to STOP and PREVENT WAR

It is time for women to create change, not wait for it.  And the whole world should know about it!  All the women need is a CATALYST.  The women in Iran, or Europe, or the U.S., cannot do it by themselves.  They need the whole world.

The Nobel Peace Women can provide the catalyst.  The key is empowering the women and mobilizing.  If the women in Iran see the women of the world mobilizing to stop war, and vice versa, via nonviolence and in a conciliatory manner, there will be change.

 It has been my honor and privilege to develop a “Global Strategy of Nonviolence, For the Children” (GS of NV).  It is based upon people power with nonviolence as its strength.  It is led by women but not exclusive to women.  It states that the time has come for nonviolence to be the doctrine of all societies and countries.  It is my theory that through this strategy, women’s issues will be addressed.  A GS of NV is to be implemented by an initiative called a “Call to Women, a World-wide Unity Campaign.”   

A GS of NV is a comprehensive plan, designed as a “guideline,” to mobilize the women of the world, to STOP WAR, based on nonviolence, for the purpose of creating a new political paradigm based on humanitarian efforts, starting with, and prioritizing programs for the children.  The plans include administration, funding, marketing, implementation and follow-up.  The overall strategy is a three phase, three year plan.

Many elements are in place and many women leaders know of the basics of the plan – Dr. Helen Caldicott (Australia), Sister Joan Chittister (US), Margarita Papandreou (Greece), Anita Vargas (Bolivia- South America), Ela Gandhi  (South Africa), etc.  All that is needed is someone, some group, or something to tie it all together.

Let’s show what women can do!  Men are not excluded.  Women peace and humanitarian networks are everywhere.  All the networks around the world are ready for a catalyst.

The plans are available for review.  Research to support the theories and plans is available for review.  Please contact me at calltowomen@rcn.com .

Peace and Love,
