Excuse My Absence…

June 27, 2020

Dear Friends and Followers,

Excuse my absence …

I’ve taken this “lockdown” COVID period to go within … to assess our radically shifting world conditions, the disintegration and irrelevance of our two political parties, the massive street violence we are experiencing across the United States, the potential for an unintended Nuclear War with all treaties soon expiring, my family responsibilities, my approaching mid-80 lifespan … and CCI’s future.

With COVID as a cover, I retreated to my 4th floor condo like a hermit while keeping up with Internet news and TV channels I seldom watched in the past. I’ve consulted with a few VIP’s via email and attempted to create several options for new CCI projects/programs after COVID diminishes.

Being one accustomed to creating solutions, my prognosis for solutions and the future today is guarded … if not nil.

This perfect storm for disaster we are experiencing has no adequate potential leaders in positions near power. In any case we will elect a deeply flawed-person as president of our nation-in-jeopardy. Persons who are following this first-ever-such national dilemma are predicting that only a mass awakening of American people will change the outcome –– and I’m not sure this can happen.

Due to Current Conditions, No Emails from Sharon

June 8, 2020

Dear CCI Readers,

Due to Sharon purchasing a new MacBook prior to the lockdown, she still  hasn’t had documents transferred to the new machine. Apple has been boarded up, no appointments until today. They estimate it will take 3 to 5 days to transfer documents to the new MacBook. No emails during this time.

Putin’s Renewed Nuclear Strategy Policy

June 7, 2020

Dear CCI Followers,

Today I received Russia’s Renewed Nuclear Strategy by President Putin. It came from Dr. Vladimir Kozin, noted member of the Russian Academy of Military Sciences and renowned author of books on nuclear issues. Vladimir Kozin meets with CCI’s American travelers annually when we are in Moscow.

This June 2, 2020 special report is a warning to President Trump, U.S. policy makers and other world leaders. Dr. Kozin wants to ensure that as many Americans as possible understand Russia’s definitive strategy. Let’s hope and pray that conditions never materialize for its implementation.

Our policy advisors should know by now that President Putin, Russian leadership and the Russian people don’t intend to be the recipients of disaster without an immediate and all-out response.

Sleep Walking Toward No Treaties for Nuclear Weapons!

June 5, 2020

Dear CCI Friends,

The following article by Fred Weir, Christian Science Monitor journalist for decades, warns us of the dangerous situation we are in with regard to nuclear arms control or lack thereof.

Why is it that most Americans have little to no concern about this issue? It is astounding to me!

TRAGIC FOLLY OF BLAME

May 30, 2020

Dear CCI Followers,

Krishen Mehta and I have been discussing the tragic dimensions of current U.S. policy.

We have been shocked that China, our chief trading partner, is being blamed for the COVID-19 outbreak and its “cover-up” while they were trying to get the virus under control. Wouldn’t we have done the same? We are also deeply concerned by allegations regarding China and other countries that are mild given our record of foreign interventions over the past decades.

The current psychological projection being used to create China as our enemy is even of greater concern since they too have nuclear weapons!

Please study the “Tragic Folly of Blame” and send to your friends and families.
