We will have in Athens the 2nd Conference of DD E-V (Direct
Democratic Euro-Vision together with a Coongress of the German
Omnibus for Direct Democracy ( Oct 2- 4, 2009) and we wish to have read
it.
I personally want to refer to it in my speech!
Therefore please send it to me soon and I' ll pay the cost!
Please think or send me your ideas about a programme of a big
Congress of WDDM next June in Athens for the celebration of the ten
years of Worldwide Direct Democracy Movement establishment here! It's
good to be based in the recent developments of Direct Democracy,
probably written already in your book!
We try to establish now in Greece an Alternative Direct
Democratic Parliament of the People, monitoring our Oligarchies!!
Best regards !!
Your greek friend and ally!

Hi Jiri:
Just read your post on the definition of democracy. You're gonna LOVE
how I handle this in The Last, Lost Empire. Have you received the print
version and CD yet? If not, send me the address...plus your telephone
number and I'll forward it to my publisher and prod him. My bet is that
it was sent and should arrive soon. But you will see how exactly in
synch you and I are. I call "Representative Democracy" an
oxymoron....no matter what kind...since it is just a variation on
"Elected Oligarchy." I call national referendums the only true form of
"indirect democracy." And we both agree on what real democracy is. It
is, no more, no less, than what Abraham Lincoln so eloquently stated: "a
government of the people, by the people, and for the people." And that
means that among other things: THEY MAKE THE FINAL DECISIONS...and do
not DELEGATE that power.
Stay involved in our pursuit and you'll be forever young until your
time on this wretched planet is up.
