    BUSH LEGACY AND U.S. PRESIDENCY

    Analysts continue to review the qualities of the Bush legacy in
    office especially now that his second term is ending.  My opinion
    on this matter and the current stand off to replace him remains
    as is and at once somewhat outstanding.  Certainly George Bush
    Jr. is recognized for radically increasing the deficit and debt of
    the U.S., showing signs of insensitivity to persons suffering from
    natural disasters, placing U.S. global stature at great risk because
    of risky world interventions in Iraq  based on questionable information
    and in turn - questionable legal authority and alliances, placing too
    many American lives at risk with others due to an insufficient regard
    for due process, the laws of war and occupation and the protection of
    the innocent, and, mismanaging the economy and the regulation of
    financial institutions including lending practices and unique corporate
    governance considerations.  Also, Bush and Rumsfeld have mismanaged
    the President's Office and placed at risk NORAD or the good management
    of North American airspace and the civil rights complex that properly
    attaches to it.  These are weighty issues and the extent of the harms
    shall be under examination for some time.  There were and are a
    number of ways to handle global networks of terror, and, the oppression
    and violence levied against women and other vulnerable persons in many
    parts of the world.  Each life must be assessed as dignified at law including
    a soldier's life and such as the thousands of soldiers who have been killed
    in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    RECENT PRESS RELEASE - ALL IS FINE

    A Press Release was recently issued by BWI to announce
    the release of Tennis Turbulence - another passage, and,
    also, to provide comfort that all is well in light of certain
    attempts to tarnish or reduce my reputaton and character.
    The Press Release included a quote by me saying that these
    incidence of certain celebrity are not uncommon, yet I publicly
    commented to ensure concerned persons from around the
    world that all the negative stuff is simply insignificant, trashy
    and not deserving of any substantive weight.  My character
    and commitment to the beautiful and virtuous norms of living
    this life and conducting our affairs remain solid, empathetic
    and committed to good justice.  When one is strongly committed
    to truth, beauty, equality and justice, one is sometimes presented
    with the great beauty of the souls and minds - yet also confronted
    by those who would attack and attempt to scar because their
    hands are dirty and therefore they are vulnerable and become
    desparate to quash movements and thoughts which may and
    will reveal the extent of their wrongs, their misdeeds and their
    corruption.

    WIKIPEDIA AS 'HOAX' AND 'VANDALS', AND WATCH GROUP ACKNOWLEDGED

    In my ongoing work at BWI I discovered another watch group of
    interest known as Wikipedia Watch.  This encyclopedia maker has
    abused the public and some members discussed within it, therefore
    this group has been created to oversee its work.  I will be reviewing
    its watch work as Chair of Beacon Watch International (BWI) over the
    next few months.  At this time, I would like to acknowledge the good
    works of Democracy Watch.  As well, I should mention that I discovered
    Wikipedia Watch while investigating some of their perverse actions in
    connection with my name and profile.  They have at once included me
    in a number of their notable lists of persons, and then suggested that another
    submission constituted an act of vandalism; I have reviewed the piece
    submitted - setting out a number of my notable accomplishments - and
    remain bewildered.  The only conclusion available is that the editors
    handling this particular submission are incompetent at fact checking. 
    The only error in the piece was a media mention of me as a "legal
    wunderkind" in Law Times when such declaration was made in Lawyer's
    Weekly which is a more reputable substantive publication.  Sadly, they
    have vandalized my name in allowing this inadequate group of editors
    to make public their thoughts - certainly not findings of any credible kind,
    which constitutes evidence of weak and sloppy intellectual work.  They got
    it right when they included me in four of their notable persons lists but
    obviously do not have the talent to be consistent with the other submission,
    as discussed above.  Their language is perverse and attracts senses that
    someone there is involved in foul play.  I will try to help them comprehend
    the field of the law sciences and activism, as defined by me in this century,
    so that they might correct this significant error.  As well, I will have to consider
    a defamation suit since a number of prospective Beacon Letters advertisers
    alerted me to this negative posting yet the damage to BWI could be more
    widespread.  As a result, millions of dollars in revenue for BWI's good humanitarian
    works might have been significantly jeopardhized by their childish, inconsistent,
    reckless and possibly malevolent error. 
     
    ... I am in the midst of a review of Wikipedia Watch and Wikipedia - its public
    documents, practices, media disclosures have come under my direct and close
    scrutiny, not only for the benefit of my own case but for the students and
    clients of The Beacon Institute For Advanced Studies (BIAS) over which I
    preside as Founding President and Distinguished Professor of Law, Politics
    and Metaphysics.

    LAW SOCIETY OF UPPER CANADA AS DISREPUTABLE

    I will soon release a piece on the disreputable practices of The
    Law Society of Upper Canada, as currently evidenced and as
    understood for some time by members of the Bar.  I have long
    objected to certain of their loose Benchers and administrators
    yet certain recently discovered practices are simply unconscionable
    and terribly bad for the public.  At issue is not only gross incompetence
    but malevolent and grossly mischiefous practices carried out by a
    group of the regulator's personnel and governors in ways that
    unconscionably violate contemporary terms of Law Society
    governance.  As well, willing members of the Bar and others
    have become willing and somewhat unsuspecting agents and
    tools or instruments of the wrongs being perpetrated.
     
    I will release this piece under all my authority as world
    leading jurisprudential mind and as one of the most distinguished
    members of the Bar and servants of the Bench of Justice.
     
    It will not be a happy outcome for less than bright 'good 'ol boys
    and gals' - it will be a sad and tragically predictable day of
    judgment for this lot.  With power comes responsiblity and,
    responsibility demands exceptional judgment and diligence.

    FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND SECURITIES REGULATION

    Many of you know that I have published a number of leading texts in the
    area of economic regulation - this is part of my Queen's Annual Business
    Law Symposium Series (1994-1996, Carswell).  As anticipated, these texts have
    remained and have become remarkably relevant as the nations and peoples
    of the world adjust to the banking crisis in the United States.  My third text
    in this series focuses upon the regulation of financial institutions like banks
    and trust companies.  Readers should note that I established the topics
    and selected the contributors for this book and event based on a review
    of Canadian and American circumstances as revealed in government
    documents and other sources.  Therefore, much like the first edition focused
    upon the regulation of public markets for stocks and bonds, I was the final
    authority and arbiter as to which issues would be addressed and by whom
    and set my historic standard of diligence.  Both these texts are currently
    very relevant, as is the 1995 edition which illucidates how corporate
    restructurings and insolvencies must be conducted with fairness principles
    serving a paramount function - in this text I also prepared a nice piece
    on functionalism in corporate governance (one which I co-authored with
    Stanley Hartt of Reichmann International fame, and one which reflects
    the remark I made in editing Senator Trevor Eyton's piece that, the
    sociological circumstances of governance must be taken into account).
     
    This note is made to all my readers and afficionados including members of
    the financial and economic and diplomatic communities struggling
    to comprehend the issues and solutions and systems, at play and at work. 
    Sound regulatory apparatuses are necessary to protect and encourage
    efficient and effective growth and progress in any socio-political-economic
    society driven by innovation and justice.

    DION AND LIBERALS UNFIT TO GOVERN - CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS LIKE HARPER

    In order to clarify the record, in part revealed in this month's blog entries
    including Favourite NewsBites for October 2008 .. :  I am not able to support,
    in good conscience or good faith, either the Harper government and the
    Conservative Party or the Dion candidacy and the Liberal Party of Canada.
    This is based on my positions as a constitutionalist and inquiries conducted
    by me during the last few months and years.  These individuals and parties
    are unable and unwilling to cure certain constitutional problems which
    have arisen due to bias, gross self interest and subject records which make
    them unfit to govern and wield the powers of the Prime Minister's Office
    and the Federal Cabinet.   This is a disconcerting circumstance yet it is
    very real and each and every stakeholder in the Canadian government and
    constitutional system must assume a sound position.  This includes voters
    who must exercise their votes to protect and preserve the Constitution
    which includes vital and longstanding guaranteed rights of conscience and
    expression and over the sovereign body of each person.  These are elements
    of the dignity promise of the social contract of Canada, and each person
    with an interest in this legacy and these important norms must see their
    weightiness and correct the errors of politicians Dion and Harper and their
    parties - the Conservatives and the Liberals.  Once again, I do not support
    S. Dion or the Liberal Party of Canada, despite and in light of past associations
    of different kinds.  This matches my assertion that Harper is a 'constitutional con' -
    unable to lead a country bound by historic and present constitutional values
    which preserve each individual and the important public institutions which
    serve this function.  Harper and the Governor General should be removed
    from their Offices.

    FAVOURITE NEWSBITES - OCTOBER 2008 (Beacon NewsWatch Service)

    HARPER AND DION PERFORM POORLY IN CANADA'S FEDERAL
    LEADERSHIP DEBATES in both English and French with Harper
    appearing stiff, and badly prepared and Dion appearing somewhat
    desparate and incapable of handling difficult budget questions -
    HARPER REVEALS HIS INADEQUACIES IN FEDERAL LEADERSHIP
    DEBATES by avoiding difficult questions and freezing up at odd
    times - RESPECTED INTERNATIONAL JURIST AND ARTIST
    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS COMMENTS on the Canadian
    Federal Election by stating:  "I cannot, in good faith, support
    the Harper government or the Liberal Party of Canada, despite
    past associations of different kinds, since they have unequivocally
    failed 'peace, order and good governance tests' duly and conservatively
    set and administered by me, and the record of history shall not lie.
    The proper interpretation of Machiavelli is that the Prince, or those
    in public power, must adopt means that are humanistally sound and
    sustainable over the short and long term.  This matches current
    constitutional tests to determine whether public powers like govern-
    ments and all constitutional pillars and administrators have duly left
    unharmed and unrestrained fundamental guarantees upon freedom
    such as association and conscience.  As you know, I speak as super
    expert and as someone currently prosecuting the Law Society of
    Upper Canada and Canadian Bar Association for conduct unbecoming
    and otherwise in violation of a number of legal norms.  This is mentioned
    to make clear the scope of my expertise and status as leading member
    of the international bar and scientific community.  Therefore, it is not
    merely governments, courts, professionals and scientists who come
    under my review as member of the international Who's Who, but also
    regulatory bodies properly characterized as branches of the leviathan
    of state, and, poorly administered scientific and quasi-scientific bodies
    such as encyclopedia makers with awesome powers to defame yet to
    be contained by the law of defamation and other legal avenues of
    redress.  Harper should not be re-elected and the Chief Justice of the
    Supreme Court should be forced to resign as part of a constitutional
    restoration effort with positive economic and fiscal consequences in
    the short and long term.  Liberal Leader Dion is unable and unwilling
    to restore matters and cannot be relied upon." - LAW SOCIETY OF
    UPPER CANADA AND CANADIAN BAR ASSOCIATION come under
    increased review by BWI and Chairman Tannis due to odd, reckless
    and disconcerting conduct for justice institutions including misinforming
    and negligently misdirecting members of the public and the Bars of
    Ontario and elsewhere - 'WIKIPEDIA WATCH' NOTED BY BWI and
    is currently being reviewed to determine its mandate based on gross
    errors and abusive practices of this online provider of encyclopedic
    information: "I sadly discovered this group when a potential Advertising
    Patron for The Beacon Letters told me that Wikipedia suggested my work
    and legacy constituted a 'hoax' based on a soundly prepared submission
    for entry which I have reviewed and find remarkably accurate except for
    the slight error that I was named a "law wunderkind" by Lawyer's Weekly
    and not Law Times which is actually a compliment since the former
    publication is more respected for its substance than the latter.
    Well I reviewed the matter and noted, among other things or matters,
    that a number of their poorly trained editors had actually used such
    language yet had included me in a number of their notable persons
    lists.  This did not make any sense.  Sadly, their conduct suggests
    gross mischief, possibly due to political and commercial alliances,
    and I will have to consider suing them for gross and perverse
    defamation.  My positions on certain corrupt governments and
    corporations and individuals remain sound." - HARPER, DION,
    LAYTON PROVE THEY HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR CANADIAN
    PUBLIC with recent federal election fiasco costing Canada millions
    of dollars while claims against Canada mount for criminal and civil
    wrongs with no mention of such economically devastating eventuality -
    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS TO MEET WITH AMBASSADORS AND
    HEADS OF STATE to resolve NORAD airspace crisis and associated
    human rights and criminal law crisis: "The present front line political
    leaders of Canada have essentially admitted defeat - the 'true north
    tall and free' statement by Harper last night crystallizes the sentencing
    consequence that is inevitable in light of necessary embargoes and other
    remedies to establish the necessary sentencing deterrents.  It is a sad
    reflection on the perversion of a constitutional record by a political and
    commercial leadership that has dragged its citizens down with them.
    This makes the public function of the litigation outputs even more
    critical in keeping with a sound prosecution of the 'chain of command'
    so to speak and literally.  Noble and prudent members of the Canadian
    and other states are encouraged to join me, BWI in the corrective measures
    course that I have designed to cure the gross ailment and to pave a
    better course for this century and beyond.  This is a case to not only
    address the sorrow inflicted but to minimize sorrow, in keeping with the
    UN Charter, during this lifetime and others.  All interested persons should
    contact the WINSTON GEORGE GOVERNANCE ADVISORY AND
    FOUNDATION (Global) and BWI in Ottawa, Canada where I am currently
    setting up a move to a global headquarters to launch another phase
    of the HRI affairs of these groups.  The participation of BWI volunteers and
    paid staffers, including lawyers and auditors and forensics specialists, will
    add to the public worth estates of each person involved - this is the nature
    of history and the legacy building efforts of each responsible citizen of the
    world.  One of my predecessors in the history of thought properly said that
    a good civilization goes to hell when good people do nothing - this statement
    remains very 'relevant' today.  In turn, these good people may become bad
    people by acts of omission, by operation of laws and other relevant norms."
    (Winston George Tannis after the October 14, 2008 federal election speeches)
    - HARPER GOVERNMENT CONTINUED AS A MINORITY with poor showing
    at polls by both Harper and Dion: "This election has constituted a tragic comedy
    of a constitutional kind - something which shall become clearer with the near
    passage of time.  I feel badly for both the Canadian public and the world at
    large in light of certain mythologies of good and advanced governance.   There
    is much, much work to be done to elevate the standards of governance of the
    world at this time because of the subject tragedy - from beyond 'mob rule' within
    and outside the U.N. towards a truly correct global governance paradigm we must
    proceed.  This is one of the mandates of BWI and the WINSTON GEORGE
    GOVERNANCE ADVISORY AND FOUNDATION (Global) and it is one we shall
    work vigorously towards.  Genius may be both a gift and a burden yet it must
    rendered an obligation in certain civic circumstances ... to members of the public
    I advise that, you should be the kind of person you would wish the world to be and
    that will be a critical step towards its realization."  Winston George Tannis, Chair
