    GOMERY-CHRETIEN-FEDERAL COURT SHAM?

    Was the Gomery Inquiry a very costly 'sham'?  It was
    obvious, some time ago, that Justice Gomery made
    some questionable justicious statements to media
    during the inquiry.  However, did this former Liberal
    Party member subvert the process itself to deprive
    Canadians of good governance?

    A BID FOR THE PRIME MINISTERSHIP

    I am often asked if I shall run for politics and seek out the Prime
    Ministership of Canada, or whether I might accept a judicial
    appointment.  This is done in light of my work of the last twenty
    plus years as a learned analyst, commentator, private and public
    and third sector leader and contributor.  Of course, serving as
    Founding Chair and Secretary General of BWI for the last ten
    plus years, and Contributing Editor-in-Chief of The Beacon
    Letters / Les Lettres du Balise may have stirred this speculation
    and forms of encouragement and compliment.  Yet I remain
    committed to serving the international and global community
    as learned spiritualist and multi-disciplinary jurist, through
    which I have found much satisfaction and, of course, some
    sorrow as I seek to rectify wrongs such as violence against
    women, gross breaches by intelligence and government bodies
    of individual privacy and dignity, mismanagement of the
    economy by operation of bad doctrines, continuing warfare
    between Palestinian and Jewish peoples and other actors in
    the Middle East, violations of professional standards of conduct
    by pharmacists and lawyers and accountants and other
    professionally regulated advisors, ... This is not to say I
    would not adopt a political position in an emergency crisis
    requiring a competent and committed hand and mind - this
    is a matter I deem an obligation at law and morality and
    ethics, in the circumstances.  As we continue to work
    together, we shall ensure that our governments and courts
    and other institutions remain honest and accountable; if they
    insist on failing to rise to the right occassion, we shall be
    ready to engage the principle of substitutability as a
    diligent check ready to continue the good governance
    mandate.  We shall never say never because that would
    constitute an abdication of responsibility, and the governments
    of the world are already too fragile and corrupt for such
    constitutional negligence to unfold.  We are indeed the
    world and we are indeed the people.  The Nouveau
    Internationalism which I speak about and define as a
    moral movement to make the world a more secure and
    properly just place, shall prevail because our wills
    wills shall fuse or merge to form the great force of reason,
    heart, integrity, laws and dignity which is still needed and
    compels our attention and best intentions."

    PEACE AMONG PALESTINIAN AND JEWS THIS YEAR

    Peace among Palestinians and Jews by the end of this year is the
    deadline and goal which I set out in some writings earlier this year.
    In more recent writings, my position has not changed and it will
    not change.  A two-state solution is acceptable to me and is being
    encouraged by me with negotiations to take place exclusively
    between Palestinians and Jews.  This means that the Americans,
    British, French, Russians, Chinese, Saudis, Egyptians, Iranians,
    Syrians, Japanese, Turks, Canadians, Germans, ... 
    ... are not welcomed to particpate, or facilitate, in the the peace
    process which I am compelling the young and older to accept as
    reasonable, just, intelligent and respectful of these two great
    and dignified and spiritual and humane peoples of remarkable
    intelligence, insight and civility. 
     
    This peace will be grounded in the present, and the past, and the
    future.  It will find its greatest hope and substance in the hearts
    and minds of Palestinians and Jews - the people who are the key
    to the process and who will direct their negotiators to proceed
    to closure as an offering to themselves and the world, and within
    the spirit of God's gracious will and understanding and hope for
    the prosperity of the soul.  This is the ultimate mission of all
    laws - part of its purposive will which helps to bring to an end
    cycles of juridical and economic posturing which sacrifice too
    much at too great an expense, often and sadly. and make a
    mockery of laws.  The greatest triumph is in peace at this time
    and the time is correct for peace between Palestinians and
    Jews - it shall be the century of Jews and Palestinians to define
    as peaceful partners
    in a newly configured world order. 
     
    The Palestinians and Jews and their true friends shall emerge as
    part of the enlightened forces of the 21st century, in the hearts,
    minds and eyes of all those from around the world who can
    feel the deep blessing and power of Allah's will - the Creator
    of things important and eternal.
     
    Steps towards this good set of ends have already been
    taken in accordance with my firm positions on matters and
    I am strong in mind, heart and soul, and look forward to
    the sobering yet happy celebrations involving the 'walking
    with the winds' of the flags of both Palestine and Israel.
     
    For those wishing a copy of the Peace Framework which I
    have prepared with companion pieces, you may contact
    BWI for a copy at either beaconwatchintl@yahoo.com or
     
    More blog postings at this site will take place on a regular
    basis.  Diplomats, analysts, peacemakers and activists,

    CONRAD BLACK AND ROBERT MUGABE IN THE NEWS

    Over the next few weeks, I shall comment on the 'quiet return' of the Black case
    to the media spectrum, and, the ongoing coverage of Robert Mugabe's case
    versus the global political and juridical establishment including the British
    led Commonwealth.
     
    Conrad Black may be innocent of criminal wrongdoing yet the whirlwind
    remains less frenzied on this matter.  My media colleague Jonas has finally
    published a piece taking seriously my juridical tips of some months ago.
    Conrad Black may be a spoiled child of the Toronto establishment who
    was afforded 'second chances' unavailable to persons of lesser means -
    intellectual, financial, professional, etc... yet this is only relevant at a
    sentencing hearing post proper conviction.  It is the strength of the
    conviction which is now being revisited by what appears to be a slightly
    impartial Bench, in part led by Judge Posner who attempts to be philosophical
    respecting the law, from time to time, and has been graded by me in this
    noble effort.  Some additional poignant comments with more to follow for
    the media, financial, economic, political and other communities:  (1) Black
    is a trained legal mind and CEO who must conduct business in a competitive
    manner to please his shareholders;  (2) Test cases in the civil sphere must
    be distinguished from criminal test cases which compel legally trained minds
    to protect the interests of the corporation, the shareholders, the executives
    and others;  (3) Hard working and competent senior executives working with
    an unusually competent CEO and news proprietor usually deserve good
    compensation during cyclical downturns which draw them to work harder
    as an efficient unit on behalf of shareholders; (4) CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
    trends and sentiments must be managed by a contemporary and skilled CEO
    as a legally and otherwise sensitive market and political phenomenon ... ; (5)
    Intelligent men working with intelligent men are like a good hockey team working
    more effectively and efficiently in accordance with the terms of the game, with
    the media industry constituting a unique industrial-constitutional complex
    (for example, the following Hockey Dynasties are noteworthy: the Oilers,
    the Islanders, the Habs, ... of their respective great eras) - this is a cost
    management and significant ethics sensitive issue; (6) Canadian law firms
    like Canadians versus Americans, generally, are usually lesser performers - 
    not as smart or intelligent with an underbelly of misguided and debilitating
    envy towards things American like an extreme excellence ethic - this is why
    their outputs are lesser in number and quality and why they are less bond-
    worthy when wielding a scalpel; (7) CEO GOVERNANCE requires management
    over all the parts of corporate life, e.g., human resources, finance, tax, legal,
    government relations, public relations, etc ..., with a sense of reasonable and
    intelligent delegation and remarkable 'hands on' for certain matters of critical
    quality; (8) It is relevant to examine comparative data within and outside the
    newspaper industry, within and below the executive classes, when reviewing
    the criminanlity, legal and constitutional equity and justice components of the
    case; (9) Both Barbara Amiel Black and Conrad Black committed their adult
    lives to media analysis and stewardship with a view to reviewing and checking
    the work of other institutions via media, using their best and commercial efforts
     ...
    [more to come - you might
    check in daily]
     
    Robert Mugabe is a trained lawyer, familiar with common law justice
    with an obligation to dispense justice on behalf of his people in keeping
    with traditional domestic and international sentencing norms.  An enemy
    combattant at law may include foreign agents attempting to commit
    acts of subvervion against the state's legitimate interests.  A skilled political
    scientist and economist is concerned with many macroeconomic variables
    including the quality of cultural, political and other kinds of freedom made
    available and protected under the existing governance arrangement. 
    These qualities of life are often best managed by someone astute in not
    only law but political economy, as well as global finance and the ways of
    the G7 or the western industrialized liberal democratic nations as pedagogic
    and other kinds of empires.  The new Lincoln may look good but does it afford
    the desert nomad his reflections; the new pipeline may provide some promise
    but does it permit the village the same communal joys.
