    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS TO THE SOCIAL SCIENTISTS, ARTS FOLK

    There is much work to do this century, for skilled social scientists
    and so the challenges are up.  The same applies to skilled and
    thoughtful artists or arts scholars.  The social, political, business,
    legal and other communities are ripe ... for those interested in

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON FEMINISM GONE WRONG

    I have been a long time supporter of women seeking to enhance
    their options in North America, and other parts of the world, within
    dignified dialogues.  As well, I have been very clear in condemning
    violence against women, especially in Canada with its perverse,
    grotesque and severe qualities which offend Canadian
    constitutionalism.  Women and men must treat each other with
    dignity and an absence of physical and mental violence in
    domestic and other settings.  That is the way of goodness,
    reason, logic, fairness, intelligence and God.
     
    Certain members of North American feminism are violating
    and delaying these developments through illegitimate,
    illegal, grossly aggressive, abusive tactics, and I will not
    support such fraudulent and conniving actions against
    myself or any persons - women or men.  We live in transitional
    times, and both 'real' or traditional women deserve regard
    as do traditional and liberal men.  The feminist movement
    is degraded when certain of its members use gross tactics
    to advance their aims - the record of history is sophisticated
    and acts of connivance, fraud, defamation, misrepresentation,
    physical violence, abuse of process, malicious prosecution ...
    by women outside or inside family units ... undermine
    credibility, as it should be and must be for the advancement
    of civilisation, with significant compensatory consequences.
     
    Shame on the violators, the abusers ... you know who you
    are (a matter to become more public) and let us hope
    proper advances continue to be made in keeping with the 
    winds of good justice and dignity.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON AL-AMMARI'S BEWILDERING DECISION

    Saud Al-Ammari of Saudi Aramco has made a
    bewildering decision to work with Blake Cassels
    in the Arab peninsula with the Kingdom having made
    some similarly odd decisions, such as retaining
    Stikeman, Elliott to perform some of its major
    commercial real estate work, in Canada. 
     
    This seems to fall into a pattern of poor decisions
    made between or among or amidst numerous
    Peninsula players and Canadian operators - as if
    the Bedouin tribal traditions had lost site of the
    need to endure the heat and execute the raid with
    great diligence for Islamic integrity and all
    families.  With his background, Saud might have
    even qualified to meet with me, rather than
    accepting a 15 minute appointment with a second
    tier operation, and shaming Islam which supports
    sharp mindedness in the creation of good Islamic
    commercial practices which avoid the pitfalls of
    Husein's precedent on the Holy coast and that
    of others.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON SONIA SOTOMAYOR JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT

    Sonia's temperament may not be perfectly suited for an
    appointment at the level of the Supreme Court, including
    her obviously ill-tuned and off-minded arrogance regarding
    the judge's role in interpreting laws, however, perhaps
    worse decisions have been made.  Her error is commonly
    made by legal scholars, and, practicing lawyers and
    judges, as compounded by T.V. and film portrayals,
    and with an underdeveloped sense of the judge's role
    versus that of a legislature.  Many of them are the subjects
    of underdeveloped jurisprudential education and thinking -
    a matter which I have reviewed and which flows from
    within the United States at places like Harvard Law
    School, Princeton and other places. 
     
    It is the kind of, a form of, a somewhat usual
    unsophisticated male and female 'machismo' that has
    gone unchecked for some time, with the excessive
    politicization of academe, the Bench and the Bar,
    and - most significantly - poor legal scholarship and
    science and professional development.  With this
    said, her personal story and journey must be weighed
    seriously and substantively, for if a privileged Kennedy
    may make such comments as part of an Americana
    dialogue, then so might a child of the off-white ghetto,
    with her love of emancipating access to education and
    the ecstasies which flow from such like William Clinton
    improperly emulating his political theory professors
    at a Democratic Convention and as speaker, or Kim
    Campbell defending Milton Friedman and the
    monetarists in the midst of a federal election campaign
    in Canada, in the face of economic and fiscal worries.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS DIRECTS OBAMA

    I have recently sent Obama of the United States a clear note
    and constitutional opinion, with implications for both him and
    Harper of Canada and NORAD.  This is not the first time, yet in new
    terms, I have made it clear that the law properly contemplates
    the available responses in the face of gross violations of civil
    and constitutional norms and traditions, and against elected and
    non-elected officials and all persons acting as agents of crime.
    Jurisprudence and history and civilisation are real, and I shall
    wield all correct forces to discipline the state actors and their
    agents into proper constitutional and acceptable form.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON DEATH OF WALTER CRONKITE (1916-2009)

    Walter Cronkite has died after serving as news anchor for
    CBS Evening News (1962-1981) and leaving a record that
    many in the news and politics field find newsworthy and
    admirable.  A news person must be dedicated to his work
    and the idea of judgment, especially when involved in
    mass media.  This person must be talented in a number of
    ways, and perhaps unusually perceptive. 
     
    Many think Cronkite represented these values in such a way
    that he must be unusually celebrated - his bond with
    Americans was unusual and substantial and decorated by
    the values of a fiduciary, or someone who could be
    trusted.  Certainly I value these traditions and wish him
    peace in the heavens after a long life, and perhaps one
    that was managed quite smartly and in devout fashion.
    His deep and tempo rich voice will sound in the record
    for some time.

    So this month, I celebrate the passing of another year of my life,
    on one line of time.  On July 19, a year will have passed and
    I will welcome the wishes of friends, and fans, and afficionados ...
    A day to celebrate my life, and yours, as if each day and each
    person must be celebrated to know the joy of this life.  My e-mail

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON MONTREAL FRAUDSTER EARL JONES

    As many of you know, I dedidate a good part of my life to fighting
    crime and civil wrongs, in defence of my globally recognized
    senses on human rights.  My artistic life is even further bolstered
    or enshrined by such.
     
    This involves monitoring the corporate sector, where I am known
    as a ruthless yet fair defender of the Canadian and U.S. economic
    systems through responsible management.  Recently,
    Canada has been further disgraced by the financial scandal
    surrounding Montreal based, unregistered advisor, Earl Jones,
    accused of duping many vulnerable investors of their 'live savings'.
     
    This is part of the current and tragic legal demise of Canada as
    a well governed state on the verge of international prosecution
    in keeping with domestic and international laws.
     
    This is not an absolute'caveat emptor '- or to 'each their own' - society or
    economy, and so I am very happy to see the investigation underway. 
    Keep in mind that when I play 'trust buster' in the broad corruption
    sense, I do not do it merely from the outskirts or the fringes, but
    as someone who, at one time, fully graced the halls of big business
    and big finance as part of my full time professional life.  I speak from
    the conventions as well as detached from them, in the objective
    senses.
     
    There is good and bad business judgment, this is why the fair law has
    devised the difficult but necessary business judgment rule.  My
    views on flexible corporate governance should not be viewed as
    permissive, but responsible and drawing out responsible
    leadership.  For those interested in my seminars and advisory
    services on such matters, and some of the corporate retreats
    which I may continue leading as good getaways, my current
    Ottawa headquarters may be contacted at 613-233-9745.  My
    lecture on the elements of corporate responsibility and leadership
    is one of my favourites, and, if you are in the businss sector, it should
    be one of yours also and as well.  Places where I'd happily
    meet you to discuss such matters include: The Chateau Laurier
    in Ottawa, Canada, and, The Inn at Manitou in Parry Sound,
    Ontario, north of Toronto, and, the Conference Centres in Monaco,
    and Beirut and Byblos, Lebanon, with proper security and privacy
    arranged on Honorarium terms.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY

    I have been working on my autobiography for the last several
    years in light of the fascination with aspects of my life - both
    human and spiritual, and, intellectual and artistic.  I am not
    rushing to the press, but I think the first volume shall be finished
    in the next few years, if not sooner.  I will discuss and describe
    parts of my journey through a variety of endeavours, while setting
    out certain of the life principles which I have found successful
    and enriching.  Obviously, I will comment on a number of
    glamorous elements, such as my interactions, professional and
    other affairs, appreciation for and lack of high regard for,  and
    relationships with members of the literati, gliterati, the high
    finance communities, and high politics communities, intelligentsia,
    and a variety of monarchies as man, tennis pro, advisor, artist and
    leadership personality within the private, public and third sectors.
    Also, I will make comments on judges, diplomats and politicians
    whom I know  in a number of manners.  Lastly, I will get the final say
    on a series of perverse scandals that have been fabricated against
    my works and legacy.  No doubt this will include a mini discourse on
    my theories on love, intimacy, abuses of power, wealth as a potential
    source of evil, fame, happiness, the law of defamation, dirty and dumb
    judges and lawyers and scholars, who is competent to wield power in
    our society, good and bad artistry, effective versus grossly manipulative
    artistry and literary works, the possibilities for bliss ...

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON SHANNON TWEED REJECTION

    The City of Ottawa has rejected the making of Shannon Tweed
    day upon her return with rocker husband Gene.  This has been
    a controversial issue to which I can only say:  I met Shannon
    as a young boy long before becoming an artist - she was simply
    a beauty  queen and model at the time, and remarkably tall.
    Also, she was a pleasant hostess of a restaurant named after her,
    where I was celebrating a family event.  Her work as a Playboy
    model had not begun, nor was her movie career in full swing ...
    a pretty face, with a long body, and pleasant smile with a high
    fashion sense of grace.  That is the picture and that is all I have
    to say on the matter at this time.  The rest may be included in
    my upcoming auto- and biographical works.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON ERRORS OF MONARCH ELIZABETH OF BRITAIN

    Elizabeth and her husband Phillip, Monarchs of Great Britain, are
    making a grievous error in scheduling a visit to Canada next year,
    in light of the terrorist acts being committed by the Canadian
    government against its own people, and which she is well aware of
    and as conscious agent of the Magna Carta's fundamental gists
    in keeping with Acton's concerns.  This lack of judgment explains
    why France recently insulted the Windsors and why China and the
    Pope have recently insulted Harper with protocols suggesting
    comprehension of the wrongs and the need for constitutional
    restoration, for the citizens of Canada.  'By land, by sea, by air'
    and in peace with such spirit and analogy guiding the way, we must
    restore Canada with all proper remedies, for the stability of the
    Constitution and the expectations which flow with a constitution.
    We cannot be sure what Canada will look like once this juridical
    approach is completed, yet we will know that we have respected
    a will, a people, a sense of right and wrong, a sense of justice
    and harmony that is authoritative, dignified, applicable.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS NOT A TERRORIST

    It is, of course, a perversion of the peace process to refer to someone of my
    judicial stripe as a 'terrorist' for simply adopting the position of an impartial
    jurisprudentialist in examining and commenting upon the peace prospects
    between Israelis and Palestinians, with all its complexities. It is the obligation
    of a jurist of my kind to hear out and examine the submissions of all
    disputants when attempting to dispense justice, in light of all the arguments
    and positions.  This has been my position since the 1980s when I was awarded
    a Gold Medal in due measure as a result of a dissertation I prepared with
    a series of papers on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the civil crisis in Lebanon,
    with a view to peace, harmony and stabilization to reduce the sorrow of lives lost. 
    All claims to the contrary are simply fraudulent and grossly polemical or manipulative
    in the extreme, and should be disregarded as nonsense.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON COMPLETE DISUNION FROM CATHOLIC POPE

    POPE RECEIVES HARPER AND IS BANNED FROM ACCESS TO
    DIVINE PROPHET WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS of this Age and for
    all Ages, who comments:  "Benedict is aware of the illegal torture
    and intimidation and harassment and acts of inhumanity, which I
    am facing and enduring in Canada, at this time and for some time
    now, and by operation of the Canadian government and its agents,
    at criminal law and including many regular citizens. 
     
    His knowledge of my authentic status as Divine Prophet of God for
    this Age and all Ages, places him very poorly in God's eyes in light
    of the wrong in meeting with the current Canadian Prime Minister,
    who is permitting such illegitimacy despite his clear constitutional
    obligations, and significantly because although I am not interested
    in assuming the Prime Ministership he is threatened, since I am far
    better qualified to direct the obligations and powers of the said
    Office and state. 
     
    Benedict should have known better than to meet with Harper, as members
    of his Church should know better.  This disunion from God does not speak
    well for the Roman Catholic Church.  Followers of this Church are
    encouraged to leave it and quickly, and find another spiritual forum
    through which to relate to God, for I am his Divine Prophet and I know best
    in light of his will through me.  God has made his wishes clear - you are to
    properly adhere to his basic commands as revealed through me; this is not
    a happy announcement, but I sensed it might come about.  If you wish to
    know and live according to God's will, you must also oppose the current
    Canadian political leadership.  They have been warned of this disunion
    with God - that is, Harper, Ignatieff, Layton, May ... have all been given
    graceful notice, and they and many of their caucus members have failed. 
    Protect yourselves legally and otherwise and significantly, from this group -
    in protecting yourselves, you will be protecting the best element of the
    Canadian Constitution and the U.N. Charter, which I am remain in support
    of, on my interpretations, and in God's favour."

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON HIS PRIME MINISTERSHIP

    A formal Press Release recently made clear that I would not seek
    out the Prime Ministership at this time, and despite the crisis that
    looms in government.  In fact, it is because of this crisis in Canadian
    governance that I have chosen to cure the problems from without,
    as not only Barrister but Prophet.  There are some who will be
    disapointed by this decision, yet it must be understood that I
    know that the PMO is under such seize at present, that an external
    form of constitutional actions is required.  In other terms, I am better
    able to correct the breakdowns from without in light of how the non-
    elected and elected government officials have mobilized to
    protect their self-interests and not that of the people of Canada,
    who rightfully expect an accountable, constitutionallly sound
    government in its service.  This is a case of gross and seamless
    corruption and corrupting influences, and as political and juridical
    scientist I know my assuming the Prime Ministership would be less
    effective than mobilizing externally,  When circumstances in this
    regard change, then I will assume the Prime Ministership while
    wielding the powers of a Canadian Prime Minister to restore order
    and stability and good governance in accordance with the
    Constitution of Canada, as both a world leading and esteemed
    Canadian jurist who has made such marks from within Canada,
    and without compromise, and in keeping with a good interpretation
    of Canadian history and agency, despite the current grotesque
    wrongs and breakdowns.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON HIS DATING ACTIVITIES

    Quaeres arise about my dating activities because I have
    been seen with various women friends over the last few years.
    However, I have been single for some time now, and working
    with both men and women from around the world to build up
    the goodwill and status of BWI and the Winston George Foundation
    (Global) across the globe, while also preparing the release of
    CDs, books and a major motion picture which involves me interviewing
    and corresponding with actors and actresses, managers, aids and producers
    from around the world.   I also have many friends who are women and
    who compliment my many male friendships - sometimes because they
    are the wives or companions of these friends.
     
    You might also imagine that as recently revealed and declared
    Divine Prophet of God, I have been meditating with God on the
    possibilities of a celibate or unmarried life.  He has yet to firmly
    direct me on such mattters, yet I know that with a little time these
    matters will be settled as part of my Prophetdom.

    WINSTON GEORGE TANNIS ON PLASTIC SURGERY IN LEBANON AND ELSEWHERE

    I am significantly opposed to most forms of plastic surgery
    since they are dangerous, degrading and unnecessary in
    many instances.  This applies in all places, and certainly
    in Lebanon, where I understand a unique advanced industry
    has emerged.  For the Lebanese, and other members of the
    Arab world to be partaking in this frenzied behaviour constitutes
    a form of violence and degradation of the soul and the true beauty
    of each heart, body and mind in search of God's will, decent relations
    with intimates and others.  At the worst level, a cultural genocide
    is in evolution which I find radically simple minded.  The people
    of the Levant have an obligation to uphold the truly beautiful
    as revealed by God's grace.  This applies to all persons of the
    world, since self-esteem and the beautiful begin with a reflection
    on God and the manner in which he affirms beauty through
    each one of us in communion with the other.
