Iranian Studies

This paper argues that Persian historiographic sources from the period from ca. 1350 to ca. 1450 do not offer a single unequivocal term for "pastoral nomads" and that in fact social divisions following ways of life seem to be alien to them to a very large extent. The paper offers a detailed analysis of the uses of two terms: sahra-nishinan and hasham/ahsham. The latter term occurs far more frequently. It is argued that besides its meaning of "retinue/followers of a ruler/military leader", the term also denotes "military retinue, indeed warriors, mobilized for campaigns, coming from a pastoral nomadic background, and returning to their more peaceful occupations after the campaign".

You were elected to lead not to poison us.  The path of least resistance with respect to checks on population growth is no longer acceptable, if it ever was.  You have inherited this system and are therefore not responsible for the crimes committed in the past to prevent war, but you are responsible for the crimes that are being committed in the present to preserve peace. 

The plan of controlled depopulation has been in place since 1945 and has been gradually imposed on nation states by mutual coercion mutually agreed upon to ensure that no country outgrows its resources and is tempted or forced to invade its neighbors and take by force that which it needs for the survival of its people.  In the nuclear age that is indeed the only responsible way for nations and people to coexist on a finite planet. 

The United Nations has acted as a neutral agency and has coordinated this substitute to war globally so that not even the mightiest of nations can escape or eschew their responsibilities towards international peace and trigger a nuclear war that would end up in our assured mutual destruction. 

The program of population control must remain in place and will proceed towards controlled depopulation as soon as our numbers peak, in a couple of decades, and continue until such time as human civilization becomes sustainable and we no longer harm the planet by disrupting the equilibrium of life.  The covert methods of depopulation in place since the end of World War II, however, will have to be retired immediately and replaced with global population control legislation that restricts family size to two children across the world and in perpetuity or until such time as we can reach other planets, which may never happen.

Neither we nor the remaining life on the planet can survive a doubling of the global population from 7 to 14 billion, which would occur in thirty years without artificially impeding human fertility.  This being the case, it makes no sense to pretend otherwise and fail to involve every human being on the planet in an open, fair and transparent program of population control.  This is not rocket science and every human being will be able to understand the logic and the necessity of such a plan. Failing to understand will condemn us all to poverty, misery, filth, pollution, and ultimately war.  As UN technocrats will put it, population dynamics is inextricably linked to macroeconomics and planetary boundaries and we can no longer afford to ignore this fact.
I have freed you from the self-imposed prison of covert depopulation by mutual coercion mutually agreed upon.  It is now up to you to take the next step and free us from mass poisoning by putting in place the necessary political entity capable of overseeing the worldwide transition from covert to overt population control peacefully and gently. 

If I am not needed to oversee the transition or to lead this organization then I will return to my inconspicuous and private life.  To be able to do this I ask that my children are returned to me without delay.  They have been taken away from me by force and have held hostage by the government of Canada for more than three years now in the hope that I would acquiesce to the system of global genocide and abandon my fellow human beings to mass murderers.  I think by now it is painfully clear to everyone that I will never acquiesce.  Nor will I abandon my children. 

It should also be painfully clear that I have put an end to the secrecy and the deception and freed not only you but also the truth.  Over the course of the next few weeks, I will address in writing each and every one of the individuals at the helm of the world’s 196 sovereign states to ask that they too change course before it is too late. 

Several of you have already changed course in response to my work and entreaties, but only all of you together can convince the world that population control is mankind’s ticket to salvation and therefore inevitable.  The sooner you muster the courage to stand in front of the world united to explain to the people the brutal facts of overpopulation and the bitter reality of covert depopulation practiced over the past seven decades, the sooner humankind will forge a new and common course that demands a small sacrifice from all of us, namely limiting our families to maximum two children, and promises great benefits to all of us: enduring peace, universal prosperity, and planetary health. 
I have done my duty and have shown not only that a common man can understand the complexity of global governance on his own and despite the extraordinary obstacles in place, but also act accordingly.  It is now your turn to do your duty and what you were elected for, namely pass laws that benefit us all and not just the 1%.

This day and age demands from every head of state that he or she is also a global leader and thinks not only about the wellbeing of his or her fellow nationals but also of the wellbeing of all people on the planet.  For all intents and purpose, and until such time as the world has a recognized global parliament, we already live in a world that is a single and indivisible political unit. 

Be brave and act accordingly!  If you fail to be brave and act accordingly, the efforts made to prevent war will be the cause of war.  And this war will not be a war between nations but a war between the 99% and the 1% in response to and in defense against the silent and devious war the 1% has waged against the 99% for nearly seven decades.

This is your final notice.
