"Dear Peter," Anton wrote, "I think it is unwise for me to come to the conference at the present time. Please forgive me; you were probably looking forward to meeting me there. The subject I'm working on isn't fully developed yet. It is still too new for me to expound it in a lecture. It could be misinterpreted and then become counter productive.

      "Also, there is another problem, Pete. I have this question in my mind, of whether an institution like the UN can ever be a fit sponsor for a conference on peace and development. Until now, the UN has sponsored only death and destruction. The UN probably murdered many times more people than Adolf Hitler had murdered. It has done it in Bosnia, Iraq, and in many places in Africa and Central America. It has done it economically, as in the case of Russia, through the IMF, setting the stage for large-scale genocide. The UN policies have almost always protected the murderers, not the people who were desperate to find a way out. Also, can you remember the Cairo Conference on Population? It was a blatant attempt to impose population reduction on the world under the pain of severe sanctions should a nation not reduce its population to meet the set targets. Fortunately for humanity the US President had the wisdom and the courage to shut the whole madness down that came out of this UN conference. He said that the UN target should be seen as nothing more than a voluntary guideline that every nation should be free to take or leave, and that no sanctions should be imposed against human populations.

      "Peter, I must also consider the many other environmental movements the UN has sponsored, which have taken away, one by one, essential items from the support structures of humanity. The first to go were the PCBs, then DDT, then the CFCs. They have taken away the best in crop protection for purely political reasons, and the most efficient refrigerants for purely political reasons. Except when you do this, you take away food from people's plate. This is the stuff that the UN supports, Pete. How many people the UN has killed, then? Their number may be in the hundreds of millions. Be careful, Pete, the UN isn't an organization that wants peace and human development. You should sign out and leave Caracas.

      "I feel the answer to the problem of war is contained within the problem itself," she continued. "You can't fight it by picking away at a few of the symptoms. One has to go deeper. We should have the courage to face the reality of war as it exists now and let its naked image stare in our faces that it may reveal the answers we are looking for. But I don't think this will happen in Caracas. Most UN organized conferences are designed in such a manner that the assembly will be induced to approve a predetermined conclusion. The agendas are specifically designed to achieve that. So why should I come? I will not take part in a process that is designed to rubber-stamp someone's objective for humanity. I respect myself too much to allow myself to become an instrument in a destructive process that these veiled manipulations are designed to support. I am sorry for having to disappoint you. You may have been hoping that we would meet again after all those years. I would love nothing better, but this can't be. Not on this platform.

      "Also, Peter, I like to thank you for your help in mobilizing the world to come to our aid when we badly needed it, which resulted in food being donated to Russia at our most desperate hour, and to North Korea also. I saw your name mentioned on some of the manifests. We needed 12 million tones, as you know, but the people of the world gave us 14. Much of it came from China that can't afford giving such aid. I am deeply involved now; to assure that these needs will never arise again. The reality is that we have the capacity to help feed the world instead of being dependent on it. The UN and its financial policy arm, the International Monetary Fund, have created the dependence on aid that we now suffer. This is what I am concerned about these days.
