Dear Leo,I never received your message of June 3rd to Bob Crane and others on the list that you. My computer died over a week ago (explaining why Bob could not reach me) and a new one was not installed until late yesterday.
I cannot speak for Bob. However, I am troubled that you charged that I ever in any way promised you or GHA, or others involved on the CSSS project any money for the work on that project. As Bob knows, all of us in our Center for Economic and Social Justice over the last 30 years have served as volunteers when we contribute to the mission of CESJ and must earn our incomes from other work. We are not driven by money in our commitments to the goals of CESJ. Attached is my last email to you clarifying the role that I was prepared to play in that project:

Subject: Re: What is your participation in the CSSS? Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 23:05:44 -0500 (CDT) From: Norman Kurland <nkurland1@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: thirdway@xxxxxxxx To: leo.semashko@xxxxxxxxx CC: mgreaney@xxxxxxxx Dear Leo, I have been extremely busy working on CESJ projects and expect to continue to remain focused on these projects for at least the next year. I will have limited time to serve as the editor of the economic and social portion of a publication balancing harmony (as edited by you) with social and economic justice as those terms are defined on our website at http://www.cesj.org. My willingness to serve, however, is conditioned on your agreeing to allow Michael Greaney to negotiate with you directly on my behalf on the name and overall structuring of such a balanced publication and to prepare the social and economic justice portion of the document for my final editing. It is also conditioned on your willingness to agree that Bob Crane's proposed donation of $15,000 be received by CESJ and used to cover the work of Michael and other CESJ persons on the project. I should point out that Michael or others in CESJ are not statisticians and frankly we see no need for statisticians for producing a written product proposing a new global paradigm we call the Just Third Way, the logic of the Kelsonian binary theory of economics, the three principles of economic justice, and the systemic institutional reforms needed at all levels of government to democratize the future ownership of all forms of productive capital. Not only will we base our case on Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as religious and other intellectual sources throughout history on the importance of property rights. We think that Harmonious Peace in this age of Global Terrorism is impossible without a new interfaith movement with a new vision that will unite world citizens. As Pope Francis recently declared, we must begin to combine on reforming the global financial system to end "the cult of money and the dictatorship" by the tiny elite of who own and control the today's global economic system. The target is not that elite. It is the system. That system was not created by God. When people wake up to apply sound design principles for a more participatory anddemocratic financial system, the money system will be reformed. Money will serve, not rule the people. Then Harmonic Peace,
Prosperity and Freedom will become possible from the bottom up. The poorest of the poor can live in a global social order built on a foundation of economic and social justice for all members of society. When all those associated with the CSSS project see this point, the world can and will be changed.

I have no intent of responding in kind.
You have attracted to GHA many noble and articulate people around the world. I was hoping to add some clarity and depth of understanding of universal principles of social and economic justice that are essential for unifying world citizens and leaders who are working for Peace and Harmony to the world. The monetary and ownership systems of the past are systemic enemies of Peace and Harmony for billions of people in all countries and academia has not offered a practical "Just Third Way" that would grow the economy in ways that would provide genuine equality in future economic opportunities to everyone without harming anyone.
At this point, I no longer wish to be associated with you as the leader but Michael Greaney and I as well as the books and writing available from our website at www.cesj.org remain available to others who are willing to search for holistic solutions to conflict, war, global terrorism and many other social ills associated with economic injustices and poverty.
I certainly hope that the interfaith alliances within GHA will succeed. Working for Harmonious Peace with Justice, Norm -- Norman G. Kurland, J.D.

Your silence will be yes also, because the value of this project is evident.*The project is titled: "/Comparative Sociological Statistical Study (CSSS). Dynamics of the Global Social Structure of Spheral Classes of Population: An Example of India, USA, Russia and Kazakhstan since 1950 by Decades. Development of Social Harmony, Economic Justice, Democracy and Spirituality/."The 18 participants-analysts from 10 countries discussed this project since May 24 and approved it. Them list is to look at the site. New members are welcome to CSSS.I express my heartfelt gratitude to all CSSS members for their support and participation in this unique global project. This is a group of CSSS analysts, which will be supplemented by statisticians. They will make professional statistical study, which will be the empirical basis for CSSS analytical articles.What are the main facts and results of the CSSS Program discussion since May 24?1. Project participants approved the CSSS following Board of Directors as its supreme body:1. *Dr. Leo Semashko*, Chair of CSSS Board of Directors, Manager, Editor in Chief and Treasurer of CSSS, Russia. 2. *Prof. Glen Martin*, President, Institute of Global Problems (IGP), USA, 3. *Prof. Charles Mercieca*, President, International Association of Educators for World Peace, USA 4. *Dr.**Bruce Cook*, GHA-USA President, Director of CSSS Publishing and Editorial teams. 5. *Prof. Subhash Chandra*, Convener, Global Peace Foundation (GPF), India, 6. *Prof. Subhash Sharma*, Director, Indus Business Academy (IBA), India, 7. *Dr. Surendra Pathak*, Director Research, IASE University, India, 8. *Dr. Uraz Baimuratov*, Director of Institute, Finance and Banking Management (FBM), Kazakhstan,The CSSS Board of Directors will be supplemented by representatives of statistical organizations. The CSSS Board of Directors on a democratic basis and openly resolves all operational issues of the CSSS management from its inception to completion, up to presentations of its book.2. The CSSS funding strategy was changed, which is expressed now in its Program as follows:*Sources of the CSSS funding*.GHA does not have its own funds. Therefore, CSSS funding in the amount of $60,000 is possible only from external sources. The most likely of them can be international and national statistical and sociological associations/organizations because CSSS is an unprecedented scientific study of world significance, which lays the basis for a completely new scientific knowledge - global statistics and global sociology. These disciplines are essential for the constitution of a global social science, including economics, demography, political and juridical sciences, ecology, and so on. GHA therefore hopes that among these organizations, we will be able to find the CSSS sponsors interested in becoming a pioneer in the creation of global social science in the 21st century with GHA on the basis of, first of all, global statistics and sociology. GHA is ready to share with the sponsor on a parity basis the copyright on CSSS and use of all its results that promise great business prospects in the future and many times will pay all costs on CSSS (see below, paragraph 25). The partner organization, funding CSSS, can implement its financing in different sizes for different variants of CSSS on the studied countries: 1. Four countries - India, USA, Russia and Kazakhstan - 60 thousand dollars. 2. Replacement of Kazakhstan by the any other fourth country - 70 thousand dollars.3. Three countries - India, USA, Russia - 50 thousand dollars. 4. Two countries - Russia and USA or India and USA - 40 thousand dollars.3. The changes in Board of Directors and the CSSS financing are caused the unmotivated (without explanations) refusals from own assurances and promises of Dr. Norman Kurland, CESJ President and Dr. Robert Crane, Islamic Studies Foundation President (Qatar) from the promised with name of God funding for CSSS in $30.000. We all know how call people who refuse to keep their promises. This is another proof that there is no any harmony and justice, no any science and religion are impossible without elementary ethics, decency and honesty. GHA often faced with similar situations. We will survive and this event. CSSS will be done under any circumstances. It is the GHA purpose and meaning and my personal goal for the coming year.4. The CSSS value can not be overestimated. It promises for GHA worldwide recognition and fundamental change of world relation to harmony. It promises to shift global consciousness from total ignorance in harmony to its scientific evidence and understanding. It is a difficult path full of many obstacles facing the GHA at every step. But so is with any world discovery, every historical shift in the consciousness of humanity, especially the one that opens up the way to an entirely new, unprecedented, global harmonious civilization and the second axial Age in human history. GHA serves this purpose for over 8 years, and it intends responsibly serve to this highest Mission and beyond, despite any obstacles. This movement is immortal. This belief is confirmed by the fact that almost every day in the GHA new people and organizations come to work together in a historic and unprecedented move of humanity to a harmonious civilization.Thank you very much for your approval.
