Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, did you know that the Kremlin sends me emails on a regular basis? O.K. now you know! And did you know that somebody takes my Kremlin Emails and redirects them into the garbage bin, without my consent or permission? Well now you know that also but this time I am redirecting a letter from the President of Russia into general distribution. Why? Because the Man sounds like a nice person and we need as many nice people as we can get...>

Dmitry Medvedev replied to a letter from pupils at a school with an intensive Russian-language programme attached to the Shanghai Foreign Languages University.

The President said in his letter, in particular:

"It was a pleasure to receive your sincere and friendly letter. Although you began learning Russian not so long ago, you have clearly already made a lot of progress, as your letter, written in good literary Russian, shows.

I hope that the Russian Language Year in China in 2009 and the Chinese Language Year in Russia in 2010 will give you additional opportunities to improve your knowledge of the Russian language, and will help our peoples to get to know each other better and learn more about each otherīs rich national cultures and traditions.


When I met recently in Moscow with President of China Hu Jintao we agreed to give special focus to expanding our cultural and humanitarian ties and developing contacts between our young people. I hope that you will soon be able to make a contribution to this important work.

I know that more than 80,000 children are studying Russian in China today in 100 secondary schools. I am pleased that 30 children have begun studying Russian at your school. I am sure that you have made the right choice, after all, our countries are working together in an ever broader range of areas, and I am sure that your knowledge will be put to good use.

In your letter you promise to work hard at studying Russian. I believe in your talent and your perseverance. You have many opportunities to help achieve your goals: books, television, the internet. I am sure that many interesting discoveries and new friends await you.

Thank you for the invitation to visit your school. I will try to take up your offer.

I sincerely wish you success in the interesting journey of gaining knowledge, and I wish you all the best."

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
