<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'">In the space of one week, traveling to three states, I returned
my ranking on <a href="http://academia.edu" target="_blank">academia.edu</a> to the top 5% in site visits the last thirty days. I found a new friend in Ralph Nader, made a
big splash at Yale, and withstood peer review scrutiny in the local University of Wisconsin
Madison Data Discussion Group at the new Discovery Center.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'"><br></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">The
event in the Bay State was Ralph’s way of working on the “Citizen
Summons” concept where you build support for an issue one congressperson at a
time, getting a core group of 15 volunteers to bring a group of 300 to 500
people to a meeting with the congressperson about that issue. This way, multiplied across the whole US Congress,
a group of citizens less than 1% of the population can start a social movement
on any issue that has majority support in the opinion polls.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">I
used the law of return to my advantage, that is, as you give so shall you receive
in return. I shipped a case of 100 of my
videos on Peace Economics to the conference, so that everyone who came got a
free video. Ralph talked to me privately
at the first dinner before the first session as I sat down next to him when I
had the fortunate opportunity. I didn’t
know if he would stay the whole conference or turn proceedings over to a
confederate after a while. Fortunately,
he stayed the whole conference, with his sister as his confederate intently
listening the whole time and often participating. I later found out that the first conference
he held at the same site a half year earlier was much more participatory, but
feedback from that event encouraged him to play a much stronger lecture role in
the three day conference. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Ralph
generously announced my gift of a documentary on the military economy in the
first of four sessions. He acknowledged
my research efforts at all the sessions.
In the third session he opened the floor for five minute speeches from
the audience as I led off followed by another Wisconsin
colleague. Then I passed a flyer around
with the 10 domestic effects of military (empire) spending. In the final session Ralph talked about how
empires decay and are brought down by internal forces rather than external
forces, reinforcing the empire concept my video leads logically into. During the conference a half dozen or so
people of the fifty two in attendance personally thanked me for the video, and
at the end I passed out more videos requesting that they donate those videos to
their local library, for a total of 71 videos distributed. One person actually viewed the DVD during the
conference and gave positive feedback. After
the conference there were significant activity increases on my two or three
main websites. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Yale
Legal Fiction Conference, New Haven,
Connecticut</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'">The “legal fiction” conference in Yale the two days before
returning home May 20<sup>th</sup>, also went very well. I met the first speaker, a professor from Germany, one
hour before the conference was to start. She took my card as I said I had invented new
better macroeconomic and global warming theories, and later on in the
conference called on me by name. The two
of us from Wisconsin left a big impression
asking questions during the conference, and heads turned to look at me in the
last role when I clearly laid out the biased situation in the Ferguson Missouri
grand jury case in the shooting death of Michael Brown by policeman Darren
Wilson. The key facts were that the
policeman testified first, as if Michael Brown was being investigated and the
policeman was testifying against him. This
set up the policeman’s fiction as authentic and was supported by testimony of a
white woman. This white woman was never
at the scene the prosecutor admitted, one month after the decision not to
charge the officer, when the prosecutor was interviewed on a local radio
station. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Later I went to the Yale
Law School
in search of the Reuschlein Room mentioned in an internet listing of a distant
relation, Harold Reuschlein, who graduated from Yale
Law School
in the forties and helped to found Villanova
Law School
in the fifties as well as writing a famous law text book. The gatekeeper at the door lead me to someone
else in groundskeeping who might know of this Room, who led me to another
person, who led me to another person in the library in the top three floors of
the building. Together we discovered
that Harold had come from Burlington, Wisconsin, a small town in Southern Wisconsin not unlike
my great great grandfather’s home town of Plain,
Wisconsin. In fact, Burlington
had the church that notable Madison
journalist John Nichols attended as a child. John Nichols now frequents the book store of
Spring Green, Wisconsin, the next town over
from Plain, Wisconsin,
and he also knows of the Reuschlein clan. Most Reuschleins, a rare name in the Munich phone book, either live in Wisconsin
or Kulmbach, Bavaria, Germany
according to the world book of Reuschleins with about 100 listings in the whole
world. So when 52 year old Heinrich
Reuschlein moved from Tauberbischoffsheim, Baden,
Germany, to Plain, Wisconsin
in <a href="tel:1854" value="+661854" target="_blank">1854</a> with my then 16 year old great grandfather Sebastion, he started an
explosion of Reuschleins from Wisconsin. Small world.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Data
Discussion Group in Wisconsin</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">The
next day, May 21<sup>st</sup>, I gave a presentation on how to construct a
model in 28 steps to a Data Discussion Group at UW-Madison’s Discovery Center
that had started February 5th. My
article consisted of 17 pages of my collected works from my first book in <a href="tel:1986" value="+661986" target="_blank">1986</a>,
two papers in 2014 and one in 2015. I had
impressed the group with insightful observations and questions for months now,
and my suggested topic was finally taken up. Unfortunately, attendance was light as the
semester had just ended with grades turned in just days before. But interest was high and one participant by
teleconference from Marshfield viewed two of my
papers online afterwards, as did a few from Madison before and after. So peer review of my work by this group went
well. I am looking forward to presenting
a hundred year history of the US
military budget, deficit, and economic growth in La Crosse Wisconsin
at the Economic and Business History Society next Friday, May 29<sup>th</sup>,
2015. I also will participate in the University of Toledo Peace Education symposium July 26
to August 2<sup>nd</sup> later this summer.</span></p>
