WHERE IS MIKHAIL GORBACHEV? DOES HE HAVE A JOB? IS HE RETIRED? WARM AND FUZZY UNCLE GORBY HAS A NICE LITTLE PLACE UNDER THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. HIS HEART IS NOW IN SAN FRANCISCO. READ ON! It should first be understood that the entire "collapse of communism" and disintegration of the Soviet Union was a completely preplanned and staged event. Ronald Reagan was an actor with an important "speaking part" in this movie. Remember Reagan's dramatic line: "Mr. Gorbachev.....tear down this wall!" ? Suddenly....almost as if by magic, the Cold War ended. The walls came tumbling down. The "Evil Empire" disintegrated. Communism simply evaporated from the earth. And now, everyone is living happily ever after. What a fairy tale! Gorbachev was hailed in America and around the world as the warm and fuzzy guy in the Kremlin who helped Reagan end the Cold War. The american information media sold this image of Gorby to the american people. So uncle Gorby was invited to come live in the land of the free and the home of Disneyland and McDonalds. Gorby went into business with Henry Kissinger and Associates. Notice his title: "Co-Chair, State of the World Forum" and his address: The Presidio PO Box 29434 San Francisco CA 94129 Uncle Gorby was given an office to conduct his business. It wasn't just a nice little office somewhere....not even a nice big office somewhere. The former ruler of the Evil Empire was given one of the choicest pieces of real estate in America. >From his office window, the kindly old "world statesman" has a view of "some of the most spectacular vistas anywhere in the world." Gorbachev was given a suite of offices in the recently closed Presidio U.S. Military Base in the very shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. His job has been "advising" the U.S. Government on which U.S. Military Bases are to be closed. Read the following information about this particular location which is now a National Park and you should be able to connect some dots. Notice especially the stated new purpose of The Presidio: "creating a global center dedicated to the world's most critical environmental, social, and cultural challenges. The Presidio's new role symbolizes the swords-to-plowshares concept." Regards to All Nakano ___________________________________________________ A Vision for the Presidio The Presidio of San Francisco, one of America's greatest natural and cultural treasures, has been transformed from a military base to a national park site unlike any other. It will pioneer a new role for a national park by creating a global center dedicated to the world's most critical environmental, social, and cultural challenges. The Presidio's new role symbolizes the swords-to-plowshares concept. On this site of incomparable beauty and history, we can link our military past with a future full of promise and possibility. This transformation is inspired by an emerging definition of protection - one that recognizes that defense no longer must be based solely on political and military strength, but on stewardship of the world's human and physical resources through global cooperation. Long the guardian of the Golden Gate, the Presidio now stands ready to house a network of organizations dedicated to improving human and natural environments and addressing our common future. The site will be used as a working laboratory to create models of environmental sustainability that can be transferred to communities worldwide. Its inspirational setting will provide a respite for reflection and personal renewal for its many visitors. The Presidio's significant location has produced an unprecedented concentration of cultural, natural and recreational resources - distinctive architecture, unique ecological systems, inviting parklands, and spectacular vistas. With its context of the Golden Gate, it 's a powerfully evocative and relevant location at which to tell sweeping stories of California and western history. In 1989, as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Act, the Army announced that the military post would be closed, and on October 1, 1994, the Presidio became part of the GGNRA. On July 1, 1998, management of the non-coastal areas of the Presidio was transferred to the Presidio Trust, which is tasked with making the Presidio monetarily self sufficient by 2013 by leasing property within this National Park site. Today, visitors from all over the world can savor the history and beauty of this "Jewel of the Pacific." Within its 1,480 acres lie 510 historic buildings, a "museum" of coastal defense fortifications, a national cemetery, a historic airfield, planted forest, beaches, coastal bluffs, miles of hiking and biking, and some of the most spectacular vistas anywhere in the world. A 220-year continuous history as a military garrison under three flags distinguishes the Presidio as a National Historic Landmark with a rich collection of historic architecture, engineered structures, and landscape features. Now surrounded by San Francisco's dense residential neighborhoods, the Presidio's open space has become an urban oasis and critical refuge for plants and wildlife, including rare and endangered species, at an important geographical and ecological location. The Presidio's bay and coastal shorelines and forested landscape offer recreational opportunities for active pursuits as well as places for solitude, retreat, and discovery. Transformation of the Presidio from military post to park is a complex challenge. Unlike any other park, the Presidio contains more than 800 buildings, a research facility, a golf course, a national cemetery, and a full range of recreational and community services on its 1,480 acres. Following transfer of the post to the National Park Service in 1994, a community planning process was initiated that resulted in a General Management Plan for the Presidio. This plan calls for preserving and protecting the parks resources and for bringing organizations together that focus on finding solutions to environmental, cultural and social issues of global scale. For 218 years the Presidio served as a military post under the flags of three nations - Spain, Mexico, and the United States. During its history the Presidio protected commerce and trade, and played a logistical role in every major U.S. military engagement since the Mexican-American War. World events and those on the home front - from military conflicts to aviation firsts, from World Fairs to natural disasters - left their mark on the Presidio. In 1972, Congress authorized the establishment of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and included the Presidio of San Francisco in that authorization. In 1989, as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Act, the Army announced that the military post would be closed, and on October 1, 1994, the Presidio became part of the GGNRA. On July 1, 1998, management of the non-coastal areas of the Presidio was transferred to the Presidio Trust, which is tasked with making the Presidio monetarily self sufficient by 2013 by leasing property within this National Park site. Today, visitors from all over the world can savor the history and beauty of this "Jewel of the Pacific." Within its 1,480 acres lie 510 historic buildings, a "museum" of coastal defense fortifications, a national cemetery, a historic airfield, planted forest, beaches, coastal bluffs, miles of hiking and biking, and some of the most spectacular vistas anywhere in the world. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
