<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">I was privileged to work with former South African President <strong>FW de Klerk</strong> at numerous <a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/mBdau7LKgpRQiFok892DmKPA/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Summits of Nobel Peace Laureates,</a> an organization founded by President <strong>Mikhail Gorbachev</strong> which convenes Peace Laureates at extraordinary conferences on a regular basis and with <a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/OWXydu6gF2FNOFd8Xydoug/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">which I am honored to serve as its Representative to the United Nations</a>. I draw your attention to the <a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/mBdau7LKgpRQiFok892DmKPA/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Final Declarations</a>, which contain expressions of collective wisdom and practicality. President de Klerk’s contributions were always substantive, terse, and clear.</p>

He demonstrated courage in his work to help end apartheid in South Africa and I observed his humility, and warmth wherever he went.</p>

<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16"><strong>Ambassador</strong> <strong>Thomas Graham</strong>, a member of GSI’s Board of Directors was instrumental in the creation and signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty as the lead diplomat for the United States on the issue. <a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/Mwn4ZADLuSVyR8hC763oW1892A/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">His historic analysis is essential reading for anyone serious about understanding its creation and importance</a>. The Treaty’s relationship to the stability of the nonproliferation regime and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty <a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/iC3R9mn2Yr5aPTeP953PfQ/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">is the focus of an in-depth, but short, study by  the European Leadership Network</a>.</p>
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">President Clinton’s characterization of the Treaty is succinct and accurate&#8230; &#8220;I was honored to be the first of 146 leaders to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, our commitment to end all nuclear tests for all time — the longest-sought, hardest-fought prize in the history of arms control. It will help to prevent the nuclear powers from developing more advanced and more dangerous weapons. It will limit the possibilities for other states to acquire such devices&#8230; Our common goal should be to enter the CTBT into force as soon as possible, and I ask for all of you to support that goal.&#8221; Note also<a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/jqHoPwWGIyRgoLQm1fUy763g/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> quotes from Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy on the subject</a>.</p>
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">You might also enjoy my thoughts regarding the recent apparent order by President Trump to resume nuclear testing and U.S. votes on this subject in the UN General Assembly, addressed in a <a href="https://mailranker.com/sendy/l/W763wNNX06mVELftpLhAI8926w/YkhocrviPVz5Aj6FZPnVBg/CqPZcNXj630892l4de6DSDWA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">syndicated article by the Inter Press Service</a>. My quotes are outstanding in their unique grammatical awkwardness, unnecessary loquaciousness, exemplifying an overly pedantic series of run-on sentences, which in summary strongly urge against the resumption of testing and emphasize the need for cooperation to address an abundance of threats to us all.</p>
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">On 21 November, I will address the third Annual Digital Power of Women Conference. This distinguished event powerfully advances much-needed gender balance. I hope you can join virtually.</p>
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">GSI Advisory Board Member Honorable Douglas Roche’s very personal article <strong>Creative Dissent: A Politician’s Struggle for Peace </strong>merits a serious quiet read. It is inspiring because it reveals the character of one of the most effective, wise, and passionate advocates for nuclear disarmament and human security of our time.</p>

<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">The Foundation hosted <strong>Jonathan Granoff</strong>, President of the Global Security Institute, as the keynote speaker, who delivered a lecture on: “FW de Klerk&#8217;s Commitment to Justice: Transformation, Constitutionalism and the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons”.</p>
<p>In his lecture, Jonathan reflected on his many meetings with Mr De Klerk at World Summits of Nobel Peace Laureates, some of Mr De Klerk’s greatest achievements — such as initiating South Africa’s constitutional transformation, abolishing South Africa’s nuclear arsenal and making South Africa a leading member of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.</p>

<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">At a time when division often overshadows shared humanity, returning to the core ethical teachings that unite us becomes essential. Across every faith tradition, one principle shines through: treat others as you wish to be treated. This universal truth, known as the Golden Rule, has guided moral thought, shaped civilizations, and anchored our deepest spiritual traditions.</p>

<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">The Digital Power Of Women (DPOW) 2025 Conference — an official Civil20 and G20 Social South Africa digital event will explore how the Golden Rule functions as a moral through-line across religions and why it remains a relevant framework. Jonathan’s message will invite leaders, youth, and communities to recognize that the values uniting us are far more powerful than the differences dividing us.</p>
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">
<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">This keynote is part of the 3rd Annual Digital Power Of Women Conference, convening global leaders, innovators, social-impact changemakers, movement builders, and youth from across continents to imagine and build a future rooted in balance, respect, and collective peace &amp; wellbeing.</p>

<p class="yiv0827628782es-text-mobile-size-16">The US took another step backward – to break ranks with the United Nations– when it voted against a draft resolution calling for the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The negative vote followed an announcement by President Trump last month that the US plans to resume nuclear testing after a 33-year hiatus. The US stood alone on the UN vote, which was supported by almost all member States in the General Assembly’s First Committee.</p>

<p align="center"><strong>Under the High Patronage of</strong><b><br />
<strong>Mr Emmanuel MACRON</strong><br />
<strong>President of the French Republic</strong></b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Paris, May 30, 2025 </b>– Responding to the call of the Israeli, Palestinian, and global populations for lasting peace in the Middle East, <b>the Paris Peace Forum is hosting a civil society mobilization event for the two-state solution, peace, and regional security in Paris on June 13, 2025. Entitled “Paris Call for the Two-State Solution, Peace and Regional Security,” the event will be held at the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) under the high patronage of Mr. Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic.</b> This key meeting will take place a few days ahead of the High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Resolution of the Palestinian Question and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, which will be held from June 17 to 20, 2025, at the United Nations in New York.</p>
<p>This event <b>will bring together several hundred civil society actors committed to the implementation of the two-state solution and a shared future based on mutual recognition, peace, and security for all.</b> At a time when the region is plagued by extreme violence, terrorism, hatred, and injustice, and when the two-state solution faces existential threats, participants—mostly Israelis and Palestinians, but also from the Middle East, Europe, and the United States—will highlight the need for decisive action. They will stress the urgency of an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and the unconditional delivery of humanitarian aid commensurate with the needs of the people of Gaza.</p>
<p>On June 13 in Paris, these organizations and civil society figures will put their expertise and experience at the service of concrete solutions for the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of a viable Palestinian state, offering security guarantees for all, and for advancing regional integration. In addition to contributing to the work of the eight thematic working groups of the High-Level International Conference on June 17-20, the civil society actors gathered in large numbers on this occasion will launch a <b>call to action </b>to the international community reflecting their commitment to peace and security for all.</p>
<p>This Paris Call will reinforce the action of France and the European Union, which are committed to peace in the Middle East, which cannot be achieved without the implementation of the two-state solution. The conference organized by the Paris Peace Forum aims to support this objective by providing a platform for the concrete expression of civil societies committed to the two-state solution, regional peace, and security.</p>

Despite our hopes, respiratory virus season is not over yet. The rate of acute respiratory illness causing people to seek healthcare remains high, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).</p>
<p>While viruses like the flu, RSV and COVID can impact people anytime, most people associate these viruses with colder and winter months – and while winter may be loosening its grip – these viruses are not.</p>
<p>Who is most vulnerable to respiratory illnesses?</p>
<p>Immunocompromised people. You qualify as “immunocompromised” if you have an illness that weakens your immune system, such as cancer, an autoimmune disease, or have had an organ transplant. You may also qualify if your immune system works well. but are being treated for another condition suppresses your immune response.</p>
<p>We all know someone who is immunocompromised and for these people, COVID can be deadly.</p>
<p>Approximately 3% of the U.S adult population is considered immunocompromised and are more susceptible to severe outcomes and complications of infectious disease.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do to protect yourself against respiratory infections includes:</p>
<p>Vaccines are the recommended approach</p>
<p>However, vaccines are shown to leave immunocompromised people exposed and need extra protection</p>
<p>Talk to your doctor about a COVID protection approach</p>
<p>Cover your cough or sneeze</p>
<p>On Thursday, February 27th, Dr. Amesh Adalja, Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, will be available to discuss the peaking of the respiratory illness season and how everyone can protect themselves. He’ll also discuss protecting immunocompromised people from COVID-19.</p>

<p>The taxation of Social Security began in 1984, following the enactment of Amendments in 1983, which President Reagan signed into law. Under that law, <a class="link " href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/finance/stealth-tax-on-social-security-hurts-more-retirees-each-year/?hyperlink_type=manual&amp;utm_term=incontent_link_2&amp;utm_campaign=1258010&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_content=4&amp;utm_medium=rss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-ylk="slk:up to 50% of Social Security benefits could be added to taxable income;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" data-rapid_p="10" data-v9y="1">up to 50% of Social Security benefits could be added to taxable income</a>, provided the taxpayer’s total income exceeded certain thresholds.</p>

<h2>Some States Tax Social Security for Retirees</h2>
<p>To worsen financial matters for retirees depending on Social Security to make ends meet, some states impose their own state income taxes on benefits. Fortunately, there aren’t nearly as many states that impose their own tax on Social Security as those that don’t.</p>
<p>“The list of states that do not tax Social Security is much longer than those that do,” said Brian Kuhn CFP, CLU, SVP and financial advisor at <a class="link " href="https://www.wealthenhancement.com/s/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-ylk="slk:Wealth Enhancement Group;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" data-rapid_p="12" data-v9y="1">Wealth Enhancement Group</a>. “And each state makes its own rules, which sometimes change, including, recently, in Missouri and Nebraska.”</p>
<p>Both Missouri and Nebraska have decided to stop taxing Social Security benefits in 2024.</p>
<p><strong>Retirement Planning: <a class="link " href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/retirement/planning/retirement-planning-how-much-average-person-65-older-spends-monthly/?hyperlink_type=manual&amp;utm_term=related_link_3&amp;utm_campaign=1258010&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_content=5&amp;utm_medium=rss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-ylk="slk:How Much the Average Person 65 and Older Spends Monthly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" data-rapid_p="13" data-v9y="1">How Much the Average Person 65 and Older Spends Monthly</a></strong></p>
<h2>Only 10 States Will Tax Social Security in 2024</h2>
<p>Only 10 states do or will continue to tax Social Security benefits in 2024.</p>
<p>“They are Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia,” Kuhn said. “Each state has tax provisions that could provide deductions for individuals below certain thresholds or ages, making each state unique.”</p>
<h2>Most States Will Not Tax Social Security in 2024</h2>
<p>The vast majority of states — plus Washington, D.C. — will not tax Social Security benefits in 2024. These states are:</p>
<ul class="caas-list caas-list-bullet">
<li>Alabama</li>
<li>Alaska</li>
<li>Arizona</li>
<li>Arkansas</li>
<li>California</li>
<li>Delaware</li>
<li>Florida</li>
<li>Georgia</li>
<li>Hawaii</li>
<li>Idaho</li>
<li>Illinois</li>
<li>Indiana</li>
<li>Iowa</li>
<li>Kentucky</li>
<li>Louisiana</li>
<li>Maine</li>
<li>Maryland</li>
<li>Massachusetts</li>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>Mississippi</li>
<li>Missouri</li>
<li>Nebraska</li>
<li>Nevada</li>

<li>New Jersey</li>
<li>New York</li>
<li>North Carolina</li>
<li>North Dakota</li>

<li>Oklahoma</li>
<li>Oregon</li>
<li>Pennsylvania</li>
<li>South Carolina</li>
<li>South Dakota</li>
<li>Tennessee</li>
<li>Texas</li>
<li>Virginia</li>
<li>Washington</li>
<li>Wisconsin</li>
<li>Washington, D.C.</li>
<li>Wyoming</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Much Do Retirees Save on Social Security Taxes in These States?</h2>
<p>Kuhn pointed out that you can calculate how much you’re saving on taxes — assuming you live in a state that does not tax Social Security benefits — by looking up the effective rate of tax you paid to your state for all taxed income sources and applying that to your total Social Security benefits.</p>
<p>“So, for example, if your effective rate in your state was 5%, and you received $30,000 in Social Security benefits, that would be a savings of $1,500,” Kuhn said.</p>
<p>From a big picture perspective, the amount saved among retirees who are not taxed on Social Security benefits by their state of residence is quite impressive.</p>
<p>“In Missouri, for instance, retirees are looking at a collective annual saving of around $309 million,” said Jeff Rose, CFP, founder of <a class="link " href="https://www.goodfinancialcents.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-ylk="slk:Good Financial Cents;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" data-rapid_p="15" data-v9y="1">Good Financial Cents</a>. “Over in Nebraska, it’s about $17 million. That’s a lot of money that retirees get to keep in their pockets instead of it being drained away by state taxes.”</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This September 21st, 2023 on the UN International Day of Peace, both in-person and global virtual audiences will experience the first ever 100% solar-powered concert in Times Square for peace and ecology, powered by multi-faceted musical artist and climate activist AY Young and his Battery Tour. Also featured is mental tranquility advocate and acclaimed singer Michel Pascal, who will be joined by US Presidential Candidate, author, and activist Marianne Williamson and Myron McKinley of Earth, Wind, &amp; Fire. As a part of the larger five-hour Peace Day event, this concert will accompany virtual messages from legacy peacekeepers like Ringo Starr, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas, Jane Goodall, Sir Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, Joe Dispenza, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, and Shakira. The nonprofit event producer Good News Corporation, has partnered with OMMM, UNIFY, WE.net, AY Young, Battery Tour, </strong><strong>SmartFlower</strong><strong>, Playa Betty’s, Samsung, GM, BNP Paribas, </strong><strong>Hugg-A Planet, </strong><strong>New York Parks and Recreation, and Times Square Alliance.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Battery Tour’s involvement in the Pause the World for Peace event is highly intentional. On a mission to break barriers and build bridges, AY Young was appointed by the United Nations as Global Youth Leader for the Sustainable Development Goals in 2020, Generation 17 Youth Ambassador, and SDG Champion. AY has performed over 800 concerts powered entirely by the Battery Tour’s renewable energy. “We are all outlets for change,” says the artist. And driving positive change is a major theme between Pause the World for Peace event collaborators. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Michel Pascal will lead a dance meditation and musical performance, seamlessly combining the serenity of meditation, and the joy of dance, promising a unique and transformative experience. Pascal, co-founder of OMMM which is a movement to create a positive impact on individuals and communities worldwide through the practice of meditation, music and multimedia content. Pascal, A.K.A &#8220;The Medicine Voice,&#8221; has been performing at Carnegie Hall since 2016, while working closely with marginalized communities, including prisoners and veterans. The concert will also feature a bilingual meditation guided by Juliana Klinkert, an esteemed meditation teacher known for her work at Amity Foundation and in Hispanic communities.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Young and Pascal, along with the generations they represent, continue a wave of peace work built on the foundations of champions of peace like David Gershon (led 1986 Earth Run Torch of Peace), Ben Bowler (founder of UNITY Earth bringing cease-fires for peace), his eminence Shyalpa Rinpoche (currently building Universal Peace Sanctuary at UNESCO World Heritage Site for Peace), Jonathan Granoff (World Academy of Art &amp; Science Fellow and UN Ambassador to the Nobel Peace Laureates), and Jeremy Gilley (founder of Peace One Day with Sir Paul McCartney message). They, like others both in New York and nationally, including Michael Fitzpatrick (25 year cellist to the Dalai Lama), Rick Ulfic &amp; Andrew Kaen (established 11 Days of Global Unity), Reverend Susana Bastarrica &amp; James Cannings (founded Vigil for International Day of Peace), and Reverend Deborah Muldow &amp; Fumi Johns (of May Peace Prevail on Earth with 250,000 Peace Poles worldwide), </strong><strong>Peace Lights Peter Rogina, </strong><strong>have dedicated their lives to empowering communities, fostering cooperation, and addressing global challenges with social innovations. Seeds planted decades ago are breaking ground as a new surge of activism takes shape in a post-pandemic society ready for collaborative action.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Pause the World for Peace event includes a special segment entitled “Peace in Action” with renowned representatives sharing the latest in major global issues, including domestic violence, school safety, human rights, human security, animal rights, climate action, and ending violence in health, politics, and religion, regardless of gender, race, or disability, promoting practical paths to a thriving life for all. A special military and police tribute for fallen heroes will be featured. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Pause the World for Peace event, set in the Duffy Square section of Times Square, NY, is hosted by the Good News Corporation, whose founder Reverend Paul Sladkus has coordinated global Pause the World for Peace broadcasts in Central Park for 21 years, and continues to be a leader in rallying movements for peace in action. Sladkus, who is an ordained all faith minister, implores, “193 countries in the UN unanimously agreed to a CEASE FIRE EVERYWHERE, ACTS OF PEACE &amp; LOVE, and WE CAN DO IT. Let’s listen to Ringo Starr at 12:00pm Noon ET as he requests a Worldwide Moment of Silence for PEACE, from Times Square, virtually on September 21, 2023, and then keep that moment going for peace to last FOREVER.”</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The event will run until 5:00PM EDT and will air to the world via UNIFY (received 2 billion views with the UN for Peace Day in 2017), who will broadcast the program to their combined partner audience of millions worldwide. McKinsey Co. stated that there are 1.6 billion people worldwide already aware of the International Day of Peace. Pause the World for Peace aims to amplify the urgent need for collective action and global cooperation. Together, we stand in solidarity to promote peace, human security, and climate action for a better and brighter future for all.</strong></p>
