I think I remember how it happened, I am pretty sure. It is a long time ago and much of my memory of WAM has faded – due principally to the trauma I endured – but in this case I do recall. Google Analytics was at that time giving me “intelligence” and what it was doing was identifying the IP [Internet Protocol] and the name of the organization which owned the IP. In this case it was the Nobel Foundation, in Norway and Sweden. I think I recall both countries showing up. I was obviously becoming very famous so I was not really surprised to see them appear on my server.

This was happening on a regular basis, very famous and important institutions were visiting worldaffairsmonthly.com. I have already explained that I have been pretty famous and influential for a long time, since I was a young man, so this did not bolster my ego. This was just another day for me.

I do my work, I am not sure what to call this work I do – maybe diplomacy is the most accurate description. I am a diplomat but within a diplomat's “skill set” is a mind-boggling number of “aptitudes” including having a huge appetite for information and knowledge. It is not easy to do diplomacy, there is something very weird about it. You either know what you are doing or you do not. I am not sure you can be trained to be a diplomat. Yes, a select few individuals might respond to training and they might be able to be trained to a certain level of skill but this level of skill and ability will not likely be enough to make any impact – on history.

So I do not know how to describe this work I do. Henry Kissinger did a reasonably good job of trying to illustrate what diplomacy is when he published his book on leadership. I have already praised this effort by Kissinger to educate the public on what diplomacy is and how critical it is to our well-being and success as a global society. I have speculated that he may have been inspired by me to write it. I suspect this is true, and I am really proud of him for making this huge effort at the end of his life. It is a formidable achievement. Indeed, when Kissinger's recent death was announced I was a little taken aback by the effusive praise of Kissinger by Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. I was expecting some praise and kind words but their words exceeded this. I asked, why were they so incredibly impressed with Kissinger?

It took several days and then I realized that what probably happened is Kissinger (relatively recently) called Putin and Xi Jinping and told them, “you can be feeling pretty good about things because I know my friend Mr Pochari will be able to manage things, you are in good hands.” If it happened like this, they had to be very reassured by Kissinger's assertion and statement, and they likely hung up saying to themselves, “this is amazing, we are fortunate, this was a close call, Kissinger says we are going to be OK.”

Yes it is diplomacy. You will notice I did say something negative about the Chinese leadership at the end of my Nobel Foundation article. I must have been in a foul mood at the time and I was irritated by what the Chinese were doing at the time. But I did not really mean it, what I said about them, I think the Chinese are fantastic, I do not remember what they were doing that got me upset. I can criticize the Chinese government – and I do occasionally – but I have few complaints about them today. Everything is cool. What is not cool and what really outrages me however is what the Israeli government is now doing. And that is genocide of the Palestinians.

So I called up Michael Sohlman, at the time executive director of the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. I will republish the audio recording of this interview, as soon as I can get to it. My article accompanying the interview is pretty good. At least I think it is good. What is diplomacy? I have defined it, and I publish this image below.

Is the Nobel Foundation thinking about awarding me a Nobel Prize? I have recently been told by a friend on Wall Street – he's retired now – that I will get one. He's a billionaire, also Ashkenazi Jew. I will be brutally honest: I do not care whether I get one (or multiple prizes) or not. I do my work, whether I get praised or rewarded or not. I do not do what I do for any material or personal gain. I do it because this is what I do, it is what I am on the Earth for. At least it seems that way.

Most of the time my life has been something of a nightmare. Yes, I have been privileged and I do have a wonderful family and children. Ashkenazi Jews have however made my life a nightmare. Their criminality is sometimes – oftentimes – really excessive.
