MONGOLIAN EDITION NOW
PUBLISHED
Thanks
to the brothers Dulmaa Baatar and Hurelbaatar, the Mongolian edition was
published in by Munkhiin USEG Co. Ltd., in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia. Wrote
Baatar, "Hello, Ken. Your BOOK has been already published. We want to
congratulate you first."
And
from Hurelbaatar in Brussels, "Congratulations! I have just been informed
by my brother Baatar by the telephone that the book (JONATHAN GULLIBLE) has recently been publiched in Mongolia. We
are extremely glad that the book is published after long time our efforts. I
will keep in touch with you the further progress of your book in
Mongolia."
The
book is a beautiful translation with modified illustrations that are more akin
to local fashion and characters. I've already received some correspondence from
one reader, a former acquaintance. Wrote Ariunaa Aanjuu, "I read your book
which is translated in Mongolian. It was such a wonderful book about
Mongolia."

KOREAN EDITION NOW
PUBLISHED
K-mee Jung has just sent word that the Korean edition
is hot off the press, published by the renowned Moonwhamada Publishing Co. of
South Korea! Writes K-mee, "Dear Ken, Congratulations! JG is now published
in KOREA. Thank you for your trust and wait. Now I visit my parents' house in
Korea. Happy New Year!! (^-^)"
This edition of the book, very sophisticated and
without illustrations, clearly appeals to an intellectual audience. It is a
masterpiece of publishing craftmanship.
K-mee is now engaged in translating another work of mine, Shogun's Ghost: The Dark Side of Japanese
Education.

FRENCH EDITION NOW ON
LINE
"Here it is!" declared Louise Zizka in
announcing the on-line appearance of JG through Sieg Pedde's Phoenix Accrual
Corporation. Thus, the culmination of many years of dedicated work. Louise
translated the book into French and has made extraordinary efforts at finding a
publisher in a market that seems quite hostile to free market ideas.
My
daughter, Kenli, (who is now studying French) informs me that there are more
that 40 French speaking nations in the world. Having the French edition on-line
makes this free market odyssey accessible to a worldwide audience. The task yet
ahead is to market the French edition and, eventually, to find a publisher for
a hard copy edition. Helpful suggestions are always welcome.

KISWAHILI EDITION NOW
ON LINE, READIED FOR PUBLICATION
James Shikwati, Director of the Inter Region Economic
Network (IREN Kenya), has been building a fabulous free market think tank and
research policy organization for Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. James has
published regular columns in regional newspapers, hosted forums and seminars,
established youth theater and a Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE Kenya) team,
and has translated JG into Kiswahili, an indigenous language that reaches the
whole region.
With the help of Ginger Warbis (JG webmistress) and
Sieg Pedde, the translation is available with a link to the IREN web site and
to the e-publication of the Phoenix Accrual Corporation. Next will be the
published edition. Says James, "Are you aware that the AU declared
Kiswahili as one of its official langauges?? I hope the JG Kiswahili version
will roll out soon." After publishing the Kiswahili edition of The Law, James is arranging to have JG
published by the Free Market Foundation in South Africa.

FLASH ANIMATION:
ENGLISH, SPANISH, FRENCH, & PORTUGUESE
Kerry Pearson has performed a miracle with his flash
animation of the "Philosophy of Liberty" from epilogue to JG. The
response to his project drew a standing ovation at the ISIL World Conference at
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last summer. During the conference Judy Nagy, Kerry,
and others were able to complete the Spanish translation of the production. The
response to the animation, now on various websites, has been overwhelming. Some
recent comments:
"Excellent! I hope this seen by millions! I'm doing my part by forwarding it."
"The
movie on the philosiphy and liberty was the most moving and inspiring flash
movie or otherwise I have ever seen."
"Wonderful!
Inspiring! Thanks!"
"I was really moved by your movie."
"This
is GREAT! My sentiments exactly. Get it
out to all the school systems, churches, and government agencies of the world.
Thanks."
"I
just saw your Flash File and I want to thank you. I am near tears. It is so
beautiful, precise and easy to understand."
With
the help of Louise Zizka, Kerry completed the French edition of the flash
animation. And with the help of Gustavo Lacerda, Kerry is now about to complete
the Portuguese flash edition.
There
have been some discussions about a Dutch edition as well. Henry Sturman wrote,
"I just heard that Ronnie Jansen of libertarian.nl is already working on a
Dutch translation, which is great news."
If
possible, Kerry would be pleased to arrange this for all current and future
translations of the epilogue of JG.

FLASH ANIMATION ON
COSTA RICA TV NATIONWIDE WEEKLY
Kerry's flash animation has been most successful in
Costa Rica, where the party Movimiento Libertario has had made such phenomenal
electoral successes in the past few years. Raul Costales asked to use the JG
flash animation every week on their televised public issues program.
Said
Raul about this, "The name of the TV station is SINART, Channel 13 (here
they do not use the call letters similar to the U.S., such as W... in the East
Coast and K... in the western states. Its nationwide signal is the best among
Costa Rican stations, and, although it is still too early to judge
scientifically, the comments we have received so far are all excellent. We hope
to obtain the results of ratings studies early next year. Thank you again Ken,
and thank you also for the radio spots you sent us…!"
The
potential for this is wide open. From Frank Martin in New Mexico we received
these encouraging words:
"I
just saw your Flash File and I want to thank you. I am near tears. It is so
beautiful, precise and easy to understand…I know the producer of Hemp TV in
Albuquerque. He'd show it if we had a VHS video tape…Ideally, we'd have funds
to put it on big cable and broadcast TV. Any movement toward that kind of
fundraising?…I might also get it played in Honduras, since you have a Spanish
version. As VHS, it would also make a great sideshow at Operation Politically
Homeless booths.…Your video is the most engaging piece I have ever seen and is
easily the best bet for that role."

RADIO BROADCAST OF JG
EPISODES WEEKLY IN PHOENIX (SIFE)
The radio spots mentioned above are part of a journey
back to Jonathan Gullible's radio roots. The birth of JG began on radio in the
1980's with productions in Hawaii and in Alaska. The idea of revisiting this
popular medium was the brainchild of Phoenix attorney Dick Morris. Wrote Dick:
"I
have an idea re the recording of JG in segments to run on the radio. First of
all, if we can get them of high enough quality, most likely you can get
friendly radio stations across the country to run it as a regular short
feature. For example, KXEM runs 'the funnies,' a two-minute short, every day at
:15 past the hour. If not, then talk show hosts might run it."
With
the help of a team from the Students in Free Enterprise at Hawaii Pacific
University (SIFE@HPU),
recorded 22 short scripts, approximately 90-140 seconds each, for broadcast on
KXEM. Dick interviews notable figures, such as the recent guest Steve Forbes,
and sprinkles in free market pearls of wisdom from JG. The potential broadcast
market of KXEM is 3 million people.
Students
helping with the project were Geo Olsson, Ryan Segawa, Ron Corpuz, and the
university Communications Video Lab Manager, Mark Nitta. Ryan and Ron also
produced the JG Rap which can be heard, and downloaded with all other audio and
script material at: http://jonathangullible.com/media.htm These guys also have their own web site. We
are hoping to have the voice of Robin Hall in future productions, perhaps an
audio tape production of the entire book.
Proof
of the potential of this medium came with a letter from Phil Graf of Coast
Writers Syndicate. Wrote Phil, "Are the Jonathan Gullible radio spots
available for home groups? If we could convince our local radio station (AM
1350 - Santa Rosa) to play them, possibly as a part of a series of interviews
with Libertarian-minded guests, could we get your permission to do that? Also,
am I correct that there is a video version of Jonathan Gullible? If so, would
it be available for showing to home groups and/or on our local (free) cable
channel? Thanks for creating this outreach. I got the reference through Free
Sonoma Forum founder, John Howard."
Another
possible opportunity for JG is on Spanish radio programs in Arizona and Mexico.
For this we have a great enthusiast, Ricardo Valenzuela.

UK COMMENTARY EDITION,
DRAFT READIED AND SEEKING PUBLISHER
The most comprehensive JG project of all time is that
of Janette Eldridge in South Africa. Janette has already developed a second
draft edition filled with an annotated commentary for each chapter of the JG
book, including recommended readings and web sites for further information. It
is brilliantly conceived and thoroughly researched. Writes Janette:
Main
objective: To make available a
book which gives people in SA, Britain, and ex-British colonies a alternative
choice from socialist thinking, and, if they are interested, to lead them to
free market books (very few available
here) and websites where they can explore for themselves and know that there
are a lot of people who are willing to exchange ideas on these subjects.
Date: To get
it out before the next election (next March, maybe?). This is when people
are hyper-aware of politicians, voting, and the implication these have on their
pocketbooks and their lives. After the elections the hype dies away and people
resign themselves and turn to the getting on with the lives.
If
possible before the ISIL World Convention in Lithuania this coming July! After
the elections the book would be of interest mostly to those studying free
markets.
Distribution: It would have to be in the shops before the election to really make an
impact. And before Christmas would be good for sales.
Apparently
there are about 500 book stores in SA (mostly in rural areas). Aim is to get a
few in each - and I think this is where a publisher would stop. But I
would like to see copies in school and varsity libraries. High aims,
but why not. I know it will take time, but this part does not have to be
achieved before the elections. A Libertarian friend has offered to do the
translation into Afrikaans. I have been waiting to finish the commentaries and
also to find out whether the eventual publisher would want to use their own
translator. With the Afrikaans people wanting their own language and culture
kept intact JG should go down well. It might help with distribution and sales
if the two were done together. Then, if we can run a competition as Barry
Kayton suggested, this should get schools interested. If we get a sponsor for
the top prize of R10,000 I think we should open it to everyone, not just school
children. The other distribution point is other countries.
Janette has the very capable technical and design
assistance of Barry Kayton of Leap Publishing to put JG/UK into professional
form. And, as yet, Janette is still on the prowl for sponsors and/or publishers
who are willing to commit to the project.

NEXT
CROATIAN, MACEDONIAN, ALBANIAN, MONTENEGRAN, BULGARIAN
The one person responsible for more translations of
JG than any other is the indomintable champion of human rights, Tomislav
Krsmanovic. Without Tomislav there would have been no projects accomplished in
Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia, or Albania. Nor would there be an edition
for Gypsy (Romany), the seventh largest ethnic group spanning Eastern Europe.
This one-man juggernaut of freedom is on the move
once again. Tomislav has reproduced electronic editions for Serbian, Gypsy, and
Slovenian on his web site: http://solair.eunet.yu/~isil/ajg.html He will soon place e-versions on this site
for Croatian, Macedonian, and Albanian. He has also been pursuing publishers in
Bulgaria and Montenegro for further opportunities.
Here is a man who has faced all the obstacles of the
turmoil in Eastern Europe. While great strides have been made toward freedom in
the Balkans, there are still some vile thugs who have persistently harassed
Tomislav at nearly every turn. Tomislav is a hero of the highest order who
deserves support from every friend of liberty.

SOMALI EDITION, FIRST
HALF ON LINE
It is with great pleasure that I announce that the
first 17 chapters of the Somali edition of JG are now on line. Faisal Hassan
has been working on a translation for some time, diligently striving to find a
publisher to serialize the book or sponsors for a complete edition. In the
meantime, we present a tantalizing introduction on the JG web site: http://jonathangullible.com/languages.htm Comments Faisal, "I think we can
start for free so that Somali readers get into liberty and free
markets. Later, when we publish and we might sell it to the readers."

RUSSIAN SECOND EDITION
ON LINE, THIRD EDITION TO BE PUBLISHED
Elena
Rakova, the principal genius at the Research Center of the Institute for
Privatization and Management in Minsk, Belarus, recently informed me of the
good news that Jaroslav Romanchuk has found an opportunity to publish the
latest edition of JG in Russian.
It
was Dmitry Costygin and William Milonov who published the first edition in St.
Petersburg more than ten years ago. Then Kenneth DeGraaf and Elena Mamontova translated the second edition, which
Jaroslav placed on his web site: www.liberty-belarus.orgNow
Jaroslav has found an opportunity to publish a hard copy of the 2001 edition.
Says Jaroslav, "Thank you so much for the honor and privilege to publish
your book. I got in touch with one entrepreneur who is interested in this sort
of
activity. Thank you for sending the book. I will use
the Russian translation from my web site and I will translate the additional
chapters myself.

Through the SIFE team at HPU, contact was made with a
SIFE team in Kyrgyzstan. The leader of that team, Zarina Osmonalieva, is now
the manager for all SIFE teams in Kyrgyzstan. Zarina has been a great manager
for the Kyrgyz edition of JG as well. Reports Zarina, "We will print 1000
copies of JG. There were some problems with editing it. Different people use
various styles, and the book was edited by
three people. I have
found two guys that are working on development of JG, they will be lecturing at
schools in April. We decided to sell about 800 copies of the
book and then develop
JG (lecturing at schools, organizing contests, etc)."

URDU EDITION
TRANSLATED, SEEKING PUBLISHER/SPONSORS
Dr. Khalil Ahmad is the
founder of the Free Pakistan Newsletter, an excellent source for free market
activism in Pakistan. Khalil recently sent this news, "The Urdu version of
JG has been composed and I have started proofreading and finalizing it. A
friend of mine is coming to the US and I have given him a CD containing the
Urdu software in which Urdu JG has been composed. He will post it to you."
Sponsors are being sought for the ISIL JG Fund. With approximately
$1500 in contributions, it is expected that we will have an Urdu edition of JG
to help Khalil in education of free market ideas. For more on free market

LITHUANIA/BELARUS
EASTERN EUROPE ENGLISH LIBERTY CAMP
Founded by Steve Browne and Virgis Daukas, the
Liberty English Camp has long been a summer experience for those in Eastern
Europe who take training in the English language by way of free market
literature. JG, ideally suited for skits, theatrics, and discussions, has been
one of the fundamental pieces of literature in this program since its
inception. This year the program moves Minsk, Belarus (July 30 to June 6) in
preparation for the World Conference of ISIL and the Lithuanian Free Market
Institute (June 7-11). This year's activities are being organized by Kevin
Bjornson and Dzmytri.
Reports
Kevin: "Through Nikolai Wenzel of the Atlas Economic Research Foundation,
I've been able to recruit two university teachers, one from Estonia and
one from Great
Britain…If you agree to teach, we would have two American
teachers, two teachers
of Atlas classes, and two non-native English speakers who are professional
teachers in the region…After discussing the schedule with a student from last
year, I recommend four 50 minute classes/day….Let us say we have 30 students
and more if there is enough funding. That would be 5 students/class, a good
size that allows for each student to perform frequently… Last year we recruited
students from Belarus and Ukraine."

INDIA/HIMALAYAN
LANGUAGE OF LIBERTY SUMMER CAMP
Another camp that is starting this year, with much
the same purpose is that of Barun Mitra, Director of the Liberty Institute, New
Delhi, India, www.libertyindia.org .
Barun has translated JG into Bengali and has been preparing such literature for
the teaching of English and free market ideas. The new Language of Liberty
Summer Camp (May 14-15) at Satauli Village in the Himalayas has these
objectives:
"The
purpose of this summer camp is to try out an interactive way of learning
English that might break the children’s fear of the language. So while they are
not expected to read, write or speak perfect English after a month long camp,
it is expected that the students are more comfortable in using English as an
effective medium of communication. To sustain the interest of the students in
the language, so that they pursue it with greater clarity long after the camp
is over, an attempt would be made to expose students to a whole new world that
would open to them…Finally, language is
a means of communicating ideas. And the most important ideas that help shape a
person's values are the ideals of liberty and enterprise. So the course would
seek to introduce the ideas of liberty through the teaching of English. The aim
of the camp is not only to strive to improve their functional skills in
English, but also to impart a sense of values that will equip students to take
advantage of a globalised society where English automatically opens up
opportunities."

ESTONIAN TRANSLATION IN
PROGRESS
Paul
Vahur, a free market activist in Tallinn and founder of the Estonian Liberal
Club "Nahtamatu Kasi" (invisible hand in Estonian) has taken up
numerous free market literary projects. Says Paul, "We are in the early
stages of creating a non-profit organization with the aim to translate 'easier'
books about capitalism and
free market into
Estonian. The first book would be JG, then probably Mary Ruwart's 'Healing Our
World,' Johan Nordberg's 'In Defense of Global Capitalism,' and Bastiat's 'The
Law.' If you know of any organizations that are willing to fund such projects,
please let me know. I
and my companions have rather extensive contacts at home and abroad, but new
information is always welcomed…The flash animation about Philosophy of Liberty
is very cool! We will translate it and put it up on JG's Estonian site when we
finish it!"
Paul will be attending the ISIL convention in
Lithuania this summer.

JG QUIZ SHOW, AUDIO
TAPE, & STUDENTS IN FREE ENTERPRISE (SIFE)
Mary Disbrow, co-President of the Students in Free
Enterprise at Hawaii Pacific University (SIFE@HPU) has produced a power point
version similar to the popular TV game show, Jeopardy, as a technique for
quizing college students on the JG book in Principles of Macroeconomics
classes. With student assistants Jesse Murray, Andy Jacob, and Benedikt Goetz
(founder of the First Global SIFE Project) the game has been a great success.
Reports
Mary, "Here is a power point presentation that I made up for the
jeopardy. I think it works, and that
this will be a lot of fun. The
presentation contains three questions for each chapter. If the game runs too
long I will stop it early, give the rest of the answers to the particular quiz given
out, and then award the winning team. I would also like to use the buzzers
because I think that makes the game more intense. We can just divide the class
up into two or three groups, depending on how many buzzers available, and they
can sit in a circle and see who buzzes in the fastest. We can award the winner at the end. I hope
you enjoy the presentation."
Other students and collaborators are in the planning
stages of producing JG into an audio tape. Stay tuned!
The SIFE@HPU team is
eager to pursue global projects with other teams. In the last two years this
team won a semifinalist place among the top 16 in the nation.

PROJECT INQUIRIES:
MALAYSIAN, NEPALESE, VIETNAMESE, ARABIC
One former student, Y.C. Liew, is now the Acting
Coordinator for the Foundation Studies Programme at Han Chiang College in
Malaysia. Other contacts have been made with Ram
Prasad Paudel, Director, Intel Institute, Kathmandu, Nepal; Bach Tan Sinh, Ph.D.,
Deputy-Director of the Department of Science Policy Studies, National Institute
for Science and Technology Policy and Strategy Studies, in Hanoi, Vietnam, and Charles
E. (Ted) Bradford. We hope that all of these inquiries will lead eventually to
more educational publications on free market economics.
SPONSORS:
In many wealthier countries of the world, JG has been
willingly and eagerly adopted by motivated publishing houses. Publishers worldwide
know that long experience with relatively free markets does not necessarily give
people an appreciation for the underlying principles of prosperity and liberty.
In less wealthy countries, there is a keen awareness of the importance of free
markets, but publication is sometimes costly, as is the maintenance of our web
site. In this case, sponsors are always welcome.
I am especially grateful to Michael J. LeCompte for
his recent contribution of $2000 and to Dagny Sharon for her contribution of
$500 to the JG Fund. And of course, this educational project would never have
been realized without the support of Sam Slom and Small Business Hawaii.
