Chou Founder, Formosa Statehood Movement (an organization devoted at this stage to making Taiwan an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States) ========================================================== You may not know this part ? All steps leave traces Let the truth and evidence talk, which is most scientific; it is immoral to fabricate false stories The full story why Richard W. Hartzell, Roger Lin, and David Chou developed diverse paths The founder of the statehood movement
organization was Mr. David Wei-Lin Chou (originally Chen-Chien Chou. The Formosan Statehood Movement was initiated in 1994 by The 51st Club , Taiwan , an organization established by 51 Taiwanese overseas students in America . The Formosan Statehood Movement proposed a three-step integration process with the U.S. through referendum in Taiwan so that Taiwan can eventually become one state of the U.S. Mr. David Chou was born in Yunlin on August 8th, 1949 and graduated from the Hu Wei Junior High School, Chien Guo Senior High School , Taipei , Department of Law from Chung Hsing University Law and Business School (now Taipei University ), master’s degree in law from Pennsylvania State University Dickinson Law School , and research fellow at New York University Law School . Work experience: general manager at Cheng Chang Plastic Products Company, general manager
and CEO of Taiwan and U.S. Fly witch, office director at the parliament office of Former legislator Kang Ning-Hsiang, executive director at DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) Yulin branch, founder of The Formosan Statehood Movement. In 1998, David Chou wrote An Appointment with America (published by Global Village Bookstore), An American Dream…. If the trusteeship of Taiwan goes to America in 1945, Wei-Lin Chou Autobiography (all yet to be published); Self-help booklet for Taiwanese People, Self-help book for Taiwanese People and many other essays and articles. In 1995, David visited me in person at the Parents Society of Overseas Students (PSOS), Taiwan . explaining to and telling me the story of his devotion to let Taiwan become a state of the U.S. The reason of his visit is because the people at the association I serve are all parents of Taiwanese overseas young students and for these parents who are
able to send their children to study aboard, many of them have U.S. green card or citizenship. These parents will be glad to see it happen if Taiwan can really become a state of the U.S. Moreover, I have worked for a fairly long time at Taipei Air Station, US Air Force, the Military Assistance Advisory Group and was deeply impressed by the American administration system, management system, democracy, freedom, human rights and law. I am deeply influenced by American culture since I worked with Americans for a long period of time since I was young. As a result, when David visited me in person and mentioned the Formosan Statehood, I expressed my consent and support immediately. Since then, in addition to introducing the belief of Formosan Statehood to the parents of the association, I joined David Chou and other supporters to visit AIT for various kinds of petitions for several times and also to express appreciation for America’s long term protection of
Taiwan’s safety. On May 29th, 1996, China Times ran a full page article on page 33 with enlarged fonts in the title: “Slogan of the 51 Club: Neither unification nor independence, let’s become Americans and let Taiwan be a state of the U.S. ” The report also included an interview with me for my thoughts and perspectives. Some of the young overseas students had military service problem which had to be resolved through administrative litigation and part of the problem was handled by Richard W. Hartzell, who has been involved in international human rights for a long period of time. Therefore, I had the chance to discuss with Mr. Hartzell certain issues including bureaucrat and outdated concepts of the Taiwan administration system as well as political issues such as the future status of Taiwan . Mr. Hartzell and I talked about anything and everything. One day in 1999, during a discussion of
various topics, I said to Mr. Hartzell, half jokingly, “It seems that Taiwan is the land of America , sir.” Mr. Hartzell promptly replied: “How could that be possible. Don’t say nonsense, that is impossible!” I did not say much but said to him half jokingly: “Since you are free and have not much to do in Taiwan , you can find some time to research on it.” Out of my expectation, what I said half jokingly made Mr. Hartzell dive into a five-year research with devoted and detailed work. One day in 2004, out of my surprise, Mr. Hartzell told me himself: “Hey, Johnny (my English name), what you told me that Taiwan seems to be a land of America , indeed it is true.” I was a bit surprised and asked Mr. Hartzell: “Didn’t you say it is impossible?” Surprisingly he replied with ease: “Didn’t you ask me to research on it?” Gosh! I have never thought that this American friend was so serious
and devoted. He further told me that he sent the English version of his research “Understanding the San Francisco Peace Treaty’s Disposition of Formosa and the Pescadors” to Harvard University in the U.S. The Harvard University appointed several scholars and specialist to study and research it and published his/ their research paper in Harvard University ’s Asian Quarter Journal. After that, Mr. Hartzell published his devoted bilingual research papers in Taiwan News and other English and Chinese newspapers, leading to great attention and response from all sectors. On November 27th, 2004, based on the description of Mr. Richard W. Hartzell, Mr. Hartzell was invited by former president Lee Teng-hui to a banquet, other guests included then well-known media analyst Wang Ben-Hu, professor Chin Heng-Wei, Ms. Chiang Hsia, Mr. Chen Li-Hong, Ms. Huang Kuang-Chin, Ms. Chou Yu-Kou, Mr. Chu Li-Hsi , and Mr.
Yang Hsian-Hong (whose stance in speech is extremely different from before). Former President Lee mentioned to the guests from the media to read the article written by this American about the history of Taiwan . March 21st, 2005, as a response to the National People's Congress passing the Anti-Secession Law, Taiwan Society North invited pro-Taiwan organizations to discuss ways to counteract. After the meeting, Mr. Roger Lin asked if I know an American named Richard W. Hartzell. I replied and said: “he is one of my close friends.” Mr. Lin hoped that I could arrange them to meet as soon as possible. On that very night, I invited Mr. Hartzell to meet with Mr. Roger Lin for the first time at the coffee store at the Magnolia Hotel on Dunhua North Road in Taipei . On that day I also invited Dr. Yang Dong-Chieh, former head of the Taiwan Independence Party, Mr. Hou Ching-Yao, former president of the Taipei
County Confederation of Trade Unions (台北縣產業總工會) (Mr. Hou did not know Mr. Roger Lin from Taiwan Society North) and others friends from the social movement sector. Mr. Hartzell and Mr. Lin had a great talk and wished them could have met earlier. As a result of their discussion, both agreed that Mr. Hartzell’s essay, which was from his many years of devoted writing, should be published in major newspapers. However, out of the consideration that Mr. Hartzell was after all an American, who looked different from Taiwanese, in order to diminish Taiwan people’s misunderstanding and worry that Mr. Hartzell was sent by CIA from the U.S. and had an intention to sell Taiwan, I suggested that Mr. Richard W. Hartzell should consider using the names of Mr. Roger Lin and himself to publish in all major newspapers and magazines the masterpiece which he poured his heart and soul into. Mr. Richard W. Hartzell felt the same way too.
Soon after Mr. Roger Lin and Mr. Hartzell met each other on March 21st, 2005, Mr. Roger Lin contemplated and mentioned that for the movement to develop effectively, the forces in the social movement sectors should be united, especially it should include Mr. David Chou, founder of the Formosan Statehood. He asked me to be proactively contact Mr. Chou, hoping to meet with Mr. Chou as soon as possible. Hence, I arranged Mr. Lin, Mr. Hartzell to meet with Mr. Chou who came all the way from Yunlin to Taipei at a second-floor coffee shop across the Taipei Central Station. Among those who were present were Mr. Aaron Diun, vice president of Overseas Taiwan Elite Association, Mr. Joseph Wang, who was studying in North East University in Boston . Both of them soon left and it was Lin, Hartzell, Chou, and I who had a detailed talk. In conclusion, Lin and Hartzell wished that Mr. Chou do not talk about 51th state from
then on; Lin and Hartzell even hinted that it would be best if Chou do not continue with the promotion of 51 state. At that moment I said to Lin, Hartzell, and Chou: We should respect the fact that each person has a different stand and from now on we should work on our own, like brothers climbing the mountain, we don’t need to have the same path as long as our goal is the same. As long as Taiwan can have a better future, we in fact have a lot of space for collaboration. David Chou of course did not agree with Hartzell and Roger Lin’s request, on the contrary he believed that for the U.S. government to find a better reason to accept Hartzell’s theory and claim, we should let the U.S. know that Formosan statehood had strong and solid support from the people, therefore we should work harder to promote Formosan statehood. The four of us parted and left at that point. Two weeks later, I received a phone
call from Mr. Lin Wen-Hua, a well known person in Taiwan ’s social movement sector and a famous physically challenged writer. He mentioned that a famous Taiwan political commentator with the pen name Yun-Cheng slightly complained about Mr. Roger Lin, who in The Key Report of Taiwan U.S. Relationship(台美關係關鍵報告) cited his article without his consent. After knowing the situation, Mr. Roger Lin asked me to arrange a meeting with Mr. Yun-Cheng as soon as possible to apologize. Through the earnest arrangement of well-known writer Mr. Lin Wen-Hua, it was set for me to accompany Mr. Roger Lin to visit Mr. Lin Wen-Hua and Mrs. Lin at their house in Sizhi on the third day to apologize to Mr. Yun-Cheng in person. Mr. Richard W. Hartzell, who went there by himself, was also present that day. When Mr. Roger Lin and I entered the living room after arriving at Mr. Lin Wen-Hua’s house, Mr. Yun-Cheng got there way before us. After I introduced Mr.
Chih-Sheng Lin to Mr. Wen-Hua and Mr. Yen-Cheng, Mr. Wen-Hua said to Mr. Roger Lin in a very serious tone: “Mr. Lin, please don’t rush to tell us how much you love Taiwan . You have been doing business in China for so many years, how do we know your true purpose for coming back here? So we will have to observe you for a period of time before any thing else.” Everyone knew that Mr. Lin Wen-Hua was an upright man of feeling and was straight forward in his talking. The words made me, who accompanied Mr. Roger Lin, feel embarrassed yet I agree with what he said, I quickly smoothed things over to create a more relaxed atmosphere. In addition to taking this opportunity to apologize to Mr. Yun-Cheng, Mr. Roger Lin also listed to some of his valuable advice. With the understanding of Mr. Yun-Cheng and after a few cups of fine tea from Mrs. Lin, we expressed our appreciation and left. After the above
incidence, Lin and Hartzell published The Key Report of Taiwan U.S. Relationship(台美關係關鍵報告) with both of their names listed and planned to hold one hundred speeches across Taiwan to promote the movement of the belief. Since organizing talks around Taiwan would need some staff and basic team for venue set up, I invited a few close friends and comrades in the social movement sector including Mr. Hou Ching-Yao, Mr. Yeh Yao-Chi, Mr. Lee Chang-Cheng, Mr. Yang Yang-Long, Mr. Liao Chiu-Fu, Mr. Yang Cheng-Shan, Mr. Chang Yung-Sui to take turns to support the set up work of the talk arenas in central and southern Taiwan. Everyone paid out of their own pockets for the food, accommodation, and transportation. No one complained, thinking only about how to push the movement forward. The first talk was at the King’s Hotel, Nanking E. Road, Taipei, and second tlak was at Taipei Human Resource Center
(台北人力資源中心), then moved on to Chiayi, Kaohsiung, Tainan, and the fifth talk was in Taichung, which was fully supported by the Taiwan Defense Alliance. My personal guessing is that because Mr. Roger Lin wished to combine with the power of the pro-independence camp to effectively push forward the movement, it became obvious that the content of the talk gradually lean toward the direction of clarifying the Taiwan U.S. relationship after 1945 to be the purpose of Taiwan independence. Personally I think if Taiwan becomes independent at this current stage, it would not conform to America ’s interest in Asia; great difficulty and opposition could be foreseen, apparently, Taiwan independence is impossible at this stage. From my personal judgment, Taiwan independence is the dream for most Taiwanese after all, the U.S. might accept it eventually but not now, because almost half of the current 23 million Taiwanese people hope to be unified with
China . If Taiwan becomes independent at this stage, it is hard to guarantee that Taiwan will not shift its love and fall quickly in the hands of China and to be united with it. Once Taiwan fall into the hands of China , it will influence the safety and prosperity of the entire Asia Pacific area. This will not only go against with the interest of the U.S. but will also cause an impact on the defense security of Japan and the western Pacific region. Instead of being unified with China , why not, through a referendum, let Taiwan be unified with the U.S. first and have both sides sign a sunset clause and let the future Taiwan generation to decide their needs after fifty years? Since after 50 years, those unruly who support unification with China will all be gone, at that time, the ideology that identifies with Taiwan will grow stronger and more cohesive; there will be no more worries about unification with China or its sequela and Taiwan can truly enjoy
long term peace and stability. Otherwise, what meaning does it have if independence is done through ignoring the safety of the people and their families, the safety of lives and property? Without security there is nothing, needless to mention dignity. Since everyone is fighting for Taiwan with the shared goal, it is fine to have diverse paths and it is unnecessary to counteract with each other or undermine each other’s strength and power. As long as it can benefit Taiwan and make Taiwan better, isn’t this the shared original intention of everyone? One should not be attached to the idea that success can only belong to me; we should give up our prejudices and work together for Taiwan ’s great future, peace, and prosperity. Why do we rush to kill each other when we share the same root? The right and wrong in future history will be judged and evaluation by the later generations. ◎Ms. Shirley Chen,
president of Friends of Lee Teng-hui’s Association, Taipei, has also told me herself, when Roger Lin asked her to present him to former president Lee Teng-hui, former president Lee requested Ms. Shirley Chen to first bring Roger Lin to the temples to take an oath. Ms. Shirley Chen did bring Roger Lin to take an oath at the Hsing Tian Temple (also called En Zu Temple) on Minquan E. Road and Roger Lin did swear publicly at the Hsing Tian Temple that he will not betray former president Lee Teng-hui and Taiwan . Roger Lin was able to see former president Lee Teng-hui afterwards. Did Roger Lin break his oath that he took at the Hsing Tian Temple ? The society shall have a fair judgment. ◎Here, I would also like to suggest those who are still glorifying Mr. Roger Lin and who demonstrate the role of an indicator figure to master a little self-control. There was a righteous teacher named Hsiao Siao-Ling who was
fired by Taipei mayor Hau Lung-Bin because she insisted the “one outline, multiple text book” policy. She lost her lawsuit against Taipei mayor Hau Lung-Bin and was once misled by the TCG (Taiwan Civil Government) to believe that the problem could be resolved through U.S. judicature. She and her husband, who was a doctor devoted to social public affairs, were cheated and lost a lot of money. The aunt of Dr. Cheng Chong-Mo, former vice president of the Judicial Yuan, was over 80 years old and was also cheated and lost several hundred thousand dollars. The kind aunt gave me the receipt of her partial donation. There are countless fraud cases like this and the list goes on and on. Don’t those who are in charge of TCG and many of the senior officers and ministers have to clarify the issue, out of their social responsibility, for the society and the general public? ◎I have also heard some people say: I
was once in the group of Roger Lin yet parted with them due to struggle of power. Anyone who read the above will understand the truth of the fact. Without Mr. David Chou, there will not be me, Johnny Huang; without me, Johnny Huang, there will not be Richard W. Hartzell; without Richard W. Hartzell, there will not be Mr. Roger Lin; and without Mr. Roger Lin, there will not be this story today. People are social animals, every person, including myself, have advantages and disadvantages. How would you know the true look of a person if you are not with them day and night or work with them for a period of time? One shall not just look at the surface of a matter or just listen to what others say; one shall have deep understanding take on the social responsibility. Everything requires hard evidence; one shall argue with logic and reason and one shall not be unreasonable when one is in the wrong position. These are the principles of a person and are the
essential elements to be a person. Otherwise, will you have a peace of mind and can you sleep at night? Johnny Y.C. Huang Secretary General Parents Society of Overseas Students (PSOS). Taiwan E-Mail: ps...@ms12.hinet.net

「凡走過必留下痕跡，讓事實與證據說話最具科學，捏造不實太不道德: 何瑞元、林志昇和周威霖為何衍生路線不同之始末」 建州運動組織召集人周威霖先生(本名周振堅)David Chou，於1994年由在美國的51位留學生所共同成立的【51俱樂部】(The 51st Club, Taiwan)，創立與發起【台灣建州運動】(The Formosan Statehood Movement)，主張由台灣人民透過公投，與美國進行三階段整合，並最終成為美國的一州。 周威霖先生(David)出生於雲林，生於1949年8月8日，虎尾中學初中，建國中學高中，中興(現改為台北大學)大學法商學院法律系，美國賓州州立大學(Pennsylvania State University) Dickinsin Law School法學碩士，紐約大學法學院(New York University Law School)研究。 經歷：正昌塑膠產品公司總經理，台灣與美國Flywitch公司總經理兼總裁，康寧祥立委國會辦公室主任，民進黨雲林縣黨部執行長，台灣建州運動創始人。David周於1998年著有【與美國有約】一書，由國際村文庫書店出版)、【美國夢.........如果1945年美國託管台灣】、【周威霖自傳】(均尚未出版)、【台灣人民自救手冊】、【台灣人民自救讀本】以及其它許\多論文和說帖。 David於1995年親至本人服務的台灣【當時叫中華民國】小留學生家長協進會拜訪我，向我說明並提及他在推動讓台灣成為美國的一州之始末，他之所以拜訪我的目的，乃我所服務的協會都是台灣小留學生家長，這些有能力把小孩送出國的小留學生家長，已經有很多人早就有美國綠卡或是美國公民身份，倘若真能把台灣變成美國的一州，這些家長一定樂觀其成，加上個人早期亦曾在美軍顧問團工作相當長一段時間，對美國行政體系及各種管理(Management)制度，以及民主自由，人權法治留下極深刻印象，個人因為年輕時即長期和美國人一起共事，受美國文化影響甚深，因此、當David親自到我辦公室談及建州一事時，個人即深表贊同與支持。從此以後，個人除了透過協會內部資訊管道不斷向本會留學生家長大力介紹建州信念之外
，亦陸續和周先生等部份志同道合支持者數度到美國在台協會(AIT)舉辦各項請願和感謝美國長期保護台灣安全的活動。 1996年5月29日中國時報更以斗大的標題，在第33版以全頁刊登出【51俱樂部口號：不統不獨，大家來當美國人，把台灣變成美國的一州】。其中內容亦包括訪問本人一些意見和觀點報導。 本會因部份小留學生兵役問題，須經由行政訴頌解決問題，部份委由長期從事國際人權工作的何瑞元先生幫忙處理，因此、讓本人有機會經 常與何 先生討論包括台灣行政體系的官僚和落伍觀念等問題，以及台灣未來地位何去何從等政治議題，我與何先生可以說是無所不談，言無不盡。在1999年的某一天，我和何先生亦是在一次的討論各種問題的當中，以半開玩笑的口氣
向何先生說：『台灣好像是您們美國的土地』。 何 先生隨即回我說：怎麼可能？別亂說，不可能啦！我亦沒有刻意多說，只以半開玩向他說：『反正您閒著沒啥事，不妨找時間研究一下』。 沒想到這麼一句半開玩笑的話，竟讓何先生一頭栽進去用盡心思，抽絲剝繭仔細研究了大約五個年頭，2004年的有一天，何先生竟然親自告訴我說：ㄟ，Johnny(我的英文名字)，您之前告訴我台灣好像是我們美國的土地那件事，的確是真的。我當時頓覺有點驚訝，反問何先生：您不是說不可能嗎？他竟然以極輕鬆回我一句：您不是說要我去研究看看嗎？天啊！我萬萬想不到這位美國友人竟然這麼認真和執著，他並且還告訴我，他把他自己研究的「了解舊金山和平條約對台灣澎湖之處置Understanding the San
Francisco Peace Treaty’s Disposition of Formosa and the Pescadors」英文版寄去美國哈佛大學，哈佛大學並指派多位學者專家進行研究，之後將它的研究報告刊登在哈佛大學的亞洲季刊。之後何先生更是不斷的將他精心研究和撰述的中英文文章，陸續分別在Taiwan News和其它中英文報紙發表，引起各界相當熱烈的注目與迴響。 2004年11月27日，根據何瑞元先生的轉述，當天前總統李登輝先生宴請他，其它與會來賓有當時本土著名媒體人士汪笨湖先生、金恆煒教授、江霞女士、陳力宏先生、黃光芩小姐、周玉冦小姐、朱立熙先生、楊憲宏(近來言論立場與昔日顯有極大差異)等人。李前總統並在宴會中特別向這些媒體人士提及應多閱\讀這位美國人所寫的有關台灣身世的文章......云云。 2005年3月21日，台灣北社因應中國人大委員會通過反國家分裂法，邀集本土社團開會討論如何因應及反制之道，會後林志昇先生問我是否認識一位美國人叫何瑞元元先生的？我答說：是我很熟的朋友，林先生希望我能夠儘快安排他們兩人見面，我隨即在當天晚上約了何先生在台北敦化北路的中泰賓館一樓咖啡廳與林先生第一次的碰面，當天我還邀了前建國黨大老楊東傑醫師，前台北縣產業總工會理事長侯晴耀先生(侯先生並非在北社與林志昇先生認識的)等多位社運界朋友。當晚何林兩人在中泰賓館相見甚歡，大有相見恨晚之憾，林何見面後討論結果，兩人都同意何先生多年來精心著作的論文應該透過各大報大力發表，但是、個人因為考慮何先生畢竟是美國人，長相與一般的台灣人不一樣，為了消彌台灣人可能誤解何先生
會不會是美國中央情報局(CIA)派來潛伏台灣，企圖把台灣賣掉的疑慮，個人當時即建議何瑞元先生考慮將其多年來嘔心瀝血的精心巨作，均以林志昇先生和何瑞元先生二人共同聯名在各大報章雜誌發表，何瑞元先生亦頗有同感。 在2005年3月21日林何見面後沒多久，林志昇先生亦念及這個運動若要有效推動，宜結合社會各社運界的力量，尤其是更應結合包括台灣建州創始人周威霖先生，他亦請我積極聯繫，期以最快的時間內 能和周 先生見面，於是我又安排了林何二人與專程自雲林北上的周先生在台北火車站對面的一家二樓咖啡店見面，當天在場的還有【海外蕃薯精英協會】副會長Mr. Aaron Diun，以及另一位當時尚就讀North East University, Boston的Mr. Joseph
Wang，只是事後它們二人都先行離開。林、何、周和我本人詳談許\久，結論是林何二人希望 周 先生今後不要再講51州，林何二人更暗示周最好勿再繼續推動51建州，本人當下即對林何以及周等三人說：我們應該尊重每個人都能有不同的主張，今後大家應該秉持兄弟登山，各自努力，只要大家的共同目標一致，路線不一定要一樣，只要台灣未來能更好，其實大家都還有很多合作的空間，周威霖當然也沒有同意何林二人的要求，他反而認為，若要美國政府找到更好的理由，接那何的理論與主張，那就更應該先讓美國知道台灣建州在台灣有堅實的民意支持基楚，因此大家更應努力推動建州，至此我們四人即分手各自離開。 二星期後，本人接獲台灣社運界聞人，著名殘障作 家林文華
先生在電話中提及，有位筆名 雲程 先生，亦是一位台灣名政論家，對 林志昇 先生事先未經其同意，就引用其著作的文章刊登於「台美關係關鍵報告」有點微詞， 林志昇 先生得知後，即希望本人儘速安排與 雲程 先生會面，表達歉意，在著名作 家林文華 先生的熱心安排之下，終於約定第三天由本人陪同 林志昇 先生前往汐止 林文華 先生夫婦家，當面 向雲程 先生致歉，當天在場的還有獨自前往 林文華 先生家的 何瑞元 先生，就在我 和林志昇 先生抵達 林文華 先生家，進入客廳後， 雲程 先生亦早已抵達，在我逐一向文華兄 暨雲程 先生介紹 林志昇 先生後，文華兄即以非常嚴肅的口吻 向林志昇 先生說：「 林
先生，請您先別告訴我們您有多麼愛台灣，您在中國經商那麼多年，我們如何知道您回來的真正目的是什麼？所以、我們須要觀察您一段時間再說」。眾所皆知，文華兄是一位非常剛正不阿的性情中人，有話總是直說，不會拐灣抹角，比較心直口快，這些話一出，頓時讓我這位陪同 林志昇 先生一起來的人，雖略顯尷尬，但亦認為文華兄所言甚是，當下趕緊打圓場緩和一點氣氛。 林志昇 先生除了藉此機會當面 向雲程 先生道歉以外，亦聽取了 雲程 先生一些寶貴的意見，在取得 雲程 先生的諒解以及喝下 文華兄嫂 夫人泡的好幾泡精品茗茶後，即道謝告辭。 在此一事件告一段落後，林何二人聯名出版一本『台美關係關鍵報告』，隨即計劃到全台灣各縣市舉辦一百場演講，傳播此一理念的運動，由於到全台灣各地舉辦演講活動總須要一些演講場地布置工作人員和基本班底，於是本人邀集了幾位要好的運動界同志， 侯晴耀先生、 葉燿枝 先生、 李常政 先生、 楊楊龍 先生、 廖秋夫 先生、 楊振山 先生、 張永水 先生等好友，分別輪流前往中南部支援演講場的布置工作，所有食、宿、交通費等費用，都是每個人自掏腰包，大家亦都沒有怨言，只一心想把這個運動推出去。 演講會從第一場的台北人力資源中心、嘉義、高雄、台南、到台中的第五場因為是由保護台灣大聯盟全力動員支持，個人猜測可能是 林志昇
先生希望能夠結合獨派的力量，期有效推動此一運動，演講的內容逐漸明顯偏向希望藉由與美國釐清台美自1945年以來的台美關係，作為台灣獨立的目的，個人覺得現階段台灣若獨立，不符美國在亞洲的利益，倍極艱困的高難度和龐大阻力可以預見，台獨在現階段顯然不可能。依個人判斷，台灣獨立終究是大多數台灣人的夢，美國最終亦可能會接受，但不是現在，因為目前2,300萬的台灣人，有將近一半的人希望和中國統一，倘現階段讓台灣獨立，難保台灣不會移情別戀，很快的落入中國手裡和中國統一，一旦台灣落入中國手中，勢將影響整個亞太地區的安全和穩定繁榮，這不但違反美國的利益，亦影響包括日本，以及西太平洋地區的防衛安全，與其和中國統一，何不透過公投讓台灣先和美國統一，雙方簽訂一個落日條款，待
50年後再由台灣後代子孫決定它們的須要。因為、50年後，支持和中國統一的頑劣份子都已不在人世間，屆時認同本土的意識更趨凝聚，已無和中國統一的陰霾或是後遺症之隱憂，這才能真正讓台灣長治久安，否則、僅僅為了獨立不顧人民身家、生命、財產的安全，這樣的獨立又有何意義？須知沒有安全，就什麼亦沒有，還談什麼尊嚴？既然大家都在為台灣打拼奮鬥，目標一致，路線縱或有不同亦沒關係，無須互相抵制或是削弱勢力，只要能為台灣加分，讓台灣越來越好，不就是大家最原始的共同之初衷，抱持成功\不必在我，捐棄各自成見，共同為造台灣千秋盛，公存萬世開太平，本是同根生，相煎又何須太急？未來歷史之功\過，後人自有評論。 ◎台北市李登輝之友會長陳秀麗小姐也曾經親口告訴我，當初林志昇求她引見李前總統登輝先生時，李前總統要求秀麗姊先帶林志昇到廟裡去發誓，秀麗姊真的帶著林志昇到民權東路的行天宮(又叫恩主宮)發誓，林志昇也真的在行天宮公開發誓絕不會背叛李登輝前總統，不會背叛台灣，之後林志昇才見到李登輝前總統。現在的林志昇有無背離自己在行天宮所發誓的誓言？社會自有公評。 ◎本人藉此建議部份尚在幫林志昇先生抹粉點胭脂，多少具有一點指標性的人，懂得稍微自我克制，有一位極富正義感，因堅持一綱多本而被台北市長郝龍斌解聘的蕭曉玲老師，狀告台北市長郝龍斌被判敗訴，也曾被所謂的TCG民政府的人誤導，說能夠透過美國的司法途徑幫忙解決，害她和她的極熱心社會公共事務的醫生丈夫兩個人，被騙了很多錢。包括前司法院副院長城仲模先生的姑媽，年逾八旬，也被騙了數十萬，那位慈祥的姑媽給了我部份捐款的收據，諸如此類的受騙案例，不勝枚舉，民政府的主事者，以及眾多高官大臣，不須要本諸社會責任，出面向社會大眾澄清嗎？ ◎本人也聽聞有部份人說：我也曾經是林志昇集團的人，之後因為爭權奪利不合而分開，凡是看過以上這一段說明的人，就會知道整個事實的真相，沒有周威霖先生，就不會有我這個黃育旗的出現，沒有我黃育旗，就不會有何瑞元先生，沒有何瑞元先生，就不會有林志昇先生，沒有林志昇先生，也就不會有今天這個故事。人是群居動物，包括本人和每一個人都會有優缺點，人與人之間若沒有朝夕相處，在一起共事一段時間，又怎會知道真實的面目，凡事不要只看表面，不能只是聽人家說，必須深入瞭解，負起應有的社會責任，凡事必須要有真憑實據，有理必須據理力爭，理虧不能無理取鬧，這是做人的最基本的原則，也才配做為一個人的要件，否則、良心會安嗎？晚上睡得覺嗎？
本人的政治信仰是，只要台灣不落入中國，其它任何有助於台灣走出不正常現狀的選項，我都接受。 撰述人：黃育旗(Johnny Y.C. Huang) 台灣小留學生家長協進會秘書長 ps...@ms12.hinet.net | |
