The picture shows those who scored in the top 20 in the US National Physics Olympiad; 80% of them are Chinese Americans judging from the last names.              The US physics team also did well in the International Physics Olympiad, though not quite as splendidly as our chemistry or math teams.  Our physics team averages about 1 Gold and 1 Silver each year, over the last 40 years                                    IN MATHEMATICS  (click here)       2018     US Team Takes First in International Math Olympiad, under head coach Po-Shen Loh, Carnegie Mellon University.  The US team was FIRST in 3 of the last 4 contests.             Drafting a 2nd letter to FBI Director Wray        Dir. Wray has not replied to my letter to him of 3 weeks ago.   Consequently, I begin to write to US Congressional Delegates and presidential candidates informing them of the grave mistake that Wray is making to damage the long-term interests of the US.  At the same time, I continue to write Wray.  My 2nd letter will contain the above info.  I'll ask Wray, "What if your totalitarian "whole-of-society approach" profiling against scientists of Chinese origin would drive these young ChAm science talents from science or even from the US?"       I'll also ask,  Director Wray, do you want to destroy the most promising  DOMESTIC source of future scientists for chemistry, math and physics?                    Post your views here.      Donate  S.

For a Chinese  version of this e-newsletter, click on https://goo.gl/6GsJWe A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words APS News, July 2019 Featuring the U.S. team preparing for the International Physics Olympiad.     The Above Picture Should Cause a) FBI Director Wray to reflect:  "Hmmm!  All these Asian American faces.        I bet at least 50% are Chinese American(ChAm) faces.  Will my totalitarian       "whole-of-society effort" to catch Chinese spies, which certainly violate the civil       rights of innocent ChAm scientists, eventually drive these students out of Physics      or even out of the USA?  Who will replace them?  Will I be causing deep       damage to the long-term  interest of US science?  I want to protect our national      secrets, but I MUST not violate the rights of innocent scientists of Chinese origin.       I need to re-examine my "whole-of-society effort" advocacy."       b) many of us in the STEM field to reflect*: "Why am I  so timid?  I am        a tenured & Chaired professor.  Yet when my Dean told me not to go to China       anymore, and to get out of a first-rate international collaborative science program        in China, I meekly agreed.  I've studiously abided by the rules of the Univ. and the       granting agencies, and yet I submit to such outrageous extra-legal verbal        instructions from an administrator like an errand boy."         "I am a selfish coward.  I shouldn't set such shameful precedent for these         young students who will be future scientists.  I wasn't thinking about the long-        term interest of US science.  I was only thinking about pleasing the Dean.         While my Dean was only thinking about the number of dollars received from the         funding agencies instead of what's best for science.  What is the use of being a         chaired professor, if I behave like an errand boy.   I must do better from here on.         Otherwise, I'll hate the face I see in the mirror each morning." *  The above is the composite of two true events.  I believe hundreds of similar     events occurred on campuses all over the U.S.  Rise, professors.  See how EF      responds to grave events with courage and integrity.  Has anything happened to      me and/or my colleagues on the Board who have been the "point persons" for the      AsAm community for decades?  Step up to be counted!  Together we can do      even better in helping our nation to be a "more perfect union."   c) many administrators of universities to reflect: "Why am I       betraying my academic principles and letting grant dollars and politics lead me       by the nose, since becoming an administrator?  I used to be a strong believer in      free and open exchange of science for its advancement!  I used to be against race      profiling.  What FBI Director Wray is advocating is nothing less than urging the            entire US society to race profile scientists of Chinese origin.  Yes, I am shamefully      implementing that policy.   I need to re-set my moral compass this moment."           "In addition, some of these ChAm professors, backed by an organization like      this 80-20 Educational Foundation, may one day decide to sue me for my       extra-legal instruction to them to stop their collaboratory activities in China.  I       need to be more judicious and law-abiding."                                Post your views here.   Forward.   Donate  S.

Why were these dire warnings ignored?

Make Good Use of our Financial Strength

For a Chinese  version of this e-newsletter, click on https://goo.gl/6GsJW                                                                                                               The Ideal Situation 80-20 has the responsibility to warn you early about approaching political danger.  See the 8 explicit dire warnings issued by EF in the last 17 months, shown below. YOU need to hear the warnings & respond immediately to deter the oppressors from treading on us, and strengthen our defense.  How to respond cost-effectively?  Money talks.  If half of the estimated  100,000 AsAms, who have read EF's warnings, would each have sent in  $100, EF's war chest would have been boosted by $5 million* during those  few months. Politicians would have been impressed to no end; ceased their  aggressive policy against us & perhaps seek to befriend us.      Result:  Problem solved.  It's that simple.  You wouldn't have to worry about being an innocent victim any more.  80-20's war chest would be $5 million*larger, which would indeed indirectly protect you further. America becomes a more perfect union.  It's a win-win-win. *Note (1) EF Board Members don't benefit from a large war chest.  You do; and           (2) Endowment for the Jewish AIPAC org. is $140 million; its annual                 expenditure is $60 million.  So EF has a long way to go to catch up.                                                                  The Real Situation        The real world situation is disappointing at first.  However, 80-20 deeply believes that its supporters are highly educated, very smart and learn quickly.  That is why EF is reviewing the past, detailed below, with you.                         8 WARNINGS in 17 Months, sent to you by EF  1) EF's Feb 28, 2018 e-newsletter to you:   A Tough Time Ahead - Let's Forge UNITY  ... The AsAm community, particularly the Ch-Am community, may be facing tough times in the coming months and  years.  Let's forge unity.... 2)  EF's March13, 2018 e-newsletter to you: Read it so that you'll know how tough things are these days.  The extra-legal pressure is intentional.  The only way the pressure will let up is if we mount effective counter pressure. .... 3)  EF's March 19, 2018 e-newsletter to you, entitled "Big changes that may hurt        you"               Alarmed By Director Wray's statement?  Watch out.        There'll be more such statement/actions to come that may hurt you.           Nat'l Security Strategy of 2018, issued by Pres. Trump and                      Nat'l Defense Strategy, issued by Gen. Mattis 4) EF's March 26, 2018 email to you:  [YOU be the judge. Is our warning explicit?]   EF Forewarned You about the Coming Big/Bad Changes When EF found out that many of you didn't get the subtle warnings, we sent out the following explicit warning: March 19, BIG changes that may hurt us. "   5) EF's July 30, 2018 e-newsletter to you:  [After EF single-handedly defeated an    unconstitutional law, passed by the House.] Mission accomplished THIS time. Will EF be as successful the next time?  My guess is "NO!" unless each of us will do our share to forge unity within the AsAm community, before it is too late.  Things will likely get tougher.    6) EF's Aug. 13, 2018 e-newsletter to you:  According to Politico, President Trump called "almost every student" from China a spy. ....  Mark our words: thing will get worse.   7) EF's Dec. 24, 2018 e-newsletter to you:          TIMIDITY: Our shame & perhaps our downfall.  ..... My aim is to get you to begin asserting your leadership in the service of our community at a tough time. 8) EF's May 6, 2019 e-newsletter to you, entitled CALL TO ACTION - protecting innocent Ch-Am scientists: Respond to this Call To Action to lessen your chance      of being a victim!     [UC, Berkeley, Stanford, U of MI and UC, Davis were the four which started  the campus wide communication to protect scientists of Chinese origin.  Since then,8 other universities have joined.  They are U DE, Princeton, Rice, Yale, U MD, Case Western Reserve, Columbia, and MIT. We need more.]     We learn from our mistakes and move on to be smarter and stronger.  Beware: we are a very small minority; we can't afford too many mistakes.                                  If you like this email, please FORWARD.                                 Post your views here.      Donate .
