Retreat.
Retreat is defined by four documents, called Retreat

A possible fifth is
For six months the best definition of the Retreat
strategy has been these four or five documents. Alterations to these
documents would confuse the definition of the Retreat strategy,
which is owned by Ivor Catt, or possibly by Ivor, Eugen, Robin Gay and Robert
Whiston..
It is not clear to what extent an unaltered
Reflections is crucial to the definition of the Retreat Definition.
Since the documentation has not improved for
six months, we have to work with the only version of Retreat Definition
that we have, encapsulated in the above four or possibly five documents. [There
is a separate, 9improved version now available. Ivor Catt 2jan02]
Reflections.
This document dates
back to the time, 1994, when Ivor Catt's book The Hook and the Sting
asserted "Man as Witch". A father wants access to his wife in order
to batter her (or rape her), and he wants access to his children in order to
sexually molest them. Thus, any assertion by a man is of no value. Reflections
contains only writing by women, and so it not tainted by the dissembling of
today's serpent, the man. (Writing is by a woman, or is quoted by a woman.)
Sections of Reflections,
which includes its pictures etc., or even the whole of Reflections,
can be taken and used in other documents, but the resulting document cannot be
called Reflections, which is owned by Ivor Catt. However,
alterations or additions may be suggested to Ivor Catt, and these are needed in
order to have recent quotes in it. However, its length is more than adequate.
The idea that a
significant portion of current concerns have been expressed by women is of
crucial importance. That is, women have not failed to contribute to analysis of
the current crisis, and it is not invented by male commentators. That is proved
by Reflections, which must not be tampered with. A woman is never
quoted twice in Reflections. The broad base of Reflections must
be retained, particularly since it is over-long. Content is less important than
to trawl more and more women, and short quotes are most valuable.
The editor of the FNF journal Access
did not acknowledge receipt of Retreat Definition.
It is hilarious that FNF, of which I was a
member, is incapable of relating to all the above documents or strategy or
arguments at any level, even merely to refute them. I shall send copies of this
note to SS and to Parton, two of the chief non-functionaries in FNF. We will
not get even a criticism by what SS calls "senior officers of FNF",
or some such, who keep to activity which has little bearing on the plight of
our children. As you implied, the above may be a significant contribution to
the crisis which FNF uses to extract money from father victims, but which FNF
is incapable of addressing.
Parton's verbal invitation (at the A Burgess
28apr98 seminar; "Come home, all is forgiven,") to fallout from FNF
to collaborate is insufficient. The centre of FNF has to demonstrate that it is
capable of articulating itself onto the latest developments, or alleged
developments, in the subject, a possible example being Retreat.
There will be no response to this from the FNF hoi poloi, because for practical
purposes they do not exist, except to get in the way of work in this field.
(FNF is ideologically committed to the dogma
of father and child as victim, and will not tolerate suggestion that a power
base for the father has been identified. {I hope this does not apply to UKMM}
Traditionally, any senior member suggesting a more assertive policy was driven
out of FNF and then besmirched in the morning session at the next FNF AGM.) Ivor

2jan02. We now find that not only FNF high
command, but virtually all other men cut off from their children, are totally
indifferent to the Retreat strategy. They do not comment in any way, even to
criticise it. I took extreme action in "Ill Eagle", which I edit, to
try to elicit comment, to little avail. To date, perhaps three fathers, in
every case with success have used the strategy. No other fathers are willing
even to think about following in their pioneering footsteps. They prefer the
sympathy that they wrongly think come with losing home and children, to
fighting for their children. Ivor Catt 2jan02
