While the Democratic Party often postures as championing voter rights and opposing voter suppression, it frequently engages in voter-suppression tactics of its own, particularly aimed at restricting voters’ ability to choose minor political parties on the ballot. Senate Bill 292, advanced by prominent Democratic Legislators despite overwhelming public opposition, is a case in point.![]()
![]()
Section 2 of SB292 would shut minor political parties out of realistic ballot access by imposing a requirement that petition signatures gathered by minor parties seeking ballot access be “equally apportioned” among the four Congressional districts in Nevada. This requirement would be impossible to fulfill in practice, thus possibly disqualifying every new minor party forever. ![]()
![]()
Read U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II’s editorial in opposition to the anti-minor-party SB292 here: transhumanist-party.org/2021/05/25/sb292-hyprocrisy/ ![]()
![]()
Senate Bill 292 will be heard at 4 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, at the Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections - www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021/Meeting/9724 *This will be our last chance at direct input to the Legislators regarding this bill.* Follow the link above and click on the button to "Participate" in order to register for call-in information.

We are pleased to announce the second annual Victor Run Virtual Race, which will take place on June 4-6, 2021. View our official race webpage for details and rules: transhumanist-party.org/victor-run/ ![]()
![]()
The U.S. Transhumanist Party is collaborating with molecular biologist Victor Bjoerk, who was the inspiration for the original Victor Run 2020. This time we are encouraging all race participants to donate to their choice among the following organizations:![]()
![]()
- SENS Research Foundation - www.sens.org/get-involved/donate/ ![]()
- LongeCity - www.longecity.org/forum/donate/ ![]()
- Lifespan.io (You can donate to the PEARL research crowdfunding campaign - www.lifespan.io/campaigns/pearl-participatory-evaluation-of-aging-with-rapamycin-for-longevity/ - or to Lifespan.io generally - www.lifespan.io/how-you-can-help/ ) ![]()
![]()
The Rules![]()
![]()
1. Run any distance of your choosing, in any location of your choosing, at any time during June 4 through June 6, 2021.![]()
![]()
2. Track your run using any GPS-enabled application that has a public link to your activity. Make sure to set your activity to be publicly viewable, so that the results can be validated in compiling the race statistics.![]()
![]()
3. Submit a donation of $30 or greater to any of the following organizations: SENS Research Foundation, LongeCity, or Lifespan.io (You can donate to the PEARL research crowdfunding campaign or to Lifespan.io generally). Once you have donated, send an e-mail to gennadystolyarovii@gmail.com with evidence / confirmation of your donation.![]()
![]()
When we compile results, we will also release results by “team”. Your “team” will be based on the organization you chose to donate to. Results for each “team” will be the sums of the scores for each runner on the “team”.![]()
![]()
4. Submit your race results via the form here - forms.gle/hzG83ADPskPAjydNA or via e-mail to gennadystolyarovii@gmail.com. On Strava, tag your run as the Victor Run 2021 or use the hashtag #VictorRun2021 if you would like recognition that way.![]()
![]()
Individuals in the top 50 places using the scoring system for the run will earn a custom finisher medal, sent around late June 2021.![]()
![]()
NOTE: Because the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other supply-chain disruptions have made shipping to many countries cost-prohibitive, we are limiting distributions of medals to North America and Europe only. Individuals in countries outside the North American and European continents may still participate in the virtual race, but we will unfortunately not be able to ship medals directly to those countries.![]()
![]()
International shipments may take longer because of recent disruptions. We appreciate your patience, and will try to get the medal to you as soon as this is logistically feasible.![]()
![]()
Scoring![]()
![]()
Your run will be scored according to the following metrics. You can make this a fast run or a slower, longer run – a flat run or a run with significant elevation gain. Because the goal of the fundraiser is to support longevity research, there will be no limit to how long or how far you can run. If you started running during the June 4-6 timeframe but are somehow still running past that timeframe (because three days are not enough for you), we can even accommodate your submission of that result.![]()
![]()
Distance / Speed Metrics![]()
– 1 point for every mile run at 12 minutes or slower.![]()
– 1.1 points for every mile run between 11 and <12 minutes.![]()
– 1.25 points for every mile run between 10 and <11 minutes.![]()
– 1.5 points for every mile run between 9 and <10 minutes.![]()
– 2 points for every mile run between 8 and <9 minutes.![]()
– 3 points for every mile run between 7 and <8 minutes.![]()
– 5 points for every mile run between 6 and <7 minutes.![]()
– 7 points for every mile run between 5 and <6 minutes.![]()
– 11 points for every mile run between 4 and <5 minutes.![]()
– YOU WIN AUTOMATICALLY if you set the mile world record and run any mile under 4 minutes.![]()
– Any remaining fraction of a mile after all full miles are considered will receive a number of points proportional to a mile within the range above that corresponds to the average pace for the entire run. For example, if your entire run’s average pace is 9:30 per mile, and you run 4.5 miles, then the last 0.5 miles will earn you 0.75 points (0.5*1.5 points for the range between 9 and <10 minutes).![]()
– If your GPS tracker does not provide pace per individual mile, you will be scored based on your average pace. Mathematically, this will likely result in a lower point total, so as to incentivize more granular tracking.![]()
![]()
Elevation Metrics![]()
– You will earn an additional 0.25 points for every 100 feet of elevation gain attained during the run. Every fraction of 100 feet of elevation gain will earn a proportional share of 0.25 points.![]()
![]()
May You Run on a Treadmill or Elliptical Trainer?![]()
Yes, you may, if you make the donation and provide a screenshot of your results. However, your point rubric will have less upside potential.![]()
![]()
Treadmill / Elliptical Trainer Rubric![]()
– 1 point for every mile run at 12 minutes or slower.![]()
– 1.1 points for every mile run between 11 and <12 minutes.![]()
– 1.25 points for every mile run between 10 and <11 minutes.![]()
– 1.5 points for every mile run faster than 10 minutes.![]()
– You will earn an additional 0.1 points for every 100 feet of elevation gain as registered by a treadmill or elliptical trainer.![]()
You will likely be scored based on your average pace for a treadmill / elliptical run – unless you can provide evidence of per-mile splits.![]()
![]()
***![]()
![]()
We hope that you will join us for the Victor Run 2021, help advance life-saving medical research, and take actions in furtherance of your own health and longevity!

Senate Bill 292 (SB292), which would make it essentially impossible for minor political parties to compete at the ballot box or even attempt ballot access, continues to be rapidly advanced in Nevada. It was authored by a former Democratic Party Chair who would like to require the number of signatures to be impossibly “equally apportioned” by petitioning district, move the deadline for submitting petitions to an earlier June 1 date, and institute straight-line party-ticket voting that shuts out other options and discourages individualized decision-making.![]()

After SB292 passed on a party-line vote (3 Democrats in favor, 2 Republicans opposed) out of the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections, U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II drafted a letter to the Senate Committee on Finance, where the bill is headed next, in opposition to SB292. The text of this letter appears here: transhumanist-party.org/2021/05/05/ustp-sb292-finance-letter/![]()

We urge all Nevadans and Transhumanist Party members, as well as those who are sympathetic to other minor political parties, to submit their opinions in opposition to SB292 here: www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/. Be sure to reference the amended, "April 16, 2021" version as the bill you are opposing - so as to signal that even the recently amended bill continues to pose serious problems. If you would like your comments to be published, you can also submit them via e-mail to SenFIN@sen.state.nv.us. ![]()

The Senate Committee on Finance will meet this Wednesday, May 5, at 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time to hold a public hearing on this bill. Meeting information will be updated on this page: www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021/Bill/7895/Meetings. If you can dial in during the time period for public testimony and lend your voice in opposition, that would be greatly appreciated. Focus your testimony on the adverse fiscal impacts of this bill, as that is what the Committee will be primarily considering. Please feel free to reference any of my arguments in Chairman Stolyarov’s letter for inspiration. Remember to be civil and respectful but firm in your opposition!

The anti-minor-party Nevada Senate Bill 292 has advanced out of the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections on a party-line vote (3 Democrats in favor, 2 Republicans opposed). An amendment from the bill sponsor was included in the bill; Amendment No. 230 is an incremental improvement but maintains essentially insurmountable barriers for minor political parties. While the amended bill no longer raises the petition-signature threshold from 1% to 2% of the Nevada voters who voted in the last election, it does still seek to impose an impossible “equal distribution” requirement for the petition signatures and also moves the deadline for submitting petition signatures from the current third Friday in June to June 1.![]()

There is still time to express opposition to Senate Bill 292, particularly to the requirement that petition signatures be equally apportioned and the earlier June 1 deadline for submitting such signatures. SB292 is already one of the most actively commented on and least popular bills of the 2021 Legislative Session, with 209 public opinions expressed in opposition and only 4 in favor. You can submit your opinion in opposition to SB292 here - www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/ - and also e-mail the Senate Committee on Finance, where SB292 will be headed next, at SenFIN@sen.state.nv.us, as well as e-mail the Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections at AsmLOE@asm.state.nv.us. The Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections would be the committee where SB292 would be heard if it were to pass in the Senate. Please express your concerns civilly and politely but make it clear that you do not agree with any attempts to further limit minor-party ballot access. Also, please spread this article to as many constituencies as possible! People of nearly all political persuasions should be able to agree on the importance of voter choice and to abhor the injustice of intentionally restricting candidates and parties from even being available for voters to consider. ![]()

“Arondite” by Rykon Volta offers a fascinating exploration of a hypothetical trajectory of humankind’s future history, in which Hugo de Garis’s dire predictions of an “Artilect War” had come to pass. The story of “Arondite” takes place 500 years later, in 2571-2572. Humanity has, over the course of five centuries, risen slowly from the ashes of the Artilect War, and multiple competing societies and governments have taken hold in the Solar System. ![]()

One frequently encounters the identification of human creativity and inventiveness as driving forces for progress in technology and society. In part, this identification is correct: it is through the human creative faculty―the ability to bring forth new combinations of matter and new ideas―that improvements to the human condition arise. But while creation is a necessary component to progress, it is not a sufficient component. The other required component of progress is maintenance.![]()

Here is a brief summary by Richard Winger, one of the leading ballot-access experts in the United States, about the April 1 hearing of the Nevada Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections on the restrictive anti-minor-party Senate Bill 292 (SB292). ![]()
![]()
ballot-access.org/2021/04/01/nevada-legislative-hearing-on-bill-to-double-petition-requirement-fo... ![]()

The Democratic Party bill proponents seem intent on advancing this anti-democratic, anti-minor-party legislation, which would make it easier for people to vote for Democrats and harder or impossible for them to vote for anyone else (especially minor-party candidates). The Senate Committee has scheduled a Work Session on April 6 at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time. At that time, the bill proponents will likely try to get the Committee to pass the bill. There is not much that can be done at that particular time, but I think we can influence what amendments the bill proponents may be amenable to as a way of defusing the controversy around the bill. So I would urge you to continue to express your opposition to the bill by sharing U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II’s opposition letter online - transhumanist-party.org/2021/03/31/ustp-letter-oppose-sb292/ - submitting your own opinions on the Legislature website - www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/ - and, even more effectively, directly via e-mail to the Committee: SenLOE@sen.state.nv.us. There are already 86 opinions against this bill and zero in favor. It is close to making the list of the top most actively commented on bills of the session!![]()
![]()
If we are fortunate, perhaps the Democratic Party bill proponents will listen to the public outcry and at least amend out the portion of the bill that would raise petition thresholds for minor political parties (Section 2). We can only find out if we continue to keep the problems with this bill in the public eye.

Nevada Legislative Hearing on Bill to Double Petition Requirement for New and Previously Unqualified Parties Posted on April 1, 2021 by Richard Winger On April 1, the Nevada Senate Legislative Operations and Elections Committee heard testimony on SB 292, the bill to double the petition requirement f...
Nevada Senate Bill 292, which would make it essentially impossible for minor political parties to compete at the ballot box or even attempt ballot access, is being rapidly advanced and is up for hearing at the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections this Thursday, April 1, at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time. It was authored by a former Democratic Party Chair who would like to double the petition-signature requirement for ballot access, require the number of signatures to be impossibly “equally apportioned” by petitioning district, and institute straight-line party-ticket voting that shuts out other options and discourages individualized decision-making. ![]()
![]()
In an urgent, almost last-minute action, U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II drafted a letter to the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections in opposition to that bill. Read it here: transhumanist-party.org/2021/03/31/ustp-letter-oppose-sb292/![]()
![]()
We urge all Nevadans and Transhumanist Party members, as well as those who are sympathetic to other minor political parties, to submit their opinions in opposition to SB292 here: www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/![]()
![]()
Again, the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections will meet this Thursday, April 1, at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time to hold a public hearing on this bill. Meeting information will be updated on this page: www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021/Bill/7895/Meetings. If you can dial in during the time period for public testimony and lend your voice in opposition, that would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. Dan Elton and Dr. Edward Hudgins write, “If Maryland Governor Larry Hogan acts immediately and decisively, he can save thousands of Marylanders from suffering and death from COVID-19. A facility in Baltimore produces the very effective AstraZeneca vaccine and has stockpiled millions of doses. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, headquartered in suburban Maryland, which must certify all vaccines and medical treatments before patients can reap their benefits, is holding those doses hostage to its antiquated, bureaucratic red tape. Hogan should act now to liberate the vaccine to save the lives of Marylanders.” ![]()

One of the highly problematic aspects of contemporary Western societies is the widespread aversion to individuals having “unstructured time” – for which no conventions or prescribed routines dictate how it will be spent. This is a mistaken distaste and, indeed, a dangerous one. Unstructured time is not only the source of human progress; it is also essential for people to develop their own individualities and flourish as unique human beings.![]()

The Nevada Secretary of State’s Office seems to have upgraded its operations and issues paper certificates to minor political parties now. The Nevada Transhumanist Party has been officially registered since August 31, 2015, and now we have this Certificate of Minor Party Organization that recognizes our most recent filing and current status. Also, note the bristlecone pines depicted near the State of Nevada seal. These are the longest-living individual (non-clonal) trees in the world, and it is fitting that the Nevada Transhumanist Party would have them on its certificate. ![]()

Our director of scholarship, Dr Dan Elton outside the FDA yesterday demanding immediate, proactive action to save lives ! There are tens of millions of doses of the life-saving AstraZeneca vaccine sitting in a factory in Baltimore. #ApproveAstraZeneca #proactionNotPrecaution
Activists led by our Director of Scholarhip, Dr Dan Elton, gathered outside the FDA yesterday to demand action on scientifically proven vaccines (Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, and Novavax). Every day of delay leads to more lives lost due to the deadly precautionary principle!!
Scene outside the FDA yesterday. #UnclogTheFDA #ApproveAstraZeneca #ApproveJnJ #ApproveNovavax. There are tens of millions of AstraZeneca doses sitting in a factory in Baltimore right now!!
To follow the science means to approve vaccines quickly, not delay them through arbitrary bureaucratic timelines! The vaccines are just as safe and effective now as they will be in a few months, but can save tens of thousands of lives now! #UnclogTheFDA #ApproveAstraZeneca #ApproveAllVaccines #USTranshumanistParty #ProactionaryPrinciple
We have enough AstraZeneca vaccine available in the United States to eliminate these ridiculous months-long waits! Many tens of thousands of people will die needlessly if the FDA continues to hold back approval of these life-saving vaccines! Approve them now! #UnclogTheFDA #ApproveAstraZeneca #ApproveAllVaccines #USTranshumanistParty #ProactionaryPrinciple
The FDA continues to ignore the costs of inaction, the thousands of lives lost per day because approval of vaccines, diagnostic tests, and treatments is being delayed by obsolete, needlessly cumbersome bureaucratic processes. #UnclogTheFDA #ApproveAstraZeneca #ApproveAllVaccines #USTranshumanistParty #ProactionaryPrinciple
Please share these graphics on Twitter with the #UnclogTheFDA and #ApproveAstraZeneca hashtags, and mention the keyword "FDA". Also, tag Twitter account for the person quoted for the ones with quotes!
Our courageous activists, led by the U.S. Transhumanist Party Director of Scholarship, Dr. Dan Elton, demonstrated for a second time outside the FDA headquarters to urge the immediate approval of the AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, and Novavax vaccines, which can save thousands of lives per day in the wake of impending more virulent viral strains. The delay by the FDA is unconscionable, especially when it comes to failure to approve vaccines which have already passed stringent regulatory scrutiny in many European countries and in Canada. ![]()

This Monday, February 15, 2021, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, 1 p.m. Eastern Time, please join us for a “tweetstorm”, using hashtags such as #UnclogTheFDA and #ApproveAstraZeneca. More information can be found on this event page: www.facebook.com/events/208338324360886/. If we coordinate the timing of our posts (and if many of us post original commentary on the imperative to approve these vaccines), then we can catalyze a social-media trend that would raise the visibility of this urgent, life-saving cause! ![]()

Millions of vaccine doses are ready to go, but for the FDA’s inexcusable inaction. Follow the example of our USTP and allied demonstrators and join us in this effort to make these vaccines available to save thousands of lives per day as soon as possible!

Dr. Dan Elton has provided a thorough explanation of how the safety and efficacy of vaccines can be rationally evaluated before Phase III clinical-trial data come in. Read his article, “How We Can Judge the Safety and Efficacy of New Vaccines Prior to Phase III Data and Why We Must” - transhumanist-party.org/2021/02/01/judging-vaccine-safety/![]()
![]()
Excerpt: “A common refrain we hear from public intellectuals about vaccines prior to Phase III data is ‘we don’t know anything about the safety or efficacy of vaccine X’. This attitude is both false and misleading to the public, instilling uncertainty and fear about vaccines. To see why it is false, consider if a normal vaccine safety study was done, but by coincidence all of the vaccines were given in hospital rooms that were painted blue. Could we conclude on the basis of such a study whether the vaccine would be safe if administered in rooms painted red? Yes, we can, and we should. We can utilize two forms of reasoning to conclude that the vaccine is safe if given in red rooms, even though we have no data on the matter.”![]()

It is unconscionable that thousands of people are still dying every day while the FDA delays the approval of vaccines known to be safe and effective against COVID-19. U.S. Transhumanist Party Director of Scholarship Dr. Dan Elton makes the case for why the FDA should immediately approve the AstraZeneca, NovaVax, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, and also allow people the right to try vaccines from CureVac and Janssen Pharmaceuticals. ![]()

The “Precautionary Principle” is exacting an immense death toll. It is time to fundamentally rethink how life-saving medical innovations are treated by regulatory agencies. The status quo should *not* be the default acceptable option, and often inaction is the choice that costs the most lives. ![]()

Our friend and biomedical researcher Victor Bjoerk – of Victor Run 2020 fame – has published his annual New Year’s Message. In welcoming 2021, he focuses on what has gone well for him personally as well as areas where humankind is going to need to overcome challenges in order to successfully implement the reversal of biological aging. ![]()
![]()
He reminds us that “A lot of things in history have also been grotesquely mismanaged and squandered because of predictable human error, not because of the intrinsic difficulty of the science itself. There are a lot of golden nuggets laying around the labs in the world right now, and lots of resources and techniques are at our fingertips, but how will they be combined and implemented into an individual in order to cure them from aging? And how will this cocktail of interventions that forms the ultimate cure of aging be implemented across the world just like the efforts currently underway with the COVID vaccine?”![]()

Nearly all of the proposed new provisions received a majority of support from the voting members. The members also determined that the Chairman would have the discretion to call an election for the office of Chairman at any time with two months of advance notice, without any member threshold needing to be reached to trigger that decision. Furthermore, regarding the name for activities that would disqualify a potential candidate pursuant to Article VII, Section I, Subsection (v), after 10 rounds of instant runoffs, the term “highly unacceptable” emerged as the one most favored by the members. The majority members did not believe that a previous criminal history of vandalism should automatically disqualify a potential candidate. Accordingly, any future candidates with a history of vandalism will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and in consideration of the other eligibility criteria adopted by the USTP members. The remainder of the proposed candidate eligibility criteria were adopted by majority votes of the USTP members.![]()

The U.S. Transhumanist Party Constitution has been amended with the newly adopted provisions effective immediately at transhumanist-party.org/constitution/![]()
![]()
We understand that not all members supported all of the proposed reforms, and especially for the candidate eligibility criteria, the wording is intended to provide a great degree of flexibility and common sense with regard to how the criteria are applied in practice. The primary purpose of the eligibility criteria is to bar in advance those individuals who are likely to create a hostile environment by means of their unfavorable personality traits and antisocial behaviors. All other potential candidates, from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and esthetics – as long as they can be considered broadly transhumanist – would continue to be welcome to seek the members’ endorsement. ![]()
![]()
The U.S. Transhumanist Party would also like to request those of its members who did not support exclusionary criteria pertaining to property crimes or vandalism to state their specific reservations. We are open to further clarification of these matters via subsequent member votes. ![]()
![]()
For example: Mere civil offenses should probably not constitute an absolute exclusion for a candidate; only criminal offenses would fall under this prohibition.![]()
![]()
Furthermore, if the person made full restitution to the victim for a crime against property, and the victim accepted this, should this cease to be an absolute bar to an endorsement? That is another question that can be considered in a further vote.![]()
![]()
Also, mere technical violations - e.g., trespassing on government property or sitting on a lawn during a peaceful demonstration - would not count as crimes against property. The qualifier that the crime against property would need to be a “violent crime” would mean that the exclusion would not apply to those who might have been fined for a technical infraction with no actual victim(s). In the prohibition against property crimes, the USTP was specifically aiming this to exclude candidates who might have trashed houses or storefronts because they are lashing out, not those who may have damaged something incidentally or unintentionally. Thus, the intent of the person who may have committed a previous crime could be another matter that would be clarified in a subsequent vote.![]()
![]()
Regarding the vandalism issue, we also ask members who voted against this criterion to state their reservations. For example, would an exemption from the definition of vandalism for the creation of public art (Banksy et al.) address their concerns? Again, the prohibition would have applied to people who intentionally trash property, not those who, for whatever reason, act out of artistic or (fairly benign, in their views) self-expression motives. Indeed, for most of the criteria, the basic purpose is to ferret out underlying personality traits that would lead to antisocial behavior within the USTP if the person were endorsed as a candidate. So we are not aiming to exclude those who would decorate an abandoned building (even if still owned by someone) somewhere; we are aiming to exclude those who would smash things with baseball bats (just to use an example).![]()

Thank you to all members who participated in the voting, no matter how you voted. We value each of your perspectives and believe that robust discussions such as these are an important part of the USTP’s open and transparent deliberative processes, which have certainly taken place on these issues via the USTP Reform Summit and the public comments on the reform proposals. These issues will, of course, continue to be discussed as we apply the reforms in practice over time.

I would again urge a “Yes” vote on all of the proposed “Yes”/”No” questions and especially to select all 35 candidate eligibility criteria in Question XII. These reforms were extensively deliberated upon by the Officers, Advisors, and most active members of the USTP. I truly think that the “silent majority” of our members would consider these reforms to be a matter of common sense and basic good governance. The key is to get them – most likely including you! – to turn out and vote! ![]()
![]()
It has come to my attention that some may be applying criteria to the candidate-selection process that might instead more appropriately be applied to the civil liberties of ordinary citizens under the law. However, being endorsed as a candidate is not a matter of right, but a privilege that should be earned through exemplary conduct. Keeping persons who exhibit poor judgment, bad character, or ulterior motives from running as candidates is a matter of basic prudence and essential to the survival of the organization. There should be a much higher bar to being a prominent representative of a transhumanist organization than there would be to simply being an ordinary citizen in a free society. To those who wish to err on the side of respecting individual freedoms – I completely agree with you as a matter of government policy and ethics – but it is also the right of every private organization to exclude from it a small number of individuals who act criminally, disreputably, or intentionally to sabotage the organization. That is what these reforms are about. Had these reforms been in effect during the 2019 primary, a lot of the divisive behaviors that a small number of troublemakers engaged in at that time could have been decisively averted. ![]()
![]()
I therefore urge a vote in favor of the proposed reforms so that the USTP can establish the requisite safeguards and reliably base its processes around them. Please vote and encourage your friends and associates who are also USTP members to vote!

Composed to commemorate the end of the most difficult year in recent history, USTP Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II’s new End of 2020 Solo March, Op. 90, conveys both the struggle and turbulence of the year left behind and the aspiration toward a brighter future. The piece is one of contrast and duality; it does not always move in the direction of brightness, since as the pandemic has taught us, there can be both incremental improvements and (sometimes sudden and dramatic) setbacks. Nor does the piece end definitively in a major or minor key; it ends in the key of C, but which C? The outcome of the battle between progress (potentially exponential progress) and ruin (potentially catastrophic ruin) is up to us humans to determine in 2021 and far beyond. And yet this composition also uses the principles of harmony to convey its moods, because it is through such a structured approach that humans ultimately rescue meaning out of the chaos and have a chance to restore order to a turbulent world. ![]()

Because 2020 was a year during which solitude became the default and the norm, this piece is written for solo piano, which also suggests that the conflict between progress and ruin is one that is experienced and participated in by each individual uniquely on that individual's terms. Humankind is not really marching forward together and is perhaps more divided than ever; rather, the efforts and choices of each individual are what ultimately chart the trajectory of the long arc of history. Also, this march is one that can actually be played by an individual human! ![]()

The End of 2020 Solo March is one of the last few occasions to use the USTP's 2020 logo. We aspire toward a brighter future, and our esthetic in 2021 will reflect this! Meanwhile, thanks to Art Ramon Garcia, our Director of Visual Art, for this great design!![]()
