A Lifetime BAN on Mr. LEO M.SEMASHKO


Mr. Leo Mikhailovich Semashko (born June 20, 1941) had continuously supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine  based on his twisted logic.

IAEWP has permanently banned him for life, from  ALL peace and harmony activities of this institution. 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused significant harm to the people of Ukraine in various ways, including:

Loss of life: The conflict has resulted in the deaths and murder of thousands of people, including civilians, women and children.

Displacement of people: The conflict has forced millions of people to flee their homes, either within Ukraine or to neighbouring countries. Many of these people have been displaced for months and face difficulties accessing basic necessities such as food, water, and healthcare.

Economic damage: The conflict has caused significant economic damage to Ukraine, including the destruction of infrastructure and disruption of trade and commerce. This has had a negative impact on the country's economy and has affected the livelihoods of many Ukrainians.

Humanitarian crisis: The conflict has created a humanitarian crisis, with many people lacking access to basic necessities such as food, water, and healthcare. This has led to a high level of suffering, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and the disabled.

Political instability: The conflict has also created political instability in Ukraine, with the government facing challenges in maintaining control over certain regions and populations. This has led to tensions between different groups within the country and has made it difficult to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Overall, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a devastating impact on the country and its people, and has caused significant harm in terms of loss of life, displacement, economic damage, humanitarian crisis, and political instability.

We can provide information about the potential reasons why individuals or groups may choose to ostracize supporters of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

One possible reason is that the invasion of Ukraine is widely considered to be a violation of international law and human rights. The Russian military intervention has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, the displacement of millions, and the annexation of Crimea, which is recognized as Ukrainian territory by the international community.

Many individuals and countries view the invasion as an aggressive act of aggression that threatens regional and global stability. As a result, there may be a moral imperative for individuals or groups to distance themselves from those who support or justify the invasion.

Additionally, ostracizing supporters of the Russian invasion may serve as a form of accountability and deterrence. By refusing to associate with or support individuals who endorse the invasion, others may be discouraged from expressing similar views or engaging in similar actions in the future.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is widely regarded as a violation of international law and a threat to global peace and stability. Many countries and international organizations have condemned the invasion and imposed economic sanctions on Russia in response. Supporting such an invasion goes against the values of international law and diplomacy, and can be seen as condoning aggression and violence.

Furthermore, ostracizing supporters of the invasion may be seen as a way of expressing disapproval and holding them accountable for their actions. By ostracizing supporters, individuals and communities can send a message that such behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

However, it is important to note that ostracism should be done in a peaceful and respectful manner, and should not lead to violence or discrimination. Ultimately, the goal should be to promote understanding, dialogue, and a peaceful resolution to conflicts, rather than further division and hostility.

It's important to note that while it is understandable that people may feel strongly about this issue, it is also important to engage in productive dialogue and seek to understand the perspectives of others, even if they may be different from our own. It is also important to respect the right to free speech and expression, while holding individuals accountable for actions that may harm others.

Mr.Leo Semashko had labelled individuals who tried to engage in productive dialogue with him on his twisted perspectives as Nazi; he adamantly refuses to listen to reasoning. 


He is no longer a member of IAEWP and extirpated with immediate effect.


B. Unraveling Deception: The Fabrication of Peace by Leo Semashko


In the year 2008, Mr. Leo Semashko was sponsored a flight, food and board to speak at the IAEWP 18th World Peace Congress in Malaysia. We discovered to our horror that he could not speak proper basic English despite all of his false  claims of  fluency of the English language, he has assured the organizers of the congress.

In the annals of peace activism, Leo Semashko stands out as a controversial figure whose actions have raised eyebrows and suspicions. At the 2008 IAEWP World Peace Congress in Malaysia, Semashko orchestrated a cunning scheme, a deception veiled in the guise of promoting peace. This deception centered around his obscure concept of "Tetrasociology" as a purported solution for global harmony. But beneath the facade of idealism lies a web of deceit woven by Semashko to advance his own agenda.

The International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP) Congress was a platform for advocates of peace to come together and exchange ideas. It was within this noble setting that Semashko saw an opportunity to thrust his concept of "Tetrasociology" into the limelight. Presenting himself as a champion of peace, Semashko crafted a false declaration, manipulating the Congress to endorse his ideology.

Leo Semashko went home, promoting a fake declaration that the Congress had endorsed and adopted his fictional concept of  "Tetrasociology". This was a shameless act of deceit. 

The concept of "Tetrasociology" touted by Semashko is shrouded in ambiguity, lacking substantive evidence or support from the academic community. Semashko purported it to be a revolutionary theory, claiming it held the key to unlocking global harmony. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that "tetrasherone" is nothing more than a hollow construct, lacking empirical basis or practical application.

That makes Semashko's actions particularly egregious is his deliberate misrepresentation of the Congress's endorsement of his concept. By fabricating support from the IAEWP, Semashko sought to legitimize his ideas and bolster his credibility on the international stage. Yet, this endorsement was built upon a foundation of deceit, eroding the integrity of the Congress and betraying the trust of its participants.

Furthermore, Semashko's manipulation of the Congress undermines genuine efforts for peace, diverting attention and resources away from proven strategies and initiatives. While the world grapples with pressing issues such as conflict resolution, disarmament, and social justice, Semashko's false declaration serves as a distraction, hindering progress and perpetuating division.

In light of these revelations, it was imperative that Semashko was to be held accountable for his actions. His deception at the 2008 IAEWP World Peace Congress represents a betrayal of the principles it espoused, tarnishing the reputation of the peace movement. Moving forward, it is essential that we remain vigilant against such manipulative tactics, ensuring that the pursuit of peace is guided by integrity, transparency, and genuine compassion.

Since 2008, Leo Semashko had been banned from speaking at any and all of IAEWP organized events.


C. Unsubstantiated false narrative : " The GGHA Spheronics Mega Science coauthors of the “Spherons Global Peace Academy” (SGPA) .It consolidated 750 coauthors of spheronics during 18  years, since 2005, from more than 50 countries with the participation of India President Abdul Kalam and 5 Nobel Peace Laureates. " 

It's crucial to critically evaluate and refute unsubstantiated claims to ensure accurate reporting and uphold journalistic integrity. The narrative presented regarding the "Spherons Global Peace Academy" (SGPA) and its alleged collaboration with prominent figures lacks verifiable evidence and raises significant doubts about its credibility.

Firstly, the claim that the SGPA consolidated 750 coauthors of spheronics over 18 years from more than 50 countries lacks any supporting documentation or independent verification. The term "spheronics" itself is vague and lacks recognition within academic or scientific communities, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the organization and its purported achievements.

Furthermore, the assertion that the participation of India President Abdul Kalam and five Nobel Peace Laureates is associated with the SGPA lacks any credible sources or official statements confirming such involvement. Without tangible evidence, it is irresponsible to propagate these claims as factual, as they may mislead the public and undermine trust in legitimate peace-building efforts.

Moreover, attributing the entire narrative to Leo Semashko's imagination underscores the importance of verifying claims through rigorous fact-checking and independent investigation. While individuals may have ambitious visions or aspirations, it is essential to distinguish between genuine accomplishments supported by evidence and unfounded assertions based on conjecture.

In the absence of verifiable evidence and credible sources corroborating the claims made about the SGPA and its purported collaborations, it is imperative to approach such narratives with skepticism and refrain from disseminating unverified information. As journalists, our commitment to accuracy and truthfulness demands rigorous scrutiny of claims to ensure that our reporting is grounded in facts rather than speculation or fantasy.


D. Fraudulent GHA website analytics to deceive the public with claims of over 12 Million visitors every month.


The claim made by Leo Semashko regarding the traffic to his website, where he asserts that 12 to 15 million visitors are reading it ( ON A MONTHLY BASIS ), is highly dubious and lacks any credible evidence to support it. When scrutinized, it becomes apparent that such inflated numbers are likely fabricated or manipulated to inflate the perceived influence of his organization, the Global Harmony Association (GHA).

First and foremost, the disparity between the purported website traffic and the actual membership and engagement levels of the GHA raises serious doubts about the credibility of Semashko's claims. With only about 200 to 300 members, of which only a fraction are active contributors, it is implausible that the website would attract millions of visitors MONTHLY without any significant marketing efforts or external promotion.

Moreover, comparing the fictional website traffic to that of internationally renowned institutions such as the United Nations, the White House, NATO, and the Kremlin is preposterous and baseless. These organizations have vast resources, global recognition, and a broad reach that far exceeds that of a relatively obscure association like the GHA. To suggest otherwise is not only misleading but also undermines the credibility of legitimate sources of information and authority.

Furthermore, the lack of transparency regarding the methodology used to track website traffic and the absence of independent verification further cast doubt on the veracity of Semashko's claims. Without credible data and impartial scrutiny, such assertions remain unsubstantiated and should be treated with skepticism by investigative journalists and the public alike.


E. Dictatorship in GHA


The allegations regarding Leo Semashko's management style within the Global Harmony Association (GHA) paint a concerning picture of autocratic control and suppression of dissenting voices. If true, such behavior would not only undermine the principles of democracy and open discourse but also raise serious ethical concerns within the organization.

Accusations of labeling those who express dissenting opinions as "Nazi supporters" are particularly troubling and suggest a pattern of stifling legitimate critique through character assassination and intimidation tactics. Such ad hominem attacks not only silence opposition but also create a hostile environment that discourages constructive dialogue and diversity of thought.

If Leo Semashko indeed employs such tactics to maintain control over the GHA and suppress dissent, it reflects a profound betrayal of the organization's purported mission of promoting peace, harmony, and cooperation. Peacebuilding efforts require open and inclusive participation, where individuals feel empowered to express their perspectives without fear of retribution or marginalization.

Furthermore, the imposition of absolute dictatorship within the GHA contradicts fundamental principles of democratic governance and accountability. A healthy organization thrives on transparency, collaboration, and respect for differing viewpoints, all of which appear to be lacking in the described scenario.

For investigative journalists, it is imperative to thoroughly investigate these allegations, gather evidence from multiple sources, and provide a platform for individuals to share their experiences and perspectives. Shedding light on instances of authoritarianism and abuse of power within organizations like the GHA is essential for holding leaders accountable and fostering a culture of integrity and accountability in the pursuit of peace and harmony.


F.  Leo Semashko and GHA support the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Ukraine. Is this the way of peace and harmony for the supporters of GHA ?

Allegations of support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Ukraine by Leo Semashko and the Global Harmony Association (GHA) are deeply troubling and contradict the principles of peace, harmony, and human rights that they purportedly advocate for. If substantiated, such support would not only undermine the credibility of Semashko and the GHA but also raise serious ethical questions about their commitment to promoting genuine peace and harmony.

Peace and harmony cannot be achieved through the endorsement or justification of violence, aggression, or human rights abuses. The invasion of Ukraine and the perpetration of genocide are egregious violations of international law and fundamental human rights, resulting in immense suffering and loss of life. Any individual or organization claiming to be advocates for peace must unequivocally condemn such actions and actively work towards resolving conflicts through peaceful and diplomatic means.

Since Mr. Leo Semashko and the silent majority in  GHA have expressed support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the genocide in Ukraine, it would represent a stark departure from the principles of peace and harmony they claim to uphold. Instead of fostering understanding, reconciliation, and cooperation, such actions would sow division, exacerbate conflict, and perpetuate injustice.

For the membership of obscured GHA, it is essential to thoroughly investigate these allegations,, and provide a platform for all perspectives to be heard. Holding individuals and organizations accountable for their words and actions is critical for upholding the values of truth, justice, and human dignity, which are integral to the pursuit of genuine peace and harmony.


H.  Blood on the Hands of the Membership of GHA.


The blood of the dead and dying of the victims of war and the curses of their immediate families for Russian Invasion in Ukraine are on the hands of Leo Semashko and the GHA supporter of the genocide.

Accusations of complicity in the suffering and bloodshed resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine are grave and demand careful consideration. If Leo Semashko and supporters of the Global Harmony Association (GHA) are indeed found to have contributed to or supported actions that have led to human suffering, they must be held accountable for their role.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in unimaginable loss of life, displacement of civilians, and widespread destruction. Those who support or justify such acts bear a moral responsibility for the consequences of their actions. If there is credible evidence linking Semashko or the GHA to support for the invasion or its aftermath, it warrants thorough investigation and scrutiny.

It is important to note, however, that making accusations without substantial evidence can be harmful and unjust. As journalists, it is our duty to uphold the principles of fairness, impartiality, and truthfulness in our reporting. While holding individuals and organizations accountable for their actions is essential, it must be done in a responsible and evidence-based manner.

Ultimately, the pursuit of peace and harmony requires a commitment to justice, empathy, and respect for human rights. Those who claim to advocate for peace must demonstrate genuine compassion for the victims of conflict and actively work towards ending violence and promoting reconciliation. If individuals or organizations are found to have contributed to human suffering, they must face the consequences of their actions in accordance with the principles of accountability and justice.


H.  Some peace workers are questioning if  satanic forces are masquerading as Light of Peace and Harmony through Leo Semashko and GHA Supporter.


Accusing individuals or organizations of being "satanic forces" is a serious claim that requires careful consideration and evidence to support. While disagreements and criticisms may arise regarding the actions or beliefs of individuals like Leo Semashko and groups like the Global Harmony Association (GHA), it is essential to refrain from resorting to sensationalist or inflammatory language without substantial proof.

The characterization of individuals or groups as embodying "satanic forces" is highly subjective and can be perceived as an attempt to demonize or delegitimize them without engaging in meaningful dialogue or debate. Such rhetoric can contribute to polarization and division rather than fostering understanding or resolution of conflicts.

Instead of engaging in accusations based on ideological differences or personal animosities, it is more productive to focus on constructive criticism, evidence-based inquiry, and respectful discourse. By critically examining the actions, beliefs, and impact of individuals and organizations, we can better understand their contributions to society and hold them accountable for any wrongdoing.

Ultimately, the pursuit of peace and harmony requires a commitment to empathy, understanding, and dialogue, even in the face of disagreement or controversy. Rather than resorting to divisive language or accusations, it is important to approach differences with an open mind and a willingness to engage in constructive dialogue towards mutual understanding and resolution.


For the above reason, IAEWP has imposed a LIFETIME ban on Mr. Leo Semashko and those whose hands are stained with the blood of the innocent, the  fatalities and  casualties of war in Ukraine. 

A time will come for the genocide supporters to witness personal pain and tragedy for the pleasure they  derived from the  death of the innocent and depth and destruction. 

Genocide supporters  will only understand the ultimate pain when tragedy strikes their bloodlines and immediate family members. Karma is a boomerang. Your turn will come, ultimately. Are your prepared?
