			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mr. David Vannier,</p>
<p>(I.M.F.)</p>
<p>Thank you for your e-mail, regarding which I would like to state as follow:</p>
<p>1. Regarding the closing of the nomination period on June 10, I must remind you that in my other country Portugal that is a national day, a holiday.</p>
<p>2. For that reason, the national law and international law states that when a period closes on an national day, religious day or holiday, that period it will be extended to the next ordinary day.</p>
<p>3. So, I presented my nomination on June 13, the first ordinary day after June 10th.</p>
<p>4. Therefore, unfortunately I.M.F. must consider my nomination, presented on proper time.</p>
<p>5. Regarding the second part of your e-mail, I must remind you that I.M.F. did not give me an equal opportunity to present my solid program to the honorable governors or to an Executive Director.</p>
<p>6. That didn’t happen with the other candidates, who had that chance, directly or indirectly.</p>
<p>7. If every man is equal on this World, this is a mankind’s Principal that even I.M.F. is obliged to follow.</p>
<p>8. Nevertheless, you must consider the position of my fellow citizen António Borges (Executive Director of I.M.F. for Europe). I’m certain that he will be most satisfied to know and support an application from a Portuguese.</p>
<p>9. Therefore, that anti-Democratic rule of I.M.F. (“you would have had to be nominated by a Governor of the IMF, or an Executive Director”) must be changed at once.</p>
<p>10. On the other hand, I must have, fairly, the opportunity to present my nomination, according to Universal Declaration of Man Rights.</p>
<p>11. And after all, I’m not an ordinary man; I’m Prince by divine right.</p>
<p>I have also the pleasure to inform you that this message will be present to the international press and to diplomatic representation all over the world, especially to the Greeks Authorities, to Portuguese Authorities to the Ireland Republic Authorities, and to the High-Commissary to the Refugees, in the name of which I had present my application.</p>
<p>Sincerely yours, kings regards, and God bless you.</p>
<p>D. Renato I – Prince of Independent Principality of Pontinha</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear representative of the People of the European Union free (for the time being) nations ,</p>
<p>On behalf of His Majesty, D. Renato the First, regarding your meeting in our neighbor Madeira Island, I have the pleasure to invite you to visit Fort São José, the capital of our free State, Principality of Pontinha, and look, with your owns eyes,  the Royal Chart from The King of Portugal, D. Carlos I, signed in 1903, selling not only the property but also the &#8220;dominium&#8221; of His Majesty&#8217;s island, the Forte de São José.</p>
<p>Our free and non violent government of the Principality is also willing to participate, as an observer, in your political European party&#8217;s (PPE&#8217;s family) meeting in Madeira, because it is His Majesty belief that we have many issues in common to discuss, as we all are in a democratic place.</p>
<p>If your portuguese colleagues tell you that they don&#8217;t know His Majesty&#8217;s Principality, or the Prince it-self, and therefore could not get His Majesty&#8217;s Contact, please note this cell phone: +351 96 4011891.</p>
<p>You can see below the links of His Majesty work regarding the recognition of His Principality as an independent state. We think your staff could translate it for your native languages.</p>
<p>His Majesty wish you a very pleasant flight to Madeira Island, his &#8220;niece-island&#8221;, and he his looking forward to have news from all of you shortly.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br />
The Prime-Minister</p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; This invitation will be released to the local, national and international press.</p>

<li> Failing a response within a time considered appropriate, other steps aimed at the intended effect will follow. </li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Assunto: Reconhecimento do Tibete como Estado Independente</strong></p>
<p>Sua Majestade, o Príncipe da Pontinha, D. Renato proclama:</p>
<ol>
<li>O Principado da Pontinha é um Estado independente, ainda que esteja num processo de obtenção do respectivo reconhecimento por parte da Comunidade Internacional.</li>
<li>Por uma questão de deferência histórica, Sua Majestade o Príncipe solicitou tal reconhecimento ao &#8220;País-Irmão&#8221; Portugal.</li>
<li>Na ausência de resposta em tempo considerado oportuno, outras diligências visando o efeito pretendido se seguirão.</li>
<li>Uma vez reconhecido o Principado da Pontinha como Estado soberano e independente, a primeira acção de política externa será o reconhecimento do Estado do Tibete.</li>
<li>Apela Sua Majestade o Príncipe a todos os membros da sociedade civil de cada País que se diga democrático e defensor dos direitos humanos para que pressionem as respectivas autoridades nacionais no sentido de procederem ao reconhecimento do Principado da Pontinha como Estado soberano e independente.</li>
<li>O mesmo apelo é dirigido a todas as associações que defendam os direitos humanos.</li>
<li>Sua Majestade o Príncipe, numa nota pessoal dirigida ao Povo-Irmão de Timor Lorossae, recorda que esteve presente na Praça do Município da cidade vizinha do Funchal na grande vigília pelo Povo de Timor Leste. Sabendo do sofrimento desse mesmo Povo (e das vidas perdidas) em prol da auto-determinação e da independência, apela à solidariedade do Povo de Timor na causa do Principado da Pontinha e do torturado Povo do Tibete.</li>
<li>Mais convida o Príncipe a que Timor Lorossae, mediante Tratado de Amizade e de Cooperação com o Principado da Pontinha, a criar o embrião de uma verdadeira federação de Estados Soberanos Portugueses, que dignifiquem (moral, social e patrimonialmente) os respectivos Povos, quanto mais não seja como exemplo inédito de conduta a propor à &#8220;casta política dirigente&#8221; internacional.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than a month a group of Arabs visited the Forte São José.</p>
<p>They were excited about their story, told from the discovery of the visit of the island of Madeira.</p>
<p>Visiting the center of rock, Forte São José where they were served a port gold in ceramic bowls, excited by the heat of the nectar and icy bottles of Alvarinho of Monção, showed interest in the acquisition and the Carta Regia deposited in London under the auspices of public international law.</p>
<p>We exchanged contacts to build a new and sincere friendship.</p>
<p>There are very few days, the same group of Arabs, after the acquisition will intensify, forcing it to set a price.<br />
The price given was 150.000.000.00, and the supply at the time was close enough. Currently there are negotiations, and the price is fixed.</p>
<p>It is case for saying that the Forte São José costs about 150 Cristiano Ronaldo, this is the new currency of the island of Madeira, is beginning to be used as currency exchange market. Only the Forte São José  does not belong to Portugal and even less to Madeira, which at the time was said that they wanted nothing to know the &#8216;rock&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>O Principado Ilhéu da Pontinha, o país mais pequeno do mundo consagrado segundo as exigências das Nações Unidas com as prerrogativas da Carta Regia passada pelo Rei de Portugal aquando da alienação do ilhéu da Pontinha vendido pelo Estado português e pago conforme documento do respectivo depósito no Banco de Portugal do mesmo ano, sustentado pelo Direito Internacional Publico, ilhéu este localizado nas seguintes coordenadas 32.38m 472 décimos, Oeste 16.55m 0,57 décimos vem informar a comunidade internacional do seguinte:<br />
<span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>O Ex. Sr. Presidente da Assembleia da República Portuguesa diz estar a fazer uma visita de soberania às ilhas que o governador e brigadeiro da ilha da Madeira as compraram para Portugal a 17 de Julho de 1971 conforme consta no Diário da República Portuguesa.</p>
<p>Visitar estas ou outras ilhas qualquer idiota o pode fazer ou ir em lua-de-mel, agora dizer em alto e bom som é grosseiro e de mau agrado se for referido num âmbito de Estado, como é referido publicamente.</p>
<p>É natural á coisas na vida difíceis de engolir tal como por exemplo a ocupação da Índia que passados 12 anos é que Portugal reconheceu que efectivamente não tinha qualquer soberania nas referidas colónias. E como disse Salazar ficaram orgulhosamente sós</p>
<p>Recentemente Portugal até beatificou Nuno Álvares Pereira, talvez num percurso de nostalgia está  a ver se aparece um salvador da pátria tipo que tente readquirir o forte que venderam com a Posse e Domínio porque não tinham.</p>
<p>À época não havia o Banco Europeu de Investimentos, para endividar o povo.</p>
<p>Todo o mundo sabe, desta alienação do Rei de Portugal.</p>
<p>Portugal sabe e o mundo sabe que o documento entregue na Comissão Internacional sobre as áreas marítimas a 11 de Maio de 2009, relativamente á integração das áreas da plataforma continental dos diferentes países com acessibilidade ao mar, órgão dependente da Organização Marítima Internacional (OMI) da ONU, consta como sendo de estado português área respeitante ao que foi alienado em 1903.</p>
<p>A comunidade internacional sabe-o muito bem e mais ainda a Europa velha que Portugal foi dos primeiros impérios do mundo e também o ultimo grande império mas através de muito sangue, que independente do seu minúsculo tamanho foi um país respeitado e consagrado como tal.</p>
<p>Os governantes portugueses que vão ter acesso a este passeio de barco têm conhecimento das missivas solicitadas pelo Principado para de modo diplomático esclarecer algumas dúvidas que o estado português quer esconder e esquecer-se.</p>
<p>Assim a suposta visita de Sua excelência o Sr. Presidente da Assembleia da Republica Portuguesa às referidas ilhas para o Principado do Ilhéu da Pontinha é visto como uma afronta territorial á luz do Direito Internacional Publico de acordo com o Direito Internacional do mar consagrados na organização da (OMI).</p>
<p>Como disse o Ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros portugueses em Paris:</p>
<p> A alternativa ao diálogo é a guerra.</p>
<p>O Príncipe acrescenta que os governantes portugueses sobre este assunto são surdos e mudos, por enquanto.</p>
<p>Que Deus Vos guarde</p></blockquote>
<p>Forte de São José, dia 26 Maio do Ano da Graça de 2009</p>
