And 22 more years before moving permanently to the USA, he had mingled and participated in that country’s different tribes, factions and politics. He had experienced "sit ins" on communist inspired activisms and protests while in school, and became a very active member, moving up to the position of Grand Archon, of a national collegiate fraternity, which is currently growing internationally and involved in civic activities and national humanitarian causes. His contemporaries, from different tribes, beliefs and faiths has evolved themselves to religious clerics, military personnel, professionals, civil servants, business people, private citizens and some went as far as anti government radical activists and rebels from different theological or political factions. In the early nineteen nineties, Peter tried to acquire a career with U.S. federal agencies and other local U.S. law enforcement communities, and one of the essays he wrote on applying with a national security agency in 1991 was entitled: "The Threat of Terror; Terrorism in Our Backyard", in which he foresaw the events that destroyed the stability of his old country of origin trying to get its possible way into the USA. He had seen and had been exposed to the hatred of some elements with the American way of life. And he also observed that some of them ends up, and tries to get themselves in the USA, to get their piece of American and Western style of freedom and liberty, after feeling oppressed, abused if not neglected in their own countries. Or plainly to escape prosecution or persecution. Peter reminded his parents before that if he had stayed in his old country, he would have made it to the rank of general. “Or dead!”, would be his mother’s reply.ver menos
