About

The Quemado Institute website was founded in 2014 as a platform for thoughtful discussion on topics of current interest, including world peace, modern physics, American foreign policy in Europe and Asia, health, and the environment. Due to the urgency of the ongoing war in Donbass, the crisis in Syria, US relations with Russia, and the recent presidential election, these topics are the primary focus of the Institute at the present time.

Quemado Institute formerly published at domain name quemadoinstitute.org. Publication at that site was suspended on July 21, 2017 due to Google and WordPress censorship.

Quemado Institute was named after the elk and wildlife refuge we own and maintain in the high mesa country near Quemado, New Mexico, (see photo). Karl William Pomeroy, Institute founder, is a retired physicist and embedded systems engineer. He now devotes his time to the in-depth study of alternative views on world affairs, particularly concerning US-Russian relations, as well as to classical and jazz piano, bagpipes, and nonstandard theories of gravity and cosmology.

Editor’s Note – April 10, 2016

We continue to advocate friendship with Russia and independence for the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. We urge as well the strategic containment of China which—unlike Russia—has not relinquished the sovereign territories it invaded and seized during the twentieth century, namely Tibet and Xinjiang. Until it grants full independence to these nations, China remains an enemy of global freedom.
