ABOUT THE SUTTON VIEWPOINT CENTER
ABOUT THE SUTTON VIEWPOINT CENTER
It is instructive to recall the Sutton Viewpoint Center's origins and why SVC President & Founder, Phil Sutton, created what is now the largest Public Policy Advocacy and Education Corporation in the World!
In the Winter 1995-1996 and the Spring of 1996, Phil seriously considered running for Montana Governor. Instead, Phil decided that while he didn't desire (couldn't afford) to run for Governor, he still wanted to be involved in American Public Policy in a meaningful way. His solution was SVC. He signed the Articles of Incorporation on Thursday, July 4, 1996.
ANONYMITY TO WEBCAST TO SVC-TV
Speaking of which, the 9-11-01 al Qaeda attacks changed Everyone's Lives. That morning former U.S. Senator and then-University of Oklahoma President, David Boren was meeting with then-CIA Director George Tenet. After the attacks, David provided a manuscript of Phil's No Tolerance Terrorism Policy from his Doctoral Dissertation and his Book. U.S. President George W. Bush would quote verbatim from that manuscript that night when Addressing a stunned nation. It became the Bush Doctrine and basis for his “War On Terror.”
Further, Phil's Book was scheduled to go to Press that Friday, September 14th. It never happened. Instead, its Publication Date was postponed from October 14, 2001 to January 21, 2002. Because the original University Book Tour required Phil to Lecture in particular classes, the Professors complained that lecturing in the Winter/Spring rather than the Autumn threw their Syllabi out of sync.
Thus, the Publication was once again moved to the late Summer, on SVC Vice President, Angelica Sutton's 28th Birthday, September 6, 2002. It was a late Wedding Gift from the Groom to the Bride (They were married July 4, 2002). REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM first appeared under its new Title at the SVC 2002 Founder's Day General Conference at Althorp, West Northamptonshire, England where the 35 SVC International Governors were the first Recipients.
Key to SVC's success, though, is that Phil kept many of the PPF's which were scheduled from February through May. This gave SVC a head start in developing the SVC Public Policy Forum Concept. By the time the University Book Tour did begin, Phil had many of the kinks worked out. The SVC PPF became SVC's primary Outreach mechanism.
Attendance started at a couple hundred if SVC was lucky! Phil has vivid memories of SVC's first visit to the Bradley Center on the Marquette University Campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
On March 25, 2004, just over 500 People came by. The capacity for the Bradley Center is 20,000 officially. Phil felt uncomfortable with so many empty seats even though it was a great turnout for SVC at the time! During the SVC 2014 Children's Day General Conference & PPF & Education Tours a decade later, SVC had the Bradley Center filled to the rafters, squeezing in 21,000 Participants in on a beautiful Spring night in the upper Midwest!
During the Duluth, Minnesota, GC two days later, many vital Decisions were made, including who would Build the SVC Apex Building and discussions began regarding SVC's feasibility of operating its own Television Network.
The Apex Building was completed on October 18, 2004, the 19th Anniversary of Phil's first wife, Patti's murder. SVC-TV, after long last, would debut 19 months later on May 19, 2006. With the latter, SVC PPF Attendance soared to an average of well over a thousand and today, it is not uncommon for SVC to average over 75,000 Participants per PPF!
SVC BECOMES AN INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON
What cinched the deal for SVC was actually outside SVC's control. The first was Phil's Appointment by U.S. President George W. Bush as US Ambassador Plenipotentiary and as a Board Director for the U.S. Institute of Peace. This gave Phil, thereby SVC, International stature and allowed Phil to renew many old Friendships he had made during his U.S. Navy Active Duty Service after Operations Desert Shield & Desert Storm in 1991.
By accompanying President Bush to the G-8 Summits in Scotland in 2005; Russia in 2006; and Germany in 2007, Phil was able to parlay many of those opportunities to a great International Expansion for SVC. REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM also became amazingly popular Internationally, even though it is written predominantly for an American audience.
In late 2005, Phil was the Primary Author of the Responsibility To Protect Statutes, now Principle of International Law. The supreme irony is that the USA is hopefully going to be the first Nation in which the Process is completed in full, although Obama and Biden have fought its implementation and United Nations has been forced to intervene on Americans behalf. Donald Trump has entered into an Agreement with the International Tribunals and the United Nations to end the infiltration of organized terrorism into the United States of America.
Also, Phil was asked by President Bush to Represent the USA at the European Union Economic Summits in December 2006, 2007 & 2008. The Governors enjoyed their opportunity for the SVC Swiss International GC in December 2007 as a result of Phil's Diplomatic work!
Now, every time SVC goes International, our arrival is treated like a Diplomatic Mission! SVC has simply become an International phenomenon in its Own Right!
The other unmistakable break for SVC came from the George Foster Peabody Awards. The Peabody Awards are the oldest for the Media and add instant Worldwide Credibility to the Winners. Angelica had won her first Peabody Award in 2002 for her coverage of the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon. In 2005 and again in 2006, however, both of the Suttons won coveted Awards in two separate Categories. Angelica won for her work in Production of the SVC Webcasts of the PPF's; Phil won as Managing Editor of the same. In 2007-2023 they have repeated as Winners for SVC-TV and SVC-TV International Broadcasts.
SVC-TV and SVC-TV International have topped the International ratings for over 14 years, but most Americans have never heard of them. That will change.
CNN and Fox News will be replaced by SVC-TV and SVC-TV International. Both cable news outlets have committed serious infractions against the basic concepts of fair and impartial reporting as well as engaging in unfair trade practices which have blacklisted SVC-TV and SVC-TV International from being seen by most American Audiences.
Likewise, the Publishing Industry have blacklisted Phil's and other SVC Affiliates' books and Articles. The World Trade Organization has levied 10% penalties for this continual practice and eventually will take all incentive away from Publishers to blacklist some of the most popular and award writings in history such as The Holy Bible; Revival of the American Dream; A Man of Principle; To Kill a Mockingbird; The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; A Brave New World; and Trailblazer to Revival of the American Dream.
SVC CONTRIBUTIONS
The SVC DreamWeaver Plexus is the name given to Phil's 21st Century Marshall Plan. The original Marshall Plan was an American initiative named after Secretary of State George Marshall that was enacted in 1948 to provide foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred $13.3 billion in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II.
The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity and prevent the spread of communism.
The goals of the SVC DreamWeaver Plexus are similar. The SVC Mission Statement is as follows:
SVC INTERNATIONAL DREAMWEAVER PLEXUS WHICH HAS SUCCESSFULLY DEMOCRATIZED THE WORLD & ESTABLISHED A LIFESTYLE WHERE THERE IS ONLY PEACE, PROSPERITY AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION EVERYWHERE ON EARTH.
SVC holds a World Democratization Conference every July with a average participation worldwide of 2.7 billion. SVC has assisted in several Democratization efforts in Oceania, Indochina, the Middle East and Africa.
Phil has developed an Economic Democracy Concept that has brought the Countries of Vanuatu in Oceania and Malawi in Africa from abysmal poverty with unemployment of over 20% to virtually full employment economies in just a few years.
After 32 years in Financial Services, Phil developed his Living Security Insurance Product that guarantees a minimum subsistence level for all inhabitants of the Earth and is the only comprehensive health and life insurance program ever devised. Living Security is purely a private program and has no government sponsorship or financial support of any kind.
SVC started the Africa Project in 2007 to fight Ebola and AIDS; to develop African economies; and as a counterterrorism program, denying organized terrorism its rich cache of potential recruits amongst some of the poorest people in the world.
In 2018, SVC initiated its Trailblazer Education & Training Program designed to teach indigenous populations to build their own local economies, agricultural production, housing, schools and democratic governance. There are over 100 million past and current Graduates/Participants in Trailblazer Education & Training Program, adding approximately 49,700 new Participants every day.
Between 1948 and 1952, the United States Congress appropriated $13.3 billion to the Marshall Plan ($130 billion in 2024 dollars). In the years between 2019-2023, the SVC DreamWeaver Plexus contributed $595 billion through its Donors and Affiliates.
