‘…Dit is die verantwoordelikheid van diegene wat weet om die blinde man op 'n blinde perd te vertel dat hy op pad is na die afgrond…’ Lao Tzu

‘…Ons sien uit na die tyd wanneer die krag van die liefde die liefde van krag sal vervang.’ William Gladstone

 

Ek het gekom om 'n paar realiteite verstaan. Ons het tot aangesig pyn, voel emosies en dialoog ons kwessies redelik met 'n voorneme van verantwoordelikheid, honesty and a win/win as we are in this together. Die uitdaging is om te fokus op wat ons wil met 'n ware bedoeling vir oplossings. If this is achieved many of the problems highlighted by the speakers below will evaporate.

When the love of who we are en innerlike vrede is ons modus operandi-harmonie wat wedersyds voordelige besluite sal inspireer. We will come together in unison to solve and face the pain together in the final realisation that we can evolve beyond our conflicts to discover we are indeed One.

Dit is 'n nul-som-spel wanneer ons dit aan ander doen, doen ons aan onsself, wat ons weerstaan ​​voortduur en te leer wat ons kyk na (gesig) verdwyn. Dit is 'n primordiale universele wysheid. Our world is moving towards this but first we go through the shadow side.

Vrede Joernalistiek is om alle stemme te luister, soos Stephen Covey oordeelkundig verklaar: Om eers probeer verstaan ​​Dan verstaan.

Peace journalism is opgedra aan inspirerende vrede, education and understanding about our world. Soms moet ons die donker kant van ons natuur in die gesig staar ten einde aan die lig te bring (understanding) om dit te. From the perspective of light we can see the dark. Die lewe gaan oor kontraste en besluite neem oor wie ons almal word individueel en gesamentlik.

Vrede is nie 'n onderwerp nie dit is wie ons is as ons in harmonie met onsself en ander kom. Empowering education through listening and dialogue is one of the keys to peace. Its usefulness is in understanding different perspectives and transforming all negativity into compassion. I have categorised a few key areas impacting global community and personal choices.

Een van die sleutels is om diep te luister. Ek is oop vir alle. Daar is geen vyande in my wêreld.

Ek het 'Bridges to Peace' geproduseer en aangebied’ op Plenty Valley FM’ in die Noordweste van Melbourne. My doel was om 'n onderhoud met a wye verskeidenheid stemme om die vraag te verstaan:

‘Wat is vrede?’

I produced 135 programs en onderhoude gevoer met 'n wye verskeidenheid gaste wat oor huidige konflikte praat, peace issues, academics, peace educators, public figures, activists, politicians, soldiers, spiritual persons indeed anyone, who in their way, is seeking a better world.

Wars serving ‘self interest’ not ‘best interest’

‘US is involved in an illegitimate war of aggression’.

This is a recording at the University of Melbourne, Australia of a lecture by Scott Ritter the former US Weapons Inspector in Iraq and CIA operative. He was a whistle blower highlighting the politics and deception of war. He makes clear the war was about name change not regime change. He asserts it was an illegitimate war.

The seeds of Syria and the middle east conflict link to politics and special interests. To prevent a repeat of mistakes in the future we have to understand the history of those in positions of power, the media and how the public are not told the full story. Whistle blowers can assist by informing an uninformed public. The knowing of truths can change everything. Why change? It is not a statement of who you really are!

Part 1: Scott Ritter (12.13). Questions the deception and true intent of the US Government. He asserts the only sedition is silence.

Part 2: Scott Ritter (11.45). What matters is what is going on behind the scenes…

Part 3: Scott Ritter (12.56). What did the United Nations do? …

Part 4: Scott Ritter (13.43). The bottom line is the CIA knew Iraq was disarmed ….

Fools Gold: Until self interest genuinely and visibly becomes best interest and force becomes cooperation, human lives will be taken in the name of false security.

Secrecy and Deception is not in the public interest

‘Worse than Watergate’ (3.23). John Dean former Counsel for Richard Nixon speaks about secrecy …

Fools Gold: Secrecy and deception is the opposite of democracy as a lived experience.

Uranium is Toxic to Everyone

‘War is a Toxic Wasteland’

This is a unique and highly informative interview with Major Douglas Rokke the former head of the Depleted Uranium Project in the Pentagon. He is a whistle blower about the toxic munitions used in war. Here is an excerpt from the interview about his background and conclusion.

“…During Gulf War 1 I was a US Army Health Physicist and I was specifically assigned to clean up the Uranium munitions mass contamination friendly fire contamination from Gulf War 1, that dealt with the United States Military personnel that were wounded or injured during friendly fire using uranium munitions. In 1994-95 I was the Director of the United States Army in the US Department of Defence Depleted Uranium Project. My specific task as Director was to develop the education and training necessary to ensure safe operations of everything around uranium munitions when used, before they’re used or after they’re used, en ook spesifiek getaak hoe om skoon te maak van uraan ammunisie besoedeling. Wat ek geleer het uit eerstehandse ervaring, albei van skoonmaak en doen die navorsing en om die program saam en my eie negatiewe gevolge vir die gesondheid van blootstelling uraan, is uraan ammunisie is 'n katastrofe hulle 'n spoor van gesondheid en die omgewing wat baie eenvoudig vir ewig heers oor die gebruik daarvan te verlaat…”

Part 1: Major Douglas Rokke (9.59). Praat oor sy agtergrond en kernboodskap is om te heers oor uraan, Hy verduidelik die uitgebreide gebruik van uraan ammunisie en waarom …

Part 2: Major Douglas Rokke (15.16). As die Amerikaanse regering gaan om skoon te maak, hoe sou hulle dit doen…?

Fools Gold: Wat jy doen om 'n ander keer terug na die self. Binne toksisiteit is buitenste toksisiteit. Wanneer jy dit versprei na ander dit sal terugkeer na sender. Dit is 'n universele wet. We are One world there are no real boundaries, only those we create when we decide there is an other or enemy to fear.

 

Come Together As One Global Family

‘Questions about Possible Pathways and a Department of Peace’ (3.29)

Nothing can be done from a legal point of view to restrain the United States. Countries can group together.

Fools Gold: Until all countries come together in a spirit of equality and democracy working for the common unity of all, self interest will dominate. Focusing on peace instead of defence (attack) will attract insights into what is in common or shared interests in enlightened forums.

 

Peace Education and Nonviolent Alternatives

‘Peace is a viable alternative to violence’ (10.45).

An Interview with Dr Linda Hogan from the University of Dublin, speaks about peace, nonviolence, justice and violence issues.

Fools Gold: To create a context in which peace issues are taken seriously as a viable alternative to violence in this world. What our history has shown us, force and violence leads to more violence.

 

‘Clowning with Patch Adams, in hospitale, Regoor die wêreld as vrede in aksie’ (14.54).

ABC-onderhoud met Susan Carew

Fools Gold: As you see the world through the eyes of a clown, you will see there is nothing to fear, only true beauty arises. To be a clown is remember not to take life seriously.

 

Soulution: Peace as Oneness, Calmness and Environmental Balance

This interview typifies the idea that the problem is not political but spiritual. What this means is the separated state of consciousness sees itself as separate from others and takes no responsibility for their impact on others. Diegene wat in 'n holistiese bewussyn leef verstaan ​​hulle een met die heelal en mekaar. Baie sal begin om te identifiseer as die fisiese liggaam en verbind met die natuur self of die bron van die lewe. Dit is die opkomende nuwe bewussyn op die planeet. Innerlike vrede weerspieël buitenste vrede. Ons wêreld is 'n spieël van ons geloof stelsels. So as ons die wêreld sien as 'n wêreld van tand en klou (gevaarlike) dan sal ons dit agterkom, As ons sien die wêreld as 'n veilige, vriendelike en pret sal ons hierdie ervaar. Dit gaan nie oor dwing vrede dit gaan oor die maak van vrede met wie en waar jy is. Dit verander alles.

'Joga beteken unie en eenheid’ (13.34)

Die onderhoud met Swamaji 'n Indiese yogi geïllustreer die belangrikheid van innerlike harmonie en buitenste harmonie. Joga beteken unie en 'n gesonde balans. It is to learn emptiness and selflessness unifies with the world as self interest dissolves. The experience of oneness is gentleness. The realisation is that you are one with the world.

Part 1: Swamaji (13.34). Background to life, journey, guru and the benefits of yoga …

Part 2: Swamaji (5.14). Global Climate change is the problem…

Fools Gold: Gentleness, balance and being is peace-full. Climate change is a bigger than terrorism, pesticides and pollution is the inner pollution. When the ocean is dying we cannot live. We are living in a throw away society. We must come back to the nature. Change the consciousness in the people.

Citizen journalism is a growing area where people can become involved and informed. If you do not find information you are seeking then become your own journalist. Always source references for independence and authenticity. Don’t take all information on face value, learn to discern between propaganda and genuine information that provides insights and information to empower citizens around the world. This was my first experience in community journalism, I found freedom from suppression that is usual in mainstream media, therefore I was able to explore any topic in this very fascinating area of inquiry. There are many people concerned and active in creating positive change.
