Peace Journalism
Radio Programs Promoting Alternative and Informed Voices for Positive Change
'…Es liegt in der Verantwortung derjenigen, die es wissen, dem Blinden auf einem blinden Pferd zu sagen, dass er auf den Abgrund zusteuert…’ Lao Tzu
'…Wir freuen uns auf die Zeit, in der die Kraft der Liebe die Liebe der Macht ersetzen wird.’ William Gladstone
I have come to understand a few realities. We have to face pain, feel emotions and dialogue our issues fairly with an intention of responsibility, honesty and a win/win as we are in this together. Die Herausforderung besteht darin, sich auf das zu konzentrieren, was wir wollen, mit einer echten Lösungsintention,,en,Wenn die Liebe zu dem, was wir sind, und der innere Frieden unser Modus Operandi ist, wird Harmonie zu gegenseitig vorteilhaften Entscheidungen führen,,en,Was wir widerstehen, bleibt bestehen und wir lernen, was wir sehen,,en,Gesicht,,en,verschwindet,,en,Dies ist eine ursprüngliche universelle Weisheit,,en,Friedensjournalismus heißt, auf alle Stimmen zu hören,,en,wie Stephen Covey weise sagte,,en,Zu suchen, zuerst zu verstehen, dann verstanden werden,,en,Ich bin offen für alle,,en,Es gibt keine Feinde in meiner Welt,,en,Manchmal müssen wir uns der dunklen Seite unserer Natur stellen, um Licht zu bringen,,en,zu ihm,,en,Wir sind Eine Welt, es gibt keine wirklichen Grenzen,,en,nur diejenigen, die wir erschaffen, wenn wir uns entscheiden, dass es einen anderen Feind gibt, den wir fürchten müssen,,en,Zusammenkommen als eine globale Familie,,en,"Fragen über mögliche Wege und ein Friedensministerium,,en. If this is achieved many of the problems highlighted by the speakers below will evaporate.
When the love of who we are und innerer Frieden ist unser Modus Operandi. Harmonie wird für beide Seiten vorteilhafte Entscheidungen inspirieren. 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.
Es ist ein Nullsummenspiel wenn wir das, was wir anderen antun, uns selbst antun, what we resist persists and to learn what we look at (face) disappears. This is a primordial universal wisdom. Our world is moving towards this but first we go through the shadow side.
Peace Journalism is to listen to all voices, as Stephen Covey wisely stated: To Seek First to Understand Then Be Understood.
Peace journalism widmet sich der Förderung des Friedens, education and understanding about our world. Sometimes we have to face the dark side of our nature in order to bring light (understanding) to it. From the perspective of light we can see the dark. Das Leben dreht sich um Kontraste und Entscheidungen darüber treffen wer wir alle werden einzeln und kollektiv.
Frieden ist kein Thema Es ist, wer wir sind, wenn wir mit uns selbst und anderen in Einklang kommen. 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.
Einer der Schlüssel ist, tief zuzuhören. I am open to all. There are no enemies in my world.
Ich habe „Bridges to Peace“ produziert und präsentiert’ auf Plenty Valley FM’ im Nordwesten von Melbourne. Mein Ziel war es, einen zu interviewen große Auswahl an Stimmen um die Frage zu verstehen:

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, and also specifically tasked how to clean up uranium munitions contamination. What I have learned from first-hand experience, both from cleaning and doing the research and putting the program together and my own adverse health effects from uranium exposure, is uranium munitions are a catastrophe they leave a trail of health and environmental effects that very simply rule out their use forever…”
Part 1: Major Douglas Rokke (9.59). Speaking about his background and core message is to rule out depleted uranium, he explains the extensive use of uranium munitions and why …
Part 2: Major Douglas Rokke (15.16). If the US Government was going to clean up, how would they do it…?
Fools Gold: What you do to another returns to the self. Inner toxicity is outer toxicity. When you spread it to others it will return to sender. This is a universal law. 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)
Aus rechtlicher Sicht kann nichts unternommen werden, um die Vereinigten Staaten zurückzuhalten,,en,Länder können zusammen gruppieren,,en,Bis alle Länder im Geiste der Gleichheit und Demokratie zusammenkommen, um für die gemeinsame Einheit aller zu arbeiten,,en,Eigeninteresse wird dominieren,,en,Konzentration auf Frieden statt Verteidigung,,en,Attacke,,en,Sie werden Einblicke in gemeinsame oder gemeinsame Interessen in aufgeklärten Foren gewinnen,,en,Friedenserziehung und gewaltfreie Alternativen,,en,"Frieden ist eine gangbare Alternative zu Gewalt,,en,Ein Interview mit Dr. Linda Hogan von der Universität Dublin,,en,spricht über Frieden,,en,Gerechtigkeit und Gewalt,,en,Es ist das Lernen von Leerheit und Selbstlosigkeit, die sich mit der Welt vereinigt, während sich das Eigeninteresse auflöst,,en,Die Erfahrung der Einheit ist Sanftheit,,en,Die Erkenntnis ist, dass du eins mit der Welt bist,,en,Badeanzüge,,sw,Hintergrund zum Leben,,en,Reise,,en. 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.
„Clownen mit Patch Adams.“, in Krankenhäusern, Als Frieden in Aktion um die Welt’ (14.54).
ABC-Interview mit 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. Those who live in a holistic consciousness understand they are one with the universe and each other. Many will start to identify beyond the physical body and connect with nature itself or the source of life. This is the emerging new consciousness on the planet. Inner peace mirrors outer peace. Our world is a mirror of our belief systems. So if we see the world as a the world of tooth and claw (dangerous) then we will notice this, if we see the world as safe, friendly and fun we will experience this. It is not about forcing peace it is about making peace with who and where you are. This changes everything.
‘Yoga means union and oneness’ (13.34)
The interview with Swamaji an Indian yogi illustrated the importance of inner harmony and outer harmony. Yoga means union and healthy balance. 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 und die Vorteile von Yoga,,en,Der globale Klimawandel ist das Problem,,en,Sanftmut,,en,Gleichgewicht und Sein ist Frieden voll,,en,Der Klimawandel ist größer als der Terrorismus,,en,Pestizide und Verschmutzung ist die innere Verschmutzung,,en,Wenn der Ozean stirbt, können wir nicht leben,,en,Wir leben in einer wegwerfenden Gesellschaft,,en,Wir müssen zur Natur zurückkehren,,en,Ändere das Bewusstsein in den Menschen,,en,Auflistung von Friedensjournalismus-Programmen,,en,Bürgerjournalismus ist ein wachsendes Gebiet, in dem sich Menschen einbringen und informieren können,,en,Wenn Sie keine Informationen finden, die Sie suchen, dann werden Sie Ihr eigener Journalist,,en …
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.
Listing of Peace Journalism Programs
Siehe „Brücken zum Frieden“.’ Auflistung der Radioprogramme: https://www.worldpeacefull.com/peace-journalism/bridges-to-peace-radio-program/
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.
