Quotes for a Culture of Peace
~ Vandana Shiva
"Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice."
~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice."
~ Benedict Spinoza (1632-1677)
"War crushes with bloody heel all justice, all happiness, all that is Godlike in man. In our age there can be no peace that is not honorable; there can be no war that is not dishonorable."
~ Charles Sumner
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
"An act of justice closes the book on a misdeed; an act of vengeance writes one of its own"
~ Marilyn Vos Savant
"We desire peace - and that is why we have never resorted to physical force. We crave for justice - and that is why we are so persistent in the struggle for our rights. We seek freedom of convictions - and that is why we have never attempted to enslave man's conscience, nor shall we ever attempt to do so. We are fighting for the right of the working people to association and for the dignity of human labor. We respect the dignity and the rights of every man and every nation. The path to a brighter future of the world leads through honest reconciliation of the conflicting interests and not through hatred and bloodshed. To follow that path means to enhance the moral power of the all-embracing idea of human solidarity."
~ Lech Walesa
"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all."
~ George Washington
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."
~ Elie Wiesel
"There is no freedom without justice.”
~ Simon Wiesenthal
"If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present."
~ Mairead Corrigan Maguire
"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life . . ."
~ Nelson Mandela
"It is a good moment to repeat that a war is never won. Never mind that history books tell us the opposite. The psychological and material costs of war are so high that any triumph is a pyrrhic victory. Only peace can be won and winning peace means not only avoiding armed conflict but finding ways of eradicating the causes of individual and collective violence: injustice and oppression, ignorance and poverty, intolerance and discrimination. We must construct a new set of values and attitudes to replace the culture of war which, for centuries, has been influencing the course of civilization. Winning peace means the triumph of our pledge to establish, on a democratic basis, a new social framework of tolerance and generosity from which no one will feel excluded."
~ Federico Mayor
"It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
~ Robert F. Kennedy
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
~ Martin Luther King, Jr
"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood."
~ Martin Luther King, Jr
"We have ancient habits to deal with, vast structures of power, indescribably complicated problems to solve. But unless we abdicate our humanity altogether and succumb to fear and impotence in the presence of the weapons we have ourselves created, it is as possible and as urgent to put an end to war and violence between nations as it is to put an end to poverty and racial injustice."
~ Martin Luther King Jr (1929-1968)

Nick Drake Lyrics
"Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find its shore.
So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.
Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn.
Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say.
And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'til there's no more to hide.
So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love.
Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore."

The Destruction of a Civilization
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article23342.htm
"The sustained bloody purge of Iraq under US occupation resulted in the killing 1.3 million Iraqi civilians during the first 7 years after Bush invaded in March 2003. Up to mid-2009, the invasion and occupation of Iraq has officially cost the American treasury over $666 billion. This enormous expenditure attests to its centrality in the larger US imperial strategy for the entire Middle East/South and Central Asia region. Washington’s policy of politicizing and militarizing ethno-religious differences, arming and encouraging rival tribal, religious and ethnic leaders to engage in mutual bloodletting served to destroy national unity and resistance. The ‘divide and rule’ tactics and reliance on retrograde social and religious organizations is the commonest and best-known practice in pursuing the conquest and subjugation of a unified, advanced nationalist state. Breaking up the national state, destroying nationalist consciousness and encouraging primitive ethno-religious, feudal and regional loyalties required the systematic destruction of the principal purveyors of nationalist consciousness, historical memory and secular, scientific thought. Provoking ethno-religious hatreds destroyed intermarriages, mixed communities and institutions with their long-standing personal friendships and professional ties among diverse backgrounds. The physical elimination of academics, writers, teachers, intellectuals, scientists and professionals, especially physicians, engineers, lawyers, jurists and journalists was decisive in imposing ethno-religious rule under a colonial occupation. To establish long-term dominance and sustain ethno-religious client rulers, the entire pre-existing cultural edifice, which had sustained an independent secular nationalist state, was physically destroyed by the US and its Iraqi puppets."
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." U.S President James Madison 1751-1836

Would it be an altogether nicer place?
No war, no poverty, no famine, no mutilated babies, no pollution, no nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction, no fear? Then logic dictates that whatever the world is reflects the wishes of the controller.
If the world is sick and evil, then that is the wish of its master."

My sister switched me on to this and she has made 5 loans all of which have been paid back.
I have made 1 loan which was paid back.
I tell everyone I know about Kiva, but get much resistance from people who don't trust it.
I suggest if you like the idea then do a bit of research on Kiva. Research will show you that it is very legitimate and you will not be ripped off. It's a great way to help those in the developing World to lift themselves from poverty in a positive way and is very rewarding in my experience.
In my view it's one nail in the coffin of the despicable banking cartels.

Dubya and his justification for killing 1.4 million Iraqis
http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&page=haught_29_5
A French Revelation, or The Burning Bush
JAMES A. HAUGHT
Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible’s satanic agents of the Apocalypse.
Honest. This isn’t a joke. The president of the United States, in a top-secret phone call to a major European ally, asked for French troops to join American soldiers in attacking Iraq as a mission from God.Now out of office, Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their “common faith” (Christianity) and told him: “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.
This bizarre episode occurred while the White House was assembling its “coalition of the willing” to unleash the Iraq invasion. Chirac says he was boggled by Bush’s call and “wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs.”
After the 2003 call, the puzzled French leader didn’t comply with Bush’s request. Instead, his staff asked Thomas Romer, a theologian at the University of Lausanne, to analyze the weird appeal. Dr. Romer explained that the Old Testament book of Ezekiel contains two chapters (38 and 39) in which God rages against Gog and Magog, sinister and mysterious forces menacing Israel. Jehovah vows to smite them savagely, to “turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,” and slaughter them ruthlessly. In the New Testament, the mystical book of Revelation envisions Gog and Magog gathering nations for battle, “and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
In 2007, Dr. Romer recounted Bush’s strange behavior in Lausanne University’s review, Allez Savoir. A French-language Swiss newspaper, Le Matin Dimanche, printed a sarcastic account titled: “When President George W. Bush Saw the Prophesies of the Bible Coming to Pass.” France’s La Liberte likewise spoofed it under the headline “A Small Scoop on Bush, Chirac, God, Gog and Magog.” But other news media missed the amazing report.
Subsequently, ex-President Chirac confirmed the nutty event in a long interview with French journalist Jean-Claude Maurice, who tells the tale in his new book, Si Vous le Répétez, Je Démentirai (If You Repeat it, I Will Deny), released in March by the publisher Plon.
Oddly, mainstream media are ignoring this alarming revelation that Bush may have been half-cracked when he started his Iraq war. My own paper, The Charleston Gazette in West Virginia, is the only U.S. newspaper to report it so far. Canada’s Toronto Star recounted the story, calling it a “stranger-than-fiction disclosure … which suggests that apocalyptic fervor may have held sway within the walls of the White House.” Fortunately, online commentary sites are spreading the news, filling the press void.
The French revelation jibes with other known aspects of Bush’s renowned evangelical certitude. For example, a few months after his phone call to Chirac, Bush attended a 2003 summit in Egypt. The Palestinian foreign minister later said the American president told him he was “on a mission from God” to defeat Iraq. At that time, the White House called this claim “absurd.”
Recently, GQ magazine revealed that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld attached warlike Bible verses and Iraq battle photos to war reports he hand-delivered to Bush. One declared: “Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground.”
It’s awkward to say openly, but now-departed President Bush is a religious crackpot, an ex-drunk of small intellect who “got saved.” He never should have been entrusted with the power to start wars. For six years, Americans really haven’t known why he launched the unnecessary Iraq attack. Official pretexts turned out to be baseless. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction after all, and wasn’t in league with terrorists, as the White House alleged. Collapse of his asserted reasons led to speculation about hidden motives: Was the invasion loosed to gain control of Iraq’s oil—or to protect Israel—or to complete Bush’s father’s vendetta against the late dictator Saddam Hussein? Nobody ever found an answer.
Now, added to the other suspicions, comes the goofy possibility that abstruse, supernatural, idiotic, laughable Bible prophecies were a factor. This casts an ominous pall over the needless war that has killed more than four thousand young Americans and cost U.S. taxpayers perhaps $1 trillion.
James A. Haught is the editor of the Charleston Gazette (West Virginia)

The Imminent False-Flag Terror Attack in the US
"Mark my words," Joe Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night.
"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America”
"Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy”
"And he's going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially; it's not going to be apparent that we're right”
Joe Biden, US Vice-President
Dick Cheney said “the ultimate threat to the country” is “a 9/11-type event where the terrorists are armed with something much more dangerous than an airline ticket and a box cutter – a nuclear weapon or a biological agent of some kind” that is deployed in the middle of an American city
“That’s the one that would involve the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, and the one you have to spend a hell of a lot of time guarding against,” he said.
“I think there’s a high probability of such an attempt. Whether or not they can pull it off depends whether or not we keep in place policies that have allowed us to defeat all further attempts, since 9/11, to launch mass-casualty attacks against the United States”

When ?.....
Expect something BIG to happen soon.
The evil powers that be who carry out all these false-flag operations (9/11, 7/7 and all the others) are obsessed with numerology. It is also part of their 'marketing' strategy for the false 'war on terror'.
Why the date 9/11 ? - well , because the number 911 is the number Americans dial in an emergency, hence they associate 911 with an emergency. It therefore makes the date memorable and always associated with an 'emergency' - in this case America under 'attack' - when in fact they attacked their own people, precisely to justify going to war on some very poor, but strategically , and natural resource important nations.
Similarly London's '7/7' - chosen as an easily memorable date for the 'sheeple' to remember and associate in their minds with being under attack by muslims.
For historical examples of false-flag attacks there are many, but probably the most important was the Gulf of Tonkin incident where America claimed their ships had been attacked by the North Vietnamese. This allowed President Johnson to launch the Vietnam war without having to get the Senate to approve it, on the premise that America had been attacked. Within a year Johnson admitted that the Gulf of Tonkin attacks hadn't happened, but this was now irrelevant as America was now in a war - a war that cost millions of lives.
Watch carefully what they do next, and be aware, when the next '9/11' happens, 1) who has done it, 2) why they have done it & 3) what they do next in 'reaction' to being 'attacked'
Note what David Icke said well :
“The plan is to engineer events, real and staged, that will create enormous fear in the countdown years to 2012. This includes a plan to start a third world war either by stimulating the Muslim world into a Holy War against the West or by using China to cause global conflict. Maybe both.”

Hitler
“What luck for the rulers that men do not think.”
Hitler
“The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies.”
Hitler
“The great masses of the people ... will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.”

“I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.”
US President Harry S Truman
“Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
Herman Goering
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
Dr. Joseph Goebbels
“The plan is to engineer events, real and staged, that will create enormous fear in the countdown years to 2012. This includes a plan to start a third world war either by stimulating the Muslim world into a Holy War against the West or by using China to cause global conflict. Maybe both.”
David Icke - The Biggest Secret 1998.
“The Bush inauguration marks the start of the massive push by the Illuminati to further their agenda for a global fascist state. You will see this clearly unfolding in the next 24 months and, as usual, watch what they do, not what they say. Given that line-up and their mentality and agenda, don’t be at all surprised if the United States finds itself in another manipulated war during this administration. You will see monsters being created in the public mind to justify such action.”
David Icke website the day George Bush was inaugurated, January 20th 2001.
"At the end of the game the King and the Pawn go into the same box."
Italian proverb
"With numbing regularity good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe. ... A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act and without limitations of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority."
Dr. Stanley Milgram 1965
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
U.S. President James Madison 1751-1836
Economics Quotes
US President Thomas Jefferson
(In the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill 1809)
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
US President Woodrow Wilson
(A few years after he had signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act)
"The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing... Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits."
Josiah Stamp
Director of the Bank of
"Each and every time a bank makes a loan (or purchases securities), new bank credit is created — new deposits — brand new money... Broadly speaking, all new money comes out of a Bank in the form of loans. As loans are debts, then under the present system all money is debt."
Governor of the Central Bank of
“We have in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. They are not government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of the
What king ever robbed his subjects to such an extent as the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks have robbed us? I think it can hardly be disputed… that the control over our gold and our credit power through the Federal Reserve System has fallen into the hands of powerful international financiers. Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this country by bankers who came here from
Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932
Referring to the Great Depression :
“It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence… The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge rulers of us all”
Congressman Louis T. McFadden
( Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency from 1920 to 1931 .There were two attempts on McFadden's life, a failed shooting and an apparent poisoning that made him "violently ill" after attending a political banquet in Washington. source : Robert Edward Edmondson, Pelley's Weekly, October 14, 1936)
"I care not what the politics of a nation are, give me control of it's money supply and I will decide it's politics"
Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812)
Founder of the Rothschild family international banking dynasty
"This new law [the Federal Reserve Act] will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. It may not do so immediately, but ... if the trusts can get another period of inflation, they figure they can unload the stocks on the people at high prices during the excitement and them bring on a panic and buy them back at low prices... The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed."
Congressman Lindberg. December 22, 1913.
"Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry, and commerce ... and when you realize that the system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation, and depression originate."
US President James Garfield. 1881
