Justice deferred is justice denied…

Howlin’ Wolf – How Many More Years

Instead of pretending mainstream media has anything to offer, we can access alternative resources…

It becomes clear, when everyday people demand peace, justice and freedom… they are not asking for all that much.

We must secure peace, but so-called leaders have not bothered for the past 38 years. Instead, the last six presidents have gone to war against smaller and less powerful nations for extraction, extortion, exploitation and worse. This has not been workin’ out real well and it’s time to shift gears.

We must invest in rebuilding the nation, fixing schools, restoring infrastructure and exporting knowledge, technology and peace while we restore and repair the Earth. We can find the courage to stand firm against the export of terror, munitions and wars costing trillions and killing millions.

We can put people and peace over conquest and chaos to preserve justice in global communities.

Freedom is like a flower nurtured in peacetime, which yields justice… sometimes blossoming into joy.

War is surrender,
peace is victory
and we
do not have to settle
for lesser evil,

Because love works. ~OO~

“Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash: your picture in the paper nor money in the back either. Just refuse to bear them.”

― William Faulkner, Intruder in the Dust

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

“There is a power that can be created out of pent-up indignation, courage, and the inspiration of a common cause, and that if enough people put their minds and bodies into that cause, they can win. It is a phenomenon recorded again and against in the history of popular movements against injustice all over the world.”

“A NATION’S GREATNESS DEPENDS ON ITS LEADER

To vastly improve your country and truly make it great again, start by choosing a better leader. Do not let the media or the establishment make you pick from the people they choose, but instead choose from those they do not pick.
…Pick a peacemaker. One who unites, not divides. A cultured leader who supports the arts and true freedom of speech, not censorship. Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes — or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war. An honest broker in foreign relations. A leader with integrity, one who says what they mean, keeps their word and does not lie to their people.

...Most importantly, a great leader must serve the best interests of the people first, not those of multinational corporations. Human life should never be sacrificed for monetary profit. There are no exceptions. In addition, a leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty hands to be revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness.

Stein Calls for Transformational Solutions to Address Climate Crisis and Wars of Choice…

From a POST BY DAVID SCHWAB ON DECEMBER 09, 2015

(PARIS) In Paris for the United Nations climate conference, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein spoke at a forum on “Women Facing Climate Change”. Stein was invited to speak by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, organizers of the forum.

Here are her remarks:

“Thank you for being here today at this conference on climate and militarism, and for leading the charge for a world that works for all of us.

This is an historic moment, as global crises of climate, security, the economy, and democracy converge in Paris.

“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

― Arundhati Roy, War Talk
