Here are some things others have done for the sake of Peace

Video by former Senator Mike Gravel (Alaska), Democratic candidate for President.

In 1971, He waged a successful one-man filibuster for five months that forced the Nixon administration to cut a deal, effectively ending the draft in the United States.

He is perhaps best known for his release of the Pentagon Papers, the secret official study that revealed the lies and manipulations of successive U.S. administrations that misled the country into the Vietnam War.

Here is a beautiful effort by a great young guy named Trevor Dougherty This video was nominated for "Most Inspirational" in the YouTube Video Awards 2007. It has also been viewed in 197 countries, from Afghanistan to Zambia. THANKS YOUTUBE!

We urge you to stand up for WORLD PEACE! ¡Paz de mundo! Paix dans le monde! Weltfrieden! Pace di mondo! De wereldvrede! Paz mundial! Мир во всем мире! Verdenfred!








This should give us an idea of how our peace efforts can be buried and forgotten. Peace is about humanity, life, kindness, equality and respect for each of us as we live. Peace is not a new or radical or dreamy or fashionable concept. Peace is essential to each of us on this planet. One year before the second world war broke out the following video was created.


Peace on Earth is a 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon short subject directed by Hugh Harman, about a post-apocalyptic world populated by animals.

Dr Taylor teaches us how to attain deep inner peace - easily, simply, without drugs, anytime we want it. Forgive me for doing everything I can to be sure everyone reads this book and sees this video, but I think all of us benefit and in the larger sense, if everyone reads this, our world will benefit in a very large way.
