the prerogative returns to the People
We are heartened that divergent groups of brave, freedom loving people of conscience came together to form a multinational peace force to assist their fellow human beings in distress – the highest ideal of civilised humanity and the major religions has been realised by a humanitarian aid convoy sailing to relieve the long suffering people of Gaza. It seems the designs of a few sick Zionist minds to transform the new century into a permanent warring hell may have been thwarted. Peaceful resistance has been re-affirmed as the most powerful force for social change known to civilised society. [I need not remind readers which nations adhere to the ideology of ‘permanent war’ – this past decade bears horrific testimony to the carnage perpetrated on an unsuspecting world by ISRAEL and AMERICA.]
The world has witnessed, these past few days, a peaceful CIVILIAN aid flotilla brutally attacked by a militaristic nation that thinks it can MURDER anyone it pleases, anytime it pleases, with impunity. Too long has the world witnessed horrendous war and other crimes against humanity committed by ISRAEL/AMERICA/NATO in open defiance of international law, convention and ALL civilised moral and ethical codes. We need not tolerate these crimes and the criminal perpetrators any longer!
This past decade has seen criminal nations commit their heinous crimes without the slightest fear of LEGAL reprisal. When our State institutions and political/religious and other leaders FAIL us it is the common people that show us the way back to civilisation and PEACEFUL relations.
I take this opportunity to HIGHLIGHT the under-reported fact that our leaders have failed us and that the PEOPLE, as demonstrated by the aid flotilla, are able to RESTORE our nations and communities to a peaceful co-existence.
China and Russia have clearly FAILED to assert their rightful place, as superpowers, and create a BALANCE in WORLD AFFAIRS. For shame, little wonder these two cowering ‘superpowers’ are treated with mocking contempt by the criminal elites that currently reign terror on the world.
Yet a multinational civilian aid flotilla defied them all and aroused an apathetic world from its torpor. Israel’s plan to consciously murder unarmed activists and intimidate/deter those wishing to defy its ILLEGAL blockade and stage future protests has clearly backfired. A number of citizens with no other desire other than to help those in need and highlight the injustices of a criminal blockade have paid the ultimate price for their heroic efforts – we must NEVER allow any peace activist or humanitarian aid worker to DIE in VAIN. The issue must remain firmly in the consciousness of the world community until such time as JUSTICE is SERVED.
Corrupt criminal courts and puppet leaders have ignored the problem and failed to remedy the GROSS injustices that occur almost daily; the vacuum of inaction has (necessarily) been filled by peace and humanitarian workers and the human need for simple JUSTICE!
We no longer look to our rotten houses of government, puppet politicians and corrupt theologians for solutions; we look to OUR collective conscience and to the brave PEOPLE that refuse to accept the rule of tyrants, rogues, criminals and murderers.
It is the common people that have once again successfully responded where everyone else has failed. Peaceful resistance has been re-discovered as the most powerful means of social change. Corporatist military rule may have met its match these past few days. Perhaps now it is time for all of us to set things right AGAIN.
We are ABLE; we are ONE!
Peace.
