The Way To Peace! #56 -Revisited-
I recently "Read a Quote by Mahatma Gandhi" which I Would like to Share with You, It said, "In a Gentle Way You Can Shake the World." And, "This Quotation has Resonated within my Consciousness" ever since,"You Can Shake the World!" And Yes, I Believe that "We" Can!
Why? Because, "We are The World," and "It is of The Greatest Importance" that "We The People," Citizens of The Earth Begin to, as the Saying Goes, "Flex Our Muscles," Non-Violently of course, "Because The Time has Come For A Global Movement of Activism" to Take Place! A Twenty-First Century Version of "The Satyagraha Movement!"
And, "No Political Party, Country, or Religion" has "The Right to Dictate to Us," What is Best for Us, Unless, "They've Learned" to "Live in Our Moccasins," as the Saying Goes!
But, "Let me Return to The Point," that "We Can Shake The World," and "Re-Make The World" to "Better Represent We The People," with "Representation" that is "Truly Of The People, By The People, and For The People!"
And, Whether it "Be Politically, Spiritually, Economically, or Philosophically" There is "No Reason Why We Cannot Re-Make The World to Better Suite Our Needs!"
And, "Yes," of Course, "We Welcome All the Leaders who Attended The G-20 Hamburg Summit on the Seventh and Eighth of July, 2017, "Chancellor Merkel of Germany, President Macron of France, President Trump of The United States, President Jinping of China, Prime Minister May of The United Kingdom, Prime Minister Abe of Japan, Prime Minister Modi of India, EU President Tusk of the EC, EU President Claude-Juncker of the EC, and Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada, and President Putin of Russia, and President Nieto of Mexico, and Prime Minister Gentiloni of Italy," and "All the Participating Leaders of Nations," and "Representatives of International Organizations," and "All The Leaders of The Earths United Nations," and "Religious Leaders, to "Continue to Increase Their Strategic Initiatives," and "Re-Dedicate Themselves Towards The Pursuit of Their Goals and Ideals," of "A Magnificent Achievement of A Global Policy and Way of Life," that "Embraces A Grand Purpose," that is "In The Best Interest of All The Earths Populace!"
"A Grand Purpose" that "Better Suits The Needs of The People," Truly, "A Grand Sphere of Influence that Holds the Welfare of All The Citizens of The Earth," and "All Sentient Beings," as "Dear and Precious!"
"A Grand Purpose," that "Erases Poverty from The Face of This Earth," at a "Cost Much Less than The Cost of The (UN-Declared) War in Iraq, for Example! Without All of The Destruction and Loss of Life!
And, "Let Us Shake The World," and "Re-Make The World to Resemble the Kind of World" that "We" were Brought up to Believe in!" A World that "Our Future Generations Can Rejoice in!"
This "Does Not Mean that We Can Not Continue to Defend and Protect Our Families, Fellow Human Beings, Principles and Values" from "The Attacks of Tyrants," and "Syndicates of Murderers and Criminals" who "Seek to Terrorize, Control, and Oppress Us!"
It Simply Means that "We Can also Prioritize Living in Peace and Global Equilibre, into Our Lives," and "Remain Focused and Concentrated on Achieving A Grand Purpose of Being!"
And, "We" Can Shake and Re-Make The World" into "A Universal State of Being" that "Respectfully Exists within A State of Peaceful Co-Existence with One and All!"
And, "What Do I Base my Thoughts on?" Another Meaningful and Wonderful Quotation by The Mahatma, Which is,"My optimism rests on my belief in the Infinite possibilities of The Individual to develop non-violence."
And, "I Sincerely Do Believe in The Limitless Possibilities of This Age!"
For, It has "The Great Potential to Be A Magnificent Inception to A New Millennium of Peace!"
"Let's Agree For Once and For All," that "The Age of Imperialism is Over! And, "World Powers have to Realize that!"
And, "President Xi Jinping of China Should Realize by Now," that "Any Serious Attempts to Dominate The South Sea, or Asia, Will Not Be Successful," Nor, "Will It Lead to a Policy of Peaceful Coexistence amongst Its Neighbors in The Region!"
And, "Both China and India have to Deescalate the Military Tension" that has "Increased along the Bhutanese Territory of Boklam," which is "Near the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-Junction," and "Search for Diplomatic Solutions to This Rising Threat of Confrontation!"
For, "This Military Escalation Can only Lead to More Violence in This Region," and If, This is An Example of President Xi Jinping's "One Belt and One Road Initiative," He Should "Reconsider His Philosophy" and "Add The Teaching of Lao-Tse and Confucius" to "Balance Out Whatever His True Intentions are for China and Central Asia, and West and South Asia!"
And, "Just as North Korea's Threats of Violence and Military Aggression Will Not Succeed," This also "Applies to China!"
And, "India Must Never Forget The Non-Violent Soul Force of The Mahatma!"
However, "There has To Be a Sincere Desire to Change One's Global and Domestic Perspectives," and "Let Go of The Past Discrimination's of Negativity" and "Imperialistic Intentions," and "Embrace The Positive Aspects and Principles of A Scientific, Technological, Philosophical, Empirical, Cultural, Spiritual, Political, and Economical Age of The Twenty-First Century!"
And, "Embrace An Age Where Military/Defense Budget Proposals are Equal to The Budget Proposals of A Peacetime Economy," and "An Age of Peace, Harmony, Equality, and Equanimity For One and All!"
And, This Should Be "The Global Equation of A New Emancipation Declaration" of "We The People," Sovereign Citizens of The Earth!
And, "Yes," of course, "We Can Do It!" "We Can Be," Each and Everyone of Us, "Interdependent Beings of An Earthrise Movement of Peace!"
And, "We Can," One and All, "Share The Fruits and Limitless Resources of This Planet Earth" "Without Destroying its Jungles, Forests, Sea's, Life Forms, and The Pollution of The Air" that "We Breathe and Sustains Our Lives!"
And, "We Can All Be," a part of "A Prosperous, Humanistic, and Caring, Free Enterprise of Global Finance," that "Provides For All The People, without Taxation Of The People!"
With "A Global Enterprise of Financial Reforms" that "Provides For The Social Security, Health Care, and Welfare Of All The People, without "Working Them to Death!"
"A Global Enterprise of Financial Reforms" that "Implements A Twenty-First Century Business Model," that "Provides For The Safety, and Life Insurance Of All The People!"
Yes, "We Can Shake and Re-Make The World," and, "Thanks to The Illuminating Example and Sacrifice," of "Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Socrates, Charlemagne, Clara Barton, Jesus of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, Machiventa Melchizedek, St. Francis Of Assisi, Moses, Mary, Confucius, Rumi, Lao-Tse, Rabindranath Tagore, Zoroaster, Muhammad, and Siddhartha Gautama," We have Been Shown that "We Can Surmount the Impediments" and "Walls of Indifference, Apathy, Divisiveness" that are "Disrespectful and Irreverent to Our Global and Personal Cultures," and "Spiritual Way of Life!"
And, "Thanks to Their Illuminating Example and Sacrifice," "We Do Not have to Resign Ourselves," and or "Our Families," to "A Future of Living in A Conditioned Reality" with "No Hope For Redevelopment, or Evolvement to A Higher Purpose or Meaningful Existence of Significant Importance On Earth!" For, "This is The Way To Peace" and "An Age of Peace On Earth!"
Voices of Reason and Peacemakers of The 20th and 21st Centuries, "Lets Add A New Mantra, A New Anthem," and "A New Chorus to Our Cause of Peace On Earth!"
And, "Lets Enjoy the Sharing of It,"and Sing It Out Loud 'n Clear, like Sam Cooke Sang "Shake," and, As The Isley Brothers and The Beatles Sang, "Shake it Up Baby!"
Or, Like Big Joe Turner and Bill Haley and The Rockets Sang, "Shake Rattle 'N Roll!"
But, Most of All, "Lets Remember What The Mahatma" said, "You Can Shake The World!"
And, "Lets Do It, Non-Violently," through "The Internet and The Global Cross-Media Universe!"
And, "Lets Do It, through Non-Violent Demonstrations" and "Sit ins!"
And, "Lets Do It via Word of Mouth!"
And, " Lets Call Out for The Leaders of The Worlds Nations to Declare A Global Truce," and "Engage in Serious and Mindful Peace Dialogues" that are "Designed to End War, and Nuclear Proliferation!" And, "Enter into A New Age of Opportunity and Social Security," and of "A Global Peace Time Economy!"
For, This is The Way To Peace, and An Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient Peaceful and Culturally Evolved Millennium!
And, Let's "Give Peace a Chance," as John and Yoko, and A Few Good Friends, Sang Many Years Ago! And, "Lets Shake Up The World!"
-Extra Noteworthy News- "The New Report on The U.S. Economy, for the Month of July, 2017, is Impressive," and "The United States Recovery Appears to Be Continuing to Improve!"
"The Growth has Been Gradual," However, "How Can You Argue with Unemployment Figures at 4.3%" or the "Two Hundred and Nine Thousand Jobs Added by U.S. Employers," and a "New Record for The Stock Market," with the "DOW Jones Industrial Average Surpassing Twenty-Two Thousand!"
President Trump, "Irregardless of Not Passing any Significant Legislature," has "Taken Credit for this Improvement in the Economy!" However, "Whatever De-regulations, The President has Instigated," He still has Not Passed Any Significant Legislation to Contribute to This Overall Economic Growth," and "The U.S. Economy is Still Hovering around 2%," although, "Indications are," that "Unless, Political Investigations in The Russian Probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller" and the "New Grand Jury Impaneled to Investigate Russian Interference in the 2016 U.S. Elections" and "The Trump Campaign," and "Some of His Associates," Explodes and Serious Charges are Made," The U.S. Economy "Will Continue to See New Improvements!"
However, "Whatever Political Ramifications May Result This Year," We still haven't Seen,
(1) A New Infrastructure Bill Passed, and (2) Tent Cities in The U.S. have Not Decreased, and (3) The Homeless have Not Decreased, and (4) Approximately Forty-Three Million Americans still Live in Poverty, (Measured by the Federal Governments Poverty Threshold) and (5) 14.8 Per Cent of Women are Living in Poverty Overall, (24.1% amongst African Americans, 21.4% amongst Hispanics, and 9.1% amongst Caucasians), and (6) Needless to Say, There are Millions of Children Living in Poverty, and (7) Middle Class Families are still having to Endure Separations in order to Find New Employment Opportunities, or For Their Children to have a Good Education!
"It is Difficult to Imagine," that "These Figures are Real!" However, "No Matter What City" You May Live in, "You Can See that Clear and Disturbing Evidence of Poverty," and of "The Plight that Homeless and Transient Individuals and Families are Experiencing!"
The State of Politics in The U.S. has Been "As Divisive as It has Been in Decades," and "The Hubris and Chaos that We have Seen," has "Taken a Quantum Leap to a New Level of Embarrassment, Dissatisfaction, and Distrust, that is Unimaginable," But, of Course, If, "President Trump Would Like to Take Credit for The New Economic Improvement in The U.S." then, "He has to also Take Credit for the Poverty that Still Exists in The United States," and "The Divisiveness and Frustration that His Administration and The Republican Party have Caused," as Well!
-Extra Noteworthy News- At the Request of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, "Chief Justice Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District of Columbia Impaneled a Grand Jury to Investigate Russia's Interference in The 2016 U.S. Elections," and "Whether or Not The 2016 Trump Campaign," or "Associates," "Colluded in Any Way with Russian Officials!"
"This Important Step Guarantees" that "There Will Be a Longer Search For The Truth," However, "This Search Will Be a Thorough," and Hopefully, "a Conclusive One!"
At Last Count, Special Counsel Mueller has "Sixteen Attorney's to Work with Him" on "This Extremely Purposeful Search For The Truth," that "Can only Empower Our Democracy and Republic," and "Demonstrate the Meaningfulness of A Government Of The People, By The People and For The People," and "The Sanctity of the Laws of The U.S. Constitution!"
And, "Just as Importantly," Stressing that The United States of America "Will Not Allow Any Tampering or Interference" with "It's Electoral Process!"
And, On the Other Side of The Earth, In the The Nation of Confucius and Lao-Tse, on Thursday, The Twenty-Seventh of July, 2017, "A Chinese Court Sentenced Lu Yuyu to Four Years in Prison" for "Picking Quarrels," and "Provoking Trouble!"
Lu Yuyu, "An Activist," with the Assistance of His Friend, had "Collected and Documented Information Dealing with Worker Strikes and Social Protests in China," and "Published This Gathering of Information in His Website," along with "Photos and Videos of Their Findings!"
Mr. Lu, "Began The Process of Gathering Information of Social Unrest, Protests, and Dissatisfaction amongst Certain Segments of The Chinese People in 2012!"
And, The Question of "Where is Liu Xia," The Widow of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Liu Xiaobo, "Remains Unknown!"
And, "With Her Absence," "China's Sense of Justice of Remains Questionable!"
Her Husband Liu Xiaobo Died in Prison, Serving An Eleven Year Sentence for "Inciting Subversion to State Power," and "Received His Nobel Peace Prize in Absentia," in 2010!
"He Died in Prison of Liver Cancer," Because, "He was Denied Proper Medical Care!"
Liu Xiaobo, a Principal Author in Co-Writing the Manifesto "Charter 08," a "Pro-Democracy Manifesto," was Published on The Tenth of December, 2008!
"Charter 08" was "Originally Signed by Three Hundred and Fifty Human Rights Advocates and Chinese Intellectuals," on "The Sixtieth Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!"
"It's a Pity" that "The Nation of Confucius and Lao-Tse" has to "Resort to Authoritarian Methods to Govern The Chinese People!" This is Definitely "Not The Way" that "Lao-Tse Shared" with Us, "Nor," Is It "The Golden Rule that Confucius Shared" with Us!"
And, It's is a Shame" that "Any Nation or Leader Feels the Need to Impose Authoritarian, Dictatorial, Oppressive and Overbearing Rule" to "Govern Its People!"
"This is Twenty-First Century," and "We are "Not Supposed to Be Living in An Age of Barbarism and Totalitarian Rule!" "Justice Must Prevail For One and All!"
