The Role of the U.S. Military in #World #Politics
Undeniably, the U.S. #military liberated #Europe from #fascism. Only because of this could very bad #war criminals be punished.
However, today, in contrast, one must ask how many tyrants have been brought to power by the U.S. military or can hold on to power because of it.

#Peace through #music ~ Written more than 50 years ago, the Bob Dylan #classic "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is as relevant today as it was then. Change is inevitable. It's up to us to create change that #uplifts, change that #betters #ourselves and #humankind, and change that is for the #good and for the #love of #everyone. Let's stand strong, #united in one love, and be the #positive #change we want to see in the #world.

There’s a #rebel within you.
It’s the part of you that already knows how to break free of #fear and #unhappiness.
This rebel is the voice of your own awakened mind.
It’s your rebel buddha—the sharp, clear intelligence that resists the status quo.
It wakes you up from the sleepy acceptance of your day-to-day reality
and shows you the power of your enlightened nature. It’s the vibrant,
insightful energy that compels you to seek the truth.
Dzogchen Ponlop guides you through the inner revolution that comes from unleashing your rebel buddha.
He explains how, by training your mind and understanding your true nature,
you can free yourself from needless suffering.
He presents a thorough introduction to the essence of the Buddha’s teachings
and argues that, if we are to bring these teachings fully into our personal experience,
we must go beyond the cultural trappings of traditional Asian Buddhism.
“We all want to find some meaningful truth about who we are.” he says, “but we can only find it guided by our own wisdom—by our own rebel buddha within.”

Restorative Justice
Restorative justice repairs the harm caused by crime. When victims, offenders and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results can be transformational.Source: http://restorativejustice.org/Restorative justice is an approach to justice in which the response to a crime is to organize a meeting between the victim and the offender, sometimes with representatives of the wider community. The goal is for them to share their experience of what happened, to discuss who was harmed by the crime and how, and to create a consensus for what the offender can do to repair the harm from the offense. This may include a payment of money given from the offender to the victim, apologies and other amends, and other actions to compensate those affected and to prevent the offender from causing future harm.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restorative_justice
A restorative justice program aims to get offenders to take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they have caused, to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves and to discourage them from causing further harm. For victims, its goal is to give them an active role in the process and to reduce feelings of anxiety and powerlessness. Restorative justice is founded on an alternative theory to the traditional methods of justice, which often focus on retribution. However, restorative justice programs can complement traditional methods.
Academic assessment of restorative justice is positive. Most studies suggest it makes offenders less likely to reoffend. A 2007 study also found that it had the highest rate of victim satisfaction and offender accountability of any method of justice. Its use has seen worldwide growth since the 1990s. Restorative justice inspired and is part of the wider study of restorative practices.

Nachdem mehrere Tanker in der Region des Persischen Golfs durch iranische Einheiten gekapert wurden, will Großbritannien reagieren – mit einer Militäreskorte, zusammengestellt von einer internationalen Koalition. Zunächst war unklar, ob sich die Bundesregierung an dem Einsatz beteiligen wird. Doch jetzt scheint die Entscheidung gefallen zu sein.www.focus.de
One World One Voice (1990)
It is the ultimate global mix, the brainchild of Kevin Godley. Filmed and recorded on the road, it is a “chain tape”, each of the musicians adding a new theme to the mix as Kevin’s team toured the world. All profits will go to charities fighting environ - mental destruction and rising global poverty.
