2. Thanks again Dennis and Walter Cronkite, the man who knows how to do real investigative news that

rocks the world and makes change occur!

This is not hard to imagine, and not hard to undertake. We
just need to align and create these currents in ourselves and
pass them along in all that we do.

Granted we have been under the programming of a bunch of
criminals running our media propaganda, so we have been
generating the opposite, so we have to be mindful about how we
are generating our energy.

So be peaceful in your inner life, public life and your
intentions and we can get this started. It will be in the
noosphere.

3. Walter Cronkite endorsing Kucinich's

ideas of a Dept. of Peace. Can't think of a better endorsement from a more credible human being. Two men who can think, way ahead of their time in this society where to appear to be tough you have to support violence. How weak is that?

Kucinich studied the results of the most bloody century in history, over 100 million dead, mostly civilians. Those hard to even imagine numbers, raise barely an eyebrow in this country.

I give DK credit for not giving up as the job of educating a society raised on violence, on their right to invade and kill innocents in other countries, is monumental and sometimes I think, maybe even impossible.

R.I.P. Walter Cronkite. Excellent interview

4. The U.S. isn't evolved enough for...

...Dennis Kucinich. To my dismay, he is even ridiculed on DU.

5. One of the greatest perversions of language...

is the renaming of the Department of War into the Department of Defense. In this age the
concept of pre-emptive war as defense must not be allowed to stand. The culture of war is so pervasive
that while the war-like nature of America is broadly denied, a large segment of the population will find cause to snicker at the proposal for a Department of Peace. It is by these snickers their true sentiments are revealed: It is silly to speak of the end the activity which is the basis of our economy.

The American people may not be pro-war but suffer under the undemocratic
issuers of our currency who command the economy and direct the labor of
the many in the direction of the criminal interests of the few. This
power must not remain in the hands of those unaccountable to the
democracy.

The creep toward general insanity is so apparent when the attitude of a
person of a saner age such as Walter Cronkite is contrasted with the
public figures who dominate our media today.
