People of the world are traumatised by a tsunami of pain and suffering.   As world leaders you know this to be true.  People of the world are afraid and many depressed.  They need hope.  They need to believe in themselves and others.  They need a ‘light of peace’.  People need to see there are people of love and courage who take risks for ‘humanity’ and follow their conscience to do the right thing. Please, Mr. Presidents, be such a light in a dark…

17th August, 2021 Press release ‘The Afghan War – 200l-2021 ---------------------------------------------- Nothing can justify the illegal war carried out for the past twenty years, upon the people of Afghanistan by US/NATO forces.   During a Peace visit with an International Peace Delegation, in 2012, we witnessed in Kabul, the suffering of the Afghan people, at the hands of the Foreign occupation forces, by US drones etc., We also met people who had lost family, homes, and livelihoods,  at the hands of the Taliban.

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE, Nomination of Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize., Press, Press Release
Dear Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, I hope this finds you well. I am herein nominating these three individuals, as a group, for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. All three have been individually nominated in previous years for the Peace Prize, but none received it to date.My reasons for nominating them together are simple.

Today around the world, when we listen or read about violence, militarism, poverty, war, pandemics, climate change, and particularly…
