It’s time to stop the war on whistle-blowers. May we all have the same courage to tell the truth, especially when we witness crimes against humanity.
At the end of his talk, someone from the audience asked the Dalai Lama, “Why didn’t you fight back against the Chinese?” The Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet just a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile, “Well, war is obsolete, you know ” Then, after a few moments, his face grave, he said, “Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back…but the heart, the heart would never understand. Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would be inside you.”
“I never tire of speaking about the very deep distress in my visits to the Holy Land; they remind me so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa. I have seen the humiliation of the Palestinians at checkpoints and roadblocks, suffering like we did when young white police officers prevented us from moving about. My heart aches. Why are our memories so short? Have our Jewish sisters and brothers forgotten their own previous humiliation? Have they forgotten the collective punishment, the home demolitions, in their own history so soon?” ~Desmond Tutu
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
~Benjamin Franklin
“Students who acquire large debts putting themselves through school are unlikely to think about changing society. When you trap people in a system of debt, they can’t afford the time to think. Tuition fee increases are a “disciplinary technique,” and by the time students graduate, they are not only loaded with debt, but have also internalized the disciplinarian culture. This makes them efficient components of the consumer economy.” ~Noam Chomsky
“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” ~Malcolm X
Turn it off and free your mind.
“If you don’t control your mind, someone else will.” ~John Allston
“In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than any other chemical.” ~Dean Burk, Ph.D., 34 years at the National Cancer Institute.
We urge you to do what you can to keep this toxic poison out of your bodies.
“The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” ~Wayne Dyer
Stay open.
“The first man who, having enclosed a piece of land, thought of saying “This is mine” and found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders; how much misery and horror the human race would have been spared if someone had pulled up the stakes and filled in the ditch and cried out to his fellow men: “Beware of listening to this imposter. You are lost if you forget that the fruits of the earth belong to everyone and that the earth itself belongs to no one!” ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Are you kidding me? It’s insane that Civil Rights are being denied people in this day and age. It’s embarrassing, and it’s heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I’m completely in support of gay marriage. In 10 years we’ll be ashamed that this was an issue.” ~Chris Evans
