We really can do things in support of each other very, very quickly.

I believe passionately in the power of people.

Setting aside human rights and international law to have an agenda of war and killing and occupation to me is totally unacceptable.

To enable consensus politics to develop we need to empower people where they live. This means devolving financial resources and political power down to the community level. One of the greatest blocks to movement is fear. This fear can only be removed when people feel their voices are being heard by government and when they have a say in their own lives and communities.

We as a human family are on this train that is taking us into more and more war and more and more abuse of human rights where a lot of civilians are being killed and where human rights and international law are being set aside by America and NATO.

To me the Nobel Peace laureates should not be hosted by a State Department that is continuing with war, removing basic civil liberties and human rights and international law and then talking about peace to young people. That's a double standard.

We can rejoice and celebrate today because we are living in a miraculous time. Everything is changing and everything is possible.
