Free Viewing of 'FIERCE LIGHT '
From the Film Maker:The 2006 murder of friend and fellow media-activist
Brad Will in protest-torn Oaxaca, Mexico, is the impetus
for Ripper's journey, which takes him to the flash points
of spiritual activism around the world, including Montgomery,
Alabama; Robben Island, South Africa; Andrah, India;
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and South Central Los Angeles,
where a months-long protest against the razing of a vital
community garden provides a highly dramatic spine for the
wide-ranging film. En route, Ripper encounters a number
of eloquent icons, including American Civil Rights legend
Congressman John Lewis, actor turned activist Daryl Hannah,
Nobel prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pulitzer Prize
Winning Author Alice Walker, Buddhist peace activist monk
Thich Nhat Hahn, famed tree sitter Julia Butterfly Hill, and
dharma punk, Noah Levine. Ripper takes an insightful and
inspirational look at change motivated by love. Called "soul force"
by Gandhi and "love in action" by Martin Luther King, spiritual
activism's roots are examined and illustrated by interviews and
stories from around the globe.

LONDON - One in five people in Britain thinks that haggis, the traditional Scottish dish made from the lung, liver and heart of a sheep, is an animal that roams the Highlands, according to a survey on Friday.
Commissioned by the online takeaway food service Just-Eat.co.uk, the survey found that
18 percent of Britons believe that haggis is a hilltop-dwelling animal.
Another 15 percent said it is a Scottish musical instrument while 4 percent admitted to thinking it was a character from Harry Potter.
The survey questioned 1,623 people across Britain to see how well they were acquainted with traditional Scottish food.
Even 14 percent of the 781 Scottish people polled said they did not know what haggis was.

"There is a prophecy leading to 2012 thatsuggests when people sound together withtheir voice as a singing prayer for worldpeace and harmony, it can have a significanteffect in restoring peace on earth. The sonicmeditation of World Sound Healing Day is soimportant for the healing of our planet.World Sound Healing Day energizes the peaceand transformation that all people seek forplanet Earth. With our wisdom and intentionalsound, we can affect dire 2012 predictions ina helpful way - The Way of Compassion, Loveand Lasting Peace," says Healing Sounds pioneer Jonathan Goldman.
Goldman believes people making sound together can help create peace on the planet. On February 14th, thousands like-minded individuals will send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth - "World SoundHealing Day." For five minutes, meditators,peace activists, sound healers and manyothers throughout the planet will project theheart sound "AH" filled with the intention ofpeace and love!
"The "AH" is a universal, non-denominationalheart sound that when projected with focusedenergy is extremely powerful and effective,"Goldman says. He has found that creating aglobal sound such as "AH" will create atransformational wave of energy that willpositively affect the entire Earth.
An internationally acclaimed author(including HEALING SOUNDS , THE 7 SECRETSOF SOUND HEALING and the forthcoming THE DIVINE NAME: The Sound That Can Change The World), as well as anaward winning musician(including "Chakra Chants", "The DivineName", "Ultimate Om" and "2012: AscensionHarmonics" ) Goldman has found that soundcoupled with intention has the ability toheal and transform: He notes that "TheGlobal Consciousness Project at PrincetonUniversity has measured the effects of globalmeditations and found a correlation betweenpeaceful activities on the Earth and thesemeditations. We've added sound to this inorder to enhance the effects of globalmeditation." Here is a link to the outcome of last'syear World Sound Healing Day: www.healingsounds.com.Goldman <http://www.healingsounds.com.Goldman> adds: "The results are impressive.There is a reason most sacred prayers are chanted aloud.

Thousands of people, not only in the United States, but also in many countries in Europe, Asia as well as Australia, will be sounding with the intention of creating peace and harmony on Earth.

The futility of war, as explained by Phil Ochs

Sisters and Brothers,
Last night, like most of you, I watched as the president I'd worked hard to elect spoke out in West Point and loaded guns into the arms of future military recruits. This president who was honored with a Nobel Peace Prize, who'd served the people as a community organizer, who stood in union halls and told workers that they mattered, THAT president last night spoke words that could have come from Truman, Johnson, even Reagan (not Bush; this at least was eloquent) and drove us deep into war-mode.
Friends, we knew that he was going to focus on Afghanastan but that was before the numbers of the unemployed had climbed so high, when we thought we'd have universal healthcare and an Employee Free Choice Act. We thought he'd have the troops in Iraq home before this. Faced with the alternative of McCain-Palin, one can only imagine the state our nation would be in had that scenario played out....yet we cannot stand by as promises--not only campaign promises but the promises of a new day and outlook--are broken. There is NO military answer. As we have before in times of a liberal-leaning Democratic officials, we need to let President Obama know that his base is good and pissed off right now. As the quagmire-to-be thickens with crushing heartache, I am reminded of the lyrics of a Vietnam-era Phil Ochs song which spoke of the futility of war:
"One More Parade" by Phil Ochs
Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street
Rolling of the drums and the tramplin' of the feet
Generals salute and mothers wave and weep,
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
Price is paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Light the flame
One more parade
Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
Listen for the thunder of the marching boys
A few years ago their guns were only toys
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
Price is paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Light the flame
One more parade
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Trained to kill as they're trained to stand
10,000 ears need only one command
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
Price is paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Light the flame
One more parade
Cold hard stares on faces so proud,
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd
And the widows from the last war cry into their shroud
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid
Price is paid
Don't be ashamed
War is a game
World in flames
So start the parade
-------------The futility of war continues to haunt the decisions of our leaders, even those who should know better. An excellent piece on this was published in today's edition of 'the People's World', written by that paper's editorial board. It, along with Ochs' lyric, says more about this issue than I ever could:
