Peace Pooping? Who would think that birds could unite for Peace? Yes, you read that right, those cute little white Peace Doves you see everywhere, well they have united in a common cause, on International Peace day September 21st each year they will "poop" on peace marchers, mostly on bystanders not joining in though. Meeting with the World Dove leaders, we were asked repeatedly, "Why can't you humans clean the airspace, and water, and provide bird houses?".

This serious request by the Pace Doves, rang out loud and clear, after all millions of Doves are sick from polluted air and water, housing, well it seems we humans forgot them entirely, shame on you modern architects, or anti bird lovers as they say in bird unity communities.

Peace Doves United: World wide "Pooping" action to take place

But one thing must be said about these Doves, they are unified, not unlike their Human counterparts and they plan to make their peace demands known. Pooping for Peace, last year, as you can see from the picture below was scattered in its effect, this year because of a greater need than ever, the Doves are going all out, everywhere, massive pooping.

One dove asking to remain anonymous said: "I'm going to eat late the day before and a lot, I really want my vote for peace to count".

So remember, if you get "Peace Pooped", love bombed by the Doves, its their little way of saying, clean up the mess you make and instead Make Peace.

The facts in this article are unconfirmed, second source as the reporter meetings were held in clandestine trees and rooftops throughout the world. Just us presenting some humor, being silly, but getting you the reader to think about making peace and what it takes.

Geeks make Peace!

For Immediate Release:

@ r.defresst

Code for peace is calling all Geeks, world wide! Every non violent protest, starts with organizing, communication, and using technology which is often hacked, or difficulty to use. So code for peace, is setting up software assistance, help for all peaceful organizations, in relief work, or in protest.
Think of organizing thousand during a relief efforts, monitoring all their loses, family ties, and much more in their lives, somewhere where resources like this do not exist? That is what can take place with easy to use software, millions helped each and everyday in some way, and if the call comes for something new, a new problem, then solutions through Codfe for peace will readily be made available. Then there is the "Bad guys", and the need for monitoring corruption, war crimes, human rights violations and getting the word out to the world of the horrors and crimes. So there is so much to do and many are needed.

Artistas for peace: Why not?

MANILA, Philippines - Everyone is getting involved.

Thanks to the power of social media — the power to malign, glorify and, recently, even rescue flood-stranded folks — everyone seems to be compelled to take on, and be passionately involved in supporting a good cause.

And who else are best to lead various advocacies but celebrities? With millions of followers online (and millions more offline) they are the best spokespersons in spreading awareness on issues in need of attention or support.

One good cause in need of attention and awareness is the country’s peace process.

Recently, more than 20 popular personalities, coming from both entertainment and sports sectors, have expressed their commitment to take on peace advocacy, and to call on the public to take on the same advocacy as well.

For them, the time for peace is now.

Unity in diversity

“They come from diverse industries and backgrounds. The Peace Ambassadors will unite for one meaningful cause: peace,” said Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Teresita Quintos Deles, referring to the celebrities who will be named National Peace Ambassadors during the launch of the “I am for Peace” campaign in Malacañan Palace this Friday, September 14.

Joining them in saying “I am for Peace” will be no less than President Benigno Aquino III who will lead the campaign launch.

The “I am for Peace” campaign is one of the major activities the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) has lined up in this year’s celebration of the peace month themed “Ako. Ikaw. Tayo. Magkakaiba, Nagkakaisa sa Kapayapaan.”

Headlining the list of the chosen National Peace Ambassadors who will take their pledge on peace in the Malacañan Palace are Black Eyed Peas member apl.de.ap, actress Anne Curtis and actor Gerald Anderson.

Other Peace Ambassadors include local celebrities Megan Young and Mikael Daez; social media icon Ramon Bautista; composers Noel Cabangon and Ebe Dancel; Moro artist Datu Khomeini Bansuan; singers Christian Bautista, Karylle, Sam Concepcion and Gloc-9; fashion designers Arnold Galang and the Fashion Design Council of the Philippines led by JC Buendia; sportsman and TV host Rovilson Fernandez; and members of the national football team, the Philippine Azkals.

For OPAPP, getting these big names with no fee at all didn’t come hard: it was the celebrities themselves who expressed their interest in supporting the government’s peace process.

"This actually started with one of our peace ambassadors who has a friend working in OPAPP. She got interested in what we're doing in the peace process and wanted to know what she could do to help,” said OPAPP spokesperson Polly Michelle Cunanan.

“Then it snowballed. Everyone's excited and wanted to know how they can also do their share to push the peace process forward.”

Cunanan added that they appreciate the support that the peace ambassadors are giving to the peace process. “We believe that everyone should put a stake on peace. That is why our message is 'Ako. Ikaw. Tayo. Magkakaiba, Nagkakaisa Para sa Kapayapaan.' As Sec. Deles has always been saying, ‘It is not enough that you want peace, you have to seek it, you have to understand its process, you have to take part in it.’”

“Peace is what our country needs, what the world needs,” popular leading man Gerald Anderson said when asked why he would want to be a peace ambassador.

"To be a peace ambassador is something I would love to do. I want to be of help to more Filipinos in promoting freedom and unity, not violence.”

‘The time for peace is now’

More Filipinos are pledging their support for peace as the agreement between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front nears its signing, according to Deles.

“The government has been working hard; but peace building is not the work of government alone. We need more stakeholders who believe in the peace process. For a peace agreement to be truly successful, we’ll need the participation of the entire nation,” Deles said.

The “I am for Peace” campaign seeks to engage all sectors of society in sustaining support for the country’s peace process. It will also mobilize social engagements and information dissemination especially on the significant developments and milestones of the on-going Mindanao peace talks.

“Now, more than ever, we have the momentum and leadership needed to write the Philippine success story as a progressive and peaceful nation. The time for peace is now,” Deles said, calling on everyone to take part in sharing the message of peace in homes, in schools, in workplaces and in communities. - Rappler.com

Can U.S. ever make PEACE in Middle east?

Peacemaker news:
Sept. 12, 2012

The U.S. has lost tremendous ground because of its vast war efforts in the middle east. It is no longer able even after the democratic peace efforts in Egypt, Libya and the war in Syria, to find it's way to the peace table. Torn between its military and oil resource needs, it is unable to connect to events in all of these countries or take a strong enough stand on the side of the people versus the military and dictator governments.
Caught being a war monger, and supporter of dictatorships, the U.S. Voice gets lost in all these world changing events. Even discussions of U.S. style democracy replacing these dictators, has challenged them because of the U.S. desire for the weakening influence of pro Islamic groups in any government they support. For the middle east democracy without Islamism is impossible. Yet for the U.S.the choice in each country has become, U.S. controlled democracy protecting and fostering U.S. business deals, versus backlash back at them from the new democratic rulers, seeking to assert themselves..

Recent events follow this dilemma:

U.S. Ambassador to Libya Killed in Attack; Cairo Protestors Storm U.S. Embassy

Bert Atkinson Jr. September 12, 2012 9:58 am

First, Egyptian demonstrators stormed Cairo’s U.S. Embassy yesterday, pulling down the American flag in protest of a film that is insulting to the prophet Mohammad. According to USA Today, protestors tried to replace the American flag with a black flag saying, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger.”
Ahram Online, Egypt’s largest news organization, says the “controversial film is reportedly being produced by US-based Coptic-Christian Egyptians” with support from the Terry Jones Church in the U.S. (Terry Jones is the controversial evangelical pastor who threated to burn a Quran in public.)
After the demonstration, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo offered a statement/pseudo-apology saying they “condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.”

Then, late last night, the United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed in a rocket attack in the city of Benghazi. The attacks, which President Obama condemned as “outrageous,” also took the lives of three other men, and the consulate was “burned and ransacked.”
According to CNN:

An “angry crowd” marched on the consulate on Tuesday, furious about an online film considered offensive to Islam, Libya’s Deputy Interior Minister Wanis al-Sharif said Wednesday. The U.S. mission in Egypt was also attacked Tuesday in response to the film.
Libya’s Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib apologized “to the American people and the government, and also to the rest of the world” for the “cowardly criminal act.”

To add to all of this, President Obama will not be meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his trip to the U.S., marking the first time this has happened since Obama took office. According to Bloomberg.com, an Israeli official said Israel approached the White House two weeks ago to schedule a visit, but the White House said the president’s schedule “wouldn’t permit a meeting.”
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Veitor denied that speculation, saying, “They’re simply not in the city at the same time.” President Obama did spend an hour on the phone with Netanyahu last night, and the Israeli Prime Minister will meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his visit.
Fueling conservative speculation is the fact that President Obama can squeeze an appearance on David Letterman’s Late Show into his schedule next week, but can’t find the time to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Mitt Romney was not very happy with the response shown by the U.S., saying, “I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”
This is nothing less than terrifying. Anti-American demonstrations in Libya and Cairo resulted in the deaths of four people including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, the U.S. embassy simply said they “condemn” efforts to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims, Obama can’t find time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, all while Netanyahu wonders what it will take for action to be taken against Iran. Let’s all hope we can find peace before a war erupts.

THE PEACE SYMBOL STORY

Thanks to one Gerald Holtom, designer and former World War II conscientious objector, who believed an image to go with the message was necessary, to give everything a bit of a kick. When designed those 50-years-ago, the peace symbol stood for “Ban the Bomb”, the symbol itself having originated as a graphic flag-slang deconstruction of N and D. Nuclear Disarmament. Nuclear Failure. Bombs are bad.

From then until now, the Peace Symbol has always stood beside anyone with a wish for change, a wish for something better. A forever faithful friend of progress, of better times. And though the 60’s have come and gone, fashions have changed, the dynamics of society have changed. The concept the logo stands universally for – promotion of peace and love – will never be dated, never be tacky, and will always be relevant.
