 ..WE NOW HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MEN IN POWER WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE OR THE TRUTH OF THEIR OWN STATEMENTS HAVE SET OUT TO SINK THE BOAT OF HISTORY. ARTICLES IN THIS ISSUE SEEK TO REVEAL THE TRUTH THAT HIDES BEHIND THE DEALS, THE MANIPULATION OF LAW, MILITARY EXPANSION AND THE EVILS OF FINANCIAL INEQUALITY THAT THESE MEN FOSTER. THIS EDITION IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF THESE MENS' PLANS ; MEN WHO HAVE DISTORTED FREEDOM AND SECURITY ; BROKEN LAW, RUINED THE HEALTH AND UNDERMINED THOUSANDS MORE LIVES IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF THE NEW MILLENIUM - A MARKING POINT IN OUR HISTORY WHICH THE NAIVE, INDIFFERENT, FOOLISH AND CONFUSED HUMAN RACE HAD BELIEVED WOULD GIVE HUMANITY A NEW START WITHIN THE SPHERES OF KNOWLEDGE GAINED AND WAR, MURDER, TORTURE AND TYRANNY HELD IN ABEYANCE BY THE INTERNATIONAL LAW COURTS, THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. DURING THIS TIME WE HAVE SEEN THOSE WHO DO NOT FEAR, WHO KNOW RAGE AT INJUSTICE, whose professions demand of them the responsibility to MOVE FORWARD AND GIVE US A NOBLE EXAMPLE OF THEIR COURAGE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO SELECT BY NAME THOSE WHO, LOOSING THEIR LIVES, SEEKING TO PREVENT INJUSTICE AND MURDER, GAVE US HOPE IN THE REGENERATION OF HUMAN SOCIETIES ? So many in all walks of life - WE SHOULD NOT LET THESE SOULS BE CARRIED AWAY FROM US LIKE A BREATH OF WIND ACROSS a RIPPLE OF WATER. photo KaTHArina Zyla |
