It doesn’t matter the amount or prevalence of violence employed or practiced anywhere anytime. It was from within a violent environment, which oppressed him both in South Africa and in India, that the Mahatma, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, gave birth to his philosophy of nonviolence.

Os ingleses do século XIX classificaram os povos e raças em Civilizados, Bárbaros e Selvagens, com base nas respectivas “evoluções”. Eles baseavam-se primariamente em três factores: a Teoria da Evolução, de Charles Darwin; a Revolução Industrial, nas origens do capitalismo industrial; e a Reforma da Igreja Católica, o cisma de onde surgiu o Protestantismo. Falsas premisas que levaram a falsas conclusões.

After spending a year of military service guarding the Brazilian President in Brasilia, he was arrested and tortured by agents of the 1964 coup d’état regime who suspected him of being a Communist based on a membership card to the Brazil-Russia Cultural Union.

Interestingly, most news sources in the U.S. and Europe continue to attribute Russia’s military difficulties in Ukraine to their own incompetence or Ukrainian heroism, but seldom to the $3.2 billion worth of high-tech weapons that the U.S. has shipped to Kyiv since 2014. Joe Biden, of course, is an architect of this de facto Western alliance with Ukraine. What his end game is nobody can say.

Johan Galtung, a Pioneer: Conceptualizing Peace Journalism
Antonio C. S. Rosa, M.A. | Editor - TRANSCEND Media Service, 22 Oct 2018
Before the 19th century, we had “disease journalists” who reported in detail how epidemics were spreading and how people suffered. Today we have “health journalists” who write about current research on new cures and therapies, and inform about healthy lifestyles promoting health as a value. Similarly, the time has come for “peace journalists” to write not only about war, but also about its causes, prevention, and ways to restore peace by nonviolent means and promoting peace as a value. They need not invent themselves solutions to conflicts–in the same way that health journalists need not invent cures for diseases themselves; they ask specialists.

Kinsey played a major role. Very solid, very empirical, vast, comprehensive, fought by some churches and no doubt by some patriarchs. But science prevailed… Unfortunately sex is generally confused with love both in literature and in reality. Sex is ephemeral pleasure of the genitalia—any genitalia. Love is emotion, energy, synergy between two human beings. Love and sex complement but do not replace each other, being of utterly different natures.

Quando conheci o autor de O Tao da Física, Fritjof Capra, na Universidade do Havaí nos anos 80, ele me disse, sorrindo: “Quando nós, os físicos, chegarmos ao cume da montanha, seremos recebidos por místicos e espiritualistas que dirão: ‘porque demoraram tanto‘”? Estudos de Paz e de Conflito, entre outros fatores civilizadores para os seres humanos, representam a receita, o mapa para o cume da montanha. Tudo tem início e cresce dentro do indivíduo, manifestando-se depois na sociedade. Ou não.

Antonio C. S. Rosa, editor – TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 May 2013
Since the cause of this crisis is the widespread violence in Syria, we call for an immediate end of all aid – lethal and nonlethal – to all combatants, an immediate and mutual ceasefire, and immediate negotiations among all the parties without preconditions. Lebanese citizens, Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon, Lebanese charitable institutions and other Lebanese civil society institutions deserve much credit for providing support that the international society has not done. However, a refugee influx of this magnitude is more than any society the size of Lebanon can accommodate without aid from the UN.

Erika Degortes – TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 May 2013
Usually our general meeting occurs every two years. However, this year marks the twentieth anniversary of TRANSCEND International and we decided to get together for our TRANSCEND General Assembly one year earlier. The Venue that will host us will be the Galtung-Institut for Peace Theory and Peace Practice in Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany, 5 minutes by train from Basel-Switzerland.

Antonio C. S. Rosa, editor – TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 May 2013
Mussalaha Peace Mission to Syria – May 1- 11, 2013. We consider it beyond debate that the Syrian people have the right to determine their own government and their own future. Foreign interference is currently preventing the Syrian people from exercising their right to self-determination. We are concerned that such pernicious intervention is tearing apart the fabric of the country itself, with long-term consequences that can only be imagined. The cautionary example of Iraq serves to remind us of the dire consequences of such international folly.

Antonio C. S. Rosa | Editor – TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 May 2013
I participated, May 1-11, 2013 in the Mussalaha International Peace Delegation to Lebanon-Syria alongside fellow TRANSCEND member Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire, from Ireland, and 15 others from eight countries. Like Paul meeting the angel Ananias on his way to Damascus experienced a change of heart and became St Paul, so have I met many angels on my own Road to Damascus and, although not gone into sainthood, I have reinterpreted and upgraded my own vision of reality—which I now share with you.

François Houtart – Forum Mundial de Alternativas, 1 Apr 2013
La reconstrucción del equilibrio del metabolismo entre la naturaleza y los seres humanos por un cambio de paradigma y las transiciones El problema de la ruptura del metabolismo socio-ambiental es el resultado de una lógica más amplia que abarca el modo de acumulación y el predominio del valor de cambio, la organización colectiva al servicio de la reproducción del capital y la visión del mundo orientada por un progreso lineal en un planeta inagotable al servicio de una minoría.

Antonio C. S. Rosa | Editor - TRANSCEND Media Service, 18 Mar 2013
We are meant by nature, the universe, life itself (let’s leave the gods out of this) to be superior beings, elevated in virtue, goodness, righteousness, integrity, ethics, honesty, morality, uprightness, evolved consciousness, and not merely to get richer, smarter, sexier, more cunning, and more knowledgeable to dominate everything and everybody we contemplate-if possible by force. This is the real danger, the aspect that could prompt these smarter, more aggressive (meaning less civilized) people in power to explode the planet through a nuclear war, thus creating a second asteroid belt.

Jean-Bertrand Aristide – Hayti.net, 7 Feb 2011
In support of former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide (currently in exile in South Africa), hundreds of signatories to a petition have demanded that the United States, the United Nations and the Haitian government stop blocking the leader from returning to the land of his birth.

Naomi Klein, 16 Feb 2009
Observando a multidão na Islândia a bater frigideiras e panelas até o governo caír fez-me recordar um refrão popular em círculos anticapitalistas, em 2002: “Vocês são a Enron, nós somos a Argentina!” A mensagem era bastante simples. Vocês – políticos e presidentes-executivos em alguma cúpula comercial – são como os fraudulentos e temerários executivos da […]
