After a small technical hiccup that delayed its launch, the YouTube Channel of The Peace Talks Project is finally coming online next week. Because the cause of peace needs every voice behind it. Here is a quote from the historical speech of Victor Hugo that will be featured in the first video.

What is happening in the USA made me think of those powerful words by G'Kar in Babylon 5 S2E20 'The long twilight struggle'. The first part of this clip shows two of the results of war: surrender and resistance. The second part shows the path to peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJmu...

Full dichotomy indeed. Not claiming doctrine either, but the second video of my upcoming YouTube channel (Channel starting next week) features a similar argument but about war by Amasa Walker Esq. in 1843: "If all who profess Christianity were really Christians, war would cease."

Destroying is easy. 1 person can do huge damage. Its power is an illusion. It isolates you, doesn't feed your soul and you always need more. It's the Dark Side of the Force. True power comes for working together. It's harder. It needs constant work, but its rewards are limitless and shared by all.

Nothing is simpler than truth. If an action is divisive, it shouldn't be followed, no matter how convinced or passionate one is about it. If it leads to more unity, it should be, even if it comes at a cost. Sounds simplistic, naive even, but that simple binary compass is the key to a better world.

Peace will never be built by people throwing dirt at each other across a great divide, each enclosed in their own bubble. Hard as it may be, and as justified as anger and resistance to tyranny are, and they are, it is vital that we keep the bridges of communication open, or all hope is lost.

Violence should only ever be used to defend yourself and your loved ones, only as little as is needed and only for as long as is needed but, as much as I am against violence, this is where it has its place. The same goes with anger and here, Mandy Patinkin has every right to be fuming.

Today, on Bastille Day, I want to honour the courage of the many American citizens who stand firm every day in the face of the wave of oppression from an extremely weak leader. Stand strong! I offer you these similar quotes from two famous men, one French and the other American, a fitting pairing.

We must never lose hope that world peace is achievable and we must always strive to make it happen. I know that, with everything happening in the world today, we can be tempted to think that such a peace is a pipe dream. That feeling is perfectly normal but it should not be final.

Positivity and support are keys in keeping us going, that's for sure, and I hope people hear your appeal to hold back defeatist comments. Still, as long as you get both and not just the latter, you may have to take it in your stride. At least, you are engaging and getting feedback. That's good.

Peace can only come from a balanced mind, not an erratic one. I know there is much to be angry at it the world, and it definitely needs dealing with, but in between two bouts of indignation, we need to let the light in or we'll drive ourselves mad and our efforts will be for nothing.

The world is a complex ecosystem where everything is interconnected and the path to peace follows many roads. Some of these are for entire nations to walk, some are for individuals, and so, peace between nations is dependent on men and women standing together as equals, each made stronger for it.

Some people wash their hands of politics, thinking all candidates are ususally as bad as each other and voting doesn't make any difference. While it may sometimes be true, this is not one of those times. If you know such a person, now is the time to slowly but surely change their mind.

As a Frenchman, and like General Lafayette before me as he fought for American independence with George Washington, and as Gustave Eiffel, of the Eiffel Tower, and Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who both built the Statue of Liberty, I stand with my American brothers and sisters against Trump's tyranny

This is what Peace looks like. Two countries at war for most of their history, now true friends. It takes vision and maturity to outgrow hatred and the prejudices of the past. Those who subdue their own people or think they need a gun to create peace have yet to learn this lesson.

Peace in the world starts with peace within us. Sometimes, it comes from expecting accountability and seeking justice. Like most things, this has an outward and inward aspect. Outwardly, it's only fair that it happens. Inwardly, well, in this case, it's not for me to say. Please, support Kaitlin.

Due to technical issues (sound quality), I have taken down my first YouTube video of The PEACE TALKS Project. I will re-record it next week once I have my new mike. Call me perfectionist, but I don't want viewers to be scared off the channel and never come back just because of bad sound.

The bad apples of the human race always like to pretend that they are justified in their actions and it's always somebody else's fault. Responsibility, accountability, empathy, compassion, altruism are not in their dictionary. 'Me', 'myself' and 'I' are actually the only three words in there.

Work is in progress for the upcoming release of the first installment in 'the Peace Talks project' series: The 1849 opening address by Victor Hugo to the 2nd International Peace Congress held in Paris. A historical speech that should never be forgotten! COMING SOON!

The Peace Talks project aims to promote World Peace by recording the various addresses and speeches delivered at the many International Peace Congresses and Conferences of the 1800s and early 1900s. These words, never heard by anyone alive today, may still inspire us to build a better world.
