<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal" align="center"><b>Opening Remarks and Keynote Speaker</b></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">*<b>10:30 -11:30 AM</b>  Moderated by <strong>Paul Sladkus</strong>, with <strong>MyungHi S. Lee</strong>, this session explores “<strong>Health Equity and Human Rights in Ibogaine access for Americans”</strong>, focusing on the evolving <strong>public–private sector partnership</strong> model supporting Ibogaine treatment for <strong>veterans</strong> and <strong>Indigenous and Tribal communities</strong>. A central theme is <strong>Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)</strong> for Intellectual Property—an essential component in the future of Ibogaine and psychedelic-based therapeutics. The presentation highlights emerging <strong>global biodiversity initiatives</strong>, including the development of <strong>natural products extractive libraries</strong> that contribute to UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD)–aligned efforts in <strong>genomics</strong>, <strong>chemical data repositories</strong>, and <strong>carbon-sequestration-linked technologies</strong>. These initiatives support Indigenous-led entheogenic agricultural solutions and sustainable development protocols in the United States and across emerging market.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">A key focus is <strong>KRFI’s Ibogaine IP shareholding model</strong>, designed to create <strong>royalty-based botanical drug pathways</strong> for tropical nations participating in Ibogaine and psychedelic research. This <strong>ABS-IP framework</strong> advances a sustainable public–private coordinating mechanism for long-term benefit sharing, capacity building, and in-country development. <strong>Use Case: Central America. </strong>The session will highlight the example of <strong>Costa Rica</strong>, featuring collaboration between national partners and the <strong>KRIBB Extractive Library</strong>. This includes the development of <strong>ABS-IP platforms for genomics and chemical data silos</strong>, private-sector registration pathways, and participation in the <strong>Forever Forest Program</strong>, which aims to support tropical nations in sustainable biodiversity management and equitable access to the economic benefits of natural products.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">*<b>11:30 -12:30 AM  <strong> “Technology &amp; Innovation: AI, Social Responsibility &amp; the American Ibogaine Initiative”</strong></b> This session will connect <b>Andrew Romero</b> InferenceFrame’s AI infrastructure with the policy and clinical mission of the American Ibogaine Initiative, with MyungHi S. Lee and KRFI Questors. Key discussion areas include:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* AI-enhanced investment frameworks for Ibogaine deployment</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Public–private partnership models supporting mental health reform</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Responsible funding strategies for bipartisan state-level Ibogaine bill</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Ethical scaling, oversight, and corporate social responsibility</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Building national infrastructure for Ibogaine-based mental health interventions</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">Together, the speakers outline how AI, biotechnology, and responsible investment can accelerate safe, equitable, and evidence-based Ibogaine access for veterans, Indigenous communities, and Americans facing mental health and addiction crises. <strong>Andrew Romero</strong> leads the development of high-reliability AI at <strong>InferenceFrame</strong>, where he designs and deploys advanced <strong>structured reasoning systems</strong> that strengthen decision-making in high-stakes environments. His work centers on <strong>Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy)</strong> approaches that integrate mathematical and logical reasoning, enabling AI systems to perform with greater precision and significantly reduced data requirements. <b>InferenceFrame’s </b>technology has been used to generate actionable insights for <strong>companies, investment funds, and research organizations</strong>, supported by strategic institutional funding. The company has also established <strong>cost-sensitive licensing agreements</strong>, allowing scalable access to its reasoning systems. These AI platforms demonstrate strong performance across diverse domains, including:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Financial markets &amp; capital allocation</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Robotics &amp; autonomous system</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Mathematical and scientific discovery</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Risk assessment and high-stakes decision support</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">By <a title="Posts by Azza Karam" href="https://www.ipsnews.net/author/azza-karam/">Azza Karam</a></p>
</div>
<p><span class="meta_origin">NEW YORK, Jun 25 2024 (IPS) </span>&#8211; In Part 1, I outlined how our shared existence is challenged not only by simultaneous crisis, but also by the notions – and realities – of perceived ‘holy wars’. I point out that ‘holy wars’ are not only perceptions within, or of, monotheistic faith traditions, but actually enacted by members of diverse belief systems.<br />
<span id="more-185816"></span></p>
<p>I note how these ‘holy war’ dynamics are part of the vicious cycle of polarisation and sorrowful lack of social cohesion in most societies, while also coexisting with an increasing realisation amongst several decision-making entities (governmental, non-governmental and intergovernmental) of how important religions have been, and continue to be.</p>
<p>Religious institutions, religious leaders and religious (or faith based) organisations, are indeed the original social service providers, community mediators, social norm upholders and changemakers, and actually, historically, also the original human rights’ defenders.</p>
<p>I emphasize how the toxic mix with narrow political interests (might that be tautological?) means that in the minds of some who hold decision making positions, and/or have access to arms, and/or control laws and their implementation, and/or impact on beliefs, behaviours and attitudes through unparalleled pulpits (or all of the above), ‘holy war’, <em>is justified</em>.</p>
<p>In the age of ‘holy wars’, we are called upon to understand that part of our social disconnect resulting in the polarisation and significant weaking of our civil societies, may well be furthered by the manner in the current interest in and on religion.</p>
<p>Elsewhere I have argued that appreciating the ‘good’ powers of religious institutions and leaders, and the remarkable reach of religious social services and positive changemakers, is necessary, but by no means enough.</p>
<p>In fact, seeking to emphasize, support and identify the religious as the panacea, is harmful – in the same ways that marginalising the religious as evil, anti-human rights, unhealthy, misogynist, unnecessary, parochial, etc. has been, and remains, harmful, to the very same fabric of the civil societies we all uphold.</p>
<p>It is not all about good religion or bad religion. Rather, it could be about how to generate, nurture, protect, and yes, honour, civil societies.</p>
<p>Neither our governments (including even the elected ones), nor our religious institutions (including those which have survived centuries) nor our corporations (including those with the highest ranking of CSR and ESG) can, alone, change the dramatic junction of our collective human and planetary realities.</p>
<p>The late Wangari Mathai, a Kenyan woman environmental activist who won the Nobel Peace prize in 2004, demonstrated remarkable foresight when she highlighted the interconnectedness of our challenges, thus: “[I]n a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace.”</p>
<p>We need to begin to investigate what it will take to identify, understand, and activate, a poetics of solidarity. The Oxford Reference explains that “poetics are the general principles of poetry or of literature in general, or the theoretical study of these principles. As a body of theory, poetics is concerned with the distinctive features of poetry (or literature as a whole), with its languages, forms, genres, and modes of composition.”</p>
<p>If we use the term ‘poetics’ to refer to solidarity, not merely as an aspect of literature and/or theory, but as lived realities, what are the “languages, forms, genres and modes of existence” that this would entail? In the following paragraphs, I do not propose definitive answers. I merely share some thoughts to engender and provoke each of us, to reflect – and to engage.</p>
<p>A poetics of solidarity needs to have as a premise of its existence, an understanding that working ‘alone’ to solve the problems which impact all – whether as a lone multifaceted institution, the United Nations, corporation(s), religion/religious or multi-religious entity, secular NGO or umbrellas of NGOs, judicial actor(s) or bodies, cultural agents or entities, financial or military behemoths, etc., is clearly not enough.</p>
<p>We have landed here in these very challenging spaces and times, even as so many have laboured for so long in almost all domains of human existence, and even after many movements of solidarity succeeded in overcoming and righting and fighting the good fight. Yet, here we are.</p>
<p>A poetics of solidarity needs to hold accountable all our ways of thinking and doing, so far. I am not implying, by any means, that we have all failed. Rather, we all stand on the shoulders of many who have given their lives to make this a better world for all. We must acknowledge that loud and clear and take responsibility for what many are doing, and have done, that contributes to our shared existence.</p>
<p>This alone would be unlike many leaders who take office and make a point of undermining, or worst still, undoing, all that was done before them or by their predecessors. Or those who hold offices and invest so much in decrying, complaining, unravelling, and withering critiques of those trying to work alongside. Or those who claim to be part of a team, but cannot and will not support one another when things get tough.</p>
<p>A poetics of solidary demands that we put our money, and other resources, including activating our so-called values – where our mouths are. It is not good enough to speak about human rights, and/or the glory of our respective faiths and/or “interfaith peacemaking”, or even building edifices to such ‘co-existence’, when we do not contribute to the efforts of those who fight for these rights.</p>
<p>It is hard to justify killing, maiming, criminalising, imprisoning and in other ways, silencing, those who ask for their rights, and struggle for the rights of others. It is also hard to justify those who pretend to fight for the rights of others, when the going is good, and are silent or notably absent, when the going is tough.</p>
<p>What if, rather than undermine, constantly critique, systematically oppose, complain, or even just remaining silent (and hide behind claims that the particular issue at hand is not their business or endeavour), when we see our fellow humans give – what if we praise, give thanks, reach out to share a kind word, and better still, ask how we can help…? What if we give of the ‘little’ we have? Don’t all our faiths say that? You think this sounds too simple?</p>
<p>Did Einstein not say at some point something like the only difference between stupidity and genius, is that genius has its limits, and that everything should be made as simple as possible – but not simpler? Kindness, praise, and giving of what we value, to those we would normally not (want to) see or deign to appreciate, giving to those who speak and work and live differently – but aim for the collective good, is not simple. It is genius. Working together with those who may bear a different institutional flag, rather than seeking to create or consolidate your own, is also genius.</p>
<p>A poetics of solidarity may require us to acknowledge that solidarity is fundamentally about how we relate to one another, with kindness, empathy and willingness to serve – in words and deeds. But it is also to humbly realise that even as some of us try our best to relate and to “support”, “empower”, “engender”, or “enable”, we may well end up hurting one another, and/or even damage parts of our environment that some of us, including future generations, will need, to just survive.</p>
<p>When it comes to the poetics of solidarity in the age of ‘holy wars’, we cannot afford to now see anything ‘religious’ as a saviour, or the only source of our interrelated salvation. Nor can we afford to ignore the religious realms altogether, thinking we know our welfare best, or keep the religious at bay. Instead, we need to take responsibility for the fact that our faiths – including our faith in human rights – demand us to be accountable for ourselves, one another, and our planet.</p>
<p>What we need is a poetics of solidarity which does no harm – but this may well mean sacrificing something dear to us. We have lived – and still do – in an age where we think it is possible to have it all. Perhaps we may just have to come to terms with the fact that we each, and all, need to let go of something valuable to us – and to give, in service, instead.</p>
<p>All our institutions, groups, communities and our individual selves, bear a responsibility. Our long-established religious institutions, faith-based and interfaith initiatives in their mushrooming multitudes, need to be held accountable to what we give of our most valuable, to those who are not religious, those who come from different religions or religious organisations, and especially, to those who uphold all human rights for all peoples at all times.</p>
<p>Secular rights’ bearers and duty holders too, need to take responsibility for how we marginalise even as we ‘advocate’, how we maim as we seek to ‘protect’, and how we silence as we vocalise the ‘like-minded’. We speak of alliances and partnerships, but we walk, and work, in silos, seeking our own profit(s).</p>
<p>A poetics of solidarity may well be about cultivating and deliberately working alongside those we dislike, and giving the best of what we have, and of whom we are.</p>

<p><span class="meta_origin">NEW YORK, Jun 24 2024 (IPS) </span>&#8211; “Holy War” is how the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church referred to the Russian war on the Ukraine, and indeed, on “the West”<sup><strong>1</strong></sup> . “Holy War”, aka “jihad” is a foundational principle of “the Base” or “al-Qaeda”, which has grown into a non-state hydra with too many names and atrocities to list here (but if you are curious, one of the hydra faces is ISIS).<br />
<span id="more-185808"></span></p>
<p>In a recent opinion piece published in Foreign Policy, columnist Caroline de Gruyter noted that <em>“Israel and Palestine Are Now in a Religious War”</em>, in her attempt to argue why the Middle East conflict has been getting increasingly brutal, and increasingly hard to solve.</p>
<p>The intersection between holiness and war is even more nuanced in <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/ty-WRITER/0000017f-da25-d42c-afff-dff71d7e0000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zvi Bar’el</a>’s Opinion piece in Haaretz, when he notes that “the war in Gaza is no longer about revenge for the murder of 1,200 Israelis or the hostages.</p>
<p>If they all die, along with hundreds of more soldiers, the price would still be justified for the Jewish Jihad waging a war for Gaza’s resettlement” [emphasis added]. Hamas’ own name –the acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement) – needs no elaboration. Neither does Lebanon’s Hizbullah (Party of God).</p>
<p>In India, a report by the Indian Citizens and Lawyers Initiative (in April of 2023), entitled “Routes of Wrath: Weaponising Religious Processions”, notes</p>
<p><em>Indian history is rife with instances of religious processions that led to communal strife, riots, inexcusable violence, arson, destruction of property and the tragic deaths of innocent residents of the riot-hit areas. There have been horrific riots and bloodletting caused by other factors too, most prominently the anti-Sikh pogrom of 1984 and the Gujarat pogrom of 2002, but no cause of interfaith riots has been as recurrent and widespread as the religious procession. This is as true of pre-Independence India as during the 75 years since we became a free nation…Post-Independence, we have faced numerous communal riots in diverse parts of India, under different political regimes, and the vast majority of these have been caused by the deliberate choice of communally-sensitive routes by processionists, and the pusillanimity of the Police in dealing with such demands, or even their collusion and connivance in licencing such routes.<sup><strong>2</strong></sup></em></p>
<p>Already back in August of 1988, in an article entitled “Holy War Against India”, explicitly speaks of “Sikh terrorism” in the Punjab, noting that it “took about a thousand lives in 1987 and more than a thousand in the first five months of 1988.</p>
<p>If it continues at the present rate, Sikh terrorism in the Punjab will have cost more lives in two years than the IRA campaign in Northern Ireland has cost in twenty.” <sup><strong>3</strong></sup> Speaking of Northern Ireland, the marching season remains a flashpoint among Catholics and Protestants.</p>
<p>Politicised religion, or religionised politics – whence religious discourse is part of political verbiage, tactics, expedient alliances, sometimes informing foreign policy priorities, occasionally used to justify conflict – are not new phenomena. In fact, they may well be one of the oldest features of politics, governance – and warmaking.</p>
<p>The Crusades against Muslim expansion in the 11th century were recognized as a “holy war” or a <em>bellum sacrum</em>, by later writers in the 17th century. The early modern wars against the Ottoman Empire were seen as a seamless continuation of this conflict by contemporaries. Religion and politics are the oldest bedfellows known to humankind.</p>
<p>What is relatively new, is that after the 100-year war in Europe, and the subsequent moves towards secularisation or the so-called ‘separation of Church and State’ (again, really only in parts of Europe), provided a false sense of the dominance of secular governance in modern times.</p>
<p>Yet, even in the citadels of secular Western Europe, a relationship binding Church and State always existed, for the religious institutions and their affiliated social structures, remain critical social service providers – and humanitarian actors – till today. A reality now understood to be relevant in all parts of our world.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, what we are seeing today is a resurgence of religious politics, and the politics of religion, in almost all corners of the world. Before the Russian Orthodox Church proclaimed its “holy war” narrative, the reference to religion and politics almost always focused on Muslim-majority contexts, specifically on Iran, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Other realities would often go unnoticed, or somehow deemed as ‘odd’ or one-time phenomena – for instance the fact that the 2016 US elections delivered a Trump administration with full and public backing by a significant part of the Evangelical movement (many of whom are backing a potential comeback of him now); or the fact that related Evangelical counterparts backed Bolsenaro’s rise to power in Brazil; or the fact that religious arguments against abortion remain a key US electoral feature for decades; or the fact that a number of right-leaning anti-immigrant political discourses and blatant white supremacist politics have religious backing in parts of Europe and Latin America.</p>
<p>Was it perhaps that since these took place in ‘white’ and Christian-majority polities, somehow set these aside from being factored as part of the global resurgence of religious politics?</p>
<p>Whatever the case may be, it is time to smell that particularly strong brew of coffee, now. And as we do so, we are also obliged to note that it is no coincidence that this ‘brew’ is taking place at a time of remarkable social and political polarisation in many societies.</p>
<p>Indeed. we speak of multiple and simultaneous crisis (e.g. climate change, catastrophic governance, wars, famines, rampant inequalities, soaring human displacement, nuclear fears, systemic racism, rising multiple violence, drug wars, proliferation of arms and weapons, misogyny, etc.) and we also acknowledge the wilting multilateral influence to confront these. But as we acknowledge these, we must also recognise that social cohesion is a lasting and tragic victim.</p>
<p>Some governmental, non-governmental and intergovernmental entities have turned to religion(s) as a possible panacea. Religious leaders are being convened in multiple capitals (at significant cost) in almost all corners of the world.</p>
<p>Regularly touting the peacefulness and the unparalleled supremacy of their respective moral standpoints. Religious NGOs are being sought out, supported and partnered with more regularly to help address multiple crisis – especially humanitarian, educational, public health, sanitation, and child-focused efforts.</p>
<p>Interfaith initiatives are competing among each other, and with other secular ones, for grants from governments and philanthropists in the United States, Europe, Africa, many parts of Asia (with the notable exception of China), and the Middle East. Engaging, or partnering with religious entities is the new normal.</p>
<p>But just as the largely secular efforts we lived through (and some of us served for decades) in the 1960s to the 1990s, did not realise a brave new world, religious ones, on their own, cannot do so either. Especially not with the kind of historical baggage and contemporary narratives of holy war, we are living with now.</p>
<p>It is time we re-consider, re-engage and re-envision a poetics of solidarity rooted an abiding adherence to (and re-education about) all human rights for all peoples at all times. What would that entail?</p>

<p>Included in this benefit concert is Amanda Gorman poem the Hill We Climb and Martin Luther King’s Speech, I have a Dream</p>
<p>Hi, Reverend Paul Sladkus we are here in my backyard between 79th and 80th, in NYC.</p>
<p>7 O’clock is the time that we have been showing our appreciation for the heroes of our city and of the world during this most difficult pandemic period. Today is Martin Luther King Day, Doctor Martin Luther King, and we decided to have a broadcast as our passion is about what Dr. King stood for.</p>
<p>Hola, soy reverendo Paul Sladkus estoy aquí en la parte trasera de mi patio, entre las calles 79 y 89 en la ciudad de Nueva York. Son las 7:00 pm, el tiempo que estamos mostrando nuestro agradecimiento a los héroes de nuestra ciudad y del mundo durante este periodo tan difícil de pandemia. Hoy es el día de Martin Luther King, el Doctor Martin Luther King y hemos decidido hacer esta transmisión, porque nuestra pasión es sobre lo que representaba el Dr. Martin Luther King.</p>
<p>你好，我是保罗·斯拉德库斯牧，我现在在纽约79街到80街之间的一个后院。现在是晚上7点，我想感谢全世界那些为我们付出的人和城市，特别是在这个疫情的期间。今天马丁·路德·金纪念日，马丁·路德·金博士，所以我们决定做一个节目来表达我们对金博士的支持。</p>
<p>Peace and Freedom. Many years ago we did an interview with a facility that was built around 2014, we interview the Executive Director for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights which is down in Atlanta next to the Coco Cola Pavilion down there and other and they got a lot of Corporate Sponsors and they built a wonderful Museum to honor Martin Luther King for the period of human rights and civil rights, this event is a benefit for them.</p>
<p>Paz y libertad. Muchos años atrás hicimos una entrevista en una instalación que se construyo alrededor de 2014, entrevistamos al Director Ejecutivo para los Derechos Civiles y Humanos que esta en Atlanta, Georgia al lado del Pabellón Coca Cola al lado del Pabellón de Coco Cola, allí obtuvieron muchos patrocinadores corporativos y construyeron un maravilloso museo, para horrar a Dr. Martin Luther King, para el periodo de los Derechos Humanos y Derechos Civiles este evento es un beneficio para ellos.</p>
<p>自由与和平。许多年前我们进行了一个采访，对一个2014左右年建成的设施。我们采访了国家公民与人权中心位于亚特兰大州和佐治亚州，在可口可乐纪念馆旁边。他们得到了很多公司的赞助，所以他们建了一个很棒的博物馆，来纪念马丁·路德·金他对人权与民权的贡献。</p>
<p>So that is an important subject to us, as you know we have been involved in Peace and our Peace Day Party for the world. Tonight, we wanted to do a special program and share it with many people and to give some kind of understanding on how to create a show, because we are on Facebook Live and you can do that with your own community. We will also rebroadcast this on www.goodnewsplanet.TV and will put the broadcast into some different language, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and Hindi and others and help others learn how to create a show and broadcast it.</p>
<p>Así que es un tema muy importante para nosotros, como saben hemos estado involucrados en la Paz y nuestra Fiesta del Día de la Paz para el mundo. Esta noche queríamos hacer un programa especial y compartirlo con muchas personas y dar algún tipo de compresión de como crear un programa, porque estamos en Facebook Live y puedes hacerlo con tu propia comunidad. También estaremos retransmitiendo esto en www.goodnewsplanet.TV y pondremos esta emisión en diferentes idiomas, español, chino, árabe, hindi y otros. Toma este Podcasts y ayuda a otros aprender como hacer Podcasts.</p>
<p>这对我们是一个非常非常重要的主题。因为如您所知，我们一直在参与世界上的和平活动和关于和平日常的聚会。所以今晚我们想做一个节目和许多人分享，同时也为了更加了解怎么做节目，因为我们现在在做Facebook Live。你也可以在你的朋友圈做这些，我们也将会传到www.goodnewsplanet.tv并且讲内容翻译成其他的语言，西班牙语，中文，阿拉伯语和北印度语，帮助其他人学习如何制作节目并进行播出。</p>
<p>The first thing about broadcast something after my 40 plus years in the business is do something that you are passionate about and the Martin Luther King Day is something that I am passionate about. We did a movie on Woodstock with Richie Havens and he was passionate about Martin Luther King and one of the songs that I am going to play right not was adapted by Pete Seeger who was a good friend of ours as well and stood with Martin Luther King.</p>
<p>Lo primera cosa de transmitir algo después de más de 40 años en los negocios es hacer algo que te pasiones y el día de Martin Luther King es algo que me apasiona. Hicimos una película en Woodstock con Richie Havens y él era un apasionado con Martin Luther King y una de las canciones que voy a tocar ahora mismo fue creado y adaptado por Peter Seeger, quien fue un buen amigo de nosotros y estuvo con Martin Luther King.</p>
<p>所以 关于播出节目的第一件事，在我工作了40年以后我发现了，是做自己热衷的事，而马丁·路德·金纪念日也是我热衷的事情。我和里奇·黑文斯在伍德斯托克拍了个电影，他也对马丁·路德·金很有热情。而我现在要演奏的其中一首歌是由皮特·西格改编的，他也和我们一样热衷于马丁·路德·金。</p>
<p>So, let’s get to some music, we are then going to go inside and I am going to play some piano and make it a Name That Tune Soul Music and some other music, we only have a half an hour. So, it’s all good, thank you for tuning in we hope that you take a moment to ponder where the world is right now. OK here we go.</p>
<p>Entonces vamos a poner algo de música, luego vamos a entrar y voy a tocar algo de piano y hacer un Tune Soul Music y alguna otra música, nosotros solo tenemos media hora. Entonces todo estará bien, gracias por sintonizarnos y esperamos que tomes un momento para reflexionar sobre donde el mundo esta en este momento. Bien, aquí vamos.</p>
<p>好了，让我们现在来点音乐。我准备进到屋里然后弹几首钢琴，我想将它称为心灵小调，或许其他。我们只有一个半小时，所以我们准备好了。再次谢谢你的到来，我们希望你能花一点时间来思考一下关于现在的世界。好了，我们走吧。</p>
<p>So we are going to rebroadcast this on www.goodnewsplanet.Tv, Thank you very much for coming and listening and we will make this into a show, if it recorded, it’s a hard thing to do a one man show, record it, tickle the Ivories, sing a little bit and play the sax. . We Shall Overcome, We Have Overcome&#8230; The World is at Peace, there are a few that are not at Peace, they can’t share their difference without bopping someone in the head. We preach NONVIOLENCE and PEACE.</p>
<p>Entonces, estaremos retrasmitiendo esto en www.goodnewsplanet.Tv, muchas gracias por venir y escuchar, lo estaremos convirtiendo en un programa, si esto se graba, nunca lo chequee, es muchas cosas que hacer para una sola persona grabarlo, tocar piano (teclas), cantar y tocar el saxofón. Venceremos, hemos vencido…. El mundo esta en Paz, hay algunos que no están en Paz, ellos no pueden compartir sus diferencias sin golpear a alguien en la cabeza. Nosotros predicamos NO VIOLENCIA.</p>
<p>我们将在www.goodnewsplanet.tv上转播此视频，非常感谢您的参与和收听。我们将把它制作成一个节目，如果它还在录像，我可不想再检查一次。做个人节目确实有点难，录像，挠痒痒，唱歌，和吹萨克斯。我们得克服，必须得克服，世界正在和平中，虽然有一些不和平。有一些人不和别人争破头就无法证明自己的不同，而我们宣扬非暴力与和平。</p>
<p>Every time anybody thinks about who were peacemakers in our lifetime you know that Martin Luther King name does come up, with some of the greatest Peacemakers in history. So, I say it is an honor to spend a couple of moments together with Dr. King. Donate to that Museum/National Center, they have a collection of his writing and a lot of other important information, Richie Havens says that when he was singing at Woodstock that Martin Luther King’s Assassination wa part of what was going on, there was a WAR Vietnam and it was a tough time. Woodstock came out of the time.</p>
<p>Cada tiempo que alguien, piensa acerca de quienes fueron los pacificadores en nuestra vida sabes aparece el nombre de Martin Luther King, Dr. Martin Luther King viene como algunos de los grandes pacificadores en la historia de nuestros tiempos. Entonces, digo que es un honor pasar un par de momentos en honor a el. Dona al Museo National Center, ellos tienen una colección de sus escritos y muchas otras informaciones importantes acerca del tiempo. Richie Havens dice que cuando el estaba cantando en Woodstock que el asesinato de Martin Luther King’s fue parte de lo que estaba pasando, Vietnam estaba en guerra y era un momento difícil en ese periodo de tiempo. Woodstock salió del tiempo.</p>
<p>每当我们想起在我们生命中出现的那些带来和平的人，你就会想到马丁·路德·金的名字，还有历史上一些最伟大的和平缔造者。因此，我很荣幸与金博士见过一段时间，捐赠给那个博物馆/国家中心，他们收集了他的著作和许多其他重要的资料。里奇·黑文斯说，当时他在伍德斯托克音乐节唱歌，针对马丁·路德·金的暗杀正在发生。那时候还发生了越南战争，是一个艰苦的时期，伍德斯托克音乐节就是在那个时期。</p>
