Preventing nuclear war is fundamentally (in totality) a spiritual matter. Consortium News readers from across the Earth are now hereby challenged to prove otherwise.
“Bhagavad-Gita (Bhagavad -Gita As it Is – see book download link below) is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India’s spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries. In translating the Gita, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning of Krishna’s words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment. The Gita is a conversation between Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna. At the last moment before entering a battle between brothers and friends, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder: Why should he fight? What is the meaning of his life? Where is he going after death? In response, Krishna brings His friend from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment, and each one of us is invited to walk the same path.”
Peace.

Although I haven’t listened to the entire presentation, it was disgusting enough to hear Scott Ritter relate the info that US military planners are actively planning a preemptive first-strike against Russia! I mean WTF?!? I recall back in the late 50’s/early 60’s the US was supposedly worried that those treacherous/devious commies (USSR or Chinese — they were all the same!) might try to a sneak-attack (because they were amoral godless communists and couldn’t be trusted!). And now here WE are, 60 years later, being the assholes who are admitting to planning actions that could very possibly kill several BILLION people (if not all 8+ billion of us!). And of course the MSM isn’t really mentioning this in any serious urgent way – don’t want to bum-out their audience. Scary and disgusting at the same time..
I’ll be running errands all day today and this presentation will accompany me the whole way. A very important event. Thanks for putting this together.
The Biden administration neocons have become even crazier than usual since Biden lost the election to Trump, who has promised to get out of the Ukraine War with Russia. They are trying to leave Trump in a war with Russia. This is outrageous, disgusting behavior and needs to be condemned in Congress. Congress needs to stop Biden’s neocons from escalating the war in Ukraine.
