One of the hopeful things, that I’ve discovered, is, that nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies. The media could have stopped it if they’d search deep enough, if they hadn’t reprinted government propaganda, they could have stopped it. But what does this mean? Well, that means basically populations don’t like wars. And populations have to be fooled into wars. Populations don’t willingly and with open eyes go into a war. So if we have a good media environment, then you will also have a peaceful environment.

Das ist das, woran wir arbeiten müssen: Daran, dass unsere Medien nicht einfach das drucken, was den Akteuren in den Kram passt. Daran, dass sie in offene Wunden fassen und dafür sorgen, dass wir Bürger uns frei für Frieden entscheiden können.
