“Francis of Assisi tells us we should work to build peace. But there is no true peace without truth! There cannot be true peace if everyone is his own criterion, if everyone can always claim exclusively his own rights, without at the same time caring for the good of others, of everyone, on the basis of the nature that unites every human being on this earth.” IfsShouldHumansEarthHuman BeingsRightsBasesClaimsCaringBeing TrueCriteriaTrue Peace Book:Care for Creation: A Call for Ecological Conversion Source: Care for Creation: A Call for Ecological Conversion

“The ability of human beings to be creative depends fundamentally on the health and well-being of our biosphere, the few kilometres of air, water, and soil that surround our planet like the skin of an apple.

“The sea erupted. Often the sea and land changed places. The immobility of contours of continents and seas, a dogma in geology, has no basis in fact. And immediately there is the problem of the climate. There were ancient climates that were very different from what they are today. If those corals grew where they were found, certainly the Earth was not travelling with the same elements of rotation and revolution which means not in the same orbit, not with the axis directed in the same position as it is today. If you don't believe it, try to conservate corals on the North Pole.” IfsTryingBelieveMeanDifferentFactsProblemTodayEarthFoundSeaLandPositionChangedRevolutionGrewElementsBasesClimateDon't BelieveAncientDogmaContinentsGeologyOrbitAxesRotationNorth Pole Author:Immanuel Velikovsky
“Meanwhile, the U.S. debt remains, as it has been since 1790, a war debt; the United States continues to spend more on its military than do all other nations on earth put together, and military expenditures are not only the basis of the government's industrial policy; they also take up such a huge proportion of the budget that by many estimations, were it not for them, the United States would not run a deficit at all.” Has BeensWarStatesGovernmentRunningEarthTogetherNationsUnitedUnited StatesMilitaryPolicyHugeBasesRemainsDebtBudgetsProportionDeficitExpendituresEstimationBudget Deficit Author:David Graeber
“The further conquest of space will make it possible, for example, to create systems of satellites making daily revolutions around our planet at an altitude of some 40,000 kilometers, and to assure universal communications and the relaying of radio and television transmissions. Such an arrangement might prove more useful, economically, than the construction of radio relay systems over the whole surface of the earth. The great accuracy of movement of these satellites will provide a reliable basis for solving navigational problems” WholeProblemMightEarthSpaceExampleMovementTelevisionPlanetsCommunicationRevolutionProveUniversalBasesRadioSurfaceConstructionArrangementsConquestOur PlanetAccuracySatellitesTransmissionRelays Author:Sergei Korolev
“If the world is made to furnish each individual with the means of livelihood and the instruments for his growth and progress, each man has therefore the right to find in the world what is necessary for himself. The recent Council reminded us of this: "God intended the earth and all that it contains for the use of every human being and people. Thus, as all men follow justice and unite in charity, created goods should abound for them on a reasonable basis."” PeopleIfsMenWorldShouldHumansMeanMadeUseEarthPoliticsIndividualGrowthJusticeHuman BeingsEconomyProgressBasesInstrumentsCharityLiberalismReasonableGoodsCouncilLivelihood Author:Pope Paul VI
