Welcome to all those who were at the march and rally in Trafalgar Square in London on Saturday, to mark the 3rd anniversary of the unjustified and brutal war on Iraq and its relatively unprotected and innocent civilian population.

The planet should give a big ‘Thank-you’ to everyone that attended similar protest marches and rallies throughout the globe: some 200 plus cities in all.

The fact that relatively so few of the populations of these participating countries attended is a time for those that did attend to stop and reflect in a serious and searching manner. We are the conscience of our countries. It is important that we remain strong and committed for the sake of the future of humanity. These events bring us together and are a moral-boosting aid, showing that we are still numerous, that we still have an important message to deliver and that there is still hope that the power seeking, warmongering, greedy individuals of this world can be opposed.

Now here comes ‘the crunch’. We are deluded if we think that what we are doing on these marches is helping to rally others to the cause of peace and harmony with the planet. This is painful, but true. The marches and rallies got only a few lines mention in the newspapers and very little air-time on news programmes. This means that unless you were there or strongly opinioned towards these matters and sought them out, then therewas little chance of being noticed and therefore of furthering peace at all!

If you are visiting this site because you were handed a ribbon and leaflet or that you visited our stall in the Square, you have been given the means to do something unique and ultimately effective. ONLY by reaching out to the general population of this and other countries can we peacemakers hope to succeed. The media are controlled, so that despite a few notable exceptions, the tendency is to obey their paymasters and promote the warmongering profiteers such as the Bush and Blair Administrations.
These are evil men who care for no-one but their greedy selves.

‘Traffic lights for peace’ is a unique concept. We are within the global network of communication. We are not held hostage to money. We are totally non-financial. We do not have to dilute our aims to create an ‘Organisation’. We do not have to seek finance to buy offices and buildings, nor to run demonstrations or meetings.

At 'Traffic lights for peace' you get undiluted cause, striving for a peaceful and harmonious planet for ALL humanity, not just an elite few. Join us. You don’t have to pay anything or do anything except log onto the site regularly. If you want regular updates on issues of possible interest, then become a ‘member’, which really means regular email info will be sent to you.

Here is where you can help. Log on regularly. Tell others of the site. Help spread informed opinion to the world’s population outside the control of the media moguls.
Convert traffic lights to ‘Beacons of peace’. You know how! Tying a ribbon of any colour immediately converts it to a message board that says

(red) STOP WAR

(amber) CHANGE TO

(green) a GREEN PLANET.

This is simple to perform and is achievable! As we grow and the population gets more and more to recognise the symbolism and message of the lights, then we have an effective means of reaching the general population and influencing them away from the control of the powerful and the greedy. If we can convert the universal traffic light to represent the above message in most peoples eyes, then there will be a regular, almost subliminal, message we can give universally to encourage the search for a more peaceful and harmonious world. This also gives us a universal focus point and highly visible, evenly distributed rallying point to further the causes of peace, justice and environmental care.

PLEASE help bring that about, for the sake of ALL and for a sustainable future.
Become a regular visitor to this site and pass your comments. We encourage discussion and feedback and remember that we are here to promote the many excellent organisations that already exist; there is no need for yet another, other than one like us that has no requirement to alter its principles or aims because of external pressure.

Keep surfing for peace, justice and care of our world and return to THIS SITE SOON!

3 Years on. Iraq is a bloody disaster.
Bush and Blair promised a fast, ‘clean war’, of ‘shock and awe’.
They have got what their evil arrogance deserves, but unjustly it is others, the innocents who suffer. Both men have sought to be remembered as great warriors by history. It is important for future humanity that they are remembered as the narcissistic bloody butchers that they truly are.

To abandon every ounce of true justice and continue to brag that they have done a good deed is obscene. All it required was a smidgeon of humility in admitting they got it wrong and ask forgiveness and help from others to really help the people of Iraq in the aftermath of their unjustified war. No, each day that passes condemns them more in most eyes.
Today’s march is important. Joined by many hundreds of thousand around the world in approximately 200 cities, we will not forget. Humanity will not forget these two international criminals.

In 1912, man in his arrogance claimed a new dawn on the seas with the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic. Again it was the weak and innocent who paid for that arrogance, but history has revealed such arrogant men’s folly.
The polar ice sheets melt, petrol greed runs unabated, and the world heats up beneath the cover of the CO2 greenhouse. Man’s arrogance is paving the way for another disaster. Isn’t it time we learnt.
We need to work together, for the benefit of all, not just an elite few.
This is our world, not that of corporate directors.
War is waste. It is the product of selfishly seeking Earthly power and all consuming greed. Don’t be fooled by claims that war is for defence or protection; it is about money and power.
The greatest fear of those who weald power, is that we peacemakers unite to become effective and share the wonders of this world amongst us all.
Marches and demos are an important bonding mechanism and means of expressing mutual support and encouragement in our fight to bring about a just and fair world for all.
These marches and demos serve many good functions in that cause, but do not unite sufficient numbers of humanity to truly make the powerful take note. Many groups come together for these events, but then return to being unheard again.

We need to think laterally. We need to make a virtue of our human individuality in our battle to free the world from the greed merchants.
A continuous protest and uniting under a simple ‘banner’ can bring the power seekers’ greatest fear closer to reality. Finding a simple mechanism that unites the vast majority, who seek peace and harmony with the planet, is possible and now exists!

‘Traffic lights for peace’. This movement is unique. It is ethereal in nature. It has no physical structure, no organisational hierarchy. It is totally non-financial to avoid the pitfalls of greed and pride. Our focus is on the cause not in making this group larger or more influential than another, nor do we claim to have all the answers.
All uniting movements so far have failed to truly deliver because they have sought to be ‘the one’, to be the super-group that makes the breakthrough. Pride rather than cause becomes the focus. ‘Traffic lights for peace’ is different, we don’t exist structurally, yet potentially with focused aims we have the possibility of activating the silent majority, even the apathetic! Participation is not a problem with the traffic light concept because nearly everybody can do it with little effort due to its simplicity in being local and global at the same instant!
The war on Iraq is more unpopular now than it was before its commencement when nearly 2 million marched in central London. Today our numbers have dwindled to tens of thousands. We represent the conscience of the nation. So much effort, organisation, finance and resources are tied up providing a few hours protest.

Mr. Blair will probably go to Checkers to relax and get away from the noise and the disruption. His only contact is likely to be a glanced look at the television News in its one minute slot. This is hardly a devastating repost to an individual responsible for so many deaths.
However, if we convert a widespread, highly visible, essential object in our petrol driven world, into a banner or poster for peace and dissent against our loss of rights, on virtually every street corner, then Blair will have a constant reminder wherever he goes! We will also then possess the means to get even more people on the streets, should he ever try anything like Iraq again.
Simply by tying a ribbon to a traffic light post instantly converts it to a ‘Beacon of peace’ saying: STOP WAR, CHANGE TO, a GREEN PLANET.
This concept also enables the opportunity of inspiring greater awareness and possible action over global warming, where humanity must co-ordinate its response in order to achieve an effective solution.

UK Prime Minister Blair has recently claimed no mortal is fit to judge him, only God.
If he and Bush were true Christians they would have sought every avenue available to avoid war. To kill as these two have, with such impunity and vivacity, is not Christian.

It is not sufficient or acceptable to say let’s move on, it happened. No, the situation in Iraq is so much worse now than when a butcherous dictator was in charge. Ask ‘liberated’ Iraqis now and they will tell of their fear and despair as indiscriminate killing continues unabated and infrastructure we take for granted in the West is denied to these beleaguered victims of two men’s arrogance and folly.

True Christians in positions of such power would not say let’s move on, true Christians would make every effort to gain help from around the world by admitting the error of their ways and moving forward with true caring spirit to help the people of Iraq. The political posturing of Bush and Blair in these circumstances is obscene and abhorrent to any truly Christian soul.

The people of Iraq wait for justice. Bush and Blair with their unrelenting intransigence are the cause, not the cure, of the evil that stalks Iraq. One day in their lifetime, perhaps, Bush and Blair will face justice for their continuing crime against humanity and what Christ really stands for.

Their continuing denial and arrogance condemns them more each day. If we do not learn by our errors then what hope do we deserve?
