Please know our company, All Platforms Entertainment, has now completed what may become the most bold, exciting and controversial “little movie” of 2012.

The movie is The Congressman's Dinner: A 21st Century American Discussion of Peace, Love and Politics. It is directed by the international awards winning Omar Chraibi, was selected for and screened at the United Nations Global Wake-Up Film Festival (and has recently submitted to the Orlando International Global Peace Film Festival)…

With the dialogue the people participate more, will be fact more value the life and to political, and we abandon the human misery.

Yes, it’s true! The National Peace Academy  – “where peacebuilders go to grow” – is three years old this month, and we are celebrating with the launch just this weekend of a brand new, sleek, spectacularly redesigned website. Check it out, and enjoy.

The Institute for Economics and Peace has just released a new report, the  Economic Consequences of War on the US Economy,  that analyzes the macroeconomic effects of US government spending on wars and the military.

The dialogue does the light enter the minds and the evil, the error, the bad feeling, the ignorance, disappear and exceeds the vision, the knowledge, the information, the consistent peace

How many individuals move, with his health, time, work, that cruel capitalist economy, enriching who does not see them, abandoned to the own luck, dying without helps, evolution, development, and if choose the violence, are exterminated. As wake up the powerful? As it enlarge the small? The dialogue does the light enter the minds and the evil, the error, the bad feeling, the ignorance, disappear and exceeds the vision, the knowledge, the information, the consistent peace.
