repeace.com is now LIVE (and undergoing a major redesign to include more countries). Repeace wants to repurpose "Activism" as "Repeacing", realizing peace, behind 3 simple, dynamic, empowering pledges per nation
1. I will support businesses that focus on local, sustainable, quality products and services, not on buying influence.
2. I will support politicians who are accountable to me, not to cor
porations.
3. I will support countries that promote and defend freedom of expression. The pledges may differ from nation to nation, depending on the grievances of a nation. The pledges for the UK are the same as for the USA. They measure the public sentiment of the citizen and want to expose the utter hypocrisy of a nation's institutions when its deeds benefit only the corrupted elites and don't reflect the will of the people. Hence they question bluntly the democratic foundations of any nation that claims to act in the interest of the people. The pledges are not a short lived poll, but stay as long as substantial changes are seen and measured in the country. (parameters to be determined)
Accountability is not profitable for neither, politicians, or corporations. Asking a government owned by financial institutions to make banks pay their fair share of taxes doesn’t work. Asking for affordable healthcare, or better wages, affordable education doesn’t quite seem to work. Everyone wants those things, and both parties ignore them. What can work is to make accountability profitable for all parties involved. A win win for all, is when businesses stay out of politics and stop lobbying for influence, politicians start doing their job as representing people. To try to make that happen, we have to show them that there is a demand. Demands create offers, specially when there is money involved. Repeace.com will be creating and measuring those demands and holding them up to our institutions. The demands of accountability are reflecting what JFK referred to, when he spoke about peace in his commencement speech at the American University, in 1963.
“I’m talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men andnations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children–not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women–not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.”
JFK also said:
” Let us focus instead on a more practical, more attainable peace– based not on a sudden revolution in human nature but on a gradual evolution in human institutions–on a series of concrete actions and effective agreements which are in the interest of all concerned.”
Repeace will not function or operate as another organization, but create a tool, a virtual platform that delivers the counts of the pledges, news and blogs, to allow organizations to put pressure on government and businesses. Repeace will also mobilize artists and photographers to submit images from the front rows of the world revolution, and feature the art submitted. Please join our website at:

DISCLAIMER ON PAGE CONDUCT. It refers to the 3 pledges of repeace.com. In every nation in distress, the institution of the people will be able to create their own 3 peaceful demands. The votes will be measured and held up to their corrupted governments and corporate lords. That is the extent of the peaceful expression of the movement. The postings on FB do not hesitate to show an assertive attitude or hold accountable people, cops, authors or organizations who are believed to be hypocrite, vile or righteous. Repeace is NOT the flower power ideal of the little dove dreaming of an utopian world of no wars. For that there has been a peace movement that is well established but seems to need some help. People can't let the governments or the UN be in charge of maintaining "peace". All people can exercise peace if were given back the power to control and support the politicians and businesses who are accountable and ethical. To get to that point we first have to create a demand, and let the businesses respond. Now we have no real option. We need to think outside of the box. We also post images that are just intended to make you laugh. Those may not always be in perfect sync with the cause. The narrative of our plan is often disrupted by all kinds of videos, music videos or jokes. We hope this helps you build accurate expectations on what to expect from a team of ordinary people, fighting for a better world. DELETED POSTS:
