In the new official video of the Women Wage Peace movement, Israeli singer Yael Deckelbaum sings the song “Prayer of the Mothers” alongside women and mothers of all religions, showing what music can change. An all-female event that is worth a thousand words.

Professor Kerryn Phelps AM, former member for Wentworth and president of the Australian Medical Association, has stated on the record that COVID-19 vaccine side effects are SUBSTANTIALLY under reported.
In her submission to a parliamentary inquiry, Phelps broke ranks with the mainstream medical community by claiming that “the incidence of serious adverse reactions per vaccinated person could be more than 1-in-1,000”. She acknowledged that this is a CONSERVATIVE estimate, saying “an order of magnitude of under-reporting is not unreasonable to consider.”
She also accused regulators of censoring doctors during the pandemic, and suggested that claims that the vaccines were safe were made “without data.”
Professor Phelps was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2011 for her services to health and medicine. She’s the furthest thing from a crackpot conspiracy theorist — so why have her statements been roundly ignored by the people in power?
A Pandemic Royal Commission will give experts like Professor Phelps an opportunity to challenge the official narrative.

(Tom: Here’s a man making a positive difference in people’s lives!
Not many of us cannot do something this simple.
Doesn’t take an iron will, superhuman strength or millions of dollars. Just a bit of money, time, care and the intention to make the world a better place.
And if you want to start with zero dollars down, here’s a great quote I saw yesterday:
“You cannot add to the peace and goodwill of the world if you fail to create an atmosphere of harmony and love right where you live and work.” – Thomas Dreier
So, on your list of things to do today, what are you going to add that makes the world better than it was yesterday? Here are some suggestions.
Smile more. Especially when you first make eye contact and answering the phone.
Compliment people.
Hold a door open.
Let someone merge into your lane when driving.
Smile and wave or say thank you when someone lets you cut in or is otherwise polite to you.
Pay more attention when someone is talking to you.
Make a game of this.)
Every weekend, 93-year-old Bob Williams walks into his local dollar store in Long Grove, Iowa, and buys a box of Hersheys. Not those small, regular-sized candy bars… but the really big ones.
Bob, however, typically doesn’t enjoy them himself. He gives one to the cashier, and then to the person waiting behind him in line. And then he walks the downtown area handing them out to everyone he sees… …young, old, men, women, happy, sad… …everyone. He has been doing this for the past 11 years and he’s known as “The Candy Bar guy.”
It’s estimated that over the years, Bob has handed out about 6,000 chocolate bars.
So why does Bob do it? Because it puts a smile on everyone’s face. And THAT’S always worth it.

“I graduated High School this week. When my dad said he had a present for me I thought I was getting some cheesy graduation card. But what I received was something truly priceless. Following the ceremony he handed me a bag with a copy of “Oh The Places You’ll Go” by Doctor Seuss inside. At first I just smiled and said that it meant a lot and that I loved that book. But then he told me, ‘No, open it up.’
On the first page I see a short paragraph written by none other than my kindergarten teacher. I start tearing up but I’m still confused. He tells me, ‘Every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten I’ve gotten every teacher, coach and principal to write a little something about you inside this book.’
“My early teachers mention my “pigtails and giggles” while my high school teachers mention my “wit and sharp thinking.” But they all mention my humor and love for life. It is astounding to receive something this moving, touching nostalgic and thoughtful.”
