My heart is one with you in sadness and gratitude, a journey that lives with us now, a journey in the light of love, a journey where the heart is one, a journey where a trailblazer showed us a straight good way. May God’s infinite compassionate embrace welcome love’s servant with infinite blessings and may we find comfort in faith and gratitude to have heard her timeless pure message with our hearts.

She lived a message of peace and love in action, respecting and protecting all lives and the precious, wondrous web of life. May we each do our best to follow her footsteps.

God will surely Bless our Beloved Jane Goodall with Perfect Infinite Love.

UN Messenger of Peace Michael Douglas — message on nuclear disarmament

04/03/2025

Today, we celebrate Dr. Jane Goodall’s 91st birthday. Here is a message from Jonathan Granoff, President of Global Security Institute:

There is a living web of life. Too many believe that their individual thread is somehow separate from the entire weave. This is an illusion. The weave is One and miraculously the web stretches back in time and continues into the future, if we act responsibly.

Few realize its preciousness. When they do they understand Albert Einstein's statement: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Not only is Jane a living miracle, but as she lives and reminds us of who we really are, we remember that each of us are also part of the precious miracle.

When Jane, and now you and I, say "we", we don't just mean our family, our nation, or even just us humans, but we mean everyone and everything in this living web of miraculous precious life. The best way to thank those who inspire awe and appreciation is to dedicate oneself to protecting and nurturing this miracle.

Thank you Jane. Happy Birthday!

Jonathan Granoff in Newsweek: "Senate Confirmation Battles Are About More Than Individual Nominees."

There is much more at stake in this and upcoming Senate confirmation votes than whether unqualified or unsuitable nominees get key positions in our government, monumentally important as that is. Our entire constitutional system hinges on senators not being rolled by the president or his proxies into ceding their power to the Executive.

Pete Hegseth was narrowly confirmed as defense secretary amid swirling questions about his competence and character, and despite GOP Senators Murkowski and Collins standing up and opposing him.

On 22 September 2024, world leaders at the United Nations adopted a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. This Pact, shaped in part by a contribution by the Global Security Institute (see link below) to the zero draft, represents the culmination of a comprehensive, years-long effort to align international cooperation with the realities of today and the challenges of the future. https://gsinstitute.org/a-golden-rule-for-the-21st-century-treat-the-lives-and-well-being-of-future-generations-as-we-wish-to-be-treated/

Jonathan Granoff of Global Security Institute writing for The Hill today on the Israeli/Gaza conflict:
https://thehill.com/opinion/4646742-israel-peace-palestine-benjamin-netanyahu-clean-break-doctrine/

"Once people come to believe that they have a better future with an insurgency than with a perceived colonial interloper, they will not align themselves with the interloper, no matter how much military force and injury is imposed on them. This is the lesson of Vietnam, Algeria and Afghanistan, and could even be drawn from the American Revolution."

Where does Israel’s policy of violent coercion rather than cooperation and an ever-widening reliance on military force come from?
