War, war, and rumours of more wars; God knows it's long past time for peace. But Peace, as the great Gil Scott Herron reminds, is not merely the absence of War. "It is the time when we will all bring ourselves closer to each other; closer to building a structure that is unique within ourselves, because we have finally come to Peace within ourselves."

Dr. Will Tuttle is a visionary speaker, educator, musician, editor of Circles of Compassion, and author of the books, 'Your Inner Islands' and 'The World Peace Diet', which the former Zen monk and long-time vegan says provides an approach to life that, "blends mindfulness with kindness and respect for each other and all expressions of life."

Listen. Hear.

Dr. Tuttle will be in Victoria for a number of events beginning August 20th, including presenting workshops based on his book that address and, "make explicit the hidden connections between our culture, our food, and the source of our broad range of problems..."

Will Tuttle in the first half.

And; the peace enjoyed by the people of Nicaragua since the overthrow of dictator and tyrant Anastasio "Tachito" Somoza was hard-won, and not without reversals. In the last months, an attempt to unseat the elected government of leftist, Daniel Ortega however has seen what many fear could be the beginning of the end of that peace, and revival of the dark forces of fascism once buried, perhaps too shallowly, there.

Kevin Zeese is an American lawyer, political activist, essayist, and author. He's also co-founder of the Drug Policy Foundation and current co-director of Popular Resistance.org, from where his and colleague, Dr. Margaret Flowers' weekly podcast, Clearing The Fog emanates.

His frequent essays and articles on social justice issues in America and abroad appear at Popular Resistance, CounterPunch, and Gorilla Radio Blog among other places, and his book titles include: 'Drug Law: Strategies and Tactics', 'Drug Prohibition an the Conscience of Nations', and 'The Great Issues of Drug Policy'.

And; Victoria activist and CFUV Radio broadcaster at-large, Janine Bandcroft will be here with the Left Coast Events Bulletin of some of the good things to get up to in and around our town in the coming week. But first, Will Tuttle and a World of Peace on your plate.
