Iran nuclear deal – on the road to peace
April 4th, 2015 | 
Author: Jan Oberg commenting on Iranian President Rouhani: “Tehran abides by commitments, if P5 1 fulfills promises” – YouTube/PressTV http://ow.ly/LbX3d
In spite of the deal’s negative sides, Iran has chosen peace to the benefit of the world.
In that perspective it is much more than a nuclear deal, it’s – potentially – a road to peace.

Fighting with non-violence
By Scilla Elworthy
From April 2012
I’m very pleased to have TFF Associate Scilla Elworthy speak to you here. She’s been a dear friend and colleague since 1987 and doesn’t need any introduction except perhaps: Here comes wise, soft-spoken Scilla in a formidably powerful way: Attack the problem to be solved, never attack the people. Scilla’s way of doing it is in the true spirit of Gandhi’s advise: Be the change you want to see!
The power of non-violence is concrete, visible, it is there to be employed.
And so, there is hope!

New website promoting pro-peace work
By Jan Oberg
At 25, TFF’s Board has decided to move the Foundation in a new direction which we call pro-peace: more imagination, proposal-making and healing, slightly less emphasis on diagnosis and prognosis.
In medicine and health it is well-known that the patient won’t recover no matter how much the doctor criticizes the disease or predicts the patient’s death within a year or two.
Only when some constructive action is taken to bring about recovery and health, will the patient get a chance to survive.
Here’s 3 minutes about TFF’s new, diversified Internet presence, a first step to move in the mentoned direction.
There is also an appeal to you because one thing will not change: that TFF is people-financed and all-volunteer. We need your help the Foundation to stay truly independent of government and the corporate world and remain experimental, and outspoken.
