Lund, Sweden - September 27, 2024
Dear friend,
TFF Board members and others have returned from three weeks around China, including one in the largest province, Xinjiang. You’ll hear much more - but below some first results.
You may like to take a look at TFF reports like The Xinjiang Genocide Determination as Agenda and Behind The Smokescreen. And Analysis of the West’s Destructive China Cold War Agenda and Why It Must Stop. Most people are unaware of how consistently Western mainstream media and politicians, left to right, deliberately distort knowledge and news about China. One reason is that the US recently set off no less than US$ 1600 million to churn out negative materials about China. Details here. And the facts in this article will only add to the distortion…
Here is now a new bouquet of articles and videos from your truly independent peace research and education source with 38 years of experience in promoting true peace through research and public education:
Russia has never tried to dictate any narrative to me, unlike the West
Nord Stream bombing: "The 'drunken Ukrainians' story is frankly embarrassing"
Why minority languages are disappearing from some classrooms in Xinjiang but not Tibet
“If You Want To Understand China” – Foreword and Introduction to a TFF anthology in the making
The Injustice and Tragic Circumstances Surrounding Johan Galtung’s Death
A regional strategy for sustainable peace for Israel and Palestine - Johan Galtung’s 1971 peace plan. It is still the most comprehensive peace plan! Think if anybody had listened, if not to all its single elements, then to Galtung’s approach…

A warm welcome to our many new subscribers, particularly in China. New articles, older but spot-on articles, videos and TFF PressInfo will come winging directly into your e-mail inbox. If you have not subscribed yet, do it below.
We are upgrading and intensifying our social media presence - we’re boosting our X/Twitter presence, growing on LinkedIn and Telegram and being seen by fewer than ever on Facebook here and here because of its blatant political algorithm/censorship. We are also getting serious about WeChat. Join TFF where you are and let’s build a global peace opinion…
TFF is unique in that it remains all-volunteer and exclusively people-financed. That's how we have produced truly free, radical, critical and constructive peace research and public education for peace since 1986.

Please be aware that TFF is working uphill against all kinds of censorship, banning, downgrading and logarithms - on search engines and social media feeds - because we continue to criticise militarism, suggest obvious peaceful conflict resolution and say the word 'peace.' So please:

Fundraising in honour of Johan Galtung and his daughter Irene
Johan Galtung’s last and very moving video from 2022. Read also how he was mistreated by Norwegian health authorities - and others - until he died: Peace researcher Johan Galtung’s human rights violated as he approached death. See here, too!
Over seven decades, thousands upon thousands have benefitted from Galtung’s 150+ books, his countless lectures on all continents and mediation efforts in lots of conflicts. When he died thousands also expressed their grief.
But it seems that very few of them meant it deeply enough to make just a small donation to this fundraising to redress his honour after the injustice and to help his beloved daughter whose human rights have also been violated grossly.
My best!
