From TFF Director Jan Oberg
Lund, Sweden - June 9, 2025

Dear friend,

Welcome to The Transnational and TFF on Substack. We are encouraged by the many new subscribers and supporters we receive daily - words of encouragement, invitations, and more.

The hunger for peace-related views is growing exponentially, while militarism’s useful idiots are getting increasingly desperate in their accusations, emotionalist ‘policies’ and their self-destruction.

You can lie to some of the people some of the time, but not to all of the people all of the time, to paraphrase an old political truth. There will be a wake-up moment.

Peace will win in the long run simply because humanity’s huge majority wants it. Militarism, armament, and war will eventually be seen as a primitive and uncivilised thing of the past. They will be looked down upon and condemned as was slavery, cannibalism, absolute monarchy, or child pornography.

TFF keeps working on both dimensions. Remember, we are exclusively people-financed, all-volunteer and therefore, unique in today’s world, able to still do free research and free public education on the way to our 40th anniversary.

Everything we do will be free for all, forever. But! If you can afford it and love peace, become a paying subscriber or hit the red button below. Thanks!

What’s new - and old - goodies this time?

TFF mostly produce writings, so I continue to point you in the direction of all the various categories of our Video Collections.

And here is the new bouquet of reports, analyses, and debate articles. You can browse them all in one go at The Transnational, TFF on Substack and Jan Oberg’s blog, but below you have links to each new post.

TFF will - also forever - remain 100% people-financed, all-volunteer and therefore able to do free research and education. We’ve done it since September 1985. We’re one of the last think tanks doing true peace research, not political science, international relations, geopolitics or “security” studies!

We publish articles and videos every day, but think it would feel like spamming you if we sent you an email every time. So between these about-weekly PressInfos, please visit our sites if you don't want to miss anything.

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 the obvious peaceful conflict resolution and say the word 'peace.' So please:

Support TFF on Donorbox. It is easy, quick, and safe. You can choose any amount from 5 US$ to US$ 1000 and make it a one-time or recurrent monthly donation. And you’ll never see ads or paywalls. So press that red peace button now. Feel good and support us today!

🌹 Thanks a lot to all the brave people worldwide who continue to support TFF's peace research and public education work. If you are still not among them, punch the red button or help us by sharing. We have a common interest that you share TFF stuff widely to help abolish militarism and make peace the highest value again! ☮   🕊️

⭕ Oberg PhotoGraphics on Substack

Just launched, it’s an experiment in art/photography, existential and philosophical dimensions of contemporary life, topical image series like “Spring,” my works in the making, insights into how artists think and more. Diversity and surprises abound…

Perhaps it is all about peace in another way, about a peace culture? Give it a try!

My best!
