Here's why people

donate money to TFF



 

Effekten er stor, fred kan vindes uden vold

Jeg støtter TFF, fordi jeg har stor tillid til Jan Øberg, som jeg første gang hørte om i en radioudsendelse for cirka fire år siden. Hans udtalelser og holdninger gik rennt ind hos mig. Det giver så meget mening, og sikken et kæmpearbejde, han gør. Derfor glæder det mig, hver gang jeg modtager en nyhedsmal om nye tiltag og artikler, at se hvor mange mennesker, der efterhånden har fulgt op på Jan Øbergs initiativ. Jeg er sikker på, at effekten er stor, og jeg tror på, at freden kan vindes uden vold. Med vold er det umuligt.

Talerør for dem der lider

Etablissementets politiske korrekthed og selvgodhed lever i værste velgående - i al ubemærkethed. Her er det ok. at gå i krig mod Irak uden FN-mandat og at ignorere FN´s påtale af Israels gentagne overskridelser at menneskerettighederne. Den globale klassedeling lever de militærindustrielle firmaer af. 
Det uafhængige TFF er talerør for de mange, mange mennesker, der rammes af Vestens interesser og - frelsthed.

Greater awareness

The only way we can create the wonderful societies and civilizations we are all wishing for is by creating them ourselves. It all starts with education and independent thinking, and TFF is one of the best examples of a dynamic organization devoted to the enlightenment of the people through the fostering of greater awareness and critical thinking. I hope many more people will support TFF in order to increase our chances of making the world a better place.

Holism...

I am grateful to TFF because of the balanced outlook in its presentation of news items. As someone who sees global peace and security in holistic terms - environmental, economic, military/political and psychological/ethical - I find TFF broadens my insights through a valuable range of up to date information. I gladly recommend it.

Peace prescriptions...cutting edge

Your conflict analysis and peace prescriptions in areas of incipient violence are, I think, "cutting-edge" work in war prevention. I think you and Johan Galtung point the way in this necessary advance. Also you bring to me lots of interesting and useful articles on peace issues. I don't manage to read all of them, but am always glad when I do.

You really try to reach out and do a lot with small money...

I think TFF is great because you really do reach out and try to get attention for the peace message in the world at large. I think you do a lot with a small amount of money.

Richard Bass

 

Useful for education...

Our contribution is small compared with the fantatic PressInfos we get. We use them in our classes and spread them elsewhere. .

Rex Schade

 

I save time using TFF...

I haven't got time to chase up all the news and views about the things that matter in the world. What I need is analysis based on values that I support and which I can access quickly and easily. TFF provides that for me.

Philip White

 

Fresh way of looking at things...not like the others...

I have been looking for a fresh way to see things. Your site hit me at the right time. Your approach was not tied to one point of view. I scan different sites and after a while I see "where they come from" But not yours. I just felt I wanted to express myself and reach out in some small way.

Independent thoughts so much needed now...

In a world in which information is manipulated, independent thought is increasingly precious, I find TFF's newsletters and perspectives constantly refreshing and exciting to read. I often forward them to others. I think it would be a tragedy if TFF were unable to continue its work due to lack of funds. That's why I decided to add my personal support to this great cause.

You expose the real dangers after September 11...

We believe that a legitimate response to 9-11 has become an excuse to justify imperialist activity throughout the world by the US. This is a threat to our future as a democracy as well as a danger to others. We appreciate TFF for exposing these dangers and the true reasons behind them.

Countering official lies and furthering debate...

Discussion has declined. Self interest - often short term and couched as propaganda, not informing - has increased. Leaders can again lie to their people and be almost assured of getting away with it. The media is the major source of information for the people. Your attempts to provide more considered and factual analysis seem to me important in such a context.

The present situation...

We desperately need the voice of TFF in the world right now.

Alice Sather

 

Clear-sighted, calm, dedicated, move from the heart...

It seems increasingly rare to find on-the-ground voices who are clear-sighted, calm, and willing to dedicate themselves to doing what is within their capability, knowing that resources are limited.  At the Peace Conference at which I met Jan, his was the only presentation which moved from the heart, contactful, personable and with humor in view of such grand-scale affront to humanity.  For my sixtieth birthday, I invited my friends to sign up for the TFF newsletter and to give in the way I wished I could.

Voice of sanity...and by donating I can DO something...

TFF is a voice of sanity, reason and hope in a (western) world that is increasingly acquiescent to the insanity, unreason and doom being propagated by the current régime in the US. I am proud to be able to play a small part in its continued, much needed, existence.

David Lubell

 

TFF has been a free gift to me...we must come together...

Like many others, I have been meaning to send a donation to TFF for many months. I have been enriched by their free gifts to me. Peace depends on us working together and sharing resources.

Bob Forsberg

 

You're on the ground. Valuable source of ideas. You feature good works by others

I appreciate your efforts to do on-the-ground conflict analyses. I find your 'prescriptions' for helpful intervention valuable sources of ideas. Your own articles are thoughtful and informed resource material for me. Your selection of work from others is well chosen. I want you to be able to keep doing what you do so well.

The peace movement is more significant than ever to Europe...

The value and meaning of the peace movement is more significant than ever to Europe at this particular time in its history. Not only does it stand against an illegal and unjust war against an unfortunate people, but equally importantly it stands for the enforcement of international law trampled by the hyper power and also it reveals those who want Europe to emerge as a new political autonomous entity concerned by the stability and welfare of the whole planet and humankind.

Francois Ettori

 

We live in dangerous times...your Iraq information

In my opinion TFF`s work for peace and peaceful solutions is very valuable, particularly in these very dangerous times. TFF deserves my donation - also in the future! It is much more constructive and sustainable to sit down and negotiate than send bombers to kill people! Simply, it is encouraging to know that TFF exists. I am thankful for all your information on different issues, lately especially on Iraq.

Riitta Heinonen

 

TFF has the guts to keep on working for alternatives and civilian conflict-resolution...

Since the 1980th, I have admired your knowledge and guts to work for alternatives and civilian conflict-resolution. I have been a member of TFF ever since. The information I receive from TFF is crucial for keeping updated of what is happing around the world,  who is writing what, projects going on, reports from travels and all the alternative information that you two are giving us.

NATO School student supports TFF's ideas

The reason I want to support TFF is because I had a wonderful opportunity last week to listen to Dr. Oberg at NATO School and I am totally agree with his ideas about peace and conflicts. Congratulations, Dr. Oberg and TFF !

For a Culture of Peace

I must thank you for your work, spreading a culture of peace and above all for your PressInfos and for your truinto UN in spite of everything. Your PressInfos open our eyes to see the reality. They are a source of alternative information for the people of peace! We need it!

Giacinto Figini, Italy

 

Alternative perspektiver jeg ikke får andre steder

TFF betyder for mig, at jeg får reelle oplysninger om verdens brændpunkter - oplysninger, som jeg ikke selv ville kunne finde andre steder, og som afbalancerer de oplysninger, som jeg får gennem aviser og TV normalt.  Som kvæker har jeg  i mange år arbejdet for fred og ikke-voldelig konfliktløsning. TFF giver mig en basis for at dele vigtige oplysninger om krig og fred med andre og selv følge med.
