On February 17, 2024, two days before today's planned conversation with Antonio Rosa, editor of TRANSCEND Media Service, Johan Galtung, Norwegian peace researcher, mediator, co-founder of the international TRANSCEND Network for Peaceful Conflict Transformation and TRANSCEND Media Service, passed away at age 93.
Our program includes tributes to Galtung and his legacy. Antonio Rosa, who resides in Portugal, talks about the role Galtung, his close friend, colleague and mentor, played in his own transition from overcoming trauma and addiction in his native Brazil to devoting his energy to peace journalism and analyzing the worlds most intractable problems in a solutions-oriented way. He shares valuable insights into how he integrates material, intellectual and spiritual inputs, in addition to what has driven him to continually speak out and take a stand for peace, justice and the well-being of humanity, in spite of the risks often involved in doing so.

Ian has a lifelong commitment to engagement, involvement and analysis of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. His latest book on the topic is Paradigm Lost – From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality. After a long-time commitment to the two-state solution he came to see that it had been intentionally undermined. Dr. Lustick went into depth about the origins of Hamas and how Israel had supported Hamas in order to oppose the Palestinian Liberation Organization and thus impede the implementation of the two-state solution which would have given the Palestinians their own state. He also told us about heightened tensions and emotions on the University of Pennsylvania campus occurring because of the current horrific conflict and how this led to the recent resignation of the college president.
Dr. Ian S. Lustick holds the Bess W. Heyman Chair in the Political Science Department of the University of Pennsylvania. He teaches Middle Eastern politics, comparative politics, and computer modeling. He is a recipient of awards from the Carnegie Corporation, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Social Sciences Research Council. He is a past president of the Politics and History Section of the American Political Science Association and of the Association for Israel Studies, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

The New View with Joachim Hagopian
Hear Joachim Hagopian, Westpoint graduate, former military officer and child welfare psychologist turned independent journalist in this deep and wide-ranging conversation with New View team members Alanna Hartzok, Diane Perlman, Carol Brouillet and Marilyn Langlois.
“We had the largest middle class in the world but we fell asleep at the wheel,” says Hagopian. “Now what we are up against is no less than the genocide of the human race.” He takes us back to the origins of the global cabal with the “divide and rule” strategy of the Roman Empire and even thousands of years before then. “Infiltration is also their thing,” he says, noting that most governments, media and our major institutions are under their control. Stand up to these psychopaths and they “take out the threats” says Hagopian, mentioning the three African presidents who “died” when they refused the covid vaccines for their countries and the forty journalists recently killed in Gaza.
Hagopian has gone down many rabbit holes and his hundreds of published articles describe what he has discovered as he precisely connects the dots between the pandemic, geopolitics, war for profit, false flags, and the worldwide child sex trafficking networks with money laundered through the major banks. Hagopian’s deep research over a four-year period produced five books that fully document and expose the global pedophilia scourge. You can read them for free at https://pedoempire.org/contents/.
The way forward for humanity: Unify, Demystify, Mobilize, Decentralize – become independent in our own communities. We plan to discuss more solution details in a future New View conversation with Joachim Hagopian.
You can read many of Hagopian’s articles here: https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/hagopian
This is his current bio:
Joachim Hagopian is a West Point graduate, former Army officer and author of “Don’t Let the Bastards Getcha Down,” exposing a faulty US military leadership system based on ticket punching up the seniority ladder, invariably weeding out the best and brightest, leaving mediocrity and order followers rising to the top as politician-bureaucrat generals designated to lose every modern US war by elite design. After the military, Joachim earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and worked as a licensed therapist in the mental health field with abused youth and adolescents for more than a quarter century. In Los Angeles he found himself battling the largest county child protective services in the nation within America’s thoroughly broken and corrupt child welfare system.
The experience in both the military and child welfare system prepared him well as a researcher and independent journalist, exposing the evils of Big Pharma and how the Rockefeller controlled medical and psychiatric system inflict more harm than good, case in point, the pandemic hoax and kill shot genocide. As an independent journalist for the last decade, Joachim has written hundreds of articles for many news sites, including Global Research, lewrockwell.com and currently https://jamesfetzer.org/ and https://thegovernmentrag.com. As a published author of a 5-book volume series entitled Pedophilia & Empire: Satan, Sodomy & the Deep State, Joachim’s books and chapters are Amazon bestsellers in child advocacy and human rights categories. His A-Z sourcebook series fully document and expose the global pedophilia scourge and remain available free at https://pedoempire.org/contents/. Joachim also hosts the weekly Revolution Radio broadcast “Cabal Empire Exposed” on Friday morning at 7AM EST (ID: revradio, password: rocks!).

Internal Colonialism, Land Maps and Land Value Taxation
A functional democracy needs truth in order to fulfill the promises of a just and fair society. A fundamental truth necessary to understand how to reverse the play of power that has led us to gross wealth inequality and the near demise of democracy is to know who owns what land where (and the assessed value) in our neighborhoods, towns and cities. Transparent and detailed digital land maps give us this important information, tell us who pays what property taxes, and can model tax reform approaches that will keep our wealth in our communities.
In this video Joshua Vincent, Director of the Center for the Study of Economics, presents land value maps of the City of Baltimore to an executive meeting of the International Union for Land Value Taxation attended by people from Ireland, UK, Germany, India, the Philippines, Nigeria, Costa Rica, Canada, Australia and the US. The presentation impressed everyone with the power and potential of this information technology to build movements for what I call “earth rights democracy” – a new form of democracy based on the equal right by birth to the earth’s land and natural resources. Land mapping gives exact and specific details of how land rent – the unearned income from land – currently flows out of low-income and impoverished areas where much of the land is owned by absentees and speculators and into the pockets of those who live in high income areas or to private corporations.
The land value maps that Josh presented show in precise and stark detail the workings of a predatory economic system that can be viewed as “internal colonialism” and understood as a root cause of gross wealth inequality. This technology also easily enables us to determine what areas and which people would pay more or less when the tax base is shifted OFF OF housing and other buildings, wage income and small business and ONTO the wealth extracting and privileged absentees and speculators.
We can recover democracy and create a healthy society of fair wealth distribution by using the information of land value maps to build movements for earth rights democracy right where we live. As we restore our neighborhoods, towns and cities with the shift to land value taxation, which stops the predation and exploitation and keeps the wealth in our communities, we can work on regional and even global levels to claim the commons rent of natural resources, water, the oceans, the electromagnetic spectrum and the overall environment in order to build a world that works for everyone based on the perennial truth that The Earth Belongs to Everyone.
You can join our worldwide movements for land value tax implementation at Common Ground USA, (https://commonground-usa.net), the International Union for Land Value Taxation https://theiu.org, and for our Baltimore Thrive effort contact Vanessa Beck here: BaltimoreThriveVanessa@gmail.com
Strong Towns https://www.strongtowns.org is also actively promoting land value tax throughout the US. The mayor of Detroit and the governor of Michigan are advocates for implementation. There are several articles you can find on the internet about Detroit’s movement for land value taxation.

Liz Gould & Paul Fitzgerald interviewed by Alanna Hartzok
Liz Gould and Paul Fitzgerald talk about high points and eureka moments in their lifelong journey through the depths of mystical imperialism to their discovery of the importance of the work of political-economist Henry George and sacred rule economics. Interviewed by Alanna Hartzok, author of The Open Letter to King Charles III - An Earth Rights Manifesto. For more see valediction.net and theIU.org
Statement from Liz Gould: Since Americans believe that any step towards socialism will end private property leading to the hated communist collectivism, the “left” could not build a strong following among its most important constituent, the working class. Today many still reject government run social services, even Medicare for all. In addition, if you tried to promote Marx/Lenin economic solutions, it was often claimed you were run by Moscow. When I encountered Georgist economics I was impressed with the huge popularity it had in the 19th century. I was even more impressed that it was still solving problems around the world today. When I realized Georgist Economics did not tinker with private property ownership I knew Henry George came up with the perfect solution for Americans. Knowing these solutions could create an economy that works for everyone-by not taxing earned income while making sure huge land owners would pay their true share of value through the land tax on their unearned income-was the"eureka."

Kristen describes her personal journey of discovering why the current "debt money" system is dysfunctional and cannot create a world of peace and abundance. She then goes on to explain why it's easy to solve problems of scarcity and suffering simply by changing the design of money. Kristen's core message is that the more of us who understand the true nature of the problem and roots of the solution, the faster we will manifest the solution - a massive impact that will be felt around the world.
Participating with Kristen in this week's Episode of The New View are: Ellen Brown, Alanna Hartzok, Diane Perlman, Carol Brouillet, Marilyn Langlois, Ginger Metraux and Norie Huddle, who facilitated this conversation.

The New View Discovers Co-Op Lab, Market Space with Peter Forrest
An exploration of the work of Peter Forrest to transition from the failing economic model to a decentralized, bottom-up alternative. We meet with Peter for the first time to begin to learn about who he is, his vision, and his models for building and reclaiming communities at the grassroots level. Although he lives in Liverpool, the UK, he hopes that others will see the potential of his model to create a network of cooperative community hubs worldwide. Peter describes his vision to enable hope-in-action as a driver for a co-operative living infrastructure; where people connect and collaborate as local co-owner-producer-consumers to evolve a unique 'Market-Space'.
As we are in the midst of an enormous economic transition with the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies looming; we are hungry to develop prototypes which can help us survive whatever comes, as well as help us transition to where we hope to go. Alanna's powerful land reform vision and Ellen Brown's insight into creating public banks add to the lively opening discussion with Peter Forrest, which opens up more dimensions to the possibilities of debt-free currencies that promote Life, Learning, and Local Empowerment.

The New View with John Klyczek
John Klyczek, author of School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education contacted The New View after we had critiqued and discussed his article titled Barbara Marx Hubbard: Godmother of Transhumanism and Synthetic Spirituality, when he published Part 2 of his investigative series, Barbara Malthusian Hubbard: From Limits to Growth to UN Agenda 2030.
This New View is our deep discussion with John about Barbara Marx Hubbard and other people and entities mentioned in his articles. We found that we all agreed on our objections to Transhumanism, the push towards a World Economic Forum dominated "Great Reset," and the current war on humanity. We also shared some of our hopes, and efforts towards a better future.
We concluded that Barbara had her blind spots and failed to recognize the shadow side. She was a visionary who focused on the positive, the good and the promise of an enlightened civilization. She did not see or address the damage done by the "dark side" - the “wetiko” separative, predatorial, dominator consciousness - although she was surrounded by it.
We concluded that although the Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology / Human Potential movements were and still are very positive and important, none of the early leaders deeply considered or addressed the reality that a great many physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health problems (and even root causes of war) relate to gross wealth inequality, human and planetary exploitation and other forms of economic and societal injustice. Perhaps our discussion with John can begin to open doors for this greatly needed conversation.

NewView THE PSYCHOLOGY OF VERIDOS - Dr. Diane Perlman
The Psychology of Veridos™ (Seekers of Truth and Justice) - A Study of Moral Heroism of the 5% or less.
A courageous vocal minority has arisen in the face of relentless opposition, demonization, censorship and punishment to challenge the official Covid narrative, to speak out and work for truth, justice, health and freedom. Many have asked about the psychology of the 5% of people. Diane Perlman did research on the late 1990s, also curious about people who take great personal risks for truth and justice, inspired by Daniel Ellsberg, a prominent among whistleblowers, who risked life in prison to expose the Pentagon Papers, exposing government lies and putting young soldiers in harm’s way, trying to end the unwinnable Viet Name war.
She discovered that acts of courage were not the result of a rational, cognitive, deliberative process but more like an inability to hold untruths in one’s body and soul. She coined the term “Verido”, to mean an instinctual drive for truth and justice, like “libido” the instinctual energy and drive for sex.
Perlman synthesized her findings from interviews, drawing upon psychological theories regarding family of origin, family systems theory, depth psychology, Jung, intersubjective psychoanalytic theory, gender perspectives, childrearing practices, childhood heroes, political awakening, formative life experience, Jungian psychological type, psychological development and maturity.
She came to the conclusion that “The Courageous Personality” is the psychological opposite of the Authoritarian Personality.

War Peace and Commons Rent
War, Peace and Commons Rent –Presenters from the UK, Philippines, and the US explore the connection between war and the forceful taking of natural resources and/or the private appropriation of land rent combined with the legal plunder of private banking systems. Policy solutions include "commons rent" public finance giving fair share rights to earth and Public Banks.
Presenters’ Topics:
Alanna Hartzok – The “Four Charts” narrative shows the root injustice built into the current economic paradigm that led to the appropriation of great wealth by an elite few. This has created the military-industrial-financial complex and an imperialist US foreign policy. The way forward to “earth rights democracy” recovers the “commons rent” for the benefit of all.
Charles Avila - The Philippine case highlights Invaders and Resisters and the imperial wars that never really end, at incalculable costs. Christianizing, civilizing, genociding: what could be more instructive than the case of the Philippines? Is there a Judeo-Christian prophetic voice for the economics of peace?" Charles Avila
Fred Harrison – There will be a convergence of four existential crises in 2028 that will generate global conflict on a scale never before experienced by human kind. To navigate through the threat to humanity, a new narrative is needed. Nations would be united by understanding the unique qualities of Commons Rent which contains the secret to conflict resolution and sustainable peace.
Speaker Bios:
Charles Avila is the author of the now classic book Ownership: Early Christian Teachings, former mayor Tanauan Leyte in the Philippines, and Executive Director of the Confederation of National Coconut Farmers’ Organizations, He has served as Consultant of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, Secretary-General of the 18-nation Asian Cultural Forum on Development, a Research Fellow at the Centro Intercultural de Documentacion in Mexico, at the Institute for Food and Development Policy in San Francisco, and Deputy Secretary General of the Philippine Congress of Agrarian and Industrial Workers.
Fred Harrison is Research Director of the London-based Land Research Trust and author of As Evil Does: Anatomy of a Killing Cult, The Predator Culture, The Traumatized Society and several other books. Harrison has been very active in the UK media, with dozens of newspaper and magazine articles, and many TV and radio. With the fall of the USSR, Harrison took an opportunity to work with the Russian government[4] in developing economic policy. He spent 10 years in Russia advising their Federal Parliament (Duma) and local authorities on property tax reform. He organized the Duma's Land Policy Congress and conducted several hearings and studies commissioned by a wide range of Russian authorities. “Western ("neo-liberal") culture has been shaped by rent-seeking to deliver sub-optimum outcomes through tax policies that have the permanent effect of mal-distributing wealth and power,” says Harrison.
Alanna Hartzok is an educator, activist, and lecturer in the areas of economic justice, land rights, and commons rent public finance. Her book The Earth Belongs to Everyone received the Radical Middle Book Award. Is a recipient of the International Earth Day Award. A candidate for Congress for the Green Party (2001) and the Democratic Party (2014) she initiated a tax reform bill for the state of Pennsylvania that passed with a nearly unanimous vote (all yes, except for one abstention.)
