Marianne Williamson Department of Peace Interview

[lucky4cool]

i think this is a great idea and she should use the song "Where is the love" by the black eyed peas

it is a really great song and it makes you think why do we need war to solve a problem, why do we have to kill people to do something

i hope that there will be a department of peace, it will help every country not just the United States

[jetetarro]

Department of Peace..would be a great idea to foster peace in communities, states, and internationally. It would certainly provide a great counterforce to the "chicken hawks."

[philippematthews]

What would the world be like if Marianne Williamson did not bring out ACIM - A Course In Miracles? She truly is a gift to the planet and a gift of change. I’m also happy to know that she is back on TV with Oprah.

[SynergyBeads]

It can be done by shifting funds that are already allocated for outdated technology that the military doesn't even want. Before a department can be created, we all need to work within to become agents for change. I wear my Peace Synergy Bracelet to remind me of that everyday.

[DrJeanine]

marianne is so wonderful!!

[kerouac818]

Expanding government to include a department of Peace requires raising additional taxes so corrupt politicians can appoint their friends and contributors to high paid positions.

Freedom and peace can never come through group or political action.

The government is an inefficient, bureaucratic mess. It's programs always turn out to cost more than expected.

The effort to change others never works.

[lucky4cool]

@kerouac818 it might and you never know what can happen

Your a wonderful and beautiful person Marianne, the world needs more people like you

[HamsterFueledRocket]

MinPeace for short

[bonjourdadou]

I don't think we will ever have peace in this world until it somehow becomes more profitable than war.

[rogkeista]

She is a driven ectomorph and quite insufferable.

[davewoodring]

She is a cancer sun, and gemini rising, she can talk for hours. Went and seen her, she didn't get tired at all.

[Chickadee247356]

God is the only thing that will change the world if we give HIM the chance to help us

[358Liberty]

Libertarians are righ this would a disaster. A gov authority is going to tell me to be peaceful? How about getting rid of government that would make things peaceful-type in anarcho-capitalism libertarianism

[winlaren23]

I love watching Marrianne's video, but I have learned to stay clear of the comments. There are some really stupid people that have computers.

[untomatchi]

this is powerful stuff!

[givebirthathome]

Yes, but with so much of the economy build on arms sales...they aren't going to want an "institutional structure" whose job would be to expose them. Another cause of war is the economic system as a whole..

Peace Department might do some good, but its hard to think of them not getting corrupted, like the FDA...and actually turning into a force for war..I mean think of the UN..what wars have they stopped? They authorized the use of force in Iraq! Did they stop E. Timor? etc. etc.

[Suriya3]

Curious about some of these comments - calling this lies and blasphemous - I think it must be people trying to be funny - She is saying that the department of peace is to "Facilitate, research and articulate, what are the best practices & techniques to proactively cutlvate the conditions for peace" - What is so deceitful about this?

[writechick22]

God bless you, Marianne. In a world ruled by fear, a simple plan for peace. How sad that spiritual persecution still exists.

[Lulu4Him]

This lady makes good sense! Maybe she should have run for president, I BET SHE HAS A LEGAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT SHE WOULD BE GLAD TO SHOW!!

[CLeoTorris]

ANTICHRIST movement. They will outlaw Jesus

[thedrummer77]

All we need now is first of all a Department of Joy, which will create theme parks in regions like Somalia, Afghanistan, etc in order to "develop a joyful spirit" there.

Then, The Department of Love, where people will work naked in the office to facilitate their job.

So ther you have it: Peace, Joy, and Love Departments!

[batman24769]

sick....sick....sick

[marinafilms]

as idealistic as it is, though, the cynic in me really doesn't see this working out in the way she intends it to. but wow, people, attacking others for coming up with ideas in search of ways to save lives is totally counterproductive. peace is never a bad aim

[marinafilms]

what is with all of these crazy comments? what is so horrible about a woman suggesting that we work towards peace?

"One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." ALBERT EINSTEIN

[amessageofhope]

.. especially if you receive the Mark (Six Hundred 3 score 6) and once that happens , that's it you cannot be saved =(

God we have to Help these poor people!!!

We have to Stop this but how?

and if Not then we have to Save them from this GREAT deception!

we have to fight for our Souls!!

[OcultOprah]

amessageofhope! did you get BANNED after your "comment"? I was a fool for this women a long time ago and then listened to the YouTube video: Marianne Williamson Movie One...........and realized this is a demon possed fraud-god. Filled with only soul stealing and evil. See her ultimate plan in the YouTube video: Maitreya - 1/3 Antichrist - Prototype or Hoax! Beware!......these New Age cults mean to try to destroy all churches and Christians and Jews. That is not peace. And they are Satanic liars.

[amessageofhope]

No i just could not post for some time afterwards? But i eventually sorted it out..

I got a hold of a Rep here on YouTube, and well it worked i gues!

So you were part of this? or you just fell for her deception? I do know that their master plan is to sowly but surely Destroy the churches from within, and get 'Rid' of Christianity once and for all..

Of course their plan might have a hitch, because they may not count on a "Rapture" happening before that!

God Bless you and PM me if you like!

[amessageofhope]

There is but One True Religion and that is Christianity! Jesus Christ IS lord and Savior none other,

it's proven time and time again, and now We Gentiles shall be martyred all in the name of P.E.A.C.E!

Sick.

I cannot believe you people will allow this!, and you will fall so easily into the Grasp of Satans Clutches, when you do there's very little hope of seeing the Truth..

[vasiliosrigos]

We already have our Prince of Peace dept.The leaders name Jesus Christ.

love peace wisdom faith

A humble servant for the Lord Jesus

[OcultOprah]

vasiliosrigos! did you get the hook? a day after you posted a Message of Truth about Holy God? And who the REAL Prince of Peace is? Listen to this liar OUTED on the YouTube video: The Gospel According To Oprah's Friends..............and .....Church Of Oprah #1.........and also #2, and #3..............listen and learn and tells others about the New Age cults and their ultimate agenda = same as the #3rd Reich! Hail Satan! and she named her demon= jesus? how blashphemous and truly EVIL

[pullybrit]

People, dont take this seriously! It's really Tina Fey of SNL trying to pull our legs!

[NoGuff]

A Communist tactic:

Replace the religious beliefs of the masses with a secular belief system.

This will break the traditional ties the People have with their religion more and more with each successive generation.

[memama2]

~~here we have the worlds newest FALSE demon channeling "christ' telling her LIES and stealing souls~~~see her OUTED in the newest YouTube videos~~~~The Gospel According To Oprah's Friends~~~and also ~~~Church Of Oprah #1, ~~#2,~~#3,~~~and #4~~all four tell the story of these witches and demons denegrating God's words and taking their own~~theological ramblings~~from Satans sons and selling them to the ignorant and gullible~~watch the videos and see THE TRUTH of these evil cults~~~

[cliffd2276]

We already have four departments of peace! The United States Marine Corps, The United States Navy, The United States Army, and The United States Air Force.

[cliffd2276]

We already have four departments of peace! The United States Marine Corps, The United States Navy, The United States Army, and The United States Air Force. Who wants peace more than these men & women and their families? After all it is these men & women who are on the losing end of war.

[Lockdown42]

I dunno, whats that saying about fighting for peace is a bit like having sex for virginity?

We fight maybe for self defense, so these departments are then aptly named under the Department of Defence, but are they not sometimes misused as an offensive force too? If so, that is then the antithesis of seeking peace...

[shofar60]

As it is written, many will be misled by people like Marianne who appear to preach peace. Man made peace is fickle at best and cant really last. The Oprahs and Mariannes of the world will be used by the powers of darkness to mislead even the elect if possible They will even appear to some misguided souls as divinity. When the time comes, not in the distant future, there will be cries to worship the antichrist and only those bearing his mark will be able to buy and sell.

[DeistReality]

shofar60

Keep going to your one book of dreams and revelations from people who never wrote these dreams down themselves. This idea of Marianne's will work because there's a growing group of people who have a reality in God that will back it up. Even a great idea as this one has to be tainted by people like you who are trapped in a fog of faith.

Use that faith as just a steppingstone towards the reality of Deism. Do it today. You'll be glad that you did.

Remember that book belongs to all.

[dvining40us]

Your an infidel and an idiot plan and simple. And speak nothing but hypocrisy and heresy! Do us all a favor and move on with this crap, because we ain't buying it.

[planetery]

Great idea, Marianne!

How do you propose to accomplish it?

[DeistReality]

planetery

We will be doing it one true Deist at a time.

[planetery]

Ummm, okay.

So where do hippie douchebags like this little illuminated wench fit in?

[DeistReality]

planetery

What has this girl done to deserve such name calling?

Marianne is the best example of a true Deist's IMO. She loves God,and all that God has created,and she knows to look towards God's works for insight. Make know mistake about it she is a Deist,and her reality is Deism. She doesn't have to call herself one because you can't help what you are.

planetery come over to my channel,and lets find God together. You will learn the reality of Deism there,and you will be blessed. Promise:)

[vikingjustice15]

And you need to go and get an MRI for your soul, to check if it's still there, but if not I can tell u where to find it? IN HELL

[shofar60]

New Agers illusionists have little knowledge of Yahveh's word. Eventually all the man made world leader that will destroy whoever opposes him.

[planetery]

Shfar60 have little knowledge of English word.

[DeistReality]

shofar60

Not "new age" my friend. It may give you comfort to call it that,but your wrong, this is Deism (God). The first religion of man that ever existed,and it will be the last. It will because it's a reality that is true.

God is real. It doesn't require faith to know that because the Creation is the proof. The Creation is also the true Deist's holy text. This is good stuff Mariannes saying here,but your faith has clouded your mind. Thankfully there's a cure for you and your like. Deism

[planetery]

"your faith has clouded your mind:"

So says the guy talking all the 'Deist' jive. If you were really what the definition of Deism describes, you wouldn't call yourself anything....

[owl4man]

Peace prosper people planet presence.

[libertyeconomics]

Creating yet another Orwellian government department is not the answer. Does the Department of Homeland Security give us real security? No. The entire purpose of security is to secure liberty. Does the Department of Justice really provide justice? No. It covers up government crimes, while going after non-criminals. We don't need another government department to enrich more political appointees. We need to END THE WARS THE U.S. is bogged down in. That will give us peace.

[Blendre]

great idea

[trishferguson]

It is amazing how critical people are in this country. She along with many other people, including Dennis Kucinich, want to make our country a better place. Too many people focus on violence, including right here in this forum!

[TuxLady]

Yep! That's what we need, another government agency. Maybe if our government schools weren't failing miserably, our kids would know how to behave.

[bvb720]

Join the peace corp and get the hell out of America. What a Nut!

[mfrantom]

Um OK. Does she think our Cabinet sits around trying to find out how to go to war? We need to get another viewpoint in there? Hey lady, quit trying to make our government bigger!OOOHHHH she just said a Peace Academy!! HAHAHA!!! This is to counteract our military academys. Thats great! Ahhh that piano in the background makes me think of money falling from the sky. I guess that is how she expects this peace crap to be funded.

[Matttolstoy]

It's not a matter of new money that will suddenly appear. It's about pouring less of our resources into defense and putting more into peace-building.

The US government spends approximately 4% of the GPD every year on defense. That's 572 billion dollars. Saying that we can't fund a Peace Academy by taking a small percent from 572 billion dollar resource is more ridiculous than what Marianne is saying.

[againsttheherd]

What the Department of Peace will do is give a more sophisticated way for the government to waste our money.

What are they going to do? Ask Iran to "Pretty please, stop chanting 'death to America'" and stuff roses in their automatic weapons?

[computerpurple]

She is one of those new age guru. What she is trying to sell is pacifist out look that WILL get us killed. Her out look is not based in reality. Those in this world that want to cut our heads off will not respond to this kind of "Give peace a chance , kumbaya , Imagine all the people blah blah blah. No matter all the good intentions.

[carolineislands]

This person is another one of Oprah's flavor of the month gurus. She's the "course in miracles" New Age flake that Oprah was convinced had found the answers to life a couple of years ago - somewhere between Dr. Phil and Eckhart Tolle.

Department of Peace, run by New Age gurus - can you imagine the tax dollars spent for all those wire hangers and tin foil?

[pngcrdss]

The peacekeepers will inherit the earth.

[OnenessNow]

Thank you Marianne Williamson for the courage

to stand for the creation of PEACE and HARMONY.

[bloddymurrayb]

wow

[chicosounds]

WE also have the right to talk about Jesus and warn people of these subtle promises that sound good to deceive people.Many will fall into this and will be surprised whats behind it.Follow Jesus teachings faithfully his peace is not like the fictitious peace this world offers.

[statekid]

I have no idea what a peace alliance is about, but I am immediately skeptical

[Sheisqueen000]

Marianne Williamson is more than great! She is a divinity...

[DeistReality]

So are you:)

[iStageMom]

Oh, you humans. Isn't it possible that she is stating good things for those millions unable to take a strict path to a knowledge of Jesus Christ? She was Jewish, so to recognize the voice & calling of Christ was a huge leap of faith for her. We all find our own truth. She is at least introducing many who were in utter darkness to the possibility of a Savior. Christianity has diverted far from the gospel of Jesus Christ in 2008 years. In the end, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess...

[DeistReality]

iStageMom

Just calling a book an inspired book from God doesn't make it an inspired book from God. An inspired book from God has to inspire you the individual to get closer to God. Marianne Williamson comes top on my list these days of inspired books from God. The faith of our ancestors worked for them it seems,but for me I choose the reality of God,and the undeniable true salvation that is found in the Creation. Ever read Life now there's another inspired book from God for me,you may disagree.

[1hidden]

Are you trying to argue? I agree with you.

[dvining40us]

You are a blasphemous liar, and an heretic. And not worthy to be called a child of the Most High God! Stop with your lies of deceit. For we as the children of God know better, go spread that crap somewhere else, with someone who might fall for your lies!

[obamaunderground]

A Course In Miracles is an evil and deceptive book. The Church of Oprah along with Marianne Williamson are leading million of New Age brainwashed victims down the path to hell.

WAKE UP!!! The Bible tells you that many false gods and false prophets will come to DECEIVE you and make you believe they are from the REAL God, but they are not. This is Satans deception. DON'T BE FOOLED!

[stevem1264]

Please stop copying and pasting this same, silly quote everywhere. You're actually pushing people away from your Christianity with this out-there comment.

Sorry if I sound harsh; I don't mean to. Take care of yourself.

-Steve

[hmngbrd]

Marianne for President!

[Bericcus]

She is an excellent speaker--pretty much like Mrs Koolbreeze (my lovely wife). I have always been attracted to excellent women speakers.

It is sad that she is NOT using her God given talents to advance the Kingdom of God.

Christians, don't be deceived by this woman and her cohorts.

Any way that is not Jesus Christ leads downward. He closed ALL other doors when He proclaimed "I am the DOOR."

[christisreal]

Amen Sister/brother!

[aurorawd357]

A wide spread phenomenon I have noticed in almost every realm public expression, in blogs and on YouTube, is that when there are people posting comments claiming to speak for "Christianity" or "Jesus", their words are usually filled with hatefullness, anger, fear, negativity and ugliness. And usually they are attacking, lashing out at someone or something. See below for examples. Why is that?

Marianne Williamson works for PEACE, Love and Compassion. Just as Jesus did. That is Truth.

[melzie6]

thank you marianne what the world needs now is love sweet love.thank you for your persistent prayers.let the light stream in and light up all darkened places. this world needs people like you as an antidote for the insanity. god bless you.helen maxwell australia

[litwkr]

Marianne's actions have the purest of intentions. She has a large following of people in The Peace Alliance movement, and we will see the change happen that we want. We will "be the bill" and it will manifest. Those that doubt will just have to reap the benefits of our efforts. Your welcome.

[christisreal]

"She has a large following of people..." So what..so what so does Islam..Illuminati..and final the Antichrist when it comes. And if you keep following this bologna, no matter how thin you slice it, you too will be deceived. Only Jesus can bring whole peace.He's coming......are you ready?

[jimw1301]

Oh. Wow. That's heavy. What if they held a war, man, and nobody came?

[lyricalmaiden]

This sounds like the peace and love themes of the good ole' hippy days. We saw how far we got with that --- most everyone settled back into the establishment. The more she can get people to buy into all this 'new age' crap, the richer she and her people get at your expense. She's all about herself (she'll want to be appointed to the cabinet position), just like the televangelists (false prophets) and making a s**tload of money off people's ignorance. She's just packaging it differently.

[rockgrandioso]

I don't wish to challenge your skepticism but I would like to suggest that your accusations are self-created and don't inherently exist in what this woman has to say.

If you ignore your feelings of doubt, do you think that she is creating a valid and reasonable idea?

Violence arises out of conditions and not out of thin air. In the same way Peace requires conditions. She is suggesting a government-based organization that helps to cultivate those peace-yielding conditions.

[christisreal]

She's looking for what eveyone in the world is looking for....."POWER" Take the blinds off.

[lblinc]

Im afraid that until Washington rids itself of the lobbyists, underhanded dealings or secret agendas, and nepotism at these top levels, we're in for more of the same moving forward..

[lblinc]

This is the right idea for a platform, just tricky to implement it. If anyone has read the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman".. it basically explains why the US has gone to war over the past 40 years.

With such greedy, self-serving and corruptable political leaders in the top levels of US gov't.. i'm afraid this peace platform would have a tough go of it.

[JMotorCity]

World War II (stopping that horrible genocide is an example of governments getting involved in a moral issue and it worked)

S/CHIP

The Civil Rights Act

Hate Crime Legislation

There are four examples off the top of my head.

[staciepaul]

We didn't go to war because of the genocide. We were pulled into the war after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan. We were defending our nation. After Dday when over 5000 American soldiers were killed you and your Peace crew would have been calling for a full withdrawal. Leaving Hitler's death camps open for business.

[JMotorCity]

So you are a bigot and homophobe because you apparently see no need for hate crime legislation. If the current laws were effective in this regard, we would not need it. But they are not effective. So we do.

And S/CHIP? Could be better, could be more efficient, and WE SHOULD BE COVERING MORE KIDS. PERIOD. This is a MORAL issue. It is interesting to me how moral issues for many evangelicals only seem to matter before birth and in traditional marriage.

[staciepaul]

well I was enjoying the spirited discussion but just because I disagree with you on legislation and the role of government doesn't make me a bigot and homophobe. I am sorry to see you stoop to such a debating technique. I was enjoying this discussion. This is exactly what is wrong with discussing such things today. As a fellow follower of Christ I want you to know that we will be together in paradise one day. I look forward to that. Best regards, Paul

[JMotorCity]

I apologize for making assumptions. I shouldn't have done that.

And you are right, this is getting us no where. God Bless you too.

Let's agree we disagree. And let's both move forward.

PEACE!

[staciepaul]

God bless you too. These are very emotionally charged issue. I appreciate your passion and enjoyed the postings. I think our common ground is found in our faith. Through prayer all things are possible and it is in our prayer life that you and I are the closest of allies.

PEACE, I second that!

[staciepaul]

S/CHIP Efficient that's a good one.

Hate Crime Legislation Making something that is illegal more illegal based on the color of your skin. Treating people different under the law based on there skin color is a great way to spur on racism not eliminate it. The law should be blind to race.

[staciepaul]

If you are going to be a champion for peace you need to understand why nations go to war. If your going to take money from my family budget that could be used to send my kids to college or care for my ageing parents you should learn why we have gone to war in the past.

[JMotorCity]

Nothing will be "cheapened" when a war is prevented, or violence in a school is prevented.

I think it is great that you want to work on one person at a time in this world of billions. Have at it, I'm sure you will do a great job. But while you are busy trying to win one heart for Jesus at a time, the rest of us will be working together in an intelligent fashion to find ways to combat violence and war- domestically and internationally.

[JMotorCity]

Personally, I think you are taking the cheap way out as you are so afraid this will mean higher taxes. Well I would rather pay the tax of preventing war and violence then pay for the aftermath in my taxes anyway (not to mention the loss of life).God Bless You.

[JMotorCity]

I follow Christ. And I agree if people followed his way of love, we wouldn't need a dept of peace. But they don't, so we do.

And unfortunately, many wage war in the name of Jesus (the crusades, etc). No one cries over that more than Jesus.

[luckybearred123]

Yeah the department of the peace is called the state department. It's a waste of money to employ hippies and left wing Utopian academics to think about peace and train people to what? Go door to door. Free trade covers foreign policy. Domestic policy should consist of sensible economic practices universal health care and affordable college education.

[paolacolombini]

You go Marianne!! you are still my favorite speaker, and we miss you in Michigan!

[Jugske]

Marianne, you're pure sunshine!!

[staciepaul]

Great, more government programs. Why do we continue to look towards the government to solve our problems. Want peace? Show the world Christ like love and actions and change things one neighbor at a time. Jesus was not a government figure. Didn't need to be. Look how his love changed the world.

[feelgoodnation]

Awesome!

Peace, Angie

Kucinich 08!

[CacaoKid]

What a beautiful woman

[moonchild39]

you go gurl~moon~

[Karmiclaw]

I just want to echo dhoag12. I have the privilege of having heard Marianne speak on numerous occations and she never uses notes or references. She is pure ablib. But she honestly believes that she will be guided to say exactly what needs to be heard. She unleashed the activist in me. I'm in it all the way. Viva HR808. Filner Rocks.

[kuAngelB]

Bravo Marianne Williamson! We have to turn this ship around. We can make it happen!

[flightoflove]

Marianne you should be the next USA President ....

[ccapoet]

Yes! Yes! and Yes! And I'm just getting started.

Thank you,

C.C. Arshagra

[dhoag12]

Marianne, what you say and the way you say it prove that some great people can come out of Texas, as well as the things of which all Americans are aware. I don't think it's necessary to mention any names.

[dhoag12]

I hope the PEACE ALLIANCE isn't looking for some negative feedback here, so that they can tweak their next video production. I thought this one came as close to perfection as any one could.

Additionally, I agree totally with Marianne, but she says it much better.

[cubaencurso]

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm looking forward to work with your group. I am a Cuban-American tired of the political games played between the two countries for almost 50 years, it keep our families separated. We need to end the US embargo on Cuba. It olnly hurts the people, not Castro. Also travel restrictions (one is only allowed to see a familty member once every three years),  expensive telephone communications, etc. Leandro Seoane

[lkhlinder]

There are very few people on this planet who have the ability to articulate the practical measure of wisdom that Marianne Williamson brings to a conversation. Certainly, the subject of peace requires such a voice to enable the citizens of this country to realize our own part in seeding the garden of our own survival. Let us all join this choir.

[davidmhazen]

Marianne has convinced me that we all have the ability to respond to the epidemic of violent thoughts, words, and deeds that are literally draining the life out of this great country. I feel restored to the passion of my heart's desire: a united, cooperative and supportive humanity! Working with the Peace Alliance is the most fulfilling work I have ever done.

[gpinto64]

Keep on speaking out Marianne -- you have many friends and supporters in San Diego. I have been a volunteer with Americans For A Dept.of Peace, the SD chapter of the Peace Alliance for over one year and I also have the priviledge to work with Azim Khamisa and The Tariq Khamisa Foundation in SD. We are soooooo grateful for your incredibly articulate voice for peace... we love you!

[head2soul]

How long before we get it we're all in this together. Marianne has had a amazing influence in raising the consciousness of the planet over the years.

[329katherine]

Marianne,

I have heard much about you from a mutual friend. This campaign makes so much sense. I support you and all supporters completely.

[dhoag12]

Marianne, you are peerless, as always, and the production is without flaw!  Top notch!

[norcal999]

shes absolutely fantastic!!!

[ReDEFININGTHEDREAM]

Well said. Such an amazing idea!!!

Marianne is amazing

[mgunch]

Don't forget to rate his video up. After the shootings at Virginia Tech this week, piled on top of the deaths in Iraq, we really do need to figure out a way to change cultural thinking.

I am for trying anything that might work. Certainly the way we have been going about things isn't working.

[dhoag12]

Marianne is amazing. I've seen her speak many times, and I've never seen her use notes.
