Lanza del Vasto, servant of peace, died 40 years ago today. With the appearance of a biblical prophet, or his forerunner Noah, he set out to live by values that might preserve the world from the deluge of of violence, ugliness, and efficiency.
Lanza del Vasto died on Jan 5 1981. In his youth he traveled to India, seeking the meaning of life. There he met Gandhi and returned to Europe determined to make his ideas known in the West. He formed the Community of the Ark, an oasis of peace and reconciliation...

Apart from his inheritance and his history of bribery and fraud, the master was proud that everything he had achieved in life was a result of hard work and positive thinking. Many people were saying he was a model for youth about pursuing their dreams. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

‘I wanted them to see that the truth is true.’— in his short, radiant life, he left an enduring epitaph. Thank you for sharing his story. So sorry for your family’s (and the world’s) loss.

Trump says the quiet parts out loud.
Crazy stuff presidents say: 4/25/72 tape of Oval Office conversation between Nixon and Kissinger.
NIXON: I still think we ought to take the dikes out now, will that drown people?
HK: About 200K people.
NIXON: No, no, no...I’d rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that Henry?

Now that he was recognized as a bishop in his own church, the master insisted that he could only be tried in an ecclesiastical court. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master intended to present a petition with 11,780 signatures attesting to his beneficence and good character. Apart from his own name all he needed was to find another 11,779 signatures. 11,778 counting his manservant Mikhail. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

I never recorded my conversations with Tony Soprano. It was humbling to have the opportunity to speak with the leader of the DiMeo Family. Betraying the trust of the honor of those conversations is abominable. I swear it wasn’t me. Really. #Omerta. #Family. #Pathetic
I don’t record my calls with the President of the United States. It’s humbling to have the opportunity to speak with the leader of the free world. Betraying the trust of the honor of those conversations is abominable. #Pathetic #Sickening

The master said it was ridiculous to attribute starvation to all the deaths on the estate, when many of the deceased were old, lazy, or had simply lost the will to live. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov’s ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. “When in doubt, call it Covid.” Fake News!
