Neville Chamberlain was holding piece of paper containing the resolution to commit to peaceful methods signed by both Hitler and himself on his return from Munich. He was showing the piece of paper to a crowd at Heston Aerodrome on 30 September 1938. He said: "...the settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find peace. This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine (waves paper to the crowd - receiving loud cheers and "Hear Hears"). Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you ...".

Later that day he stood outside Number 10 Downing Street and again read from the piece of paper and concluded: '"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time."

When we fail to make decisions, someone else will make them for us. In times of intimidation, revolution, and war this "someone'' is more apt to be the mobs in the streets who care little for facts or concepts. The result is tyranny. If freedom and democracy are to survive, it will take a miracle a miracle that only dedication and commitment can bring about. After the technological and intellectual revolutions, a moral revolution is necessary. When trapped in a world of indolence, incompetence and impotence, when challenged by ambivalence, arrogance and aggression, when you feel insignificant, you can and must do your duty!
You know the needs of your family, your neighbor, your town, your state and your community. You have here a duty to perform. lt is not important that others are bad, lazy, and dishonest. It is important that you are good, diligent, and honest. It is not important that others lie, scheme, and destroy. It is important that you are hard at work to maintain our democracy, justice, and peace.
There is no time to waste. The revolutionary forces shaking the earth have converged upon us, presenting us with difficult choices with a need for action, for ideas, for concerted and sustained commitment as a nation and as individuals. We must meet the challenge with the conviction of our beliefs. We must remember that as Americans by birth or by choice we are heirs to a permanent, continuing, liberating revolution. Our great ancestors left us an unparalleled moral and political weapon that we must share with the suffering peoples of the world.

From: "Commitment or Holocaust" by Prof. Dr. Ing. Libor Brom.
We ask ourselves who has caused the protracted holocaust in the world. Could it be that for evil to win only one thing is necessary good people who do nothing? Or that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, at the time of moral crisis, retain their neutrality? True, there are people in our world who have lost their moral perspective. Human knowledge has become vast and unmanageable. Astronomy has revealed a world beyond the imagination of man, physics a universe in the atom, biology a microcosm in every cell, physiology mysteries in every organ, and psychology dark secrets in every dream. Theology has crumbled, technology has exploded, economics has shattered, and politics has inflamed the world. The scientific specialist knows more and more about less and less, the philosophic generalist knows less and less about more and more, and both have put their blinders on to shut out any moral decision. The door is opened wide for a lasting holocaust. Knowledge has to be man's prime instrument for action and survival. Introductions that enumerate the institutions of learning where I have earned my degrees amuse me. They miss the most important school and the most influential teachers I have ever had my home and my parents. They were simple, hard-working people who had little time and very few luxuries to give. They did give me, however, their personal example and a firm springboard from which to jump into the world of confusion, terror, and war which followed. They professed one simple basic belief: Something is either good or bad, it is either decent or indecent, it serves either God or the devil, and most important they believed that it was my duty to find out what is right and what is wrong. This was what their education was all about. Yes, education is a stratified totality. First, education is facts. Second, it is concepts based upon these facts. Third, it is a decision based upon facts and concepts a personal decision as to what is right or wrong. Without this moral decision education is worthless. When we fail to make decisions, someone else will make them for us. In times of intimidation, revolution, and war this "someone'' is more apt to be the mobs in the streets who care little for facts or concepts. The result is tyranny. If freedom and democracy are to survive, it will take a miracle a miracle that only dedication and commitment can bring about. After the technological and intellectual revolutions, a moral revolution is necessary. When trapped in a world of indolence, incompetence and impotence, when challenged by ambivalence, arrogance and aggression, when you feel insignificant, you can and must do your duty! You know the needs of your family, your neighbor, your town, your state and your community. You have here a duty to perform. lt is not important that others are bad, lazy, and dishonest.

Maryam Rajavi: Europe must recognize the Iranian Resistance for democracy and popular sovereignty in Iran

UK Court of Appeal issues definitive ruling to remove the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) from terrorist list

NCRI - This morning, the British Court of Appeal, presided over by the Lord Chief Justice Phillips, refused the UK Home Secretary's leave to appeal the November 30, 2007 judgment of the Proscribed Organizations Appeal Commission (POAC). As such, the POAC ruling on the removal of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran from the terrorist list became definitive and cannot be appealed.

After a long examination of this case, POAC had determined that the PMOI was not concerned in terrorism and thus ordered the Home Secretary to lay a draft order before the Parliament to remove the PMOI from the list of proscribed organizations. POAC had described the decision to maintain the PMOI on the list "unlawful" and "perverse."

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, congratulated the Iranian people, the Mojahedin in Ashraf City, the Iranian Resistance's Leader Massoud Rajavi, and all advocates of justice and freedom, over the Court of Appeal ruling. She described it as the victory of justice and human values.

Mrs. Rajavi called on the British Government to abide by the Court's ruling and end the injustice and the violation of law. She urged the UK to immediately remove the PMOI from the terrorist list and lift all the consequent restrictions.

Underlining that the European Union's designation of the PMOI had been based on the decision of the UK's Home Secretary, Mrs. Rajavi said that following the ruling by the Court of Appeal, the Council of the European Union must remove the PMOI from the terrorist list at once. She added that any delay by the UK Government or the EU in doing so would amount to the violation of law and submitting to the demands of the religious fascism ruling Iran.

The Iranian Resistance's President-elect said that the terror label has inflicted enormous damage on the Iranian people and Resistance. Western governments have in effect contributed to the mullahs' suppression of the Iranian people, hamstrung the potentials of the Resistance and provided a pretext for the torture and execution of PMOI prisoners, she added.

Mrs. Rajavi stressed that Western governments have thus placed a major road block on the path of change in Iran. The United Kingdom and Western governments owe the people of Iran an apology over this shameful designation.

The Iranian Resistance's President-elect emphasized that change in Iran by the Iranian people and the Resistance is the only option in confronting with the mullahs' threats to regional and global peace and security. She said European governments must recognize the Iranian Resistance, which is striving for the establishment of democracy and popular sovereignty in Iran.

Mrs. Rajavi described the 35 members of the British Houses of Commons and Lords, who challenged the PMOI's designation, as the aware conscience of the people of Britain for challenging this great injustice to the Iranian people and Resistance. She offered her gratitude to the appellants in this case and all lawmakers, jurists and lawyers who had fought long and hard to remove this proscription.
