Good morning damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what we're really doing is sending out a to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's interested in for Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's a Bit heavy or bit about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna Just to give an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them. And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest peace anyway, but peacefully cause we Think that peace is only got by peaceful and that to fight the establishment With their own weapons is no good, because always win and they'd been winning For thousands of years. know how to play the game violence and it's easier for Them they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle Humour, humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you think was the biggest in history, about 300 years?
haven't a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. why we're trying to do it. in words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of Peace through violence, what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that, That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in of a war?
John: how do you
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they tell you england is in war with france?
I'd die of fright.
Yoko: I don't think should happen. you talk as if something's going to happen Aside of us. we are all in you see. we are all in the same society and in the same and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any Violence going in the is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people wasn't only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the Who had the for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so That's not gonna happen, if war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during The second world war? you think that they're a little bit more responsible the others?
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the world was really of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were Really aware of responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is impossible, I'm sure, but as much as possible and if the Whole was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time Before they made any decision what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, could've stopped it earlier, But waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a special of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
John: no. I don't so because...
Questioner: hitler could have voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation will have a prototype. I I was out talking to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country which sort of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the one that didn't attack else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european Country that hasn't had it's in one way or the other, including britain, in what They did to india and africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we to Talk mainly to the people all over the world, because those are the people Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the world, you Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not or anything like That. we want to be them and we're with them and in our way, we're just that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work For the peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we think is The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is as bad as Before the world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything, All the that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we Don't realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going To be bad, you know. and it will be like you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, find that the whole is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but don't you see, I mean, a fact that by through your Behaviour, I it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get Suspicious. they don't think that this can be correct, people under a protesting against wars. they don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to us, okay, Go ahead, and they do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of out of his soul, then?
yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the man, and I'm sure yoko is just as Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I myself when I'm non- Violent. I me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living And if we to have violence, let's channel it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's other people can out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but I want to be Involved in their violence. I to live in peace, you know.
