Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the call.
John: what we're doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the youth or anybody really interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's about peace, but nobody's Doing anything about it, for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor Square marches in london. the end product of it was just stories about and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna Just to give people an idea, that many ways of protest and this is one of them. And anybody could grow their hair for or give up a week of their holiday for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully we Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the With their own is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning For thousands of years. they know how to play the game violence and easier for Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they know how to handle Humour, peaceful humour and our message really.
Questioner: do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
John: a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're to do it. in Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know of Peace through violence, that's 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 done and has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're 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 up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?
I'd die of fright.
Yoko: I don't think that should happen. you 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 world is a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we everything, so not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of and germans during The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit responsible the others?
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was Aware of it and if the and the communication media of those days were Really aware of responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as as possible and if the Whole world was aware of responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few counties waited quite a long time Before they made any about what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but after and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier, But they 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 ..
no. I don't think so because...
Questioner: could have been voted by the french, for instance.
every nation will have a prototype. I think I was out talking to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country which hasn't of Raped the and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know that's True.
but they were silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european that hasn't had it's hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what They did to india and africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk mainly to the young people all the world, because those are the people Who are going to be the next generation. they're to be the next world, you Know, and we just want to say we are with them. not preaching or anything like That. we want to be with and we're with them and in our way, we're just Announcing that we're to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work For the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we is The best for us and also the young people have to realise that is just as bad as Before the second world war or in the middle of it, you know, that everything, All the violence that is happening in the world now are our and if we Don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, going To be bad, you know. and it will be like you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, find that the whole world is to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but you see, I mean, it's 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 can be correct, people sitting 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 out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the next man, and I'm sure yoko is as Violent just as well. violent people, you know. I prefer myself when I'm non- Violent. I prefer me when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living And if we have to have violence, let's it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's other can work out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to play and kill each or something. but I don't want to be Involved in their violence. I prefer to in peace, you know.
