Hong Kong pictures' show(11) - HongKong's protesters had to know words About Violence by John Lennon
ジョン・レノン
（Chinese: ）
「當抗爭向暴力升級，你便墮入建制的把戲內。當權者會不惜一切地惹怒你，拉扯你的髮鬚，搧你耳光，引誘你動粗。只要將你迫成暴徒, 他們便有方法收拾你。
唯一令當權者束手無策的, 是非暴力與幽默。」

The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.

A quote from John Lennon for OWS

A friend of mine just posted something on Facebook that totally relates to Occupy Wall Street. I just hope Yoko doesn't sue me for it.
Here is what he said:
When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
John Lennon
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
To the folks at Occupy Wall Street and other occupation zones, keep the faith and preserve your integrity.
I know that there has been at least one agent provocateur. Be watchful and careful. If you find someone that sounds like they want to pick a fight with police, walk away. Walk away.

John Lennon’s lost interview about nonviolence
by Bryan Farrell
参考Original article at:http://wagingnonviolence.org/2010/10/john-lennons-lost-interview-about-nonviolence/
If he were alive, John Lennon would be celebrating his 70th birthday tomorrow, October 9. Instead we get to celebrate his legacy. In honor of that I present the above video—a short archival piece entitled “I Met the Walrus,” the making of which has a great little story unto itself. The sound was recorded in 1969, by a 14-year-old Beatles fan, who managed to sneak into Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto during the famous “bed-in” episode and conduct an interview. Lennon was in a particularly pensive mood that day, dissecting the American war machine, dissing militant revolutionaries, and promoting nonviolence. The interview was unearthed 38 years later and turned into an animated short that was nominated for an Academy Award in 2008.
While I always figured Lennon was a proponent of nonviolence (after all, he wrote the words “if you talk about destruction, you can count me out”), I would have never guessed he had such a keen understanding of its dynamics. As he says in the video, “They got all the weapons. They got all the money. And they know how to fight violence because they’ve been doing it for a thousand years. And the only thing they don’t know about is nonviolence and humor.”
While Lennon could often be consumed by the demons of his personal life, he also clearly lived by this belief and devoted much of his public life, creativity and money to various antiwar and peace-related causes. Were he alive today, perhaps the world would know a little more about nonviolence.
