I, Andrius Kulikauskas, +370 699 30003, Commander-in-Chief of the Pyramid of Peace, declare an emergency nonviolent mobilization of the Pyramid of Peace in Kenya and the online world. Please wear a white armband at all times. Please find someone in the Pyramid of Peace who agrees to be your Superior and stay in touch with each other. Please invite your friends to join the Pyramid of Peace and organize a small meeting on Tuesday, February 26 to practice nonviolence. Our plan is to organize 1,000 small meetings on Tuesday to reduce the chance for violence in Wednesday's demonstrations.

Dennis Kimambo, +254 722 388 275, Commander-of-Operations, and I are troubled by the lack of statesmanship and friendship by Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga. Dennis urges us, "Humanity before Politics". We are aware that disorderly demonstrations can be a magnet for wicked behavior. Please, help us organize an alternative to practice good behavior and embrace our enemy.

We welcome to the Pyramid of Peace all who follow our rules:

• Wear a white arm band at all times so that you are keen to help others and to let them know of the Pyramid of Peace.
• Find a person in the Pyramid of Peace who agrees to be your Superior so that you care to stay in touch with each other.
• Agree that they make public your participation and how to contact you.
• As circumstances change, know your enemy and be ready to embrace them and also ready to leave them alone.
• Do not have any weapon, but be skilled in nonviolence, and think always from your enemy's point of view.
• As you wish, participate in larger actions coordinated by your Superior.

Learn these questions and answers and practice them with all who wear the white armband:

• Question: What tribe do you belong to?
• Answer: I belong to all of the tribes.
• Question: Are you going to the demonstrations?
• Answer: I demonstrate at home.
• Question: Where is your home?
• Answer: Come and see and meet my neighbors!
• Question: What will your neighbors do to me?
• Answer: They will give you food and song and make you happy!
• Question: What do they want from me?
• Answer: What do you truly want?

Work to make these answers true!

Please organize one or more small meetings for Tuesday, February 26 to practice nonviolence. We want many small, personal gatherings rather than large ones. Let us share our creativity as acrobats, actors, singers, dancers, athletes, cooks, artists and many other talents. We ask for help in Kenya and around the world so that the press is ready to show the peacemakers of Tuesday and not only the troublemakers of Wednesday.

Please speak frankly with others, who is your enemy? and how can you love them? Consider the key principle to love your enemy:

• Look at everything from their point of view.

And be ready to give examples of each of the following:

• Be straightforward.
• Be thorough, taking many small risks, step-by-step.
• Be vulnerable.
• Let them win.
• Let them teach you.
• Stick to your principles.
• Have something to share.

Develop your own principles and put them to the test in simple situations. Ask your Superior if you have any doubts or questions.

Reach out through your friends, especially by text message and telephone, to include and engage those who you might help choose nonviolence over violence. Practice on Tuesday and prepare with your Supervisor for coordinated action on Wednesday.

Andrius in "Pyramid of Peace: Emergency Nonviolent M..."

As we respond, we are also working to remake our lives and our world with a culture of independent thinkers. Pyramid of Peace arose from the Minciu Sodas laboratory http://www.ms.lt which I founded to serve and organize independent thinkers around the world. We responded with love to help our many Kenyan participants, and then applied ourselves to prevent any chance of genocide. We agree that this is not a Kenyan issue, but a matter for all of humanity. I have taken the initiative to organize a command structure so that all who wish can be leaders with clear authority.

I spoke with Dennis Kimambo, Franz Nahrada and Janet Feldman about the future of the Pyramid of Peace as part of a culture for independent thinkers. In the middle of March, our Pyramid of Peace leaders in Kenya will meet in Nakuru. I will propose that we structure ourselves much as Linux community, where there is a clear Steward (Linus Torvalds), a Constitution (the Linux code), and an open source Community. I will propose that I be the Steward responsible for evolving a Minciu Sodas Constitution of principles, expectations, guidelines for participants of the Pyramid of Peace. Various branches of the Pyramid of Peace could accept the Minciu Sodas Constitution but also at any point abandon it or replace it. I will write down the fundamentals of such a Constitution. Franz Nahrada has agreed to contribute as an Architect, and likewise I invite Janet Feldman, Pamela McLean, Samwel Kongere, Fred Kayiwa, John Rogers and other leaders of our working groups. The principles will help us be mindful of how we might help and not hurt ourselves and others, in particular, by considering the subtle aspects of gift giving, of love. I will ask our Kenya leaders when they meet to consider my proposal to try out this Constitution for three months.

Please wear the white armband! and be of good humor!

Peace,

Andrius
