>>76739 kikepedia/wiki/The_Elders_(organization) The Elders is an international non-governmental organisation of public figures noted as elder statesmen, peace activists, and human rights advocates, who were brought together by Nelson Mandela in 2007. They describe themselves as "independent global leaders working together for peace and human rights". The goal Mandela set for the Elders was to use their "almost 1,000 years of collective experience" to work on solutions for seemingly insurmountable problems such as climate change, HIV/AIDS, and poverty, as well as to "use their political independence to help resolve some of the world's most intractable conflicts".[3]
The group was initiated by Richard Branson[6] and >musician and human rights activist Peter Gabriel , together with anti-apartheid activist and former South African President Nelson Mandela. Mandela announced the formation of the group on his eighty-ninth birthday on 18 July 2007 in Johannesburg, South Africa.[7]
Peter Gabriel was charged with writing and performing the sound tract. This was the UK’s official new millennium celebration; it was supposed to reflect all our hopes and dreams entering the New Millennium.
So your thinking, I bet it was all love and joy, songs about world peace, brotherly love and harmony….
Well that’s not quite what Mr Gabriel had in mind for the new millennium; the entire show was about death, destruction, survival of the fittest and washed down with an apocalypse.
