The Children of the World Dream of Peace
by Leo Tanguma

The Children of the World Dream of Peace is a powerful mural expressing the artist’s desire to abolish violence in society. One part of the diptych exhibits the tragedy and devastation of war and its impact on humanity. The mural then moves to images of smiling children dressed in folk costumes from around the world celebrating peace prevailing over war.

The New World Order celebration begins. This colorful mural, also displayed in Denver's "New World Airport" terminal, shows the dead Nazi-alien in the foreground surrounded by children only. Internationally parents are gone, symbolic of the contemporary globalist efforts to use psychological warfare to subvert the minds of new generations, and decimate the traditional family institution that resist state control. Front and center is, naturally, the "Deutsche Bursche"- the German boy- who pounds the Nazi-alien's sabre with his hammer - the fascist symbol for communism. Germany's war prone history is solemnly regarded but little understood, as is the British Royal Family's ancestral links to German war lords and conquerors. Also prominent in the foreground are the Chinese and American children and the British and Italian youth holding their respective flags. The Chinese youth dominates in her match-up symbolic of Revelation's prophesied "End Times" dragon coming in from the East to devour the West. The Israeli flag survives too above a cracked tombstone that symbolizes the demise of "War, Violence and Hate".
