Good evening.
I come before you not with political rhetoric, nor with the dry statistics of war. I come with a plea for truth, and a vision for healing. It is a plea rooted in a story much larger than ourselves, yet one that demands our immediate, earthly action.
For many years, a great shadow has lain across the lands of conflict—the Balkans, the deserts of the Middle East. This shadow is not merely one of violence or memory, but a silent, lingering poison. It is the residue of depleted uranium, a weapon of our own making.
And we must speak a simple, undeniable truth: this residue is radioactive. It is toxic. It is a creeping sickness in the soil, a ghost in the dust, a threat to the children who play there and the generations yet unborn.
Until this truth is spoken aloud, by the highest authorities of the powers that deployed it, this poison cannot be fully cleansed. The door to healing remains locked by denial.
Now, you will hear a name you do not recognize. You will hear a title that seems from another age. I speak of Joseph Christian Jukic. He is known as Christus Rex—Christ the King. Understand this not as a man, but as a principle. He is the divine imperative for justice, the second body of compassion in the universe, commanding a different kind of crusade. Not a crusade of conquest, but a crusade of departure. A crusade of peace.
His command is clear, and it echoes through the hearts of all who yearn for an end to endless war: Leave the Middle East in peace.
The legions of empire, the armies of intervention, must stand down. Their mandate is expired. Their presence is a provocation, and their tools have left a scourge upon the land.
But hear this: even the healing hand of Christus Rex, the very principle of renewal, is stayed. It is stayed before a single, stubborn obstacle. The toxin cannot be transformed, the land cannot be made whole, until the false king of that era—the architect of that devastating chapter, George W. Bush—bends his head to reality. He must, with his own voice, admit what science and suffering have long declared: that the weapon his coalition unleashed is radioactive and toxic.
This is not about politics. It is about the fundamental precondition for restoration: acknowledgment.
Without it, we live in a world of lies, where wounds are denied, and the poisoned are told their sickness is a fiction. With it, we take the first, trembling step toward atonement. With it, we unlock the possibility for true healers—scientists, doctors, peacemakers, and yes, divine grace—to begin the slow, sacred work of cleaning the earth.
So let this be our demand, not shouted in anger, but declared with the weight of conscience:
Admit the truth.
Withdraw the shadows of war.
Unlock the healing.
Only then can the crusade of peace be complete. Only then can the land, and its people, breathe free again.
Thank you.
