In 2004 Victor Yushchenko standing for president of the Ukraine, was poisoned by the ruling party, who then tampered with the results, declaring on state-run TV that he’d been defeated. However, in a little box in the corner of the screen, the woman providing sign-language translation gave out a different message: ‘They are lying,’ she said. ‘Yushchenko is our president.’ And the deaf community rallied spreading the news and starting the ‘Orange Revolution’ in which a million people wearing orange demanded a new election, and Yushchenko won.
In the same way, human society has always been dominated by powerful vested interests. But quietly, in the corner of the screen, as it were, stands Jesus, who says: ‘Don’t believe them; what profit is there if you gain the whole world and lose your soul.’
