Amy Goodman to receive Right Livelihood Award

By Andreas Klamm, journalist, broadcast journalist
and author of Liberty and Peace NOW!

Washington D. C. / New York City / London/Stockholm/October 28, 2008. The international and excellent journalist which is known as one the world best top journalists, authors and broadcast journalists has been awarded to receive the Right Livelihood Award on December 8 or December 9, 2008 by the Right Livelihood Award Foundation in Stockholm in Sweden.

Amy Goodman will share the right Livelihood Award with four other woman which have been taking part in a vital role of social transformation.

The tree other women which will receive also the Right Livelihood Award 2008 are
Krishnammal and Sankaralingam Jagannathan / LAFTI (India)

„…for two long lifetimes of work dedicated to realizing in practice the Gandhian vision of social justice and sustainable human development, for which they have been referred to as ‚India’s soul‘.“

Asha Hagi (Somalia)
„…for continuing to lead at great personal risk the female participation in the peace and reconciliation process in her war-ravaged country.“

and

Monika Hauser (Germany)

„…for her tireless commitment to working with women who have experienced the most horrific sexual violence in some of the most dangerous countries in the world, and campaigning for them to receive social recognition and compensation.“

Amy Goodman will be honored for „…for developing an innovative model of truly independent political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by mainstream media.”

Presented annually in Stockholm at a ceremony in the Swedish Parliament, the Right Livelihood Award is usually shared by four recipients. One of them may receive an Honorary Award, given to a person or group whose work the Jury wishes to recognize but who is not primarily in need of monetary support. The others share the prize money of 2,000,000 Swedish kronor (approximately USD 310,000). The prize money is for ongoing successful work, never for personal use.

The media is sometimes called the fourth power in a democracy. But in many countries of the world such as for example Germany, Iran, Iraq, China, North Korea and many others the media is today no longer willing or able to play this role. Instead it defers to commercial and political interests, thus eroding democracy and destroying elementary and fundamental vital parts of a democracy such as the freedom the press, liberty, peace, free speech and justice.

With Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman has shown what the alternative to this dangerous trend can look like. Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the U.S. which is now available to people seeking alternative viewpoints around the globe.
Career

Amy Goodman was born in 1957, graduated from Harvard in 1984 and became news director at the New York radio station WBAI a few years later. In 1996 she launched the daily one-hour news broadcast Democracy Now!, which she now hosts with Juan Gonzalez, and which is produced live from 08.00 to 09.00 US EST.

Unembedded reporting

Democracy Now! focuses on issues its producers consider under-reported or ignored by mainstream news coverage, like global news or reporting on anti-war activism in the U.S. It provides hard-hitting, independent, breaking coverage of war and peace, U.S. domestic and foreign policy, and struggles for social, racial, economic, gender and environmental justice in the U.S. and abroad.

Democracy Now! seeks to give voice to the voiceless. Its broadcasts include:
in-depth interviews with community members, activists, academics, artists and journalists shut out by the mainstream media, debates between activists and people in power, investigative reports and exclusive interviews with usual and controversial guests, and on-the-ground reporting from protests, the recent conventions and hot spots round the world.

Democracy Now! – Facts and figure
s

Democracy Now! is the fastest growing independent news program in the United States of America . The educational program is now syndicated to more than 700 radio and TV, satellite and cable TV networks in North America reaching millions of people worldwide.

Democracy Now! is produced by seven producers, 20 full-time and 15 paid part-time staff as well as many volunteers. Broadcast daily as an hourly TV show, but with its founding on radio, it is produced in such a way that the stories never rely on the pictures, which allows it to be sent out as a radio show on community radio stations all over the US.

Democracy Now! has an outreach team working to encourage communities to demand that their community radio stations transmit the program.

Democracy Now!’s innovative technical solutions allow for high usability for any kind of audience. There is ‚close captioning‘ for deaf people and numerous voluntary transcribers produce full transcripts of the show. On the website, there are different types of streams and downloads, e.g. audio files, but also high-quality video files that are sent out, for example, by a Japanese TV channel once a week. Democracy Now! also keeps a complete archive of all its shows, which people can research for free.

Democracy Now! receives no government or corporate funding. Because of its educational mission, it has charitable status according to US law (501c3). Major organizational donors have been the Lannan Foundation and the Wallace Global Fund. Significant contributions also come from listeners themselves.

What Amy Goodman is calling “Trickle-up journalism”

Amy Goodman describes Democracy Now! as ‚trickle-up journalism‘, because the stories it runs are often taken up by the mainstream media and her interviewees are very often interviewed by other channels after they have appeared on Democracy Now! Thus, the significance of Democracy Now! goes beyond the show as such: It also serves to open up the media landscape, acting as a ‚conveyor belt‘ for stories that otherwise would not reach the mainstream media.

Awards and books received by Amy Goodman

Amy Goodman’s awards include the Golden Reel for the Best National Documentary for ‚Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria’s Oil Dictatorship‘ in 1998, and the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Prize for ‚Massacre: the Story of East Timor‘. This story had almost cost her life: In East Timor, she survived a massacre in 1991 in which Indonesian soldiers gunned down 270 Timorese people.

The journalist, author and brodcasting journalist has also written three hard-hitting books with her brother, David Goodman: The Exception to the Rulers (2004); Static: Government Liars, Media Cheer-leaders and the People who Fight Back (2006); and Standing up to the Madness (2008). She also syndicates a column to national papers.

Democracy Now! is broadcast daily from 8-9am EST/1-2pm GMT. To watch today’s show and for a list of international and domestic stations that carry DN!, please go to www.democracynow.org.

Quotation: What Amy Goodman has said about the Right Livelihood Award

„I am completely honored to have my work and the work of my colleagues held in such high regard, it makes me realize how important the work of bringing a truly independent voice to broadcast news and journalism really is. I really believe in free speech and independent journalism as a tool for peace, for understanding. It is so important, especially during times like these, that the media hold the politicians feet to the fire… we all need the real answers, the truth as best we can. This is why I get up every morning and go to the red firehouse we broadcast from everyday, still as excited as my first day at Democracy Now! over 12 years ago.“

Amy Goodman

The murder and killing of independent journalists fighting for liberty and democracy

Not all journalists which do publish alternative and independent reports do receive an award. Many of these journalists instead of receiving awards have been murdered. According to the Committee to Protect Journalist in 2008, 33 journalists have been killed. In 2007 according to information in the USA a number of 67 journalists have been killed.

The International Press Institute in Europe knows already about 37 journalists which been murdered in the year 2008. In the years 2007 93 journalists have been killed according to the International Press Institute.

Reporters without borders knows about the death of 34 journalists in 2008 while 126 journalists are imprisoned. About so called 93 “cyber dissidents” and 9 media assistant staff do serve in prison for simply speaking out a part of the truth for laboring for liberty, democracy and peace.

U.S. election brings hope to REJECT TORTURE

U.S. election brings hope to REJECT TORTURE

By Andreas Klamm

New York City, U.S.A./3mnewswire.org/October 29, 2008/– Reject Torture is a project to end torture. The international group „reject torture“ has hope to REJECT TORTURE with the U.S. elections and has issued in a statement on their website:

„There is real hope in this election year. In the “war on terror” our government chose to break radically with our tradition and use torture in interrogating detainees. The consequences have been disastrous. It has spread hatred of America, recruited new terrorists, and placed our soldiers at risk. It has betrayed our values, damaged our credibility, frayed our alliances, and undermined our ability to promote freedom and democracy. TOGETHER WE CAN HALT TORTURE.

Both U.S. Presidential candidates publicly oppose torture. We the people of America must add our voice. Join in this initiative to urge both candidates to lead their political parties to include Reject Torture planks in their party platforms.“

The group has given the advise to contact each of the PRESIDENTIAL candidate now and to insist „No Torture. No Exceptions.“

Senator John McCain can be reached by Phone: (202) 224-2235, Fax: (202) 228-2862 and Senator Barack Obama, Phone: (202) 224-2854, Fax: (202) 228-4260 in the United States of America.

Thousands of Iraqi Christian refugees flee Mosul

Thousands of Iraqi Christian refugees flee Mosul

By Sybella Wilkes
in Qamishli, Syria

New York/U.S.A. / QAMISHLI, Syria, October 24, 2008/UNHCR/3mnewswire.org/– According to the UNHCR thousands of Christian believers have fled from the city of Mosul after threats against their lifes and several killings of Christian believers have taken place.

The UN refugee agency has begun helping hundreds of Iraqi Christians who fled to Syria to escape violence and threats in the northern Iraq city of Mosul.

Thousands of Christians have left Mosul over the past fortnight. Most have found shelter in villages elsewhere in Ninawa province, but about 400 have crossed into Syria. It is still not clear who is behind the intimidation.

„Many Christians from Mosul have been systematically targeted recently and are no longer safe there. We are ready to provide support for those Iraqis that seek refuge in neighbouring countries,“ said Laurens Jolles, UNHCR’s representative in Syria. „We are grateful that Syria continues to welcome refugees,“ he added of a country that is hosting at least 1.2 million Iraqi refugees.

UNHCR has fast-tracked the registration of Christian refugees from Mosul who have turned up at the agency’s offices in the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, while a team of field officers has travelled to the Qamishli area close to Iraq, where some people have been arriving. Following registration, families facing financial difficulties are assessed for emergency grants and food assistance.

Field officers have met 20 families from Mosul in the Qamishli area in the past few days, while more than 20 Iraqi Christian families have sought the agency’s help in Aleppo in recent days.

Those interviewed have told similar stories of sudden flight from Mosul. Many left with limited financial resources and need help extending their visas to Syria. All said they hoped to be able to return to their homes in the Iraqi city soon.

Sara* and her mother left Mosul early last week, two days after someone called one of her colleagues at work and said that all Christians should leave the city immediately or be killed. „My colleagues wept as all the Christians in the office rushed out of the building,“ she recalled.

Sara was unnerved, but decided to leave only after hearing reports that 11 friends had been killed at a checkpoint by militiamen dressed as police officers. „We heard that they were killed on the spot after their identity cards were examined showing the Christian faith of the person,“ she explained.

She and her mother escaped with a couple of bags and all the money that they had in the house – they did not dare go to the bank to remove their savings. They had visited Syria on holiday earlier in the year and met the ancient Christian community in the city of Saidnaya, north of Damascus. The two women, who felt the Church would support them, approached UNHCR in Damascus.

Nina*, a nurse by profession, fled Mosul almost two weeks ago. „The threats started months ago, with phone calls, letters and even messages on our door,“ she said, adding that she tried to ignore them at first.

But when churches closed and friends and acquaintances began falling victim to the violence, including a friend shot dead in front of his son, Nina began reconsidering her position. It was difficult because she had an invalid mother.

Nina hung on in Mosul until October 10, when she received a new threat. She immediately took her mother to a village outside Mosul and then carried on across the border into Syria with her sister’s young family. Nina has no phone and has not been able to reach her mother since she left. She says she’s frightened to go back to Iraq, but is very worried about her mother and is considering returning to try to bring her to Syria.

Mariam* hung on even longer in Mosul and only left with her son Farah* after a wheelchair-bound Christian man was murdered. „We were the hard core that never wanted to leave Iraq, even with the tense environment. My brother in Syria has been begging me to leave for a long time, but I never agreed,“ she said, adding: „As we felt the knife close to our throats, we had no choice but to flee.“

Her two daughters and their families took refuge in villages near Mosul. „They tell us that there is nowhere for them to go. They are in the streets,“ said a softly weeping Mariam, who is trying to arrange a visa to Syria for them.

She dreams of going back, but dreads to think what she will find. She left her keys with Muslim neighbours but has heard that the homes of friends were destroyed with dynamite soon after they left. „I lived in my home for 35 years and had to pack in 30 minutes,“ said the devastated mother as she talked to UNHCR in the living room of her brother’s modest home in Qamishli.

UNHCR has registered around 220,000 Iraqi refugees in Syria, of whom 15,000 originate from Ninewa province where Mosul is located. UNHCR is mid-way through a food distribution for more than 190,000 Iraqi refugees throughout Syria, while approximately 38,000 Iraqi refugees benefit from financial assistance.

World Citizen: Journalist confirms that he is working for the international press – „War is abortion“

World Citizen:

Journalist confirms that he is working for the international press

“War is abortion”

By Andrew P. Harrod

Washington, D.C./New York City/October 24, 2008/3mnewswire.org/– The French-German journalist, broadcast journalist and author of several books, founder and director of IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty and IBS Television Liberty, founder and director of Grace MedCare Ltd. London, United Kingdom has confirmed that since 1984 he is working as journalist, author and broadcast journalist for the international press.

Some German citizen have considered that the French-German author by birth could be Anti-German.

Andreas Klamm has said: “By no means I am Anti-German. These people have perhaps come to false conclusions only because I am against the deadly ideology of the German Nazis, against racism, nationalism, against the abuses of human rights and against the oppression of the poor people and against the oppression of refugees and other people.”

It has been discovered that the journalist has been even recently co-operating with authors and journalists from countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States of America, Israel, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece, Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland, Austria, Australia, Iran, Iraq, Paraguay, Bolivia, Canada, Lithuania, Brazil, Portugal, Turkey, Russia, Denmark, Togo, Kenya, Burundi, Sweden, Georgia, the Dominican Republic and even with journalists from Asia..

The journalist has explained also “You should not wonder about these things. In the German city of Speyer and in the English city of Leeds in the United Kingdom in 1986 I became the founder of IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty, which is an international and alternative non-commercial media. Since 1986 I have declared many times both on radio and television in many cases that the independent, alternative is supporting international understanding since 1986. Those which have been watching my radio and television programs do know very well, that as a French-German journalist, author, broadcast journalist I do treat myself as a citizen in this world.

The German city of Ludwigshafen am Rhein is a city in this world and on this planet. Certainly I have to refuse if people call me an alien or Anti-German. I am a citizen in this world and a citizen on this planet and certainly I do treat myself as a citizen in this world as a human being and claim to be a human being.

If some people call me an alien this leads to the conclusion if these people perhaps could be Anti-human? The international community should investigate who might be PRO-human beings and who might be Anti–human beings. This investigation and research would so easily deliver hundreds if not thousand of interesting stories which have to be covered in the newspapers, on radio, the television. So far as I have heard about the number I do believe there are about 6.7 billions of human beings in this world. Who in the world could claim that he or she is not born in this world and on this planet? And who in the world would believe such a thing even if someone would claim to be born as a human being not in this world and on this planet? My belief system includes that all human beings have equal rights to live, for social security, for democracy, liberty, peace and justice.

This might be shocking news. But I am also Anti-Abortion when it comes to the point where dictators do believe they might have the right to abort millions of human beings by war or other disasters which have caused by human beings. Not every disaster is a natural one or caused by a supernatural and supreme authority. Some of the disasters are created by people which do profit from wars and love to abort (to kill) millions of people, instead to save the life or a man or woman or even more. War is abortion in the higher sense. Someone else is making the decision if you might live or not. I believe the right to create live and to take life belongs to the LORD our GOD, only. It is very easy to deliver the proof. Certainly I do believe we have to bring to an end the bloody circle of violence.

Horses and dogs seems to be more intelligent than us poor human beings in the area of social ties and behavior. Have you ever heard a dog or a horse, which was white or yellow calling a brown dog or a black horse to be a non-dog or to be a non-horse? The critics should understand you can not change this: I am a human being and I am a citizen in this world and on this planet. Certainly I will continue to support and to work hard for international understanding, liberty, democracy, peace, social security, justice and human rights.

It is no secret that some dictators and supporters of a tyranny want to make all of us their slaves. We should by no means allow such a thing going to happen. Therefore it is important to be engaged in the defense of democracy, liberty, international understanding, peace, liberty, social values and justice. This engagement will actually make many of us better human beings.”

Change we need: How to challenge the big media and media moguls

Change we need:

How to challenge the big media and media moguls

By Andreas Klamm

Washington, D. C. / New York City/October 23, 2008/3mnewswire.org/– The truth is revealed. Change we need. Yeah, change we need so urgently. Many people spend so much time to find a solution not be influenced this much by the big main stream media information of the big media and the media which is known as main stream media.

As an investigative journalist, broadcast journalist, French-German author of several books since 1984 I am since 1984 for about 24 years performing a research how we might challenge these big media companies and networks and the big media. For hours I had conversation with editors in chief and even with some of the media moguls until I have realized there are three easy steps how to challenge the big media and the media moguls.

It is this simple and it will cost you not years or hours of your precious time and certainly it will not cost you 700 Billion U.S. Dollars.

If you are not happy with the embedded media coverage, such as on ABC, NBC, Fox News or with Ted Turner´s CNN media network and many other main stream media then simple follow these three easy steps.

1.STEP ONE: You should spend anyway not many hours watching 24 hours television. There is more to discover in life then 24 hours of watching television all the day long.

2.STEP TWO: Simply turn off ABC, NBC, Fox News and Ted Turner´s CNN and switch to Democracy NOW! with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. Democracy NOW! is available worldwide on 250 radio station and about 700 alternative television network station and even on satellite television. You will find the current information where to watch the educational television and radio program on www.democracynow.org . You will have the great chance to see and to hear the difference in the media. It is almost like you as have spend 40 years in the wilderness and have been looking for a good well (water source) where you will find fresh and clean water and just with watching one hour Democracy NOW! you will be able to experience the great joy not to thirst this quick again for a good and educational television and radio program. You will realize also that you do not have to spend hours watching television all the day long and to waste your precious time. After watching one hour Democracy NOW! you will have more time for valuable things which do matter in your life. You could easily spend some time getting engaged with some social work in your local community or you might have even more time to spend with your friends and family.

3.STEP THREE:
Be polite and friendly write a postcard or an email to ABC, NBC, Fox News and CNN or the other main stream media networks and let them know that you have switched from the main stream media to a good and educational television and radio program which is know as Democracy NOW!

It might take some while but then the media moguls will realize that they are going to loose millions of listeners and viewers they will certainly start to consider to cover the stories and voices which at this time we can not find on the main stream media.

Picture this: It is by no means only Ted Turner and other media moguls which do have the power and strength to challenge you. IT IS YOU, which can challenge the big media and the main stream media moguls. Imagine, if only 90 or 100 million people will follow the advise to turn off the big media and to tune in to Democracy NOW! or other alternative radio and television programs. The big media would feel this by loosing millions of advertising money for commercials and infomercials. Guess if you continue for one week or even longer. The media moguls would start to think and perhaps after some while you would realize that every listener and viewer has so easily the strength and power to challenge and even to change the big media. Think as independent as possible. You need to think ! And then act with peace and wisdom. With every listener and viewer which the big media is going to loose, the big media will loose its power. This concept is working very well with newspapers also. Imagine the newspaper is not covering the stories you want and need to read. Just give them a friendly call to the publishing house and let them know I am not going to buy and read your paper anymore as long as I will find the stories which I can not find at this time in the paper. You can challenge the editors and publishers and you will be able to witness and read the change.

Step number 4 is not this easy. In 1986 I became the founder of the international alternative media network IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, IBS Television Liberty and Radio IBS Liberty. You should know that my father was a poor fire fighter, my grand father was a French Army Officer stationed in 1945. In 1986 I have started with about 100 German Marks with the foundation an own and international alternative media network will require if you are not rich and have not the money that you will love to work and labor hard.

There are ways to cover huge events such as the G8 summit in Heilgendamm Germany even with only 20 U.S. dollars in your pocket. In 2007 I did this: I have been one of about 4.700 officially journalists, news correspondents and television producer with an accreditation issued by the German government. Before I became one, I had to write to two German courts and some viewers, listeners and readers have signed a petition that I will get with my official press credentials the permission to produce independent television and radio programs. It has required some work and fights to defend the freedom of the press and information.

Therefore as you are able to imagine I do know what I am writing and talking about. It will be not an easy way. Since 1984 I have produced hundreds of television and radio programs and I have conducted hundreds of interviews have been taking about 20.000 photographs as a photo journalist and have received the first awards when I have been 18 years of age in 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989 from a state film department from Germany. In the studio and the editorial offices I have spend hours, day and nights even covering the U.S. elections in 2000 and 2004 and in some cases I have been spending about 18 up to 20 hours in the studio to cut and edit radio and television programs.

Sometimes I have been this tired that I have passed or blacked out in the studio and just have been sleeping on the floor of some studios and continued to work and labor when the light of the morning came back.

It was certainly in many cases hard labor and it will require some sacrifices if you are willing to build you own international media network. If you ever will perform 2 hours Live Television programs and 8 hours Live radio programs you will certainly know what I am writing and talking about.

It requires hard labor and work if you do not have the money as the media moguls such as Ted Turner and many others but there is a way.

In the past 24 years I had the chance to meet so many precious people, even some precious politicians and other journalists and I do not want to miss these interesting conversations. My advise is that you should consider the price which you will have to pay by spending a lot of you precious time of life if your are planning to run an alternative television and radio program.

Some advise which will help: If you want to produce good educational radio and television programs you have to read a lot of books. A little example why this advise could be important: Since the age of 16 I am reading and studying the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which some other people call also the bible, Old and New Testament. You will find amazing answers, questions and ideas in this most precious book. Guess you want to cover a story about corruption. It is no joke you will find in the Holy Scriptures the answer, where to start maybe a search for an investigative research and where to find a lot of corruption.

There are many other books on the market which you could and should read also. If you have because of the financial crisis not the money anymore to buy some real good books, spend some time in you community library as I did already in 1987 in Leeds in the United Kingdom and in many other cases in Germany and even in New York City in the United States of America.

If you are planning to work as an investigative broadcast journalist, journalist and author you should be prepared for fights such as death threats, attempted targeted killing and threats. In Germany in many cases some people and political forces try not to shoot journalists but to destroy their financial liberty which is making everyone this easily a slave.  Sometime it occurs that you will receive first threats, followed by death threats and that you will get involved as a victim in so called “accidents”. Some viewers and observers have told me, that some of the accidents which I have suffered have been not accidents but the attempt to kill me for covering simply stories about the abuses of the human rights, political, social and financial affairs.

There is not the proof that these viewers are right but I can assure you that I have received threats and people have told me several times: “We do wonder that you are still alive.” It happened again this afternoon, that a colleague and another independent television producer mentioned to me on the phone: “I do wonder you are still alive…”. He knows that I am since 1984 covering stories and speaking out things which you will hear usually not on the big main stream media. Independent and alternative journalists should work international and seek international co-operation. This is one of the reasons that I became a member of the International Federations of Journalists. Another reason is that since 1993 I am a member of the union.  Since 1989 I am active also as a peace and social activist.

It is a serious thing if you are going to receive threats. Not taking part in the fight could mean that you have lost the fight or the battle already. However I do believe: If the good people are NOT fighting, the bad guys or people will win. And these times are so special that I do believe that we just can not allow and afford the luxury that the bad people which do oppress the truth and millions of people that the bad people will win the battle or the fights. Therefore the good people have to fight for peace, liberty, justice, truth and democracy – every one of us. Peace, liberty, justice, truth, social security and democracy are under attack and every one of us should take part in defending these elementary and fundamental rights. This will certainly not without danger. I do know that liberty is right and GOD gave us not a free will to be slaves. God teaches liberty. Do fight as peaceful as possible, not with violence, overcome evil with good, overcome violence with non-violence. There are many peaceful ways how to fight and how to defend.

Now I am telling you a little secret. You will find in the Holy Scriptures even the advise how you could act in time of a financial crisis. Certainly it requires some faith and belief.

Another good advise is listen to the things what your viewers and listener are going to tell you and will write you. Some real good ideas for television and radio programs which have received an award I got from listeners and viewers on the street. In many cases the conversation started this way: “I have seen your program on television and …”. Afterwards some of my viewers gave me some advise or tips what they want to see on the screen or what they want to hear on the radio. In some cases I have spend a night in other cases I have mediated a week and then my thought was something similar like “Let´s try this idea or way…”. Not always but in some cases it was working out good and therefore to some of my viewers which are watching my television programs and listening to my radio programs since about 24 year I am very thankful and I want to let you know: THANK you and I do love you !

Even you might get famous, known in many different countries in this world PLEASE keep in mind, that our listeners and viewers deserve the THANKSGIVING. One of our websites has visitors and readers from 40 different countries. We had not one single cent on our budget for 2007 and 2008 for advertising to tell other people about this new service which has started in May 2008.

The viewers and listeners of my radio and television programs are meaning a lot to me and I am thankful for each of them. Some of them have told me, that they do sense this feelings towards them, that I do appreciate very much that they are spending some times one minute and some times one hour to one of my radio or television programs and some of them are thankful for this appreciation.

As long as you are not a real good business man in the financial and commercial sense you should expect not getting rich but to face serious trouble for working as an investigative broadcast journalist and journalist. For simply covering an event on television about 100 homeless people in Germany I have received threats in the year of 2006 and 2007 including death threats again.

Thank you to the listeners and viewers and for your tips and guidance which has challenged in Germany sometimes even the big commercial main stream and even the powerful state operated television and radio stations in Germany. However I know God is watching and listening us at any time and this comforts me, perhaps other people, too. There is no secret which you can hide before the Lord our God. This truth and fact might scare some people while this truth and fact is a comfort to me and many other people. Some viewers have been wondering what the term “Journalist, D.o.G.” stands for during some of my television programs and perhaps they might have been thinking I am working for the Department of Germany. This is not the case, I am still working international and alternative. Some times I do wonder if some one wants to tell others about the truth how in the world we are able to deny the most important truth? The answer and truth is very simple: “D.o.G. Stands for dependent upon the GRACE OF GOD.” All truth shall be revealed. Best wishes.

Change we need: How to challenge the big media and media moguls

Change we need:

How to challenge the big media and media moguls

By Andreas Klamm

Washington, D. C. / New York City/October 23, 2008/3mnewswire.org/– The truth is revealed. Change we need. Yeah, change we need so urgently. Many people spend so much time to find a solution not be influenced this much by the big main stream media information of the big media and the media which is known as main stream media.

As an investigative journalist, broadcast journalist, French-German author of several books since 1984 I am for about 24 years performing a research how we might challenge these big media companies and networks and the big media. For hours I had conversations with editors in chief and even with some of the media moguls until I have realized there are three easy steps how to challenge the big media and the media moguls.

It is this simple and it will cost you not years or hours of your precious time and certainly it will not cost you 700 Billion U.S. Dollars.

If you are not happy with the embedded media coverage, such as on ABC, NBC, Fox News or with Ted Turner´s CNN media network and many other main stream media then simple follow these three easy steps.


1.STEP ONE
: You should spend anyway not many hours watching 24 hours television. There is more to discover in life then 24 hours of watching television all the day long.

2.STEP TWO: Simply turn off ABC, NBC, Fox News and Ted Turner´s CNN and switch to Democracy NOW! with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. Democracy NOW! is available worldwide on 250 radio station and about 700 alternative television network station and even on satellite television. You will find the current information where to watch the educational television and radio program on www.democracynow.org . You will have the great chance to see and to hear the difference in the media. It is almost like you as have spend 40 years in the wilderness and have been looking for a good well (water source) . There you will find fresh and clean water and just with watching one hour Democracy NOW! you will be able to experience the great joy not to thirst this quick again for a good and educational television and radio program. You will realize also that you do not have to spend hours watching television all the day long and to waste your precious time. After watching one hour Democracy NOW! you will have more time for valuable things which do matter in your life. You could easily spend some time getting engaged with some social work in your local community or you might have even more time to spend with your friends and family.

3.STEP THREE: Be polite and friendly write a postcard or an email to ABC, NBC, Fox News and CNN or the other main stream media networks and let them know that you have switched from the main stream media to a good and educational television and radio program which is know as Democracy NOW!

PLEASE: Do not pay any attention to Anti-Obama „Christian“ propaganda – About the danger of smear campaigns during U.S elections

PLEASE: Do not pay any attention to Anti-Obama „Christian“ propaganda – About the danger of smear campaigns during U.S elections

By Andreas Klamm

Washington. D.C./New York City. Perhaps I should be thankful that I am not an U.S. citizen at this time and therefore I have not the right to vote for Senator Barack Obama or Senator John Mc Cain.

In October 2007 I have written to the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C, United States of America (U.S.A) and have requested according to ARTICLE 15, according to the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the UNITED NATIONS the change of citizenship from the German citizenship into the American citizenship. Certainly I do make no secret of the fact that I want to become an U.S. citizen.

By birth I am a French-German citizen and since 1984 I am working as journalist, author, broadcast journalist and even as independent television- film- radio- and media producer.

As founder and director of the IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty and IBS Television Liberty I need to ask you today because of very sad incidents which happened in the past weeks during the Presidential campaign: „PLEASE DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION to smear campaigns issued by so called Christian believers.“

Some of the so called Christian believers have issued news and press releases which should be accounted for what they are: SMEAR CAMPAIGNS against Senator Barack Obama. This could be perhaps even called racism. However I do not want to go this far.

These so called Christian believers claim to know that Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim. Since weeks I am doing a lot of research on Senator Barack Obama and so far as I have been able to gather the news and information he is not officially known as a Muslim believer.

However even if Senator Barack Obama would be a faithful man of the Muslim faith, there would be nothing wrong with such a thing according the the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and both of the Presidential candidates, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John Mc Cain have caused me to study again and again the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the UNITED NATIONS and the U.S. CONSTITUTION and many other issues. However therefore I give thanks to both of the Presidential candidates.

As you are able to imagine I would love to know already today who will become the next President of the United States of America but we have to wait until November 4, 2008. One thing seems to be certain: The candidate which will be able to get more votes for himself and his party will become the next President of the United States of America.

What I find quite difficult in concern of these so called christians which issue all kind of information during a worse SMEAR CAMPAIGN against Senator Barack Obama, have these Christian believers forgotten, that in the Bible it is written to love 1. The LORD our God, 2. your neighbor as thyself and even 3. to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.

Why is number 3 this important. Even if some so called Christian believers would account Senator Barrack Obama as an enemy they have by no means the right to issue information against Senator Barrack Obama during a smear campaign. Christian believers are supposed even to LOVE their enemies and not to harm them during any kind of smear campaign.

Another serious strange thing: So many so called Christian believers are fighting against abortion, which seems to be a serious Christian important duty. But on the other hand they are supporting the death penalty such against Troy Davis which has testified in the public that he has not killed the police officer. Seven of nine witnesses have withdrawn their given testimonies against Troy Davis. There is not one physical evidence that Troy Davis has killed a person or police officer.

It does not match if so called “Christian believers” do support the death penalty even against a possible innocent man.

Hear the statement of Mr. Troy Davis yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg3cJOdzO1A. He said that he serves in prison for 16 years for a crime which did he NOT commit.

So how in the world so called “Christian believers” can fight against abortion on one hand and on the other hand they do cry for the murder of a possible innocent man, such as Mr. Troy Davis.

Where in the world are these millions of so called Christian believers to take action to avoid the killing of an innocent man. True believers in Christ would do so, but there are not many of them so far as we have been able to notice.

If some one calls herself or himself to be a “Christian believer” it does not mean always that they are true believers, because true believers would not allow it going to happen that a possible innocent man is going to be killed in the state of Georgia on October 27 and true believers would not participate a SMEAR campaign against one of the Presidential candidates.

Therefore PLEASE understand, IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty is providing all different kind of news and information, television and radio reports since 1986.

IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty is operating under LOW- and NO-budget conditions and under ARTICLE 18 and ARTICLE 19 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS.

For reason of documentation we do even publish news and information which are totally different to our own views, beliefs and faith. With most of the news and information which we do provide we do not agree in any way. Certainly we do publish news and information which are totally in contradiction to our own political views, faith or belief. ARTICLE 18 and ARTICLE 19 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the UNITED NATIONS make such things possible, so far as we do receive under BEST circumstances all different kind of information, that people, meaning our readers, viewers and listener can make their own decision.

When it comes to the point that we are getting aware of the fact that so many news and press releases have been issued against one person or organization we are making AWARE our readers, viewers and listeners of SMEAR campaigns but we do not oppress the documentation of any kind of information and news.

We are receiving a lot of news and press releases issued by the United Nations also but we are not associated with the United Nations. We are an alternative and „independent“ media meaning that financial restrictions do apply as we do operate under LOW- and NO-budget conditions and all people do know that the production of news, information, radio and television programs and all kind of different work COSTS MONEY.

After the smear campaigns against Senator Barack Obama got this worse I need to ask you hereby today to VOTE INDEPENDENT as possible. Make your vote based upon education, financial, political and social issues but DO NOT PAY ATTENTION to brainwashing SMEAR CAMPAIGNS against one of the Presidential candidates.

Perhaps you should consider that these so called „Christian propaganda“ is not even Christian, as you have learned Christian believers are supposed to love 1. The LORD our God, 2. your neighbor as thyself and even 3. to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.

Not one of the Presidential candidates is an enemy in concern of belief or faith related issues. All of the Presidential candidates are candidates for the U.S. elections in the United States of America and in this world.

Thank you!

Burmese correspondent released from jail

Burmese correspondent released from jail

New York./October 22, 2008/3mnewswire.org/ According to Mizzima News the chief correspondent of the „Flower“ journal, detained for over a month for covering a double murder in Thigangyun, Rangoon, was released from custody on the evening of 21 October after the charge against him was withdrawn.

Saw Myint Than was released after the prosecutor, Pol. Maj. Khin Maung Aye withdrew the case against him under Section 34(d) of the Electronic Law.

But a journalist close to the staff of the „Flower“ said that the Saw Myint Than had to sign a bond in return for his freedom, pledging not to commit a similar crime in the future.

The authorities, however, did not elaborate or clarify what a „similar crime“ was.

He had several charges, including having unlawful associations and using an unauthorized Internet connection, when his cases were registered at the Kyauktada police station in Rangoon. These were later withdrawn one by one.

Saw Myint Than is likely to return to his old position in the journal, sources said.

The police arrested him after the website of the „Irrawaddy“, a magazine run by Burmese exiles, posted a news item saying that the Rangoon Division Police Force had summoned and reprimanded Saw Myint Than for covering a double murder incident in Thingangyun, Rangoon Division.

The police had accused Saw Myint Than of having contacts with the „Irrawaddy“ news magazine, a charge both the correspondent and the news magazine denied.

PLEASE: Do not pay any attention to Anti-Obama „Christian“ propaganda – About the danger of smear campaigns during U.S elections

PLEASE: Do not pay any attention to Anti-Obama „Christian“ propaganda – About the danger of smear campaigns during U.S elections

By Andreas Klamm

Washington. D.C./New York City. Perhaps I should be thankful that I am not an U.S. citizen at this time and therefore I have not the right to vote for Senator Barack Obama or Senator John Mc Cain.

In October 2007 I have written to the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C, United States of America (U.S.A) and have requested according to ARTICLE 15, according to the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the UNITED NATIONS the change of citizenship from the German citizenship into the American citizenship. Certainly I do make no secret of the fact that I want to become an U.S. citizen.

By birth I am a French-German citizen and since 1984 I am working as journalist, author, broadcast journalist and even as independent television- film- radio- and media producer.

As founder and director of the IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty and IBS Television Liberty I need to ask you today because of very sad incidents which happened in the past weeks during the Presidential campaign: „PLEASE DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION to smear campaigns issued by so called Christian believers.

Some of the so called Christian believers have issued news and press releases which should be accounted for what they are: SMEAR CAMPAIGNS against Senator Barack Obama. This could be perhaps even called racism. However I do not want to go this far.

These so called Christian believers claim to know that Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim. Since weeks I am doing a lot of research on Senator Barack Obama and so far as I have been able to gather the news and information he is not officially known as a Muslim believer.

However even if Senator Barack Obama would be a faithful man of the Muslim faith, there would be nothing wrong with such a thing according the the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and both of the Presidential candidates, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John Mc Cain have caused me to study again and again the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the UNITED NATIONS and the U.S. CONSTITUTION and many other issues. However therefore I give thanks to both of the Presidential candidates.

As you are able to imagine I would love to know already today who will become the next President of the United States of America but we have to wait until November 4, 2008. One thing seems to be certain: The candidate which will be able to get more votes for himself and his party will become the next President of the United States of America.

What I find quite difficult in concern of these so called christians which issue all kind of information during a worse SMEAR CAMPAIGN against Senator Barack Obama, have these Christian believers forgotten, that in the Bible it is written to love 1. The LORD our God, 2. your neighbor as thyself and even 3. to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.

Why is number 3 this important. Even if some so called Christian believers would account Senator Barrack Obama as an enemy they have by no means the right to issue information against Senator Barrack Obama during a smear campaign. Christian believers are supposed even to LOVE their enemies and not to harm them during any kind of smear campaign.

Another serious strange thing: So many so called Christian believers are fighting against abortion, which seems to be a serious Christian important duty. But on the other hand they are supporting the death penalty such against Troy Davis which has testified in the public that he has not killed the police officer. Seven of nine witnesses have withdrawn their given testimonies against Troy Davis. There is not one physical evidence that Troy Davis has killed a person or police officer.

It does not match if so called “Christian believers” do support the death penalty even against a possible innocent man.

Hear the statement of Mr. Troy Davis yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg3cJOdzO1A. He said that he serves in prison for 16 years for a crime which did he NOT commit.

So how in the world so called “Christian believers” can fight against abortion on one hand and on the other hand they do cry for the murder of a possible innocent man, such as Mr. Troy Davis.

Where in the world are these millions of so called Christian believers to take action to avoid the killing of an innocent man. True believers in Christ would do so, but there are not many of them so far as we have been able to notice.

If some one calls herself or himself to be a “Christian believer” it does not mean always that they are true believers, because true believers would not allow it going to happen that a possible innocent man is going to be killed in the state of Georgia on October 27 and true believers would not participate a SMEAR campaign against one of the Presidential candidates.

Therefore PLEASE understand, IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty is providing all different kind of news and information, television and radio reports since 1986.

IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty is operating under LOW- and NO-budget conditions and under ARTICLE 18 and ARTICLE 19 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS.

For reason of documentation we do even publish news and information which are totally different to our own views, beliefs and faith. With most of the news and information which we do provide we do not agree in any way. Certainly we do publish news and information which are totally in contradiction to our own political views, faith or belief. ARTICLE 18 and ARTICLE 19 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the UNITED NATIONS make such things possible, so far as we do receive under BEST circumstances all different kind of information, that people, meaning our readers, viewers and listener can make their own decision.

When it comes to the point that we are getting aware of the fact that so many news and press releases have been issued against one person or organization we are making AWARE our readers, viewers and listeners of SMEAR campaigns but we do not oppress the documentation of any kind of information and news.

We are receiving a lot of news and press releases issued by the United Nations also but we are not associated with the United Nations. We are an alternative and „independent“ media meaning that financial restrictions do apply as we do operate under LOW- and NO-budget conditions and all people do know that the production of news, information, radio and television programs and all kind of different work COSTS MONEY.

After the smear campaigns against Senator Barack Obama got this worse I need to ask you hereby today to VOTE INDEPENDENT as possible. Make your vote based upon education, financial, political and social issues but DO NOT PAY ATTENTION to brainwashing SMEAR CAMPAIGNS against one of the Presidential candidates.

Perhaps you should consider that these so called „Christian propaganda“ is not even Christian, as you have learned Christian believers are supposed to love 1. The LORD our God, 2. your neighbor as thyself and even 3. to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.

Not one of the Presidential candidates is an enemy in concern of belief or faith related issues. All of the Presidential candidates are candidates for the U.S. elections in the United States of America and in this world.

Thank you!

Understanding could be a step towards peace: Islam is known worldwide as the religion of PEACE

Peace demonstrators expressed their feelings about the torture of „FREE expression of thoughts: Jesus Christ is the SLAVE of ALLAH.“ It does hurt many brothers and sisters of the religion of Islam and Peace if people in the world do believe something different.

Understanding could be a step towards peace: Islam is known worldwide as the religion of PEACE

By Andreas Klamm

Washington, D.C. / New York City. Islam is worldwide known as the religion of PEACE. So called Christian believers should be aware of the situation people which worship the religion of ISLAM which is certainly known as the „RELIGION of PEACE“ throughout the entire world, that it will not bring peace to call the people which do practice the religion of Peace as known the Islam „Jihad extremists“. These things will escalate and the bloody circle of violence will continue. Some believers of the religion of the Islam, not all of them, do believe that there is a “Jihad”, meaning a HOLY WAR, to defend the religion of Islam against the invasion of the “infidels”, meaning the “non-believers” which do refuse to worship ALLAH.

Many Muslim people have been oppressed for many years and therefore people should try to understand that faithful women and men of the religion of Islam and Peace are trying to defend their faith only and do not want to be oppressed by any kind of Christian propaganda.

If Christian believers travel to the Islam world or to countries where the religion of Islam reigns, they should keep in mind that many Muslim people do believe „that Jesus is the slave of ALLAH.“ This might be difficult to understand for those which do call themselves Christian believers. However may these people could follow the simple conclusion, that if many people which are Muslim do truly believe that „Jesus is the slave of ALLAH“, this leads to the fact that actually all Christian believers are „the slaves of Allah“, too in the belief system of some believers in the religion of the Islam.

People in countries where the peaceful religion of Islam reigns think totally different than people which do come from countries with a WESTERN background.

Therefore Christian believers might keep their faith but in Muslim countries they should for their own safety try to understand that spreading Christian propaganda is accounted as a crime which leads to the death penalty. These things are parts of the laws in countries where the religion of the Islam reigns.

Christian believers should try to understand that faith and belief can not be achieved by force. Many Christians like to spread the word about their faith. They should be aware of the danger that it is accounted as “Christian propaganda” in the countries of the Islam.

What could be very important is to try to understand the different views, faiths, beliefs and the totally different thinking of people which do live in Islamic countries. Understanding of the totally different thinking of people in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Morocco and Afghanistan could lead perhaps to a step towards peace. People from the WESTERN world should not expect that people from these countries are able to think like people which have grown up in the WESTERN civilization. People in Islamic countries have been raised under the religion of Islam for their entire life and it is a scared area. Some people which have been raised under totally different conditions do not even know what the terms “free speech” or „free expression of thoughts“ stands for. If people of the Muslim faith do kill Christian believers for the “crime of spreading Christian propaganda” many of them do believe they kill these “Christian criminals” as a service for ALLAH, meaning GOD, as translated in the Western world.”

As some people have explained me during my research, only some of people of the religion of the Islam believe that Jesus Christ was a prophet like the Prophet Muhammad , while others do believe that “Jesus is the slave of ALLAH.”

What most of the Christian believers do not understand is, that Muhammad is the central human figure of the religion of the Islam and is regarded by Muslims as the messenger and prophet of God or Allah.

If Christian believers claim that “Jesus is the messenger of God” this causes certainly a conflict and leads to bloody circles of violence and war.

The people in these countries think totally different. In London I did a special research and while doing these special research I have noticed that you can talk with people which call themselves Muslim almost about any issue, but starting to talk about Christianity could easily lead to serious conflicts, threats or even to wars because the brothers and sisters of the faith of Islam treat this as a serious violation against their faith and beliefs.

In some Muslim countries and societies Christian believers by the way are not accounted as human beings, but as “infidels” or “non-believers”, which do refuse to worship ALLAH, which have according to the law given by ALLAH to be killed.

In certain other regions where the religion of Islam reigns Christians are not accounted as human being but as pigs only and therefore Christian believers should by no means expect to have the right to live. This applies only to certain regions where the religion of the Islams reigns and applies not to all Muslim believers. This might be a quite radical view or practice to worship ALLAH. Believers of other faiths and beliefs should consider not to travel to these communities or countries for reason of their own safety.

If all of us are trying to understand these different views, faiths and beliefs we may better understand what the physics Albert Einstein has said already many years ago: “A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

In London I did not only a research on the faith and belief of the religion of the Islam. Jewish brothers and sisters have explained me that mentioning even the name „Jesus Christ“ is accounted as a crime and violation against the Jewish faith and it is strictly forbidden for brothers and sisters of the Jewish household of faith even to speak out the name of such a „prophet.“ When I have heard this statement I was first shocked, because in Germany it is a quite normal thing to speak openly about the “prophet” Jesus Christ, the Roman-Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant church and even about other religions and churches or faith based congregations of many different kind.

This is NOT the case in the religion of the Islam and in the religion of the Jewish faith. As Jewish believers have explained to me it is in some cases strictly FORBIDDEN even to mention the name of the “prophet”, which these believers do not know and they do not want to hear the name of the “prophet”. Jewish believers have explained to me that they do believe that there is a Messiah and some of the Jewish believers are waiting for the Messiah to come.

It is a different world with different views, faith and beliefs and the difficult part of understanding such things for us which have been raised in the WESTERN world is trying to understand these different views, faiths and beliefs. Most of us are not used to such things and it requires to be open minded and to be open for an inter-faith and inter-religious dialogue. This could be achieved by questioning, by listening to other people and also by understanding. As I have learned during some conversations with people with other faiths and beliefs best thing you can do is not to talk about religion, faith or belief and it does matter which one at all.

Even Christian believers have confirmed during my inter-faith and inter-religious research in the United Kingdom that “religion can not save a man or a woman” according to their understanding of their faith and belief. It is faith and belief which “could save a man or woman” according to the statement of some Christian believers “but by no means religion or traditions of men.”

Some people from India have explained me that in the country of India more then 200 different Gods and Goddesses are known and it will require perhaps many years to get some little knowledge about all the different kind of these Gods and Goddesses.

Even in the country of Germany are known other gods, such as the god Bachus. BACHUS or BACUS is a Lydian name for Dionysus, the Thracian fertility god. A son of Jupiter, he later became the god of wine. There are many other gods which are known in Germany and in the former Holy Roman Empire.

In the family tree of the Greek gods and goddesses are known many different kind of god and goddesses. There do exist gods and goddesses of so many different kind that in some cases it seems to be difficult to count all of them or it requires some time to count them.

Calling people which try to defend their beliefs and faith „Jihad extremists“ will not lead to peace but to even more bloody circles of violence and war.

Christian Aid-Worker EXECUTED after committing CRIME — Aid Worker’s Death Brutal Reminder of Jihadi Extremism

Christian Aid-Worker EXECUTED after committing CRIME
Aid Worker’s Death Brutal — Reminder of Jihadi Extremism

„We must remember that these men have a ruthless plan for the world in the form of a theocratic Islamic caliphate. In Taliban-ruled Afghanistan we saw a glimpse of their utopia: women degraded, freedom denied and followers of other brands of Islam exterminated.“ — Faith J.H. McDonnell, Director of IRD’s Religious Liberty Programs

Christian Aid-Worker EXECUTED after committing CRIME

WASHINGTON, October 21 /Christian Newswire/3mnewswire.org/– A christian Aid Worker was executed after committing the crime of spreading christian propaganda in a MUSLIM COUNTRY. Spreading christian propaganda is a crime in countries of ISLAM.

34-year-old Christian aid worker was gunned down by Taliban assailants in Kabul, Afghanistan yesterday. The militants said Gayle Williams, a dual British-South African national who helped handicapped Afghans, was killed for spreading religious propaganda.

According to the Associated Press, Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said by telephone: „We killed her for spreading Christian propaganda. This woman came to Afghanistan to teach Christianity to the people of Afghanistan. Our (leaders) issued a decree to kill this woman.“

Williams was in Afghanistan to help ease poverty as part of the British-based Christian aid organization SERVE (Serving Emergency Relief and Vocational Enterprises). She focused on community development and education and training for people with disabilities.

„It’s not the case that they preach, not at all,“ said the Rina van der Ende, a spokesperson for SERVE. „They are here to do NGO (aid) work.“

IRD Director of Religious Liberty Programs Faith J.H. McDonnell commented:

„Westerners living in pluralistic societies may struggle to understand how the Taliban could gun down an unarmed aid worker who lived to help people with disabilities. The answer is simple: these were evil men whose warped ideology justifies every evil act.

„Williams‘ fate is a reminder that extremism is much less the result of unmet material need than evidence that evil exists in the world and must be confronted.

„Unlike ordinary criminals, these extremists believed that they were operating with religious sanction. Their fanaticism must be met with condemnation, not excuse-making that Williams somehow deserved this fate because her Christian faith led her to help disabled people in a hostile land.

„This was no act by ordinary criminals, but rather an act of intimidation by cowards that preyed upon a peaceful woman.

„We must remember that these men have a ruthless plan for the world in the form of a theocratic Islamic caliphate. In Taliban-ruled Afghanistan we saw a glimpse of their utopia: women degraded, freedom denied and followers of other brands of Islam exterminated.“

WAR ON CHRISTIANITY: Radicals Threaten Christians: ‚We Will Make Our District Like Orissa‘

WAR ON CHRISTIANITY — Radicals Threaten Christians: ‚We Will Make Our District Like Orissa‘

JHARKAND, India, October 21 /Christian Newswire/ — Anti-Christian radicals in India’s Jharkand state have threatened local believers with organized violence modeled after the attempted genocide of Christians in neighboring Orissa, according to reports received by Gospel for Asia’s headquarters in Carrollton, Texas.

GFA missionary Mohan Girji was badly beaten by anti- Christian extremists on Friday. The next day, a large group of Hindu radicals gathered with the purpose of bringing Orissa’s persecution rampage to their state as well.

„We will make our district like Orissa,“ the extremists declared, referencing the state where the worst persecution against Christians erupted nearly two months ago.

The threats were accompanied by an attack on a GFA-related church and an attempt to organize the beating of two other GFA missionaries. Fortunately, the beatings were not carried out.

GFA President K.P. Yohannan called the threats totally unwarranted.

„These attacks and threats are another sign that a radical minority of Hindus are attempting to use hate and violence to keep people from knowing the love and hope found in Jesus Christ,“ Dr. Yohannan said. „I ask that all Christians pray for our brothers and sisters in Jharkand at this time–and pray for those who persecute them, that they will come to know the love of God that can free them from their captivity by the Enemy.“

The extremist group is using what they say is a mistranslation of a word in the Jharkhand-language Bible as their excuse for attacking the Christians, demanding that the word be changed. In Orissa, the rampage that has driven more than 50,000 Christians from their homes started when a Hindu swami was killed by Maost rebels. The Hindu radicals insisted that Christians killed the swami, despite the Communists claiming responsibility.

As in Orissa, the tension in Jharkand has forced the Christians in Pastor Girgi’s area to leave and gather in another location for worship.

Gospel for Asia is an evangelical mission organization based in Carrollton, Texas, involved in sharing the love of Jesus across South Asia.

Letter from the United Nations in Geneve to journalist Mr. Andreas Klamm



Letter from the United Nations in Geneve to journalist Mr. Andreas Klamm

Washington D.C. / New York City/October 21, 2008/3mnewswire.org/– . The journalist Andreas Klamm, founder of British Newsflash Magazine, IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty, MJB Mission News, ISSN 1999-8418 has officially confirmed that he has written some petitions to the United Nations offices in New York City and in Geneve. It seems that already since years he has communication with the United Nations.

„The petitions have be written in concern of human rights issues, elementary and fundamental human rights such as the right to live for all people, change of citizenship according to Article 15, Universal Declaration of the Human Rights by the United Nations (UN), targeted killing, the murder of people and other important issues. I believe it is the duty of every human being to stand up for human rights and it does not matter this much, in which countries the abuses and the serious violations against the human rights are going to happen. However even if some rich and wealthy people and certain members of the government believe they might have the right to oppress the truth and to murder people this does not mean that these people and political forces have the right to do so. This does not mean that I am anti-German. I am only against the massive abuses and violations against the human rights and this is a different and important issue.“, said Andreas Klamm.

„The petitions have be written in concern of human rights issues, elementary and fundamental human rights such as the right to live for all people, change of citizenship according to Article 15, Universal Declaration of the Human Rights by the United Nations (UN), targeted killing, the murder of people and other important issues. I believe it is the duty of every human being to stand up for human rights and it does not matter this much, in which countries the abuses and the serious violations against the human rights are going to happen. However even if some rich and wealthy people and certain members of the government believe they might have the right to oppress the truth and to murder people this does not mean that these people and political forces have the right to do so. This does not mean that I am anti-German. I am only against the massive abuses and violations against the human rights and this is a different and important issue.“, said Andreas Klamm.

Artikel 15: Weshalb ich an elementaren Menschenrechten festhalte

Artikel 15: Weshalb ich an elementaren Menschenrechten festhalte

Von Andreas Klamm

Washington, D.C. / New York / London/21. Oktober 2008/3mnewswire.org/– Für viele Menschen ist es offenbar nicht nachvollziehbar weshalb ich an der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechten der United Nations (UN, Vereinte Nationen) in New York City festhalte.

Das ist ganz sicher auch eine Frage des Glaubens und des Gewissens. Obgleich ich nur Journalist, Autor und Moderator und kein Jurist bin, glaube ich daran, dass die Allgmeine universelle Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen weltweit und damit auch in Deutschland gültig ist. Kein Mensch wird wohl bestreiten, dass auch Deutschland ein Teil der Welt ist.

Von Geburt an, bin ich Französisch-Deutscher Bürger, ein Fakt, den keine Macht in dieser Welt auch die deutsche Bundesregierung und die mächtigste Frau der Welt, laut dem US-Magazin FORBES, Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel (CDU), nicht ändern kann.

Im Jahr 1950 gab mir meine Großmutter, Martha Kolacz ein Beispiel dem ich beabsichtige zu folgen. Sie verliess Deutschland im Jahr 1950 für immer und wurde im State of Victoria in der Stadt Melbourne, Australien, Staatsbürgerin von Australien. Wenn mir jetzt also gewisse Menschen in Deutschland versuchen zu erklären, dass ein Wechsel der Staatsbürgerschaft nicht möglich ist, dann bin ich der Überzeugung, dass dies schlichtweg eine Lüge ist.

Schon mittels Gen-Tests und anderer Beweise ist es NACHWEISBAR, dass mein Großvater, Haedi Sabaot, Französischer Staatsbürger war, der in einem anderen Kontinent, ausserhalb von Europa geboren wurde. Die Beweise, dass mein Grossvater Französischer Offizier und 1945 in Kaiserslautern in Deutschland stationiert war, liegen den deutschen und französischen Behörden NACHWEISBAR bereits vor.

Das Land das ich bevorzuge heißt United States of America (U.S.A.), in deutscher Sprache Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika.

Im Artikel 15 der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (United Nation, UN) heisst es so wörtlich:

„Artikel 15

1. Jeder hat das Recht auf eine Staatsangehörigkeit.
2. Niemandem darf seine Staatsangehörigkeit willkürlich entzogen noch das Recht versagt werden, seine Staatsanghörigkeit zu wechseln.

Quelle: http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/ger.htm,

http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/eng.htm

Meiner persönlichen Auffassung nach sind die Angaben im Absatz 1 und Absatz 2 des Artikel 15 so eindeutig, dass ich an meinem Wunsch und Standpunkt festhalte.

1. Ich möchte die deutsche Staastbürgerschaft in die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft wechseln.

2. Zudem lehne ich es ab im Falle meines Todes in Deutschland beerdigt zu werden.

3. Erkläre ich hiermit erneut in aller Deutlichkeit die Distanzierung von den politischen Ereignissen in Deutschland, etwa der massiven Verletzung von Menschenrechten, der Verletzung der Meinungs- Presse- und Informationsfreiheit, der Verletzung der Relgions- Gewissens- und Glaubensfreiheit, der vorsätzlichen Diffamierung von Menschen in Armut und Not, der Verfolgung von Menschen in Not, der Verfolgung von Menschen aus Glaubens- Gewissen und politischen Gründen.

4. Zudem versichere ich hiermit erneut, dass ich mich ausdrücklich GEGEN MEINEN WILLEN in Deutschland befinde, in einem Land, in meiner Überzeugung nach viele Menschen, GOTT sei DANK nicht alle Menschen, in vielen Bereichen Menschenwürde und Menschenrechte verachtet und massiv verletzten.

An diesen Wünschen und Standpunkten halte ich fest.

Für den Fall, dass Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel (CDU) die sofortige Auflösung der United Nations (UN, Vereinte Nationen) erklären sollte und bekannt geben sollte, dass die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte in Deutschland für Französisch – Deutsche Bürger und für die Menschen in Deutschland keine Gültigkeit in Deutschland hat, werde ich eine internationale Prüfung beantragen, ob eine solche Erklärung rechtlich möglich ist und ob mittels einer solchen Erklärung es möglich ist, die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (UN, United Nations) ausser Kraft zu setzen.

Über die Erklärungen und Hinweise, zahlreicher Menschen und Behörden, dass ich keinen Anspruch auf die Inanspruchnahme der Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte in Deutschland haben soll, kann ich mich nur sehr wundern und ich kann nur zur Überzeugung gelangen, dass diese Erklärungen und Hinweise doch mehr als ?sonderbar? sind. Faktisch bedeutet dies, dass mir doch allen Ernstes einige Menschen erklären wollen, dass elementare und fundamentale Menschenrechte in Deutschland keine Gültigkeit haben.

Nach zahlreichen Recherchen und nach dem was in der Proklamation der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinte Nationen im Jahr 1948 deklarariert wurde, kann ich hiermit nur eindeutig feststellen, dass ich zur Überzeugung gelangt bin, dass die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (United Nations, UN) universell gültig ist und damit auch in Deutschland.

Dass Anhänger der Nazis in Deutschland sicherlich nicht die Freunde der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (UN, United Nations) sein können, kann ich verstehen, doch die Nazis in Deutschland sollten bitte nicht erwarten, dass ich deren Standpunkte zu meinen Standpunkten machen könnte.

Daher appelliere ich ausdrücklich auch an die deutschen Nazis: „Es gibt nun wahrlich nicht viele Menschen, die so behaarlich wie ich, die euer Land verlassen wollen. Lasst uns doch einfach gehen, dann wird es keine weiteren Diskussionen über die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (UN, United Nations) in Deutschland mehr geben und ihr könnt euch in eurem Deutschland wohl fühlen, ohne die Menschen, die die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (UN, United Nations), Demokratie, Freiheit, Meinungs- Presse- und Informations-Freiheit für sich beanspruchen.“

Meine Überzeugung ist, dass jeder Mensch das Recht auf Leben, auf Glaubens- Gewissen- und Religionsfreiheit hat und dass jeder Mensch auch das Recht hat, aus Glaubens- Gewissens- und politischen Gründen einen Antrag auf den Wechsel der Staatsbürgerschaft zu stellen, die Staatsbürgerschaft zu wechseln und Deutschland auch für immer zu verlassen.

Es gibt nicht einen einzigen Grund dafür, der mich überzeugen könnte, in Deutschland bleiben zu wollen. Sicher bin ich kein Gegner von Deutschland, ich bin auch nicht anti-deutsch, doch ich bin DEFINITIV GEGEN die Verletzung und Verachtung der Menschenwürde, Menschenrechte, Meinungs- Presse- und Informations-Freiheit von vielen Menschen in Deutschland.

Unerfüllbare Forderungen kann ich NICHT erfüllen. Ohne einen einzigen Cent, ist es nicht möglich zu reisen, noch nicht einmal von Heidelberg nach Erfurt.

In diesem Land, in dem so viel Leid meinen jüdischen Brüdern und Schwestern, christlichen Brüdern und Schwestern, Roma, Sinti, politischen Gefangenen, Kriegs-Gefangenen, Journalisten, Autoren, Nonnen, Geistlichen und auch SPD-Politikern zugefügt wurde und zugefügt wird, kann ich mich beim besten Willen schon aus Glaubens- Gewissens- und auch aus politischen Gründen nicht wohl fühlen. Für meine Überzeugungen, Standpunkte und Entscheidungen bitte ich um Verständnis.

Die Entscheidung ist eindeutig und definitiv: Wechsel der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft in die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft und Deutschland verlassen. Im Oktober 2007 habe ich beim U.S. Department for Justice in Washington, D.C., Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika einen entsprechen Antrag schriftlich gestellt und auch daran halte ich fest.

Daher halte ich an der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen fest und beanspruche diese auch für mich.

How global economy works

How global economy works

By Andreas Klamm

New York./October 20, 2008/3mnewswire.org/– Since 19 months I am on investigation how international and global economy works:

Here is the first simple answer which is easy to understand for everyone and this is one of my shortest articles which I have written since 24 years, since 1984 when I became the first time a journalist.

The formula is this simple:

1. no money = 2. no food, = 3. no rights, no education = 4. no human rights = 5. danger for life / starvation = 6. no medical care = 7. no hope = 8. no peace = 9. fights (even within local communities, only the stronger will survive, people say in Germany) = 10. war = 11. no trade = 12. no economy = 13. global war 14. nuclear disaster and the end of human mankind and the world as we know it.

An international known author has given to me the tip of these facts during a telephone conversation he has said: “Poor people have no rights and no human rights”. At time we had this phone conversation my answer was “You must be wrong because the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the United Nations in 1948 in New York City, United States of America states and says something different…”

However 19 months ago I have started an investigative research and I have come to the knowledge this far, that the author and founder of an international human rights organization has told me a part of the truth, which is not only sad but disturbing also.

The statement which I have heard many times during questioning people on the streets in Germany “…only the stronger or the strongest will survive…” (is leading to the conclusion that all other human beings have to die) is the proof how evil human beings in many cases are. For children, poor women and disabled or sick men elderly people there is just no place or room on this planet earth except the grave yard.

Media project Human Rights Reporters

Media project Human Rights Reporters

This is a new additional service of the international media project Human Rights Reporters, which has been founded in 2006 by the journalist and author of several books, Andreas Klamm.

The services are in the process of being updated.

The danger of spies is little: Free thinking and free communication will be censored or even forbidden

The danger of spies is little:

Free thinking and free communication will be censored or even forbidden

By Andreas Klamm

New York / London/3mnewswire.org/– Many people in the United States of America and in Germany are so much worried about the fact that government institutions and huge massive telecommunication companies could spy on them.

In Germany people are very well used to the total observation by the German intelligence services such as the Gestapo during the years 1933 to 1945 and the STASI during the years 1945 to 1990. This is not new to the people in Germany that companies and governmental organization do spy on them since many years already.

The danger is surely that if telecommunications companies do spy constantly on managers, military forces members, politicians and other people these people which have been “monitored” could easily become a victim of an extortion.

In summer 2008 it has been discovered that the biggest German telecommunication company has spied on journalists, managers, politicians and actually all people in Germany. The new so called Anti-Terror laws made it easily going to happen that about 82 million people in Germany are accounted as “potential terrorists” in Germany and the German military will have to fight against German citizen. Imagine the poor German soldier which will receive the order “Shoot her, shoot your grandma, daughter, neighbor as German soldiers usually follow simply the instructions which are given by commanders, “order is order”.” The German soldiers will be polite and friendly and tell their daughters, sons and grandparents: “Sorry, but order is order, I have to kill you”. As they did during they years in 1933 to 1945. German soldiers have been this brave that they have tried to attack Russia, knowing very well that there is no chance to win the war against Russia.

If there would be 82 million people terrorists in Germany this certainly could be a real threat to national security in Germany. But how realistic is it going to happen that 82 million people in Germany will be on the payroll of the Al-Qaeda network and Osama bin Laden (Usāmah bin Muḥammad bin Awaḍ bin Lādin). Does he know already about this massive rise in membership of his terror network?

Who in the world would believe that 260 million American citizen could be in the future willing to sign in as members with the Al-Qaeda network as this seems to be the thing which some political forces want us to believe. Would Osama bin Laden be able to handle this situation?

It was not a real shocking news that the German parliament has decided about one week ago that the German military known as Bundeswehr will used in the upcoming war against democracy and demonstrators such as peace demonstrators in Germany

The German citizen or the people are used already to this circumstances, the use of the German military against citizen of Germany already since 2007. During the G8 summit in Heiligendamm military combat air craft and military combat vehicle have been used to “observe” the opposition and demonstrators against the G8 summit and many preemptive raids by massive police forces have been noticed.

Ii it a really a coincident only? In 1937 the German military called in the dark ages from 1933 to 1945 Wehrmacht has used against the opposition which have been not willing to support the Nazi-Terror-Regime and in many places in Germany the still so beloved the “Fuehrer – Adolf the Great”, better known as Adolf Hitler.

What people in the United States of America (U.S.A.) and in Germany might perhaps not be aware of is the fact that some so called “world elite thinkers” do believe that free thinking and free communication of any kind between many or all people has to be censored or to be prohibited.

Is this something new?. Maybe or should I write “Mayday, mayday, mayday !” in the meaning of Mayday which is an emergency code word used internationally as a distress signal in voice procedure radio communications.

It derives from the French venez m’aider, meaning ‚come help me‘. It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency by many groups, such as police forces, pilots, the fire brigade, and transportation organizations. The call is always given three times in a row („Mayday Mayday Mayday“) to prevent mistaking it for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual mayday call from a message about a mayday call, according to wikipedia.

So far as some people do remember the speech of one, known as Adolf Hitler which has sad that Germany shall be above all.

„Electric wires, high and double
Won’t let you Mom – you won’t see your daughter
So don’t believe those censored letters of mine
cause the truth is different; but don’t cry, Mom.
And if you would like to seek out your child’s trace
Don’t ask anyone, don’t knock anywhere:
look for the ashes in the fields of Auschwitz
It will be there.  But don’t cry – enough of bitterness here.
And if you would like to discover your child’s trace
look for the ashes in the fields of Birkenau
They’ll be there – so look for the ashes
In the fields of Auschwitz, in the woods of Birkenau,
Mom, look for the ashes – I’ll be there!“

As you are able to read, to censor even letters from German concentration camps is not new to people in Germany. The victims of the Nazi-Terror-Regime can tell you real stories of any kind. Monika Dombke is only one of the victims of the German Nazi Holocaust and during 1933 to 1945 millions have people have been killed.

People in Germany are even used to mass murder also. In World War II 50 million people have been slaughtered, murdered or killed. It does not really matter how you call the fact that 50 million people are dead.

During 1933 to 1945 the victims of the Nazi regime have been burned in the crematory and you should not wonder if these things still continue going to happen in the so called “good old Germany”.

Germany is no doubt so very special and perhaps it is already truly above all as Hitler during his famous speeches has declared. Germany could be so easily even above the U.S presidency .

As long as people in the United States of America do not desire to live in the future in a country which most of the American citizen do not even know, the United States of Germany with its capital city Washington, D.C., they should consider to fight as peaceful as possible for liberty, democracy, peace and justice. Otherwise 260 million American citizen will face the consequences what it means to be a slave under torture in Germany.

The U.S. magazine Forbes has published three years in continuation that the German chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel “…is the most powerful woman on earth…”. In a public speech in 2005 the German chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel has declared in the future “…will Germany not able anymore to afford the luxury of a democracy…”. Only a short time after Adolf Hitler has said a similar thing, the world was engaged in World War II.

About the up coming stone age

One of my favorite writers, Albert Einstein has made the statements: „A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

If free communication will be censored or even forbidden, how in the world understanding shall be possible?

On November 4, 2008 it will be election day in the United States of America. Spend only 10 seconds on the strange idea that the German chancellor known as the most powerful woman on earth will take control over the U.S. presidency. She would be the very first emperor in charge of the European Union (500 million people) and the United States of Germany (260 million people) which has been known until the year 2008 as the United States of America (U.S.A.).

Perhaps people should consider if they truly want to become an inmate of some kind of concentration camp and will end up in a crematory.

The serious question which needs to be asked: Is this world during a global financial crisis truly able to afford the luxury of country known as Germany which could be above all?

Andreas Klamm, journalist and author since 1984 is the founder and director of IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty (Leeds, England, United Kingdom, 1986), Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty, British Newsflash Magazine (1986) and Grace MedCare Ltd. London, United Kingdom, (October 2006). IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty is supporting international understanding since 1986 and there are hundreds of witnesses. In October 2007 with the U.S Department for Justice, Washington, D.C he has requested the change of the German citizenship into the American citizenship for reason of belief, faith, conscience and political reason. He is in opposition to the German political decisions such as the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places. He is against his will in Germany. Since 19 months access to any kind of medical treatment and even to dentists is not possible. He has written and published several books. His grandfather is Black-African, was a former French-Army officer and is a French citizen. His total income for the year 2007 have been 437,– Euro for the entire year. He had to pay federal tax for the total income of 437,–. Euro for an entire year in 2007. He said recently,”…that he wants NOT to support the Nazi ideology and that Human Rights or social security do count nothing in Germany. If you are poor in Germany it actually means that you are not accounted even as a human being or in other words by no means poor people have any rights in Germany. I do know what I am talking about. If I would have any rights I would be allowed to leave the country which I do in not like. Many people in Germany have a great joy to kill children, women and disabled men. After three accidents in 1993, 1994, 1995 I am physically disabled. For 22 years I have paid all tax of all kind of medical, social and even unemployment insurance and federal tax. However I do receive nothing ! Disabled and poor people have no rights and the paper the so called human rights are written on is not worth one single cent in Germany. In 2007 he was questioned by German Police. The right for defense of an attorney was denied. You see if I mean no right, I mean absolutely no human rights, even not the right to be defended by an attorney. This is Germany and you should know this. The day when G-d will judge the earth and all which dwell on this earth is coming and G-D himself will take care of these and other things. People are laughing at me and other victims but they will stop their laughter the day when G-D himself will judge all which dwell in this world. Be certain, the judge will judge, even the judges. — Nazis do bother me. It seems crystal clear all they know is how to kill children, women, poor people and disabled men…”

Human Rights: „Live together“ – a photo art work by Andreas Klamm


Human Rights: „Live together“ – a photo art work by Andreas Klamm

London/3mnewswire.org/October 12, 2008. The journalist, broadcast journalist, host of „3mnewswire.org, Liberty and Peace NOW!, XXL-info.“ and author of several books, Andreas Klamm, has released a new photo art work in concern of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights by the United Nations, (UN, New York, City) which will be celebrated in December 2008.

Andreas Klamm has said: „With my photo art work I want to express and share my political view that even if we are enemies we have to live together on planet earth as in the entire universe can be not found many planets which are called earth. Therefore I do come to the conclusion that only one planet earth does exist with many people which all have equal rights. Certainly I am a supporter of the idea that all human beings and people no matter where they do live and do come from have equal human rights.“

His photo art work about human rights surprisingly has been published even in a German paper this month.

Andreas Klamm, journalist and author, broadcasting host, photo and tv journalist likes to share his political views in photo art works also. The photo art work created by Andreas Klamm is providing in the German language the message: „We have to live together. If anyone is going his own way it will be soon too late…, Human Rights are valid for all people! No chance for the Nazi terror. In memory of the victims of the Nazi terror from 1933 and 1945 and in memory for those which have got killed because of the Nazi Terror after 1945. 1948 – 2008, 60th anniversary of the declaration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 by the United Nations.“

The Voice Refugee Forum: Jugendamt Vogtlandkreis verweigert Kindern Kontakt zur Mutter

Jugendamt Vogtlandkreis verweigert Kindern Kontakt zur Mutter
Aufruf zur Unterstützung von Claudia Omoroghomwan

„Sie zerstören meine Kinder, sie helfen ihnen nicht. Wenn wir uns dagegen wehren, machen sie uns noch mehr Schwierigkeiten. Es gibt kein Menschenrecht.“ Ein Zitat von Claudia Omoroghomwan

Berlin / Reichenbach.. (and /red). Die Karawane für die Rechte der Flüchtlinge und MigrantInnen fordert die Familienzusammenführung von Sophia, Sandra und Sonia Omoroghomwan mit ihrer Mutter Claudia und ihrer Schwester Dammiana.

Am Donnerstag, den 2. Oktober 2008, kam eine Delegation der Aktionskonferenz zum 10-jährigen Bestehens der Karawane von Weimar nach Reichenbach (Vogtlandkreis), um die Solidarität der Karawane mit Claudia Omoroghomwan aus Nigeria und ihren Kindern Sonia, Sandra und Sofia zum Ausdruck zu bringen.

Die Mädchen sind der Mutter in den letzten Wochen unter formalen Vorwänden durch das Familiengericht Plauen und das Jugendamt Vogtlandkreis entzogen worden, offensichtlich in der Absicht, sie von ihr zu entfremden. Sie sind nunmehr gezwungen, völlig isoliert von ihrer einzigen Bezugsperson zu leben. Die Karawane protestierte gegen diese Trennung mit einer Kundgebung.

Beim Gedanken an die Kundgebung fühlten sich Ausländerbehörde und Jugendamt offensichtlich nicht sehr wohl, denn aus inhaltlich nicht überzeugenden Gründen wurde die Auflage erteilt, die Veranstaltung einige Straßenzüge außerhalb der Fußgängerzone zwischen Bäumen und Autos und ohne Publikum stattfinden zu lassen.

Nach kurzer Rede wurde die Versammlung beendet. Danach wurden in der Fußgängerzone die Informationen über das Vorgehen der Behörden gegen Frau Omoroghomwan verbreitet. Viele Menschen nahmen die Informationen interessiert auf, einige sagten sofort, dass sie die Proteste für die Familie unterstützen werden..

Laut der Organisation Karawane habe die lokale Presse an diesem Tag bereits einen diffamierenden Artikel gedruckt. Die Menschen in Reichenbach konnten jetzt die direkte Informationen und die Hintergründe durch die Delegation der Karawane und durch Caudia Omoroghomwan selbst erfahren.

Der Besuch von Vertretern der Karawande beim Jugendamt löste Reaktionen wie „ich weiß von nichts“, „ich habe damit nichts zu tun“, „der Chef ist verantwortlich — ist aber nicht da“ aus.

Die Protestaktion in Reichenbach ist der Auftakt einer breiten Kampagne für die Familie Omoroghomwan sein.

Die Organisation fordert die sofortige Wiedervereinigung von Sophia, Sandra und Sonia
Omoroghomwan mit ihrer Mutter Claudia und ihrer Schwester Dammiana.

Die Menschenrechte-Organisation bittet um Unterstützung der Kampagne, indem Unterstützer auch Telefonate führen oder Briefe, E-mails oder den unten stehenden Vorschlag für ein Fax an die Leitung des Jugendamts und an den Leiter Abteilung Inneres im Regierungsbezirk Chemnitz schicken.

Die Organisation bittet Sie eine Kopie von Petitionen oder Schreiben auch an das Familiengericht in Plauen zu senden, das demnächst die Frage der Vormundschaft über die Kinder verhandeln wird und zudem auch eine Kopie an: The VOICE Refugee Forum, Schillergässchen 5, 07745 Jena, Telefon : 0176 24 56 89 88 zu schicken.

Menschenrechtsbeauftragter Nooke fordert Abschaffung der Todesstrafe

Menschenrechtsbeauftragter Nooke fordert Abschaffung der Todesstrafe

Berlin. (red). 10. Oktober 2008. Zum Welttag gegen die Todesstrafe am 10. Oktober erklärte der Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Menschenrechtspolitik und Humanitäre Hilfe, Günter Nooke, am 09. Oktober:

„Wir begehen in diesem Jahr zum sechsten Mal den Welttag gegen die Todesstrafe, der gleichzeitig auch der europäische Tag gegen die Todesstrafe ist. Das Recht auf Leben wurde bereits in der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte unter ausdrücklichen Schutz gestellt. In Kürze werden wir den 60. Jahrestag der Verabschiedung der Allgemeinen Erklärung durch die VN-Generalversammlung feiern. Dies muss für uns einmal mehr Ansporn sein, mit aller Kraft für die vollständige Abschaffung der Todesstrafe in der Welt einzutreten.

Deutschland setzt sich gemeinsam mit seinen Partnern in der Europäischen Union seit Jahren energisch für die Abschaffung der Todesstrafe ein. Im vergangenen Jahr konnte durch die Annahme der Resolution für ein weltweites Moratorium der Todesstrafe in der VN-Generalversammlung ein bedeutender Erfolg erzielt werden.

Ich begrüße ausdrücklich, dass in diesem Jahr Albanien, Argentinien, die Cook-Inseln und Usbekistan die Todesstrafe vollständig abgeschafft haben. Dennoch müssen wir feststellen, dass viele Staaten weiter an der Kapitalstrafe festhalten. Dabei kommt es auch zu besonders grausamen Formen der Hinrichtung oder der Vollstreckung der Todesstrafe an Personen, die zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Straftat minderjährig waren, wie z.B. in Iran. Dies ist auf das Schärfste zu verurteilen.“

Rape for grades: The shocking reality for world’s schoolgirls

Rape for grades: The shocking reality for world’s schoolgirls

New York/ October 7, 2008/3mnewswire.org//– Girls as young as ten are being forced to have sex by their teachers to pass exams, and threatened with poor grades and failure if they refuse, according to a groundbreaking report on school violence published today by Plan.

The report is part of Plan’s “Learn Without Fear” campaign, designed to end all forms of violence against children in schools. It shows that sexual violence is institutionalised in many schools throughout Africa with many teachers ruthlessly exploiting pupils by demanding sex.

Most victims are too scared, ashamed, or traumatised to speak out and school authorities are often unwilling to investigate accusations. The problem is not just confined to Africa. The report also reveals shocking evidence of sexual abuse in Latin America and Asia. In many places, the issue is compounded by cultural attitudes towards women and girls that make it extremely difficult for victims to resist their attackers or get justice.

Sexually assaulted

Ana, 19 from El Salvador, had been abandoned by her parents and was not yet a teenager when she was sexually assaulted by her teacher. She said: “My grandma put me in school and always told me to obey my teacher. I grew up thinking that if I didn’t obey my teacher I would be punished.

“When my teacher asked me to stay with him after class I obeyed, and I obeyed when he asked me to allow him to touch me because he said that he was like a father to me and that he had to teach me fatherly things because I didn’t have a father. I was 10 or 11 at that time and I thought he cared about me much more than my own parents because he had never left me.”

Sexual assault is just one form of violence in school that affects millions of children throughout the world. Each year, it’s estimated more than 350,000,000 children fall victim to some form of violence in school: the sheer scale of the problem not only affects the individual’s personality, mental and physical health, and future potential but also has a knock-on effect for their families, communities and national economies. Violence in schools ruins the one real chance of a better and more prosperous life for many children, and denies the communities and countries of a vital national asset. And all this is going on everyday, everywhere in schools that are supposed to nurture and protect them.

Comprehensive report

The report, the most comprehensive global examination of school violence yet, focuses on 3 major areas: sexual violence, rape for grades; corporal punishment – beatings, kicking, and humiliation; and bullying. Girls are more likely to be victims of sexual violence, while boys bear the brunt of corporal punishment.

Victims of violence in school are more likely to commit suicide than their classmates. Many die as a direct result of their injuries, or as a consequence of the violence, for example because of pregnancy complications or AIDS. Bullied girls are eight times more likely to be suicidal than their peers.

A Plan spokesperson said: “This report presents shocking and irrefutable evidence that children across the globe are regularly sexually and physically abused by the very adults who have a duty to protect them. Violence in schools is too often viewed as acceptable or necessary by education authorities, parents and governments. But, the evidence uncovered shows it causes lasting mental and physical suffering. Violence is an outrageous violation of children’s fundamental rights. Education is supposed to unlock children’s’ potential not condemn them to an uncertain and vulnerable future.

“We all have a role, whether as individuals, governments, or INGOs, to make sure that children can go to school without fear or threat of violence and receive a quality education in a safe and secure environment. Learn Without Fear” may be Plan’s campaign, but it’s everyone’s responsibility. Ending violence in schools is in all our interest.”

Regional launches

Plan’s campaign will begin with 4 regional launches in Bangkok, Thailand; Nairobi, Kenya; Dakar, Senegal; and Cartagena, Colombia, with additional spokespersons in London and other European capitals. Key aims of the campaign include:

– Persuading governments to outlaw all forms of violence against children in school, including corporal punishment and to enforce those laws
– Working with school leaders and teachers create violence-free schools and promote alternative discipline methods to corporal punishment
– Creating a global momentum for change including increased resources from international donors and governments to tackle violence in schools in developing countries
– During the 3 year campaign, Plan will work directly with at least 5,000 schools in 40 countries to tackle violence.

Media linked to action key for gender justice

Media linked to action key for gender justice

By Rebekah Chevalier, Canada

Toronto/New York./3mnewswire.org/WACC/October 8, 2008. “The media has huge and largely untapped power to promote and protect gender justice,” Joanne Sandler told Congress during a keynote presentation 7 October. Sandler is Deputy Executive Director-Program for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).

As an example of the power of media she told the story of Mukhtar Mai from Pakistan, who was gang raped and, with the assistance of friends, was able to get the word out to local and international media, shaming the authorities into action.

Sandler paid tribute to the work WACC has been doing in monitoring how the media portrays women, a portrayal that is still abysmal. She showed a clip from the video Sexism Sells, which shows the stunningly sexist way American journalists have covered American politician Hillary Clinton.

To change the way media portrays women requires accountability. This means that power-holders must be answerable for policies and resources that protect women’s rights and that they must take corrective action. An important tool is what Sandler calls “purposeful media”—media that links people to action. Sandler shared the work of Breakthrough, an international human rights organization that has done some significant purposeful media in India. The Indian government passed a law on domestic violence but it was not being implemented adequately. Breakthrough created a TV commercial called “ring the bell,” that encouraged men and women to intervene to undertake simple acts like ringing a doorbell to stop domestic violence.

UNIFEM has also been experimenting with communications technologies to galvanize action. Its “Say No to Violence” campaign asks people to visit the website www.saynotoviolence.org and support the campaign with the click of a mouse. “These examples do not represent fundamental institutional transformation in the media,” Sandler acknowledged. As one of the ways to achieve this, she recommended that social justice groups produce media content on gender issues with the same polished quality that people are used to seeing in mainstream media. Partnerships are also key to transformation. “We can’t do this alone,” she said. “Working together, finding a way to bring synergy…is a precondition for making the kind of change we want to see.”

Two Filipino broadcasters receive death threats

Two Filipino broadcasters receive death threats

New York./3mnewswire.org/October 9, 2008 According to CMFR two radio broadcast journalist have received death threats.

Two Filipino radio broadcasters based in the southern island of Mindanao received death threats after reporting alleged extortion activities involving some local government officials.

Erin Lumosbog of RPN-9’s radio station dxKT-Radyo Ronda (Roving Radio) Davao and James Pala of dxAM-Radyo Rapido (Rapid Radio) said they received the threats on their mobile phones telling them to stop discussing alleged extortion activities by some councilors of the municipality of Santa Cruz in Davao del Sur, an Inquirer.net 7
October report said.

In a phone interview with the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) last 8 October, Lumosbog said the threats came after he discussed on his radio program allegations by a local businessman that some municipal council members had asked him for P1.2 million (approx. USD 25,586) in exchange for their approval of
his request to quarry in their jurisdiction.

The businessman was able to raise only P480,000 (approx. USD 10,235). His request was denied. The businessman approached the media for help when the councilors allegedly refused to return his P480,000.

Inquirer.net quoted one of the messages as saying, „If you will not stop doing commentaries on the Santa Cruz issue, bullets might force you to stop.“ Lumosbog tried calling the numbers used to send him the threats but all had been deactivated.

Lumosbog continues to discuss the issue in his radio program but said he is taking precautionary measures. „If we let the threats affect us, our radio program will be ruined,“ he said in Filipino. He explained that he has lessened his field activities and is staying in a „safe house.“

„We have been asking the councilors to explain their side,“ Lumosbog said in Filipino. But he said the councilors seem to be avoiding the media. „When we went to see the councilors allegedly involved, they suddenly disappeared from the session hall,“ he said.

There is an ongoing investigation on the alleged extortion activities. Santa Cruz municipal mayor Joel Ray Lopez told Inquirer.net that several businessmen did „(decide) to withdraw their investments (in Santa Cruz) because some councilors were
asking money from them in exchange for some favors.“

Media group calls for peaceful solution – reporters injured in Bangkok dispersal operations

Media group calls for peaceful solution – reporters injured in Bangkok dispersal operations

New York. October 8, 2008 /3mnewswire.org/– The Thai Journalist Association (TJA) a founding member of SEAPA has issued in a press statement a call for a peaceful solution. Reporters have been injured in Bangkok dispersal operations.

In the statement TJA urges all sides to stop using violence and focus on finding a peaceful solution to the current crisis.

The Thai Journalists Association (TJA) would like to express grave concern over the violent incidents and the ensuing injuries and damages caused by several clashes between policemen who fired tear gas and the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) demonstrators who surrounded the Parliament building in the morning of 7 October to
prevent the lawmakers from convening.

The Association believes that the use of violence to disperse the demonstrators and the demonstrators‘ equally violent response would only cause the situation to spin out of control.

TJA urges all sides to stop using violence and instead pause to review their respective positions in order to look for a peaceful solution to the on-going political conflict.

The Association is also concerned with the safety of the reporters in the field given that many of them were injured in this incident.

The Thai Journalist Association has issued in its statement: „We appeal to all sides to understand the difficulty facing the reporters in bringing about the truth to the public and urge reporters to exercise caution while covering the on-going conflict.

People need to be informed about their human rights and they need to know how to claim their human rights

People need to be informed about their human rights and they need to know how to claim their human rights

By Andreas Klamm

New York / London / Paris. People need to be informed about their human rights and they need education in human rights. Thomas Hammarberg, Council of Europe Commssioner for Human Rights has published a statement in concern of the human rights and how people should claim their humman rights.

Thomas Hammarberg, Council of Europe Commissioner for the Human Rights has declared:

„Human rights can only be realized if people are informed about their rights and know how to use them. Education about human rights is therefore central to the effective implementation of the agreed standards. While this was emphasized 60 years ago when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted, we are still far from ensuring that people know their rights and understand how to claim them.

The good news is that human rights education is receiving much needed attention at the European or international level. Resolutions have been adopted, conferences held and action plans issued by the United Nations agencies, not least UNESCO. The Council of Europe is particularly active in this field. Non-governmental organizations have also initiated valuable programs.

The current challenge remains one of translating these recommendations into concrete action at the national level. Human rights education needs to be more than a simple repetition of the various legal conventions with little explanation as to their relevance to ordinary people in their daily lives.

My experience is that a number of governments have not given sufficient priority to human rights education in schools. The allocated time is limited and the pedagogic methods unsuitable. The emphasis has been on preparing the pupils for the labour market rather than developing life skills which would incorporate human rights values.

More worryingly, it seems that some governments fear that a human rights approach in the schools could breed unwanted criticism and even undermine government policies. This is an undemocratic and short-sighted attitude. Educating citizens in their human rights creates an informed society which in turn strengthens democracy. For the Council of Europe, therefore, human rights education is crucially important.

International actors should focus efforts on assisting countries to develop their own programs, with education materials tailored to the particular needs of individual countries. The UN World Programe for Human Rights Education, which started in 2005, aims to give guidance on how such national efforts can be planned and enforced. ‚Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights‘, one of the projects currently being run by the Council of Europe, builds on the experience of a network of national coordinators.

An European resource centre on education for intercultural understanding, human rights and democratic citizenship (the European Wergeland Centre) will open in the autumn in Oslo. The centre will carry out and support research, provide in-service training for teachers and disseminate information and serve as platform and meeting place for relevant actors. Countries can indeed learn from one another.

The school system will certainly remain at the root of making young generations aware of their rights and how to use them. Not only should the school provide the key facts about human rights norms and the mechanisms for their protection, it also has a vital role to play in fostering values such as respect for others, non-discrimination, gender equality and democratic participation.

Inter-cultural understanding and respect have to be stressed in such learning. When the Convention on the Rights of the Child lists values to be promoted, it makes special mention of respect for ‚the national values of the country in which the child is living, the country from which he or she may originate, and for civilizations different from his or her own‘. Human right education should therefore be committed to an inclusive approach to societal diversity (1).

School curricula, education materials, pedagogic methods and the training of teachers have to be in conformity with such ambitions. At the same time, it is crucial that life in schools benefits from a human rights atmosphere. ! There should be both ‚human rights through education‘ and ‚human rights in education‘.

The school itself must demonstrate that it takes human rights seriously. Pupils should be welcome to express their views and to participate in the running of the school as much as possible. The atmosphere in school should be characterized by mutual understanding, respect and responsibility between all actors. I have seen such schools and noticed that they tend to function much better than those run on an authoritarian model. Pupils learn social and other life skills, not only facts.

Teachers and principals have a key role for developing such schools. In addition, they need the support of local and central authorities and not least the Ministry of Education. Educational policies should promote a rights-based approach. Teacher training for all teachers, regardless of their specialization, should be conceived along this model. Pedagogic methods should be promoted which are democratic and participatory and the textbooks and other education material should be consistent with human rights values.

The fact that many children now spend more time with screens than with teachers (or with their parents) also affects human rights learning. While the technology is value-neutral, the messages picked up or sent may not be. Efforts by the school in the field of human rights may be undermined by impressions on the screen, often dictated by purely commercial interests.

The school has to relate to the supply on the net and be prepared to take the necessary discussions. However, as important is that human rights thinking and discussion is provided through the new media – which certainly is a major challenge in the light of the commercial and private nature of the media landscape.

Extra efforts are also required in order to ensure that minorities and disadvantaged groups are reached in human rights education programs. This requires that basic materials are produced in relevant languages, teachers are recruited from within these communities and that the pedagogic methods are culturally adapted.

Respecting human rights, disseminating information on the existing standards and making people aware about their rights are commitments which states have willingly entered into. These words should be put into deeds.“

Umweltaktivistin erlebt Zwangsanschluss: Briesensee und Doris Groger

Umweltaktivistin erlebt Zwangsanschluss:

Briesensee und Doris Groger

Zur Wachsamkeit mahnt Reinhard May in seinem Lied –
Die Menschenrechte-Organisation PER ASPERA tut das seit Jahrzehnten und erträgt dafür bittere Sanktionen des Staates

Kommentar von Michael Heise

Berlin. Im Oktober 2008 begeht die Menschenrechte-Organisation die Feierlichkeit zum 40jährigen Bestehen des internationalen Schreibdienstes für die Menschenrechte, der unter anderem in Deutschland, Nord Amerika, in Pakistan und in Asien wirkt. Die Menschenrechte-Organisation und der internationale Schreibdienst für die Menschenwürde Per Aspera wurde im Oktober 1968 gegründet.

Damals wie heute gibt es eine erschreckend hohe Anzahl von Ereignissen, die zeigen wie elementare Menschenrechte und die Würde von Menschen massiv verletzt werden.

Das Beispiel einer Frau, die Opfer von Willkür und Menschenrechts-Verletztungen wurde wird dokumentiert und macht deutlich, dass es auch 40 Jahre nach der Gründung von Per Aspera wichtig ist, dass Menschen mit Verantwortung handeln und sich für die Wahrung der Würde von Menschen und deren elementare Menschenrechte engagieren.

Doris Groger ist seit 1989 parteilose Ortsbürgermeisterin. Sie weigerte sich ihren Haushalt an das öffentliche Abwassernetz anschliessen zu lassen, weil sie eigenen Angaben zufolge eine eigene biologische Kläranlage besitzt. Das Amt Lieberose / Oberspreewald bestand auf die Einhaltung der geltenden Verträge mit dem Abwasserzweckverband. Die Verträge verpflichten alle Haushalte, entstehendes Schmutzwasser an das kommunale Netz abzuführen. In Klagen vor dem Verwaltungs- und Oberverwaltungsgericht wird der Zwang bestätigt. Das brandburgische Verfassungsgericht lehnte eine Beschwerde ab. Ortsbürgermeisterin Doris Groger kann und will diese Entscheidungen nicht akzeptieren: „Ich habe Klage beim Europäischen Gerichtshof eingereicht. Mein Rechte werden mit Füßen getreten. Sie dürfen das Grundgesetz nicht brechen.“

Ein Polizei-Groß-Aufgebot von 25 Polizisten stürmte das Anwesen der Unweltaktivistin und die Frau wird neben weiteren engagierten Bürgern und Bürgerinnen für den Umweltschutz auf ihrem eigenen Grundstück verhaftet. Das Grundstück wird an das öffentliche Kanal-Netz zwangsangeschlossen.

Erschreckend am Fall der parteilosen Ortsbürgermeisterin Doris Groger ist eindeutig, die Brutalität des Systems, dass aus Profitgründen gegen jedes Recht, gegen die Verfassung unseres Landes vorgeht, Menschen um ihr Eigentum, ihre Selbstbestimmung, ihr Recht auf körperliche Unversehrheit betrügt und dies mit Staatsgewalt durchsetzt.

Fast Übelkeit erregt hier, das Verhalten der Staatsorgane, hier besonders der Polizei. Nicht einer der Polizistinnen und Polizisten hält diesen Einsatz für inhaltlich richtig. Anstatt jedoch die im Grundgesetz festgeschriebene EIGENVERANTWORTUNG der Exekutive (besonders wichtig bei der Bundeswehr) anzunehmen und einen derartigen Einsatz aus Gewissensgründen zu verweigern, wird gehorsam gegen die Verfassung verstossen, eine Frau verletzt, das Hausrecht gebrochen, Eigentumsrechte gebeugt. Oder im Falle des Grundgesetzes: Kriege im Ausland unterstützt, was eindeutig unsere Verfassung (Grundgesetz) verbietet.

Unsere neue Republik hat aber 1948 gelobt, dass dies in der BRD nie möglich sein sollte. Nie wieder sollten Polizisten und Angehörige des Staatsdienstes in Wohnungen eindringen, Menschen auf die Strasse treiben und verschicken. Nie wieder sollten Polizisten sagen, tut mir leid, aber „Befehl ist Befehl“. Niemand in Deutschland ist imstande, eine Gewissensprüfung gegen Anordnungen des Staates vorzunehmen und nur – wie vom „Bürger in Uniform“ gefordert – die Dinge zu tun, die er vor seinem Gewissen verantworten kann. (Und dadurch auch später vor Gericht, nie wieder die Beamtenausrede: „Das war doch befohlen…..“)

Die verbrecherische Haltung, den Machthabern zu dienen, auch völlig jenseits von geltenden Gesetzen, von der Verfassung ganz zu schweigen, ist so sehr deutsche Wesensart, dass es einem gruseln muss vor diesem Lande…..

Täglich werden einem in die Mailbox unerwünschte „Deutsche Reichs Parolen“, die Leugnung der Judenvernichtung, „Ehrenschriften“ der verbrecherischen deutschen Wehrmacht usw. gesandt. Auch bei den unglaublichsten faschistischen Verdrehungen und Verleugnungsakten, winkt bei jeder unserer Staatsanwaltschaften der zuständige Dezernent ab. „Sicher ist das Volksverhetzung, aber wir haben kein Personal diesen „harmlosen Spinnern“ nachzugehen…“ Natürlich nicht, aber eine Frau auf ihrem Grundstück zu überfallen, sie schwerer Misshandlung zu unterziehen, gewaltsam auf ihrem Grund und Boden Baumaßmahmen durchzuführen, aus Profitgründen, nicht der Umwelt zuliebe, dazu hat man willfähriges (!! und das erschreckt) Personal ohne Ende.

Wachsam ? Ist das noch genug ? Der Staat hat längst alle Rücksichten gegenüber seinen Milchkühen, den Bürgern, verloren. Er treibt Bürger in die rechte Ecke, erzeugt den Ruf nach dem starken Mann / Frau….Warten unsere Parteien längst in dieser Ecke ??

Was können, sollen, ABER WICHTIGER: WAS WERDEN WIR TUN ??

Communication for Peace Award:

Amy Goodman to receive Communication for Peace Award

By Andrew P. Harrod

London/New York/Paris/Toronto/Athens/ 3mnewswire.org/October 3, 2008 — As the World Asscoation of Christian Communication (WACC) has issued in a news release WACC has announced that investigative journalist Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! (www.democracynow.org ), a daily TV /r adio news show airing on more than 700 stations worldwide, is to receive its Communication for Peace Award. The ceremony will take place at WACC´s international conference „Communication is peace“: Building viable communities and in Cape Town, South Africa, 6-10 October 2008 (Monday to Friday).

Amy Goodman draws her inspiration from independent thinkers, artists, activists, journalists and alternative media around the world – those who challenge the powers that be. In Static, she writes: „Every day, Democracy Now! breaks the sound barrier by broadcasting a rich, dissenting, diverse range of voices. This includes the powerful and the grassroots, the banned, the celebrated, the despised, marginalized and ignored. These are the voices of people fighting to make the world a better, more humane, just, peaceful, and more compassionate place.

Goodman holds a degree in anthropology from Harvard University and began her journalism career as producer of the evening news show for community radio station WBAI, Pacifica Radio´s station in New York City.

In 1991, Goodman traveled to East Timor to report on the Indonesian occupation of that country. There, she and colleague Allan Nairn witnessed Indonesian soldiers gun down 270 East Timorese men, women and children during a memorial procession. Indonesian soldiers savagely beat both journalists, fracturing Nairn´s skull. Their documentary Massacre: The Story of East Timor later won numerous awards, including the Robert F. Kennedy Prize for International Reporting, the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia Award, the Armstrong Award, and the Radio/Television News Directors Award.

Goodman believes the role of the media is to go to where the silence is and say something. „I think the media can build bridges in society between cultures and communities. But we need to hear people speaking for themselves. That breaks down bigotry and the stereotypes that fuel hatred. If you don’t hear the voices of certain people, and you see them being demonized, it becomes easier to treat them as sub-human.

In March 2004, Goodman obtained the international broadcast exclusive of the return of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from his imposed exile in the Central African Republic to Jamaica, accompanying the Aristides with the delegation that retrieved them.
Her coverage of the Haitian story scored more than 3.5 million hits on the web site of Democracy Now!, ultimately forcing the story into the mainstream press in what Goodman describes as a „trickle up journalism.“

Since 2006, Goodman has been writing a weekly column Breaking the Sound Barrier for King Features Syndicate. She says her column´s focus is to „include voices so often excluded, people whose views the media mostly ignore, issues they distort and even ridicule.

Goodman has published three New York Times best-sellers: The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media That Love Them (2004), Static: Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders, and The People who Fight Back (2006); and Standing up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times (2008), each
co-authored with her brother, journalist David Goodman. WACC is proud to name Amy Goodman as the recipient of its Communication for Peace Award.

Amy Goodman and two fellow producers of the Democracy Now! Team have got wrongful and unlawful arrested covering and gathering news about peace protests during the Republic National Convention.

“It was shocking news to see how police officers which looked like they have prepared already for the battle of Armageddon (Greek Αρμαγεδδων; [armageddôn] also spelled Har-Magedon in some modern English translations; also known as Mount of Megiddo ) have mistreated one of the very best journalists and peace correspondents such as Amy Goodman from Democracy Now!.“, said journalist Andreas Klamm from IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty.

He said also: „How can a man dare to mistreat a lady or a woman which is well known in the entire world for her hard labor as a journalist for democracy and peace. It is hard to understand that some men are so scared about the truth, democracy and liberty and that they may not know anymore how to treat in a good manner and behavior a good woman and journalist such as Amy Goodman is one. Many of us would be happy to meet her and to have a chance for an interview and these police officers have been so poor not to see the honor of meeting a precious woman which Amy Goodman certainly is.“

After about 60.000 people from around the world have signed several petitions to drop the charges against the journalist Amy Goodman and her two fellow producers have got released from prison and the charges have been dropped.

The founder and director of IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty, the independent journalist Mr. Andreas Klamm has made the statement: „Amy Goodman is of a truth one of the best journalists and working hard for peace and democracy in this world which we all in urgency do need in many different places. As an affiliate of the World Association of Christian Communication (WACC) I am very thankful and happy to learn that my colleague Amy Goodman will receive the Communication and Peace Award. However I would also be happy if her brother David Goodman would also receive a good honor and award. Amy Goodman is a great example and many of us should follow her example to stand up for peace, liberty and democracy. Her program Democracy Now! Can been seen on www.democracynow.org and I only can recommend to those which do support democracy, liberty and peace that many people as possible around the world should watch or listen the program.”

Andreas Klamm is working as independent journalist, broadcasting host of 3mnewswire.org, XXL-info, Compact and many other radio and television programs. He is also the author of several books. In 1984 he has founded the independent news wire service 3mnewswire.org. In 1986 he became the founder and director of IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty. In 2006 he became the founder of the international media project “Human Rights Reporters” and has covered with his colleague Mr. Hans-Juergen Graf and other journalists about 150 cases of serious abuses of the human rights against poor people, believers in Christ and against journalists. After covering an event in memory of the victims of the NAZI-Terror-Regime during 1933 to 1945 in the year 2000 he and other co-producers have received threats and death threats for the television production “November 9, 1938 and today”.

After he has completed as a soldier his entire forced 15 months military service from 1988 to 1989 with the German Air Force (not as a volunteer, but forced !) as a descendant of a Black-African French Army officer, Mr. Haedi Sabaot, he has requested the German military forces with a petition to accept his will that he wants not to fight as a soldier for the German military forces for religious, political and belief reasons. The German military forces have not accepted the petition.

Andreas Klamm has explained: “You should know that my grandfather the French citizen, Mr. Haedi Sabaot is subject to national security both in France and in Germany. World War II has not come to an end to the family of my mother. 62 years after the capitulation of the German military in 1945 my grandfather which felt in love with a young beautiful girl, my grandmother Mrs. Martha Kolacz, which left in 1950 Germany for ever, German and French authorities still refuse to issue information about a French Army officer, which is my grandfather and the father of my mother. As many of you are able to imagine, I still can not believe that German and French governmental authorities 62 years after World War II explain to me, my sisters and to my mother, that the right of information to know what happened to our father and grandfather is still refused, abused and this I am only able to treat as serious abuse of the human rights. The terror of World War II continues and these authorities do destroy families on purpose. – In the past I have written so many letters and petitions to presidents, world leaders, embassies and military officials that I could easily fill perhaps another four books just with letters and petitions to presidents and leaders in this world in concern of the right of the information about my grandfather which disappeared after he was stationed in 1945 in Germany from this planet earth, according to German and French authorities. Who in the world would believe such a thing that an officer of the French Army disappears without any trace from the earth? However I am very thankful that after a research ongoing for more then 20 years I have found the son of my grandfathers good friend, the former French Army officer, Mr. Marbruck Brachim and I had a chance to talk with the son of my grandfather´s good friend. His father has got killed in the war in the country of Algeria. As you are able I do believe that war is wrong and the ideology of the Nazi-regime is not an opinion but a serious crime, as my colleague the journalist Mrs. Ulla Jelpke has said recently during an interview on Radio IBS Liberty.”

After two shootings in August 2008 have taken place in the German city of Dortmund against the office of the journalist and politician Mrs. Ulla Jelpke the journalist Andreas Klamm has written a public petition to protection journalists and politicians in Germany also. The 2nd attack and shooting against the office of the journalist and politician took place with co-workers of the journalist inside the office. Thanks fortune non of the workers got injured. Mrs Ulla Jelpke (www.ulla-jelpke.de) is a journalist and politician of the left wing party in Germany as known as “Die Linke” (the left). The petition can be found in the English and German language on: http://www.petitiononline.com/aug082/petition.html

The journalist Andreas Klamm has published many articles in daily newspapers since 1984 which are accounted as “liberal” and some of them are accounted as “left wing media” while other media outlets and magazines are accounted as “christian” media. He is co-operating since 1986 with many journalists from around the world, some of them have expressed to be of the Jewish, Muslim or even Christian household of faith. In 1986 he has founded the little independent magazine British Newsflash Magazine and in spring 2008 he became the co-founder of the international magazine MJB Mission News (ISSN 1999-8418).

In October 2007 for reason of faith, religion, political issues and for many other reasons the journalist has requested with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington D.C., according to article 15, universal declaration of the Human Rights, declared in December 1948 through the United Nations the official change of the German citizenship to the American citizenship, which he prefers.

Observers from different countries have confirmed that the author and journalist Andreas Klamm suffers for about 19 months because of torture in Germany. Since about 19 months access to any kind of medical treatment, medical doctors and even dentist is denied. He wants to leave Germany and Europe, but somehow this request is also not granted at this moment. The journalist got disabled after three accidents in 1994, 1995 and 1996 and he needs medical treatment because of Asthma, back injuries and liver damages.

After being diagnosed with possible cancer, which is not certain, in the year 2003 he has declared that he wants not to die in Germany and neither wants to be buried in Germany anymore. He himself treats not as a citizen of Germany anymore.

After signing a public petition to stop the violence against the people in Burma the author and journalist has received from an US-UN Public Affairs officer an email with the statement: “ … Your voice is crucial in our decision-making processes, and we want to reiterate our appreciation for your concern. By studying this increasingly important global issue, you become better, more engaged citizens. We remain committed to facilitating democratization in Burma and continue to move as quickly as possible to end this terrible situation. …“

“I am not certain if I am accounted in the United States of America, U.S.A., as an U.S citizen already, but I still have some hope to be able to live some years in the US and to take action as citizen of the United States of America, journalist, author, broadcasting host, independent television- radio and film producer for liberty, democracy and peace before I might have to pass away after about 19 months living without any kind of access to doctors or even dentists.

However terrorists no matter in which masks they appear should try to understand and to learn, that they might be able to destroy some buildings and as a sad fact may even the life of people and investigative journalists, but you can not destroy the freedom, liberty, peace and spirit of so many precious people in the United States of America and even in other countries which are laboring hard for democracy, liberty and peace.

It is not easy to handle every day the pain after a car accident in 1994 and after an accident while being performing some horse-back riding in 1995. Because of many research in concern of the United Nations declaration of the human rights, I do know that information, expression of thoughts, the freedom of the press and journalists and even medical and social security and freedom are important and elementary for a vital democracy.

However I would be happy also if the U.S.A. would stop the terrible situation of torture against journalists which are disabled in Germany and which are working hard for democracy, liberty and peace, day and night by issuing as soon as possible the permission to live and work in the United States of America.”, said Andreas Klamm in concern of the email which he has received from an US-UN Public Affairs officer on October 23, 2007.

In April 2007 the targeted killing of poor people with disabilities has taken place in Germany and has been continued after a public debate held by the German parliament in Berlin.

Recently the author and journalist has declared “..that the war in Afghanistan is not a war in his name or in the name of the people in Germany. It is not a war in the name of all people in Germany. 20 million people in Germany do live beyond the poverty line and in poverty beyond description. Children, people with disabilities and even women have been starving to death in the country of Germany in 2007. Imagine if Germany would make the wise decision instead of building tanks for war to feed the poor citizen in Germany. This would have a great impact for peace, liberty, democracy and even social security. Most of these people do not want a war of any kind. People should try to learn that we are not competitors which are in a battle who is going to survive or not but that it is the duty of all human beings to understand and learn to live in peace and to support those which are in need instead to use weapons of mass destruction or to kill each other. The disasters which have taken place in this world such as the Tsunami in 2004 and all these earthquakes and hurricanes are already this worse, that political leaders should avoid to cause more disasters through war. My 2nd profession is to be a registered nurse (R.N., RGN) and from the experience when I became a nurse (R.N.) in 1993, also besides my 1st profession as a journalist I do know that it is certainly more difficult to save a life then to destroy a life. However I do believe together we can not only save one live but the life of many people and it is much better to save the life of people then to destroy the life of men, women and children in need.

The ongoing wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq is the war of some people in high places and in power but not the war of the people of Germany and neither the war of the people of the United States of America. The people of the United States of America and of Germany are not the enemies of the people in Afghanistan or in Iraq, but those which are the war makers and which do profit from war. Every one which is able to think, should think and every one which is able to listen should listen. Many people want liberty, democracy, peace and not war ! The people in Iraq and Afghanistan should know that this is not the war of the people of the United States of America and it is not the war of the people of Germany.

So far as I have learned many people in Germany and in the United States of America want peace, democracy and liberty and not that innocent woman and children get killed by German and American Military Forces in certain places such as in the countries of Afghanistan or Iraq. The most important duty of a journalist is the respect for the truth and for the right to the public to truth is the first duty of the journalist. Therefore I do believe no journalist or any other media person should participate in propaganda for war but take action for truth, peace, liberty and democracy. As is it written in the Holy Scriptures <> and NOT the war makers. In the Holy Scriptures it is also written: Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace. Zechariah, Chapter 8, vers 19.”
