A winter's tale

Just some random thoughts, to entertain you with.

While America tells the world, that we should give the racist a chance

While in Great Britain the 'leavers'  blame the 'not leavers'  for not being happy with a democratic poll

While in the Netherlands the full cover of the faces (burka and worse) slowly gets forbidden, and where the populism more and more rules over freedom of expression and speech
Where in Germany an infiltrater in the Muslim-extreme scene appeard to be an Juhadist activist himself, what is discovered while he (the spy) spoke with a Jihadist who appeared to be a secret infiltrant
While Appola slowly is destroyed by the Syrian dictator, in full suppoort from Russia
While China continiues to destroy the culture and human of Tibet

Where I keep on fighting for my right
Where I  get stronger every day with fighting against the darkness

Where friends  make easy things complicated while they do not want to talk with eachother

Where Metallica explodes out of the speakers, and the radio in the background blares some chirstmas songs
There is my world.
And I love my world.

I wish that people should not make things so complicted.
If I have the right on some documents, I should  get them, just like everyone. Not that I get punised because I did not act correctly in the past.
I should wish that some people, and for all the ones who are the most close, should be able to switch off... And forget to worry about the things that might come tomorrow. Or might not come tomorrow, or might not come at all.

I wish people to have a good nightrest, without pain, without nightmares

Tomorrow December starts.  The coming days I will put up some christmas decorations. I llove the candles, I love the light.  The light, what shines the brightest in the night.

And somettimes I have the feeling
That I need to write some verses, or making a picture. Just to get that smile back into your heart.

Yea, I know that I am a dreamer.

When the days get colder
When the sunshine is only spreading light

Then nature goes to sleep

It is not always easy to accept
When the time to go has come
We don't have it in our hands
When we are called back home

It's why I don't leave you
without saying goodbye
And when we are in a rush
I still owe you a kiss, feel you near by

One second
Feels like eternity
Not a goodbye
A moment of intimacy

When we rush into the darkness
of the day
It is cold outside
A frosen rose coloured bright

The last amazing moment
I look at it
And miss my train
And if it should happen once more
I shall do it again

Dalai Lama in Mongolia | ICT's Response to Election | Update on Larung Gar

ICT's WORK ICT’s President Responds to U.S. Presidential Election Results As we all reflect on the results of one of the most consequential presidential elections in US history, we want to reassure you that at the International Campaign for Tibet, we are busy assessing the changes and challenges ahead. While international issues and the respect of human rights were not central during the presidential campaign, the issue of Tibet and the protection of its unique cultural, religious and political identity is overwhelmingly supported by millions of people both at home and abroad, despite China’s far-reaching efforts to silence Tibetans. ICT is dedicated and committed to making sure that the next administration and Congress will continue to keep Tibet high on their agenda. Your support gives us strength, and we will continue to work hard with passion and resolve to challenge China’s oppressive policies in Tibet through institutions in the US and around the world. Read the full statement here. Your Petitions Delivered to the Presidential Candidates ICT delivered over 8,000 petitions to the Clinton and Trump campaigns on November 1, 2016, one week before the presidential election. Thank you to everyone who signed the petitions to the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates urging them to strengthen and reiterate American support to the Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet. With a new President and Administration coming, your voice of support for Tibet is that much more important! ICT Makes Presentation at North American Tibetan Association Conference On November 11, 2016, ICT’s Bhuchung K. Tsering and Tencho Gyatso made a presentation on the work of the International Campaign for Tibet to the participants of the 15th North American Tibetan Association Conference in Boulder, CO. In addition to explaining the programs of ICT, they spoke about the election of a new President and the role the Tibetan American community could play in drawing the attention of their members of Congress and the President to the Tibetan issue. The conference was held under the auspices of the Office of Tibet in Washington, D.C. and attended by Representative Penpa Tsering, two members of the Tibetan Parliament from North America, Pema Chagzoetang and Tsewang Rinzin, and the Tibetan Minister of Finance, Karma Yeshi, attended as the chief guest. There were over 21 Tibetan communities represented from North America comprising of over 50 participants. In addition to ICT, presentations were made by representatives of the Tibet Fund as well as the Students for a Free Tibet. DALAI LAMA Outpouring of Support During Dalai Lama Visit to Mongolia The four-day trip to Mongolia saw His Holiness the Dalai Lama give Buddhist teachings to immense crowds in a sports stadium and included a visit to Gandan Tegchenling Monastery and participation in an International Conference on Buddhism and Science in Ulaan Baatar. This high level of interest and participation from the Mongolian public is a sign of the close cultural and religious ties between Tibet and Mongolia, which extend back hundreds of years. Successive Dalai Lamas have also visited Mongolia, and the fourth Dalai Lama was born there. Mongolia welcomed His Holiness despite warnings from China, which has serious economic leverage on the land-locked Asian nation. INSIDE TIBET Distress and anguish at Larung Gar as monks and nuns compelled to leave Distressing scenes of monks and nuns being forced to leave Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in the last few days have emerged on footage shared on social media. Many monks and nuns have been compelled to sign a document stating that they would not return to the globally renowned religious center in Serthar, eastern Tibet. Separately, RFA has reported that an annual Larung Gar festival called Dechen Shingdrup, or Accomplishing the Pure Land of Great Bliss, has been cancelled by Chinese authorities. Respected scholar monk Labrang Jigme released from prison Labrang Jigme returned home last month after being released two months after his five-year prison sentence expired. Formerly a monk at Labrang monastery in Amdo, who had been previously imprisoned and severely tortured in 2008 and 2010, Labrang Jigme is well-known as a writer and intellectual who is the only known Tibetan to record on video in Tibet an account of his own imprisonment and views on Chinese policies against the Dalai Lama in which he gave his full identity. Suffocating religious freedom in Tibet: China’s draft regulations on religious affairs The Chinese government has drafted a revision of its religious affairs regulations that may have a far reaching effect on Tibetan Buddhism, as it will consolidate the state’s repressive approach towards religious groups. These religious affairs regulations should be assessed against the background of a new set of laws that can be viewed as a systematic development of a security architecture, which – with regard to Tibet – dates back to the time before the presidency of Xi Jinping. Please see our in-depth report on these developments here. Two Tibetans, including well-known writer, detained just after release from prison Two Tibetans, including a prominent writer who had just been released after serving several years in prison, were detained again shortly afterwards, according to sources. Gangkye Drubpa Kyab, a teacher by profession, was released from prison and allowed to return home on September 16 (2016), a year before the end of his five and a half- year prison sentence. The next day, he was detained again and is back in detention. It has also been reported that Samdrub was detained again on Sunday (September 18), less than a month after his release from prison after serving five years. Chinese police closely monitor event honoring Kirti Rinpoche RFA has reported that police in Ngaba present at the opening of a lavish new residence for exiled leader Kirti Rinpoche closely watched the gathered monks and forbade any mention on printed invitations of him. “Chinese authorities ordered the monastery not to send out invitation cards mentioning Kirti Rinpoche’s residence,” one source told RFA. “Instead, they had to say they were inaugurating a library built next door.” DISCUSSION ICT's Blog: Ideas, Advocacy & Dialogue on Tibet Please join the conversation and stay updated by subscribing to the ICT blog's RSS feed. » What will be President Donald Trump’s Tibet Policy?

TIme to stand up

It is time to stand up.

It looks like the world is taken over by radical right wing activists, raciststs who have in nothng else intrest then in their power.

It is time to stop looking what is happening. It is time to say what is need to be said. Next to the strong believe that LOVE is the answer,  I think that it is good to reply to the ignorance, the people who have nothing then the words ofothers to hide behind, the people who think they are superior to others so that they can decide for others what to do.  Yuck, I get the creep already from writing it.

When the first people who congratulate the new president of the USA are the leaders of the KKK, that tells me that there is more then just something wrong. It is too late to wait and see, give 'him' a chance.
Why the hell should I give racism and homophobia a chance??

I try to add a few examples in my upcoming blogs about what is happening. What I see in the social communities, what I see around me.

Be scared, because it is more dangerous then smoking. And it happens world wide.

The festival events of the upcoming months are traditional the moment for wishing eachother good..



and some reactions.

Paul - Are you from f'in Mars?.. where I work, its "happy honaka" or "happy dewali" or whatever.......... Don't put up shit that tries to take away peoples cultural identities.... If your too ignorant to learn what festival is when, thats no concern of ours. p..s... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! (DEC 25th.., same every year, put it in your interdominational Diary....)

Yvette  What the fuck did you read in this meme I posted that could possibly get you so damned upset!!?? Paul, maybe I need to go to fucking Mars to get away from angry ass fucktards like you. "Too ignorant to learn what festival is occuring..."??????? How the hell do I know, when I see a stranger what their heritage is and what holiday they celebrate?!! Being kind, smiling, and spreading peace and love by wishing people "Happy Holidays" is NOT something bad or worthy of your angry response. Who are you dude?!!

Yvette   Spickard, Really? Are you that angry of a human being? I guess I don't really know you after all.

Hans Friedhoff

 the thing that is wrong with 'happy holidays' are the people that are upset with it. 

It has all to do with tolerance. Who can not accept wishes like happy holidays, should learn that the world is much more then their narrow minded view. 
Put away your non tolerance. Accept that the majority of the world is different then you.
Don't blame others for your own ignorance and pre-judges, look at yourself first.

I added a new status update, at Facdebook, and this is how I am going to do it. No idea why  the blog is acting so weird, but it won't  take me away from my plans :)

Life is all about balance, yin and yang. The light can not be there without the shadow.

I will stand up louder for justice, for peace, for love. For example in my poetry. And in my pictures.
I will stand up louder against homophobia, hate and racism. For example in my poetry. And in my pictures.

There is absolutley no place in my world for people who can not accept that others are 'different'.

Who does not like what I post, is free to leave. Do not just unfollow me. Be honest, show guts and act.

Monsanto Is Scrambling To Bury This Story – Don’t Let This Go Unshared!

Found at an English site, but still intresting for the rest of the world as well

I am frankly shocked this information is not making front page news right now. Monsanto will do anything to bury this story… and as of right now, it’s working. Not a single mainstream media outlet has covered this appalling new report that shows millions of people being poisoned by a chemical that does not belong in our food. This chemical is ending up in processed foods like Cheerios, Ritz Crackers, and Oreos and being consumed by humans across the world. The health of millions of people is on the line and this news must go mainstream! That’s why I’m calling on every single one of you who reads this post to share this breaking story now. The only way this injustice will be corrected is if enough of us stand up and demand that something be done to stop the poisoning of our food supply.

Share this shocking new report with everyone you know….

A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed killer glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.

Just to give you an idea of how outrageous these amounts are, independent research shows that probable harm to human health begins at really low levels of exposure – at only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate. Many foods were found to have over 1,000 times this amount! Well above what regulators throughout the world consider “safe”. 

{See the test results and full report by Food Democracy Now! and The Detox Project}. 

Here is why we all should be concerned about eating glyphosate:

• Independent research links glyphosate to cancer (sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and it has been deemed a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization’s team of international cancer experts. The childhood cancer rate is steadily rising and experts say that they don’t know why. Why are they not taking a closer look at these facts?

• Research also indicates that glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor, which disrupts hormones and leads to reproductive problems, early onset puberty, obesity, diabetes, and some cancers. When it comes to endocrine disruptors, very small exposures are the most damaging, so “the dose makes the poison” mantra does not apply! 

• Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic killing the good bacteria in your gut. Poor gut health is linked to inflammation and a whole host of diseases. As GMOs laced with glyphosate are commonly fed to farm animals, this could very well be contributing to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

• It binds with vital nutrients in the soil (like iron, calcium, manganese, zinc) and prevents plants for taking them up. Glyphosate is thereby making food less nutritious!

Why is this weed killer in these foods? Even non-GMO and organic food! 

This chemical has gone so mainstream that glyphosate has infiltrated every facet of our environment – our water, air, soil.

• Many GMOs were invented to be resistant to glyphosate – and since GMOs have been introduced the use of glyphosate has gone through the roof! It is now the world’s most widely used herbicide.

• Glyphosate is not just used on GMOs. Conventional (non-organic farmers) use Roundup as a drying agent on crops, such as oats and wheat. It can’t be simply washed off, as it is taken up into the plant itself.

• As the active ingredient in popular “Roundup” herbicide, millions of people are using this stuff around their homes, and it’s widely used at parks and other public spaces.

So, that is why it’s not just GMO-filled junk food that is laced with glyphosate. It’s contaminating organic and non-GMO foods, and it’s even in our honey! The FDA quietly found it in almost every single sample of honey that they tested (from mass produced to organic mountain honey). The media has been essentially silent and barely anyone heard this news!

Even if you don’t personally eat the specific brands that were tested (I don’t), how many people are eating Cheerios and Ritz Crackers every day? A lot!

How many of your friends and family have their cabinets filled with these foods? These people need to know this information.

There are still thousands of other brands and whole foods that have not been tested for glyphosate residues, so we can’t be so sure that our own organic, non-GMO, and unprocessed food is safe. Americans are effectively being forced to eat this poison until something is done to stop the rampant use of this chemical. Yes, I said poison.

Monsanto doesn’t want the public to know these findings for obvious reasons. They have our regulatory agencies in their back pocket to make sure they can continue to make a hefty profit while poisoning the masses.

While there are now several manufacturers of glyphosate herbicides, Monsanto completely dominates the market and this is a best seller. They are raking in BILLIONS every year and certainly don’t want that to stop. They are clearly, without a doubt, using their prosperity to influence our government regulators. Why else would those entrusted to protect the public from harmful chemicals turn a blind eye to this?

Our public agencies are allowing corporations to poison Americans for profit.

In 2013, the EPA massively increased the industry standard of what is considered a “safe” level of glyphosate on our food, in order to make enormous amounts seem A-OK. Instead of properly regulating, they effectively raised the “safe” level so that no one can blame the industry for poisoning us with unlawful amounts of chemicals. This is corruption at its finest. The EPA has a long and sordid history of doing whatever Monsanto wants and you have to ask yourself why this continues to happen and how we can make it stop.

The EPA continues to pander to Monsanto, as they keep postponing and dragging their feet to evaluate glyphosate’s link to cancer in humans. The industry is fighting tooth and nail to make sure that the EPA “evaluation” will be in their favor and is trying to control who will be on the panel. Why won’t the EPA do their job to make sure that the world’s most widely used herbicide isn’t causing us all to get cancer? Don’t you think this should be a top priority? It’s time for the EPA to put the public health above the corrupt desires of corporations.

When it comes to the FDA, they are not protecting the American public from glyphosate either. After announcing in February that they would FINALLY begin testing foods for glyphosate residues, they just decided to suspend their testing this week. Could it be that Monsanto didn’t like the results they started getting – especially since the FDA found glyphosate in foods that should be especially safe like BABY FOOD? Monsanto will do whatever it takes to keep that story out of the public eye.

Doesn’t the public deserve to know this information? It should be shouted from the rooftops!

It is shameful that the American media has thus far failed to cover this breaking news, but WE HAVE THE POWER to make this information go viral. If you really want to stop the corruption perpetuated by Monsanto and the large chemical companies – this is how we shut them down!

CALL TO ACTION: Share this post with everyone you know. Tweet, share, and email this information to major media outlets and ask them to cover this story. 

Remember the best way to avoid glyphosate is by choosing certified organic foods because it is prohibited on organic crops. Although contamination is a real threat, the levels on organic foods are minimal compared to what’s been found on conventional foods. It’s been shown that people who eat organic foods have less glyphosate and other synthetic pesticides in their system. 

The people of this country must be informed and this should be our top priority. Go, Food Babe Army, Go! 

Waking up in a nightmare

So

A few days are gone.  I thought I was having a bad dream, but it is not so.

I woke up in the biggest nightmare that we could think of.

The biggest country in the world will be lead by a homophobic racist, who will encourage the use of weapons against everyone who is not with him.

His hate for people who are different, is so deep, that we not need to doubt that this will have consequences for the lifes of many of my friends as well.
When at the start we called him a clown, not to take serious, we now shall see how the monster reveals.  The longer the animal is out, the worse it will be.

And we know in Europe, that France (Le Pen), the Netherlands (Wilders), England, Austria, Hungary  follow.
We also know the power hunger of Russia and Turkey.

What the hell is happening to this world?
Did no one see this coming?
And don't say, oh, in 4 years not much can change. Read the history books.
78 years ago in Germany, people went out to attack the jews.  Now the world is out to attack all who are different.

It is too late to say that it won't happen here. It is happening under our noses. And maybe we, in Germany, are not yet getting under such horror regime, but we are part of Europe, we get to do with this and 'they'  get stronger and stronger.

Reason enough to be scared. World War III did arrive in the Western World. Where to it will lead? I have no idea, but I am very, very much scared.
When I think back about what I read in history books, what my parents and grandparents told about the war, I know that there were always people who resisted, who kept fighting and who, in the end, found the way out.

The world turns on, but there are very unpleasant changes for everyone. It will not stop when we turn the TV off. It happens in our street, in our shops, in the schools, everywhere.

Still it is different now. The world has become smaller.  The powers can unite easier now, with all the effects that belong to it.
I am scared like shit for what is coming up to us. I can not oversee it, but it is NOT good!

So, what to do now, now the tiran is chosen, democratic, and many have to fear about their future then ever before, worldwide?

We did let it happen. It happens, right now. -sigh- I still do not want to believe it...

Fact is, that it is more easy to unite powers then ever before, world wide. It escalates fast.
In that is as well a challenge.  Because when the evil can unite fast, the good can do the same.
The evil yells loud now. Their agression makes the suggestion that there is nothing else then their opinion, their will will rule.
Maybe it might rule... the world.  But will it rule the heart?
Is a child other then impressed when his parents yell at them? 
A scream is the sign of the one who has no hope anymore. It is an attempt to get things done without convincing the other that it is what they want, or need.

I refuse to listen to who screams to me
I want to hear what really matters
My friends. No matter from what cuontry. No matter who they love, how they look.  But it DOES matter how they are, how they treat me, others.  That is a thing on what I judge.
I shall never tolerate people who find other people less then themselves. 
I shall never tolerate the use of weapons against others
I shall never tolerate that people are abused for religion, outlook, sexual favors
I shall never tolerate that people that I love are being done bad.



Oh... maybe it is more important what I will do, then to mention what not.

I want to be free. I will speak my mind, freely. I will love who I want to love. I will try to be peaceful.  I shall read the works of the Dalai Lama a bit again. I shall try to live good. Give a smile to people around me.
I will fight for peace.
Peace in the world, peace in my heart
And the peace in my heart, can only be when I am happy and not need to worry about the future, of myself, of my friends.
I want to have hope, to give hope, to give a lifeworth life to everyone

Without that we need to flee to the other end of the world!

Not until then I shall fight.
My fight needs no weapons.
I use love, because I am convinced that that is the answer.

Maybe I am a dreamer...

Let this nightmare end, please
