Racism and populism in the UK. Britain first

DmI know, it is not of my business what others post on line.

WRONG!

It IS of my business, what people write, when it are my  so called 'friends', what consequently means that other friends of me can read the messages as well.
It IS of my business, when people (the so called friends)  publish propaganda of organisations that are  questionable.

I did talk about it before, and have to repeat it.  Some of my british 'friends'  are posting propaganda pictures and stuff of an organisatieon called BF  Britain first.
You can read in this link about that organisation.

The promotion images, who are clerverly not speaking directly of the real phylosophy of that group, are spreading around still.  After that there are more and more people protested against their manipulating, the new strategy is now to let the followers (the not thinkers) post the images without the name of BF /BNP on it directly.
I should not be me if I did protest against this, and I do recognize some methods that those organisations do use.

When it comes to publishing in a group (against what I did protest loudly) I got to hear that it was meant not to hurt anyone, but, when it offends someone, then he should pick it out. Appearantly it is then not enough that one person (me) finds it offending already, but he needs new people who openly are saying that he is wrong in that.  Not everyone wants to be open, and on the other hand, why does he need to know exactly who is at his side and who not?

-we are not violent to who is not against us-

After a while, the bright moment came, that he is free to speak out his mind.


Ah yes, when arguements not work, we can try to hide behind the fundamental rights of everyone. Sure, everyone has freedom of speech,. But freedom of speech is not the same as spreading hate and racism, what are illegal matters, in our western world anyway.
So, my buddy, feel free to speak your mind, and expect me to react.

Next step is predictable as well.  I will be banned out of his friends list, and I will be blocked, so that he can not see anymore that I keep on fighting for freedom of speech, and against racism and hate.

-----

4 days later.  The first step in getting rid of me.

Gute Nachricht aus Mexiko!



Liebe Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützer,

„Ich habe sie öfters weinen sehen, aber heute zum ersten Mal aus Freude und Erleichterung“, erzählt ein Amnesty-Mitarbeiter über die Mexikanerin Claudia Medina.

Endlich kann Claudia wieder ihr normales Leben leben: Die letzten Anklagepunkt gegen sie wurden fallengelassen.

Was war geschehen?

Der Alptraum von Claudia begann am 7.  August 2012. Um 3 Uhr nachts brachen Marinesoldaten in ihr Haus ein. Mit verbundenen Augen und gefesselten Hände wurde sie zum Marinestützpunkt gebracht. Mit Tritten, Elektroschocks und sexueller Gewalt wurde Claudia gezwungen, Straftaten zu gestehen, die sie nie begangen hatte. Sie wurde Opfer der staatlichen Willkür und Rechtlosigkeit, die Mexikos Alltag prägt: Die Soldaten brauchten eine Schuldige, um einen vermeintlichen Erfolg vorzuweisen. Und nur damit die Tortur und die Schmerzen endlich aufhörten, unterzeichnete Claudia ein falsches Geständnis.

Im Rahmen unserer Kampagne „Stop Folter“  hat Amnesty International Druck auf die mexikanischen Behörden ausgeübt, damit eine Untersuchung der mutmaßlichen Folter und Misshandlung von Claudia Medina eingeleitet wird, die Ergebnisse öffentlich zugänglich gemacht und die Verantwortlichen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden.

Ein erster Erfolg ist nun erreicht: Die Anklagepunkte gegen Claudia wurden fallengelassen, weil das „Geständnis“ unter Folter erzwungen wurde. Jetzt setzen wir uns weiter dafür ein, dass auch die Verantwortlichen bestraft werden und Claudia Gerechtigkeit erfährt. Denn Misshandlungen und Folter durch Militär oder Polizeikräfte sind in ganz Mexiko weit verbreitet. Die Täter gehen in der Regel straflos aus.

Ihre Spende unterstützt uns dabei, Menschen wie Claudia Medina zu helfen und sie in ihrem Kampf um Gerechtigkeit zu unterstützen. Mit Ihrer Spende unterstützen Sie auch unsere kontinuierliche Recherche- und Kampagnenarbeit, um Folter weltweit zu verhindern. Auch 2015 bekämpfen wir den alltäglichen Folterskandal weiter, denn in 141 Ländern hat Amnesty Folter und Misshandlung dokumentiert – trotz absolutem Folterverbot.

Spenden Sie jetzt, denn aus Gründen der Unabhängigkeit nehmen wir keine staatlichen Mittel an: https://www.amnesty.de/spendentool



Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Spende!
Mit besten Grüßen,

Barbara Hohl, Leiterin der Kampagne "Stop Folter"

random thoughts II

I don't think that I am going to 'fall'  for the challenge to take over another project.
It silently is pushed into my direction, but I think it should not be. I have already difficulties enough to maintain all the projects on my list, so a new one is not a good idea.  No matter how much I like to help, a yes now will result in disappontments, of myself and of the other. It is not worth it, I think :)



Tibet is not Shangri-La

RenewDear Hans,

You know the truth about Tibet and the suffering inflicted on Tibetans by the Chinese government’s relentless oppression. I believe that knowledge, along with your commitment to the ideals of freedom and fairness, is why you first stepped up to join the International Campaign for Tibet.

Now that it’s time to renew your ICT membership for 2015, I urge you to take a moment to do so now.

Too many people think of Tibet as Shangri-La – a Himalayan paradise where everyone lives in peace and harmony. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

As you know, the Tibetan people live under constant risk of arrest for exercising religious freedom or freedom of expression. They can’t travel within Tibet without permission from Chinese Communist Party officials. They can be imprisoned for simply displaying a photo of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and tortured while in custody.

You help make the truth about Tibet known worldwide through your support of ICT. Your 2015 membership renewal gift will help give Tibetans hope for an end to their suffering and the start of a brighter, peaceful future.

Please keep in mind that all of ICT’s work – documenting and reporting the realities of life in Tibet, advocating on behalf of Tibetans around the globe, and focusing international pressure on China’s leaders – is made possible by members like you.

In a perfect world, Tibetans would be living in peace and you could stand down. But because our world is far from perfect, and Tibet is not Shangri-La, I ask you to please stand up for the people of Tibet again today.


Matteo Mecacci Thank you,
Matteo Mecacci

President

P.S. If you have already mailed your renewal donation, please accept my gratitude. If not, please take a moment to give online now.

Random thoughts I

- if someone is approaching you in an uncomfortable way, in real life you usually try to get rid of that person, tell it to back off.
Why are so many of us letting ourselves getting hurt by the attitude of others, on line?
Why do we find it so difficult to cut the lines with people that we hardly know?

- if someone is exited about something, let's say music (it can be anything), it is easy to bring over that exitement on others. Especially children are open for things what their parents bring in.
So, if you say even my kids love that music, I play it often to them, Is it then their real opinion, or is it manipulation?
From my own experience, (my partner and me had a different musical taste), kids are able to decide by themselves. First, from nature, they did follow their mother's influence, later they did turn into another direction (ha!).
It is hard for me to believe that the excitement from young children for their parent's taste or behavior, is from what they realy think and feel.

- if someone shows a bad picture of a well known star, it is so easy to laugh about it. People say it is scaring, that they don't want to be the other.
This judgement on the outside, is scaring me.
First of all, we can make pictures of everyone in such way, but why do we need to put it in public?
Just because they are famous, they need to be seen unmasked?
I don't care how others look, I look to what others do or say. Or even more, what they don't do, or not say.

- a lot of people show their love to others, tell them how sweet and good the others are, how much they  love them.
That loads of love for (or from) people that you hardly know, is of course flattering and nice.
When it does not blind you, and when you leave those compliments and flattering away, it is intresting to see what is left behind.
It is not an exception when you find then a fully different person left, with no tolerance, prejustice and even worse.
I so much learn from reading between the lines!

I think that it is time to kick myself under the butt again to move forward. It is not going automatically, I have to put some effort on it.

I will, and I shall, and I do. Today the first careful step, that telephone call. Just to see what happens. It has advantages to know some ways.

What was supposed to be an easy day did turn out to be a productive day. In the morning hours I did some shopping, FINALLY bought the cleaning stuff and did clean with it as well (lol), and then to fix that printer at senior's. How happy people can be with some help, and it was for free, but the coffee and the 'marmor kuchen'  were delicious.

Yes, I think that my day was good. It looks like progression.

By the way, I do hate the 'lock führer', GDL.  They are the engineers in the Locomotives and they have an issue with their company (deutsche bahn).  That conflict is more then half a year out and regurarily we, the customers, are pestered with strikes.

It looks like we get a huge one, the coming days again. I HATE it!
It is unhandy, it costs me more travelling time, but I can live with that. I have more problems with the immense amount of money that the economy looses by this kind of things. And by the fact that a small group can ruin an entire country. Is that democracy?

oh well, I can't change it. I cannot change the wars that are going on, I am not sure that everyone is aware of it, but as well Russia as in Asia are two nasty wars on, where we all are involved. We still pretend to be not involved, but that is a way to keep ourselves under control.  We are part of it and we are going to get a huge proportion of agression, in the near future.

Good that there are happy things as well.
Tonight a beautiful football match Schalke against Barca
Friday a foto shoot with H, HJ, hopefully S will be able to join as well. Even in our tiny world there are huge changes coming up. It will not be easy, but it are all challenges.

And what do you think about this.  Mushrooms in the park, in February :-)
