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!
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 Germany in 1945. In 1986 I have started with about 100 German Marks with the foundation an own and international alternative media network. This 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 registered journalists, news correspondents and television producers 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 in 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 your 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 your precious time of life if you 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 your 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. Sometimes 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 be 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 if 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 media 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.

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. The followers of the "free expression of thoughts and free speech will go to hell.", peace demonstrators in London, United Kingdom do believe. Photo: DigiInsUnderstanding 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.

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.

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.

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?

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."

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.
