Unlawful Killings by US Drones

-From the Amnesty International USA website:
In the words of the recent report compiled by NYU and Stanford University:

“Drones hover twenty four hours a day over communities in northwest Pakistan striking homes, vehicles and public spaces their presence terrorizes men, women and children giving rise to anxiety and psychological trauma among civilian communities”

Drones operating under the CIA do not require any form of approval from the United States Senate or the U.S House of Representatives, in official terms there is no drone program and no war declared against Pakistan, or Yemen or Somalia.

Until now, 500-800 civilians have been killed killed from the  drone strikes, including 176 children. When killing by remote control fails to distinguish between funeral processions and weddings and alleged militants, they should be concerned about the glaring lack of accountability surrounding the drone program.

The New York Times has reported that President Obama has placed himself at the helm of designating a “secret kill list” that decides without any judicial or legislative input who the drones can target.
In Pakistan, the country where the majority of drone killing is taking place, the funerals and refugees coming from villages plagued by drone attacks are harder to ignore. Drone strikes have displaced hundreds of thousands of innocent people sending them into overcrowded refugee camps and teeming cities. Even more alarming, the anger and outcry at the violations of Pakistani sovereignty have actually driven many to be sympathetic to the militants allegedly targeted by the attacks.  Instead of focusing on the ravages and cruelties imposed by militant groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban in Pakistan, the imperial over reach of the drone program, the ease with which it can target anyone at any time and shoot them from afar, has prevented the very reckoning that would allow Pakistanis to defeat and purge terrorism based on their own impetus.
In June of this year, the UN Special Rapporteur on extra judicial killings Christof  Heyn said that “drone strikes threaten 50 years of international law” expressing special concern about the fact that in several cases one strike closely following another actually kills rescuers attempting to aid casualties from the attack.  It is time end “the conspiracy of silence” the UN rapporteur said emphasizing that drone attacks were most devastatingly an attack on the system of international law. Amnesty International has also repeatedly condemned drone attacks, what we know about the attacks already demonstrates that they are unlawful and violations of the fundamental human right to not be arbitrarily deprived of life.

Stop the NDAA act from being passed. Save the civilians, save the children, save the innocent and protect justice.

Do not sit idly by. We are the ones who have to make things better. Stop complaining, start doing.

Free Your Mind

I make this post after seeing, reading about and hearing people complain, about burdens of expectations, how they can't do things they yearn to because of the society they live in, the god they worship or the race or caste they belong to.

Since childhood we are told do as we told. As long as we are doing things that are right, it's fine.

But when you let people boss you around too much, you become afraid. You become submissive.

You accept all  the crap that's fed to you by parents, teachers and society in general.

When you read the things written below, read with a completely open mind. I mean it.

Let me tell you how-

Every one wants to be successful, right? What's your definition of success? 80% or 90% of you would say, having a successful job, with a good salary, big house in a posh area,  kids in ivy league schools? This is not success. This is acting the way society wants you to. This is not knowing what you really want. This is becoming a selfish and ignorant person who always cares about what someone else thinks. 

Ask yourself, is being a person who is selfish, someone who ignores the pleas of help, someone who made his way to the top by betraying friends, forgetting friendships and love, successful?
Everyone is just running around trying to become what others want you to be. Stop. 
People think that they're failures because they couldn't be rich, because they don't live in big houses. Why? Because that's what success is. Who said that? Everyone. You see what I mean? You want to be successful, become someone who helps others, someone who's a good friend for others, someone who's not ignorant to all the oppression and injustice around him.
Are you ready to change? 
Are you strong enough to change?

Are you determined enough to change? Are you going to become a cog in the wheel or are you going to actually live, rather than just survive? 

Do not be influenced by the media. Do not be influenced by your friends and family. Make the society better, don't become part of an ailing one. 

You aren't free until your mind is. The day you realise and understand what is wrong and what needs to be done, you have escaped from the claws of injustice.

-Free thinkers change the world.- 

Defeat Injustice.

From Amnesty International:

"Jalila al-Salman and Mahdi 'Issa Mahdi Abu Dheeb are former leaders of the Bahrain teachers Association who are awaiting their final verdict on 21 October that will determine whether they will be sent behind bars. Jalila is facing three years in prison and Mahdi ten years.

After calling for a teachers strike to support protestors’ calls for reform in Bahrain, Jalila and Mahdi were arrested and tried before a military court. Whilst in detention they were held in solitary confinement, subjected to torture and were forced to sign “confessions”.

They face a range of charges including attempting to overthrow the ruling system by force and inciting hatred of the regime. Neither of them advocated violence during the protests and Amnesty has not seen any convincing evidence supporting such accusations, nor was there any such evidence presented at trial.

Jalila al-Salman was conditionally released pending her appeal but could be joining in prison Mahdi 'Issa Mahdi Abu Dheeb if their convictions are upheld. Amnesty International would consider both as prisoners of conscience."

A letter is to be sent to Bahraini authorities, to look further into the matter and to investigate the reasons of unfair justice given to Jalila al-Salman and Mahdi Issa Mahdi. You can do your part by signing the letter in your name, by clicking here, please spread the word and tell everyone you know, we've only got until 20th  October.

Helplessness no more.

Ignorance no more.

INJUSTICE NO MORE.

Is the Commonwealth of Australia owned by the US?

The Commonwealth of Australia is registered with the United States Securities Exchange Commission.
When an organisation or company is registered with the United States SEC, the company is owned by the thousands of brokers and investors in the stock market. Do I need to make it more clear??



Do you see that? The Commonwealth of Australia is a commercial cooperation, with its main aim being profit earning. All the Australians reading this, I'm sorry but you are all owned by a giant money making cooperation which is owned by the US. You are a slave without even knowing anything about it.
Here's some more proof:

Fellow Australians, spread the word. Let no one be ignorant. This is your country, Fight for your rights!
Fight for Australia! INFORM. UNITE. REBEL.
Here is a video for you to watch. All of those who read this, tell this to all your Australian friends and family members.

Remember the date: 17 November, 2012.

IGNORANCE NO MORE.

You can always help someone-Part II

In the previous post, I asked you all to change a simple thing in your life, to help others whenever you could.
I told you I would tell you the reason I asked you to do this and what difference will it make.
Here I am, let me begin.
You help people, you feel better, you actually start listening to what you really want. You start to care about others, you try to make others happy. But that's not all. Because YOU are someone who isn't someone who talks and doesn't do anything. You are someone who wants to do something to help. You are someone who hates the way people are being oppressed. You want to change things.
You see, others in pain, the poor, the oppressed. You wish you could help them. You feel angry against the system.You should. Most of my readers probably live in democracies, tell me, do you know ALL that goes on with your government? Do you think that the government and the media doesn't hide anything from you?
Well it's time you woke up and stop being ignorant. Understand how governments work. The poor oppressed, the middle class works their socks off and pays taxes for the rich to have a lavish life. Do you know who is at fault here? The middle class who doesn't do anything. People who grumble amongst themselves, complaining about the government while doing nothing, and the wheels keep on turning.
Stop being so ignorant people!
Make others aware of what's happening! Stop thinking that it doesn't affect you. It does, it fucking does!
You should be angry, because of all the injustice that happens, the oppression and the censorship.
That is what we need, people.

 WAKE UP: Listen to your conscience. Human beings are born with a sense of justice, Become aware.

AWARENESS: Spread the word, make others aware. Make them understand what's going on.

CHANGE THE MENTALITY: Stop being intimidated by the rich and/or the powerful. Fear drives them!

We are all equal. Don't ignore a protestor standing on the street corner because he isn't wearing an Armani Suit, then stand at stupid propaganda speeches by the well dressed politicians and industrialists, the very ones who are feed off the poor.

UNITE:Find people who think like you, people who share the same anger.
