I made the remark when we went over the top, ‘Eureka, Houston, the Earth is really round,’ and When I got back to Houston, I got all this mail from members of the Flat Earth Society telling me I didn’t know what I was talking about”.– Pete Conrad (astronaut)

I realized up there that our planet is not infinite. It’s fragile. That may not be obvious to a lot of folks, and it’s tough that people are fighting each other here on earth instead of trying to get together and live on this planet. We look pretty vulnerable in the darkness of space.– Alan Shepard (astronaut)

What I am doing to contribute to the motion to keep our fundamental rights is every day I promote one of the Youth for Human Rights videos. If you would like to see us maintain (or recover) our human rights, get on board! Promote human rights! Share the videos. Talk it up! People need to know they have human rights then some of them will work towards keeping (restoring) them!

Here is today’s. Enjoy!

Human Rights Video #6: You Have Rights No Matter Where You Go

A friend posted this:

At 10am on this day 138 years ago. Edward “Ned” Kelly was hung as an outlaw. Whilst he was “officially” considered an outlaw, Ned and the Kelly Gang’s very public stand against police brutality and social injustice was directly responsible for changing the laws of the land and making the Govt and police more accountable for their action at the time.

I wonder if much has really changed today or if the official deception has returned? It appears that everyday we are seeing video clips and reports of police brutality on the news and internet. The police then “investigate themselves” and mostly always found “innocent” of any wrongdoing. The politicians and the rich have not changed much either. The politicians do as they want regardless of the public’s wishes and best interests and if the law stands in their way they just re-write the laws to suit their needs and to hell with the common man.

So has anything really changed since Ned’s day or has the corruption slowly returned in new ways as the unscrupulous leaders of our country continue to steal from the workers so that they can get rich at our expense, whilst using the police as their private army to do so?

Maybe Australia needs a new outlaw?

RIP Edward Ned Kelly.

SUCH IS LIFE

Unfortunately Ned’s stand did little good for him and did not, as you so eloquently stated, change the system for the better. So, despite his best intentions and courage, he did not achieve his goals.

No, we do not need another martyr, we need to work very diligently at creating a new breed of ethical, aware, honest productive citizens who are not fooled by the biggest liar at election time.

Believe me, I have looked long at hard at the present system and how the inequities, injustices and corruption (and they are many) can be addressed.

Each component of the present “system” (parliament, the political parties, the government departments, the judiciary, the medical mafia, the “education” system, the police, the armed forces, the presstitute media, the drug companies, bi ag, the censoring tech giants) are so interlocked that any attempt by one element to step outside the existing paradigm is met with strong opposition from the other pieces of the jigsaw until they are back in lock step.

Look at how the present NSW government are brazenly cutting the funding of the only body capable of addressing their corruption, ICAC.

And we do not even have a federal equivalent. (Federal ICAC Now)

No, what we need are more aware, more intelligent, more informed and courageous citizens as the basic building blocks of a better society.

That’s where we need to put our attention!

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled.

The UK just passed a 350+ page bill that gives the government unfettered, tyrannical powers.

The USA and Australia are undertaking similarly ill advised actions.

This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights.

Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!

There’s a hidden gem in here of how he used their communication to find a way to continue his cleanup!
