I am grateful

About three weeks ago I started my #IAMGRATEFULFRIDAY as I believe we all need a reminder once in a while about the things we have and are grateful, about the beauty and about what is life. 

Today I am grateful about the freedom of speech. Actually do we all have it but some live under pressure and repression. Thought we can speak and tell. It's just the way how we do it. I am therefore very grateful to live in Europe as speaking freely is something I can do but I use to remind me that this is all but granted. Of course (it should be clear) that does not mean to speak the words like a blind man. We all know how words inflicts pain, can kill and give wrong pictures. That's why it is always good to look behind the meaning of words. To learn the understanding of a sentence and content. Choosing words wisely is something we all have to learn as it is so easy to misuse them or to make mistakes we don't want. You know, many times you may talk in a good way and only want the best but the understanding of the language of words is very difficult sometimes and so don't be to surprised when people get angry or upset. 

In my job I have had this many times. The misunderstanding of words. That's why I have to look how I talk and to whom and when. I also have to keep in mind which words are right and which are better to avoid as understanding is a sensitive thing. 

Even on Facebook I do not speak and tell what I know and want and so on. You may call it censoring or call it to protect myself, but I say that I only are aware of what words can do, how words can fly and how easy it is to get beaten down for saying loud out. Don't get me wrong I am loud if needed, I tell what has to be told but I use my voice and words the way I believe is best also for me. As all reflects on you and comes back to you, I believe it is a healthy way of communicating. 

It's facsinating how communication function and how much influence a speech has. 

How important it is to watch your words as they become true or lead you to the path you maybe wanted to avoid. 

The freedom of speech means to have responsibility. 

Yes, to be able to speak is a dangerous thing which can free your mind and life and therefore will be cut from many people of power. But your thoughts are still free, as they sitt in your mind. Don't let them kill your inner talking. 

Discover it again if you have lost it. 

The responsibility lies also in using the freedom of speech for good things, for love and positive things instead for spreeding hate and fear and lies. 

But all in all... how high the challenge may be... I am very grateful of the freedom of speech. 

Love & Light

World Press Freedom Day

Today again we celebrate the world press freedom day. Which I could say we celebrate it for real but the truth is far away from it. Press freedom is still something we have to talk about, think about and fight for. Only each 6. man on the world lives in a country with press freedom as it is written in law, more or lesson. That is the lowest number since we've started to have a free press. 
But what does this number say? Not much actually or? It says that most people can't have a free press around them. Though more and more people are able to read, the things they read are mostly censored and directed. A lot of propaganda is in the press and a lot lies and more or lesson lies. 
The owner of most newspaper still come from the politic and so they say what and how to write. Or they are from the industry. So even in ol' Europe the press is in that case very one-sided. 
That makes it so difficult to tell people what to believe, when you discuss a theme. Actually most people don't reflect what they read cos they never learned to question. The same is for TV. Yes TV lies more then you could have ever imagine. The stories, the pictures are made up like a movie. It is drama, it is short but also very clearly one-sided. 
Though we are lucky that many bad things come up which have been hidden from us- it is as lucky we can be just the top of the iceberg. 
But fortunately there are little newspaper and magazines who report against all odds. They risk a lot. Not only reputation, life and security. They also risk a lot of money, because they have to find a way to survive on it's own. This is a hard thing to do and heroic- you may believe but no, it is just a must. 
Some people want you to learn to see, to understand and to be more free, because we are far to easy going with our freedom of free press, speech and our own information.
Just this year, 166 online- activist are looked. Only this year have been already 16 Journalists and 9 online- activist murdered. And this is just the number we get official. 
In fact we have a big problem to get our true information. Many countries have sett out laws which makes it next to impossible to work as an journalist. many countries have put up rules for paying high for a visit for special places like detention - to see and write about it. They don't want you to know that the government is hiding refuges on such bad places that the human rights are killed. 
These are just some ideas for you to get a bit of the picture we have to deal with. 
Why is this so important? It is very simple actually. The freedom of press is a sign for your freedom to live. But as I mention far to many take their freedom for given. And just when I think about my own country and a man called Edward Snowden, I could wonder. Why my own government is not showing any sign of caring for the fact that they have to protect us? NSA is doing an absolutely disturbing thing and it is all against the right of our freedom of information etc.. I really don't have to go deeper into this! 
Espionage is against press freedom, is against your freedom of keeping your secrets and well just your own information to keep to yourself. Whatever you do, you should be the one to say what is allowed to known for others. And a press must be free to investigate without getting a hammer in the knees. Which is happening when you have things like NSA going in that scale! But even if it is not that, we buy with credit cards and go to Amazon, Facebook etc. We leave our information and more information we want them to have, but they don't ask us and they also try to avoid to get the press inside their companies, because if we could read a bout it, would we be so easy going with our information? If our journalist could tell us what they really do with our lives and in our lives, would we be that naive? 
I guess not. So this is another reason why we have a very low press freedom, if at all. Most of us are just unaware of these facts. Some choose to stay blind.
Although some may say the press is lying why reading then?! Oh yes, they did a good work to make us unsure, but without a press and even it is such with little truth, the common people would not have had any chance to know what is going on, because even in lies we can read true things and we know what the devil is doing. This is why we better question what we read, why it is better to ask ourself who has an interest that we read this and that just in that moment.
So keeping up the good work is important and as more and more things are coming up to remind us and to show us, it is very important to keep up the fight for a free press. 

How powerful press and online-activists are is easy to see with every revolution, with every cut a system does. Just take the new "big" thing Russia. Next to all I know who wrote critical about the countries politic or have a theme which concern them- so they think- has been banned or blocked. 
The blog community can see it as we can read where our followers comes from and even those who wrote little lost their readers from Russia in the last month. 
And this is just for this country!
There you see how important it is to keep open ways, to find ways to open new ways and to speak out for free press and to tell people to take a deeper look and to have a bit courage.

Love & Light

Sotchi

Say something, I'm giving up on you.... 
Well, I may be tired, but giving up is never a choice on my way through this live.
And today I try to bring up some thoughts for the finishing of the Olympic games. 
One is a line I read: Only the thinking person changes their mind. 
And another one I remember is that only the brave will change the world. Although you don't need to be brave like in a movie or a fairy tale, but thinking, seeing and trying to get as near to the truth is important when you want to stop being blind by choice.
So Sotchi. 
Is over now and if you where not to blind you saw a big shadow over the games.
Many shadows actually. Some have not the reason in Sotchi, like the "war" in Ukraine. But others are to find on other places too. Like how you treat human kind and human dignity by being blind.
Yes the competition where as usual, fine, and great and also we had our drugs addicts. 
The show was going on as usual but then not as usual. Things have changed. 
You cannot be proud about wasted money to corruption. You can not be happy about people not getting their salary for the hard work they did. You cannot shine when you are not ready with the most buildings. And absolutely you cannot be happy by taking the sports man and women into a dirty game of politic. 
The IOC has sold the best they have to nothing. 
Cos what is the victory worth they got? 
Like nothing.
Because you cannot show love, cannot show empathy, cannot show life as it is- colorful and different. Because we are all different, we are all human, and in this special matter we are the only animal who knows homophobia, transphobia and so on. 
In next to every race you find homosexual habits and this never harm anyone. 
No other animal is killing his brother, sister or whatever just because he loves the same sex. 
No other animal then the human race beats each other for just the reason you think different, love different. 
No other animal then the human race claims the happiness is in danger because of homosexual feelings. 
The human race is the only stupid one. 
In that case... ( and some others..)
This is or could be a scary thought, couldn't be?
But how can you say something is unnatural, when it is exactly that... NATURAL.. or as we say it these days: When did you chose to be heterosexual? Cos if being gay is a choice, so is being heterosexual.

So to know a truth is easy. To tell truth is much more. But to understand and live the truth a challenge and to take the truth is the hardest way. 
Yes I know that first you'll be ignored, then laughed out and then be tried to fight back, before you can just live. 
That's what gays and lesbians, trans and intersexual people want. 
Just live a life without fear, danger and with the same right to kiss, hold hands, talk about it and so on. 

Forget telling me the lines from the bible, we all know them but also all the other lines and maybe you know what them means... and by the way, if you show me them, do you live by them yourself... bet not. Anyway.
Forget telling me about traditional marriage, because if you did your homework, you knew that there is no such thing. 

So this Sotchi is a start to think about, first- where to let the games start, second- how big and important human dignity should be, and then where has the love gone?!
Because if this is all about money- and just now it is, then it should be dead.
Blinding people by sport is nothing new, but telling them hate is the new truth is simple a waste of money and so we give out a waking call into the world, cos it seems sometimes, that the worst situation collects the most people in front of the TV. How can you watch games painted in blood? 
You are less weak then you are lazy and being stupid by choice.
So...
Love is the reason we came together in Berlin to show respect, strength and power and to talk to people, to show them, to make them see. 
Love is the reason why people tell us how they secretly live together for 40 years. 
Love is the reason why we hear stories from russian tourist about sexual abuse and how this is used to take you into prison, letting you get raped and then throwing you out being an outcast. 
Love is the reason why we show the videos from russian Nazis how they harm young people just because they may be gay. 
Love is the reason why we talk about places in the world where you get killed because hate lead people to the conclusion you're not worth a damn and therefore you should be killed. 
Love is the reason why we can tell that all this may be in the name of religious but never in the name of Jesus, God or Love itself. 

I can understand, if you don't understand the way of life of another people but this should never be a reason to beat, harm, kill, abuse and forbid others to talk about. 
So...
Love is the reason why we try our best to show to those who are in fear, in situation with darker shadows then we have in our own country, that we don't look away, that we still are on to trust into, relate too and we are still in a fight for a positive, loving future, all around the world.
The drum beats will never end before love is acceptable for all.

Peace is what we all want- well most of us, if you are less selfish as some... 
Love is all we need and want and can get and even give, but only when we let lose of hate, of being blind by choice, of being stupid by looking away.

So.... giving hope is a choice we made and will make again and again.. spreading Love, the fire of colors, the chance of happiness in each and everyones live...!

Somewhere over the rainbow and beyond and behind there is not only a blue sky, there are birds which fly, so why shouldn't we? 

LOVE & LIGHT


--> and here are the pics of our last come together at the rainbow flame... yes we stood there day and night 24 /7 - all the 16 days of Sotchi, all the 15 nights...  more people then expected came and here we can shine a light, hope and send you all around the world a thought of a helping hand.... and we talked, showed and protected, no matter if it did rain, shine, or stormy wind blowed around our nose... thanks to everyone who stood up, helped making this happen... thanks to all the hearts and souls... thanks to all the love and light... thanks... enough is enough, stop homophobia and Love is not for propaganda.. Love is for free and the open minded.... stop being blind, stop looking away... breath and talk... say something good, say something loving..

where happy little birds fly

So fly with us... fly , fly high... fly with love and into the light... let the shadows pass by.... :-)

CSD- Christopher Street Day... Do we really need it?

Do we really think the CSD is needed? Is it not just a Street Party with crazy people running around half naked? Does people on the boardwalk understand what it is about? Does they see what these gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transexuals are talkin' about? It's so much music, so much party, so much alcohol.... Can we take this earnest? Has this demonstration lost it's sense? 
Let's take a deeper look....:-)
Yes there are a lot of people comin' year after year to party, to show fetish, to show skin, to show themself and to be in drag, but also we have a lot of people comin' just as they are. Normal clothes and attitude. So, should only they come, because they have the better attitude? I think both is necessary. The Christopher Street Day is about diversity. 
You don't see it, because you think it's just a commerce. The venture of just white people, or the venture with just the leather fetish people or all those crazy drags... Well, look deeper and see who is walkin' then you'll see we have diversity... you don't believe it and go to the alternative CSD? Well, what I saw there was less diversity and acceptance then on the commerce CSD. The most were dressed in black and looked unfriendly when we ( me and some friends) colorful people came and they preach tolerance to everyone and call the commerce CSD intolerant. Well, seemed to be the other way around, which does not mean that everything is just nice and better on the commerce CSD. 
Yes they do drink a lot alcohol, and some come just to party, without thinkin' about why we have the CSD what we want to tell with this parade of joy. And yes a lot of people/ viewers don't really realize that this is not only a party train and you're right when you say that many don't know the real problem these gay and lesbians and transexuals have been through and still going through. 
So is the CSD too less political... well, there was a time when the CSD was more a commerce party then political demonstration, but that has changed again... It became more and more visible again, that we have a lot to fight for... still ...and that the end of the street is far away.  Not only in other countries our brothers and sisters have problem to stay alive or too be the way they are, because if they would be so open like we in germany they would be killed or had to fly...or in other countries speaking about being gay is forbidden or you get slashed... hanged or simple does not exist anymore. You know, in some countries they say gays does not exist, it's just a disease of the western world or only the problem of white people.
And women who love women just need the right man to turn around, also against the will of them.
Violence is often a common experience. An experience we know here too in Germany.

But the western world is still not that open and ready and free and enlightened as we used to say. 
Just take a look at the laws and then the behavior of the folks... And then the homosexual, bisexual and transexual self are still fighting with self- confidence with the right way to live and to love and to work and to accept themself.
So these demonstration is to show proud, way of livings, different kinds of families, hopes, wishes and calls of what we need or think should change in law or the thinking of the people... 

BUT do they have to party that much? Does it not harm all the ideas, all the fight?
WELL, NO. Because to party was always a part of the CSD. It was also to show that celebrating the life is part of being proud and showing that we are worth to be love and worth to be listen, worth to be accepted. That gays and lesbians and their friends will stop being victims. 
And then MUSIC has always be a part of any demonstration... Music helps to keep the people together, to make them strong, to say to the viewers and addressee that we are here and wont be silent and wont stop till we've got what we want. May it be a singing, may it be a trumpet, may it be a dance.... A demonstration would not be that strong without music... just look in the history of demonstration on the streets! Since we know about them, they all have some kind of music. 

But all those naked people or all those fetish people...must this be???
Well, must it be? There is no need for that--- you're right but then with the fetish people... this was from the beginning part of the CSD too, to show diversity, that they are sometimes like the stereotype people have -but also different to this. That the world is bigger than the little mans thinkin'... a chance to brighten your view, which I must confess still too less people take. 
And those naked people--- mmh, like I wrote- some people don't take it so earnest and some of them have an very free interpretation and just want to shock. Nothing agains nudity from my side, but I do think maybe far too many try to abuse demonstration like these for their behavior. 
To say them to stay out of the party? I am afraid, we are "a free world", but maybe we can try to make them understand, if they want to be naked on street, they can try to make their own party... we should tell them that this has nothing to do with politic, just being naked. And if they really want to be political as a nude then they have to show it with posters, with signs... but being just naked... thank you but thank you no.... !

The sad truth is that the press likes these people and also all those "crazy" and funny stuff you'll see and  the more mad it seems, the better they think it is.... sad 'cos once a part of the press used to write "right" about it. 
But with the change of everything we have from time to time and because nothing stays the same, I have hope that more and more people learn to understand, learn to accept, learn to see and learn to save lives and love.... and open their minds and souls... Am sure this will take time, but if nobody would be on the streets telling that gays and lesbians, transexuals and bisexuals exist... how could we change our point of view, if no one is showing us other ways..?

LOVE & LIGHT

waking up with the number 999

Why am I writing this?
Well, thought you should think about being a free people... won't you?
Are you? Are we? 
Not really.
Why?
Well, we have the money and who owns the money?
The banks! Yes it's all theirs and so they have all the power.
Have they? Well.... they have a lot and we all know the richest families in the world makes the politics... Our big politicians are just dolls for the richest people... and their banks.. they tell what to do and they want us to believe they have all the best plans for us.... remember some slogans from the advertising...:"We do it for you!"... that means...STAY STUPID!
You know what... they stop all the things which could make us give out less money...true... and you know what: Did you realize that the banks have the code numbers 666, and the scancode when you buy something has the 666 too and the clock you wear on your hand has the 666 inside too and your credit card is saved under a big number with a 666...? That the "www" makes the number 666 and the the word Computer makes the 666 too etc..
You heard about the number 666 once? Yes, from the Bible, from the Kabbalah... and there we can read it's the number of the Lucifer, the dark side of the world.. the side who wants you to be a slave... it's the number of the machines. 
Oh yes we are slaves of the bank.... the more you pay by internet and credit card... the more slave are you... they get to know everything you do...
My friends in the USA, do you know that your country has no own money? No, all your money is from the FED-bank... it's borrowed. Your country borrows money from a private bank and so you pay all the interest to a private bank, which makes more then a lot of money and everything in your country is own by this private bank... in fact you don't own anything....! And yes, there is a law since 1913 who made all this possible and still, but still you have a law which says that someone who is harm the country from inside or outside is your enemy... and the law says that the enemy deserves the dead.... but as long you don't wake up and fight for your right to be free, they can go on keeping you a slave 'cos you can never pay back all the money you have borrowed, because of the interest.... think about it.... won't you be free?
So wake up.. everywhere- cos everywhere we have a bank and next to all banks are connected to the richest families of the world, ..they try to keep us stupid, with TV Shows and Stars and stupid films, but also we have a chance.. see documentation, look for films on youtube, go out in the real world and find the truth behind the things around you, 'cos all you can imagine exists.. and is able in all way- positive and negative... learn and -.... open your mind and heart... 'cos you have to ask yourself, 'cos all the answers are to find inside you and around you.. just open your eyes and see... really see... 
Remember all the films of the future, the fiction films we saw and see, all is real... can you believe that? Make yourself a believer of options... 
You believe in god, that's o.k. but stop believing in the rules... you know what I mean.. all these -you are only allowed to do this and that.... bla bla bla
.... only one believe is worth following... LOVE... yes it's a well known thing.. nothing new.. is that all I have to say????
WEll, the way has hope.... god and aliens.. together..is this a question? Should be not.. why
...all things tell us, this is real... a creator... a big mind and aliens... why not..:-)

What if you start using your mind... will it be hard.... yes... that's part of the way
What if we start with new technics... will people get hurt and lose the work? Yes.. they did with the upcoming of the computer too- but new ways will be found... and new technics already exist!
Will someone try to stop you...? can be very much possible, but go on listening to your heart..
Will we have chaos in the future, when we stand together for a better world, and try to break down the power of the banks.... that can be sure..it's part of the way too... they just won't give up the power...
Can you dream of a better world... DO it...! Your though becomes reality!
It will take time... I guess ...and can be a challenge...

Include the number 999 into your live... it's the number of a free mind and spirituality...

Oh ----yes, before I forget it, read all the forbidden books about everything..! You can find them... ! How? Here is a secret I can tell you.... You only have to want it... all you have to do is wanna find them, the way is your own, -so no special way,no, just your own... just go and search, listen, see and believe.. but above all this... you really have to want it... will you really find and read them... get to know more about the truth and get behind all the lies they tell us since years.... about everything...? Will you? 
Oh...oh I could go on with this a long time, but for today... it's a start and more to write about this is to come...

Hoping for a better world with doing nothing for it is a week way... be strong.. do something and start with... waking up and stop being a stupid kid...:-)
I mean why are there so many secrets, when they say we know everything?!
Why are they so many secret organizations, when there is nothing to hide, like they say?
Why are some families so rich? Do they know something we don't?
Why has the church a secret archive, when they say, they say only the truth? What do they have to hide? 
Why are we getting to know more and more secrets from next to every topic in the news -and if you are smart- you know it's just a little part they tell us....?!
Don't you wanna know? Don't you?!

With all my LOVE and LIGHT - I wish you success.... to make our world to become a better place in the future... we can make it.. we have all we need... 
YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED! 
YOU!

Some things are better left unsaid..?

Greetings from Russia

Sometimes it seems that some things are better left unsaid for good, but then sometimes it's a law who makes you think about that.... Like in Russia this time... St. Petersburg.
There is a law which say it is not allow to say the word gay or to show a picture of that, or that a man kiss a man on the street or two woman kissing.... it is also not allowed to say something similar, which means gay... first... it's a big surprise that they say yes to this law, cos I read that St. Petersburg is the hometown of russian culture... was I wrong? 
Second, do they not have better things to do? I mean they have a lot of problems which may need more lightning then to say to the gay.. make Love just at home and don't tell about it, don't write about it.... I mean part of a culture is also the press.. but with this law, no gay press is able and no parade... no sign of pride to be who you are.... 
Are the gays the next jews?
'Cose the jews had to flee after the german wall was broken and so the culture in Europe changed.... Seems not always in a good way. To be true this is sad...!

But you know what is crazy and on the other side no surprise... I read that a newspaper ask over one thousand people about the law and whether they have ever seen advertising for gay and the answers were: 94 % never saw anything like that but 84% think that the law is right...
Something which seems familiar. 
How? Well let's take a look to elections... the highest scores for right parties are to find where the less numbers of foreigners are. The more foreigners the people know- the less vote for the fascists. 

But there is a right which should be able to live everywhere... it's the freedom of speech... 

I read from a russian woman here in Germany that the german should not meddle in foreign affairs.
Right we have our own problems but after so many years Russian told us what to do and especially the people in east germany... ( the USA did this with the west part of Germany too) I think we have the right to say and the need to say and look what is going on, 'cos maybe we have learned what the russian seems to have forgot... The way to democracy is no easy way, but I don't tell you to do it exactly like we did, but I tell you to think about what you do... 'Cos gay and lesbian are people to accept and to live together with... they are no criminals and that is another thing why I am so up.... the law put gays on the same level like the pedophile! THIS IS SIMPLE A SHAME! ' COS THE GAYS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PEDOPHILES!!!!!
Well it's o.k. not to like seeing people kissing each other on the street but this is a thing we have to live with in a free world, in a world of peace - if you want to have a world in peace- Love is a pure thing and you can only live it but deny it you will get sick... that's a common truth and something we will learn sooner or later in our lives. But it's a stupid thing to say I don't like kissing gays but do like heterosexual  kissing each other... So before you forbid- get to know them and learn... those gays are very much o.k. if you let them... and crazy people are everywhere... this is nothing which has a sex.

So my hope is that the rest of the country sees that and that the law will be destroyed with wisdom and the knowledge of the common things we have together... but be sure me and many of my friends will never stop lookin' at you till you learned the lesson and till open your hearts... and minds....

street art and those who destroy it...

I'm pretty sure you know about street art, don't you? Well in many towns we have them now and not only in the big once. We all know the discussions about the "paintings" at the wall..... well is it art or is it just an ugly way to show that you where there???? Oh yes, I've seen a lot very good once and beautiful but then much more often ugly once and not only on walls, in the underground, in a hiss or on cars or old buildings, also on real art of other artists.

What did we not do to listen to the "kids" -some of them say they only do art, but we all know for long-that this is a lie.

We can barely see art in most of the " paintings". So we mad the walls unable to have fun to paint on. That didn't stop them.... :-(

What happened in the underground? They started scratching... on the windows... :-(

Then we gave them places, walls to paint on.... it was not enough it seems... :-(

Then we said- if you are that good as you say... paint on my wall, we pay.... still it was not enough it seems.... :-(

And the saddest thing is... I think so, that they talk about respect but do neither respect the art of others, our buildings, the government or their own company... I mean I have seen it a lot of times, that some really beautiful graffiti was made and then after a while I saw those tacks written all over it... :-(

What's the point of that, if not it means just foolish destroy, no matter what... that they really know it's forbidden and so that this is kind of a game with the police without thinkin' of others... So this is with quite a crime....

......

So what to do more.... how to teach respect to all... is this possible nowadays?

LOVE & LIGHT

Press Freedom

Today I'm going to write about press freedom.

We all have read about it in many ways here and there, now and then... haven't we?

Every year in every country in Europe you can read about journalists who are sitting in prisons. A part has been for years, others just arrested. The biggest part is waiting for a court date, but usually has no chance without the help from outside.

Sometimes the press self speaks/ writes of fighting for the right of the freedom of speech.

In particular, our Western press complains about the abuse of press freedom in other countries. Rightly so?

Yes, it is one of the achievements of democracy, a free press to have and to grant them.

We read about the bad conditions in different countries. We read about how journalists live dangerously on foot, they want to write about certain things.

We all read about how important it is to inform people, to bring the truth to daylight. We read about the importance of diversity for democracy and freedom of its people.

And we see how difficult it is to free journalists. We read but not very often why it is so.

Why does it sometimes take decades to liberate a journalist? Why do we sometimes do not even know where he is caught? Often we do not even know why he was imprisoned. What has he worked with? What was he looking for? What has he found?

The truth is, we know less... We maybe got to know 20-30% of all the things in the world which are goin' on and about the truth or lies of things. How could this be...?

Well, guess one thing is, it's impossible to know everything and to get to know... and of curse the most of us don't want to know everything and then there are those who doesn't want us to know everything, every step...

Those who want us to get stupid, to not to know about using your own mind. People are more easy to handle if they just follow and believe what it is said and never ask about it. A fool is easier to dump, easier to sell and to direct. A fool needs a master, a leader someone to look up without asking. But a clever mind never does have the feel of a need for a master and Co. He will prefer a teacher, a friend, a representative.

So what does it means to the press freedom?

Do we have a press freedom here in Europe?

Nope.

Well, yes we can read a lot and there are a lot news to read and hear from other countries and our own and we get to know this and that but do we get to know the whole truth? Nope.

We just get a part of it and it depends on the theme how much you can get.

Let's take a look at the newspapers. Who is behind them? Who owns it? What is he? Right, left, liberal? This is critical as the newspaper is their opinion and influence the reader. The decision about how a critical journalist may express about certain things. So, that means the most critical texts are rarely out of the country's own.

But there is another problem of our time. We have the Internet. Millions of information and most are not verified or investigated whether its accuracy. We have already seen how supposedly correct information or with other words false information has been circulated as true.

The funny things is, I know false stories that have been declared by the author to be false and yet remain in power continue to be accurate, because they were deemed to be correct, although the cause was confirmed several times that this was wrong and is. Crazy world where wrong gets right.

Secondly, we live in a fast time. The attention span of customers has decreased.

This means everything must be given concisely as appetizers, so that the customer is on the ball. So-called stopper, sometimes even just headlines need to tickle the customer.

Take your time for information from the media? Who does that? Is that still? It works, but very few have managed to create such a customer base.

Who is to blame for that? The media self or just the computers, the Internet?

Well I guess it's both of them. The revolution of the Internet and the private media have lead to a speeding up of all information and of course to get more in shorter time.

But then, there is one more problem...

The journalists have hardly had time to investigate, prepare to question, to inquire.

In addition, the training of journalists is no longer what it once was. Nowadays there are more and more queer entry, which is also often a means of degenerate levels, as well as the conversations are not always correctly reproduced. The content is often unintentionally distorted.

So what happened is, that they get the news in short and then send it to everyone and delete what they think people should not know or they can't sell so well.

Another fact of the power of the press is when they write too much of the same thing... it's not only getting boring after a while, it can get you happy or depressed... especially when it comes to crime.

Much for often do we read about it, hear about it, see about it and you just get the feeling of everyone must be a cruel, a criminal, this world sucks.

And how often did we hear, the press "just" and "only" write or tells about it. The news on TV says only the truth. But fuck off, this is so not true. It's so often black and white and what is right then?

Mixing the facts? But honestly... Only if it's not just mixing, it should be more being about asking and then not so much about showing the blood.

Yesterday I saw Gaddafi and the different of the news... you know there were pics just as he was before he get shoot and some with blood on his face.... Why do we need them to see? Is it we don't trust the press anymore?

Well, two years ago, I saw a documentation about a town in England where the newspaper- the owners ventured an experiment. They wrote a whole year not on page one to three on Crime and showed only photos, if they really considered to be important. That is, they wrote only in small articles on the other side about it.

Guess what!? After one year, the police could find a decrease of 40% of violent crime and riots.

40%!!!!!!

That! IS MUCH! So, if we all are so afraid of crime and we all think we should do something, then why, why, why don't we start here!

Because the funny thing is, all the cameras, all the Supervisory doesn't help at all. Most crimes are prevented by people of courage.

So how do we get back the courage to the press for having a true free press here home at our own place?

I only remember one year with a free press, with freedom of speech without anger, without fear. That was in the year from 1989- '90, the year after the wall was broken and that was a good year after all.

So maybe let's start on our doorstep.

Stand up for a free press on your own place!

LOVE & LIGHT
