Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations project.
Today I want to address the beauty of children and their innocence and want to remind each one of us, that it is our duty to protect them all, no matter their background. We can and must help ALL children.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The Black Eyed Peas decided to do an enormously important song, called "Where is the Love" something that I have been addressing for a long time so I am delighted to add my desire to theirs.

It's insane to me to think that it took two years after the Civil War for all enslaved to be free. Even more insane, it is taking almost 200 years after the Civil War for African American humans to be treated with respect and to have true freedom.
True freedom means walking down the street and not worrying about being a victim of a hate crime. True freedom means having the same level of health care if you get sick. True freedom means having a richness in your environment that includes quality schools and food. True freedom means you are not imprisoned for profit for crimes you may have not committed or drugs the police planted on you. (And I must assert here that I view most prisons but especially for profit prisons as just modern day slavery). True freedom means you work hard and you get the same job and same pay scale as someone who is white and you aren't told by the boss you're just a "diversity hire" or "helping them reach their quota." True freedom means you are entitled to the same rights and treatment and opportunities as every white citizen.
We must do better. We have wasted far too many years living in an oppressive state of being. Audre Lorde said, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” I would say human. And, when one human is not free, neither are we.

All Women should be treated with respect.....!
The Maasai are one of the most impoverished tribes in East Africa. A noble and dignified people, they have proudly mantained their traditional lifestyle and cultural identity despite pressures of the modern world. In the process of preserving their culture, however, the Maasai have embraced a system that denies women basic human rights: the right to an education; the right to control her body, the right to choose whom and when to marry, the right to express an opinion.
Sitting Bull (1831–1890) – Born in the region of the Great Salt Lake, in present-day North Dakota, belonging to the Lakota Sioux tribe, Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotake) became one of the greatest chiefs and spiritual leaders of his people. Raised in a nomadic community of bison hunters, he learned from a young age the skills of survival, respect for nature, and leadership.
He was known for his wisdom, courage, and moral integrity. He was not naturally aggressive: he always sought to protect his people and their lands, avoiding unnecessary conflicts, but he knew how to lead resistance when invasions and threats from settlers and the U.S. Army became inevitable.
Sitting Bull did not act as a vengeful warrior: his fight was always defensive, aimed at preserving the traditions, culture, and survival of his tribe. He was respected as both a spiritual and military guide and had a large following among the Lakota. His family was important in his life, but his main mission was the well-being of the Sioux people.
He led his people in numerous battles and conflicts, including the famous **Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876**, where the united forces of the Lakota and Cheyenne defeated Colonel George Armstrong Custer and the U.S. Army. This victory, however, intensified the hunt for the Sioux and forced him to take refuge in Canada for several years to protect his people.
Upon returning to the United States, Sitting Bull continued to fight for the rights and survival of the Sioux, but pressure from the government and army increased. On December 15, 1890, during an attempt by U.S. authorities to arrest him at Fort Yates, North Dakota, fearing he could lead Native resistance during the Ghost Dance movement, Sitting Bull was **killed by gunfire**, along with other members of his family. His death marked the end of an era of open resistance against the invasion of Native territories, but his figure remains a universal symbol of dignity, courage, peaceful resistance, and the defense of his culture.
This series of portraits honors men and women who gave their lives defending truth, justice, and human rights. I want to awaken consciences, showing young people and the world that the people must unite to resist and fight against injustice.
Back in 2016 the Francophinie summit was held in Madagascar and the ministry of population just decided to clean up the street to hide the poverty from being seen. They loaded an entire truck of homeless each night. Those human have been treated like a herd of zebu before being taken into a hangar. They were not allowed to go out during certain day and they were not given food.
"...be thou so steadfast in My love that thy heart shall not waver, even if the swords of the enemies rain blows upon thee and all the heavens and the earth arise against thee."
I am allways amazed from the incredible moral and even physicl strenght of african women.
Women’s rights around the world are an important indicator of understanding global well-being.

i rarely steal images, but this one just shows a woman who is not supposed to show the world she exists.
The rainbow flag has become the worldwide banner of the LGBT community because the major colors of the visible spectrum represent diversity among the entire human population. Humankind is one species, but we come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors. We have two basic genetic and anatomical sexes with a small minority that are in between or have some characteristics of both.
Then it gets more complicated. For reproductive purposes, most people are attracted to the opposite sex; however, a fairly big minority is attracted to the same sex, both sexes, or neither, and those attractions may change over the course of a person's life. Gender identity and expression for most people is related to their biological sex but not rigidly tied to it. How a person feels, acts, and presents themselves is part internal and part cultural, so it is subject to change, especially across space and time. Human society is not uniform throughout our planet, and it changes over the years, so is it any surprise that gender appearance, identity, social roles, and behavior can change and vary from person to person?
Unfortunately, some social groups, political organizations, ethnic groups, religious cults, families, and bigoted individuals try to force everybody to conform to rigid sexual conduct, gender roles, and outward appearance. Those who do not conform are branded as evil, perverted, or crazy and either forced to conform, expelled, beaten up, imprisoned, or killed.
In the United States, LGBT folks are fighting for our CIVIL RIGHTS. We are gaining some ground, but so-called "social conservatives" in some state and local governments are trying to erect new legal obstacles in our path. Some of them publicly call for our extermination. Hate crimes against us continue, and a few days ago in Orlando, a major terrorist attack by a lone gunman murdered at least 49 people at a gay nightclub.
2016 is an election year and one of the most vicious ever. In general, the same people who preach hatred against LGBT people are the same crowd who promotes hatred against people of color, opposes reproductive freedom for women, denies Climate Change and opposes meaningful measures to mitigate it, opposes environmental protection, opposes financial regulation, opposes Internet Neutrality, opposes an increase in the minimum wage, opposes election reform, but they approve of CORPORATE GREED, unlimited exploitation of our natural resources, unending overseas conflict, the militarization of our police forces, the expansion of private prisons, and a continued expansion of domestic surveillance without any accountability.
This particular graphic was copied from one of the many LGBT political action groups I subscribe to, and since it is a commonly used banner, this constitutes Fair Use.
Since my dire situation in #Greece seems to be to the liking of the countries from which I have been asking for help so far; I decided to plea with other countries as well if not for anything at least for urgent humanitarian relief and mediation in resolving this ongoing hostage-taking and my complete deprivation in this country.
#Japan is one of those countries. But the treatment I was given at their embassy in Athens last Thursday was not so different from what I have been experiencing in particular at the U.S. and Australian Embassies for all these years.
Because they also called the Police and I was eventually taken to the district Police Station where they held me in Custody for nearly 3 hours before I was being let go again, without ever being able to see anyone from Japan’s Embassy.

Famous Bangladeshi photojournalist Shahidul Alam now under arrest!
------
Journalism, witnessing the real story and expressing the opinions are not the crime. There may have a different view, but all citizens have the right to say. It is a constitutional right!
I think, he did not say against the sate in Al Jazeera, just expressed the reality as he saw and understood. He should not be arrested!
I know Shahidul Alam well since my work at #Drik ( 2001-2005). He is a nice man and a devoted social #activist. I worked for 5 years under his leadership. He wants a democratic good society with human rights establishment.

There was a rally for a Free Tibet in front of the Chinese Consulate in Vancouver. A few of us went down to show our support and to learn more about the cause. We realized the striking resemblance to that which happened in '84 to the Sikhs in India. It definitely inspired us to learn more and to further support worthy causes. To learn more you can go to www.tibet.ca . As well, please sign the petition at www.avaaz.org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/21.php/?cl=65386669
Gaza suffers under Israeli blockade
The one-and-a-half million Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to cope amid power cuts as Israel continues its fuel blockade of the territory.
The shutdown of Gaza's only power plant has prompted fears of a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Moaiya Hassanain, a health ministry official, said: "We have the choice to either cut electricity on babies in the maternity ward or heart surgery patients or stop operating rooms."
Gaza City awoke on Monday to find bread shops and petrol stations closed.
----------------------------------------------
This, and the killings of other Palestinians during the week, plus the closures, "raise very serious questions about Israel's respect for international law and its Commitment to the peace process", Dugard said. He said it violates the strict prohibition on collective punishment contained in the Fourth Geneva Convention, and one of the basic principles of international humanitarian law: that military action must distinguish between military targets and civilian targets.
let us all be with gaza in its darkeness and suffer......till this have an end
