Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Today it’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, every 3rd monday of January we are commemorating the birth of Martin Luther King Jr.
He was born on January 15 1929 and shot on April 4 1968.
King was a non violent activist and leader in the Civil Rights Movement.
His famous words “I Have a Dream” from his speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963 :
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.’
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.

Non voluntary organ donor registration
Our “democratic” goverment has decided that everybody needs to be an organdonor. So if you don’t take action you’ll be registered as a donor.
Well if I wanted to be a donor I would have registered myself a long time ago.
I registered on 16 september 2016 that I don’t want to be a donor, checking the website, my registration is valid from 10 november 2016. Donor badges (even if you don’t wan to be a donor) are allready sent with a valid from date in the future …
So what’s the real agenda of our “democratic” goverment? Indeed, I don’t trust them.
Btw, your organs are harvested while you’re alive : http://www.orgaandonatienadedood.nl/ (in dutch)

It’s not too late to help a hero!
Give Chelsea Manning the gift she deserves
Friends, we are facing a challenge, and we need your help.
This year, while people everywhere prepare to spend holidays with their families, taking much-needed breaks from work and everyday life, a humanist and a hero remains imprisoned.
As supporters of Army whistleblower Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning, you have impressed us for three years with your dedication, and the hope it’s given to Chelsea and those closest to her. Next Tuesday, December 17, marks Chelsea’s fourth birthday in prison, and we are asking you now to help us give her the support she deserves this holiday season.
For a limited time only, your donations will be matched by a generous anonymous donor – this means that if you give $100 today, then $200 will go to her Defense Fund.
While young, Chelsea has faced many life-altering challenges. She suffered a violent and dysfunctional home environment, bullying for being gay, and even a period of homelessness prior to joining the army at the age of 19. Through all these obstacles, she remained committed to educating herself, asking hard questions, and taking risks in the name of helping other people. That is why upon witnessing injustices in the Iraq War, she felt compelled to show the public the truth about government actions in the Middle East and elsewhere.
She now faces up to 35 years in prison for her actions, and was it not for your support, Chelsea might have to face this challenge alone.
Help Support the Defense Fund. For a limited time, donations will be doubled by a matching grant!
And if you agree that 35 years is far too long a sentence for showing the public the truth, please share this message widely with your friends!

Verplicht donor worden …..
Medisch specialisten en patiëntenverenigingen willen dat er een actief donorregistratiesysteem komt, waarmee mensen die na een derde oproep nog steeds niet hebben gereageerd, automatisch donor worden. Volgens de NOS is hierover een brief gestuurd naar de informateurs van VVD en PvdA.
Tja het is heel simpel : als mensen niet reageren op dit soort spam kan je er gerust van uit gaan dat ze geen zin ( om wat voor reden dan ook ) hebben om donor te worden.
Diep triest dat mensen dan toch gedwongen worden om donor te worden.
Wel of geen donor worden bepaal je nog steeds zelf, niet 1 of andere corrupte overheid
Nederland gaat steeds meer lijken op die landen waar Nederland zowel in het verleden als nu zoveel commentaar op heeft.
