On Tuesday November 1st we go to the polls to vote for our next president.
I am so tired of hearing that a third party candidate can't win. And way too many people this country feel that way, and also seem to think that no third party candidate has ever won.
Either the history now taught in school is sadly lacking, people have forgotten what they were taught in history, or both. No matter which one it is, the fact of the matter is that once upon a time we did have a third party candidate who was not only on the ballot, but also won! All the votes that went to the third party candidate was NOT a vote for either candidate in the other two major parties of the day.
Way back in the 1800's, two parties dominated politics. At the time of election in question the two...

Open Letter to the people of India
I am writing this letter very humbly to people of India. I am a Kashmiri who is appealing you to convey to your government to stop using violence against Kashmiri people. India is a great civilization with a remarkable history. It is the land of Ram. Ram means peace,brotherhood, magnanimity, sacrifice and immense love. It is the land of Gandhi who preached and practiced non violence. He stood up for the oppressed. He was selfless. It is the land of Buddha where ahimsa, tolerance and love emerged. It is the land of Ashoka and Chandragupta Maurya. Rulers who shed lot of blood but later on they became voices of peace, love and brotherhood.Ordinary citizens of India are great people. India the land of sadhus, sufis and saints should only represent love....

Ok so my thoughts on this are that the same people saying “Black Lives Matter” tend to be the ones saying “all Islamic people are not terrorists”. Now both statements are true of course, however, the two statements are a bit contradictory when placed together. As you take an objective look at the numbers, cops account for a VERY small percentage of the total black people killed in America every year. Cops are responsible for well under 5% of the murders of black people per year. So therefore, yes, one person killed by the cops is TOO many, however, it still is a VERY small contribution to the total number of black people killed. Yet it is pushed to the forefront as THE most pressing issue. It is put on covers of magazines. It is protested. It is everywhere!! Yet when it comes to Islamic...

To Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull,
I am aware of the controversy this topic causes, and I am aware of the pressure you are under with arguments from both sides. I am also aware that you have already heard from children of same sex parents, as they visited Parliament house in Canberra the other day as 'Rainbow Families'.
However I am sadly also aware that you did not listen, not even to a 13 year old boy named Eddie Blewett who asked you a question (formally presented to you in Parliament by Tanya Plibersek): "Why should people who barely know us make an assumption on our families and vote on how we can live?"
To this question, you avoided, side stepped, and, to be frank, bull-shitted. I have a question for you, Prime Minister - Are you, a man in your early 60s who has had...

There are at least two Hillary Clintons. There is the one we all see on TV that waves, smiles, stumbles, avoids reporters, and lies whenever caught in a criminal act or ethical breach. Then there is the Hillary Clinton who called me in 2001, confirming that she could solve my legal problems with $500,000 paid to a certain lawyer.
Having already met President Bill Clinton in 1997 (he only wanted a donation and to bed my executive assistant) http://www.scam.com/entry.php?3589-Seized-Book-Manuscripts-of-Former-Federal-Agent-Bruce-Gorcyca-Has-Six-Chapters-About-Jeb-Bush-amp-Hillary-Clinton-Crimes I was more than surprised to see Hillary was at the opposite end of the personality spectrum. To be fair, I never met Hillary, but in retrospect, maybe that is a good thing.
Although it was Jeb...

Her Excellencies and His Excellencies,
Governments of SAARC.
Greetings from Peoples’ Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR).
South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) was created in 1985 as a socio-economic grouping with its main rationale to "promote the well-being" of the people of South Asia through regional cultural and economic cooperation. The hope was that greater regional cooperation would generate "mutual trust, understanding" and appreciation of one another's problems[i].
SAARC has addressed several gender and child rights related issues through several agreements and common action plans. Such as SAARC Convention on Preventing and Combating Trafficking in Women and Children for Prostitution and SAARC Convention on Regional Arrangement for the Promotion...

Dear Nobel Laureate Malala, Let me begin by saying that your grit and courage is an inspiration to all young girls worldwide who yearn for an education but are denied it by religious fundamentalism. I also think that you are yet too young and not well-informed on all political matters across the world. For this reason, I thought I would apprise you about the situation in Kashmir that you seem to be so passionately concerned about.
Dear Malala, please take this letter in the spirit it’s meant to be- I understand the situation in Kashmir better in the same way you understand the politics of the SWAT valley.
In your address to the UN you said that the inhumanity and the heartbreak in Kashmir must be halted. You also urged India and Pakistan to stop the ongoing inhumanity in Kashmir...

As we all watched in disbelief George W. Bush stole the White House from Al Gore in 2000 when the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the popular vote of "We The People". As a result the entire world suffered...
The election thief launched a fabricated war with a wanton invasion of Iraq the UN condemned as an unprovoked inrenational war crime. Over 400,000 innocent civilians were killed in this fake war created with lies about Saddam Hussein and his invisible "WMDs" and an "imminent threat" of nuclear attack. Of those 400,000 unarmed innocent civilians killed, 8,000 of them were children who knew nothing about politics.
This 8 year criminal adventure of the election thief Bush totally destroyed...

Dear G20 Leaders of the World,
Please stop ignoring the huge elephant in the room and make direct demands that the U.S. government joins the 120 other nations that joined the international Criminal Court. WHY?
* So those responsible can be arrested and prosecuted for giving posion gas (Sarin) to other countries (Sec. of State Hillary Clinton even authorized Libya to transfer the illegal gas to Syria where it was used to kill over 1,000 civilian) http://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n24/seymour-m-hersh/whose-sarin
* So leaders who authorized illegal drone strikes that have killed over 3,500 innocent civilians, including 400 children can be prosecuted for war crimes. http://drones.pitchinteractive.com/
