Since 1984 the journalist and author Andreas Klamm has produced and conducted hundreds of interviews on radio and television. He has celebrated in 2004 his 20th anniversary as a broadcast journalist on radio and television and came up with a surprise to many of his viewers and listeners when he said: “I do want to leave Germany and want to live and workas soon as possible in the United States of America and die as late as possible in the United States of America. Certainly I will be not buried in Germany but as late as possible in the United States of America. Please try to understand that I prefer to live and work in the future in the United States of America.” In October 2007 the FRENCH – GERMAN journalist, broadcast journalist and author has requested with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. the change of the citizenship from the German one into the American citizenship.

Only as a secondary profession after a training of three years in October 1993 he became also a registered nurse (R.N.) and has been working both on the Intensive Therapy Unit in Germany and in the United Kingdom in London. On the ITU he wears his blue uniform. He is still sometimes working only part-time as a registered nurse (R.N.).

Because of some special circumstances he is working full time as a journalist, broadcast journalist and author for the patients democracy and liberty as he made a statement on the radio program “Liberty and Peace NOW!” recently. The patients democracy and liberty are in quite critical conditions and my hope is we do not have to put them on the respirator or ventilator. The patients democracy and liberty, this is a part of my hope, will not need Advanced Cardic Life Support (ACLS). Photo: 3mnewswire.org

Ein Bestseller, der hilft – Jennifer: Ich will nicht, dass ihr weint

jennifercranenkrebshilfeEin Bestseller, der hilft

Jennifer: Ich will nicht, dass ihr weint

London / Norderstedt / Aachen /3mnewswire.org/ (intl). Es war einer der schwersten Momente, die Marianne Cranen vor rund vier Jahren erleben musste. Ihre 16jährige Tochter schrieb kurz vor ihrem Tod ein Buch und ihr letzter Wunsch war, es dieses Buch zu veröffentlichten. Kurze Zeit starb die 16jährige Jennifer Cranen an einer schweren und außergewöhnlichen Krebs-Erkrankung.

Die Aufarbeitung des Buches ist der Mutter nicht leicht gefallen. Ihr wurde bewusst durch das Werk und Buch ihrer Tochter, dass junge Menschen die Dinge oft ganz anders betrachten als Menschen, die nicht selbst von einer schweren Erkrankung betroffen sind.

Jennifer hatte den Wunsch geäußert, dass mit dem Buch anderen an Krebs erkrankten Kindern geholfen wird. Das ist gelungen. Das Buch „Ich will nicht, dass ihr weint“ von Jennifer Cranen, erschienen im BOD-Verlag Norderstedt wurde über 17.000 mal verkauft und gelangte in die Bestseller-Listen.. Zudem wurde ein Hilfs-Verein gegründet. Krebskranke Kinder wurden mit dem Erlös von mehr als 35.000 Euro unterstützt. In einer weiteren Sonder-Edition wurde das Buch mehr als 40.000 mal verkauft.

Die junge Jennifer Cranen hilft über ihren Tod hinaus und hilft auch heute noch Krankenschwestern, Ärzten und anderen Menschen zu verstehen, was schwerst kranke Menschen denken, fühlen und erleben. Das konnte Jennifer in ihrem Buch der Nachwelt hinterlassen.

In einem Interview bei Radio IBS Liberty mit dem Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autor mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm, beschreibt die Mutter der Besteller-Autorin Jennifer, Marianne Cranen, was sie im Zusammenhang mit der Krebs-Erkrankung, dem Tod und der Veröffentlichung des Buches ihrer Tochter erlebte.

Inzwischen wurde auch ein Verein gegründet der in Aachen und in Deutschland krebskranken Kindern und ihren Angehörigen hilft. „Wir sollten Menschen die an Krebs erkrankt sind nicht allein lassen.“, bittet Marianne Cranen. Die Menschen alleine zu lassen, ist das Schlimmste was passieren kann. Jennifer habe oft geweint und gefragt: „Weshalb kommt denn keiner?“

„Sollen die Menschen in so einer schweren Situation noch einsam sein. Ist das nötig?“, ergänzt die Mutter.

Das Buch „Ich will nicht, dass ihr weint“ von Jennifer Cranen, ISBN 978-3-8334-2790-9, Paperback, 160 Seiten, (€ 11,90), erschienen im BOD-Verlag Norderstedt, ist in jeder Buchhandlung erhältlich. Weitere Informationen gibt es im Internet auf der Internet-Seite www.crazyjenni.de/jennis_gedenkseite .

Right Livelihood Award Schweden

Jakob von Uexkull: Menschen sollten sich mehr in der Politik engagieren und Demokratie verteidigen

Von Andreas Klamm

New York / London / Stockholm./3mnewswire.org/13. November 2008. „Die Menschen sollten sich mehr in der Politik engagieren und die Demokratie verteidigen.“, das sagte der Gründer und Direktor der Right Livelihood Award Foundation in Schweden, Jakob von Uexkull, in einem Interview mit dem Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autor mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm, in einem Radio-Interview bei Radio IBS Liberty.

Am 8. Dezember wird Jakob von Uxekull den Preisträgern des Right Livelihood Award der Auszeichnung für das Jahr 2008 die Preise im Parlament von Schweden in der Stadt Stockholm überreichen. Der Right Livelihood Award ist weltweit bekannt als alternativer Nobelpreis, der jährlich in den Tagen vor der Nobel-Preis-Verleihung an die Empfänger des internationalen Preises verliehen wird. Den Preisträgern ist der Preis oft eine große Hilfe, weil die engagierten Frauen und Männer bisher oft ohne jede finanzielle Unterstützung wichtige Projekte der sozialen Transformation realisiert haben, die für viele Menschen in aller Welt von kaum schätzbarer Bedeutung und Nutzen sind.

In diesem Jahr werden, Monika Hauser, eine Ärztin aus Deutschland, die in vielen Krisenregionen und Kriegs-Gebieten in dieser Welt gearbeitet hat, um den überlebenden Opfern und Frauen von Massenvergewaltigungen und sexueller Gewalt während der Kriege zu helfen und sie zu rehabilitieren. Monika Hauser gibt den Opfer von Gewalt, Schutz und Unterstützung und engagiert sich auch dafür, dass die Vergewaltigung von Frauen während der Kriege als Kriegs-Verbrechen verfolgt und bestraft wird. In diesem Bereich setzte sich die Ärztin auch in großen Gefahren unter anderem während des Krieges in Bosnien und in Asien ein.

Asha Hagi ist eine Parlamentarierin in Somalia. Somalia ist bekanntlich ein Land, das im Chaos versinkt. Das hat die Frau nicht davon abgehalten einen Clan für Frauen zu gründen. Bisher gab es in dem Land, das immer wieder durch Kriege zwischen den Stämmen und Clanen erschüttert wird, fünf Clan-Organisationen, die ausschließlich von Männern repräsentiert waren. Asha Hagai gründete den sechsten Clan. Den Clan der Frauen. Sie engagiert sich zudem für Frieden und für ein Ende der immer wieder neu aufflammenden Kämpfe in Somalia. Sie mischte sich gewissermaßen damit gleichberechtigt in die Verhandlungen ein. Den Right Livelihood Award erhält sie für diese Arbeit und Mut den die Frau einbrachte.

Ein Ehepaar aus Indien wird ebenso ausgezeichnet mit dem Right Livelihood Award. Nach Schweden kann jedoch „nur“ die Ehefrau Krishnammal Jagannathan reisen, da ihr Ehegatte schon weit über 90 Jahre alt ist. Das Ehepaar und Krishnammal Jogannathan arbeitete schon mit Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi zusammen. Ihr Hauptziel ist dafür zu sorgen, dass die Menschen ohne Land, Zugang zu Land erhalten. Das Interesse an der Arbeit Ghandis wächst durch das Engagement des Ehepaars sehr. Dies vor allem auch aufgrund der wachsenden Probleme durch den Klimawandel.

Als erste Journalistin in der Welt wird eine der besten Journalistinnen in dieser Welt zum ersten Mal mit dem Right Livelihood Award ausgezeichnet und gefördert. Amy Goodman, die Gründerin eines kleinen alternativen Medien-Imperiums in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und eines politischen Informations-Programmes, das auch der Ausbildung dient, Democracy NOW! (www.democracynow.org) wurde im September 2008 während einer politischen Bericht-Erstattung verhaftet. Am 8. Dezember 2008 wird sie die erste Journalistin in der Welt sein, die den angesehenen Right Livelihood Award, den alternativen Nobel-Preis, erhalten wird.

Das Projekt Democracy NOW! gründete die Journalistin, die an der angesehenen Harvard University in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika studierte und seit Jahr 1984 Radio-Sendungen produziert. Democracy NOW! kann als Radio- und Fernseh-Sendungen inzwischen weltweit in der englischen Sprache bei mehr als 700 regionalen Fernseh-Stationen und rund 250 Radio-Stationen, von Montag bis Freitag, gehört werden. Amy Goodman ist gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder David Goodman auch die Autorin von politisch kritischen Büchern wie „Standing up to the madness“, Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria’s Oil Dictatorship’ (1998), Massacre: the Story of East Timor’. Diese Geschichte kostete fast das Leben der Autorin. In Ost -Timor überlebte die Journalistin mit einem weiteren Journalisten das Massaker im Jahr 1991, in dem Soldaten aus Indonesien 270 Menschen in Ost-Timor ermordeten.

Die Autorin und Journalistin schrieb drei weitere Bücher gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder mit harten Fakten: The Exception to the Rulers (2004); Static: Government Liars, Media Cheer-leaders and the People who Fight Back (2006); and Standing up to the Madness (2008). Sie schreibt zudem regelmäßig Kolumnen für Zeitungen in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika.

„Wir brauchen alternative Stimmen. Es gibt diese Stimmen. Aber diese Stimmen werden oft nicht gehört in den Medien. Das ist durch die Gleichschaltung der Medien besonders auch in den USA der Fall. Das macht es unmöglich irgendwelche komplexen Zusammenhänge vernünftig zu erklären im Radio oder Fernsehen. Amy Goodman sorgt mit ihrem Programm für eine informierte Debatte und gibt den alternativen Stimmen ein Gehör.“, erklärte Jakob von Uexkull.

Die Jury hat die Verhaftung der Journalistin mit großer Sorge beobachtet. Das war sicher einer der Gründe für die Nominierung auch wegen der amerikanischen Wahlen. Die Verhaftung zeigte der Jury noch stärker, wie wichtig es ist eine derart engagierte Frau und Journalistin zu unterstützen und zu schützen.

Besonders auf dem Gebiet der Wirtschaft sieht Jakob von Uexkull das Problem des gefährlichen Demokratie-Defizits. Lügen in der Politik, wie etwa in der Bankenkrise, in der seit Jahren Menschen immer wieder erzählt wurde, es sei kein Geld da, als plötzlich dann Milliarden von Euro und U.S Dollar „auftauchen“ um die Banken zu retten, sollten nicht zu einer Politik-Skepsis führen, sondern vielmehr dazu , dass sich mehr engagierte Menschen politisch, regional oder national einsetzen. Demokratie müsse immer wieder neu erkämpft werden. Der Stiftungs-Gründer betonte: „Man muss bereit sein sich im politischen Leben auch zu engagieren. Nicht etwa als Berufspolitiker und auch nicht für das ganze Leben, doch durchaus lokal, regional und national, vielmehr als bisher. Ein Beitritt zu Organisationen und Vereinen genügt nicht. Man muss sich auch politisch und gesellschaftlich persönlich engagieren, wenn man dafür sorgen will, dass der Krieg gegen die Demokratie nicht etwa von den Feinden der Demokratie gewonnen wird.“

Der Gründer der Right Livelihood Award Foundation, Jakob von Uexkull, stiftete zu Beginn der erstmaligen Verleihungen der Preise vor rund 19 Jahren für fünf Jahre die Preisgelder aus eigenen finanziellen Mitteln. Inzwischen wird der Preis auch durch zahlreiche Spenden aus aller Welt auch von vielen Spendern aus Deutschland gefördert und unterstützt.

Eine weitere und ausführliche Bericht-Erstattung folgt.

Die Radio-Sendung wurde im Rahmen in der Arbeit der internationalen Medien-Arbeitsgemeinschaft Independent Broadcasting Service (IBS) Liberty bei Radio IBS Liberty produziert und gesendet. Die Sendung kann unter anderem auch bei Radio Open-NL in den Niederlanden und in aller Welt gehört werden:

Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty, IBS Television Liberty wurde 1986 in der deutschen Stadt Speyer am Rhein und in der englischen Stadt Leeds in England von dem Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autor mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm gegründet. Das internationale Medien-Netzwerk dient seit 1986 mit Fernseh- und Radio-Programmen der internationalen Völkerverständigung und setzt sich für Menschen in schwerster Not, unter anderem auch behinderte Journalisten und Menschen ein. Jakob von Uexkull ist in einer sehr politischen bewussten und engagierten Familie aufgewachsen.

Am 28. Oktober 2008 ist das dritte Buch von Andreas Klamm in diesem Jahr erschienen, das sich mit einem Teil-Bereich der Arbeit des Medien-Netzwerkes beschäftigt: Demokratie und Menschenrechte.

Das Buch Liberty and Peace NOW!

TV producer in trouble: Serious health problems interrupted investigative television production

<strong>TV producer in trouble:

Serious health problems interrupted investigative television production

New York City / London/3mnewswire.org/November 10, 2008 (intle). An independent and investigative television production about the Nazi threats and terrorism  got interrupted on Saturday, November 8, 2008  in an Eastern city of former Eastern Germany after the independent journalist, broadcasting journalist, author of several books and television producer got by surprise  and unexpected suddenly sick within hours. The founder and director of IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty and director, Andreas Klamm, which has published on October 28, 2008 his third book in the year 2008 “Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters”, ISBN (-10): 3837072436 ISBN (-13): 978-3837072433 got for unknown reasons within a couple of hours this sick that he had to seek for medical care in a hospital although he has no health insurance. The television producer had to spend the night in a local hospital in Eastern Germany. The international news center has today confirmed  the information about the sad incident. </strong>

Andreas Klamm has said: „To those which have told me already in the past that perhaps not all accidents which I have been involved in the past are actually accidents should know that after I have suddenly suffered serious health related problems that suddenly and unexpected I have suffered from unusual though headache, fever and I had to vomit several times. At this time I see nothing which could bring anyone to the conclusion that this was not a sudden disease which for unknown reason has happened.  It was a scary thing and I felt quite weak almost close to the point not to survive this incident and I am sorry that the television production got interrupted. I give highly very SPECIAL THANKS to the doctors and the nurses of the local hospital which helped me to go through this strange sudden disease and crisis. Our viewers and observers which are concerned about these things should know that I have been diagnosed by my former doctor in the year 2003 with possible cancer. The information about possible cancer has been not confirmed because after paying for 22 years the health insurance in Germany and after my former physician had made this concern about my health situation I have got kicked out of the German health insurance. This had caused the problem that since five years in Germany no more blood tests have been taken after several tests which have been leading to the conclusion that there may have taken place some serious health problems. On October 19, 2007 I have been asking the U.S. Department for Justice already for the change of my citizenship according to Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights, United Nations and my hope is still there that this request under special circumstances will be heard. The United States of America is known as the defender of democracy and therefore I believe the USA will help those which are working hard for democracy.”

For security reasons no other information will be published at this moment. Some incidents have caused almost prior the television production that the entire television production was in the danger to fail or to be jeopardized.

Andreas Klamm gave thanks to his viewers and has said also: “For those which do believe our television production  and coverage with a victim of several attempts of assassination and union worker got now again jeopardized and destroyed I do have some real good news for you. Some people which know me know that I have been forced to release some 911 prayers and I did and I am thankful that my prayers have been heard otherwise I would be not able anymore to make this public statement. Because I am waxen poor and do have no money and by grace I had to leave the hospital real quick after receiving some medical treatment and pain relief medication and I have been working hard already on Sunday morning and afternoon on November 9, 2008, although I have felt still weak. With the union worker, communist and victim of several attempted assassination I had the wonderful chance to meet. The interview was quite a challenge. We had almost four hour a good conversation and have been able to produce a two hour extended special television production about his activities and he had many things to tell our viewers. Certainly I do believe every one which supports the freedom of the press, the freedom of speech, liberty, democracy and peace will like this television production which will be aired soon on IBS Television Liberty and other TV stations.  Please understand that at this time I am not able to release further information for security reasons. As soon as the television production will be released our international news desk in London and co-workers in New York City will release some more information. For those which are concerned about my health situation. Please, if you want to do something real good for me, than continue to pray for me before the Holy God of Israel and the Lord our God and if you want to you can make a donation or send me a Kosher gift basket to our editorial office in Germany. You should know that I have prayed a lot before the television production has taken place and that only under prayer I went to the certain locations to produce this interview on our educational television program. If you want to pray for something good, than please continue to pray that I will find some relief in New York City next year  in 2009. As you know the 44th President of the United States of America, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, has got elected on November 4, 2008 and there is a lot of hope that the first Afro-American President will take a public stand for the human rights and grant them to those which seek them.

For those which are seriously concerned about some health problems of mine  I am planning to go to a good Jewish hospital in New York City next year and I will ask the doctors to take some blood tests. Please understand  although in 2000 and 2007 a co-producer and me have received several threats I have to continue to work even in cases if some serious dangers might apply. The respect for truth and for the right of the public to truth is the first duty of the journalist, actually of all journalists. Have Hans and Sophie Scholl be scared about the dangers taking with their leaflets a public stand against war and the mass murder of our Jewish brothers and sisters and all of those other 10 million victims during the years in 1933 to 1945?  There is not this much time left to fool or play around or to hide the truth. We have to publish a part of the truth so far as we have a chance to do so. However I can not allow it going to happen that some people which threaten us will stop the freedom of the press,  freedom of speech, liberty, peace and democracy.

Therefore I give very SPECICAL THANKS unto the Lord our God and to all of those which do pray for my co-producers and me. I am very thankful for the goodness of the Lord of our God and you can be certain that even while feeling so close to death as on Saturday I have been able to sense the protective strength and healing power of the Lord our God. Therefore continue please to pray for us and that we will be able to share with you an important part of the truth and very interesting information which you will not find on the mainstream media. Not all German citizens are Nazis and I am very thankful for this. It is sad that there are some forces in the country of Germany which are with no doubt very dangerous and the rising threats of anti-Semistism and some kind of the Nazi movement is a danger to many of us. It is a danger to all of those which love liberty, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, democracy, peace and justice.

But there are precious people which are taking quite a lot of personal risks in extra-ordinary times to take a stand against these threats and I am very thankful for the grace that on this weekend I had the chance to conduct the interview after some hours of health related interruption of our television production on the educational television program of about two hours with some  precious people and heroes in extra-ordinary times. One of them mentioned during the interview: “The only one chance which we do have is to educate people and to share the truth…” and I do believe this man is right in this case. Certainly I will call now for back up and support to all of our international supporters and observers. As I have mentioned already several times in the past weeks I am by no means planning to die or to be buried in Germany and I am planning to travel next year in 2009 to New York City. If I have to die once in some years I want to be buried in the United States of America. Some people know that I have made vows before the LORD our GOD actually also before the Holy God of Israel.

As I have mentioned earlier this month already: Many of us should work for the freedom of the press, the freedom of journalists, for democracy, for liberty, peace and justice. These precious values do require that many of us will work together for something good. It is not only a gift which we have received in 1948 we have to work and have to be engaged for the good things. In many cases it requires the hard labor of many people. In some cases we even have to defend the good things as we can not allow it going to happen that modern countries of democracy will suffer from dictatorship and tyranny again as in the years from 1933 to 1945.

Watch and pray, THANK YOU to all of those which will continue to pray for us. Please continue to pray for some relief for me in New York City and that I will be able to go to a good Jewish hospital in New York City in 2009 where I feel comfortable.

While feeling still a little weak I am preparing already to travel to the next locations to conduct more interviews even with so called controversial journalists and people which could be called with no doubt heroes in extra-ordinary times. More information will be released as soon as the television production will be aired.  Thank you !”

Buch mit Themen zu den Menschenrechten: Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters

Buch mit Themen zu den Menschenrechten:

Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters

New York / London / Ludwigshafen. (intle)./3mnewswire.org/November 8, 2008. Nach mehr als zwei Jahren mühevoller Arbeit ist ein neues Buch des Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autors mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm erschienen. „Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters“, ISBN (-13): 9783837072433, beinhaltet auf 272 Seiten Auszüge aus umfangreichen Dokumentationen zu den Themen Menschenrechte und der Verletzung von Menschenrechten. Bei dem Buch handelt es sich um den ersten Band einer Serie, die im kommenden Jahr eine Fortsetzung finden wird mit dem zweiten Band, der im Frühjahr erscheinen soll.

Das internationale Medienprojekt „Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters – Medienprojekt Menschenrechts-Reporter“ wurde durch einen weiteren Autor und den Journalisten und dem Autor Andreas Klamm im Dezember 2006 gegründet. Seit Dezember 2006 konnte ein internationales Team von Journalisten, Autoren und Medien-Produzenten in 33 Ländern mehr als 170 massive Verstöße gegen die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (United Nations, UN, http://www.un.org, News York) dokumentieren. Die Proklamation der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte wird weltweit am 10. Dezember 2008, dem 60. Jahrestag, gefeiert. Das Buch ist als Teil eines Projektes der internationalen Völkerverständigung in englischer und in deutscher Sprache geschrieben. Im Jahr 1986 gründete der Journalist das internationale und alternative nicht kommerzielle Medien-Netzwerk Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty (IBS Liberty, Leeds), das seit 1986 der internationalen Völkerverständigung dient.

In dem Buch wird auch über Gewalt gegenüber kritischen und investigativen Journalisten und über die Ermordung von Journalisten berichtet. „Wichtig war mir nicht nur mit erhobenen Zeigefinger auf die schlimmen Menschenrechts-Verletzungen in fernen Ländern hinzuweisen, sondern auch in Deutschland aufmerksam und kritisch die Geschehen und Entwicklungen in Bezug die Einhaltung oder die massive Verletzung von Menschenrechten zu dokumentieren. Deutschland ist kein Land in dem in Bezug auf die Einhaltung der Allgemeinen Menschenrechte, Milch und Honig fließen. Oder mit anderen deutlichen Worten: Deutschland ist kein Menschenrechts-Paradies. Vermutlich gibt es ein solches Land in der gesamten Welt nicht. Im ersten Band war es nur möglich einen kleinen Teil der zum Teil sehr schlimmen Ereignisse zu dokumentieren. Daher wird im Frühjahr der zweite Band der Serie erscheinen, die auch als Radio- und Fernseh-Sendung produziert wird.“, erklärte der französisch-deutsche Journalist und Autor.

Die Veröffentlichung des Buches hatte sich im Dezember 2007 verzögert, nach dem der Journalist erneut Drohungen erhalten hatte. Bereits im Jahr 2000 erhielt der Journalist, Fernseh-Produzent und weitere Co-Produzenten Drohungen und Mord-Drohungen nach der Ausstrahlung der kritischen Fernseh-Dokumentation „Der 9. November 1938 und heute.“, die sich mit den Verbrechen der Nazi-Terroristen in den Jahren 1933 bis 1945 auseinander setzt.

Zudem hatten drei falsche Zeugen im Herbst 2007 in schriftlichen Anschuldigungen gegenüber dem Journalisten den öffentlichen Vorwurf gemacht, der Journalist habe im Zusammenhang mit der Bericht-Erstattung zum „Fest für obdachlose Menschen in Ludwigshafen am Rhein“ einen Spenden-Betrug in Höhe von geschätzten 700 Milliarden Euro begangen.

In der regionalen Presse und im Internet wurde der Journalist und Autor, ohne dass je ein öffentliches und ordentliches Gerichts-Verfahren in Ludwigshafen am Rhein stattgefunden hat, bereits im Voraus verurteilt von den regionalen Medien. Die Zuhilfenahme und Rechtsberatung eines Anwaltes wurde dem Journalisten bereits mehrfach verweigert. Auch bei einem Polizei-Verhör im Herbst 2007 wurde dem Journalisten die Hinzuziehung eines Anwaltes in einer anderen Sache verweigert.

Die offenbar falschen Zeugen machten alle drei in ihren schriftlichen Anschuldigungen so wörtlich den Vorwurf: – Zitat -: „Dass immer alle Spenden, die in Deutschland gemacht werden ohne Ausnahme auf das Konto von Andreas Klamm gehen.“ – Zitat Ende – . Gegenüber der Presse wurde mitgeteilt, dass die Kriminalpolizei Ludwigshafen in der Sache des größten Betruges der je in der Geschichte Deutschlands und Europas stattgefunden haben könnte, ermitteln würde. Seitens der Kripo Ludwigshafen gab es hierzu gegenüber unserer Redaktion in einer Anfrage bei der Kripo Ludwigshafen keine offizielle Bestätigung.

Ungeklärt ist zur Zeit noch die Frage wie es dem Journalisten und Autor gelungen sein soll unbemerkt gleichzeitig an alle Spendengelder der Christlich Demokratischen Union (CDU), Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD), Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, FDP, Die Linke, andere Parteien, der katholischen und evangelischen Kirche Deutschlands, World Vision Deutschland, von Unicef Deutschland, Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, Deutscher Spenden-Siegel, Ein Herz für Kinder, Kinder unter dem Regenbogen von Radio Regenbogen, der Rettungsorganisationen Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, Malteser Hilfsdienst, Die Johanniter, Arbeiter Samariter Bund (ASB) und weiterer mehrerer tausend Hilfsorganisation in Deutschland zu gelangen.

Mehrere unabhängige Beobachter gelangten nach einigen Prüfung zur Einschätzung dass dies offenbar nicht möglich ist.

„Für eine solche Aktion wäre wohl eine Art universeller Kontozugriff auf alle Spendenkonten aller Parteien und Hilfsorganisationen in Deutschland notwendig. Für wenig glaubhaft halte ich es, dass die Vorsitzenden der beiden großen Volks-Parteien, Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel und der ehemalige Parteivorsitzende und Ministerpräsident des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz, Kurt Beck, nicht über die Bewegungen auf ihren Partei-Konten informiert gewesen sein sollen, sofern diese in der Realität stattgefunden hätten.

Der Vorwurf des Spendenbetruges in Höhe von 700 Milliarden Euro ist absurd und lächerlich. In Anbetracht der Summe müsste sich Josef Ackermann und die Deutsche Bank ja schon fast wie eine arme Kirchenmaus fühlen.

Den deutschen Sicherheits-Behörden, wie dem Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden kann man in Zeiten der Total-Überwachung aller Menschen in Deutschland sicherlich zumindest in der Hinsicht vertrauen, dass Konten-Bewegungen in Höhe von mehreren Millionen oder gar Milliarden Euro sicher den Behörden nicht verborgen bleiben könnten. Die zuständige Staatsanwaltschaft, die Generalbundesanwaltschaft in Karlsruhe und das Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden habe ich nach den Vorwürfen öffentlich zur unverzüglichen Prüfung meiner Konten aufgefordert. Die Ergebnisse stehen noch aus. Zur Zeit beträgt der aktuelle Konto-Stand auf meinem Konto etwas weniger als 1 Euro.

Den falschen Betrugsvorwurf halte ich nicht für witzig. Mal ehrlich, für wahrscheinlich halten sie einen Vorwurf, dass sich der gesuchte Top-Terrorist Osama bin Laden zur Zeit als Gast der Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel bei Tee und Plätzchen in bilateralen Gesprächen im Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin befindet. Wer würde so einen Vorwurf glauben schenken? Wie wahrscheinlich soll es dann wohl sein, dass ein kranker, armer und behinderter Journalist durch die Aufforderung armen Menschen in Ludwigshafen zu helfen, einen Spenden-Betrug in Höhe von 700 Milliarden begangen haben könnte. Die falschen Vorwürfe sind ernst und schlimm. Daher erhalten 100 obdachlose Menschen in schwerster Not keine Hilfe und Spenden mehr und zudem befinde ich mich nachweisbar öffentlich bekannt, mit chronischen Erkrankungen und körperlichen Behinderungen auch in schwerster Not. Das konnten inzwischen auch die Beobachter internationaler Menschenrechts-Organisationen, dazu zählt auch Amnesty international, feststellen. Dem Mord geht bekanntlich der Rufmord voraus.

Wenn man Menschen, auch Kindern und Frauen in schwerster Not vorsätzlich jede vernünftige Form der finanziellen Hilfe vorenthält, die notwendig wäre um die Menschen mit Nahrung, Kleidung und medizinisch zu versorgen, dann sollte man das auch offen nennen was es ist: Vorsätzlicher Mord mit besten Wissen aus Habgier und niedrigen Beweggründen.

Erfreulicherweise bin ich kein Jurist und kein Richter, sondern nur Journalist, Rundfunk-Journalist und Autor. Es fällt mir schwer zu verstehen, wie doch nicht wenige Menschen mit so großer Freude erfüllt werden, wenn diese arme, kranke und vermeintlich schwache Schutz-bedürftige Kinder, Frauen und Männer in Not vernichten und töten.

Es geht mir und das betone ich ausdrücklich, nicht darum zu urteilen oder zu verurteilen, sondern auf eine wirkungsvolle Änderung des Sozial-Verhaltens vieler Menschen in das Gute hinzuwirken. Gutes Sozial-Verhalten von Menschen bedeutet für mich die Toleranz, Geduld, Offenheit, Dialog, Kommunikation, Gerechtigkeit, Frieden, Liebe, Mitgefühl und wenn es notwendig ist auch kranke oder schwächere Menschen in der Gesamtheit aller Menschen auch finanziell mitzutragen.

Da sich mir bekannt zur Zeit weitere Menschen in schwerster Not befinden und um das Überleben kämpfen bleibt mir nichts anderes, als meine Kritik so offen und so deutlich auszusprechen auch dann wenn das reiche und andere Menschen als Provokation, sicher nicht ganz ohne Grund, empfinden sollten.

Vor dem Richterstuhl Gottes muss sich jeder einzelne Mensch dieser Erde ohne Ausnahme verantworten. Es werden sicher alle Dinge an das Licht gelangen. Die Wahrheit wird nicht verborgen bleiben, da bin ich mir sicher.“ ergänzte Andreas Klamm.

Im Oktober 2007 stellte der Journalist und Autor beim U.S.Department for Justice in Washington, D.C. in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika einen Antrag auf den Wechsel der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft in die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft nach Artikel 15 der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte. „An dem Wunsch des Wechsels der Staatsbürgerschaft halte ich fest. Es handelt sich um ein Allgemeines Menschenrecht.

Zu Deutschland habe ich kaum noch irgendeine Beziehung. Dieses Land ist Gott sei Dank und definitiv nicht mein Land auch dann wenn ich hier nicht wenige Steuern bezahlt habe und immer noch bezahle. Es fällt mir schwer mich in diesem Land ausdrücklich gegen meinen Willen aufzuhalten. Das hat mehrere Gründe. Zum einen bin ich von Geburt an französisch-deutscher Bürger und zum anderen denke ich seit mehr als 20 Jahren kosmopolitisch und weniger national.

Meine Großmutter Martha Kolacz wechselte bereits im Jahr 1950 ihre Staatsbürgerschaft und verließ Deutschland für immer. Sie hatte gute Gründe nicht eine einzige Sekunde nach Deutschland zurück zu kehren obgleich es Freunde gab, die sogar für ein Flugticket an ihrem ehemaligen Arbeitsplatz sammelten, damit sie ihre Tochter, meine Mutter, in Deutschland besuchen könnte.

Dazu ist es nicht gekommen und meine Großmutter ist vor einigen Jahren von uns gegangen. Sie wurde in der australischen Stadt Melbourne beerdigt. Mich zieht es mehr nach Amerika in die Stadt, die nie schläft, nach New York und in der zudem viele Menschen leben und wirken, die kosmopolitisch denken. Im Allgemeinen ist mir meine Großmutter ein großes Vorbild.“, sagte der Journalist und Autor.

Amy Goodman to receive Right Livelihood Award

Amy Goodman to receive Right Livelihood Award

By Andreas Klamm, journalist, broadcast journalist and author of Liberty and Peace NOW!

Washington D. C. / New York City / London/Stockholm/October 28, 2008. The international and excellent journalist which is known as one of the world best top journalists, authors and broadcast journalists has been awarded to receive the Right Livelihood Award on December 8, 2008 by the Right Livelihood Award Foundation in Stockholm in Sweden.

Amy Goodman will share the right Livelihood Award with four other woman which have been taking part in a vital role of social transformation.

The three other women which will receive also the Right Livelihood Award 2008 are

Krishnammal and Sankaralingam Jagannathan / LAFTI (India)

“…for two long lifetimes of work dedicated to realising in practice the Gandhian vision of social justice and sustainable human development, for which they have been referred to as ‘India’s soul’.”

Asha Hagi (Somalia)

“…for continuing to lead at great personal risk the female participation in the peace and reconciliation process in her war-ravaged country.”

and

Monika Hauser (Germany)

“…for her tireless commitment to working with women who have experienced the most horrific sexual violence in some of the most dangerous countries in the world, and campaigning for them to receive social recognition and compensation.”

Amy Goodman will be honored for “…for developing an innovative model of truly independent political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by mainstream media.

Presented annually in Stockholm at a ceremony in the Swedish Parliament, the Right Livelihood Award is usually shared by four recipients. One of them may receive an Honorary Award, given to a person or group whose work the Jury wishes to recognize but who is not primarily in need of monetary support. The others share the prize money of 2,000,000 Swedish kronor (approximately USD 310,000). The prize money is for ongoing successful work, never for personal use.

The media is sometimes called the fourth power in a democracy. But in many countries of the world such as for example Germany, Iran, Iraq, China, North Korea and many others the media is today no longer willing or able to play this role. Instead it defers to commercial and political interests, thus eroding democracy and destroying elementary and fundamental vital parts of a democracy such as the freedom of the press, liberty, peace, free speech and justice.

With Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman has shown what the alternative to this dangerous trend can look like. Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the U.S. which is now available to people seeking alternative viewpoints around the globe.

Career

Amy Goodman was born in 1957, graduated from Harvard in 1984 and became news director at the New York radio station WBAI a few years later. In 1996 she launched the daily one-hour news broadcast Democracy Now!, which she now hosts with Juan Gonzalez, and which is produced live from 08.00 to 09.00 US EST.


Unembedded reporting

Democracy Now! focuses on issues its producers consider under-reported or ignored by mainstream news coverage, like global news or reporting on anti-war activism in the U.S. It provides hard-hitting, independent, breaking coverage of war and peace, U.S. domestic and foreign policy, and struggles for social, racial, economic, gender and environmental justice in the U.S. and abroad.


Democracy Now! seeks to give voice to the voiceless. Its broadcasts include:

  • in-depth interviews with community members, activists, academics, artists and journalists shut out by the mainstream media,

  • debates between activists and people in power,

  • investigative reports and exclusive interviews with usual and controversial guests,

  • and on-the-ground reporting from protests, the recent conventions and hot spots round the world.

Democracy Now! – Facts and figures

Democracy Now! is the fastest growing independent news program in the United States of America . The educational program is now syndicated to more than 700 radio and TV, satellite and cable TV networks in North America reaching millions of people worldwide.

Democracy Now! is produced by seven producers, 20 full-time and 15 paid part-time staff as well as many volunteers. Broadcast daily as an hourly TV show, but with its founding on radio, it is produced in such a way that the stories never rely on the pictures, which allows it to be sent out as a radio show on community radio stations all over the US.

Democracy Now! has an outreach team working to encourage communities to demand that their community radio stations transmit the program.

Democracy Now!’s innovative technical solutions allow for high usability for any kind of audience. There is ‘close captioning’ for deaf people and numerous voluntary transcribers produce full transcripts of the show. On the website, there are different types of streams and downloads, e.g. audio files, but also high-quality video files that are sent out, for example, by a Japanese TV channel once a week. Democracy Now! also keeps a complete archive of all its shows, which people can research for free.

Democracy Now! receives no government or corporate funding. Because of its educational mission, it has charitable status according to US law (501c3). Major organizational donors have been the Lannan Foundation and the Wallace Global Fund. Significant contributions also come from listeners themselves.

What Amy Goodman is calling Trickle-up journalism”

Amy Goodman describes Democracy Now! as ‘trickle-up journalism’, because the stories it runs are often taken up by the mainstream media and her interviewees are very often interviewed by other channels after they have appeared on Democracy Now! Thus, the significance of Democracy Now! goes beyond the show as such: It also serves to open up the media landscape, acting as a ‘conveyor belt’ for stories that otherwise would not reach the mainstream media.

Awards and books received by Amy Goodman

Amy Goodman’s awards include the Golden Reel for the Best National Documentary for ‘Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria’s Oil Dictatorship’ in 1998, and the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Prize for ‘Massacre: the Story of East Timor’. This story had almost cost her life: In East Timor, she survived a massacre in 1991 in which Indonesian soldiers gunned down 270 Timorese people.

The journalist, author and broadcast journalist has also written three hard-hitting books with her brother, David Goodman: The Exception to the Rulers (2004); Static: Government Liars, Media Cheer-leaders and the People who Fight Back (2006); and Standing up to the Madness (2008). She also syndicates a column to national papers.

Democracy Now! is broadcast daily from 8-9am EST/1-2pm GMT. To watch today’s show and for a list of international and domestic stations that carry DN!, please go to www.democracynow.org.

Quotation: What Amy Goodman has said about the Right Livelihood Award

“I am completely honored to have my work and the work of my colleagues held in such high regard, it makes me realize how important the work of bringing a truly independent voice to broadcast news and journalism really is. I really believe in free speech and independent journalism as a tool for peace, for understanding. It is so important, especially during times like these, that the media hold the politicians feet to the fire… we all need the real answers, the truth as best we can. This is why I get up every morning and go to the red firehouse we broadcast from everyday, still as excited as my first day at Democracy Now! over 12 years ago.”

Amy Goodman


The murder and killing of independent journalists fighting for liberty and democracy

Not all journalists which do publish alternative and independent reports do receive an award. Many of these journalists instead of receiving awards have been murdered. According to the Committee to Protect Journalist in 2008, 33 journalists have been killed. In 2007 according to information in the USA a number of 67 journalists have been killed.

The International Press Institute in Europe knows already about 37 journalists which been murdered in the year 2008. In the years 2007 93 journalists have been killed according to the International Press Institute.

Reporters without borders knows about the death of 34 journalists in 2008 while 126 journalists are imprisoned. About so called 93 “cyber dissidents” and 9 media assistant staff do serve in prison for simply speaking out a part of the truth for laboring for liberty, democracy and peace.

Article 18

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Article 19

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

1948-2008 – Human Rights: The land where milk and honey do flow in rivers in concern of the human rights?

1948-2008 – Human Rights: The land where milk and honey do flow in rivers in concern of the human rights?

By Andreas Klamm

New York / London / Berlin./3mnewswire.org/November 1, 2008. In some days the entire world will celebrate on December 10, 2008 the 60th anniversary of the proclamation of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS by the United Nations in New York City in 1948 in the United States of America.

As a French-German journalist, broadcast journalist and author I have been for about three years on a special research which is not over yet to find the country which could be best described as the country where milk and honey do flow in rivers in concern of the promotion, granting and support of the Human Rights.

It was crystal clear from the beginning of this international research that Germany during the years of the NAZIS Holocaust from 1933 to 1945 will not match these criteria. But what about Germany 70 years after during the Reichskristall-Nacht in 1938? The Synagogues of my Jewish brothers and sisters have been burned in Germany and about 10 million people have been killed in the German concentrations camps. It was perhaps one of the worsest disasters ever which have taken place in history of the human mankind. Another 50 million people have been killed during the Second World War.

There must be a change after 70 years, am I right?

There was a chance in December 1948 when the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS have been proclaimed by the United Nations. As Germany is a part of the universe the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS are valid in Germany also.

No one man or woman would ever doubt that Germany is not a part of this universe. There have been important changes but not in all areas and in all regions of the country of Germany. Certainly in 2008 Germany is still not meeting the criteria of a land where milk and honey do flow in rivers in concern of the promotion, support and granting of elementary and fundamental human rights such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience the religious liberty and other basic rights which are granted in ARTICLE 18 and ARTICLE 19 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS.

It is always easy if German citizen especially famous politicians like Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier and German chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel are traveling to countries far away from Germany and do express their support for human rights and their concerns about the serious violations and abuses of the human rights in other countries, which is an important duty.

As a journalist, broadcast journalist and author of several books including the book “Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters” I do know that it is a very difficult duty to criticize other countries in concern of the serious abuses and violations against the UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS.

However some people have been asking me. “Please, as you are French-German journalist and citizen look not to Russia, China, Asia, North Korea, Indonesia first but do us one favor and have a brief look on the situation in concern of the human rights in Germany.” My thought was “…what shall be wrong with it, if some brothers and sisters from Asia, Russia, Africa, New Zealand and the United States of America have been asking me to have a brief look on the situation about human rights cases in Germany.” ?

It was my first impression and my second impression was and is: “I am still shocked !”

Germany in the year 2008 about 70 years after the Reichskristall-Nacht in 1938 has taken place still does not qualify in the criteria of a country where milk and honey do flow in the rivers in concern of supporting, granting and promoting human rights.

On http://aitel.hist.no/~walterk/wkeim/files/de_human_rights.htm you will find more than a dozen of cases where people with all kind of different backgrounds, even believers which call themselves Jews, Muslim, Christian and members of other religious systems have to go before EUROPEAN COURTS simply to claim elementary and fundamental UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS as granted in ARTICLE 19 and ARTICLE 18.

BUT what about all these people which are oppressed and their voices have been silenced. These people do not have a single cent to pay the attorney which could help or even defend their basic human rights before the EUROPEAN COURT.

This make the situation much worse. Because these people do know very well. Their human rights are abused and violated. They do suffer even torture in a country where torture is forbidden and their voices are silenced, while other politicians and rich people do act like cheer leaders on the screen of the media and television and like to make people believe: “We are the best.” Knowing very well that Germany is in need of development in concern of granting basic human rights in this country where one of the most horrible disaster have been taking place in the years of 1933 to 1945.

My third thought after studying some of the cases of the serious abuses of the human rights in Germany was: The U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon should travel on December 10, 2008 to Germany and declare in a public speech to all citizen in this world that we might be able to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the proclamation of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS in December in 1948 in New York City in the United States of America and that the UN Secretary-General would encourage all human beings in his public speech on this entire planet earth to participate in the PEACE PROCESS that people and their elementary basic HUMAN RIGHTS will be not violated and abused.

“The campaign reminds us that in a world still reeling from the horrors of the Second World War, the Declaration was the first global statement of what we now take for granted — the inherent dignity and equality of all human beings.”

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

“In the course of this year, unprecedented efforts must be made to ensure that every person in the world can rely on just laws for his or her protection. In advancing all human rights for all, we will move towards the greatest fulfillment of human potential, a promise which is at the heart of the Universal Declaration.”

High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour

This is a fact just to celebrate that the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS have been proclaimed in 1948 is certainly not good enough. Human Rights have to be granted and human rights are elementary and fundamental basic rights of all these countries which claim to be a democracy. There is a lot of work in concern of the granting of the basic human rights which needs to be done.

All of us should take a part in this PEACE PROCESS. Promoting, the support and the granting of the human rights is perhaps one of the most important peace processes ever especially in those countries which want to go a step forward and to claim to be a democracy in this world.

Those which do know the Human Rights should support and help those which are oppressed and suffer in many cases beyond description even in 2008.

It is important to know the Universal Human Rights and it is also important to know how to claim the human rights.

Article 18
