Namibians fight for their Constitution

The Constitution Amendment Bill is to be tabled in the Namibian parliament today. We, the people of Namibia, do not want to be railroaded into this before the November elections. So we've started an online petition , as well as an email/fax petition to the Ombudsman.

Our petition to the Ombudsman will most likely not deliver any fruit, if we look back to his achievements with the police, but according to our Constitution he is our line to follow if we have a complaint against governing institutions. So we take that line of defense anyhow.

Online petitions  only work if thousands of people sign it.
Below is an excerpt from a longer video about how the people of Nanaimo in Canada won their case against their city councilors. You can find the complete story HERE




             

Namibians, however, haven't yet gotten used to sharing news online with others. So this petition hasn't yet really taken off. By the time it does, the amendments will most probably have been implemented.

Thursday 7 August a demonstration  is to take place in Windhoek, our capital city. Yet even that is approached with mixed feelings.

Namibia to become a Dictatorship under Geingob

Democracy in Namibia seems to have come to an end just 24 years after it started. The latest news in the Namibian forebodes a Dictatorship. Far reaching changes to the Constitution are envisaged by Prime minister Hage Geingob, who is slated as the next President.

These changes are to be implemented ahead of the elections in November. The urgency seems to be grounded in the fear of opposition from inside his own SWAPO party. Opposition from the side of the people is totally ignored, as they have already effectively been excluded from having any voice in decision making at all. For confirmation of this I refer back to my third post on this blog.

The envisaged changes vest even more power in the president than what he already has. The most detrimental of these envisaged changes are:
1. the exclusion of smaller parties from government
2. regional powers to be given to governors appointed by president  
3. the independence of the judiciary being jeopardized
4. the review powers of the National Council to be limited


URGENT APPEAL TO DONOR COUNTRIES
Since there is no way left for the people to stop these changes from being implemented, I herewith make AN URGENT APPEAL to international donors to immediately put on hold any and all donations and grants to our country, until  the implementation of these changes have been abandoned.

APPEAL TO MY READERS 
Since this is a matter of urgency and the hands of the Namibian people are bound by uneducated choices made previously, I appeal to you who read this to please share and promote this post as much as you can, in the hope of at least reaching some of the donors, as I don't know them.

Advantages of Fighting Traffic Tickets

All of us are prone to getting traffic tickets.
Be it for parking, speeding, reckless driving, not wearing a safety belt, driving under influence of drugs or alcohol or defects on your car, the opportunities to get our blood pressure boiling are legio and increase just about daily.
 
While the easiest way out of this dilemma is admitting guilt and paying the fine, this option reinforces our slavery to the system, it can eventually cost you your drivers licence or maybe even your job. Given the trend to ever more traffic laws being implemented and fines being increased regularly, our budgets may seriously be affected in the long run.

The other option we have is fighting the ticket.
Though the time and effort involved in this option may look like a serious draw back, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. So let's look at them.
1. Opportunity to exercise our inherent rights 
Our right to disagree with statutes and bylaws, implemented solely to generate revenue for municipalities and local councils, is being ignored when they are passed. By choosing the option to fight a traffic ticket, we are in effect taking back that right to say NO to their laws.
Depending on the circumstances of the confrontation, we may also get the opportunity to exercise our right to dignity and fair treatment.
2. Opportunity to exercise our authority and freedom
Traffic cops are public servants, bound to follow their statutes/laws to promote the well being of the inhabitants of the land. We, the public are their masters. Being stopped while exercising our right of free movement is a violation of that right as long as we do not harm others. When we use our authority correctly, we can regain our right to free movement, which is being restricted by every new statute they pass.
3. Opportunity to learn more about the legal system
A trial gives us the opportunity to learn more about the legal system they use to enslave us. It challenges us to find the loopholes in that system.   
4. Opportunity to grow our self confidence
Every traffic ticket we fight and win increases our self confidence and makes us feel good about having accomplished a new task. Life is about learning new things.
5. Good chance a parking ticket will not be followed up
With the courts being over filled, it may be cheaper for the authorities to just forget about a $30 parking fine than to press through with it. So ask for a trial date, then wait and see if you get one.
6. Good chance to have your ticket withdrawn, dismissed or reduced.
For more details about the reasons for this point, you can go HERE. Even though it is a Canadian site, the points they mention are general points applicable in almost every legal system.  Mentioning all of them here will only be a duplication and make my post too long.
One very important point they do not mention, however, is that you should NOT plead anything at the trial and if the judge or magistrate tries to enter a plea on your behalf, object immediately.

It is my honest opinion that we should make a point of opting to fight traffic tickets instead of just paying the fine. We can only win once we start fighting the slave system imposed on us.

Namibian Police again violate the Constitution in public

It has become normal practice for the Namibian Police to violate the rights of the inhabitants. With the recent visit of UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, to Namibia, the police once again openly demonstrated their absolute disdain for the
Namibian Constitution, the Supreme law of the land.

According to a media report they threw a community activist into a police van in full view of the public. I have personally seen that kind of action on a previous occasion, when a police officer literally threw my grandson into the back of his van without him having shown any resistance at all. The officer just told him to get out of the car and as soon as he did that, the officer grabbed him, threw him into the van and drove off, no explanation, no reading of rights, nothing. I and my granddaughter were so shocked, we could barely drive the car back to the police station. We were too shocked to even think of laying a charge against that officer right away. Reading that media report now, nearly two years after our incident, the whole episode once again comes alive and puts me in psychological turmoil.

It is an open violation of our right to dignity as stipulated in Article 8(2) of the Namibian Constitution. It is also a violation of article 11(1). Now I am asking: how can the Namibian police force be allowed to violate our Supreme law in that way without any repercussions? isn't it a clear sign that our Constitution is no longer the supreme law of the land? Isn't it a clear sign that the ruling party, SWAPO, does not recognize and uphold our Constitution as they are supposed to?
The situation being as it is, it is our civil duty as inhabitants of the country to hold our civil servants accountable for their actions. If they don't protect and uphold the Constitution, we the people have the duty to do it in order to stay a free country. We have to know, claim and defend our rights in order to live as a free people.

Knowing, Claiming and Defending our Rights will ensure our Freedom

As children we are taught to respect and listen to our parents. Next we are taught to subordinate ourselves to our teachers, even if we do not agree with what they teach us. After reaching the age of 18 we suddenly are supposed to be able to differentiate between right and wrong, able to take on responsibilities and be held liable for our actions. We thus stumble into the life of a grown up only knowing how to listen to and follow other persons, never our own inherent intuition. Since we are never taught how to verbally defend ourselves against the domination of others, we easily fall prey to indoctrination, intimidation and physical violence perpetrated against us by those who want to control us, never reaching real freedom. 
Knowing our rights
How many of us really know our inherited, god-given rights? Or the two rules to live in peace with each other? Yet knowing those is the first step to peace, harmony and freedom. We cannot claim, nor defend them as long as we don't know them. Our system is purposely geared to hide them from us, to keep us chained, keep us slaves of the system. Only we ourselves can break those chains.
Claiming our rights
We cannot claim something which doesn't belong to us, that would be stealing. But being born into this world as human beings, we inherited and were given certain rights and obligations, which cannot be nullified by any other human being. They can only be nullified by our own will and actions, with our consent. Once we know what belongs to us by birth, we can claim back what belongs to us, even if  we have been denied access to it for many years. 
Defending our rights
Right from the start of this blog I have been showing you how certain people are forever trying to nullify our right of possession, trying to steal what is ours. Thus we have to prepare ourselves to defend our rights at every turn, not only  when we realize that this is happening. If we are not properly prepared beforehand, those right robbers may catch us unawares and cause us to fall for their tricks once again. 
How can we prepare ourselves for defense beforehand?
Well, one way is to watch how other people defend their inherent rights. The more success stories you see and hear, again and again, the more you condition yourself, train yourself to be ready for when it happens to you. We have to undo the slave training we received over years. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes time, persistence and effort. 
 

The Name Game of the NWO

Below are three short but potent videos on the name game that is played with each one of us. Each one of us is being used as security for the debt the state is making. 




 Now, when we see how our governments are wasting the money they loan on the basis of our birth certificates, don't you think we have a right to complain about their exorbitant spending? Most certainly we have! Will they listen? No.

So we have to find out what we can do to "not comply", to get out of this system of slavery.One place to go to to learn more about that is HERE. I have learned more from this site in 3 weeks than in 12 years of regular schooling.

High Time to Take Back Our Power!

Even though I as one person by myself, cannot change the world, I do what is in my power and capability to inform my readers about the true state of affairs.  Those who agree, can in turn do their little part by clicking on the recommend buttons below each post. The more people we can inform, the more will wake up. Together we can take back our power, our freedom, our world. 

It isn't only in Namibia that people are fed up with ALL government corruption, cronyism, corporatism and police violence. All over the world people start to protest, start looking for ways to bring about change. Below you can hear an Australian on this matter. 

We must do it, not just for ourselves, but for our kids and their kids. They have a right to freedom from slavery. At this stage we are all held as slaves. And this slavery is increased by every single new law that is passed. 

Magistrate kills a person, is not prosecuted

The latest evidence of double standards in the Namibian justice system can be seen in the story of the magistrate, who shot a burglar and thief trying to escape from the scene of his crime.

Any normal person in the same circumstances, would immediately be detained to face a murder charge. Even though a murder case was opened according to police sources, the police withdrew the charges and made no arrest. In contrast to this, I personally know of a person who was charged and taken into custody for just detaining a burglar in his house until the police turned up and he is now facing a big court case.

It's going to be interesting to see if there is going to be a follow up to this episode or if this story just gets wiped under the table. If the latter is the case, we effectively live in a police state.


Judging from the comments in the first report
this incident is setting an example for others to follow suit, especially in the light of the high crime rate concerning burglaries in Namibia. People are fed up being robbed of their hard earned belongings and emotions are running high. If now nothing happens to the magistrate, the people will have a precedent to rely on for taking the law into their own hands and just shooting possible burglars.


I am appalled by what was said. There is no respect for life in this country and our Constitution is ignored by almost everybody.
