Silence.

https://www.quora.com/How-important-is-silence/answer/Desmond-Last

What is the most important thing you have done?

It is ‘standing up to the monolithic power of a Government(s)’. I have had to stand firm in the face of extreme abuse of power by UK and Australian Government Agencies who condemned my right to write of the World as I saw and see it.

It is not easy to do so when you are alone with no help. Governments are ruthless and completely non-transparent and even more so when they are able to bully a person who only has his self-respect and belief in himself as protection.

The ‘contortion of circumstance’ they manufactured in an attempt to silence me was an Oscar deserving ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Being threatened with the possibility of being put into a mental institution when there is nothing wrong with you is an absolute derogation of human rights by a system designed to scare you into silence.

I survived – and I have a letter confirming from a senior UK NHS doctor that there is nothing wrong with my mental health.

By attempting to silence me they have exposed their hypocrisy and total lack of accountability – that will change. That is what I have learned from their absolute failure in attempting to me stop me writing that they ‘must be held to account’. They are not as they believe they have become ‘God on Earth’.

It is important to me because one day I will face those Government(s) in a court of law.

On that day Government(s) will be taught a lesson. That lesson will be ‘There is only one legal system and it applies equally to all of us – including Prime Ministers and Presidents’.

Anzac Day 25 April 2019.

I have written two Poems. One I finished on Anzac Day and at 6.30 am on that day I stood alone on the Western side of the Anzac Bridge in Sydney and read out my Anzac Tribute.

I hold very strong views regarding the appreciation of those who are prepared to risk their lives to protect their Nation and its Citizens. Maybe it is because my father was in the RAF and served in Malta during WW2 – where he met my mother who like the rest of Malta was bombed daily by the Nazis in an attempt to make the People of Malta surrendered. They never did. I uphold the view that we as a People are judged on how we protect those who cannot protect themselves.

I am a writer. All I can do is write words that no others can write so that we all understand that it is not just a memory we are giving thanks to but our futures for which lives were given.

This poem I finished on Anzac Day and at 6.30 am on that day I stood alone on the Western side of the Anzac Bridge in Sydney and read out my Anzac Tribute.

A rousing of our Nation with thee alongside for that which you did so aspire to be.

An aspiration of Nationhood born of independence, a stalwart toil and an undoubted bravery.

A fire of spirit that you our Anzacs have left as an eternal flame of sacrifice to ignite within us that which you so desired and fought for – a freedom and a future.

Today this fiery welcome to thee it doth be for the Anzacs and to all those who have giveth of life for their Peoples.

What are you going to do differently in 2018?

They threw me handcuffed into the back of a Police Van which was very uncomfortable as it was not a smooth ride. I was rolling around handcuffed in the back of the Police van. I had to jam my feet up against the side of the van cell in order to stop myself being injured by the rough ride.

truth

This is my answer to the Question which is on Quora.

I am never ever going to stay in a Hotel Room in Australia without a camcorder recording my stay in the room live to a server via wifi or a direct internet connection. Why?

Because in 2012 I had just booked into a hotel in Albany Western Australia and was on the bed relaxing when 2 Western Australian Policemen burst into the room, handcuffed me and said I had been loud and ‘out of control’ or words to that effect– I was in the Hotel room on my own and being quiet. The radio and TV were not on.

When I say ‘burst in’ I mean just that. No knock on the door. It was full-on. If I had resisted it would have been the Taser. They never asked me anything about what I was doing or took a statement. They said I had to go for a Mental Assessment! They put the handcuffs on me whilst I was still on the bed.

They were very very aggressive both verbally and physically. They made no attempt to talk to me it was all very abusive and threatening.

Even if I was making a noise which I was not, since when do Police burst in handcuff you and take you off to have your Mental Health assessed for being noisy?

When we arrived at the Albany Hospital nobody interviewed me or even spoke to me. I was put in a bare room with just a bed and one cupboard. I was injected with a drug twice – despite my objections. I never raised my voice or struggled as I knew that they would sedate me and who knows what else.

The injections made me very tired. I struggled to put on even a pair of socks .

After a couple of days I was put into a room with furniture. They continued to give me oral drugs. Why, I have no idea. I did not swallow them.

It took 3 days for the red welts and bruises from the handcuffs to go down and several days for the large lump on my arm from the injections to dissipate.

Initially the legal advice brochures were taken off the stand in the hospital making it impossible for me to get qualified legal representation.

The day after I was illegally detained and for the first 2 weeks I was allowed to go out on my own and wander around Albany – which makes a mockery and a lie of why I was detained. I even went horse riding.

I went to the local radio station but they expressed zero interest.

The local court Clerk of the Court said what had happened to me was very wrong and said she would demand I be released. Then the next day she said that there was nothing she could do and that I had to get a solicitor.

The local solicitor said she could not do anything. It was like being in a horror film. I had to pinch myself to be reminded that I had rights.

I went to Albany Police and made a complaint but was given the brush-off.

I was only interviewed once by two psychiatrists who seemed obsessed with my views on how to improve the World. They would not discuss why it was I was there in the first place.

Then suddenly I was told I could not go out and wander around so I was bored senseless walking up and down in a little yard they had. Nobody spoke to me.

Finally after 3~ weeks they said I could go. No explanation and no apology were given.

LOL. Apparently I was delusional because I wanted to write to improve the World. They found nothing wrong with my Mental Health.

Now what happened to me is to be the subject of a serious complaint. It was a very unpleasant experience and I still have no idea of why it occurred.

Both the West Australian Crime and Corruption Commission and the Western Australian Mental Health Commision have indicated that they will carry out an investigation into what happened.

What occurred does fall in line with other UK and Australian Government Agency efforts to question my writing and opinions. All of which have failed to find anything wrong with me and my writing.

I have written to all the major Australian Media about what happened to me in Albany but they do even reply back with an acknowledgment – which is strange as it is a very newsworthy story.

It also raises the question is the Mental Health Act being abused by those who seek to use it for their own purposes?

I am returning to Australia in February complete with tape recorder and camcorder and a live feed to Facebook!

What strategy should one follow to achieve mental peace?

Principle is necessary to provide you with a rockbed onto which you can anchor your belief.

truth

This is my answer to this Question on Quora.

Principle is necessary to provide you with a rockbed onto which you can anchor your belief.

Principle is necessary to provide you with a rockbed onto which you can anchor your belief. Without Principle you are incrementally drowning in a confusion of lack of self-belief and a gradual descent into Hell.

I will illustrate my understanding of emotional stability this way;

On 12 August 1943 during World War Two a man died. He was one of many that died that day. He died not for the duty he was obliged to endure. He died so that today 11 December 2017 we could enjoy the rights of self-respect that we provide to each other. His sacrifice must never be forgotten and his legacy must continue in our everyday acts.

His was a death of Principle. The true fight of good against Evil. When you have Principle your life has purpose, it has meaning and you are able whenever possible to ensure your Principle helps those who cannot help themselves.

When that man died in 1943 fighting the Evil of the Third Reich to ensure that we all live in freedom he died for all of us. Including the children of Yemen.

It is not possible to be a person of Principle when you supply bombs and missiles that you know without any doubt are going to be used to kill and maim innocent men, women and children. You do not then go to Church and before God say ‘I am supplying bombs and missiles which will be used to kill innocent men women and children please forgive me’ – because he will not.

That is my second emotional stabiliser. Self-belief and my understanding of the Word and World of God.

I say to myself ‘Would God supply missiles and bombs to kill children in Yemen’? The answer is No. God guides me but he does not rule my life. For that is why he gave us imagination so that we could dream of the possibilities of mankind in all its wonderous of infinite achievement.

To be emotionally stable you must believe in yourself before you believe in anybody else. You must appreciate yourself.

It is not possible to appreciate yourself when you do not appreciate others.

Therefore, to be emotionally stable ensure you have a Principle that respects others and that provides you with a stability against all that attempts to harm you. That Principle will allow you to believe in yourself and thus to believe in a faith or an understanding of what is good and bad.

Happiness is a product of good not Evil.

What is something you always wanted to try out?

Twice without success U.K Government State Agencies have attempted to question my Mental Health. Theresa May was the Home Office Minister at the time. It was a Home Office Agency that initiated the assessment(s) of my Mental Health.

I want to and will try out my case against the Prime Minister Theresa May and the Government of the United Kingdom.

The letter below states very clearly that there is nothing wrong with my Mental Health. Why then was it put into question?

On both occasion they have failed to prove there is anything wrong with my Mental health. On both occasions it was my opinions, beliefs and ideas that were questioned.

The same opinions, beliefs and ideas that I write of on Quora.

I will be taking the Prime Minister and the Government of the United Kingdom to Court for attempted suppression of my freedom of expression and my right to freely express my beliefs.

I will also be taking the Prime Minister Theresa May and the U.K Government to Court for other matters.
