Amanda Lindhout and Nigel Brennan.

Help Free Journalists Amanda Lindhout & Nigel Brennan

Target:
Canadian and Australian Governments.
We the undersigned, call on the Canadian and Australian Governments, the Honourable Prime Ministers Steven Harper, Kevin Rudd, Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Lawrence Cannon, Stephen Smith, and both Parliments, to aid and facilitate the timely release of its citizens, freelance Canadian, Amanda Lindhout and Austrailian, Nigel Brennan.

On August 23, 2008, Canadian journalist, Amanda Lindhout, 27, and Australian pohotojournalist, Nigel Brennan, 37, were seized by armed Somali Hawiye clan kidnappers at gunpoint, just outside the Somalian capitol of Mogadishu. They were en route to a Afgoyee refugee camp nearby to report on worsening conditions in the region. Three Somalis, photojournalist/fixer Abdifatah Mohamed Elmi, and two drivers, kidnapped with them, were released in mid January of 2009.

Both Amanda Lindhout, and Nigel Brennan, are being held against their will in dire conditions, and are in need of medication, fresh water and food. Their health is rapidly deteriorating.  We ask respectively, that their situation be given the highest priority.

We appeal to both Canadian and Austrailian governements as well as any interested world government or parties, to work together in securring their imminent release.

We, the undersigned, wish to thank both countries, world goverments and interested parties for reading this petition, and for any resolution that results in the safe return of both Amanda and Nigel, to their respective families and homes.

Please write or email your local government MP's personally on Amanda & Nigel's behalf.

We the undersigned,  petition Canadian & Australian Government, the Honorable prime ministers Steven Harper, Kevin Rudd and both Parliments to aid and facilitate the timely release of its citizens, Canadian journalist, Amanda Lindhout and Austrailian photojournalist, Nigel Brennan.

On August 23, 2008, Canadian journalist,  Amanda Lindhout, 27, and Australian pohotojournalist, Nigel Brennan, 37, were seized at gunpoint just outside the Somoli capitol of Mogadishu. They were en route to a Somoli refugee camp to continue reporting on worsening conditions in the region. Three Somolis, photojournalist Abdifatah Mohamed Elmi, and two drivers, kidnapped with them, were released in mid January of 2009.

Both Amanda Lindhout, and Nigel Brennan, are being held against their will in dire conditions. Bound, and in need of medication, fresh water & food, their health has rapidly deteriorated. We fear for their very lives and ask respectively, when being held against ones free will for close to ten months, at what point Canadian, Australian or any citizens of the free world, can expect to receive help from their home Governments?

We appeal to both Canadian and Austrailian governements as well as any interested world government or parties, to work together toward securing their imminent release.

We, the undersigned, wish to thank both countries, world goverments and interested parties for reading this petition and any resolution brought to this situation, that results in the safe return of both Amanda and Nigel, to their respective families and homes.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I have heard about this very sad and terrible matter, just, yesterday, from the TV Report. And I am very happy that Nigel and Amanda have been released, from the hands of these bestial criminal terrorists, and I pray to my LORD GOD, that they would be able to recover, from the damage, caused, to their health! I would like to thank, very much, to their families, friends and to all people, which helped them out from this horror and terror, and from the certain death, and for showing their True Love and Compassion, and an Excellent Example for all people in this World! That the Australian government DID NOT HELP, I can understand, also, as please, tell me, how could an EXCELLENTLY ORGANIZED BESTIAL TERRORIST MAFIA stand up AGAINST a same kind of “little unprofessional” TERRORISTS, somewhere in Somalia, and rescue people from their hands, and interfering, with their “small businesses”, when they are doing the same thing professionally in a huge scale, daily?! Please, just look, at www.ludovitbialon.com what the Australian government and her English ruling regime were doing to me, now, already 22 years period of times, absolutely innocently, after eliciting me, as a young talented 26 years old Professional Singer, from Vienna Austria, to come, to Australia, to get rid of me, there, without a trace, - promising me an excellent employment in my Professional field, as a Professional Singer and Dramatic Tenor, with the Opera Australia, in Sydney, and three month later, after my arrival to Sydney, making, on me, through their Australian Police, their organized criminal assassination's attempt, absolutely innocently! Totally destroying this way, my perfect health, which I arrived to Australia, with, and additionally criminally destroying also my prestige Professional Singing Career! Then immediately criminally hijacking my Legal Case, resulting from this matter, and holding me, 3 years in Australia, then, 11 years back in Austria, and now 8 years, in Australia, again, as their hostage, under their criminal terrorist dictatorship, over my entire life, and this, even until today, when I have my 49th Birthday, so I could not see my dear Mom, in Slovakia, where I was born, already 8 years period of times, again! And all of this, they did to me, just, thats way, because, I am a Maternal Strait Line Royal Descendant, from their English Monarch King Henry VIII and from his just and only, God Given, to him, always truthful, and always legitimate Wife and Queen Consort the German Princess and English Queen Anne of Cleves, (in case of concerns, please see the proves of the consummation of their marriage-“amusing themselves in another chamber”- for 24 hours in one go...! http://englishhistory.net/tudor/pricleve.html ) which the Royal Children, from, - their first- born Princess, born, in Sept/October 1540, - which became, my next Ancestry Grandmother, and their, new born Prince, which you certainly may know, under the Name "Faire Boye", born, in January 1542, please see:http://books.google.com.au/books?id=hf0TAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA97-IA1&dq=Anne+of+cleves+Agnes+STRICKLAND,+%22+Lives+of+the+Queens+of+England#PPA85,M1  had to be, both of them, right, after the birth of this, their second Royal Child, in 1542, to save, at least, their little baby lives, sent away, from England, into Exile, on to the Slovak Territory, of the Holly Roman Empire, where they, and all their Royal Descendants, then, had to live, "hidden", in poverty, need and discriminations, and where all these their Royal Descendants live, this way, even, until today! However, as you will be, may be, able, to understand, from this my True Testimony, also, these, my English Royal Ancestors were absolutely, NOT hidden, before those, which after their half sister - the English Queen Elizabeth I. past away, have, illegally, sat themselves, instead of them, on the English Royal Throne, from their Father the King Henry VIII, and this, even, despite of knowing, absolutely, exactly, that the Royal Children and the Royal Descendants, from their English Monarch King Henry VIII and his Wife the German Princess and the English Queen Anne of Cleves, have been, still, living, in Exile, in poverty and need, on the Slovak Territory of the Holly Roman Empire! And so, when I, exactly 444 years, later, in 1986, at my age of 25 years old, because of my discriminations, decided, to leave the communist Czechoslovakia, and to pursue my Professional Singing Career, further, in abroad, - immediately, further continuing, my long years continuous studies of the Professional Singing, also, in Vienna Austria, at the Vienna State Conservatory of Music, I have been elicited, to come to Australia, by the Anglo- Australians, offering me, an excellent employment, as a Professional Singer and Dramatic Tenor, with the Opera Australia, in Sydney, where instead of this, 3 month, later, after my arrival, to Sydney, on the 11th of October 1987, the Australian government and her English ruling regime, through their Australian Police, have committed, against me, their organized criminal assassination's attempt, on me, absolutely innocently! And because, despite of my most terrible injuries, I remained still alive, they have continued, this, their bestial terrorist crime, against me, with their most wicked organized widespread criminal terrorist conspiracy, against me, even, further, which takes, now, already 22 years period of times! And during all these long years there was NO ONE Australian, in Australia, which would want to help me, in this matter, despite of calling themselves and Australia a decent Democratic Country! The Australian Legal System and their Australian Legal Authorities - Lawyers, Solicitors, Barristers and Judges, are just the same kind of CRIMINAL HIJACKERS AND RUTHLESS TERRORISTS, ROBBERS THIEVES AND MURDERS, SEVERELY BREACHING AND DISREGARDING THE GENUINE LAW, just like those, which HIJACKED NIGEL and AMANDA, just THESE Australian ones ARE much more stronger and much more organized, as they have much more slaves to help them, to commit and cover up their treacherous bestial terrorist crimes, like for example the Australian Police and Australian TV and Media and all their Journalists, which I was pleading for help, now, already throughout all these terribly long years, and which instead of their help, to expose these bestial terrorist crimes, against me, have disregarded me, and talked to me, like some bestial slave keepers, with their slaves, now already 22 years period of times! So that, today, I am giving this, by the Australian government and by her English ruling regime treacherously criminally hijacked Criminal Legal Case, which was against them, before the HIGHEST COURT OF JUSTICE, IN HEAVEN, RIGHT, BEFORE THE HOLLY THRONE OF THE ALMIGHTY AND HIGHEST ONE! As I am also a Human Being just like Nigel and Amanda were, when they were crying and pleading for help, to rescue them, from the hands of these CRIMINAL TERRORISTS, but just with that small difference, that my dear poor Mother – THE MOST GENUINE ENGLISH ROYAL PRINCESS and according the ENGLISH LAW, THE JUST AND ONLY GENUINE AND TRUE HEIR TO THE ENGLISH THRONE, FROM HER ANCESTRY GRANDFATHER THE ENGLISH MONARCH KING HENRY VIII, which had to work terribly hard, as a cleaning lady all her life, just to be able to bring up her three ROYAL CHILDREN, in all her DECENCY and MAJESTY absolutely alone, did not have millions of dollars, to pay, to the FAKE English queen, and to her Australian government, and to their English ruling regime, and to their Australian Police, and to their Australian Legal System, after their CRIMINAL TERRORIST ATTEMPTED MURDER ON ME, on the 11th of October 1987, so they would let me, at least, to immediately, come home, nor to the Australian and World TV and Medias and to their Journalists and Reporters to expose this matter before the entire World and to rescue me from their filthy treacherous criminal terrorist hands!!! However, I hope that you will have now enough compassion, and may be also enough embarrassment, and human dignity now, to immediately expose this criminally hijacked legal matter, in front of the entire world, now! Please excuse my English, as I never had the opportunity to learn English at school! Thank you very much! Best Regards! Prince of England and Ireland From Tudor-Cleves Ludovit Bialon.

Amanda and Nigel deserve to be brought home. I have traveled extensively and always feel proud to land back on Canadian soil, but is situations like this that do not make me proud to be Canadian. Canada needs to take action and help Amanda get home. Its brave, inspired and passionate individuals like Amanda and Nigel that take risks to keep the rest of us out informed and out of the shadows of ignorance. Please bring these two amazing people home safely!!

I am one of the latter. Looking forward to meeting you soon. REMEMBER, FREEDOM WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE MIRACLES HAPPEN.
