David Hicks speaks at the Mem Hall in Bellingen tomorrow night.



In the US it is illegal in some states to feed a homeless person.  In another state it is illegal to grow a Vegetable garden, and its deemed illicit water if you catch some rain water for your own use.

Can someone please tell me what is going on.  This is not freedom and I do not feel free while this is happening to others while I am alive.  I must institute change around this. I  am terrified for my children if this is modern life and they accept this as a normal thing because school told them so.

David Matthew Hicks is an Australian who was convicted by the United States Guantanamo military commission under the Military Commissions Act of 2006, on charges of providing material support for terrorism.  All of which were not true and a distraction by the United States.

He was an ordinary person detained for showing his humanitarian side.  In this world that we all live in and are part of  one is not allowed to have their own mind.  We have to be told who or what we can care about .  . That is not freedom.  We are all locked up tighter than we realize when this is how it is.

 Entrepreneur Dick Smith, donated $60,000 to Mr Hicks in 2007 for his legal defense.   I read in  The Australian newspaper that he hoped the former prisoner would get his day in court and that was why he donated the money.

Opposition legal affairs spokesman George Brandis said  “I have seen no evidence at all to suggest that Hicks’s admission of guilt was anything other than an orthodox plea bargain within the American system.”

It is said Hicks won't appeal because he has no funds to do so and Dick Smith said he is helping other people now.
