UNITED TAU SUG PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS
DECLARATION OF ASSERTION OF INDEPENDENCE
OF THE SULTANATE OF SULU DARUL ISLAM
10 DZULHIJJAH 1432 (17 NOVEMBER 2010)
BUANSA, JOLO ISLAND


Bismillahi Rahmanir Rahim
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmahtullahi Walbarakatuhu!

Sultanate of Sulu was established long before the birth and coming of colonial countries and governments, the Spain, United States of America, Japan and the Philippines – Sultanate of Sulu still known and declared UNCONQUERED!

Sultanate of Sulu came into being as independent nation-state and eventually became part of Dar-al Islam by 25th Jumadil Awwal 808 Al-Hijra equivalent to 17 November 1405 Anno Domino.

The Islamic knowledgeable person was named as Paduka Batara Mahasari Maulana As-Sultan Shariful Hashim was Sayyid Abubakar. He was the first ever Sultan of the Sultanate System of Sulu government.

International treaties signed by the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam proved that the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam was recognised as independent nation-state with sovereign native people as its citizens, the Bangsa Sug

The citizens were composed of different ethno-linguistics groups living in the different islands and islets and other adjacent land territories of the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam known today as Tau Sug or Bangsa Sug.

The elements of states held by the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam are still complete and intact according to the international law; such as people, territory, government and sovereignty. The nation-state’s currency shall be called “Pilak”.

The will of the Bangsa Sug to honour the martyrs in defending the freedom and liberty of the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam is honouring the spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness as the inhabitants of the peaceful world and as the independent nation-state member of the peaceful nations-states of the world.

So determined to see citizens resolved to own the government and to move beyond the conflicts of the past, it is right now recognizing the potential of the people and honouring Bangsa Sug men and women who made sacrifices of their lives to build a better future for the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam.

Confirming the universal principle of international peace and security and compliance to the norms of international humanitarian law and international universal human rights law, the Bangsa Sug is convening to assert the honours of human dignity of the citizens and honouring the existence of diverseness of the citizens for democratic unity beyond political boundaries without ethnic and religious discriminations to thwart any kinds of conflicts.

As member of the civilize native people of the world, the voice of the citizens is right now to declare the assertion of independence of the Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam that is adhering to the principle of Renouncing War and Denouncing Terrorism!

The assertion of independence of Sultanate of Sulu Darul Islam is right now declared!

THIS PETITION WILL BE CLOSED AT 9:00AM ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 9, 2008 AT WHICH TIME IT WILL BE PREPARED FOR PRESENTATION TO THE CCIAOR/CCIMLS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On Monday November 24, 2008 sixteen members of the Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors assembled in Orleans to review the most recent developments of the CCIAOR/CCIMLS websites. Following are some of the questions discussed.

General questions and concerns:
• Did enough planning go into these web sites?
• What are the possible unintended consequences to CCIAOR/CCIMLS members?
• What is the primary objective?
• Whose interests are best served?
• These web sites will make it more difficult for agents to distinguish their Internet services from others.

Sales questions and concerns:
• Prospects may move away from the individual web sites of agents and agencies.
• Prospective buyers have little or no reason to register on a member’s web site.
• CCIAOR/CCIMLS is unfairly using membership dues to compete with the agents for prospect traffic.
• Agent/Agency web site investment of time, effort and treasure is wasted.

Rental questions and concerns:
• A highly publicized web site places the association in competition with the member's sites. Members spend a great deal of time and money on software and SEO. The members now have one more very powerful and strong competitor for rental cutomers.
• Rental listings are mostly non-exclusive. The new web sites will inevitably have the same property listed many times by different agencies with different rate schedules, availability calendars, etc. This will be confusing to the consumers and drive rental prices down.

Many events have been organised throughout the nation to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Falklands Conflict; Birmingham are inviting all Falklands veterans to a mayoral dinner, there is a parade in London on the 17th June, and the town of Gosport has declared all Falklands Vets freemen of the town.

Most towns, large or small, are commemorating the fallen of the conflict with either a wreath laying, march past or drumhead service. Regionally Carlisle, Southport and Chorley have all held some sort of event to comemmorate the anniversary.

I am therefore disappointed that, as a city, Manchester seem disinclined to mark the event. Emails sent over the last few months to the City Council, enquiring about any planned events, have gone unanswered.

The Manchester Military Tattoo have kindly agreed to donate proceeds from this year's Tattoo on 14th July to SAMA 82, and the Imperial War Museum North have had a Falklands theme running, but nobody within the city council seems interested in remembering the 252 service personnel who lost their lives in the conflict.
This is particularly disrespectful to the memory of Pte Mark Fletcher of 2 Para, a Manchester lad who was killed whilst trying to save a friend's life during the battle for Goose Green.

I find it incredible that a city of well over 2 Million people, which MUST have been represented in this war by it's sons, can now ignore those same individuals, and the courage they displayed 8,000 miles and a quarter of a century away.

----------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

The Lord Mayor of Manchester, Cllr Glynn Evans, met with the author of this petition and another Falklands veteran in late summer 2007, and expressed sympathy with and interest in our case, and the subject of Veterans' issues.

He presented a plaque to the community centre at Goose Green along with a covering letter expressing commemoration and friendship between the two communities. These were presented to the manager of Goose Green settlement in November 2007, during the 25th Anniversary Pilgrimage.

This petition now continues to secure a permanent memorial within the city of Manchester.

WOULD SIGNATORIES PLEASE PASS A LINK TO THIS PETITION TO AS MANY FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES AND FAMILY AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU ALL.

March 18, 2006

This is a petition for the innocent targets, shooters and gun enthusisasts across the UK, who unfairly had their pistols taken away from them after the horrific Dunblane school shooting in 1996.

It was due to a failing of the local police force to indentify that this man was unsuitable to posses a firearm. After the tragedy, it was campaigned for there to be a handgun ban so that it could "never happen again". This was a huge breech of peoples civil liberties.

If you are a safe, respectable citizen who has gone through the appropriate vetting procedures and is a member of an official Home Office approved gun club, and attend regularly (while on this subject I must point out that Thomas Hamilton, the man that commited the atrocity, had been thrown out of his Home Office approved gun club, who had informed the police of this, while no action was taken.), there should be no reason why you should not be allowed to posses a pistol to use at a Home Office shooting range.

Now that London has won the 2012 Olympics, then the law is actually in breech of the Olympic Charter, which states:

Section 4: 'The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibilty of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play. The organisation, administration and management of sport must be controlled by independent sports organisations.'

Section 5: 'Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement.

Section 6: 'Belonging to the Olympic Movement requires compliance with the Olympic Charter and recognition by the IOC.

Target shooting is an Olympic Sport. The only way that it is possible to practise is to travel to the Channel Islands. This means that traget shooters are unable to own their own guns, and travelling to the Channel Islands is a great inconvienience and makes it practically impossible for the ordinary british shooter to possibly become part of the Olympics (Which they should be able to, according to the charter).

I urge you to sign this petiton in the hope that fairness and justice shall be restored to the thousands of law abiding, safe, pistol shooters who have been denied their sport.

In our school district, it is numbers that matter. Our teacher's placements are directed only based on their seniority level, not skill or attitude, simply seniority. Our band teacher has outdone every other one I have ever had. I live in a community of islands and it was not economical to hire a teacher for every single island. So, our teacher came up with the idea to create a floating band. Kids from 3 different islands get on the ferry, one after the other and for almost 4 hours we play and learn and create great relationships. Now our district is taking that away.

My family and I have resided in Parker Island aka "Palm Haven Estates" located off County Rd 29, Lake Placid, FL, for 11 years. The best thing about the purchasing our home and land was for the "QUALITY OF THE GREATEST WATER AROUND". We have had the best drinking and cooking water here, until the beginning of 2003. Our water has been tainted due to the fact of excessive pumping from "Heartland Waters". This water is being pumped from my families backyard, the traffic of all hours is unbearable. Especially to those of us whom are waken from sleep due to the noise.

I have children that go to school everyday tired from a lack of sleep, I myself am a mason by trade and need sleep too. I noticed sand in the bottom of our glasses, and my fish tanks as well as my pool, which also brings on an uncontrolable amount of algea build up. I also notice in the bottom of a cup this am, of 03/11/2003 some type of grit and greenish colored substance. Which took bleach to remove the stain. I have never in the 11 years I have lived here needed bleach for my clothes (which are starting to yellow). Much less needed bleach for my dishes. Please don't forget about our personal cleansing I myself have finicky skin and even the softest soap such as Dove, Lever 2000 is rough on my skin. I feel that yes my neighbors are suffering from the same problems. This pumping is causing a road attached to my propety aka "Coots Road" to cave in. (Which the residents have chosen to claim as theirs and fenced it off). They are also dumping some type of fluid into the canal (county maintained) which is also attached TO MY LAND, which is discoloring the water. Keep in mind my children love to fish and do so in this now putrid canal. Which is being ruined by "Heartland Water" excessive pumping. I personally am going to be at a loss of a safe environment if this pumping continues. PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION AND SAVE "PARKER ISLAND"

Thank You Shara Michaelsen

Minvielle & Chastanet Ltd., a large St. Lucian company wants to capture wild dolphins and put them in a sea pen for tourists to play with!

St. Lucia and the Commonwealth of Dominica currently have captive dolphin facilities in the planning stages. The one in Dominica is partially constructed.

The two foreign investors involved are in St. Lucia, Dolphin Fantaseas and in Dominica, DOLPHINS PLUS.

A permit will be sought for the first 6 bottlenose dolphins for the St. Lucia facility to be captured in St. Lucia's territorial waters, in defiance of the SPAW protocol of the Cartegena Convention, which St. Lucia has ratified.

The dolphins for Dominica have recently been transferred from the Dolphins Plus facility at Prospect Reef in Tortola, which has closed down.

Our dolphins are a shared resource. Both St. Lucia, Dominica and the islands
to the north and south have thriving whale and dolphin watching operations, generating income for many.

These animals are large, wild and free ranging and it is wrong to confine them to enclosures, however "large" or "deep". They can never be as large or deep as the ocean which is their home.

The proposed St. Lucia facility is in an inlet at the entrance to Castries harbour which is not only extremely polluted, but is directly in the path of low flying aircraft coming in to land at the airport, and yards away from large cargo and cruise ships entering the harbour.

In times of heavy rain, the bay fills up with plastic rubbish from the Castries river. Plastic is extremely dangerous to marine mammals.

The Dominica facility is in a quieter area, but the irony is striking - Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean, pioneers of the whale and dolphin watching industry, promoting swimming with captive dolphins?

This will be a blow to the images of both islands and any others which chose to go this route. We are hoping that the recipients of this petition will reconsider their positions and follow the example of so many countries in South and Central America whose authorities have come to realize that cetaceans are totally unsuited to captivity.
