TED.Com Speaker: Heather Brooke "My Battle to Expose Government Corruption"

Speaker Heather Brooke, presented "My Battle to Expose Government Corruption" for Ted.Com.  Ms. Brooke revolutionized the British Parliament, by exposing the fraudulent data base within the British government. Six ministers were forced to resigned, Military Police were arrested and a new government was placed in British government. According to Ms. Brooke, technologies mainstream accessibility was the main source for her success. Above that, it was the need to fight for a true democracy within her country.

Are the people of the U.S. coherent for government truths? What Heather Brooke accomplished in England was without a doubt a remarkable outcome. Her triumphant task to ask and pursue public information for the betterment of her country, provides an insight on how to gain such knowledge. Ms. Brooke spoke of, "Freedom of Speech", "Freedom of Information" and "Freedom for the People". Our government was built "By the people" and "For the people" but how true has that statement come to pass.

Such historic events have been regularly in question by general public: "Area 51", "Kennedy Assassination", "911" have all been events that have been questioned as government involved events. Ms. Brooke also refers to "Officials being held accountable for their actions" and "Power being more of a disease rather than a precious cause".  According to the speaker, we as the general public, need to fight against oppression and not allow our government to keep the public blind to such events. We as the general public have a right and a duty to find truth and hold those who exploit truth accountable.
