Not guilty by reason of insanity, and all is well

January 20, 2008 by Walter Schneider.

The story of the “Loving mother who didn’t understand what she was doing” when she drowned her 16-year-old daughter needs to be put into context.

The killer was found not guilty by reason of insanity. She is unlikely to be declared criminally insane and will without a doubt in short order reconvene her work as a productive member of society. After all, the jury took just 21 minutes to return the verdict of not guilty for reasons of insanity. The jury agreed that she either did not know the quality of her actions; that she did not know what she was doing was wrong, or that she was unable to refrain from what she was doing.

It was apparently not put into question by anyone that the killer was unaware of the immediate consequence of her actions, namely the death of her daughter. The killer could for that reason not have been completely deranged.

Still, the killer has been properly declared to be a victim, and to state otherwise would, in “Justice Carney’s words, who, in summing up, had advised the jury that to return any other verdict would be to suggest that “all psychiatry is bunkum”", be heresy. “Superintendent Aidan Roche, of Thomastown Garda Station, later said he welcomed the verdict.”

Juries have historically been unable to find women guilty of having committed capital offences. Infanticide is a category of crime that was invented especially and solely for women who killed their young children, so as to alleviate the need for juries to have to find such women guilty of murder. According to Patricia Pearson, author of “When She Was Bad: Violent women and the myth of innocence”:

In England, support for hormones as the cause of all maternal aggression against infants is enshrined in the law. In 1922, parliament introduced the Infanticide Act, which reduced the crime automatically from murder to manslaughter on the basis of insanity if a mother “had not fully recovered from the effect of giving birth to such child, but by reason thereof the balance of her mind was then disturbed.” The point of the Infanticide Act was not that British doctors had suddenly discovered a link between postpartum hormones and violent behavior. To this day that link hasn’t been categorically established. The point was to rid the courts of the necessity of imposing murder sentences, since juries had been refusing to convict women when the penalty was execution. For instance, following five thousand coroner’s inquests into child deaths held annually in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century, only thirty-nine convictions for child murder resulted, and none of those women were executed. Similarly, in Canada, when a mandatory death penalty applied to the murder of children, “courts regularly returned ‘not guilty’ verdicts in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.” [p. 80]

It appears that at about the same time as women were given the right to vote, they were also given the benefit of being not accountable for their actions by reason of insanity due to hormonal imbalance.

That was just a first step. The age of the children who became victims of child murder within the definition of “infanticide” was extended to one year, from the previously “acceptable” one to two days. Patricia Pearson says:

In 1938, Britain revised its infanticide statute, extending the age of victims from “newly born” to “under the age of 12 months.” To justify this extension, the revised statute cited “the effect of lactation” on a woman’s mind. It was decided, in effect, that breastfeeding could drive women mad. The experts who proposed the revision to the courts privately believed that social and psychological factors were more critical than biology. Studies consistently show, for example, that preexisting histories of depression and life stress are a common denominator in women with postpartum mental disorders. But psychiatrist J. H. Morton defended the diagnosis of “lactational insanity” as being acceptable to conservative judges and barristers. It was never proposed that the Infanticide Act forgive mothers for killing older children, spouses or others, even while said to be suffering from the same insanity. [p. 80]

However, as is clearly evident in numerous cases of mothers who murder their older children, spouses or others, the not-guilty-for-reason-of-insanity finding is a frequent outcome of trials for any and all murders committed by women.

The reality of it all is that women murder, that they murder especially their own children, that they do it often and far more often than is the case with men, but that society is compelled to rationalize women’s guilt away by whatever means possible and that none of those means need to be rational as long as they are expedient in maintaining the myth of female innocence.

Study: Men and women equally victims of DV

Prague Daily Monitor

Týden: Men suffer from domestic violence as much as women
By ČTK / Published 15 January 2008

Prague, Jan 14 (CTK) - The term of domestic violence does not necessarily have to invoke the picture of a battered woman since the number of maltreated men is almost equal, and every third Czech man has experienced some kind of domestic violence, the latest issue of the weekly Tyden writes.

While dozens of studies focusing on male victims of domestic violence have been made abroad, only one survey on this subject has been conducted in the Czech Republic, without the media even noticing it, Tyden writes.

The survey made by a team of lecturers and students from the South Bohemian University, published in the book “Domestic Violence Committed on Men and Seniors” in 2006, reveals that “every tenth Czech man experiences in his partnership something that goes beyond a common argument and that is close to violence, either physical or psychological,” Tyden writes….(Full Story)

The plight of divorced dads

January 14, 2008 by Walter Schneider.

Barbara Kay, National Post  Published: Saturday, December 08, 2007

No other topics I write about so consistently provoke passionate personal response as those dealing with systemic discrimination against men. When, for example, I point out double standards for boys and girls in the health care system, or expose the use of bogus statistics around domestic violence, my inbox fills with male gratitude simply for acknowledging an obvious fact: Our culture is profoundly misandric.

Of the myriad forms of discrimination men cite, one looms over the rest: The egregious treatment meted out to fathers in the throes of contested child custody following the “no-fault” divorces most of them did not initiate or desire. My files bulge with stories of disenfranchised fathers ripped from their children’s arms and lives. They have lost their homes, their careers, fortunes, friends and reputations, often on the basis of false allegations of abuse (for which their female accusers are virtually never punished). I wouldn’t mention such anecdotal evidence, if the anguish in these testimonials didn’t jibe with objective data confirming the shameful gender bias that dominates the family law system….(Full Story)

In her commentary, Barbara Kay makes reference to the new book (but does not provide a link to ordering information for “Taken into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family,”) by Stephen Baskerville, president of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children.

Barbara Kay’s comment focuses on Canadian circumstances of divorce.  It may not seem right that she mentions a book written by a US author about the plight of fathers in the circumstances of divorce and separation.  However, the aspects of fathers who are divorced, divorcing and in any way separated from their children are not particular to US fathers.

The feminist war against fathers, marriage and the family is an international war fought intensively in all nations, especially in the developed and developing nations.  It is the key strategy for the implementation of the international agenda for the planned destruction of the family.

Barbara Kay urges that all men should read books like that by Stephen Baskerville — especially those fathers who look down upon divorced, separated or expunged fathers as being losers.

No one is immune:

First they came for the fathers, then for the mothers, and now for both parents in intact families. In the end all children will be in the care, custody and control of the State.

— Walter H. Schneider

In her article, Barbara Kay states: “If the system does not become equitable, don’t be surprised if men choose increasingly, and with reason, to play their trump card: Voting for equality with their condoms.”

That consequence should not merely be expected or feared.  It already is reality.  It is a desired consequence that the social engineers who have the world in their grip wish to use to achieve their ultimate goal, namely an 80% reduction of the world population.

Race as a factor in the People’s Courts

January 11, 2008 by Walter Schneider.

The preceding two blog entries were about the transition in many countries from well-protected civil rights and freedoms to arbitrary and capricious rule, even slavery and that the transition requires centralization of power, in other words, a transformation from well-protected constitutional rights to tyranny, a transformation from national welfare states to national police states and even to a global police state, a transformation from freedom to slavery.

Here is an example of what that will result in:

Race as a factor in the People’s Courts:

People’s Courts Project, By: Karin Himmler, Metro Aryan Abuse Council [as published in the AA Newsletter V.8 #1 Spring 1997: The Impact of Funding Cutbacks on assaulted Aryans]

Dachau Racial Violence Court.

The project targets first time Jewish offenders where there is no significant /visible injury to the Aryan person abused.

Cases are screened by the State Attorneys, who identify those eligible for the Pilot court. Aryan victims are given information cards by the police which urge the Aryans to contact the Aryan Victim Witness Assistance Program at the Courthouse. Cases are then also screened through the Aryan victim witness co-ordinator’s individual contact with Aryan victims. These identified cases are directed to attend the specialized court.

At the court, a group of both the Jews and their Aryan partners are introduced to the project. The Aryans then go to a different room as a group, and meet with a State Attorney. There is group discussion and, most importantly, each Aryan has an opportunity to talk about what she wants out of the court process.

If an individual Jew before the court on abuse charges agrees to plead guilty, and assuming his Aryan partner is agreeable, the court will accept the guilty plea. His plea will be entered and he will get a series of court orders from the judge. The orders will be Bail Conditions which will include mandated attendance at an intervention program for Jewish batterers. His Bail orders will also be changed to allow him to reside with his Aryan partner. It is specified that if his Aryan partner feels threatened or afraid she should contact Police immediately and the Bail condition can be changed to get the Jew out of the house. [i.e. no abuse, only an allegation that the Aryan feels afraid or threatened can get a Jew evicted from his home]

While the Aryans are speaking with the State Attorney and Aryan Victim Witness Co-ordinator, the Jews have the opportunity [if there ever was an oxymoron, that is one!] to meet with the centralized intake staff person, provided by the Metro Aryan Abuse Council, who is responsible for assigning individual Jews to the intervention programs. As the Jews meet with the centralized Intake staff they begin to decide if they will plead guilty and if so, they are assigned to an appropriate agency. Currently, there are ten community agencies providing intervention programs that Jews may be referred to, including a range of ethno-specific agencies with various language and ethno-cultural capabilities.

Once all of the Aryans have had an opportunity to identify what they want, the full court reconvenes. At this point those Jews charged who are willing to plead guilty and enter the program appear before the judge and are mandated to attend the already identified intervention program.

The Jewish offender is then given new bail conditions which cite that he is expected to attend the full program of sixteen weeks. During this time, the Aryan partner will be contacted at least four times by the community agency to monitor her safety and to offer her support and services. While the Jewish offender is on extended bail and mandated into the intervention program, any threats to the Aryan partner’s safety, and/or breaches of the bail conditions, are reported by intervention program staff and handled by the local police.

At the conclusion of the intervention program, assuming that all has gone smoothly, with no risk or threat to the Aryan, the Jewish offender will reappear before the specialized court and he will receive his final sentence. The final disposition will be a conditional discharge with one year probation.

All interventions programs must regard the safety and protection of potential Aryan victims as the highest priority. Towards this end, all intervention programs must ensure that Aryan partners are made aware of advocacy services through community/education outreach strategy.

The Aryan victim never causes the violence. A Jew’s violence is a matter of personal choice. Intervention strategies with Jews who abuse should focus on the abusive behaviour, not on other family or relationship issues.

In working with Jews who abuse, the physical safety and psychological, emotional well being of potential Aryan victims must take priority over the Jewish abuser’s right to confidentiality [note the definitive “Abuser”. There can not be an abuser if the victim is only “potential”].

Intervention strategies for Jews who abuse should undertake ongoing evaluation of program effectiveness, given that ineffective intervention may do more harm than good and jeopardize the safety of Aryans.

Intervention programs must be an active participants within a community-wide response, and must not operate independently.

The creation of two specialized racial violence courts in Berlin provided the opportunity to have Jewish batterer programs that strictly adhere to the standards and guidelines.

After much negotiation, the Council agreed to administer a coordinated Jewish batterer’s program. Agencies interested in providing Jewish batterer’s programs could apply to be on a roster of agencies that would receive referrals of Jews from the People’s Courts. A group with representatives from Aryan’s advocacy services and prevention programs interviewed prospective programs and identified ten agencies that met the criteria of the accountability standards and guidelines to participate on the roster. Using the standards as a guideline, the agencies provide culturally based programs, while maintaining a common criteria and accountability process. This group of agencies is actively involved in ongoing collaborative monitoring, review and tracking of Jewish offenders. Extensive work is done with other sectors, such as probation, to ensure an effective and safe response to Aryans who are being abused.

This system has been in place now for more than a year. In that time, over 250 Jewish offenders have attended programs at the ten agencies. There seem to be successes in the system, as well as areas for continued refinement and change. Perhaps the most important move is our continued work to ensure that the purpose and goal of the program is to provide safety for Aryans. We are becoming clearer that while these programs can teach Jews that there will be serious consequences for their behaviour, but it takes a lifetime to change values. [Heck, it took the Nazis only about 20 years to change values. —WHS]

We need to seriously reflect on how to continue to monitor behaviour and demonstrate the community will, indeed, hold Jews accountable for their abusive behaviour. But we must also continue to find ways to reach out to Aryan victims in order to provide support and resources to them such that they can have a real choice in creating a violence-free life for themselves and their children.

---

We may think that the Nazi’s rule was the precipitating factor in the persecution of the Jews, but that would be wrong. The program of persecution was well laid out long before the Nazis came to power, but the active persecution of Jews and the eventual final solution weren’t implemented until after their take-over of power. Imagine what things will be like in Canada if things like those described above were to be operational before the redfems were to take over all power.

It’ll never happen, you say? Sorry to disappoint you, but the procedures outlined above are in place right now in Ontario Canada and in other Canadian provinces.

The text shown above is a verbatim copy of an excerpt from an official government-sponsored document: “Domestic Violence Courts Project,” By: Vivian Green, Metro Woman Abuse Council. It is the subject of a discussion by Eeva Sodhi.

The only changes that were made to the quoted text shown above are as follows:

• Man or men was changed to Jew or Jews.
• Woman or women was changed to Aryan or Aryans.
• Family Violence Court was changed to People’s Court.
• Toronto was changed to Berlin.
• North York was changed to Dachau.
• Vivian Green got changed to Karin Himmler.

Now all you have to wait for is the final solution.

Whether it is race or gender, if we treat one sector of the population as perpetrators and the other as the victims, even though they are equally likely to be either, then we face a massive problem of discriminatory persecution of an identifiable sector of the population. We then have a rampant abuse of the human rights of one sector of the population. We then deal with an atrocious hate crime that is promoted, implemented and perpetrated by our government.

That is what we have going in Canada right now. We have a big problem, and it’s getting worse without the “Aryans” even having acquired absolute power as of now.

The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed,
But swoln with wind, and the rank mist they draw,
Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread.

From the Welfare State to the Police State in the EU

January 11, 2008 by Walter Schneider.

The preceding blog entry on the evolution in the US from the welfare state to the police state mentioned the intensive international networking of bureaucrats and judiciary activists.

Here now, and speaking of networking by bureaucrats and judiciary activists and of the problems that causes, have a look at a short summary of the problems that are occurring on account of that in the EU. There, as in the USA, Canada and other countries affected by the global transition from welfare state to police state, that progression involves no less than having bureaucrats and judicial activists abolish and abrogate the national constitutional rights of citizens — without any sort of parliamentary or congressional discussions, debates or votes.

Of course, already in 1997 Kofi Annan announced in one of his speeches that by the year 2000 the global evolution towards the abrogation of international boundaries would have progressed to the point where it could no longer be reversed.

The evolution towards a police state appears to be as unavoidable on a global level as it was in any other local totalitarian regime that established and maintained its power through the centralization of political and bureaucratic might.

However, wherever the centralization happened, whether it happened through a military, ideological, bureaucratic or political consolidation of power or a combination of them, from the first recorded instances in history until now, massive abolition and centralization of local autonomy always resulted in social and economic chaos and ultimate collapse of the societies that had hoped to create Paradise on Earth through the creation of empires.

It appears that in every single instance of the rise and fall of such an empire the creation of the police state was not possible until first the protection of the civil rights and privileges provided by the traditional nuclear family was destroyed.

The reality of that is that the implementation of the systematic destruction of the family never did and never will result in freedom, it always results in slavery. No totalitarian regime, not even a global one, can come into existence without slavery.

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” (Attributed to Lord Acton)

From Welfare State to Police State

January 10, 2008 by Walter Schneider.

My aplogies for not posting this earlier, but here, one month after the fact, is a message by Stephen Baskerville that requires you to follow its links.

 My new article, “From Welfare State to Police State,” has just been published in The Independent Review. This is the first comprehensive scholarly treatment of the Title IV-D federal child support enforcement funding system. It documents how federal funding is tearing apart families, driving divorce and single-parent homes, creating fatherless children, demanding patently impossible child support levels, encouraging paternity fraud, and criminalizing innocent parents.

TIR is not an esoteric academic journal. It is highly influential in public policy debates. Please circulate this to your lawmakers, the media, and anyone else involved in the child custody and child support machinery. Glossy offprints of the article are available from the Independent Institute and make very impressive pamphlets to give to legislators.

Stephen Baskerville, “From Welfare State to Police State,” The Independent Review, vol. 12, no 3 (Winter 2008 ).
[Link to Article]

This subject is also treated extensively in Chapter 3 of my book, Taken Into Custody.

Stephen

A 22-page article may seem a lot of reading to some, but no one will understand the intricacies and complexities of the evolution and cancerous growth of the child support system unless he does.  Let there be no mistake.  There is a unifying ideology and much networking amongst bureaucrats and  judiciary activists in the developed nations that makes the problems described by Stephen Baskerville generic and universal.  Here are a few quotes from Stephen Baskerville’s article:

•  Following ten years of welfare reform that was supposed to discourage unmarried childbearing and encourage marriage and two-parent families, these reports are perplexing news, indeed. Whatever the budgetary savings, welfare reform has failed from the standpoint of the family. The figures “clearly show that the impact of welfare reform is now virtually zero,” says Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, “and
  we are going back to the way things were before welfare reform” (qtd. in Wetzstein 2006).
  It has been well known since at least the Moynihan report in 1965 that welfare serves as a disincentive to marriage and an incentive to divorce and unwed childbearing. Yet no explanation has been forthcoming for why cutting back on welfare has failed to reverse the trend.
• Ignored thus far is how expanding welfare-originated entitlement programs have extended the subsidy on single-parent homes to the affluent. Moreover, the perverse incentives create perverse behaviors not only among the population, but also by governments.
• The welfare subsidy on single-mother homes was never really ended so much as it was shifted. Reformers essentially replaced welfare with child support, on the reasonable but largely irrelevant principle that fathers rather than taxpayers should be supporting their children (which is irrelevant for reasons we will see).
• Child support thus transformed welfare from public assistance into law enforcement, creating a federal plainclothes police force with no clear constitutional authority.
• In Maryland, government billboards announced, “We’re Looking for You, Child Support Violators.” Officials do not warn bank robbers or drug dealers that they are being targeted.
• Perhaps the most striking aspect of this mobilization is that the initiative came entirely from government officials. No public outcry ever preceded these measures, nor did any public perception of such a problem even exist until officials began to say that it does. The public never demanded that government take action, nor was any public discussion of this alleged problem ever conducted in the national or local media. No government or academic study ever documented a nonpayment problem.
• Perhaps the most fundamental disconnect between public perceptions and present reality is that whereas child support is invariably presented as a method for requiring men to take responsibility for offspring they have sired and then abandoned, it now functions primarily as a means by which “a father is forced to finance the filching of his own children” (Abraham 1999, 151).
• Data and the research assembled by independent scholars indicate that the problem [of child support arrears] is not entirely what officials and the media claim it to be. In the largest federally funded study ever undertaken on the subject, Sanford Braver demonstrated that little scientific basis exists for claims that large numbers of fathers fail to pay child support. Braver found that government claims of nonpayment were derived not from any compiled database or other hard figures, but entirely from surveys of custodial parents (1998, 21–22 and chap. 2). The Census Bureau simply asked mothers what they were receiving. No corroborative data were produced because none exists.
• Scholars largely agree that unemployment is “the single most important factor relating to nonpayment” (Braver 1998, 33; see all of chap. 4). One study team (Bartfeld and Mayer 1994) found that 95 percent of fathers with no employment problems for the previous five years paid their ordered support regularly and that 81 percent paid in full and on time. A federal pilot study commissioned by the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) itself also found no serious problem of nonpayment. A full-scale government-sponsored study was planned to follow up the pilot, but OCSE cancelled it when the pilot study’s findings threatened the justification for the agency’s existence by demonstrating that nonpayment was not a serious problem.

Those excerpts are only from the first six pages of the article.  If you are not yet interested to read more, then there is no point in quoting more, but if by now you are interested and concerned about the issue, it would not do justice to the article to quote more excerpts.  Read the whole article (241 kB PDF file)

Flushing hubby down the drain not news

Woman kills husband, flushes him down the toilet

Berlin - A woman in Germany put an end to her troubled marriage by chopping up her husband and flushing parts of him down the toilet, authorities said today.

“‘You won’t find him, I’ve flushed him down the toilet’, is what she told (her children),” said Andre Hartwich, a spokesman for police in the western city of Duesseldorf…. (Full Story)

Comments:

That story apparently did not make the big news anywhere, while the killing of a cat by putting her in a microwave oven did (Canada, Jan. 5, 2008). Some of the preferential treatment of what is news-worthy and what is not is probably due to the maxim that “Dog Bites Man” is not news but “Man Bites Dog” is.

However, that a woman killed her husband and apparently flushed him down the drain ought to have been more newsworthy than the killing of a cat, unless the feminist domination of the media has become so biased that cats rank higher in the order of things than do men — once-upon-a-time the crown of creation.

One of the clues why the gruesome murder of the husband in Duesseldorf, Germany, did not make the big news is provided in this article — already in its title:

Media Struggles To Whitewash Clinton Vote Fraud Suspicions

Professor offers new excuse - claims Hillary overturned a 13 point deficit because her name was higher on the ballot

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Thursday, January 10, 2008

The media has gone into overdrive trying to whitewash Hillary Clinton’s inexplicable defeat of Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary and sideline questions about vote fraud, with the latest excuse being that Clinton’s name appeared above Obama’s on the ballot paper.

In reality, Clinton’s reversal of a 10-13 point pre-polling deficit to Obama is highly suspicious and smacks of vote fraud, especially considering the fact that the New York Senator gained a crucial 7% swing thanks to provably vulnerable Diebold electronic voting machines…. (Full Story)
