Ellie Nesler Dies After Long Battle With Cancer

Ellie Nesler, who sparked a national debate about vigilantism after killing her son’s accused molester in a courtroom in 1993, has died of cancer. She was 56. She shot Daniel Driver five times in the head during a break in his preliminary hearing on charges of molesting four boys including her son….(Full Story)

F4L: It seems that there is always a reason why women can’t help themselves when they murder.  In this case, “… but her 10-year sentence was later overturned because of jury misconduct.  She cut a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to manslaughter and get out after serving three years because she had breast cancer.”

Did you ever hear of a man being sentenced for murder or serving such a sentence getting out of prison after three years because he had cancer of the prostate?  Equal justice for all?  I think not.

The withholding of Royal assent for Canadian legislation

Roger Hayes from The British Constitution Group wrote and asked a short and simple question to which I had to give a long answer, so as to to put the issue of Royal assent in Canada into the context of political and governmental evolution in Canada.

Yes, the act of interest is the Ontario Domestic Violence Act 117 (Year 2000).

The full title of the Act is:

Domestic Violence Protection Act, 2000, S.O. 2000, c. 33 - Bill 117

An Act to better protect victims of domestic violence Assented to December 21, 2000 Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows: Definitions 1.

The abstract in the preceding quote indicates that Bill 117 received Royal assent 2001 12 21, but that is erroneous, or at least it was when Gwendolyn Landolt wrote to me about it.  That was a few years after the year 2000, if I remember right.  I then checked the website of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for the status of the bill, and Royal assent had not been given at that time. The exact time when that was escapes me. I would very much appreciate it if Dave Ellison could provide me with a copy of the message in which I reported on the missing Royal assent — if he still has it.  Failing that, I could post an information request for that to my mailing list.

Normally, whenever any legislative act is passed in Canada, the history of the progress of a given piece of legislation, whether it is federal or provincial, includes the last stage of approval: Royal assent.

For example:

(Alberta) Family Law Statutes Amendment Act, 1999 (Sponsor: Victor Doerksen)

First Reading — 799 (Mar. 30 aft.)
Second Reading — 1027-33 (Apr. 14 eve.), 1239-47 (Apr. 26 aft.)
Committee of the Whole — 1416-18 (May 3 eve.), 1517-18 (May 5 eve.)
Third Reading — 1727-28 (May 13 aft.)
+ Royal Assent — (May 19 , outside of House sitting)

In the case of Ontario Act 117, Royal assent had been withheld, for quite some years, although it seems that it has now been written into the record.  However, many of the provisions for administrative and judicial changes that were to be based on the act’s passing were nevertheless put into motion already in 2000.

One of those provisions was zero-tolerance arrest policies in cases of intimate partners warring in cases of domestic- or family-violence.  Those administrative procedures for zero-tolerance were in place, but before the act they were used only against men and not against women, regardless whether the men were bleeding and the women standing there with blood-dripping knives in their hands.  The Ontario Act 117 could have been used to apply zero-tolerance policies to both partners in domestic violence cases; which was for the feminist ideologists that had caused the Ontario Act 117 to be launched clearly an unwanted consequence.

As far as I know, Royal assent is ostensibly given (almost always) or withheld (very seldom) by the Lieutenant Governor (if it is Provincial legislation) or the Governor General (when it is Federal legislation).

I can only give you my opinion on the rest of it, to give a feeling for what is happening here in that regard.  If you wish to obtain a far more informed summary of what is going on with Royal assent in the case of Ontario Act 117, you need to get in touch with someone like Gwendolyn Landolt, of REAL Women of Canada, a lawyer and, as of 2006, the executive director of REAL Women. I don’t know her current position but you can write to REAL Women to contact her; use the preceding link to find the e-mail address you must use for that.

REAL Women is a conservative organization that is a thorn in the side of the feminist forces that promote the socialist-feminist re-engineering of Canadian society by pervading and dominating the non-elected Canadian government administration at all levels of government, Federal, Provincial and Municipal.  REAL Women is such a thorn that it has to my knowledge not ever received a single dollar in government funding, while radical feminist (a.k.a. socialist- or Marxist-feminist) organizations and causes received many billions of dollars in funding and grants over the years.  After all, to my knowledge and as Erin Pizzey correctly observed in about 1998, Canada is the only country in the world (aside from the USSR), where the feminist ideology did not grow from the grass roots to political power but was imposed by the government on the people. (For more on that see: IMPOSING FEMINISM IN CANADA)

Legally and legislatively, Lieutenant Governors and the Governor General are officially the representatives of the Queen. Even though the Queen is only a figure head for Canada, her Canadian governors (appointed by Canada) have real and formal powers, such as giving Royal assent to new acts of legislation.  Their powers to withhold Royal assent are very rarely used, but now and then they are used as a last resort by the government administration to override the will of the elected representatives of the people.

The rise of feminism to power in Canada began in the ’sixties.  It began with the forces that eventually put Pierre Elliot Trudeau into power.  Trudeau used his position of prime minister of Canada to push feminism, multiculturalism, homosexual rights and, amongst many other things, the Canadian Court Challenges Program, whereby individuals or NGO activists can use taxpayer funding to sue the taxpayers, all to promote a left-wing agenda.  Under our current prime minister, Stephen Harper, the Court Challenges Program received severe cuts in funding and far smaller budget allocations, intended to force the scope of its operations into the direction of what it was ostensibly created to achieve: the addressing of complaints of discrimination against individuals or minorities, in regard to hiring and rental accommodations.

Within the scope of the accelerated social engineering imposed and launched by Trudeau there was the establishment of a Royal Commission on the Status of Women.  The article at the preceding link reflects a government-approved view, but note the many references in it to minorities of all shapes, shades, origins and sizes — without exception in the context of women as victims.  That is a reflection of the intertwining of feminism and multiculturalism in action.  For a more objective, conservative view on the subject, take a look at what REAL women of Canada has to say about it.

One of the recommendations in the report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women was that a government department on the Status of Women be established.  That then happened in 1973. Although it fell short of having a women’s minister, Canada then became “blessed” with a Secretary of State for the Status of Women, who had an office with a staff of about 200 women and one homosexual man as an executive assistant to the Secretary of State for the Status of Women. (Note also that the very first time that the term “status of women” was promoted and much publicized was through Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.)

I would love to quote a men’s rights organization or activist on those issues, but Canadian men’s rights activists rarely, if ever, write about such issues, they seem to be preoccupied with the fallout of the destruction of the family, not with the marginalization of men but with negotiating the terms of surrender - from the position of the losers - in the war against the family.  Furthermore, it was Gwendolyn Landolt who brought the issue of the missing Royal assent in the case of Ontario Act 117 to my attention.  Although I had informed a large number of Canadian men’s rights activists of the issue, not one ever responded or commented on it.

At any rate, although our governors are ostensibly representatives of the Queen, those governors are not employees of the Queen, and the Queen exerts no real and official powers through them in Canada. The governors are political tools of the powers who put them into office.  At times they become tools of last resort for those powers, to thwart the passing of legislation that does not go their way.

Canadian governors are appointed by negotiation and consensus between ruling parties and the government bureaucracy.  They are used sparingly for opposing legislation and are but one of many tools by which the bureaucracy promotes its agenda, regardless of which political party is in power.

The real political power in Canada (and that is true of all developed nations in the world, true even of the 400-year history of modern Germany) rests with the government bureaucracy, not with the elected representatives.  For all practical purposes, governors are not representatives of the Queen, instead, they are straw men (and women) that give the will of the bureaucratic powers that rule our country the appearance of legality when necessary to go against the will of the elected legislature.

I do not recall that anyone, not even in the media, ever raised a hue and cry over that.  Perhaps that is because it is not polite or “Canadian” to oppose “the will of the Queen”.

You may have a point by writing that “If it [the withholding of Royal assent] is true then it is not only extraordinary but politically explosive because on this side of the water the Queen through her personal secretary is telling British subjects that she is no longer able to withhold Royal Assent.”

Nevertheless, I doubt it very much that any constitutional lawyer in Canada will be found willing to take this on.  I am not a lawyer, but even if I were, who would pay me to question the presumption of Royal powers by governors in the face of the fact that the Queen rescinded (or was forced to rescind) all such powers in her home country? To fight that situation in the courts would require hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Besides, I would not live long enough to see the case through.  I am 73 years old.

A few last thoughts on all of that:

The issue of Royal assent in Canada is very murky, illogical and muddy, but is it only a tiny shard of a tile in a mosaic depicting a massive program for social change.  That exists in many different ways and forms in all developed nation (and in many of the developing ones). All of those programs are variations of a common theme: the implementation of Marxism (or communism or socialism, if you will) in action; through the systematic deconstruction of all existing social institutions, including our religious denominations and even our families, by invading them and subverting them from within.

That strategy for social change and for the continuing spread of socialism was envisioned and promoted by Antonio Gramsci (the leader of the Italian Communist Party during Mussolini’s regime) as well as by the members of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research (nicknamed the Frankfurt School), a communist think tank whose members were invited to the USA in the early 1930s, took (or were given) prominent positions in academe and politics and began their program of social engineering that spawned the social revolution of the 1960s that then spread throughout the world.  Let there be no mistake, one of the aspects of that social revolution is the implementation of an international agenda for the planned destruction of the traditional nuclear family.

The dream of the social engineers who foster all of this on us is that out of the ruins and rubble of the resulting social destruction a new and better, socialist, feminist, global, totalitarian regime can be constructed.

Roger, given that I wrote perhaps far more than you cared to read, I have no idea whether you like to accept this recommendation, but if you do, you will never again be able to look at the world and what bothers you with it the way you do right now.  Read “The Socialist Phenomenon”, by Igor Shafarevich, a friend of Alexander Solzhenitsyn and a world-renowned mathematician.  I wrote an introduction to that book (the book, too, is accessible online), a book that examines the history of socialism throughout time and in many different localities throughout the world.

All the best,

It would seem that socialist ideology has the ability to stamp widely separated or even historically unlinked socialist currents with indelible and stereotyped markings.

It seems to us quite legitimate to conclude that socialism does exist as a unified historical phenomenon. Its basic principles have been indicated above. They are:

  • Abolition of private property.
  • Abolition of the family.
  • Abolition of religion.
  • Equality, abolition of hierarchies in society.

The manifold embodiments of these principles are linked organically by a common spirit, by an identity of specific details and, frequently, by a clearly discernible overall thrust.

Our perspective on socialism takes into account only one of the dimensions in which this phenomenon unfolds. Socialism is not only an abstract ideological system but also the embodiment of that system in time and space. Therefore, having sketched in its outlines as an ideology, we now ought to be able to explain in what periods and within what civilization socialism arises, whether in the form of doctrine, popular movement or state structure. But here the answer turns out to be far less clear. While the ideology of socialism is sharply defined, the occurrence of socialism can hardly be linked to any definite time or civilization. If we consider the period in the history of mankind which followed the rise of the state as an institution, we find the manifestations of socialism, practically speaking, in all epochs and in all civilizations. It is possible, however, to identify epochs when socialist ideology manifests itself with particular intensity. This is usually at a turning point in history, a crisis such as the period of the Reformation or our own age. We could simply note that socialist states arise only in definite historical situations, or we could attempt to explain why it was that the socialist ideology appeared in virtually finished and complete form in Plato’s time. We shall return to these questions later. But in European history, we cannot point to a single period when socialist teachings were not extant in one form or another. It seems that socialism is a constant factor in human history, at least in the period following the rise of the state. Without attempting to evaluate it for the time being, we must recognize socialism as one of the most powerful and universal forces active in a field where history is played out.

Hello Walter

I was given your name by Dave Ellison with whom I had a long chat yesterday. Your name came up in conversation when I mentioned the fact that I was tryimg to get to the bottom of a story I had heard in relation to Canada’s political position re the granting of Royal Assent to Acts of Parliament.

Somebody told me that the Governor General (the Queens representative) had refused to give Royal Assent to an Act of Parliment and this was of recent times… is this true?

If it is true then it is not only extraordinary but politically explosive because on this side of the water the Queen through her personal secretary is telling British subjects that she is no longer able to withhold Royal Assent.

Can you throw any light on this?

Much appreciated if you can - sorry to bother you if you can’t.

Oh and keep up the good work for dads.

My Triumph Over Kwanzaa!

Is it just me, or does Kwanzaa seem to come earlier and earlier each year?

This year, I believe my triumph over this synthetic holiday is nearly complete. The only mentions of Kwanzaa I’ve seen are humorous ones.

Help find a missing child, Max-Gian

Thanks to, Marco Al cade, USA, ID, Boise

Marco, as a Father, you speak for 1000’s of us Parents and GrandParents World-Wide.

I hope the large distribution thru the ** Father Friendly Data-Base?  ** which your message has gone too, will help find your Son, MaxGian.

At least I know where my Son Javan, now 13, is and see him sometimes.

However my powerlessness tears me a part.

Knowing and seeing him slip into his Mothers ways, will and subtle Parent Alienation attempts, is little conciliation now that the checks and balances caused thru  ** Equal Parenting ** have been torn away.

To have the New Zealand Govt, her Church, and many in the NZ Mens and Fathers movement, support her all the way as the bringing him to ManHood by his Father is steadily eroded, all caused by MSD-WINZ (NZ Social Welfare) refusing to recognise our ** Equal Parenting ** Orders

Go http://rationshed2.blogspot.com and the so called NZ Mens and Fathers movement having no teeth and/courage to Stand-UP against destructive NZFamily Law and Social Policy.

When the Governments of the World enshrine real ** Equal Parenting ** deep into their Family Law and Social Policy we will see a lot less of this USE and ABUSE of our Children

Confusing Christmas for father with missing son

Confusing Christmas for father with missing son

Story Created: Dec 25, 2008 at 2:03 PM MST

By Adam Rodriguez

BOISE - Christmas wasn’t the same for Boise father Marco Al cade. He was surrounded by family, but his son MaxGian is nowhere to be found.

“There’s a hole in my heart for sure, and there’s a hole in my life,” Al cade said.

You can’t walk into Marco’s home and not know a little boy lives there. Pictures of MaxGian’s smiling face are on all the walls, his bedroom is decked out in Boise State blue and orange, and there’s brightly-wrapped presents under the tree with the seven-year-old’s name on them.

“It’s hard, it just doesn’t feel like Christmas. It just doesn’t feel the same,” Al cade said.”

Marco last saw MaxGian the day before Thanksgiving. The boy’s mother, Margaret ‘Micah’ Dunbar picked him up under shared custody and disappeared. State and federal authorities have been trying to track Dunbar down; Marco believes his former wife took MaxGian to Mexico . But it’s the not knowing - anything - that has Marco tied in knots.

“Some minutes I’m fine,” Marco said. “The next, you can hardly stand there without crying.”

It looks like Christmas at Marco Al cade’s home. There’s a red and white stocking with MaxGian’s name and presents that won’t be opened. For an overwhelmed father, it’s a confusing Christmas.

“It doesn’t feel like Christmas,” Marco said. “That’s not where my mind is. My mind is on my son and wanting to know he’s safe and wanting him home.”

Marco believes his son is in Mexico because he has MaxGian’s passport and Mexico is the only country kids can go to without that documentation.

MaxGian is 4 feet tall and about 55 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Family members have set up a WEBSITE dedicated to helping find MaxGian.

Boise Police says Margaret “Maika” Dunbar-Al calde may also may go by the alias Margaret Sanchez-Dunbar.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS.

MaxGian also has a page set up on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website. To visit that page click HERE

Find Max-Gian (Debajo en Español)

My son (Max-Gian) and my ex wife (Maika) are missing, and I am asking for YOUR help to find them.

I last saw my son when I dropped him off at 8:35am on the 26th of November at his Elementary School in Boise, Idaho.

His mother picked him up from the school at approx. 1:00pm the same day. At 7:30pm he called me from the LAX airport where he expected his older brother to pick them up. The older brother attends Biola University in La Mirada, California.

My son told me he was going to visit his brother and then visit his friend Joshua in Nevada. My son told me he loved me and had to go.

They never visited his friend in Nevada.

This was my last contact with my boy.

It is with both pain and determination I ask for your help to share this information with everyone you know and help us bring my boy home.

Please take a few minutes to look at the pictures, note the details about them, and share, share, share this with everyone you know.

Thank you!

How Will I Recognize Them?

Description of MaxGian: Age: 07 yrs, Height: 4’ 0’’ (1.22 m), Weight: 55 lbs (25 kg), Hair: Brown, Eyes: Blue)

He is very active and extremely social when in a comfortable environment. He will likely cling closely to his mother when in a new or uncomfortable environment. He likes to play all sports, ride skateboards, play with toy light sabers and swords, assemble legos, dress up in costumes, and play video games.

He will refer to his mother as “mama”. His favorite foods are chicken tacos; taquitos; chicken strips with French fries; pasta with olive oil and salt; green peas; raw carrots, and pancakes.

Description of Maika: Age: 58 yrs, Height: 5’ 1’’ (1.55 m), Weight: 110 lbs (50 kg), Hair: Black, Eyes: Brown)

She may be perceived as being shy or socially awkward. She is very cautious in new environments. Maika is strongly religious (Christian, non-denominational) and believes she is acting with God’s direction. It is likely she will visit one or more churches or Christian groups seeking spiritual and emotional support. She will gravitate to people willing to empathize with and help her. She has, and will express, very strong opinions about how people should live their lives. She will listen solely to Christian music. Maika is doting and controlling of MaxGian and will likely keep him very close to her. Maika is in good physical condition and if possible, will run and/or visit a gym daily. She is knowledgeable in nutrition, Pilates, and typically carries a wide range of supplements. She eats lots of different fruits and avoids bread (removing it from sandwiches). She will drive a small car or wagon. She strongly prefers warm tropical weather and speaks Spanish, Italian, French, German, and of course English.

Where Should We Look?

General Areas:  Southern California (especially San Ysidro), Arizona, Hawaii, Florida, Mexico, Caribbean Islands and Central/South America.

5 DWI incidents more important than a murder?

Weatherford Democrat - Weatherford, TX, USA
2008 12 24

5-time DWI sentenced

Staff Reports

A five-time drunken driver with a blood alcohol concentration more than three times the legal limit was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Parker County judge in a trial held this week in Weatherford.

In rendering his sentence, Judge Don Chrestman told Kathryn Ann Vanderburgh, 56, of Saginaw, “Based upon the facts and the totality of your circumstances, I have nothing I can do to help you. I can help some people on the highways by keeping you off the highways, so I’m going to sentence you to eight years.”

Vanderburgh was arrested for a felony driving while intoxicated charge May 1….(Full Story)
____________________
F4L: The article also mentions that the fifth DWI offence occurred shortly after Kathryn Ann Vanderburgh had shot and killed her room mate.  However, the article states absolutely nothing about whether she was indicted and brought to trial for that murder.

It seems that those 5 DWI incidents are all that matters, and that perhaps it does not matter that Kathryn Ann Vanderburgh committed murder.

Newborn child found in barn

What if the first Christmas would have happened now and not two-thousand years ago?

Newborn child found in barn - Police and Youth Welfare Office investigate

A Nazareth carpenter and an under-aged mother in temporary custody

[Original source and author unknown *]

[WPA] BETHLEHEM, Palestine: In the early morning hours, a concerned citizen alarmed officials. He had discovered a young family that were squatters in a barn. When they arrived on the scene, Social Services workers, supported by police officers, found a newborn infant whom his barely 14-year-old mother, a certain Mary H., from Nazareth, Israel, had swaddled in strips of cloth and put to sleep in an animal feeder.

When mother and child where apprehended, a man (later identified as Joseph H., a carpenter, also from Nazareth), interfered with the social workers’ intentions.  Joseph, supported by a few shepherds as well as three foreigners of unidentified origin, wanted to prevent the apprehension of the child and his mother, but the police officers restrained him and prevented Joseph and his supporters from interfering with the social workers’ actions.

The three foreigners, who identified themselves as “wise men” of an eastern country, were also apprehended. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well officers of Customs and Excise are searching for evidence of the origin of these three men who apparently are illegal immigrants in Palestine. A speaker of the police informed WPA [World Press Agency] that the men carried absolutely no identification, but that they had been in possession of a quantity of gold as well as some possibly prohibited substances. The three men resisted being arrested, while claiming that God had ordered them to return home without delay and to avoid any contact with government officials. The chemical substances that were in their possession were sent to the crime lab for further investigation.

The whereabouts of the newborn child will not be disclosed until further notice. It appears to be very doubtful that speedy and satisfactory explanations for all of the circumstances surrounding the arrival of this newborn child will be possible any time soon.  When WPA inquired with the Youth Welfare Office, a spokesperson explained that she was permitted to disclose only that, “The father is in his mid-forties, and the mother is definitely not yet of the age of majority. We presently are communicating with officials in Nazareth to determine the nature of the relationship between father and mother.”

Mary was moved to the Bethlehem Municipal District Hospital, where she will undergo medical and psychiatric examinations. She can expect an indictment. Because she claims that she is still a virgin and that God fathered her child, her mental condition will come into the focus of attention. An official announcement by the head of the Department of Psychiatry of the Bethlehem Municipal District Hospital states: “I am not in a position to tell anyone what they should believe, but when that belief leads to, as in this case, the endangerment of a newborn child, then such people must be categorized as being a danger to society. The fact that drugs, suspected to have been distributed by the foreigners who were present, were found at the scene of the birth does not evoke confidence. Nevertheless, I am convinced that, with the necessary treatment, within a few years all of the participants will become again normal members of our society.”

Lastly, WPA just now received the following update: The shepherds who were present at the scene of the birth are firmly united in their assertion that they had received orders by a large man in a nightshirt and with wings on his back to visit the barn, there to celebrate the birth of the child.

A speaker of the Drug-Crime Investigation team mentioned in that connection: “That is just about the dumbest excuse by all-out junkies that I ever came across.”

Divorce rates drop as couples realize it’s cheaper to stay together

Divorce rates drop as couples realize it’s cheaper to stay together
By Marty Orgel

2008 12 21

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The recession and economic turmoil is creating a new class of casualties: Married couples who can’t afford to get divorced. In these tough times many people are finding it’s cheaper to stay together, even when they can’t stand each other.

“The reason that the economy has such an enormous impact on divorce is that most people in the middle-income brackets are getting by on whatever income they have. They’re just getting by,” said Bonnie Booden, a family law and divorce attorney in Phoenix.

A major factor in the divorce downturn, Booden said, is divorced couples have to establish two separate households with current funds — a prohibitive factor when you’re looking at divorce in tough economic times….(Full Story)

F4L: No kidding, it is cheaper living for two in one common household than it is for two singles in one separate household each!  Who would have thought!!

Well, for one thing, the judges in the divorce courts still don’t think so. They obviously believe that income, even if a man lost his job in these troubled times, miraculously grows to catch up to the entitlements the judges keep awarding to those little, poor victim wives.

Nevertheless, I bet that just as unbridled economic growth fueled the divorce industry and just as tough economic times make it shrink and shrivel, so any any divorce attorney in a formerly thriving industry will now be quite happy to have a little extra income by writing articles, at $500 or so a pop, about a good thing that was and is no more.

It is odd that Bonnie Booden did not mention that she is a member of another  new class of casualties, divorce attorneys that may well have to close down their practices and start doing a different sort of work for a living, for lack of work from people wanting to have a divorce but not being able to afford the luxury.
