Elk Point RCMP issue warrant for suspect in attempted murder
By Journal Staff
EDMONTON — RCMP in Elk Point are searching for a woman wanted in connection to a shooting early Sunday morning that sent one person to hospital.
An argument between two women began late Saturday night, police said. The suspect returned to the scene at about 2 a.m. with a gun, and shot several times at the occupants of the home on the Fishing Lake Metis Settlement. At the time, there were three children inside, but none were injured in the shooting….(Full Story)

Woman who shot husband gets probation
By Lawrence Buser (Contact), Memphis Commercial Appeal
A Millington woman who killed her husband with a .22-caliber rifle while he made doughnut circles in his pickup truck was sentenced today to three years of probation.
As part of a negotiated sentence, Linda Abbott, 40, agreed not to ask Criminal Court Judge John Colton Jr. for diversion, which could have erased the voluntary manslaughter conviction returned by a jury in November. In return, she will do no jail time if she complies with probation requirements.
She was charged with second-degree murder for killing husband Gary Abbott, 43, on July 23, 2005, behind their home at 9401 Riverbluff west of Millington….(Full Story)

Nova Scotia mother admits to strangling daughter, faked sexual assault
Marie Adsett and Mike Barber, Canwest News Service
BRIDGEWATER, N.S. — “Mommy, don’t,” were the last words Karissa Boudreau spoke as her mother strangled her to death with a piece of twine in the woods outside of Hebbville, N.S.
Her words were read in court Friday morning from an agreed upon statement of facts as Penny Boudreau, 34, pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of her 12-year-old daughter.
The woman wiped away tears as she was led away from Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Bridgewater, N.S. Boudreau was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 20 years….(Full Story)

The Act of Procreation: Crime or Patriotism?
February 2, 2009 by Walter Schneider.
Depending on one’s view, the sex act is either a sham or an act of procreation. It can in the eyes of some always be a crime if a man engages in it and has sex with a woman. It can easily be a crime, even if no crime was intended, but it can, when the need arises, also be an act of patriotism, as the second story shown below illustrates.
The following contains two takes on the circumstances of the sex act, one in which the sex act is considered to be an act of exploitation (naturally, only of the seller, but not of the buyer), and the other as an act of survival for a nation, required to prevent the nation from going through the agony of a relatively quick death.
The Edmonton Journal
January 27, 2009Sex “Studios” called ‘grime of Edmonton’
Sex-trade worker once employed at downtown massage parlour testifies against owner Vishva Juneja.
An Edmonton sex-trade worker testified Monday about the daily dealings at a grimy downtown massage parlour where drunk and drugged young women offered sexual services to male clientele.
The 22-year-old woman said sex made up 90 per cent of her work at the city-licensed establishment, and that owner Vishva Juneja took a minimum $50 cut for each client.
She said he also conducted mandatory “evaluations,” during which his “angels” would demonstrate their “customer service” skills and masturbate him, for free.
Juneja, 63, is on trial facing eight charges, including two counts of keeping a common bawdy house and three counts of living on the avails of prostitution.
The young woman’s name is protected by a publication ban….(Full Story)
As always with such stories about the sex trade, they excellently describe the extent of the bias inherent in feminist jurisprudence.
The prostitutes are made out to be the real victims, while their employers and their customers are the bad dudes — provided they are men.
As the rationalizing in feminist jurisprudence goes, if men would not be willing to buy sex from women prostitutes, there would be no women prostitutes who are victims of the sex trade.
The ludicrous rationalizing further goes: The providers of commercial sexual services are being exploited when they are the employees, while their customers and employers are engaged in criminal activities when purchasing the formers’ services.
It follows that a madam of a whorehouse who for most of her younger years made a living from sexually exploiting men by over-charging them for sexual acts but who was considered to be a victim while doing so, runs the risk of being considered to be a criminal as soon as she graduates from being an employee to being an employer.
However, that rarely ever happens. (When was the last time your heard of a madam being convicted of running a bawdy house?) Such a madam is apparently looked upon favorably by the law, when her physical assets give out, go to pot, and she goes into management as part of her retirement plan, after having been a victim for the few years of her working life at the front-line of the sex trade.
Mind you, for men who don’t want to run the risk of being stripped by playing the game of Russion Roulette with every second chamber loaded, the game called marriage, prostitution is a far cheaper alternative to being married and running a 50 percent chance of losing everything they have: kids, car, cash and castle.
It is odd how far things have come with our social engineering over the past century. Heterosexual sexual activities are now virtually always a crime. Even though they are perfectly natural, they are punishable often far more severely than even murder, but only for the men who engage in the crime of having sex with a woman, while sexual activities between gay men and between gay women are — although still criminal not all that long ago — now perfectly legal, made out to be desirable and, who knows, perhaps are soon to become compulsory through peer pressure if not through jurisprudence.
See how easy it was to progress from marriages that were the building blocks of the Western culture, to bawdy houses in which it is illegal to have sex — but only for the customers, and to go from there to bath houses in whom everything goes, provided the sex partners are of the same sex?
Without a doubt, our whole society, the Western civilization, reached an evolutionary dead-end and is now, with its decadently and fatally low birth rates beginning to enter its death throws.

January 28, 2009Russia promises glory to parents who help pad nation’s population
By Alex Rodriguez
MOSCOW — In Russia, a nation with a population that has dropped by more than 6.6 million since 1991, procreation counts as an act of patriotism.So, earlier this month, eight sets of parents with families the size of football teams gathered in the Kremlin’s gilded Andreyevsky Hall to receive the Order of Parental Glory, a bouquet of flowers and the ruble equivalent of $1,600 from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
“Thank you for your wonderful family,” Medvedev told Ivan and Nadezhda Osyak as he handed them their medal. Nearby, 13 members of the Osyaks’ brood of 17 watched and beamed.
Medals for babymaking are a part of a growing array of incentives Russian authorities have been dangling to get citizens to pad family rosters.
In the Volga region of Ulyanovsk, Sept. 12 is dubbed Conception Day, and couples who bear a child exactly nine months later — on June 12 — get cars, refrigerators or cash. Russian authorities give any woman who has given birth to a second or third child a $10,000 stipend to pay for school costs or home repairs.
But there’s a flaw in the strategy: It’s not working. The population plunge has slowed slightly, thanks to a small uptick in the birth rate. However, the country’s death rate still exceeds the birth rate, and some demographers predict Russia’s population — now at an estimated 141.4 million — will fall below 100 million by mid-century.
The Osyaks, who share a cramped three-bedroom cottage with 15 of their children in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, are more than happy to keep doing their duty.
“If God gives us an 18th baby,” says Osyak, 45, a Russian Orthodox priest, “we’ll be happy.” ….(Source)
No doubt, the childless elderly — who will in their “golden years” be relying on increasingly insufficient government handouts that the steadily shrinking sector of the younger, working population finds increasingly more difficult and eventually impossible to pay for — will envy Osyak and his wife. For him and his wife there will always by a meal, a bed to sleep in at any of their children’s homes, and there will always be love for the two.

Aunt charged with murder of 4-year-old niece

January 29, 2009
A 24-year-old woman was charged Thursday with the second-degree murder of her four-year-old niece, who was found dead in a west Edmonton house on Jan. 13.
The little girl, who police initially mistakenly reported was five years old, died as a result of cranial trauma, according to the medical examiner….(Full Story)

That was the CBC’s version, whose news and programming are generally addressed to an audience having about a Grade VI mentality. A far more detailed account of the circumstances of that murder of a child is provided in the following account. That article will also leave you no choice but to come to conclusions that are not politically correct, while all such content had apparently been carefully kept out of the CBC article.

Death of four-year-old raises concerns about placement process
By Laura Drake
The slaying of a four-year-old girl and the subsequent arrest of her aunt is raising questions about why the child and her five siblings were given to the 24-year-old and her common-law boyfriend.
“This case is a bit of an aberration. It doesn’t happen like that and it shouldn’t happen like that,” said Donald Langford, the executive director of the Métis Child and Family Services Society. “You don’t see a placement like that very often, if ever. Placing six kids with a couple like that, without a lot of support, makes no sense. That’s an insurmountable task for two young people.”
The woman was in charge of her brother’s six children, aged eight months to seven years old….(Full Story)
“Placing six kids with a couple like that, without a lot of support, makes no sense. That’s an insurmountable task for two young people.” There your have it, a ready-made excuse for murder.

Behind “diversity” the muzzling of Christians

Behind “diversity” the muzzling of Christians
“Diversity” aims to suppress Christianity
By Don Hank
I am posting this as a companion piece to the article on Common Purpose and on “diversity” and “leadership” training, both from the UK but both relevant and timely for US readers.
Look how people have been brainwashed by all the PC diversity discussion in the mass media and by diversity training:
‘I have Christian beliefs myself and maybe she meant well. But it could perhaps be upsetting for some other people if they have different beliefs or thought that she meant they looked in such a bad way that they needed praying for.’
Notice how no one of another faith complained, yet a “Christian” was dreadfully afraid a Muslim or atheist might be offended on their way to hell or that a dying patient might think they were dying and realize the need for repentance. Imagine living in a world in which praying for a dying patient is banned. We are just a few goose steps away from that absurdity.
Look what else they say: ….(Full Story)

Leadership/diversity training is pure brainwashing

Leadership/diversity training is pure brainwashing
Beware “leadership training” and “diversity training” - it’s brainwashing!
By Don Hank
Friends, politicians, and particularly presidents, often use weasel words to beguile people. FDR spoke of a “New Deal,” which turned out to be Keynesian Big Government that greatly slowed the recovery from the Depression.
Lyndon Johnson used the “Great Society” to sell welfare.
Obama used “Change” to mask an attempt to nationalize American business and industry.
In the UK, they came up with “Common Purpose” to sell the EU, a veritable dictatorship which makes national governments redundant. Their only purpose: to harmonize (meaning, rubber-stamp) legislation handed down from Brussels.
Below is an urgent message from our friends in Britain. Note the words “common cause” in an Obama speech cited therein. Although the far-left global government advocates at Common Cause are only interested in enslaving Britons (as if mocking the famous lyrics of “Britannia”: “The Britons never never never will be slaves”), they have inadvertently and unwittingly created a true common cause, namely, the backlash to this insidious plot: throwing off the yoke of the international cabal of leftists and bankers who run Europe like a Chicago gang boss….(Full Story)

Children need families, not 50/50 parenting
February 2, 2009 by Walter Schneider.
What children need - not 50/50 shared parenting but to be raised in the Family founded on Marriage and for the State to stop attacking the institution and instead obey the law and assist it when asked.
By Roger Eldridge
Feb. 2, 2009
I am writing this to Charles, who asked how the Council could help him achieve the presumption of 50/50 shared parenting after a “split.”
If you go to our website http://www.family-men.com you will see our position. Read it all, not just the “About Us” section which was put up seven years ago. It remains accurate but we have moved on.
You won’t find support for “equal custody” on there because we have found after ten years serious research and experience in this that the solution to children suffering from the Family being disintegrated is something else and we know, as men, that once you analyse the problem the solution pops out.
For a start there is no such thing as a “split”. This euphemism is used because it is not politically correct in the feminist state to allocate any reasons for relationship or Marriage breakdown - except that it is caused by men. In fact, under this regime, the fundamental principle of the Courts and government policy is the extraordinary presumption that relationships break down spontaneously by mutual agreement. This allows the State to promote the myth of “no-fault” separation and divorce. The state then claims that it is just facilitating the couple who wish to separate.
The spontaneous and free movement of two halves of formerly integral matter away from each other does not happen in Nature, has never been recorded in Science and does not happen in human relationships.
Until the last fifty years and the advent of feminism with its abhorrence of anything rational, it was accepted that relationship breakdown begins with one of the spouses losing their commitment to the promises they made when they became one flesh.
Like you and many others I was seduced into joining in the victim game and campaigned for many years for the “equality” panacea on the basis that women would not initiate a separation if it meant they would lose time with their children and would not be provided for financially.
Sadly, whilst it would deter some women, it might and probably would encourage many more fathers and mothers by the predictable outcome, to give up on their commitment to the Family they took on when they first opened themselves to the procreation of children.
All the evidence - and there is volumes of it - show that children suffer from EVERY separation, not just the “bad ones” where they are ripped from one parent but from all separations, including those where mercifully one parent is not encouraged and enticed by the corrupt family Law system to destroy the other parent and his relationship with his children.
If you think about it, your duty, whether you are Married or not, is to provide for, educate and protect your child. That means every day until the day you die.
Doing it as much as 50% of the time means you are failing your child the other 50% of the time and they suffer, believe me.
What a child wants and needs is security, stability and predictability in their life. The evidence shows that they don’t care if you and their mother argue all the time and it also shows they prosper better if you stay together despite the rows. They basically want their daddy and their mummy in their life EVERY MINUTE OF THEIR LIVES, not at weekends, not for an hour in the evening three times a week and neither do they want one or two weeks with one parent and then the reverse.
The 50/50 may be good for the parents because they can get on with their life and may be marginally better for children than a lop-sided arrangement but it will never be “good for them”.
As parents - see below the report by the Family Rights Institute of Ireland - we are expected to give our lives for our children and until the last forty years that is what parents did.
Marxism, the ideology of the subversive Statists/Fabians/Feminists, requires an atomised society so that the State can easily control its every move. The Family with its Christian values and extended family “in law” creates bonds that can never be shaken and represents an enormous barrier to their plans. The radical left-wing inflitrators have clandestinely subverted the organs of the State in the Western world and have mercilessly attacked the institution of the Family founded on Marriage.
You can, of course, succumb to their devilish plot or fight them back. We have chosen to do the latter. What aids our position is that we have the Rule of Law and the Constitution on our side. The changes that we all perceive to have taken place are all illusory and merely propaganda put out by their allies in the media. The law has not changed from its founding roots. It can’t so we see our job as restoring the law and ousting the subversives who are side-stepping the democratic process. When was the last time you heard any politician or political party talk about Family law in their manifesto. I guess it is never because they never have.
These so-called reforms were instigated by shadowy persons behind the scenes. Fortunately despite their claims and rhetoric the law can be used to protect Families and children.
We just need a critical mass of the untapped power of men in the Fathers/Family Movement to see the error of being led by the nose towards 50/50 which translates into leaving our kids unprotected and undirected for half their lives and to row in behind the law so that they can again ask a woman to be their wife, safe in the knowledge that the law works as shown below and will defend their right, as long as they conduct themselves appropriately, to properly parent their child EVERY MINUTE OF THEIR LIFE!

What children need - to be raised in the Family founded on Marriage and for the State to stop attacking the institution and instead obey the law and assist it when asked.
The Family founded on Marriage is the embodiment of Christian teaching in action.
The institution of the Family founded on Marriage existed prior to the State.
The Family founded on Marriage is a unit and by definition has its own sovereignty with its own Constitution and authority.
The State is not a parent.
Therefore the institution of the Family founded on Marriage is antecedent to and morally superior to the State and to all positive law. The legitimate role of the State relative to the Family founded on Marriage must respect the Subsidiarity Principle and be confined to providing assistance - and only where voluntarily required - by the heads of the Family - the Husband and Wife - acting with the joint power and authority vested bin them to carry out their duties on behalf of the Family.
The purpose and intention of parliament in the context of Family Law must be consistent with the foundational principles outlined above.
In practice this means that all primary legislation - in the form of statute, all secondary legislation - in the form of statutory instruments, court rules and regulations and all tertiary legislation - in the form of government policy and guidelines must act, in a moral manner consistent with Christian teaching, to facilitate the better functioning and continuation as a unit of the Family founded on Marriage.
Thus it can be shown that every action of government must be “Married Family Mainstreamed” - it must form the basis for all policy planning and decision making. Currently “Gender Equality mainstreamed” controls all such policy formation despite it being inconsistent with and repugnant to the Common Good, which allows for policy to discriminate positively, as it must, on the basis of a person or group’s capacity and social function.
For all these reasons the institution of the Family founded on Marriage possesses rights which are inalienable and imprescriptible and superior to all positive law. This simply means that these rights can not be ceded or transferred to third parties and can not be superseded and regulated by the State through its organs, including the Courts. The single exception to this is where the parents have failed for moral or physical reasons and the State is obliged to step in to replace the parents - but only until the family can be rehabilitated.
On Marriage (from the French word meaning to take a Husband - “mari”) the couple become wedded and form “one flesh”. From that point they are obliged to act as one and this is acknowledged in the Law where it recognises that the heads of the Family jointly control all the assets that they have accrued together during the lifetime of the Marriage since their wedlock. These assets necessarily include the Family Home, any land or other property, all material goods and savings. The most important asset however is any children they are blessed with.
The Married Family, like all institutions has its own Constitution and authority where its sovereignty is given expression. It necessarily must have a structure and a hierarchy of responsibility and government. The heads of the Family are a committee of 2 which must make all decisions jointly that involve a third party, especially any organ of the State. Each of them individually, if they believe the children’s welfare and safety requires their intervention, also have the right, at any time, to veto any prior decision jointly made but can not unilaterally initiate the involvement of a third party.
As one would expect, where Marriage is the daily theatre in which we act out our Christian faith and teaching, the most important duty of a spouse flows from the covenant made with God in the Marriage ceremony where we vow to “love” each other and any children we might receive by the Grace of God.
This “love”, what we call unconditional love, is the authentic Christian love that was shown to us by God sending his own son Jesus Christ to sacrifice himself so that we might be saved. In the same way spouses are expected “for richer, for poorer, for better for worse, in sickness and in health” to sacrifice their own comfort, their own welfare and safety and in fact their own lives for the benefit of their spouse and children and the Family Unit as a whole.
Jesus reminds us that the two most important of God’s commandments are that we should love Him above all else - that material and selfish desires should be resisted - and that we should love our neighbour and our enemy as we love ourselves. This second commandment directs that the most important duty of a spouse, apart from the duty to self-sacrifice for the rest of the Family that flows from the first commandment, is to be open to reconciliation in these troubled times when it is all too easy tfor the other spouse to be painted as “the enemy”.
It is falsely stated that the primary duty of a spouse is to co-habit. Plainly, whilst for practical purposes it is usually the case that the Family all live together, the principles of family law do not support it as being critical. Many families exist and function well whilst the members of the Family reside in different locations. For example where the Husband may be in the services or in the merchant navy etc.
The genuine key principles that distinguish a Marriage are:
The spouses act jointly as a single unit in decision-making involving any third party;
The spouse act selflessly for the benefit of the Family as a whole and subordinate their own individual needs and wishes;
The spouses are continuously open to reconciliation.
The act of living together, ie merely co-habiting, has been falsely promoted as a defining duty of spouses precisely to create the potential for any pairing of two people - of opposite sex or same-sex - to co-habit in a Marriage-like manner and so blur the real requirement for the love - self control, submission to regulation and openness to reconciliation - characterised by the authentic Family founded on Marriage.

In order to pay the wages and make a profit the media has learnt that their clients - readers, viewers, listeners, must be good consumers or else the advertisers will go elsewhere. The best consumers are overwhelmingly women - Maureen Gaffney of the National Economic and Social Forum estimates that at least 90% of financial decisions and purchases are now made by women - so to survive and be successful editors everywhere must fill the spaces between the ads with content (what in the old days used to be called “News”) labelled WAWMAA - stories that reinforce what women like to hear - ones that say Women Are Wonderful, Men Are Awful.
It’s not that editors like women and dislike men, it’s just good for business.
The mantra of big business is growth so their strategy has to be always to maximise profit through sales. For every cent they pay to a woman they know they will get it back immediately in sales. For them to hire women rather than men, wherever it is feasible, suits their purpose.
It’s not that managers and company directors like women and dislike men, it’s just good for business.
Since the seventies governments have acted exactly like big business. They now claim taxes from virtually every purchase made so, if they want to expand their empire, they have a vested interest in ensuring consumerism is maximised.
That means it makes sense for government, like the media and big business, to have policies which use WAWMAA to justify the transfer of control of the Family income from the man to the woman. Hence the built-in bias in the governments family Courts - both in Custody and Domestic Violence cases - and Child Support laws and decisions.
It’s not that governments like women and dislike men, it’s just good for business.

2 Kids + 0 Husbands = Family
By EMILY BAZELON
At 5:45 a.m. on a recent weekday morning, Fran McElhill padded into her kitchen, in square-framed glasses and a knee-length cotton nightgown, and put on the day’s first pot of coffee. While it brewed, she sorted laundry — pencil jeans for her slight 7-year-old daughter, Lili, Nike T-shirts for 10-year-old MeiLin. When the girls woke up, their long hair matted from sleep, Fran gave them each a mug of Campbell’s vegetable soup and parked them in front of Nickelodeon so she could get dressed for her job as a lawyer at a regional New Jersey firm….
In 1960, unmarried mothers accounted for about 5 percent of births in the United States. Now they are having almost 40 percent of the country’s babies….(Full Story)

Kids are being “damaged” by mums going to work!

TopNews.in (India)
02/02/2009
Submitted by Mohit Joshi
London, Feb 2 : A new survey suggests that kids are being “damaged” with more and more mothers going to work.
It has been said that the growing economic independence of women from their male partners is contributing to family break-ups.
As per the report from The Church of England-affiliated Children’s Society and the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams’, more mums with babies just under a year old are working, and carers are looking after their kids.
About seventy per cent of the mothers of 9-12 month-old babies do some paid work compared to a quarter 25 years ago, and family break-ups are up, with a third of 16-year-olds now living apart from their biological dad, reports the Sun….(Full Story)
