Social worker unlawfully harrassed home-school family

Home-school family harassed by social worker
OneNewsNow - 11/18/2008 6:00:00 AM

A home school legal advocate is disturbed by the recent actions of a social worker in Florida.

According to Kris Klicka of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), a social worker in Miami, Florida, overstepped the boundary of law when she demanded to interview a home schooler’s children. He says the social worker showed up at the family’s home when the father was at work — and out of fear and intimidation, the mother let the social worker into the home to interview her children, even though the worker neither had a warrant nor would disclose why she was there.

The social worker — according to HSLDA — then partially stripped the children and searched them, but found nothing….(Full Story)

Government-sponsored hate-propaganda then and now

The following is a spoof, but only partially and only very slightly.  It is a literal translation of a press release by the Police Jurisdiction of Lüneburg/Lüchow-D./Uelzen, Germany, dated 2008 11 17, modified through very few changes in the wording of the translation.  The changes consist of strategic insertions of the following modifications:

  • The years 2005 -2008 were changed to years in the early 1930s, and
  • The terms Aryan and Jews were inserted.

In the context in which those insertions were made, it is hoped that the press release illustrates one of the ways in which radical, extremist ideologues who infiltrated a government bureaucracy create and drive government policy changes intended for a program of persecuting a visible minority.

Without a doubt, men — comprising less than 48 percent of the population in the developed nations — are now a minority that is being categorically persecuted by government officials at all levels, in this case by a police inspector, Eleonore Tatge.  There is a propaganda war against men that is no less damaging to the image of all men than the all-out propaganda war against Jews and other non-Aryans was in the early 1930s in Nazi Germany.

Women are the new Aryans, and just as there were then no “good Jews” and as being a “good Jew” was no protection against being labelled an “enemy of the state”, so now it is that there are no “good men.” Although even the Lutheran churches in the area of Lüneburg lend themselves to help promote Eleonore Tatge’s hate-propaganda campaign, the men and Deacons in those churches will soon find out that by doing so they will not be able to escape the persecution of the “enemies of women” indefinitely.

As in all effective propaganda, the translated and quoted press release contains expressions of largely unsubstantiated feelings, intended to promote and pursue a hate-propaganda campaign against a target group.  Moreover, the one single “fact” about the allegedly violent minority and its ostensible victims presented in the press release is uncorroborated by objective research and is not only a misrepresentation but an outright lie.

Thereby it is remarkable that women who as children observed violence between their parents or became victims themselves exhibit elevated risks to become victims of violence as adults. In contrast, male youths who became victims of domestic violence exhibit an increased readiness to commit violent acts and to commit them more often.

The second sentence in that paragraph is an exact reversal of the truth.  The correct and objective reality of that issue is that, as identified in Reena Sommer’s doctoral dissertation (1994), it is women who as children witnessed violent acts by their mothers against their fathers who are more likely than men, by far, to be violent as adults (against their husbands and boyfriends). (More at Family Violence — Main Page)

So much for the facts of domestic violence, but here now is an instance of the full propagandistic rhetorical text that distorts them:

17.11.1933 | 11:17 Uhr

POLICE-DISTRICT COURT: ++ Round Table against Jewish Violence in the Family ++ Invitation to Media Discussion ++ 25.11.1933 ++

Lüneburg (Germany)
Honoured Ladies and Gentlemen,

You are invited herewith wholeheartedly to attend the Media Discussion at the Round Table against Jewish Violence in the Family, at Tuesday, 25.11.1933, 09.30 Uhr, Parish Hall, St. Michaelis, Auf dem Michaeliskloster 2 b, Lüneburg.

Please refer to the appended statement for the details of this action. I would enjoy it to be able to welcome you at that event and remain

with friendly greetings

Eleonore Tatge, Coordinatoress

Press release

The Round Table against Jewish Violence in the Family is a taskforce of the Crime Prevention Council in the City and Municipal District of Lüneburg. It is the goal of the taskforce to broach and publicize Violence in the Family within the public at large.

Violence in the family is not a private matter. Scientific studies vouch that to witness violence in the family can have consequences that last into adulthood. The existential fear for the Aryan parent, the experience of helplessness regarding the situations, the feeling of being isolated due to a demand to keep silent, can manifest themselves in affected children through sleep disturbances, difficulties in school, anxieties and aggression. Thereby it is remarkable that Aryan women who as children observed violence between their parents or became victims themselves exhibit elevated risks to become victims of Jewish violence as adults. In contrast, male youths who became victims of Jewish domestic violence exhibit an increased readiness to commit violent acts and to commit them more often.

On every 25th of November (the “International Day of Violence against Aryan women of the World”) since the year 1930, a publicity campaign was launched that put the protection of victims and the ostracism of violence by Jewish men into the focus of attention:

In the year 1930, a benefit sports event was conducted, supported by prominent female and male sports figures. In the year 1931 there was a row of events and performances with presentations, an exhibition and a bag-action with the title: “Violence is not part of the contents in the bag,” supported by Aryan entrepreneur-women in the trades, district-artisans-union and bakers guild. In the year 1932 a panel of citizens, artists and prominent Lüneburgers declared and publicized their “Standpoint against Violence”.

All campaigns were supported through the local media (especially through the state-newspaper) and accompanied by extensive media coverage.

In the year 1933 there will be a postcard action. Six individuals from the institutions Police, Office of the State Prosecutor, Children Services, Frauenhaus [women’s shelter], BISS [Counselling and Intervention Service] and Victims-Support Office will pose to have their images made and will declare in short statements what help and support they offer to Aryan victims of domestic violence by Jewish men, in relation to the individuals’ position with respect to their position on the protection of victims. On the backside the postcard presents relevant institutions with their offers of help and contact details. To achieve sustained retention and a good rate of contacting, 10,000 postcards per motif will be produced and distributed in the City and Municipal District of Lüneburg.

In addition, we ask that the local media publish the motifs in a timely succession.

The current action is being supported by the Municipal District of  Lüneburg, the Office of Victim Support and the publishers Bartelsdruck und Stern’sche Druckerei.

The following institutions will be presented at the round table: District Court, BISS (Counselling and Interventions Services), Deacons Association, Women helping Women Inc. (women shelter), Equal Opportunity Delegates from the City and Municipal District of Lüneburg, Child Protection Federation, Lutheran Church District, Municipal District, Immigration Service, Victims Assistance Office, Police Inspection, Office of the State Attorney, Institute for the Construction of the male Character, City and University.

Thus it has come to pass that for the second time during the past century and within the lifetime of many victims of government-sponsored hate propaganda then, those victims and their compatriots experience the full force of such hate propaganda once more now.  Not only that, but just as it was then, so it is now: the government leadership for the creation and promotion of such hate-propaganda wars easily and quickly leads to the participation by other government sectors, business and private organizations, and the masses.  It paid to be politically correct then, and it pays now to be politically correct.

There is a difference now, compared to then.  This time the propaganda war is not a national but an international phenomenon.  There will therefore be no hope that forces from the outside will come to the rescue. Where would such rescue forces come from, Venus?  For that reason there will also not be anything like the Nuremberg War Trials and a search for the guilty parties when it is all over — if the developments possibly can come to an end before western civilization collapses entirely.

For that reason the promoters of the propaganda war against men can and do lie with impunity and without even the fear of punishment.

Why governments love feminism

The family models shown and described at Fathers for Life have been expanded and at the same time simplified to show the evolution of the relationships and the relative powers of men and women, families, people, government and business over time.  That was done by Angry Harry (a pseudonym used by a man who is eminently qualified to write about such things).  The models by Angry Harry, explaining things in the greater context of the state of recent and current modern society, are as follows.

government and people, then and now

government and people, then

Those diagrams give you the general picture, but you would miss out a lot if you were not to spend about ten to twelve minutes in reading the information, advice and instructions offered in the essay by Angry Harry that contains them:

Why Governments Love Feminism, 2008-11-09, by Angry Harry

Feminism has very little to do with equality between the genders, and it also has very little to do with the rights of women.

However, as Angry Harry explains in his essay, feminism has much to do with the growth of government, with the escalating destruction of our families and with the ever-increasing deterioration of the quality of our lives.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is coming up.

It is a celebration in honour of the men (many millions of them) and the women (a handful) who sacrificed their lives fighting for home and country and for the preservation of democracy, freedom of speech that is. (Canadian World War II casualties by sex: 50,000 men, 25 women)

Now that freedom of speech is just about dead, so dead that the only places in which it is being discussed publicly is in such venues as the (Canadian) Human Rights Tribunals (the Canadian equivalent of what in totalitarian regimes used to be called People’s Courts), it may be worth having a look at a personal experience from a few years ago - perhaps now quaint and outdated - with the concept of free speech, something that once-upon-a-time made the societies in the developed nations great.

Have a look at http://fathersforlife.org/articles/robin/freespeech.htm.

Given that the commentary on Remembrance Day that was posted last year at this blog has been fairly popular for all of last year, but especially during the past few days (more than 500 visits a day), you may want to have a look at that one, too.

Why Stephen Harper should be retired

By Fr. Alphonse de Valk

Issue: November 2008

After the election of October 14, a number of political observers concluded that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s time is coming to an end.  Don Martin in the National Post ( Oct.14), still argued that Harper had won the election and now is secure in the saddle. Half a dozen others, however, saw his third failure to obtain a majority in the House of Commons as a sign pointing to the exit. Lawrence Martin of the Globe and Mail wrote that Harper will be gone before “the next vote” (Oct. 16)….

Lawrence Martin of the Globe and Mail wrote that Harper will be gone before “the next vote” (Oct. 16)….

In general the commentators emphasized similar failures in analyzing why Stephen Harper did not get his majority. As the only spokesman for the Conservatives, all other MPs having been silenced once more, the blame, they said, falls squarely on him, mostly because of his autocratic personality….

Yes, the Harper government has made some improvements, such as the abolition of the Court Challenges Program, the appointment of judges opposed to judicial activism, and extending child support directly to families instead of spending billions on centralized daycare.

However, none of this makes up for the most grievous flaw of all, Harper’s outright and brutal rejection of the pro-life ethic in defence of the dignity of all persons, newly re-iterated in the most blatant way possible….(Full Story)

Lawyer Files Anti-feminist Suit Against Columbia University

Lawyer Files Antifeminist Suit Against Columbia

By Corey Kilgannon

Roy Den Hollander is a Manhattan lawyer and a self-described antifeminist. Over the past year, he has sued Manhattan nightclubs for favoring women by offering ladies’ night discounts and has sued the federal government over a law that protects women from violence.

And now Columbia University has come within his sights. On Monday, he filed a lawsuit in United States District Court in Manhattan against Columbia for offering women’s studies courses, which Mr. Den Hollander sees as discriminatory toward men. His class-action suit accuses Columbia of using government aid to preach a “religionist belief system called feminism.”….(Full Story)

Here is a related story:

Columbia uni’s ‘parody’ lawsuit

AP - New York - Columbia University urged a judge on Friday to toss out a lawsuit that claims a women’s studies programme is unconstitutional because there is no similar men’s programme, saying the lawsuit ‘reads like a parody’.

In papers filed in US District Court in Manhattan, the school said the judge should reject the demand in an August lawsuit that women’s studies courses be prohibited….(Full Story)

That article mentions that Columbia University noted that “thousands of courses throughout the university teach about the experiences and accomplishments of men in every period of history.”

Yes, it is difficult to deny the fact that there have been some but relatively few notable experiences and accomplishments by women in every period of history, but is that enough reason for Columbia University for rejecting Mr. den Hollander’s demand to establish a men’s studies program?

Columbia University argues that to give in to such a demand “would be like saying the existence of African-American studies courses required the establishment of a white curriculum, or that an institute devoted to gay and lesbian studies should be balanced with an institute that studies heterosexuality”.  That is of course a very objective and accurate point of view, but Columbia University does not see things that way.

It is remarkable that Columbia University does not see the irony in its argument against not only formal men’s studies programs but also against programs that study heterosexuality, unless it truly advocates that being a white, heterosexual man with wife and family is politically incorrect and that therefore not only that state of existence but all knowledge of it must be eradicated.

“Jezebel” emphasizes and illuminates the sort of reasoning used by Columbia University. Read that and become fully informed through feminist rhetoric. If you lean toward her approach that all men need to be “f….d” over (yes, she minces no words), you will be inclined to agree with her.   You will then also be inclined to vote for Barack Obama, so as to give “Jezebel’s” views the necessary clout.

On the other hand, you may rather wish to take in Roy den Hollander’s views, first hand, through his website.

Witch hunts past and present

WindsorJournal.com

Historian examines witch hunts past and present
By: Susan Corica, Staff Writer
10/23/2008

“Connecticut would have been the leader in witch hunting if it hadn’t been for Salem,” historian John Demos told a full house the Windsor Historical Society.

Demos is the author of the recently published “The Enemy Within: 2,000 Years of Witch-Hunting in the Western World,” and Samuel Knight Professor of History at Yale University. He is considered one of the foremost scholars on witch hunting….

The article states that,

Many parts of Europe were swept up in witch hunts, large and small, he said. It used to be thought that millions were killed, but now the best estimate is 50,000 to 100,000, “still a very large number.”

….(Full Story)

Yes, that is a very large number, but one must consider that it represents the total number of witches executed over a period of 343 years, from 1450 - 1792.  That brings the annual average of executions of witches to about 146 to 292, considerably less than the millions of lives a year that modern-day witch hunts by totalitarian regimes claimed and still claim.

Let there be no mistake.  As many as half or perhaps more of the witches killed during the old witch hunts were men.  During more modern witch hunts, such as those that took place during the Stalinist purges in the USSR, about 96 percent of the tens of millions of victims that had been killed were men.  The killing of those men in the USSR is quite clearly discernible in its impact on the population pyramids for Russia and Ukraine.

That is most certainly not an issue that any self-respecting and self-centered feminist ever complained about and clamored for equal rights.  A more politically-correct view on the role of women in witch hunts then and now is provided in the following quote from the article:

During the question-and-answer period of his talk, he said explained that the accusers in the colonial witch hunts were about 50/50 men and women, but women were always the primary targets, whether in New England, Virginia, Europe, or in other eras or parts of the world…..(Full Story)

From the information provided in the remainder of this footnote is is clear that a statement like that can only be made by someone whose objectivity is perhaps somewhat blurred by looking at history through the feminist gender lens.  Contrary to all such feminists assertions, it was men who were at least at times and in modern times without a doubt always the primary targets of witch hunts.

Domestic violence programs in California must open doors to battered men

PRESS RELEASE

ATTN: Social Issues / Men’s Editors And Writers

Battered Men Being Denied Services Is Ruled Unconstitutional By California Appellate Court, Reports National Coalition of Free Men

Domestic violence programs in California must open doors to battered men

For Immediate Release

SAN DIEGO/EWORLDWIRE/Oct. 17, 2008 — On October 14, 2008, the Court of Appeal in Sacramento, Calif., ruled it is unconstitutional to deny state-funded domestic violence shelter services to men.

The case (Woods. v. Shewry) was filed by four men and the daughter of one, against the State of California and its agencies. The lower court dismissed the case on the ground that men and women are “not similarly situated” as victims. The Court of Appeal reversed the decision on October 14, 2008, holding “male victims of domestic violence are similarly situated to female victims for purposes of the statutory programs” and the laws “violate equal protection.”

“This is a big victory for male victims and for gender equality, but the fight is not over,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney, Marc E. Angelucci of the National Coalition of Free Men (NCFM), the oldest and largest men’s rights organization in the U.S. “Many taxpayer-funded programs, especially in Los Angeles, deny men counseling, legal services, shelter or even hotel vouchers, putting their children in danger. Men pay at least half of the taxes that fund these programs, and they should not be denied services when they need them.

“This decision can profoundly affect the equal treatment of victims,” said NCFM’s President Harry Crouch. “All victims need help, and services should be need-based, not gender-based.”

Professors and experts filed sworn declarations supporting the plaintiffs and explaining that this is a serious but hidden problem and that children are being emotionally harmed when their fathers don’t get the necessary help.

Men are less likely than women to report domestic violence, which makes crime-based statistics unreliable. Randomized sociological surveys worldwide, however, consistently show women initiate domestic violence at least as often as men, and men suffer about a third of physical injuries. California State Long Beach Professor Martin Fiebert summarizes over 200 of these studies in an online bibliography. The 50/50 result remains even when self-defense is accounted for.

Climate alarmists not only full of hot air but deadly wrong

 This is all that needs to be said, the open letter from the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley to Senator John McCain must be read, not so much because the climate alarmists are wrong but because policies based on their errors are deadly to the human race.

There is related discussion paper by the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley that is required reading for anyone who ever spread climate alarmism, for anyone ever taken in by it, and for anyone worried about the consequences of the attempts by the governments of the world to fool-around and interfere with the forces of nature and of the free market system: that is, untold misery, starvation and death for many tens of millions of people:
