On-going custody battle

Today  a deserted and frustrated father wrote to me about his on-going attempts to follow his ex for thousands of miles, so as to be able to continue to play a role in his daughters’ life.

While the man was involved in custody hearings in a province in Central-Canada, his ex-common-law-wife had moved to a city in Western Canada.

Here is my response.

Hello Bill (not the real name),

As I read your account, the first thing that came to my mind is that you described a case of parental kidnapping.  Of course, I have no way of knowing whether a visitation agreement was in place then (you stated that you were fighting for one) and whether the visitation order included a provision for prohibiting one or the other parent from moving away from the other, beyond a specified distance or travelling time.

I am getting a bit too old for all of this (I am 73), but it appears that you are quite right, you need to get in touch with people in your locality.  There used to be about three organizations in Calgary that were active, but lately I have not heard much from or about them (MESA, Family of Men and ECMAS).

Here is the latest list I know that contains links to Alberta organizations, some of whom are located in Calgary.

http://www.canadianequalparentinggroups.ca/

From that:

Alberta
Fathers For Life (ours, near Edmonton)
Family of Men Support Society (Calgary)
Men’s Educational Support Association (M.E.S.A.) (Calgary)
Movement for the Establishment of Real Gender Equality (M.E.R.G.E.) (Edmonton, but that organization focuses primarily on equitable “gender” rights for all seven “genders”)
Orphaned Grandparents Association Resource Centre (near Edmonton, as far as I know)
The Equitable Child Maintenance and Access Society (E.C.M.A.S.) (Edmonton chapter; the founder was the same as that for MERGE; there was once a separate Calgary chapter that formed a separate organization under the same name after a rift with the Edmonton chapter had developed)

A few observations on Fathers Rights or Parenting Rights organizations

There are close to 50,000 active case files that are being held by Alberta Maintenance Enforcement.  Roughly one-third of those involves cases in the Calgary area, another third involves cases in the Edmonton area, and the remaining third involves the rest of the province.

I have been actively involved with fathers rights since about 1990, which led me in about 1994 to begin with the website Fathers for Life.

Right from the start I noticed that there was hardly ever more than about a dozen or a little more of truly active fathers rights activists in Alberta.  The largest public demonstrations that were ever held (in one case a picketing action in front of Anne McLellan’s constituency office) mustered no more than about 60 picketers from a large variety of organizations of whom some only remotely ever worried about fathers rights.

It can be argued that personal agendas and lack of charisma of the leaders led to low membership numbers of various Fathers Rights or Parenting Rights organizations, but it would be wrong to put too much blame in that respect on the leaders of such organizations.

The problem is universal.  It applies in all major Canadian cities and in all provinces across Canada.  The apathy exists as well in all of North America and throughout all of the developed nations.  Increasingly, the general apathy emerges in the developing nations.

It may be looked at as battle fatigue by people who wish to uphold family values in a culture that actively promotes an all-out war against the family; there is that and much more involved.  The website of Fathers for Life extensively explores the concept of the war against the family and related concepts that apply.

The fact remains that not only active participants and victims of judicial persecution such as you are largely apathetic, but that the general public is apathetic as well.  There is not a ground-swell of support for the family.  The lack of public support means that politicians do not have to give pro-family sentiments a great deal of attention, which is the major reason why for every dollar of funding for programs and actions in support of the family there are about a thousand dollars of funding to sponsor programs and actions that aim at dismantling and systematically deconstructing the institution of the traditional nuclear family.

Given the lack of concern by politicians, a plethora of government agencies has a free hand to pursue its family-hostile aims.  Those aims — let there be no mistake about it — strongly lean toward the extreme radical left.  Their leanings are strongly Marxist.  Marxism has throughout its existence been strongly anti-family.  That is not too surprising, as the historical roots of Marxism (an age-old yearning toward Paradise on Earth, that is, a socialist Utopia) have always been strongly anti-family.  Socialism, especially in totalitarian socialist regimes throughout history aimed at best at strong state-control of the family and at worst at the total abolition of the family.

Igor Shafarevich, a world-renowned mathematician and a contemporary of Alexander Solzhenitsyn expressed those ideas best, in his book The Socialist Phenomenon.

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.

All of that is a lot of information you did not ask for.  However, I feel that the best service I can provide for you is to put your personal experiences regarding the futility of your attempts to enforce your paternal “rights” into the context of the history of the social evolution and the apparent current decline of civilization.

Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice

The book addresses a serious problem, the need for court reform and the abolishment of judicial and quasi-judicial immunity. Marinated with the makings of sizzle, the book is f illed with the courts’ tricks and traps for the unwary—to alert the readers both why their law cases failed and what must be done to effect court reform.  E ach chapter introduces the background of the subject of that chapter and then presents a series of illustrative anecdotes intended to teach the readers by example how to avoid those court tricks and traps people are likely to encounter in their existing or potential court cases.

Its author, Barbara C. Johnson, an unconventional 74-year-old, has long been a fierce advocate for fathers’ rights in family courts.  She is an outspoken critic of the Massachusetts court system, which she says is rife with corruption.

In 2002, she ran a quixotic campaign for governor, campaigning in an antique fire truck and promising to use creativity, compassion, and a willingness to listen to the People to mend an ailing government.

In 2006, Johnson was barred from practicing law in Massachusetts. “The disbarment by a kangaroo court was an effort to silence my criticism of the courts,” she said.

A newspaper wrote, “While we don’t fully agree with either her politics or her methods, Johnson is a character in a humdrum world sorely in need of more characters.  She’s the t horn in the side, the thumbtack on the chair. . . . Johnson speaks her mind, and loudly.”

Toddler’s hands dunked into boiling water

Woman burns toddler, gets house arrest

By TOM BRODBECK

WINNIPEG — An Ontario judge has handed down one of the most egregious sentences I’ve seen in a long time to a woman who forced a toddler’s hands into a pot of boiling water, causing fourth-degree burns.

For that, Superior Court Justice Helen MacLeod-Beliveau is the latest winner of the Eight-Ball Award, handed out in this column to highlight some of the worst perversions of justice in our [Canadian] court system….(Full Story)

Note by F4L: CNews got the date of the crime wrong in the article.  The crime against the little boy took place in 2007, not in 1997; but the following identifies an additional article about the case.

Mom seeking justice for child victims

Posted By Jeremy Ashley

At times, Damon Reddom Stone is a haunted four-year-old.

Sitting on his mother’s lap Monday, he ran his hands over her fingertips.

“He said, ‘Mommy, I wish I had normal hands like you,’” recalled Tina Reddom this week.

Every so often, she said, her youngster’s mind drifts back to the morning of Oct. 16, 2007 when a 24-year-old city woman — in a fit of supposed rage — forced his tiny hands into a pot of boiling water in the Applewood Drive apartment she shared with her then-boyfriend, Damon’s father.

Damon, who was two at the time, sustained serious burns and will require several surgeries, skin grafts and therapy to treat the wounds….(Full Story)

The economic down-turn and Canada

By Allan Chinnery

It is now official that Canada is in a depression as deep as any that it had been in before.  The Bank of Canada interest rate at 0.25% tells you that they are scared —-less and see no solution to the problem.  However there is a bigger problem.

The smart money, that of judges and lawyers was invested offshore because with Canadas judiciary it is not safe to keep it in Canada.  Such investments lost much of their equity when the banks started going down.  Most notable of interest to members of the Canadian Bar Association would have been UBS and the British banks.

Oh well, that is the nature of the investment game and it had a better chance of survivng there than being raided by Canada’s judges and tax department.  But it is high time Canada came up with a stimulus package for Canada’s divorce industry.

There are rumors floating around among the women of Canada that just stamping their pretty little feet does not add to the national product or in anyway raise the standard of living for Canadians.  What is worse, a few way-out-there females are actually saying it might be possible that Mr. Judge stomping his $400 dollar shoes and blustering about the power of his prison gangs will not produce wealth for anyone in Canada.

These terrible and seditious rumors have caused a serious slowdown in the divorce industry making it almost impossible for the afore-mentioned investors to recoup their losses.  It has been said that there are women in Canada that are working in and outside of the home, maintaining their credit ratings, being financially responsible.  I even heard of one who, for the good of her family, was driving a 5 year old car.

No wonder the auto industry is broken.  As you can see these untruths about how money is made are destroying the whole economy and are putting the judiciary’s credibility and powers into disrepute.

Stevie and the boys should immediately hold a secret meeting on how to infuse millions of dollars into the domestic violence sector to get these heretical ideas from the minds of Canadian women.  Failure to do this will undermine the power of judges blustering and foot stomping as well as perhaps resulting in calluses on the hands of members of the Law Society.

Such things will destroy the Canada that we have known for the last 20 years as it will fall backward in time to a place requiring effort not effect.

PLEASE HELP AN INNOCENT MAN

HELP IS NEEDED! [for a man and loving father who is a victim of an epidemic of rape hysteria in Ellsworth, Maine]

When you think it could not get any worse for a man and his children I assure you it can!

In the Bar Harbor area of Maine, a decent, loving, and dedicated father who decided to leave his 16 year relationship with his wife, and save their children from her mental insanity and physical abuse was charged and convicted on 2 counts of assault and 1 count of Gross Sexual Assault for allegedly splashing water in his wife’s face 3 years ago, for allegedly sexually assaulting his wife 2 years ago, and for allegedly pushing her on a chair 2 years ago.

There was NO evidence, NO investigation, and nothing more than an angry and coached wife’s testimony along with prosecutorial misconduct that resulted in a conviction.

During the trial no evidence or any mention was allowed of the wife’s history of false allegations against other men in her life, the use of restraining orders against the fathers of her children for custody, her psychiatric history, years of powerful medication use, the details of her outrageous and violent abuse of her partners and her children, or even the mention of her current divorce and custody battle with this man.

During the trial, the prosecutor violated this man’s basic Constitutional Rights when she told the jury that “there was no evidence that the sexual acts did not occur,” implying that a man was guilty unless he proved otherwise. Asst. DA prosecutor’s misconduct extended to making many inadmissible and prejudicial statements while stating statistics in her closing arguments in order to get a conviction and publicity regardless of the evidence, of the facts, or the truth in this case!

She even implied to the jury that no custody battle exists between the accuser and the accused.

During and after the trial, the defense attorney Motioned for Acquittal and a New Trial citing prosecutorial misconduct, inappropriate court rulings, and violations of this innocent man’s Constitutional Rights.

He [the man wrongly accused] is currently free on bail pending his sentencing in March 2009.

For the past 1 ½ years this innocent man has had custody of his two sons granted by the state of Maine while for almost 2 years his accuser has not been allowed contact with the children by Maine authorities.

If the conviction is not overturned and/or a new trial granted by March 5th, this innocent man could go to jail for 30 years while his two sons (12 and 3) will be taken by the State of Maine because their mother (the accuser) is considered a danger to them.

Please visit www.FillerFund.com for more details about this outrageous case, and PLEASE HELP!

Letters of support, donations, and legal help is DESPERATLY needed!

Christian couple ‘felt forced’ to give up grandchildren for adoption

Telegraph.co.uk
29 Jan 2009

A Christian couple who say they felt forced into giving up their grandchildren for adoption said they would never have done so if they had known they would be placed with a homosexual couple.

By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent

They wanted to bring up the five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister in their own home but said they were forced to give them up by social workers who had concerns about the couple’s age and their health.

They spent two years involved in court cases over the children, whose 26-year-old mother is a recovering heroin addict, and finally agreed to adoption when they were faced with mounting legal bills….(Full Story)

Spanish feminists use dirty tactics to take out opponents

URGENT: 3-2-2009, Judicial Political Case of Persecution of Spanish Man

By A. Javier M. M

Ever since the year 2001, many men and women in Spain have been fighting against the Gender Agenda. Not one of them got a penny for their efforts.

One of those men lives in the Spanish city of Burgos.

He knows a lot of laws on the procedure of civil courts, because for over 30 years until now (Year 2008,) he has been working in a financial company as legal adviser.

He has fought against feminist groups that kidnaps children from their homes and take them to feminist bunkers [women’s shelters], not only without anyone’s permission but without any supervision from any court.

This has been happening in Burgos, a city in Spain, since 2004 .

Not one judge has ever answered to inquiries on this issue that Mr. Jesus Ayala is fighting for.

Today, tomorrow or at any time any children from the city of Burgos city and area could become victims of feminist kidnappers.

The fathers of the kidnapped children not only are not being asked, but if they assert their paternal rights they are liable to become prosecuted by the courts.

Laws on privacy of information have been contributing and aggravating factors.

The feminists who infest Spanish politics routinely publish in newspapers the names and the addresses of men who are only alleged by women to have committed crimes, but have not yet been proven guilty after a trial in court.

Mr. Jesus Ayala has taken action on this, based on the Spanish agency for private information protection, and he managed to obtain a decision from that agency that found the feminists are guilty and need to be penalized .

Another issue pursued by Mr. Jesus Ayala led him to expose the practice by the European Union to channel money transfers to the Spanish government so that their friends in Spanish women’s associations will receive it instead. Furthermore, it was found that those women associations take women into care without court orders, and that, in doing, they prevent the establishment of a proper audit trail.

When such a woman has denounced a man (signed a criminal charge against a man for gender violence), the association reward her by giving her money.

As soon as the woman signs before the police criminal charges against the man for gender violence (since 2001, psychological and “structural” violence - for instance, not giving her enough money for “her needs” - are included in our penal-code), only with that, without trial in any court, the Women’s Association of Spain grants her the status of victim.  On the strength of that she is then included in economic programs, economic subsidies, preferences to have cheaper houses specific for women, preference (over other women) to get a job, etc..

Obviously, she is also included in the statistics on abused women, and so, the women associations have more ground to request next year more money from the European Union.

The feminists cannot take Mr. Jesus Ayala out of the game through clean and honest methods.

So, back in the year of 2005, in the city of Valladolid, Spain, a women that holds a high position in the Spanish, feminist-dominated and controlled government administration (Mrs Rosa Valdeon Santiago, then in charge of Family Politics in
the local government of Burgos and Valladolid) said in a newspaper (Diario de Burgos, 13-7-2005) that “they would prosecute” all those men of  affiliated with “any specific [men’s] association…”, “for their activities.”

What happens next?

On 3-2-2009, Mr. Jesus Ayala will have to attend a trial on the City of Valladolid, following an accusation against him, launched not by any familiar, but by a fiscal (very close to a national political party, Partido Popular, an agency that has the power to manage a lot of money from European Union for women’s campaigns and gives it to friends that are affiliated with “women’s associations”), to declare Mr. Jesus Ayala legally incapacitated.

This is not happening in the Soviet Union, in 1950. No, this is happening here and now, in Spain, in the City of Valladolid.

I urge you to contact (please, be polite ) not only the Court of Valladolid, but also your representatives.

Greetings,

F4L:
Canada experienced similar attempts at persecuting those men whom the feminists designated to be guilty of hate crimes against feminists.  It is a modern witch hunt.  As of now, those attempts have not gone very far (see Canada’s declaration of war against pro-family- and pro-male activists). However, one Canadian Fathers Right activist sued over that and lost, even though the judge handing down that decision agreed that the FR activist had a case.

Although Canada’s system of democracy is being subverted (to progress more and more towards a system of socialist totalitarianism), things have not yet progressed as severely as they did in Spain in such a short time. Perhaps that is a misperception, as the trend here, having begun in the 1960’s, with Pierre Elliot Trudeau, then Canada’s Prime Minister, imposing the active promotion of feminism as Canada’s state-religion, was much more gradual and may well have reached (at least with respect to the progress of the implementation of the agenda for the planned destruction of the family) similar proportions as it did in Spain within about a decade.

Spain experiences a feminist revolution and take-over.  Ours is a more gradual subversion by feminism, environmentalism and multiculturalism.  Ultimately both our countries, as do all developed nations, will suffer identical fates.

Look for instance at President Obama’s declaration of the need for pay equity for women.  Women’s lower earnings exist primarily because they work on average about 20 percent fewer hours at lower-paying jobs, a matter of personal choices. (See Pay equity for women doesn’t exist?)  In reality, to pay women less than men are being paid for equal work done is a crime, by law.  Why would one wish to promote laws to enforce laws, if nothing other than to appear to be catering to women and thereby to consolidate one’s political power?

Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Antonio Gramsci must be laughing and dancing in their graves.
