Epitaph for a charter member of the Equal Justice Foundation
September 10, 2008 by Walter Schneider.
By Charles E. Correy, Ph.D.
It was with great sorrow that I learned of the death of charter member Steven Bandusky on August 27, 2008, from liver and kidney failure. When we first heard from Steve on August 10, 2000, he was a successful engineer with Boeing in Mesa, Arizona.
He had built what his boys called the “big house” for his family, wife, her two daughters, and two boys of his and his wife. With about 5000 square feet and a full basement, it truly was a big house. The boys loved to play in it. Unfortunately about a year after they moved in, things started to get a bit stressed with his wife Sylvia. Maybe it was the money, which was thin then, or maybe they grew a bit distant because of his schedule at work and trying to make ends meet.
At approximately 11:30 PM, on Monday, January 31, 2000, Steve was awoken by the sound of someone knocking on his bedroom door. It turned out to be two City of Mesa police officers informing him that he was being forced from his residence under an ex parte domestic relations restraining order.
All that he could think was that he had been woken up by the Gestapo in Germany. In utter disbelief he asked to see the court order. Yes, there it was in black and white, an order stating that he had committed an act of domestic violence against his spouse, his two stepdaughters, and two young sons pictured below.

After trying to convince the officers that this was total nonsense, he asked them if they saw any evidence of domestic violence against his family members. They said no, but reiterated that they had no choice in the matter but to follow the letter of the court order. One of the officers even mentioned that the action he was ordered to take against Steve was wrong, yet he still had to act on the direction of the court order. So after packing an overnight bag, Steve said goodbye to the house he had just built for his family. He then found himself driving around Mesa at midnight looking for a place to stay. Eventually he went to work instead.
It turned out that Steve’s wife had gone to his mother and borrowed $100 that Monday and used the money to go to court and file the ex parte restraining order against him.
With the house being just a year-old, Steve was still doing landscaping. When hit with the restraining order there were dangerous open trenches. Being an engineer, Steve was concerned about the danger to pedestrians and others if the trenches were left open. Thinking the legal system was just, he obtained a modification of the restraining order to return to the house and fill in the trenches. The modification expired at 5 PM but Steve was still working away at 5:30 trying to finish up. His wife then called the police and had him arrested for violating the terms of the order.
As usual, Steve was convicted of domestic violence for violating the restraining order in the kangaroo county court after some dispute between the City of Mesa and Maricopa County as to who got to put the noose around his neck for trying to be a good citizen. He vainly attempted to get a jury trial for the criminal charge but was denied.
Incidentally, a November 20, 2000, letter to Arizona Senator John McCain about his situation went unanswered. And Steve’s pro se appeal through the state courts was denied and certiorari was denied by the US Supreme Court.
Of course with the conviction for violating a restraining order he was denied custody of his two boys although he did have two weekends a month visitation.
Real domestic violence
Meanwhile his wife’s new boyfriend had moved into the house with the stepdaughters and the two boys. Within a year she had a new baby by him to add to the “family.” As often happens with women looking for a little “excitement” in their lives they take up with an abusive male. Apparently Sylvia still couldn’t keep her knees together, or something else set off the resident boyfriend.
On April 27, 2002, Steve visited the marital residence to discuss the re-positioning of some trees in the front yard that she had planted directly over the septic system. When he arrived approximately 10-12 police vehicles/officers/detectives were parked in front of the house.
Steve quickly got out of his car to find out what was going on. He approached one of the detectives and was told there had been a shooting. After just about passing out from fear that his sons had been injured he was told they were safe with a neighbor down the street.
Apparently Sylvia, Steve’s now ex-wife, was shot in the back of the head with a 12-gauge shotgun by her resident boyfriend while the children were in another room. Fortunately for Steve the police had the perpetrator in custody. So he was not considered a suspect, as would usually have been the case.
After finding out from the detective that the boys were safe and sound with some neighbors, Steve informed the police that he was going to go get them. They informed him that he couldn’t due to the fact that he did not have sole custody and couldn’t take them without a court order. They also informed him that this was a criminal investigation and that they wanted to question the boys, who were in the house at the time of the shooting.
At the time Steve still naively believed he had rights as a father and made the mistake of getting mad at the police, never a good thing to do, especially when they are conducting a murder investigation. The police then ran a check on Steve and found he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. He hadn’t attended the DV treatment courses after being convicted of violating a restraining order when he attempted to finish the landscaping project. So Steve got arrested and taken to jail once again.
After posting bond he went back to get the boys only to find the police had taken them into custody for questioning.
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Steve was lucky in that, after an investigation, child “protective” services gave him custody of his two boys after his wife was murdered. My understanding is that the new baby went with its maternal grandparents. I don’t know what happened with the stepdaughters. Perhaps they went back with their father but Steve did keep in touch with them.
As with everyone who goes through these injustices and traumatic events, Steve developed PTSD, severe in his case. The stress caused him to perform poorly at work and he went on medical leave until he used that all up. Eventually, though, he lost his job with Boeing and remained unemployed as he was emotionally unable to concentrate.
After cleaning his wife’s brains and blood off the wall he managed to sell the “big house” and the boys certainly didn’t want to go back there. That gave him money to live on but, like many, he self-medicated the PTSD with alcohol. More alcohol was required as time went on and eventually his kidneys and liver failed.
Restraining orders kill
Through all the many emails from Steve he was trying to fix the problem, fight the issues and injustices in the courts, and care for his boys. There was never any violence in his marriage, only some arguments about money, and probably some estrangement due to his working too hard to try and pay for a new home and support a wife and four kids. For this, which we should admire, his life and family were destroyed.
If Sylvia had not taken out the restraining order there is a very good chance she would be alive today. And we can be reasonably certain Steve would not have crawled into a bottle to compensate for the incomprehensible injustices done him and his children.
Before he died Steve did arrange with the older of the stepdaughters to care for his now orphaned sons. We can only hope the resilience of youth allows these now young men to go on to normal lives despite the tragedies their parents endured at the hands of a society and justice system gone mad.
May he finally rest in peace
While Steve lived I asked him many times to write his story so that others would know what was being done to him. After buying flowers for the grave of the boy’s mother on March 15, 2004, he wrote me the following message:
“People have been after me for a few years now to write this story. I don’t know why it has taken so long to complete. I have started many times, but I am still in utter disbelief as to what has happened. I always seemed unable to finish. Maybe it was the pain, maybe the horror or probably just the absolute incredulity of the way our government “protects” us.
The flowers were for the mother of my two young sons that we recently placed on her grave on what would have been her 39th birthday. This was the first time that I’ve taken them to view the gravesite of their mother. It was the first time that I thought that they were ready to be reminded of the horror of what had happened a few years ago in the “big house,” as they fondly called it. I found it a bit ironic as I watched the tears form in their eyes, to notice that just a mile away on the horizon, stood the hospital that Johnny and Robbie were born in, some 6 and 8 years ago. They were just 3 and 5 when the nightmare began.”
Go with God, Steve, for you the nightmare is finally over. I hope my few futile words provide some evidence of the horrors inflicted on you. Know that as long as I draw breath I’ll continue fighting these injustices in your name.
Your friend,
Chuck

Father killed in crash with ’suicidal’ man
August 12, 2008 by Walter Schneider.
Gave away last $5 and informed police of plan
Lora Grindlay, Canwest News Service Published: Tuesday, August 12, 2008
VANCOUVER - On Sunday afternoon, Gerald Guliker packed up a few things and prepared to end his life.
He drove to various family members’ houses to say goodbye, then phoned the RCMP to tell them of his plans to drive his minivan to Hope, B.C., and kill himself.
Long before the day was over, the 44-year-old man from Chilliwack, B.C., was dead.
So was a 40-year-old Chilliwack man, who had been out for a drive with his family and three-year-old daughter, when Mr. Guliker’s van hit them in a violent head-on crash….(Full Story)

The Government, Divorce, and the War on Fatherhood
by Todd M. Aglialoro
7/31/08
Display Full Article/Printer Friendly | Send to a Friend
The article is an outstanding review of Stephen Baskerville’s book Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage and the Family.
This is what Stephen Baskerville says about it:
This review has just been published today as the cover story in InsideCatholic.com, a prestigious and influential online magazine that is the successor to the print magazine Crisis.
This review is not only highly favorable, it is also amazingly perceptive. Note the last line, where he calls this “a critical civil rights struggle; perhaps the most critical of all.” This guy gets it (and he should be recognized).
The full review is here. You can also leave comments, send a letter, etc.
In your comments — and in circulating this review to influential people (for which it is eminently suitable) — I might suggest you emphasize that Mr. Aglialoro is not exaggerating (and of course neither am I).
Stephen
Read the review and send a copy of it to your legislators and representatives!
Keep in mind that although the main focus of Taken Into Custody is on the USA, the book and also Todd Aglialoro’s review make it crystal clear that the governments’ war against fathers, marriage and the family prevails to identical extents in all developed nations. In essence both, the book and the review, illustrate and discuss the implementation of the international agenda for the planned destruction of the family.

Feminist hijackers
July 21, 2008 by Walter Schneider.
By Gerard Levesque
I just came across a fascinating article published, a little while ago, in a newspaper from my (almost) hometown: the Ottawa Citizen: “We can’t help the victims of violence if hatemongers hijack the agenda.” (Published: Sunday, May 25, 2008)
The author, Janice Kennedy, informs her readers that an American study, from the Group Health Center for Health Studies, dealing with the “discomforting issue of domestic violence”, is, get this, “breaking new grounds”.
There would be a bizarre thing, “a strikingly less familiar notion” are the words she uses, such as men … “VICTIM” of domestic violence.
Hold the presses!
LIFE DISCOVERED ON PLANET VENUS!
(life of intellectual kind)
Ms Kennedy must inhabit a parallel universe. The wonderful world of left-wing “progressive” journalism, perhaps? The Canadian feminized media? The Venusian feminist society?
Meanwhile, back in the real world, we have known, in a science based way, for at least THIRTY years now that men are victim of Domestic Violence at the hands of their womenfolk. Even worse, they are MORE victimized than their women.
In practical life, we have “always” known that women beat their men. The angry wife wielding a rolling pin as a weapon to keep her husband in line is a perennial icon of the “battle so the sexes”. In the Middle Ages, a man who let himself ruled by his wife ran the risk of being paraded in the street, riding backwards on an ass, as an object of public ridicule.
In a feminist state, such as Canada, the relentless propaganda instructs people to deny their own common sense. “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.” (George Orwell)
As regards science, according to Murray Strauss, the “primus inter pares” of the authorities on DV in the world,
By 1980 there were already at least ten high quality studies which found that women physically assault their partners at about the same rate as men attack female partners.
By 1995, there were about a hundred such studies. As of this writing, the evidence is even more overwhelming.
There are about 200 studies documenting equal rates of Partner Violence perpetration (Fiebert, 2004).
In fact, it is Suzanne Steinmetz who first suggested that women were as equally violent as men in “The battered husband syndrome”. She published it in 1977: THIRTY ONE years ago.
According to Fiebert’s meta-analysis of DV studies:
This bibliography examines 219 scholarly investigations: 170 empirical studies and 49 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 221,300
Strauss, along with Suzanne Steinmentz and Richard Gelles had, in 1980, already informed anybody willing to listen in their “Behind Closed Doors”:
There are as many, and possible more, couples where the female partner is the only one to use physical violence as there are couples where the male partner is the only one to use violence.
Women initiate acts of intimate violence as often as men.
In fact, as Straus readily admits, there is evidence than women initiate MORE than half of the domestic violence:
The meta-analysis by Archer (Archer, 2000) found a pattern of equal or higher rates by women in studies conducted in several national and cultural settings.
Or in the words of J. Archer:
Meta-analyses of sex differences in physical aggression to heterosexual partners and in its physical consequences are reported. Women were slightly more likely (d = -.05) than men to use one or more act of physical aggression and to use such acts more frequently.
The evidence has been so overwhelming that even the feminist researchers at Statistics Canada cannot block the publication of the evidence anymore:
One–year rates of spousal violence from the 1999 General Social Survey indicate that an estimated 220,000 women (3%) and about 177,000 men (2%) with a current spouse or ex-spouse had been the victim of some form of spousal violence in the past twelve months. Men and women are exposed to this risk in almost the same proportions.
That men are victimized by their women folk has, for decades, become so clear, that some honest feminists (there are a few), noticed.
Cathy Young (a Canadian, by the way) tells us, in “Ceasefire” (1999) that
The 1975 National Family Violence Survey, concluded that by both men’s and women’s report, women hit their mates as often as did men. Half the violence was reciprocal … Similar surveys in 1985 and 1992 … found just as many men assaulted by wives and girlfriends.
Confronted with these figures, women’s advocates typically cry “backlash”.
Here is another honest feminist, Patricia Pearson (also a Canadian?) in “When she was bad”, a book published, IN Canada, in 1997:
… research began to reveal that violence in the home actually claimed victims of both sexes. The most significant data came from a survey published in 1980 by three highly respected family violence scholars in New Hampshire, Murray Strauss, Richard Gelles and Suzanne Steinmentz.
… violence was also on a par, with 11.6% of women and 12% of men reporting that they hit, slapped or kicked their partners.
At this point, people working on the subject of family violence had a choice. They could expand the field to include male victims … or they could do what they did: devote an extraordinary amount of energy to shouting male victims down.
SHOUTING down the male victims is what Ms Kennedy is, hypocritically, doing.
Because it has become impossible to deny that women beat men, Ms Kennedy sheds a few crocodile tears on the male victims of female DV. Nevertheless, she stills attempts to minimize the extent of DV against men: women, she claims, would still be MORE victim than men:
“figures (would not be) on the same scale as the ones that tell us about female victims of domestic violence — in cases of spousal homicide, for example, women are victims 84 per cent of the time”
Ms Kennedy attempts to occupy the moral high grounds: these numbers’ games would be “beside the point” as we are supposed to be living in a “civilization where all violence is unacceptable”. “This should not be about comparative figures. Nor should it be about gender gamesmanship.”
Of course not … now that the feminists are starting to lose the game … let’s move the goalpost.
The reader will notice than Ms Kennedy does NOT call for the equal repression or punishment of DV. She knows full well that women are the “favourites of the law” and are literally “getting away with murder”: angry young men’s rightists call this, rather crudely but adequately, the “p—-y pass”.
Ms Kennedy then launches onto her real objective: vilifying the men who have been, for at least two decades now, snapping at the heels of the feminist Leviathan. Such men, she claims, will be “manipulating” the report (the American one she has “just” discovered)
These men, the usual suspects, would be (shudder) vile misogynistic … “hate mongers”.
… that male subspecies — a minority, but a noisy one — that preaches hatred from some deep inner anger that fuels a messianic misogyny.
One would think that Ms Kennedy only interacts with another kind of male sub-species: the neutered Canadian male journalist. Among the “many public purveyors of misogyny”, she says, there would be “one colourfully venomous Canadian example (that) sums them up. Kirby Inwood (who) operates a website ostensibly offering a lawyer-referral service”.
Well thank you Ms Kennedy for letting me, and the rest of us, discover a fellow MRA. That is the ONE useful thing you have done for men. Mr. Inwood’s site can (I think) be found here: http://www.canlaw.com/
Ms Kennedy continues: Inwood, the “hatemonger”, would have observed that he “…consistently found women lawyers to generally be the scum of the earth”.
Let me see.
Most female lawyers are feminists making a “killing” in the corrupt Divorce Industry. In his latest book “Taken Into Custody”, Stephen Baskerville describes
“… its destruction of families, its violations of the Constitution, its disregard for due process of law, its voracious appetite for children, parents, and families. This … a thoroughly documented study of the most repressive government machine ever created in …” (western societies).
Baskerville tells us that the corrupt Divorce Industry has become a
“… a multibillion-dollar industry … (composed of) … judges, lawyers, psychotherapists, mediators, counselors, social workers, and bureaucratic police. All these people have a professional and financial stake in divorce. In fact… public officials at all levels of government—including elected leaders in both parties—now have a vested interest in increasing the number of single-parent homes.”
The Divorce Industry’s view of men is, well … feminist:
“Your job is not to become concerned about the constitutional rights of the man that you’re violating as you grant a restraining order,” New Jersey Judge Richard Russell told his colleagues at a training seminar in 1994. “Throw him out on the street, give him the clothes on his back and tell him, see ya around…. We don’t have to worry about the rights.”
Most female lawyers are feminists, a misandrist ideology based on the hatred of men. The feminist view of men has been codified decades ago:
The male is completely egocentric, trapped inside himself, incapable of empathizing or identifying with others, or love, friendship, affection of tenderness. He is a completely isolated unit, incapable of rapport with anyone. His responses are entirely visceral, not cerebral; his intelligence is a mere tool in the services of his drives and needs; he is incapable of mental passion, mental interaction; he can’t relate to anything other than his own physical sensations. He is a half-dead, unresponsive lump, incapable of giving or receiving pleasure or happiness; consequently, he is at best an utter bore, an inoffensive blob, since only those capable of absorption in others can be charming. He is trapped in a twilight zone halfway between humans and apes, and is far worse off than the apes because, unlike the apes, he is capable of a large array of negative feelings — hate, jealousy, contempt, disgust, guilt, shame, doubt — and moreover, he is aware of what he is and what he isn’t.
The above is from the SCUM Manifesto which has been for decades a basic “reading in colleges and universities for women’s studies courses.”
Thus, that Inwood has found that feminist lawyers are SCUM should surprise no one. Neither am surprised to read that Inwood “has long been a favourite target of Militant Feminists who work very hard to suppress him and his views”.
This is dear reader, what Ms Kennedy is shamelessly attempting to do by shouting “hatemonger”. She is attempting to supress and censure and, more importantly, scare away her readers by claiming that “Inwood was convicted nearly 20 years ago of assault on his wife and infant son.”
Really? That may be true, or untrue, but…
Ms Kennedy is a nimble feminist demagogue. She knows that fear works. Indeed the whole feminist ideology is based on creating fear. She also knows that false accusations of assault are THE prime weapon women use when they want to rid themselves of their husband AND keep his money. This is the first advice they get from their feminist lawyers.
Their lies and perjuries are then accepted by the corrupt legal system. Ms Kennedy has, no doubt, turned a blind eye to the endless stories of men, exonerated by DNA analysis, only now being released, after spending decades behind bars. They were condemned and jailed solely on the basis of false accusations of rape by a WOMAN. Nothing is happening to the lying and perjuring females who put them in jail, and destroyed their lives.
NO THING! See “p—y pass”, above.
Ms Kennedy tells us that “ordinary people of good will, men and women alike” (she means those of her readers still hoodwinked by feminism) will “
“… just dread how the Kirby Inwoods of the world, the “men’s rights” activists, are going to gobble it up and spit it out again in a malignancy of poisonous deceit. They know how the researchers’ findings and recommendations will be drowned out by a cacophony of cries about how this proves bad things happen to men at the hands of Militant Feminists, who conspire in covens to spread their misandry.”
Poisonous deceit, he? Well Ms Kennedy engages in some of her own.
She tells her reader that the “respectable study that should open new eyes to a serious issue, one that has not been discussed nearly enough. “
Ms Kennedy seems to be “truth challenged”!
Feminists have shouted down this topic for decades. It has just, recently, become too obvious for them to deny it.
She also says that
“As a society, we can look at the nature of violence within homes and start addressing some of its broader causes. We can speak up for the principle of equality before the law (which, yup, even Militant Feminists cherish), insisting on zero-tolerance around domestic violence, no matter who the perpetrator.”
Ms Kennedy seems to be suffering from a “veracity handicap”.
She is NOT demanding a stop to the “arrest the man” policies, punishment for female perjuries and equality in punishment of women guilty of DV.
Ms Kennedy then sheds a few more crocodile tears on male victims of DV:
“… cultural norms … have… added an extra layer of shame and difficulty to male victimhood. … (with) increased awareness, we can introduce increased supports — counselling, programs, avenues of escape — for men caught in what has to be a version of hell.”
But she then goes for her real objective: DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH OUR BOOTY!
The new programs should NOT
“happen at the expense of the well-developed awareness and programs that already respond, albeit inadequately, to the tragedy of domestic violence against women. It should happen alongside them.”
Of course. Money will come out of thin air … like it did for the feminists.
Better still, let’s tax the males some more; they only pay 70-80% of the taxes. God, what I am saying, this is ALREADY a feminist proposal.
All the feminist programs finance the lives of the multitudes of feminists who toil (sic) in “women’s shelters” and other parasitic women’s groups, which have covered the West like a plague of locusts for the last three decades.
Ms Kennedy does not want the “latest thoughtful exploration of domestic violence as a piece of gender politics.”
Of course not.
When men were portrayed as the only culprit, there was no problem of describing this as gender politics. Now that women find it difficult to lie their way out of DV, Ms Kennedy wants to move the goalpost.
Of course! Of course!
Ms Kennedy tells her readers that if we don’t do as she says, we “will have missed its point entirely”. It will “become a marginalized rallying cry for rancorous misogynists.” Thus we will “have failed those in the shadows who are finally asking for help.”
Wow!
What Ms Kennedy really wants is for men demanding that their rights be respected, those she deems “hatemongers” and “misogynists”, to stay marginalized, to stay in the shadow, to stay quiet, to remain deferential to their feminist rulers. She wants men to be content, and grateful, for the crumbs that, perhaps, may fall off from the public-financed table where the feminists have been feasting all those years.
Fat chance of these happening!

The silent epidemic of male suicide
February 5, 2008 by Walter Schneider.
For the first time in many years, in almost a decade in fact, here is an article that identifies male suicide in the U.K. as a problem that is being ignored and needs to be solved: The silent epidemic of male suicide, By Dan Bell, Feb. 4, 2008, BBC News.
Incongruously, the article was published at the BBC website, while the BBC is one of the major promoters of “news” and other male-bashing items that contributed over the years to the escalating epidemic of male suicides.
However, one swallow doesn’t make for spring, and one pro-male article about male suicide trends will not end the escalating epidemic of male suicide. Here is additional information that can help end the male-suicide epidemic in the U.K. and in the whole world.
