CWLA, Other National Groups Join Together to Oppose Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment

CWLA, Other National Groups Join Together to Oppose Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment
By seancwla | November 16, 2011 at 4:33 PM

Enactment of the Budget Control Act back in August ensured that both the House and Senate will vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) to the U.S. Constitution before the end of the year. Passage of a BBA would place strict limits on federal spending as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) each year, imperiling funding for critical federal programs serving vulnerable children and families. It puts a disproportionate amount of pressure on using the spending side of the ledger to balance budgets and reduce the deficit.

For these reasons, this week CWLA joined 276 other national groups in a letter to Congress opposing the BBA. The letter, addressed to House and Senate members, also cites a recent analysis by Macroeconomic Advisors suggesting that had a BBA been in place in fiscal year 2012, “the effect on the economy would be catastrophic.” As CWLA has repeatedly pointed out, the BBA is especially damaging during economic downturns because it would require spending cuts as the economy contracts, directly contradicting the economic concept of stimulus and prolonging any recession.

The House is currently scheduled to vote on the BBA on Friday. Because it is a constitutional amendment, 2/3 of those voting most vote in support in order for it to pass. Friday’s vote is expected to be close as Republicans will likely be joined by a significant number of Blue Dog Democrats in supporting the measure. Timing on a vote in the Senate, where passage seems much less likely, is unclear at this point.

Just in case you are confused, these people are primarily interested in continuing to pad their socialist pockets.  These COMMUNIST kidnapping sonsabitches can just go straight to hell.

"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited.

Tulsa federal judge rules against Oklahoma Department of Human Services

TULSA — A federal judge Tuesday found there is “significant proof” the state Department of Human Services failed to adequately monitor the safety of foster children in its care. FULL STORY

I left a nice long comment there-

**SIGH** It doesn't matter how many BILLION$ you fine these agencies, NOTHING EVER GETS BETTER.

There is NO "fixing it". This thing was a misconceived nightmare to begin with in 1974- and it has grown into a Frankenstein's monster. It has become the only thing it could ever have become.

No matter how brutal, coercive and terroristic the system gets,
No matter how much the agents lie, fabricate evidence, hide exculpatory evidence,
No matter how much impunity and immunity the system operatives have,
No matter how prejudicial and malfeasant it becomes- the unconstitutional courts of NO Due Process are STILL a miscarriage of justice. These are NOT judges. They are part of "The Prosecution Team".

There is NO "presumption of innocence", and there is practically no way to muster a vigorous defense when you are supposed to Prove a Negative- that nothing happened (or it didn't happen the way it is alleged).

The entire system is a lynch mob. Every case is handled pretty much with the same old defective formula. It is a Soap Opera and the same commercials run at the same time, in every case, every day.

The "Best Interest of the Child" is NOT whatever pops into a government employees head, fueled by HER feelings and prejudices.

An American child DOES have her Fourth Amendment Right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

The system as presently operating is nothing more than a Color of Law FRAUD, an Organized Crime Ring.

Until this entire tyrannical socialist mess is dismantled, you can expect nothing more than Billion$ of dollar$ going into a Black Hole in the Universe that destroys everything it touches.

Government programs are no substitute for THE FAMILY. The "Reasonable Efforts" and "Kinship Preference" laws were gutted out long ago.

We know what is WRONG. But all we get is denials, argument, and Alinsky character assassination for pointing out what is wrong.

Who wants to get honest about it? Who really wants to FIX the problem?

How about making child abuse a CRIME, instead of being a Civil offense? Arrest the perpetrator instead of kidnapping the child to hold as hostage.

Next item on Obama agenda: Live patients as organ donors

Doctors warning changes would erase crucial line
Posted: November 15, 2011 8:47 pm Eastern
By Bob Unruh © 2011 WND

Officials running a federal program that is considering redefining death are going to be seeking further public comment after members of the Christian Medical Association raised alarms about several problems, including what they believe would be an open door to pressure families to donate organs before their loved one has died.

The proposal could move the federal government closer into alignment with what has been proposed by longtime Barack Obama adviser Cass Sunstein.

Obama's "regulatory czar" was revealed in 2009 to have pushed strongly for the removal of organs from those who did not give their consent to becoming an organ donor.

It was reported that in his book, "Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness," Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler presented the possibility of the "routine removal" of organs because "the state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone's permission."  FULL STORY

Teen runs away from foster home, deputies say

Submitted by WBTV Web Staff
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011, 1:50pm

LINCOLNTON, NC – Lincoln County Sheriff’s detectives are looking for a 14 year old girl who ran away from a foster home in western Lincoln County on Saturday.

The foster parent told officers Kaitlyn M. Coronodo was in her bedroom around 6 a.m. but when she checked at 10 a.m. the bedroom window was open and the teen was missing.

Officials believe one of the girl’s biological parents lives in the Hickory area and that she may have left to go back to that area.

She is described as a Hispanic female, 5 feet-1 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. She has been entered NCIC as missing.

If you know about her whereabouts, call the Lincoln County Communications Center at 704-735-8202, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office at 704-732-9050 or Call 911.

The Pro Se Problem

( From our "How to Win" Step-by-Step Self-Help Course )

Click ... or Call Toll Free 866-LAW-EASY (866-529-3279)

Why Pro Se Litigants Have a Hard Time.

Many pro se people are winning.

Unfortunately, a great number who should be winning are losing ... needlessly!

Going to court without a lawyer is a growing phenomenon. Whether it's the high cost of legal fees or growing distrust of lawyers in general, the trend is for more people to fight without lawyers

The American Bar Association reports nearly 1/2 of all pro se folks believe lawyers care more about their own self-interest than their client's rights.

If you go by calls and emails Jurisdictionary receives, there's good reason for this! Lawyers who bail at the last minute. Lawyers who don't know what they're doing. And, worst of all, lawyers wishing to curry favor with judges, afraid to stand up to the buffalo in the black robe and demand their clients' rights by making timely objections and threatening appeal.

60% of pro se people say they can't afford a lawyer.

20% say they simply don't want to spend the money.

Nearly ½ of all court proceedings in the U.S. involve at least one pro se party ... and too many of them are losing all because they don't yet know the "rules of the game" or how to play to win!

Good people who should be winning are losing needlessly simply because they were never taught what it takes to win!

Ever ask yourself, "Why?"

Ever wonder if there might be a sinister reason nothing about law is taught to our children in schools supported by our tax dollars?

Who benefits from your legal ignorance?

You have a Constitutional right to justice.
You have a Constitutional right to go to court and win pro se!
Your rights were paid for by the blood of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for you!

BUT, THE KEYS TO JUSTICE HAVE BEEN HIDDEN FROM YOU - UNTIL NOW!

Pro se people too often do not get justice.
Why?

We at Jurisdictionary receive emails every day complaining there's a judicial "conspiracy" against pro se litigants.

Let's examine facts:

1. Most pro se people know nothing about the official Rules of Evidence that control the judge and all parties and their lawyers.
2. Most pro se people know nothing about the official Rules of Procedure that control the judge and all parties and their lawyers.
3. Most pro se people have no idea what "due process" really is.
4. Most pro se people can't recognize the opposing lawyer's dirty tricks.
5. Most pro se people assume what "admissible evidence" is and don't know what stuff isn't.
6. Most pro se people draft their pleadings and motions incorrectly - usually with far too many words!
7. Most pro se people don't know why it's vital to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
8. Most pro se people don't know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
9. Most pro se people don't understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence.
10. Most pro se people muddy the legal waters with court-confusing insignificance.
11. Most pro se people don't know how to find and cite controlling appellate opinions in support of their motions.
12. Most pro se people don't arrange in advance of every proceeding to have a court stenographer present, so they can control the judge.
13. Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have other problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases and hate pro se people.

BUT!

Pro se people who know what I explain so simply in my affordable, official, 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" self-help course winning consistently and getting compliments from judges and even opposing lawyers.

It's so easy to learn how to do things the right way!

If you and friends were playing a game of basketball, and some bystander wanted to play but didn't know the rules ... how would you feel when he or she kept fouling and arguing he or she has a right to do as he or she pleases because she doesn't know the rules?

Put yourself in the judges' robes!

Many years ago, after winning a motion, an older judge asked me to stay behind after the parties left. He took me aside and said simply: "I want you to know that the case before yours today was to protect a little girl who's grandfather thinks it's fun to extinguish cigars on her legs." I knew what he wanted me to know, and I never forgot. Other people's case are serious, too.

Pro se people who know what I explain in my affordable, official, 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" self-help course don't waste the court's time and get justice by knowing the rules and how to use them tactically to control the judge and opposing counsel.

SOCIAL SERVICE CRIMES: NEW INFORMATION FOR ACTIVISTS and VICTIMS

A QUESTIONABLE AND UNNECESSARY SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEM: NEW INFORMATION FOR ACTIVISTS and VICTIMS.

The subject of a questionable social service system or child protection service system, is a reality we can not ignore. We must always continue to expose, the system for what it represents, how it functions and what it's objectives are. Safeguarding our children and families from harm, through the knowledge that we share, is a primary objective for all concerned.

To all parents, individuals and activists standing up to this system, accolades on your tireless efforts and commitment in conveying psychopsema, among other knowledge tools created to inform and educate police, mna's. mp's, prosecutors, politicians, senators, congressmen and the courts.

Those knowledge tools and new information such as that contained in this article, define how social services uses questionable means to achieve profit, under the guise of protecting children. FULL STORY

Legal experts weigh in on cancer treatment battle

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - To say Jacob Stieler's been through a lot is an understatement of great proportions.

Diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of cancer last spring, the 10-year-old Marquette County boy went through three months of chemotherapy at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids.

It was a rough time.

"He was sick, he was nauseous, and he was extremely depressed," said Erin Steiler, Jacob's mother. "He told me numerous times that he wished he'd fall asleep and never wake up."

So when two bone scans revealed no signs of the cancers that had wrapped around his spinal cord, his parents made a decision to stop his treatments.

But that decision is sending his parents to court.

After officials at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital notified Child Protective Services of the Stieler's decision, the state launched an investigation.

The Stieler's now face a Medical Neglect charge, which is a charge usually reserved for more blatant cases.  FULL STORY

I left a nice comment there-

American Family Rights Association became deeply involved in a very similar case in 2003.

The complete history of the Parker Jensen case is at-
http://www.patriotsaints.com/MyChildMyChoice/cases/ParkerJensen

The Jensens wanted to take Parker to Texas for an alternative cancer treatment. Utah tried to seize custody to run him through their standard treatments for Ewing's Sarcoma.

I believe the Jensens DID take Parker to the alternative treatments in Texas.

Parker is alive and well today because the alternative treatments were much less destructive than the deadly poisonous standard treatments.

I just looked up Parker Jensen, and here's the latest news-

Parker Jensen’s parents lose cancer case rights battle
BY STEPHEN HUNT
The Salt Lake Tribune
First published Mar 29 2011 08:08PM Updated Apr 13, 2011 12:00AM

The Parker Jensen legal saga — which began in 2003 when the then-12-year-old boy’s parents refused chemotherapy for a diagnosed cancer — is finally over.

The Utah Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against Parker Jensen and his parents, Daren and Barbara Jensen, who sought to sue University of Utah doctors and state child-protection workers who tried to force them to accept medical treatment.

....Salt Lake City attorney Karra Porter, who represented the Jensens, said in a written statement Tuesday, “The Jensens wanted to tell their story to a jury, but it looks as though that is not going to happen.

“The Utah Supreme Court said that money damages are not available under the state constitution for what the state did to the Jensens. We hope the state does not take this as a green light to put others through the same thing. This may be something that our Legislature needs to look at.”

Porter also alluded to what many may believe is the bottom line in the case: Parker Jensen is alive and well, despite never having undergone chemotherapy.

Now 20 years old, Parker Jensen “is doing well” on his LDS Church mission in Chile, according to Porter, who added, “He will be back next January.” FULL STORY

Second Time Foster Child

It’s Book Promo Time
by Toni Hoy

Yes, it’s true, my book, “Second Time Foster Child” will be available for pre-order on Amazon within a couple of weeks.

Paperback copies will be in print within a couple of months.

About the book…

In a juvenile courtroom, the judge reprimanded the caseworkers, the attorneys, and CASA for responding to a no-fault dependency case as an abuse case, “There is nobody bad here!”

There were no criminals. There was no crime.

Then why were we sitting in the accused chairs?

As an infant, Daniel entered the foster care system as a result of severe neglect, which manifested in violence and aggression later in his childhood.

Desperate to get their adoptive son, Daniel, into a residential treatment center and keep their other children safe, the state of Illinois left Jim and Toni Hoy with two options. If they brought their son home from the psychiatric hospital for the 11th time in 2 years, the Department of Children and Family Services threatened to charge them with child endangerment for failure to protect their other children. Mental health professionals recommended abandoning him at the hospital after the state denied all viable sources of funding for his treatment. Making that choice would trigger a child abuse investigation and subsequent neglect charges.

Daniel re-entered the foster care system for no other reason than he was mentally ill.

A year later, Daniel’s mother discovered that his treatment was covered by a funding source that he was awarded as part of his special needs adoption. The EPSDT provision of Medicaid. How could they get the state government to understand the federal law and re-gain custody of their son?

Second Time Foster Child is the story of parents who never gave up on their son, despite being prosecuted and persecuted in exchange for his medically necessary treatment.

New Research Suggests Poor Outcomes for Crossover Youth

New Research Suggests Poor Outcomes for Crossover Youth
Posted on November 11, 2011 by YaMinco

A new study, “Young Adult Outcomes of Youth Exiting Dependent or Delinquent Care in Los Angeles County” found that crossover youth experience fairly poor outcomes after exiting care and face severe challenges in education, employment, health, mental health and earnings potential. The report, funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, defined crossover youth as youth who are involved in both foster care and juvenile justice systems. The study used records from thousands of youths who exited foster care from an out-of-home placement in 2002 and 2004, and juvenile records for any youths who exited probation from 2000 to 2006. There were a total of 596 youths who exited foster care in one of those years and also exited probation. On most measures of adult outcomes, they fared significantly worse than the youths who came into contact with one system.

While there is longstanding recognition that crossover youth fare worse than youth who only come into contact with one agency, the California study shows that in many cases, the crossover youths experience negative outcomes at twice the rate. In fact, crossover youths accounted for an average of $35,171 in public service utilization costs, such as being jailed or receiving welfare benefits, which is nearly three times the $12,532 average for other foster youth. Furthermore, eighty-two percent received some state benefits, including welfare, food stamps or Medicaid, compared with 68 percent of other youth exiting from foster care.

The research suggests that two major factors for the disparity were treatment for mental health disorders and further criminal activity. The study suggests that connecting more crossover youths to employment opportunities is another potential avenue for improvement. The study recommends targeting this population for ongoing intervention and outreach and as a result, the Hilton Foundation plans to use the findings of this study to craft a pilot program for working with crossover youth. The results of the study are also expected to inform implementation of the California Fostering Connections to Success Act (AB12) that extends foster care from 18 years to 21 years starting January 1, 2012. A follow-up study is underway to determine whether other factors can help predict which crossover youths will struggle and require high levels of public assistance.

Steele Sentenced to 50 Years in Murder-for-Hire Scheme

U.S. Attorney’s Office
November 09, 2011
District of Idaho
(208) 334-1211

COEUR D’ALENE—Edgar J. Steele, 65, of Sagle, Idaho, was sentenced in United States District Court today to 50 years in prison for using interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, use of explosive material to commit a federal felony, possession of a destructive device in relation to a crime of violence, and tampering with a victim, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced. Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Steele to serve three years of supervised release and pay a total of $2,836.91 in restitution to the State of Idaho Military Division, Quik Lube, and Cyndi Steele.

Yesterday in a written order the district court rejected Steele’s contentions that prosecutors or FBI agents engaged in misconduct by reviewing attorney-client communications or failing to disclose exculpatory evidence. The district court also rejected Steele’s contention that an FBI agent manipulated the recordings in which Steele made statements suggesting his own guilt. “Steele was given ample opportunity during the [pretrial] hearing and trial to test the authenticity of the recordings,” wrote the court. “And Steele does not present any additional evidence to persuade the court that another hearing on this issue is warranted.”

Following a seven-day trial, Steele was convicted on all counts on May 5, 2011. At trial, the jury heard audio tapes of Steele making statements to Larry Fairfax, the person he tried to hire, confirming his participation in the murder-for-hire plot. Fairfax testified at trial that he had worked as a handyman for Steele and his wife. He testified that Steele paid him approximately $10,000 in silver coins as a down payment to kill Steele’s wife and mother-in-law. Fairfax also testified that he had installed the pipe bomb on Mrs. Steele’s car in May 2010 at Edgar Steele’s direction. Fairfax pled guilty and was sentenced in May to 27 months in prison for possession of an unregistered firearm and manufacturing a firearm.

In a statement released today, U.S. Attorney Olson said, “[T]he long prison sentence imposed by the court . . . sends a necessary and strong message that trying to hire a person to commit murder, that use of a destructive device to achieve that end, is depraved and violent conduct that will be dealt with swiftly and severely by the criminal justice system. Through his conduct, including his attempts to influence a witness, Mr. Steele earned every month in prison to which the district court sentenced him.”

“Mr. Steele represents a clear danger to society and today’s sentence ensures he will no longer pose a threat to our community and its residents,” said Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Don Robinson, supervisor of the Coeur d’Alene office of the FBI and the North Idaho Violent Crime Task Force.

The Steele case was investigated by members of the North Idaho Violent Crime Task Force (NIVCTF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The NIVCTF’s members include the FBI, Idaho State Police, Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department, Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office, Bonner County Sheriff’s Office, Coeur d’Alene Police Department, Post Falls Police Department, and the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Police Department, and is tasked with investigating a myriad of violent crimes to include armed robbery, kidnapping, felonious assault, and drug trafficking.

Edgar Steele, the Attorney for the Damned.  He was the lawyer for several highly undesirable cases through the years, including Brian and Ruth Christine in Oregon 

I still tend to believe Edgar's version of this murder for hire plot.

Liberty Quotes

"By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." -- John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) British economist Source: "The Economic Consequences Of The Peace"

"If, however, a government refrains from regulations and allows matters to take their course, essential commodities soon attain a level of price out of the reach of all but the rich, the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent, and the fraud upon the public can be concealed no longer." -- John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) British economist Source: The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 240

"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." -- John Sherman Protege of the Rothschild banking family June 25, 1863 Source: in a letter sent to New York bankers, Morton, and Gould, in support of the then proposed National Banking Act

Is privatizing foster care bad for kids and costing you more money?

(WXYZ) - A grandma has been fighting the state to get her grandkids out of foster care for years. A great aunt has been trying to do the same for her niece. But both have been met with strong resistance—and it may be a matter of money.  FULL STORY and Video

I left a nice comment there-

The LAW about Kinship Preference started out really clear- Relatives were supposed to be the first placement choice for children CPS feels need to be out of their home.

I wrote an editorial on this subject 1- 1/2 years ago-
"Help! My grandchildren have been taken by cps"

We would like to know WHO gutted out the Kinship Placement law by moving a few words around. And we wonder why NOBODY CARES.

Nothing these agencies do is ethical, and what it is always about (as quoted above) is THE MONEY.

What needs to happen is to MAKE CHILD ABUSE A CRIME, so the jurisdiction falls under Criminal Court instead of the unconstitutional family courts of NO Due Process.

... Especially Your Own Who is Taking Your Money!

If you're like most people, you don't have a clue what it takes to win a lawsuit.

If you have a lawyer, you don't have a clue what your lawyer should be doing or how you might get involved in your case to reduce legal fees and costs.

If you don't have a lawyer, you go to court blindfolded, with one had tied behind your back!

If you hire a lawyer, you pay the lawyer, tell the lawyer about your problem, leave your problem with the lawyer, take your chances, and hope for the best!

There IS another way!

A nice lady contacted us for help. Her lawyer promised to file an appeal after the court ruled against her. The lawyer never filed! The deadline to file ran out. Her winnable case is lost forever!

A nice man paid his lawyer $60,000. No discovery was done. No evidence was uncovered. The case was lost. His $60,000 bought absolutely nothing!

Too often people hire lawyers who are afraid to stand up to arrogant judges, too timid to press opponents for evidence, unwilling to fight tooth-and-nail for rights the lawyer promised to protect, or simply bailing out at the last moment, leaving their clients to fight their legal battles alone.

Perhaps you know good people who suffered at the hands of their own lawyers. If so, we'd like to hear from you.

Send your stories to: lawbook@jurisdictionary.com

Legal malpractice is on the rise, yet most people have no idea how to stop it, whether it's a crooked lawyer on the other side or your own lawyer!

People who pay lawyers, instead of going pro se, frequently end up holding the bag when the lawyer they hire bails our or wimps out, so they lose and never know why!

Good people should never lose in our courts ... whether they can afford a lawyer or not!

But, the vast majority don't know where to turn to find out for themselves what it takes to win ... whether they go pro se without a lawyer or dig into their life's savings to pay someone to represent them.

And, far too many good people rely on stupid ideas offered by amateurs who send out emails or hold weekend seminars.

Not wise!

Jurisdictionary was created by a lawyer with more than a quarter-century of case-winning experience controlling judges and lawyers with nothing more than a common-sense knowledge of the Rules of Court and how to use them!

Without the easy-to-learn Jurisdictionary lawsuit self-help course, you're at the mercy of the lawyer on the other side, you're at the mercy of the judge and, if you have a lawyer, you're at the mercy of your very own lawyer!

Without Jurisdictionary knowledge, you needlessly risk losing!

Liberty Quotes

"Is there any reason why the American people should be taxed to guarantee the debts of banks, any more than they should be taxed to guarantee the debts of other institutions, including merchants, the industries, and the mills of the country?" -- Carter Glass (1858-1946) Newspaper publisher, US Senator (D-VA), author of the Banking Act of 1933, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under President Woodrow Wilson.

"A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks." -- John C.

"Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are US government institutions. They are not... they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the US for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will." -- Louis McFadden (1876-1936) US Congressman (R-PA) (1915-1935), Chairman of House Banking and Currency Committee. Poisoned in 1936. Source: June 10, 1932

American Minute

November 10

"Doctor Livingstone, I presume," was the greeting NOVEMBER 10, 1871, by New York Herald newspaper reporter Henry Stanley as he met David Livingstone on the banks of Africa's Lake Tanganyika.

Livingstone, an internationally renowned missionary who had discovered the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls, and searched for the source of the Nile, had not been heard from in years and was rumored to have died.

Stanley, a skeptic, set out to find him and write a story.

He described Dr. Livingstone as:

"A man who is manifestly sustained as well as guided by influences from Heaven...

The...enthusiasm...of his life comes, beyond question, from Christ.

There must, therefore, be a Christ."

David Livingstone's letters, books, and journals had stirred up a public outcry for the abolition of slavery.

In his journals, David Livingstone recorded an incident:

"We passed a slave woman shot or stabbed through the body and lying on the path. Onlookers said an Arab who passed early that morning had done it in anger at losing the price he had given for her, because she was unable to walk any longer."

In a letter to the editor of the New York Herald, David Livingstone wrote:

"And if my disclosures regarding the terrible Ujijian slavery should lead to the suppression of the East Coast slave trade, I shall regard that as a greater matter by far than the discovery of all the Nile sources together."

Livingstone was so loved by Africans that when he was found dead in 1873, kneeling beside his bed near Lake Bangweulu after suffering from malaria, his followers buried his heart in Africa before sending his body, packed in salt, back to England to be buried in Westminster Abbey.

In his journal, David Livingstone wrote:

"I place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of Christ. If anything will advance the interests of the kingdom, it shall be given away or kept, only as by giving or keeping it I shall promote the glory of Him to whom I owe all my hopes in time and eternity."

In his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa, 1857, Dr. David Livingstone reflected on his motivation:

"The perfect fullness with which the pardon of all our guilt is offered in God's Book, drew forth feelings of affectionate love to Him who bought us with His blood...

A sense of deep obligation to Him for His mercy has influenced...my conduct ever since."

Candidate Vows to "Withdraw the Signature of the United States" from the CRC, Endorses Parental Rights Amendment On Monday presidential hopeful Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-MN) in an address to the conservative Family Research Council made very clear her support of parental rights and her opposition to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). “[The CRC] threatens the most basic unit of government that [we] attempt to defend – the family. As president, I will withdraw the signature of the United States from this treaty and every other unratified UN treaty of this type,” Bachman said. She also added very succinctly, “I was an early co-sponsor of the Parental Rights Amendment and I will assure passage of this as president.” Like you, we want parental rights to be part of the political discussion going into the 2012 elections, and we get excited whenever a candidate brings it up. So where are the other candidates in this discussion? We’d like your help to ask them that. Action Items 1. Please take a moment to email each of the candidates below and ask them where they stand. Tell them you have heard Michelle Bachman’s position, that she supports the Parental Rights Amendment and also supports withdrawing the U.S. signature from the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In Landmark Case, Judge Rules Prozac Was To Blame for Murder

Subject:     In Landmark Case, Judge Rules Prozac Was To Blame for Murder

FYI

A Canadian judge ruled that Prozac was the cause that led a teenage high school student-- with no prior history of violence--to inexplicably murder his friend by stabbing him with a single wound to the chest.

Judge Robert Heinrichs sentenced the boy a three-year sentence, less time already served--which means he will serve 10 months remaining in jail. Additionally he is required to be under community supervision for four years.

The judge based his determination largely on the compelling expert testimony by US psychiatrist, Peter Breggin, MD who submitted scientific evidence showing the risk of drug-induced violence posed by antidepressants such as Prozac.

According to court documents,  "The boy had been taking Prozac for three months, during which time his behavior deteriorated. He became impulsive and unpredictable, and suicidal. He also began to talk at times as if fantasizing about violence. He seemed to become a different person to his distraught parents."

The judge was also persuaded by the fact that when Prozac was withdrawn from the boy, his behavior returned to normal. "His basic normalcy now further confirms he no longer poses a risk of violence to anyone and that his mental deterioration and resulting violence would not have taken place without exposure to Prozac." 

Dr. Breggin testified that his primary care physician and his parents alerted the prescribing psychiatric clinic to the boy's deteriorating condition, but the clinic continued the Prozac and then doubled it. Seventeen days after the increase in dosage, the teen committed the violence." Dr. Breggin further testified that "the teen's use of Prozac likely meant he wasn't in full control of his actions."

The court heard how the boy changed from a loving, happy-go-lucky kid to a dark, depressed drug abuser. In sentencing the boy Judge Heinrichs noted that the boy "began to act out violently and even tried to harm himself on several occasions....it's clear the boy's parents did the right thing in taking their concerns to his various doctors, but they were largely ignored."

At sentencing, last Friday, Judge Heinrichs said: "(Prozac) clearly affected his behaviour in an alarming way. He was simply not the same person."

This is the first criminal case in North America where a judge has specifically found that an antidepressant was the cause of a murder.

Dr. Breggin noted that: "This is a landmark legal confirmation of the scientific fact that the newer antidepressants like Prozac, including the SSRI and SNRI antidepressants, can cause violence and even murder."
