McBride [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Chad W. McBride [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBirch] PBS to Air Biased Domestic Violence and Child Custody Film The letter below was written by father's rights activist Teri Stoddard in response to PBS' intended showing of a biased film on domestic violence and child custody. There are many other great articles to read at her blog below. http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/13/051045.php The following is my letter to Pat Mitchell, President of PBS, regarding the planned showing of a film on domestic violence and child custody. Dear Pat, I was shocked, then disappointed to hear, My dad doesn't love me, right at the beginning of the promo for Breaking The Silence, the Children's Stories. You say Breaking The Silence, the Children's Stories is about Domestic Violence. That includes child abuse. Since mothers commit most child abuse, are any of the stories about mothers? Many cases of domestic violence involve co-combatants, but men are prosecuted far more than women. I fear every case you expose in this film will be of a man who abuses his wife and kids. I wonder, do you even mention female abusers? It is not right to air this film without telling the whole story. PBS meant HONESTY to me. It has always meant TRUTH. Guess what, not anymore. This film is likely political propaganda to counter the swelling family rights movement that is championing the cause of joint custody. Research has shown that co-parenting is good for children, 85% of the population supports equal shared parenting, and those who are in power now don't want to give it up. What better way to protect their place than to put fear in the hearts of voters? Representatives of N.O.W. and the domestic violence industry used false statistics when they testified against AB 1307 in Sacramento recently. It worked that day, why not keep misleading people? As far as PAS, I don't care what you call it, the truth is many noncustodial parents, usually fathers but sometimes mothers, are alienated by the custodial parent and the family court system. I'm sure everyone reading this knows of someone this has happened to. Come to think of it, maybe they don't realize how common it is. Men don't usually speak of heartache. THIS is the world's dirty little secret. Even if this film was made with the best of intentions, it still shouldn't be shown. You owe it to your viewers to tell the WHOLE truth.

Comment 1 posted by T A Dodger on October 13, 2005 10:36 AM: Teri, My comments are more directed at the fatehrs' rights movement in general than to your comment in particular. First, I support 100% a presumption for joint custody, and I am always pleased to see fathers wanting to take responsability for their children. That said, while I genrally support the things that the Fathers' rights movement wants, I am deeply offended by its tendancy to minimize violence against women and to blame women for the breakdown of families. Feminists and fathers who want custody should be on the same side. We both want to break down the traditional gender role stereotype that says fathers are bread winners only and women are the naturally nurturing ones that should care for the children. But you're not going to win over feminists by blaming women or suggesting that we're overblowing domestic violence committed against women. I'm sorry, but men ARE more likely to abandon their children than women. Men DO abuse women more than women abuse men. In fact, if a woman is murdered, her killer is more likely to be her domestic partner than any other person. These things weren't invented by feminsits to make men feel bad, and they should be taken very seriously. Comment 2 posted by Gaurav on October 13, 2005 12:28 PM: This is an impassioned article but filled with factual inaccuracies. I would say that your purpose would be better served by remaining true to facts. Here's a sample - Contrary to common belief, males and females

Tucker Jr. http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/confessions_of_a_globalist.html http://prisonplanet.com/articles/october2005/131005confessions.htm More and more European news outlets are bucking the ban on exposing the shadowy globalist group known as Bilderberg and reporting in depth on this secret gathering of kingmakers and power elites. While Bilderberg?s top man insists that it is just a good old boys club, another Bilderberg participant readily admits it holds influence in global decisionmaking, BBC News reports from London. ?Will Hutton, an economic analyst and former newspaper editor who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls ?the international common sense? about policy,? BBC said. ?On every issue that might influence your business you will hear first hand the people who are actually making those decisions and you will play a part in helping them make those decisions and formulating the common sense,? BBC quotes Hutton. ?And that ?common sense? is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg?s main participants?in particular free trade,? BBC told listeners, who number in the millions. ?Viscount Davignon says that at the annual meetings, ?automatically around the table you have internationalists??people who support the work of the World Trade Organization, transatlantic cooperation and European integration.? Viscount Etienne Davignon, 73, is chairman of Bilderberg and a former European commissioner. Today, Davignon is a wealthy banker and is known as the public face behind the unification of Europe under one currency, the euro. BBC?s Bill Hayton interviewed him at his office in Brussels. Hayton correctly called it an ?extremely rare interview.? ?I don?t think [we are] a global ruling class because I don?t think a global ruling class exists,? Davignon told BBC listeners. ?I simply think it?s people who have influence interested to speak to other people who have influence.? Davignon said ?business influences society and politics influences society?that?s purely common sense. It?s not that business contests the right of democratically elected leaders to lead.? ?For Bilderberg critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof they are up to no good,? BBC?s Hayton said on air. ?Jim Tucker, [senior] editor of . . . American Free Press, for example, alleges they organize wars and elect and depose political leaders. He describes the group as simply ?evil.? So where does the truth lie?? Bilderberg meetings ?often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names,? Hayton said. ?Bill Clinton went in 1991, while still governor of Arkansas. Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition member of Parliament. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed.? BBC did not mention that Blair also attended in 1998 as prime minister. NO ACCIDENT Davignon explained that Bilderberg?s steering committee ?does its best assessment of who are the bright new boys or girls in the beginning phase of their career who would like to get known. . . . It?s not a total accident.? ?Professor Kees van der Piji of Sussex University in Britain says such private networks of corporate and political leaders play an informal but crucial role in the modern world,? Hayton said. He quotes the professor: ? ?There need to be places where these people can think about the main challenges ahead, coordinate where policies should be going, and find out where there could be a consensus.? ? This benign image of Bilderberg, however, denies reality. A simple glance at the secret roster of attendees shows it is composed
[CTRL] Time to start drilling and producing oil from ANWR
-Caveat Lector- Opinion Editorials October 12, 2005 Time to tap more of Alaska for U.S. oil needs Tony Phyrillas With gas prices hovering around $3 per gallon and millions of Americans facing the bleak prospect of heating their homes this winter, its time to revisit the decision not to drill for oil in the frozen wasteland of Alaska. Although the Bush administration has been pushing for congressional approval to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration for five years, Democrats repeatedly have blocked the presidents energy initiatives. We now see the fruits of the Democrats obstructionist policies skyrocketing energy prices that threaten to sink the U.S. economy into recession. Its time to stop pampering environmentalists and the Adopt A Caribou Foundation and start thinking about whats best for our economy and our people. The damage caused by Hurricane Katrina to Americas oil production capabilities in the Gulf of Mexico, coupled with the ongoing extortion directed at the U.S. by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries leaves us no choice but to fend for ourselves to meet our nations energy needs. How much longer do we want to be at the mercy of OPEC, which consists of nine Muslim countries and Venezuela, which is run by a crackpot dictator. We need to take advantage of all our resources, including opening more of Alaska to oil and gas exploration. A quarter of the nations oil supply already comes from Alaska, primarily from Prudhoe Bay, home of the largest oil fields in North America. The adjacent ANWR region has the potential to become Americas largest oil reserve and would go a long way to reducing our dependence on foreign oil. And the best thing of all is that we would set the price for a barrel of oil not OPECs oil ministers. Had the Clinton administration, which did nothing in eight years to improve this countrys energy supply, had the foresight to push for drilling in Alaska, oil could be flowing from the ANWR region today. Experts say it will take at least eight to 10 years to bring oil production in ANWR online. We dont have time to lose. So next time you pay $50 at the pump to fill up your car, you can thank Bill and Hillary Clinton and their environmental guru, Al Gore, for neglecting the nations energy needs so they could count on the support of environmental extremists at the polls. You can also thank Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Sen. Hillary Clinton for bottling up the Bush energy plan for the past five years. What is the Democrats energy policy? They dont have one other than opposing anything President Bush proposes. The left-wing propaganda machine and its comrades in the liberal media have put out all sorts of deceptive information regarding drilling in the ANWR region all designed to scare people into supporting the Democrats do-nothing strategy. Heres all you need to know about expanding oil drilling in Alaska: Of the nearly 19 million acres of the ANWR region, only 1.5 million or about 8 percent would be subject to exploration. The other 92 percent wont be touched, giving caribou, polar bears and other wildlife plenty of room to roam. If oil is found in abundance, which is what geologists predict, the U.S. treasury would receive billions of dollars in revenue money that we now send to keep all those Arab sheiks living in the lap of luxury. Oil exploration and eventual drilling in Alaska would create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. And for the Cindy Sheehan crowd (the ones who believe we liberated Iraq to get its oil), we wouldnt have to invade any more Middle Eastern countries for the oil because wed have plenty of it from domestic sources. The United States has been pumping oil out of Alaska for decades without any negative consequences. Prudhoe Bay is one of the safest facilities anywhere in the world. Its also an area where technology and wildlife have co-existed for decades. The Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline that runs the length of the state has operated since the mid-1970s without any major problems. Its time to end the appeasement of the Chicken Little environmentalists and do whats best for this country. The United States has not built a new oil or gas refinery since 1976 thanks to the hysterical environmentalists and their Democratic allies in Congress. We cant allow fringe groups to dictate energy policy at the expense of whats best for the majority of Americans who want a reliable, affordable source of energy. Oil and natural gas from the ANWR region would provide just that. Write to your congressman today and demand that he or she support additional oil exploration in Alaska.

Archdiocese, a Times analysis finds. By Jean Guccione and Doug Smith - Times Staff Writers 101/3/05 "The clergy sexual abuse scandal reached far more broadly across the Los Angeles Archdiocese — and put far more children at risk — than has previously been known, according to a Times study that examined the records of hundreds of accused priests. Although the sexual abuse scandal has been the subject of more than 560 court claims and a report by the archdiocese, basic information on the dimensions of the problem have remained sketchy. The Times analysis is the first to quantify the breadth of the scandal in the archdiocese. Molestations have been alleged at roughly 100 parishes. But because the accused priests moved around the archdiocese on average every 4.5 years, the total number of parishes in which alleged abusers served is far larger — more than three-fourths of the 288 parishes, according to the study, which examined records back to 1950." http://ktla.trb.com/news/local/la-me-priestdata13oct13,0,7536691.story?coll=ktla-news-1 Childhood sexual abuse linked to sexual dysfunction later in life for both men and women Category: Sexual Health/STDs News 10/12/05 "A new Queensland study has found a significant link between childhood sexual abuse and symptoms of sexual dysfunction in adult men and women. The study, conducted by scientists from UQ, QUT and QIMR, is published in the current edition of international journal Archives of Sex Research (Oct 2005). It found that the rate of sexual dysfunction for men who had experienced childhood sexual abuse was double that of those who had not experienced abuse. For women, similar differences were apparent, with women who had experienced penetrative abuse substantially more likely to report three or more symptoms of sexual dysfunction.

He has become increasingly outspoken about the issues of the day and now talks to BBC HARDtalk about his current concerns over the Kosovo crisis. This Nato action is not only illegal, immoral, and also crazy and infantile, it will achieve absolutely nothing, says Harold Pinter. The playwright, who describes himself as a bit of an old warrior, has been speaking out on human rights issues since the overthrow of Chile's President Allende back in the 1970s, and how he is standing his ground over the crisis in the Balkans. Angry at Nato's intervention, Pinter claims the plight of the Kosovo people is irrelevant to the US and the UK. Instead he says the two nations are more interested in domination and assertion of power, and are pursuing a course which will only agravate the misery and the horror and devastate the country. Such outspoken views have seen Pinter attacked by the British press, but he remains determined to have his say. I live in a very hostile press world because I speak my mind, he says. The tradition for artists in Britain is to shut up and write. But Pinter feels that as British citizen he has an obligation to speak out about the bombing, Not as an artist, but as a man, he adds. -- http://www.haroldpinter.org/politics/politics_serbia.shtml Harold Pinter.org The Guardian June 7, 1999 Audrey Gillan The playwright Harold Pinter told an anti-war demonstration that he was ashamed to be British because of Nato's bombing of Yugoslavia. At the gathering of more than 6,000 marchers in a park next to the Imperial War Museum in London on Saturday, he described the current peace talks as a sham, and claimed that the war had been totally unwarranted. Standing in the shadow of the two l5 inch naval guns that sit at the entrance to the museum, the playwright threw his words out like stones, each of them aimed at the Labour government. 'I am sure those people here today who voted the Labour party into power share the same feeling - a deep sense of shame, the shame of being British. 'Little did we think two years ago that we had elected a government which would take a leading role in what is essentially a criminal act, showing total contempt for the United Nations and international law. Pinter said Britain's leaders had been engaging in despicable hypocrisy, and he contrasted Tony Blair's calling the nail bombing of a bar in Old Compton Street, Soho, barbaric, with his defending the cluster bombs dropped on Yugoslavia as civilization against barbarism. These clusterbombs cut children to pieces and this is an act which takes place 15,000ft 'under 'those brave bombers. An act which Mr Blair, with his moralistic Christianity applauds, Pinter said. Let us face the truth. The truth is that neither Clinton nor Blair gives a damn about the Kosovar Albanians. This action has been yet another blatant and brutal assertion of US power using Nato as its missile. It set out to consolidate one thing - American domination of Europe. This must be fully recognised and it must be resisted. The march, which began at the Embankment, had been organised by the Committee for Peace in the Balkans before the peace talks began. The organisers went

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 6:08 AM Subject: Fw: Albanian mobsters 'new mafia' In thisnanosecond world of 2005, one wonders howit took 25 yearsfor this bit of ancientinformation to reach the desks of our global news outlets.The truth is nowconsistently obscuredby not just liars of the Republican and Democratic ilk, but also by a majority of our talking heads. Poor Edward R. Murrowor should I say,'Pinwheel' Morrow? FBI: Albanian mobsters 'new Mafia' From Justice Producer Terry FriedenWednesday, August 18, 2004 Posted: 10:06 PM EDT (0206 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Thousands of Albanians and others who fled the Balkans for the United States in recent years have emerged as a serious organized crime problem, threatening to displace La Cosa Nostra (LCN) families as kingpins of U.S. crime, top FBI officials said Wednesday. The Albanian criminal enterprises, operating largely in New York and other Eastern seaboard cities, represent a major challenge to federal agents because of their propensity for violence and brutality, the officials said. "They are a hardened group, operating with reckless abandon," said Chris Swecker, the newly named FBI assistant director for the Criminal Investigative Division. Swecker and other officials said some of the Albanians served as enforcers in the established Mafia families for several years. When the FBI dealt a major blow to the LCN families in recent years, the Albanians began to emerge, and now are taking over turf once controlled by the traditional mob bosses. Officials said ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro are included in the clans and crews that emerged in the organized crime world. FBI officials said Russian and many other organized crime groups operating in the United States are much more sophisticated and less violent than the Albanians. Part of the Albanian emergence stems from the FBI's success in busting the LCN. Operation Buttondown, the code name for the FBI's campaign to crush the Mafia, reduced the number of families operating in the United States from 24 to only nine, the FBI officials said. More than 100 leading members of LCN and more than 600 associates were arrested in the crackdown on organized crime. Although no terrorism connection has been discovered, the FBI says it is closely watching to see whether the militant Muslims in the emerging organized crime world demonstrate ties to organizations suspected of involvement in terrorist financing.
