<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">ORDER: A supervision order: Reasons for Order - Domestic Violence as perpetrated by </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">(Mother) - Michelle Stewart (Father) - Peter Cefai - (Child)</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">the Father and Mother’s Mental Health.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I take full responsibility for the publication of this article
because truth is considered an absolute defense and transparency needs
exposure when you have nothing else left but your own truth when the law
that governs us all fails to protect the most vulnerable in society.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The only way to allow transparency where Child Protection has failed
their Duty of Care is exposure publicly where they have failed their
duty in relation to the Child as in this case with our daughter “Cefai”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Child Protection Footscray had our young Child on a Supervision Order
where she had remained in my care and their intervention was pertaining
to the above concerns that was until Friday the 25th of October that
Order was subsequently Breached before a Bail Justice by way of "Mothers
Mental Health appears to have deteriorated" due to a remark I made
telling them if they continued to fail to protect my daughter from being
abused I would in order to protect her take matters into my own hands
by way of taking the life of the person who was abusing her &
"Parent’s continue to Breach Supervision Order exposing the Child to DV" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I fail to see how I am responsible for another person’s behavior and
when as your about to read further on it is DHS that have failed to
protect her and that is in disrepute.</span> </div>

regarding “multiple incidents” whilst in the fathers care where by your
own Protocol has not been abided by or implemented at all by Child
Protection while the child has been on a Supervision Order for a lengthy
very extended Period of Time!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Legal obligation of the Department of Child Protection whilst a
child is on a Supervision Order! This duty is also respectively there to
help and support the Parents!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Breach of any Order is significant and an Order can be breached if
your worker thinks that your situation has become worse and that your
safety (The Child Cefai) is at risk, or that the conditions of the order
are not being followed, your worker can breach the order and go back to
court for a decision.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I will detail why the Breach occurred further on and whether DHS have
indeed failed their Duty in relation to this Child and whether multiple
subsequent Breaches should have been made in an effort to protect the
Child and whether their decisions have put the Child (Cefai) at Further
Risk of Abuse.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Child Protection in Australia are mandated to protect Children at
risk of harm, ensuring they are "safe in the family". When adults caring
for children do not follow through with their responsibilities, are
abusive or exploit their positions of power, this is when Child
Protection becomes responsible for taking action.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am going to outline each incident that I strongly believe by
reading their own Protocol impeaches on the Child Cefai’s emotional
wellbeing, physical safety & neglect, followed by footage, recorded
calls and photos of what I deem as a mother to be Child Abuse and severe
neglect by the DHS Footscray’s case Manager.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">All Incidents are ones for which DHS are very aware of and have even had independent disclosures made by the Child.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS & their excuse for lack of Intervention and protection is the
"CHILDRENS COURT & RESIDING JUDGES" would not deem any of the
Incidents sufficient or significant enough to amend the current order
because it is the belief of the Children’s Court that a "Father should
have the same proactive role in a child’s life to the extent of a
Mother" That I do agree with in every respect & I also agree that a
Child requires both parents!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What I have a problem with is multiple incidents of risk by a parent,
reports that appear in the Child’s best Interest that are not being met
by the Parent and potential behavior that most certainly puts that
Child at risk of emotional harm, physical harm and neglect and even
endangerment of life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Victorian Child Protection Service is specifically targeted to
those children and young people at risk of harm or where families are
unable or unwilling to protect them! "This is a brief summary that is
written on the Department of Child Protections website"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Despite liking them or loathing them, it is a fact DHS-Child
Protection are a necessary evil and the system is implemented to protect
Children.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I do not have a problem with any system designed to help our most
venerable in society, but I most certainly do when particular regions,
workers and those in a position of power are in fact breaching their own
protocol and daily by doing the adverse and putting those Children at
further risk or simply not acting at all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Best interests principles. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Child Protection seek these Orders in relation to what is deemed in the Best Interest of the Child.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a class="ext" href="https://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/edulibrary/public/stuman/wellbeing/protecting_children_protocol27_5_10.pdf" target="_blank" title="https://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/edulibrary/public/stuman/wellbeing/protecting_children_protocol27_5_10.pdf">https://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/edulibrary/public/stuman/wellbeing/protect...</a><span class="ext"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The ‘every child every chance’ reforms are underpinned by principles
that promote the right of every child to live a full and productive life
in an environment that builds confidence, friendships, security and
happiness irrespective of their family circumstances or background.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 is a key building block to
support the reform strategy to promote children’s safety, wellbeing and
development.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The CYFA has a unifying set of ‘best interests principles’ that
require family services, Child Protection and placement services to
protect children from harm, protect their rights and promote their
development in gender, age and culturally appropriate ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">For the purposes of this protocol, acting in the best interests of the child includes:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• All allegations or disclosures of physical abuse, sexual abuse,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Emotional abuse and neglect</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• reporting to Child Protection when a belief is formed that a child has been harmed or is at</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Risk of being harmed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• making the child’s ongoing safety and wellbeing the primary focus of decision-making</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• sharing appropriate information, expertise and resources with other service providers</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Supporting the child</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• protecting and promoting the cultural and spiritual identity of a child and maintaining their</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Connection to their family or community of origin</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• enabling the child and the child’s family to access appropriate services in order to reduce</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> The long-term effects of abuse or neglect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What happens when those who work within Child Protection "Abuse"
their position of Power and where they do not follow the protocol that
is there to enforce the protection of the said Child/ren ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">When Child Protection seek Orders pertaining to Children & supply
written Court Reports before the Children's Courts & the presiding
Judges that solely rely upon the evidence presented as being "True &
Correct" in all respects to make decisions based on what is deemed in
the best Interest of the child given the circumstances presented, If the
reports that are presented to the Courts & presiding Magistrates
are "NOT" True & Correct or fail to depict the true nature of a
Childs Circumstance's with information that is not accurate or credible
then it puts the entire system that is designed to protect Children in
Jeopardy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What happens when the same Government Department fails to protect the Children that they are mandated to protect?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What happens when they FAIL their "Duty of Care" regarding children
on Orders they have sought before the Courts removing them from Parents?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Where are they made responsible for their failures when there are
Laws that protect them from transparency when grave mistakes are being
made at the expense of Children and Family’s all over Australia?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Where Children have even lost their young lives due to their severe
Negligence when in the position of Loci-Parenti? (Place of Parent)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How many Children are hindered by their Intervention and put at far
greater risk of emotional & psychological harm, physical abuse &
even on rare occasion’s sexual abuse daily within Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How many Children have been sexually abused in Care?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How many notification's do not come from credible & reliable
sources rather than people who are disgruntled, malicious - ex spouses,
feuding neighbor's , even family members and friends, where those people
are protected and their notifications appear to be validated despite
them not being true or correct?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Have you ever had someone make an allegation that was untrue and most
certainly unfounded & rather than the person making the allegation
providing evidence, you were simply regarded as guilty before you even
had the chance to prove your innocence & without them providing any
evidence to validate such claims, even in a court of law you are
innocent until proven guilty!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why is it that there are so many expectations from parents that are
struggling or have no Family support and yet DHS provide “NO” support or
help to those Family’s? The irony is, if you become a Carer the
structured support and help is there immediately. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Example: From my own personal experience: If you require a Taxi
voucher because you are having trouble getting your child to per say
Kindergarten, DHS will tell you they cannot help you & that you will
have to find another form of transport or you will be Breached for not
providing your child with what they deem as necessary and compulsory
education.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">If a Carer requests the same they are given it immediately! Those
that are struggling are left struggling & with the fear of having
those they love taken from them over a transportation issue that was
temporary! Where is the rational and most certainly where is the
fairness or help and support to those who need it most?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I presume if they were to take as much time helping and supporting
those parents in the same way as they do Carer's , how many of these
Children would actually be in the system, rather than at home with their
parents who are trying ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How many Children Internationally tragically Die in their Care due to
their own failures and complete lack off duty off care when in the
position of Loci -Parenti ,how many parents are left trying to pick up
those pieces with their lives never being the same & given a life
sentence after the loss of their Child and all that entails .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How would a parent be perceived if a Child was to die in their care with the same negligence?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Parents are prosecuted by DHS for far less.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How many mistakes are being made daily with hundreds of Children
& Family’s when the material produced to the Courts is not true ,nor
accurate and court reports have been embellished or written to suit the
needs of the Department or the Departments skewed perception.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mental Health is one of the major concerns for which they use
frequently in their investigations, reports and criteria for involvement
.Mental Health even in 2013 despite the changes in approach over the
years with far more education implemented and structured around greater
awareness regarding Mental Health within society, there is most
defiantly still - a stigma very much associated with any Mental Health
diagnoses. Lack of understanding where a person is labelled by their
illness is common & negative attitudes create prejudice which leads
to negative actions and discrimination within DHS when dealing with
those who have a Mental Health diagnoses & even where there is “NO”
associated risk of harm to the Child.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS use parents Mental Health issues constantly as leverage against parents who have any form of diagnoses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How many parents Mental health issues despite the diagnoses &
where it does not oppose a risk to a Child is made worse with their
intervention ,intrusion and condemnation & prejudice and should a
parent that suffers Mental Health be made to feel any less worthy of
being a Parent ,if it does not affect their ability to parent?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Where have you ever seen or read a report written by DHS remotely in
the Parents Interest, despite the efforts they have made or even changes
they have implemented in their lives in order to help their situation?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How can reports such as these be beneficial to any ones emotional
wellbeing when they are struggling & all attempts by parents to
rectify situations in order to help their Children & themselves are
rebuked by Court Reports from DHS with negative responses and reports
that disparage people simply trying !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">If DHS and their decisions can be so negligent & impact on our
case before the Children's Courts regarding my daughter and fail to
protect a young child from risk of harm… I ask how many Children are
actually at risk currently within the system where they are failing to
provide that duty of care and how many Magistrates that preside in the
Children’s Court are fully aware of a Family’s circumstances when making
such life changing decisions when so many mistakes are being made
during the Initial investigation’s that are fundamentally flawed and
skewed in their presentation by the Department before the Children’s
Court.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am unsure of the legal ramifications of this publication, I take
sole reasonability for what I have written, This is our life that is
being severely affected by decisions made by the powers to be - DHS that
are impacting on the emotional wellbeing of my Family and I will
produce as much evidence as I can in order to protect my daughter from a
system designed to protect her from abuse - yet have allowed continual
abuse to occur, that has impacted on my emotional wellbeing , not to
mentions my child’s that I am simply trying to protect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I fail to see why my daughter was removed over a remark I had made
regarding her Father in trying to prevent further abuse & due to
months of raising concerns where DHS have failed to protect my child and
I refuse to have supervised visits with my child when I have never
apposed a risk too her or have ever been assessed as being a risk to her
and have always been proactive in protecting her and parenting her
appropriately. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS have disadvantaged my child and have impacted on her stability,
security & emotional wellbeing terribly & they have had no
regard to my plight to have her protected from abuse, it is fair to say
that you will and would do anything to protect your child and more so
when you have already lost a child due to the negligence of others.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have no doubt that Parents like myself are desperately trying to be
heard and are being silenced by DHS where we appear to have no voice in
a Country where we are known for our Freedom of Speech and it is our
most basic Human Right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">We are being dragged through a system with people making decisions
that are most certainly not based in the Best Interest of the Child in
this case & I presume many others sadly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS can try and silence me in court and continue to write inaccurate
court reports where they do not depict the true nature of my daughters
circumstances, nor mine before the presiding Judges that govern and make
decisions pertaining to what they have before them, that can have life
changing & have devastating effects on a Family unit if they are
provided with misinformation. When you finally arrive at Court when a
date is listed, you are given little to no time to defend such
allegations in a system where there are hundreds of cases back logged
and not enough Lawyer’s or time to be able to look at all the material
in its entirety when you do appear and extremely lengthy adjournment's
that take months from your life that are most certainly detrimental to
the wellbeing of every family member involved.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I will not be silenced and I will not allow the safety and wellbeing
of my child jeopardized because DHS are simply not following their own
guidelines and protocol and have ultimately put my child at risk of
significant harm and emotional harm removing her from a loving home
where I may not have the Family support and I do unashamedly suffer a
preexisting Mental illness relating to the death of my son, despite the
fact it has not hindered my ability to love, nurture, care and protect
my daughter to the best of my given ability and under sometimes the most
difficult of circumstance’s. My daughters needs have always been met,
well and truly before my own in every respect. I fail to see where I
have committed any crime.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">My disability regarding the concerns raised by DHS are “lack of
Family support “and “Mental Health” that has never ever hindered my
ability to parent & care for my Child & cater for all her needs,
being a special needs Child accompanied by complex medical illnesses as
well and over the years multiple therapists and specialist. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Nor have I ever apposed a risk too her in anyway emotionally or
physically ,nor would I & that has been well documented in previous
lengthy psychiatric reports to DHS that my preexisting Mental Health
does not in any way put my Children at harm. DHS despite knowing this
still target my Mental Health that is associated with the passing of one
of my Children and to me is merely a reminder of how much I will always
love & miss him dearly. The loss of one Child has made me more
protective & circumspect with my children & especially when my
Child is unwell. I do not see that as a crime and even that does not
interfere with my parenting only with the internal fear of loss in
situations where I have no control over the outcome such as medical
illnesses and those internal fears I work on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I will also add that since the passing of my son, that I have never
ever been medicated for my PTSD ,depression ,panic disorder as I have
severe sensitivities' to medications that has made it impossible and I
like to believe I have done remarkably well under the circumstances with
no Family support or assistance for my condition that seems to have
deteriorated over the last 5 months due to DHS intervention and failure
to protect my daughter with more than valid concerns from any parent in
my position.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS has raised concerns regarding my “Mental Health” and Domestic
Violence where I am not the perpetrator of that Violence and
respectfully do understand their concern’s in relation to Domestic
Violence and the impact it has on Children.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Daughter has been in my care since birth and despite DHS concerns
for my Mental Health and ongoing Domestic Violence with the Father who
is the perpetrator of this Violence they have sought fit to make an
order that she have lengthy access with her Father at one stage it was 3
times a week and overnight weekend access ,this fluctuated with certain
incidents where they would supervise for a week or so and then deem
unsupervised access to return until there was a “Further Incident” &
then they would repeat the cycle . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I ask what abuse is ever rarely done with witnesses and do they think
they are dealing with a Man with no brain function who has not got the
ability to control himself within the company of DHS workers or Police? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Mental Health:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My mental health diagnoses is PTSD after the death of my son.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.Panic Disorder.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.Agoraphobia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.None of these Mental Health conditions have hindered my ability to
Mother & Parent my Child. None of these conditions have ever
prevented my daughter who is a special needs child with the Diagnoses of
Autism, including multiple medical conditions, such an Epilepsy and
others from ever receiving proper medical treatment in every respect and
with no help or support from the DHS, despite the fact she has multiple
specialists.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.It is known by DHS that her father does not take the time to
understand her complex medical needs or takes her to even a GP after
accidents have occurred that require review and has no awareness or
insight into her medical conditions that remotely see him fit to care
for her and takes no interest in being self-educated in her needs and
requirements, nor have they implemented conditions or provisions
requesting that he does learn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My Childs education has always been met, as with her education mile stone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My Child eats appropriate meals and meals that entail diligent care
because they need to be modified due to health reasons, otherwise she
can become ill.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My daughter has always and solely by myself and without the
financial support of her working Father due to him being exonerated from
paying Child Support due to his Domestic Violence, has had all
financial needs met in every respect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My Child in my care has been loved, nurtured, happy, clean and
healthy despite her medical dispositions, I have always put in supports
that have been required where they have been needed by my child
promptly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My child has never been around any form of illicit drug use, alcohol use or even resides in a home where I smoke cigarettes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My Child has always been in a clean, hygienic environment ,though a
somewhat” cluttered household” due to us moving back into our home that
had been severely abused and was very unhygienic and without any help or
support from DHS despite asking for help that was promised and never
given.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> I have taken the tedious exhausting task at hand doing the best I
can and by myself in a house that was not fit for my Child or myself and
where I had been sleeping on a couch and my daughter had "NO ACCESS "
to her bed, where I went and had to Purchase another bedroom suite
because I simply had no help in accessing the one stacked here amongst
furniture dumped down stairs in a main lounge that I could not even get
too ,let -alone move by myself and despite my many request from DHS-No
help was offered or given only demands to have it sorted and done and
the back yard when we moved in deemed as dangerous for our child. This
was the condition Peter Cefai left the home in before leaving knowing
his daughter was moving back in. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.My child resides in a home where she is very well loved and nurtured
by myself, where our outings are limited while I work on my Panic
Disorder, but I manage to put in place smaller outings and home based
activities to substitute for that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.I am proficient in teaching my child methods of interaction and
social appropriateness because she has Autism and getting structured
support that she needs such as her speech therapists and always engage
with the teacher as too how she is doing at school and whether there is
anything else I can do to make her journey in life a little easier. I
focus on the needs of my daughter first and foremost well and truly
before my own. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.I do not & have never abused my Child, neglected, emotionally,
physically or in anyway and there are "NO" Recorded Incidents from my
Child or anyone else whilst she is in my care of any such abuse.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS concerns pertaining to myself are:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I do not have Family support that I can rely on if needed or anyone
that I can call in case I am unwell and the only person made available
has been my daughters father as DHS have been powerless to be able to
find anyone for me, despite months of requesting someone ,so that her
father was not an option at all, nor should he be.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I cannot produce family I simply do not have due to them being either
deceased, in another state or would be deemed unfit by the department.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have requested, along with those who I work with regarding my
Depression and Panic Disorder that DHS find suitable respite support as
long as I can remember and I have been told there is “NONE” & since
these are significant concerns according to DHS, I find it perplexing
they cannot provide a solution, yet expect me to find a miracle and
Family I simply do not have and their answers to my questions are below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (A.)They have "NONE" in fact they not only do not have respite
carer’s but a shortage of carer’s and cannot provide one and there
disposition is they have "8 year old" children in RESICARE units and
they are in debt millions? It appears they can condemn a person for not
having Family or support and deem that a requirement when you have
Mental Health ,but cannot put any respite or support in place knowing
the "child" when viewing all the case notes has "NO" suitable extended
Family to care for her at all and hasn’t for the last nearly 4 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">A. When DHS fail to be able to provide adequate care and simply say
they cannot help, I fail to see how they can raise it as an issue at
all, unless they have a remedy of assistance in situations like this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">B. The other problem at hand is my Mental Health, the main problem I
have with my "Mental Health" is dealing with Panic Disorder which can be
rather debilitating and restrictive in relation to area & zone, I
can only travel within a certain radius, far better than when I was
confined to my house and struggled to go to the letter box. I have on
many occasions asked DHS could they assist me in getting into a Panic
Disorder Clinic who specialize solely in this field of expertise and I
have no doubt I would benefit greatly with this particular therapy &
for my condition, that opposes “no risk to anyone “ and are merely
quite frightening for those who have them… I was told initially "YES" as
both Child and mother would benefit if I had the ability to be able to
travel independently rather than rely on people and her father.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">C. Then there was a change of heart by DHS and they couldn’t help me
at all as the clinics that deal with Panic Disorder are private!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How dare DHS use my "Mental Health" as leverage in your concerns and
reports when I do not oppose a risk to my Child & you have me asking
for any help or assistance & DHS cannot provide anything and will
not HELP! Why use it at all? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">If the belief is that it could affect my ability to care for my
child, yet have no remedy or support in place to be able to help and
know that I have enlisted as much help as possible and work weekly in
trying to help myself with the little that is available in the public
domain.Is that not a person being productive rather than the
counterproductive behavior that DHS have supplied being in the form of
Penpushing? That’s really helpful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I would like to know what has been done to date in relation to
support, assistance & help from DHS, apart from wasting people’s
time where you can’t help them and hindering and adding insult to
injury, condescending, arrogant and unproductive and adding more
distress to a family that has gone through enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The “ONLY” Concern by DHS that is acceptable and a valid is DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Should I have to be responsible for the actions of a perpetrators abuse?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have acted protectively by calling the Police when Incidents have occurred.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">There have been 20"documented” or more Incidents, not including his
Breaches where I have been flagged by the Police as a high risk
category.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Police say that the Courts are too blame because with each guilty
plea or by the time is reaches court which could take a year, the
evidence does not get produced and he is asked to do anger management
courses. It was also a condition on the DHS orders that he has never
complied to that would surely constitute a Breach? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Father must not expose Child to Domestic Violence”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The domestic Violence has been ongoing and horrendous and I was told
by DHS in order to protect my daughter and myself that I needed to
prevent him having access to the home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">That meant money, either changing locks, but in this case due to the
damage where he had literally kicked in the front doors which were
hollow, it meant securing solid front doors and a side fence so that he
could not climb over and it also mean changing an entire garage roller
door if I could not get access to the automatic key lock. That way I
could only deal with the damage to my car’s!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I ask could DHS help us in this way since it was a grave concern or
if they could financially assist .They could not help in any way and
simply said –WE DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I had to get money that I did not have and spent over a $1000 on
second hand doors to be installed by Hire a Hubby that were solid core
doors and $200 for a side fence and when I asked could DHS please get
the “automatic Key Lock for the garage” as I could not afford to have an
entire roller door replaced as well & had cut corners and he did
not reside here and hadn’t since I moved back to my home -I was told
"NO" we can’t simply ask him to return it ,that is not what we are here
for ,it is a civil matter and then they wonder how he still manages to
gain access as he pleases to the Garage and backyard and takes what he
like when he wants! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have done all that one can do in relation too Domestic Violence and
what is expected of me in an event of a Domestic Violence incident and
are the only expectations in safety plans when you enlist supports as
have been done many times with Women’s Health West.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I suspect the problem is when an offender has no consequences from
anyone, they tend to believe the Abuse can continue & their actions
are justified when there are no repercussions for abusive behavior and
conduct! “The father must attend anger management course “He has not
complied with that at all has he DHS despite it being a condition of
your own Order?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS had told Peter Cefai and myself “He Could attend the home as long
as it was not when his daughter was present and that they could not
entirely stop him and we could meet in public places. This was changed
to him not be able to attend the home after they realized that his
incidents were still occurring and he was not abiding by the
instructions that he was not to come when his child was here!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">If it is confusing for you- Imagine trying to comprehend their rather
illogical instructions that only made the matter far more complex and
in some respects worse knowing the history on and off over the last 4
years! Maybe some couple counselling may have been more beneficial if it
was to be in the best interest of the child and he has an important
role in her life despite his abuse even to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I don’t begrudge a father seeking and getting help and becoming
responsible for his own actions and how such actions have ultimately
affected the lives of those who love him such as his daughter, only one
that can’t see he needs it, refuses to help himself and acknowledge the
he has any problems and won’t change his behavior that is detrimental
emotionally in every respect to his “only child” and myself being her
mother.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I had requested DHS help me by taking me to my daughter’s specialist
appointments in the Melbourne, one she waited nearly 4 years for with
her Geneticist and DHS had arranged to take me. I was elated and thought
how nice of them, they can offer us a “little” support, as they sit
there when they do these errands you notice their penpushing (how
appropriate, how intrusive and frankly rude).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">At the last minute I was called by the worker who said “sorry I can’t
make it” do you feel comfortable with Peter taking you because there is
"NO" one else that can? It became apparent that is did not matter if I
felt uncomfortable, because no other arrangements were made and it was
the only choice I had because our daughter needed to attend that
appointment and I wasn’t going to wait 9 months after waiting nearly 4
years when it was important as she has a rare gene mutation .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why is it suitable for DHS to allow access that has been “DENIED” by
DHS in Ordering him too not come to the home and especially with our
daughter present because of more incidents of Domestic Violence and
suddenly have him become my only means of getting to these places in the
event they cannot take us? It really does defeat the purpose of what
they have placed as a restriction on their Orders. The same way they
have had me rely on him in the past with no family support instead of
finding someone that can help.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What is even more bizarre is they allow that, yet deny him being an
Electrician putting in the oven that I had to purchase because he burnt
out the other one and it leaves food not edible and cannot be cleaned as
it caught on fire, so he said or to put in the 10 down lights that he
has removed all over the lounge leaving it a risk and hazard with
exposed wires… I simply do not have the money to pay for an electrician
it is hundreds of dollars and it would have got the oven and cooktop out
of the hallway!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">When DHS cannot support me in doing so and when they allow my abuser
to have the ultimate control and by having me rely on him because they
cannot provide assistance themselves or give prior notice & they
have “no way of supporting my daughter or myself” Why are they Involved?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">It appears it’s an “All or Nothing Situation “so my question is if
they have not got the ability to support, provide or help in any way
beneficial, but merely hinder and confuse me as to what is
reallyexpected from myself and do not have the remedy to rectify their
own concerns then why are they involved and what is there purpose when
they clearly stipulate that we are not to be together around the Child,
yet use him when it suits their needs & purpose? It simply defeats
the purpose of their Intervention.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I might add on each order there are stipulations such as : Father
must not expose the Child to Domestic Violence per say and I can also
inform you that he has either not abided by those requirement’s or he
simply has not attended what they have requested and not once Breached
him for not abiding by those conditions: How ironic! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">IT DEFEATS THE ORDERS DHS HAVE IMPLEMENTED & THEIR CONCERNS - IN FACT IT BREACHES THEIR OWN CONDUCT.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Following this there are Incidents which were clear Breaches and DHS
should have most certainly acted in order to protect the Child and they
clearly did not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">ARE THESE INCIDENTS IN BREACH OF DHS PROTOCOL WHISLT A CHILD IS ON
THIS ORDER & ARE THESE NOT SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS & NOT ANOTHER
FORM OF DV? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•.The very First concern was the Co-Sleeping between the father &
his child in a single bed and DHS had told her father this was
inappropriate and that he was required to get his "own bed" and stop as
this behavior was unhealthy given her age . Despite residing in a 3
bedroom house where in the 3rd bedroom is a queen bed that does not get
utilized, he continued to do it. This appears to me to be a very
unhealthy innate need for her father & not for our Child as she
sleeps in her own bed at home and despite DHS continuing to ask our
daughter where she sleeps and being told with Dad in the bottom bunk,
there has been no “BREACH” to date and this has gone on for well over a
year!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Her father continues to Co-Sleep with our 5, nearly 6 year old
daughter in a single bed, where he even purchased single bed bunks and
DHS deemed that appropriate & where there is a 3rd Bedroom that he
could make his own with a queen bed?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS asked initially if I believed that he may have been sexually
abusing our daughter, I said "NO" though I did believe his sleeping with
her was very unhealthy & more a co-dependency need on his behalf
and despite their need to ask if I believed he could have been sexually
abusing our daughter -to date DHS have not had our child go through any
process to eliminate that initial doubt or any suspicion they may have
had & allowing her to see proper experts in that field to dispel any
possibility. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•I would never want to even entertain such a thought and I have
raised the co-sleeping arrangement’s as a concern given her age and his
inability to not be able to stop this habit, but I am not the one they
should be asking if they have the slightest suspicion or concern? I am
not an expert and should they have not already enlisted an expert to
make a proper assessment and determination if they had the slightest
concern or doubt?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Our daughter often urinates the bed at her fathers, so much so that
he states he has to wake her at 3am to take her to the toilet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•My daughter has only ever urinated her bed twice at home & that
was due to her epilepsy, she does not have a problem at home with bed
wetting. DHS are very aware of this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Our daughter told DHS that her father says look at your boobies… highly Inappropriate. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS were made aware there was very inappropriate tongue to tongue
wiggling between Father and Child and also between Grandfather and Child
when she was younger that was extremely disturbing to watch and they
were told that behavior needed to stop immediately. This behavior was
quite constant in 2008-09-10 and eventually stopped. DHS said it could
be a culture issue given they are Maltese, I doubt there culture
indifference has anything to do with this dysfunctional behavior.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Our daughter has made a disclosure that while her father was washing
her in the bath, after he washed her private parts he smelt his fingers
and when she asked him what he was doing he said your "minnie stinks"
despite being told that he does not need to bath her, as she washes
herself at home and is very independent in this area and this behavior
is sickening and extremely concerning to date DHS have done nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•.Our daughter shows a very unhealthy obsession with male “men” that
are strangers, by inappropriately crawling all over them and rubbing
their face ,calling them cute and wanting to get unnaturally close
,sitting on their knees and getting inappropriately close with her body
language. When she was on holiday not 1 but 3 men felt very
uncomfortable by her behavior and had to keep telling her to either get
down or off them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> One was a father with children.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Another asked her would she like to watch a movie and she said yes a
sex movie and he was extremely perplexed, she later explained that she
watches home and away with her father and it is a sex movie because they
kiss in it ,sex movies have kissing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•I am unsure what she is viewing whilst in her father’s care, but
there clearly appears to be no boundaries regarding what she is watching
on TV or even if she has been privileged to pornographic material. How
does a 5 year old know about sex or what that even means, I know they do
not discuss it as part of her education, so she clearly is being
influenced by something or someone?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Despite my concerns, I had been told on multiple occasions that if I
was not to allow access to go ahead with her father I would be in
breach of the supervision Orders, yet these are not clearly Breaches or
valid concerns ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•.Her father watches her go to the toilet standing at the door and
making her bend over so he can see if she has wiped herself properly and
he also shuts the door and invites her in while he is in the toilet
using it himself. My daughter has been appropriately toilet trained and
able to wipe herself as she does at school since she was 3.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•.The behaviors above with comments from her father hey sexy bum and
the fact he does not call her by her name but buddy is not a healthy
relationship in any respect for whatever reason .DHS are aware of all
the above and have little to know concerns and we have waited for a year
to have proper assessment’s to see whether there is underlying reasons
for his odd and unhealthy behavior that is most certainly detrimental to
our daughter in every respect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Her Father always asks her- Do you love me? Tell me you love me and
makes her kiss him and say I love you. He has indoctrinated her with his
likes, rather than the likes of a child, she tells him he can’t have
any girls in his life and he tells her, I only love and want you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•In the past he has manifested a very unhealthy situation between
myself and him, by telling me if I went to kiss him on the cheek to go
away and would say to our daughter “I only love you” and scolding me,
saying don’t kiss me & shoving me away and then going and kissing
our daughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•.After many months of this behavior , if my daughter even sees me
attempting to kiss her father good bye ,she becomes violent and jealous,
shoving me away and punching me ,calling me foul names & telling me
not to touch him. The relationship they have is not one you would ever
see between a father and daughter, it is unhealthy in many respects and I
have never encountered a relationship like it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS are more than aware that our Daughter has witnessed "Severe
Ongoing Domestic Violence" and has been a "Victim" Statistics and
documentation freely available tell us the huge emotional, physiological
impact that has on a young child-DHS to date have not incorporated any
help for our daughter in any respect, nor have they retained a
physiologist to see what underlying emotional damage has been done by
witnessing DV over a period of 4 years and even participating in such
violence by hitting me & getting approval from her father after an
incident.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">• She also verbally mimics her father by calling me a F…Mole and F
Fat Bitch and other vile names and even mimicking the way her brother
died as he mimics my dying son, taking his last breaths and asking me
for help by saying mum its Nathan help me and she behaves in the same
manner, her Father encourages her behavior & reinforces what she is
doing by appraisal. It is emotional abuse in its most inhumane form and
enough to nearly push anyone over the edge when he does this and even
worse when I see my daughter become a victim of his disgusting taunts
when she is so innocent and has not got any idea that he is mocking her
deceased brother and what will the emotional impact be when she realizes
what she is doing when she loves her brother so dearly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS have asked her ,does she know what it means when she does this
and she said NO-I just copy my Dad because he likes it or most commonly
refers to him as Peter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS have a responsibility to enlist appropriate supports and a
physiologist regarding her behavior to be able to make the determination
what characteristics and behavioral issues are due to her high
functioning Autism and what is due to her witnessing years of Domestic
Violence and the abuse that has been inflicted upon her by her own
father and witnessing such events as the death of her pets and abuse.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS despite a report that was originally given to them that stated
..."The Fathers needs were based solely around "HIS NEEDS & NOT THE
NEEDS of the CHILD" and although she loved her father she also feared
him. That report was well over a year and half ago and to date nothing
has been done and the Domestic Violence has continued not only in my
home but also his place of residence and work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">If that alone was not bad enough, there have been multiple incidents
of PHYSICAL ABUSE towards the child from her father Peter Cefai.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Pulling of her hair and making her cry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Pulling at her ear and it was red and swollen and she was hysterical and he has done this quite a few times.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Slapping her in the face with what they expressed as being more than
moderate force after an Interview where she made the disclosure of
abuse and they asked her to show them how hard daddy hit her & she
put her hand back and slapped the workers face that hard the worker said
her face was still stinging minutes later.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Grabbing, twisting and pulling her nose to where she cries.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Slapping & hitting her where he has left a welted hand prints
and where she runs to her room and puts her head into a pillow and cry’s
where she can’t catch her breath and will show you how she can’t catch
her breath .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Whipping her in the neck with a twisted T/Shirt discretely and then
while she is crying uncontrollable, he stands there denying it and calls
her a F…Liar, yet you can see the marks and his abuse appears to be
discrete and privately.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Pushing her in the back & slapping her chest over her heart and
near her collar bone leaving significant red markings, where it was
hidden with a t/shirt because it is one of the conditions that he not
physically abuse her and yet he does, without any Breach occurring or
having Peter made accountable for such abuse that is sadistic and
childlike and dangerous and he simply cannot stop or help himself from
doing it and then blackmails her that if she tells anyone she can’t go
to an event she is looking forward to or he will go to jail and the
police will take him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•Slapping her in the back so hard that she came flying off the top of
the ladder on the bunk bed and she had bruising to her forehead, arms
and legs that were deemed by the hospital as being inconclusive as they
could have also come from accidental injuries as well. Even the Police
that spoke to her believed what she told them, but she was far too young
to make a statement and her injuries were not significant enough as in
broken bones. I ask what will it take and how long before she is
severely injured .She was also noted as being very pale by hospital
staff and tired on arrival after she spent the weekend with her father
and looked white as a sheet and sick.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•There is also a small extremely significant scull calcification on
her forehead where there was also a tiny bleed that had damaged her
skull that still can be felt, after she apparently walked into a pole
and I was told she would have most certainly been concussed due to the
nature of the injury .Her father hid it for the entire weekend and did
not even seek medical attention and told her not to tell anyone, yet
after she arrived home and the lump did not look and feel right, I took
her to the doctors where they ordered an ultrasound & subsequently
where the damage was found. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He has no boundaries even around his responsibility, if indeed it
was an accident in seeking her proper medical attention after such a
serious blow to the head/scull where she nearly knocked herself out
enough to completely fall over.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He calls her a F….Bitch or calls her saying you little Bitch & names that are disgusting and highly inappropriate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He has made gesture to slit her throat after an incident of Domestic
Violence after taking her in his car and always takes her after abuse
incidents and you can’t stop him apart from calling the Police, because
his aggression and violence are out of control and it would put her I
further danger trying to remove her from him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He has held her while kicking, head butting and punching me and
shoving me over either in his arms or while she has been in my arms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He damages my cars and property and steals money that is my
daughters Christmas money and takes the most personal things, even my
dead sons clothing he has taken and walked in wearing his shorts that
have been sacredly kept and put away and when I am beside myself and in
shock, he replies what’s your problem & say it’s not as if he will
ever get to where them or care his dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He has driven in a 50k zone doing over 80k or more with our daughter
in the car and having our child explaining to DHS that the car hit the
side of the road and he drives very fast going side to side (apparently
the name is fishtailing) and she thinks she is going to heaven &
going to die where her brother is and that it scares her really bad and
she feels sad. How can you comprehend that fear?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•She says how she always feels sad and how bad she cries after incidents.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS deemed it fit to tell him not to drive like that and he has done
it on more than one occasion, despite the obvious emotional damage it
has caused her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He has driven with her in the front seat of the car without a proper restraint and says she like it though.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He has driven an un-roadworthy car with her in it speeding calling
me and telling her to say hello to mummy and then him telling me how
fast he was going, I was absolutely hysterical and him saying F…You
Bitch as though my Child was not ever coming back and unrestrained . The
Police were powerless to even intercept him as there were NO Family Law
Court Orders in Place. I had to wait to see if my daughter was coming
home or due to his aggression and impulsivity whether I would get a call
saying she had died in a car accident. I was begging them for help and
no one not even DHS could help me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•The Incidents have been multiple and many even costing the lives of
our 2 beloved dog’s one being my deceased sons and an assault to a 3rd
dog!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•My daughters and mine Jack Russell was mysteriously poisoned whilst
he refused to allow us to have our dog after I moved out and she
witnessed it die as she tried to reassure her pet he would be okay and
who she called her best friend, that he was going to be okay as he lay
dying under a tree in the backyard and she was trying to lift him up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•On the weekend when he had visiting rights ordered by DHS my
daughter watched for 2 days her pet die inhumanely where he could not
get up from under a fern tree in the back yard and where she could not
understand why he was not playing with her and her father telling her
maybe a snake bit him, where she was doting on him and trying to talk to
him telling him to get better. When she arrived home on the Sunday
distressed she said mummy Rocky is sick and he can’t get up and play
with me and her father called her a liar, I went to the home where I
found my dog lying there unable to get up and dying, I became
hysterical. I immediately called the Lord Smith Hospital where they
asked me to look at his gums and they were white, they said he had been
poisoned .Peter then claimed he had seen him eat rat poison he had
decided to put in the shed but had taken him to a vet where he said he
will be fine and to give him water a totally different version he gave
to his grief stricken 5 year old daughter about her beloved pet who she
referred to as her best friend as they spent every night together
playing on her trampoline, she never did use her trampoline after his
death and still today says how much she misses him. After blood and
plasma transfusion trying to desperately save his life, my daughter had
to watch him die and was devastated and when Peter was asked by the Lord
Smith what vet gave him that information he said I lied and had no
remorse at all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•That was his Childs pet.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•The second and most treasured pet belonged to my deceased son who
was my closest companion also died at the hands of Peter .We had an
Alaskan Malamute and my old Foxy Sparky that resided together happily
for many years . I and Peter knew they could not be fed together. After
an incident of DV where I left the home, I came home later to my beloved
old dog with his eye hanging out and blood all over his face, I
immediately got a friend to take him to the Lord smith where his eye was
removed and the socket sutured and eventually sent home, Peter said I
never seen his eye or face like that, I forgot and fed the dogs together
Jetta must of attacked him. Months later another Incident occurred and
when I returned home my beloved dog and friend had to be put down as he
was again savaged by Jetta due to Peter feeding them again together
despite the incident months earlier, he said I forgot ,accidents happen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•As little as a few months ago he picked up my daughters and mine
little Chihuahua whom she also called Rocky where he was allowed to come
to the home with the provided consent of DHS as his daughter had been
just diagnosed with epilepsy and was having seizure’s that were
petrifying and as he sat next to our daughter with her dog on her lap,
he said something in an aggressive tone towards her and I asked him to
please leave and return to see her the following day as I knew where it
would lead.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•He then grabbed our dog from her lap and threw it with full force
into the side of my head where initially I thought he had punched me to
my head and I felt dizzy, to only look down to see my dog on the ground
who couldn’t get up or move, my daughter became extremely distressed and
we were crying ,I was calling around trying to get an after-hours vet, I
found one who told me Rocky may have incurred a brain injury with the
force or concussion as his body was shaking and he was very sleepy and
disorientated and wasn’t responding well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•As I put down the phone, I had to call an ambulance for my daughter
as she suffered one of the worst seizure’s she had to date which started
with severe emotional distress and palpitations and led to a full
convulsive seizure ,there will never be any doubt in my heart the
incident with her pet severely impacted on her as she was saying to her
dog please don’t die I love you ,I believe the significant trauma
brought on that major seizure where I was hysterical as I was getting
coached by 000 in what to do with my daughter she ended up in the Royal
Children’s and whilst we stayed in there ,all I could think of was
whether I was coming home to another one of our beloved dogs dead and
how could I explain that to her a 3rd time when she had witnessed her
own father inflict that upon her pet and some body she loved so dearly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS are aware that he has currently taken one of my pets and I asked
them could they get it returned fearing the worse to be told it’s not
there job!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•This time we were fortunate that he survived and must have suffered
some unconsciousness and shock and he made a full recovery thank god
& the only damage that appears to have occurred is slight damage to
his right eye, but we still have him to love and his healthy and happy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•These incidents there is no doubt have incurred severe emotional
damage, not only has she witnessed his physical abuse of myself where
she has constantly felt the need of late to apologize, saying sorry
mummy I didn’t want to go but I had to go because he was so angry and
feeling some sense of guilt about it and saying how sad it made her
feel, but she has had to witness her pets die or be injured by her own
father and even be physically abused by him at various times.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•These are things that have left severe emotional scars even with me,
how could they not affect a small venerable innocent child and how will
she perceive the world to be when experiencing such severe emotional
abuse and DHS are very aware of all of this and too date there have been
no consequences or more importantly help for our child, the greatest
victim in all of this and now they have removed her from myself the only
person that has to date that never has hurt her and has tried with all
that I am to protect her in every possible way.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•What use is any parent if they cannot protect their Children, the
one thing you would die for if need be and the only thing you most
certainly live for and love unconditionally in life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">•DHS are more than aware in case notes, discussions with our child
independently that these all things have occurred and "THEY STILL FAIL
TO PROTECT HER."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS last week were notified of a -------"SHOTGUN"------ that she had
taken and played with in her Granddads Bedroom and she had seen this gun
on more than one occasion between the Wardrobe and Wall not secured,
where she went in after a conversation with her father regarding Chopper
Read and her father saying he killed 7 people and if you do not kill
someone like him- he will kill you!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">She seen a man painting the house next door with a paint gun and
proceeded to take the -----SHOTGUN ----from the bedroom and when asked
what she was going to do with it ,she said I was going to --shoot and
kill--- him because he was a bad man.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Two days later after the police were made aware of her disclosure
they went and confiscated the Firearms from where she said it was and
another two in a safe and the gun license was cancelled due to it not
being properly secured and subsequent safety concerns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">"DHS made the decision she could return to the home as the gun was
gone and there was NO RISK and KATE LAVELLE TEAM LEADER DECIDED THERE
WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A” RISK” TO PREVENT FURTHER ACCESS WITH HER FATHER
UNTILL PROPER ASSESSMENT’S WERE MADE –Despite all of the previous
Incidents! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What 5 year old believes she can kill someone?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What 5 year old has access or has even seen a gun and when is there
going to be a need to act in the best Interest of the CHILD and protect
her from these incidents where she is being constantly abused,
emotionally & physically in every respect and their excuse is that
the "Judges that preside in the Children’s Court will not consider such
matters as significant harm or Abuse and that the father has as much
equal parenting rights as the mother.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I do not dispute that should be the case in most cases, but in
relation to these incidents then there protocol that is in the best
Interest of the Child is most certainly being breached by the Department
of Child Protection where they are significantly breaching their Duty
Of Care to my Child and putting her at further RISK OF SEVERE ABUSE.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS despite the Order stating one of their concerns are the Domestic
Violence and that the Father not attend the home because of his
impulsivity and violence, they recently of last week were supposed to
drive me to an appointment in Melbourne Royal Children’s for our
daughter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I was called by the worker and told did I feel comfortable with Peter
taking me and our daughter as she could not and had no one else to take
us and to an important review regarding what her future might entail.
My daughter needed to go and so there were no other options since I have
no family.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">It occurred to me that she did not have any concern of whether I felt
comfortable or not with him taking me, she left me with no other option
in what I regards a “be all or nothing situation “and where one minute
suited DHS as it has before to allow the perpetrator of abuse to do
things when they were unable to, yet other times it was deemed
inappropriate and what message does that give you and how do you make
sense when even DHS have no boundaries around condition’s they have
implemented on their own Orders.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then they Breach you regarding “Parents continue to Breach
Supervision Order exposing the Child to DV- “Well what are they doing
being aware of the volatility and enabling it to occur when it suits
them and when they can’t be bothered to uphold their own concerns &
then Breach you after they have impeached their own Orders by allowing
it and encouraging it in a “All or Nothing Situation when it appeases
them in doing so when they cannot provide alternative assistance “?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">There was a further incident where he had emotionally rejected her
after she said he had purchased an item and he called her a liar, she
was clinging to his leg and then he picked her up not once but 3 times
and slammed her into a daybed and she hit her back on the bed and she
was severely emotionally distressed by his rejection and asking him to
pick her up crying and whispering in his ear don’t you remember daddy
and then again he told her she was a liar and slammed her down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">How does a mother continue to see this abuse over years and the
powers to be can’t stop him or help your child and knowing in your heart
one day he will hurt her so badly if not kill her accidently and feel
in a moment of sheer despair & frustration where you are bushed to
the brink & consider taking his life in order to protect her and
stop the never ending Abuse? I have been close breaking point, I am only
human where I have begged them to stop this abuse or I will even if it
is at the expense of his life and my own take it into my own hands,
because at least I know she will be safe and for that I have been
punished by them removing my daughter and have them say my mental health
is deteriorating. Whose wouldn’t?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I ask what parents wouldn’t after ALL of these incidents, not to name
the ones that I haven’t mentioned, it is enough to push the sanest
person to the edge in order to protect their child. If my thoughts are
irrational than what the hell is DHS conduct in not being able to
protect our child from this? Which is the lesser evil and who has failed
my family here?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">DHS are in fact impeaching and breaching their own orders and where
are they being made accountable and driving people to emotional despair
and hopelessness!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">To date they have not been made accountable and unless people are
able to read what actually occurs and is hidden from the Courts, then
Children & Family’s will be at their peril where there appears to be
no accountability for those who are making the rules in relation to
choices in the best Interest of the Child and is any of this really in
hindsight in the best Interest of the child and family apart from being
detrimental in every respect. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I believe this a Breach of their own conduct and failure to “Protect”
our daughter and has caused severe damage to the family network and all
that entails.</span><br />

<span class="date">17</span>
<span class="month">Mar, 2014</span>
<span class="author">by <a href="http://rightwingnews.com/author/duanelester/" rel="author" title="Posts by Duane Lester">Duane Lester</a> </span>
I’ve been saying it for years. : There is a campaign being waged to
make pedophilia acceptable. : I know it sounds impossible, but every
day, I read something about yet another “authority” making the case that
there’s nothing abnormal about it. : <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/462604/We-can-t-prove-sex-with-children-does-them-harm-says-Labour-linked-NCCL" target="_blank">Case in point:</a><br />
<a href="http://www.rightwingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/patricia_hewitt-462604.jpg"><img alt="patricia_hewitt-462604" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94296" height="400" src="https://www.rightwingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/patricia_hewitt-462604-e1395089239246.jpg" width="98%" /></a><br />
<blockquote>
EVIDENCE has emerged that the views of the Paedophile
Information Exchange influenced policy-making at the National Council
for Civil Liberties when it was run by former Labour Health Secretary
Patricia Hewitt.<br />
…Today we publish extracts from an NCCL report written for the
Criminal Law Revision Committee in 1976 when Mrs Hewitt was general
secretary.<br />
It says: “Where both partners are aged 10 or over, but under 14, a
consenting sexual act should not be an offence. As the age of consent is
arbitrary, we propose an overlap of two years on either side of 14.<br />
“Childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in, with an adult result in no identifiable damage.<br />
“The Criminal Law Commission should be prepared to accept the
evidence from follow-up research on child ‘victims’ which show there is
little subsequent effect after a child has been ‘molested’.<br />
“The real need is a change in the attitude which assumes that all cases of paedophilia result in lasting damage.<br />
“The present legal penalties are too high and reinforce the
misinformation and prejudice. The duty of the court should be to inquire
into all the relevant circumstances with the intention, not of meting
out severe punishment, but of determining the best solution in the
interests of both child and paedophile.”<br />
Mrs Hewitt, 65, was general secretary between 1974 and 1983. After
days of intense pressure, the former Labour MP for Leicester West
finally admitted last week the NCCL was “naive and wrong” over its ties
to PIE.</blockquote>
Don’t be fooled. : Sure, this is from 1976, but that doesn’t mean you should dismiss it.<br />
It just shows you how long they’ve been fighting this fight.<br />
Think it won’t happen? : Tell me why in the comments.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">"New Zealand used to have genuine full employment but in 1984 the newly
elected Labour government turned unemployment into a tool of economic
management with the aim of controlling inflation. The policies and
institutions that sustained full employment were abandoned or
reconstructed to maximise the new policy of 5 to 6% unemployment. This
feature documentary tells the story of this transformation revealing
what lies at the heart of the modern free market economy: a deliberate

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Clinton Cash, is a feature documentary based on the Peter Schweizer book that the New York Times hailed as “The most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.”
Clinton Cash investigates how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke” after leaving the White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with over $2 billion in donations to their foundation. This wealth was accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors.

"They were more than a million Jews. Between
1946 and 1974, this million is the number of forgotten fugitives,
expelled from the Arab world, and whom history would like to forget,
while the victims themselves have hidden their fate under a veil of
modesty. The Jews have been living in Arabic lands for thousands of
years and seemed to accept their fate forever, some even considering
their survival as a miracle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But 1948, the beginning of their exodus, was also the birth of the State of Israel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And,
while the Arab armies were preparing to invade the young
refugee-country, while the survivors of the Shoah were piling up in
dangerous boats to fulfill at last the return to the land of their
dreams and their prayers, a few hundred thousand Arabs from Palestine
were getting ready to flee their home, convinced that they would return
as winners and conquerors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They were soon going to fill up the
refugee camps built on their brothers’ land, and – because of their
refusal to integrate – pass on their refugee status to the next
generations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Jews did not get any special status. They had just returned to the Land of their fathers</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And
if they came from Aden, Yemen, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia or
Libya, if they had lost everything and sometimes even relatives,
memories and cemeteries, it is in Israel and the west that they were
ready to rebuild their lives. Without ever asking for any compensation,
any right to return, or even wishing that their story be told…"</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">1</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">THIS essay examines the idea of tolerance in our advanced industrial society. The conclusion reached is that the realization of the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and
the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed. In other words, today tolerance appears again as what it was in its origins, at the beginning of the modern period--a partisan goal, a subversive liberating notion and practice. Conversely, what is proclaimed and practiced as tolerance today, is in many of its most effective manifestations serving the cause of oppression.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The author is fully aware that, at present, no power, no authority, no government exists which would translate liberating tolerance into practice, but he believes that it is the task and duty of the intellectual to recall and preserve historical possibilities which seem to have become utopian possibilities--that it is his task to break the concreteness of oppression in order to open the mental space in which this society can be recognized as what it is and does.
Tolerance is an end in itself. The elimination of violence, and the reduction of suppression to the extent required for protecting man and animals from cruelty and aggression are preconditions for the creation of a humane society. Such a society does not yet exist; progress toward it is perhaps more than before arrested by violence and suppression on a global scale. As deterrents against nuclear war, as police action against subversion, as technical aid in the fight against imperialism and communism, as methods of pacification in neo-colonial massacres, violence and suppression are promulgated, practiced, and defended by democratic and authoritarian governments alike, and the people subjected to these governments are educated to sustain such practices as necessary for the preservation of the status quo. Tolerance is extended to policies, conditions, and modes of behavior which should not be tolerated because they are impeding, if not destroying, the chances of creating an existence without fear and misery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This sort of tolerance strengthens the tyranny of the majority against which authentic liberals protested. The political locus of tolerance has changed: while it is more or less quietly and constitutionally withdrawn from the opposition, it is made compulsory behavior with respect to established policies. Tolerance is turned from an active into a passive state, from practice to non-practice: laissez-faire the constituted authorities. It is the people who tolerate the government, which in turn tolerates opposition within the framework determined by the constituted authorities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tolerance toward that which is radically evil now appears as good because it serves the cohesion of the whole on the road to affluence or more affluence. The toleration of the systematic moronization of children and adults alike by publicity and propaganda, the release of destructiveness in aggressive driving, the recruitment for and training of special forces, the impotent and benevolent tolerance toward outright deception in merchandizing, waste, and planned
obsolescence are not distortions and aberrations, they are the essence of a system which fosters tolerance as a means for perpetuating the struggle for existence and suppressing the alternatives. The authorities in education, morals, and psychology are vociferous against the increase in juvenile delinquency; they are less vociferous against the proud presentation, in word and deed and pictures, of ever more powerful missiles, rockets, bombs--the mature delinquency of a whole civilization.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">According to a dialectical proposition it is the whole which determines the truth--not in the sense that the whole is prior or superior to its parts, but in the sense that its structure and function determine every particular condition and relation. Thus, within a repressive society, even progressive movements threaten to turn into their opposite to the degree to which they accept the rules of the game. To take a most controversial case: the exercise of political rights (such as voting, letter-writing to the press, to Senators, etc., protest-demonstrations with a priori renunciation of counterviolence) in a society of total administration serves to strengthen this administration by testifying to the existence of democratic liberties which, in reality, have changed their content and lost their effectiveness. In such a case, freedom (of opinion, of assembly, of speech) becomes an instrument for absolving servitude. And yet (and only here the dialectical proposition shows its full intent) the existence. and practice of these liberties remain a precondition for the restoration of their original oppositional function, provided that the effort to transcend their (often self-imposed) limitations is intensified. Generally, the function and value of tolerance depend on the equality prevalent in the society in which tolerance is practiced. Tolerance itself stands subject to overriding criteria: its range and its limits cannot be defined in terms of the respective society. In other words, tolerance is an end in itself only when it is truly universal, practiced by the rulers as well as by the ruled, by the lords as well as by the peasants, by the sheriffs as well as by their victims. And such universal tolerance is possible only when no real or alleged enemy requires in the national interest the education and training of people in military violence and destruction. As long as these conditions do not prevail, the conditions of tolerance are ‘loaded’: they are determined and defined by the institutionalized inequality (which is certainly compatible with constitutional equality), i.e., by the class structure of society. In such a society, tolerance is de facto limited on the dual ground of legalized violence or suppression (police, armed forces, guards of all sorts) and
of the privileged position held by the predominant interests and their ‘connections’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">These background limitations of tolerance are normally prior to the explicit and judicial limitations as defined by the courts, custom, governments, etc. (for example, ‘clear and present danger’, threat to national security, heresy). Within the framework of such a social structure, tolerance can be safely practiced and proclaimed. It is of two kinds: (i) the passive toleration of entrenched and established attitudes and ideas even if their damaging effect on man and nature is evident, and (2) the active, official tolerance granted to the Right as well as to the Left, to movements of aggression as well as to movements of peace, to the party of hate as well as to that of humanity I call this non-partisan tolerance ‘abstract’ or ‘pure’ inasmuch as it refrains from taking sides--but in doing so it actually protects the already established machinery of discrimination.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The tolerance which enlarged the range and content of freedom was always partisan--intolerant toward the protagonists of the repressive status quo. The issue was only the degree and extent of intolerance. In the firmly established liberal society of England and the United States, freedom of speech and assembly was granted even to the radical enemies of society, provided they did not make the transition from word to deed, from speech to action.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Relying on the effective background limitations imposed by its class structure, the society seemed to practice general tolerance. But liberalist theory had already placed an important condition on tolerance : it. was ‘to apply only to human beings in the maturity of their faculties’. John Stuart Mill does not only speak of children and minors; he elaborates: ‘Liberty, as a principle, has no application to any state of things anterior to the time when mankind have
become capable of being improved by free and equal discussion.’ Anterior to that time, men may still be barbarians, and ‘despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians, provided the end be their improvement,
and the means justified by actually effecting that end.’ Mill’s often-quoted words have a less familiar implication on which their meaning depends: the internal connection between liberty and truth. There is a sense in which truth is the end of liberty, and liberty must be defined and confined by truth. Now in what sense can liberty be for the sake of truth? Liberty is self-determination, autonomy--this is almost a tautology, but a tautology which results from a
whole series of synthetic judgments. It stipulates the ability to determine one’s own life: to be able to determine what to do and what not to do, what to suffer and what not. But the subject of this autonomy is never the contingent, private individual as that which he actually is or happens to be; it is rather the individual as a human being who is capable of being free with the others. And the problem of making possible such a harmony between every individual liberty and the other is not that of finding a compromise between competitors, or between freedom and law, between general and individual interest, common and private welfare in an established society, but of creating the society in
which man is no longer enslaved by institutions which vitiate self-determination from the beginning. In other words, freedom is still to be created even for the freest of the existing societies. And the direction in which it must be sought, and the institutional and cultural changes which may help to attain the goal are, at least in developed civilization, comprehensible, that is to say, they can be identified and projected, on the basis of experience, by human reason.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the interplay of theory and practice, true and false solutions become distinguishable--never with the evidence of necessity, never as the positive, only with the certainty of a reasoned and reasonable chance, and with the persuasive force of the negative. For the true positive is the society of the future and therefore beyond definition arid determination, while the existing positive is that which must be surmounted. But the experience and understanding of the existent society may well be capable of identifying what is not conducive to a free and rational society, what impedes and distorts the possibilities of its creation. Freedom is liberation, a specific historical process in theory and practice, and as such it has its right and wrong, its truth and falsehood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The uncertainty of chance in this distinction does not cancel the historical objectivity, but it necessitates freedom of thought and expression as preconditions of finding the way to freedom--it necessitates tolerance. However, this tolerance cannot be indiscriminate and equal with respect to the contents of expression, neither in word nor in deed; it cannot protect false words and wrong deeds which demonstrate that they contradict and counteract the’ possibilities of liberation. Such indiscriminate tolerance is justified in harmless debates, in conversation, in academic discussion; it is indispensable in the scientific enterprise, in private religion. But society cannot be indiscriminate where the pacification of existence, where freedom and happiness themselves are at stake: here, certain things cannot be said, certain ideas cannot be expressed, certain policies cannot be proposed, certain behavior cannot be permitted without making tolerance an instrument for the continuation of servitude.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The danger of ‘destructive tolerance’ (Baudelaire), of ‘benevolent neutrality’ toward art has been recognized: the market, which absorbs equally well (although with often quite sudden fluctuations) art, anti-art, and non-art, all possible conflicting styles, schools, forms, provides a ‘complacent receptacle, a friendly abyss’* in which the radical impact of art, the protest of art against the established reality is swallowed up. However, censorship of art
and literature is regressive under all circumstances. The authentic oeuvre is not and cannot be a prop of oppression, and pseudo-art (which can be such a prop) is not art. Art stands against history, withstands history which has been the
history of oppression, for art subjects reality to laws other than the established ones: to the laws of the Form which creates a different reality--negation of the established one even where art depicts the established reality. But in its
struggle with history, art subjects itself to history: history enters the definition of art and enters into the distinction between art and pseudo-art. Thus it happens that what was once art becomes pseudo-art. Previous forms, styles, and qualities, previous modes of protest and refusal cannot be recaptured in or against a different society. There are cases where an authentic oeuvre carries a regressive political message--Dostoevski is a case in point. But then, the message is canceled by the oeuvre itself: the regressive political content is absorbed, aufgehoben in the artistic form: in the work as literature.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">[*Edgar Wind, Art and Anarchy (Faber, London, 1963).]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tolerance of free speech is the way of improvement, of progress in liberation, not because there is no objective truth, and improvement must necessarily be a compromise between a variety of opinions, but because there is an objective truth which can be discovered, ascertained only in learning and comprehending that which is and that which can be and ought to be done for the sake of improving the lot of mankind. This common and historical ‘ought’ is not immediately evident, at hand: it has to be uncovered by ‘cutting through’, ‘splitting’, ‘breaking asunder’ (dis-cutio) the given material--separating right and wrong, good and bad, correct and incorrect. The subject whose ‘improvement’ depends on a progressive historical practice is each man as man, and this universality is reflected in that of the discussion, which a priori does not exclude any group or individual. But even the all-inclusive character of liberalist tolerance was, at least in theory, based on the proposition that men were (potential) individuals who could learn to hear and see and feel by themselves, to develop their own thoughts, to grasp their true interests and rights and capabilities, also against established authority and opinion. This was the rationale of free speech and assembly. Universal toleration becomes questionable when its rationale no longer prevails, when tolerance is administered to manipulated and indoctrinated individuals who parrot, as their own, the opinion of their masters, for whom heteronomy has become autonomy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The telos of tolerance is truth. It is clear from the historical record that the authentic spokesmen of tolerance had more and other truth in mind than that of propositional logic and academic theory. John Stuart Mill speaks of the truth
which is persecuted in history and which does not triumph over persecution by virtue of its ‘inherent power’, which in fact has no inherent power ‘against the dungeon and the stake’. And he enumerates the ‘truths’ which were cruelly and
successfully liquidated in the dungeons and at the stake: that of Arnold of Brescia, of Fra Dolcino, of Savonarola, of the Albigensians, Waldensians, Lollards, and Hussites. Tolerance is first and foremost for the sake of the heretics--the historical road toward humanitas appears as heresy: target of persecution by the powers that be. Heresy by itself, however, is no token of truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The criterion of progress in freedom according to which Mill judges these movements is the Reformation. The evaluation is ex post, and his list includes opposites (Savonarola too would have burned Fra Dolcino). Even the ex post evaluation is contestable as to its truth: history corrects the judgment--too late. The correction does not help the victims and does not absolve their executioners. However, the lesson is clear: intolerance has delayed progress and has prolonged the slaughter and torture of innocents for hundreds of years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Does this clinch the case for indiscriminate, ‘pure’ tolerance? Are there historical conditions in which such toleration impedes liberation and multiplies the victims who are sacrificed to the status quo? Can the indiscriminate guaranty of political rights and liberties be repressive? Can such tolerance serve to contain qualitative social change?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I shall discuss this question only with reference to political movements, attitudes, schools of thought, philosophies which are ‘political’ in the widest sense--affecting the society as a whole, demonstrably transcending the sphere of privacy. Moreover, I propose a shift in the focus of the discussion: it will be concerned not only, and not primarily, with tolerance toward radical extremes, minorities, subversives, etc., but rather with tolerance toward majorities,
toward official and public opinion, toward the established protectors of freedom. In this case, the discussion can have as a frame of reference only a democratic society, in which the people, as individuals and as members of
political and other organizations, participate in the making, sustaining, and changing policies. In an authoritarian system, the people do not tolerate--they suffer established policies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Under a system of constitutionally guaranteed and (generally and without too many and too glaring exceptions) practiced civil rights and liberties, opposition and dissent are tolerated unless they issue in violence and/or in
exhortation to and organization of violent subversion. The underlying assumption is that the established society is free, and that any improvement, even a change in the social structure and social values, would come about in the normal course of events, prepared, defined, and tested in free and equal discussion, on the open marketplace of ideas and goods.* Now in recalling John Stuart Mill’s passage, I drew attention to the premise hidden in this assumption: free and equal discussion can fulfill the function attributed to it only if it is rational expression and development of independent thinking, free from indoctrination, manipulation, extraneous authority. The notion of pluralism and countervailing powers is no substitute for this requirement. One might in theory construct a state in which a multitude of different pressures, interests, and authorities balance each other out and result in a truly general and rational interest. However, such a construction badly fits a society in which powers are and remain unequal and even increase their unequal weight when they run their own course. It fits even worse when the variety of pressures unifies and coagulates into an overwhelming whole, integrating the particular countervailing powers by virtue of an increasing standard of living and an increasing concentration of power. Then, the laborer, whose real interest conflicts with that of management, the common consumer whose real interest conflicts with that of the producer, the intellectual whose vocation conflicts with that of his employer find themselves submitting to a system against which they are powerless and appear unreasonable. The idea of the available alternatives evaporates into an utterly utopian dimension in which it is at home, for a free society is indeed unrealistically and undefinably different from the existing ones. Under these circumstances, whatever improvement may occur ‘in the normal course of events’ and without subversion is likely to be an improvement in the direction determined by the particular interests which control the whole.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">[*I wish to reiterate for the following discussion that, de facto, tolerance is not indiscriminate and ‘pure’ even in the most democratic society The ‘background limitations’ stated on page [2 of this book?] restrict tolerance before it begins to operate. The antagonistic structure of society rigs the rules of the game. Those who stand against the established system are a priori at a disadvantage, which is not removed by the toleration of their ideas, speeches, and newspapers.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">By the same token, those minorities which strive for a change of the whole itself will, under optimal conditions which rarely prevail, will be left free to deliberate and discuss, to speak and to assemble - and will be left harmless and
helpless in the face of the overwhelming majority, which militates against qualitative social change. This majority is firmly grounded in the increasing satisfaction of needs, and technological and -mental co-ordination, which testify to the general helplessness of radical groups in a well-functioning social system.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Within the affluent democracy, the affluent discussion prevails, and within the established framework, it is tolerant to a large extent. All points of view can be heard: the Communist and the Fascist, the Left and the Right, the white and the Negro, the crusaders for armament and for disarmament. Moreover, in endlessly dragging debates over the media, the stupid opinion is treated with the same respect as the intelligent one, the misinformed may talk as long as the
informed, and propaganda rides along with education, truth with falsehood. This pure toleration of sense and nonsense is justified by the democratic argument that nobody, neither group nor individual, is in possession of the truth and capable of defining what is right and wrong, good and bad. Therefore, all contesting opinions must be submitted to ‘the people’ for its deliberation and choice. But I have already suggested that the democratic argument implies a necessary condition, namely, that the people must be capable of deliberating and choosing on the basis of knowledge, that they must have access to authentic information, and that, on this. basis, their evaluation must be the result of autonomous thought.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the contemporary period, the democratic argument for abstract tolerance tends to be invalidated by the invalidation of the democratic process itself. The liberating force of democracy was the chance it gave to effective dissent, on the individual as well as social scale, its openness to qualitatively different forms of government, of culture, education, work--of the human existence in general. The toleration of free discussion and the equal right of opposites was to define and clarify the different forms of dissent: their direction, content, prospect. But with the concentration of economic and political power and the integration of opposites in a society which uses technology as an instrument of domination, effective dissent is blocked where it could freely emerge; in the formation of opinion, in information and communication, in speech and assembly. Under the rule of monopolistic media--themselves the mere instruments of economic and political power--a mentality is created for which right and wrong, true and false are predefined wherever they affect the vital interests of the society. This is, prior to all expression and communication, a matter of semantics: the blocking of effective dissent, of the recognition of that which is not of the Establishment which begins in the. language that is publicized and administered. The meaning of words is rigidly stabilized. Rational persuasion, persuasion to the opposite is all but precluded. The avenues of entrance are closed to the meaning of words and ideas other than the established one--established by the publicity of the powers that be, and verified in their practices. Other words can be spoken and heard, other ideas can be expressed, but, at the massive scale of the conservative majority (outside such enclaves as the intelligentsia), they are immediately ‘evaluated’ (i.e. automatically understood) in terms of the public language--a language which determines ‘a priori’ the direction in which the thought process moves.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Thus the process of reflection ends where it started: in the given conditions and relations. Self-validating, the argument. of the discussion repels the contradiction because the antithesis is redefined in terms of the thesis. For example, thesis: we work for peace; antithesis: we prepare for war (or even: we wage war); unification of opposites; preparing for war is working for peace. Peace is redefined as necessarily, in the prevailing situation, including preparation for war (or even war) and in this Orwellian form, the meaning of the word ‘peace’ is stabilized. Thus, the basic vocabulary of the Orwellian language operates as a priori categories of understanding: preforming all content. These conditions invalidate the logic of tolerance which involves the rational development of meaning and precludes the ‘closing of meaning. Consequently, persuasion through discussion and the equal presentation of opposites (even where it is really, equal) easily lose their liberating force as factors of understanding and learning; they are far more likely to strengthen the established thesis and to repel the alternatives.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Impartiality to the utmost, equal treatment of competing and conflicting issues is indeed a basic requirement for decision-making in the democratic process--it is an equally basic requirement for defining the limits of tolerance. But in a democracy with totalitarian organization, objectivity may fulfill a very different function, namely, to foster a mental attitude which tends to obliterate the difference between true and false, information and indoctrination, right and wrong. In fact, the decision between opposed opinions has been made before the presentation and discussion get under way--made, not by a conspiracy or a sponsor or a publisher, not by any dictatorship, but rather by the ‘normal course of events’, which is the course of administered events, and by the mentality shaped in this course. Here, too, it is the whole which determines the truth. Then the decision asserts itself, without any open violation of objectivity, in such things as the make-up of a newspaper (with the breaking up of vital information into bits interspersed between extraneous material, irrelevant items, relegating of some radically negative news to an obscure place), in the juxtaposition of gorgeous ads with unmitigated horrors, in the introduction and interruption of the broadcasting of facts by overwhelming commercials. The result is a neutralization of opposites, a neutralization, however, which takes place on the firm grounds of the structural limitation of tolerance and within a preformed mentality. When a magazine prints side by side a negative and a positive report on the FBI, it fulfills honestly the requirements of objectivity: however, the chances are that the positive wins because the image of the institution is deeply engraved in the mind of the people. Or, if a newscaster reports the torture and murder of civil rights workers in the same unemotional tone he uses to describe the stockmarket or the weather, or with the same great emotion with which he says his commercials, then such objectivity is spurious--more, it offends against humanity and truth by being calm where one should be enraged, by refraining from accusation where accusation is in the facts themselves. The tolerance expressed in such impartiality serves to minimize or even absolve prevailing intolerance and suppression. If objectivity has anything to do with truth, and if truth is more than a matter of logic and science, then this kind of objectivity is false, and this kind of tolerance inhuman. And if it is necessary to break the established universe of meaning (and the practice enclosed in this universe) in order to enable man to find out what is true and false, this deceptive impartiality would have to be abandoned. The people exposed to this impartiality are no tabulae rasae, they are indoctrinated by the conditions under which they live and think and which they do not transcend. To enable them to become autonomous, to find by themselves what is true and what is false for man in the existing society, they would have to be freed from the prevailing indoctrination (which is no longer recognized as indoctrination). But this means that the trend would have to be reversed: they would have to get information slanted in the opposite direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For the facts are never given immediately and never accessible immediately; they are established, ‘mediated’ by those who made them; the truth, ‘the whole truth’ surpasses these facts and requires the rupture with their appearance. This rupture--prerequisite and token of all freedom of thought and of speech--cannot be accomplished within the established framework of abstract tolerance and spurious objectivity because these are precisely the factors which precondition the mind against the rupture.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The factual barriers which totalitarian democracy erects against the efficacy of qualitative dissent are weak and pleasant enough compared with the practices of a dictatorship which claims to educate the people in the truth. With all its limitations and distortions, democratic tolerance is under all circumstances more humane than an institutionalized intolerance which sacrifices the rights and liberties of the living generations for the sake of future generations. The question is whether this is the only alternative. I shall presently try to suggest the direction in which an answer may be sought In any case, the contrast is not between democracy in the abstract and dictatorship in the abstract.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Democracy is a form of government which fits very different types of society (this holds true even for a democracy with universal suffrage and equality before the law), and the human costs of a democracy are always and everywhere those exacted by the society whose government it is. Their range extends all the way from normal exploitation, poverty, and insecurity to the victims of wars, police actions, military aid, etc., in which the society is engaged--and not only to the victims within its own frontiers. These considerations can never justify the exacting of different sacrifices and different victims on behalf of a future better society, but they do allow weighing the costs involved in the perpetuation of an existing society against the risk of promoting alternatives which offer a reasonable chance of pacification and liberation. Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of
toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc. Moreover, the restoration of freedom of thought may necessitate new and rigid restrictions on teachings and practices in the educational institutions which, by their very methods and concepts, serve to enclose the mind within the established universe of discourse and behavior--thereby precluding a priori a rational evaluation of the alternatives. And to the degree to which freedom of thought involves the struggle against inhumanity, restoration of such freedom would also imply intolerance toward scientific research in the interest of deadly ‘deterrents’, of abnormal human endurance under inhuman conditions, etc. I shall presently discuss the question as to who is to decide on the distinction between liberating and repressive, human and inhuman teachings and practices; I have already suggested that this distinction is not a matter of value-preference but of rational criteria.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">While the reversal of the trend in the educational enterprise at least could conceivably be enforced by the students and teachers themselves, and thus be self-imposed, the systematic withdrawal of tolerance toward regressive and repressive opinions and movements could only be envisaged as results of large-scale pressure which would amount to an upheaval. In other words, it would presuppose that which is still to be accomplished: the reversal of the trend. However, resistance at particular occasions, boycott, non-participation at the local and small-group level may perhaps prepare the ground The subversive character of the restoration of freedom appears most clearly in that dimension of society where false tolerance and free enterprise do perhaps the most serious and lasting damage, namely in business and publicity. Against the emphatic insistence on the part of spokesmen for labor, I maintain that practices such as
planned obsolescence, collusion between union leadership and management, slanted publicity are not simply imposed from above on a powerless rank and file, but are tolerated by them and the consumer at large. However, it would be ridiculous to speak of a possible withdrawal of tolerance with respect to these practices and to the ideologies promoted by them. For they pertain to the basis on which the repressive affluent society rests and reproduces itself and its vital defenses - their removal would be that total revolution which this society so effectively repels.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">To discuss tolerance in such a society means to reexamine the issue of violence and the traditional distinction between violent and non-violent action. The discussion should not, from the beginning, be clouded by ideologies which
serve the perpetuation of violence. Even in the advanced centers of civilization, violence actually prevails: it is practiced by the police, in the prisons and mental institutions, in the fight against racial minorities; it is carried, by the defenders of metropolitan freedom, into the backward countries. This violence indeed breeds violence. But to refrain from violence in the face of vastly superior violence is one thing, to renounce a priori violence against violence, on ethical or psychological grounds (because it may antagonize sympathizers) is another. Non-violence is normally not only preached to but exacted from the weak--it is a necessity rather than a virtue, and normally it does not seriously harm the case of the strong. (Is the case of India an exception? There, passive resistance was carried through on a massive scale, which disrupted, or threatened to disrupt, the economic life of the country. Quantity turns into quality: on such a scale, passive resistance is no longer passive - it ceases to be non-violent. The same holds true for the General Strike.) Robespierre’s distinction between the terror of liberty and the terror of despotism, and his moral glorification of the former belongs to the most convincingly condemned aberrations, even if the white terror was more bloody than the red terror. The comparative evaluation in terms of the number of victims is the quantifying approach which reveals the man-made horror throughout history that made violence a necessity. In terms of historical function, there is a difference between revolutionary and reactionary violence, between violence practiced by the oppressed and by the oppressors. In terms of ethics, both forms of violence
are inhuman and evil--but since when is history made in accordance with ethical standards? To start applying them at the point where the oppressed rebel against the oppressors, the have-nots against the haves is serving the cause of actual violence by weakening the protest against it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Comprenez enfin ceci: si la violence a commencé ce soir, si l’exploitation ni l’oppression n’ont jamais existé sur terre, peut-être la non-violence affichée peut apaiser la querelle. Mais si le régime tout entier et jusqu’à vos non-
violentes pensées sont conditionnées par une oppression millénaire, votre passivité ne sert qu’à vous ranger du côté des oppresseurs.*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">{translation with help from babelfish: Understand finally this: if violence were to begin this evening, if neither exploitation nor oppression ever existed in the world, perhaps concerted non-violence could relieve the conflict. But if the whole governmental system and your non-violent thoughts are conditioned by a thousand-year-old oppression, your passivity only serves to place you on the side of the oppressors.}</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">[*Sartre, Preface to Frantz Fanon, Les Damnés de Ia Terre (Maspéro, Paris, 1961). p. 22.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The very notion of false tolerance, and the distinction between right and wrong limitations on tolerance, between progressive and regressive indoctrination, revolutionary and reactionary violence demands the statement of criteria for its validity. These standards must be prior to whatever constitutional and legal criteria are set up and applied in an existing society (such as ‘clear and present danger’, and other established definitions of civil rights and liberties), for such definitions themselves presuppose standards of freedom and repression as applicable or not applicable in the respective society: they are specifications of more general concepts. By whom, and according to what standards, can the political distinction between true and false, progressive and regressive (for in this sphere, these pairs are equivalent) be made and its validity be justified? At the outset, I propose that the question cannot be answered in terms of the alternative between democracy and dictatorship, according to which, in the latter, one individual or group, without any effective control from below, arrogate to themselves the decision. Historically, even in the most democratic democracies, the vital and final decisions affecting the society as a whole have been made, constitutionally or in fact, by one or several groups without effective control by the people themselves. The ironical question: who educates the educators (i.e. the political leaders) also applies to democracy. The only authentic alternative and negation of dictatorship (with respect to this question) would be a society in which ‘the people’ have become autonomous individuals, freed from the repressive requirements of a struggle for existence in the interest of domination, and as such human beings choosing their government and determining their life. Such a society does not yet exist anywhere. In the meantime, the question must be treated in abstracto--abstraction, not from the historical possibilities, but from the realities of the prevailing societies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I suggested that the distinction between true and false tolerance, between progress and regression can be made rationally on empirical grounds. The real possibilities of human freedom are relative to the attained stage of civilization. They depend on the material and intellectual resources available at the respective stage, and they are quantifiable and calculable to a high degree. So are, at the stage of advanced industrial society, the most rational ways of using these resources and distributing the social product with priority on the satisfaction of vital needs and with a minimum of toil and injustice. In other words, it is possible to define the direction in which prevailing institutions, policies, opinions would have to be changed in order to improve the chance of a peace which is not identical with cold war and a little hot war, and a satisfaction of needs which does not feed on poverty, oppression, and exploitation. Consequently, it is also possible to identify policies, opinions, movements which would promote this chance, and those which would do the opposite. Suppression of the regressive ones is a prerequisite for the strengthening of the progressive ones.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The question, who is qualified to make all these distinctions, definitions, identifications for the society as a whole, has now one logical answer, namely, everyone ‘in the maturity of his faculties’ as a human being, everyone who has learned to think rationally and autonomously. The answer to Plato’s educational dictatorship is the democratic educational dictatorship of free men. John Stuart Mill’s conception of the res publica is not the opposite of Plato’s:
the liberal too demands the authority of Reason not only as an intellectual but also as a political power. In Plato, rationality is confined to the small number of philosopher-kings; in Mill, every rational human being participates in the discussion and decision--but only as a rational being. Where society has entered the phase of total administration and indoctrination, this would be a small number indeed, and not necessarily that of the elected representatives of the people. The problem is not that of an educational dictatorship, but that of breaking the tyranny of public opinion and its makers in the closed society.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">However, granted the empirical rationality of the distinction between progress and regression, and granted that it may be applicable to tolerance, and may justify strongly discriminatory tolerance on political grounds (cancellation of the liberal creed of free and equal discussion), another impossible consequence would follow. I said that, by virtue of its inner logic, withdrawal of tolerance from regressive movements, and discriminatory tolerance in favor of progressive tendencies would be tantamount to the ‘official’ promotion of subversion. The historical calculus of progress (which is actually the calculus of the prospective reduction of cruelty, misery, suppression) seems to involve
the calculated choice between two forms of political violence: that on the part of the legally constituted powers (by their legitimate action, or by their tacit consent, or by their inability to prevent violence), and that on the part of
potentially subversive movements. Moreover, with respect to the latter, a policy of unequal treatment would protect radicalism on the Left against that on the Right. Can the historical calculus be reasonably extended to the justification of one form of violence as against another? Or better (since ‘justification’ carries a moral connotation), is there historical evidence to the effect that the social origin and impetus of violence (from among the ruled or the ruling classes, the have or the have-nots, the Left or the Right) is in a demonstratable relation to progress (as defined above)?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">With all the qualifications of a hypothesis based on an ‘open’ historical record, it seems that the violence emanating from the rebellion of the oppressed classes broke the historical continuum of injustice, cruelty, and silence for a
brief moment, brief but explosive enough to achieve an increase in the scope of freedom and justice, and a better and more equitable distribution of misery and oppression in a new social system--in one word: progress in civilization. The
English civil wars, the French Revolution, the Chinese and the Cuban Revolutions may illustrate the hypothesis. In contrast, the one historical change from one social system to another, marking the beginning of a new period in
civilization, which was not sparked and driven by an effective movement ‘from below’, namely, the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, brought about a long period of regression for long centuries, until a new, higher period of
civilization was painfully born in the violence of the heretic revolts of the thirteenth century and in the peasant and laborer revolts of the fourteenth century.*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">[*In modern times, fascism has been a consequence of the transition to industrial society without a revolution. See Barrington Moore, Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy (Allen Lane, London, 1963).]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">With respect to historical violence emanating from among ruling classes, no such relation to progress seems to obtain. The long series of dynastic and imperialist wars, the liquidation of Spartacus in Germany in 1919, Fascism and Nazism did not break but rather tightened and streamlined the continuum of suppression. I said emanating ‘from among ruling classes’: to be sure, there is hardly any organized violence from above that does not mobilize and activate mass support from below; the decisive question is, on behalf of and in the interest of which groups and institutions is such violence released? And the answer is not necessarily ex post: in the historical examples just mentioned, it could be and was anticipated whether the movement would serve the revamping of the old order or the emergence of the new.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left. As to the scope of this tolerance and intolerance: ... it would extend to the stage of action as well as of discussion and propaganda, of deed as well as of word. The traditional criterion of clear and present danger seems no longer adequate to a stage where the whole society is in the situation of the theater audience when somebody cries:
‘fire’. It is a situation in which the total catastrophe could be triggered off any moment, not only by a technical error, but also by a rational miscalculation of risks, or by a rash speech of one of the leaders. In past and different
circumstances, the speeches of the Fascist and Nazi leaders were the immediate prologue to the massacre. The distance between the propaganda and the action, between the organization and its release on the people had become too short. But the spreading of the word could have been stopped before it was too late: if democratic tolerance had been withdrawn when the future leaders started their campaign, mankind would have had a chance of avoiding Auschwitz and a
World War.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The whole post-fascist period is one of clear and present danger. Consequently, true pacification requires the withdrawal of tolerance before the deed, at the stage of communication in word, print, and picture. Such extreme suspension of the right of free speech and free assembly is indeed justified only if the whole of society is in extreme danger. I maintain that our society is in such an emergency situation, and that it has become the normal state of affairs. Different opinions and ‘philosophies’ can no longer compete peacefully for adherence and persuasion on rational grounds: the ‘marketplace of ideas’ is organized and delimited by those who determine the national and the
individual interest. In this society, for which the ideologists have proclaimed the ‘end of ideology’, the false consciousness has become the general consciousness--from the government down to its last objects. The small and
powerless minorities which struggle against the false consciousness and its beneficiaries must be helped: their continued existence is more important than the preservation of abused rights and liberties which grant constitutional
powers to those who oppress these minorities. It should be evident by now that the exercise of civil rights by those who don’t have them presupposes the withdrawal of civil rights from those who prevent their exercise, and that liberation of the Damned of the Earth presupposes suppression not only of their old but also of their new masters.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The forces of emancipation cannot be identified with any social class which, by virtue of its material condition, is free from false consciousness. Today, they are hopelessly dispersed throughout the society, and the fighting minorities and isolated groups are often in opposition to their own leadership. In the society at large, the mental space for denial and reflection must first be recreated. Repulsed by the concreteness of the administered society, the effort of emancipation becomes ‘abstract’; it is reduced to facilitating the recognition of what is going on, to freeing language from the tyranny of the Orwellian syntax and logic, to developing the concepts that comprehend reality. More than ever, the proposition holds true that progress in freedom demands progress in the consciousness of freedom. Where the mind has been made into a subject-object of politics and policies, intellectual autonomy, the realm of ‘pure’ thought has become a matter of political education (or rather: counter-education).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This means that previously neutral, value-free, formal aspects of learning and teaching now become, on their own grounds and in their own right, political: learning to know the facts, the whole truth, and to comprehend it is
radical criticism throughout, intellectual subversion. In a world in which the human faculties and needs are arrested or perverted, autonomous thinking leads into a ‘perverted world’: contradiction and counter-image of the established
world of repression. And this contradiction is not simply stipulated, is not simply the product of confused thinking or fantasy, but is the logical development of the given, the existing world. To the degree to which this development is actually impeded by the sheer weight of a repressive society and the necessity of making a living in. it, repression invades the academic enterprise itself, even prior to all restrictions on academic freedom. The pre-empting of the mind vitiates impartiality and objectivity: unless the student learns to think in the opposite direction, he will be inclined to place the facts into the predominant framework of values. Scholarship, i.e., the acquisition and
communication of knowledge, prohibits the purification and isolation of facts from the context of the whole truth. An essential part of the latter is recognition of the frightening extent to which history is made and recorded by and for the victors, that is, the extent to which history was the development of oppression. And this oppression is in the facts themselves which it establishes; thus they themselves carry a negative value as part and aspect of their facticity. To treat the great crusades against humanity (like that against the Albigensians) with the same impartiality as the desperate struggles for humanity means neutralizing their opposite historical function, reconciling the executioners with their victims, distorting the record. Such spurious neutrality serves to reproduce acceptance of the dominion of the victors in the consciousness of man. Here, too, in the education of those who are not yet maturely integrated, in the mind of the young, the ground for liberating tolerance is still to be created.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Education offers still another example of spurious, abstract tolerance in the guise of concreteness and truth: it is epitomized in the concept of self-actualization. From the permissiveness of all sorts of license to the child, to the
constant psychological concern with the personal problems of the student, a large-scale movement is under way against the evils of repression and the need for being oneself. Frequently brushed aside is the question as to what has to be
repressed before one can be a self, oneself. The individual potential is first a negative one, a portion of the potential of his society: of aggression, guilt feeling, ignorance, resentment, cruelty which vitiate his life instincts. If the identity of the self is to be more than the immediate realization of this potential (undesirable for the individual as a human being), then it requires repression and sublimation, conscious transformation. This process involves at each stage (to use the ridiculed terms which here reveal their succinct concreteness) the negation of the negation, mediation of the immediate, and identity is no more and no less than this process. ‘Alienation’ is the constant and essential element of identity, the objective side of the subject--and not, as it is made to appear today, a disease, a psychological condition. Freud well knew the difference between progressive and regressive, liberating and destructive repression. The publicity of self-actualization promotes the removal of the one and the other, it promotes existence in that immediacy which, in a repressive society, is (to use another Hegelian term) bad immediacy (schlechte Unmittelbarkeit). It isolates the individual from the one dimension where he could ‘find himself’: from his
political existence, which is at the core of his entire existence. Instead, it encourages non-conformity and letting-go in ways which leave the real engines of repression in the society entirely intact, which even strengthen these engines by substituting the satisfactions of private, and personal rebellion for a more than private and personal, and therefore more authentic, opposition. The desublimation involved in this sort of self-actualization is itself repressive inasmuch as it weakens the necessity and the power of the intellect, the catalytic force of that unhappy consciousness which does not revel in the archetypal personal release of frustration - hopeless resurgence of the Id which will sooner or later succumb to the omnipresent rationality of the administered world - but which recognizes the horror of the whole in the most private frustration and actualizes itself in this recognition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have tried to show how the changes in advanced democratic societies, which have undermined the basis of economic and political liberalism, have also altered the liberal function of tolerance. The tolerance which was the great achievement of the liberal era is still professed and (with strong qualifications) practiced, while the economic and political process is subjected to an ubiquitous and effective administration in accordance with the predominant interests. The result is an objective contradiction between the economic and political structure on the one side, and the theory and practice of toleration on the other. The altered social structure tends to weaken the effectiveness of tolerance toward dissenting and oppositional movements and to strengthen conservative and reactionary forces. Equality of tolerance becomes abstract, spurious. With the actual decline of dissenting forces in the society, the opposition is insulated in small and frequently antagonistic groups who, even where tolerated within the narrow limits set by the hierarchical structure of society, are powerless while they keep within these limits. But the tolerance shown to them is deceptive and promotes co-ordination. And on the firm foundations of a co-ordinated society all but closed against qualitative change, tolerance itself serves to contain such change rather than to promote it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>POSTSCRIPT 1968 </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Under the conditions prevailing in this country, tolerance does not, and cannot, fulfill the civilizing function attributed to it by the liberal protagonists of democracy, namely, protection of dissent. The progressive historical force of tolerance lies in its extension to those modes and forms of dissent which are not committed to the status quo of society, and not confined to the institutional framework of the established society. Consequently, the idea of tolerance implies the necessity, for the dissenting group or individuals, to become illegitimate if and when the established legitimacy prevents and counteracts the development of dissent. This would be the case not only in a totalitarian society, under a dictatorship, in one-party states, but also in a democracy (representative, parliamentary, or ‘direct’) where the majority does not result from the development of independent thought and opinion but rather from the monopolistic or oligopolistic administration of public opinion, without terror and (normally) without censorship. In such cases, the majority is self-perpetuating while perpetuating the vested interests which made it a majority. In its very structure this majority is ‘closed’, petrified; it repels a priori any change other than changes within the system. But this means that the majority is no longer justified in claiming the democratic title of the best guardian of the common interest. And such a majority is all but the opposite of Rousseau’s ‘general will’: it is composed, not of individuals who, in their political functions, have made effective ‘abstraction’ from their private interests, but, on the contrary, of individuals who have effectively identified their private interests with their political functions. And the representatives of this majority, in ascertaining and executing its will, ascertain and execute the will of the vested interests, which have formed the majority. The ideology of democracy hides its lack of substance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the United States, this tendency goes hand in hand with the monopolistic or oligopolistic concentration of capital in the formation of public opinion, i.e., of the majority. The chance of influencing, in any effective way, this majority is at a price, in dollars, totally out of reach of the radical opposition. Here too, free competition and exchange of ideas have become a farce. The Left has no equal voice, no equal access to the mass media and their public facilities - not because a conspiracy excludes it, but because, in good old capitalist fashion, it does not have the required purchasing power. And the Left does not have the purchasing power because it is the Left. These conditions impose upon the radical minorities a strategy which is in essence a refusal to allow the continuous functioning of allegedly indiscriminate but in fact discriminate tolerance, for example, a strategy of protesting against the alternate matching of a spokesman for the Right (or Center) with one for the Left. Not ‘equal’ but more representation of the Left would be equalization of the prevailing inequality.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Within the solid framework of pre-established inequality and power, tolerance is practiced indeed. Even outrageous opinions are expressed, outrageous incidents are televised; and the critics of established policies are interrupted by the same number of commercials as the conservative advocates. Are these interludes supposed to counteract the sheer weight, magnitude, and continuity of system-publicity, indoctrination which operates playfully through the endless commercials as well as through the entertainment?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Given this situation, I suggested in ‘Repressive Tolerance’ the practice of discriminating tolerance in an inverse direction, as a means of shifting the balance between Right and Left by restraining the liberty of the Right, thus counteracting the pervasive inequality of freedom (unequal opportunity of access to the means of democratic persuasion) and strengthening the oppressed against the oppressed. Tolerance would be restricted with respect to movements of a demonstrably aggressive or destructive character (destructive of the prospects for peace, justice, and freedom for all). Such discrimination would also be applied to movements opposing the extension of social legislation to the poor, weak, disabled. As against the virulent denunciations that such a policy would do away with the sacred liberalistic principle of equality for ‘the other side’, I maintain that there are issues where either there is no ‘other side’ in any more than a formalistic sense, or where ‘the other side’ is demonstrably ‘regressive’ and impedes possible improvement of the human condition. To tolerate propaganda for inhumanity vitiates the goals not only of liberalism but of every progressive political philosophy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> If the choice were between genuine democracy and dictatorship, democracy would certainly be preferable. But democracy does not prevail. The radical critics of the existing political process are thus readily denounced as advocating an ‘elitism’, a dictatorship of intellectuals as an alternative. What we have in fact is government, representative government by a non-intellectual minority of politicians, generals, and businessmen. The record of this ‘elite’ is
not very promising, and political prerogatives for the intelligentsia may not necessarily be worse for the society as a whole.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In any case, John Stuart Mill, not exactly an enemy of liberal and representative government, was not so allergic to the political leadership of the intelligentsia as the contemporary guardians of semi-democracy are. Mill believed that ‘individual mental superiority’ justifies ‘reckoning one person’s opinion as equivalent to more than one’:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Until there shall have been devised, and until opinion is willing to accept, some mode of plural voting which may assign to education as such the degree of superior influence due to it, and sufficient as a counterpoise to the numerical weight of the least educated class, for so long the benefits of completely universal suffrage cannot be obtained without bringing with them, as it appears to me, more than equivalent evils.*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">[*Considerations on Representative Government (Chicago: Gateway Edition,
1962), p. 183.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">‘Distinction in favor of education, right in itself’, was also supposed to preserve ‘the educated from the class legislation of the uneducated’, without enabling the former to practice a class legislation of their own.*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">[*Considerations on Representative Government (Chicago: Gateway Edition, 1962), p.181.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Today, these words have understandably an anti-democratic, ‘elitist’ sound--understandably because of their dangerously radical implications. For if ‘education’ is more and other than training, learning, preparing for the existing society, it means not only enabling man to know and understand the facts which make up reality but also to know and understand the factors that establish the facts so that he can change their inhuman reality. And such humanistic education would involve the ‘hard’ sciences (‘hard’ as in the ‘hardware’ bought by the Pentagon?), would free them from their destructive direction. In other words, such education would indeed badly serve the Establishment, and to give political prerogatives to the men and women thus educated would indeed be anti-democratic in the terms of the Establishment. But these are not the only terms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">However, the alternative to the established semi-democratic process is not a dictatorship or elite, no matter how intellectual and intelligent, but the struggle for a real democracy. Part of this struggle is the fight against an ideology of tolerance which, in reality, favors and fortifies the conservation of the status quo of inequality and discrimination. For this struggle, I proposed the practice of discriminating tolerance. To be sure, this practice already presupposes the radical goal which it seeks to achieve. I committed this petitio principii in order to combat the pernicious ideology that tolerance is already institutionalized in this society. The tolerance which is the life element, the token of a free society, will never be the gift of the powers that be; it can, under the prevailing conditions of tyranny by the majority, only be won in the sustained effort of radical minorities, willing to break this tyranny and to work for the emergence of a free and sovereign majority - minorities intolerant, militantly intolerant and disobedient to the rules of behavior which tolerate destruction and suppression.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This group, like Al-Qaeda, and others are created by authoritarians in the 'west', and, funneled through the Muslim Brotherhood specifically to ferment dischord in the Arab communities to allow for two events to take place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nonetheless, according to the BBC, the fighting has been taking place in Homs, Damascus, Aleppo, Kobane with most people fleeing to neighbouring countries. It is worth noting that NOT one Syrian has fled to the richest Arab nation in the region despite the fact that earlier this year, the Saudi Foreign Minister coming out to admit that "We do not have a problem with the Muslim Brotherhood" </span><span style="font-size: large;">(2)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ISIL CONNECTION IN BRIEF</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And yes, many of you do <i>believe</i> that ISIS & the Muslim Brotherhood are enemies on the basis that they follow this public mode of relationship. However, as the Egyptian Minister of Religious Endowments explains, it was the Muslim Brotherhood that created ISIS.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As stated in the Egyptian paper the Seventh Day on October 13th 2014, and then translated by the Clarion Project on October 19th of the same year:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Dr. Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa said that the
Muslim Brotherhood is the progenitor of the Islamic State and similar
terrorist groups. He accused the Brotherhood of disrupting education at
Egyptian universities and said the group is harmful to Islam."<span style="font-size: large;">(4)</span></span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>WHY ENGINEER THIS? </u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The first reason is of course connected to the domino theory that has been applied since the 9/11 false flag operation in 2001, which is to allow for authoritarian bombing, invasion, war racketeering etc using the destruction/rebuilding blueprint.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The jungle drums have already started beating using the Hegelian method of 'problem/reaction/solution'</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFLyVUyXkMWmb_mXs0Vh0nFgFytTUhgFydFRLUkJQE1b0R45ELB3-XRtX4GX61kCtmFFIuRNH84qCniPEmgFTyX-YQcoQuxpmhTNj4nlVa6u2ct5GR9SrX7xIvOExeyxUY29AR4UZMu8/s1600/OSBORNE+WE+MUST+BOMB+SYRIA.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFLyVUyXkMWmb_mXs0Vh0nFgFytTUhgFydFRLUkJQE1b0R45ELB3-XRtX4GX61kCtmFFIuRNH84qCniPEmgFTyX-YQcoQuxpmhTNj4nlVa6u2ct5GR9SrX7xIvOExeyxUY29AR4UZMu8/s640/OSBORNE+WE+MUST+BOMB+SYRIA.png" width="640" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">(5)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The problem is that ISIS has created a refugee crisis.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The reaction is the world authoritarian media (presuming to represent us) demanding that the government invade. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The solution is the government reluctantly agreeing that it needed to uphold the public desire for a violent resolution via invasion. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The second reason is the gradual and further restriction of the 'rights' aka privileges of the 'free' people of the west. Just as 9/11 provided the soil for the erosion of public privileges via legislative enactments, any proposed violence against Syria is likely to see the further stripping of privileges, the most recent being the restrictions on where you can travel to.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One being mooted for the future is the option to strip you of your 'citizenship' for being deemed a political criminal which is a clear violation of the Constitutional principles of having membership of a body politic as an insoluble birthright. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The third reason relates to the longer term geopolitical goal of the global spread of Islam as the 'official' peasant or feudal religion down the track as the world returns to a dark age. One of the key principles for ongoing authoritarian success is periodic reinvention of the control grid and all indications point to Islam being the exoteric religion for the global population once -if- the global government takes shape the way it is hoped to.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>WHY FILTHY RICH SAUDI ARABIA ISN'T HELPING THEIR OPPRESSED ISLAMIC COUNTRYMEN </u> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Saudi Arabia has the resources, the cultural/religious mutuality, geographical proximity and is closer to Damascus than Sydney is to Perth. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6wRIeVeC-LM1IF5kvaVKxHCJJwwkwAYRRbH-kTNg-yH7UV_aRh4ky9U9cLCAjM8hO9MEKzvtkKTzRzTeCP9ZEbz3SlEcvn5UfxT_kNG9QGu7-FRdNWYUE-d7F8fLzxp8OcQDBWQB2vA4/s1600/SYRIA+SAUDI+ARABIA.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6wRIeVeC-LM1IF5kvaVKxHCJJwwkwAYRRbH-kTNg-yH7UV_aRh4ky9U9cLCAjM8hO9MEKzvtkKTzRzTeCP9ZEbz3SlEcvn5UfxT_kNG9QGu7-FRdNWYUE-d7F8fLzxp8OcQDBWQB2vA4/s640/SYRIA+SAUDI+ARABIA.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Officially, this is because of a breakdown in political relations between Saudi Arabia and Syria, that occurred in 2012, just after the creation of ISIS. Naturally, these coincidences of time are orchestrated. The Muslim Brotherhood is a vehicle that seeks to control the behaviour of Muslims within the larger geopolitical authoritarian structures that presently exist.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Obviously it would if peace was the goal, but, if you apply the destruct/construct program on a wider scale, then you can see and appreciate that by having a destruction of land & homes then you may also appreciate that the consequential exodus of innocent Syrians is a geopolitical construct designed to legitimately grow the population number of Islamists around the world in a salami slice manner without arousing too much protest.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you are familiar with <a href="http://mikiversepolitics.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/pallywood.html">Pallywood</a> then, you are familiar how many scenes of violence against Arabs in Gaza is actually a movie set with the violence as real as it is in the wrestling or in Hollywood movies. We have seen this play out before with photos of desperate Arabs @ sea fleeing despotism in brand new fashion label brands looking like the greatest hardship they have endured is sitting still while the make up artist applies their make up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For those of you that are familiar with the practice of 'crisis acting' will know that the application of movie sets and fashioned photo shoot logic as a means of conveying and embedding political instruments and spells as a communal truth that should be readily accepted by the greater public will keenly appreciate that the Middle East is far from the only theatre that uses such open deception and lies to get people to conform to their will. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">COMMONWEALTH AGENTS from the Australian Border Force will be combining with STATE AGENTS from Victoria Police, Metro Trains, Yarra Trams, the Sheriff's Office, and the Taxi Services Commission, will be using the excuse of 'border protection' to harass, threaten and intimidate people as they pursue their peaceful and lawful pleasure in Melbourne's CBD TONIGHT-AUG 28 AND TOMORROW NIGHT-AUG 29. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fairfax media wrote that "Don Smith, ABF Regional Commander for Victoria and Tasmania, said officers will be positioned "at various locations around the CBD speaking with any individual we cross paths with".(1) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Notice that the ABF is NOT looking for people that they feel might be guilty of an immgration offence, but, EVERYONE that happens to be unfortunate enough to cross paths with Victoria Police, the ABF, or the Sheriff's Department. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Is this why the Commissioner of Victoria Police publicly asked the Victorian State Government to alter protest laws to stop people using masks for political privacy at protests or in general after the NO ROOM FOR RACISM/RECLAIM AUSTRALIA bigoted protests? </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">MIKIVERSE POLITICS, miki's former independent news web page, that was ceased in 2014, with the launch of miki's website, will henceforth, be functioning as the official political blog page for mikipedia.com.au. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Although mikipedia.com.au has been running for approximately twelve months, it has been forced into a 're-birth' as such due to political censorship at a hosting level. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What will be the new site, is presently being tested and developed, with the old site still operating to serve the public with information until the new webpage is ready to go in the not to distant future. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">RACISM has reared its ugly head again in the very heart of Melbourne last weekend @ Federation Square.</span><br />

'why exactly can't you serve us?'.. He then replied by saying 'please, I

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://reason.com/people/lauren-galik/all" rel="author">Lauren Galik </a><span class="pipe">|</span><time datetime="2014-06-20T20:37:00+00:00">Jun. 20, 2014 </time></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p402_premium">
<div class="entry postcontent">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Last year, the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) <a href="http://cironline.org/reports/female-inmates-sterilized-california-prisons-without-approval-4917">
accused</a> California of sterilizing over 140 female inmates
between 2006 and 2010 without required state approvals.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One doctor, James Heinrich, was responsible for the two-thirds
of the tubal ligation referrals during that period from the biggest
offender, Valley State prison.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Asked by CIR about his startling record, Heinrich justified the
money spent sterilizing inmates by claiming it was minimal
"compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted
children—as they procreated more." He has since been <a href="http://cironline.org/reports/calif-prison-doctor-linked-sterilizations-no-stranger-controversy-5859">
barred</a> from future prison work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Following the publication of the 2013 CIR article, California
lawmakers <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/lawmakers-call-investigation-sterilization-female-inmates-f6C10611785">
called</a> for a formal investigation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Yesterday, the California State Auditor published a <a href="https://www.auditor.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2013-120.pdf">report</a>
that confirms over a quarter of the 144 sterilizations performed on
female prisoners between 2005 and 2011 were done without obtaining
proper consent. The report only details female inmates who
underwent the sterilization procedure of tubal ligation, commonly
known as having one's "tubes tied."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In California, a tubal ligation may only be performed on an
inmate after her doctor declares it to be medically necessary and
the service is approved by two committees: one in the prison and
the other at the California Receiver's Office headquarters.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">However, according to the auditor's report, both committees
approved only one of the 144 procedures performed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In fact, the Receiver's Office wasn't even aware that inmates
were being sterilized until January 2010, when a legal advocacy
group called <a href="http://www.jnow.org/">Justice Now</a> began
alleging that medically unnecessary sterilization procedures had
been performed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Some additional findings of the California State Auditor's
report include:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Prison medical staff failed to document what was discussed with
the inmates about the procedure in all 144 cases.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Inmates' physicians did not sign the required consent form in
27 cases. A physician's signature is especially important in that
it certifies that the patient appears mentally competent and
understands the lasting effects of sterilization.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">The sterilization procedure was performed before the required
waiting period had elapsed in 18 cases. State law mandates a 30-day
waiting period between when an inmate consents to the procedure and
when the sterilization actually takes place so women don't feel
rushed or pressured.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">In six cases, there were violations related to both the consent
form and waiting period.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">These illegal sterilizations, and potential motivations of
doctors who encouraged the women to consent to them, echo
California's <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/State-s-little-known-history-of-shameful-science-2663925.php#page-1">
ugly history</a> of sterilization abuse. In 1909, the state passed
a eugenics law that allowed state officials to sterilize those
considered "feeble-minded," prisoners exhibiting sexual or moral
"perversions," and anyone with three or more criminal convictions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">California's eugenics program was apparently so "successful" that
in the 1930s, members of the German Nazi party asked California
eugenicists for advice on how to run their own program.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Between 1909 and 1964, California forcibly sterilized roughly
20,000 people. In 2003, then–Gov. Davis issued a formal <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2003/mar/12/local/me-sterile12">apology</a>
to victims of the grisly practice, which has been officially banned
since 1979.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">California legislators are currently considering <a href="http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/sen/sb_1101-1150/sb_1135_bill_20140618_amended_asm_v97.pdf">
legislation</a> that would disallow all inmate sterilizations for
purposes other than life-threatening emergencies and to cure
physical illness. Last month, the state senate approved the
measure. It is currently before the state assembly.</span><br />

<div class="body grid-eight" itemprop="articleBody">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Former prime minister Malcolm Fraser has made a radical
call for Australia to break its alliance with the United States and
become a “strategically independent” country.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">In his new book <i>Dangerous Allies</i>, released today, Fraser
warns that the ANZUS treaty – as now interpreted - might be the biggest
threat to Australia’s security, rather than its major protector.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Strategic independence would mean ending the US presence in northern
Australia, part of the American “pivot” to the Asia-Pacific region, and
closing the Pine Gap facility, which he says nowadays could be used
almost in real time to target weapons systems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Such a stance would necessitate Australia spending much more on
defence but it would not be caught up in any future conflict between the
US and China. “If a war between China and the United States were to
occur with a continuation of current policies, it would be very hard, if
not impossible, for Australia not to be involved.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fraser was a strong advocate of the alliance when he was prime
minister between 1975 and 1983, but argues that the end of the Cold War
has transformed the international situation and also that American
values have changed with the growth of its view of “American
exceptionalism”.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fraser’s bottom line is that if conflicts break out Australia should
be in a situation where it has a totally open choice about whether it
goes to war.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">He believes the alliance took Australia into costly wars, including
Vietnam (when the US did not share some vital information with
Australia), and especially Iraq, where the result “is, and was always
going to be, disastrous”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">He rejects the option that Australia should simply tell the US it
would no longer automatically follow it into future conflicts because
“we are too closely ‘intertwined with US strategies and plans.
Australian facilities are too heavily involved”.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fraser admits the US would take “the strongest possible exception” to moves such as closing Pine Gap within five years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Every pressure would be exercised on an Australian government so
that the United States would maintain strategic control. We would need
to resist such pressures and make it clear that, in our view, the risks
of a strategic alliance with the United States, of being forced into a
war that was not in our interest, were so great that we had to cut the
ties.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Writing a forward to the book former Labor foreign minister Gareth
Evans says some of Fraser’s judgements, such as that Australia should
have been a much more independent and less subservient alliance partner
in recent years, were unarguable.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Others – in particular, his conclusion that we should now go it completely alone – are much more problematic.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fraser traces Australia’s stance of “strategic dependence” from the
country’s earliest days – first, dependence on Great Britain, and then
on the US, of which it is now “strategic captive”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“I discount direct threats to Australia as a result of strategic
independence,” he writes. “It is strategic dependence that provides the
greatest problem to our future in the region.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Indeed, the current interpretation of ANZUS by Australian leaders is
paradoxical – it might be the biggest threat to our own security
despite it being presented as the guarantor of our security.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fraser does not see China as a source of future danger unless it is
provoked unreasonably. “Such provocation could come from the United
States, from Japan or, much less likely, from a flare-up in the South
China Sea. It would be a major advantage not to be tied to the United
States in such circumstances,” he writes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“An independent Australia could act much more effectively in concert
with other Western Pacific countries, on the one hand to avoid
flashpoints and points of danger, and on the other to promote
initiatives that would do much to maintain continuing peace throughout
the region.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Yet, as part of the American network, we would not be able to take
such action. We would merely be regarded as a surrogate voice of America
and therefore wield no true influence.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">He says that a strategically independent Australia would still share a
great deal with the US. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“Strategic independence does not mean ending
our relationship with America and cutting out ties. It does mean having a
different relationship, a more equal one in which we can feel free to
say no or offer a differing opinion.”</span><br />

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Queensland’s allegedly leak-prone Attorney General is
threatening the independence of the state’s judiciary, an influential
Australian body for barristers said on Saturday, amid mounting calls for
Jarrod Bleijie to resign.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Australian Bar Association president Mark Livesey QC joined a
rapidly growing chorus of legal fraternity discord in Mr Bleijie,
questioning the Attorney General’s suitability for the job following
allegations he has repeatedly leaked details of confidential
conversations to media outlets.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mr Bleijie declined to comment on the leak allegations or rising resignation pressure on Saturday.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="cT-imageLandscape">

<br />
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In a stinging attack, Mr Livesey said the process that led to
the appointment of Tim Carmody as the state’s Chief Justice had lost
him the support of the vast majority of the legal fraternity.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“The present position is untenable”, Mr Livesey said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“The Attorney General of Queensland must consider whether the
breakdown in trust can be repaired – if confidentiality in the judicial
appointment process cannot be assured he must reconsider whether he can
continue in his position.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mr Livesey’s comments came soon after the <a href="http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/barrister-quits-over-carmody-appointment-process-20140613-zs7ds.html">resignation of Queensland Bar Association president Ian Davis QC</a>,
who said he believed a conversation he had with Mr Bleijie on June 3
involving a discussion of Judge Carmody’s potential appointment had been
leaked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mr Livesey supported Mr Davis’ move.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“On Friday, Davis QC explained his belief that what he had
said in confidence to the Attorney General and a member of his staff had
been passed on inaccurately and that the Bar’s right to issue
practising certificates was threatened,” he said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“It is regrettable that Davis QC felt it necessary to resign.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“His frustration about the process and the threat made to the
Bar is understandable. His principled stance is supported by barristers
across Australia."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mr Davis also received the support of the Queensland Law Society on Friday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">President Ian Brown also expressed concern about Mr Bleijie allegedly leaking information.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“We are deeply concerned by the matters raised by Mr Davis QC
in the notice announcing his resignation to members of the Bar
Association of Queensland, particularly relating to confidentiality,” he
said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“What is of the utmost importance is the preservation of the integrity of the judiciary and our system of justice.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk accused the Attonrey
General of leaking confidential correspondence she had sent him
addressing suitable candidates for the Chief Justice Role in May.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">In addition to the conversation with Mr Davis, Mr Bleijie is
also alleged to have leaked details of a confidential conversation with
Justice Margaret McMurdo.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“I think Queenslanders should be very concerned because
no-one in this state can have a conversation with the Attorney General, a
private conversation they believe is being kept confidential, because
he will leak it,” she said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“This government is more interested in leaking than listening.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ms Palaszczuk said the drastic resignation protest action
taken by Mr Davis, a highly respected member of the Queensland Bar
Association, reflected, “a fundamental breach of confidentiality”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">In a statement, the Attorney-General’s office denied leaking Ms Palaszczuk’s letter to the media.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">“While nothing came from the Attorney-General or his office,
Annastacia Palaszczuk breached confidentiality when she publicly
disclosed her recommendations for Chief Justice during a press
conference on May 7, 2014,” the statement read.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Yesterday,
Channel Ten News aired a report entitled ‘Off The Rails’. It is
described on the website as “Exclusive vision of a passenger racially
harassing ticket inspectors on Melbourne’s public transport system.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It uses portions of a video shot and
uploaded to YouTube by Jason Macca, a gentleman who is well aware of his
rights as a human being.</span><br />
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">View the edited Channel Ten News Report here:</span></h4>
</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The video begins, “Sadly there’s been
another racial confrontation on Melbourne’s public transport system”,
yet as you can see, the video shows absolutely NO evidence of racial
abuse, nor harassment. It is all simply edited to portray the gentleman
in a particular, unfavourable light, (whilst at the same time promoting
the fact that if you’re a good citizen, you should pay to use public
transport.)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Jason Macca is a sovereign being, who
was travelling on Victoria’s public transport service. Like everyone on
this planet, Jason has the right to travel freely on the King’s highways
and byways, therefore, when asked for his ticket by the transit
officers, he refused to answer (be contracted) by the ‘Transit Police’.
Jason Macca’s refusal to answer the officers’ questions antagonises
them, and results in the transit officers placing him under arrest.
(Jason was released without arrest when arriving at the destination,
because he’d done nothing wrong.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This footage was highly manipulated by
the media channels who turned this into a “racist” attack. You can
clearly see in this video that the issue is not the transit officers’
race, but their attempt to gain jurisdiction over him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now take a look at the entire, raw footage shot by Jason, and you’ll see how it has been manipulated.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Also available for view is the behind

the reporter from Channel Ten. Watch all three videos and you’ll get a
great sense of the way the mainstream media manipulation is insidiously
part of EVERY television report you watch.</span></div>

<br />
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">More Mainstream Media Manipulation…</span></h4>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is not an isolated case. Mainstream
media manipulation is widespread. The media is censored in so many
ways. Advertisers and corporations have mass control over what you do
and don’t see. They also have the authority to pull programs from
circulation if they do not fulfil their criteria, promote a viewpoint,
or reveal a truth they feel to be inappropriate. Take for example, the
ABC’s <a href="http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/the-cholesterol-drug-war-abc-australia-bans-documentary-exposing-statin-drug-scandal/" target="_blank" title="ABC Bans Cholesterol Documentary">ban of a 2-part program recently aired on Catalyst.</a>
They have removed the videos from their website because “they breached
its impartiality standards.” They also removed them from YouTube. “<span style="color: #1b1b1b;">Part
1 caused so much controversy when it was aired that Australia’s top
medicine safety expert, Emily Banks, urged the ABC not to air the
follow-up, because it might encourage people to go off their
anti-cholesterol statin drugs. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">And the list goes on, and on and on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">For now, we’ll leave you to see the videos above, and research the
mainstream media manipulation yourself. We can’t recommend highly enough
that you use independent media as your source of truthful, uncensored
information.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>By Kevin Galalae. </b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjNpy6wlbMoCk0HpHb46rxhy6y5cQzsQcB_BD3nfFhifDH-7_RqJWBtJDHkRhHkZ1O7Xl6rrRzhI836mlYMcqCvlAyv8GL15vAJqc87A9z3CGzWiQJWQbjnq-VxtjHir12VOhbXcF5UNIQ/s640/mediacrime.jpg" width="640" /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">For over 65 years, the media has remained silent with respect to the
eugenic and genocidal methods of population control employed by
governments throughout the world under the auspices and impetus of the
United Nations and its agencies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Every now and then, as rarely as a celestial event,ethical
individuals have broken rank with the conspiracy of silence only to find
their careers come to a sudden end and no one to hearor publishtheir
stories.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">John Swinton, former Chief of Staff for the New York Times, took his
colleagues by surprise in 1953 when he made the following statement at
the New York Press Club:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in
America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is
not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did,
you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid
weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected
with. Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things,
and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions
would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my
honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four
hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to
destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at
the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily
bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an
independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the
scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance.
Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of
other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The media prostitutes have only gotten kinkier since 1953 and today’s
practitioners not only lack even a modicum of honesty but are complicit
in crimes against humanity that are without precedent in their
magnitude and indecency. If it were not for the alternative media that
has proliferated in the past ten years thanks to the World Wide Web, we
would to this day live in a state of complete ignorance and deception.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Common citizens have had to wrestle the truth from the blood-drenched
hands of journalists and editors, whose sole concern is to propagate
half-truths fed to them wholesale through the narrow pipelines of state
or corporate-controlled news agencies that are interested only in
manufacturing consent so as to maintain the illusion of democracy and
freedom.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The insidious level of complicity between the media and the political
and corporate elites has been carefully guarded. David Rockefeller,
speaking at the June 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany,
expressed his gratitude:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our
meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty
years.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the
world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those
years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march
towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the
national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What exactly have they been hiding, the innocent readers will ask?
What is exactly is hiding behind taboo words like the New World Order,
world government, the banking elite? What exactly is being discussed in
such complete secrecy at Davos, G8, or Security Council meetings? Why
are governments that purport to be free, democratic and transparent
classify millions of documents while purporting to be public servants
acting in the people’s interest? Behind secrecy hides illegality; that
much we can guess. But what illegality?We all know that economic and
political power has been consolidated at the global level and
supranational level, but very few know why and those who do know rather
than guess are part of the establishment and are keeping quiet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Well, I am not part of the establishment but have been able to
uncover the truth about the world denied us for so long. The truth is
that since the end of World War II peace and stability have been
maintained by controlling population growth to avoid a third world war
that in the nuclear age would be our last.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">To control population growth governments have had to interfere with
our reproductive systems and have done so by turning the basic elements
of life, water and food, into weapons of mass sterility, which is why
one out of five women in the West remain childless compared to one out
of thirty in India. I describe the methods they have been using for
nearly seven decades, and the new methods they have added to their
arsenal, in my first book on the subject, <i>“</i><a href="http://www.academia.edu/4828262/CHEMICAL_AND_BIOLOGICAL_DEPOPULATION"><i>Chemical and Biological Depopulation</i></a><i>”</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">This intrusion into our lives and destruction of our health has
required governments to bypass the democratic processes, as no citizen
would accept being chronically poisoned or vote for politicians
advocating legislating family size. It has also required that they
subvert the rule of law, as no national or international court could
possibly defend the poisoning of humanity. The moral complexity and
ambiguity of the Global Depopulation Policy does now allow facile
judgments for the simple reason that the geopolitical necessity of
maintaining peace and stability in a world with finite resources and an
exploding population has left our leaders with the unpalatable dilemma
of having to choose the lesser evil for the greater good. Had they done
nothing and left it in the hands of God, the world would have long
burned to ashes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">In my recently published book, “<a href="http://real-agenda.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/KILLING-US-SOFTLY2.pdf">Killing Us Softly: Causes and Consequences of the Global Depopulation Policy</a>”,
I not only expose for the first time in history the existence of a
global depopulation effort and describe its progression; I also assess
the damage done by the policy as well as outline its achievements.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I take the liberty of quoting my book:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i>“THE COST IN HUMAN LIFE”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Let us briefly review the cost in human life paid and yet to be
paid by the people of this planet as a result of the way in which our
leadership, both national and international, have pressed on.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>nearly 2 billion births covertly prevented by chemical, surgical and bacteriological means</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>more than 500 million births overtly prevented by legislation and abortion</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>more than 300 million genetic lines permanently and irrevocably shut out of procreation</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>Japan’s, Europe’s, Russia’s, North America’s, Australia’s and New Zealand’s IQ reduced by 15 to 25 points</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>10% of the populations exposed to covert chemical sterilization methods has been rendered sexually confused</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>10% of all children born in countries subjected to covert chemical sterilization have been condemned to developmental disorders</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>1 out of 5 Western women rendered infertile or
childless by a combination of chemical and psychosocial methods of
population control; compared to one out of 20 in China and 1 out of 30
in India</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>100% of the populations subjected to chemical fertility
control have damaged endocrine systems resulting in chronic illness in
at least 25% of these affected populations</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>all males subjected to chemical fertility control methods have compromised, substandard sperm</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>more than 500 million people have met with premature
deaths due to artificially high levels of morbidity and mortality
achieved through chemical, biological and bacteriological methods of
population control </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i>WHAT HAS BEEN AVERTED </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>It would be intellectually dishonest of me to pretend that the
measures taken by the Global Depopulation Policy have not saved the
world from a far worse outcome than what has been sacrificed.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>civilization would have long collapsed had the
population been allowed to grow at natural rates and an additional 2
billion people would have been born into the world between 1950 and
today</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>widespread famine would have destabilized Africa, South
America and Asia by the 1980s causing universal misery and suffering of
an order of magnitude never experienced in history</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>a Western world with a population twice as large as
today would have conquered and taken by force the resources of Africa
and South America to ensure its own survival and standard of living</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>the environmental degradation we face today would have
been twice as bad and none of the protected tracts of land that have
been set aside over the past 50 years could have been saved from
desperate exploitation</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- <i>there would have been no peace and prosperity and large areas of the world would have been annihilated by nuclear war</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>As difficult as it is to admit it, we owe the depopulation lobby
our civilization’s survival and our very lives, sickened though they
are. More than this, we owe them a world order where consensus not force
rules (most times) and where the more humane tools of monetary coercion
have replaced the brutal means of military conquest. We owe them peace
and prosperity. We also owe them our innocence, for they have allowed us
to keep our hands free of blood and our consciences unburdened by
guilt.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What I have not discussed in my book is what will happen if we do not
succeed in forcing our governments and the international community to
abandon covert chemical and biological poisoning for overt legislation
as the means by which to halt and reduce the global population to a
sustainable level.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: blue;">THE TRAGEDY TO COME</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The following projections and estimates are for the next one hundred years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- two out of four women worldwide will be infertile by 2050 and three out of four by 2100</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- two billion genetic lines will be terminated by 2050 and four billion by 2100</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- the IQ will be lowered worldwide from an average of circa
90 today to an average of 70 by 2050 and 50 by 2100 and mental
retardation will be the norm rather than the exception</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- half the population will be sexually confused</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- half the world’s children will suffer from developmental disorders by 2050</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- nine out ten people worldwide will have severely damaged
endocrine systems resulting in chronic illness in at least three
quarters of the population</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- life expectancy will sink from an average of 70 years today to 60 years by 2050 and 50 years by 2100.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">- nine out of ten males worldwide will have useless sperm</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Perhaps the most frightening aspect of this scenario is that hardly
anyone alive a century from now will have the intellectual capacity
necessary to grasp the immediate reality let alone the historical damage
done by the Global Depopulation Policy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">What has taken Nature and God eons of evolution to perfect, man will
have destroyed in just two centuries. There is no name yet in the
criminal code of any nation to describe the affront to God and Nature
caused by the devolution of man by man that the global depopulation
policy engenders.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">If we want to survive as a species and as a civilization we must all
awaken to the bitter truth and confront it without fear or hesitation.
The time to change course is now, or we shall be forever lost.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Those in the mainstream media who maintain the code of silence for
self-serving reasons are sacrificing the wellbeing of their children and
their children’s children for their own. May God forgive them for
their sins because their sons and daughters will not!</span><br />
