Somebody ordered a bunch of breakins of my various residences over the years and somebody turned a blind eye to all the vandalism done to my various vehicles over the years. All this was done for the benefit of the psycho cult from hell.
The information I have been receiving lately points to Jim Spinden, who now supposedly lives in Idaho.
Apparently, he has been a secret admirer of Roger Weidner for many years.
You know what's strange. For many years the residents of Washington County, Oregon put their trust in Jim Spinden and now we find out the whole damn time he was a member of a hate group which hated most residents of Washington County.
IMAO is so pissed off at the world that now he has a post called "IMAO: I Disagree With You, So You Must Be Murderous".
Frankly, I'm shocked. Once the electrician here working on the the electric stuff learned I was shocked he said, "Stand over there and you won't be shocked, you idiot!"
If the guy would read IMAO then he too would be shocked................at how many times useless comma's are thrown into a sentence.
XRLQ thinks he's an attorney but, in reality, he's just an underground radio station in Tijuana, Mexico dedicated to overthowing the Mongolian Empire. Anyway, he has a pop quiz entitled, Con Law Pop Quiz.
Take the quiz and then don't tell me what the correct answer is because I've just been struck with the thought that I'll never be able to impersonate Arnold Schwarzenegger until I learn how to cut taxes...now....now even my invisible buddy, Harvey, is depressed.
On the quiz I put "0 - zero" because, even though I just glanced at the quiz because I was worried about the global warming which is causing horrible snow and ice storms across the US, I noticed only state criminal statutes from the state of XRLQ were being ignored without prejudice.
It's beyond me why a website would have a bunch of sonnets by some dead guy on it. Maybe it has to do with the quest for the Holy Grail Bush's "dreaded military records".
O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head, Which have no correspondence with true sight!
Don't give me that liberal, nearsighted, biased crap all you liberals are always giving us.
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled, That censures falsely what they see aright?
Stay out of those strip joints and you wouldn't have these problems.
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote, What means the world to say it is not so?
Howard Dean is not going to be president, so get over it.
If it be not, then love doth well denote Love's eye is not so true as all men's 'No.'
Yeah, I know, it's scary. But don't tell Terry McAuliffe.
How can it? O, how can Love's eye be true, That is so vex'd with watching and with tears?
Well, y'know, Wesley Clark just didn't excite some people.
No marvel then, though I mistake my view; The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.
If you're going to sound like a Democrat Party strategist, then you ought to get paid more than you're worth.
O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind, Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.
Yeah, she does have her faults but she is, after all, just a senator from New York state.
Looniest judge - Judge William R. Pounders
Looniest District Attorney - District Attorney Robert Philobosian
Looniest false accuser - Judy Johnson
Looniest prosecutor - Prosecutor Lael Rubin
Looniest Municipal Court Judge - Municipal Court Judge Aviva Bobb
Looniest false accusations by kids and the following is what the kids said they experienced and, get this, they experienced all the following without the help of hallucinogenic drugs or booze. The children were:
(Note from John Hays: I'm no super-duper leagle beagle like those geniuses in the LA DA's office, but I would have gone and asked a plumber how it was possible those kids were flushed down toilets, all the way through sewers to a place where adults, including movie stars, abused them, cleaned them up and sent them back to preschool just in time before the parents picked them up)
(Note from John Hays: I'm not a genius judge like Judge William R. Pounders, but having nuns from 40 year old photographs being fingered for abusing kids might have woke me up enough to consider that I was, at that moment, surrounded by a lot of loonies.)
Looniest trial - The McMartin Preschool Abuse Trial, the longest and most expensive criminal trial in American history. When it was all over, the government had spent seven years and $15 million dollars investigating and prosecuting a case that led to no convictions.
For size, for price, for outrage and outrageousness, you just couldn't beat the McMartin Pre-School case. Seven years in the making (and unmaking), 208 counts of child molestation right out of the pedophile's encyclopedia, seven defendants, 41 children--it was the Cecil B. DeMille extravaganza of criminal cases.
Trudy Schuett's blog has a post entitled "The problem with family courts".
She links to a post at Spiked Liberties that points out how British family courts are now pretty much dominated by Soviet style justice and that the family courts have done away with traditional legal practices such as: the right to due process, the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty, the right to be tried in public, the right to confront one's accusers, etc.
Philip Jenkins, author of Intimate Enemies: Moral Panics in Contemporary Great Britain, has noted how ideas of child abuse changed from the 1960s onwards. From the 1980s, official concerns shifted from the idea of physical to sexual abuse. He explains this development in terms of 'the influence of feminist theorists and pressure groups; of charities and interest groups, above all, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC); and of the bureaucratic needs of social services agencies.' (5) This led to the creation of agencies and units with full-time responsibility of detecting and combating child abuse. In the 1990s, attention was increasingly paid to more arcane, medicalised forms of abuse, such as the now notorious 'Munchausen syndrome by proxy'.Jenkins notes that many reforms introduced in the name of child protection in recent decades have involved sweeping attacks on traditional Anglo-American legal rights and protections. These rights include: the right to due process, the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty, the right to be tried in public, the right to confront one's accusers, and the right to 'equality of arms' (that is, not to be tried under significantly less advantageous conditions that those enjoyed by one's opponent). Other protections, such as restrictions on the use of hearsay evidence, the right to consult the expert of one's choice, and even the right to communicate in confidence with one's lawyers (legal professional privilege) also suffered.
The article goes on to say:
Our child welfare courts have therefore become accustomed to a model of therapeutic jurisprudence, in which the best interests of the child are paramount (7). This has certain analogies with a Soviet-style conception of justice, which emphasises outcomes over processes, and which requires the judge to carry out social policy, rather than act as an independent arbiter.
This has had a terrible effect on American family law courts which are, probably, more controlled by Marxist theology than most people know. A U.S. judge says:
This has ominous consequences, as a US judge explains. 'Therapeutic jurisprudence marks a major and in many ways a truly radical shift in the historic function of courts of law and the basic purpose for which they have been established under our form of government. It also marks a fundamental shift in judges' loyalty away from principles of due process and toward particular social policies. These policies are less concerned with judicial impartiality and fair hearings and more concerned with achieving particular results', writes Arthur Christean. He adds: 'There is great danger to our freedoms and way of life when courts of law abandon justice and the rule of law in favour of doing things to people for their own good and because it is deemed to be in their best interest or the best interest of the state.' (7)
The following is an excerpt from an article by Arthur G. Christean, B.S., M.S.W., J.D., who is a retired juvenile court judge currently serving as a active senior judge for both the juvenile court as well as the district court in Utah. He is the author of the manuscript The Child Welfare Reform Act of 1994: Is the Cure Worse than the Problem?
Therapeutic Jurisprudence: Embracing a Tainted IdealIn fact, upon examination therapeutic jurisprudence has more in common with the model of law practiced in the communist Soviet Union than with traditional American legal practices. The Soviet system lacked a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances, it completely undermined judicial impartiality, it packed its legal code with policy pronouncements, and it was more concerned with producing a particular outcome than ensuring an impartial process. While therapeutic jurisprudence advocates are certainly not communists, it is worth noting that embracing their model could easily lead the American justice system down the former Soviet Union's self-destructive path.
With the brouhaha brewing over the shenanigans of America's intelligence community concerning the intel about Iraq's WMD's, Military.com has an article by Joseph L. Galloway entitled "U.S. Intelligence Apparatus is Broken". He makes some pretty good points.
He says:
There's no question that the CIA got at least part of the intelligence on Iraq wrong, especially on weapons of mass destruction. If a few heads roll over this the agency headquarters, so be it. But it should be noted that the idea that Saddam Hussein both had and sought WMD was conventional wisdom in this town for at least 10 years.Bill Clinton and his wonks talked about Saddam Hussein and the threat his chemical and biological weapons posed during much of their eight years in office. It became an article of faith. Given that Saddam had actually USED poison gas to kill a whole town full of Kurds, no one had trouble believing he still had the stuff and was working to get other, deadlier weapons, including nukes.
I agree with him when Galloway says:
It is equally unlikely that anyone will get around to looking at the larger truth: Our national intelligence apparatus is broken. The country spends $45 billion a year on that machinery and gets little of what it needs in return. We buy spy satellites that cost $4 billion a copy and everyone in the world knows how to beat them; knows when they are going to be overhead; knows how to spoof them.
Today's interesting website is PARASCIENCE. There's a lot of essays posted to make you think and, possibly, to trip your trigger.
The following is an excerpt from one of the essays:
THE PSYCHOPATHIC SOCIETY #4:
THE REVENGE OF THE "C MINUS" STUDENTS!
COPYRIGHT: 1997 Alexis DolgorukiiOne of the most tragic and destructive side-effects of the loss of touch with reality so typical of the society in the United States has been the nearly complete destruction of intellectual excellence. This results from the most destructive aspect in all so-called democratic society, and that is egalitarianism. It's principle result has been the enshrinement of mediocrity and the devaluation of excellence.
Just as wine or soup is destroyed in quality by too much dilution, so too is education. What has happened is the intellectual equivalent of Economic's "Bad money drives out good", and what we have as a result, is that our Academic Establishments, as well as our so-called "Intellectual Establishments", and worst of all, the various public media and entertainment media, are now dominated by the kind of people whose intellectual achievements would place them in the lowest categories of a student body in any institution run with excellence as a goal.
In fact the public entertainment media, in movies such as "Forrest Gump", glorify, not the "c-minus" student, but the "f" student, the truly intellectually disadvantaged person. They make it appear as if this is a most desirable state to be in. It is not!
Our inept, and incompetent, and vicious society, as it flounders into oblivion today, is what I have called the "revenge of the c-minus students". I say this because in my view, the people who are teaching today, no matter what their grades were, SHOULD have been "C-" students in a reasonable system of education, and what's worse, many of them are College Professors with irrelevant and meaningless "Doctorates". This then, is what I mean by "revenge". It all started with a really marvelous ideal. That ideal was that anyone who had the potential to be benefitted by, and demonstrated the capacity to be capable of, a University Education, should be able to receive one, whether or not their parents could afford it.
How Appealing has 20 Questions for Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: up and ready for your perusal.
Under Jim Spinden's watch as a mediocre sheriff of Washington County, Oregon, Washington County became a favorite hangout of a crazy, white supremacist gang.
Under Jim Spinden's watch, did this crazy gang stash a bunch of weapons and explosives for their End of Time, imminent war against the "inferior" races in various rural areas of Washington County?
If the crazy gang did hide a bunch of weapons and explosives, did Jim Spinden know about it?
If Jim Spinden knew about it, did he have a legal or a moral obligation to inform the ATF or the FBI?
Was Jim Spinden involved in Thomas Huffman's bizarre schemes to get me drunk and then to get me to drive?
If Jim Spinden was involved with the crazy gang and Roger Weidner, did Jim Spinden engage in any actions which would protect the gang from being caught by various law enforcement authorities?
Was Jim Spinden involved in the bizarre, homophobic, racist labor practices of Stream International in Washington County?
Dean has a post about a book by Camille Paglia's entitled "Sex, Art, and American Culture" in which rape is discussed.
Rape is an act of violence and a violation of individual rights, therefore it is bad and should be outlawed. Rape is not two people getting drunk and both trying to get it on; rape is not political; rape is not a product of love or caring; rape is not just a matter of violence against one sex (ask many people who have been in prison).
I've been accused of many things, including rape, not because I ever raped anyone (I never have) or because I was violent towards a women (I haven't been) but because I "abandoned" a mentally ill woman and she wanted revenge and making false accusations, including rape, was a good way for her to get revenge. She even tried to bribe and threaten a couple of other women to falsely accuse me of various crimes. Of course she and her buddies sort of lost credibility when they started making the same false accusations against cops, judges, prosecutors, psychiatrists, the governor, a senator and many others.
Paglia writes:
Aggression and eroticism are deeply intertwined.
Maybe to her and some loony Marxist feminists, but not to most people.
Hunt, pursuit, and capture are biologically programmed into male sexuality. Generation after generation, men must be educated, refined, and ethically persuaded away from their tendency toward anarchy and brutishness.
If this were true there would never have been an agricultural based society to begin with. Most anthropologists will tell you men, women and even children seek and want an orderly society. Most families seek to have members of their family safe.
Brutishness, but not anarchy was a way of life in ancient history for the male and female slaves and peasants and prisoners of war. In most of the nations in ancient history brutishness and rapes against men and women were considered weapons of war. In recent times brutishness, anarchy and rape have occurred and are still occuring in various regions of the earth and they are usually done in societies where a small group of psychos hold power or tribal or political or religious factions are still fighting to be the small group of psychos who hold power. In societies which have some idea that individuals have certain rights there is much less brutishness, anarchy, or rape (with the exceptions of New York, Texas, or California).
As a fan of football and rock music, I see in the simple, swaggering masculinity of the jock and in the noisy posturing of the heavy-metal guitarist certain fundamental, unchanging truths about sex.
I see this swaggering in female sports or, especially, when a woman snags a guy many of her female friends want to go out with. I've even seen a lesbian swagger when she caught a particularly popular lesbian or homosexual guy who has snagged the "cute" guy. It seems all people who engage in any kind of competition swagger when they win some sort of competition, even if the competition involves getting into the Julliard School of Music. I've seen females of both major political parties swagger when they've won any kind of political office.
Masculinity is aggressive, unstable, combustible.
I guess PMS is just an old husband's tale.
It is also the most creative cultural force in history.
Individuals (with the exception of God and the Big Bang) are the most creative forces in the history. It is true, though, that many times in history women were not in a position to be able to exert cultural creativity.
You have to accept the fact that part of the sizzle of sex comes from the danger of sex.
No, I don't.
So it is woman's personal responsibility to be aware of the dangers of the world.
The world is not a place where safety is certain, so it is every individual's personal responsibility to be aware of the dangers of the world.
Notice it's not black or Hispanic women who are making a fuss about this--they come from cultures that are fully sexual and they are really realistic about sex.
That is a racist opinion that has nothing to do with reality.
I mean, wake up to reality. This is male sex. Guess what, it's hot. Male sex is hot.Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It's part of the sizzle. Girls hurl themselves at guitarists, right down to the lowest bar band. The guys are strutting. If you live in rock and roll, as I do, you see the reality of sex, of male lust and women being aroused by male lust. It attracts women. It doesn't repel them. Women have the right to freely choose and to say yes or no. Everyone should be personally responsible for what happens in life.
I was a guitarist in a bar band and I'll admit, if a guy wasn't gay and he wanted girls and he couldn't be a high school sports star, being in a band was the way to go.
I see the sexual impulse as egotistical and dominating, and therefore I have no problem understanding rape.
Rape is an act of violence. Intense emotional seduction is not an act of violence. There might be some confusion over Paglia's definition of rape and others' definition.
My Sixties attitude is, yes, go for it, take the risk, take the challenge--if you get raped, if you get beat up in a dark alley in a street, it's okay.
Being raped or beat up is never ok.
That was part of the risk of freedom, that's part of what we've demanded as women. Go with it. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and go on. We cannot regulate male sexuality. The uncontrollable aspect of male sexuality is part of what makes sex interesting. And yes, it can lead to rape in some situations. What feminists are asking for is for men to be castrated, to make eunuchs out of them. The powerful, uncontrollable force of male sexuality has been censored out of white middle-class homes. But it's still there in black culture, and in Spanish culture.
I agree with the assertion that feminists want men to be castrated, but I disagree with the rest of the comments.
It's this whole stupid feminist thing about how we are basically nurturing, benevolent people, and sex is a wonderful thing between two equals. With that kind of attitude, then of course rape is going to be a total violation of your entire life, because you have had a stupid, naive, Mary Poppins view of life to begin with. Sex is a turbulent power that we are not in control of; it's a dark force. The sexes are at war with each other. That's part of the excitement and interest of sex. It's the dark realm of the night. When you enter the realm of the night, horrible things can happen there.
She's letting her fantasies cloud her perception of reality.
You know what gets me sick and tired? The battered-woman motif. It's so misinterpreted, the way we have to constantly look at it in terms of male oppression and tyranny, and female victimization.
Scientific studies have shown that real domestic violence (assault) is in a miniscule percentage of relationships and that it occurs in lesbian relationships, homosexual relationships and heterosexual relationships. In heterosexual relationships there is about a ratio of 50% percent men and 50% percent women initiating the assault. Since it is assault, the crime of domestic violence should be treated as an assault crime.
Unfortunately, in recent years "domestic violence" has come to mean all sorts of things to a minority of people who are using the issue of domestic violence to pursue a control freak agenda, a monetary agenda and a political agenda.
Rape is a crime of assault and should not be made into a political crime in order to further an agenda described in the paragraph immediately above.
When, in fact, everyone knows throughout the world that many of these working-class relationships where women get beat up have hot sex. They ask why she won't leave him? Maybe she won't leave him because the sex is very hot. I say we should start looking at the battered-wife motif in terms of sex. If gay men go down to bars and like to get tied up, beaten up, and have their asses whipped, how come we can't allow that a lot of wives like the kind of sex they are getting in these battered-wife relationships? We can't consider that women might have kinky tastes, can we? No, because women are naturally benevolent and nurturing, aren't they?
You ever get the idea the Paglia has sex on her mind?
On a related note, check out this post by Critical Mass and this post by Semi-Intelligent Thoughts.
Most criminal profilers are of the opinion that most sisters are glad when their brothers come home from the military. However, there is a small percentage who hate it when their brothers come home from the military.
The questions of the hour are:
(1) What would be the cause for a sister to hate having a brother come home from the military?
(2) Would a sister who hates that a brother came home from the military develop such a hate for him that she would want him murdered?
(3) Could a sister develop some sort of delusion that her brother was the cause of all her problems, even though he was away for an extended period of time, and would this delusion be a motivation for wanting him to be murdered?
(4) Would this delusion and her wanting him to be murdered be enough of a motivation to try to actually murder him?
(5) If the sister knew her brother would be murdered, would she also be callous enough to try and make some money off it; for example, by urging someone to buy a life insurance policy for her brother?
We would have asked Dr. Ron Turco for his opinion, but he's too busy checking out the space aliens who kidnap Washington County, Oregon residents.
The JunkYardBlog has a post about all the negative things being said about the National Guard merely because a president was in it in his youth.
There is really nothing wrong with Bush's decision to be in the National Guard or Kerry's right to protest the war after his medal winning behavior during the Vietnam War because they were both citizens of the U.S. exercising their citizen rights.
Let's get over the Vietnam War and treat veterans of any American action with the respect they deserve.
The American government should also quit breaking its promises to veterans. "Use the vets and then discard them" is not a rational way to convince young people to join the various armed forces. As long as America is considered a beacon of freedom by the rest of the world, we are always going to have enemies.
Even though I think we're losing a lot of our freedoms, I still don't see millions of people from all over the world trying to get into many other countries.
When was the last time you heard of someone trying to break into North Korea, Cuba, or Iraq while Saddam was in power?
The U.S. Government Printing Office has put up the U.S. budget for fiscal year 2005 on its website. It's an amazing thing to behold. So is the budget.
