I am sending a copy of this to Martin Bright, the
journalist who promotes radfem interests in the Observer/Guardian. I first
came across him when he wrote in The Observer promoting the false Stinko
"statistic" that one in four wives are assaulted in their own home
by their husbands http://www.ivorcatt.com/2004.htm
. Very recently, he has written about the plight of five women who killed
themselves in prison while he ignores the 90 male deaths in prison.
I now recollect that when Melanie Phillips left the
Guardian/Observer she wrote an article in The Spectator (?) complaining
bitterly about censorship on this subject by the Observer/Guardian. Now,
of course, she is the author of our bible in this field, her 1999 book
"The Sex Change Society ...." pub. SMF (which incidentally lambasts
Stinko for falsifying statistics, in particular the 1 in 4 that Bright
promoted in The Observer.)
If Melanie was right, then it follows that Bright
has to keep to a radfem agenda if he is to continue to publish in the
Observer/Guardian.
If Bright is homosexual, as are so many in the
media, then his behaviour is understandable but still reprehensible.
Homosexuals are marginalised by the traditional family. Further, Lesbian and
homosexual relationships are notoriously violent. In order to gain the power
to adopt children, they exaggerate the violence of a father against his own
children http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/Y2DLESB.htm
, as does Sloss, the head of the family courts, who said; "The
evidence of the existence of widespread domestic assaults by one partner on the
other is incontrovertible .... There is extensive research on the large
number of women who have been victims of violence in the home and the adverse
effects upon them and upon their ability to function normally." -
see http://www.ivorcatt.com/2202.htm (Also http://www.ivorcatt.com/2206.htm
, http://www.ivorcatt.com/2201.htm ,
and "Sloss stokes the witch-craze" - www.ivorcatt.com/2210.htm
) . However, Sloss's reason for conniving in falsification
of statistics against fathers is probably to get back at her own husband for
boasting about his involvement with black girl prostitutes in Kenya http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/zbbsloss1.htm .
More simply, it is possible that Sloss's husband is violent.
What counter-pressures can we apply to anti-social
behaviour by men like Bright? They play a key part of a highly
destructive syndrome, analysed by Baskerville and Parejko.

Subject: jailing deadbeat dads
"Remember my friend whose divorce was a bloody mess.
He lost his
job and his wife insists on getting
payments?!! Now he's in the court
because the wife wants to take away
his visitation rights too. Its a
nightmare. He's refusing to
work right now and the court says this is not
permissible because he has to support
his family. Meanwhile, the wife has a
boyfriend living in HIS house and not
working. I think she's willing to
have him thrown in jail if he refuses
to work. Is this possible? Can the
courts force men to work?" -

"I think she's willing to have
him thrown in jail if he refuses to work. Is
this possible? Can the courts
force men to work?" - Yes. My "Retreat
Strategy" http://www.ivorcatt.com/2309.htm
bears on this problem.
Truncilleto (q.v.) favours it. - Ivor
The imprisonment of fathers who
refuse to work in order to generate funds to
support their children which they are
not allowed to see occurs in a number
of states in the U.S.A.
Baskerville reports on cases in the USA where
fathers have been jailed by the judge
on the grounds that the judge says the
working father could have got a job
with higher pay, and so he would have
been able to deliver more child
support for children that he is not allowed
to see. This is only one of many ways
in which Family Court Judges in the
USA trample on the U.S. Constition.
The technical term is "slavery", which
had been outlawed in the U.S.A.
following the civil war, but is now brought
back by the family courts. In the
U.S.A., a father was jailed on the grounds
that, earlier, while previously in
jail, he had not earned enough money to
supply the child support that the
judge ordered. (He had of course earned
nothing while in jail. Thus, he was
jailed for being in jail.)
The jailing of fathers who do not
earn enough is being introduced in England
at present.
Stephen Baskerville is the best
expert on this. When I left New York, I went
to see him in Washington D.C. You
would do well to get your divorced friend
to look at his website http://users.rcn.com/baskerville/
While in Baskerville's house in
Washington, Ed Truncilleto gave me a copy of
the Parejko book, "Stolen
Vows", see www.stolenvows.com
I have now bought
18 copies from Judy Parejko of Texas.
She explains how bureaucrats and
voluntary workers who think they are
helping families are actually attacking
families, as she did for six years
without realising it. Baskerville (and
Parejko) show how the Divorce
Industry/Child Protection Industry is growing
very rapidly in the USA, and is now a
multi-billion dollar industry with
multiple vested interests living off
it.

"The
astounding fact is that, with the
exception of convicted criminals, no one
today has fewer rights than fathers.
Even accused criminals have the right
to due process of law, to know the
charges against them, to a lawyer, and to
a trial. A father can be deprived of
his children, his home and life
savings, and his freedom with none of
these constitutional protections."
