ShatteredMen

Abused Men: the hidden half of domestic violence. Men have few resources in which to obtain help. In many places men are the ones arrested even if they are the only ones battered. If we do not look at both sides, we will not resolve any of this. There is seldom a conflict between two adults where both do not add to it. Shattered Men looks at BOTH sides with a focus on men.

30 Minutes to Pack And Leave Your Home Forever

30 Minutes to Pack And Leave Your Home Forever

ACFC ANALYSIS - You Have 30 Minutes to Pack And Leave Your Home ForeverThanks to Stuart Miller for forwarding this excellent Letter tothe Editor of the Irish Times from Mike Spaniola of Colorado,where the vicious agenda of a local "women's shelter" fundedby VAWA was recently revealed in a pornographic obscenityand hate crime displayed as "art" in the Boulder Public Libraryof penises strung on a clothesline with the title "Hanging ThemOut To Dry." The international scope the radical feministdomestic terrorist network is further indicated by the quotein Mike's letter from the Ottawa Citizen. These domesticterrorists have already done far more damage to WesternCivilization than Al Qaida or the Taliban ever could. Some3,000 people lost their lives at the World Trade Center, butevery day that family courts are in session in America another5,000 children lose their fathers. If you doubt the numberscheck your Almanac and divide over a million children a yearby 200 working days a year for family courts. America is byfar the worst in terms of sheer numbers, but the same bigotryand ignorance rules family courts throughout Western culture.Under VAWA, all too often this happens without even gettingto court or a shred of due process, and nothing more than 30minutes to pack and leave your home forever, often escortedby police in the middle of the night in scenes reminiscent ofNazi Germany. The police come at night because most ofthese fathers were working during the day to support theirfamilies, and had no idea that they were about to be "HungOut to Dry" under the terrorist regime of VAWA. Those whobury their heads in the sand and don't believe it could happento them are just accidents waiting to happen. Most of the lastCongress that just voted $3.5 billion for this terrorist regimedidn't know what they voted for either, and the VAWA networklaughed at Congress all the way to the bank. But anyone whodoesn't think the VAWA network is serious need only considertheir "artwork" displayed at the Boulder Public Library. Andappeasement of these domestic terrorists won't work anybetter than Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler at Munich.Like Hitler, appeasement will only intensify their orgy ofdestruction, and drive them deeper into their insanity.Most people find it hard to believe claims of many Germansthat they didn't know the Holocaust was happening at thetime. In the greatest social catastrophe in human history,half the families of America have been destroyed, but mostof the Western media continues to ignore the holocaust offamilies the same way that the German press ignored theHolocaust in Nazi Germany. We predict that when the historyof "The Radical Feminist Nightmare" is finally written, that thechapter on "The Silence of The Press" will be noted as one ofthe most significant causal factors in this stupendous socialdisaster, still largely unreported by the press.Cowardly appeasement of radical feminist terrorism byWestern politicians is probably the greatest single factordriving Islamic revulsion of America as "The Great Satan."Those who are mystified by the hatred of Islamic extremistsfor Western culture should pull the plank from their eye onthis issue. Only a small minority of Islam are suicidal lunatics,but the failure of Western culture to hold men and women toequal standards of accountability and responsibility is alegitimate criticism. The West does not have to adopt thedress code of a desert culture to uphold our best traditionsof due process and equal protection of law. But The War toEnd Terrorism cannot be won until we eliminate the domesticterrorism that continues to flourish at home under VAWA.ACFC+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +To the Irish TimesTo the editors:"You have 30 minutes to pack everything you own. If you can'tcarry it on your back, it will have to stay behind. Look aroundone last time because you may never return home again."This came from a fundraising letter by an international relieforganization about the plight of Kosovo refugees. Do you thinkthis couldn't happen in a free, peacetime society?Guess again.Today, most anyone can be forced from his or her home simplyon the accusation of spousal or child abuse. No trial, no judge, nojury. No notice. The police come knocking in the middle of thenight and you must leave. No excuses. No looking back. And thenightmare is only just beginning.If we are truly intent on solving family violence and abuse, we canno longer rely on hyperbole or hypocrisy. We need to fix the problem,not the blame, and it needs to be done by counteracting politicalpressure and campaign contributions that encourage gender profilingof the victims and perpetrators of family violence.Our civil liberties and civil rights have been eroded under falsebanner of solving human problems with political solutions. Thefollowing issues are of great concern: o mandatory arrest policies and arrests made without warrants; o court orders issued without the defendant present (ex parte); o false allegations of abuse and false imprisonment; o illegal and inequitable child custody arrangements; and o imprisonment for debt, a practice outlawed decades ago.Government agencies and private charities are funding a radicalpolitical agenda rather than rational solutions for family violenceprevention and treatment programs. This denial of civil rights andthe police-state tactics used today in the name of quelling domesticviolence are more dangerous than the problem.Most of society, for the sake of civilization, wants to preservefamilies, not tear them apart, but this is completely at odds with theagenda of taxpayer-funded radical feminist groups whose ideology isanti-male and anti-family. Perhaps the worst thing any parent cansuffer is to see his or her child damaged or abused at the hands of asystem that is supposed to protect families. Yet concerned citizensaround the globe are powerless to correct even the most obviousinfractions. Some parents are petrified of having their names madepublic because they fear the retribution of the court system!What can justify thousands of men being forced from their homesand children with nothing more than the clothes on their backs whenmany such actions are based on nothing more than hearsay orunsubstantiated allegations? These men are often also denied theright to confront their accuser, and it is often impossible to obtainwitnesses in one's defense because of protective orders.Proponents of common-sense domestic violence laws say dialogueis long overdue. They want an objective examination of the issue, onethat avoids closed-door legislative and judicial maneuvering. Butdomestic violence is now big business, providing significant revenuefor attorneys and law enforcement, social services and judicialagencies. The system hides behind a stereotype of heinous abusers,but the reality is a myriad injustices.Men are errantly labeled as primary aggressors because police andcourts treat men that way. As a result, abusive women who needtreatment view society as condoning their violent behavior, creatingfurther risk for men and children. This approach also ignores long-term contributing factors such as psychological and emotionalabuse by a woman against a man.Domestic violence laws are publicized to fit the classic definitionof recurring violence involving physical injuries. The reality is thattoday's laws are so wide ranging as to encourage injustices andfalse charges. The statistics that tell us women are being violentlyabused in great numbers in secret are coming from places that areclosed to public overview, such as shelters, crisis centers andhotlines.David Brown, senior editor for the Ottawa Citizen in Ontario, Canada(which has the most draconian of domestic-violence laws), recentlynoted that hospital workers and emergency personnel cannot verifythe publicized number of battered women. "How is it that where the'front-line workers' are open to approach, there's not a whiff of thegreat numbers emanating from shelters? How is it that, with the linesof communication I have developed into the community after 35 yearsof writing a city column, not one of them signals a secret epidemicof violence?" Brown wrote in a December 8, 2001, column. "The media has to accept much of the responsibility for turning unsubstantiated statistics into facts but, like everybody else, we're caught in confusing battle lines. How can high-profile corporations say no to buying a table at a fund-raiser when the promotion says it's to protect women from violence? Newspapers, including the Citizen, buy tables at these events, giving them legitimacy through financial support and the corporate name on the table," Brown stated.It is far past due that the international media expose and correctthese terrible injustices to which they are a party. It will require abrave and diligent effort by good-hearted and fair-minded people.I hope that such individuals exist within today's media but theevidence to-date has been sorely lacking.Mike SpaniolaVail, Colo.
