Justified outrage as Australian judge says incest, pedophilia 'may be accepted' by society

Judge Garry Neilson in support of incest and pedophilia.
An Australian judge has incurred the wrath of child protection and gay rights advocates after stating that incest and pedophilia may no longer be considered taboo - just as gay relationships are now more accepted than they were in the 1950s and 60s.

District Court Judge Garry Neilson was recorded as saying that sexual contact between adults and children or siblings may no longer be regarded by society as "unnatural" or "taboo."

Just as same-sex relationships were once considered socially unacceptable, "a jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now 'available,' not having [a] sexual partner," he said, as quoted by Australia's Fairfax Media.

Neilson said that the primary reason for incest still being a crime is the high risk of genetic abnormalities in any children born as a result of the relationships.

"But even that falls away to an extent [because] there is such ease of contraception and ready access to abortion," he said.

Comment: A sick puppy, whose views are sadly common among the global elite.

How wars always hurt the most vulnerable Americans

The centennial of World War I is a chance to remember naive predictions about how it and other fights would improve society - and the awful abuses those wars actually enabled.

The impending anniversary of the start of World War I has given historians and pundits the chance to speculate about whether we're heading for another era of mass war and redrawing of borders. Put me down as undecided. But as we prepare to dwell on the ghastliness that occurred overseas between 1914 and 1918, it's worth pausing to reflect on the ghastliness that occurred over here.

On June 30, 1918, perennial Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs was sentenced to 10 years in jail for opposing the draft. (In 1920, he won nearly a million votes while in prison; he was freed in 1921.) During the war, Cincinnati outlawed the sale of pretzels; Iowa made publicly speaking German a crime.

On August 1, 1917 in Butte, Montana, a mob seized Frank Little, who was trying to unionize copper miners for the anti-war Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). In Over Here, his wonderful book about America's wartime home front, the historian David Kennedy recounts what happened next. "Pummeled into the street, Little was tied to the rear of an automobile and dragged through the streets until his kneecaps were scraped off, then hanged from the side of a railroad trestle." While calling the lynching regrettable, the New York Times insisted that, "the IWW agitators are in effect, and perhaps in fact, agents of Germany."

Comment: If the results of war were so great for the home society, why is it that the "proposed benefits," as stated by these idiots, are so illusive? Because there are none? Instead, the wool of war is once again pulled over the public's eye and another manipulation for power and conquest takes place with few the wiser. War, a deceptive balance of "fear and protection," is the ultimate distraction for an inside power grab of rights and freedoms. Unfortunately, the grandest scheme is the one that takes place at home, the hardest to spot and the most difficult to reverse.

Boy hidden in basement details abuse, says stepmother told him she could make him disappear

Detroit, Michigan - Charlie Bothuell, the Detroit boy who went missing for 11 days and was found in his father's basement, details alleged abuse in a new petition filed with the juvenile court this week.

The petition says Charlie told investigators that he was forced to do a rigorous exercise routine including, 5000 revolutions on the elliptical trainer, 100 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 100 jumping jacks, 25 arm curls on each arm with a 25 lb. weight. He told investigators he had to complete the entire workout in under an hour or "he'd have to do the entire workout again."

Charlie also told investigators about his stepmother, Monique Dillard-Bothuell, who he said hated him. In the interview he stated that his stepmother said "she doesn't f'ing like me, and will f'ing murder me." She also said "I can make you disappear."

He told investigators that it was his stepmother who put him in the basement, the report says.

It also says that Charlie's dad, Charlie Botuell abused the boy for two years, beating him with a PVC pipe that left the boy too sore to sit or walk, and splitting open his skin.

When Charlie was found by FBI and police he stated "I was so excited when I heard they were going to move the box I was behind, because I knew they were going to find me."

The child's father, Charlie Bothuell IV and his stepmother Monique Dillard-Bothuell were in court this morning at a hearing in which the Department of Human Services has asked the court to terminate their parental rights for their two younger children, ages four-years old and 11 months. DHS is also seeking to have little Charlie's father's parental rights terminated with regard to his 12-year old son.

Scripps sister station 7 Action News asked them to respond to the abuse allegations and they would not comment. The children are now living with grandparents, but their mom and dad are allowed supervised visits.

The wholesale giant Costco has issued an order to remove all copies of Dinesh D'Souza's bestselling book, America: Imagine the World Without Her, from the shelves of its stores nationwide, WND has confirmed.

The book, in this midterm election year, is a strong rebuttal of the progressive ideology behind President Obama's policies, which have been supported by Costco co-founder and director Jim Sinegal, a major Democrat donor and a speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention that nominated the president. A Washington Post political reporter has noted Obama's "romance" with the nation's second-largest retailer.

At Amazon.com, D'Souza's book, released June 2, is ranked No. 5 overall and No. 1 in Political Commentary and Opinion.

Costco has sold more than 3,600 copies of America nationwide, with about 700 copies sold last week as D'Souza's film by the same name opened at more than 1,000 movie theaters nationwide.

But Costco's book department issued the "pull order," requiring all Costco stores nationwide to remove the book, confirmed Scott Losse, an inventory control specialist in the book department at the Costco Wholesale corporate office in Issaquah, Washington, a suburb of Seattle.

The July 1 order required all copies to be removed by July 15.

Contacted for a reaction, D'Souza was surprised to learn of the Costco decision.

"If true, this would be very odd," D'Souza said.

Stephen and Katie Stay, along with four juvenile victims were killed during the confrontation with Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, who has been charged with one count of Capital Murder.
Deputy constables say Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, has been charged with one count of capital murder (multi) in connection with the shooting of seven people, including children, at a home in Spring.

Haskell was transferred to a county jail overnight as the Harris County Precinct 4 Deputy Constable's Office released new information. The shootings happened a little after 5 p.m. Wednesday at a home in the 700 block of Leaflet in the Enchanted Oaks subdivision.

"He came to this location yesterday afternoon - late - and came under the guise of a FedEx driver wearing a FedEx shirt," said Constable Ron Hickman.

Detectives said Haskell knocked on the front door of the home and when the 15-year-old girl answered he asked for her parents. She told him they were not home and so he left.

A North Dakota pipeline has hemorrhaged about 1 million gallons of oil-drilling saltwater into the ground of a native Indian reservation, with some of the byproduct suspected to have leaked into a lake that provides drinking water.

The spill of a toxic byproduct of oil and natural gas production at the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation was discovered on Tuesday.

The cleanup is expected to last for weeks, according to Miranda Jones, vice president of environmental safety at Crestwood Midstream Services Inc. A subsidiary of Crestwood - Aero Pipeline LLC - owns the underground pipeline.

Jones believes the leak started over the Fourth of July weekend, but was only detected when the company was sorting through production loss reports, according to AP.

The American dream is over: 70 Million people would be starving in the streets without government welfare programs

Amid all the talk of recovery by politicians, economic officials and big business leaders, the fundamental numbers behind all the propaganda tell a starkly different story.

Home sales have dropped to record lows, more people are out of the workforce than anytime in the last 50 years, and cash-strapped consumers have run out of money to fuel economic growth.

By all meaningful measures the American boom times of old are gone.

A recent report from the Department of Health and Human Services suggests that we may have already reached the tipping point and that things are only going to get worse going forward.

According to the HHS, nearly half of all Americans are now dependent on some form of government benefit just to put food on the table. And of our population of 310 million, nearly one in four receive welfare benefits.

That's over 70 million people who, if the government safety nets broke down due to lack of funding or a monetary crisis, would be starving on our streets right now.

The system's denial in the face of truth: Predatory capitalism

Predatory capitalism
Contemporary capitalism is characterized by a political economy which revolves around finance capital, is based on a savage form of free market fundamentalism, and thrives on a wave of globalizing processes and global financial networks that have produced global economic oligarchies with the capacity to influence the shaping of policymaking across nations.

As a result, contemporary advanced capitalist societies are plagued by dangerous levels of income and wealth inequality, mass unemployment, rising poverty rates, social polarization, and collapsing social provisions. Furthermore, democracy and the social contract are under constant attack by the current system and there is an ongoing pressure by the corporate and financial elite to convert all public goods and services into private goods and services.

The rising inequality in advanced capitalist countries is well documented. Most recently, Thomas Piketty's publishing sensation Capital in the Twentieth-First Century, translated into English and published by Harvard University Press, provides massive data showing a widening gap between the rich and the poor, thus questioning not only the claim that the capitalist economy works for all but also underscoring the point of how dangerous the current system is to democracy itself. Indeed, a few years ago, Larry M. Bartels's Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age, published by Princeton University Press, pointed to the same gap between the rich and poor in the United States under Republican administrations.

Emergency Ukrainian refugee situation in 6 Russian regions

Six Russian regions have introduced emergency situation plans, and two more could do so soon as people keep fleeing from the combat and destruction in South East Ukraine.

A state of emergency has been declared in the Rostov, Volgograd, Astrakhan, and Stavropol regions, in the Republic of Kalmykia and in the city of Sevastopol, Deputy Emergencies Minister Vladimir Artamonov told reporters on Thursday. The current situation has also prompted the "regime of increased readiness" in Belgorod and Voronezh regions, he added.

Artamonov said the flow of refugees from Ukraine continues to grow after the Kiev authorities ended the ceasefire and started a new advance in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Because of this, the Emergencies Ministry had to organize regular flights from the regions that border Ukraine to other parts of Russia. In total, 40 regions of the Russian Federation are receiving Ukrainian refugees.

The Rostov Region, which is closest to the war-torn Ukrainian areas, was the first to introduce an emergency situation in late June.

According to the UN agency for refugees, over 110,000 people have arrived to Russia from Ukraine since the beginning of the military conflict in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. However, only about 10,000 of them have officially applied for asylum or refugee status.

Ukrainian citizens can stay in Russia for 90 days without obtaining a visa and many people have simply delayed their application and dealt with more urgent issues. Also, the arrivals could fear the lengthy process and long queues.

The Federal Migration Service has proposed a quick and simplified way to grant temporary asylum to Ukrainian refugees in a bill that was posted on the government portal for public discussion last week.

Comment: While Kiev continues its murderous campaign, Russia is actually doing something to help the civilian population of East Ukraine. What a concept! Unfortunately, it's a concept totally alien to the psychopaths in the U.S. and Kiev.
