Anatomy Of A Victory Over False Domestic Violence Allegations
Published in National Writers Syndicate
Attorney David Grossack, of Newton, Massachusetts, was able to get a restraining order vacated for a college professor who was falsely accused of abuse, due in large part to simply litigating his family court case. Bravo, Attorney Grossack.
German bureaucrats take children from abused U.S. mom Call for help costs American citizen her rights to kids, maybe permanently
Published in WorldNetDaily.com
"Mom can't help you", said the bureaucrat/kidnapper as she took the children from a mother who had called for help to protect her children.
This is a story of how the German "child protection" system works in a similarly evil manner to our own in America
Black Men: They Could be Heroes - Part 2
Published in Issues and Views
It is in no one's interest for blacks ever to leave the sinkhole of poverty, or to form a robust, healthy business class. It's obviously not in the interest of those who are part of the immense social service industry—the endless stream of social workers, counselors, and growing numbers of "experts."
It's not in the interest of civil rights organizations, whose administrators earn their bread off the needy masses. Nor is it in the interest of the black middle class whose members hold up the poor to demand ever more special privileges for themselves.
The end of a black underclass would not be in the interest of academics, for whom the distressed poor provide fodder for their ever-so-clever theses, monographs, doctorates, journal articles, books, and inventive, kinky courses. A strong black business class certainly is not in the interest of politicians, black or white. The black politician, especially, is dismayed by the prospect of a strongly developed class of entrepreneurs as potential usurpers of his power and authority.
A world devoid of poor blacks is not in the interest of the mainstream media, for whom our troubles provide the most titillating morsels for those nightly news/entertainment shows and those grim serialized features that fill the pages of newspapers and magazines. The loss of an underclass is not in the interest of the increasing numbers of black entertainers whose music, routines, characterizations and talk shows are built around the existence of black pathologies.
Psychiatric Fads and Overdiagnosis
Published in Psychology Today
Shrinks are diagnosing mental illness by fads, rather than by any objective criteria. Social services and the court system are particularly susceptible to this fad, since they regard these diagnoses as reliable, rather than made up, as they actually are. Chances are, if they steal your child, or you are going through a divorce, they will nail you with some pathology. From the article:
Fads in psychiatric diagnosis come and go and have been with us as long as there has been a psychiatry. The fads meet a deeply felt need to explain, or at least to label, what would otherwise be unexplainable human suffering and deviance. In recent years the pace has picked up and false "epidemics" have come in bunches involving an ever increasing proportion of the population. We are now in the midst of at least three such epidemics- of autism, attention deficit, and childhood bipolar disorder. And unless it comes to its senses, DSM5 threatens to provoke several more (hypersexuality, binge eating, mixed anxiety depression, minor neurocognitive, and others).
