US Constitution not applicable to veterans: Those unable to pay child support can end up jailed without trial

(NaturalNews) Delinquent U.S. parents who fail to pay court-ordered child support, regardless of their circumstances, are not subject to the same constitutional protections as those charged with violating other laws. Even war veterans who have faithfully fulfilled their child support obligations for many years, but have suddenly lost their jobs or have otherwise come upon legitimate hard times, can be jailed without a trial — and in some states, they can even be thrown in prison arbitrarily without any sort of legal representation. MSNBC reports that while most cases of child support delinquency are presumably due to parents simply not wanting to pay, some cases involve a legitimate inability to pay. But as far as many court judges are concerned, the simple act of not paying is enough to warrant prison time, regardless of the situation. And for some down-and-out veterans, this has made their already difficult lives even worse. “I felt that with my payment history and that I had just started working, maybe I would be able to convince the judge to give me another month and a half to start making the payments again,” said 39-year-old Randy Miller, and Iraqi war veteran, to MSNBC . Miller had faithfully paid child support for more than ten years, but unexpectedly lost his job in 2009. Miller was recently hired in a new position, and had made this fact aware to the Floyd County, Ga., judge that presided over his recent court appearance, noting that he would soon be able to start making payments again. But the judge apparently did not care much for Miller’s situation, and “went ahead and decided to lock [him] up,” where he remained for three months. A similar situation occurred to 58-year-old Thomas Ball, a father and military veteran from New Hampshire, who had also faithfully paid child support for years, but lost his job unexpectedly. But in Ball’s case the situation ended in tragedy when, out of desperation, he doused himself in gasoline and lit himself on fire in front of the Cheshire County Court House where he was to be sentenced to prison for his inability to pay. These and many other cases of unconstitutional, not to mention compassionless, acts of supposed justice in enforcing child support laws are an affront to honest, hard-working individuals — many of whom are veterans — that come upon difficult times outside of their control. Rather than be treated like guilty criminals, the law must be modified to recognize the difference between inability and indifference.

All charges dropped against Detroit mom Maryanne Godboldo

(NaturalNews) All charges have been dropped against Detroit mom Maryanne Godboldo, the woman who was SWAT team raided when Child Protective Services attempted to kidnap her daughter because Maryanne refused to “treat” her with psychiatric medications. An armed standoff ensued, and Maryanne ultimately walked out of her house and was charged with multiple felony counts (http://www.naturalnews.com/032090_Maryanne_Godboldo_health_freedom.html). Listen to my interview with Maryanne about the incident at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=8B81912F9B1AD317AE3DBBD4896C61AA I also called Maryanne Godboldo, who is African American, a Civil Rights hero for standing up to government thugs who tried to kidnap her daughter. Here my audio commentary on the situation at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=97774F5C3850CF921CBD4919305AE67C In court proceedings yesterday, all charges were dropped against Maryanne. After the decision was rendered, she said, “I was very pleased with what happened today and I’m pleased Judge Giles ruled in the way that he did because justice prevailed.” The state of Michigan, however, still has custody of her daughter, so this battle is not yet won. In fact, I say that the battle is not won until the CPS workers and police officers who conducted the raid are, themselves, brought up on felony charges of attempting kidnapping . Godboldo’s court proceedings reveal the details of how the thuggish, criminally-operated state broke the law in its effort to kidnap her daughter. Low-IQ cops follow orders after looking at scrap of paper What this case reveals is that low-IQ cops, who will apparently follow any orders without any sense of whether their orders are legal, were presented with a scrap of paper by a CPS caseworker who claimed it was some kind of order authorizing the state to use force to take away Godboldo’s daughter. Except CPS was lying, as usual. In reality, “The police met the CPS worker on the street, she hands them a piece of paper that is not officially filed with the county, it has a rubber stamp, and it’s not completely filled out,” said Godboldo’s attorney. The order simply wasn’t valid, in other words. It was just a scrap of paper with no lawful validity behind it. “When you come into someone’s house and you’re taking their child, you have to be lawful,” she explained. Ah, but that’s the whole point, isn’t it? Today’s government tyrants operate OUTSIDE the law. Whether they’re raiding the Gibson Guitar factory to confiscate “illegal wood” (http://www.naturalnews.com/033454_Gibson_Guitar_armed_raid.html), running FDA armed raids on raw dairy food distribution centers (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Rawesome_Foods_armed_raids.html) or terrorizing innocent moms who grow tomatoes in their home gardens (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_Julie_Bass_home_gardening.html), it’s always done outside the law , respecting no constitutional rights of the citizens. What used to be a nation of freedom and law has very quickly devolved into one of government tyrants running around threatening innocents with guns . In every case, civil rights are violated by these tyrants, yet they are never held accountable for their actions. At best, the innocent victims of their threats of violence are let off the hook — but usually only after NaturalNews and the alternative media raise a stink about the injustices being committed. The thuggish tyrants who mastermind these illegal raids are never charged with crimes and never face justice for their own outlandish violations of not just civil rights but human rights. We demand the arrest of the law-breaking cops who conducted the illegal raid on Godboldo I believe it is time the People of America began demanding the arrest and imprisonment of government agents, CPS workers and law enforcement personnel who commit these unlawful acts. We need to see FDA heads rolling and cops put in prison for taking part in these illegal raids. Just as the East German soldiers who manned the Berlin Wall and shot escapees were guilty of war crimes, today’s cops who are merely “following orders” need to be reminded that they, too, must abide by the law of the land. And if they violate those laws by participating in illegal raids that have no basis in law, they must be brought to justice by the People, to face their own charges of criminal misconduct. After all, if we are a nation of law and justice, then those laws must apply to all men and women , not just selected ones. If the People are required to follow the law, then law enforcement personnel, government regulators and even the President himself must also follow the law. That’s what makes America a Republic (a society based on law, NOT majority rule). When those who enforce the law become lawless, then what used to be honest government breaks down into tyranny, and chaos ensues. This is where we now find ourselves in America, where laws are routinely violated by the entire executive branch of government, from the President himself (illegal wars) down to the secret FDA spies and infiltration agents who operate more like the KGB than honest Americans (http://www.naturalnews.com/033428_FDA_secret_war.html). Here at NaturalNews, we fight for justice and the rule of law. We encourage all citizens to abide by the law, and we demand that all those who work in government operate within the bounds of those same laws. And when laws are bad, we serve an activist role in working to get those laws revised (such as current marijuana prohibition laws, which are a complete failure and in desperate need of revision). NaturalNews played a pivotal role in bringing public pressure to this case involving Maryanne Godboldo. I thank all NaturalNews readers for their phone calls of support, their protests and their sharing of these stories so that people learn the truth about what’s really happening to our nation.

UNICEF using African refugee crisis to target 300,000 Kenyan children for vaccination

(NaturalNews) You never want a serious crisis to go to waste: these are the now-infamous words uttered by former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel during the early days of the currently-in-motion financial meltdown, and they are ones that ring eerily true with a new vaccination campaign taking place in Kenya. Recent reports explain that the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is taking advantage of the mass influx of refugees from Somalia into Kenya by pushing polio and measles vaccines on 300,000 Kenyan children. Extreme famines, religious persecution, and various other factors have driven hundreds of thousands of Somalians into nearby Kenya over the past several months. Many of the refugee camps taking in these migrants are now at the brink of, or have already exceeded, their maximum capacity. But even worse, say authorities, is the fact that the mass relocation is bringing about a host of new diseases, and the need to protect the children is greater than ever. On the surface, such concern and effort makes perfectly logical humanitarian sense. After all, who would oppose protecting children against potentially life-threatening illnesses? Unfortunately, UNICEF’s plan for helping during this crisis has been birthed out of the same train of thought as that of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, whose partners have literally held women and children at gunpoint to force vaccinations on them (http://www.naturalnews.com/033119_vaccinations_gunpoint.html). Nevertheless, UNICEF says it is pushing vaccines on children at this time in order to “prevent an outbreak of disease,” according to a recent Associated Press (AP) report. Refugees are potentially harboring these life threatening diseases, they say, and this is why UNICEF has announced that it will hold a two-week vaccine drive to push the shots in various parts of northern Kenya where refugees are most prevalent, including at Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp. UNICEF pushing for same ‘Millennium Development Goals’ as Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which include mass vaccinations The United Nations (UN), which presides over UNICEF, has been on a stated mission to “end poverty” as part of its eight “Millennium Development Goals” (MDG). And this international quasi-government has reined in many organizations and foundations to help achieve its goals: the other seven of which include universal education, gender equality, child health, maternal health, combating HIV and AIDS, environmental sustainability, and global partnership. And one of the group’s allies is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Why is this a big deal? Two MDGs in particular, child health and maternal health, both involve vaccinating children against diseases like measles and polio. And this does not imply vaccinating just some children, either — it means all of them. The Child Health Fact Sheet, for instance, clearly states that “[c]onsiderable progress” has been made in increasing measles vaccination rates among African children, as the 70 percent rate in 2000 has now eclipsed 81 percent in 2008. But the obvious goal is 100 percent, as the group is petitioning for ever-more money to fund its universal vaccine campaign (http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/childhealth.shtml). Likewise, the Maternal Health Fact Sheet, though it does not specifically mention vaccines, talks about increasing expectant mothers’ access to “reproductive health services, equipment, supplies and skilled healthcare workers.” These healthcare workers will not only help pregnant women achieve delivery in a safe environment, but they will also gain an easier footing in convincing mothers that their newborns need to be immediately vaccinated in order to prevent more disease (http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/maternal.shtml). Both the Child Health and Maternal Health sections appear to have been designed for the purpose of decreasing sickness and mortality, as well as improving quality of life for Africans — and on the surface, this is an admirable mission. But the devil is in the details, as one of the primary thrusts behind the UN’s health initiatives is simply to get more people vaccinated. A recent incident in Malawi, for instance, where children were forced at gunpoint to receive measles vaccines, illustrates precisely the type of “child health” that international organizations like UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are promoting (http://www.naturalnews.com/033119_vaccinations_gunpoint.html). This implies that MDGs are not optional — in other words, they will be imposed by force if necessary. Worse, one of the MDG’s stated partnerships is with the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI Alliance), whose stated purpose is to “accelerate access to vaccines, strengthen immunization systems and introduce innovative new immunization techniques.” Bill Gates made his now-infamous statements about vaccinating every child on the planet, for instance, at a recent GAVI Alliance conference (http://www.naturalnews.com/032900_Bill_Gates_vaccinations.html). So when you put all the pieces together and read between the lines, it is clear that the MDG goal of improving the health of women and children means something entirely different than simply providing them access to healthcare options. There is a much more sinister agenda at play here that involves essentially forcing things like pharmaceuticals and vaccines on the unwitting poor for profit and political gain. And UNICEF’s current efforts in Kenya appear to be just another step towards implementing universal compliance with its vaccine agenda.

Detroit mother Maryanne Godboldo found in neglect for refusing to medicate daughter with psychiatric drugs

(NaturalNews) Detroit mom Maryanne Godboldo, who was subjected to an armed SWAT team assault on her home during an attempted kidnapping by Child Protective Services, has been found in neglect today by a Wayne County juvenile court. The jury of that court was somehow persuaded to believe that Maryanne’s refusal to continue drugging her daughter with Risperdal, a mind-altering psychiatric drug used to “treat” ADHD, equated to parental neglect. It is a sad day in America when even juries are so brainwashed by Big Pharma advertising and mainstream media propaganda that they believe refusing to drug your own teenage daughter is proof of poor parenting. Judge Ronald Giles of Detroit’s 36th District Court is now due to rule on whether Godboldo should stand trial to face multiple felony charges that were leveled against her after she allegedly fired a gun in self defense when police smashed through her door and tried to kidnap her daughter at gunpoint (http://www.naturalnews.com/032091_Maryanne_Godboldo_gun_rights.html). The court system in Detroit appears to be trying to make an example out of Godboldo by sending a message: “Don’t resist tyranny.” When the state orders you to drug your children, don’t even think about saying no! If you do, armed SWAT teams will raid your house, CPS will kidnap your child, and you will be brought up on felony charges for resisting. Stay up to date on the effort to free Maryanne Godboldo at: www.justice4maryanne.com And join in the national protests happening Friday at: www.Govabuse.org CPS masterminding child trafficking network? Most Americans do not realize this, but Child Protective Services uses private contractors to kidnap children and steal them away from their homes (http://www.infowars.com/cps-warrior-nancy-schaefer-gunned-down/). These private contractors are paid “reward money” that can add up to millions of dollars a year. Many of these children are then sold into sex slavery . Even Maryanne Godboldo has now openly accused CPS of being engaged in child trafficking (http://www.naturalnews.com/032501_Maryanne_Godboldo_Child_Protective_Services.html) as well as sexually molesting her daughter (listen to interviews below). CPS child trafficking is one of the biggest untold stories in America, and the old media won’t touch it. NaturalNews continues to receive evidence pointing to the existence of a network of CPS workers and private contractors who kidnap children and sell them for profit. Far from protecting children, CPS frequently exploits those children for private gain. Listen to important interviews with Maryanne Godboldo at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=8B81912F9B1AD317AE3DBBD4896C61AA and http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=97774F5C3850CF921CBD4919305AE67C And visit www.Govabuse.org to help put an end to crimes against children being committed under the name of “public welfare.”

US pediatrician suggests government should take obese children away from their parents

(NaturalNews) A pediatrician in Boston named David Ludwig has been sharply criticized over the past week for suggesting that obese children might be taken away from their parents by state authorities for their own safety. In his article, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association , he explains that taking these children away from their natural parents and putting them in foster care might, as a “last resort,” be the most ethical choice. His article expresses concern about the over-use of bariatric surgery on children and teens, and he’s looking for an alternative solution that would help these children avoid surgery, which is dangerous and sometimes even deadly. His suggestion that the state might take these children away from their parents in some cases, however, strikes many people as over-the-top outlandish, especially given the truth that state foster care workers are, for the most part, obese people themselves! Dr. Ludwig is a practicing physician as Boston’s Children’s Hospital, where he no doubt sees an endless stream of obese children come and go. He is also a recipient of grant money from the National Institutes of Health. The article published in JAMA is entitled, “State Intervention in Life-Threatening Childhood Obesity” . Its authors are Lindsey Murtagh, JD, MPH, and David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD. Here are some of the highlights of the article, as reprinted from JAMA: • “Ubiquitous junk food marketing, lack of opportunities for physically active recreation, and other aspects of modern society promote unhealthful lifestyles in children. Inadequate or unskilled parental supervision can leave children vulnerable to these obesigenic environmental influences.” (I completely agree. Dr. Ludwig is absolutely right about this point.) • “…poor parenting is analogous to secondhand smoke in the home…” This is starting to get into dangerous territory that could justify the state kidnapping children who don’t offer “proper parenting.” By this logic, many parents who engage in home schooling could also be targeted, especially if they don’t like their children to receive vaccines or chemotherapy. • “Because of the poor outcome of conventional treatment for pediatric obesity, bariatric surgery has become increasingly considered for adolescents with type 2 diabetes. However, the long-term safety and effectiveness of this invasive procedure in adolescents remains unknown, and serious perioperative and long-term morbidity and mortality have been reported. As an alternative therapeutic approach, placement of the severely obese child under protective custody warrants discussion. ” At least he’s not calling for it to be a mandatory policy. But he is calling for “discussion” of the issue, and that’s where these things always start. He goes on to state that doctors in many states are required to contact Child Protective Services and “tattle” on the parents of obese children, resulting in those children being taken away by CPS workers: • “…mandated reporter laws may obligate physicians to contact child protective services in the cases of children for whom chronic parental neglect has resulted in severe weight-related health complications.” • “State intervention may serve the best interests of many children with life-threatening obesity, comprising the only realistic way to control harmful behaviors. …In severe instances of childhood obesity, removal from the home may be justifiable from a legal standpoint because of imminent health risks and the parents’ chronic failure to address medical problems.” Pay special attention to that last quote. In it, he reasons that using guns (“removal from the home” must always be done by men with guns) to take children away from their parents if those parents fail to “address medical problems.” Well, gee, under this logic, the states could also kidnap children if the parents don’t have them all vaccinated. It’s a dangerous slippery slope when you start calling for state intervention in families. Tearing families apart almost never results in a positive outcome. In fact, statistics show that children are many times more likely to be sexually abused while under foster care than they ever were with their original families. This doctor at least seems open to other solutions Notably, Dr. David Ludwig isn’t outright calling for the state to take away obese children en masse . Not yet, anyway. In fact, he describes such actions as something of a “last resort” and clearly talks about the truth that foster care in no way guarantees a better health outcome. (He has no idea, actually, of how terrible foster care can really be…) More importantly, he does seem to hint at some solutions that could avoid the whole situation when he says: “Ultimately, government can reduce the need for such interventions through investments in the social infrastructure and policies to improve diet and promote physical activity among children.” There is a lot of truth in this statement. And yet it doesn’t go quite far enough. Allow me to explain, in blunt, uncensored language, what really needs to happen in America if we are to save our children from runaway obesity and diabetes. Why I oppose state medical intervention into the privacy of families And in the mean time, I want to be clearly on the record saying that I completely oppose state intervention in families for “medical reasons.” We’ve already seen states POISON teenagers with chemotherapy (at gunpoint, essentially) while charging their natural parents with kidnapping for trying to protect their own children from out-of-control cancer doctors (http://www.naturalnews.com/019617.html). We’ve also seen states go crazy and threaten parents with jail time for not vaccinating their children (http://www.naturalnews.com/022267.html). We also watched Maryanne Godboldo charged with multiple felony crimes for merely trying to prevent her own daughter from being kidnapper by state authorities who were trying to drug her with mind-altering psychotropics (http://www.naturalnews.com/032091_Maryanne_Godboldo_gun_rights.html). The track record of states intervening in families is a terrible one. And I don’t even have the space in this story to get into the more jaw-dropping truths about Child Protective Services — an organization that is heavily engaged in child trafficking and so-called “white slavery” (the selling of children to the wealthy elite who use them as objects of perverted stimulation, so to speak). (http://thetruthproject.us/2007/05/24/dyncorp-haliburton-sex-slave-trade-scandal/) Real solutions to our nation’s obesity epidemic What we need now are real solutions that seek to end our nation’s obesity epidemic at the source: The food and media companies that peddle poison to the population. Here’s my action item wish list of steps I’d love to see take place to protect our children’s future: STEP ONE: Form an armed citizens’ brigade of fed-up parents to march into the headquarters of all the processed junk food companies and fast food companies that push onto our children high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, aspartame, artificial food colors and all the other synthetic chemical additives that destroy human health. Make citizens’ arrests of all the corporate CEOs and top executives at these companies, which should include Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald’s, Burger King, etc. If they resist, charge them with resisting arrest, of course! STEP TWO: Hold public trials where these corporate CEOs face charges of poisoning the population with their toxic, refined, nutrient-depleted junk food products that promote degenerative disease and have crippled our nation’s economy through runaway health care costs. STEP THREE: While all this is going on, have the armed citizens’ brigade march into the executive offices of all the mainstream media outlets that advertise and promote all this crap food. Arrest their CEOs for conspiracy to engage in the mass poisoning of our children by promoting toxic junk foods. Charge them with felony crimes and hold public trials for them as well. Send a message that any company caught promoting processed junk foods, sodas or obesity-causing products will be targeted for citizens’ arrest. Yes, even those who routinely advertise obesity-promoting foods are GUILTY of conspiracy to harm our children . STEP FOUR: Make it publicly known that any company engaged in the promotion or production of obesity-inducing synthetic chemicals or highly-refined food ingredients will be targeted for arrest and prosecution by the armed citizens’ brigade; sort of a “People’s Army” of armed parents who are fed up with the corruption and the mass poisoning of their children and who are willing to enforce common law to protect our children from criminal corporate CEOs in the food industry and the mainstream media. These four steps, of course, may seem entirely unlikely to happen right now. But there will be a day in the not-so-near future when society as we know it collapses under economic bankruptcy, and justice will be dealt out by local groups of concerned citizens who adhere to common law (and common sense!) rather than the perverse and outdated federal laws that protect all the world’s largest and most evil corporations. When the People take back their power to govern their own lives, you can bet there will be citizens’ law enforcement groups that will do what is necessary to protect their children from the mass poisoning of the food supply that has been allowed under the FDA and the obscenely corrupt U.S. federal government.

Folic acid during pregnancy may reduce baby’s cancer risk

(NaturalNews) The importance of maintaining high intake levels of folic acid during pregnancy has been established by numerous scientific studies, all of which verify that the vitamin directly affects the intelligence and physical health of the child later in life. And now a new study adds to this body of evidence, showing a 64 percent reduction in colon cancer rates among children whose mothers supplemented with folic acid during pregnancy. Published in the journal Gut , the new study exhibits positive benefits to taking folic acid, a B-vitamin which is found naturally in leafy-green vegetables, lentils, and beans. Besides helping to prevent birth defects, folate is known to make and help replicate DNA, as well as aid in the production of new blood cells. “It appears that giving folic acid during pregnancy and lactation reduces DNA damage and suppresses the proliferation of cells in the colon,” said Dr. Young-in Kim, gastroenterologist at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto and author of the study. “It actually increases the stability of the DNA and this might be one of the mechanisms of how folic acid in utero may protect against colon cancer.” A 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that folic acid supplementation during pregnancy aids in producing children with improved brain development and better motor skills (http://www.naturalnews.com/030843_folic_acid_motor_skills.html). And in 2006, a study published in the peer-reviewed journal CANCER found that folic acid helps to prevent and treat cancer in general (http://www.naturalnews.com/019986_cancer_folate_folic_acid.html). “Folic acid … is essential in DNA synthesis and in the way in which genes are expressed,” writes James Scala, PhD, in his book 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer: A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being . “Data … indicates folic acid shortfalls predispose people to cancer.” Sources for this story include: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-05/tes-dmh052711.php

Court files prove Maryanne Godboldo had full legal authority to stop administering dangerous drugs to daughter; CPS raid nothing but illegal…

(NaturalNews) New developments in the case of Maryanne Godboldo — the Detroit, Mich., woman whose house was recently raided by a SWAT team with a tank, and whose daughter was subsequently kidnapped by these armed terrorists — are set to hopefully clear the mother of any wrongdoing in the matter (http://www.naturalnews.com/032090_Maryanne_Godboldo_health_freedom.html). Recently-released court documents prove that the consent form Maryanne signed agreeing to give her daughter the highly-dangerous anti-psychotic drug Risperdal was optional, and that she was always free to cease using them at any time. In other words, the raid conducted by state-sanctioned thugs on behalf of Child Protective Services (CPS) was nothing more than an illegal kidnapping by armed terrorists who violated Maryanne and her family’s legal, civil, and God-given rights. At this point, Maryanne truly has a fully-validated case against CPS and its criminal cabal, should she decide to pursue aggressive legal action against them. After all, they illegally broke into Maryanne’s home and proceeded to kidnap her child without just cause. The consent document Maryanne signed clearly states that she would “not be forced” to administer the medication, and that her daughter was free to “stop taking it at any time.” Maryanne had also consulted with another doctor, who recommended that she stop using the deadly drug and instead pursue alternative options — which clearly proves that the child was not being neglected as some have accused. “I think that document proves our case,” said Wanda Evans, Maryanne’s lawyer in the case. “She understood she had a right to stop giving the medication. If you sign an informed consent that says you can stop, and you stop, you did the right thing, and CPS is just being nasty.” According to reports, Maryanne’s daughter, Ariana, is still being held in captivity at a CPS facility in Northville, Mich. Supporters from around the country continue to raise money to help Maryanne’s legal battle to free her daughter, and you can help support these efforts by visiting: http://justice4maryanne.com/ Sources for this story include: http://www.cchrint.org/2011/04/22/court-files-vindicate-detroit-mom-in-stand-off-with-police-she-had-legal-authority-to-stop-daughters-drugging/

Napolitano says TSA inappropriately touching a 6-year-old was completely professional

(NaturalNews.com) – In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks which involved the use of commercial jetliners as guided missiles, few Americans objected to the government’s quest to make our airports more secure. But then, surely few of us also imagined that the agency created to provide airport security would ever consider a 6-year-old child to be a prime terrorist suspect, or that its agents would be able to feel that child up publicly in the name of “national security.” And yet, that’s precisely what has happened. Worse, it was an act legitimized by the agency’s highest-ranking official. Earlier this month, in a YouTube video that went viral , a female Transportation Security Administration agent was shown patting down a 6-year-old Utah girl as she and her family attempted to pass through airport security. Parts of the pat down, in another setting, clearly constituted the kind of inappropriate touching that, if done by anyone else, would have resulted in charges of child abuse and sexual assault. The pat down even caused the little girl to cry, her parents later said in televised interviews. Homeland Security Administration Secretary Janet Napolitano, under whom the TSA falls, dared to defend the indefensible. In an interview about the incident with MSNBC, she said this: “Nobody likes to see those kinds of things even though it was done professionally according to the protocols. But, what TSA is doing is reexamining those protocols all the time. It’s all in relation to threat – what is the threat? And one of the things we do see is if you categorically remove a group from any type of screening, well those who seek to do us harm will then exploit that group. So you have to be very careful on how you do it.” So, Napolitano is saying that it’s okay to inappropriately touch 6-year-old kids because, you know, terrorists could use the children of typical American families to smuggle bombs aboard airliners. Does anyone, besides her, really believe this? Can you imagine this happening to the child of Muslim couple? Granted, TSA abuses are nothing new . Besides “randomly” selecting and groping passengers who don’t fit terrorist profiles, the agency now wants your DNA . But the borderline criminality of TSA searches – needs to stop. Napolitano says the TSA is working to develop a “risk-based system” of screening passengers. Let’s hope that at least means taking kids off the list.

Using police to enforce a Big Pharma medication agenda is a violation of civil rights (and a waste of good cops)

(NaturalNews) In a new video posted today (link below), I argue that using police officers to enforce a Big Pharma medication agenda is not merely a violation of civil rights, but a crime against human rights . It is a grave misuse of state power and a waste of law enforcement resources that are already stretched thin across the country. The full video is available at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=97774F5C3850CF921CBD4919305AE67C The video concerns the case of Maryanne Godboldo , the Detroit mom who was raided at gunpoint after refusing to allow Child Protective Services to kidnap her daughter. What was Maryanne’s supposed “failure” at parenting? She refused to give her daughter a psychiatric medication prescribed by her doctor — a medication that even the state now admits the daughter didn’t need. After she refused, CPS called the police who brought guns onto the scene. Maryanne, in an effort to protect her daughter, warned the police to go away. When they broke in through her front door, she allegedly fired a warning shot to let them know she would protect her daughter against armed intruders. This resulted in the SWAT team being called in, and a 12-hour standoff ensued. Maryanne is now facing multiple felony charges, including “obstruction of a law enforcement officer.” It is the duty of honest citizens to obstruct cops who are committing crimes And yet, I ask the question: Was it not Maryanne’s duty to obstruct those law enforcement officers when they are in the process of committing a crime? Those who blindly believe in state power without understanding the principles of freedom mistakenly believe that cops have the right to do anything they want. The badge, they think, gives them the ultimate power to commit their own crimes in the name of the state. But this simply isn’t true: Cops are required to both uphold the law and exercise discretion in the enforcement of law . If you spotted a cop raping a 13-year-old girl in a dark alley, would you simply walk away and say, “Oh, it’s okay because he’s a cop” ? Of course not. You’d call somebody or perhaps take action of your own such as pulling a gun on this cop and demanding he stop raping the girl. At least, that’s what I would do. What would you do if you saw cops ransacking a convenience store and stealing cash while beating the store clerk? Would you say that’s perfectly fine because they carry badges? Of course not: You would call in other cops to arrest these rogue cops. What if you saw a gang of armed cops about to commit a kidnapping crime and breaking in the front door of the house belonging to an innocent family? Would you do something about it? Janet Napolitano urges Americans: ” If you see something, say something. ” But of course the government doesn’t want you to say something about their own agents committing felony crimes: They want you to spy on your neighbors at Wal-Mart. But Maryanne Godboldo did something . She took decisive action to protect her family against an armed gang of rogue cops engaged in a conspiracy to kidnap her daughter. That they were wearing a badge is irrelevant to the undeniable facts that they were involved in violations of Maryanne’s civil rights, violations of human decency guidelines, and violations of the law. Why we need local law enforcement I believe in the importance of local law enforcement. In fact, I’ve written about it many times (http://www.naturalnews.com/005341.html). But today, I’m warning cops to rethink what they’re doing when they are called into enforce a medication agenda of a child. For one thing, it’s a waste of cop resources . Cops did not go through training just to force moms to drug their teenage children. Cops should be used for far more important things like arresting rapists and murderers. Keeping the peace and so on. Secondly, if cops keep doing this, sooner or later cops are going to get shot by moms or dads who are better armed than Maryanne allegedly was. This is inevitable unless the cops back off and stop this senseless enforcement of “gunpoint medicine.” Can you imagine the tragedy if a cop ends up being fatally shot over the state’s insane desire to force a parent to medicate her child with a dangerous psychiatric drug? That’s what it has come to in America, unfortunately. America is now a medical police state where the refusal to drug your own children results in armed agents of the state breaking down your front door and kidnapping your child. It sounds like something out of a dystopian fiction novel, but it’s a reality right here in America, right now. In every society, we need officers of the peace. But those officers have a duty and a moral obligation to engage in keeping the peace , not escalating the tyranny . When so-called “peace officers” become the terrorists themselves — when they are the ones raiding the homes of innocent families for no justifiable reason — then the police have become a threat to our freedoms and our communities. It is at that point that citizens must rise up against the police and take back their freedoms, their civil rights, and their human rights. The police exist to serve the public, not to rule over them. As a former board member of a law enforcement non-profit in Arizona, I encourage cops all across the nation to think carefully about what you are doing. I urge police officers everywhere to deny CPS requests to take away children from their parents when the CPS complaints are based solely on the parent’s refusal to drug their child with dangerous psychiatric drugs. Good cops should simply say NO to bad enforcement requests. After all, if you’re a cop reading this, you know that sending you in to enforce a medication scheme is a total waste of your time and training . It is an insult to you and your badge. It is an affront to everything the good men and women in blue stand for: Protecting and serving the public. Because I do not remember any cops swearing an oath to protect and serve the interests of the pharmaceutical corporations . And yet that’s exactly what they are now being forced to do through Child Protective Services and these insane doctors who think every child needs a mind-altering psychotropic drug to be “normal.” Watch my full video commentary at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=97774F5C3850CF921CBD4919305AE67C
