assistant: A month or so ago.. This women said that I turned her into CPS.. Not true..
I as a parent have been turn into CPS.... Statements made to them were not
true. They spent 90 days investing me..Then I recieved a letter stating that
all statements against me weren't true.. THat ended the investigation..
In that 90 days They came to see me every 30 days..
The person that turned me in knew my fisrt and last name.. Was a inlaw that
was pissed at me..
I on the other hand.. Didn't no the perosn name that said they got turned
n..
Nor would I know her child last name..
The story was made up because the person that siad I turned them in was
jeolous of my relationship to a friend of there.. Hoping that the gentelment
would believe the lie..
I live with this man an he is with me 24 hrs a day.. If I did this wouldn't
he know it..
So we talked about what I should do.. I could have taking it to my lawyers
with the private messages left to him in a local board written from Juno..
But on my own I decided that people that wouldd do something like that just
have a very sick mine.. Plus are very Jealous..
I feel that I should recieve a puplic message in fido net and also in General
mail on the bbs I use most time.. If i'm wrong I have always admitted to it..
If I'm right I fight for my rights..
What would you do???..... How would you as a victim hand this..

Nightmare of government "compassion"
NO LAW AGAINST MERCY
Jailed for Sheltering a Child from the State
by Barbara Lyn Lapp and Rachel B. Lapp
(reviewed by Jim Powell)
Who says issues of justice can best be resolved in legislatures and courts?
Back in 1993, Child Protective Services officials charged New York welder
Donald Stefan with child abuse, and his son Billy was committed to a boys'
"home," although he emphatically denied that he had been abused by his
father.  He did testify that while subject to the government's "care," he was
isolated, beaten and drugged.
This book offers a dramatic account of how the Stefan family sought help and
found the courageous Mennonite Lapp sisters. Inspired by their religious
principles and by individualists like Lysander Spooner, Henry David Thoreau,
Frederic Bastiat and Rose Wilder Lane, they did their utmost to obtain
justice for the Stefans.  Jailed for their efforts, they refused legal
assistance and cynical plea bargains--and were ultimately vindicated.
Power, this compelling story shows, is especially odious when wielded in the
name of compassion.
"The authors' battle to protect a boy and his father from the state--and to
remain unbowed in the face of its
mistreatment--touches the heart and inspires the reader on every page.  Such
heroism, which reveres and defends the higher law, is tonic that will
reawaken slumbering hearts and bring tears to dry eyes."  --Sheldon Richman,
author of SEPARATING SCHOOL AND STATE

Research was done a few years ago stating that they found the protein was
coated in mercury and was functional according to mercury instead of the
normal
protein function. It was undetectable in normal tests.

Most chemicals considered dangerous do start from mercury, mercuric chloride
for example, just because they prefer to leave the word mercury out of it
oes
does not mean its not there. Chemicals, drugs, disinfectants, herbicides, why
else are the health authorities in denial, because it might put America out
f
big business. Over 2,000 tons are being released every day for the past 50
years. Then you add up everything that reacts with mercury from petrochemical
companies and you begin to see how smog works through ions, pressure and
temperature. Environmentalists are making a dent in industry and doing
something about the animals and fish, but medically it is covered up in
denial.
Reports on the medical impact on individuals were ignored by the health
authorities whilst the CIA took a dozen. Mercury may have been the major
factor
in military production but like nuclear testing it is at our expence. Thermal
nuclear testing resulted in excessive air pollution.

Subject: Why We'Re Sick
Have you got the reference for this?  I'm very intrigued as to how
mercury coats a protein ;-)
Analytical chemistry has greatly improved these days, to the point we
can smell a wet dog 2 counties away.  The detection limit for mercury is
quite low, using atomic absorption or GC/MS.

If there had been proof in the thread that environmental damages or even
eco issues were part of your blast on the USA's indebtedness when you
posted the messages, not one post from me or others in the echo would have
transpired.  Only after we brought it to your attention did you bring up
the environment and ecological issues - an obvious ruse to get yourself
on-topic and continue the thread.
As was explained back last year, when my position on the environment was
questioned, I have tried to refrain from posting very much in the echo (one
way or the other) concerning my position, in an effort to keep an
impartial view because of being a moderator.  So to clarify again, I am
probably what would be considered a wise-user.  I don't destroy the
environment, and our house recycles some things.  I walk as much as
possible, instead of taking the car for short trips (too far to ride a
bicycle to work on a daily basis, cause I could end up 90 miles away on a
job). When I lived in Florida, my ex and I were  taggers for the National
Marine Fisheries (probably the most active non-commercial taggers in the
Gulf).  I had my own garden, replanted more trees of choice than the ones
that got cut to make room for construction of house and sheds.  I plan on
building an environmental- friendly home (even pursuing the prospects of
building an Earthship or other eco-house when I do build my home).
Rarely have I ever posted in here, except in an official capacity.  Then, I
do it as objectively as possible, checking threads and making sure before I
post that I should wear the cap or let something slide.

History dear Holmes. Obviously you would class it a conspiracy, the question
is
when does secrecy become conspiracy. Just like radiation eh?
Smog? You can't see the mercury, yes you can see the effects of the smog but
mercury is the part of it that has no smell and can't be seen. Smog is the
chemical reaction it produces. hehe, I think your trying to trip me up, I'll
take it in jest.
Great we agree on something;-) why do you think alchemy was such a prized
secret for so long, because of gold or because of the effectiveness of
mercury.
It goes all along the whole chain raction of what we are dealing with today
not
just in the environment but the real cause of health problems, it is deniably
undeniable.

assistant: Madam co-moderator,
I assure you I posted only one message with regards to the US.
That stated that the only threat Canadians have to fear from the US was
pollution.I was not involved in any prior threads of "UN bashing"
US bashing or the like.
I do however discuss eco-politics in other forums as I believe that
issues such as clearcuts,mega malls,corporate sponsorship,corporate
pollution , municipal misplanning etc.. Are all environmental issues.
...
I am the proprietor of a community based and participatory
environmental awareness store that serves as home base for a community
gardening project as well as a community bartering project. I ride my
bicycle to work in arctic weather that is so cold you could not even
imagine. I have implemented a full scale profitable recycling situation
at a nearby engineering company of 125 people.
I compost,do organic gardening(when its not snowing) and I recycle.
So you see I do "wear the cap"
I have not enjoyed talking with you...until now.
If you would like to see what Canadian Earthships look like post me.
Adieu, and regards,
Eka louis
