Protests Against The Judiciary Have Resumed

Filed under: General — Paul Catton @ 1:53 am

Dear Readers

Two years ago the “fathers coalition” conducted a campaign against errant legal practitioners and lower level judiciary with some parliamentarians likewise being canvassed.

Much debate surrounded this type of unprecedented targetting and would also have similar debate today.

This campaign had success, although it did not swing the pendulum, it provided the medium for discussion at every level of society including Talkback Radio and Principal Family Court Judge speeches. 

Stakes have since been raised, our freedoms continually being eroded by systemic engineering and now enough is enough,

On 21st September 2008 members of the “fathers coalition’ and others will resume activism against the  Higher Judiciary and others in Auckland.

Justice Potter has been selected as the first candidate for protestation refer  http://www.kiwisfirst.co.nz/

Responding to solidarity in the matter , the Refuge has issued the following statement:

The East Auckland Refuge for Men and Families has allocated funds and time resources to ensure that this event occurs, catering and refreshment will be supplied after function by the Refuge to its normal high standard.

Further logistics of transportation and finance for attendance should also be available.

General advertising by Opal and I  will be conducted in the usual format, however, due to the magnitude and corruption being exposed, personal invitations will be further extended to Systemic participants and overseeing media who should be seeking truth rather than complacency.

Jim and the Bus have pledged participation, Ben is specifically coming up from Wellington, Mike and the girls, myself and Opal.

The Country needs to vocalise Vince Seimer and Vince requires your voice. See you all on 21st, venue to be confirmed.

  2. I love children’s stories. They are simple while at the same time having underlying messages that you won’t find on TV or anywhere else today. Nothing compared to reading stories to our children and I would rather do that anytime than sit around drinking piss. You have to go to the old stories to find the kind of message and the kind of excitement that children crave. I’ve taken the liberty of re-writing Cinderella and the Step Sisters and while it does not compare with the goodness of the original, it tells us how the story might be told today. Anyone can add to it if they like

    Cinderella and the three feminists.
    Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn’t like her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort.

    One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters and mother were getting ready to go. The ugliest feminist, who was a lawyer, had filed an affidavit so that the three feminists would not be left off the guest list.

    Cinderella didn’t even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would be: You? You’re staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy.

    That evening, the three fat, ugly feminists could only just fit in the coach and so Cinderella was left to walk in her ball gown and glass slippers after they had left. As the team of horses and the coach ground its way up the hill, the fattest feminist revealed to the others how glass slippers, like glass ceilings, were just another way that men tried to prevent women from attending Balls. She then explained to the others, as she had many times before, that even though she was fully qualified with a degree in Women’s Studies, she had to work as a checkout operator in a grocery store while had she been a man with a degree in women’s studies, she would now be engaged in some leading scientific endeavour.

    The story would normally be about Cinderella, the Prince and how they fell in love however new legislation required that reports of heterosexual liaisons were balanced by same-sex relations. Positive discrimination now required that at least twice as much time in any child’s story was dedicated to same-sex relations. At the Ball, the feminist lawyer and the feminist checkout operator headed straight for the food court. The other feminist, a schoolteacher, was inclined to higher, less earthly pursuits. She sat with her back against the wall, her arms tightly folded, breaking one chair after the other while she watched the proceedings with utter disgust. Men were LEADING women around the dance floor and she was well aware of the vile and disgusting thoughts of those testosterone-filled beasts, complemented entirely by the unwitting innocence of these poor women.

    As a schoolteacher, she engaged in many forms of positive discrimination to balance the gender inequalities and to redress the historic repression of women and if only she could enlighten those around her here tonight, what a difference she could make in the world. Suddenly a man approached her and taking her by the hand he said “ I say Mamme, turn that frown upside down!” Mamme!! Not Ms! How dare he address her like this and how dare he accost her in such a brutal manner. Could a girl not go anywhere these days without being molested?? Help! She cried, help! Rape! Rape! !

    One of the feminists heard her cries. She saw the assault, the battery and the rape. At the same time she couldn’t help thinking that if her good sister had only lasted three years with this jerk she would be entitled to half of his property. Casting an eye around the ballroom she figured that the owner of this joint would still be good for one or two million. Aiding and facilitating rape, not having a reasonable ratio of same-sex couples… these were just some of the charges that flashed through her mind and there wasn’t a single lawyer, now working as a judge, who would not uphold these charges. Without that, there would be no business for anyone.

    No relation to the webmaster!

    As far as I can see, Vince Seimer’s issues have no direct connection to Men’s or Father’s issues, so this subject is NOT on-topic at MENZ from now on.
