To Men and Women who support this site

Mon 16th November 2009:

Men and Women who support this site and what it stands for, must step up to the mark and tell the FC, lawyers and report writers, that we are united and we are not taking this lying down for one minute longer. It happened this morning while standing in Whangarei Warehouse. My 11 year old […]

Feminism is the Key to “Making of a Slave”

Thu 12th November 2009:

I have for some time focused on conspiracy theories but I have started to just see them as ‘history and the present’ coming together. Through my own interest to understand how the world works I have spoken with many people in New Zealand about past events and I’ve got to say, “We have very interesting […]

Words in Passing.

Tue 10th November 2009:

Words in Passing By Amfortas We were not ready. We were distracted. Exhausted. Battle had taken its toll But the Family survived. The children played. Malevolent Smile. She was Ready. Definite. Ordered. The Blue Pencil, poised, Poisoned, re-defined the land, The familiar, the family, the Form.

Please any advise

Thu 5th November 2009:

We have done all we can to try and prevent the outcome of which is probably going to happen in the next couple of months. Can the FC uplift a child from the day to day carer, who is agreeable with the uplift, and put the child in a foster home when the other parent, […]

Treating non-abductor as though they were the abductor France

Tue 3rd November 2009:

This extract shows the experience of being the left behind parent AND being treated as an abductor by a foreign court, to protect the abducting parent from re-abduction. The guilty party is treated as innocent, the not guilty party is treated as guilty. This backwards ethics results from the lack of cohesiveness between countries legal […]

If the controls don’t work, it’s probably out of control – UK

Sat 31st October 2009:

Funny how the controls on employing paperboys seem to be so much more stringent than the controls on spying on citizens? Everything not forbidden, is compulsory! (postulated by physics theorist Murray Gell-Mann) In human behavior, over large populations, everything not impossible, will happen? Murphy McMannus Can you even remember back to 1984? Anti-terror powers used […]

Treating non-abductor as though they were the abductor Germany

Thu 29th October 2009:

One eyed “judges” handling of parental child abduction Michael’s story is long and shows much wastage of the joy and happiness that family life would normally bring. However, it is a story that shows huge amounts of taking improper illegal treatment on the chin, and then going back for more. Shear persistence, in the face […]

Meeting with MP

Sat 24th October 2009:

As mentioned in my previous post, I will be meeting with the Hon, Dr Wayne Mapp, to discuss the Family Court etc… etc… I was thinking it might be and idea to give him and idea of how many people are in a simular postion to what I am in.  If you want to write […]

A Victory.

The boys’ parents separated in 2007 and shared parenting. The mother initially won Family Court permission to move with the boys to the UK, but the father successfully appealed […]

Draconian Powers to be given to government agencies

Fri 23rd October 2009:

State agency spy powers ‘chilling’ WHAT’S IN THE BILL THE POWERS: Video surveillance, watching private activity on private property, installing tracking devices, detaining people during a search, power to stop vehicles without a warrant for a search, warrantless seizure of “items in plain view”, power to hack into computers remotely, power to detain anyone at […]

Kevin Driscoll

Thu 22nd October 2009:

The case of Kevin Driscoll, accused of rape and currently under house arrest in Oregon, USA is a men’s rights issue going begging. The evidence against him is so bewilderingly thin, and the severity of local law enforcement’s response so untoward, that this case promises to be a watershed moment in the advancement of men’s […]

Being there when baby’s born

Mon 19th October 2009:

From: NZ Herald Being there when baby’s born If I wasn’t allowed to be present at the birth of my little girl then I would have thrown my toys. This week’s revelations by British childbirth specialist Michel Odent, who reckons childbirth would be less painful and more streamlined if men were not in the delivery […]

Aisling Symes Disappearance

Fri 16th October 2009:

AISLING SYMES DISAPPEARANCE This has been a horrible situation for Aisling’s family. Our hopes were with them and we now grieve with them for their tragic loss. Sadly, the case provided another platform for institutional sexism in news reports that police were focusing on local “child-related offending” and people of interest in this regard.

Father’s suicides or parental suicides?

Wed 14th October 2009:

Dear Wendy, I read your article about father’s suicides, with quite a bit of pain. While men’s suicide shows up grossly and obviously in national suicide statistics, I suspect that women’s suicides due to court traumatisation from removal of relationships with children is a faster growing problem. The feeling of traumatisation due to injustice does […]

Care and Protection a Joke

Tue 13th October 2009:

The FC have finally done their worst. They need to have their closed doors opened to show the criminal injustices they continue to do to children. Just come from an ordered Care and Protection meeting ordered by Judge Druce with the non trustable C4C Christina Cook. Two choices were given, the abused child be made […]

Female-Father Uber Alles – UK style

Sun 11th October 2009:

I have seen with my own eyes, children removed from parents and made available for adoption by female//female parents. Uk Government is putting out screeds and screeds and screeds of new Family rules. To me, it looks as though the “Family” issues are getting lost in layers and layers of 1984 style legalese=paperwork. It’s all […]

Domestic Violence month has given something for males to celebrate

Sat 10th October 2009:

October is Domestic Violence month and one court case alone in West Virginia, USA, has given a shimmer of hope for men in this terrible time of gender discrimination against them. A group of men and women against discrimination (MAWAD) have taken the state’s family service board to court over discrimination laws. Not only are […]
