The United Nations & Senator Barbara Boxer Want To Raise Your Children

About 20 years ago, the Clinton Administration attempted to ratify the UN Treaty on Children's Rights. This met with sufficient opposition that Clinton submitted it to Congress to get it ratified or not.


This Treaty is now coming back to the table.


Reading the treaty sounds all good yet in practice, this Treaty would become international law and usurp the powers of the Constitution and of course any parental rights.The Treaty is all based on the premise that governments are to operate for the “best interests of the child”.


So what’s wrong with that?


Well, as an example, all it would take is a Social Worker, Law Enforcement Officer or Judicial Officer to deem that raising your child in the religion of your choice, etc, etc.) is not in the best interest of the child. Don’t think I am being silly, either!


Whereas parents have always had the determination of the best interests of the child, this would be taken over by the United Nations as international law.


Currently, the United Nations has an 18-member expert panel called the Committee on the Rights of the Child. These “experts” are to establish policies, rules and other arbitrary decisions on how children should be raised, educated and disciplined. These people are reported to be “persons of high moral character”.


Oh yeah?


So, googling away, I found that aside from assorted Lawyers, Sociologists, and Teachers, it includes a Researcher for Germany’s Max Planck Institute on Human Development and Education, a Child Psychologist and a Child Psychiatrist. There goes “expert” and “high moral character”.


Per recent news accounts, Senator Barbara Boxer ( D- Calif.) is urging the US to ratify the Treaty. Already 193 countries have ratified it with the USA and Somalia the only two holdouts. (Apparently Somalia doesn’t have a government right now.)


One report indicates that President Obama would be reviewing the Treaty yet another reports that Obama is not likely to approve such a Treaty if it gets to him. But that’s just conjecture.


To combat this, as of May 19th there are currently 92 members of the House of Representatives supporting a Parental Rights Amendment to our Constitution which would provide shelter to the parent–child relationship and ensure the parents have the right to direct the upbringing and education of their children.


The Parental Rights Amendment is as follows:

SECTION 1
The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.

SECTION 2
Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served.

SECTION 3
No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.

Alleged Racist Psych Named

In March I posted an entry regarding a local Psych involved in alleged racist comments, et al, as covered in this link: http://www.siliconvalleyhumanrights.com/2009/03/santa-clara-psychs-still-use-invasive.html.

So, I received a comment to that posting from humanrightswatch, that I think deserves a bit more pub:

"The alleged was never charged or convicted of any of the allegations as the powers to be not only found the charges to be unfounded (meaning they did not happen) they also disciplined the case workers who pressed, with negligence, for punishment against the alleged although he was and is innocent of these accusations. The county's referal, although no reasons to make such referal, was an act of impropriety. Feeling as though he had nothing to hide and to further disclose his innocence, the African American man underwent some frustrating and humiliating encounters with the psychologist and his assistant.

"The racist psychologist is Stewart B. Nixon. He also made a racist comment regarding President Obama and service men of color alluding to them being placed in fields and treated like animals. His sexist assistant is Pat Potter McAndrews, who ignored the facts presented to her and lied in her report. There practices and machines used are dated. They also make a habit of inappropriate, inaccurate and excessive billing."

Stewart Nixon apparently is also renowned for using the smell of spoiled raw meat to 'cure' sex offenders along with other sex toys he undoubtedly calls tools of the trade.

Killer Psych Drugs Involved in Another Death

San Jose - Last weekend 27-year old, Daniel Pham was shot dead by SJPD due to him brandishing a knife that he had presumably used to slash his brother. Per news accounts, Daniel has been on the mind-altering psychiatric drug, lithium, for five years. There were indications that he was on illegal drugs as well.

Lithium supposedly addresses a person's hostility and aggressiveness. I wager that the long term effects of the drug was his hostility and aggressiveness were increasingly bottled up by the drugs until he "snapped". Or worst yet, he stopped cold turkey which I have read is even worse.

Now, I don't know if he really needed to be tased twice and shot
nine times (not including any bullets that missed him) to subdue him, but I am sure someone is going to look into that. Don't take me wrong - the police officers involved did need to protect themselves if Pham indeed was threatening with a knife.

My only point being is that yet another violent act that involves psychiatric drugs.


Who was is his Psychiatrist? He/She surely did not do well in curing or helping Daniel that's for sure.

This was a complete no-win for everyone involved.
