A 20-agency annual report on the well-being of children has been manipulated by the "researchers" who created it so that traditional families and values are undermined.
Judith Reisman, Ph.D., is the author of Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences.
Months before Hollywood and the liberal media launched their massive love-fest for Kinsey, the movie, your federal tax dollars were at work promoting a dreadful annual report that would have made the infamous sexologist Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey extremely proud. Each year since 1997, the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics (FIFCFS) has published a report entitled America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being. Once again, this 20-agency report has marshaled data that appear to support some very incredible claims. The federal report would have us believe, for example, that while more children today reject religion (or have no formal exposure to religion) and fewer children live with both parents, they are less likely to be "victims of violence" than were mom and dad when they were children.
That’s right, according to the FIFCFS, families were much more dangerous for children back in the violent days of Ozzie and Harriet than in today’s idyllic family life à la Ozzie and Sharon Osbourne. Even if common sense and experience tell us this is preposterous, nevertheless, it must be true, since it’s supported by authoritative-looking tables and seemingly irrefutable statistics. After all, liberals would claim, America’s Children bears the imprimatur of the U.S. Departments of Education, Defense, Commerce, Labor, and Justice, as well as such impressive institutions as the National Science Foundation.
How did this multi-agency forum find "objective" data to support the Kinseyan claims that intact, religious families are harmful to children? Simple: it imitated Kinsey, the master fraud, and eliminated facts that conflicted with its thesis. The FIFCFS study eliminates the pandemic consequences of Kinsey’s gospel of pansexuality, which holds that any and all sexual activity should be considered normal. For example, the period from 1960 to 1999, according to the Department of Justice, saw violent crime increase 396 percent. This includes robbery, up 279 percent; aggravated assault, up 168 percent; murder up 70 percent; and forcible rape up 418 percent — despite the fact that fewer women or children stroll our parks and streets alone than pre-1960. The "child well-being" analysts, however, attempt to hide the rape plague by stripping it out of their statistics on "violent crime" affecting children.
Suffer the Children
Most people definitely would consider child rape and other forms of child sex abuse to be serious indicators of "unwellness." Most parents, I am sure, would consider information about the dangers to their children from sex offenders every bit as important as (if not more important than) the National Ambient Air Quality Standards of the area in which they live. Table POP9A, "Children’s Environments," in America’s Children provides great detail on the threats to childhood wellness posed by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and other air pollutants. Likewise, there is abundant statistical detail on family income distribution, child care, parental employment, diet quality, exposure to second-hand smoke, and so on, ad infinitum. However, the politically correct FIFCFS researchers have very conspicuously gutted from their report all child "unwellness" data that would undermine belief in the so-called benefits of sexual liberation. Consider these glaring omissions:
• All violent sex crime against children under 12 years of age are gutted. (Girls under 12 account for 37 percent of the victims of these crimes, and boys under 12 account for 25 percent.)
• All child rape data are dumped, yet 67 percent of sex victims are kids.
• All statutory rape and rape that was plea-bargained down to a misdemeanor are gutted.
• All boy sodomy victim data are gutted.
• All child runaway data are gutted, yet between 1.3 and 2.8 million children are said to be runaways.
• All data regarding the 350,000 to one million children used in prostitution and pornography are gutted.
• All child AIDS, Herpes, HPV, and chlamydia data, epidemic among youths, are gutted.
• All child kidnapping data are gutted, yet 58,200 children were kidnapped by non kin in 1999.
• All increased school sexual assault, child suicide, and sexual homicide data are gutted.
As I said above, America’s Children is a report which would make Alfred Kinsey proud. Like Kinsey’s infamous "research," it shamelessly manipulates data and lies by omission to promote a perverse agenda. It uses Kinseyan techniques regarding children’s "well-being" to undermine marriage, religion, and parental authority, and downplay the seriousness of child abuse.
Are fraudulent, anti-marriage and anti-family data the rotten fruit of pansexual "training"? You be the judge. In the past few years, trusted government-funded researchers inflated rates of parental sex abuse by redefining "parent" to include, "boyfriends or girlfriends or adoptive step-parent [or] parent substitute." These researchers also defined a "family" predator as anyone in "a romantic or sexual relationship with a parent." This is a very vicious attack on parenthood and families, an attempt to make parents appear to be the real danger to children.
Criminal "Science"
Who are these researchers? One of the most well known is Dr. Duane Alexander, director of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, a spokesman for the America’s Children publication. He also is a well-seasoned champion of ancient forms of "human sexuality."
Alexander vigorously defended his ongoing funding of Dr. John Money, who calls for an end to age-of-consent laws and whose surgical child sex-change program was exposed as a fraud and a failure.
Dr. Alexander claims that Dr. Money (who pioneered sex changes for children) has proven that no one is born psychologically male or female. Alexander explained that if parents raise their sons as girls, they will be "female," but if they raise their sons as boys, they will be "male."
Alexander savaged the parents of Dr. Money’s most famous sex-change victim for the boy’s stubborn refusal to complete the "scientific" process of making him a girl. Tragically, the victim of Dr. Money’s "experiment" committed suicide as an adult. Alexander’s unscientific and illogical conclusion as to why the boy rebelled at his forced gender change was that his parents didn’t raise him consistently as a girl so it "didn’t turn out well." Yet, amazingly, Dr. Alexander is still being funded by our tax dollars and is one of the federal "experts" shaping family policy.
Reliable scholars should be found to plot the timeline trends of sexual and child welfare from 1950 — the beginning of the Kinseyan pansexual revival — to today to correct other government reports that similarly hide the barbaric consequences of bringing back, legalizing, and professionalizing ancient, pagan pansexuality.
City Journal Winter 2002 | Why the Scouts Ban Homosexuals by ...
The Scouts’ side in this argument received powerful support recently when Manhattan D.A. Robert Morgenthau indicted 42-year-old Jerrold Schwartz, a now ex-scoutmaster of the Upper East Side’s Troop 666 (Satan’s supposed signature number) for repeatedly sodomizing a young teenager in his group over a three-year period during the mid-nineties. On a secretly recorded tape, Schwartz admits to the boy, "I have a place for you in my heart, but obviously it went from my heart to the wrong parts of my body." The alleged victim of Schwartz’s abuse is now 20, a pitiful, self-mutilating figure in a Florida rehab center for drug addiction and alcohol abuse. Last month, more accusations surfaced: four other credible victims, prosecutors say, claim that Schwartz molested them. In these cases, however, the statute of limitations has run out.
For the homosexual activists, what percentage of sexually abused kids would be an acceptable trade-off against the self-esteem of homosexual scoutmasters? To any reasonable American, and certainly to any parent, the answer is: zero.
Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse
If boys particularly are not protected from homosexual seduction, the empirical evidence assembled to date suggests that homosexuality will grow -- possibly exponentially.
Gay Foster Parents More Apt to Molest
Our society makes a lot of noise about ‘protecting the children’ and ‘for the sake of the children.’ But our foster system -- which may process almost half a million kids every year -- is being run throughout the country according to an alien, anti-child social philosophy.
State's Sodomy Law Puts Lesbian's Judgeship In Jeopardy
According to Adams, Virginia has invoked its sodomy law in recent years only to prevent homosexuals from adopting children and to discriminate against homosexuals involved in child custody battles. This illustrates precisely why Sodomy Laws are necessary.
The Pedophilia Debate Continues--And DSM Is Changed Again
In the DSM-III, the American Psychiatric Association contended that merely acting upon one's urges toward children was considered sufficient to generate a diagnosis of pedophilia. But then a few years later, in the DSM-IV, the APA changed its criteria so that a person who molested children was considered to have a psychiatric disorder only if his actions "caused clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning." In other words, a man who molested children without remorse, and without experiencing significant impairment in his social and work relationships, could be diagnosed by a clinician as a "psychologically normal" type of pedophile.
Challenged by NARTH to defend the change, the APAstated categorically that it had, in fact, no intention of normalizing pedophilia. However, "man-boy love" advocates cheered that DSM shift as good news.
Psychiatric Association Debates Reclassifying Pedophilia -- 06/11/2003
"Normalizing" pedophilia would have enormous implications, especially since civil laws closely follow the scientific community on social-moral matters, said Linda Ames Nicolosi, NARTH publications director.
"If pedophilia is deemed normal by psychiatrists, then how can it remain illegal?" Nicolosi asked. "It will be a tough fight to prove in the courts that it should still be against the law."
WorldNetDaily: Arnold OKs so-called 'Pedophile Protection Act'
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill dubbed by critics as "The Pedophile Protection Act."
The American Spectator
Democrats and liberal Republicans dismiss the constitutional amendment to protect marriage against judicial redefinition as hasty fiddling with the Constitution. But it turns out that they would like to fiddle with the Constitution this year themselves. Barney Frank and others in Congress are advancing a constitutional amendment that would permit foreign-born presidents. The constitutional prohibition tells immigrants "that they are somehow flawed," says Frank.
This is really disturbing.
Homosexual Agenda Overlapped with Moral Absolutes Ping.
(NOTE: I STUPIDLY "CUT" INSTEAD OF "COPY"D THE MORAL ABSOLUTES LIST OF NAMES. :-( If you want back on, freepmail me.)
Very amazing article with good add-ons. Dr. Judith Reisman did her homework, and continues to delve for the truth. Rational people need to ask exactly why does the "gay" rights crowd want to destroy the meaning of family and morality? And not just "gay" rights, but people exemplified by Planned Parenthood and others? Why do they hate sexual restraint so much?
Could it possibly be that they are after children?
Let me know if anyone wants on/off either list.
Yikes, you guys now about this guy? He's federally funded? Does he work at the NIH? If Reisman is right about this guy I wonder if the administration knows? Alexander sounds pretty dangerous if you ask me, how on earth could they do sex changes on children? ...it's got to be a crime. How many child sex change operations do they do a year? What kind of parent would do that to their kid. I'm just totally creeped out about this, Frist or the administration needs to investigate. Good God!
bump
Please add me to ping list. I assume a png shows as new messages posted to you?
Yes yes and yes. I wonder if the administration in the White House knows, does anyone know that? I think these articles should all be sent to the deputy chief of staff, if not to higher positions!!!! The left does everything in their power to blackout information like this.
Figures Barney "My boy lollypop" is behind this, no surprise there, as is Kennedy and btw, ahem, JFK too. They are all great champions of gay straght clubs in schools.
I've heard about this guy. The person who commited suicide was a strange case; naturally with fried brain cells I don't remember all the details. IIRC it was a baby boy whose circumcision went wrong and they decided to cut it all off, or who had irregular genitals at birth (a boy). So they decided to raise him as a "girl", under the direction of this Dr. Demon. It's a very sad story. The boy raised as "girl" always knew something as wrong and felt like a boy even without all the regular equipment. The story goes on and on and has a miserable ending.
These so-called doctors should be put out of their misery.
I have two ping lists, the Homosexual Agenda Ping list and the Moral Absolutes Ping list. They occasionally overlap but usually it's one or the other. Let me know which (or both) you want.
A "ping" means I alert you to the article on the open forum. If you click "private reply" then it goes to my freepmail. Either way I'll get it.
Note: Both lists are pretty busy lately.
How easy it is to lie using statistics.
Satan wears many faces in America today and although some aquired gradually over time; "government" if not already, will soon be one of them.
