Excrement continues to hit the fan daily regarding priestly sexual abuse of children.  Cardinal Bernard Law remains at the heart of the scandal in Boston's Roman Catholic archdiocese.  Glaringly intransigent, has refused to resign and publicly denied plans for any immediate remedial action, resulting from the recent cardinal summit in Rome.  Law has been sued by Gregory Ford and his parents for having failed to take action when he (Ford) was sexually abused by Rev. Paul Stanley at the age of six back in 1983.

In response to the suit, the Cardinal claimed the boy's negligence contributed to injury and damage suffered by plaintiffs.   Appalling, isn't it?  Mr. Ford's attorney, Roderick MacLeish Jr. strongly asserted: "There is no set of circumstances under which a 6-year-old child could be blamed for something like this."  That's exactly right, Counselor.  Personal responsibility?  What the hell's that?  Reserved only for the unwashed masses.  Not a Right Wing fascist.  … Don't do as I do, do as I say.  Right, Padre?

Not surprisingly, fascists are considering imposing the death penalty for child molestation.  After all, "conservatives" are incapable of carefully thinking through any issue, offering oversimplistic analysis and solutions to enormously difficult problems.  Perception for the fascist is black and white.  No shades of gray or brilliant color possible.

Morons supporting such "punishment" for pedophiles conveniently ignore several extremely important factors, -- or simply don't care.  First, although certainly criminal, pedophilia is a mental illness.  Most pedophiles have themselves been sexually abused as children.  It is barbaric to kill the mentally ill.  It is even sicker to kill an offender who was himself sexually abused.

Second, capital punishment is an oxymoron.  In fact, it isn't "punishment" at all.  Rather, nothing more than revenge.  Why?  Punishment presumes correction of human behavior as both its purpose and goal.  Capital "punishment" is not punishment because there is no future behavior to be corrected.  Indeed, there is no behavior at all, since the condemned is dead when executed.  That's why fascists should embrace honesty and call the death penalty exactly what it is, -- vengeance.  Intellectual honesty demands it.  Moreover, the death penalty serves no deterrent.  None.  The condemned never believed he or she would get caught, or didn't care.  Few murders are premeditated anyway.

Third, there is no study conducted by unbiased researchers, (those unattached to the "Religious" Right), indicating punishment corrects undesirable behavior longer than temporarily.  Pointedly, it is virtually worthless in long-term control of any deviant activity.  The purpose of prisons in reality has nothing whatsoever to do with "punishment", despite the "penal" institution label.  Rather, prisons serve two purposes, one legitimate, one not.

Legitimately, they remove and isolate offenders from society.  Absolutely necessary and in the best interests of innocent law-abiding citizens.  Also sickly serve the perverse desire for revenge, making the fascist sicker than the criminal.  Prisons certainly don't "correct" undesirable behavior.  On the contrary, inmates usually leave penal institutions far more-seasoned criminals.

Ironically, making incarceration extremely unbearable and barbaric does nothing to solve the recidivism problem.  Absolutely, nothing.  Rather, it hardens inmates, increases ruthlessness, and makes them far more determined not to get caught again.  Precisely leading to the fourth factor conveniently ignored by the fascist element supporting capital "punishment" for child molesters: Pedophiles subject to execution will murder their victims to avoid capture.  Furthermore, abuse victims are in most cases abused by family members, making them far less likely to come forward should it mean Uncle Jack or Dad gets executed.

Montana and Louisiana have statutes imposing the death penalty for pedophilia.  No one, however, has been executed.  Highly unlikely anyone will be in the near future.  Why?  In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled capital punishment for rape cruel and unusual punishment.  Hasn't stopped Alabama from considering such legislation, however.  Alabama Rep. Black commenting on a pending bill remarked:  "This isn't about deterrence. It's about punishment."  No, Mr. Black.   It's about revenge, you jackass.  It's how fascists like you get your cookies off, isn't it, sir?

Want to permanently solve the problem?  Since the recidivism rate is nearly 100% and there is no cure, lock up pedophiles for life in mental institutions with NO chance of release, -- AFTER criminal trial.  Provide a work environment in these institutions to make them self-supporting.

Reportedly, San Diego Rancho Bernardo High School Vice Principal Rita Wilson gets her cookies off lifting the skirts of girls to check if they're wearing g-strings.  Inappropriate attire for school dances, according to Ms. Wilson.  So is the no-bra look for young ladies under her charge.  At a school dance Friday, April 26, this "educator" not only lifted students' skirts but also forced them to partially undress to see if they were indeed wearing bras.  In front of the boys as well as police officers and teachers at the door, -- before the young ladies were allowed to enter the dance.  Be interesting to see if any charges are ultimately filed.  Aggressively stupid if true, especially at a time of heightened awareness of sexual abuse of minors.

Once again, U.S. Attorney General John Cornyn got his ass kicked in court on April 30.  Recently ruling the incarceration of Jordanian college student Osama Awadallah unconstitutional, U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin asserted:  "Relying on the material-witness statute to detain people who are presumed innocent under our Constitution in order to prevent potential crimes is an illegitimate use of the statute.''  The statute referred to is an outrageously unconstitutional law enacted in 1984, allowing incarceration of material witnesses only under extremely limited circumstances.

Regardless, the fascist occupying the "Justice" Department is not a happy camper responding "one trial judge in New York represents an anomaly… The department's use of material witness warrants is fully consistent with the law and long-standing practice. Numerous other judges have authorized the use of material witness warrants in the settings that we have been using them, and the use of such warrants has been validated at the appellate level.''

If Ashcroft's assertion is true, only demonstrates how truly Nazi the judicial system has become.  The Founders were extremely concerned with such governmental abuse, specifically creating the Bill of Rights in response.  The fascist occupying the "Justice" Department has again demonstrated his utter disregard for rights and civil liberties.  As Judge Scheindlin asserted, the Founders believed the public:  "should forever `be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects' from intrusion and seizure by officers acting under the unbridled authority of a general warrant… Detaining Awadallah solely for the purposes of a grand jury investigation was therefore unlawful…Such an interpretation poses the threat of making detention the norm and liberty the exception.''

Exactly right, Judge.  Delighted to see at least one upstanding jurist willing to stand on principle and the Constitution.  Certainly, a refreshing change.  Taking matters a step further, Judge Scheindlin added:  "Having committed no crime -- indeed, without any claim that there was probable cause to believe he had violated any law -- Awadallah bore the full weight of a prison system designed to punish convicted criminals as well as incapacitate individuals arrested or indicted for criminal conduct.''

… Precisely, the problem with Ashcroft's abuse of the law and Constitution.  --Exactly what the Founders tried so hard to prevent and/or remedy.  No question, the "Justice" Department will appeal.  Should the District Court ruling prevail, the "President" and his fascist cronies will face a house of cards quickly collapsing.  If not, one of the last nails will be driven into the coffin of liberty and principles this country used to stand for.

U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and his equally fascist cronies in the "Justice" Department are denying attorneys for John Walker Lindh access to exculpatory witnesses in violation of Fifth and Sixth Amendment guarantees, resulting in a heated court hearing April 30.  Defense counsel is seeking testimony from Confidential Source One (C.S.-1) as well as access to "detainees" held at Guantanamo Bay.  The government has refused, citing "national security".  -- Kangaroo justice at its best.  Be interesting to see what happens, no?

On Sunday April 28, Ole' George "The Tush" Bush, in response to an agreement to end the month-long Israeli siege of Ramallah, crowed to reporters at his ranch: "Chairman Arafat is now free to move around and free to lead and we expect him to do so…Mr. Arafat must perform. Mr. Arafat must do his job. ... He must earn my respect by leading.''

… Hey, George?  Who are you to tell Arafat what to do?  -- A bit haughty admonishing him to "earn" your "respect", isn't it, sir?  After all, who the hell are you to set expectations for anyone?  Where is YOUR leadership?  Why aren't you putting pressure on Sharon to end the barbarous current Israeli incursion of the West Bank?  More pointedly, why aren't you forcing the Israelis to cooperate with UN inspectors in their investigation of alleged Israeli atrocities at Jenin?

Want respect, George?  Earn it, you jackass.  To date, you haven't done a damn thing to resolve the fighting,  Absolutely nothing other than stamp your feet, -- as nobody listened.  Too cowardly to wield the $3 billion annual welfare dole to Israel as a stick to end the outrageous brutality.

On Monday, April 29, Israel continued to stonewall the UN investigation of recent Israeli military action in Jenin.  Israelis insist the final report contain no "conclusions", but mention of the word "terror", right of self-defense", and "rights to fight terrorism."  Not surprisingly, Israeli goons are pre-emptively and desperately attempting to control the outcome of the investigation and dictate substance of the findings.

On Tuesday, April 30, the Israeli security Cabinet continued to stonewall UN investigation of possible atrocities committed during its incursion into Jenin.  Apparently, the Israeli government seeks nothing less than written assurances of a favorable outcome.  Preordained.  It does not want its soldiers questioned, nor will it allow them to be prosecuted should evidence of war crimes surface.  Interesting, isn't it?

As a result and as of April 30, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is considering disbanding the team waiting for Israeli permission to enter Jenin.  Apparently, the United States would be more than happy to see that happen as demonstrated by U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte's assurances this country would 'fully respect' whatever Annan decides.  Translation?  The United States conveniently wants the entire matter swept under the rug.

Where the hell is the outrage of the jackass occupying the White House.  Supposedly, a "man of God".  If, indeed, there were no Israeli atrocities, why isn't Mr. Bush putting strong relentless pressure on Sharon to cooperate?  What better way to deflate supposedly false allegations than allow the investigation quickly proceed?  Apparently, the United States is aware atrocities occurred and is doing whatever it can to cover the ass of the barbaric Israeli state it outrageously supports with weapons and treasure.

On Wednesday, May 1, Annan made the decision to abort the investigation due to the glaring refusal of the Israeli state to give permission.  The jackass occupying the White House has indicated his "Administration" will not pressure the Israelis to cooperate.  Clearly, both the United States and Israel do not want the Israeli incursion into Jenin investigated.  Consequently, the world will never truly know what happened.  Sadly, neither country has any credibility in the Middle East and will not for the foreseeable future.  The United States is no honest broker of peace and is inseparably aligned to the Israelis, glaringly willing to look the other way no matter the atrocity.

The Israeli army has much to answer for.  While the truth may never be fully known, already Israeli soldiers speaking on the condition of anonymity have reported they were ordered to fire into Palestinian windows at anyone they could see.  Israeli troops refused to allow emergency vehicles to aid the injured.  Also apparently used civilians as shields.  Human Rights Watch in a recently released report, while not supporting the Palestinian claim of a massacre in Jenin, claimed there is "strong prima facie evidence" the Israeli military "committed grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, or war crimes."  This entire issue will not conveniently disappear and most certainly will bite both the United States and Israel hard on the ass.

Already, barbaric Israeli behavior over the last several weeks has deeply strengthened Palestinian resolve to overthrow their oppressors.  With demonstration of overwhelming firepower coming from American-supplied weapons, Palestinian militants have reportedly decided to change tactics and no longer will engage the Israeli military conventionally using small arms.  Have promised to ratchet up the use of suicide bombings.  Israeli citizens and even Sharon himself know quite well it is only a matter of time before the bombings continue.  Too bad.  The loss of innocent life is terribly tragic.

Regardless of the change in Palestinian tactics, they put up one hell of a fight over the last few weeks, unpleasantly surprising the Israelis.  In fact, precisely why the Israelis stopped going house to house and brought in Apache helicopters to destroy the defenders.  The ultimate responsibility for what now happens lays squarely on the shoulders of the jackass occupying the White House.  It is crystal clear to the Arab world the United States is the problem, since it supplies Israel with weapons and treasure.  Expect bloodshed to continue in the region.  Should Mr. Bush remain obstinate, expect the war on terrorism to go on for quite some time and ultimately be lost.

Once again, the "President" reversed himself and now supports a peace summit this summer.  Remarkable, isn't it? Interestingly, Mr. Bush haughtily pontificated explicit requirements for a Palestinian state:  "A Palestinian state must be based on the principles that are critical to freedom and prosperity: democracy and open markets, the rule of law, transparent and accountable administration and respect for individual liberties and civil society."

EACH of his requirements has been hypocritically violated by the jackass occupying the White House through signing of the outrageously unconstitutional "Patriot" Act and Executive Orders.  Glaringly, Americans are apparently not entitled to enjoy the same liberties and rights the "President" has in mind for Palestinians.  No question the Nazi appointed to office by a fascist Supreme Court talks out both sides his mouth.  … Day is night, night is day, and "sh-t 'don't' stink".  Right, Mr. "President"?

Amazing how favoritism works, isn't it?  At a time Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens is lobbying U.S. officials for more time to "finish the job" on the Palestinians, an American physicist is being let off the hook for illegally exporting krytrons to Israel in the '80's.  These devices can be used as nuclear triggers.  Richard Kelly Smyth had been a fugitive for some 16 years, jumping bail before trial in 1985.  Yet, was made eligible for parole at his sentencing April 29.  … As American as mom and apple pie.

Ole' Dick once again inserted a foot deeply down his throat.  May 1 on MSNBC's Hardball With Chris Matthews, he advised "the Palestinians should leave" the West Bank.  … Hey, Dickey baby?  It's THEIR land, you jackass.  Wake up.  Ignorance is NOT becoming, Mr. Armey.  … Just extremely aggressively stupid.

The Bush "Administration" has frozen the assets of Holy Land Foundation, Global Relief Foundation, and Benevolence International Foundation, -- using the "Patriot" Act and classified information to do so.  All three organizations have been denied access to secret "evidence" used against them.  In the Global Relief case, a "judge" has already sanctioned this outrageous perversion of "justice" and the Constitution.

Holy Land Foundation attorneys vow to fight:  "We are, of course, going to resist as energetically as we can any use of secret evidence to take away the property and funds of an American organization that is operated by American citizens for charitable purposes… We have, at this point, no idea what secret evidence the government is referring to, but we are certainly going to take the position that depriving people of their property based on secret evidence we have no opportunity to know about--much less rebut-- is not consistent with the Constitution or the American way of dealing with issues."

Responding to the admission of secret evidence in the Global Relief case, one of its attorneys, Roger C. Simmons asserted:  "It's just the grossest, worst, nastiest form of due-process denial you can imagine.  With secret evidence, you cannot know what they are charging you with and therefore you can never rebut it."

University of Southern California law professor and attorney Niels Frenzen strongly claimed "The use of secret evidence just really makes, in most situations, the legal process a meaningless process.  In our system, we fundamentally believe that the truth is obtained through cross-examination.  And classified evidence eliminates that ability."

In utter perversion of justice and the Constitution, the "Justice" Department now claims the "judge" ensures due process of the defendants.  -- Not the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.  Moreover, in the United States, however, g-damned "judges" are conveniently in bed with the prosecution.  Have been for at least the last 35 years.  Precisely why the Founders wrote the Bill of Rights over two hundred years ago, -- nearly entirely ignored now by law enforcement and the judicial system.

Ironically, Mr. Frenzen ultimately received access to classified material declassified by government goons in a case he was working on, -- only to find it innocuous and multiple layers of hearsay.  … Including a Newsweek article that had been classified.  The Founders must be spinning in their graves.

Responding to the recent indictment of Benevolence International Foundation and Executive Director Enaam Arnaout, Global Relief attorney Simmons claimed:  "It shows a thin-skinned quality that if they don't like what you say in civil litigation, they indict you for it.  They're sending a message to all of us:  'Don't mess with the man.' "  Worse yet, regarding the blatant attempt at intimidation, he remarked:  What it does is have a chilling effect.  How do I get somebody to give me an affidavit in my case now?"  Precisely what the Nazi heading the "Justice" Department intended.  Sieg Heil.

The United States was reinstated on the UN Human Rights Commission, April 29.  Why?  This country  lawfully murders death row inmates, at least some of whom glaringly innocent.  Does absolutely nothing any longer to guarantee due process, cowardly and conveniently looks the other way, and even encourages corrupt and abusive law enforcement nationwide to abrogate constitutional rights and liberties, often violently.  Routinely holds criminal officers to no standards at all, coddling and protecting them.  Hailing them as heroes, particularly after 9/11.

Habeas corpus means nothing as demonstrated by unlawful and unconstitutional "detainment" since 9/11 of hundreds in jails on no charges, conveniently denied access to attorneys.   In effect, law enforcement has been commissioned with gun and badge and the license to kill with impunity.  For over three years, this publication has posted numerous examples.

The United States was quite irritated last year when dumped off the Human Rights Commission and is obviously relieved.  Outrageous reinstatement, under present conditions in this country, once again proves day is night, night is day, and manure smells sweet.  Sieg Heil.

The sick need for secrecy promulgated by the Bush "Administration" apparently extends even to public worship services addressed by the "President's" press secretary, Ari Fleischer.  Mr. Fleischer recently addressed the faithful during worship at Waco's Temple Rodef Shal.  When he got up to do so, non-members were asked to leave.  Interesting, isn't it, for the press secretary to conduct an "off the record" speech at a public worship service with the cooperation of religious authorities?

… He's back.  Who?  Former Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates.  A police "executive" who presided over LAPD at a time this law enforcement agency was at its most abusive.  Also in power when Rodney King was mercilessly beaten by four of LA's "finest", leading to the 1992 riots.

Gates is proof positive of reverse Darwinism at work in the United States.  -- The most inept and abusive are coddled, rewarded, and ascend to the highest levels of power.  As American as mom and apple pie.  Now, dear Ole' Daryl wants his job back.  … Who'd a 'thunk' it, no?

Gates remains unapologetic and claims morale in the Department is "low".  Duh.  Ought to be.  LAPD is one of the most corrupt and abusive in history.  Been mercilessly sued and lost in court.  Repeatedly.  Ole' Daryl laments emasculation and present lack of aggressiveness of officers, although realizing he hasn't a snowball's chance of reinstatement.

In response to a question from CNN's Paula Zahn April 29, Gates remarked: "Well, if you look at the Los Angeles Police Department, it's gone downhill ever since I left, 10 years. It's dysfunctional; it's reached a point where it's dysfunctional. The morale is in the pits. It's just horrible. And I want it to return to the pride that people had in that organization, that the people within the organization had as the best police department in the world. I can do that. I can bring the morale up."

Bet you can, Chief.  Certainly would return the Department to its formerly high level of corruption and abusiveness, no doubt.  "Pride"?  Wake up, jackass.  Pride comes from properly doing the job lawfully, constitutionally, non-abusively, professionally.  Not possible for a bona fide fascist or the Nazi thugs working for him, no?   … Hey, Chief?  It is people like you directly responsible for the evisceration of the Bill of Rights and civil liberties.  Do the country a favor and kindly crawl back into the hole you've remained in for the last ten years since departing LAPD.

Despite continual problems with an extraordinarily abusive police department, Cincinnati appealed and lost an Ohio Supreme Court ruling throwing out "drug-exclusions zones".  The Ohio court had ruled prohibiting anyone arrested or convicted of drug offenses from certain areas of the city unconstitutional, violating the constitutional right to travel.  Duh.  Readers are reminded the law applied not only to those convicted, but "lawfully" arrested as well.  … Guilty until proven innocent.  The benchmark in the United States for the last 35 years.  The city appealed and lost in the U.S. Supreme Court April 29 when the highest court in the land rejected it with no comment or dissent.  Fortunately, this usually outrageously fascist court occasionally gets it right.

With war profiteering and pork steeply rising, in addition to the cost of the war itself, the federal deficit is expected to rise more than $100 billion this year.  No problem, right?  At least the "President" thinks not, strongly pushing to make tax reductions permanent.  -- Voodoo economics as similarly and strongly asserted by the "Chief Executive's" daddy, former President George H. Bush in criticism of Ronald Reagan back in 1980.  … Amusingly, some things never change, no?

To make up the difference, Ole' George "The Tush" is struggling to shave wherever he can.  Doesn't matter who gets the shaft, -- as long as it's not Big Business and corporate welfare.  Rather, the jackass occupying the White House has set his sights on those least able to fight back.  One convenient target?  College students and graduates, eliminating some $1.3 billion from a student loan program designed to allow consolidation of educational loans at low interest rates.  Can't have that, right?  Even though Corporate America ultimately benefits from a skilled labor pool.  Of course, the "President" and his cronies can't think that far.  Or don't care.

Political patronage is apparently par for the course for Texas Attorney General John Cornyn.  According to a report released by Texans For Public Justice (TPJ), Ole' Johnny awarded political plum Special Assistant Attorney General positions to four cronies:  Edna Ramon Butts, Joseph V. Crawford, John Greytok, and Jill Warren.  For a combined yearly salary of $379,452.  Reportedly, do-nothing jobs.  … This coming from a Republican priding himself on "conservative" and "judicious" use of taxpayer dollars.

Not surprisingly, Mr. Cornyn in true form refused to provide all information requested by TPJ.  After all, Ole' Johnny has neglected to aggressively enforce the Public Information Act, rendering it meaningless with no teeth.  The Attorney General is running for the Senate position soon to be vacated by Phil Grahm.  Readers should remember the GOP and its glaring duplicity when it comes time to vote.

As promised, the letter of complaint sent to Burnet County Judge Martin McLean, regarding fraudulent Ledger Maxpages and Stormpages site deletions originating from the Burnet County Library System and resulting in the ejection of this writer from library computers, has finally been posted.  Readers are reminded this is not the end of the matter.  Just the beginning.  For ongoing coverage of the criminal attacks as well as the letter to the Judge sent in response, click here.

Be sure to click on Klee's Kaleidoscope for Harvey Klee's latest edition.  This publication is a forum for a diversity of viewpoints. All are encouraged to submit material.

As strongly asserted in the last 53 editions, gut-wrenching fear generated by the Narcotics Enforcement Team is quite impressive. After all, these Nazi stormtroopers not only outrageously intimidate defendants and their gutless attorneys, but even innocent third parties who have suffered at their corrupt and abusive hands.

Recently, a source came forward with allegations regarding the death of a loved one under exceptionally curious circumstances. Sadly, the survivor got cold feet.

Most pointedly and quite publicly, how in hell do you expect these abuses to end if you don't have the guts to stand up and expose them to the light of day?

Every time a source cowardly runs the other way, the corrupt and abusive sons of bitches win. Every g-ddamned time. Worse yet, another nail is driven into the coffin of liberty.

If you don't have the courage to stand up and do the right thing, why should this writer continue to place himself in physical and legal jeopardy trying to expose the outrageous corruption and abuse?
