-Caveat Lector- Folks, It's all part and parcel of the socialist takeover of America. It will be real interesting to see how this affects BSA membership: ACLU of Illinois Lauds Court Ruling That Boy Scouts Cannot Discriminate Based on Sexual Orientation FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, August 13, 1999 CHICAGO -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois today hailed a Cook County Circuit Court decision barring the Boy Scouts from considering the sexual orientation of applicants in employment decisions. The decision in the Chicago case comes on the heels of a recent New Jersey Supreme Court decision rejecting the Boy Scouts' anti-gay policies in that state. In Dale v. Boy Scouts of America, the New Jersey high court declared that the Boy Scouts held themselves out as open to the public and were, therefore, subject to state anti-discrimination laws. The Cook County court is equally direct in its assessment that, for the Boy Scouts, "the mere sexual orientation of an employee... is not related to any nondiscriminatory basis for denying opportunities for employment." "When this ruling is considered in the context of the Dale decision last week, the courts' collective message to the Boy Scouts is powerful, clear and unmistakable," said Roger Leishman, Director of the ACLU/Roger Baldwin Foundation Gay and Lesbian Rights/AIDS and Civil Liberties Project. "The courts will no longer tolerate the Boy Scouts discriminatory practices based on sexual orientation," he said. "It is time for the Boy Scouts to bring a voluntary end to these practices and to embrace the most important values we can share with young people -- tolerance and inclusion." The case, Chicago Area Council of Boy Scouts of America v. City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations and G. Keith Richardson, was argued by staff attorneys of the ACLU of Illinois on behalf of Richardson, a former Eagle Scout who was denied consideration for employment by the local Boy Scouts in 1992. The decision by Judge Stephen A. Schiller forces an end to the Scouts' practice of discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation, and prohibits the Scouts from publishing and distributing any materials within the City of Chicago that indicate any discriminatory criteria for employment. In addition, the court's ruling supports a central argument articulated by the ACLU -- namely, that an individual's sexual orientation has no bearing on their ability to accomplish successfully the duties of any job. The court specifically ruled that the discrimination against Richardson by the Boy Scouts was particularly grievous because of the very public, inclusive nature of the organization. The Circuit Court and the City of Chicago Commission on Human Rights specially noted that the Boy Scouts have a strong tradition of tolerating and including a wide range of religious and moral viewpoints within their membership and among their sponsoring organizations. Discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation, the court found, is antithetical to this long tradition and practice of inclusion and tolerance. "I am personally thankful for the judge's ruling," said Keith Richardson, who became an Eagle Scout in 1974. "It should be pointed out, however, that this decision is broader and encompasses more than my own efforts to gain employment with the Boy Scouts," he noted. "It is a signal that, from now on, all people -- regardless of their sexual orientation -- will have an equal opportunity to continue their participation in Scouting through employment. My hope is that the result will be a more tolerant, more inclusive and stronger Boy Scouts of America." Volunteer attorneys Charles H.R. Peters of Schiff, Hardin & Waite, Chicago, and Ms. Ann Rae Heitland of Flagstaff, Ariz., assisted the ACLU in this case. http://www.aclu.org/news/1999/n081399b.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ... "relationships" ... Source: Media Bypass, June 1999, page 19 (The Uncensored National News) Bonacci"s Story-- One of the most heart-rendering parts of the court transcript is the testimony of Paul A. Bonacci, the mind-control victim survivor, on whose behalf DeCamp sued Lawrence E. King. Bonacci testified that King took him on many trips to Washington, D.C., Kansas City, Chicago, Minnnesota and Los Angeles, where he prostituted the kidnapped and drugged youngster to the rich and famous -- and depraved. Bonacci said that "one person I'm not afraid to talk about because Larry King always said him and this guy were on opposite ends of the field because this guy was a Democrat and Larry King was a Republican ... And this guy -- every time I see him on TV, my wife knows my hatred for him ... His name is Barney Frank." When asked if he had "relationships" with him, Bonacci replied, "In Washington, D.C. And also I was sent to a house, I believe it was in Massachusetts in Boston where I believe it was his house because there's pictures on the wall with him and different people and stuff, that he had met I guess, but it was in his basement." Suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder, currently called Dissassociative Identity Disorder (DID), Bonacci testified that as one of his alters called Wesley, he lured Johnny Gosch into the van when he was kidnapped. "I went up to him, asked him [Gosch] a question," said Bonacci. "At that point he was close enough to the car where Tony [another kidnapper] had pulled up in the van and they pushed him in the car and they had a rag with chloroform in the bag that they had us stick over his face. And then put it back in the bag after he was out ... We drove several miles ... we met up with a station wagon and a van several times". After switching vehicles and changing direction, the kidnapping of Johnny Gosch was over. ------------end of excerpt----------- Folks, The main article starts on page 18, and is entitled "Mind Control Victim Awarded $1 Million, by Uri Dowbenko "U.S. government mind control programs, like MK-Ultra and Monarch, directed against helpless victims -- human guinea pigs -- have been virtually ignored by the Big Media Cartel.
