The Parental Alienation Syndrome: Is It Scientific? by Stephanie J. Dallam, RN, MSN, FNP Dallam, S.J. (1999). Parental Alienation Syndrome: Is it scientific? In E. St. Charles & L. Crook (Eds.), Expose: The failure of family courts to protect children from abuse in custody disputes. Los Gatos, CA: Our Children Our Children Charitable Foundation. "Gardner's PAS theory and his various scales to differentiate true and false claims of child sexual abuse are not informed by science and have been discredited by his peers. Rather than subjecting his theories to scientific review, most of Gardner's writings are published through his own press or in nonscientific journals. Because Gardner's theories are based on his clinical observations and not on scientific data, they must be understood in the context of his atypical views concerning pedophilia and child sexual abuse." http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/Research/PAS/PAS1/pas1.html
Implications of Kinsey Research on Child Custody Cases How Junk Sex Science Created a Paradigm Shift in Society, Legislation and the Judiciary By Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D "The quality and health of a society is measured by the treatment of its most vulnerable populations: its women and children.1 Many facts support the conclusion that we are living in an increasingly violent era. For example, current data on violent crimes, suicides, out of wedlock births, sexually transmitted diseases, domestic violence, and child abuse support observations of increasing rates of dysfunction, brutality and perversion in our society." http://www.ocof.org/expose/implications_of_kinsey_research_.htm
What is going on in many of America's Family Courts is nothing short of a national scandal. There is important research which shows that loving and fit protective parents are losing custody of their children to fathers with histories of domestic violence and sometimes even child abuse. http://www.smalljustice.com/index2.html

Comment - Drain the swamp and there will be no more mosquitoes
By attacking Iraq, the US will invite a new wave of terrorist attacks
Noam Chomsky Monday September 9, 2002 The Guardian
September 11 shocked many Americans into an awareness that they had better pay much closer attention to what the US government does in the world and how it is perceived.
Don't blame the oil men for talking up a war
by Anthony Sampson.
As George W Bush uncompromisingly confronts both Iraq
and Saudi Arabia - the two great gas stations, as some
Americans are calling them - the question looms larger:
if war comes, will it really be a war to control the
oil?
Mo Mowlam, the former cabinet minister, has no
doubts. "Under the cover of the war on terrorism," she
wrote in The Guardian yesterday, "the war to secure oil
supplies could be waged. This whole affair has nothing
to do with a threat from Iraq - there isn't one."
Certainly George Bush and his vice president Dick
Cheney, both former oilmen, are fully aware of the need
to safeguard Iraq's oil supplies for the West. "He sits
on top of 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves,"
Cheney said last month. "He has enormous wealth being
generated by that." ....Anthony Sampson is author of The Seven Sisters, an
investigation of oil and politics in the Middle East

CounterPunch August 28, 2002 The Secret Sharers The CIA, the Bush Gang and the Killing of Frank Olson by Chris Floyd
"the "Gehlen Organization" stayed secret for another 26 years. But in July 1975, Ford had still more worries. A top White House aide, Dick Cheney, sent a memo to Rumsfeld, warning him about an upcoming lawsuit. The family of Frank Olson had found out--through the Congressional investigations--that he had been secretly drugged by the CIA not long before he took that fall from the hotel window. Now they were suing the government for damages. The lawsuit could be bad business, Cheney told Rumsfeld. "It might be necessary to disclose highly classified national security information" during the trial. That would include the truth about Olson: the CIA connection, biochemical weapons, the mind-control and torture experiments based on Nazi death-camp "research," and the Agency fingerprints all over Olson's last days in New York City.
