member of VAWA national advisory committee indicted

[dr e]

A member of the national advisory committee for the VAWA, you know, that committee that ignores repeated testimony about how men are victims of domestic violence, you know, the one that simply doodles and waits for lunch as a stream of experts beg and plead for monies for male victims.  Well one of those people committe has been indicted:

This past week, a grand jury indicted her on two felony counts of kidnapping and one count of trafficking methamphetamine.

Here's another article on this.

Is Barbara involved a bit in violence against men?

I will let you draw your own conclusions.

Funny how the worm turns isn't it Doc? Don't you just love seeing the pompous self consuming elitist pricks get theirs? Everybody gets their in the end, one way or another. I look at this as a plus.

Yes DJ, you are right, the worm is really turning on this one.  The latest news is that this woman is now being accused of  having fabricated the DV in the first place.  The family of the boyfriend are now claiming that this woman is a false accuser and has whipped everyone from the media to the politicians into an emotional frenzy about domestic violence that didn't exist!  You can read the family's version of things here, it's a shocker.

the family's version

Anyway you look at it it's pretty bizarre but otoh it reflects on a personal level what we are seeing on a national level.  Domestic violence is exagerated and framed in a way that is far from the truth, that women are solely the victims and men are solely the perps.  Then the media and politicians are whipped into a frenzy with heart wrenching stories that tell only half the story.  Then the fabricators are given jobs, money and awards for their fabrications.  They go on talk shows and are revered and blessed by our special interest group leeches.  They are funneled billions of dollars to fight their fantasy of reality and heaven forbid anyone question their brittle grasp on the real world.  When that happens they are simply victimized once again and the cycle continues.

Maybe this happened at just the right time.  Once the political cowards get wind of this they will be much more leery to cozy up to these people.  They will start to wonder if those from their state who seem like Barbara Dehl could be liars as well.  They are quickly becoming a political liability.  For that I am very very grateful.

What I do know is that one member of that evil committee is now in jail having had her lies exposed.  How many other Barbara Dehl's do you think are on that committee?  There may not be anyone as blatant as Dehl but I think there are quite a few who have similar dynamics cooking.   I am looking forward to the time that  the lies are exposed on a national level and we can live in a world that has compassion for all people, not just a select few.

This also makes me wonder about the nature of today's press.

We have freedom of press, censorship is forbidden. Why is that? Because the truth is paramount and suppressing discourse by the government does not further the discovery of truth.

However, in these times, the main threat to the truth does not come from the outside, but from the inside. From a corrupted, gullible, lazy press, journalists more concerned with their career than their responsibility.

Maybe it would be time to hold journalists accountable for what they wreak. Some sort of media integrity council to judge those that do damage. After all, if a doctor makes a mistake and a person is hurt or a life is lost, he is held accountable. Are journalists above this? I don't think so.

Or maybe the whole idea of a commercial press isn't so good. Maybe the press should be a non-profit institution, tax-funded. Isn't the truth something for the good of all society?

Just my 2 cents.
