The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

On, April 09, 2008, I wrote a column with a headline that said the following, " The State Of Texas Has Opened Up A Hornet's Nest."

I was speaking of the Brown Shirts from Child Protective Services who had raided the Mormon polygamist compound in that state. Acting under the guise of protecting the children at this compound, CPS, and hordes of local law enforcement personnel, swooped down on the compound, and forcibly removed an estimated 460 children from their mothers. CPS took this unprecedented action based on a telephone call from a "16-Year-Old Girl." The alleged caller said that young girls were being forced to marry older men; and that many had conceived children, under the stringent rules of this sect.

I felt that something was wrong from the very outset. First of all, authorities never could produced the "16-Year-Old Girl." Although they assured us that she was "Around." When all of the lies stopped, it turned out that there was "Never A 16-Year-Old Girl." For sure, a female had called CPS. However, the female turned out to be a "Crack-Pot Black Woman" from the state of Colorado. Apparently, this nut, in her spare time, got her jollies by making phony phone calls.

Our "Elite Media" never held CPS' feet to the fire. They kept reporting on what a great job that CPS had done in removing the children from harm's way. And, reporters with "Puppy Dog Eyes," looked into the cameras, night after night, decrying what a terrible place this compound was. I heard one knuckleheaded radio personality in my area say, "Have You Noticed How All Of The Women Dress The Same, And Talk The Same Way?"

This idiot failed to realize that there are "Christian Churches" in our communities, where people, (1) Dress In The Same manner, (2) And They Talk With The Same Inflection(s).

The national media as is customary, held a "Feeding Frenzy" on a nightly basis. Never mind the fact that the "Constitutional Rights" of these people had been abridged. Never mind the fact that all it takes is for some disgruntled neighbor to do is, put in a phone call to CPS, "Whisper" that she has noticed something strange about your children, and quicker than you can say, "The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Fence," CPS will be knocking at your door, demanding that you turn your children over to them, for processing and placement in a "Good, And Nurturing, Foster Care Home!"

This is what is frightening about stalinist agencies like CPS. These people have unfettered control over the lives of parents in this country. And in the Texas case, they proved that they felt, "They Were Above The Law."

All that I can say is thank God for the Texas Court Of Appeals. This high court told CPS the following:

"CPS failed to establish that the need for protection of the children was urgent and required immediate removal of the children"

The court has "Ordered" CPS to appeal their decision, or turn the children over to their parents in ten days. Thus far, we have no indication what CPS will do. But, I betting that these arrogant people will appeal the court's ruling.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is about "Power And Control." It is as simple as that.  Had CPS really thought that these children were, as the court stated, "Needed Urgent Protection," they would have followed the law, and rescued these kids the right way. No way, this was all about CPS flexing its muscle!

The Texas court showed CPS that, "We Still Live In A Democracy."

In the meantime, have you wondered about the "Mental Health Of The Children And Their Parents." I know that I have. The socialists media as Rush Limbaugh aptly calls them, "The Drive-By Media," has moved onto its next victims. They don't give a damn about what happens to these people. They have ginned up their ratings; and for the "DRIVE- BYS, END OF STORY!

As a Clinical Psychologist, I can tell you, these kids "Were Not" treated by specialists. Community mental health agencies aren't top heavy with therapists, who know how to deal with people involved in cults. So what do these people get, in the way of therapy. I would say the standard, "Ah, And How Did That Make You Feel?" Or, "Share With Me, What Is Going On For You!"

Sorry, but that just "Ain't Going To Get It." These folks needed specially trained psychotherapists. But, that "Would Cost Money." And, there is no way, "Jose," that the state of Texas is going to go to it coffers and spend money on specialists. So, these people were hit with "Trauma, Number One," no specialists to talk to. Next, the children were shipped off to foster care. Now if you think the state of Texas placed these kids in the homes of people who have knowledge of cults, "Boy Are You Wrong."

Face it, these childrena and their parents were treated like yesterday's trash!

I say this because Child Protective Services rushed into this compound, like bulls in a china shop. They were on a mission to show these people, "Who Was Boss." Again, this goes for you as well, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. So, don't think that you are safe from false accusations.

I want to be clear, like I was in my original column, "I Am In No Way Supporting Pedophilia, Incest, Or Children Marrying Dirty Old Men."

However, I am a firm believer in a "Living, Breathing Democracy." I will fight tooth and nail against the oppressors of our Democratic way of life. And yes, that includes such brazen agencies as CPS.

If there was true criminality taking place at that Texas compound, "Protect The Children." But, do it according "To The Law." Not, according to the whims of some "Arrogant Beauracrat."

Today, these people have had not only the Constitutional Rights taken away from them by a "Bunch Of Thugs." They have been stripped of their dignity!

Who will give them these priceless things back?
