Liberals not conservatives opposed legal aid

It has come to my attention that there have been allegations that conservatives hate the idea of legal aid and indignant defense. Allegations that the republican party wants to prevent the poor who can't afford a lawyer from getting one when they are accused of a crime or suffer civil injustice or whatever. Thoughts of a poor single black mother wrongfully accused in a court with rich plaintiffs with 7 digit salary attorneys all alone against a complicated legal system also come to mind.

Relax. It isn't true. In fact it has been found in some cases to be the opposite...

The founding fathers, many of whom were lawyers knew all about the horrors of facing Britain's unjust and complex legal system. They were also aware of how many others suffered at the hands of British Admiralty courts and so on in the years preceding the American revolution. That is why the founding fathers wrote the sixth Amendment into the Constitution.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.



This, from the same founding fathers that libertarians and Conservatives have long supported and whose wisdom we enshrine in our attitudes and how America should be run. The founders included this and other checks and balances so that defendants could have due process and be given a fair trial.

But liberals however hate the idea of freedom and liberty. That is why bit by bit the Constitution has been torn up. The liberals have supported and promoted gun control to ban the right to self defense and to prevent the people from overthrowing their reign and by suppressing freedom of speech and freedom of the press, ETC. So it should come to no surprise that if liberals oppose at least one amendment that they should be against all of them including rights to due process.


Consider a law passed by the flaming liberals of Michigan in 1999. This law barred poor defendants from seeking legal counsel in a criminal appeal. This was passed by the same communist legislature that soaked Michigan with enormous business taxes and regulations that has caused economic meltdown. Michigan currently ties with Maine in having the worst climate for setting businesses and creating jobs. Now they are taking away our due process rights. The law was recently struck down by the Supreme court with help from the ACLU.

Too bad... Conservatives could have taken the initiative over the ACLU to point out how liberals are the ones trashing our civil liberties instead of this Bolshevik lie that the GOP is out to get everyone.


So you might ask, what about Conservatives? What about those in the middle doing a deed for the poor?

Enter Nebraska Legal aid. NLA especially its offices in Lincoln and Omaha are busy helping those in need. Although NLA doesn't hold to any one viewpoint, they do support libertarian and Conservative viewpoints. One of NLA's biggest supporters is Republican congressman, Lee Terry.

Ann C Mangeamelli is one of the attorneys hard at work in the legal aid firm, helping the poor in a variety of cases from criminal to denial of Social Security benefits. One of her cases involved a client named Kyle who was being denied retroactive benefits by his abusive father and former rep payee and by the Social Security administration.

Kyle lived in a run down apartment building in downtown Omaha and made only 577 a month in benefits. His rent was 320 a month. He had very little to pay bills and food and had difficulty getting enough to eat. To make matters worse because the retroactive pay was due to him he could not get food stamps or government assistance. He had to rely on soup kitchens such as the Open door mission and Angels on wheels ministry.

The Social security administration, made up of liberals did not care. In fact they even supported the abusive payee against him and even attempted to force him to have another abusive payee. When Kyle called to complain or inquire about his retro funds, he was always told false information and many agents were rude to him. One, after revealing that Social security no longer has anything for him immediately hung up.

Aren't liberals supposed to be caring and sympathetic to the poor?

Nebraska Legal Aid however went to work on Kyle's case and threatened a lawsuit against Kyle's father and former payee if the money was not returned. In addition, NLA confronted SSA and demanded an inquiry. Although no charges were filed against Social security in Omaha NLA succeeded in retrieving the funds.

"I hate the government." Says Ann who has experienced many hang ups and difficulties in pursuing cases for beneficiaries and others who have been unfairly short changed by the state the liberals claim will take care of us. "Its not necessarily that they don't want to its just they can't get their act together. I called about the funds and they said that they didn't have it. Then when I explained that it should be there she said, oh! Wait! Let me update my computer... OH! There it is."

Ann also helped defend Kyle from being forced to have another payee. "I asked why social security what the hold up was and they said that they had concerns that he needed a payee." The concerns came from phone calls from Kyle's dad. His father invented lies about his son and with only hear say evidence made Kyle's dad rep payee. After appealing Kyle won but did not get back the funds and was homeless for awhile. Kyle Struggled with the SSA but they were unsympathetic. They did not care or have sympathy and even swept the problems under the rug.

Ann confronted them saying "What makes you think my client needs a payee? I'm not a psychiatrist but Kyle's paying rent and bills on time, he's rented an apartment before, he's not on drugs or alcohol so I don't understand what the deal is? Then she said, OH! Okay! I thought he was still at the rescue mission!" It turned out that Social Security failed to properly update his address. Although it was known he had an apartment, the computers did not properly update that information. Social security has a history of making mistakes with addresses.

In the end Kyle won. It was not from the help of liberals but people who were moderate to conservative against liberals. The opposite it turns out is true.

Psychiatrists have a tendency to be hard core leftists. They oppose letting their patients appeal involuntary commitment with the help of legal aids. A refutation of diagnosis after all undermines their authority. It wasn't until half a century ago that involuntary commitment hearings allowed defendants to have legal counsel.

Dr. Tai P Yoo is in charge of the involuntary commitment ward of Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield California. One of the patients in his ward suffered from Post traumatic stress brought on from an abusive relationship that lead to homelessness. The victim arrived there and was found to be poorly nourished and had low blood sugar and was under weight. The victim had lost everything due to the relationship and was in a bad state.

Despite the history of physical and psychological abuse, Tai P Yoo and his staff dismissed the allegations of abuse as delusions. There were no mention of it in evaluations. Dr Yoo got in touch with the abusive relative and arranged for the victim to be discharged back into his care. The victim was denied legal counsel and involuntarily put back into the relationship.

Six months later, the victim was physically assaulted and was homeless again.

Sylvia Klieber of Modesto California was also placed under similar circumstances. Wrongfully placed under state guardianship, Sylvia was denied legal resources and was forbidden to call an attorney. Her only contact with the outside world was her mother who was the only one providing her calling cards for her attorney and food. Beverly Bresso, the guardian in charge and the leftists of California DHHS and protective services neglected her and prevented access to legal resources.

Finally a rebuttal for one other argument. One of the libs biggest arguments has to do with a policy by Ronald Reagan where he made cuts to federal legal aid. Reagan even intended to cut it off completely. Why?

First of all, Reagan only wanted to get rid of Federal legal aid. States already had their own programs and Reagan encouraged funding to them but at a state level only. Reagan in fact had good reason to abolish the program. First because it was ineffective and second because it was being used for promoting left wing ideology.

Victor Vancier AKA Chaim Ben Pesach was the former chairman of the New York Jewish Defense league. In the eighties, Pesach and several other Jews launched attacks against pro communist targets that promoted the USSR or did business with them such as Chase Manhattan Bank and Soviet Embassy. Pesach also tear gassed the Russian ballet while it visited. His actions helped force the USSR to allow Russian Soviet Jews to leave and go to Israel.

Chiam had federal charges leveled against him. Federal legal aid came to provide service but he got no sympathy from them. Chaim's attorney was a liberal who botched his case deliberately. He also lied to the New York Times about certain points of the case.

Federal Legal aid funds have also been used to advance liberal causes such as abortion, gun control, affirmative action and so on. No doubt Reagan had a good intention of shutting down this organization. It was doing no good but liberals want to fund useless organizations. If it moves tax it. It not, subsidize it.

Now there may be a few people out there on the Internet who call themselves Conservative but oppose legal aid for certain reasons. I have heard some people tell me that the poor should not get a free attorney. Well imagine what will happen when the Democrats put you on trial, confiscate your wealth and violate your rights? Who will protect you then? How will you be protected from the liberal police state that looms before us?

In conclusion, the right to legal counsel is one of the most important cornerstones of our justice system. Especially in an age when the Liberals are undermining our freedom, tearing down our civil liberties and blaming everyone else we need it more than ever, especially now in Obama's America.

time flies when your having fun

Yup! I know, I've been away. But Im almost done moving. I have three articles, one one planned economies, one on federal legal aid, and another on regulating individuals.

Thoughts on Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson the King of pop died recently. I thought I'd share what I know about this. Jacko as some of you know faced accusations of child molestation. Did it really happen? The answer is no.

You see several years ago I worked for an organization based in Boston called the Liberty Task force. It was a human rights anti terror group. We studied Michael Jackson's case. It turns out that the problem was not sexual deviancy but a psychological problem brought on from an abusive and non existent childhood. At best it could be called inappropriate behavior.

Michael Jackson grew up working with his brothers in the Jackson 5. Their father Joe Jackson pushed the boys to the limit. There have been allegations of abuse such as an incident where Joe Punched Tito, and locked Latoya in the closet. Michael did not get to enjoy a normal childhood. It was something he regretted all of his life.

Michael tried to recapture it by becoming like a child. He opened the Never land Ranch in order to pursue this goal. His transformations that he underwent over the past 20 years was to change himself into Peter Pan, into a young boy like adult. Michael also had weird pets such as a monkey. I don't remember the exact disorder's name but Michael was affected by it.

It turns out that Michael took his fantasy of being Peter Pan and being a child way over the edge. For example it was alleged that they swam in a pool naked, that they played inappropriate games ETC. These are similar things that children experience. This brought about accusations and eventually charges. Michael Hornsby, the founder of Liberty Task Force predicted that the only way Michael Jackson could get out of his situation was to play the race card and claim that racism was a motive for accusations.

Michael was right. With the help of older Jackson 5 member Germaine, a convert to Islam, Michael's attorney's convinced jury members that racial hatred was a factor in false accusations and he went free.

Throughout the world Michael Jackson has been interpreted in different ways. In Los Angeles and more urban Area's Michael is still the King of Pop. In more rural, white and suburban places like in New England where I lived, Jackson was considered a deviant and an abomination. Growing up one of the worst things you could call someone was Michael Jackson molester. Even African Americans joined in condemning Jacko.

His death however may change all that. Rather than investing energy and money in a comeback tour, his death may have propelled him to super stardom and to a similar status to Elvis Presley. Even in places where he was despised, many are starting to change their thinking and look upon him in a more positive light.

In closing it should be noted that Michael Jackson's death over shadowed the deaths of celebrities Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon and Billy Mays. I wonder...

Yes folks Im still around

Sadly moving and getting business established in New Hampshire from Maine has been time consuming. Its all worth it but sadly I have been neglecting going to my blog. Of course I have found that there is not a whole lot of activity lately either. I got a few emails asking if I was around. One guy was a freeper, another was a good friend of mine from Texas, YES FOLKS! IM STILL HERE.

One thing is that I do have a few drafts that I intend to get rolling. A good one about the federal legal aid program, another about 4th of July and another about government and some of the insane things happening in Maine. Whew! Glad Im outta there!

Dad's new business is doing alright too. I got one going myself in Somersworth. I'll tell you all about it when it works out. Today or next week I will publish something good.

The falsehood and danger of Asperger syndrome: victim=disabled

Over the past year I have been going over articles about Asperger's syndrome. Asperger's syndrome is considered to be a highly functioning form of autism yet it is also considered to be a disability. Members of the autism community have worked for years trying to downplay the severity of the disorder. I first heard about Asperger's in 1998 while watching a documentary.

Asperger's disorder was first invented by a German doctor named Hans Asperger. (the disorder was named after him.) Asperger did study on children who though they were bright were considered awkward. The world health organization began to use it shortly after his death in 1980 and then by the American Psychiatric Association when it became an official diagnosis in the early 1990s.

Several states including Maine require that children entering school be screened for Asperger's disorder and the criteria for diagnosis has been expanded and over stretched. In the years following the inclusion of Aspergers into the DSM, diagnosis has skyrocketed throughout the nation.


The diagnostic criteria itself is broad and based on certain traits that have nothing to do with mental state but more on social and economic status. Consider a few of what the DSM-IV considers diagnosis, failure to socialize with peers, restricted repetitive interests and inability to find work.

First there is the failure to socialize with peers, this broad criteria applies mainly to children who are feral, who are victims of bullying and abuse. This can also apply to children who are victims of sexual abuse. One victim was diagnosed because he was sexually assaulted by a classmate at school.

Second, there is restricted interests. People especially children are diagnosed simply because of an obsessive and repetitive interest. Owning a rock collection or collecting stamps falls into this category. The current prime minister of Japan is suspected of having Asperger's because of his interest in Anime. This does not take into account individuals who live in restricted settings where their interests and hobbies are curtailed and limited to a few places.

Third and probably another danger is failure to be employed at a job. This does not take into account, economic situations as well as a lack of educational opportunities. Not having a job can be a way to be diagnosed.

The criteria is dangerous as we will see in that anyone can be labeled with Asperger's and with that lose their freedom. Under this broad criteria, everyone of us is in danger of having our freedom and liberty taken by the state in the name of mental treatment.

Though Asperger's patients are viewed as highly functional and intelligent. The Psychiatric community as a whole does not really see it that way. Asperger's is viewed as a form of mental illness such as schizophrenia, autism and bipolar and even grouped as mental retardation. Many times those labeled with Asperger's find themselves under involuntary commitment, guardianship or other situations where they are deprived of liberty and Independence. Many are committed to institutions, other find themselves homeless or in extreme poverty.

I myself have seen the devastation and have told about it on this blog. Stories about innocent people who, because they are outcasts, because they are different or because they have no job are relegated as second class citizens. They are deprived of their liberty, their property and assets.

The media is 50/50 when it comes to portraying Asperger patients. On some instances you will see news stories about bright young children and maybe a TV show about some character with Aspergers such as Jerry from Boston Legal. On other occasions there is talk of how Asperger sufferers are considered to be marginalized and even violent. Several school shooters including the Columbine kids have been labeled as having Aspergers and the news sensations have not done well in depicting them.

All in all, most have been marginalized or denied freedom all because of a diagnosis of Asperger's. A diagnosis as I have said before that is broad and inaccurate. Aspergers is a good way for the government to control and oppress the innocent and for family members to abuse and persecute their family members. The social security administration has also considered individuals with aspergers to be eligible for SSI and that means they can be scammed and have their assets confiscated using the program.

Rod Parsley and his wife Joni are well known televangelists. Rod is pastor of Breakthrough covenant church in Columbus Ohio and they know full well the devastation of Asperger's. Their son, Austin Chandler was diagnosed with Asperger's at the age of two. The doctors were cold toward the Parsleys. In an interview Joni described the tragedy especially when the doctors gave a list of things that Austin would never do. This included finishing school, getting married, holding a job, driving a car riding a bike ETc.

That certainly doesn't sound like a high functioning disorder doesn't it?

The parents were advised to lock up their son in an institution. The parsleys however were not prepared to go quietly. They did not accept what their doctors said and chose to raise Austin as they saw fit. Today Austin is a bright young teenager in high school with a bright future. He is also planning to enter the ministry.

Not everyone is as fortunate as Austin.

Consider Kyle Prince. A web administrator with a wife and a career and bright future. Kyle was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome by a doctor in Acadia Hospital in Bangor Maine after his father physically coerced him to go. After the diagnosis his father was able to destroy his life. Add to this the death of his wife left him in greater shambles. He lost his job and his home as a result and became homeless.

Kyle was diagnosed because he had been raped as a teenager in high school and was bullied there. The faculty and staff did nothing about this. His parents also did nothing and blamed him for what happened. In all of Kyle's jobs, he was required to perform tasks that someone with Aspergers couldn't. He had to recognize faces, communicate efficiently, socialize ETC. But despite being able to do that he was diagnosed anyways.

Currently he is living off SSI. The checks pay barely enough to survive on and he has had to rely on food pantries and charity to get by. His chances at employment have also been affected harshly since many employers have refused to hire him because he was homeless and because he was receiving SSI. Some have even told him in his face why! Its all because of psychiatry that this happened.

Also consider Nate Tseglin of Huntington Beach. Nate was a bright High school student, he had a black belt in Karate but when his parents moved him to schools in Orange he had trouble adapting and was picked on and ostracized by classmates. School psychiatrists diagnosed him with Aspergers despite his recent accomplishments and even though he had been well liked in other schools.

The school also didn't look at Nate as a high functioning individual either. He was taken out of honor classes and put in special ed classes. He was also forced to take strong psyche meds that caused him to have seizures. His parents tried alternatives that worked such as homeopathic therapy but the school and government mental health workers were not impressed and demanded that nate be put back on his meds. They refused and he was taken away and put in a group home. He also was put back on meds and once more had reactions to them.

Nate Tseglin ran away from the group home after repeated abuse by staff back to his parents. This time the state took him and placed him in Fairview Developmental center, a former mental asylum that was supposed to be a place for helping mentally disabled and severely mentally ill teenagers and adults to be independent. That was not the case. Nate was given worse drugs than before, he was placed in a dorm with violent inmates and was kept locked in an isolation cell with no entertainment and fed sparingly. His doctors wrote that he was invalid and recommended indefinite incarceration in an institution.

The Tseglins found out that another reason they were not allowed to see their son and care for him was because according to staff at Fairview, they had the wrong set of beliefs. The Tseglins defected from the USSR in the 1980s and were activists in their community. The staff claimed that they had bizarre and unhealthy mindsets about the government and psychiatry that had to change.

This ordeal lasted for over a year. After a successful lawsuit and an outcry by local activists including activists on the web like yours truly, Nate was set free. Unfortunately Nate still suffers permanent damage from what happened. He will probably never grow up to meet the potential he once had. The parents are planing a civil suit with help from the Citizens commission on Human rights and the ACLU.

So as we can see dear reader, Asperger's is not about high function, its about marginalizing people who are victims and who are poor. You would think something like this especially involving Kyle Prince could only happen in Islamic dictatorships or some backward village in South America. It happened here in our own nation America the land of the free.

As psychiatrists focus more on promoting tyranny of the state and marginalizing the innocent rather than healing minds, we will see more and more labels aimed at innocent people who are only trying to struggle day by day and we will see even greater tyranny here in America.

We should have made him the first black president 10 years ago. We would not be at war and in this mess.
