Sex Offender Registry - Part of a Plan for Global Domination?


Sex Offender Registry is Part of a Plan for Global Domination

Governments all over the world are using the sex offender issue as an excuse to share data on their citizens with foreign governments. At first it was States. Now with International Megan's Law it is Countries.

You need to know about something called the Seven Mountains Mandate: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-wilson/palin-pastors-ensign-c-st_b_236259.html This is basically an outline for control of the world by Christian Fundamentalists who wish to establish a Theocracy. This doctrine is espoused by Loren Cunningham who's son Davis recently gained access to CIA headquarters for his 911 documentary.

Loren Cunningham established a cult group called YWAM in the 1960's. It is now a huge international organization.

You may think this is nutball stuff but I can assure you that a lot of people believe in it.

You may remember Ruth Lunsford mentioning that they don't talk to their neighbours much in one of her interviews. She also mentioned that Jessica Lunsford belonged to a group called King's Kids. King's Kids is a feeder group for YWAM.

Kent turns down expanding rules for sex offenders: Instead, City Council creates task force to probe community education about the issue

http://www.recordpub.com/news/article/5132930


By Kyle McDonald | Staff Writer

Kent City Council established a task force to examine community education about sexual predators
Wednesday after rejecting an ordinance to impose living restrictions on sex offenders.

The task force, proposed by Councilman Garrett Ferrara, will create dialogue between the Kent’s Board of
Education, Safety Department and city administration to explore the effectiveness of current public education about sex offenders and if more can be done.

“I expect to hear positive results on what is being done already, but you have to send a message to people that it’s a concern and it’s a sensitive issue,” Ferrara said, adding that it will help raise awareness of the issue even current education of predators is found to be effective.

The proposed ordinance council considered, modeled after similar municipal ordinances across the country and offered by Kent Planning Commission member Anthony Catalano, suggested expanding on the state’s restrictions on where sex offenders can live.

Ohio law restricts sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school or daycare center. Catalano suggested increasing that to 2,500 feet and expanding it to include parks, playgrounds and other areas where children gather under council’s discretion.

Kent Police Chief Michelle Lee and Law Director Jim Silver said the ordinance could create more problems than solutions.

Silver said expanding living restrictions up to 2,500 would not leave offenders many, if any, options, and could be considered unconstitutional housing discrimination.

“This type of ordinance could be subject to challenge in a lawsuit and have been challenged across the state and in other state,” he said.

Lee said her research found that similar ordinances can create “a false sense of security” and “studies don’t look good as far as its effectiveness.”

“I’m all for the protection of children and doing what we can do, I just don’t know if this is going to be what it takes,” she said, adding that enforcement would be difficult.
Lee also said that in most cases child sex offenders are known to the victims, with very few instances involving strangers.

Ferrara said the issue doesn’t seem like one that can simply be cured with legislation.

“It appears that education and awareness of the issue is the best defense,” he said.

Sex offenders are required to register with the sheriff’s department in the county where they reside. A full list of registered Portage County sex offenders and their addresses can be found at http://ohio.esorn.net/portage.>

Great overview of Sex offense

SEX OFFENSES INFORMATION CENTER
A felony sex offense charge requires immediate intervention from a criminal defense attorney who knows how to protect your rights and negotiate the best possible result according to the facts and applicable law. Do not delay.

Sex Offenses - An Overview

Sex offenses include a myriad of criminal sexual behaviors, ranging from prostitution to rape. If you or one of your family members is facing a sex-offense charge, it is very important to obtain the legal representation of an experienced criminal defense attorney like one at Ronald L. Ecker II of Melbourne, Florida. The penalties for a sex offense conviction can be serious and life-changing, but many defenses are available. Contacting an attorney as soon as possible allows the evidence to be evaluated and witnesses to be questioned soon after the event.

What Is A Sex Offense?

Sex offenses include all forms of illegal sexual activity, ranging from the crime of rape, usually defined as sexual penetration without consent, to the crime of prostitution, usually defined as sex for hire. The most serious crimes involve the sexual assault of children or include physical injury. Other sex offenses include public indecency, voyeurism, prostitution, solicitation, pornography, date rape, lewd acts, pandering, pimping, statutory rape and unlawful sodomy.

Rape, Sexual Assault, Date Rape and Statutory Rape

Unwanted sex acts are generally regarded as rape. However, these criminal offenses are also commonly referred to as "sexual abuse" or "sexual assault." A wide range of activities may be included under these definitions. Statutory rape, for instance, is sexual activity with a person under the legal age of consent. Date rape is a nonlegal term for forcible sexual activity between people who know one another during a social engagement. Regardless of the circumstances, there are serious penalties for individuals found guilty of these sex crimes. Prosecutors and the police focus on sexual offenses, so if you or someone you know is accused of or arrested for a sex crime, you need to contact an attorney immediately. Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney to discuss your situation.

Victimless Sex Offenses

A victimless crime, sometimes termed a consensual crime, a crime without victims or a complainantless crime is a "crime that is considered to have no direct victim, usually because only consenting adults are involved." Black's Law Dictionary. State laws regarding victimless sex offenses vary greatly, but state statutes typically address victimless sex offenses such as prostitution, pandering, solicitation, indecent exposure and illegal possession of pornography. The penalties for victimless sex offenses, such as solicitation of a minor or child pornography, are severe; often involving felony convictions, jail or prison time, sexual offender treatment programs and lifetime registration as a sexual offender. For other offenses such as indecent exposure, the penalties are generally less severe; they range from fines and community service to felony charges and incarceration. If you have been arrested for a victimless sex offense, contact a law firm immediately to schedule a consultation with a criminal defense attorney who can clearly explain your rights and options.
Read More

Sex Offender Registry

All states require sex offender registration of some kind. Individuals convicted as sex offenders must register their addresses with law enforcement. Sex offenders must also send updates whenever they change addresses and must keep their registration information current. Some states require sex offenders to verify information on a yearly basis via mail or more frequently if deemed violent predators. States have different requirements regarding what offenses require registration and for what periods of time. Additionally, some offenses that are more serious may require registration for life. Serious crimes vary by state, but most commonly include repeat offenders, violent sexual offenders and those who commit sexual crimes against children. If you are concerned about your status under these rules, contact a knowledgeable attorney from our firm for help and advice.
Read More

False Allegations

False allegations may occur, most often in child sex-abuse situations. An adult may have influenced a child's allegation or the child may have based his or her accusation on an overactive imagination. Public awareness of child abuse has increased and more reports of possible abuse are being made, but not all reports are substantiated. Also, even good-faith accusations may not be true and false allegations may be made to harm the accused. If you find yourself the victim of false allegations, a criminal defense attorney can help you take immediate action to defend yourself.

December voting for theShiitake Awards which spotlights the worst stories of the year from people and business who exploit former offenders to promote causes, generate votes or raise money.

Sorry to those who received this message already, but I am still looking for voters for the annual Shiitake Awards Show. Go to the link to vote:


The annual Shiitake Awards spotlights the worst stories of the year from people and business who exploit former offenders to promote causes, generate votes or raise money. 

In addition to being a fun project, it is also a site that spotlights some of the craziest and most unbelievable stories that illustrate the extent of sex offender insanity in America. That is why this project is important to me. 

Thus, if you've voted already, could you forward it to others? I have only about 50 voters so far, would like to see at least twice that, and possibly break some tie votes.

Calling all Women! We Need Your Help!


New post on The Sex Crimes Witch Hunt

Calling all Women! We Need Your Help!

by witchhunt33
A letter from RSODL to women everywhere.
Dear Women of America,
Something very serious is happening and we need your help to stop it.
A small group of lobbyists are gradually turning the United States of America into a concentration camp.
Sex offender legislation has gone too far. Men are being forced to sleep under bridges, live in tent cities or flea ridden hotels across the nation. Many of these men have done nothing more than urinate in public or have teenage girlfriends when they were young.  These men are becoming victims of ignorant vigilantes and are finding it extremely difficult to secure employment. Rehabilitation is becoming almost impossible for these men under the present climate.
730 000 American men are now on the Sex Offenders Registry and the number is growing every day. These men could be your son, husband, brother, father etc.
Men who have been forced underground because of the Witch Hunt are being tracked down and sent to prison for failure to register. Many men who are refusing to register are either victims of injustice or minor offenders. A large number of men who are sent to prison for failure to register have never been to prison in the first place because their offenses were so minor. We understand that it is not ok to touch a woman’s buttocks. However going to prison for this is just too much and this whole thing needs to stop before it causes irreparable damage to society. We believe that the vast majority of women love men and understand this.
The people these measures are really designed to track can be counted on one hand in each state. Child killers are extremely rare.
Women of America we need your help to stop this Witch Hunt. Nobody will listen to men anymore about these issues. In fact the idea of becoming a Teacher, Scout Leader, Swimming Coach, Child Therapist, Doctor etc is now more and more frightening for men.
Sex offenders are not as dangerous as the Witch Hunt Feminists would have you believe. Even serious sex offenders have a very low recidivism rate. They have the lowest recidivism rate of all offenses except murder. Despite popular belief even 87% of Paedophiles never offend again once they have been punished.
RSODL (Rehabilitated Sex Offenders Defense League) asks all American Women to help us to educate the public about the Sex Offenders Registry before it is too late. We cannot count on men because they are so afraid to speak out about this. The politicians are using it as a cynical vote getting tactic and the database companies are paying parents of victims hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby for legislation.
We believe in you.
Best regards,
William
RSODL




Child Molester Sues Former Tenant on Judge Pirro



The judge conducted this hearing terribly:
1. The "child molestation" charge was completely irrelevant to this case and should have been disregarded.
2. The girlfriend should not have been questioned about her knowledge of his past criminal record, irrelevant to this case.
3. The judge displayed extreme bias towards the plaintiff following knowledge of his past record, evident in her behavior.
4. The ruling reflected this bias by nullifying the claim and awarding the defendant.

"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect."
~Adlia Stevenson U.S. Vice President (1893–1897) and Congressman (1879–1881)

On a Personal Note

Thanks for the opportunity to express my thoughts regarding the issue of citizens’ rights, particularly addressing certain sex offenders’ crimes that do not fit the devastating, inequitable and endless punishment given.


As you know, many young men and women lives across the nation are being destroyed by incarceration, life-time registry and restrictive laws that do more harm than good. For those individuals, there is no second chance.

Below is a personal letter to President Obama:
* * * *
“Dear President Obama,

I truly agree with your sentiments that individuals, such as ex-felons, should be able to receive a second chance at life. Since we all know that one can veer off that path of life and travel along rough, rocky terrain, sometimes running off and ending up in some ditch. We all have made our fill of mistakes and sometimes those held a costly consequence that changed life forever. So we lived through it, trying harder to make things right with family, friends and those around us, but what about those who aren’t able to make things right even if they tried…because they’re labeled as too dirty, a leper, a person who is rejected from society and home.


But what if they’re a seventeen year old and had sex with a fifteen year old, consensual at that? Or they’re a teen that had gotten so enraged after a breakup that he sent out naked pictures of his girlfriend on his cell phone or email? Or an individual urinates where someone just happens to see them?


All are wrong and a travesty but do they deserve the life of no second chance with a registry that ends all. They are labeled, no jobs, no where to live…they have been deemed a menace to society, a plague. These certain circumstances, and many other situations similar to these, I believe still deserve a second change.

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution


Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


After my son’s early release and two years of prison, I thought I had handled that fact graciously knowing after serving his time he would be able to get that fresh start, that second chance. He was an exemplary inmate, GED, college courses and vocational classes. Little did I know that a second chance on the outside was the farthest from the truth? He now struggles and lives in a trailer park sharing a trailer with another and surrounded by others in the same rocking boat, one to float endlessly in shark infested waters. I see him little because of probation requirements (he couldn’t live with us because we were 800 feet near a school). My family is afraid of what would happen to them if he lived with them…vigilantism. My son has no other place to stay since others condemn him of his crime that is screamed from the highest rooftop. Sex offender, sex offender!

Not all sex offenders are pedophiles or predators but some are simply young kids that make one stupid and rash decision that eventually changes everything, and they have no idea what they’ve done until their life is never their own. Exactly, where is that second chance for those sex-offenders who are lumped together with pedophiles and predators? Now, it makes me sick to think of my son’s future and many like him that are on the registry and many with no second chance…ever. I am asking you as a mother and as another concerned citizen of the United States that these laws are looked at again and taken into serious consideration in what they are doing to the Constitution of the United States, not for sex offenders in general but the future rights of every citizen, before anymore are put into effect. They unjustly strip an offender of their rights and place them in a guillotine that can be easily set off by anyone and at anytime. Where is the second chance for ex-sex offenders in the present, pending and future laws?”
* * * *
What truly saddens me is the weakness and deterioration of what the sex offense issue is doing to our once, great nation. Across Europe, others are seeing the injustice and disregard of rights, but we ignore this problem and it makes me wonder where humanity is heading….

We have become a hysterical society in which our latest witch-hunt is a sex offender--no matter his/her crime.

Below is a email sent from a foreign advocate to a father of a sex offender:
* * * *
“The tragic story of your son's death is just so sad that it's difficult to explain how. It was very hard to read your letters. It seems almost unbelievable that this can take place in a democracy! From our point of view, there is no justice in this. Not in any way: not for you, your son, the former girl friend – or even the state.

It is an abusive legal system. It seems barbaric. And we are so very sorry that this takes place. That's why it's so important for us to try to neutralize the debate with this…, hopefully making some changes. ….. to show the every day life of the sex offenders, trying to show how they keep on being punished, even after served prison time…..But we will for sure tell the story of the injustice that your son has been exposed to.”
* * * *
I appreciate everyone's commitment and backing to protect everyone's civil rights, plainly as noted in the Constitution of the United States and is presupposed, giving ALL men are “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.”
