Time To Expose The Hunters, Once Again - Secrecy Is Toxic (Part 1e)



 *****

Ah, the inevitable dawning, of actual, total, failure begins to set in. So it will always be the case ...





*****

The reason for your imminent failure, is that you do not understand the difference, between danger and risk, inchoacy and victim-based offences; 'the system' does, although, for sociopolitical reasons, it is unable to say so, in public.

You started as newbies, and continued to fail, spending your own time and money, on a pointless, yet damaging, expensive, hate-filled, debacle.

It will end soon, be mature and wise, end it now.

The OSC

Always worth a watch ...

... and not one child 'saved', but, a present and future of damage, destruction and negative outcomes - what is going to have to take, for you to learn ... a dead child, or more, like the USA learned, to its cost?

The Highest Respect For The Law

The law of solitude

The cause of everyone’s misfortunes is their inability to sit quietly in a room.” Blaise Pascal

*****

"The many possession offences include possession of certain drugs; racially abusive or threatening material; various forms of pornography or depictions of abuse; firearms or ammunition without a certificate; explosives; false identity documents; or even a television without a licence. And, of course, the object does not have to be in the same room (or same building) as you; you just need to have sufficient awareness and control for a prosecutor to show that the banned item was in your possession.

Wrongful thoughts

And it is the possession offences which bring the citizen in England and Wales the closest to pure “thought-crimes” where, if there was some confession or if the prosecution could prove your culpable intention beyond reasonable doubt, the possession of any object can in limited circumstances be a crime."

Judge spares sex abuser from jail in line with daughter’s wishes

"Suspended sentence for businessman OH after pleading guilty to indecent assault

Judge Carroll Moran said OH a father of four, was guilty of a breach of trust and the fact he had abused his own child was a further breach of this trust.

A 61-year-old man who subjected his young daughter to years of sexual abuse has avoided a prison sentence after she indicated she did not wish to see him jailed.

Earlier this month, Limerick businessman and former guesthouse owner OH was remanded in custody and warned he would be going to jail after harrowing evidence of the abuse suffered by his young daughter was outlined at Limerick Circuit Court.

Mr H, with an address at Westbury, Co Clare, pleaded guilty to 12 counts of indecent assault of his daughter SR between January 1988 and December 31st, 1990, and a further 20 counts of sexual assault between September 1991 and December 1995.

The offences occurred at the former family homes in Foynes, Kilcornan and Adare in Co Limerick.

Ms R, who waived her right to anonymity, told gardaí the abuse started when she was five years old. She also recalled how she was beaten and chastised by her father for mispronouncing words."

Prison Only Serves To Punish

Federal Judge Refuses Prison Sentence For Convicted Sex Offender

"For a second time, a Detroit federal judge has refused to send a man to prison for possessing thousands of images of child pornography.

A federal appeals court last year had ordered Judge Arthur Tarnow to sentence R again, saying a punishment with no prison didn’t reflect the seriousness of the crime. The images showed bondage and torture.

RR returned to court Thursday and was placed on probation for several more years. Prosecutors had asked for a three-year prison sentence.

WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton noted there are several factors that come into play when a judge determines sentencing."

Take Every Opportunity To Unmask Its Pretensions And Euphemisms

January 2013

Obituary: Stan Cohen, 1942-2013
 – social worker turned sociologist
who coined the term ‘moral panic’

"You may not have heard of Stan Cohen, who has just died, but you will certainly know something of his ideas, and their continuing relevance. Look at the current hysteria around ‘chavs’, ‘asylum seekers’  and ‘shirkers’ or the way Jimmy Savile has come to represent paedophilia  (even though we know that most child abuse takes place within the family), and we are likely to come up with the term ‘moral panic’."

"One I especially warm to is his encouragement for us ‘to stay in your agency or organization, but don’t let it seduce you. Take every opportunity to unmask its pretensions and euphemisms’"

"And most challenging perhaps, ‘In practice and theory, stay “unfinished”. Don’t be ashamed of working for short-term humanitarian or libertarian goals, but always keep in mind the long-term political prospects. This might mean living with the uncomfortable ambiguity that your most radical work will be outside your day-to-day job’"

Perhaps One Day, Judge Graham, Your Sanity Will Be Widespread

Judge says porn-sentencing guidelines not very helpful

"Defendant confined to home for 3 years; prosecutor sought 5 years in prison

A federal judge in Columbus criticized sentencing guidelines for child-pornography offenses today as he imposed a stricter sentence for a Mount Vernon man whose original sentence was rejected by an appeals court.

U.S. District Judge James L. Graham said he “continues to have significant concerns about the helpfulness of those guidelines.”

He made his comments during a re-sentencing hearing for RB, 70, who pleaded guilty in April 2009 to one count of possessing child pornography. Federal sentencing guidelines recommended a sentence of 63 to 78 months."
