The drug companies are keeping there employees ignorant.

Might it be time for us as individuals to search for truth. As time goes by I am astounded at the ignorance of the medical system when it comes to the lies of there teachings. If we the public can find the truth – why can’t they? Might it be that they profit more from there own ignorance and would find it too hard to get up out of bed and go to work once they realised there profession was based on collecting profits for there employers, (the drug companies) and filling us, (the patient) with unnecessary and in most cases harmful substances, when in reality it is simply a change in diet that most of us need!

SICKNESS CONTROL 101: FLUORIDE – THE LUNATIC DRUG   “EARTH IS AN INSANE ASYLUM, TO WHICH THE OTHER PLANETS DEPORT THEIR LUNATICS.” –Voltaire (Memnon the Philosopher).     Controversial fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).   Sodium fluoride, a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of aluminum, is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, and military nerve gas. It`s historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of, until some aluminum industries with an overabundance of the stuff sold the public on the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of buying it at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our water supplies, and then DRINKING it.   Yes, a 20,000% markup: Fluoride– intended only for human consumption by people under 14 years of age–is injected into our drinking water supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink 1/2 of one percent of the total water supply, the rest literally goes down the drain as a free hazardous-waste disposal for the chemical industry, where we PAY them so that we can flush their expensive hazardous waste down our toilets. How many salesmen dream of such a deal? (Follow the money.)   Independent scientific evidence repeatedly showing up over the past 50 years reveals that fluoride allegedly shortens our life span, promotes cancer and various mental disturbances, accelerates osteoporosis and broken hips in old folks, and makes us stupid, docile, and subservient, all in one package. There are reports of aluminum in the brain possibly being a causative factor in Alzheimer`s Disease, and evidence points towards fluoride`s strong affinity for aluminum and also its ability to “trick” the blood-brain barrier by looking like the hydrogen ion, and thus allowing chemical access to brain tissue.   Scientists who have attempted to blow the whistle on this mega-bucks PR ploy have consistently been given a very unscientific Black-PR treatment, and thus their valid points disputing the current vested interests never arrive in the press. Follow the money to find the control. In 1952 the slick PR campaign which ramrodded the concept of fluoridation through via our Public Health departments and various dental organizations was likened to a highly-emotional “beer-salesman`s convention” instead of the objective scientific experiment which it should properly have been. It`s continued in that vein right up to present time. To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of this issue, just look at the response given by people (perhaps yourself included?) when the subject of fluoridation comes up. Ask yourself, “Is this response EMOTIONAL BLUSTER, or is it UNBIASED AND OPENLY- INTERESTED OBJECTIVITY?” There is a tremendous amount of emotional, highly unscientific know-it-all ! attached to fluoridation. Many truly independent (unattached to any vested-interest) scientists who`ve spent a large portion of their lives studying and working with this subject have been subjected to a surprising amount of uncalled-for and unfair character assassination from strong vested- interest groups who profit from the public`s ignorance as well as from their illnesses. (Follow the money.)   Do you have diabetes or kidney disease? There are reportedly more than 11 million Americans with diabetes. Since many diabetics drink more liquids than other people, then according to the Physicians Desk Reference these 11 million Americans probably shouldn`t drink fluoridated water, because in doing so, they`ll receive an excessive dose of fluoride.   Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of the kidneys, which is your main route of fluoride elimination. –So those people with kidney disease also shouldn`t drink fluoridated water. Cases are on record (Annapolis, Maryland, 1979) where kidney patients on dialysis machines died, due to a fluoride overdose in the city water supply. Let`s begin at the beginning:   The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany`s Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride`s supposed effect on children`s teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: “The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben” by Joseph Borkin.)   The following letter was received by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954, from Mr. Charles Perkins, a chemist:   “I have your letter of September 29 asking for further documentation regarding a statement made in my book, The Truth About Water Fluoridation, to the effect that the idea of water fluoridation was brought to England from Russia by the Russian Communist Kreminoff. “In the 1930`s, Hitler and the German Nazi`s envisioned a world to be dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population by water medication that would produce sterility in women, and so on. In this scheme of mass-control, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place. …   “Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual`s power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. [A convenient light lobotomy]   “The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children`s teeth. If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could be done that are much easier, cheaper, and far more effective. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty.   “When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go into Poland, both the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to communize the world. …   “I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great IG Farben chemical industries and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years` research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine–any person who drinks artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person mentally or physically.” CHARLES E. PERKINS, Chemist, 2 October 1954. __________________________   Quoting Einstein`s nephew, Dr. E.H. Bronner (a chemist who had also been a prisoner of war during WWII) in a letter printed in The Catholic Mirror, Springfield, MA, January 1952:   “It appears that the citizens of Massachusetts are among the `next` on the agenda of the water poisoners.   “There is a sinister network of subversive agents, Godless `intellectual` parasites, working in our country today whose ramifications grow more extensive, more successful and more alarming each new year and whose true objective is to demoralize, paralyze and destroy our great Republic–from within if they can, according to their plan–for their own possession. “The tragic success they have already attained in their long siege to destroy the moral fiber of American life is now one of their most potent footholds towards their own ultimate victory over us.   “Fluoridation of our community water systems can well become their most subtle weapon for our sure physical and mental deterioration. …   “As a research chemist of established standing, I built within the past 22 years, 3 American chemical plants and licensed 6 of my 53 patents. Based on my years of practical experience in the health-food and chemical field, let me warn: fluoridation of drinking water is criminal insanity, sure national suicide. Don`t do it.   “Even in small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective antidote has been found. Every exterminator knows that it is the most efficient rat-killer. … Sodium fluoride is entirely different from organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate needed by our bodies and provided by nature, in God`s great providence and love, to build and strengthen our bones and our teeth. This organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate, derived from proper foods, is an edible organic salt, insoluble in water and assimilable by the human body, whereas the non-organic sodium fluoride used in fluoridating water is instant poison to the body and fully water soluble. The body refuses to assimilate it. “Careful, bonafide laboratory experimentation by conscientious, patriotic research chemists, and actual medical experience, have both revealed that instead of preserving or promoting `dental health,` fluoridated drinking water destroys teeth, before adulthood and after, by the destructive mottling and other pathological conditions it actually causes in them, and also creates many other very grave pathological conditions in the internal organisms of bodies consuming it. How can it be called a “health” plan? What`s behind it?   “That any so-called “doctors” would persuade a civilized nation to add voluntarily a deadly poison to its drinking water systems is unbelievable. It is the height of criminal   insanity. “No wonder Hitler and Stalin fully believed and agreed from 1939 to 1941 that, quoting from both Lenin`s Last Will and Hitler`s Mein Kampf:   “America we shall demoralize, divide, and destroy from within.” …   “Are our Civil Defense organizations and agencies awake to the perils of water poisoning by fluoridation? Its use has been recorded in other countries. Sodium fluoride water solutions are the cheapest and most effective rat killers known to chemists: colorless, odorless, tasteless; no antidote, no remedy, no hope: Instant and complete extermination of rats. …   “Fluoridation of water systems can be slow national suicide, or quick national liquidation. It is criminal insanity–treason!” Dr. E.H. Bronner, Mfg. Research Chemist, Los Angeles. _____   Earliest available Russian fluoride evidence: (APFN NOTE: THIS INFO WAS FAXED VIA APFN IN 1993) http://enteract.com/~mgfree/Medical/Fluorine/FluorineApathy.html   “I, Oliver Kenneth Goff, was a member of the Communist Party and the Young Communist League, from May 2, 1936, to October 9, 1939. During this period of time, I operated under the alias of John Keats with number 18-B-2. My testimony before the Government is in Volume 9 of the Un-American Activities Report for 1939.   “While a member of the Communist Party, I attended Communist training schools in New York and Wisconsin … and we were trained in the revolutionary overthrow of the U.S. Government. “… We discussed quite thoroughly the fluoridation of water supplies and how we were using it in Russia as a tranquilizer in the prison camps. The leaders of our school felt that if it could be induced into the American water supply, it would bring about a spirit of lethargy in the nation, where it could keep the general public docile during a steady encroachment of Communism. We also discussed the fact that keeping a store of deadly fluoride near the water reservoir would be advantageous during the time of the revolution, as it would give us opportunity to dump this poison into the water supply and either kill off the populace or threaten them with liquidation, so that they would surrender to obtain fresh water.

SAMANTHISM – By Rev., Dr., Samantha Rayn Bachman

SAMANTHISM

 Most of us have created a life far from what we wanted and are living in a state of numbness and denial to get away from our self created emotional pain, as opposed to the joyous state we should be in.

Deep in our hearts we know we are more and we belong to something larger.

It seems as life has gone on we have drifted further and further away from our knowledge of Truth and our connection with creation itself.

We have lost our connection to the current – the energy of life and creation. 

It’s time once again to know the Truth about reality, who we are and all that we are possible of.

 SAMANTHISM is a philosophy of life that teaches you how to create harmony and peace in life to enable you to create what you want out of life.

 SAMANTHISM on LIFE: 

“With all the ‘self-help’, ‘laws of how to’ and ‘you-can-do-it’ information out there – including how to “succeed-in-business” and take control of your life, we are no better off – in fact, we have more depression, feelings of hopelessness and  financial debt than ever.

 We are unhealthy, unhappy and way from our true potential as humans”, says Samantha.

We appear to be happy, yet we are dis-eased and suffer emotionally. Our happiness is brought about by the wants of our Ego. We never really know our self let alone connect fully with another. All our relationships are shallow and mostly Ego driven. 

We have lost connection with our children and have raised them on a diet of poisons and drama.

The toxic unnatural foods we feed them are robbing them of their physical strength and energy.

The TV and the drama that goes with it is robbing them of their emotions and their identity, they are judging them selves against what they see on TV or in the media.

 We have become ‘Fakes’ and are living a delusion of what we think life is.

We smile as if all is perfect, yet inside we are tormented and tortured by the lies our Ego has created to cover our pain and our Truth.

Most of us are no closer to the perfect life than we were when we started looking for it.

 We have surrounded ourselves with material things and knowledge, yet we still seek true happiness.

We have lost our way; it is time to reclaim our life, our health, our spirit and our soul from the man made Hell we have created by living through our Ego

 SAMANTHISM on HEALTH:

Death by knife and Food;

We have more health care, more medicine, more doctors, more specialists, more supplements, more therapists, more low fat, more low calorie, more low kilojoules and more health education than we have ever had says Samantha, yet we are the sickest, fattest and unhealthiest we have ever been – something is obviously wrong! Our food choices influence our long term health prospects more than any other choice. What you put into your body several times per day – everyday will have far more impact on your wellbeing than anything else you do.  Time to stop digging our graves with our teeth and take back control of our health and our families!

 ENOCH said, “We need to unit our physical and thinking body with the ocean of thought”.

Don’t you think it is time we stopped digging our own physical and spiritual graves and take back control of our body and our mind and fight back at the system that profits from our suffering and live free and happy once again in the Garden of Eden before Monsanto takes that too!.

Love and hugs to you all,

Rev., Dr., Samantha Rayn Bachman

“Samantha is disgracefully effective. Be prepared to be shocked, entertained, and outraged. ALSO be prepared to enjoy and learn from a human lioness that has been to the bottom of the pit and come up not only smelling of roses but distributing laughs while helping you to make massive positive changes in your life. She is totally uncompromising and an amazing performer. If you ever want fun and learning in the same breath, go to Samantha. Health Warning: You will be changed for the better – do you really want that?”

Testimonial by Fergus McClelland of Vocal Trademark, UK

After filming over 100 TV shows on people that have had, near death experiences and crossed over, Samantha recalled the story of one of her guest who has spent over 1000 hours on the other side. During the interview Samantha asked, “So there is a heaven, another side?” to which he replied, “Yes,” “It is within us, it’s just another dimension.” “After that interview, I knew I had to find ‘who I was meant to be and that was the beginning of my journey to, the other side and the teaching from there”.

As I listened to Samantha explaining to me how people create their identity and cover up who they truly are, and how she is able to tune in to, the other side and understand how all works, she mentioned how shows like ‘The Secret’ only give you 10% of the how too, “I give you the other 90%”, she explained.  “There is a formula that CREATION uses to create”; she calls it, ‘THE 1^st LAW’, the law of creation itself, the law that created the Law of Gravity.  I heard and felt her talking not to my mind, but to my Soul.  I realized I was hearing the Truth for the first time. “Your body is a receiver like a radio; it can be tuned to the same frequency of Creation itself.  In this state you become an open channel to all wisdom and knowing to create the life and happiness you seek”, said Samantha.

Sitting with Samantha had me literally experiencing and being washed over by: humbleness and humility. My heart opened in my chest and I could feel my own Soul flow in and through my physical body, heart and mind, filling me with love and the power of inspiration. Samantha’s presence has the influence on others of exactly what it is that she is teaching to thousands every year – to get into the Soul and live from the Law of CREATION and TRUTH. “Everything unfolds from there,” Samantha shared. Dr Gupta in India refers to Samantha as “SAMANTHISM, the return of love, common sense and truth to the world”. And it’s true. I have experienced this magic that Samantha shares over and over, and since interviewing her, I have been made aware of my own life when lived from my truth, the truth of love

Extract from interview by Emily Gower for her book; Transformation Leaders.

Samantha Rayn Bachman – The Soul Viewer. Interview for Transitional Leaders Book

SAMANTHA Rayn BACHMAN: The Soul Viewer.

Samantha Bachman is all about heart and soul; a truly radiant woman. “Life is about going from head to heart to Soul,” “Sometimes we feel that we have to justify why it is that we have changed, and there’s a part of us that doesn’t want to.” And that is how I began discovering the background of this extraordinary, ‘bloody brilliant’ woman, spiritual coach and transformational leader, Samantha Bachman. During the filming of one of Samantha’s TV shows she heard the story of Cory, one of her guests and how he had been in a car accident putting him in a coma where he had the experience of crossing over. This man basically lived in heaven for 2-5 hours at a time, spending over 3000 hours on the other side” Samantha asked Cory, “Is there a God?” to which Cory replied, “Yes,” “God is in us. Heaven is within us, it’s just in another dimension. People go in and out of it… just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.” Samantha then asked Cory if there were aliens. Cory said, “Yes, they are among us, in fact it was the sighting of them in times gone by that people thought were Gods”. Samantha also learned a huge message of her destiny through Cory: “Whatever the past is, it’s irrelevant. Destiny it seems is when what is occurring has already happened, and it’s meant to be,” explained Samantha, “When I took that leap of faith and followed where my destiny was taking me, I found me for the first time in my life, I also found real happiness, peace, harmony and a love of life. I knew it was my destiny to show other the way to total happiness and all the joys of life. The Discovery of Soul Purpose The next year of Samantha’s life took her on many inner journeys, taking her through the crucial experience of knowing her ego and writing on the subject. Samantha said, she knew that she had been chosen and chosen to deliver a certain message, how to connect once again. Samantha was able to see herself from her Soul’s perspective – “like Soul Viewing. I saw Samantha Bachman. It was so beautiful to see this beautiful child and the woman who had become of that child. I then saw a very painful side of me, and I cried when I saw the stupidity of my ego and what it had let become”. Underneath her busy life and media personality, Samantha knew who she truly was. When you live from the Soul, it doesn’t matter to have an identity. It matters that you love and understand yourself for who you are. That’s where peace is. I became very aware that I was now looking through different eyes and hearing with different ears, in fact I was viewing and hearing all from my Soul and not my ego”. As I listened to Samantha explaining to me how people create their identity to cover their pain, their lack and their unhappiness, however it also covers up who they truly are, I heard and felt her talking not to my mind, but to my Soul. I instantly related to what Samantha was saying: as an adult, we associate ourselves with our belongings, what kind of job we have, how much money we are earning, who our partner is, what we look like. “There are too many people who are consumed with their ego’s, their religious beliefs, their life beliefs, and they are not necessarily happy or fulfilled with their life,” Samantha summarised, “There is too much comparison going on in our world – ‘better’, ‘worse’, ‘good’, ‘bad’. The truth is that we are living inside our labels and that is not who we truly are. We think our labels are our destiny, and they everything but that.” “You realise what a bloody idiot you’ve been,” Samantha stated, “When you can view your own thoughts as an outsider – which, is where consciousness is – that’s where YOU are. Change comes from within, and by viewing yourself, you are able to change through seeing the insanity of your story,” concluded Samantha, “The ego is hungry and it’s causing your so much pain by its wanting more and more. When you get into your Soul, the beautiful thing is that there is no thought.” Today, Samantha is dedicated to sharing her inspired message and journey of Soul Viewing, whether she is speaking, presenting on TV, running workshops or writing. Founding A Bloody Brilliant Life “It doesn’t matter who you were… The story of your past is just what it is… …. You are not the identity your family has given you, the identity that you have given yourself, or the identity people give you so that it gives them something to go on in trying to understand you”, said Samantha. “It has brought humbleness and humiliation to me to know that I don’t really need to have an identity… I can see the love around me, there is no mind chatter in my mind, and it’s such a peaceful place… I don’t want someone to create who they think Samantha Bachman is.” Sitting with Samantha had me literally experiencing and being washed over by exactly the feelings she had described: humbleness and humility. My heart opened in my chest and I could feel my own Soul flow in and through my physical body, heart and mind, filling me with love and the power of inspiration. Samantha’s presence has the influence on others of exactly what it is that she is teaching to several thousand people every year – to get into the Soul and live from truth. “Everything unfolds from there,” Samantha shared. And it’s true. I have experienced this magic that Samantha shared with me that day over and over, and since interviewing her, I have been encouraged and made even more aware of my own life when lived from my truth, the truth of love. Samantha Bachman will teach you the Truth on how to take control of your life all by yourself.

UK fails to halt female genital mutilation

Subject:  UK fails to halt female genital mutilation

 Girls are still at risk this Christmas as ‘cutters’ are flown in from abroad to perform the illegal procedure here LIBA TAYLOR Women in Somalia being educated about the dangers of genital mutilation. Campaigners in the UK are angry that there have been no prosecutions of practitioners Hundreds of British schoolgirls are facing the terrifying prospect of female genital mutilation (FGM) over the Christmas holidays as experts warn the practice continues to flourish across the country. Parents typically take their daughters back to their country of origin for FGM during school holidays, but The Independent on Sunday has been told that “cutters” are being flown to the UK to carry out the mutilation at “parties” involving up to 20 girls to save money. The police face growing criticism for failing to prosecute a single person for carrying out FGM in 25 years; new legislation from 2003 which prohibits taking a girl overseas for FGM has also failed to secure a conviction. Experts say the lack of convictions, combined with the Government’s failure to invest enough money in education and prevention strategies, mean the practice continues to thrive. Knowledge of the health risks and of the legislation remains patchy among practising communities, while beliefs about the supposed benefits for girls remain firm, according to research by the Foundation for Women’s Health, Research and Development (Forward). As a result, specialist doctors and midwives are struggling to cope with increasing numbers of women suffering from long-term health problems, including complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Campaigners are urging ministers to take co-ordinated steps to work with communities here and overseas to change deep-seated cultural attitudes and stamp out this extreme form of violence against women. The author and life peer Ruth Rendell, who has campaigned against FGM for 10 years, said: “When I helped take the Bill through Parliament seven years ago, I was very hopeful that we’d get convictions and that would then act as a deterrent for other people. But that has never happened and my heart bleeds for these girls. This mutilation is forever; nothing can be done to restore the clitoris, and that is just very sad for them. I have repeatedly asked questions of ministers from all departments about why there has never been a prosecution and why we still do not have a register of cases. But while they are always very sympathetic, nothing ever seems to get done. Teachers must not be squeamish and must talk to their girls so we can try and prevent it from happening.” FGM is classified into four types, of varying severity; type 3 is the most mutilating and involves total removal of the clitoris, labia and a narrowing of the whole vagina. An estimated 70,000 women living in the UK have undergone FGM, and 20,000 girls remain at risk, according to Forward. The practice is common in 28 African countries, including Somalia, Sudan and Nigeria, as well as some Middle Eastern and Asian countries such as Malaysia and Yemen. It is generally considered to be an essential rite of passage to suppress sexual pleasure, preserve girls’ purity and cleanliness, and is necessary for marriage in many communities even now. It has no religious significance. The most common age for the procedure is between eight and 11 but it can be carried out just after birth or just before marriage. It carries the risk of death from bleeding or tetanus, and long-term problems include urinary incontinence, recurrent infections and chronic pain. Reversal procedures are necessary in order to avoid major problems for a woman and baby during childbirth. In the UK, some women have to travel hundreds of miles to one of 15 specialist clinics because services and training are so patchy. There are no specialist clinics at all in Scotland, or Wales, and student doctors, midwives and social workers are not routinely taught to recognise or deal with FGM. A DVD, paid for by Baroness Rendell, which shows health workers how to reverse FGM will be launched in January. She hopes the next generation of health professionals will be better equipped to help affected women, many of whom suffer from long-term psychological effects such as flashbacks, anxiety and nightmares. Amina, 55, originally from Somalia, underwent type 3 FGM, with no anaesthetic, when she was 11. One of the lucky ones, she suffered no long-term physical health problems but still carries psychological scars. She has been vilified by practising communities for campaigning against FGM and for refusing to allow four of her daughters to be mutilated; the fifth suffered the procedure while in the care of her grandmother. The government funding that allowed Amina to work with families in Yorkshire, going door to door, to schools and community centres, talking about legal and health risks, ran out in March. The Somali model Waris Dirie was mutilated at the age of five. She set up the Waris Dirie Foundation in 2002 to help eradicate FGM. She said: “I am worried about the situation in Europe and the US, as FGM seems to be on the rise in these places. In the 21st century, a crime this cruel should not be accepted in a society as developed as England. No one can undo the trauma that is caused by this horrible crime; it stays in your head for ever. So what we should focus on is that there won’t be another victim.” Jackie Mathers, a nurse from the Bristol Safeguarding Children Board, said: “These families do not do this out of spite or hatred; they believe this will give their daughters the best opportunities in life. We would like a conviction, not against the parents, but against a cutter, someone who makes a living from this. We have anecdotal information that the credit crunch means people can’t go home, so they’re getting cutters over for ‘FGM parties’. It is hard for people to speak out because they are from communities that are already vilified as asylum seekers, so to stand up against their communities is to risk being ostracised. But we have to empower girls and women to address this, along with teachers, school nurses and social workers. We can’t ignore it; it is mutilation.” A Home Office spokesman said: “We have appointed an FGM co-ordinator to drive forward a co-ordinated government response to this appalling crime and make recommendations for future work.”

Female Genital Mutilation still going on and Australia is not doing enough!

Mutilation fears for Kenyan girl By Max Blenkin From: AAP September 19, 2009 2:10PM Increase Text Size Decrease Text Size Print Email Share Add to Digg Add to del.icio.us Add to Facebook Add to Kwoff Add to Myspace Add to Newsvine What are these? THE Opposition has urged Immigration Minister Chris Evans to grant immediate protection to an African girl who fears she will be forced to undergo genital mutilation if deported to her homeland. Opposition immigration spokeswoman Sharman Stone said the minister had wideranging discretionary powers to allow Australia’s protection in such cases. Dr Stone said millions of young girls, mostly in Africa, were subjected to genital mutilation each year, suffering enormous harm. “If this is the case, she is in genuine danger. She should be given protection and the minister should use his discretion immediately,” she said. “If he isn’t choosing to use his discretion, he needs to give us a very transparent account of what the problems and issues are so the advocate for this young woman can understand what other option they’ve got.” The case relates to Teresia Ndikaru Muturi, 21, who came to Australia from Kenya to attend Catholic World Youth Day last year.

Ms Muturi wants to stay in Australia on the grounds that her mother, an adherent to the banned Mungiki sect, would force her to undergo genital mutilation and marriage to a much older man if she returned to Kenya. “They believe that if you are circumcised, you would be the full woman. You can get married,” she told ABC Radio. However her application to the Refugee Review Tribunal was rejected. Franciscan nun Sister Aileen Crowe has now taken up her case, applying unsuccessfully to Senator Evans to intervene. Senator Evans is now considering fresh information in a second application. Sister Crowe said Australian law up until now did not recognise cases such as that of Ms Muturi. “The only way they can be recognised is if they go to the minister,” she said. “It is just a lottery. People’s lives are at stake in this lottery.” That’s set to change under legislation soon to be considered in parliament that offers what’s termed “complementary protection” in cases where applicants for protection visas fear they face honour killing or genital mutilation. A spokesman for Senator Evans said all cases involving asylum seekers were thoroughly assessed on their merits. “People are not removed from Australia until their cases have been assessed and a decision has been made,” he said. However Dr Stone said the opposition objected to any changes that handed ministerial discretion back to departmental officials. “There are cases like this young woman that are complex, involving cultural practices from other countries which don’t fit into the refugee conventions,” she said. “It should not be simply subject to departmental officials.”

Save The Pussy

If you treat the pussy as a pet,   let me tell you – it will always be wet.         If you gently lay it in the hay,  I guarantee – it will want to play.      Love it and touch it right,   and that pussy – could be yours tonight.           The pussy will make you moan and groan,   treat it well and it will never roam.          But fill it with stitches ,   just so some-one will hitch-us.       Then please explain, why you cause us such pain,   we would be more than happy – to just abstain.        Pleasure can ultimately be enjoyed by all,   for the right man – we are in for the long hall.        Mutilation of a nation will bring no gain,    for what – just so the male population can reign.            For those that have endured mutilation,   I have nothing but absolute admiration.         However if you keep up with circumcision,   you are only causing a huge division.            You know we all came from the womb,   and in this world – there is plenty of room.            Black or white – none of us really want to fight,   and as people – we all have the same right.           So deep in our gut –  we all know – it’s really not right to cut ………………………….The Vagina Doctor  –  Samantha Bachman
