Another reason to turn off the TV...

Nickelodeon-the Brainwashing Network
            by Officer Curt Bolding - Posted: 06.19.00
 

Curt Bolding is a 16-year police veteran with experience spanning
four jurisdictions in Illinois. Still active in his chosen profession,
he currently serves as both a street officer and as a police control
and arrest tactics instructor.

On Father's Day this year, June 18, 2000, I was enjoying a quiet
morning with the kids, who were watching their favorite channel
for cartoons, Nickelodeon. While I was lazing with a cup of coffee,
thinking about things like picnics and puttering in the yard,
something on TV caught my attention. During their usual
commercial programming, Nickelodeon was attempting another
kind of programming-aimed at my kids' minds.

Several kids, ages about seven to nine, were pictured on the screen.
All were holding cardboard signs, with either a red star or a blue
star.  Then the announcer spoke up, and said, "Do you think adults
should have guns in a house if a kid lives there? Seven out of ten
kids said no.  "Seven smiling kids were holding signs with red stars,
three holding blue stars. I caught the next question, after doing the
obligatory Danny Thomas style spit take. "Should adults own guns
at all? Eight out of ten kids said no." Eight red stars. "Should guns
be sold with safety locks on them? Seven kids said yes." You get
the idea. To be fair, I may not have the numbers exactly right as far
as how many kids said what.  It was about a two-thirds majority in
favor of the gun control agenda.  If there was another question
asked, I missed it because by this point I was too busy gnawing
on my ankle.

In my apoplexy, I have crafted this article on my Father's Day,
before going out and doing my duty for America by sending my
share of the fifty million rounds downrange. I must apologize to my
regular readers who are more used to information-based articles from
the standpoint of the professional police officer. Yet it is also my
duty to point out to citizens the lower, more base, elements of society
wherever they rear up.

The anti-civil-rights movement has clearly been channeling money
to Nickelodeon to get that network to promote their political ideas.
Now, wouldn't you think that a network that provides kids'
programming would have some sense of responsibility as far as
what kind of stuff they filled kids' heads with? When the hell
did pushing political issues on children become the right thing
to do? I must have missed Nickelodeon's ads pertaining to abortion,
Kosovo, and the security lapses at Los Alamos. What's next? Elian
Gonzalez hosting a green slime game show?

This is by far the lowest level that the anti-civil-rights movement
has sunk to yet. If they're willing to brainwash all our children,
they'll stop at nothing. The Less-Than-A-Million Moms have
proven that they're not interested in discussion. The conversations
that go on in their relatively few Internet message boards show that
without exception they run and hide when presented with the facts.

to gun control, or more accurately, their money, needs to get the same
message that Smith & Wesson's been getting.

To paraphrase Walter Cronkite, the very idea that they're trying to
implant thoughts in your children's minds ought to scare you to death.

Your Immediate Action Needed! The future of private property will be decided on June 27 and 28 when S. 25, The Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA), comes before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee for mark-up. In an obvious effort to divide and confuse you, Senators are busy introducing "sleeper" CARA bills. All of these bills will then be combined into one-probably under a different number (got the strategy?) and then rushed to the Senate floor for a vote. This is a typical tactic of Congress when our elected officials are determined to pass an unpopular bill. Do not, repeat, DO NOT let them get away with it! Two of the "sleeper" CARA bills that we know of are S. 2123 and S. 2181. Both are slightly altered versions of the original S.25, but the impact is the same in every respect. You should be outraged that these sort of devious tactics would be used to force a bill on the American citizens that is not only unwanted, but also could be used to coerce you off of your private property! If passed, CARA will result in a massive, permanent $3 billion per year trust fund for the Federal government to invade rural America, shut down farms, close ranches and seal off billions of acres of private and public property from human use. This is easily the most destructive piece of legislation to come down the pike in years as CARA will result in the BIGGEST Federal land-grabbing spree ever! Send Sen. Murkowski and the Senate Energy Committee a strong message: "NO on CARA!" Do it today! ACTION TO TAKE 1. Listed below are the members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. If your Senator is on this list, you MUST call and tell him to oppose S. 25, S. 2123, and S. 2181. Call early and often! Every environmental extremist organization is using their massive war chest to push CARA through. Your repeated calls are vital! 2. IMPORTANT: Even if your Senators are not on the list below, call them anyway.

John Hostettler (R-IN) is still in the "on deck circle" waiting to offer his pro-gun amendment to the Justice Department funding bill (H.R. 4690). Rep. Hostettler had planned to offer the amendment on Friday, but debate over the appropriations bill has tarried quite long and pushed several proposed amendments into next week. Hostettler's provision will stop the Justice Department from being able to enforce the recent Smith & Wesson agreement. If this amendment passes, the government will be prohibited from taking S&W -- or any other company -- to court for failing to abide by the terms of that agreement. This amendment will especially encourage those businesses that manufacture guns to refrain from joining Smith & Wesson. Several manufacturers are refusing to do so, and this protection will strengthen their resolve. Moreover, the amendment will prevent the Clinton administration from using extortion (via the threat of a lawsuit) to coerce gun makers into joining the gun control agreement. ACTION: 1. Please call or fax or email your Representative and ask him to support the Hostettler amendment that will be offered to the Commerce-Justice-State bill (H.R. 4690). Use the GOA Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to identify and contact your Rep. You can also call the House of Representatives at 202-225-3121, or toll-free at 1-888-449-3511. 2. Forward this alert to as many gun owners as possible and ask them to contact their Congressman this weekend or on Monday. The vote on the Hostettler amendment will be held late Monday after 6:00 P.M. Thus, there is still plenty of time to contact legislators. ------URGENT Pre-written message ------ Dear Representative: I support the amendment that Rep. John Hostettler is expected to offer to the Commerce-Justice-State appropriations bill (H.R. 4690). This important amendment will stop the Justice Department from in any way enforcing the gun control "legislation" that was foisted upon the country in the Smith & Wesson agreement back in March. The Smith & Wesson agreement is legislation through litigation, and it would regulate and restrict ALL firearms sold by dealers that carry Smith and Wesson products. This horrible agreement is not limited to just S&W. It will also restrict the sales of firearms made by Glock, Remington, H&K, etc. Almost as dangerous is the fact that the gun control in the S&W agreement was unilaterally imposed by the President's administration upon the people of this nation. Gun Owners of America supports the Hostettler language; and I hope that you will also support this amendment to the CJS funding bill. Please let me know what you intend to do.

READ THIS Ladies and Gentlemen: We believe it will be worth your time to read all of this message. THE COMPLAINT For decades gun owners complained that we were losing the Second Amendment war because our point of view and our arguments were never heard in the newspapers, on the radio, or on television. They complained that gun owners and gun rights organizations always "preached to the choir", and that their message never got out to the public. THE RESPONSE -- FINALLY But now our message IS getting out to the public. AGGRESSIVELY. You've probably heard of us by now: Citizens Of America, a non-profit organization that is running a NATIONAL PRO-GUN media campaign. That's ALL COA does: no lobbying, no PAC funds, nothing but producing these ads and getting them out to the GENERAL PUBLIC. And until now, you never heard ANYTHING like our hard- hitting, emotion-directed radio and print ads in the mass communications media. If you want to HEAR the radio ads, continue reading and then come back and click here: http://www.citizensofamerica.org/radio.htm If you want to SEE the print ads, click here: http://www.citizensofamerica.org/print.htm NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD COA is only nine months old, but already the radio ads have run in 42 states on over 270 radio stations. At any given moment, thanks to people like you and patriots in the broadcast industry, they are running RIGHT NOW somewhere in the country, on the radio and on cable television. Thanks to patriots in the publishing industry, the print ads have been distributed in the tens of thousands. COA is funded by people like YOU. COA has no income- producing fund to draw on, no memberships that we constantly renew, no wealthy private or corporate backers (yet), no $100-million plus NRA-size budget (yet). COA will exist only as long as citizens like you donate to the campaign. We hope to win this war and put ourselves out of business as soon as possible. But in any case, we will not exist one day longer than we can pay to exist, and right now we need funds to continue. LET COA FIGHT FOR YOU Remember: only COA focuses on getting the gun rights message to the GENERAL PUBLIC. And our messages aim at their guts and hearts. You can help us. For the next year, devote 33 cents a day to continue this one-of-a-kind national campaign. That's ten dollars a month. $120 for the year. If you think we've doing a good job, then give us 33 cents a day next year. If you've already donated something this year, please consider bringing the total up to $120. WE ACT NOW OR SUFFER LATER Does $120 a year seem like a lot? Three or four years from now, when the news media, the federal government and state governments have inundated the public with enough unanswered lies to turn them against you, enough unanswered propaganda to convince them to vote for more bans on guns and the freedom to own and shoot guns, you'll wish you had spent twenty times that amount. If you simply cannot afford $120, then donate what you can. (We do offer incentives: like a free Kydex holster from Springbok, Inc. if you donate at least $75. Come back and read this when you finish the rest of this message: http://www.citizensofamerica.org/programs.htm ) WE USED TO HATE... ...to ask for money. It's not enjoyable. But that changed when we saw how much irritation these ads are causing our enemies. And when we get emails and letters from people who USED to be anti-gun, but changed their minds when they became aware of the issues that COA ads bring up. Now we ask for money because we absolutely believe we can make a difference. OUR CURRENT SITUATION Over the last nine months we've SPENT your past donations- - -as efficiently as possible keeping this ad campaign going. We work out of donated office space, have a minimal staff, and use volunteers or subcontractors for everything else. These ultra-efficient methods have worked so far, and we intend to continue this way. But because our donor base is still in its infancy, with many gun owners and gun-related businesses still unaware of what we're doing, and because this is a CONTINUING campaign, we're nearly out of funds and are in danger of having to cease operations. So if you want to help, NOW is the time. Please -- DO NOT count on someone else to donate for you. You can donate with a credit card by scrolling to the bottom of our homepage at: http://www.citizensofamerica.org Or send a check to Citizens Of America, 2118 Wilshire Blvd. #447, Santa Monica, CA 90403. STILL UNDECIDED? No, COA isn't the ONLY answer to winning this war. GOA, JPFO, KeepAndBearArms.com, 2AnewsTeam and others are performing valuable functions. But COA alone devotes all its resources on an essential but almost totally neglected task: spreading the pro-gun message to the GENERAL PUBLIC, not just to gun owners, gun rights organization members, or those who purposely seek out such information.

June 24, 2000 -- 9:02 am Homosexuality Law Scrapped In Scotland LONDON, England (CNSNews) -- Scotland has become the first part of the United Kingdom to scrap a controversial law banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools - but opponents of the repeal also scored a moral victory by getting the importance of marriage enshrined in new guidelines for sex education teachers. Faced by a growing public campaign in favor of keeping the law, known as section 28, ministers in the devolved Scottish Executive reversed course this week, agreeing to a crucial change in the wording for the legally-binding teaching guidelines. Lawmakers then passed the repeal bill by a 99-17 vote. The text of the compulsory guidelines will now say teachers of sex education should emphasize " ... the importance of stable family life and relationships" - and then adds the crucial phrase "... including the responsibilities of parenthood and marriage." Previously the Labor-led Executive maintained there was no need for legally-enforceable guidelines ensuring that teachers highlight marriage in their classes. Supporters of section 28, aware that its repeal was ultimately inevitable, fought for the amendment, which they said may help reassure parents who were concerned that the abolition of the law would result in homosexuality being actively promoted in schools. The Roman Catholic Church and Brian Souter, a Christian transport millionaire who spearheaded a "Keep the Clause" campaign, welcomed the inclusion of marriage in the guidance. Souter last month financed Britain's first ever privately-funded referendum on the matter, in which 87 percent of Scottish voters who responded voted to keep section 28. On Wednesday he announced he was closing down the campaign. Souter's "Keep the Clause" drive was supported by Cardinal Thomas Winning, leader of Scotland's 750,000 Roman Catholics, who warned earlier: "If we are not very, very careful, we will inadvertently promote a lifestyle for our children which will reduce their life expectancy, increase their chances of HIV infection and expose them to predatory and abusive relationships." The eight-month long dispute over section 28 dominated the first year of the devolved Scottish Executive's existence. Section 28 was introduced by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in 1980s, partly as a reaction to the actions of left-wing local government councils which promoted "politically correct" programs. It said local authorities "shall not promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship." It opponents, headed by the homosexuality advocacy lobby, said it was discriminatory and had no place in a modern, tolerant society. Some teacher groups said it provided an environment in which homophobic bully could occur. Its supporters said the law's repeal would open the doors for highly graphic and offensive material already being prepared for use in some schools. The British government has still not managed to scrap section 28 in England and Wales, its attempts to do so having been repeatedly stymied by the Conservative-dominated upper House of Lords. http://www.mcjonline.com/news/00/20000623e.htm No more same-sex 'marriages'..... http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000525/ts/pope_gays_1.html No more homosexual sex education...... http://www.massnews.com/maygsa.htm Kids Get Graphic Instruction In Homosexual Sex Bard Pro Libertate - For Freedom BUCHANAN-Reform http://gopatgo2000.com/default.htm www.ctrl.org [------------------------- end of forwarded message ------------------------] - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RKBA! ***** Blessings On Thee, Oh Israel! ***** RKBA! - ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- An _EFFECTIVE_ | Insured | All matter is vibration. | Let he who hath no weapon in every | by COLT; | -- Max Plank | weapon sell his hand = Freedom | DIAL | In the beginning was the | garment and buy a on every side! | 1911-A1. | word. -- The Bible | sword.--Jesus Christ - ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- Constitutional Government is dead, LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jun 00 14:58:37 PST From: roc@xpresso.seaslug.org (Bill Vance) Subject: Action taken against President Clinton (fwd) On Jun 22, Swftl@aol.com wrote: [-------------------- text of forwarded message follows --------------------] Reply-To: info@southeasternlegal.org From: "Southeastern Legal Foundation" Subject: Action taken against President Clinton Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 15:21:49 -0400 Dear Susan Wells, At the end of my email, I've attached a link that will take you to a copy of a letter from James A. Neal to Leslie Steen. You are probably wondering who these gentlemen are and why I would want you to see a copy of this letter. Well, I believe you will be as interested in seeing this letter as I was when I received my copy of it. You see, this letter is from the director of the Arkansas Supreme Court Ethics Committee to the Clerk of the Arkansas Supreme Court. The letter advises the Clerk that the Ethics Committee is initiating disbarment proceedings against Arkansas lawyer, William Jefferson Clinton. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, I'd like to thank you for supporting SLF on this important legal milestone. You have helped to prove that the legal system works - regardless of the position of the attorney in question. But you must also remember that when the attorney is Bill Clinton, the system required more than a little extra prodding. Quite frankly, not many people gave SLF much of a chance when we filed the Disbarment Petition in September of 1998. I can't say that I blame them as Bill Clinton had slipped out of every major problem he encountered. Just name a scandal and he's emerged practically unscathed: · Monica Lewinsky. · Whitewater land deals. · Campaign finance violations. · Travelgate. · Illegal gathering of FBI files. · Numerous alleged sexual escapades. When SLF filed the disbarment petition, Bill Clinton's popularity was riding high and it did not look as though the Arkansas Ethics Committee would fulfill their legal obligations to hear the case. In fact, the Committee did nothing for 18 months. The committee members seemed to be in no hurry to do anything that would be politically embarrassing to their former Governor and political ally. That's when the Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a Writ of Mandamus in the Arkansas Supreme Court to make its own Ethics Committee take up consideration of the SLF Disbarment Petition. The Disbarment Petition would still be languishing in some state bureaucrat's in-box if Southeastern Legal Foundation had not filed the Writ of Mandamus with the court. Once the Arkansas Supreme Court was presented with the Writ of Mandamus, it ruled unanimously to force the Ethics Committee to begin consideration of SLF's complaint. When President Clinton filed his response to our Disbarment Petition, it turned out to be 85 pages of the kind of answers we have come to expect from Bill Clinton. He blamed everyone else for his problems, maintained his political enemies were out to get him and tried to give new meanings and definitions to everyday words. He never admitted to lying to a grand jury or lying in a sworn deposition with a Federal Judge sitting directly across the table from him. He still insists that he did nothing wrong. He maintains that this is only about sex, that standards should not be as high for him and his record as President will show that he has done more good than harm. But the SLF Disbarment Petition is about showing that Bill Clinton has to maintain the same standards of honesty as any other attorney in the United States. As I try to tell listeners and viewers on every radio and TV talk show I appear on, "Honesty is not an aspirational goal for lawyers." Honesty is required from attorneys or our system of justice will collapse. Fortunately, the Arkansas Ethics Committee put aside their local prejudices and recommended that the Arkansas Supreme Court begin the disbarment proceedings against Bill Clinton. But the battle over Bill Clinton's law license does not end here. He will have to go before an Arkansas District Judge for a final hearing. If the judge does as expected and strips him of his right to practice law, he can appeal the decision to the Arkansas Supreme Court. You can count on the Southeastern Legal Foundation to be relentless in the pursuit of justice as the disbarment of Bill Clinton proceeds to its conclusion. And you can bet that Bill Clinton will continue to try to use every avenue available to him to try and keep his law license. That's why I'm hoping you can help SLF pay off the unpaid legal bills from our disbarment fight. Presently, there are more than $45,000 in outstanding bills that are now overdue. Do you think you could give $25, $35, $50, $100 or even $250 or $500 to Southeastern Legal Foundation? Whatever amount you contribute will go a long way to help pay the bills in the fight to disbar Bill Clinton. This fight has been a drain on our financial reserves but I will know the result will justify the expense. But right now we need immediate assistance and I am counting on you to help with a contribution. Truthfully, I don't know where else to turn for help. Southeastern Legal Foundation will need many gifts of $25, $35, $50, $100 or more to pay these legal bills. Will you send a contribution today? Please send $50, or at least $25, or whatever you can give to the Southeastern Legal Foundation. And again, thank you for helping SLF with this important and necessary court action. Sincerely yours, Matthew J. Glavin President Southeastern Legal Foundation P.S. The attached link will take you to the letter from the Arkansas Supreme Court advising that the disbarment proceeding against President Bill Clinton should move forward. Thanks again for your support on this issue. ========================================================= READ THE LETTER OR CONTRIBUTE TO HELP DISBAR CLINTON - ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.southeasternlegal.org/disbar_clinton.htm AOL USERS: CLICK HERE ====================================================== [------------------------- end of forwarded message ------------------------] - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RKBA! ***** Blessings On Thee, Oh Israel! ***** RKBA! - ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- An _EFFECTIVE_ | Insured | All matter is vibration. | Let he who hath no weapon in every | by COLT; | -- Max Plank | weapon sell his hand = Freedom | DIAL | In the beginning was the | garment and buy a on every side! | 1911-A1. | word. -- The Bible | sword.--Jesus Christ - ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- Constitutional Government is dead, LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - ------------------------------ End of roc-digest V2 #358 *************************
