The ABA Goes Over to the Dark Side
The domestic violence industry is one of the most corrupt and unaccountable enterprises in modern-day America. Every year it sucks over $1 billion from the federal treasury and ships the money to a variety of radical feminist organizations dedicated to revamping the family unit.
Thanks to the generosity of the Violence Against Women Act, domestic violence programs encourage women to file false allegations, strip fit fathers of their natural right to parent, and doom kids to live in a single-parent household — with VAWA picking up the legal tab.
Of course many men decide to fight the wrongful accusations to restore their good name and protect their children — and end up paying their lawyers a princely sum in the process.
A few years ago the American Bar Association decided it was time to cash in on this grand social experiment, so it set up the ABA Commission on Domestic Violence.
Before long the CODV was setting out to revamp American family law to comport with its global feminist-socialist vision. For example this week the Commission’s website features this startling claim: “International human rights legal principles may be used persuasively in domestic violence cases in U.S. state courts.†[www.abanet.org/domviol/home.html]
That statement gives you an idea of how far the ABA has moved away from its well-cultivated image of black-cloaked probity and stern-faced reason.
The Commission then decided to develop a series of publications to elucidate on its family-reform agenda. One of these reports, “Ten Myths about Custody and Domestic Violence,†purports to tell the truth about 10 common falsehoods. [www.abanet.org/domviol/custody_myths.pdf]
But then a group called RADAR – Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting — got wind of the ABA report and decided to do a little fact-checking. That’s when the ABA’s glass-house began to disintegrate into a million tiny pieces.
First, RADAR found most of the so-called myths aren’t really myths. Turns out they are strawmen erected by the ABA Commission to provide the framework for a series of claims that are ostensibly backed up scientific research.
And when RADAR examined the actual research, these “studies†were found to be little more than a series of opinion pieces put out by other groups with the same ideological axe to grind as the ABA. Or the studies were advocacy research disguised as objective science.
All told, of the 19 claims found in the “Ten Myths†report, only 2 of them are truthful. All the rest are misleading, unsupported, or simply false. [www.mediaradar.org/docs/RADARreport-Myths-of-ABA-Commission-on-DV-Summary.pdf]
It’s bad enough for the ABA to traffic in a series of pusillanimous lies. But to then claim your lies are actually debunking someone else’s lies – that’s a propaganda technique of the highest order.
This ruse would have put to shame Mr. Joseph Goebbels, the National Socialist minister of truth who famously proclaimed, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.â€
Now the story gets interesting.
In May RADAR sent a letter to the ABA president, William Neukom, politely pointing out the errors and asking the ABA to remove the offending report. RADAR requested the courtesy of a reply.
But no answer was forthcoming.
That means the problem is not some rogue outfit within the ABA that suddenly began to spout neo-Marxist slogans. The fact is, the president of the American Bar Association is a knowing accomplice to this massacre of the truth.
Frankly, I’m disturbed by this willful violation of the public trust. Normally I don’t ask my readers to take action. But in the name of protecting the truth, I’m going to make an exception.
After all, the American Bar Association is expected to be more than a well-heeled special interest group, and the truth is not a commodity to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
So please email Mr. Neukom at abapresident@abanet.org . Or if you want to give the ABA an earful, call their Media Relations department at 1-312-988-6171.
You can make the message short and sweet. Tell Mr. Neukom to stop the lies.

Carey Roberts,
Thanks for reiterating that the American Bara Association has gone to the Dark Side. It has been there for many years as have the US Department of Justice and Attorney Generals for 50 states.
Feminist infiltration and manipulation, including sc “urban legends” have been used to validate their positons. For example sc “rule of thumb” began to be accepted as the measure by which husban could punish his wife. It’s origin has been reported otherwisew

The foundation of feminism and the source of their control of Western Civilization is the practice of women being primary caregivers of the children.
It is critical to reverse that by having fathers step into the primary caregiver role and that is accomplished by telecommuting, virtual collaboration, and other work-from-home careers.

The Chinese government in divorce court automatically gives the father custody of children and property. The divorce rate is about 20%.
China has over one billon people, and is one of the longest existing civilizations in the world of about 5,000.
Feminist ideology in government, academics, and media is non-existent in China.

The Bar Association is there to self-regulate an Industry group. That industry is not the ‘legal’ industry but the Lawyer’s Industry. It is Big Business, where the lawyers’ main role is to make an income from Law suits, be they private or Public, brought by individuals, corporate entities, States or Federal Institutions.
A substantial proportion of civil actions are dealt with in the Family Court, a secret court where all semblence of Truth is excised and assets stripped and shared by the lawyers. Truth, evidence, proof etc have all been excised from consideration by introduced ‘variances’ to Judicial Principle. False allegation is expected and accepted. It is encouraged. Perjury has been suspended.
The Domestic Violence Industry works hand in hand providing monies for Judges ‘training’ and for a host of ancilliary players to assist the lawyers strip asset. It also feeds potential clients to the lawyers and provides client ‘training’. It will even provide client accomodation.
Regulation is geared toward all lawyers toeing a Party line that benefits the majority of Lawyers. The ‘guidance’ and training regimes are not there to establish rules and conduct for Truth-finding and Justive awarding but for money-making and successful asset-stripping and sharing out. It is hardly surprising that Truth is not used and Lies substituted where there is a business benefit to be gained.
It is also clear that the ABA setting up a Commission on Domestic Violence enhances the connection with the DV industry. A question arises as to what is the aim of the Commission.
Recall when the New York Mafia developed a ‘connection’ with the Sicilian Mafia, they too set up a ‘Commission’ to oversee the profit machinery. The Sicilains were into Drugs wheras at that time the American’s were not. That changed into a ‘Vertically Integrated’ operation by virtue of the ‘Commission’.
The ABA is a Lawyer’s Mafia. It’s ‘Commission’ is there to expand business opportunity and develop new markets.
The conduct of Family Law, with its attendant explosion of domestic violence accusation, predominantly false and tactical, has deteriorated every year for the past twenty years. It’s ‘business’ has grown likewise to its present position of being more than half of ALL civil litigation. It is in such a state of corruption that only a concerted effort to root out the corrupt and the thieves and the liars will save all Law.
Hard and swift and uncompromising action by dedicated men prepared to fight with all resources and weapons available will be needed, just as with the Mafia.
No quarter must be given. They must be rooted out and ‘rendered safe’.
Fortunately Lawyers are more easily identified than Mafia henchmen. They hang shingles outside their doors.
