AT&T FAIL!
Thanks to the AT&T epic email migration FAIL, I may be gone for a day or, too. Talk about corporate screw ups. At least if they were drinking they’d have an excuse.
STALKED BY ADOPTION
Yesterday, I was minding my own business on the flight from Chicago to Sacramento. I’m engrossed in my book, Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlin & the Great Depression. (Trust me. I escape from AdoptionLand’s dysfunctional family circus as often as I can. Besides, I’m using the book as a lesson plan in how to become a demogoue). So, I m reading and ever so gently the conversation from the row in front of me wafts back. I’m not evesdropping. But… “Adoption” No, that can’t be! I hope they are talking about adoption of the new school curriculum, or doggie adoption. Anything but the dreaded A word. Again: ” adoption” Then “relinquishment” More “adoption.” Then the baleful “birthmother.” More “adoption.” When we get off the plane I take a closer at the three women in front of me They seem vaguely familiar. I think they’re from CUB, and they are obviously in Sacramento or the AAC. No matter where I am, what I’m doing it, I am stalked. By adoption. Make it stop!
HACKED
Like many others today, my Twitter account was hacked. I have now fixed it. To ready more about this attack go here Do not open any suspicious tweets from me–or anyone else!
SOUTH DAKOTA HB 1223: UP FOR RECONSIDERATION TODAY
NEVER MIND: I no sooner got this up than we learned that the bill is DEAD. RIP HB 1223, SB 152 and South Dakota’s civil rightless bastards. South Dakota HB 1223 was defeated Friday and is supposedly being reconsidered today. Please go to below to the original action alerts and send a message of support for a clean bill and reconsideration. It’s been very confusing. The bill’s sponsor who claimed to want a clean bill, voted YAY for the corrupted amended version and the sponsor of the corrupted version voted NAY against his own amendment! Please contact the House and asked members to (1) strike the amendment on the floor (2) if the amendment is not struck on the floor, urge members to vote NO. Contact information: http://legis.state.sd.us/email/LegislatorEmail.aspx?MemberID=30s Here is my letter: I understand that HB 1223 is scheduled for reconsideration today. This bill started as a clean bill to restore the right of all South Dakota adoptees to access, with no restrictions, their own pre-adoption (originial) birth certificate upon request. The bill was amended with adisclosure veto (under a false title of “birthparent contact preference,”) that creates a special right for birthparents to ban access–a special right that no Continue Reading →
JORGE TORRES PUELLO SPEAKS – INTRODUCTION & 1
This evening I received a series of posts to The Daily Bastardette from “Yoram” purporting to be Jorge Torres Puello. I have verified that the posts came from OneMax, an ISP in the Dominican Republic, which one of our commenters determined earlier was connected to Torres Puello. My Site Meter also indicates the posts came from DR and the time matches perfectly with the posting times. Since these posts were intended to be comments, I will post them as comments, but am also posting them here in separate blogs–one for each post. I am releasing them in the order they were sent (1-7 top to bottom.) These “comments” will also be posted on my other site End Child Exportation and Trafficking of Children in Haiti. What I find so..well, interesting about these posts is that 95% (or more) pertain to the writer proving his Jewish, not his innocence of the crimes for which he is accused. I will comment on these later, but I wanted to get them up now.Below is post #1. Message 1: February 18, 2010 4:55:09PM Yoram has left a new comment on your post “WHO IS JORGE PUELLO, PT 2: JUMPING DOWN THE RABBIT…“: I am Continue Reading →
MY LETTER TO SOUTH DAKOTA: HB 1223
NOTE: You still have time to get your emails in! The floor vote was postponed until tomorrow afternoon.Go to the action alert below for contact information. It’s not too late to change South Dakota history! The original HB 1223 was a clean bill that would permit all South Dakota adopted adults, without restriction, to obtain their original birth certificates (obc) upon request. I would very much like to support HB 1223, but. unfortunately, a so-called “contact preference” amendment was added to the bill which not only corrupts and misnames what a genuine “contact preference” is, but guts the intent of the bill with what is in fact a “disclosure veto” that keeps specific obcs sealed. A “contact preference” was introduced legislatively in Oregon after the 1999 passage of Ballot Measure 58 that restored adoptee rights in that state. Its purpose is to give a mechanism through the “contact preference form” for birthparents to communicate with the adoptee in a confidential manner, whether they were interested in contact and submit other personal information about themselves. Submission of the form is voluntary. The form is put into the adoptee’s state file and sent with the obc when and if the adoptee requests Continue Reading →
HAITIANS RELEASE INTERROGATION TAPE: CHILDREN CRY FOR THEIR MOTHERS
I’m working on another piece and won’t comment on this right now. The video, released by Haitian authorities, shows them interrogating Silsby & Co. Many of the children are crying for their mothers and want to go home, while Laura Silsby tries to explain her “good intentions” Silsby, unlike, the public persona she has carefully crafted, is shaken. The article accompanying the video is here. Watch CBS News Videos Online The page also features a February 5 CBS video of a “sincere” Silsby proclaiming the group meant no disrespect to the Haitian government and had done “nothing wrong.” You may have already seen it, but it’s worth archiving. Watch CBS News Videos Online On a sidenote, The Idaho Statesman this morning published more on Laura Silsby’s financial your-check-is-in-the-mail woes. (Yes, there are more than what we already heard about!) Laura Silsby’s business couldn’t pay rent, taxes. BTW, the company’s Better Business Bureau accreditation “expired” on February 4, 2010. No doubt! And, how have I forgetten this? Personalshoppper.com was promising matching funds up to $50,000 for various children’s and school projects. I can’t get the URL to work as a direct link, but you can cut and paste this: http://www.personalshopper.com/jsp/kcl/what_others_are_saying.jsp
SMALL UPDATE IN HAITI: "CHRISTIAN" CHILD LIFTERS IN HAITI "DIDN’T UNDERSTAND" BLAH BLAH BLAH
It’s only mid-afternoon, but it’s become clear I won’t finish my follow-up on the New Life 10 today, though I’m working on it. There is so much material to wade through. In the meantime, I recommend that you read Mike Doughney’s latest blog, Personal Shopper.com CEO Arrested While Returning from Free Child Shopping Trip to Port au Prince. Also read his previous blog below it. This is very important stuff. I have linked them both under “Featured Blogs” on the right sidebar. Here is an excerpt: Looked at from the point of view of an entrepreneur, what are these things? First, establish a warehouse for the merchandise, and processing facilities to make the merchandise suitable for the customer. Second, expedite the process of governmental approval which customers must obtain, making them as comfortable as possible while they fulfill the government’s mandate of a 60-90 day stay. Third, provide financing for the customers. Fourth, provide food and refreshment to the customers, which along with the lodging provides a “bubble” in which customers need not interact with the locals. But as a business plan, there’s nothing to it, if the people putting it forward can’t seem to grasp the basic illegality of Continue Reading →
GOD BRINGS ANOTHER HAITIAN ADOPTEE TO OHIO
(NOTE: My other Haiti entries are directly below this. I am placing them on a separate page, which I hope will be ready tomorrow.) There is no rest for the wicked. Like yesterday, I didn’t plan to post today on Haiti, but some things just lend itself to plugging away on the keyboard. More disaster evangelism, disaster adoption, and Very Important People appeared in today’s Columbus Dispatch with the arrival of Nephtalle Jean-Pierre, soon to be renamed Gracie Hansley. Nephtalle is a former resident of Maison des Enfants de Dieu aka For His Glory Adoption Outreach in Port au Prince. Home from Haiti First, as if we don’t already know it, we learn that God, with his super quake powers, is the great distributor of adoptees. From the way people talk lately you’d think that without God’s hand in natural disasters there would be no adoption. “God really did bring her sooner,” Hansley said after she stepped off a plane from Florida yesterday and strode into the terminal at Port Columbus holding Gracie in her arms. But what God can’t do with an earthquake, our local pols can: Gracie and other Haitian children arrived in Florida on Saturday, where Hansley Continue Reading →
