I wanted to take a moment and comment on something that has been happening. I realized just a few minutes ago that its happening everywhere, from the smallest business to the government itself.
Oppression.
There are good people around the world who are being pressed down, told they are not worth what they do. My husband deals with it, several of my friends deal with it, and honestly people around the world hear it from their supposed governments.
Take America for instance. Instead of expanding and making the country better for its people, its closing and becoming more narrow-minded. This country was supposedly created for the people by the people. Now its for the government by the government.
Children are taken from caring and giving families, yet other children are left with undeserving families. Take it to the next point. Several families in Klamath falls have lost their children for silly reasons such as the house was dirty – it was being cleaned at the moment that Children Services chose to pay a visit. A pile of dirt needed to be put in a dust pan, but Children services had interrupted the act. So they took the child away. Then they forced the mother to sign documents on the claim that if she didnt, they would take any future children away from her. Another mother had her kids taken away on the allegation that they were underweight, even though she had a doctor’s note from before children services stepping in that said that they were where they were supposed to be. The foster parents also learned that the children where at the right weight. That mother also lost her children. Lawyers have told me that only 2% of children services cases are won by the parents here.
Along those same lines, there was a case two years ago that hit the front page of the newspaper where the family had children services called on them numerous times for abuse. Apparently, the mother had a daughter from a previous relationship, the guy skipped town and left her with the child. A year later, she met her husband and together they had a child. At that point, the little girl was 4 years old, the first child, I mean. The “step-father” and mother took to beating the little girl. Neighbors consistently called Children Services. Half the time, Children services never showed up. The rest of the time, they claimed that they saw nothing out of order. A week after the last visit by Children Services, the child was again badly beaten, and put into a corner. The child, according to the mother, was left there for several hours before the mother realized that she was too quiet. When she checked, the little girl was dead. To resolve the problem, the step-father and mother took the baby girl out to Round Lake and buried her there. It wasnt until a couple weeks after that that they were found out. The mother eventually lead police to the body.
In this town, Children Services can get away with numerous things. Surprisingly, this story never hit fox or any other widely known television station. Mostly because if the press ever came here, they would be sure to dig up enough proof, evidence, and whatever else to prove just how corrupt this town is.
There is a noise ordinance where I live that was taken to the extreme. I mean, sure, I have heard people blaring their music so loud that they have drowned out my own cars speakers, while I was driving. They were rude, no doubt. But now, if someone can hear the music from your care more than 12 inches away, you get a hefty fine. The fine is more for loud music than for not having seatbelts, littering, and not having insurance. Tell me, does that sound fair? I can understand listening to music. I love listening to mine. But seriously, that was going overboard.
My husband’s brother has been using my husband’s name when he is being arrested. The cops showed up at Jase’s work and started yelling at him about telling the jail that he was David. Turns out that David finally claimed his real name and the cops are now extremely confused. It gets better. Jase finally went to see his case file. There were people in his file that had no reason to be there. Two were mexicans, one was a girl. How they ended up in Jase’s file is beyond either of us. Because of that Jase cant clear his record. We cant even find out when the last felony was committed due to the local government’s screw ups. (Sadly, no lawyer will come here because, and I quote from several lawyer’s mouths “Klamath Falls is a law unto itself.” And the lawyers here are being paid to keep quite. Good ones are run out of town if they win their cases due to government negligence.)
The list of problems in this town is endless. I could go on for hours, days, weeks, months, possibly even years listing what is happening here. Though I doubt it would do any good.
Anyway, there is another place where stuff like this is happening. Helium.com. Yep, you heard me. Helium.com. Its face is pleasant to look at and gives the image of being a welcoming “community”. Sadly, right now. Its not a community. There used to be an almost constant communication going on between the stewards that has sadly fallen into a state of disrepair. The reason for the decline, because they shifted a wonderful caring person into a closet. Its not ok.
If you know some of the stewards on Helium, feel free to browse this site and add your thoughts and comments to it. http://mjjoachimmeetsheliummembers.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-barbara-whitlock-new-member.html?showComment=1242065700000#c4317054424170177185. The goal is to get Barbara where she belongs. She is a caring and fun individual. If you spoke to her you would see that she is an amazing person and an outgoing one. She cares about people, not just the business. If someone is unhappy she goes out of her way to find the problem and rectify it. This is the type of person we want to head the steward program. Add your voice to ours and lets start standing up against oppression!!!
I just wanted to take a moment…
