In Cornwall, Ont....
PUBLIC INQUIRY OPENS
ON 'PEDOPHILE CLAN' CLAIMS
by Paul Likoudis
CORNWALL, Ont. - Fifteen years after allegations that a "pedophile clan" consisting of prominent local officials in government, the Church, police, child welfare and probation departments abused dozens of young boys in the St. Lawrence River community of Cornwall on the eastern edge of Ontario, an official public inquiry led by Justice Normand Gloade opened here last week under a national spotlight.
This public inquiry is not to "determine who did what to whom," in the words of Justice Gloade - though that may come out in the course of the ten-month inquiry (broadcast daily on the Internet at www.cornwallinquiry.ca), but to determine "how public institutions in Cornwall responded in the past to any allegations of sexual abuse that were brought to their attention - not just in the Church but in all institutions," and to help those individuals who were abused, and who may be abused in the future, to cope with their trauma.
On the inquiry's opening day, February 13, the chief witness was Dr. David A. Wolfe, one of Canada's top sex abuse experts, a professor at the University of Toronto and a practicing psychologist whose specialty is sex abuse, and the author of the first academic textbook in the world dealing with issues of child sex abuse.
Over the next ten months, numerous witnesses will testify, building a mountain of paperwork that some critics of the inquiry fear will bury the scandal in a way that numerous government and police cover-ups, along with heavy doses of media ridicule, never could.
In past government inquiries into large scale sex abuse cases, such as the Winter Commission that probed Canada's first clerical sex abuse scandal in Newfoundland in the late 1980s, observed Ottawa-area Catholic Sylvia MacEachern, who has done ground-breaking work in the Cornwall sex abuse scandal, "recognized fully that every single priest involved was homosexual, and they quickly put that into context by saying that pedophile activity is not the norm for homosexuals.
"Then, the Winter Commission proceeded to 'muddy the waters' by lumping all victims together, male and female, and all perpetrators together - those who molest little boys and those who molest little girls - and went on to deal with pedophilia in the broad sense, rather than the pederasty that was applicable to the case," she said.
"One of the Winter Commission's conclusions," said Mrs. MacEachern, "was the imperative of addressing the issue of homophobia."
JUDGE SPEAKS OUT
On the day the inquiry opened, February 13, former judge and Member of Parliament Garry Guzzo was interviewed on CFRA-Radio in Ottawa, where the former MP, who had forcefully called for an official, independent public inquiry into what he called an "official cover-up" of a pedophile protection racket in Cornwall, only to be refused, flatly told host Steve Madely "there had to be a cover-up."
Asked by Madely if there "were members of very prominent family trees involved" in the crimes in Cornwall and the cover-up," Guzzo replied: "People thought it was just the Church, but we will find out that there were politicians, and they went to the police and gave them their orders....
"That's the trouble when you have a politicized police force," he added.
Guzzo recalled that when he went to the chief-of-staff of Ontario Premier Mike Harris, to plead for a public inquiry, a Harris aide told him, "Garry, find something else to do."
In 2001, after Guzzo successfully passed a bill calling for a public inquiry into the numerous police investigations in the Ontario legislature, it was ruled out of order by David Goodis, Senior Adjudicator in the Office of the Solicitor General, who said such an inquiry would not only violate the privacy rights of living people, but dead people as well.
In the Ontario government, the Office of the Solicitor General has oversight over all probation and corrections service personnel, and last year, the Office paid out a multi-million dollar settlement to individuals who claimed they were abused by probation and corrections employees. Fourteen of 20 victims took the pay-out (and accepted a gag-order not to talk about what happened to them), three refused because the money was not enough, and three insisted on going to trial with a different set of lawyers.
Guzzo's bill would have forced the Ontario Provincial Police to turn over to Parliament all of its records relating to the various investigations into the alleged "pedophile ring" in Cornwall, as well as coroner's records; but Goodis denied the legislature the right to see them.
THE CORNWALL CASE
A decade before "clerical sex abuse" became a national blood sport in the United States, this little down-and-out city of 46,000 was rocked by charges that its top civic leaders, including the Catholic bishop, his top priests and canon lawyer, the police chief, Crown attorneys and prominent local doctors and businessmen sexually abused dozens of young boys over a 50-year period.
Over the past seven years, Sylvia MacEachern investigated the allegations and broadcast her results in the lay newsletter, The Orator, subsequently publicized by The Wanderer in August 17, 2000, only a few cases have gone to trial, and there was only one conviction.
As Garry Guzzo explained on CFRA-Radio, "There was never any intention of anyone at the top to have a conviction. That's why three investigations never found anything. Only one fool went in and plead guilty, and if he hadn't, he would have got off...
"And all five people charged with over 30 charges died before trial," added Guzzo, though he did not specify most were suicides.
In the case of one of the charged, Jacques Leduc, an attorney and canon lawyer for the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall, who was accused of molesting three young men, a judge in October 2004 dismissed the charges, claiming the six-year delay by the Crown Attorney in bringing the case to trial violated Leduc's right to a speedy trial.
One of the problems with Leduc's trial was that the first judge, Colin McKinnon, was exposed during the trial by one of the witnesses as an attorney for the Cornwall Chief of Police and the Cornwall Police Services, and who had also threatened a legal action on behalf of the police chief against a local citizen for raising questions about the chief.
Then, the second judge appointed to the case, after McKinnon recused himself, gave Leduc a stay because the Crown Attorney allegedly did not disclose some information to the defense. That ruling was appealed, and by the time the appeal process was complete, the new judge ruled Leduc's right to a speedy trial was violated.
DR. WOLFE'S TESTIMONY
In a day-and-a-half of testimony, Dr. Wolfe explained the current level of understanding on pedophilia, and the traumatic effect it can have on the pedophile's victims, and his professional opinion backs claims often made by the U.S. bishops that they handled their pedophile priests the same way principals handled pedophile teachers and coaches.
Dr. Wolfe insisted that little was known about the "orientation" of pedophilia before 1991, and even less was known about the traumatic effect of sex abuse on children.
He described pedophilia as "an attraction to children, a sexual orientation to children. That's the only one that's an official mental disorder in the Diagnostic Manual, pedophilia. So it really means anyone from the ages zero to 18.
He said research indicates far more girls are abused than boys, but that may be because boys are more reluctant to admit abuse. But he also said that one reason so many boys were abused by pedophiles is because they are more available, since many parents, especially single parents, are eager for their young sons to have a "male mentor."
"The pedophile is attracted to children, so they will be interested in whichever child they have access to, and some are more interested only in one sex or the other, but they still may be involved with a child of the lesser desired sex because it's more accessible," he said.
"For example, adolescent boys are much more accessible to men than girls are...because in our society it's more acceptable for men to mentor boys. It's an important thing, and most adults feel it's a good thing for their sons to have a male figure that spends time with them and so forth, but they may feel less comfortable with their daughters...."
RERUNNING WINTER
As up-to-date and compelling as Dr. Wolfe's analysis is, Sylvia MacEachern fears that by his leading off of the Cornwall public inquiry, the result will be the same as the Winter Commission.
The Winter Commission report, observed Mrs. MacEachern, "acknowledged that its focus on sexual abuse was 'the involvement of male children in any form of sexual activity with members of the Roman Catholic clergy.' It also acknowledged that: the cases before it were homosexual in nature; the clerical predators of Newfoundland 'engaged in homosexual behavior by preference'; the boys involved were at least 12 years old when the sexual abuse started; and there was therefore 'no compelling evidence' of classical pedophilia; some of the 'perpetrators were sexually active with a number of adolescent male partners at any given time' and 'also appear to be homosexual'; and approximately 30 percent of the diocesan clergy were homosexual in orientation.
"Despite these stated observations," she continued, "which were categorized as a 'statistical anomaly', the Commission refrained from delving into the sphere of homosexuality and completely avoided Church teaching on the subject.
"Moreover, the Commission chose to take the politically correct route, so, among other things, the Commission indicated it was disturbed by the 'climate of homophobia' in the Archdiocese of St. John's and advised that this needs to be addressed 'if society is to avoid the unnecessary stigmatization of a significant portion of humankind' and recommended that 'education programs should direct public attitudes towards a healthy understanding of sexuality with concomitant goals of discouraging sexual stereotyping and homophobia.'
"In short, the Commission sidestepped the real issue, that of predatory clerical homosexuals; instead it took the opportunity to rely on 'feminist experience,' bashed the patriarchal structure of the Church and broadened its study to the 'larger social issue of childhood sexual abuse.'
"As Americans have seen how the clerical sex abuse scandal in the Church led to a massive education program on 'child safety,' so we can expect the long-awaited, long-demanded inquiry in Cornwall to lead to more 'child safety' programs, more sympathy for homosexuals, and more rights for pedophiles, whose orientation and rights will be protected by our Charter of Rights."

Book details gay, pederastic clergy
Matt C. Abbott
March 25, 2006
A forthcoming book by investigative journalist Randy Engel is likely to be one of the most controversial books of its kind in quite some time.
The Rite of Sodomy � Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church is 1318 pages in length, and, according to the book's Web site, "tracks the rise of homosexuality in the Catholic hierarchy, diocesan priesthood and religious life in the United States over a span of 100 years and three generations of prelates. It examines all facets of this intergenerational phenomenon on the life of the Church � yesterday, today and tomorrow. The text is broken down into five mini-book sections, each examining a different aspect of homosexuality in the Roman Catholic Church.
"Section I looks at pederasty, homosexuality in its most pervasive and universal form, from Antiquity to the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance, to the rise of the Modern State in the mid-to-late 1800s. Section II exams the complex nature and causes of male homosexuality, describes homosexual acts and behaviors, and provides an in-depth look at the secular Homosexual Collective and the inordinate power it exerts over the individual homosexual. Sections III and IV document the growth of the vice within the American Church (AmChurch) with special attention to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/U.S. Catholic Conference and Catholic dioceses headed by homosexual cardinals and bishops.
"There is biographical data on more than 30 homosexual prelates and detailed case studies on homosexuality and pederasty in six major religious orders. A carefully researched report on New Ways Ministry, one of the most influential pro-homosexual auxiliary organizations in AmChurch, illustrates the total ineptitude of the Holy See in confronting morally subversive agencies within its own ranks. Section V brings all elements of the controversy over homosexuality in the Catholic Church under one roof � the dome of St. Peter's. An examination of the role played by Pope Paul VI in connection with the rise of a "gay" clergy in the Universal Church bring this blockbuster work to its startling conclusion.
"The Rite of Sodomy contains 4,523 endnotes, a bibliography of over 350 books, and a full index."
Also, Engel has informed me that her book will "back [Father James Haley] up" regarding Cardinal Theodore McCarrick's alleged abuse of power via seminarian sleepovers while bishop of Metuchen, NJ.
The official website for the book, due out in July 2006, is www.riteofsodomy.com.

Author Biography
Randy Engel, one of the nation�s top investigative reporters, began her journalistic career shortly after her graduation from the University of New York at Cortland, in 1961. A specialist in Vietnamese history and folklore, in 1963, she became the editor of The Vietnam Journal, the official publication of the Vietnam Refugee and Information Services, a national relief program in South Vietnam for war refugees and orphans based in Dayton, Ohio. She recorded for the Voice of America and Radio Saigon. In 1970, she received the Distinguished Service Medal for �exceptional and meritorious service to Vietnam.�
In addition to her writings and relief work on behalf of the VRIS, in the mid-1960s, Randy Engel developed an intense interest in pro-life issues including population control, abortion and eugenics, putting her on the ground floor of the emerging Pro-Life Movement. In 1972, she founded the U.S. Coalition for Life in Pittsburgh, Pa., an international pro-life research and investigative agency, and began editing the USCL�s official publication, the Pro-Life Reporter. Her four-year study on the eugenic policies and programs of the March of Dimes titled �Who Will Defend Michael?� quickly put the USCL on the map as the finest pro-life research agency in the U.S.
Her investigative findings documenting the rise of the federal government�s anti-life programs at home and abroad served as the basis for her testimony before Congressional hearings in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Randy Engel�s groundbreaking investigative findings related to US/AID abortion and sterilization programs in Latin and South America, Asia and Africa were instrumental in bringing about major pro-life changes in the Agency for International Development�s foreign assistance programs.
Many of her original research publications for the USCL including �A March of Dimes Primer � the A-Z of Eugenic Abortion,� and �The Pathfinder Fund � A Study of US/AID Anti-Life Funding� have become pro-life classics and continue to enjoy wide circulation.
In 1995, the veteran pro-life researcher exposed the long-standing eugenic abortion record of Dr. Henry Foster, President Bill Clinton�s nominee for U.S. Surgeon General, resulting in the Senate�s failure to approve the nomination.
Sex Education � The Final Plague, Randy Engel�s first full-length book on the sexual conditioning of Catholic school children was published by Human Life International (Baltimore, MD) in 1989 and later by Tan Publishers (Rockville, IL). Her second book, The McHugh Chronicles � Who Betrayed the Pro-Life Movement? was published in 1997, while she continued to gather researching material and conduct interviews for The Rite of Sodomy.
Over the last forty years, Randy Engel�s articles, have appeared in numerous Catholic publications including Liguorian Magazine, Our Sunday Visitor, The Wanderer, Catholic Family News and the Homiletic and Pastoral Review. She has received numerous awards for excellence in investigative journalism including the prestigious Linacre Quarterly Award for Distinguished Writing by the Catholic Medical Association.
Meticulous documentation and references and easy readability are the hallmarks of Randy Engel�s investigative writings, and The Rite of Sodomy - Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church is no exception to the rule. The 1,318-page text contains 4,523 endnotes, a bibliography of over 350 books, is fully indexed and reads like a top-flight mystery thriller � except that it is not fiction � it is true.

(Another thing to think about - If these 11,000,000 illegal immigrants
are given amnesty and work permits, They will all be first in line for
all city, county, state & federal civil service jobs and many tightly
govt. controlled corporations in front of all of the approximately 70%

in your area allow you to use, Here in Miami it is Anglo because for us
whites to call our selves white insinuates the Cubans aren't so They

There will probably be a moratorium on hiring white Americans (like
there has been here in Miami) Under the institutionalized discrimination
known as affirmative action until the percentage of Hispanics employed
in civil service jobs reaches the percentage they equal in the U.S.
population, Which will Never be reached because the Border will Never be

Subject: What English First is doing about the immigration bill.
I thought you might wish a briefing on
the upcoming Senate debate on the amnesty bill and what English First is
doing to take advantage of this opportunity.
In the Senate, unlike the House of Representatives, there are really
no rules on what amendments can be offered to a non-appropriations bill.
This means, for example, that any Senator can move to substitute the
McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill in the place of whatever the Judiciary
Committee votes out on Monday and, if his motion gets a majority, the
battle is transformed.
I have told colleagues that we should not improve a bill we are
trying to kill. There is no way to make amnesty-guestworker palatable.
I've noticed no one is discussing what happens when the
newly-amnestied are suddenly eligible for government benefits such as
Medicaid. There is a reason.
Once amnesty is granted, every one of those 12 million illegal aliens
could go on the dole immediately. This would mean an increase of at
least 65 billion dollars in Medicaid spending alone
Actually, 65 billion dollars is just the tip of the iceberg. Under
Clinton Executive Order 13166, your local hospital would actually be
required to advertise in Spanish to illegal aliens encouraging them to
take advantage of their newly free health care.
That said, I also know that the last time the Senate passed an
official English amendment was during the amnesty debate of the 1980's.
This could be our first chance to get the Senate on record on English
issues in over two decades.
This is an opportunity we must seize.
I am urging the Senate to add Senator Tom Coburn's E.O. 13166 repeal
bill (S.557) as an amendment to the immigration bill. I am also urging
that the Senate add Congressman Peter King's National Language Act (H.R.
4408) as an amendment.
You can expect more alerts than usual as things take shape next
week.
Thank you for your time.
