Studying the "Communication of Deviance", and the real world of facing social deviants who commit criminal acts?

(This post is, after these words in brackets, something I wrote about two posts in a yahoo user group I am a member of. Those original posts are included in this post also.)


Hi, just around to catching up on reading some of the chaos stars words, and responding tonight to a few perhaps, when there are obvious correspondences with events/news being held in common here in Australia at present:

My comments here are about Julienne's post about recent work by social researchers in the USA about the tactics used by sexual predators. Then I have put some commentary about the Eldorado Ranch situation at the bottom also, and then a copy of the post Julienne made about that.

There is a Catholic ministry in Sydney Australia, which has been working with homeless youth in the City for a long time now, and the leading name involved is a Priest who has often spoken up on late night television. Recently his work is being better funded that ever before. But what I wanted to mention is that his work often involves contact with children in the age range over twelve, who have run away from abuse in their own homes, but whom are totally disabled from normal social interactions. He has openly discussed the issue of what we can all, as a whole society, do with such children. There was one child he made an overt example of, who had no habitual behaviours with anybody younger or weaker than himself, that were not in the pattern of "coaching", or "grooming" the younger/weaker children into letting themselves be raped by him. At the time, that child was only fourteen, but the youth service were saying that they simply could not place him, because of the risk he posed to other children. He was not wanted in foster families he had been placed with either for the same reasons, and the Priest who runs that youth service, was making the example, because everybody knew that they boy would be in juvenile detention soon enough because of his habits, and that the juvenile detention would lead to more criminal behaviour, which would lead to adult prisons, which would lead to being exposed to brutal bashings and rapes . . .

What is the solution? When the nation state to makes such individuals the responsibility of everybody by sticking them in prison for their whole lives, the prisons become too dangerous to use for other men and women, without their lives also being made too vulnerable.

The work being described in the post from Juliene is extremely important, and I like the language being used. Knowing phrases like "desensitisation from deceptive trust development" that involves "luring communication" in a pattern of "the communication of deviance", certainly enables these matters to be discussed, but there is always that point of no return, in which discussing the issues winds up recognising that the perpetrators were always themselves first victims, and at the same time, that society can stand no compassion for their reality of having felt to be the victim, whenever they are perpetrating. Where is the line in the sand between opening the topic for real dialogue about social needs that we can fulfill, and leaving wounds gaping wide open to being vulnerable for further abuse.

Here in Australia it is very gradually becoming recognised by more and more Aboriginal Australians, that many of our Aboriginal/Indigenous men, who were wrongly imprisoned in youth, became exposed in prisons to people like that person who was once a fourteen year old who no service could afford to assist, and are living their lives out in the sorrow of placing themselves in the role of victims so as that nobody else in our society need suffer.

The whole situation is of such deeply ingrained sorrow and even compassion for the perpetrators, because the good men in the prisons, are realising the nature of the mental illnesses which are caused by being abused in certain ways, by placing themselves as a human barrier between those illnesses and our women and children. Often they are too terrified to re-enter the community outside of prison, even when always innocent of the crime that sent them to prison, because they do not want for any child to look at them and want to see a father figure in their eyes. These men, a few of whom I am personally close with, who have made themselves into human barriers, are actively preventing society from forgiving their own associations with the worst perpetrators inside the prisons; and they are doing that to themselves within real belief in the forgiveness of God through Jesus. More are becoming Muslims also recently. They are themselves drawing the perpetrators attention onto their own body and life, because there is no other solution here in Australia where we have no capital or corporal punishment system available through the courts, (only prison and community work orders).

The attitude of "please do not try to forgive me of my own contact with the worst of human consequences", seems to be effectively able to protect children at least. It is an understatement to say that the men inside the prisons who take that attitude of not wanting to let their own children, or nieces and nephews etc, or mothers, forgive them, are most often those who are fully certain of their own forgiveness in Christ.

I cannot under any circumstances report this much details of the situation which Aboriginal Australians are facing, (and protecting the whole mainstream Australian society from, only by work to protect our own immediate families, because our own families have been forced to become the most vulnerable now for many generations), without also reporting that the men who take the actions I have described, have chosen to by will alone, but not until they found themselves with no other choice apart from becoming puppets of organised crime in the prisons who are also running brothels etc, which use youth who were raped at a younger age. Those men found that they had the choice of being permanently victims, or being used to cover up the crimes of real perpetrators against younger more vulnerable victims, and chose to let their own bodies be the victim. They chose to sacrifice their own innocence to feed the perpetrators in the jails. Often, the men who perform that function, are set up by the more violent perpetrators, into roles in which they seem to be the face themselves of who is committing the worst crimes inside the prisons. So when new inmates enter the prison, it is the good guys who they are forced by the security guards (screws) to be most afraid of. (the screws are notorious for all being involved in raping and bashing prison inmates, and I know a man who was a literacy teacher in the prisons, who was himself bashed and raped by screws, and he is a man with a brother who is a screw, so ought have been safer than many would have been) Meanwhile behind the scenes is a whole other story, in which the real child molestors are being protected, and enabled in their framing up of relatively innocent men, (in prison for being drunk and arguing on the street for example), as though the innocent men are the actual perpetrators of the worst crimes. There is a pattern of those innocent men who realise that why the perpetrators are being protected, is to direct their crimes against adult men rather than against those not already inside a prison, and then sacrificing themselves with being branded in the reputations of the perpetrators. Significantly there are also patterns by which Aboriginal men are enabling our traditional cultural knowledge of exorcisms to be the vehicle by which the whole situation is being managed.

The exorcisms are often difficult to source, but for who knows about how exorcisms work, the solution is to use exoskeletal marine life, such as crabs. So from the outside looking in, the most assistance we can ourselves provide, is by engaging in behaviour such as making short films showing imagery of crabs and other shell fish, and making it available through prison internet forums, etc.

Researchers reveal communication tactics used by sexual predators to entrap children

A child's innocence and vulnerability presents a target for a sexual predator's abusive behavior. University of Missouri researchers are beginning to understand the communication process by which predators lure victims into a web of entrapment. This information could better equip parents and community members to prevent, or at least interrupt, the escalation of child sexual abuse.

"Our children are our greatest gift and our greatest responsibility. The fact that they could be abused in any way, shape or form is horrific--both in the moment of the abuse and in the long-term effect," said Loreen Olson, MU associate professor of communication in the College of Arts and Science. "It's a social problem with grave consequences that is prevalent and needs attention. It's incomprehensible, but it's happening. The sexual abuse of children has dramatic negative consequences to their emotional well-being throughout their lives."

According to the researchers, in order for the process of entrapment to take place, the perpetrator must first gain access to the potential victim through various exploitive means. Olson and her team identified several communicative elements in the cycle of entrapment, including the core phenomenon of "deceptive trust development." Deceptive trust development describes the predator's ability to build a trusting relationship with the victim in order to improve the likelihood of sexual encounter.

Deceptive trust development is central to other manipulative strategies used by the predator such as grooming. Grooming sets the stage for abuse by desensitizing the victim to sexual contact. Grooming may include activities such as sitting on a child's bed and watching them get into their bedclothes; "accidentally" touching the child inappropriately; showing the child pornographic images; and making contact or sex play with implicit sexual suggestions.

As perpetrators are grooming their victims and building d eceptive trust, they also work to isolate them both physically and emotionally from their support network. Isolation strategies may include offers to baby sit, giving the child a ride home, and taking advantage of fragile family and friend relationships. Isolation causes the victim to become more and more dependent on the perpetrator.

A third strategy is approach, which is the initial physical contact or verbal lead-ins that occur just prior to the sexual act. Examples of approach strategies include suggestions to play sex games, more explicit discussions about sexual issues, giving a child a "rubdown," bathing or undressing a child, and instigating wrestling and other physical games as a means to escalate sexual physical contact.

Olson, and her co-authors analyzed existing published material on pedophilia and child sexual abuse and proposed their theory that explains the communication process used by child sexual predators. Their theory of luring communication is part of a new area of study which Olson calls "the communication of deviance."

"The more we know about how these adults are entrapping children and building a sexual relationship with them, the better we can either intervene and stop the cycle from happening, or de-escalate it," Olson said.

According to the study, the theory of luring communication also may offer important insight into social, deviant and communicative problems plaguing society, such as how con-artists lure victims and the recruitment strategies of gang or cult members.

The paragraph below is really hard to wrap your head around, because the reasoning required to defeat the sort of delusions which are carried by actual child abusers, are too deeply ingrained in the fabric of society, among those who are not ever likely to enact any active child abuse, but who are neither actively preventing it. Try reading it but you might need to read over it a few times.


I think that the situation with that Eldorado Ranch place, needs to be very seriously and carefully considered, because there is more often a social element of bias against many of the real religous practises of the Church of Later Day Saints, because of the book of Mormon having been partially based upon Qur'an. There is a strong anti-Islamic sentiment among many Christians in the USA and here in Australia, in which often Mohammed is wrongly blamed for having taken into his family a young girl whose life had already become betrothed to him in marriage. The reality of Mohammed, is that he agreed to marry the girl when she became old enough, and made that agreement when she became born, as a favour to the girl's father, and within the fact that Mohammed was already by then the most important individual in his community. When the girl (Aisha) turned seven her father was already unable to support his household, and so Aisha went to live at Mohammed's house. Certainly there is no record of any misconduct towards her, or any touching of her that is not normal healthy contact for children (like picking a small child up to see something needing to be taller to see), on Mohammed's part. Also Mohammed's instructions about polygamy are very strict and conditioned by needing to be able to be a perfect husband to every wife, and also for every wife to be willing for every other wife to be a co-wife. The first step in assessing the situation with that Eldorado Ranch, really needs to enable that all social bias against Mormons, because of their associations with Islam, to be removed from the debate about what was really being perpetrated against children. Then the second step is to find out if any misconduct had been taking place by perpetrators who were assuming that the lies about Mohammed were real; then also, the third step has to be to find out if any misconduct had been taking place because of perpetrators imagining that they could get away with blaming their own misconduct upon those many many people who tend to blame Mohammed, or blame the book of Mormon for aligning itself secretly with Islam. That is the really difficult aspect of debating issues around child protection: that because there are precedent examples of people who were blamed for being perpetrators, when in fact they were not, two sets of ill mindedness arise out of the predicament; the first is that actual perpetrators imagine being able to excuse their actions by blaming other persons who they imagine might be, or might have once before been, perpetrators of the same thing; then second, is that groups of people who know the story of Mohammed's child wife Aisha, and know that Mohammed was innocent, tend to try to use that knowledge to entrap perpetrators of real child abuse into blaming Mohammed, but only so that they themselves can gather knowledge of real perpetrators who they want to be blaming. It is not always so obvious at first, but when you think about it, if we tell the story of Mohammed and Aisha to anybody who might be tempted to use it as an excuse to commit a crime against a child, then we were also involving ourselves in tempting that person into the crime. Yet so many already know that story of Mohammed and Aisha, and many Christian Evangelist Churches use the story as evidence against Islam. But then, it is no better of Muslims, to try to profit from blaming the Christian Churches who blame Islam. In fact it is even worse because all Muslims are taught not to blame, for this very reason, that it instigates an example of there seeming to be any capacity for anybody to be getting away with any crime by blaming the victim of the crime, or by blaming an innocent bystander, who then becomes also a victim.

There are certain crimes that most of us give false evidence of committing ourselves at times. For example, if we are female and wear certain clothing, then we look as though we are tempting male sexual advances, only by showing immodesty. We might already know that all the men in our own social network, are conditioned to expect that a woman is allowed to dress as she pleases, and so will try not to feel tempted if seeing a cleavage, for example; but we can not guarantee that every man who might observe every woman showing her cleavage, has been schooled and disciplined into not veiwing her exposed cleavage as an askance for his sexual advance. So does that make it wrong to show cleavage? Wrong to show cleavage without a sign above her saying "Not for touching"? Wrong to let any man be uncertain about why she is showing that cleavage, since many woman show cleavage as a way of attracting a sexual partner? Wrong to let her self be unclear as to why she is showing her cleavage, and then also blaming a man who is tempted to ask her out on a date because he liked the look of her cleavage? That last issue is the killer. It is the problem that is being faced always in every Muslim society. Is it wrong to let people know about Aisha being so young when she became Mohammed's financial responsibility? Is it wrong to let people know that and not clarify the story? Is it wrong to let people know that and not clarify the story and then count their lack of clarity against them? Is it wrong to let people know about Aisha's age, and not clarify the story, and then count their lack of clarity against them as a source of who to blame for needing to have more money for protecting our own children with? OF COURSE IT IS WRONG!!! Anybody who behaves differently is held to be the wrongdoer equally to the sins of actual perpetration of child abuse. Its a hard call that part of the story of Islam.

If Mormons want to align themselves with Islam, they have to face the full story of what is being projected onto them because of that, and they have to face the fact that there is no way to profit from having been assumed to be worse in their conduct towards children than might have been real.

Can you see the point I am getting at. I do not myself have any real evidence about the Eldorado Ranch community, but I am inclined to believe the story about woman being too young when marrying and giving birth. So there is a set of people who are at fault, or else the whole thing would never have been happening. If there proves to be no real abuse that was taking place, (or if all the women say that they were willing to be married and so no prosecutions can happen) then whoever alerted the media might have been trying to make it seem as though there was abuse happening, or as thought the abuse was worse than is realistically the case, in which they are at fault for causing it to seem as though there exists the excuse for other perpetrators, of somebody to blame. However, since it is more likely with the situation as I have witnessed it in our Australian media, that a few women are obviously of an age at which their children's existance proves that they were too young to have been willingly married, because they were too young to understand what adult consent is, there is probably, or possibly, are real case against the institution, and which needs very careful investigation and examination of all its evidence.

The issue however, is that if anybody tries to blame that particular Mormon like institution, or blame any other Mormon like institution because that one exists, if any other Mormons try to capitalise upon having been wrongfully blamed, then their capitalisation manifests being a part of the problem, that could even cause another instance of the same sort of behaviour in another similar group.

What I am saying, is that I am myself suspicious of the motivation of the whistle blower, partly because there is so much media coverage, and the whole community was large enough that other parts of the totality of those who align with the Church of Later Day Saints, must have already known about the Eldorado situation. Why make a notification now? But more offensive in fact, is it to have made a notification which is attracting so much media attention. Anybody at all who profits from such media attention, could only be proven to be a part of the problem. This is why our Aboriginal men are in a total silence about what is happening to all of us.

Recently I have been visiting the state of Australia where there are many remotely located communities, about which the federal government made special legislation which gives the police and army special powers to intervene, and impose medical examinations of every child, for the purpose of preventing sexual assaults of children. There is some good which can be made from the situation, for example the imposition of no-alcohol zones by the army, and no-pornography zones; but we are all bearing the brunt of a legislated intervention into everybody's lives, which is publically enabling us to all become branded as being potential child rapists.

I believe that some of the members of the Church of Later Day Saints are aware of our situation here in Australia, and their notification to the authorities of the Eldorado situation must be accepted by everybody as a sign of their solidarity with the situation as I am describing it here in Australia. Just know that the real solidarity only exists when there is not financial profiting from the situation. Here in Australia not everybody will agree that we ought not be asking for financial recompense for what is happening, (and has been happening with the wrongful removal of children from mothers already for many generations) and that debate has proven to be what prolongs the uncertainties which enable abuse of children.

After the federal government legislated to intervene in Aboriginal communities on behalf of our children, but in ways that are not the sort of help that mothers and others asking for help were needing and asking for, there was an election, and that government was removed, and is now replaced by a Labor government. The Labor government has made a statutory and unconditional apology to every Aborigine for the wrongful removal of the "stolen generations" who are defined now in law as those many many Aborigines made wards of the state by past Australian government policies. Our forebears were made lifelong wards of the state only because of our race and culture, and that caused that we were forced into being vulnerable to wrongful accusations of child abuse, which in turn enabled those actual predators who exist, to imagine they could get away with child abuse, and so their offences escalated. Therefore the statement of sorry is truly a remarkable act on the part of the Australian government. It sets a historic precedent in legislation.

We have another hurdle yet to overcome, and that is the legislation that is within the Australian constitution, which still today, names our race of land owning responsible human beings, as non-existant at the time of British invasion. The terrible nature of that legislation is that many other things have been added to it, without it being repealled, so today there has been a constitutional ammendment since 1967, enabling Aborigines to be citizens of Australia and have legislation made about us (even though we constitutionally do not exist); there is also recognition of prior ownership made in 1988, so we are aknowledged as having been pre-existing land owners, as being now citizens, but not as having been a human land occupation. Our government has promised us a referendum asking the total set of Australian citizens to repeal "Terra Nullius" in our constitution. Voting is compulsory in Australia and every citizen can be fined or imprisoned for not voting.

The individuals who made a public notification about the Eldorado Ranch situation are nothing if not brave.

Here is Julienne's original post about that:

Sect Children Will Stay in State Custody, Judge Rules

April 18, 2008

SAN ANGELO, Texas (CNN) -- Hundreds of children who were taken from a polygamist ranch by Texas child welfare authorities will remain in state custody, a judge ruled Friday night.

# NEW: Judge finds sufficient evidence for Child Protective Services to keep custody
# NEW: Judge orders court DNA testing for all 416 children taken from ranch
# Rulings come after two days of testimony at custody hearing
# Texas Rangers pursue Colorado woman regarding phone calls to a crisis center

Women arrive Friday at the courthouse wearing their traditional high-collared, pioneer-style dresses.

(there was a picture here that I edited out)

Judge Barbara Walther also ordered court DNA testing for all 416 children who lived at the YFZ (Yearning For Zion) Ranch in Eldorado to determine their biological parents.

The compound is run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- a Mormon offshoot that practices polygamy.

Walther made her ruling after two days of testimony at a hearing to determine whether the children were properly removed by child welfare authorities.

Walther said she found sufficient evidence for Texas Child Protective Services to keep custody of the children.

Officials are now looking for "the very best temporary placements for these children," said Marleigh Meisner, CPS spokeswoman.

"This is not about religion -- this is about keeping children safe from abuse," she added.

An attorney representing some of the children said he planned to appeal the ruling.

"We're a little disappointed in what the process turned out to be," said Cody Towns.

The ranch raid stemmed from a series of phone calls in late March from a 16-year-old officials referred to as Sarah, who said she had been beaten and forced to become the "spiritual" wife to an adult man.
Don't Miss

* Witness: Teens at ranch said any age OK to marry
* Polygamist ranch probe shifts to Colorado
* Commentary: Can Texas take the children?
* Ex-sect members escape polygamy but not pain

FLDS members have denied that the girl, supposedly named Sarah Jessop Barlow, exists. Authorities have been trying to locate her, but have been unable to identify the girl.

Texas Rangers said Friday they are pursuing a Colorado woman as a "person of interest" regarding the phone calls that touched off the raid. Authorities said a search of the home of Rozita Swinton, 33, resulted in evidence that may link her to phone calls made about the YFZ ranch.

Earlier in the day, a defense witness testified that it is uncommon for a polygamist sect to force girls as young as 13 into marriage, as the state alleged.

Religious scholar John Walsh also addressed a particularly damning piece of evidence: At least one bed found inside a temple that was allegedly used to consummate such marriages immediately after the ceremony.

"Historically, the only use of a bed in a temple is for temple worship itself," said Walsh, who said he has studied the FLDS practices for 18 years. "The worship lasts a couple of hours, so all the temples will have a place where someone can lie down."

But, he said, "To my knowledge, there has never been any sexual activity in a Mormon temple."

Walsh said he also studies the mainstream Mormon church, which renounced polygamy a century ago and has no ties to the FLDS. He said without the polygamy aspect, the FLDS would resemble the Baptist or Catholic religions.

Walsh was followed to the stand by FLDS member Marilyn Jeffs, who said she was not forced into marriage before age 18. It wasn't clear whether Jeffs is related to jailed FLDS leader Warren Steed Jeffs.

Another FLDS woman, Maureen Jessop, said she was a mother of two toddlers and an infant, but also was trained as an emergency medical technician -- despite her husband's wishes. Jessop said she is a stay-at-home mother by choice. "I have a wonderful life in Eldorado," she testified.

Also testifying Friday was child psychiatrist and state witness Bruce Perry, who said FLDS children are taught that disobeying orders leads to eternal damnation and have little opportunity to learn how to make independent choices.

Young children are not mature enough to enter into a sexual relationship or a marriage, he added.

Perry, who has worked with families in groups such as the Branch Davidian sect near Waco, Texas, said that if the children are allowed to remain in state custody, "There have to be exceptional elements in place for these children and their families. The traditional foster care would not be good for these children."

The state had the burden of demonstrating to Walther why removing the children was necessary.

In court Thursday, Texas state officials presented records they said show 10 women were either married or pregnant as minors. The list was found during the raid, locked in a safe at a main ranch office building, the officials said. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

For who followed a link into this web log

Hi, this is the official apology since the book of poetry which was initially available here in this weblog, to be used by those whom can, for the purposes of exorcisms, is no longer available.

If your need for the poems by which the nightmare of invasion can be exorcised, then try at lulu.com where it now costs $30 US plus the shipping cost. But if you are not able to afford that, then explain that to me in the comments field below, since I might be able to let you obtain either a PDF file of for free, or a cheaper paper copy. The volume is now called:

The Christmas Which Never Came

And in the present edition is accompanied by a contextualising essay, and the whole is subtitled:
Through the Strangeness of Strangers
But for a Boy with a Book

There is one other title at lulu.com, in my name: Rebecca Copas, which is also called The Christmas Which Never Came, but subtitled Dreaming Haadjir. That volume contains a minor quantity of the same poetry, and also has a much more in depth analysis of the associated psychology. However it is still only in a manuscript form, and being made available now as it is only for the purposes of those whom conceive of its effectiveness in tafsir analysis.

SUGAR

when looking in this site: if you are following a general direction rather than an url, please have a look at every post in the thread to find which I might have intended for you to read


SUGAR

This is a story about me and the sugar glider, so I start with the story I first learned about sugar gliders in. I have a friend who moved from a remote subtropical rainforest community into Canberra, and often returned to her land for rest, respite, recuperation, and re-finding temperance to her own landscape. Once upon a time, since the best part of the story always begins that way, when she came home to the house we shared in Canberra, there was a sugar glider among her luggage. She knew right what to do. The Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) can put everybody into their right track with rescuing native animals. The right track turned out to be that a National Park Ranger arrived and provided an escort for the sugar gliders journey by aeroplane, and the Australian Government expense, back into its natural habitat. Not just into the same sort of rainforest, but the exact rainforest it came from, and not just the same sort of tree a sugar glider usually lives in, but the exact right tree in which it has its home. It was a rare kind of sugar glider.

Now it happened to me more recently, among other things, that I have been asked to provide photos of Australian fauna, which were already in the internet, into another part of the internet, where two friends have a thread in a Muslim website forum for anybody who joins them, to show and tell about their animals. So I went web surfing for Australian fauna photography. I had already looked at thorny devils, red kangaroos, wallabies, bilbies, monitors, red bellied black snakes, taipans, tiger snakes, diamond pythons, rock formations, the odd camel, sturt desert pea and Spinifex grass, Spinifex hopping mice, termites, emus, budgerigars (whom apparently, are mentioned in Qur’an alongside the camel as having a place reserved in the Kingdom above), King parrots, the red tailed black cockatoo, marine and fresh water turtles, more roos, more emus, flying foxes, and then I found the sugar glider. I noticed a very strange thing straight away. A much larger percentage of the sugar glider photos were taken of sugar gliders in captivity. That’s odd, I thought.

However the WIRES e-mail I receive informs me not to worry my self too much because they are being breed by pet breeders in the United States of America, and that there are already so many around who were breed in captivity that the problem of protecting them is already insurmountable.

But there is an extremely distressing fact associated with the breeding of sugar gliders which is being conducted in the USA. There are incidents, upon which the better breed of breeders, want to prove that their own breeding techniques are far less invasive, though they all are working towards domesticating the species. One web site details a significant quantity of information about the proper methodology in breeding a sugar glider, and is named “glider university”. In their definition of what is proper they also outline in vivid detail exactly what other breeders are doing which is not so proper.

In Aboriginal culture, if a thing is not properly in culture, then it is never described so as to prevent any continuance of the act. And facts of abuse are never portrayed until a happy resolution has been Dreamed through by enough people, and the start of the story in which that happy resolution occurs, is proven in reality to have commenced.

I wonder if glider university is named as it is, because the Americans are discovering that marsupials are exceptionally devious at finding methods to get around the taming process? Will the sugar glider ever learn to jump on command! The bastards for ever even trying to make them. But glider university details that some sugar gliders are very docile, yet that it is a damage done to their genetic, in which they have been caused to be very lethargic, by removal from their mother too young. Glider university recommends against the practise.

Glider university also portrays, with two lengthy articles, the following facts:
Marsupials are born not yet in full gestation, and at birth, (they miss out the description of the arduous life the infant is conditioned to at that time in a climb into the pouch), the infant attaches to their mother’s “nipple”, as though through an umbilical cord and placenta. The bond between the infant and the mother’s milk gland, (it ain’t at all nipple shaped), lasts seventy days. After which the infant can leave the pouch for very brief periods.

Then it relates that at that time the parents might leave the infant all alone for periods of up to thirty minutes at a time! This fact is reported as though it could distress an American. And somewhere in the back of my mind I can remember having relayed to an American, the story about the mother who left her baby in the shade to unite with a man whom was not her actual Husband, in which the baby died. It is a powerful Dreaming. Actually it sort of happened to me, but I was left in the sunshine, and my mother was swimming with her cronies at the beach, and I did not die, but rather became covered in ants who came to eat the alcohol based sun screen lotion on me. I was then myself two weeks out of the womb and had been left for thirty minutes alone. Glider university informs us now that you may only really handle the sugar glider infants when they have had about two weeks of briefly experiencing life out of the pouch. This was getting weird for me. Apparently the baby sugar gliders have a very real need of their father as well as their mother, and that paternal child relationship should not be harmed. I am reminded of having written about why Aborigine children have been at risk in their own communities, and having written that the main fault is in the fact of the high level of incarceration of the adult male population, and the multiply incidents of anal rape being forced upon those men, after which their heart is not able to be in their father hood, because many are abused into receiving the labelling of being a sexual offender, only from having an erection while being anally raped. Certainly no Aborigine child’s father ought ever have had to endure that; and no Aborigine child ever needed to find their way in life without a decent father, since in out way we all have many fathers.

But get this will you? Glider university describes that it is perfectly alright to mal-adapt your own mind towards the sugar glider, by personification taken to an extent of defying the natural condition of the species. For example:
In the event that they are left alone, it has been observed that the parents will cover the joeys with a "blankie" or something of that nature to keep them warm. If the joeys do cry out and the parents ignore them for several minutes, that DOES NOT indicate bad parenting or sign of rejection. It merely indicates that the parents want a little time to themselves. The joeys may be left for about 20-30 minutes, sometimes even a few minutes longer. Many new glider caregivers, having been misinformed, may have a tendency to panic when they see the joey left alone and attempt to "rescue" it. It is important to remember that the joeys need the mother sugar glider's milk to get the very important immunoglobulins that cannot be reproduced in a supplemental milk or nutritional supplement. It is best to leave the situation alone, and let the glider parents do their job the way they want to do it.
But why can I remember that in the Dreamtime story in which a mother leaves her baby unattended, and it dies, she had covered the baby up somewhat with leaves; but I know I did not tell the Americans that part of the story. So what is the heavy emphasis on the “Blankie” for, or am I just being too imaginative here myself?
Why are Americans in need of reassurance that a marsupial will look after it offspring?
But why are there so many sugar glider breeders in America, and other parts of the world, whom want to breed a domesticated variety? Are us Aussies just too wild or something?
But even worse, why is it that drifting off to sleep for the first time after finding the glider university, I had a dream of an American blaming me, in my being an Aborigine, as though the Aboriginal Australian race is all alike to a newborn marsupial, in character and temperament even in adulthood. And now I recall in the back of my mind being informed by a Australian person whom believes that Indigenous American Animist belief is true while Australian Animist is abuse: that every baby shows their essence more strongly when first born and not yet subject to environmental concerns. So what has glider university to tell us about a sugar glider joey? (maybe I need to enrol in a course there to learn how to be a Human being, since the condemnation upon our whole nation from American and other sources, is that we provide of animal self to EVEN OUR CHILDREN!) Glider university tell us that a newborn joey sugar glider embodies these conditions:
~The lungs are only partially developed
~The separation of the ventricles of the heart is incomplete
~Some cranial nerves are lacking
~There are no eye pigments or lids
~Cannot hear
~Jaws are not fully developed
But then in another section of glider university, we are taught that when born a joey is not much bigger than a grain of rice.
We are taught that the joey is not fully gestated, and that full term in utero is normally another seventy days in the pouch permanently attached to the mother’s milk gland in replacement of a placenta. We are in fact learning to devalue our own native species because of not having a placenta.
So now I am remembering my arguments made among American Muslims, in which the Sikh internet site users believed me and demonstrated more perfect Islam than those I disputed, in which I argued that a marsupial is an evolutionary improvement upon a rodent, and to be taken seriously as evidence of a portion of Qur’an.
While all along these Americans I argued with had already potentially been exposed to a false education as though missing a placenta defines a failure of maternal love.
“When a joey is "born" it is extremely underdeveloped!” they remind me in the public section of the glider university site. And I feel obligated to undertake their schooling in the development process.
Later in the same page of glider university we are informed that:
There have been several instances in which a 'breeder' will sell sugar glider joeys just a few days or weeks out of pouch, saying: "Well, in all reality, they were born months ago, so really, they're fine." We all know this isn't true. Persons who sell joeys this young are irresponsible and unethical.
So perhaps I need to learn to use these markings “” to define words one way in one context and another way in another context.
But the worst part about glider university is their photography. Well actually maybe the worst part is the fact that all the publicly accessible information is damnation of many other sugar glider breeders, for not doing the job more properly.
There is a photo of a grain of rice next to a grain of rice sized dead fetus, already naturally born, but who clearly had only not made the climb to the pouch in complete safety. Such things obviously can happen. But at glider university the breeder who took the photograph is a terrible murderous individual.
Glider university homepage has a BIG RED WARNING. “Caution: graphic content below (click read more to continue); and clicking read more, I find that it is only the tiny weany dead baby sized just a bit bigger than a grain of rice. What, were we meant to be horrified that death exists? The site also has a link to “the All God’s Creatures” website which is born again Christianity for very cute, born furry, placental mammals. I read more
“It is quite another thing to show photographs of a "just born" joey (obviously dead) comparing it to a grain of rice. How the photographer could feel justified in not only taking the photo, but then putting it on a website, is beyond me. These newborns are as small as a grain of rice--and the birth process is very rapid and usually goes unnoticed by the carer, because it SHOULD GO UNNOTICED. There are not very many ways these pictures could have happened. It looks as if the photographer interfered with the birth process and killed the joey, either on purpose or by accident, and then took a photograph. If this is the case, whether the photgrapher meant to kill the joey or not is irrelevant. It was irresponsible, and completely unethical. The callous recklessness with regard to the sanctity of life is blatant and reprehensible. It also once again shows that just because someone may have a license to breed sugar gliders, it is more often a license to kill. The most disgusting part of this photo is that the photographer obviously had no problem with posting on a website. There was no need for this. The description of the newborn joey contained on her website or even at most sugar glider websites (including GU), is enough--there is no need for a picture that just represents the death of another sugar glider due to the ignorance of the sugar glider caregiver. There is also no need to encourage other people to try and get a photo like this by putting this up on the site.”
Then the photographer is named and placed in a list of banned sugar glider breeders. But meanwhile, just around the corner, there is another photo of a baby sugar glider which shows a neat size comparison from a grain of rice to its head alone in a photo being the size of a Human thumb nail. That is ten days of a phenomenal milk supply wouldn’t you agree?
The link reads like this:
“In the most recent case of "hand feeding" from To and Fro Gliders (click here to see the photograph), these gliders were detached from the nipple at least 10 days early.”
No big fuss about the shocking appearance in this instance, since the sugar glider in the photo is clinically alive, but showing symptoms of haemorrhaging where it was removed from the milk duct. I can’t get that tiny baby out of my mind.
Neither can I continue to tolerant knowing that the mother might be getting milked without making this a public issue here in Australia. The photo of the baby had milk splashes around it, but nowhere near its mouth. I can’t stop crying over the image. But maybe that is just my story because my children were removed from me through discrimination against my sanity in a decision to identify as an Aborigine even though I am white. Apparently if a paler skin female has an intimate relationship with a darker skin man, and they are Aboriginal Australians, then that is tantamount to either insanity beyond being able to intelligently care for children, or it is a confession of want to rape children. There seem to have been folk who knew something I did not, and eventually I found out that when men are placed in prison here in Australia, same deal for every one among, that you need to be sodomised to test you for your tolerances so as to place you correctly in the prison community. I wonder if they are up to milking marsupial semen? In prison what the response in a man, or boy’s penis is, determines his social status and how “black” he can be regarded. Erect or not, how far, and was any semen forced out by pressure upon the prostate. A few of those whom could not prevent their own erection, but whom do not ejaculate, and in their responses to violence and drugs also, fit the bill to be whom has to re-conduct the experiment upon the next fellow to enter the gaol, show a remarkable skill in directing the pressure of their penetration such as to force the erection and ejaculation or not, depending upon whom they will want to be put where in the system. So, because I know these things, and my own children were taken off me, simply because I found out these things, I might not be the best person to evaluate the real need for concern about the sugar glider species from. I have been a dry well of endless tears for too long, and now the baby sugar gliders disposition is too far many too ills for me to bear without tears.
Maybe it is my indigenous nature which is permitting me to cry now? Because now I know that when I die I will have to be “turned into” a sugar glider. A sugar glider pet colony even. The sugar glider is becoming one of my own totems through this story. And all Heaven be praise that very many Aboriginal mothers and children will have the story along with me, since it is the clearest example we have that we did not cause our children to be stolen. We are not “the paedophile” as the prison system asserts, just little sugar gliders if we get too afraid about captivity.
Actually there were quite a few other animals I might need to be turned into through the process of having discovered this story.

A book of poetry
Called it toasted
And am of boasted

A few wonders in me

In many variety
By make up
And medicines

The mess created
By no less than

Poem of Maternal Love Known

The Turtle is
A magnificent beast
And if you are game to catch
Makes for the perfect feast

Its song will move on
From Island belong
To where none
Do dare
And its heart bare
Never win its fey fayre
But its ancient meat
Hold love to keep

Emus

Emus are alike
To a turkey fight
A peacock right
And a family bite
It has feathers alright
And a kick of might

The Kangaroo is my sister friend
Who will weather this when
Birds of a feather
Are all flocked together
And our own mob known
A mighty tether
Always on side
Is Kangaroo kind

Beware the lake

Live no lighter

The Australian Character

Glider university is not unusual except perhaps in the real quality of information it is providing. Perhaps also the extent to which it is leaning its credibility upon damning other breeders. We all might suppose that there is a really competitive market among sugar glider breeders. Indeed we find that there is ample advice about how not to remove the infant too young, LIKE THOSE OTHER BREEDERS DO, or else it is damaging the genetic by reducing life expectancy. But they go all docile and cute then, don’t they; as though the docility were not also evidence of harm being done the genetic. A bit like Aborigines who are white and too educated to remember when we know better already than what we are being educated into. Glider university promotes the concept of breeding “pet colonies” of sugar gliders in which all the males are neutered. But it is not telling us why nobody else agrees with the idea. Neither is the idea of a “pet colony” being related to the life expectancy.

Then if you consider that here in Australia there are syndicates of ex-police officers, whom own many of the hydroponics shops, presumably so as to tip off who needs to know if an new buyer comes along with a bit of a cannabis pong and buys up big. And such shops contain even the growth manuals of the cannabis plants, with how to for harvest as well as soil pH, etc. Who is it but whom is ‘getting their tits off’ on small marsupial milk, and where is the evidence able to get out the back door from the American Food and Drug administration? I have a mind to be asking for the Irwin family’s aid, since if anybody might have faked being complicit with such conduct, at least their money might have found out. And I just can not keep my mind from wandering to the early morning “proactive” advertising, which clearly depicts that a very strong and stable moisturiser is required when using a very stringent and acid skin defoliant.

Never mind agent orange, we are up to agent purple already now; and exotic animals for pets sites are informing us not to worry about lactose intolerance in sugar gliders, and that you just click on the marsupial you want and you will get it.

Meanwhile, I find out only after writing this, that every of the Aborigine men whom I know, who knew about my family court case, had the information about sugar gliders being the method for protecting our identify from impositions of the false labelling with paedophilia: but did not want to let me know. So hadn’t I better surmise that those whom know me intimately were hoping I would be who found the story that enables such.

Basically my well worn belief in this is that we might not be able to sustain any real protection of the blood lines which get petted, and breed in captivity, so the breeders have no right claiming any part in the processes of protecting bio-diversity. But also that now, with the force of further policing and the Army, being sent into remote communities, to, among other things, conduct medical examinations: Why don’t us whitefellas make a big publicity campaign against domesticating marsupials; because the Aboriginal children who need to know that there are enough whitefellas who care about their welfare that it is possible to live in two cultures in safety, will receive our caring best through the stories of the baby sugar gliders.
