Apr 20, 2008 at 9:52 pm -The FLDS is collateral damage to a political dirty tricks conspiracy. I have been watching this for two years and discovered that every event had a political relationship to the 2008 election. Every event is connected to the FBI starting with Jeff's introduction to the mainstream media by making the FBI 10 most wanted list. He does not fit the profile of Osama bin Laden or mass murderers on the list. There were NO federal charges to justify that. The wanted posters came out in three waves, each one increasing the reward by $50,000. Who authorized the rewards?
In June 2006 AGs Mark Shurtleff and Terry Goddard issue the 56 page "Primer' to draw the line where they intended to selectively enforce the law and so the FBI intrusion seemed to be the uncontrolled element.
Reports of the Swinton arrest shows she had research papers on the FLDS that detailed family relationships and addresses designed to be a cheat sheet while going through her script of abuse. Do you know that someone made $20,000 bail for Swinton and she is now missing? The sealed court records will implicate whoever is pulling the strings for this entire conspiracy. Swinton was not the prime mover, she had a sponsor. Swinton is a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, pledged to Barack Obama. Could this have been her reward for creating yet another event to discredit Mitt Romney for his LDS affiliation.
This is not about polygamy, child abuse or religion. It is all about national politics. The raid was timed to reinforce negative PR for the selection of McCain's VP and "NO MITT' advertising campaign against Mitt Romney.
Far fetched? This whole fiasco is far fetched.
I'm not one to appreciate tinfoil hat conspiracy theory but this sounds actually plausible.
At one level you are right, it matters not how abuse is uncovered. At another level, it is only within the past hundred years or so that arranged marriage and younger girls paired with older men began to lose prominence in Western Culture. Remember young Alice Munro and Major Duncan Heyward in "The Last of the Mohicans." A man was expected to establish himself and prosper before selecting a spouse from among the young women in the area.
It is still another thing entirely to hear that the Socialists Democrats may have manipulated the news events in a manner as loathsome as anything since the October Revolution or,(you already thought it) the Third Reich.
When CPS removes a possibly abused child they also take all of the children in that household- regardless if they all were abused or not. Since this group has multiple households living under one roof with paternity and maternity in question taking all these kids was their only course of action.
I hope these children do get the attention they need and also the women who were brainwashed.
I also think the authorities could have done this sooner they did say they had a guy in there for four years why hasn't he spoke up?
Swinton needs to be prosecuted to see what her real motives were! She has a history of doing this kind of stuff before.
All this stuff needs to be air out in the courts and on TV Court because this effects enough people all across the nation!
