I'm done coddling the
FLDS. Instead of opening fronts against those who choose to attack them, the
FLDS lie down and embolden them instead. For a while the facts worked on the side of the
FLDS and Texas was in disarray and cowering. Now, after watching the
FLDS be content with the tiny crumbs that have been doled out, Texas attacks again.
The Deseret News;
"Texas Rangers are investigating 20 cases of sexual assault and about 50 bigamy charges involving members of the FLDS Church, the Deseret News has learned.
Texas officials on Monday confirmed the number of open cases but would not say how many suspects were involved."
No one familiar with the facts of this case believe there are 50 "bigamous" FLDS men, as is evidenced by Rod Parker's "surprised" statement.
"Rod Parker, a Salt Lake attorney acting as spokesman for the Fundamentalist LDS Church, was surprised by the sheer number of sexual assault and bigamy cases.
And he insists there aren't enough men practicing plural marriage at the Yearning For Zion ranch outside Eldorado, Texas, to come up with 50 bigamy investigations.
"'I think they would have a problem coming up with 50 bigamy charges without charging the women,' Parker said."
Well, dummy, maybe you'd better wise up. THAT is what they're going to do. Smell the coffee.
"Even so, Parker believes Texas authorities will have a rough go at convicting a bigamy charge."
They're playing PERCENTAGES genius, they're also going back to the original playbook of impressing the press and impressing those who believe what they read in the press. If you charge 50 people with bigamy, it has to be true, right? Right?
You also silence the new cautious potential friends of the
FLDS by scaring them into believing they defend those who are indefensible. You also tie up the resources of the
FLDS by putting men
and women in jail. You threaten to remove even more children by the predicted sequence of events
THAT I GAVE YOU FORTY SEVEN DAYS ago. First, terminate the parental rights of the father. That isolates the mother as the only parent. Second, attack the mother's freedom with a criminal charge of some sort. Third, the
parentless child is now a perfect target for state legal custody.
Badda Bing,
Badda Boom. Texas has what it came for. The genocidal destruction of the
FLDS and their children. It just took longer.
The
FLDS are not going to win this war by waiting for Texas to start being nice to them, they're not going to win this war with one battle. While they wait, Texas opens the war up again on several fronts and drains their attention and resources. In this
intervening time between regaining custody of their kids and now, the
FLDS should have opened lawsuits all over the west against as many
respondents as possible and sued the living daylights out of all of them to tie them up, get their money (if possible) and get evidence into the record and discover evidence. They haven't done that. Now they pay.
I've hinted at it before and now I'm going to say it. They're going to lose my support. Not because I think they have suddenly gone from just to unjust or their cause from right to wrong, but because I cannot play the role of Dudley Do-Right to their perpetual and willing Nell
Fenwick. If they're going to tie themselves to the railroad tracks and keep walking past Snidely Whiplash, I can't help. No one else can either. If it is their destiny in their minds to be Holy Martyrs, well then, they can have it. Fight or Die. It's been clearly laid out. It makes no difference to me at this point. If the
FLDS Fight, then I will be there with them. If they choose to die, I will not.
