I brought this over from another thread because it's about polygamy laws/Supreme Court Canada.
Both Canada and Mexico concern me on this issue because of the fact that the multinational corporations are trying to morph us into one big North American Economic Alliance, one big marketplace where profit is all that counts and "inconvenient" laws are ignored.
The link is to a story about the Canadian FLDS.
At least the kids there have tricycles!
But that fricken Prophet Winston Blackmore: " . . . wouldn't say how many children he has or how many wives. One of the children on his property said there are 116 Blackmore children.
Blackmore told CTV News that he has "plenty enough" children. When it comes to the number of wives, he said he has "just enough, so I don't chase anybody else's."
For some reason, that makes me feel like :sick:
I can't tell from that story what the polygamy laws currently are there, but I'm going to start researching that, too. Because these guys who run their little fiefdoms via labor from their harems' offspring are acting like they're just happy little clams without a qualm about their shameless use of other human beings for their own profit.
It's just wrong to force any individual to be a pawn in someone else's game, a baby factory or a beast of burden, relentlessly trained from birth that that's their proper place in the universe. I get sick just thinking about it! :furious:
A couple of weeks ago one of the major networks (CNN?) did an interview with Winston Blackmore at his compound in British Columbia. He was very evasive, not willing to discuss how many wives/children, and instead took the reporter on a horseback tour of his compound. One wife was interviewed and she was totally the opposite of the FLDS women we've seen in Arizona, Utah, and Texas. The wife wore jeans and her hair was shorter, pulled into a pony tail. But in the background you could see FLDS women in the pioneer dresses and typical hairstyles. There were a lot of children running around, but I didn't see any other adult men. It was obviously a propaganda piece for the FLDs.
From what I've read, Warren Jeffs was in control of the British Columbia community, with Winston Blackmore as leader of the community. There was a split between Blackmore and Jeffs, and Blackmore's followers are divided - some loyal to Jeffs, some loyal to him.
With the announcement that some Canadian children were among those removed from the YFZ ranch in Texas, a Canadian official was quoted as saying that they would be watching this closely as it may give cause to look into the Canadian FLDS.
I think the big unknown is Mexico. We've heard there's an FLDS community there, but there's been very little information about it.
