Protest Around The World: Germany, Spain, Hawaii and New Zealand

#Dec7Protest
This week, I continue my journey to countries participating in the global protest against family splitting childcare policies. 
This time we will visit Germany, Spain, Hawaii and New Zealand.  Just before I go to the specific countries, I would like to write a little about a topic that I have thought about and that is related to the rest.  It is about the relationship between Norway and the United States.
A few years ago in 2015, there was a big case about Norway's childcare.  The Norwegian authorities had forcibly removed five children from a Norwegian resident Romanian family.  The family was called Bodnariu and the case was called Bodnariu-case. The Norwegian authorities claimed that the family had used physical punishment on the children.

However, it quickly became apparent that there was no evidence of that claim and it was said that it was because the family believed in a punishing god, that is, in fact, the fact that they were Christians. 

The forced removal of the five children of the Bodnariu family led to protests worldwide.  First of all, the Romanian people protested in Romania and in many other countries and protests and condemnations came from the governments of several countries.

It was pretty massive and it ended up that Norway gave the children back to the family.

Less than a year ago, I heard for the first time that the Norwegian authorities had forcibly removed children from American families living in Norway, on thin and unreasonable resonans, just as in the Bodnariu case.  When I heard about this I thought.  "That's the most stupid thing that Norway could do".

Of course, the US superpower would not accept that Norway took children of US citizens on an unreasonable basis.  If Romania had protested then the US would protest even more.

This could only go wrong for Norway, I thought.

The strange thing was that America did nothing.  There was no comment, no protest, no condemnation, no official government statements.

It was a mystery to me at the time why Romania was defending its nationals, but the United States did not.

Since then I have come to understand the reason for this better.  There are very close ties between Norway and the United States.  Some even call Norway the 51st state of America.

The methods Norway uses in childcare are also used in the United States.

Childcare has become a means of controlling the population.

The United States is not interested in a settlement with these methods.  In the present circumstances, the United States is not particularly concerned about the rights of its own citizens, whether at home or in other countries.

Norway is free to intervene in the lives of American families and it even seems that the US authorities support the decisions of the Norwegian authorities.


The Journey Continues
Germany

We start the tour in Germany.

German child care resistance groups are not easily found online.  This could mean that the problem is not as big in Germany as it is in other countries.  It was also my first impression that Germany had a slightly more decent childcare system than Denmark and Norway.  However, there are a few members from Germany in the global group and as I talked to them I could hear that Germany had exactly the same child care problems as we had.

Forced removal had become a form of sanction against citizens and it had become a very profitable business for a small group of people.

I especially noticed that the German members of the international group described the exact same situation regarding the judicial situation that we experience here at home and that we have seen in Norway.

The German courts judge according to their own tastes and pleasures and there is no kind of justice other than maintaining objective criteria.

On September 7, 2019, a small group of people in Germany's capital Berlin demonstrated.  Here are some pictures from the demonstration in Germany.
  

Spain


In fact, I don't know much about childcare in Spain. There is a particular reason for Spain to take part in the global protest against family-splitting childcare.

It is a very perticular group of people who protest in Spain and their protest targets Norway specifically.  

It is a very specific group of people who protest in Spain and their protest targets Norway specifically.  This is a group of Spanish sailors who worked for the Norwegian Navy in the years 1948 - 1994. They worked for a long time and paid taxes, yet Norway does not believe that these people are entitled to pension from Norway.  Human rights lawyer Marius Reikerås has helped these ex-sailors bring their case to the European Court of Human Rights.  That is why these strong ex-sailors are now joining the fight against the Norwegian child welfare human rights violations.

Acclaimed Norwegian human rights lawyer Marius Reikerås has helped these sailors bring their case to the European Court of Human Rights.  That is why these strong ex- sailors are now joining the fight against the Norwegian child protections human rights violations.

Hawaii
Hawaii does not surprisingly experience the same child care issues as we have seen in so many places.  In particular, there is a specific adoption agency called Bethany Christian services, which is charged with unjustly forcing many children to adopt under the pretext of taking care of the child's best interests.

Hawaii has a small, but strong group of activists who regularly protest.  People who have had their children removed themselves.

Here are pictures from their September 7, 2019 protest


New Zealand
What is it about small wellfunctioning democracies that have gone so wrong?  New Zealand is known as a small wellfunctioning democratic country a bit like Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.  People care for each other and for nature and human rigths is held high.

In New Zealand we experience exactly the same picture as we experience here in the north.  Child protection has gotten out of control.  It has become a means used for everything but helping children in need.  We see a justice system that is completely corrupt and persecutes the people who criticize the system, with fines, imprisonment and the like.  There is a high proportion of suicides due to child care intervention in families.  In particular, the indigenous New Zealand population is exposed to this type of intervention in their family life.

New Zealand has been very skilled at shaping resistance movement and protesting.  Their demonstration on September 7 had several hundred, if not a thousand participants, and it took place in several New Zealand cities.

Here are pictures from the protest in New Zealand September 7, 2019.


Here is a recent video produced by the strong New Zealand resistance movement.  In this video, New Zealand activists interview the Norwegian human rights lawyer Marius Reikerås.
