Elias C. Arnold: Fatal end to exorcism attempt
A 48-year-old Phoenix man whom authorities say was choking his 3-year-old granddaughter during an exorcism early Saturday died after struggling with police officers who went into the home to investigate, Phoenix police said.
Police reportedly found Ronald Marquez, of Phoenix, shirtless and choking his granddaughter as her 19-year-old mother, naked and bloody, looked on. The bloodied girl was gasping and screaming as her mother chanted and held a religious picture of some kind, police said.
“It’s very bizarre, (a) very unusual and pretty horrific situation this young child was involved in,” said Sgt. Joel Tranter, a Phoenix police spokesman. Police responded about 7:30 a.m. to a check-welfare call at a house in the 2200 block of North 28th Street, north of McDowell Road. A relative reported she thought an exorcism was going on at the family home after one was performed two days earlier, police said.
[Article continues at link. The ritual sacrifice of this three-year-old girl occured in the 21st Century, in the United States of America. Be looking long and hard all day long for weeks and weeks on end for a 'not in our name' march to be held, in which Christians all over the USA will formally renounce child sacrifice and 'exorcism.' It won't happen, because the Christians are too busy policing other people's houses to clean their own. Too bad for Marquez that he didn't kill his own granddaughter in Oregon, where child sacrifice is still semi-legal. - Trevor Blake]
Bush Funds, Fights Taliban
Caren Bohan, August 6, 2007, Bush, Karzai hold strategy talks on Afghanistan : “The struggling, six-year effort to rebuild war-ravaged Afghanistan and defuse the threat from Taliban and alQaeda militants hiding over the border in Pakistan will dominate talks this weekend between U.S. President George W. Bush and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. [...] Karzai is grappling with numerous challenges, including suicide bomb attacks by the Taliban, mounting deaths of civilians killed in the cross-fire of fighting between Western forces and militants, and a booming opium trade. Afghanistan supplies around 92 percent of the world’s opium, and the crop has become a source of cash for the Taliban and a corrupting influence in the government.”
Robert Scheer, May 22, 2001, Bush’s Faustian Deal With the Taliban: “Enslave your girls and women, harbor anti-U.S. terrorists, destroy every vestige of civilization in your homeland, and the Bush administration will embrace you. All that matters is that you line up as an ally in the drug war, the only international cause that this nation still takes seriously. That’s the message sent with the recent gift of $43 million to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, the most virulent anti-American violators of human rights in the world today. The gift, announced last Thursday by Secretary of State Colin Powell, in addition to other recent aid, makes the U.S. the main sponsor of the Taliban and rewards that ‘rogue regime’ for declaring that opium growing is against the will of God. So, too, by the Taliban’s estimation, are most human activities, but it’s the ban on drugs that catches this administration’s attention.”

"Mother: Dress Code Unfairly Targets Religion"
The mother of a student who was suspended for violating her school system’s dress code says the rules unfairly target religion, WRTV in Indianapolis reported. Tracy Prochnow said Highland High School in Indiana suspended her daughter, Brittany Brown, on Monday because the junior wore a Christian-themed T-shirt. Monday was the fourth time Brittany violated the code, which the city’s school board implemented this year and requires students to wear khakis and polo shirts. [...] The school’s principal, Mark Finger, said the dress code doesn’t target religious beliefs. “The policy states there are to be no logos or slogans on a shirt,” Finger said. A city council member, Ollie Dixon, said he would work to change the policy. It wasn’t clear what changes he would favor.
