  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: United States Marshall Office March 10, 2006 Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Maranda (619) 557-6620
  
  USMS Headquarters Public Affairs (202) 307-9065 Sexual Predator May Have Inflicted 20 Years of Pain on Young Victims A sexual predator is on the run and his crimes are so heinous that they have earned him a spot on the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted fugitive list. Fugitive Frederick McLean 55, is wanted on multiple counts of sexual assault on a child, but according to Deputy U.S. Marshal Tom Maranda, member of the U.S. Marshal-led San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force, “multiple counts” is an understatement . Maranda explained, one alleged victim, now an adult, reported assaulted her more than 100 times , starting when she was 5 and ending about seven years later. “Investigators believe McClean ’s abusive acts against young victims span over a 20-year period,” said Maranda. “So it is imperative that predators like this be taken off the streets.” An arrest warrant was issued , for McClean , but authorities believe he sensed his days of freedom were numbered almost six months prior. In May 2004, family members confronted regarding a young female victim’s allegations of molestation. McClean admitted they were true, and the victim’s family decided to call Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. After the confrontation, McClean ’s wife and children left him. Between May and September 2004, he began transferring financial assets to his wife and he signed divorce papers. In September 2004, McClean ’s father-in-law woke up one morning to find McClean ’s truck in his driveway. Inside the truck were McClean ’s cell phone, letters for the family, and instructions on how to sell the vehicle. It was evident from his actions that he believed criminal charges against him were looming. McClean is a 55-year-old white male who weighs 170 pounds and is 5 feet, 11 inches tall. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. He is an auto mechanic by trade and once owned a race-car restoration business, specializing in Lola chassis Can-Am racing cars from the 1960s and 1970s. McClean is also an experienced outdoorsman and may frequent camping areas. Authorities caution citizens to consider McClean armed and dangerous, and possibly suicidal. "Dangerous fugitives such as this are given the highest priority by the Marshals Service because of the potential to harm other innocent citizens while they remain at large ," said Robert J. Finan II, head of the Marshals Investigative Services Division. There is a reward for information leading to the arrest of McClean, and all inquiries remain confidential. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact their nearest Marshals Service office, or call the Marshals’ 24 hour phone line at 1-800-336-0102. Marshals are the nation’s primary fugitive hunting organization and capture more federal fugitives each year than all other law enforcement agencies combined.

  ts (of the 'wobbling home on the cobblestone' class)

  Even experienced cyclist will fall sometimes when clipped in. I grew up using toe clips and straps, and got used to loosening the left side when at a stop, just in case I had to put my foot down. With clipless pedals, you just twist your foot out, but I've tipped over at a standstill as recently as a couple years ago, with what, over 25 years experience on a racing bike.

  So I guess you can count on not falling over 99.9% of the time once you get used to them.

  Funny thing about ts's post: I completed my first century when I was 16, and racers I admired gathered around in a circle after finishing and smoked a joint. I guess the high after riding that far is pretty "high". Of course, that was in the 70's also.

  So stick with the clipless pedals, you'll find it's almost intuitive getting out of 'em.

  These are from different movies with the same director:

  "If you can't get in, you don't get in." (hint: Al Pacino starred)

  "Are you going to stay in there the rest of your life?"

  just a brief observation.

  the whole feng shui thing is really going mainstream.

  everywhere everyone is trying to order their world using priciples of the ancient philosophy.

  Where does it all end?
  
  There must be balance.

  
  The End is what Witnesses live for; balance is impossible in such a life.

  Funny how most eastern philosophies seek balance, while the WTS keeps its members imbalanced their whole life. They will quote from science to show why something is wrong and then demean science forthrightly.

  Of course this is all to espouse their own agenda.

  I was hoping that they may have simply viewed it rationally

  ra·tion·al (r
  adj.

  1. Having or exercising the ability to reason.
  2. Of sound mind; sane.
  3. Consistent with or based on reason; logical: rational behavior. See Synonyms at logical.

  rea·son (r
  n.

  1. The capacity for logical, rational, and analytic thought; intelligence.
  2. Good judgment; sound sense.
  3. A normal mental state; sanity

  As you can see from the definitions, the capacity for either of the above conflicts with being a Witness; therefore they are not even a consideration.

  This should not be a surprise, but expected. It is only a surprise if you are doubting their absolute control over you.

  THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

  if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

  have i ever misled you?

  i'll answer that--no!

  "Mr. Anderson, we missed you."

  ...and just as in "The Matrix", this Mr. Anderson has a hard time distinguishing reality from fiction, and is not sure he really wants to know the difference.

  Clinging to programmed responses does not make them genuine, only redundant drivel (is that redundant?).

  I was wondering if anyone knows of any warnings at meetings similar to when Dateline was going to broadcast their exposure of molestation. Perhaps the WTS is preparing warnings to shut the minds of the fleeced flock.

  Maybe they will tell them to stay away from JWD.

  I wanted a chat!

  
  

  
  
  The brain sometimes plays very interesting tricks on its host. That is especially the case when we (unconsciously or subconsciously) want it to do so.
