European Union funds ABA’s Death Penalty Moratorium Project, and “Kentucky’s Death Penalty Assessment Team.”
As usual, just FOLLOW THE MONEY and you’ll discover the real agenda of the European Union and their accomplice in America, the American Bar Association (ABA). It’s nothing more than a poorly disguised, backdoor attempt to abolish the death penalty in Kentucky.
The American Bar Association’s “Death Penalty Moratorium Implementation Project,” based in Washington, D.C., is being funded by a grant from the European Union which is “strongly opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances.”
Now the ABA has created a “Kentucky Death Penalty Assessment Team,” also funded by that same grant from the European Union.
What is this all about?
What are the European Union and ABA trying to do?
Just a little investigation revealed some interesting answers.
| 1. | ABA’s Death Penalty Moratorium Implementation Project is funded by a Grant from the Anti-Death Penalty, European Union. |
| A call to Director of the ABA Project, Sarah Turberville, revealed that the ABA had accepted a grant from the European Union (the European Union “strongly opposes the death penalty in all circumstances”) to study the death penalty in America. | |
| 2. | One Co-Chair of the Kentucky’s “Death Penalty Assessment Team” serves as a “voluntary attorney” for the Kentucky Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. |
| 3. | A few responses from other states in which “Death Penalty Assessment Teams” have been created by the ABA thanks to funding from the European Union: |
| This is all a sham. The ABA supports a moratorium across the board (and then, abolition of course); these “Death Penalty Assessment Teams” are just “cover” for that. | |
| The ABA website states that the “Death Penalty Moratorium Implementation Project” is the “next step” toward a nationwide moratorium on executions. | |
| There was no prosecutorial representation on the “assessment team” in our state. In fact, most of the members were avowed death penalty opponents. | |
| ABA’s entire study was funded by a grant from European death penalty abolitionists. | |
| There were no active prosecutors who were asked to participate; only a former prosecutor who has been a practicing defense attorney for many years. | |
| Their report was a 400-page document which was so voluminous because they simply compiled statutes, word-for word. We can only assume that they made it so large in order to discourage people from reading anything but their summary of the report. That way, they didn’t have to provide support for any of their “findings.” |
It appears that the ABA represents criminal defense lawyers and death penalty opponents, not the citizens of the United States.
What’s with this interference from Europe?
Why don’t these people simply ask the citizens of the states whether they want the death penalty? They are free to introduce legislation to abolish it.
