Such an egregious assault against a human being represents the low point of a medical-religious conspiracy that has been carried out since the days of Ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are uninitiated in this very serious matter, the following two articles provide an excellent starting point. \u00a0Each post describes with utter clarity what actually occurs during and after the circumcision process. \u00a0Reader beware\u2014it\u2019s not a pretty picture!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehealthcoach1.com\/?p=489\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/thehealthcoach1.com\/?p=489\">Circumcision: Male Genital Mutilation \u2013 Part I<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehealthcoach1.com\/?p=1387\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/thehealthcoach1.com\/?p=1387\">Circumcision: Male Genital Mutilation \u2013 Part II<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When the two preceding expos\u00e9s are correctly understood, it ought to be crystal clear that the now routine practice of circumcision is patently criminal, as in felonious assault by way of genital mutilation. \u00a0Such a crime against the most defenseless and powerless among us ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and yet it is condoned by the ignorant medical profession and misguided religious communities. \u00a0Both of them are co-dependents and mutual enablers in this multi-millenial crime spree that never seems to end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/themillenniumreport.com\/2016\/05\/circumcision-is-a-crime\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/themillenniumreport.com\/2016\/05\/circumcision-is-a-crime\/\">Circumcision Is A Crime<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whereas the physicians and hospitals make LOTs of money, the religious institutions use circumcision to commence their pattern of control over the lives of the new young members of their congregations. \u00a0That the infant victim had absolutely no say whatsoever over their involuntary genital mutilation seems to have no bearing on the matter. \u00a0Until now, that is.<\/p>\n<p>There is now a sea change occurring under the radar and across the planet with regard to this quite inhumane and extremely painful surgical process. \u00a0Those who now advocate for radical change fully understand those forces which have usurped the personal sovereignty of countless\u00a0males born into several\u00a0Western nations. \u00a0That illicit usurpation of an infant\u2019s sovereignty will no longer be tolerated, as the nation of Germany has now indicated with the judge\u2019s ruling outlined below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/themillenniumreport.com\/2016\/05\/circumcision-male-genital-mutilation-finally-ruled-against-in-a-western-nation\/\">The Millennium Report<\/a><br \/>\nMay 2, 2016<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<h2>German court rules circumcision is &#8216;bodily harm&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>BBC<\/p>\n<div class=\"story-body\">\n<div class=\"story-body__inner\">\n<figure class=\"media-landscape has-caption body-narrow-width lead\">\n<div style=\"width: 314px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"js-image-replace\" src=\"http:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/304\/media\/images\/61188000\/jpg\/_61188590_scalpel.jpg\" alt=\"Scalpel\" width=\"304\" height=\"171\" data-highest-encountered-width=\"304\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image caption: Male circumcision is part of both Jewish and Muslim religious rituals<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\">A court in Germany has ruled that circumcising young boys for religious reasons amounts to bodily harm.<\/p>\n<p>In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child&#8217;s right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights.<\/p>\n<p>The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year.<\/p>\n<p>Although male circumcision &#8211;
