    Get ready for the next phase of the government’s war on thought crimes: mental health round-ups and involuntary detentions.

  • We Are in Collective Alexithymia

    We Are in Collective Alexithymia

    No words for emotions — alexithymia New psychology research shows maltreatment in childhood is linked to alexithymia in adulthood. Its etymology comes from Ancient Greek.

  • Targeted for Tyranny: We’re All Suspects Under the Government’s Pre-crime Program

    Targeted for Tyranny: We’re All Suspects Under the Government’s Pre-crime Program

    We’re all being targeted now. We’re all guilty until proven innocent now. And thanks to the 24/7 surveillance being carried out by the government’s spy network of fusion centers, we are all now sitting ducks, just waiting to be tagged, flagged, targeted, monitored, manipulated, investigated, interrogated, heckled and generally harassed by agents of the American […]

    Economic Conditions Continue To Worsen For Millions

Below are 30 recent statistics that bear this out. ***** “More than half — 54% — of American millennials and Gen Z are still financially dependent on their parents, according […]

  • Aussie cops paid $1300 to identify as “gender neutral” – Teen girls in UK say NO to “trans” lies – And yes, they ARE coming for your children

    According to this article (sent to me by Allyn in New Zealand), “the number of Victoria Police employees self-identifying as ‘gender neutral’ has more than quadrupled since last year as the force confirms it is investigating reports some of its officers are gaming the HR system in order to gain an extra $1300 a year.” […]

    The last refugee, for now, has left the small, guano-producing state of Nauru.  For a decade, the Pacific Island state served as one of Australia’s offshore prisons for refugees and asylum seekers, a cruel deterrent to those daring to exercise their right to seek asylum via the sea. Since July 2013, 3,127 people making the […]

  • NYC Drag Marchers: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!”

    So… participants in NYC’s June 23 “Drag March” chanted: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!”  (Watch a short clip right here) I get it that, for some of those marchers, this was a tragically failed attempt at “satire” in response to (accurately) being called groomers. For others, it was a legitimate, unabashed […]

    Texas Book Ban Bills Set a Dangerous Precedent for the Narratives of Young People in Education

    Amid an unprecedented wave of censorship, many of our state legislators have left no mercy for LGBTQ+ Texans. Censorious legislation like House Bill 900 and Senate Bill 13 attempt to relate queer identity with sexual obscenity. The bills target educators’ expertise and diminish students’ right to read in a vitriolic attack on queer identity, and […]
