Macron's 'never' lasted 48 hours. Palestine condemned Iran. Hamas is 'considering' disarmament. Zelensky raced to Mar-a-Lago. And nobody is connecting the dots— because it would make Trump look good.
Molly Englehart is one of the most perceptive, balance people I know writing today. One of her latest, copy and pasted for those who find it paywalled.
Commentary
In high school, I had a tight-knit group of friends. Like in many teen circles, what one of us did had a way of spreading to the rest. It was a kind of social contagion. We influenced each other in everything, from how we dressed to what we thought was cool. We experimented with drugs, pushed boundaries, and even losing our virginity at a fairly young age became part of that same shared culture.
But one of the most powerful contagions among us was eating disorders.
For a period of my life, I lived on Diet Snapple—peach flavored—and little else. If I ate, I felt guilty. Sometimes I would throw up. Sometimes I would take laxatives. I became progressively thinner. Whether that met the clinical definition of an eating disorder feels almost beside the point. I was engaging in behaviors that harmed my body, driven by a distorted perception of myself.
As a teenage girl, my body was changing quickly. Between the ages of 11 and 16, a young woman’s body transforms in ways that can feel sudden and disorienting. Hips widen, breasts develop, and the softness of childhood gives way to the curves of womanhood. It can feel like your body is no longer your own.
I remember looking in the mirror and seeing someone chubby and unattractive. I was convinced I was the ugly one in my group of friends. Looking back now at photographs, I see something entirely different. I was slender, healthy, and beautiful. What I experienced was, at least in part, body dysmorphia.
Now imagine something different. Imagine that the adults in my life, my parents, my doctors, my teachers, had affirmed my distorted perception. Imagine if they had said, “You’re right. You are fat. Let’s fix it.” Imagine if they had helped me get diet pills, encouraged stricter restriction, or supported the very behaviors that were harming me. Imagine if doctors, by law or cultural pressure, were required to affirm my belief that something was wrong with my body and offer medical interventions to correct it.
That would have been unthinkable.
The adults in my life did not affirm my delusion. They challenged it. Sometimes imperfectly, sometimes inconsistently, but they understood something fundamental: teenagers do not always see themselves clearly, and it is the responsibility of adults to act as guardrails.
Years later, when I was in college, another social contagion emerged: cutting. There were families close to mine dealing with children who were harming themselves. It was heartbreaking to witness. Now imagine if the adults in those situations had responded by affirming the behavior. Imagine saying to a child, “You are in pain, and the best way to deal with that pain is to hurt yourself. Let me help you do it safely.” No responsible adult would encourage that. We understand instinctively that pain expressed in self-destruction is not something to validate but something to guide a child through.
Today, we face another form of teenage distress, one that has spread rapidly in recent years. Surveys suggest that a growing number of teenagers identify as transgender or experience significant distress about their bodies, with the increase being especially sharp among teenage girls.
That does not surprise me. I was once a teenage girl in a tight-knit group of friends, confused about my body and willing to harm myself because of a distorted perception of it. When that kind of confusion takes hold in a close social circle, it can spread quickly. Teenage girls, searching for identity and belonging, can become especially vulnerable to ideas that offer an explanation for their discomfort, even when those ideas lead them further away from the truth of their own bodies.
Adolescence has always been a time of confusion. Teenagers are searching for identity, meaning, and belonging while their bodies and emotions shift beneath them. That instability is not new. What is new is how adults are responding to it.
Today, when a teenager says, “I feel like I am in the wrong body,” many adults feel compelled to affirm that belief immediately. In some cases, that affirmation extends beyond words into medical interventions that can carry lifelong consequences. I can understand the feeling of being alien in your own body. I lived it. Going from a slight, childlike frame to a woman’s body felt overwhelming. At times, it felt excessive, even wrong.
But my body was not wrong. My perception was.
The adults in my life, however imperfectly, understood that their role was not to validate every feeling I had, but to help guide me through them. They did not treat a temporary distortion as a permanent truth. They did not offer me permanent solutions to what was, in hindsight, a passing and developmental struggle.
That is what I struggle to understand today. Where are the adults in the room?
Where are the voices willing to say, with compassion and clarity, that feelings are not always facts, that confusion does not require immediate affirmation, and that the body is not the enemy? Where are the parents, teachers, and doctors willing to stand in the tension between empathy and responsibility?
We have seen social contagions before. We have watched behaviors spread among vulnerable teenagers, reinforced by peer groups, culture, and the media. The details change, but the pattern remains. Teenagers look to one another for cues on how to interpret their discomfort, and when a narrative takes hold, it can shape real behavior in powerful ways.
The role of adults is not to mirror that confusion back to them. It is to anchor them through it.
Compassion does not mean affirming every belief a child expresses. Sometimes compassion requires restraint. Sometimes it requires saying no. Sometimes it requires the courage to stand against cultural momentum to protect a child from making permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.
I am grateful that the adults in my life did not hand me diet pills or encourage my self-destructive habits. I am grateful they did not medicalize a distorted perception of my body. Because if they had, I might have made permanent decisions based on a temporary state of mind.
That is the question we must ask ourselves now. Are we protecting our children, or are we affirming them into consequences they are too young to fully understand?
a social contagion influenced by immature adults acting as teachers. A friend's son was in a private school and, for whatever reason, put him in a public school for middle school. Within 8 months he has been indoctrinated believing a friend is a them because the friends said so and words trump reality.
Because of moral relatism, a warped so called truth, the truth is no longer absolute. Emotion has become the new authority. Conviction replaced by comfort.
Yep, same thing happened to a former neighbor's only son. Of course, she let the kid sleep with her [hubby on the sofa] until he was 8yrs old. The kid was scared to go to the bathroom and would hold it in. Mom was afraid he would be bi-polar like she was. Pulled him out of a private school because they were more free-spirited hippy pot smoking types and moved to Belize for a time, then back to the states and off to a large public school he goes. No doubt the kid is smart, but at age 15 the Mom declares that he is gay and it was in his heart. Not the environment he was living in. Few years later I was told he declared himself non-binary. He's 20 now going to a very liberal small college in Asheville NC. Sad
Nihilism is the Lefts religion. That's their ideology.
The worst tyranny is enforcing an artificial morality in the name of fairness so that protected people can avoid natural consequences.
A society that loses obiective truth becomes ungovernable by consent. prone to manipulation, brittle under pressure, and - historically - at high risk of either splintering into warring factions or being recentralized under authoritarian control that imposes a single enforced "truth."
There are multiple impediments to becoming an adult in the Western culture and it’s been that way for several decades. Remember the ‘I don’t wanna grow up; I’m a Toy’s R Us’ kid? That and like messaging has created perpetual adolescence for too many. It’s a huge challenge for the future as we are tested by the warriors of third world countries.
It is some sort of weird mal-intent. I have noticed a desire for drama and conflict in women, basically forever. Men too, of course. But for men it comes out as anger and fighting. And usually fairly instant. Women provoke as a strategy. Society is soft and safe. Many women want drama. What better way than to import racists? Forcing their men to fight. Of course they don’t see themselves at risk. If they did they wouldn’t do it. They are shocked when it is turned on them.
Many empathetic people I know seem to run more on feelings than logic, and their feelings are susceptible to whatever the latest thing is, which can lead to evil actions through their deluded views.
One thing I’d like to callout is the engineering that occurred regarding this transgender piece becuase it is not a natural movement but one engineered from media, social media, and technology.
In my article on “democrats are destroying society,” I quote the following:
“In the last decade, media representation of LGBTQ+ identities has dramatically increased. A study from GLAAD’s 2022 Studio Responsibility Index found that 12% of major studio films now feature LGBTQ+ characters, a significant increase from 1% a decade ago3. [That is a 1,100% increase — a data point that we should be mindful of.]”
I have seen multiple commercials lately that feature transgender guys (biological males). They are trying to sell transgenderism harder than the product they are supposedly advertising. I wish there was a button to express my disapproval.
There is that catchy Coca-Cola commercial from Christmas 1971 where they were pushing "multiculturalism" in the same way. Trying to instill a mindset in viewers.
Former PM Troodo of Canada and his WEF/Rhodes Scholars team of the Kielburger brothers used this tactic on thousands of schoolchildren who were told they were being rewarded with a musical show for having displayed good behaviour.. That show was about indoctrinating them to vote for the Troodo political party when they came of age.
They are in almost everything made in Britain film on Netflix and prime now. No entertainment is without the transgender chic element. Better dressed and coiffed than the everydays we see here at the demonstrations, of course. They are almost always the sympathetic pal or work mate holding the rest of the spinning out of control group together.
Same. For most I couldn’t continue to enjoy it. There were just a few that I was able to get past it because after the one initial exposure, which was very subtle, they were nothing more than a set decoration for the plot. We fast forward through ALL scenes with those characters and what do you know, the plot doesn’t fall apart and we miss nothing. Lol. But when it’s in your face every episode afterwards I won’t watch it. And too many times to count the initial exposure was so over-the-top, shoved in my face I refused to watch another minute. (That’s why I never continued to watch Game of Thrones.) It was simply gratuitous. I’m not THAT starved for entertainment. I’d rather read a good book, like Project Hail Mary!
(Yes as always I bet the book is better than the movie. The Martian was phenomenal, but the book was 100x better if you can imagine that’s possible - it is! So you CAN enjoy both and you’ll get a slightly different experience with the book - more literal LOLs. My husband and I eagerly read Project Hail Mary when it came out. I’m glad it’s been a while since we read it because that means we will still enjoy the movie a lot. But he is an incredible writer and the books for both movies should not be passed over.)
Gender Dysphoria is the biological result of the deliberate estrogenation of American males.
As any good rancher will tell you, you can't have too many bulls in the herd. So when the Evil ended the soldier breeding program in America in the '70s, they began introducing estrogenic foods like soy and corn, and synthetic hormones into the meat, poultry and plastics. And infants went from milk-based formula to soy. This overload of estrogenic hormones disrupts the developing reproductive system, so children who grew up on them, as adults will have altered reproductive systems.
Those reproductively altered male children grew up and mated with reproductively altered females and produced offspring that are so reproductively screwed up they don't even know what sex they are.
That's why we call Gender Dysphoria/Transgender the 'Happy Meal Syndrome'.
And that's why now when we need them, our soldier-age males don't know whether to pick up a gun or a bottle of nail polish.
And our older males wonder why they can't get it up.
If you have been eating estrogenated foods and drinking from plastic, or you have children who have, I say DETOX! Detox all those chemical hormones out of your body, ASAP!
I don't know if it's deliberate or if it's just business as usual. Corporations exist to make money and cheap corn and soy allow them to make more money. Plastics are everywhere because they are cheap to make. Adding hormones to meats fattens up the animals quickly. It's about profit. I doubt they care if they are feminizing men or creating cancers. If it's legal and profitable, they do it. I would also include pesticides to the list. Many are estrogen mimics.
I spoke with a holistic doctor one day at Costco and she said they have put things in the vaccines as children that lower testosterone for males (and females I presume).
I have wondered out loud, when watching movies or tv shows, “where is the LGBT whole alphabet, warning at the beginning of the program?” There are micro aggression warnings for smoking, drug use, nudity, violence; I do not want to watch men kissing men or women with women. Warn me that the adorable 16 year old girl in this show will be in bed with a woman 3 episodes in. I’ve cut the cord to lame brain media, don’t go to “movies” (but I will consider Jeff’s recommendation) and watch old tv shows and movies free on YouTube. I cannot participate in conversations about the latest tv slop, but can reminisce My Favorite Martian, Alfred Hitchcock or One Step Beyond.
I watch old classics on TCM where sanity and truth prevail, and shows like Columbo I’ve seen every episode at least three times. When did it all go berserk? When did decency, truth, and sanity slide to the back burner?
I remember how insulting sitcoms became when most of the fathers were depicted as bumbling morons and the kids were the only intelligent ones in the room. And women were always disgusted with their husbands, rolling their eyes and making snide comments about them not only to others in the show but to the husband’s face. And that drew laughs? It all became insulting and I stopped watching them. I say this as a woman (born female) and now I’m angered with how so many women in real life have become obnoxious loud mouth witches on the streets of America, trashing men, traditional marriage, and having children, but embracing LBGTQ+++, encouraging transgender confusion among young people, and supporting criminal illegals.
I’m disgusted with the obnoxious blowhards of my gender at this point, and I refuse to watch shows that promote this, and turn off news that celebrate these women as heroic champions of this insanity. I think they are a much smaller portion of society than we give credit for but they have the loudest voices and get all the coverage. The squeaky wheel gets all the grease.
We own a collection of dvds of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Whoopi Goldberg is at the very beginning warning about the “offensive” and “insensitive” politically incorrect things to come that were considered ok at the time. I would love for alphabet warnings before shows now. But I’m sure that would be triggering to leftists. Not gonna happen.
A woman said ‘lots of nudity in that series’. I ask my son if that is true. ‘NO! Nude men’s butts only! That’s not nudity. Breasts and women naked is nudity. They should warn us - Warning! Close your eyes. Naked male butt next shot.’
It is indeed social engineering, Frank. For those who know how to do this, and have access to mass media and influential groups, they can make vulnerable persons believe almost anything -- whether it is within the realm of reality or not.
yes, and even in credit card mailed advertisements, websites to get you to sign up for, or each statement you look at the openers are woke, left, gays, etc. they are so hard after that next business, the next dollar, to appeal to a small minority, but I guess also to make regular people feel guilty if they don't "partake".
The nine most dangerous words you can tell a confused child:
"In order to be yourself, you must change yourself".
The 10 most dangerous words you can tell a confused child:
"genitals don't determine gender but cutting them off changes it"
Sorry folks, you can't change puberty.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 warns us about this.
"A time will come when people will reject sound, truthful doctrine, choosing instead to follow their own desires. They will seek out teachers who tell them what they want to hear ("itching ears"), turning away from the truth to embrace myths and fables."
Isn't it amazing how almost everything we talk about has been foretold in the Bible?
I saw a clip yesterday of a university professor, saying that she is a lesbian and has had several girlfriends with penises. 😳 Soo your saying your straight but want to share clothes with your boyfriend. ??
Deuteronomy 22:5 states, "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God"
Its why they're swapping objective evidence and reason for sacred utopian ideologies that can't be questioned. Disagree and you're not wrong - you're evil. That's nihilism in a suit. Explains everything wrong with the West right now
100% on target, I remember my body changing too, lol. I look back at pictures and think I was beautiful and slender, not ugly and fat. Perception clarity comes with age, at least it did for me, and sometimes I am still wrong. lol Great article. thank you for sharing.
I noted some time ago that pictures of me that I thought were awful started looking pretty good five years later. Ten years later I can really appreciate how good I looked.😜
Well expressed commentary, Molly Englehart! I worked in eating disorders and seeing these young folks destroying their bodies by dieting and cutting, (both were treated in our clinic) was disturbing to say the least. "The role of adults is not to mirror that confusion back to them. It is to anchor them through it." Perception is that youngsters' reality, even though it is distorted. "But my body was not wrong. My perception was." you nailed this! The fear of transitioning youngsters is another form of dysphoria and needs to be addressed, not give them the tools to permanently mutilate themselves with pills and surgery!
I worked in public education and I’ve always thought it was interesting that I became aware of the growing phenomenon of ‘cutting’ amongst adolescents soon after the very popular movie ‘Dances With Wolves’ came out.
I was also a "Tom Boy" but I didn't want to be a boy, I just wanted to be accepted by them and to be "one of the gang". I always got along with males better than females and enjoyed their company and interests more. One of my first jobs was me and 300 men... I didn't realize it would be that way until I walked in my first day. It was a little bumpy (before the feminists got an attitude) but I lived and learned.
I recommend reading the classic Attachment Theory by John Bowlby, and then realizing that the Attachment System can be hacked. Which is what we are seeing in these bizarre new psychological phenomena.
I had training for therapeutic foster care a couple of decades ago. We were told that infants need one consistent caregiver for about two years in order for the Attachment System to properly develop. If it doesn’t there will be abandonment and trust issues for a lifetime.
My ex-husband and I both experienced some separation from our mothers for an extended period during that timeframe.
He was left with a babysitter for a few weeks, while his mother traveled with his dad. My mother spent several weeks in a hospital in a distant city and from what I can gather, I probably only had one short visit during that time. I was passed around to family and friends.
Otherwise we were certainly adequately cared for. Both of us only know what was told to us, and we made it almost 30 years, but I believe it contributed to the divorce and the trust bonds were always weak.
I do have a heart for today’s ravaged youth. As my mother used to say about some sad situations, “They never stood a chance😢”
We’ve got to get God back into people’s lives! I don’t think we can begin to handle this level of harm on our own.
Thanks for that, WS. I am very much aware of Therapeutic Parenting. Through the work of Danel Hughes and his wonderful PACE Program, and also Sarah Naish and her books.
The newest application of Therapeutic Parenting is being advocated by British Psychotherapist and expert on "Parental Alienation" -- Karen Woodall of the Family Separation Clinic in London. She has an excellent website, and does some marvelous work with both the rejected parents and the alienated children (the more severe cases behave very much like children with Reactive Attachment Disorder). Because this is not a high-conflict divorce issue, as some people insist.... it is an issue of Attachment Disorder -- first in the alienating parent, and then in the dependent children as a form of familial Stockholm Syndrome. Or bonding-to-the-abuser as a last-ditch attempt to stay safe through fawning. Built into our brains by evolution
Even adults with Attachment Disorder can use Mentalizing (Fonagy/Bateman) to heal.
This piece should be printed out and handed to every single "adult" who advocates for child mutilation. I can't see how they could contest any point she has made.
"Educational" programs in media or schools that attempted to warn teens about the dangers of eating disorders or cutting actually ended up introducing these concepts to so many kids who would otherwise never had encountered them at that fragile time in their lives. I know of such people who would agree that this is true for them.
The transgender phenomenon is even worse for three reasons:
The info is everywhere, easily accessible by the internet in a way not common a couple of decades ago.
The issue is framed as an identity, not just an action one took to fit into a societal ideal or relieve stress.
As was mentioned, it is affirmed by the adults who should be helping the teens work through their distress and find ways to successfully handle teen angst.
While I appreciate your sharing this, I have to question how this fits with Iran, the Middle East, and our feckless media. IMHO you are hijacking this wonderful missive from Jeff and need to ***start your own substack.*** Just saying...
There are more than 25 replies TO YOU. I came here to read Jeff's commentary!!!
There are currently 129 likes on this posts, and multiple comments from people thanking me. If you recall, Jeff has posted multiple times about the entire gender idiocy and danger. That he did not today should not preclude posting it now. If you wish to reply to my reply, please do so on Sunday .
I take issue when a parent says their child is their best friend. When you are an adult maybe it's different slightly. If the child says the same thing not good either.
Thank you. The exact progression I heard a therapist talk about on Victor Davis Hanson’s podcast. https://youtu.be/7Htl5AaWzv0?si=2Vxdub-GfgeS3sC1 Chillingly accurate. I was a bulimic soon after I was married and left the house at 18. Then surrounded by thin, tanned young well dressed college girls and Twiggy on every magazine cover, while I worked and put hubby through college who had a thin thing himself. 5 dollars bags of groceries were all we could afford and no new clothes. The eating thing stayed around in some form for 12 years. By the 80s I heard of cutting and other self harming. I think my daughter escaped this but surely she was aware of my food issues. Sadly, her daughter did not. Now a 20 yr old transgender man.
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all word and all knowledge, even as the witness about Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, beyond reproach in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
This is the answer to Roland's post about teen dysphoria. Due to a complete lack of a Biblical worldview in either the culture or the parents of the teen, the child has no paradigm to follow to affirm her (or his) self-worth... a self-worth that can only be found in the fact that she was created by God in His image. The teen is therefore wide open for satanic lies that tell her she has no value. Subsequent actions are simply the logical outcomes of self-destruction.
This whole problem did not exist in my childhood but I am 75 years old and the elders, if not the culture, of my day were almost to a man, Christian. This is how far our culture has fallen.
re: "The story “three days after refusing, 22 nations sign up” practically writes itself."
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning... smells like... victory!" Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now as portrayed by the Iconic Robert Duvall Also memorable "Charlie Dont Surf!!"
Absolutely, in every role he every played. His LTC Kilgore was magnificent, I worked with guys like him in the Infantry, fearless, funny, lethal motherfuckers. As good as he was in "Apocalypse Now", "Open Range" was probably his best, was a great movie.
Open Range is one of my very favorite westerns. Right up there with Dances with Wolves. I loved Duvall. He was also fantastic as Captain Augustus "Gus" McCrae in Lonesome Dove. The first time I watched it I thought I would watch it in three parts as it was made for television. I started at 10pm and watched the entire six hours and went to bed at 4am. One hell of a character actor. I would have loved to have had pint or two with him.
I haven't seen Lonesome Dove, I will need to check it out. Dances with Wolves was tremendous, Duvall's sidekick (in Open Range) Costner was tremendously good!
A must see in my opinion. Tommy Lee Jones, a young Diane Lane, Chris Cooper,Danny Glover, Anjelica Huston, Steve Buscemi, just to name a few of the cast. Star studded is an understatement. I have read the book as well. Larry McMurtry is a fantastic writer and story teller.
re: "But when Israel and America bombed Iran —killed the Supreme Leader, destroyed nuclear facilities, and launched a full-scale air campaign— the PA’s official response was: Iran is the problem. They are basically saying, go ahead."
You don't think maybe the PA was coerced in many ways over the years/decades to bow to the mullahs - I'm not saying the PA wasn't a bunch of thugs - but sometimes you have to go to the dance with the scum bag who is paying the bills?
Now that they are gone, and they see Trump is dead serious about bringing peace and prosperity to ALL of the ME, they are getting on board the Trump Train?
The EU nations "standing up to Trump"? Nonsense, they have been forced to admit they screwed themselves with their energy infrastructure and continue to waste resources on the failed regime in Ukraine. Trump is putting them in their place. But the deep state media won't say that.
Why aren't we shown the protests in France and Germany against these installed leaders, Macron, Merz and Starmer?
It seems the EU (the Globalists) and the Iran Terror regime only respond when they are bullied into submission. An enhanced version of Peace through Strength.
That has everything to do with Iran (and rest of Middle East/Islam) world view. Power and force is the only true mechanism effective for them. Think back and tell me when we in the west had an enduring change by negotiations with any Mid East country! For that matter, think when we had an enduring change with anyone that didn't involve application or removal of force. Germany & japan in ww2, unlmited surrender. Korea & viet Nam force withdrawn. Afganistan, Iraq force withdrawn.
I support Trump because right now, Trump is the one great hope against the British Network of Globalists and their destruction of the West.
Who/what is the British Network?
In case you have not come across this information, the Globalist movement is run by the British Network that has operated out of the City of London for eons. Probably since Londinium was first founded out of the scraps of the falling Roman Empire.
This British Network includes the City of London financial district, the think-tank known as Chatham House, the Rhodes Trust (Rhodes Scholars), the Tavistock Institute (psychological warfare), the London School of Economics, and several colleges at Oxford/Cambridge. Harvard in the US is the American equivalent. Also the NYT and Washington Post. The Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations too. Many other institutions. WEF is under the British Network, as is the Bilderberg Group.
Yes, it does. I catch the Promethean Action podcasts when I can. They deal with the political angle of Globalism from the British Network. I deal more with the psychological angles myself. Though these are all tactics meant to meet the same end.
American Harvard-trained historian Carroll Quigley wrote at length and published about the British Network and the American colluders, back in 1949-1966. Not that he was against them, because this was his own Harvard circle. But as an historian, he wanted this documented.
There are several other reliable sources of information too. Matthew Ehret of the Canadian Patriot website, and authors Richard Poe, Mark Curtis, and Daniel Estulin are a few. See also the TOOLKIT of the Promethean Action site.
It began with William of Orange, the Dutch king installed by the Amsterdam branch of Rothchilds creating the Bank of England. Still in charge through Zionism.
Amsterdam and the Dutch East India Company were indeed involved at one point in history. Though I maintain that it began with the wealthy powerful (and psychopathic) families of Rome and Venice who were seeking a new power-base at the fall of the Roman Empire.
Well, those family lines have not died out, and their Cluster-B personality disorders are transgenerational. Unless there is a brave family curse-breaker, this will continue.
I also want to clarify a few things I said. I said the democrats have scheduled a special election April 21 to allow them to change the Virginia consitution to redistrict mid cycle. As I mentioned, this was voted down in 2020 in 133 out of 134 counties, but they are pulling out all the stops now. $25 million of out of state money, and Soros just said he is adding another $5 million. I watched a lot of March Madness this weekend, and virtually every game had multiple ads featuring Obama saying "we deserve 5 more seats and need to restore fairness in elections". I said 4 more seats yesterday. Seems they want to now gerrymander to steal all 11 seats.
C&C has done multipliers before for individual candidates. There are 5 Republican House seats at stake in this one election. I also said this is just to change the constution and vote in a referendum in November. I know think I erred, and if this passes, and the Virginia Supreme Court does not strike it down, they will redistrict before the November elections.
Virginia has the second earliest early voting in the country, 45 days, so time is of the essence.
This is existential for Virginians, but dire for everyone else who does not want to see 5 House seats flipped next month. Thanks for your time.
Mr Jeff, you are the Wordsmith! I LOVE “trad-media”!! So much better than “mainstream”, because they are not, anymore. Of course they only report good or positive things about PRESIDENT TRUMP when forced to. (Not the same thing, but it does remind me of the Scripture that assures us EVERY knee will someday bow to the Lord Jesus Christ, whether willingly or not). Philippians 2:9-11
Q: “I wonder when we'll have the 1st female Secretary of War.”

--- In other news, this ESPN headline (03/22/26):
“Jets paying combined $48M for Rodgers, Field Not To Be Their QB in 2026.”
This is worse than the Minnesota Day Care Centers that were paid over a billion dollars not to be teaching any children!
Just getting in touch with my inner muckraker this morning. Had to go back a bit. Just a messenger. Put your arrows back in your quivers.
1967: The treatment of the Palestinians by the Zionist Jews, finally ignites enough anger in the Arab world for Egypt, Jordan and Syria to mobilise on Israel's borders. All of these three countries are suddenly attacked by Israel and as a result the Sinai which included Gaza was stolen from Egypt, and the West Bank and the Jordan River stolen from Jordan.
As a result of this, on June 8, the Israelis launch an attack on the USS Liberty with Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats, in an effort to blame it on Egypt, to bring America into the war on their side, and of course follow to the letter, their Mossad motto,
"By Way Of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War." also ("For by stratagems you wage war.")
As a result of their attack, 34 American servicemen were killed and 174 wounded. Israel lies as usual, claiming it mistook this warship that was flying a large United States flag, for an ancient out-of- service Egyptian horse carrier El Quseir, that was 180 feet shorter. They also claim the ship was in the war zone, when it was actually in international waters, far from any fighting. The Israeli's attack on this warship lasts for 75 minutes during which time they shoot up one of the United States flags, resulting in the sailors desperately raising another one.
In the aftermath of this attack, the American sailors who survived are warned by the United States military not to discuss the matter with anyone due to, "national security." This story gets no prominence in the Rothschild controlled mainstream media and as usual Israel is in no way even rebuked for their crimes by their subservient country of America.
To tie it altogether: Frederic Morton publishes his book, The Rothschilds, in which he states,
"Though they control scores of industrial, commercial, mining and tourist corporations, not one bears the name Rothschild. Being private partnerships, the family houses never need to, and never do, publish a single public balance sheet, or any other report of their financial condition." This attitude reveals the true aim of the Rothschilds, to eliminate all competition and create their own worldwide monopoly. 1963: On June 4th President John F. Kennedy (the 35th President of the United States 1961 1963) signs Executive Order 11110 which returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Rosthchilds owned Federal Reserve.
Less than 6 months later on November 22nd , president Kennedy is assassinated by the Rothschilds for the same reason as they assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, he wanted to print American money for the American people, as opposed to the benefit of a money grabbing war mongering foreign elite.
This Executive Order 11110, is rescinded by President Lyndon Baines Johnson (the 36th President of the United States 1963 to 1969) on Air Force One from Dallas to Washington, the same day as President Kennedy was assassinated.
According to Promethian Action (YouTube) the British Empire through the City of London controls MI6, the CIA & Mossad. Robert Maxwell was allegedly involved in all three spook networks plus others. The same with Epstein. Who controls the City of London? The Rothschild crime mafia. They also control the Rockefeller crime family. Check out Promethian Action.
I can’t help but wonder how other nations refer to “America” or “Americans” or “[pick a nation] Americans” or the “American government”. Do they perceive and define them according to the Democrat party and all they have done around the world and to our own the past couple decades? Do they assume ALL Americans are as corrupt and hateful as these traitors? Do they assume our government is what this small minority is? Or do they see us according to those of us that stand up against what they do and have done, both here and overseas? Which America do they refer to?
It’s the same with Israel. Which Israel do you refer to and why don’t you make it more clear, simply stating Zionist Jews is not clear given the slur that it has become. I have no doubt there are untrustworthy and corrupt American Jews in power influencing our government, but there are just as many corrupt non-Jewish Americans also. The Israel government has their offensive members just like we do. But that doesn’t make all of Israel the same, or everyone in their government evil. Their corrupt elite joined with our corrupt elite, and have wreaked havoc for years. I think Trump is trying to outplay them both, and intends to reset the game board.
We have to stop with this nonsense of blaming “Israel”. Which Israel? The small corrupt minority? That’s the pot calling the kettle black given our corrupt minority that holds so much power over our own government and media.
The minute the anti-Israel rhetoric starts, the minute it’s clear someone is trying to blame an entire nation for their corrupt leadership, I turn the volume down and walk away. These are not serious or fair arguments at all the way they are presented. They show an ulterior motive that is just as corrupt as those you accuse. Corruption is not a nation of people, it is individuals that need to be rooted out. Trying to divide our countries completely rather than pinpoint the individual offenders is a strategic tactic by enemies of both countries.
Painting with a wide brush on these matters is dangerous and off the mark. Any given people, in most cases, shouldn't be lumped together with an Institution/Hierarchy/Establishment...whatever name you give them.
I think Juju when most complain about a country, most mean the govt of that country, not the everyday civilians trying to make it through the day like the rest of us.
Yes but look at our own government. There are definitely two very different sides to it, at minimum, and not all sides are corrupted. So which do they refer to when speaking of the “American government?”
My point is we can easily see how the corrupt in our own government is just a subset and not reflective of our entire government, but we can’t see that for Israel?
Consider to look at the posters name, as his imagination is great. Usually this crowd comes early in the thread. Apparently they over slept. ( A hangover from the real headlines) Notice how now even the Arab world is, in their fevered imagination, dancing to the Israel tune. Yes, they fail to articulate or rebutt even one aspect of Jeff's article.
Jeff's theory fails to address the true rulers of the World, the llluminati and their City of London, the financial headquarters of the Evil.
Since he's been in office Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Iraq, Venezuela, Somalia, and Syria (killing innocent women, children and civilians).
Do you know what those countries have in common?
They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.
You know who else is NOT on the Rottchild banking system?
Cuba.
Have you seen the videos of the Cuban people desperately begging the World for help? They have no oil. No power, no hospitals, no gas, no food, no transportation. Cubans are in horrible conditions and crisis and begging the World for help.
Why? Because Donald Trump bombed Venezuela, so City of London could install a new regime, and then Trump ordered a blockade to prevent Venezuelan ships from getting oil to Cuba. (Venezuela is one of the largest oil suppliers for Cuba.)
In March '26 Trump declared that Cuba is "going to fall pretty soon".
Yes because he is committing economic genocide on Cuba.
Why?!???
WTF did Cubans do to deserve Trump murdering them???
And what do those countries who suddenly announced support for Trump's Zionist agenda to steal Iran's oil fields have in common?
They are on the Rottchild banking system. And just like Trump and Bibi, they serve City of London.
Who the hell are you?! I simply report on something without taking sides and you start whining. You are exactly what's wrong with social media. Bugger off, welp.
An employee from the Mossad front operation was quoted as saying to an American employee, "Give us twenty years and we'll take over your media and country."
On October 3, 2001(?) Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, makes the following statement to Ashkenazi Jew, Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that....I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
I think the point being made is 'do not be gullible or a Pollyanna about any country or group of people". There are good people and evil people everywhere.
These entities come on here every day to disparage anything or anyone who stands with Jews, with Israel. And to disparage President Donald Trump.
I do not stand for everything the Israeli government DOES, as I will NOT stand with ANYTHING the corrupt DemonicRAT Party stands for or does.
But I do stand with Israel and Israel’s right to exist.
These Muslims and demonicRATS that come on here day after day only come to do one thing. Turn people against a teeny-tiny nation surround by a sea of nation who serve a pedophilic ‘god’.
"The sinking if the USS Liberty, a government intelligence ship, in the 1967 war, exposed the close collaboration with the CIA and Mossad Israel Military Intelligence. The CIA representative at the US Embassy, Tel Aviv, reported to the senior office CIA at McLean, Va. June 7, 1967 that Israel had decided to sink the USS Liberty. The CIA refused to warn the doomed sailors. With President Johnson in the White House at the time were Matilda and Arthur Krim, Johnson's liaison with the Israeli government...."
Eric… Have you read “The General’s Son” by Miko Peled? Anyone herein?
… given the current purposefully propagandized per 6 Zionist billionaire owners of ALL MEDIA including Israel media… (and thank God for our Jeff Childers brilliant talented journalist Coffee & Covid!)
I hope you can take the time to watch a Jimmy Dorr podcast with an author that is imho the honest telling of the REAL Palestinian CONFLICT brought to them without recourse in 1947… https://youtu.be/BJHZ8zki6CY?si=Uxw7K6EBJDvKgeOH
I read “The General’s Son” by Miko Peled in 2012… and was called a Nazi by friends who KNOW me for defending his book…nothing has changed, in fact the lies are so escalated with the ignorant believing the well paid for lies, I fear where it’s going…
“There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one.”
—Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
“This is an important book, full of hope and inspiration for a shared destiny between Palestinians and Israelis based on mutual respect and equal rights.”
—Susan Abulhawa, author and political activist
“Matti Peled, the general of the title, was a remarkable personality. An underground fighter, a combat soldier and an architect of the Israeli army that won the Six-day War, he was a militaristic hawk before becoming an outstanding peace activist. The man who pushed the Israeli government into the war turned into one of the most implacable enemies of the occupation that resulted from it. During the twenty years we were close associates in this endeavor, I sometimes wondered how it was for a boy to grow up in the shadow of such a headstrong father. In this candid account, Miko Peled tells us how he followed in the footsteps of the general, from parachutist to fighter for peace, although his beloved 12-year-old niece was killed by suicide bombers. A fascinating story that provides much food for thought.”
—Uri Avnery, veteran Israeli peace activist and former member of Knesset
“Miko Peled has written a fascinating book about his illustrious father—military hero, defiantly independent peace-activist politician, and Ph.D. professor-translator-scholar of Arabic language and literature. But this is in no way a conventional biography of a multi-talented great man. Rather, it is a penetrating, honest analysis of the core beliefs and courageous lives lived by an iconic Jewish leader and his remarkable family. A family that, though part of the national Zionist political-military establishment, have long reached out with empathetic concern for the Palestinians under Israeli occupation control—and who continue to agitate for a just peace acceptable to both Jews and Arabs. That family commitment to reconciliation has been sorely tested but remains unbroken even after a young grand-daughter of the general was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber… Miko is truly inspiring in the telling of his family’s story — and of his own struggles to come to terms with the moral, ethical and intellectual legacy from his father.”
—Landrum Bolling, veteran US peace activist, former president, Earlham College
“This is a brilliantly rendered father and son saga amidst a background that evokes Greek mythology. The father was an Israeli hero in the fight for independence and the subsequent wars that led to Israeli dominance, and a brutal occupation. The father and son difficulties can never escape the bigger picture. This is a story of admiration—and anger.”
—Seymour Hersh, investigative journalist
“Miko did not automatically follow in the footsteps of his remarkable father—a hawkish general turned Arabist and early proponent of a two-state solution in dialogue with the PLO. Instead, we are privileged to accompany the author on his own fascinating internal odyssey—a journey of self-education and cumulative critique of Zionist premises and Israeli practices culminating in poignant advocacy of a unitary binational state anchored in common humanity.”
—Walid Khalidi, general secretary, Institute for Palestine Studies
“The story of Miko Peled, his mother and father, reveals how facts, compassion and a universal sense of justice took hold and inspires this energetic and informed voice for peace.”
—Ralph Nader
“Out of personal pain and sober reflection on the past comes this powerful narrative of transformation, empowerment and commitment. It is the personal story that brings home forcefully how one liberates oneself from oppressive ideologies without losing one’s identity, family and humanity. Miko’s story is a must read for anyone who has not lost hope that one day peace and justice will prevail in Israel and Palestine.”
—Ilan Pappé, Israeli historian, professor of history at the University of Exeter (UK)
“The General’s Son provides a window into a unique view Palestinians need to see. It tells the story of a man and his son whose experience in the Israeli army awakened them to the horrible reality of Israeli occupation. I would strongly recommend it to all Palestinians and to those that sympathise with their quest for freedom and justice.”
—Azzam Tamimi, British Palestinian academic and author of Hamas: The Unwritten Chapters

I have never been a feminist, though I am an educated woman. Why? Because I smelled a rather large rat even as a girl.
Then I grew up and tracked the rat to the doctored "research" of Anthropologist Margaret Mead, who worked decades ago with the Tavistock Institute of London to mind-control the masses. She was responsible for the mass hysteria/mind-control/ implanting of the concepts of the sexual revolution of the 60s/70s, and the feminist movement. Which millions of women fell for.
One of the classes I took at Uni was on Mead. I concluded she was a crazy old twat... but still got a good grade in the class writing bullsh!t papers 😂
Her work was crazy like a fox -- she knew exactly what she was doing. She was not motivated by teaching you about supposed Polynesian sexual morality, but about getting you to believe her fabricated deceits so that YOU would behave this way. And thus assist in destroying Western society.
Where better to implant these lies than in young adult college students?
I totally agree, except I was 40 with 8 kids when I first entered the higher education environment. So I came to the class very jaded 😂 Plus it was an afterthought class I took to finish out my hours.
And before anyone here thinks I have contradicted myself in recommending the Attachment Theory of John Bowlby -- because Dr. Bowlby worked for the Tavistock Institute too -- I am aware of the discrepancy.
Believe me, I have asked myself repeatedly whether John Bowlby developed his Attachment Theory for good or for bad. Or did someone else at the Tavistock hijack it after his death?
Soros will spend his money on destroying America and freedom to his dying day. He has a psychotic hatred of all of us in the West and has said so many times. He always reminds me of that one rotting apple in the bottom of the bag that rots everything else it touches. Real evil incarnate.
So what exactly did all those countries agree to DO? Not their mealy mouthed political nonsense but what did they actually agree to DO about reopening the Strait of Hormuz?
NOTHING. Zero ships. Zero troops. Zero military boots on the ground. ZERO.
And the French military mess halls with the crepes, cannot go to war without crêpes suzette! "It is famous for being flambéed tableside, a dramatic technique that ignites the alcohol, burns off the harshness, and caramelizes the sauce." Well, we beat them to the punch, having flambéed the Iranian navy and caramelized the Ayatollah and his top 100 goat-horny cohorts.
If you were Iranian you may ask the same question, as all they did for that nation was get more of their citizens killed and their nation wrecked. Perhaps a politely worded letter of support is best.
Interesting question, now that all those military age men are there, (with their enslaved women) and their new country of residence doesn't have the will to remove them, will they become a self supporting chaos generating element to Islamify Europe?
Just a note on European gas prices. Our daughter and futures son in law live in Germany (He is German, she is an American Ex-Pat school teacher) and he asked us yesterday how much gas is here. I told him about 3.15 per gallon (Wisconsin) and he said it was 2.50 a litre there. There are 4 litres to a gallon, so if you do the math that is almost $11.00 a GALLON they are paying!! Crazy.
There are two versions of the weights system. The Imperial system and American system.
The US gallon is a wee bit smaller than the Imperial gallon. When New Zealand and Australia changed from the Imperial system to Metrics, and gas was then sold as litres, people felt ripped off because the price adjustment was off. Same with changing from NZ/AU sterling to dollars.
Prices have always been higher in Germany. I went online and compared the price per gallon in the U.S. at the end of December 2025 = $2.98 to the equivalent price per gallon in U.S. dollars in Germany = $8.29. The US saw an average increase of .98 ($3.96) and Germany had an increase of .55 ($8.29) in U.S. dollars.

Commentary
In high school, I had a tight-knit group of friends. Like in many teen circles, what one of us did had a way of spreading to the rest. It was a kind of social contagion. We influenced each other in everything, from how we dressed to what we thought was cool. We experimented with drugs, pushed boundaries, and even losing our virginity at a fairly young age became part of that same shared culture.
But one of the most powerful contagions among us was eating disorders.
For a period of my life, I lived on Diet Snapple—peach flavored—and little else. If I ate, I felt guilty. Sometimes I would throw up. Sometimes I would take laxatives. I became progressively thinner. Whether that met the clinical definition of an eating disorder feels almost beside the point. I was engaging in behaviors that harmed my body, driven by a distorted perception of myself.
As a teenage girl, my body was changing quickly. Between the ages of 11 and 16, a young woman’s body transforms in ways that can feel sudden and disorienting. Hips widen, breasts develop, and the softness of childhood gives way to the curves of womanhood. It can feel like your body is no longer your own.
I remember looking in the mirror and seeing someone chubby and unattractive. I was convinced I was the ugly one in my group of friends. Looking back now at photographs, I see something entirely different. I was slender, healthy, and beautiful. What I experienced was, at least in part, body dysmorphia.
Now imagine something different. Imagine that the adults in my life, my parents, my doctors, my teachers, had affirmed my distorted perception. Imagine if they had said, “You’re right. You are fat. Let’s fix it.” Imagine if they had helped me get diet pills, encouraged stricter restriction, or supported the very behaviors that were harming me. Imagine if doctors, by law or cultural pressure, were required to affirm my belief that something was wrong with my body and offer medical interventions to correct it.
That would have been unthinkable.
The adults in my life did not affirm my delusion. They challenged it. Sometimes imperfectly, sometimes inconsistently, but they understood something fundamental: teenagers do not always see themselves clearly, and it is the responsibility of adults to act as guardrails.
Years later, when I was in college, another social contagion emerged: cutting. There were families close to mine dealing with children who were harming themselves. It was heartbreaking to witness. Now imagine if the adults in those situations had responded by affirming the behavior. Imagine saying to a child, “You are in pain, and the best way to deal with that pain is to hurt yourself. Let me help you do it safely.” No responsible adult would encourage that. We understand instinctively that pain expressed in self-destruction is not something to validate but something to guide a child through.
Today, we face another form of teenage distress, one that has spread rapidly in recent years. Surveys suggest that a growing number of teenagers identify as transgender or experience significant distress about their bodies, with the increase being especially sharp among teenage girls.
That does not surprise me. I was once a teenage girl in a tight-knit group of friends, confused about my body and willing to harm myself because of a distorted perception of it. When that kind of confusion takes hold in a close social circle, it can spread quickly. Teenage girls, searching for identity and belonging, can become especially vulnerable to ideas that offer an explanation for their discomfort, even when those ideas lead them further away from the truth of their own bodies.
Adolescence has always been a time of confusion. Teenagers are searching for identity, meaning, and belonging while their bodies and emotions shift beneath them. That instability is not new. What is new is how adults are responding to it.
Today, when a teenager says, “I feel like I am in the wrong body,” many adults feel compelled to affirm that belief immediately. In some cases, that affirmation extends beyond words into medical interventions that can carry lifelong consequences. I can understand the feeling of being alien in your own body. I lived it. Going from a slight, childlike frame to a woman’s body felt overwhelming. At times, it felt excessive, even wrong.
But my body was not wrong. My perception was.
The adults in my life, however imperfectly, understood that their role was not to validate every feeling I had, but to help guide me through them. They did not treat a temporary distortion as a permanent truth. They did not offer me permanent solutions to what was, in hindsight, a passing and developmental struggle.
That is what I struggle to understand today. Where are the adults in the room?
Where are the voices willing to say, with compassion and clarity, that feelings are not always facts, that confusion does not require immediate affirmation, and that the body is not the enemy? Where are the parents, teachers, and doctors willing to stand in the tension between empathy and responsibility?
We have seen social contagions before. We have watched behaviors spread among vulnerable teenagers, reinforced by peer groups, culture, and the media. The details change, but the pattern remains. Teenagers look to one another for cues on how to interpret their discomfort, and when a narrative takes hold, it can shape real behavior in powerful ways.
The role of adults is not to mirror that confusion back to them. It is to anchor them through it.
Compassion does not mean affirming every belief a child expresses. Sometimes compassion requires restraint. Sometimes it requires saying no. Sometimes it requires the courage to stand against cultural momentum to protect a child from making permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.
I am grateful that the adults in my life did not hand me diet pills or encourage my self-destructive habits. I am grateful they did not medicalize a distorted perception of my body. Because if they had, I might have made permanent decisions based on a temporary state of mind.
That is the question we must ask ourselves now. Are we protecting our children, or are we affirming them into consequences they are too young to fully understand?
And another social contagion: protesting ICE and embracing the left wing ethos of way too many public school teachers.
a social contagion influenced by immature adults acting as teachers. A friend's son was in a private school and, for whatever reason, put him in a public school for middle school. Within 8 months he has been indoctrinated believing a friend is a them because the friends said so and words trump reality.
Because of moral relatism, a warped so called truth, the truth is no longer absolute. Emotion has become the new authority. Conviction replaced by comfort.
Yep, same thing happened to a former neighbor's only son. Of course, she let the kid sleep with her [hubby on the sofa] until he was 8yrs old. The kid was scared to go to the bathroom and would hold it in. Mom was afraid he would be bi-polar like she was. Pulled him out of a private school because they were more free-spirited hippy pot smoking types and moved to Belize for a time, then back to the states and off to a large public school he goes. No doubt the kid is smart, but at age 15 the Mom declares that he is gay and it was in his heart. Not the environment he was living in. Few years later I was told he declared himself non-binary. He's 20 now going to a very liberal small college in Asheville NC. Sad
Nihilism is the Lefts religion. That's their ideology.
The worst tyranny is enforcing an artificial morality in the name of fairness so that protected people can avoid natural consequences.
A society that loses obiective truth becomes ungovernable by consent. prone to manipulation, brittle under pressure, and - historically - at high risk of either splintering into warring factions or being recentralized under authoritarian control that imposes a single enforced "truth."
great comment.
Thx, Mitch!

You might say that these teachers are caught in a cult. Same idea. Their minds were captured.
And they are recruiting your kids.
There are multiple impediments to becoming an adult in the Western culture and it’s been that way for several decades. Remember the ‘I don’t wanna grow up; I’m a Toy’s R Us’ kid? That and like messaging has created perpetual adolescence for too many. It’s a huge challenge for the future as we are tested by the warriors of third world countries.
The Tavistock Institute movers-and-shakers realized post-WWII that ideas could be used as weapons to shape a society in any way they pleased.
And what pleased them was to shape it so as to go down the drain. They could remake the world in ways which suited their own delusions of power.
It seems to be rampant in healthcare as well, unfortunately. But not surprising, given the number of empathic women who are drawn to that field.
I would say it is more about their delusions than their empathy.
True empathy would never support what they do, so yes, it’s delusions.
I don’t see it as empathy. Empathic people don’t encourage others to hurt themselves.
It’s fake empathy.
It is some sort of weird mal-intent. I have noticed a desire for drama and conflict in women, basically forever. Men too, of course. But for men it comes out as anger and fighting. And usually fairly instant. Women provoke as a strategy. Society is soft and safe. Many women want drama. What better way than to import racists? Forcing their men to fight. Of course they don’t see themselves at risk. If they did they wouldn’t do it. They are shocked when it is turned on them.
Women are mad to force their men to fight. When things go wrong in such situations, they both lose.
I say that as a woman, who is very realistic.
Women of that nature have learned to use passive-aggressiveness too. Sweet as sugar upfront, but back-stabbing in a way that is not seen by onlookers.
Many empathetic people I know seem to run more on feelings than logic, and their feelings are susceptible to whatever the latest thing is, which can lead to evil actions through their deluded views.

One thing I’d like to callout is the engineering that occurred regarding this transgender piece becuase it is not a natural movement but one engineered from media, social media, and technology.
In my article on “democrats are destroying society,” I quote the following:
“In the last decade, media representation of LGBTQ+ identities has dramatically increased. A study from GLAAD’s 2022 Studio Responsibility Index found that 12% of major studio films now feature LGBTQ+ characters, a significant increase from 1% a decade ago3. [That is a 1,100% increase — a data point that we should be mindful of.]”
https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-the-democrats-are-destroying
Children are very impressionable as we know so we much be mindful of external influences as well.
If interested, I actually do a deeper dive specifically on Transgender where I tie in the media piece, but also the pharmaceutical and also the MK ultra piece: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-reality-of-programming
These are older articles so they’re archived, but any questions or comments, let me know.
I have seen multiple commercials lately that feature transgender guys (biological males). They are trying to sell transgenderism harder than the product they are supposedly advertising. I wish there was a button to express my disapproval.
There is that catchy Coca-Cola commercial from Christmas 1971 where they were pushing "multiculturalism" in the same way. Trying to instill a mindset in viewers.
"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing..."
I remember that song and those advertisements well. Put a jingle and catchy tune to something, and it’s a great way to influence people. Subtle, too.
Yes, subliminal indoctrination via entertainment.
Former PM Troodo of Canada and his WEF/Rhodes Scholars team of the Kielburger brothers used this tactic on thousands of schoolchildren who were told they were being rewarded with a musical show for having displayed good behaviour.. That show was about indoctrinating them to vote for the Troodo political party when they came of age.
They are in almost everything made in Britain film on Netflix and prime now. No entertainment is without the transgender chic element. Better dressed and coiffed than the everydays we see here at the demonstrations, of course. They are almost always the sympathetic pal or work mate holding the rest of the spinning out of control group together.
This has been cropping up in many of the deluge of drug ads we see.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is Tia?
A typo lol.
Every T.V. series has to feature same sex couples now. This may be very subtle until the plot begins to thicken then, bang! In your face.
I can’t tolerate it and turn it off. There’s no plot interesting enough for me to accept the offense. I lose all curiosity.
Same. For most I couldn’t continue to enjoy it. There were just a few that I was able to get past it because after the one initial exposure, which was very subtle, they were nothing more than a set decoration for the plot. We fast forward through ALL scenes with those characters and what do you know, the plot doesn’t fall apart and we miss nothing. Lol. But when it’s in your face every episode afterwards I won’t watch it. And too many times to count the initial exposure was so over-the-top, shoved in my face I refused to watch another minute. (That’s why I never continued to watch Game of Thrones.) It was simply gratuitous. I’m not THAT starved for entertainment. I’d rather read a good book, like Project Hail Mary!
(Yes as always I bet the book is better than the movie. The Martian was phenomenal, but the book was 100x better if you can imagine that’s possible - it is! So you CAN enjoy both and you’ll get a slightly different experience with the book - more literal LOLs. My husband and I eagerly read Project Hail Mary when it came out. I’m glad it’s been a while since we read it because that means we will still enjoy the movie a lot. But he is an incredible writer and the books for both movies should not be passed over.)
There's only one book that doesn't fit the best then a movie line, " Out of Africa" by author Karen Blixen.
Very hard to get through.
Gender Dysphoria is the biological result of the deliberate estrogenation of American males.
As any good rancher will tell you, you can't have too many bulls in the herd. So when the Evil ended the soldier breeding program in America in the '70s, they began introducing estrogenic foods like soy and corn, and synthetic hormones into the meat, poultry and plastics. And infants went from milk-based formula to soy. This overload of estrogenic hormones disrupts the developing reproductive system, so children who grew up on them, as adults will have altered reproductive systems.
Those reproductively altered male children grew up and mated with reproductively altered females and produced offspring that are so reproductively screwed up they don't even know what sex they are.
That's why we call Gender Dysphoria/Transgender the 'Happy Meal Syndrome'.
And that's why now when we need them, our soldier-age males don't know whether to pick up a gun or a bottle of nail polish.
And our older males wonder why they can't get it up.
If you have been eating estrogenated foods and drinking from plastic, or you have children who have, I say DETOX! Detox all those chemical hormones out of your body, ASAP!
I don't know if it's deliberate or if it's just business as usual. Corporations exist to make money and cheap corn and soy allow them to make more money. Plastics are everywhere because they are cheap to make. Adding hormones to meats fattens up the animals quickly. It's about profit. I doubt they care if they are feminizing men or creating cancers. If it's legal and profitable, they do it. I would also include pesticides to the list. Many are estrogen mimics.
Clem, what profit is there in putting Endocrine System Disruptors in the cash register receipt ink?
I spoke with a holistic doctor one day at Costco and she said they have put things in the vaccines as children that lower testosterone for males (and females I presume).
I have wondered out loud, when watching movies or tv shows, “where is the LGBT whole alphabet, warning at the beginning of the program?” There are micro aggression warnings for smoking, drug use, nudity, violence; I do not want to watch men kissing men or women with women. Warn me that the adorable 16 year old girl in this show will be in bed with a woman 3 episodes in. I’ve cut the cord to lame brain media, don’t go to “movies” (but I will consider Jeff’s recommendation) and watch old tv shows and movies free on YouTube. I cannot participate in conversations about the latest tv slop, but can reminisce My Favorite Martian, Alfred Hitchcock or One Step Beyond.
I watch old classics on TCM where sanity and truth prevail, and shows like Columbo I’ve seen every episode at least three times. When did it all go berserk? When did decency, truth, and sanity slide to the back burner?
I remember how insulting sitcoms became when most of the fathers were depicted as bumbling morons and the kids were the only intelligent ones in the room. And women were always disgusted with their husbands, rolling their eyes and making snide comments about them not only to others in the show but to the husband’s face. And that drew laughs? It all became insulting and I stopped watching them. I say this as a woman (born female) and now I’m angered with how so many women in real life have become obnoxious loud mouth witches on the streets of America, trashing men, traditional marriage, and having children, but embracing LBGTQ+++, encouraging transgender confusion among young people, and supporting criminal illegals.
I’m disgusted with the obnoxious blowhards of my gender at this point, and I refuse to watch shows that promote this, and turn off news that celebrate these women as heroic champions of this insanity. I think they are a much smaller portion of society than we give credit for but they have the loudest voices and get all the coverage. The squeaky wheel gets all the grease.
We own a collection of dvds of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Whoopi Goldberg is at the very beginning warning about the “offensive” and “insensitive” politically incorrect things to come that were considered ok at the time. I would love for alphabet warnings before shows now. But I’m sure that would be triggering to leftists. Not gonna happen.
A woman said ‘lots of nudity in that series’. I ask my son if that is true. ‘NO! Nude men’s butts only! That’s not nudity. Breasts and women naked is nudity. They should warn us - Warning! Close your eyes. Naked male butt next shot.’
It is indeed social engineering, Frank. For those who know how to do this, and have access to mass media and influential groups, they can make vulnerable persons believe almost anything -- whether it is within the realm of reality or not.
yes, and even in credit card mailed advertisements, websites to get you to sign up for, or each statement you look at the openers are woke, left, gays, etc. they are so hard after that next business, the next dollar, to appeal to a small minority, but I guess also to make regular people feel guilty if they don't "partake".
The nine most dangerous words you can tell a confused child:
"In order to be yourself, you must change yourself".
The 10 most dangerous words you can tell a confused child:
"genitals don't determine gender but cutting them off changes it"
Sorry folks, you can't change puberty.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 warns us about this.
"A time will come when people will reject sound, truthful doctrine, choosing instead to follow their own desires. They will seek out teachers who tell them what they want to hear ("itching ears"), turning away from the truth to embrace myths and fables."
Isn't it amazing how almost everything we talk about has been foretold in the Bible?
I saw a clip yesterday of a university professor, saying that she is a lesbian and has had several girlfriends with penises. 😳 Soo your saying your straight but want to share clothes with your boyfriend. ??
Lolol. I just saw that this morning. My body couldn't make up its mind whether I should puke or shoot coffee from my nose!
Deuteronomy 22:5 states, "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God"
because there is nothing new under the Sun.
Yup. They're just trying to redefine communism.
Its why they're swapping objective evidence and reason for sacred utopian ideologies that can't be questioned. Disagree and you're not wrong - you're evil. That's nihilism in a suit. Explains everything wrong with the West right now
Thank you for posting this, a grandchild is in the midst of this. Praying for the adults in the room.
You are one of the adults in the room. Be sympathetic but firm, it's puberty and it can suck but you will grow through it.
100% on target, I remember my body changing too, lol. I look back at pictures and think I was beautiful and slender, not ugly and fat. Perception clarity comes with age, at least it did for me, and sometimes I am still wrong. lol Great article. thank you for sharing.
I noted some time ago that pictures of me that I thought were awful started looking pretty good five years later. Ten years later I can really appreciate how good I looked.😜
Well expressed commentary, Molly Englehart! I worked in eating disorders and seeing these young folks destroying their bodies by dieting and cutting, (both were treated in our clinic) was disturbing to say the least. "The role of adults is not to mirror that confusion back to them. It is to anchor them through it." Perception is that youngsters' reality, even though it is distorted. "But my body was not wrong. My perception was." you nailed this! The fear of transitioning youngsters is another form of dysphoria and needs to be addressed, not give them the tools to permanently mutilate themselves with pills and surgery!
That fear is purposely induced. Much like the induced fear of COVID-mania.
British author Laura Dodsworth wrote a reasonable book at the time on the induced-fear factor of the COVID hype.
I recognized it as a way into hacking the Attachment System of the human brain.
Thought I would join you for a bit this morning.
I worked in public education and I’ve always thought it was interesting that I became aware of the growing phenomenon of ‘cutting’ amongst adolescents soon after the very popular movie ‘Dances With Wolves’ came out.
Correlation does not imply causality. What relationship do you see between the movie and the cutting (or your awareness of the cutting)?
As a tomboy who would have jumped at the chance of being a boy, I find this movement terrifying, as I would have been on the cutting board.
I was also a "Tom Boy" but I didn't want to be a boy, I just wanted to be accepted by them and to be "one of the gang". I always got along with males better than females and enjoyed their company and interests more. One of my first jobs was me and 300 men... I didn't realize it would be that way until I walked in my first day. It was a little bumpy (before the feminists got an attitude) but I lived and learned.
I still prefer the company of males.
I recommend reading the classic Attachment Theory by John Bowlby, and then realizing that the Attachment System can be hacked. Which is what we are seeing in these bizarre new psychological phenomena.
I had training for therapeutic foster care a couple of decades ago. We were told that infants need one consistent caregiver for about two years in order for the Attachment System to properly develop. If it doesn’t there will be abandonment and trust issues for a lifetime.
My ex-husband and I both experienced some separation from our mothers for an extended period during that timeframe.
He was left with a babysitter for a few weeks, while his mother traveled with his dad. My mother spent several weeks in a hospital in a distant city and from what I can gather, I probably only had one short visit during that time. I was passed around to family and friends.
Otherwise we were certainly adequately cared for. Both of us only know what was told to us, and we made it almost 30 years, but I believe it contributed to the divorce and the trust bonds were always weak.
I do have a heart for today’s ravaged youth. As my mother used to say about some sad situations, “They never stood a chance😢”
We’ve got to get God back into people’s lives! I don’t think we can begin to handle this level of harm on our own.
Thanks for that, WS. I am very much aware of Therapeutic Parenting. Through the work of Danel Hughes and his wonderful PACE Program, and also Sarah Naish and her books.
The newest application of Therapeutic Parenting is being advocated by British Psychotherapist and expert on "Parental Alienation" -- Karen Woodall of the Family Separation Clinic in London. She has an excellent website, and does some marvelous work with both the rejected parents and the alienated children (the more severe cases behave very much like children with Reactive Attachment Disorder). Because this is not a high-conflict divorce issue, as some people insist.... it is an issue of Attachment Disorder -- first in the alienating parent, and then in the dependent children as a form of familial Stockholm Syndrome. Or bonding-to-the-abuser as a last-ditch attempt to stay safe through fawning. Built into our brains by evolution
Even adults with Attachment Disorder can use Mentalizing (Fonagy/Bateman) to heal.
I suspect that Therapeutic Parenting (see Dan Hughes, Sarah Naish, and Fonagy/Bateman) can heal the Trans-g kids.
This piece should be printed out and handed to every single "adult" who advocates for child mutilation. I can't see how they could contest any point she has made.
"Educational" programs in media or schools that attempted to warn teens about the dangers of eating disorders or cutting actually ended up introducing these concepts to so many kids who would otherwise never had encountered them at that fragile time in their lives. I know of such people who would agree that this is true for them.
The transgender phenomenon is even worse for three reasons:
The info is everywhere, easily accessible by the internet in a way not common a couple of decades ago.
The issue is framed as an identity, not just an action one took to fit into a societal ideal or relieve stress.
As was mentioned, it is affirmed by the adults who should be helping the teens work through their distress and find ways to successfully handle teen angst.
We are all manipulated by mind controlled media.
The New Testament helps.
While I appreciate your sharing this, I have to question how this fits with Iran, the Middle East, and our feckless media. IMHO you are hijacking this wonderful missive from Jeff and need to ***start your own substack.*** Just saying...
There are more than 25 replies TO YOU. I came here to read Jeff's commentary!!!
There are currently 129 likes on this posts, and multiple comments from people thanking me. If you recall, Jeff has posted multiple times about the entire gender idiocy and danger. That he did not today should not preclude posting it now. If you wish to reply to my reply, please do so on Sunday .
It is shocking that 129 people would approve of parasites .

I take issue when a parent says their child is their best friend. When you are an adult maybe it's different slightly. If the child says the same thing not good either.
Wonderfully expressed.
Molly is a truly remarkable person. To understand her journey: https://youtu.be/JnIuRVL-dMQ
I have read her book. Highly recommended. Should be required in HS, if not earlier
Thank you. The exact progression I heard a therapist talk about on Victor Davis Hanson’s podcast. https://youtu.be/7Htl5AaWzv0?si=2Vxdub-GfgeS3sC1 Chillingly accurate. I was a bulimic soon after I was married and left the house at 18. Then surrounded by thin, tanned young well dressed college girls and Twiggy on every magazine cover, while I worked and put hubby through college who had a thin thing himself. 5 dollars bags of groceries were all we could afford and no new clothes. The eating thing stayed around in some form for 12 years. By the 80s I heard of cutting and other self harming. I think my daughter escaped this but surely she was aware of my food issues. Sadly, her daughter did not. Now a 20 yr old transgender man.
What a tragedy.
I feel your anguish ...

I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all word and all knowledge, even as the witness about Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, beyond reproach in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

This is the answer to Roland's post about teen dysphoria. Due to a complete lack of a Biblical worldview in either the culture or the parents of the teen, the child has no paradigm to follow to affirm her (or his) self-worth... a self-worth that can only be found in the fact that she was created by God in His image. The teen is therefore wide open for satanic lies that tell her she has no value. Subsequent actions are simply the logical outcomes of self-destruction.
This whole problem did not exist in my childhood but I am 75 years old and the elders, if not the culture, of my day were almost to a man, Christian. This is how far our culture has fallen.
**He made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. But reporters stubbornly refused to write that story**
They are not journalists or reporters, they put out propaganda.
re: "The story “three days after refusing, 22 nations sign up” practically writes itself."
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning... smells like... victory!" Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now as portrayed by the Iconic Robert Duvall Also memorable "Charlie Dont Surf!!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RHo_ZG-YGo&t=6s or the longer version:
https://youtu.be/ePTpg_qJ5Gs?si=Xct1_H4ydaEOxs9Z Including Flight of the Valkyrie
Did Macron smell Trump's napalm? Yep. TAW.
Duvall was the best
Absolutely, in every role he every played. His LTC Kilgore was magnificent, I worked with guys like him in the Infantry, fearless, funny, lethal motherfuckers. As good as he was in "Apocalypse Now", "Open Range" was probably his best, was a great movie.
Open Range is one of my very favorite westerns. Right up there with Dances with Wolves. I loved Duvall. He was also fantastic as Captain Augustus "Gus" McCrae in Lonesome Dove. The first time I watched it I thought I would watch it in three parts as it was made for television. I started at 10pm and watched the entire six hours and went to bed at 4am. One hell of a character actor. I would have loved to have had pint or two with him.
I haven't seen Lonesome Dove, I will need to check it out. Dances with Wolves was tremendous, Duvall's sidekick (in Open Range) Costner was tremendously good!
A must see in my opinion. Tommy Lee Jones, a young Diane Lane, Chris Cooper,Danny Glover, Anjelica Huston, Steve Buscemi, just to name a few of the cast. Star studded is an understatement. I have read the book as well. Larry McMurtry is a fantastic writer and story teller.
Totally agree, we watch it over and over again
Yep, I've seen it multiple times, will watch it multiple more times.
My favorite Duvall movie was The Great Santini. Robert Duvall as an actor was the best of the best IMO.
Scott Bessent smacks down NBC's Kristen Welker. Awesome clip.

re: "But when Israel and America bombed Iran —killed the Supreme Leader, destroyed nuclear facilities, and launched a full-scale air campaign— the PA’s official response was: Iran is the problem. They are basically saying, go ahead."
You don't think maybe the PA was coerced in many ways over the years/decades to bow to the mullahs - I'm not saying the PA wasn't a bunch of thugs - but sometimes you have to go to the dance with the scum bag who is paying the bills?
Now that they are gone, and they see Trump is dead serious about bringing peace and prosperity to ALL of the ME, they are getting on board the Trump Train?
Not coerced....bribed.
I'm okay with that, but, I think it highly plausible given their murderous tactics, even against their own people, they might have used coercion too?
"Stenographers" is the best description I have heard for written media. "Teleprompter readers" works for "news anchors" or "reporters".
Script readers for Hollywood actors who actually think they are competent in the roles they play act while reading scripts prepared by someone else!
The EU nations "standing up to Trump"? Nonsense, they have been forced to admit they screwed themselves with their energy infrastructure and continue to waste resources on the failed regime in Ukraine. Trump is putting them in their place. But the deep state media won't say that.
Why aren't we shown the protests in France and Germany against these installed leaders, Macron, Merz and Starmer?
It seems the EU (the Globalists) and the Iran Terror regime only respond when they are bullied into submission. An enhanced version of Peace through Strength.
That has everything to do with Iran (and rest of Middle East/Islam) world view. Power and force is the only true mechanism effective for them. Think back and tell me when we in the west had an enduring change by negotiations with any Mid East country! For that matter, think when we had an enduring change with anyone that didn't involve application or removal of force. Germany & japan in ww2, unlmited surrender. Korea & viet Nam force withdrawn. Afganistan, Iraq force withdrawn.
Right wing parties just did well in French and German elections.
I support Trump because right now, Trump is the one great hope against the British Network of Globalists and their destruction of the West.
Who/what is the British Network?
In case you have not come across this information, the Globalist movement is run by the British Network that has operated out of the City of London for eons. Probably since Londinium was first founded out of the scraps of the falling Roman Empire.
This British Network includes the City of London financial district, the think-tank known as Chatham House, the Rhodes Trust (Rhodes Scholars), the Tavistock Institute (psychological warfare), the London School of Economics, and several colleges at Oxford/Cambridge. Harvard in the US is the American equivalent. Also the NYT and Washington Post. The Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations too. Many other institutions. WEF is under the British Network, as is the Bilderberg Group.
Promethean Action puts out excellent commentary on the British angle.
Yes, it does. I catch the Promethean Action podcasts when I can. They deal with the political angle of Globalism from the British Network. I deal more with the psychological angles myself. Though these are all tactics meant to meet the same end.
American Harvard-trained historian Carroll Quigley wrote at length and published about the British Network and the American colluders, back in 1949-1966. Not that he was against them, because this was his own Harvard circle. But as an historian, he wanted this documented.
There are several other reliable sources of information too. Matthew Ehret of the Canadian Patriot website, and authors Richard Poe, Mark Curtis, and Daniel Estulin are a few. See also the TOOLKIT of the Promethean Action site.
It began with William of Orange, the Dutch king installed by the Amsterdam branch of Rothchilds creating the Bank of England. Still in charge through Zionism.
Amsterdam and the Dutch East India Company were indeed involved at one point in history. Though I maintain that it began with the wealthy powerful (and psychopathic) families of Rome and Venice who were seeking a new power-base at the fall of the Roman Empire.
Agreed. Black Nobility still in charge.
Well, those family lines have not died out, and their Cluster-B personality disorders are transgenerational. Unless there is a brave family curse-breaker, this will continue.
Jeff,
I did not have a donation link yesterday when I asked you to consider doing a multiplier to stop the steal Agenda 21 in Virginia. Here it is:
https://stopthegerrymander.com
I also want to clarify a few things I said. I said the democrats have scheduled a special election April 21 to allow them to change the Virginia consitution to redistrict mid cycle. As I mentioned, this was voted down in 2020 in 133 out of 134 counties, but they are pulling out all the stops now. $25 million of out of state money, and Soros just said he is adding another $5 million. I watched a lot of March Madness this weekend, and virtually every game had multiple ads featuring Obama saying "we deserve 5 more seats and need to restore fairness in elections". I said 4 more seats yesterday. Seems they want to now gerrymander to steal all 11 seats.
C&C has done multipliers before for individual candidates. There are 5 Republican House seats at stake in this one election. I also said this is just to change the constution and vote in a referendum in November. I know think I erred, and if this passes, and the Virginia Supreme Court does not strike it down, they will redistrict before the November elections.
Virginia has the second earliest early voting in the country, 45 days, so time is of the essence.
This is existential for Virginians, but dire for everyone else who does not want to see 5 House seats flipped next month. Thanks for your time.
Virginia congress just passed extreme & unconstitutional gun restriction law. Jovan Pulitzer takes this as sign of impending civil war.

Thank you Rolandttg!!
Mr Jeff, you are the Wordsmith! I LOVE “trad-media”!! So much better than “mainstream”, because they are not, anymore. Of course they only report good or positive things about PRESIDENT TRUMP when forced to. (Not the same thing, but it does remind me of the Scripture that assures us EVERY knee will someday bow to the Lord Jesus Christ, whether willingly or not). Philippians 2:9-11

Good morning!
Just getting in touch with my inner muckraker this morning. Had to go back a bit. Just a messenger. Put your arrows back in your quivers.
1967: The treatment of the Palestinians by the Zionist Jews, finally ignites enough anger in the Arab world for Egypt, Jordan and Syria to mobilise on Israel's borders. All of these three countries are suddenly attacked by Israel and as a result the Sinai which included Gaza was stolen from Egypt, and the West Bank and the Jordan River stolen from Jordan.
As a result of this, on June 8, the Israelis launch an attack on the USS Liberty with Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats, in an effort to blame it on Egypt, to bring America into the war on their side, and of course follow to the letter, their Mossad motto,
"By Way Of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War." also ("For by stratagems you wage war.")
As a result of their attack, 34 American servicemen were killed and 174 wounded. Israel lies as usual, claiming it mistook this warship that was flying a large United States flag, for an ancient out-of- service Egyptian horse carrier El Quseir, that was 180 feet shorter. They also claim the ship was in the war zone, when it was actually in international waters, far from any fighting. The Israeli's attack on this warship lasts for 75 minutes during which time they shoot up one of the United States flags, resulting in the sailors desperately raising another one.
In the aftermath of this attack, the American sailors who survived are warned by the United States military not to discuss the matter with anyone due to, "national security." This story gets no prominence in the Rothschild controlled mainstream media and as usual Israel is in no way even rebuked for their crimes by their subservient country of America.
Fascinating stuff.
To tie it altogether: Frederic Morton publishes his book, The Rothschilds, in which he states,
"Though they control scores of industrial, commercial, mining and tourist corporations, not one bears the name Rothschild. Being private partnerships, the family houses never need to, and never do, publish a single public balance sheet, or any other report of their financial condition." This attitude reveals the true aim of the Rothschilds, to eliminate all competition and create their own worldwide monopoly. 1963: On June 4th President John F. Kennedy (the 35th President of the United States 1961 1963) signs Executive Order 11110 which returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Rosthchilds owned Federal Reserve.
Less than 6 months later on November 22nd , president Kennedy is assassinated by the Rothschilds for the same reason as they assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, he wanted to print American money for the American people, as opposed to the benefit of a money grabbing war mongering foreign elite.
This Executive Order 11110, is rescinded by President Lyndon Baines Johnson (the 36th President of the United States 1963 to 1969) on Air Force One from Dallas to Washington, the same day as President Kennedy was assassinated.
And LBJ KNEW ahead of time about the plot to overthrow JFK. Complicit in the murder.
And the Liberty.
Freemasons stick together for fear of assassination.
According to Promethian Action (YouTube) the British Empire through the City of London controls MI6, the CIA & Mossad. Robert Maxwell was allegedly involved in all three spook networks plus others. The same with Epstein. Who controls the City of London? The Rothschild crime mafia. They also control the Rockefeller crime family. Check out Promethian Action.
Lex Wexner had big mafia ties thru his business dealing- The Limited.
I can’t help but wonder how other nations refer to “America” or “Americans” or “[pick a nation] Americans” or the “American government”. Do they perceive and define them according to the Democrat party and all they have done around the world and to our own the past couple decades? Do they assume ALL Americans are as corrupt and hateful as these traitors? Do they assume our government is what this small minority is? Or do they see us according to those of us that stand up against what they do and have done, both here and overseas? Which America do they refer to?
It’s the same with Israel. Which Israel do you refer to and why don’t you make it more clear, simply stating Zionist Jews is not clear given the slur that it has become. I have no doubt there are untrustworthy and corrupt American Jews in power influencing our government, but there are just as many corrupt non-Jewish Americans also. The Israel government has their offensive members just like we do. But that doesn’t make all of Israel the same, or everyone in their government evil. Their corrupt elite joined with our corrupt elite, and have wreaked havoc for years. I think Trump is trying to outplay them both, and intends to reset the game board.
We have to stop with this nonsense of blaming “Israel”. Which Israel? The small corrupt minority? That’s the pot calling the kettle black given our corrupt minority that holds so much power over our own government and media.
The minute the anti-Israel rhetoric starts, the minute it’s clear someone is trying to blame an entire nation for their corrupt leadership, I turn the volume down and walk away. These are not serious or fair arguments at all the way they are presented. They show an ulterior motive that is just as corrupt as those you accuse. Corruption is not a nation of people, it is individuals that need to be rooted out. Trying to divide our countries completely rather than pinpoint the individual offenders is a strategic tactic by enemies of both countries.
Painting with a wide brush on these matters is dangerous and off the mark. Any given people, in most cases, shouldn't be lumped together with an Institution/Hierarchy/Establishment...whatever name you give them.
I think Juju when most complain about a country, most mean the govt of that country, not the everyday civilians trying to make it through the day like the rest of us.
Yes but look at our own government. There are definitely two very different sides to it, at minimum, and not all sides are corrupted. So which do they refer to when speaking of the “American government?”
My point is we can easily see how the corrupt in our own government is just a subset and not reflective of our entire government, but we can’t see that for Israel?
True, good point.
wow, I sure wasn't taught that in school. But I have to admit, there was a lot of stuff left out from my school days.
Consider to look at the posters name, as his imagination is great. Usually this crowd comes early in the thread. Apparently they over slept. ( A hangover from the real headlines) Notice how now even the Arab world is, in their fevered imagination, dancing to the Israel tune. Yes, they fail to articulate or rebutt even one aspect of Jeff's article.
"..fail to articulate or rebutt..."
Here you go David:
Jeff's theory fails to address the true rulers of the World, the llluminati and their City of London, the financial headquarters of the Evil.
Since he's been in office Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Iraq, Venezuela, Somalia, and Syria (killing innocent women, children and civilians).
Do you know what those countries have in common?
They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.
You know who else is NOT on the Rottchild banking system?
Cuba.
Have you seen the videos of the Cuban people desperately begging the World for help? They have no oil. No power, no hospitals, no gas, no food, no transportation. Cubans are in horrible conditions and crisis and begging the World for help.
Why? Because Donald Trump bombed Venezuela, so City of London could install a new regime, and then Trump ordered a blockade to prevent Venezuelan ships from getting oil to Cuba. (Venezuela is one of the largest oil suppliers for Cuba.)
In March '26 Trump declared that Cuba is "going to fall pretty soon".
Yes because he is committing economic genocide on Cuba.
Why?!???
WTF did Cubans do to deserve Trump murdering them???
And what do those countries who suddenly announced support for Trump's Zionist agenda to steal Iran's oil fields have in common?
They are on the Rottchild banking system. And just like Trump and Bibi, they serve City of London.
Its time to take the red pill.
Who the hell are you?! I simply report on something without taking sides and you start whining. You are exactly what's wrong with social media. Bugger off, welp.
Re-read Hob, I was replying to David.
please hold......
Mine was for David as well. Posted under him. You got caught in the crossfire.
Fascinating stuff, indeed.
Here's an article explaining that some Mossad agents were positively giddy watching nearly 3,000 Americans get incinerated in the Twin Towers.
https://www.unz.com/wwebb/the-dancing-israelis-fbi-docs-shed-light-on-apparent-mossad-foreknowledge-of-9-11-attacks/
I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe, Israel is not "Our Greatest Ally."
Yeah. Once you go all the way down that particular rabbit hole, you better get ready for a few uncomfortable revelations/surprises.
An employee from the Mossad front operation was quoted as saying to an American employee, "Give us twenty years and we'll take over your media and country."
--Page 37 of the FBI report.
On October 3, 2001(?) Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, makes the following statement to Ashkenazi Jew, Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that....I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
Began when Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act.
The further you go down the Rabbit hole the more it becomes a Rabbi hole.
I worked in a hospital. And you know who was GIDDY?
Muslim doctors, standing around the tv in the lounge, all but jumping up and down and clapping.
You haters of Jews believe every lie you are told.
Jewish religion not involved.
No. But HATRED of Jews and everything Israel is.
I think the point being made is 'do not be gullible or a Pollyanna about any country or group of people". There are good people and evil people everywhere.
Maybe you’re new on here.
But No.
These entities come on here every day to disparage anything or anyone who stands with Jews, with Israel. And to disparage President Donald Trump.
I do not stand for everything the Israeli government DOES, as I will NOT stand with ANYTHING the corrupt DemonicRAT Party stands for or does.
But I do stand with Israel and Israel’s right to exist.
These Muslims and demonicRATS that come on here day after day only come to do one thing. Turn people against a teeny-tiny nation surround by a sea of nation who serve a pedophilic ‘god’.
Yup, they think Israel controls America, and Saudi Arabia has no influence here.
Most absurd.
Would Sunni Saudi Arabia tolerate a nuclear capable Shi'a Iran? Doubt it.
US & Israel, once again, are doing the Sunnis dirty work.
It won’t be enough to dismantle the deep state. We will have to drive a stake through its heart.
"The sinking if the USS Liberty, a government intelligence ship, in the 1967 war, exposed the close collaboration with the CIA and Mossad Israel Military Intelligence. The CIA representative at the US Embassy, Tel Aviv, reported to the senior office CIA at McLean, Va. June 7, 1967 that Israel had decided to sink the USS Liberty. The CIA refused to warn the doomed sailors. With President Johnson in the White House at the time were Matilda and Arthur Krim, Johnson's liaison with the Israeli government...."

Eric… Have you read “The General’s Son” by Miko Peled? Anyone herein?
… given the current purposefully propagandized per 6 Zionist billionaire owners of ALL MEDIA including Israel media… (and thank God for our Jeff Childers brilliant talented journalist Coffee & Covid!)
I hope you can take the time to watch a Jimmy Dorr podcast with an author that is imho the honest telling of the REAL Palestinian CONFLICT brought to them without recourse in 1947… https://youtu.be/BJHZ8zki6CY?si=Uxw7K6EBJDvKgeOH
I read “The General’s Son” by Miko Peled in 2012… and was called a Nazi by friends who KNOW me for defending his book…nothing has changed, in fact the lies are so escalated with the ignorant believing the well paid for lies, I fear where it’s going…
Thanks for the info. 😁
Reviews on The Generals Son…
Review
“There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one.”
—Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
“This is an important book, full of hope and inspiration for a shared destiny between Palestinians and Israelis based on mutual respect and equal rights.”
—Susan Abulhawa, author and political activist
“Matti Peled, the general of the title, was a remarkable personality. An underground fighter, a combat soldier and an architect of the Israeli army that won the Six-day War, he was a militaristic hawk before becoming an outstanding peace activist. The man who pushed the Israeli government into the war turned into one of the most implacable enemies of the occupation that resulted from it. During the twenty years we were close associates in this endeavor, I sometimes wondered how it was for a boy to grow up in the shadow of such a headstrong father. In this candid account, Miko Peled tells us how he followed in the footsteps of the general, from parachutist to fighter for peace, although his beloved 12-year-old niece was killed by suicide bombers. A fascinating story that provides much food for thought.”
—Uri Avnery, veteran Israeli peace activist and former member of Knesset
“Miko Peled has written a fascinating book about his illustrious father—military hero, defiantly independent peace-activist politician, and Ph.D. professor-translator-scholar of Arabic language and literature. But this is in no way a conventional biography of a multi-talented great man. Rather, it is a penetrating, honest analysis of the core beliefs and courageous lives lived by an iconic Jewish leader and his remarkable family. A family that, though part of the national Zionist political-military establishment, have long reached out with empathetic concern for the Palestinians under Israeli occupation control—and who continue to agitate for a just peace acceptable to both Jews and Arabs. That family commitment to reconciliation has been sorely tested but remains unbroken even after a young grand-daughter of the general was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber… Miko is truly inspiring in the telling of his family’s story — and of his own struggles to come to terms with the moral, ethical and intellectual legacy from his father.”
—Landrum Bolling, veteran US peace activist, former president, Earlham College
“This is a brilliantly rendered father and son saga amidst a background that evokes Greek mythology. The father was an Israeli hero in the fight for independence and the subsequent wars that led to Israeli dominance, and a brutal occupation. The father and son difficulties can never escape the bigger picture. This is a story of admiration—and anger.”
—Seymour Hersh, investigative journalist
“Miko did not automatically follow in the footsteps of his remarkable father—a hawkish general turned Arabist and early proponent of a two-state solution in dialogue with the PLO. Instead, we are privileged to accompany the author on his own fascinating internal odyssey—a journey of self-education and cumulative critique of Zionist premises and Israeli practices culminating in poignant advocacy of a unitary binational state anchored in common humanity.”
—Walid Khalidi, general secretary, Institute for Palestine Studies
“The story of Miko Peled, his mother and father, reveals how facts, compassion and a universal sense of justice took hold and inspires this energetic and informed voice for peace.”
—Ralph Nader
“Out of personal pain and sober reflection on the past comes this powerful narrative of transformation, empowerment and commitment. It is the personal story that brings home forcefully how one liberates oneself from oppressive ideologies without losing one’s identity, family and humanity. Miko’s story is a must read for anyone who has not lost hope that one day peace and justice will prevail in Israel and Palestine.”
—Ilan Pappé, Israeli historian, professor of history at the University of Exeter (UK)
“The General’s Son provides a window into a unique view Palestinians need to see. It tells the story of a man and his son whose experience in the Israeli army awakened them to the horrible reality of Israeli occupation. I would strongly recommend it to all Palestinians and to those that sympathise with their quest for freedom and justice.”
—Azzam Tamimi, British Palestinian academic and author of Hamas: The Unwritten Chapters

Anything that refers to Carnegie or Rockefeller as pro humanity is suspect to me.
There is indeed a difference between actually being Pro-humanity, and just using that image as a front for nefarious behaviour behind the scenes.
But most people are duped by the deliberate image.
Here is another example.
I have never been a feminist, though I am an educated woman. Why? Because I smelled a rather large rat even as a girl.
Then I grew up and tracked the rat to the doctored "research" of Anthropologist Margaret Mead, who worked decades ago with the Tavistock Institute of London to mind-control the masses. She was responsible for the mass hysteria/mind-control/ implanting of the concepts of the sexual revolution of the 60s/70s, and the feminist movement. Which millions of women fell for.
One of the classes I took at Uni was on Mead. I concluded she was a crazy old twat... but still got a good grade in the class writing bullsh!t papers 😂
Her work was crazy like a fox -- she knew exactly what she was doing. She was not motivated by teaching you about supposed Polynesian sexual morality, but about getting you to believe her fabricated deceits so that YOU would behave this way. And thus assist in destroying Western society.
Where better to implant these lies than in young adult college students?
I totally agree, except I was 40 with 8 kids when I first entered the higher education environment. So I came to the class very jaded 😂 Plus it was an afterthought class I took to finish out my hours.
Wow, 8 children. You beat out the Brady Bunch Shayne:}
Haven't seen the T word in sometime. And yes, Mead was one!
🤣😂🤣
I tried several times to read Mead but could never get past the first page. And i read everything. Maybe someone was protecting me?
Unfortunately, her ideas were circulated within society even if you had not directly read them.
Agreed.
Wish I knew that when I had her for Anthropology in College. Her husband Gregory Bateson too.
Yes, Anthropologist Gregory Bateson worked in this manner with the Tavistock Institute too. You might call them senior mind-controllers.
And before anyone here thinks I have contradicted myself in recommending the Attachment Theory of John Bowlby -- because Dr. Bowlby worked for the Tavistock Institute too -- I am aware of the discrepancy.
Believe me, I have asked myself repeatedly whether John Bowlby developed his Attachment Theory for good or for bad. Or did someone else at the Tavistock hijack it after his death?
Still thinking on that.
**Haha, this reversal wildly complicates things for the American-campus pro-Palestine folks.**
I'm thinking that they do what they are told and they will keep it up as long as the money keeps flowing.
Those are the oldest ppl who are in Dgov today. Yup that's how we got here.
Will be REALLY interesting to see what happens when money stops. Iran runs out, but will Soros continue to maintain chaos for his globalist ends??
Soros will spend his money on destroying America and freedom to his dying day. He has a psychotic hatred of all of us in the West and has said so many times. He always reminds me of that one rotting apple in the bottom of the bag that rots everything else it touches. Real evil incarnate.
His son is the same.
So what exactly did all those countries agree to DO? Not their mealy mouthed political nonsense but what did they actually agree to DO about reopening the Strait of Hormuz?
NOTHING. Zero ships. Zero troops. Zero military boots on the ground. ZERO.
But it was a really well crafted letter.
03/23/26: Top-ten best seller!
03/23/26: But their paperwork is in perfect order!!!
remember it's the thought that counts
And the French military mess halls with the crepes, cannot go to war without crêpes suzette! "It is famous for being flambéed tableside, a dramatic technique that ignites the alcohol, burns off the harshness, and caramelizes the sauce." Well, we beat them to the punch, having flambéed the Iranian navy and caramelized the Ayatollah and his top 100 goat-horny cohorts.
And 100 innocent girls.
Demonic thinking ruled Gaza invasion.
With obligatory hearty handshake like our diplomats in Teheran and Russia.
You underestimate the power of happy thoughts.
They saw 1000 Americans dead already and the mutiny on the Gerald Ford Carrier.
Not a good investment after we bombed their pipeline.
Links???
If you were Iranian you may ask the same question, as all they did for that nation was get more of their citizens killed and their nation wrecked. Perhaps a politely worded letter of support is best.
Good Monday Morning.... third today!
Great. Now what will we do with the inevitable Islamic France and UK? Thats 10 to 20 years away, give or take. US too, if we dont wake up.
Interesting question, now that all those military age men are there, (with their enslaved women) and their new country of residence doesn't have the will to remove them, will they become a self supporting chaos generating element to Islamify Europe?
Just a note on European gas prices. Our daughter and futures son in law live in Germany (He is German, she is an American Ex-Pat school teacher) and he asked us yesterday how much gas is here. I told him about 3.15 per gallon (Wisconsin) and he said it was 2.50 a litre there. There are 4 litres to a gallon, so if you do the math that is almost $11.00 a GALLON they are paying!! Crazy.
There are 3.8 liters to the gallon, so it is $9.50/gal if it's 2.50/liter there.
Here in PR gas is sold by the liter, and my local station was at $0.767/liter a week ago just eclipsed $1/liter over the weekend (around $3.90/gal).
There are two versions of the weights system. The Imperial system and American system.
The US gallon is a wee bit smaller than the Imperial gallon. When New Zealand and Australia changed from the Imperial system to Metrics, and gas was then sold as litres, people felt ripped off because the price adjustment was off. Same with changing from NZ/AU sterling to dollars.
Prices have always been higher in Germany. I went online and compared the price per gallon in the U.S. at the end of December 2025 = $2.98 to the equivalent price per gallon in U.S. dollars in Germany = $8.29. The US saw an average increase of .98 ($3.96) and Germany had an increase of .55 ($8.29) in U.S. dollars.
What was the price before closing the Straits?
I give the "mainstream" media an A+.... on duplicity.
