“Hey, call me a cynic but I'm starting to think these blood drinking, Moloch worshiping paedophiles who run our government might not have our best interests at heart.” —Norm Macdonald

The Epstein files have Robert Trivers working with the predator to normalize transgender... So this lawsuit and other lawsuits cannot be won soon enough because:

If they cannot kill you in the womb with abortion, they will flood your veins with poison directly after birth and then try to mutilate your body with trans ideology. Starting with your first meal they will assault your health with FDA approved toxic waste masquerading around as nourishment, taint your morals and virtue while desensitizing you to the worst this world has to offer with a hollywood education, wreck your real education with masturbation, critical race theory, & social emotional/abusive learning, and once finished desecrating God creation will cast off your once innocent soul as a forlorn exile into the MAID meat-grinder.

This satanic madness has to end.

Right Janice. You have to wonder about satanist, how low their IQ must be to do a deal with the father of LIES and then actually expect the serpent to honor it. What has he promised them? It's a LIE. Who in their right mind would choose this:

The demons rise with burning eyes of hatred and ill will. Madmen fed on death and lies to beat and burn and kill.

Over this:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Only an idiot, that's who.

Deception doesn’t scream I’M DECEIVING YOU. It whispers, “I’m telling you the truth.”

Oma's avatar

“Eve succumbed because the tree appeared desirable in three ways: it was good for food (lust of the flesh), pleasant to the eyes (lust of the eyes), and desirable to make one wise (pride of life). Satan's lies exploited her desires perfectly, leading her to choose Satan's word over God's.”

Interesting to say the least.

Melissa S's avatar

And almost always left out is the second half of the verse: Genesis 3:6 -"When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, WHO WAS WITH HER, and he ate it."

Cynthia's avatar

Yep, Adam was standing right there and didn't step in to protect her from the serpent's lies. Funny how that part of the verse is ignored and Eve gets all the blame.

SD Scott's avatar

One lie lead to so many more. An entire language of lies!

It was all so unnecessary: one doesn’t need direct knowledge of good & evil to become wise.

It’s just the opposite! Such knowledge corrupts the soul.

It all comes down to the original sin: pride. People want to have what they crave and will believe any lie to get it. Whether it be money, power, beauty, etc. it’s all about their desires. They don’t think about the consequences.

TriTorch's avatar

The lucerferians like to believe this “axiom” absolves them of their lies and their flooding the world with deceit:

Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur, a Latin phrase, means "The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived."

They are mistaken…

AJF's avatar

Karmy, I'm really enjoying a book by Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing titled "Mary's Voice." It's meant to be read during Advent (Advent Reflections to Contemplate the Coming of Christ) but I'm reading it now. Because people always question why don't we hear Mary's voice she counters that during the 1st century women weren't trusted any so men didn't quote them for fear of their writings being dismissed. Luke did however as she points out.

2nd Smartest Guy is killing it. ..............................................................

UPDATE: EPSTEIN FILES HORROR SHOW: Millions Of Documents Released Exposing Bill Gates's STDs, Pedos In Government, Torture, Rape, Babies Dismembered, Murder & Other Depravities

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/update-epstein-files-horror-show

.......................

UPDATE 3: EPSTEIN FILES HORROR SHOW:...

...Jeffrey Epstein sent an email in 2017 stating that then Senator MARCO RUBIO WAS THE ORIGINAL FUNDER FOR STEELE DOSSIER. 👀

Marco Rubio currently wields more authority as US Secretary of State than any other Secretary in history.

...Just like with Trump’s previously badly misguided cabinet picks... so too is “Little Marco” perfectly positioned to destroy the tenuous and ultra-fragile MAGA movement.

And is it any surprise that Jeffrey Epstein was always in on the PSYOP-19 scamdemic and associated Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines” that were designed to control and ultimately depopulate large swaths of humanity?

Bill Gates was planning ‘Pandemic Simulations’ with Jeffrey Epstein…IN 2017.....

Because these deranged transhumanist technocrats are hellbent on eugenics and population control, which brings us to the ultimate in socially engineered lifelong sex organ mutilation and a form of slow depopulation that ensures that these mentally unstable and confused body dysmorphia individuals become BlackRock patients for life via the Medical-Industrial Complex that only answers to the Fourth Branch of Government in the Intelligence-Industrial Complex that the likes of Gates and Epstein serve...

https://x.com/FatEmperor/status/2018040393842270452...

And here is the last honest politician in America and true hero calling it like it is:

Thomas Massie: "...I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is gonna get embarrassed because he went to rape island. How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup..."

This continues to be just the tip of the iceberg, and what will soon be revealed is going to shock the world even more…

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/update-3-epstein-files-horror-show

Jacquijacq's avatar

I cant call Massie a hero because when he can’t get 100% of what he wants, he votes NO on the 60%, offered thereby siding w Dems and destroying any hope of Trump’s EOs becoming law. He needs to stop that

MaryAnn's avatar

Jacqui: I agree. Tim Burchett of TN often complains about the bs in bills, negotiations, etc. but he has a realistic view of how to do business in DC. Massie would do well to take note. Tim always ends his posts with “Thank y’all for sending me here.” ❤️❤️❤️

Massie is either a grandstander or delusional concerning the extent of his ability to influence policy.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

No way I would believe what Epstein says about others. And I'm not entirely sure about Second Smartest Guy, either. Epstein's entire life (not to mention his death) was a lie. No way is it even plausible that Rubio a funder of the Steele Dossier: 1) Rubio isn't that stupid, and 2) This time around Trump's cabinet picks were extremely carefully vetted. Sorry, but not buying it unless there is irrefutable proof.

CStone's avatar

2nd smartest guy has a severe case of TDS. And those on here bad-mouthing MAGA are as infected with STDS as well

STDS:

Systemic-Trump-Derangement-Syndrome. (Someone on here more clever than I came up with that. And STDS does not respond well to the Truth. Truth may even cause an uptick in the disease.)

Politico Phil's avatar

The opposite of that is the Superman Syndrome or what I like to call a Savior On A White Horse syndrome. This is something Jeff warned us about a long time ago. Trump is neither of those things.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

I agree with both of those: TDS and the Superman Syndrome. Even more, I know that God has used flawed men to further His plan since the Creation, with the exception of One who was not flawed in the least.

And even he cannot turn this country around without the help of the ONE, the true Almighty God of both heaven and earth, because of the infestation of RATS.

Politico Phil's avatar

You've got it backwards. God is not the one who "helps" our efforts. God is the judge of our efforts and it is He who determines the outcomes of our efforts. Our responsibility is to decide which side we are fighting on: His or Man's. God imposes the consequences. He is both Law Giver and Judge.

Man proposes but God disposes.

CStone's avatar

Yeah. He has gone full Somalian IQ level stupid.

Politico Phil's avatar

Certainly one email cannot be considered proof. And one cannot know what the purpose of the email was for. It is but a breadcrumb in the trail of investigation.

SHug's avatar

Based on reports, it is accurate that the initial research that eventually led to the Steele dossier was funded by a donor who supported Marco Rubio during the 2016 Republican primaries, but not by Rubio's campaign directly.

The Funding Source: The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website funded by Republican mega-donor Paul Singer—a supporter of Marco Rubio—hired the firm Fusion GPS in fall 2015 to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump.

The Transition: The Free Beacon terminated its relationship with Fusion GPS in May 2016 when Trump became the presumptive nominee.

The Dossier: After the Free Beacon stopped funding, the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hired the law firm Perkins Coie, which in turn hired Fusion GPS to continue the research. It was at this point that Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele to compile the dossier.

Key Distinction: The Free Beacon maintained that it had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for it, and never had contact with Christopher Steele.

Rubio's Position: Marco Rubio denied any involvement, stating, "If I had anything against Donald Trump that was relevant and credible and politically damaging, I would've used it. I didn't have it".

In summary, a conservative site funded by a donor supporting Rubio initiated research into Trump, but the specific, dossier-producing work conducted by Steele was funded by Democrats later in the election cycle.

Oh the tangled webs they weave.

Richard Whitney's avatar

What gets me is people running around gleefully asserting that Trump isn't implicated. I'm sorry, his admin and Biden's sat on these files - files that contain the most disgusting and heinous crimes one can imagine. I hope anyone who knew about this rots in hell.

JasonT's avatar

Trump's admin started the investigation and built the file. You may recall he was somewhat preoccupied for those 4 years. Biden had the files unencumbered for 4 years and did nothing with them except search diligently for some reference to Trump. Sure, they are the same...

Johnny-O's avatar

Did I call them the same? Nope - partisan blinders make it hard to have rational discussions. People who knew about these crimes and sat on them deserve to rot in hell.

Instead of ad hominem attacks, suggest discussing known facts.

Politico Phil's avatar

I identify with your reaction. I can't read Trump's mind so I reserve judgement. But we have to recognize that the Epstein Files are a strategic asset in a larger war.

I will say it does not appear that Trump is so much as implicated in a massage in the files. But plenty of billionaires are. I suspect the perp walks will eventually be forthcoming. Again, this is part of a larger war and I cannot guess how Trump and Co are going to deploy their weapons.

daverkb's avatar

I hope for prosecutions but I am not holding my breath. The Epstein data is too tempting a weapon and it is being used as a weapon, just like Venezuela was and is being used as a weapon to serve notice. And just look how fast Panama changed its tune on the two ports being run by China. And how Mexico seems to be changing tune on giving the cartels a free pass under cover of a pretend claim to sovereignty (still watching to see how this one progresses).

And so, I ask? Taking down Mandelson, who does this serve notice to? And how does this affect The City which Never Sleeps (London) and the balance of power of financial block opponents in the ongoing Western World power struggle. Mandelson by implication spills over into everything else, both directly and indirectly, and even over into who controls the Fed.

And just think, Lord Fairy Mandelson? Taken down by a pair of underwear? There must be a tale of hubris in there somewhere?

Tio Nico's avatar

And I think this sort o result is the best part o the whole Eppstein gig. Watcing the vermin scrambling to get back out o the light is hilarious, and sweet revenge. Many o these cockroaches are outing themselves.

I also think Trump's handling o the whoe sordid mess is precisely the bes way. He played the game so long people were begging and pleading to release the whole shebang. Now itw out here, to taking i back, the krieg lights are ON and will NOT shut down until the whole jar o sleaze is poured out so all can see. The cockroaches are outing themselves, voluntarily. Quite posssibly one o the greaest shakeups in history.

Massie is a joke. Lots of big talk, but he’s just a Never-Trumper RINO. IMO, he seized upon the “Epstein files” in the hopes that he could “get Trump”. He and crazy MTG stood on the floor of Congress and promised to read the “Epstein list” — as if there really ever was an actual “list”. MTG has been exposed as a RINO, and is now making the rounds on all the libtard shows (like The View) saying anything it takes to get applause from the libs. What a phony!! I’ve already donated to Massie’s primary opponent, and I don’t even live in his state.

Jeff C's avatar

And this is exactly why the MAGA base went nuts when PDJT tried to stonewall the Epstein files release. I'm sure he had good reasons, but we want the truth no matter where it leads. These demons must be exposed.

First off kudos to Epstein himself for personally validating every "antisemitic" trope regarding Jewish behavior. This guy checked all the boxes including referring to non-Jews as goyim and cattle, and chortling about how easy and rewarding it is to screw Gentiles over. Lots of like-minded fellow ethnics in his emails were all to happy to share his contempt of White Christians, viewing them as pawns to be manipulated.

Second, notice how there aren't any "antisemites" (as smeared by the media and groups like the ADL) in the Epstein files? Funny how people who object to the ideology of Jewish supremacy that the demonic pedo Epstein espoused, didn't want anything to do with him. Those who refuse to participate (often due to their deep Christian faith - e.g. Mel Gibson, Tucker Carlson) get targeted for destruction. And yes, the homosexual Lord Mandelson that Jeff Childers discussed today was fiercely Jewish, even editing the Jewish Chronicle at one point. Hmmm, another coincidence.

Third, Alex Jones and Vox Day were exactly right about who exactly rules us. There truly is a tight-knit cabal of Satan-worshipping homosexual pedos at the heights of power, who willingly sold their souls. At its heart is a burning hatred of Christ and His Church. As Jones has stated, all of the associated institutions (Hollywood, the media, music, pop culture) are corrupted and complicit, and with few exceptions no one makes it in these demonic industries unless they take the ticket.

Yet their are still people who say this is all a conspiracy theory. There are still people that don't see this is a demonic coordinated attempt to destroy Western Christian morality through the promotion of unbridled debauchery and degeneracy. They will still binge on the latest slop from Netflix and cheer the NBA like the good little brainwashed cattle that they are.

Wake up people, accept Christ, attend a solid Bible teaching church, and get this putrid garbage out of your house. How many more signs do you need?

CStone's avatar

PDJT slowed them down because they were watching for the Deep State actors who were inserting fake info into the documents to hurt innocent people and victims.

They caught some of them, but it is pretty obvious they didn’t catch them all. The entries are different enough for those who are better at spotting fake entries.

I think they will now be able to reach in and find the desiccated hands who made the fake entries they initially missed and they will pay for their treasonous acts.

Jeff C's avatar

Perhaps, PDJT has shown us over and over that he is the master of creating leverage for himself, so your theory makes sense.

But we know powerful people were lobbying Trump behind the scenes to not release them. That's why MAGA has to lobby him regarding OUR interests. Trump is brilliant but he's still human. If he only hears from one side it gives him a distorted view of reality. Our job is to make sure he always hears our side.

Since Satan, dear brother Jayson, is having a heyday over the past 40 years, I'm believing he knows his 'time' is drawing nigh to be DESTROYED....remember...to YAHWEH 1,000 years is as 1 day!! So...it's only been a bit over TWO DAYS that Yeshua left planet earth to return to His heavenly home!!

We, who have accepted salvation by FAITH through the GRACE of Jehovah Jireh are awaiting our "Deliverer" from the scathing debauchery of unrepentant humans. However, we are still 'sinful, finite humans' and have the potential to do evil - the potential is stymied by the workings of the Holy Spirit who indwells us as soon as we are saved to the uttermost. What glorious deliverance we experience when 'tempted' by the evil deceiver of humankind!!!

Yes - Here are 2 takes on the threat we face by continuing to poke the Iran bear, while downplaying the importance of the Epstein files.

The 2 stories -- the pending war we are likely to start up again with Iran, and the Epstein files -- are closely related. I cannot improve on the way Mike Adams, aka The Health Ranger on X, summarized the situation right now:

https://x.com/HealthRanger/status/2017468809674723694#:~:text=ANALYSIS:%20It%20seems,charge%20at%20all.

As to those who want to push the Epstein matter to the side (or, as our Pres likes to call it now, a 'hoax') here's another great poster -- Dr. Simone Goddek (@goddek on X) summarizes why that's wrong.

Btw - both these guys are 100% accurate on the Covid and Vax lies, but for some reason, get dismissed because they are not 100% loyal to Trump, even when Trump is dead wrong.

All of your sources exist after the Bible, which is God's word, which mentions Jesus as Son of God. Not a demonic name. And, how can you be a Christian if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, other than as a demon?

Sir Jeff Morency, Ph.D.'s avatar

The one who gave His life to save sinners was/is named Yashuah. The demon that Pastor Ken Thornberg tried to cast out was named "jesus". Go read "Fossilized Customs by Lew White to get educated.

Your Christian Bible is a pagan document, designed for you to worship demons. If you want God's word, get "The Scriptures" form the Scripture Research Institute. It has not been paganized. "Fossilized Customs" is also published by them.

Sir Jeff Morency, Ph.D.'s avatar

Yashuah (Jesus in your pagan Christian Bible) said 3 places in your Bible that He is NOT God. Go read it. GOD has a name, spelled YOD, HEY, VAV, HEY. It is pronounced "YAHVEH" in every language. His name is in "The Scriptures". That is who I pray to, just like Yashuah did. And, Yashuah told His followers to pray to Him.

Tio Nico's avatar

Peter was the little pebble, but his solid believing and trust in Jesus as the Chist IS The rock upin which JESUS will build His church.. Note well, the construction o the sentence clearly shows JESUS is the One doing the building. NOT Peter or any other man.

My background> Cradle catholic, baptised at six weeks, conphirmed at 8, altar boy (in latin) over about a decade, catholic education kindergarten through second year university, one year seminary.

I saw through the charade when I realised it did not really change ME, I was still the wretch I had always been. Telling the guy in the box what Id done "bad" every week brought no cure or change. The list was always the same, I was powerless to cure it. At 27 I met Jesus and surrendered. Everyhing has changed since.

Concerned mom's avatar

because catholics don't understand this, and they continue to perpetrate a HUGE error... Jesus is the ROCK and Peter, a small pebble.... Does it truly make sense that God would build His church upon a mere man??? If that were true, WOW! what a gia-normous burden to carry....more like a punishment.

At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They reply that some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, or one of the prophets. Then He asks, "But who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answers, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus blesses Peter, affirming that this revelation came from God the Father. He declares, "You are Peter, and on this rock (this REVELATION of who Jesus is - Messiah, Son of the Living God) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. "

if Jesus was building His church on Peter, why would Jesus rebuke Peter as Satan a few minutes later?

I remember a pastor saying that Jesus is 'The Rock ' and that Peters name could more thought of as 'Peter the pebble' 😁 A chip off the old block? - quite an honour! 🙏

Heads up long time C & C readers! Remember Jeff's story about the 'illegal garden hose' in Reedly California that led to the discovery of an illegal biolab? Well, the SAME LLC was noted in the public records for a house raided in Las Vegas, said to be another illegal biolab!

https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/las-vegas-bio-lab-raid-possibly-tied-to-california-case-federal-chinese-investigation/

Police and the FBI searched the home on Saturday, Jan. 31, finding a “possible biological laboratory,” including “refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids,” police said.

Shortly before 6 a.m., a Metro SWAT team served a search warrant at the home on Sugar Springs Drive near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard to search for a possible “biological laboratory” inside the home. A second location was also searched, but no lab was located.

An LLC tied to the home’s county records matches the name of a company that is part of an ongoing federal case in California involving a biological laboratory there. In that case, a Chinese citizen faces federal charges for allegedly manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices, according to federal prosecutors.

If only all doctors would want to first, do no harm, the trans case would never have occurred. No good doctor would allow a healthy child who can’t even sign their informed consent to get a double mastectomy.

So, when did doctors stop caring about the Hippocratic Oath to First, Do No Harm: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/first-do-no-harm

Carrie's avatar

As a doctor (general trauma and acute care surgeon - basically operate on people who need emergency surgery), I believe many are so propagandized by the main stream medical literature telling them to affirm things like delusional gender ideology, that they think they are doing no harm. Add to that $$$, then every teenage girl struggling with her identity needs harmful drugs and a mastectomy. It’s cult like behavior… similar to the worship of vaccines.

I feel very alone in my profession, and it has worsened over the past 5-10 years. I tried to speak out and take action at the beginning of covid, and was threatened, and had to change to more subversive guerrilla tactics to work against the wrongs of the medical industrial complex.

Thank you for your work Carrie. Surgeons are the top of the heap in my book bc they are looking to cure or fix something. Not just medicate some symptom. Mainstream medical education needs a massive change as they are also completely captured by the woke mind virus. To think that both the AMA & Amer Pediatric Assoc endorsed gender surgery and care!!! -----that's marxist woke ideology and the furthest thing from science, and agreed, they are part of a large cult. There are more people in medicine that are on your side than you know-----when the cabal threatens your career & livelihood, many had to go underground, but they are still believers in real science. ----when they censor people to stop any anti-regime speech, you're under a totalitarian control regime. Obama x2, Biden x1.

Perhaps if the malpractice insurance companies would stipulate that they will not defend you for any "gender reassignment treatment" to minors, it might discourage doctors from taking the risk. When it's their own money on the line, they might be more thoughtful and cautious.

mspring's avatar

As these lawsuits continue successfuly (as Jeff certainly anticipates) I expect that insurance companies will adjust their covered practices accordingly. Plus discouraging the likelihood of these perpetrators getting any new coverage. Follow the money. Insurance companies are businesses; businesses exist to make money.

Is it any wonder? The Hippocratic Oath isn’t made to Hippocrates, it’s made to the god Apollo, whose name literally means “The Destroyer” and whom the Apostle John says is the King of the Abyss, the leader of the First Woe in Revelation 9. “In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.”

Interesting FEF. Reminds me of:

Rain Man: A demonic entity that corrupts in exchange for money.

Regarding the PREP Act, social conditioning, predictive programming, normalization:

The Film Rain Man Was Likely Forged to Pre-Program the Populace For the Upcoming Explosion in Vaccine Induced Autism.

1986: Congress Grants Immunity Shield to Vaccine Makers for Venom Injection Damage | Film Rain Man Begins Production

1988: Rain Man Released to Educate, Condition, & Normalize Autism

1986—2025: Number of vaccines administered explodes to 78 - and rising - from birth to two years of age. Autism diagnoses explode right along with them.

Before the film few even knew what the term meant because it was so rare it was seldom reported. Much more here -> https://tritorch.substack.com/p/autism-pre-conditioning-and-normalization

FlatEarthFlyer's avatar

In reality, I think very few things in life are coincidence or accident. There’s a theory that there are only two kinds of history, accidental and conspiratorial, and I’m guessing it’s more the latter. But even the Bible itself is the story of the biggest conspiracy in the history of the universe. God creates everything, including the spiritual entities of Jesus and the angels, then some angels mutiny and are kicked out of heaven and exiled to Earth where they wreak havoc for perhaps millions/billions of years, eventually God says “that’s enough” and puts His image on Earth in the form of Adam in an effort to rescue the Earth and regain control, a reptilian entity corrupts the divine genome of Adam and apparently vows to eradicate God’s Image from the face of the Earth, God tells Moses what His people need to do to stem/heal the corruption of His Image (Torah), but humans are ultimately incapable of obeying Him so He sends Jesus to Earth to “vaccinate” (redeem) His Imagers with his blood, which further enrages and confounds God’s enemies, who (unbeknownst to humans) step up their game to destroy all those who possess the Image. And who are those who DON’T possess the Image? "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? ... Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit." You can’t pick grapes (yum!) from thornbushes (ouch!) or figs (yum!) from thistles (ouch!) because they literally have DIFFERENT DNA.

Thanks for this timely reminder. Lobotomies (“it only takes ten minutes”), hysterectomies, electric shock treatment, thalidomide were insidious - but God knows what over-medication, opioids, psychiatric drugs, and especially mRNA vaccines have done to our minds and bodies. Right now it appears that most large Pharma companies exist only to make massive amounts of money so they can buy off politicians, so they can make even more money.

Once a corrupt scheme gets so large, it seems like it’s impossible to perceive or acknowledge, or even believe what is happening, much less take immediate action to stop it, and punish the perps.

Imagine someone telling you that the cure for all your problems and depression is simply to cut off your breasts. What is wrong with these people? That doesn’t make a single bit of logical sense whatsoever. Good to see a lawsuit is won. Once enough lawsuits are won, trust me, this practice will end. It won’t be because the perpetrators will recognize their evil, rather, they will be sick of paying money for their evil acts. Anyone who screws with kids is evil to the core. I find the whole idea of mutilating children absolutely nauseating, as any sane person would.

Cindi's avatar

You also have to wonder what the PARENTS - whose natural instinct should be to protect their child - were / are thinking. I can see it as a tough row to hoe if the child believes they’re the opposite sex w/ backup & pressure from the formerly trusted “medical establishment”, but there was little-to-none of such nonsense (“gender affirming care”) until a decade or 2 ago.

The default should be that the kid can do whatever they want when they reach the age of majority, but until then, Johnny is Johnny & Lisa is Lisa.

RunningLogic's avatar

I think the therapists and/or counselors manipulate the parents by telling them their child will take their own life if they don’t get this “care” 😕

Juju's avatar

They KNOW their services will continue to be needed, so, ensuring continued business and all that

Cindi's avatar

What can I say? I’m 68 & was an older mother when I had my boys @ age 36 & 39. Tough love & all that. I was also the daughter & granddaughter of doctors (when “do no harm” meant something) & in the medico-legal 41 years until my recent retirement. I would never have believed any of that bullshit from an “expert”. I also know that most psychs are batshit crazy themselves so I probably wouldn’t have gone that route, either. I think I would’ve just told little Johnny or Lisa to suck it up to age 18 & then have at it. With a final comment that no matter what they did, I’d continue to “dead name” them 😂

RunningLogic's avatar

Oh I would have that reaction too but the schools and medical community and the state have worked together in many places to absolutely neuter the ability of parents to make such decisions 😕

Elizabeth Burns's avatar

I think a lot of them spout the same nonsense unfortunately 😕 But yes It would definitely be worth a second (or third or fourth) opinion. A lot of parents seem to be reluctant to challenge the “experts” though 😕

Essay33's avatar

I have never dealt with transgender ideology but I have dealt with a child who had a disability completely foreign to me and for whom various doctors asserted "this is what we must do." I was 23 a new mom and scared and just wanted them to help her. It took a lot of courage to fight them on some things that just seemed too much/too risky. And they were not telling me she'd kill herself. I have a lot of sympathy for parents being overwhelmed by medical authority, especially before Covid. Doctors have long wielded way too much psychogical power over us lesser mortals, their "God complex" is often quite real (Fauci) and it's past time we publicly destroy it.

Barnjai's avatar

"Before Covid." That's the words that stood out to me. You really were brave to stand up to "educated" doctors. I would never have done that before Covid but we are so much wiser now.

Or below. Oops! Eh. I will just paste, it's easier. "Don't underplay the almost God-like power we bestowed on our doctors before COVID.

I have been out of whack ever since. ( That is not correct medical terminology but you get my meaning. ;) I didn't research the odds of that cancer until long after, nor did I apply objective reasoning _ should I also remove a kidney to avoid cancer?

In some states the kid gets removed from unwilling parents to proceed with the “care”. It’s a racket.

Cookie Dee's avatar

I have close knowledge of a parent that consented. They were told by the doctor their kid would commit suicide if they didn’t consent. Scare tactics, lies of Satan and spiritually blinded parents who now regret believing the lie. There kid is still mentally ill and lives at home. Such a sad situation.

@Cindi- could very well be Fox's mental illness(es) came from Mom who was probably undiagnosed.

A lot of parents are manipulated by the "do this or your kid will commit suicide" narrative that these quacks were pushing. Based on some _really_ flawed study that had a bias toward pushing this craziness.

And yeah - this was "being a tomboy" or "not liking sports" not too long ago. It wasn't fueled by crazy guidance counselors, teachers, and parents who wanted to have bragging rights. :(

Once enough lawsuits are won, they will be unable to buy malpractice insurance. That is what will end it.

Gender affirming means gender erasing. Though of course it cannot be erased, only obscured.

RunningLogic's avatar

Yes!! That is a great way of phrasing it! We need to use that instead of “gender affirming.” I also think we need to keep saying it’s body mutilation.

Camille Swanson's avatar

Well the money likely isn’t coming out of their pockets, but enough of these lawsuits awarding the plaintiff will skyrocket their malpractice insurance which will make the insurance unaffordable. Let the dominos begin!

FourWinds's avatar

You are right and I’m so sorry that happened to you. Yes, our society puts doctors on a pedestal and that has been happening for a long time. My parents trusted them blindly and I won’t go near one. So many people follow what a doctor says whether it is logical or needed. I think that’s more society conditioning than someone choosing not the think. The gender nonsense is another animal altogether: how anyone can call that “health care” is beyond me. Someday society will see it for the evil it is.

Maybe sometime back in history, doctors tried to help people heal. That is not the case any more. With an exception of antibiotics, I don’t see them curing a darn thing.

Fraulein Zen's avatar

I am in Tasmania now - if you want some gorgeous photos, head to my Substack! - and I think the medical care might be marginally better. Still western, but more relaxed. My doctor here is from Nigeria and laughs most of the appointment at all of my questions. He'll say GEENIE! We are not big pharma here! And he took me OFF two meds and asked why I was taking them. One was to slow my heart down and one was a diuretic. He said - but GEENEEE! You don't have a heart problem! Yes, I know. Let's stop them. ;) And he also spent extra time answering questions. Quite the change from the lab one week, and a ten minute appointment, if that, the next week so that my doctor or his PA can read the results to me and tell me what pills I need.

I am also seeing several alternative practitioners, which are covered under my Tasmanian health care. Acupuncture is doing a lot more for my stress than visiting my old US doctor, that's for sure! (Unless you count trying to force me onto an SSRI. Ugh.)

FourWinds's avatar

Acupuncture is amazing! Once I am off work for good (in about a week) I want to go back to getting that. It WORKS. I’m glad you found someone to help you that was not pushing drugs!

I will definitely check out your photos. ❤

If you’re new here, Jeff publishes a tremendous amount of content with very few mistakes.

Maybe tennis years are like dog years. I’m sure it’s really hard to play at 38 the level of a 22 year old in a sport like tennis. Without getting injured!

i am surprised more people hadn’t commented here that Sinner is #2 & has been for quite a few months now. Alcaraz is #1.

(Except cookie Dee noticed)!

I am a recent tennis fan for maybe 1.5 years but anyone vaguely watching tennis would know alcaraz is at the top right now.

Yesterday I was perusing Substack and came across a Democratic one. At first I thought it was a parody. The commenters are very clear that they consider anyone who voted for the President to be a racist who needs to be killed or put in prison. These people have a completely different idea of reality than I do.

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

And it's not reality. But then again, they also probably think that 2020 there was a novel deadly virus that decimated all of society regardless of age or health.

CitizenA's avatar

And in the alleged water main break we saw them run these same “hidden under table ballots” run through the counting machine multiple times. It’s all on video so why was this not a nationwide outrage and why didn’t the Supreme Court accept this case? I’m so sick of corruption and a two tiered justice system; without true justice American is finished.

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

There were a couple of cases the Supreme Court did not take, allegedly because there would be too many personal consequences. The Constitution is the Constitution and should be upheld regardless of any unintended consequences that occur from enforcing it. Easy for me to say as I am not a Supreme Court justice, but isn't that the point? These are supposed to be the best of the best, and they can't stomach the threat of violence?

I tried to get "independent" (sneer quotes) from ChatGPT on chlorine dioxide. It came back with all sorts of dire warnings, "proof" of danger and ineffectiveness. All while ignoring reports of using this compound at low dosage. For me, the jury is still out.

As a chemist, I have grave doubts about it being "highly selective" in going after pathogens and not every cell it encounters. Doesn't make chemical sense to me.

But I'm all for ramping up studies of such...and we're talking about in vitro studies, live cells in a "petri dish", not animal studies. So should be quick to set up and run such studies.

I'm also keenly interested in whether the reports of Ivermectin effects on cancers and general immune system health will trigger widespread, high quality studies. I hope RFK Jr gets on board for such studies.

Chlorine Dioxide is fantastic. Use as a mouthwash, veterinary wound gel on my pets and myself. Brush my teeth with it too. Read Dr. Kory's book and his SS articles on it. Amazing stuff. Jim Humble has a wonderful book on it too.

Awesome resources are included at the back of the War on Ivermectin book. Everything you need to make it, buy it, and use it. History, testimonials. I’m using it right now. You can combine with DMSO too.

Do you use DMSO Janet? I bought some after a ton of research to see if it could help with Raynaud’s but i’ve been afraid to try it.

Sue Thompson's avatar

I use DMSO. My thoughts are when it works, it REALLY works, like a lot of homeopathic remedies. They often do nothing for me, but I have friends who swear by them. I have been using DMSO on the spider veins on my legs for many months; I am detecting a lessening but it's not a miracle yet. I rub my gums with DMSO and will see if my dentist comments in a few weeks. I used DMSO on a suture on my dog that the vet was concerned wasn't healing properly; within a few days it was fully closed. I've used it on burns and insect bites with satisfying results. I also use DMSO eyedrops, which among other things is supposed to be effective against floaters. Why are you afraid to try it? It will either work . . . or not. It isn't like it affects your DNA or something so drastic.

Thanks for all these personal examples of how you’ve used DMSO. I guess I’m afraid of it because I’ve read that it absorbs everything in its path and goes right in your bloodstream. And since I’d be putting it on my hands, I would just have to make sure that they’re really clean before I apply it.

Based on AMD reports and many studies that show the negligible side effects (temporary stinging on sensitive skin and a very few folk who get skin issues). I tell folk to get some and try it, if it helps, great, if not, the worst you're out is the $28 you paid on amazon. I personally started topically using it for hand arthritis, it didn't help fast, but over a couple months, I realized hands don't hurt anynore, and range of motion is a bit better. Well worth the $28.

Don't be afraid. I use it all the time. 100% non-toxic in my opinion.

InquizitiveOne's avatar

I agree. I started by rubbing diluted 50/50 with distilled water DMSO on my achy parts (shoulders etc) and progressed to eventually taking a Tsp then a Tbsp daily- by mouth.

Felt great! Only side effect was bad breath, but I stopped because I didn't want to be offensive when speaking to people up close.

I absolutely would recommend trying DMSO- even if you have to dilute it 50/50 with distilled water at first. Also use glass bottles to store the diluted mixture or the pure stuff.

I've recommended it to many friends and those who tried it said it was near miraculous in pain relief!

The book Healing with DMSO by Amanda Vollmer would likely be helpful to you. Until I read it, I was afraid to use DMSO, too. Caution has often served me well and I needed to be sure I knew how to use DMSO properly.

Thank you so much for this!!

I'm not sure. On the one hand, tons of stories about the truly wonderful results. On the other hand, first, the fact that it can cross the blood/brain barrier warrants careful attention from me. As well, I've heard that it can take stuff away from affected areas but doesn't have enough power to get it out of the body, so stuff keeps circulating and can continue to accumulate over time. Furthermore, I've been told to look at it's origins, which I haven't gotten to yet.

So, no, I haven't been rushing into it yet myself.

Check out aa Midwestern Dr's blogs on substack. The DMSO is said to help with liquid crystalline water formation and has been shown to be nothing but good for the human body! Don't be scared! Try it topically on an ache and see what happens!

It worked WONDERS on my husband's toenail fungus which has plagued him for 50 years!

MnmMom's avatar

Oh wow! Very interesting! How did you apply it?

Purchased from Frontier Labs. Applied according to their directions.

I discovered by accident, that it performs much better than Chlorhexadine for human periodontal issues. But, it isn't protocol. So.

I agree. 2 words for protocol and they are not Happy Birthday.

If I’m not mistaken, isn’t that the chemical our white blood cells make to combat infection?

Yes, go see Melania. I saw it Saturday! Excellent! Well done! The classical music was so refreshing with all the noise we hear today that is called music.

Ruth H's avatar

Saw it Saturday as well. Truly enjoyed it. Our theatre attendees clapped at the end. Melania is even more beautiful when seeing her in a more natural setting. She definitely has an eye for fashion design and detail.

Laura Kasner's avatar

Ruth - the audience clapped at the showing I attended as well. 🥰

FH's avatar

We saw it yesterday, I wanted to do my bit for opening weekend. It was very well done - an understatement. Of course I loved all the obvious things: the style, the beauty, the music, the peek inside the workings of the WH etc.

What I believe really needs to be the takeaway from this documentary is how she is changing the role of First Lady. Why it has taken this long for a woman in that role to tackle the old approach, is a mystery. Her accomplishments are remarkable. And she had to make this documentary to get the word out because nobody else will.

A secondary takeaway from my POV is elevating the expectations of the public for WH occupants. Our President may use crude language & references at times, yet he will always act on his beliefs about our country; and Melania expects the best, with love of country as a guide.

I cannot think of any POTUS/FLOTUS in my lifetime (since JFK) that reflect these realities.

I thoroughly enjoyed it too.

I moved from my native Fla to Ga in Jan 2020 just in time for the Rona and the steal of the 2020 election. I wrote Kemp and Ratsberger (sp intentional) letters re the election telling them that it was illegal before it began because of Stacy Abrams and their changing laws without legislative approval.

Alan Devincentis's avatar

That’s the part that made me crazy across the nation. All the swing states were setting up for the steal, got called out on it, is against their own laws and constitutional dictates, and then nothing. WTF happened there? Why were claims labeled no standing,when the SOS’s of these states broke their own laws?

rolandttg's avatar

the Just Us system prevailed.

TDawg's avatar

Soros was successful in installing rogue judges across the nation who ruled against standing at the get go. The media chimed in, the fedsurrection took place, and we were forced to move on. Not me. I’m not moving on.

If treatments or vaccines are “safe and effective,” then doctors do NOT need liability shields.

Especially given the mileage difference. Novak has, what, 25 GS titles. Alcaraz just 7. Novak has 101 ATP Tour titles, Alcaraz one-quarter that amount. Novak is the only man to hold tennis' equivalent of the Tiger Slam.

He's been playing for 23 years...so in that regard, more than half his life. Alcaraz has been playing for just 8 years. So in that regard, Novak has been playing pro tennis three times as long.

Misdiagnosis is a great route to take because how do you prove "correct diagnosis" of "whoops, this is the answer, you were misgendered." The only way I can see to do this is to show there was a decision early on to suppress secondary sex characters in favor of others, which does happen. Otherwise it's a game of "living your truth."

I can tell you early and often I identify as a firetruck, but aside from the ability to make water, ther is no proof that I can be used in the service of putting out fires.

I can assure you that Isabella/Fox had an excellent insurance policy that ignited the whole thing.

You won’t see this happening to a cash patient.

RunningLogic's avatar

Probably why some people want government to fund these operations, then they won’t have to “exclude” cash patients 🙄

Janet's avatar

Yup. The situation i am familiar with, (a minor) insurance has paid for everything

Valerie's avatar

Interesting, can you explain?. I can’t figure out how her insurance policy would matter, but I’m sure I’m just missing something.

Penny North's avatar

Doctors make bank when there is good insurance coverage of the procedure.

A cash patient gets discounts. But a high majority of people can’t pay cash.

All these titles. Especially, sir, being knighted. I mean are British people actually impressed by that? And does the nobility, the titled people, is still hold undue influence?
