Dangerous Elitist Nonsense

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=905qoawcBuo [5:32] to hear an insane elected public official insist that she has a right to bar James O’Keefe from video recording a public meeting that is simultaneously being broadcast over Zoom where anyone can record it. While she was grumping at James, somebody else was scurrying off to call the cops on him.

And get a load of that superintendent’s $237,000/year salary! I looked up his bio. His first six years in education, he taught social studies. Then he was an assistant principal, then principal at various middle schools for ten years. And now he makes a quarter of a million dollars as superintendent of the Livingston Public Schools?! I’m guessing he also has a nifty benefits package with vacations, health plan, and pension. Nice “work” if you can get it.

His current #1 priority is wasting tax dollars on a “diversity audit” of the district aimed at “enhancing inclusiveness, cultural awareness, anti-racism and acceptance of individual differences through mandated curricular programming, extracurricular programming, and district operations.” Given that he’s a middle aged white male, I’m thinking he had better watch his back … unless “fat and overpaid” makes him a protected minority. Maybe he can put on a dress …

I looked for the auditing company, a2z equity coaching, on the internet. They claim to be “leaders” in their field. Their Facebook page has zero followers, zero likes, and nearly zero content. It does direct one to their web page, which actually does have zero content. Their Instagram page has zero posts and 41 followers. The company appears to be comprised of two Black women, Shelley Zion, Ph.D., and Janelle Alexander, Ph.D. Below are blurbs from their LinkedIn bios.

“Dr. Shelley Zion is CEO and Executive Coach at a2z Equity Coaching, Professor of Urban Education at Rowan University, and the Executive Director of the PEER (Partnerships for Educational Equity & Research) Lab. … Her research is situated within a framework of sociopolitical development, informed by a range of critical theoretical perspectives, and advanced by an understanding of the nature of both individual and systemic change. This framework requires that to impact a transformation of social systems towards goals of equity and social justice, we must work to disrupt dominant ideologies by creating spaces in which people begin to develop a critical understanding of the cultural, political, economic, and other institutional forces that perpetuate systems of privilege and oppression.” Blah blah Marxist blah.

“Dr. Janelle Alexander is an a2z Equity Coach, Consultant, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Professional, Researcher, Leadership Developer, Community Builder & Connector, and Thought Partner. … Dr. Alexander brings a wealth of experience in writing and securing government grants to obtain funding. … As a polished public speaker and instructor, Dr. Alexander excels in relating effectively to individuals from diverse backgrounds and at all levels, fostering a sense of community and connection.” So … good at sucking at the government’s teat and spinning lies so they sound warm and cozy.

If you can find time (hint: make time), CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnA_I7Yc3wg [3:02:36] to hear a three hour interview with Fr. Carlos Martins.

Also, CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2a-B4wpSYJc to hear a quick message from Father Mike about asking God for what we need.

I wasted a lot of time demanding God tell me WHY things were so hard for me. I’m thinking now that the answers to a lot of our “Why?” prayers are “You wouldn’t understand it if I told you” or maybe “None of your business.”

Anyway … the point is that I started getting better results when I stopped ranting at Him and started humbly asking Him more immediate “show me” prayers like “How do you want me to handle this?” or “What do you want me to do next about this?

One recent example … I was having a particularly bad day with my chronic illness/disability. I had finally gotten up and dressed after 2 days in bed, but I was so tired and in so much pain that I couldn’t really think of anything I wanted or needed to do. I was at my desk and prayed (whined is more like it), “What do you want me to do now?” The answer was so FAST. “Mass.” I didn’t feel like it, but I clicked CatholicTV and, wouldn’t you know, the readings were about people whining.

In the OT reading, the Israelites were sick of manna, but instead of asking God what to do, Moses went on a big long rant at God about how he’d be better off dead than having to listen to His people complain.

Then, in the NT reading, the disciples told Jesus to stop talking and send the people away to buy food for themselves and He said, “Feed them yourself.” Unlike Moses, they got it right and instead of ranting about how unreasonable Jesus was being and how difficult it was to follow Him, they asked, “How can we do that when we only have five loaves and two fish?” And Jesus showed them.

His answers are not always about praying more either. Later that same day, I was again feeling at odd ends and asked Him again what He wanted me to do. He told me to lie down and read my novel for a while.

Pete McGinnis, a spokesman for FGI, said in a statement, “How can the public be assured that the agency is ‘following the science’ on other important public health matters when it demonstrates such clear disregard for basic scientific integrity standards on an issue as important as COVID vaccine shots?

FGI also noted that Becerra is a lawyer with no background in health and that typically his department is led by doctors.

THE ROAD TO PERDITION

The following is by Mim: I was deeply involved in Tibetan Buddhism for 35 years, and now at the end of my Buddhist path I am experiencing extreme mental and physical torment. Tantric Buddhism is supposed to be a path of peace that leads to enlightenment, a state of mind both blissful and beyond suffering.

Having been raised Catholic, I had faith and devotion in Jesus Christ, but I drifted away from the church when I was 15 years old and was agnostic until I encountered Tibetan Buddhism in my early 20s. This religion placed huge emphasis on the human guru who we were supposed to venerate as a living buddha. Besides the human guru, the yidam or “meditational deity” was of paramount importance.

I now believe that Tibetan Buddhism is a classic case of “Satan appearing as an angel of light.” Many of the gurus appeared beatific and were considered to be saints. My first teacher had many charisms including clairvoyance, healing, and divination. I personally witnessed his extraordinary abilities many times.

Rigorous training was required that challenged us to the fullest extent of our abilities. We had to learn the Tibetan language, adopt the Tibetan customs and worldview, learn to play the ritual instruments, study Buddhist philosophy, do preliminary practices that involved hundreds of thousands of prostrations, purification mantras, and thousands of invocations and mantras to become yoked with the guru’s mind. I was fully brainwashed.

The guru manipulated some of his nuns into sexual relations, while deceiving them about his intentions and pretending to be in a monogamous spiritual marriage with each of them. They say the bigger the lie, the easier it is to maintain. Most believed that he was a holy being, and a completely celibate monk. I prayed to become free of being his sexual slave, and he acknowledged it, but from that point on he began cursing me.

The next two years in the retreat were a living hell. I managed to escape from him and his Buddhist center, but we had been taught that if we abandoned our Buddhist practices, we would go to the worst hell imaginable. They continued to curse me and finally the head of the lineage and another sorcerer performed a ritual of annihilation on me using an effigy. By then, many Tibetan gurus had been publicly exposed for sexual, physical, and mind control abuses of their students. The Tibetans lamas were angry and sought revenge. I was targeted because I had begun to question the entire system. Satan doesn’t give anything for free. They saw me as a risk.

The Tibetans use black magic rituals against their perceived enemies, both human and in the spirit realm. These practices were not talked about or taught to their Western disciples. We were all brainwashed to believe that the gurus were great bodhisattvas incapable of harming even a flea. During the practice of guru yoga, I prayed to become inseparable with the body, speech, and mind of my Root Guru, and from that point on, I was unknowingly possessed by him and his familiar spirit (the meditational deity). They decided I had to be destroyed, and once the ritual with the effigy was performed, my life turned into a living hell. I was burned at night, stuck with sharp objects, and attacked in my bed by demons. The guru appeared in my room night after night ordering me to commit suicide.

At that point, I was fully possessed. My mind was fed with horrific images of what they were going to do to me after I died and was reborn in their hell. Then they began attacking my body, causing my stomach to blow up in real time. Several people saw it happening. One deity, who I now know to be the python spirit of divination–the kundalini spirit, was wrapped around my torso and was constantly squeezing me in an energetic stranglehold. The squeezing was accompanied by intense burning in the stomach and chest area.

When I refused to commit suicide, they threatened to kill me by inducing a heart attack or giving me cancer. During this time, I met a young man who was also suffering from kundalini possession, but since he had been Catholic, he started praying the rosary for himself and for me. For the first time, I started to feel a little better. He encouraged me to see an exorcist.

I was so deeply brainwashed in Buddhism that the thought of returning to the Catholic church seemed impossible. But I was struck by the fact that his prayers were helping. At the same time, I came across Msgr. Rossetti’s book, “Diary of an American Exorcist.” It made a huge impression on me. I reached out to him, and he prayed with me, and I began to feel some hope and relief for the first time in a year.

He encouraged me to go to confession and return to the Catholic faith and I did this. Slowly, over time, I regained some control over my life. I am still severely oppressed, and tortured at night, but it is less than before. I can work again, and there are moments in the day when I can even feel a little happiness in the simple things of life.

I have a long way to go before I am fully healed and delivered. They still control a portion of my mind. They control my dreams and subterranean thoughts. I now understand that I made a pact with Satan and that the occult is Satan’s domain. I wish to warn anyone who is tempted to explore other religions to be extremely careful. There is only one God, and He is the God of the Holy Bible. I wish to warn others before they unwittingly become ensnared in one of Satan’s traps. I have created a website to this end.

FAUXTUS: Since taking office, Biden has spent 365 days — 39.4% of his presidency — on vacation. And people used to criticize Obama and Trump for playing golf. It’s pretty clear that Joe Biden is not the de facto POTUS.

ILLINOIS: A couple of weeks ago, Gov. Pritzker signed the “Deceptive Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers Act” into law. The new law targets pro-life pregnancy centers and pro-life speech outside of abortion centers; up to $50,000 in fines await violators of the act. The Thomas More Society immediately filed a lawsuit which has resulted in a federal judge overturning the law, saying it “is painfully and blatantly a violation of the First Amendment.”

MEDIA: CNN must have gotten the word from the elites who actually run the Democratic Party. Biden is done. CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1687146111918645259 [:43] to hear CNN report that “more people trust congressional Republicans than President Biden.” CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1687144017769721856 [:20] to hear CNN report that Trump’s approval rating at this point was higher than Biden’s is now.

NEONATAL VACCINES: A newly published, peer-reviewed study shows that the nations that require the most neonatal vaccine doses tend to have the worst mortality rates in children under age 5. The U.S. schedule (graphic) shows only the newborn shots; the rest of the schedule (link below) was too long to screenshot.

One of the researchers noted that nations that administer hepatitis B and tuberculosis (BCG) vaccines to their infants shortly after birth “had significantly worse infant mortality rates when compared to nations that require neither vaccine.” So, we protect babies from diseases they’re unlikely to encounter until much later in life, if ever, and kill them in the process? Yeah, no.

I am so grateful for the doctor who helped me sort through the too-many-for-my-comfort vaccines recommended in the ‘80s, which was a lot less than they recommend now. His rule of thumb for choosing which ones were worth the risk of injecting included the history of the vaccine’s safety, the prevalence of the disease, and the dangers and treat-ability of the disease. As I recall, we decided on polio, DPT, and MMR.

Even then, one of my kids suffered a vaccine injury from the pertussis vaccine. Before the jab, she had been in the 50th percentile for height and weight, but two months after, she had grown so little that she had dropped into the 5th percentile. Her pediatrician not only refused to admit the vaccine had caused her Failure to Thrive, but actually accused me of not feeding her! We found ourselves a new pediatrician and I required the DT only vaccine for all their boosters.

Later, I learned the pertussis vaccine was modified to make it safer, which methinks wouldn’t have been done if it had not caused injuries in the first place.

VAXXX: A new study reported on a one year evaluation of 40 children (12 to 18 yo) who had experienced heart inflammation after the ‘rona jab. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or cardiac MRIs, showed abnormal results in 26, with 19 exhibiting signs of scarring. These kids had another follow-up cardiac MRIs at least five months after the initial tests at which point 15 (58%) had still showed scarring. residual late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The one patient without an initial scan also had mild late gadolinium enhancement when scanned during a follow-up visit. The researchers note that “there exists a potential long-term effect on exercise capacity and cardiac functional reserve during stress.”

Dr. Peter McCullough, an American cardiologist, said that the new data is consistent with what cardiologists are seeing in clinical practice. “COVID-19 vaccines should be pulled from the market immediately until further notice. Large scale research programs should be commissioned immediately on subclinical and clinical COVID-19 vaccine induced myocarditis with initial aims at risk stratification and mitigation for cardiac arrest.

The police pursued, eventually blocking the roadway and stopping the semi. SWAT and hostage negotiators stepped in.

I have a horrible memory from when I was about 8 yo. My family was visiting New York City and, while we were waiting on the subway platform, I suddenly had this intense thought or impulse to throw myself on to the third rail. I was so scared! I crammed my body into an I-beam support, on the side away from the platform, and pressed my body against it until the subway came. Once we got on the train, I was okay.

Something similar happened again about thirty years later when I suddenly had a similarly intense thought or impulse to stab myself with a kitchen knife. I went into my office, which was as far from the kitchen knives as I could get and sat on my office chair backwards, clinging to the back of the chair as hard as I could until it stopped. I see now that both these times, I was under demonic assault.

The land purchases go right up to the fence around Travis Air Force Base, which is home to the largest wing of the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command. Despite an 18-month investigation into the land sales, the U.S. Air Force’s Foreign Investment Risk Review Office has not been able to determine who is behind Flannery Associates.

And to make things even more skeezy, the company has filed a lawsuit against the farmers for allegedly conspiring to inflate the prices of their farms, which many did not want to sell. It seems likely they’re trying to bankrupt the farmers who can’t afford to hire lawyers.

In moves that seem long overdue, to say the least, U.S. senators recently approved a measure in the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia from purchasing U.S. farmland and would screen American investment in high-tech ventures on foreign adversary soil. Also, U.S. Reps. Mike Thompson (R-Calif.) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) recently introduced legislation to strengthen and expand protections around national security sites, critical infrastructure, and farmland.

ROTTEN APPLE: I am so grateful to hear there is now a church doing Perpetual Adoration of the Holy Eucharist in New York City, the abortion capital of the United States. Before Roe v. Wade, New York passed the most permissive abortion law in America and, overnight, a new industry materialized in New York City, promoting itself to women across the country. Today, 10% of all abortions in America occur in New York State, with 70% of those occurring in New York City. In absolute terms, there are more abortions performed on minors, more repeat abortions, and more late abortions (over 21 weeks) in New York City than anywhere else in the country. In parts of the city, the ratio of abortions to births is one to one.

DEMOCRATS: The official account of the Missouri Democrat Party responded to this tweet with, “The roof, the roof, the roof is on [fire] we don’t need no water, let the ‘insert your word,’ burn! #VoteBlue2024.” The tweet was later deleted, but not before screenshots were taken. So much for the party of love and tolerance.

FAUCI: Senator Rand Paul [R-KY] says he has sent an “official criminal referral” to the Justice Department about Tony Fauci. Since “a congressional criminal referral is a non-binding communication to the DOJ”, I’m not holding my breath.

GENDER SCIENCE: Fake scientist Neil Degrasse Tyson has professed his belief in the pretend world of pretend genders. CLICK https://twitter.com/ChoooCole/status/1686232836720967681 [2:25] to hear detransitioner Chloe Cole respond to his idiotic video.

DeGrasse Tyson earned a BA in Physics at Harvard, then went to the University of Texas-Austin to pursue a doctorate. His doctoral committee offered him an MA in Astronomy and suggested he find an alternate career before booting him out of the doctoral program. Later, he went to Columbia where he was able to score an MPhil and a PhD in Astrophysics.

The reason I mention his credentials is that, like Bill Nye, he has primarily made his living talking about, rather than doing science. And, since trans activists claim that only Biologists and Medical Doctors have any right to have an opinion about trans issues, I’m thinking Neil should shut up about … well, just about everything.

CLICK https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1612859907925053454 [1:37] to hear DeGrasse Tyson flip out about somebody saying individuals should have the choice whether or not to take the ‘rona jab. Everything he says has been proven 100% wrong.

JACK SMITH: Smith is the special counsel appointed by AG Garland to head up the DOJ’s investigation of Trump. On July 31, Smith’s team filed a statement with the court admitting they had not, in fact, all Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to Mr. Trump’s defense attorneys, as required by law. This is known as a Brady rule violation.

The Washington Examiner reports that Smith “has a mixed track record handling investigations into major political figures.” From 2010 until early 2015, Smith led a team of 30 prosecutors who specialized in public corruption cases throughout the U.S.

  1. Their conviction of former Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) was unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court.
  2. Their attempt to nail former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) ended in a hung jury and mistrial.
  3. They convicted former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ-1), who was pardoned by President Trump saying Renzi had been “wrongly convicted by a Department of Justice that engaged in witness tampering, illegal wiretapping, and gross prosecutorial misconduct.” Kinda like that recent Brady rule violation …
  4. Their attempt to convict Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) ended in a hung jury and mistrial.

OHIO: Cuyahoga County uses taxpayer dollars to fund a trans youth center called “Colors+.” The center offers drag tutorials in collaboration with Drag Queen Story Hour Cleveland, another LGBTQ+ organization.

SOUTH AFRICA: On Saturday, 90,000 black people gathered in a stadium to chant about killing white people. On Sunday, four black teens invaded a white-owned farm, tortured the owners, slit the man’s throat, then stole cash, guns, and a car. The wife managed to run to a neighbor’s house and call the police, leading to a chase that ended in the perpetrators crashing and the thugs being apprehended.

Joel Abbott summarizes, “In an effort to erase the wrongs of apartheid, where blacks and whites were segregated, South Africa wrote some of the fundamental concepts of Critical Race Theory into its constitution in the 1990s. As a result, a developed nation with high standards of living has slowly devolved into chaos, with each new problem being blamed on white people. Calls to violence have increased. …

Marxism is based on jealousy and victimhood. It starts by blaming another group for all the wrongs in the world. … Eventually, you change your laws and society to allow you to kill that group of people and take their stuff. But once that group of people is gone, a new scapegoat is needed. The perpetual revolution requires constant blood. You end up with a country where no one has food, no one trusts each other, and no one has any freedom.”

TRUMP: From the Babylon Bee – “As news dropped that former President Donald Trump was facing a third federal indictment, Democrats were quick to explain that no American citizen is above the law they only selectively enforce. …

In order to make the disparate enforcement of the law less confusing, the Department of Justice announced they will build a new, two-tiered office building for prosecuting people of differing political parties.”
