An Identity Crisis at the ACLU Leads It to Discard the First Amendment

Few organizations have contributed more to the disorder of American politics and jurisprudence than the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Its defense of subversive causes served to undermine freedom.

However, now the organization is targeted by chaos from within. Its members are calling it structurally racist. Indeed, the world of “woke” is coming for the ACLU with a vengeance.

A Carefully Crafted Image

Since its origin in 1920, the ACLU claims to carry the banner of the First Amendment of the Constitution. Its philosophy might be summarized by Voltaire’s famous quotation, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Thus, the ACLU’s causes included anarchy, Communism, pornography and sodomy. At the same time, it built a façade of impartiality by legally defending the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi groups.

The ACLU’s first executive director, Roger Baldwin, embodied the ACLU mission. He was imprisoned as a “conscientious objector” during World War I. By his admission, he fell under the influence of the Anarchist Emma Goldman and joined the radical union, Industrial Workers of the World. In 1927, he wrote glowingly about the Bolsheviks in his book Liberty Under the Soviets.

However, the ACLU’s willingness to defend anyone catapulted Mr. Baldwin to the undeserved prominence of a fiery defender of freedom. In 1947, General Douglas MacArthur invited him to Japan to help inculcate free speech values in the wake of World War II. The new governments of Germany and Austria asked him to do similar work as they struggled to emerge from the disaster of Nazism. He was fond of saying things like, “I’m a radical in the sense that the Bill of Rights is radical.” He could sound patriotic when defending organizations that undermined law and order. A few months before his death, President Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The “Woke” Mob Attacks!

However, the façade of objectivity has come tumbling down. The “woke” movement has no respect for history, even its own. It is equally willing to topple statues of Robert E. Lee and Frederick Douglass. The “Great Society” of the sixties and the John Birch Society are both considered complicit in perpetuating “White Supremacy.” It protested against the ultra-liberal Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and President Trump.

The ACLU’s troubles are described in a New York Times article, “Once a Bastion of Free Speech, the ACLU Faces an Identity Crisis.” The Times refers to the ACLU as “America’s high temple of free speech and civil liberties.” However, the article shows how the ACLU’s internal disputes are taking it away from its “original and unique mission.” Like many liberal institutions, the ACLU is turning “woke” and forcing its leadership to grovel to the times.

The old liberals are represented by the current executive director, Anthony Romero. He cites several recent cases as proof that the organization’s goals are unchanged. The ACLU defended the National Rifle Association against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and even opposed the banning of former President Trump from social media.

The Trump Bonanza and its Cost

However, the Trump election proved to be a turning point for the ACLU. Throughout his term, the ACLU fought him on virtually everything. The organization spent $800,000 supporting the aspirations of failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and another million on ads against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. When the administration sought to protect the rights of men accused of violating Title IX regulations, the ACLU dismissed a case it normally would have taken as a move that “promotes an unfair process, inappropriately favoring the accused.”

The article admits the Trump presidency was a bonanza for the ACLU. “More than $1 million in donations sluiced into its coffers within 24 hours and tens of millions of dollars followed in 2017, making the organization better funded than ever before.” Their budget tripled to more than $300 million a year.

That extra funds allowed the ACLU to hire a new slate of young “woke” lawyers that are now leading an internal revolt. They refer to the old school leadership as “privileged,” “clueless,” “out of touch” and “oblivious” to “the ACLU’s institutional racism.” They argue that freedom of speech conflicts with the organization’s advocacy of expanded “voting rights,” “reparations,” “transgender rights” and “defunding the police.” Indeed, they even contend that “First Amendment protections are disproportionately enjoyed by people of power and privilege.”

The “woke” appear to be carrying the day. In 2015, the organization refused to defend a student journalist kicked out of a campus protest against racism. The ACLU’s Connecticut chapter is demanding that the University of Connecticut require coursework in Critical Race Theory. The revolutionaries are insisting that the ACLU “no longer defend white supremacists.” New ACLU guidelines ask its attorneys to “balance” the effect of taking a “right-wing” free-speech case against the “offense” that taking the case might bring to “marginalized groups.”

Showing Its True Face

The problems of the ACLU are similar to those of many liberal organizations. Its liberalism eventually leads to the tyranny of its ideas. The façade of freedom has to come crumbling down to be consistent with the liberal desire to be free of all restraints. The ACLU’s betrayal of its mission is no surprise to those who have long watch it demolish the role of families, schools, and laws that upheld traditional values and the Church. Indeed, the ACLU is now showing its true face.

The White House and other federal agencies jumped into action as state and local governments began screaming that they were not prepared to protect renters if the federal eviction ban expired with regard to rent evictions. The Census Bureau has warned that politicians have created a nightmare with the COVID lockdowns that destroyed jobs. There are now more than six million renter households that are behind on rent, according to a recent survey. Extending this ban on evictions and foreclosures until the end of July just may be why our computer has projected such a while period is coming especially in August.

The pause on evictions and foreclosures for federally backed mortgages shows just how messed up the politicians are when it comes to managing the economy. This is like letting the kids just eat cookies because that’s what they would love to do. We have the European Central Bank lower rates to negative in 2014 and they became trapped. They destroyed their bond markets which then even sent central banks to buying stocks just to diversify because of the systemic risk they created themselves.

Those in power are just incompetent of ever managing the economy. Once they stuck their foot in the door, if they take it out and there is a wave of foreclosures, they will be to blame. So what do they do then? Put the foot back in the door and suspend all mortgages because they have an election in 2022?

Welcome to the reality of big government. They are simply incompetent of managing the economy for they have NO IDEA of how it even functions. They have added two years of crisis to everyone’s mortgages. They never thought about that. They just did whatever they had to in order to carry out the Schwab lockdowns.

Biden slams bills protecting children, female athletes from transgender ideology

WASHINGTON, D.C. July 1, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Joe Biden has signaled his opposition to state laws protecting women and children from transgender ideology.

The president tweeted Friday, “So far this year, hundreds of anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in state legislatures – many of them target transgender children. Let’s be clear: This is bullying against kids disguised as legislation – and it must stop. Enough is enough.” https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1408498701501358082&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesitenews.com%2Fnews%2Fbiden-slams-bills-protecting-children-female-athletes-from-transgender-ideology&sessionId=e5a9b7ba2612a7f988f637339dd983ff1e7eb929&siteScreenName=LifeSite&theme=light&widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&width=550px

Biden could possibly be referring to “hundreds” of bills introduced in over 30 states protecting girls’ sports from male intrusion. Many state legislators took swift action after Biden’s first action as president was to sign an executive order targeting Title IX, asserting that “[a]ll persons should receive equal treatment under the law without regard to their gender identity or sexual orientation.” It also stated that, “[c]hildren should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, locker room, or school sports.”

State legislators drafting and passing bills are responding to widespread concern that allowing transgender athletes to compete against girls would increase risk of injury to girls and strip deserving females of opportunities for accolades and scholarships. In fact, the Mississippi bill, which was one of many bills passed across the nation, argued that, “The evidence is unequivocal that starting in puberty, in every sport except sailing, shooting, and riding, there will always be significant numbers of boys and men who would beat the best girls and women in head-to-head competition. Claims to the contrary are simply a denial of science.” — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Biological males don’t belong in girls’ sports – #IStandWithSelina

In March, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves took a pro-active step to combat Biden’s executive order. He tweeted, “I never imagined dealing with this, but POTUS left us no choice. One of his first acts was to sign an EO encouraging transgenderism in children. So today, I proudly signed the Mississippi Fairness Act to ensure young girls are not forced to compete against biological males.” https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1370059736746446852&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesitenews.com%2Fnews%2Fbiden-slams-bills-protecting-children-female-athletes-from-transgender-ideology&sessionId=e5a9b7ba2612a7f988f637339dd983ff1e7eb929&siteScreenName=LifeSite&theme=light&widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&width=550px

“How is allowing men to compete against women not bullying women?” asked Father Stepehen Imbarrato, founder and director of LifeMinistriesUS.

He told LifeSiteNews, “As an apostate Catholic, Joe Biden has made a career of this kind of political hypocrisy. You can’t in one breath say you care about children being bullied and in the next breath say it’s okay to murder the weakest of children through abortion.” SUBSCRIBE to LifeSite’s daily headlines U.S. Canada World Catholic

However, it is not only girls in sports who are adversely affected by Biden’s transgender ideology.

When asked by a mother of an eight-year-old at a Philadelphia Town Hall last October in regards to Trump-era policies how he “as president” would “reverse…discriminatory agenda” to ensure the “rights of LGBTQ people are protected under U.S. law,” Biden answered he would “eliminate those executive orders.”

He went on to say, “The idea that an eight-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, ‘You know, I decided I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be. It would make my life a lot easier.’ There should be zero discrimination.”

Pro-life movie producer Jason Jones and host of The Jason Jones Show told LifeSiteNews, “Biden doesn’t care about children being brutalized by dangerous hormone blockers. He could not care less about young girls’ dreams being dashed, or their scholarships robbed after years of discipline. He would trample our children all for the sake of political ambition.”

Many states responded by banning the gender “transitioning” of minors due to dangerous and harmful effects on children. In Georgia, for example, State Rep. Ginny Ehrhart (R-36) is drafting a bill that would make it a felony for medical providers to interfere in the development of a child by prescribing cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers, for example.

According to GenderHQ.org, “10-year-old children are now making decisions about procedures that can negatively impact sexual function, cause life-long dependence on hormone prescriptions and monitoring, irrevocably alter their bodies, and sterilize them. Surgeries are performed on minors now in Western countries…such as the United States, with the goal being to make this the norm in all countries.”

Dr Michelle Cretella, Executive Director of American College of Pediatricians, believes that the best thing one can do for gender confused children is to give them time. In a commentary for the Daily Signal in 2017, Cretella wrote, “Even the American Psychological Association’s Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology admits that prior to the widespread promotion of transition affirmation, 75 to 95 percent of pre-pubertal children who were distressed by their biological sex eventually outgrew that distress.”

“The vast majority came to accept their biological sex by late adolescence after passing naturally through puberty,” she continued.

Cretella listed some of the risks associated with gender affirmation in children who are treated with cross sex hormones. These include “cardiac disease, high blood pressure, blood clots, strokes, diabetes, and cancers.”

“These harms constitute nothing less than institutionalized child abuse.”

World Economic Forum proposes psychological plan to overcome ‘vaccine hesitancy’

The scholars want to use psychology to promote vaccines, noting how customers make decisions in a process of thinking, feeling, and taking action. Thu Jul 1, 2021 – 1:38 pm EST

July 1, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – “Overcoming COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, procrastination, and rejection” is “the greatest marketing communication challenge of our lifetime,” declared an article on the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) website recently.

The piece was authored by three professionals in marketing: Rohit Deshpandé, the Sebastian S. Kresge Professor of Marketing at Harvard’s Business School; Ofer Mintz from Sydney’s University of Technology; and Imram Currim, Professor of Marketing at the Paul Merage School of Business, University of California, Irvine.

The group had conducted research into how to combat what they described as a “demand problem” for COVID injections, with supply outweighing demand. This led them to suggest “creating and implementing such solutions to inform, persuade, and convince customer segments to act, and we believe this kind of approach could also boost COVID-19 vaccine communication efforts.”

The scholars want to use psychology to promote vaccines, noting how customers make decisions in a process of thinking, feeling, and taking action. The entire process is replicated when an individual has to decide to get a COVID-19 injection, declared the authors.

While emphasis has been on promoting the third part of this process — the “doing” or actual vaccination event itself — the group lamented the fact that much work was still needed in order to actually convince those described as “the vaccine procrastinator, hesitant, and rejector populations.”

In order to convince this sector of the population, “we need to focus on the ‘think’ and ‘feel’ stages of decision making,” declared the marketing experts. SUBSCRIBE to LifeSite’s daily headlines U.S. Canada World Catholic

As such, Deshpandé, Mintz, and Currim have drawn up three recommendations “to eradicate vaccine hesitancy.”

Knowledge and misinformation

The three authors called for a campaign against vaccine “misinformation,” explaining how to address how people think about the vaccine. Noting that many who were hesitant about the injection believed it was “rushed, with underreported side-effects,” the group suggested a policy of directly confronting such people.

“This can be addressed by local leaders proactively reaching out and educating sceptics via media such as phone calls, direct mail, television, billboard, and digital channels.”

This alone was not deemed sufficient, however: “More assertive approaches” were called for in the battle against so-called “vaccine misinformation, in particular on social media.” In order to effect this, “training and funding” should be provided to help medical professionals or non-profit groups.

The war of feelings

Those who opposed the injection have strong feelings against it, stated the three authors, and as such “using information sources trusted by these people could improve their feelings about the vaccine.”

In this context, the WEF listed “medical providers, political and faith-based leaders,” but also highlighted the importance of “communities.”

The three authors suggested a form of emotional fear-mongering to be used against “vaccine sceptics.” “Another way to improve vaccine sceptics’ feelings is to play into a fear of missing out (FOMO), both socially and economically,” wrote the group.

Unceasing promotion of the vaccine

The final step relates to the practical availability of the vaccine, as the authors presented a range of suggestions to it to the population.

“Incentives can work,” they wrote. Business and states could launch a vaccine incentive scheme by “providing paid time-off, free products and lottery giveaways.” — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus

Some of the WEF’s suggestions have already been implemented in a number of states. New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) offered a free “vax and scratch” lottery ticket with a $5 million jackpot. Tickets usually cost $20.

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine offered residents in his state the chance to win $1 million dollars for presenting themselves for a COVID jab, while West Virginia residents under 35 will receive a $100 savings bond for getting vaccinated.

“We believe applying the ‘think — feel — do’ patient-centered approach to the COVID-19 vaccine communication problem will improve efforts at accelerating global herd immunity,” wrote Deshpandé, Mintz, and Currim. “Ensuring a safe economic reopening and recovery and overcoming this significant health and economic challenge could depend on such tactics.”

Safety concerns ignored

Despite focusing on promoting the vaccines, the marketing specialists did not consider the legitimate concerns which many have about the injections — including medical professionals.

Between December 14, 2020, and June 18, 2021, a total of 387,087 total adverse events were reported to the government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), including 6,113 deaths and 31,240 serious injury reports.

“Of the 6,113 deaths reported as of June 18, 23% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 16% occurred within 24 hours and 38% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated,” wrote The Defender.

Meanwhile the purpose and efficacy of the injections is being called into question, as over 4,100 people have now been hospitalized or died from COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated, according to data released from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

LifeSiteNews has published a large number of articles highlighting the many issues surrounding COVID-19 itself, as well as the concerns, adverse effects and debate surrounding the experimental injections.

Prominent doctors warn against ‘unethical’ COVID jab mandates for young people

July 1, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Writing for a major U.S. publication, two prominent doctors and authors of the Great Barrington Declaration have warned about the dangers of vaccinating young people against COVID-19, arguing that the risks likely outweigh any potential benefits. They are supported by a growing consensus of medical professionals around the world.

Dr. Martin Kulldorff and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, both of whom were among the three authors of the anti-lockdown Great Barrington Declaration, released an op-ed in The Hill recently presenting a number of arguments against the current drive to promote and administer COVID-19 injections to children and young adults.

Drs. Kulldorff and Bhattacharya, who lecture at Harvard and Stanford respectively, are both in favor of the COVID-19 experimental injection, despite the growing number of deaths and adverse reactions following its administration. However, while they advocated the injection for the elderly, they firmly advocated against vaccine mandates for students, which have become widespread in numerous universities across the U.S.

Such mandates are “unethical,” the pair declared. Referencing the “extremely low” chance of death from COVID for young people, Kulldorff and Bhattacharya wrote “Even a slight risk of a serious vaccine adverse reaction could tip the benefit-risk calculation, making the vaccine more harmful than beneficial.”

The two doctors noted the recent increase in reports of blood clotting and heart problems in young people following the vaccine. Even if such events were rare, wrote the doctors, vaccine mandates should not be made if they “could have dire consequences for the health of even a few of the people in their charge.” SUBSCRIBE to LifeSite’s daily headlines U.S. Canada World Catholic

Another issue which was highlighted was the move to vaccinate people who have already recovered from a prior COVID-19 infection. Such a concept “makes no sense,” declared Kulldorff and Bhattacharya. Rather vaccinating those who have recovered from COVID-19 “simply adds a risk, however small, without any benefit,” the doctors argued.

Growing health dangers for young from COVID injections

The issues raised by the two doctors are supported by a growing number of medical reports from across the world, following the administering of the COVID-19 injections to children and young adults. Indeed, as LifeSiteNews recently reported, the CDC’s best estimate is that those under 20 years of age have a 99.997 percent survival rate if infected with COVID-19.

Yet despite this extremely low risk from the virus, young adults and children continue to be injected and the consequent number of adverse effects continues to rise.

Recently released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has revealed that there were “more than 1,200 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in 16- to-24-year-olds who received an mRNA COVID vaccine.”

Such figures, however, are based on voluntary reports to Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), and the Harvard Pilgrim study found that under 1% of adverse effects from vaccines are reported to VAERS.

VAERS reports for adverse events to the COVID injections, noted 11,584 total adverse events, including 578 rated as serious and nine reported deaths which occurred among 12 to 17-year-olds.

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) held a news conference June 28, highlighting the danger which is posed to children from the vaccines. One of those who attended the event was 12 year old Maddie de Garay, who took part in Pfizer’s vaccine trial.

Having been previously healthy and active, following the injection, Maddie is now wheelchair-bound, having been to the emergency room nine times and hospitalized three times for a total of two months. Just 24 hours after her second injection, Maddie began to suffer from severe abdominal and chest pain.

Over the following 2 and a half months, Maddie endured gastroparesis, nausea and vomiting, erratic blood pressure, memory loss, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, fainting, seizures, verbal and motor tics, menstrual cycle issues, lost feeling from the waist down, lost bowel and bladder control, and she had a nasogastric tube placed because she lost the ability to eat.

In another instance, 18-year old David Mallozzi, was taken into hospital with myocarditis just two days after his second Pfizer injection. His mother described her son as now being “like an 80-year-old heart patient and he can’t walk.”

Medics warn against the injection for the young

Speaking to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology (which is being used in at least two of the prominent COVID vaccines) added his own warning against young people taking the injections.

“I have a bias that the benefits probably don’t outweigh the risks in that cohort [the young]. But, unfortunately, the risk-benefit analysis is not being done.”

Malone continued: “I can say that the risk-benefit ratio for those 18 and below doesn’t justify vaccines, and there’s a pretty good chance that it doesn’t justify vaccination in these very young adults.” — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus

1,044,232 have signed the petition.Let’s get to 1,050,000! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Keep me updated via email on this
petition and related issues.

Dr. Malone was supported by Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a professor of psychiatry and director of the Medical Ethics Program at the University of California, Irvine, who was asked whether the risks of the vaccine were greater than the risks of COVID-19.

“Based on current evidence, it’s entirely plausible to assume the answer is yes,” Dr. Kheriaty replied. He mentioned the inadequacies of the VAERS system, rendering it unable to provide a full picture of the adverse effects, and that vaccination always carries with it the risk of adverse effects.

On the other-hand, Kheriaty said that the risks to college aged students from COVID “are very, very small — almost zero, statistically speaking. So any risk from vaccination is likely going to outweigh risks from COVID in this population.”

In fact, one of the U.K. scientists advising the government on COVID vaccines, via the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), has also spoken out to warn against giving the injection to children. In a lengthy statement on Twitter, Professor Robert Dingwall wrote that teenagers are at “intrinsically low risk from COVID,” hence “Vaccines must be exceptionally safe to beat this.”

“It is not immoral to think that they may be better protected by natural immunity generated through infection than by asking them to take the possible risk of a vaccine,” continued Dingwall.

The JCVI member also closed by calling for an end to the endless COVID related restrictions, and appealed for common sense on the issue of public health.

“A reminder: medicine cannot deliver immortality and it is profoundly damaging to society to imply that it can, if only we try hard enough. We are all going to die one day – the question is when and how, not whether,” Dingwall wrote.

In response to the hundreds of colleges and universities now mandating COVID vaccinations for their students this fall, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) has issued its own call for such mandates to be scrapped. The AAPS presented 15 reasons for arguing thus, writing that vaccine mandates place on students the burden of “unneeded and unknown risk,” which he argued “is at heart contrary to the bedrock medical principle of informed consent.”

Is Hitler the Model Today?

Ironically, Hitler is the model. He turned the people against the Jews, not because they were Jewish, but he targeted the Jewish bankers first as the rich. Then that was extended down to business owners and eventually just get them all. It began as CLASS WARFARE and Hitler understood the value of language. Hitler was a highly charismatic speaker who could move crowds with his words. He knew how to do it better than anyone before him.

Yet, Hitler knew very well the value of propaganda which he elevated to a very significant role in his rise to power. Let us not forget that what happened in Germany on February 27, 1933, was an attempt by him to win over people to his party as the victim of Communists who wanted to join Russia. The Democrats are doing the very same thing with imprisoning 450 people for entering Capitol Hill, taking selfies, and calling it an armed revolution even though the FBI confirmed there were no weapons found. Video Player00:0000:14

The Reichstag went up in flames from an alleged arson attack by Communists. This justified the entire Nazi movement and it worked. This video clearly shows there were government agents involved and the people were yelling at them for their clandestine acts. We hear no word about that. Only civilians went to jail.

The Reichstag was staged and Hitler played on the equality of the Marxists and paid lip service to the left by adopting the name National Socialist German Workers’ Party. He was not a “Socialist,” but he manipulated them into supporting his agenda. Klaus Schwab is doing this right now with his World Economic Forum, preaching “equality” to get all the leftists to support a totalitarian regime. The youth think it is good to cancel people and to censor free speech because they are wrong.

Inside the World Economic Forum, they have ZERO tolerance for error. This same level of intolerance will be applied to this new world order they are pushing upon the world. Make no mistake about it, they have studied the tactics of Hitler. They are not planning to kill all the Jews, but they want to control everything and reduce the population as a whole.

At the Nuremberg trials, Field Marshall Hermann Wilhelm Göring (1893–1946) explained why the people followed Hitler.

“Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.

But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

With respect to a Democracy they argued, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States, only Congress can declare wars.

Göring replied: “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Sachez que c’est le Seigneur qui est Dieu ;
c’est lui qui nous a faits, et non pas nous-mêmes.
Ps 99, 3

Les ennemis de notre âme sont toujours les mêmes, et les pièges qu’ils nous tendent sont toujours les mêmes. Le monde, avec ses séductions ; la chair, corrompue par le péché originel et encline au mal ; et le diable, l’éternel ennemi de notre salut qui utilise la chair pour nous assiéger. Deux ennemis extérieurs et un intérieur, toujours prêts à nous faire tomber dans un moment de distraction, de faiblesse. Ces ennemis spirituels accompagnent chacun de nous de l’enfance à la vieillesse, et toute l’humanité à travers les générations et les âges.

Les alliés sur lesquels nous pouvons compter pour vaincre le monde, la chair et le diable sont la grâce de Dieu, la réception fréquente des sacrements, l’exercice des vertus, la prière, la pénitence, la considération des Fins dernières, la méditation sur la Passion du Seigneur et vivre en sa présence.

En cette époque rebelle et déchristianisée, où la société non seulement ne nous aide pas dans la poursuite de notre but ultime mais fait tout pour nous en éloigner, l’autorité civile nous fait suivre le monde, satisfaire les désirs de la chair, et servir l’ennemi de la race humaine. C’est une autorité pervertie et perverse, qui a manqué à son devoir de régir et de gouverner le corps social afin de conduire les individus au salut éternel. Au contraire, elle nie le salut éternel, rejette l’Auteur divin et adore l’Adversaire.

Il n’est donc pas étonnant que cette modernité apostate, dans laquelle l’action illégale est la norme, et le vice est offert en exemple à imiter, veuille annuler toute trace de Dieu et du Bien dans la société et dans les individus, faisant un pacte infernal avec le monde, la chair et le diable. C’est ce que nous voyons se produire dans la promotion effrontée de la sodomie, la perversion du vice sous toutes ses formes les plus abjectes, et dans la dérision, la délégitimation et la condamnation de la pureté, de la droiture et de la vertu.

Mais si aujourd’hui notre combat quotidien contre nos ennemis doit aussi inclure un effort titanesque pour lutter aussi contre l’État, que nous devrions pouvoir considérer comme notre ami mais qui travaille au contraire à nous corrompre dès le plus jeune âge, c’est douloureux et tragique de voir d’autres traîtres et mercenaires se joindre à ce siège : de mauvais pasteurs qui abusent de l’autorité sacrée qu’ils ont reçue de Notre-Seigneur pour nous pousser vers la damnation, pour nous convaincre que ce qui jusqu’à hier était considéré comme un péché et indigne de ceux qui ont été rachetés par le Sang du Christ est maintenant devenu licite et bon.

L’esprit mondain, l’asservissement à la concupiscence, et – ce qui est encore plus grave – le refus de lutter contre le Malin, ont infecté une grande partie de la Hiérarchie de l’Église catholique, jusqu’à ses plus hauts niveaux, en la faisant ennemi de Dieu, de Sa Loi, et de nos âmes. Comme cela s’est produit avec l’autorité civile, de même l’autorité religieuse a abdiqué son rôle propre, reniant le but même pour lequel elle a été voulue par la Divine Providence. La nouveauté de cette perversion de l’autorité, qui annonce le choc d’époque de la Fin des Temps, réside précisément dans la corruption des pasteurs et dans le fait que les fidèles, comme un troupeau sans chef, se retrouvent à devoir héroïquement résister à un assaut contre la Citadelle sur plusieurs fronts, dans lequel ils ont été abandonnés par leurs chefs, qui ouvrent les portes et permettent aux hordes ennemies d’entrer afin de nous exterminer.

La discussion sur le projet de loi Zan, l’imposition de l’idéologie LGBTQ et l’endoctrinement de la théorie du genre en Italie suit un plan ciblé organisé au niveau mondial, qui dans de nombreux pays a déjà été mené à son terme. Des nations – où, même après deux siècles de révolutions, l’empreinte du catholicisme avait survécu dans le tissu social – sont maintenant devenues complètement païennes. Des drapeaux arc-en-ciel flottent non seulement sur la façade des institutions publiques, mais même sur les façades des cathédrales, les balcons des résidences épiscopales et même à l’intérieur des églises.

Ces derniers temps — il y a même seulement trente ans — certains disaient que pour soutenir une minorité de personnes trompées par le vice et les défendre contre les discriminations, l’État devait intervenir avec des formes de protection et des garanties de leur liberté. Avec le recul, c’était une déclaration déraisonnable et illogique, car la liberté de la personne humaine consiste dans l’adhésion de la volonté au bien auquel sa nature est ordonnée et dans la poursuite de son but matériel et surnaturel. Mais dans la grande déception avec laquelle le diable a toujours essayé d’attirer l’homme, ce prétexte apparent en a séduit beaucoup. Il semblait qu’il fallait du courage pour revendiquer le droit au vice et au péché contre la cruelle dureté d’une «majorité respectable» encore attachée aux préceptes de la Religion. La fierté d’être divers dans un monde d’égaux a été revendiquée, et celle d’avoir droit à un espace pour le vice dans un «monde vertueux».

Dans ces années, l’Église élevait encore – peut-être avec moins de conviction mais toujours fidèle à son mandat divin – la voix du Magistère immuable pour condamner la légitimation de comportements intrinsèquement désordonnés. Attentive au salut éternel des âmes, elle a vu quels désastres allaient s’abattre sur la société avec l’approbation de modes de vie totalement antithétiques à la Loi naturelle, aux Commandements et à l’Évangile. Les pasteurs savaient être de courageux défenseurs du Bien, et les Papes n’avaient pas peur de devenir l’objet d’attaques indécentes de ceux qui voyaient en eux le katechon qui empêchait la corruption définitive du monde et l’instauration du règne de l’Antéchrist.

Aujourd’hui, cette bataille héroïque – dont nous avons appris qu’elle est déjà affaiblie par une vaste corruption interne des évêques et des prêtres – semble n’avoir plus de sens, tout comme l’enseignement de l’Écriture Sainte, des Pères de l’Église et des Pontifes romains ne semblent plus avoir de sens. Celui qui siège à Rome est entouré de personnes immorales qui font des clins d’œil aux mouvements LGBTQ et qui simulent hypocritement un accueil et une inclusivité qui trahissent le camp qu’ils ont choisi ainsi que leurs tendances pécheresses. Il n’y a plus de courage ; il n’y a plus de fidélité au Christ ; et cela va jusqu’à insinuer que, si Bergoglio a pu changer la doctrine sur la peine capitale — chose inouïe et absolument impossible — il pourra certainement aussi rendre la sodomie licite au nom d’une charité qui n’a rien de catholique à ce sujet et qui répugne à la Révélation divine.

Les processions blasphématoires qui défilent dans les rues des capitales du monde, et qui ont atteint le point de blasphémer et de railler méchamment le Sacrifice de Notre-Seigneur dans la Ville Sainte consacrée par le sang des Apôtres Pierre et Paul, sont accueillies par les mercenaires de la secte conciliaire, qui se tait devant les bénédictions sacrilèges des couples homosexuels mais condamne comme «rigides» ceux qui veulent rester fidèles à l’enseignement du Sauveur. Et tandis que les bons évêques et prêtres sont quotidiennement confrontés à la démolition qui vient d’en haut, nous voyons publiés les paroles enchanteresses et séduisantes écrites par Bergoglio à James Martin, SJ, à l’appui d’une idéologie pervertie et perverse qui offense la Majesté de Dieu et humilie la mission de l’Église et l’autorité sacrée du Vicaire du Christ.

En tant que Successeur des Apôtres et Maître de la Foi, dans un esprit de véritable communion avec le Siège du Très Saint Pierre et avec la Sainte Église de Dieu, je leur adresse un sévère avertissement, rappelant que leur autorité vient de Jésus-Christ , et qu’elle n’a de force et de valeur que si elle reste orientée vers la fin pour laquelle Il l’a constituée. Que ces pasteurs considèrent les scandales qu’ils causent aux fidèles et aux simples, et les blessures qu’ils infligent au corps ecclésial tourmenté — scandales et blessures dont ils auront à répondre devant la Justice divine au jour de leur Jugement particulier et aussi devant toute la race humaine au jour du Jugement Universel.

J’exhorte les nombreux fidèles scandalisés et déconcertés par l’apostasie des pasteurs à multiplier leurs prières avec un esprit surnaturel de prière et de pénitence, implorant le Seigneur qu’il daigne convertir les mercenaires, les ramenant à lui et à la fidélité à son enseignement divin.

Prions la Très Pure Mère, la Vierge des Vierges, d’inspirer des sentiments de repentance aux ministres qui ont été corrompus par le péché et l’impureté, afin qu’ils puissent considérer l’horreur de leurs péchés et les terribles douleurs qui les attendent : puissent-ils se réfugier dans les Très Saintes Plaies du Christ et être purifiés par le Sang de l’Agneau.

À nos frères séduits par le monde, la chair et le diable, j’adresse un appel sincère, afin qu’ils comprennent qu’il n’y a pas de fierté à offenser Dieu, à contribuer sciemment aux tourments de sa Passion, à pervertir sa propre nature et en refusant méchamment le salut qu’il a obtenu de son Père par sa mort sur le bois de la croix. Faites de vos faiblesses une occasion de sainteté, un motif de conversion, une occasion de faire resplendir la grandeur de Dieu dans votre vie. Ne vous laissez pas tromper par un Ennemi qui semble aujourd’hui se livrer à vos vices avec la seule intention de voler vos âmes et de vous damner pour l’éternité. Soyez fiers, vraiment fiers : non de l’asservissement au péché et à la perversion, mais d’avoir su résister aux séductions de la chair par amour de Jésus-Christ. Pensez à votre âme immortelle, pour laquelle le Seigneur n’a pas hésité à souffrir et à mourir. Priez! Priez la Très Sainte Marie, pour qu’elle intercède auprès de son Divin Fils, en vous donnant la grâce de résister, de combattre et de vaincre. Offrez vos souffrances, vos sacrifices et votre jeûne au Seigneur afin d’obtenir cette libération du Mal que le Séducteur veut vous ravir par la tromperie. Ce sera votre vraie fierté, et la nôtre aussi.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Joe Biden has nominated a woman with a long history of radical environmentalism and who has advocated for American families to have no more than two children for a senior position in his government.

Tracy Stone-Manning, if approved, will become the director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a position giving her control over 70 million acres of public land.

Stone-Manning has quickly gained notoriety since being nominated last Tuesday for both her views expressed in her 1992 graduate thesis — that children are an “environmental hazard” — and her involvement with a case of historic of eco-terrorism. SUBSCRIBE to LifeSite’s daily headlines U.S. Canada World Catholic

According to an investigative report by the Daily Caller, her thesis focused on eight advertisements to bring awareness to the alleged abuses of the earth caused by so-called human “over-population,” as well as by a variety of farming industries.

“The origin of our abuses is us,” she wrote, “If there were fewer of us, we would have less impact. We must consume less, and more importantly, we must breed fewer consuming humans.”

Her first advertisement was a picture of a baby with the question, “Can you find the environmental hazard in this photo?” The caption read, “That’s right, it’s the cute baby.” In America, it explained, “We breed more than any other industrialized nation. At the same time, we suck up one-third of the world’s energy. … When we overpopulate, the earth notices it more. Stop at two. It could be the best thing you do for the planet.”

The thesis, the Daily Caller reported, also included a 30-second script for a television advertisement. The script shows a young woman contemplating the possibility of having another child. She thinks, “I know it would be my third baby, but there’s not a population problem here like in Africa or India … and besides smart people like Bob and me should be the people having kids.” The scene then cuts to 13 seconds of pictures of exhaust, smog, landfill sites, a bird covered in oil and a female voice cuts in stating, “A child born in America will burn 499 times more energy than a child born in Ethiopia. And each year, Americans add 2 million energy-eating humans to the earth. … When we have children, the planet feels it more. Do the truly smart thing, stop at one or two kids.”

The ads in her thesis specifically targeted those planning their families. “The point is a simple one,” she wrote, “Harshly, the ads say that the earth can’t afford Americans.”

Stone-Manning was also an editor of the ultra-left, radical environmentalist journal EarthFirst! The journal’s statement of principles included:

All life forms, from virus to the great whale, have an inherent and equal right to existence; Mankind is no greater than any other form of life and has no legitimate claim to dominate Earth; All human decisions should consider Earth first, humankind second; The only true test of morality is whether an action, individual, social, or political, benefits earth; Earth is Goddess and the proper object of human worship.

As editor of EarthFirst!, Stone-Manning published an article (June, 1991) in which she satirically suggested using cannibalism as a form of population control.

What is the one resource that we have in super-abundance, and seems to be self perpetuating [?] Well, of course, humans. Rather than spend a whole page explaining the ins and outs of cannibalism I’ll leave it up to all of you to figure it out, but please send in your favorite recipes.

The editor’s note for this edition of the journal stated explicitly that they “do not accept the authority of the hierarchical state.”

Around this time, Stone-Manning found herself in trouble with the authorities of “the hierarchical state” relating to an act of eco-terrorism involving tree-spiking in 1989.

Tree-spiking is the act of driving a spike is into a living “at an angle so the head is hidden in the bark,” Senator John Barrasso explained during the June 17, 2021 committee hearing regarding Stone-Manning’s nomination. “It can shatter a chainsaw on impact, sending pieces of razor-sharp shrapnel flying.”

In 1993, Stone-Manning was investigated as colluding with the act of tree-spiking but was granted immunity for testifying that she had typed out a letter for a friend in which they warned that “a total of five hundred pounds of spikes measuring 8 to 10 inches in length” had been pounded into trees in a forest in Idaho which was set to be used as a logging site. The letter warned that should anyone attempt to harvest the trees “a lot of people could get hurt.”

Stone-Manning’s testimony sent roommate John P. Blount to prison for 17 months and provided her freedom. The Missoulian, reported that she could’ve been charged with conspiracy had she not agreed to testify.

In 1990, The Washington Post reported the story of a young forester whose life was unexpectedly altered one day while he was splitting logs.

“He was nearly three feet away when the log hit his saw and the saw exploded,” the report noted. “One half of the blade stuck in the log. The other half hit Alexander in the head, tearing through his safety helmet and face shield. His face was slashed from eye to chin. His teeth were smashed and his jaw was cut in half.”

“Someone who objected to tree cutting had imbedded a huge steel spike in the log that violently jammed the saw,” The Washington Post explained. — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Demand US Senate REJECT Anti-Life, Anti-Christian ‘Equality Act’!

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), who has called on Biden to withdraw Stone-Manning’s nomination, said that as member of EarthFirst!, Stone-Manning had been part of “not just a radical, extreme environmental group, but a radical, extreme, violent, environmental group.”

“This is not an exaggeration,” Sullivan said. “Tracy Stone-Manning was a member of Earth First!, a radical, far-left group that has engaged repeatedly in what is defined as eco-terrorism.”

“Every U.S. Senator on the floor here in this body should be very, very disturbed,” Sullivan stated.

Sullivan said that the vast amount of land in the BLM purview will mean an enormous amount of control for its director, and so insisted that it is “imperative” that the director be someone of great character. The director needs “to be honest, to be fair-minded, to be beyond reproach and, certainly, not to have been involved in an organization that perpetuated violence against its fellow Americans.”

Sullivan added, “And from what we know about Tracy Stone-Manning, she is none of these things — trustworthy, honest, and fair-minded.”

The Washington Post reported that the White House has called her “exceptionally qualified” and “a dedicated public servant who has years of experience and a proven track record of finding solutions and common ground when it comes to our public lands and waters.”

Currently, Stone-Manning is a senior adviser for the National Wildlife Federation.

US Sen. Johnson holds news conference with families injured by COVID vaccines, ignored by medical community

Ron Johnson (R-WI) and former Green Bay Packers player Ken Ruettgers held a press conference June 28 with families who want to ‘be seen, heard and believed by the medical community’ after suffering adverse reactions to COVID vaccines. Wed Jun 30, 2021 – 7:41 am EST

June 30, 2021 (Children’s Health Defense) – Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) held a news conference Monday to discuss adverse reactions related to the COVID vaccines — giving individuals who have been “repeatedly ignored” by the medical community a platform to share their stories.

The group that spoke was put together by Ken Ruettgers, a former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman, whose wife suffered an adverse reaction after receiving a COVID vaccine. Ruettgers, who now lives in Oregon, started a website to bring awareness of COVID vaccine reactions to the medical community.

“We are all pro-vaccine,” Johnson said at the onset of the news conference. In fact, Johnson has had every flu shot since the Swine flu, is current on all of his vaccines and was a huge supporter of Operation Warp Speed, though he has not had a COVID vaccine because he already had COVID.

Johnson said his goal was to provide a platform for these individuals who were injured by COVID vaccines so the health community and mainstream media would acknowledge them and get to the root cause — to find a solution for these problems.

Johnson argued that while most people don’t suffer significant side effects following vaccination, he is concerned about “that small minority that are suffering severe symptoms.” https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1409882643827658766&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesitenews.com%2Fnews%2Fus-sen-johnson-holds-news-conference-with-families-injured-by-covid-vaccines-ignored-by-medical-community&sessionId=c4f4ebd8cc02e02caff85a20c6c822f3452d58da&siteScreenName=LifeSite&theme=light&widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&width=550px

Five people from across the U.S., including a 12-year-old girl who was part of the Pfizer clinical trial, joined the conference at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee. They described their reactions to the COVID vaccines, including neurological, cardiac and gastrointestinal issues, debilitating health problems and hospitalizations.

Among them was Maddie de Garay from Ohio who volunteered for the Pfizer vaccine trial when she was 12. On Jan. 20, Maddie received her second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine as a participant in the clinical trial for 12- to 15-year-olds and is now in a wheelchair.

“Why is she not back to normal? She was totally fine before this,” said Stephanie de Garay, Maddie’s mother. She volunteered for the Pfizer vaccine trial “to help everyone else and they’re not helping here. Before Maddie got her final dose of the vaccine she was healthy, got straight As, had lots of friends and had a life.”

Upon receiving the second shot, Maddie immediately felt pain at the injection site and over the next 24-hours developed severe abdominal and chest pain, de Garay said at the press event.

Maddie told her mother it felt like her heart was being ripped out through her neck, and she had painful electrical shocks down her neck and spine that forced her to walk hunched over.

Maddie’s parents took her to the emergency room as instructed by the vaccine trial nurse administrator. Her labs were taken, she was checked for appendicitis, given an IV with medicine and sent home. The diagnosis in the discharge summary read “adverse effect of vaccine initial encounter.”

Maddie’s condition continued to worsen. Over the next two and a half months her abdominal, muscle and nerve pain became unbearable, her mother said.

She developed gastroparesis, nausea and vomiting, erratic blood pressure, memory loss, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, fainting, seizures, verbal and motor tics, menstrual cycle issues, lost feeling from the waist down, lost bowel and bladder control and had an nasogastric tube placed because she lost her ability to eat.

At one point doctors tried to admit Maddie to a mental hospital, claiming she had a neurological condition caused by anxiety, her mother explained. That’s when they found others experiencing similar adverse reactions who connected them to medical professionals researching adverse reactions to vaccines.

Maddie’s mother said her daughter — who was sitting next to her during the event in a wheelchair — has been to the emergency room nine times, was hospitalized three times and has spent two months in the hospital.

“All we want is for Maddie to be seen, heard and believed because she has not been. And we want her to get the care that she desperately needs, so she can go back to normal,” said de Garay. — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus

Another participant in the news conference was Cheryl Reuttgers. She was in phase one of Oregon’s vaccine roll-out. Four days after receiving her first dose of Moderna she experienced severe neurological complications, which led to a diagnosis of “vaccine-induced-autoimmune-neuropathy” and multiple sclerosis.

“These vaccine injuries are real, but people don’t know. People need to understand that these reactions exist and they need to be researched,” Cheryl said.

Cheryl said she is pro-vaccine, pro-science and pro-informed consent and has called on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to acknowledge neurological injuries being caused by COVID vaccines.

Candace Hayden from Michigan received her first dose of Moderna’s COVID vaccine on March 2 and a second dose on March 30. On April 18, Hayden started experiencing neurological symptoms and was partially paralyzed from her chest down.

She said:

“My medical team at the hospital refused to associate my condition with the vaccine, and I continually asked them to report to VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System], but I don’t think that they did. It defies my imagination that we can find each other but the medical community refuses to draw the lines and recognize that people are suffering similar adverse side-effects.

“The head of my medical team told me that I should get used to being handi-cap. We are asking to be seen. We are asking to be heard. And we’re asking to be believed.”

Kristi Dobbs is a 39-year-old dental hygienist from Missouri who received the Pfizer COVID vaccine in January. Immediately after being vaccinated Dobbs experienced paresthesia, heart palpitations and menstrual issues. Dobbs reported her symptoms to V-safe, the CDC, FDA, Pfizer, two research institutes and several universities.

“To date, the medical community remains baffled and unable to restore my health,” Dobbs said. “I hope that our conditions will be researched and studied.”

Dobbs added she would give anything to return to Jan. 17 before she was vaccinated.

Brianne Dressen is a preschool teacher from Utah, who received AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccine during a clinical trial in November 2020. She has since experienced extensive adverse effects from the vaccine that resulted in a medical bill of more than $250,000.

According to the latest VAERS data, there have been a total of 387,087 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 6,113 deaths and 31,240 serious injuries between December 14, 2020 and June 18, 2021.

Of those 387,087 reports, 11,584 total adverse events, including 578 rated as serious and nine reported deaths occurred among 12- to 17-year-olds. VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.

During the event, Johnson mentioned the Harvard Pilgrim study showing less than 1% of adverse events are reported to the CDC’s VAERS system.

The senator has faced backlash for holding his press event. Gov. Tony Evers said Friday Sen. Johnson was being “reckless and irresponsible” for holding the news conference and Milwaukee’s health commissioner, Kirsten Johnson, accused Johnson of raising “misleading concerns” about what she called “safe” vaccines that are saving lives.

Johnson pushed back on these comments. “Do you think that’s reckless and irresponsible?,” he said. “I think it’s called compassion. I think it’s showing concern for your fellow human beings who have stepped up.”

Johnson provided a press packet with hundreds of links to other news stories and said a flood of information would be added to his website.

Life site:A horrifying look at how transgenderism butchers people’s bodies – and the language we use

A horrifying look at how transgenderism butchers people’s bodies – and the language we use

Read at your own risk – by far the most disturbing part of all of this has to do with sex. This is a movement driven by mental illness and mutilation, and young people are signing up for it in droves. Wed Jun 30, 2021 – 12:38 pm EST

Editor’s warning: The following article contains disturbing and disgusting content.

June 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – As the transgender movement pushes the transformation of society, very few fields have been left untouched. The medical field, however, has faced the greatest number of challenges. Trans activists are demanding accommodation far beyond “transition” – or “gender affirmation surgery,” as they prefer it. Language is as important to trans activists as treatments. Verbal recognition of their chosen identities is the social affirmation they crave, which is why we’ve seen the media, politicians, academics, and celebrities obediently fall into line and people’s “preferred pronouns” pop up on social media like mushrooms after rain.

As such, Brooklyn-based freelance writer James Factora, who goes by the pronouns “they/them” (and thus presumably identifies as “non-binary”) and has contributed to publications such as VICE and Teen Vogue, has written “A Guide to Primary Care for Transgender Patients” for a publication called The Paper Gown. The Paper Gown is produced by ZocDoc, which is an online doctor appointment scheduling service.

Trans patients, Factora writes, are likely to face discrimination and thus need to “establish relationships with trans-affirming doctors” who can go beyond simply prescribing hormones and ushering the patient along on the path to transition.

As you might have guessed, “trans-affirming doctors” are doctors who know “the vocabulary to properly discuss their gender identity.” As the trans culture wars increasingly play out on the battlefield of language, how one speaks is of the essence. Factora, unsurprisingly, recommends Planned Parenthood, which has become America’s second-largest supplier of hormones to people struggling with their gender identity.

There have been many issues in the past several years where someone’s sex makes a real difference to the care they are provided, as there are distinct differences between male and female bodies – including a tragic incident in which a baby died because a pregnant woman presenting as male was misdiagnosed as an obese man. But Factora notes that while someone’s “assigned sex at birth” can be “relevant to … primary care needs,” approaching this issue is a difficult one. An excerpt:

While this can be an uncomfortable topic for many trans people, Goldstein says that providers often “use the question of sex assigned at birth” as shorthand for asking what organs you have.
In other words, Kumar says, when it comes to primary care, physicians are “really thinking about the organ system that’s involved,” whether that’s the cardiovascular system, reproductive system or whatever else might need attention. “There are some parts of your body that are going to be affected by hormones or surgery,” he says. “Some of those things may vary person to person, so it’s important for your provider to know what body parts you have or don’t have.”

Biological females who identify as male, for example, should still “be screened regularly for breast or chest cancer,” but “there’s not much data on screening for cancer in transitioning people.” Unspoken is the fact that this is because the wave of people identifying as transgender is very recent, as is the exploding number of people taking hormone therapy and embarking on sex changes. This is very much a medical experiment on a social scale, and we know almost nothing about what the long-term effects are.

Factora implicitly admits as much, quoting one expert as saying that “you have to keep track of what parts are there and what parts aren’t. If the parts are still in your body, then you have to screen them.” He also notes that “estrogen can increase your risk of getting lung cancer and blood clots,” which is not something he’ll hear many trans activists admitting as they insist these treatments are life-saving. There are also sometimes issues with “tucking,” which refers to the process of hiding the penis between the legs in order to better “pass” as female:

Kumar says that when tucking habits are causing an increased amount of pain, itching, redness or other skin changes, it can be a cause for concern. “Exploring some of those alternatives can be helpful,” he says. “If there’s breaks that folks can take, perhaps at nighttime or when they’re not out, if that’s comfortable for them, that’s something that can help the skin breathe.” If you have had bottom surgery, Estvold recommends pursuing gynecological care six months to a year after surgery. Goldstein recommends a visual examination of the vagina once a year to check for skin cancer, regardless of what tissues were used in the surgery.

“All of those techniques are so new that we don’t know if there are any implications for health screenings,” she says. “No matter how the vagina was constructed, the visual [examination] is really the most important.”

In short: In turns out that attempting to “reconstruct your body” has real-world implications. Sex change surgeries don’t actually change your sex, they just turn you into a life-long medical patient. Females identifying as male who practice “binding” – wearing a chest wrap to flatten the breasts and pass as male – need to be monitored as this practice can be very physically damaging.

And there’s more:

Testosterone can increase your red blood cell count, which can heighten your risk for negative health outcomes, including blood clots. Also, some evidence suggests testosterone can alter cholesterol levels. Because of this, Estvold tests his transmasculine patients’ blood to make sure their levels are within the normal range, while also encouraging healthy lifestyle choices to reduce the risks of cholesterol problems.

In other words, transition comes with all sorts of risks that the mainstream media almost entirely ignores in its coverage of the issue. Authors and academics who bring up these risks are invariably accused of being transphobes, but the reality is that these are tremendously dangerous procedures.

But by far the most disturbing part of all of this has to do with sex. Read on at your own risk – I include this excerpt here only to highlight how brutal and extensive the surgical destruction really is:

“I think trans folks should be forthcoming with their medical providers about how they’re having sex,” says Goldstein. While she didn’t always ask patients how they prefer to have sex, it’s something she always asks now when patients are starting hormones. “For people who are on feminizing regimens, we dose the medications a little bit differently if they still want to be able to get an erection,” she says. “So it has all sorts of implications for care.”
If you’re a trans woman who’s had bottom surgery and has vaginal sex, Estvold says, “It’s important to make sure that the vaginal tissue is still healthy, and not dried out or infected in any sort of way, especially if you’re using your new vagina for penetration and sexual intercourse.”
As for trans men, testosterone can cause what is clinically referred to as vaginal atrophy. However, Goldstein likes to avoid this alienating language, and describes the phenomenon as akin to “symptoms of a UTI, like burning and irritation, without any bacteria in the urine.” If you’re a transmasculine person who has receptive sex in his front hole, Kumar recommends using water or silicone-based lubricant. This can also be remedied with topical estrogen applied locally, which can come in the form of creams, gels or tablets that can be inserted with an applicator.

Women getting erections? Men having a “front hole”? This is a movement driven by mental illness and mutilation, and young people are signing up for it in droves. We must keep this ideology away from our children and out of our schools – the damage that it inflicts on young people is incalculable and irreversible.

For people interested in learning more about this movement in order to understand it better, I wrote an article listing four books that will assist you in that. I’ve also had a number of excellent guests on my LifeSiteNews podcast, including Abigail Shrier, the author of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. I wish that articles like this one weren’t necessary, but the reality is that these people are no longer fringe. Governments are marching to their tune, and the time to educate ourselves and resist is now.
