Endocrinologist from California explains the devastating effects that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical modifications can have on children's developing bodies. The Transgender Industry Is Culling Tomboys Out Of Existence. Sometimes transgender propaganda is too honest for its own good. For example, Loudoun Now, a weekly newspaper in Virginia’s Loudoun County, just ran a horrifying story encouraging gender dysphoria in children. The piece focuses on seven-year-old Sophia, now pretending to be a boy named Max, and her mother Emily (the unnamed father is almost entirely absent from the article). It was meant to boost transgender ideology in an area that has become a battleground over transgenderism and critical race theory in schools, but it inadvertently reveals several ugly truths about the trans-kids movement. First, this story shows that the transgender movement is coming for very young children, starting in preschool if not sooner. Transgender advocates insist that kindergarteners and even toddlers are capable of committing to transition, and that everyone else must affirm this. Instead of waiting to see what shakes out as children develop, trans advocates demand that children be immediately transitioned socially (new names, new clothes, new pronouns, new bathrooms, etc.), followed by medical transition beginning before puberty. Second, the Loudoun Now piece reveals that sexism is the basis for transitioning these little children. We are told that, as a toddler, “Sophia showed a preference for ‘boy toys’ and sports” though Emily “continued to offer dresses and dolls, thinking Sophia would eventually show interest.” But when Sophia was only five, Emily gave up on her efforts to interest her tomboy daughter in girly-girl stuff, and decided that what she really had was a transgender son. In this, Emily followed fashionable opinion, which has shifted from insisting that it is fine, even good, for girls to like sports, trucks, and other stereotypical boy stuff to declaring that such girls must really be boys. Goodbye tomboys, hello trans-boys. The biggest sources of sex stereotypes and strict gender roles in America today are the trans movement and its allies. Many self-described feminists have knuckled under, cheering as it is said that girls should stick to dresses and dolls and that girls who like “boy” things must actually be boys. The transgender movement is far more sexist than the most retrograde, fundamentalist Christians I’ve ever known — at least the latter still let their daughters enjoy basketball and PE. Third, this case demonstrates how it is often adults who are pushing for children to transition. The reporter says, “It never occurred to Sophia that she was anyone other than a boy,” which makes it odd that the story does not relate any instances of Sophia saying that she was, or wanted to be, a boy. No evidence is provided for this central claim of the story. Instead, the article tells about Sophia, then around five years of age, admiring Max from “Stranger Things” to the point of wanting to be called Max. This is presented as a major milestone in revealing Sophia’s trans identity. But “Stranger Things’” Max is a girl. This was nothing more than one tomboyish little girl admiring and wanting to be like an older tomboyish girl on TV. Indeed, reading the story, which relies entirely on Emily for pertinent information about Sophia/Max, it is striking that no evidence of gender dysphoria is presented beyond a little girl being a tomboy. However, it does appear Emily was distressed at her daughter being a tomboy instead of a girly girl, and we are told that Emily can now get her little “boy” to cooperate in dressing up, albeit in bow-ties and button-down shirts rather than dresses. We are also told that following the first foray, “Emily started trashing the girl clothes in the closet.” Perhaps “trashing” was just color added by the reporter, and Emily actually gave them away. But if it is accurate, it suggests seething bitterness. Regardless, it was clearly Emily, not Sophia, driving the declaration of a transgender identity for Sophia. Fourth, this story illustrates the pernicious effects of the trans movement’s hostage-taking. Emily admits to concerns about the future medical transition of her daughter, but dismisses them by repeating word for word the trans movement’s mantra, “I’d rather have a trans son than a dead daughter.” Yet this story presents no evidence that Sophia ever considered, let alone threatened or attempted, suicide. Emily’s fear seem to be entirely instilled from outside sources. It is true that people who identify as transgender have high rates of suicide and self-harm, but identifying as transgender has not been shown to reduce this. Furthermore, Sophia did not consider herself transgender until adults, led by her mother, introduced the concept to her (indeed, she still might not understand it). Far from helping her daughter, it seems that Emily pinned a trans identity on her, and is now writing her a suicide script to use as a threat against anyone who does not affirm this identity. Although the Loudoun Now story was an attempt at pro-trans propaganda, it inadvertently let the truth out. The reader is left to fill in the gaps in some omissions, but it clearly shows how the trans movement is filling parents’ minds with propaganda and fear to induce them to transition very young children based on crude sex stereotypes. In this case, a seven-year-old girl is now a handful of years away from permanent body mutilation and sterility via puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery. Pour one out for the tomboys, because those rambunctious little girls are about to be transitioned out of existence. WITHIN THE LGBTTQQIAAP+ COMMUNITY GENDER PRONOUNS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO MANY - A word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this). Why is it important to respect a person’s Gender pronoun? How can we assume what someone’s pronouns are just by looking at them? What a privilege we have to believe that we can just assume how someone identifies. It truly is a privilege to not have to say my pronouns or worry about whether or not someone is going to use the correct pronouns for me. Respecting all people is a huge step in healing our world and we can do this by asking and correctly using someone’s pronouns. Imagine being disrespected because someone doesn’t understand you or like you just because of who you are. It doesn’t feel good nor is it acceptable, so when someone is referred to with the wrong pronoun, it can make them feel disrespected and not validated. We have to watch where we have privilege in all areas otherwise it can be oppressive to others who do not have that privilege. How do I ask someone about what Pronouns do they use? Just like you ask someone, “What is your name”, try asking them: “What pronouns do you use?” As I mentioned earlier, assumptions are not good and they can be harmful to that person in front of you. So even though it might seem awkward at first, it’s worth trying to get it right the very first time. What if I make a mistake? As with anything in life we make mistakes. It is a natural part of human existence. We are not perfect beings so with that there is a chance that you will make a mistake when seeking to identify someone by the correct pronoun. Here is the thing: If you recognize that a mistake was made after you have said it, hopefully, human nature will step in and you will apologize, use the correct language and move on. A huge mistake when trying to correct your wrong is having the desire to prolong the conversation about how bad you feel that you made a mistake. This is not wise to do because what could end up happening is that the person who was identified incorrectly could now began to feel like they have to now comfort you and that is not fair to them. A Guide To Gender Identity Terms and Pronouns Issues of equality and acceptance of transgender and nonbinary people — along with challenges to their rights — have become a major topic in the headlines. These issues can involve words and ideas and identities that are new to some. That's why we've put together a glossary of terms relating to gender identity. Our goal is to help people communicate accurately and respectfully with one another. Proper use of gender identity terms, including pronouns, is a crucial way to signal courtesy and acceptance. Alex Schmider, associate director of transgender representation at GLAAD, compares using someone's correct pronouns to pronouncing their name correctly – "a way of respecting them and referring to them in a way that's consistent and true to who they are." Glossary of gender identity terms This guide was created with help from GLAAD. We also referenced resources from the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Trans Journalists Association, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists, Human Rights Campaign, InterAct and the American Psychological Association. This guide is not exhaustive, and is Western and U.S.-centric. Other cultures may use different labels and have other conceptions of gender. One thing to note: Language changes. Some of the terms now in common usage are different from those used in the past to describe similar ideas, identities and experiences. Some people may continue to use terms that are less commonly used now to describe themselves, and some people may use different terms entirely. What's important is recognizing and respecting people as individuals. Jump to a term: Sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, agender, gender-expansive, gender transition, gender dysphoria, sexual orientation, intersex Jump to Pronouns: questions and answers Sex refers to a person's biological status and is typically assigned at birth, usually on the basis of external anatomy. Sex is typically categorized as male, female or intersex. Gender is often defined as a social construct of norms, behaviors and roles that varies between societies and over time. Gender is often categorized as male, female or nonbinary. Gender identity is one's own internal sense of self and their gender, whether that is man, woman, neither or both. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not outwardly visible to others. For most people, gender identity aligns with the sex assigned at birth, the American Psychological Association notes. For transgender people, gender identity differs in varying degrees from the sex assigned at birth. Gender expression is how a person presents gender outwardly, through behavior, clothing, voice or other perceived characteristics. Society identifies these cues as masculine or feminine, although what is considered masculine or feminine changes over time and varies by culture. Cisgender, or simply cis, is an adjective that describes a person whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender, or simply trans, is an adjective used to describe someone whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth. A transgender man, for example, is someone who was listed as female at birth but whose gender identity is male. Cisgender and transgender have their origins in Latin-derived prefixes of "cis" and "trans" — cis, meaning "on this side of" and trans, meaning "across from" or "on the other side of." Both adjectives are used to describe experiences of someone's gender identity. Nonbinary is a term that can be used by people who do not describe themselves or their genders as fitting into the categories of man or woman. A range of terms are used to refer to these experiences; nonbinary and genderqueer are among the terms that are sometimes used. Agender is an adjective that can describe a person who does not identify as any gender. Gender-expansive is an adjective that can describe someone with a more flexible gender identity than might be associated with a typical gender binary. Gender transition is a process a person may take to bring themselves and/or their bodies into alignment with their gender identity. It's not just one step. Transitioning can include any, none or all of the following: telling one's friends, family and co-workers; changing one's name and pronouns; updating legal documents; medical interventions such as hormone therapy; or surgical intervention, often called gender confirmation surgery. Gender dysphoria refers to psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one's sex assigned at birth and one's gender identity. Not all trans people experience dysphoria, and those who do may experience it at varying levels of intensity. Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Some argue that such a diagnosis inappropriately pathologizes gender incongruence, while others contend that a diagnosis makes it easier for transgender people to access necessary medical treatment. Sexual orientation refers to the enduring physical, romantic and/or emotional attraction to members of the same and/or other genders, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and straight orientations. People don't need to have had specific sexual experiences to know their own sexual orientation. They need not have had any sexual experience at all. They need not be in a relationship, dating or partnered with anyone for their sexual orientation to be validated. For example, if a bisexual woman is partnered with a man, that does not mean she is not still bisexual. Sexual orientation is separate from gender identity. As GLAAD notes, "Transgender people may be straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer. For example, a person who transitions from male to female and is attracted solely to men would typically identify as a straight woman. A person who transitions from female to male and is attracted solely to men would typically identify as a gay man." Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe people with differences in reproductive anatomy, chromosomes or hormones that don't fit typical definitions of male and female. Intersex can refer to a number of natural variations, some of them laid out by InterAct. Being intersex is not the same as being nonbinary or transgender, which are terms typically related to gender identity. Nonbinary Photographer Documents Gender Dysphoria Through A Queer Lens THE PICTURE SHOW Nonbinary Photographer Documents Gender Dysphoria Through A Queer Lens Pronouns: questions and answers - What is the role of pronouns in acknowledging someone's gender identity? Everyone has pronouns that are used when referring to them – and getting those pronouns right is not exclusively a transgender issue. "Pronouns are basically how we identify ourselves apart from our name. It's how someone refers to you in conversation," says Mary Emily O'Hara, a communications officer at GLAAD. "And when you're speaking to people, it's a really simple way to affirm their identity." "So, for example, using the correct pronouns for trans and nonbinary youth is a way to let them know that you see them, you affirm them, you accept them and to let them know that they're loved during a time when they're really being targeted by so many discriminatory anti-trans state laws and policies," O'Hara says. "It's really just about letting someone know that you accept their identity. And it's as simple as that." Getting the words right is about respect and accuracy, says Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, deputy executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. Kaz Fantone for NPR - What's the right way to find out a person's pronouns? Start by giving your own – for example, "My pronouns are she/her." "If I was introducing myself to someone, I would say, 'I'm Rodrigo. I use him pronouns. What about you?' " says Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, deputy executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. O'Hara says, "It may feel awkward at first, but eventually it just becomes another one of those get-to-know-you questions." Should people be asking everyone their pronouns? Or does it depend on the setting? Knowing each other's pronouns helps you be sure you have accurate information about another person. How a person appears in terms of gender expression "doesn't indicate anything about what their gender identity is," GLAAD's Schmider says. By sharing pronouns, "you're going to get to know someone a little better." And while it can be awkward at first, it can quickly become routine. Heng-Lehtinen notes that the practice of stating one's pronouns at the bottom of an email or during introductions at a meeting can also relieve some headaches for people whose first names are less common or gender ambiguous. "Sometimes Americans look at a name and are like, 'I have no idea if I'm supposed to say he or she for this name' — not because the person's trans, but just because the name is of a culture that you don't recognize and you genuinely do not know. So having the pronouns listed saves everyone the headache," Heng-Lehtinen says. "It can be really, really quick once you make a habit of it. And I think it saves a lot of embarrassment for everybody." Might some people be uncomfortable sharing their pronouns in a public setting? Schmider says for cisgender people, sharing their pronouns is generally pretty easy – so long as they recognize that they have pronouns and know what they are. For others, it could be more difficult to share their pronouns in places where they don't know people. But there are still benefits in sharing pronouns, he says. "It's an indication that they understand that gender expression does not equal gender identity, that you're not judging people just based on the way they look and making assumptions about their gender beyond what you actually know about them." How is "they" used as a singular pronoun? "They" is already commonly used as a singular pronoun when we are talking about someone, and we don't know who they are, O'Hara notes. Using they/them pronouns for someone you do know simply represents "just a little bit of a switch." "You're just asking someone to not act as if they don't know you, but to remove gendered language from their vocabulary when they're talking about you," O'Hara says. "I identify as nonbinary myself and I appear feminine. People often assume that my pronouns are she/her. So they will use those. And I'll just gently correct them and say, hey, you know what, my pronouns are they/them just FYI, for future reference or something like that," they say. O'Hara says their family and friends still struggle with getting the pronouns right — and sometimes O'Hara struggles to remember others' pronouns, too. "In my community, in the queer community, with a lot of trans and nonbinary people, we all frequently remind each other or remind ourselves. It's a sort of constant mindfulness where you are always catching up a little bit," they say. "You might know someone for 10 years, and then they let you know their pronouns have changed. It's going to take you a little while to adjust, and that's fine. It's OK to make those mistakes and correct yourself, and it's OK to gently correct someone else." What if I make a mistake and misgender someone, or use the wrong words? Simply apologize and move on. "I think it's perfectly natural to not know the right words to use at first. We're only human. It takes any of us some time to get to know a new concept," Heng-Lehtinen says. "The important thing is to just be interested in continuing to learn. So if you mess up some language, you just say, 'Oh, I'm so sorry,' correct yourself and move forward. No need to make it any more complicated than that. Doing that really simple gesture of apologizing quickly and moving on shows the other person that you care. And that makes a really big difference." Why are pronouns typically given in the format "she/her" or "they/them" rather than just "she" or "they"? The different iterations reflect that pronouns change based on how they're used in a sentence. And the "he/him" format is actually shorter than the previously common "he/him/his" format. "People used to say all three and then it got down to two," Heng-Lehtinen laughs. He says staff at his organization was recently wondering if the custom will eventually shorten to just one pronoun. "There's no real rule about it. It's absolutely just been habit," he says. Amid Wave Of Anti-Trans Bills, Trans Reporters Say 'Telling Our Own Stories' Is Vital NATIONAL Amid Wave Of Anti-Trans Bills, Trans Reporters Say 'Telling Our Own Stories' Is Vital - But he notes a benefit of using he/him and she/her: He and she rhyme. "If somebody just says he or she, I could very easily mishear that and then still get it wrong." What does it mean if a person uses the pronouns "he/they" or "she/they"? "That means that the person uses both pronouns, and you can alternate between those when referring to them. So either pronoun would be fine — and ideally mix it up, use both. It just means that they use both pronouns that they're listing," Heng-Lehtinen says. Schmider says it depends on the person: "For some people, they don't mind those pronouns being interchanged for them. And for some people, they are using one specific pronoun in one context and another set of pronouns in another, dependent on maybe safety or comfortability." The best approach, Schmider says, is to listen to how people refer to themselves. Why might someone's name be different than what's listed on their ID? Heng-Lehtinen notes that there's a perception when a person comes out as transgender, they change their name and that's that. But the reality is a lot more complicated and expensive when it comes to updating your name on government documents. "It is not the same process as changing your last name when you get married. There is bizarrely a separate set of rules for when you are changing your name in marriage versus changing your name for any other reason. And it's more difficult in the latter," he says. "When you're transgender, you might not be able to update all of your government IDs, even though you want to," he says. "I've been out for over a decade. I still have not been able to update all of my documents because the policies are so onerous. I've been able to update my driver's license, Social Security card and passport, but I cannot update my birth certificate." "Just because a transgender person doesn't have their authentic name on their ID doesn't mean it's not the name that they really use every day," he advises. "So just be mindful to refer to people by the name they really use regardless of their driver's license." As more people become aware of the transgender and gender-nonconforming experience, many may be uncertain about the terminology used by these communities. Here, a NewYork-Presbyterian expert breaks down some of the terms that are used to describe the spectrum of gender identity to help people better understand both the language and how to create a more inclusive environment for the estimated 1 million adults in the U.S. who identify as transgender. One of the first steps is understanding the use of a person’s personal pronouns rather than making assumptions. This is widely accepted as a way to treat a transgender person with respect, according to Marianna Stayer, LMSW, program manager at NewYork-Presbyterian’s Center for Special Studies and a LGBTQ advocate. For example, when you meet someone, ask which personal pronouns to use to honor them. The most commonly used pronouns are “she” and “her”; “he” and “him”; and “they” and “them.” However, it’s important to recognize that many other pronouns also exist. You can start by sharing your own preferences by saying “Hi, I’m Levi, and my personal pronouns are he and him. What are yours?” Another good way to learn personal pronouns is to listen to find out if an individual uses pronouns that are masculine, feminine, or neutral, such as “they” and “them.” If you accidentally use the wrong pronoun, apologize quickly and sincerely, then move on. The bigger deal you make out of the situation, the more uncomfortable it is for everyone. “People might not realize they make a lot of assumptions about someone’s identity,” says Stayer. “To help make somebody feel welcome, it’s important to step back from assumptions a little bit and speak to people about how they personally identify themselves.” Here, Stayer explains some common terms that represent a number of identities in the transgender and gender-nonconforming communities. Agender – someone who identifies as having no gender or being without a gender identity (genderless, gender-free, nongendered, ungendered) Androgynous – someone whose gender expression is a combination of masculine and feminine characteristics Bigender, trigender, pangender – someone who identifies with two or more genders Cisgender – a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their sex assigned at birth Gender expression – refers to the aspects of a person’s behavior, mannerisms, interests, and appearance that are associated with gender in a particular cultural context, specifically with the categories of femininity or masculinity Gender fluid – someone who does not identify as having a fixed/static gender Gender nonconforming – gender expression by an individual that does not match masculine and feminine gender norms Gender queer – someone who does not subscribe to conventional gender distinctions but identifies with neither, both, or a combination of male and female genders Nonbinary – someone who identifies outside of the gender binary; does not identify with masculinity or femininity as it is culturally defined TGNC – transgender and gender nonconforming Transfeminine – describes a person who was assigned male at birth but identifies on the feminine spectrum Transgender – a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth Transmasculine – describes a person who was assigned female at birth but identifies on the masculine spectrum What are Pronouns? Pronouns are the way that we refer to people in place of their name or in third person (referring to that person while talking to someone else). Often, pronouns have an implied gender such as “he” to refer to a man/boy or “she” to refer to a woman/girl. People may also make assumptions about the gender of a person based upon their appearance or their name. In both cases, these assumptions aren’t always correct, accurate, or helpful. In fact, in our workplaces, schools, and communities, these messages can be harmful and damaging to relationships. When you use someone’s correct pronouns, it serves to create an inclusive environment where you demonstrate that you care for and respect them. Just as we wouldn’t want to make up a nickname for someone and use it against their will, it can be just as upsetting or disrespectful to refer to someone using incorrect pronouns. Actively choosing to not use the pronouns someone has shared that they go by is harassment and implies that intersex, transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people do not or should not exist. How do I use Pronouns? When someone shares their pronouns, it is an indication of how they would like to be referred to in the third person. Pronouns in the first person (referring to yourself– e.g., “I”) or second person (referring to the person you’re speaking to– e.g., “you”) do not change. Most people think of pronouns as they fall within the gender binary– with men using he/him/his and women using she/her/hers. However, gender neutral pronouns such as they, ze, xe, and others exist and are often used by non-binary people, who do not associate themselves with genders of man or woman. Gender neutral pronouns are also useful if someone doesn’t know the gender of the person they are speaking about (“The pizza delivery person is at the door, give them a good tip!”). Some people give options when sharing their pronouns. For example a non-binary person could use both “he/him/his” and “they/them/theirs” pronouns. It’s important to note that we should never assume someone’s pronouns. While the majority of people may use ‘she/her’ or ‘he/him,’ we cannot always tell by looking at someone. Pronouns commonly have a gendered association, however, anyone of any gender can use any pronouns that fit for them. Everyone has pronouns, not just transgender, nonbinary, or intersex people. Keep in mind that some people may use more than one set of pronouns to refer to themselves (e.g., ‘she/her’ and ‘they/them’). In these instances, you can use either set when referring to this person. What if I don’t know what pronouns someone uses? If you don’t know what pronouns someone uses, you can do one of three things: Use “They”: Use singular “they/them/theirs” for this person until you have the opportunity to ask about their pronouns. Ask!: It’s perfectly acceptable to ask someone what pronouns they use. See the next section for tips and methods! Use their name: Use their name until you learn their pronouns. a. Be aware that it can be challenging to do this without practice. Even though we think that we will only use someone’s name instead of pronouns in an attempt to not misgender them, we often use pronouns without realizing it, so it is easy to make a mistake.If someone has told you their pronouns, and you use their name or they instead of the pronouns that they told you, this is still misgendering. How do I ask what pronouns to use? Our clients often ask, “How do I know what pronoun to use?” and the easiest way is to ask. Sometimes people get nervous about asking for pronouns, because they aren’t sure how to ask. The easiest way to lean into asking someone about their pronouns is to share your own: “Hello, my name is Charlie and I go by ‘he, him, his’ pronouns.” By opening the conversation with your pronouns, you are signaling to the other person that you are familiar with the concept of pronouns and may be safe to talk to, particularly if you’re speaking to a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, you are increasing the normalcy of sharing of pronouns in public spaces and interactions. You’re creating an opening to ask for their pronouns. Using our example above, you could say: “Hello, my name is Charlie and I go by ‘he, him, his’ pronouns. What pronouns do you use?” or “How would you like me to refer to you?” Both of these models create the opportunity for someone to reciprocate by sharing their pronouns in their introduction. It can be a bit awkward the first few times you do this, but practice makes proficient! Further, you may get some folks who are confused when you introduce yourself with pronouns. It can be helpful to have a planned elevator pitch that you can share about why you’re sharing your pronouns. What if I make a mistake? Mistakes happen! Everyone makes them. It’s what we do when we make a mistake that is most important. Here are some strategies for what to do when you’ve made a mistake or witnessed someone make a mistake with someone’s pronouns. When you make a mistake: If you use the wrong pronouns for someone in a conversation and you immediately recognize it, correct yourself, apologize, and move on in the conversation. It’s important here not to make the situation about yourself, your intention, or make excuses about the mistake. The best way to demonstrate that you care about this individual and are supportive of them is to correct the error and move forward. Example: “Oh she’s a great friend. I’m sorry, I meant they are a great friend. They always send me funny videos to cheer me up.” Avoid dragging out the apology and making the other person comfort you for your mistake. We all make mistakes, and even if you feel terrible about it, it isn’t about you. When others make a mistake: If someone isn’t present when their pronouns are misused, it is our job to hold others accountable to using the correct pronouns. When in a conversation with someone else who makes a mistake, there are a couple of ways to navigate the conversation. Before correcting the individual who made the mistake, consider whether the person who has been misgendered has shared about their pronouns in all areas of their life. Some people may only use certain pronouns in various aspects of their lives (e.g., using ‘they/them’ at work but ‘he/him’ at home). Some people make this choice for their own personal safety, or because they simply don’t feel comfortable being “out” in certain contexts. If you are not sure if the person in question has shared their pronouns with the person you are speaking to, ask them first before trying the following correction strategies. One strategy is to just respond to the individual who has made the mistake using the correct pronouns. Example: Someone says, “Oh she’s a great friend.” Your response can be, “You’re right, they are a great friend.” In this instance, you’re just repeating what was said with the correct pronoun. In many cases, if that person is aware of the pronouns, they will correct themselves as well. If the person who made the mistake is not aware and the individual who has been misgendered has shared their pronouns in all areas of their life, then best practice here is to gently correct the person who made the mistake. Example: Someone says, “Oh she’s a great friend.” Your response can be, “You’re right, they are a great friend. Also, just so you know, Sam uses ‘they/them/theirs’ pronouns.” Being gentle in the response is appropriate in these instances since we are operating under the assumption that this person did not know about the pronouns before the conversation. Misgendering and Deadnaming Misgendering is when someone uses the wrong pronoun for another person. When someone uses the wrong pronoun for someone else, it is a hurtful experience whether it is intentional or unintentional. It is hurtful because it communicates that the person’s gender and experiences are not valid or respected. When someone is misgendered over and over, it can cause significant emotional pain. Similarly, deadnaming is when the wrong name (usually an old name) is used for someone. This is often seen for individuals using the birth name of a transgender or non-binary person. When this is done intentionally, it communicates that the person’s gender and experiences or not valid or respected. When Dr. Lisa Littman learned that 80 per cent of youth showing up at “gender clinics” were females, she decided to investigate. She quickly named the phenomenon “ROGD” for rapid onset gender dysphoria, because, unlike typical gender dysphoria that begins in childhood, these girls had no discomfort with their sex until approximately age 12, and then suddenly decided they were actually boys. Wouldn’t it seem that this study Dr. Littman undertook (with all academic rigour) would be applauded? Just the opposite. The gender activists pounced and tried to prevent her work from going forward, claiming these young girls were simply becoming the boys they always were; even though nothing like ROGD has ever happened anywhere, in any culture, in any era, ever. (I always like to remind folks — especially young people who have grown up in this brave new world — that “trans” wasn’t even “a thing” 20 years ago, and now…“everyone is trans.”) Genuine gender dysphoria is an extremely rare condition, affecting only .2 per cent of the population, and, if found in children, was found almost exclusively in boys beginning around five years of age. It’s amazing what grooming can do. The grooming is everywhere. I inform young people that the laws, dictionaries, entertainment, schools, education, some religions, courts, media, news, hospitals, medical profession, psychological profession just changed everything right before they were born. Dr. Littman discovered that one major contributing factor was social contagion. If a young lady in question had a social group where one or more of her girlfriends were thinking of “transitioning,” suddenly, all of them wanted to transition together. Another ubiquitous element was smartphones. Many other findings, besides Dr. Littman’s study, mark the beginning of a young person (girl or boy) wanting to begin “transitioning” to the other sex (puberty-blocking hormones, changing name, changing dress, etc.) at when they got their first smartphone. It’s estimated that youth spend eight hours a day with their screens, imbibing all kinds of life-altering messages that powerful lobbies and advertisers want them to embrace and assimilate. And sometimes, it’s just other young people creating how-to videos. How many meaningful hours a day do youth spend talking with parents, or even talking (sans technology) with siblings and friends? How much input do they get a day (through media or elsewhere) about God and how to achieve His amazing plans for them? The gender activists immediately play the suicide card if anyone dares question a young person’s desire to transition. This is not true. That rare .2 per cent of the population with true gender dysphoria do have a higher suicide rate then the rest of the population, but they also always have other attendant pathologies such as severe depression, bi-polar disorder, etc. In fact, those who go through with transitioning (thinking it will solve all their problems) are 19 per cent more likely to commit suicide after transitioning. Also, if you keep telling a young person they have only two options, transitioning or suicide, how do you think they’ll react? What did the supposedly scads of “trans” youth of yesteryear do when there were no drugs and surgeries? Once people know there’s an option, we demand it, we have to have it, we believe we can’t live without it. But the simple fact remains: one cannot change his/her sex. Every cell of our bodies is gendered. Do an online search for “detransitioning” youth. These are tender young people who were rushed into irreversible damage. Yes, the radical and invasive interventions done to developing bodies, from hormones to surgeries are irreversible, despite the lies told to youth and parents that they are not. Those detransitioning almost instantly regretted the choice they’d made, and began to try to reconstruct themselves as the young man or woman they were by nature. Such young people are livid. Most were offered exactly zero therapy to find out what was going on in their lives. This is child abuse on a massive scale from trusted, “expert” adults across multiple professions. The lawsuits are just beginning.

Pedophile Joe Biden Said About His Sick Son Hunter Biden Is A Parasitic Monsters Literally and Predatory Sociopath is Feeding Off 9.6 Million Dead Or Children Gone Missing Each Year Around World. My Son Is A Sociopath is an informal term used to describe someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), which is characterized by a lack of empathy, disregard for others, and dishonest behavior. The defining characteristic of a sociopath is a profound lack of conscience, which may be hidden by a charming demeanor. A study conducted in the early 2000s found that 6.2% of the general population would meet the criteria for narcissistic personality disorder and 3.7% would meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder. There is both art and science to spotting sociopathy. So Now 100s Dead Body's & Missing Prostitutes Body's A Gun Belonging To President’s Son Was Dumped In A Trash Can Behind A Grocery Store Why ?

Secret Service linked to incident involving Hunter Biden’s gun – report This article is more than 2 years old now. So Gun belonging to president’s son was dumped in a trash can behind a grocery store then found to be missing, Politico reports. The US Secret Service became involved in a bizarre incident in which a gun belonging to Hunter Biden was dumped in a trash can behind a grocery store then found to be missing, the website Politico reported on Thursday. Delaware police were concerned the gun, a .38 revolver, could be found and used in a crime, the website said, adding that it was eventually found by a man searching the trash for recycling. The Secret Service reportedly approached the store where the gun was purchased, seeking to obtain all records of the transaction. The owner reportedly declined. Hunter Biden is the president’s second son. The incident reportedly happened in late October 2018, when Joe Biden was out of office and not receiving formal Secret Service protection. Hunter Biden was the target of efforts by supporters of Donald Trump to dig up political dirt on the family, efforts which in part led to Trump’s first impeachment. A rightwing website, the Blaze, reported the gun incident in October last year. The Secret Service told Politico it had no record of the alleged incident. A spokesperson also said “records confirm that the agency did not provide protection to any member of the Biden family in 2018, and that the Secret Service had no involvement in this alleged incident.” A White House spokesperson told the website: “President Biden did not have any knowledge of, or involvement in, the Secret Service’s alleged role in this incident, and neither he nor any family member was a protectee at that time.” Politico also reported that the Secret Service had been involved in informal protection of the former vice-president. The Secret Service did not comment on that claim. Politico said it had obtained copies of records relating to Hunter Biden’s purchase of the gun on 12 October 2018. It said he answered “no” to a question about unlawful use or addiction to “marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance”. “Five years earlier,” the website said, “he had been discharged from the US navy reserve after testing positive for cocaine, and he and family members have spoken about his history of drug use. “Lying on the form is a felony, though prosecutions for it are exceedingly rare.” The website also reported that the gun was thrown in the trash by Joe Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, the widow of the president’s son Beau Biden, a former Delaware attorney general who died of brain cancer in 2015. Hallie Biden and Hunter Biden were then in a romantic relationship, Politico reported. Hallie Biden reportedly returned to the grocery store to find the gun, but could not. Citing a Delaware police report, Politico said Hunter Biden told officers he used the gun for target practice. Asked if the gun had been used in a crime, he reportedly “became very agitated” and asked if an officer “was intentionally trying to make him mad”. Asked if he had been doing drugs or drinking heavily, he reportedly responded: “Listen, it isn’t like that. I think she believes I was gonna kill myself.” The Politico report offers a taste of what may be to come when Hunter Biden releases a memoir next month. The book, Beautiful Things, will center on the younger Biden’s well-known struggles with substance abuse, according to Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster which acquired the title in late 2019. News of the book was kept under wraps as Hunter Biden’s business dealings became a fixation of Trump and others during the election and his finances a matter of investigation by the US justice department. Publicity plans for the book remain opaque. The Guardian was told Hunter Biden will not be sitting for interviews with print titles. Politico said neither Hallie Biden nor a lawyer for Hunter Biden responded to requests for comment. Texts reveal Hunter Biden’s meltdown over discarded gun incident. EXCLUSIVE — Hunter Biden berated his sister-in-law Hallie Biden and accused her of ruining his life after he learned she had thrown his gun in the trash near a Delaware high school in October 2018, newly revealed texts from a copy of his abandoned laptop show. Hunter lamented that Hallie, the widow of his brother Beau, had given the impression he’s “an abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies” and said that “that’s now in the hands of the FBI.” He said police and the bureau opened an investigation into him over the incident. The Secret Service also inserted itself into the saga, according to other texts from Hunter, although the agency has denied involvement. “Beau owned a handgun issued by the state and I[t] was in the front glove compartment of his car. So f*** you … What right do you f***ing have Hallie,” Hunter said in the Oct. 23, 2018, text exchange, just hours after Hallie discarded his gun. “There are 5 guns in dads house. There are f***ing more weapons in your sons room then in an armory.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/?p=2640344 Hunter and Hallie Biden text conversation on Oct. 23, 2018, after Hallie discarded Hunter’s handgun in a garbage bin near a Delaware high school. Andrew Kerr “What’s my f*** up. Owning a gun?” Hunter added. “How Hallie is that wrong.” Hunter told Hallie her actions made it look like he had “threatened you and your family with a gun.” “I hate what you’ve done to me,” Hunter said. “I won’t ever recover from all of this.” No charges or arrests were made as a result of the incident. The lengthy text exchange was located on a copy of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop within a password-protected backup of his iPhone XS. Konstantinos “Gus” Dimitrelos, a cyber forensics expert commissioned by the Washington Examiner, located the password during his examination of the hard drive. Hallie, who had a tumultuous relationship with Hunter following his brother’s death in 2015, said she found Hunter’s .38-caliber revolver in his unlocked car and threw it in the garbage near Janssen’s Market in Wilmington, Delaware. When she told Hunter, he told her to go retrieve it, but it was already gone. The police were soon called. Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, called for a spate of new gun control measures on June 2 following deadly mass shootings at a school in Uvalde, Texas, and a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. Among the laws he called on Congress to pass were measures that would hold people personally liable if they don’t lock their weapons up in a safe. Hallie said she discarded Hunter’s weapon because she was scared for his life. Hunter and Hallie Biden text conversation on Oct. 23, 2018, after Hallie discarded Hunter’s handgun in a garbage bin near a Delaware high school. Andrew Kerr “Did you take that from me hallie? Are you insane. Tell me now. This is no game. And you’re being totally irresponsible and unhinged … You really need to help me think right now hallie — this is very very serious.” Hunter texted her just before noon, and she soon told him to call her. “I can’t believe this, you can blame me all you want, I know it was stupid,” Hallie said about an hour later. “But your part is dangerous and negligent. And because of this and my stupidity for being worried about you, im dealing with insanity and possibly I’m the one going to get in trouble. Check yourself into a local rehab hunter, this has all got to stop.” Hallie added: “Police coming to talk to me now, I’ll take full blame.” Hunter messaged her that evening, “The f***ing FBI Hallie. It’s hard to believe anyone is that stupid // so what’s my fault here Hallie that you speak of. Owning a gun that’s in a locked car hidden on another property?” Hunter said: “Do you want me dead.” The gun incident, the subsequent police response, and the Secret Service allegedly inserting itself into the saga was reported last year by Politico, and texts between Hunter and his psychiatrist Keith Ablow describing some of it, including the Secret Service’s alleged involvement, were first reported by the New York Post, but details of the lengthy blowup between Hunter and Hallie have not previously been reported. “It was open unlocked and windows down and the kids search your car,” Hallie told Hunter, adding, “I’m scared you would use it hunt … I’m scared for your life hunt.” “They think you’re scared I would shoot you,” Hunter texted. “You f***ing a**hole … You now have me as an abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies. And that’s now in the hands of the FBI.” Hunter messaged her that night: “The police and fbi still want to talk about whether I’m threatening you … I now threatened you and your family with a gun … You have truly f***ed me over.” The president’s son purchased the gun 11 days prior to the Oct. 23, 2018, incident. Hunter and Hallie Biden text conversation on Oct. 23, 2018, after Hallie discarded Hunter’s handgun in a garbage bin near a Delaware high school. Andrew Kerr Joe Biden told donors at a Democratic fundraiser on Friday he owns two shotguns. He also said in 2013 when he was vice president that he owned two shotguns, which he said were a more appropriate weapon for self-defense than an AR-15, recommending his wife Jill “fire two blasts” off their balcony “if there’s ever a problem.” Hunter told Hallie: “I’m proven unstable when you put a gun in the trash can at Jansens out of FEAR. What fear. Hunter is either insane. Homicidal. Or just a ducking f*** up drug addict.” The Secret Service attempted to retrieve the gun paperwork from a Wilmington, Delaware, shop in October 2018 after the firearm went missing, Politico reported. According to paperwork, Hunter Biden falsely responded “no” to a question on the transaction record that asked, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Lying on the form is a felony, although the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported that such prosecutions are rare. Hallie informed the store she had discarded Hunter’s gun, which prompted store manager Paula Janssen to call the police, according to the police report obtained by Politico. The report noted the missing gun caused a stir due to the grocery store being near a high school. Hunter and Hallie Biden text conversation on Oct. 23, 2018, after Hallie discarded Hunter’s handgun in a garbage bin near a Delaware high school. Andrew Kerr Secret Service agents also reportedly asked the owner of the store where Biden bought the gun to hand over the paperwork related to the sale. Ron Palmieri, the owner of Starquest Shooters & Survival Supply in Delaware, reportedly refused because he was concerned they might hide Biden’s ownership of the gun. The report said he later turned over the papers to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The Secret Service told the Washington Examiner in 2021 it had “no involvement in this incident.” President Biden, who was not under Secret Service protection at the time, said through a White House spokesperson last year he had no knowledge of the service’s involvement. His Secret Service protection resumed in March 2020 after it had stopped in 2017. The gun was reportedly handed in days after the investigation started by a person who regularly digs through the grocery store’s trash to collect recyclable items. Hunter gave evasive answers during an interview last year as part of a media tour promoting his memoir about drug addiction, Beautiful Things. When asked if he knew anything about the Secret Service looking for the record of sale for the gun, Hunter said: “No, I had no idea. I don’t know whether the Secret Service were or why they would be — I don’t think that that’s true, to my knowledge.” That contradicts reported texts by the president’s son from January 2019, which the New York Post first obtained. “She stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic]. Then told me it was my problem to deal with,” Hunter said. “Then when the police the FBI the secret service [sic] came on the scene she said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.” During the book tour interview, Hunter said: “Hallie’s intent was to make certain that I didn’t do anything to hurt myself … Hallie had thrown it into a trash can, and I told her, ‘You can’t do that,’ when I realized that it was gone — and so, she went back, and the police came to help retrieve the gun.” “The Secret Service did not provide protection to any member of the Biden family in 2018,” Secret Service special agent in charge Benjamin Kramer said in a 2021 letter made public by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson. “Further, records searches concerning the reported involvement of Secret Service personnel in the alleged incident have yielded no results.” Hunter Biden’s lawyers, Chris Clark and George Mesires, did not return a request for comment.

The call for an investigation follows years of scandal around racy photos of Hunter Biden on a laptop that was left at a Delaware computer repair shop. IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler testified in June the president's son flew a list of women across state lines for sex, potentially violating federal laws meant to combat human trafficking. The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Comer, wrote to the DOJ's Office for Victims of Crime Director Kristina Rose Friday, saying information regarding the investigation should be sent by Sept. 22. "These women may be victims under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act and may also be afforded mandatory restitution pursuant to the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act," the letter stated. "In light of DOJ’s refusal to communicate in a meaningful way with the Committee, we have great skepticism that DOJ has been adequately communicating with crime victims." Ziegler, who was investigating Hunter Biden for alleged tax violations, said during another hearing July 19 that certain tax write-offs Hunter made appeared to be related to sex workers. A so-called "golf membership" was also discovered to be for a "sex club." "DOJ’s decision to ignore the Committee’s request runs afoul of its own policies in the Justice Manual," the letter states. "Unfortunately, DOJ’s leadership continues to apply unwritten exceptions to its own rules and policies when the Bidens are involved." The Mann Act is a federal law that combats human trafficking and the interstate transportation of individuals, including women and minors, for immoral and unlawful purposes, such as prostitution or other illegal sexual activities. Comer and Greene noted the DOJ "failed to respond to the Committee" after its Aug. 25 letter inquiring into the "DOJ’s handling of victims’ rights" was ignored. "Considering the seriousness of this obstructive behavior, we request information as to whether anyone advised you not to respond to our inquiry, including any Department employee at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware, DOJ Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA), Main Justice, or the White House," Comer and Greene wrote. Greene and Comer want the DOJ to respond whether they "notified [victims] of their statutory rights" in the Hunter Biden investigation, as well as the names of people who may have advised it "not to respond to the Committee’s letter" in July. The House Republicans' letter was sent as special counsel David Weiss prepares to indict Hunter on gun charges. "The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest," according to court documents filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. "The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date." Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, was designated as special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland last month. The appointment was made specifically to pursue tax fraud charges against the president's son, extending jurisdiction beyond the Mid-Atlantic state. This decision followed the bombshell July court hearing where the Hunter Biden's probation-only plea deal fell apart. Hunter was expected to plead guilty in July to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of a plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge. Instead, he pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and one felony gun charge. Hunter Biden Spent $872k on Hookers Who Are Now Missing Or Dead Now ? Porn With Under Age Teens ? and Woman Sex Club And Sex Slave Memberships ? Hunter Biden spent hundreds of thousands on "constant partying," according to prosecutors in an indictment that hit the president's son with a total of nine tax charges. The indictment brought in California alleges Biden spent money on prostitution, online pornography and hiring luxury cars among other things including $10,000 on a sex club membership. It states money was spent on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes." A total of $1.4 million in taxes was allegedly evaded and Biden faces up to 17 years behind bars. He is accused of "willfully" avoiding paying his taxes and faces three felony charges and six misdemeanor charges. The charges relate to a time between 2016 and 2019, a period during which Biden has acknowledged he was addicted to alcohol and crack cocaine. A total of over $1.6 million was taken from cash machines during this period, the indictment said. Newsweek has contacted representatives of Biden's family for comment via email. The 53-year-old was able to avoid tax, prosecutors say, by claiming a number of luxuries as simple business deductions. For example, deductions claimed as "legal professional and consulting" contributed to the payment of his daughter's law school tuition, while "travel, transportation and other" was instead used for "house rentals for his then-girlfriend" as well as rent for one of his daughters, per the indictment. Further "office and miscellaneous" deductions allegedly helped Biden with the "purchase of luxury clothing, payments to escorts and dancers, and payments for his daughter's college advising services." Listed in the indictment are the following alleged payments: 'Various women' - $683,212 Clothing and accessories - $397,530 Educational purposes - $309,277 Health, beauty, pharmacy - $237,496 Miscellaneous retail purchases - $236,634 Groceries and restaurants - $214,923 Insurance - $203,815 Loan and mortgage payments - 191,873 Adult entertainment - 188,960 Legal and accounting fees - $147,566 Telephone and utilities - $118,440 Rehab - $71,869 Credit card payments - $58,542 Advisors from Wells Fargo - $53,000 Home and childcare - $39,801 Entertainment - $24,445 Sports and recreation - $23,567 The total payments listed in the indictment amount to $4,907,813. In light of the charges, Biden's attorney Abbe Lowell said his client had paid his tax debts and is sober. "Based on the facts and the law, if Hunter's last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought," Lowell said, the Los Angeles Times reported. "Now, after five years of investigating with no new evidence—and two years after Hunter paid his taxes in full—the U.S. attorney has piled on nine new charges when he had agreed just months ago to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors." Lowell was referring to a failed plea deal earlier this year in which Biden was due to agree to firearm and tax violations. It fell through and a new indictment in Delaware under U.S. Attorney David Weiss was filed in which Biden is accused of lying about his drug use in 2018 while purchasing a gun. He has denied the charges. In the California indictment, prosecutors said Biden was able to earn an income that was "substantial," with most of it coming from Owasco, PC, Biden's company. Further funds were allegedly put through a company Biden owned a 75 percent stake in named Skaneateles. More of Biden's income was earned from Hong Kong business State Energy HK and a relationship with CEFC China Energy. In 2014, Burisma Holdings Limited began paying Biden an annual salary starting at $1 million, which was later halved in 2017. In 2015, Biden agreed to aid a Romanian businessperson "contest bribery charges he was facing in his home country" after an oral agreement. Hunter Biden's tax indictment: Drugs, escorts and girlfriends US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, is facing a nine-count criminal indictment for alleged tax evasion. The 56-page charge sheet accuses him of evading $1.4m in taxes from 2016-19 and funding an "extravagant lifestyle". Much of the recovering crack cocaine addict's alleged illicit activities occurred while his father was US vice-president under Barack Obama. But the current US president is not accused of wrongdoing, or even mentioned in the latest indictment. The Yale-educated lawyer faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted. Hunter Biden was separately hit with a federal indictment on gun charges in September. How Hunter Biden earned millions of dollars The indictment outlines how Hunter Biden reaped a "substantial income" amounting to more than $7m between 2016-20. The payments were mostly made to business accounts he had created for his company, Owasco, PC, and were also allegedly funnelled through a company called Skaneateles, in which he owned a 75% stake. Chinese energy: For two years, beginning in late autumn of 2015, Hunter Biden was in a business relationship with CEFC China Energy, a Chinese energy conglomerate. In 2017, he was promised $1m stemming from a deal with a CEFC associate, State Energy HK, a Hong Kong business. Hunter Biden went on to do business with a Chinese equity fund. Burisma: The president's son began working for Ukrainian private energy company Burisma Holdings Limited in April 2014, with a starting annual salary of $1m. In March 2017, his salary was reduced to around $500,000 per year. The charging document lists payments of $1,002,016 in 2016, $630,556 in 2017, $491,939 in 2018, and $160,207 in 2019. Hunter Biden had previously told the BBC he was hired to serve on the company's board because Burisma had seen his name "as gold". Romanian businessperson: In autumn of 2015, Mr Biden "entered into an oral agreement" to help an unnamed "Romanian businessperson… contest bribery charges he was facing in his home country". For his work between November 2015 to May 2017, he and two other business associates split a payment of over $3.1m "roughly" between the three of them. How Hunter Biden allegedly spent the money The indictment says the president's son allegedly spent his money on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes". His spending amounted to about $1m in 2016, $1.4m in 2017, $1.8m in 2018, and $600,000 in 2019, according to the charge sheet. Between 2016-19, he withdrew $1.6m from cash machines alone. In the same period he spent over $683,000 on "payments - various women", another $188,960 on "adult entertainment", $397,530 on clothing and accessories, and $237,496 on health, beauty and pharmacy, prosecutors say. They list many of the luxury hotels Hunter Biden stayed in during the years that he chose to not maintain a residence. Most were in Los Angeles, New York City and Washington DC. He used the hotels "for constant partying", prosecutors say. Other funds went to hire a Lamborghini, which he used after moving to the West Coast while waiting for his Porsche to be shipped to him. Payments included $1,500 to an exotic dancer at a strip club, $11,500 for an "escort" who was paid "to spend two nights with him", $27,316 in payments to an online pornography website and $10,000 "to purchase a membership in a sex club". How he allegedly evaded taxes In order to avoid higher tax payments, prosecutors say that he claimed multiple personal expenses as business deductions. Luxury car rentals and hotels were claimed as business "travel, transportation and other", according to the indictment. He deducted academic tutoring for his daughter as "legal professional and consulting" and claimed payments to escorts and dancers as "office and miscellaneous". In 2018 he directed a personal aide to "place on payroll and provide healthcare benefits to three women with whom he had romantic or sexual relationships and a fourth woman who was related to one of those women". An Arkansas woman with whom he had a child was among those he hired. While in the throes of a crack cocaine addiction, he "claimed extensive business travel in 2018 when he had none". How prosecutors used his own words against him Prosecutors say Hunter Biden's memoir, Beautiful Things, explicitly lays out what the indictment alleges - that he did not have numerous business dealings in 2018 and was instead spending his money on months-long drug and alcohol binges. While working with California accountants in 2018, he claimed expenses, including $388,810 in business-related travel, despite writing in his book that the year was "dominated by crack cocaine use 'twenty-four hours a day, smoking every fifteen minutes, seven days a week'". Prosecutors say if the accountants had known about the drug use, they would have more closely scrutinised "his claims of hundreds of thousands of dollars in business expenses". From April 2018, and for the next few months, Hunter Biden surrounded himself with a crew of "thieves, junkies, petty dealers, over-the-hill strippers, con artists, and assorted hangers-on", he wrote in his memoir. The luxury hotels cited in the indictment correspond with the "very same hotels that the Defendant identified, by name, in his memoir as the locations of his monthslong drug and alcohol binge", court documents say. Hunter Biden recounts staying "at the Sunset Tower, Sixty Beverly Hills, and the Hollywood Roosevelt" and a list of other California hotels. He describes his entourage "flashing fake Rolexes" and bringing along "their stripper girlfriends". "They'd drink up the entire minibar, call room service for filet mignon and a bottle of Dom Pérignon," reads part of the defendant's memoir, prosecutors note. They point out that the "defendant did not write that he conducted any business in any of these luxury hotels nor did he describe any of the individuals who visited him there as doing so for any business purpose". Shocking photos of Hunter Biden’s drug-ravaged teeth after years as an addict have emerged days after the President’s son released a tell-all memoir. Shocking new photos of Hunter Biden’s drug-ravaged teeth and a raunchy scene with a woman have emerged days after the President’s son released a “tell-all” memoir on his years as an addict. Hunter, 51, described his years on crack and alcohol and numerous sexual encounters with women in his autobiography Beautiful Things, published this week. The photos show Biden sitting in a dentist’s chair with his teeth filed down for restoration after years as a crack addict, and Biden grinning with new dental veneers as he pulls on the hair of a scantily clad woman. The pair appear to be in a hotel room or bedroom and the woman is on all fours with Hunter’s hand on her back and staring directly into the camera. The images reportedly were taken from his laptop which allegedly has more than 250,000 text messages, emails, photos and videos chronicling his controversial and troubled past. Biden left the laptop at a computer repair shop in his father’s home state of Delaware and never returned for it. Another photo appears to show Hunter asleep in a bed with a crack pipe next to him, and another shows him on a bed with two naked women and a small fluffy dog. In his new memoir, Hunter has spoken candidly about his addiction which happened while his father was Vice President in the Barack Obama administration, between 2009 and 2017. He told CBS he used crack and alcohol heavily and barely slept after the death of his brother Beau from brain cancer, in 2015. “I spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs, smoking anything that even remotely resembled crack cocaine,” he said. “I went one time for 13 days without sleeping, and smoking crack and drinking vodka exclusively throughout that entire time.” At one point Vice President Biden slipped his secret service detail to go to Hunter’s house to intervene at the height of his addiction. However, dailymail.com has reported that the material on Hunter’s laptop reveals an even more debauched life and the conflicting relationship he had with his father. These include being guarded by a Secret Service agent while on a 2018 drug and prostitute binge in Hollywood. And text conversations with his father as Joe Biden was preparing to run for Democrat presidential candidate reveal a fraught relationship. Hunter Biden’s divorce from his first wife Kathleen and affair with his brother’s widow Hallie had played out in the media in the years prior to the 2020 US presidential election. One text from Hunter to Joe read: “Your team just made me the uncontrollable troubled tax cheat philanderer sex and drug addict that you tried so hard to fix but couldn’t. “They just totally wrote my life away.” The Daily Mail reported the laptop’s content, which it had authenticated, contained explicitly videos of himself with prostitutes which he posted on the adult site, Pornhub. The naked truth on the Hunter Biden laptop coverup We can thank Watergate and the fall of Richard Nixon for numerous words and quotes that continue to shape public understanding of political scandals. There’s “hush money” and “Deep Throat,” a “modified limited hangout” and “Follow the money.” But half a century later, two other Watergate phrases are key to comprehending the FBI’s sordid role in suppressing The Post’s initial coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop. The first is, “What did the president know and when did he know it?” In a 1973 Watergate hearing, the question about the president’s knowledge was asked by Sen. Howard Baker to White House counsel John Dean. Essentially, it was whether Nixon knew about the plan to break in to the Democratic Party’s offices, the so-called “third-rate burglary.” At first blush, the question would seem to have no relevance to the FBI’s use of Twitter and other social media platforms to censor reports on Biden family corruption. After all, the president in the fall of 2020 was Donald Trump. But that’s exactly the point and a key element that makes the evolving scandal so distinct. It shows the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, secretly working to defeat the sitting president of the United States and elect Joe Biden. Recall that, under former Director James Comey’s band of dirty cops, the agency had done something similar in 2016: It spied on the Trump campaign and many top FBI leaders actively worked to flip the election to Hillary Clinton. So, unlike Nixon during Watergate, Trump not only didn’t know about the “dirty tricks,” he was the victim of them. Numerous reports show that enough Biden voters said they would have voted for Trump to change the outcome had they known Biden was “the big guy” slated to get a secret 10% cut of his son’s China payoff. The second Watergate phrase that commands our attention now is “The coverup is worse than the crime.” That’s because we are on the cusp of the coverup phase of what the FBI, and perhaps the CIA and others, did to influence the outcome of the 2020 election. Predictable denials of “Nothing to see here” come despite clear proof that agents interfered with the First Amendment rights of the American public, and not just on Twitter. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said agents warned him about “Russian disinformation” before the election. Those warnings came in weekly meetings FBI agents had in San Francisco with the Big Tech firms and some reportedly mentioned Hunter Biden. It remains an open question to what extent free speech was infringed on by government minders across the media ­landscape. FBI agents ‘on payroll’ Thanks to Elon Musk’s opening of Twitter’s files, we know the FBI had scores of agents monitoring that site’s users and directing compliant employees to ban certain tweets or restrict their reach. Agents also demanded the names and other personal information Twitter had on those users, so additional surveillance, possibly without court orders, likely followed. The Post report that at least 12 former agents were on the Twitter payroll, including former FBI general counsel James Baker, depicts a too-cozy relationship that turned Twitter into what one independent journalist calls a “subsidiary” of the bureau. Other reports say numerous former agents held jobs at other social media firms, suggesting a sinister revolving door that made the firms cat’s-paws for government snooping. Another event in the 2020 election that is still shrouded involves the infamous letter signed by 51 former intelligence officers saying The Post report “had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation.” Naturally, the odious John Brennan, head of the CIA when Biden was vice president, had a hand in the scam. It’s certainly no coincidence that the letter, which allowed Biden to accuse Trump at a debate of using false information, reflects the same talking points the FBI had made to Twitter. It specifically urged company officials to beware of Russian disinformation about Hunter Biden, especially “hacked” materials. One of those warnings apparently came just hours before The Post’s first story on the laptop, and may have involved communication between agents and Hunter Biden’s lawyer. The FBI attempted to suppress The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden. Nor is it a coincidence that, while it was issuing such warnings, the FBI had in its hand for 10 months Hunter’s actual computer that contained all the incriminating information about Joe Biden. Therefore, one possibility that must be considered is that the FBI knew The Post report was accurate, and set out to make it toxic by specifically warning that anything involving the president’s son would be disinformation and should be suppressed, which is exactly what Twitter and Facebook did. Of course, there are also major differences between the current scandal and Watergate, some of which suggest the fight for the truth this time will be a harder one, with no guaranteed results. Topping the list is the hyper-partisanship gripping Washington. Howard Baker was a respected Republican senator from Tennessee when he asked John Dean about the break-in, and Nixon had offered to nominate him to the Supreme Court in 1971. Yet, despite his closeness to the president, his work on the Watergate hearings was above reproach. Now try to imagine a single top Senate Democrat today who could play such a key role in investigating the FBI’s effort to help Biden win in 2020. Sadly, the species is extinct. Similarly, the trusted media that drove the Watergate process to its rightful conclusion no longer exists in Washington. The virtual coverage blackout on Musk’s Twitter Files release is the latest in a long line of evidence that today’s largest newspapers and TV outlets are in the tank for Democrats. Media complicit So what if the FBI violated the First Amendment rights of ordinary Americans? So what if the bureau was part of a conspiracy with intelligence officials to label the Biden laptop disinformation when it knew otherwise? Generations of fair journalists, seeing themselves as patriots first, would have grabbed this huge, complicated story with both hands. Today, the evidence of FBI interference in an election is met with a media shrug because a shared objective was achieved: removing Trump. Finally, consider this possibility: Because it has had the laptop and who knows what other sources and information, the FBI has known all along that Joe Biden is a corrupt president who is compromised in his dealings with China and America’s other adversaries. If true, there are two implications. We have in Biden, as John Dean famously said about Nixon, “a cancer on the presidency.” We also have an FBI that has returned to the ethos of J. Edgar Hoover. He kept his job for nearly five decades by keeping files of dirt on presidents, senators, members of Congress, the media and many prominent private citizens, such as Martin Luther King Jr. P.S. Because of inevitable damage to our country, I would be happy to be wrong about the rough road ahead. Unfortunately, I fear the worst-case scenario is true.

A misused narrative the real two-tiered justice system in U.S.A. today ? There’s been a disquieting narrative circulating in our political sphere. It’s the claim that we live under a two-tiered justice system, but how it is framed isn’t accurate. This talking point, oft-repeated by Republican politicians and pundits, uses the perceived differences between the legal experiences of former President Donald Trump and the son of current President Joe Biden as evidence of this bifurcated justice. However, this perspective fundamentally misconstrues our justice system’s reality. Make no mistake, Trump and Biden are not emblematic of two different justice systems but rather two facets of the same coin. Both belong to an upper echelon that inherently receives preferential treatment from the justice system, irrespective of their political party. To argue otherwise is a grotesque misrepresentation and, more disturbingly, a distraction from a grave issue that truly divides America’s justice system: economic disparity. The truth is that America does possess a two-tiered justice system, but it’s not the one often parroted on news networks. It’s a system starkly divided along economic lines. On one side, we have those occupying the lower rungs of the economic ladder who find themselves relentlessly railroaded through a justice system that seems hell-bent on their punishment, regardless of the proportionality of their crimes. Disturbingly, around 80% of all incarcerated persons in the U.S. hail from these low-income communities. Public defenders, overloaded and underfunded, are all that stand between these individuals and the mighty hammer of justice. Far too often, they are forced into plea deals that offer them little to no benefit, resulting in harsher sentences, wrongful convictions, and years or even decades of their lives lost to the prison system. Moreover, once sentenced, many are incarcerated in facilities hundreds of miles from their home and family. Meanwhile, on the other side, wealthier Americans navigate the justice system with relative ease, even when accused of heinous crimes, as we saw with Brock Turner’s six-month sentence for rape. High-priced lawyers, connections, and top-tier investigators provide them with a safety net that poorer defendants can only dream of. This disparity has been starkly illuminated in recent cases, such as that of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, where the affluent enjoyed pre-trial freedom and the comfort of home while preparing their defense. In contrast, those with limited financial resources often languish in jail for days, weeks, months, or even years until their cases are resolved. In my work with incarcerated women, the devastating effects of this economic disparity are glaring. These individuals have spent decades in prison, striving to grow, learn and transform amidst conditions that often do more to breed recidivism than rehabilitation. Yet, when they seek parole, many are denied, as if their efforts to change count for nothing against the unforgiving calculus of the system. It’s not just their lives on the line but those of their children who wait, year after year, for their return. Sadly, even when they do get released, they are forever branded as felons, a label that inhibits their ability to reintegrate into society fully. This is not a justice system that encourages redemption or rehabilitation; it is designed to punish those on the lower economic rungs perpetually. Our society focuses on punitive justice, enforcing the harshest consequences for unlawful behavior. However, only the poorest among us are made to bear the full weight of those consequences, while the affluent and well-connected use money and power to shrug them off. So, let’s refocus the narrative and dispel the political smokescreens. America does indeed have a two-tiered justice system, but it does not divide Democrats and Republicans; it’s one that unashamedly favors the wealthy and neglects the poor. Only by acknowledging this can we hope to effect meaningful reform and create a justice system that truly serves all Americans equally.

People's Republic Of New York City Fake Justice System Ridiculous Politicized Joke As I Ran On I Will Get Trump At All Cost And My personal feelings and my politics stop at the door. The litigation that I engage in does not allow me to inject my emotions into it. Letitia Ann James (born October 18, 1958) is an American lawyer and politician serving since 2019 as the Attorney General of New York (NYAG), having won the 2018 election to succeed Barbara Underwood. A member of the Democratic Party, James is the First Lesbian and Bisexual Women African American and first woman to be elected New York Attorney General. NY Attorney General Letitia James A Lesbian and Bisexual Women African American has a long history of fighting Trump and other powerful targets Letitia James fixated on Donald Trump as she campaigned for New York attorney general, branding the then-president a “con man” and ″carnival barker” and pledging to shine a “bright light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings.” and She Is A Racist Herself Stating Letitia James and Supporters Chant The ene...

New York Attorney General Letitia James scored a statewide victory supporting the LGBTQ+ community after a federal court dismissed a case brought by an Elmira wedding photographer, who sought to discriminate against LGBTQ+ couples. The wedding photographer, Emilee Carpenter, filed a lawsuit against the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), the state Division of Human Rights, and the Chemung County District Attorney’s Office in October, claiming that New York’s anti-discrimination laws violated her right to refuse photographing same-sex marriages. This week, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York agreed with Attorney General James and ruled that all New Yorkers are entitled to equal access to the public marketplace under the law. “This court decision is a huge victory in our pursuit to ensure that every New Yorker has equal access and equal protections under the law,” said Attorney General James. “The LGBTQ+ community is an integral part of New York, and no New Yorker should be excluded or turned away from a business or denied a service because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Love is love, which is why my office will always fight to ensure that all New Yorkers are treated equally under the law.” Represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom — an Arizona-based, Christian, nonprofit advocacy group — Carpenter wrongly claimed, in her lawsuit, that the New York public accommodations law violated her right to choose to accept or deny photographing same-sex marriages. This week, U.S. District Court Judge Frank P. Geraci Jr. dismissed Carpenter’s claims, noting that historically underserved, disfavored, or disadvantaged individuals are entitled to the same access to the public marketplace as afforded to everyone else. Additionally, Judge Geraci made clear in his decision that all businesses claiming to serve the public must serve all of the public, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. “We applaud Attorney General James for ensuring that all New Yorkers receive fair treatment when looking to secure goods and services,” said Sean Ebony Coleman, founder and executive director, Destination Tomorrow. “The LGBTQ+ community are consistent consumers and our dollars should be valued the same as everyone else's money. This decision shows businesses that discrimination of any kind is unacceptable and will have consequences.” “The Door stands with Attorney General Letitia James as she sends a clear message that discrimination of the LGBTQ+ community will not be tolerated,” said Kelsey Louie, CEO, The Door. “We applaud her steadfast determination to make New York a safer and fairer place for all, especially for LGBTQ+ people, and we are immensely grateful for the message this court ruling sends to the young LGBTQ+ New Yorkers we serve.” “An overwhelming majority of Americans of every race, faith, and political party support laws that protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination, and support for marriage equality has never been higher. Non-discrimination laws protect every citizen and send a signal that all are welcome, and that’s good for business,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO, GLAAD. “LGBTQ+ acceptance is growing thanks to leaders in New York, like Attorney General James, who fight for equal treatment in every area of society and defend laws that secure it.” “The staff and youth of the Hetrick-Martin Institute applaud Attorney General James for once again being a strong defender of LGBTQIA+ people and their right to equal treatment under the law,” said Joey Pressley, CEO, Hetrick-Martin Institute. “Her continuing vigilance with regard to possible infringement of this right allows LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers to enjoy the freedoms to which they are entitled.” “This is a huge victory for the LGBTGNC community and sends a message to businesses that discrimination in any form will not be tolerated,” said Tandra R. LaGrone, CEO, In Our Own Voices, Inc. “In rejecting an attempt to undermine New York State’s Human Rights Law, the federal court recognized New York’s compelling interest in protecting LGBTQ+ people from discrimination in public accommodations and held that businesses opening themselves to the public must abide by the law,” said Omar Gonzalez-Pagan, senior attorney, Lambda Legal. “We are gratified by the court’s ruling and grateful for Attorney General James’ vigorous defense of New York’s civil rights laws and the right of LGBTQ+ people to be treated with equality and respect.” “New York state's human rights laws are intended to ensure that marginalized people — to include LGBTQ+ New Yorkers — are protected in all places of public accommodation,” said Jared Arader, president, Lambda Independent Democrats of Brooklyn (LID). “It is appalling that, this close to 2022, someone doing business in New York state cannot accept this. We applaud Attorney General Letitia James and her team for upholding and defending these laws for all New Yorkers.” “New York state’s laws clearly protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people against discrimination,” said Glennda Testone, executive director, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. “The Center has and continues to advocate for those rights, aided by leaders like Attorney General James, our fellow community members, and thousands of supporters across the state. Decisions like these are an encouraging reminder of the power of affirming legislation in making New York a more welcoming home for LGBTQ+ people.” “This is a powerful victory for all LGBTQ+ New Yorkers,” said Judy Troilo, executive director, The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center. “Discrimination has no place in New York, and we are grateful to both the Office of the Attorney General and the U.S. District Court for protecting our LGBTQ+ community.” “There is no room for identity-based discrimination in this country,” said Elisa Crespo, executive director, New Pride Agenda. “Any business providing services to the general public should treat every potential customer with the same level of dignity and respect, regardless of how they identify or who they choose to love. We applaud Attorney General James for being a stalwart defender of the rights of LGBTQ+ people.” “After facing a lifetime of discrimination, LGBTQ+ older people should not have to worry whether they will be mistreated when seeking access to public accommodations,” said Michael Adams, CEO, SAGE. “We are deeply gratified to see that the court has agreed with Attorney General Letitia James and ruled that all New Yorkers must have equal access under the law. This ruling is essential as public accommodations can include places where LGBTQ+ elders need the most help, like elder care facilities and community centers for services. We thank the attorney general for her steadfast leadership and support.” “Attorney General Letitia James is a steadfast advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and we applaud her for pursuing this case,” said Rose Christ, president, Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City. “Discrimination has no place in New York and the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City is grateful to the attorney general for fighting to ensure all New Yorkers are entitled to equal access to businesses and services throughout the state.” “This is a tremendous victory,” said Bryan Ball, president, Stonewall Democrats of Western New York. “We commend Attorney General James for continuing to break new ground and defend LGBTQ+ rights. As we have seen on so many human rights issues of late, we have to all remain ever vigilant in protecting the dignity and equality of all Americans. We thank the attorney general for always being ready to defend our rights and the rights of all Americans.” This case was handled by Assistant Attorney General Heather McKay of the Rochester Regional Office; as well as Special Counsel Richard Sawyer, Senior Counsel Sandra Pullman, Assistant Attorney General Swati Prakash, and Volunteer Assistant Attorney General Hannah Bernard — all of the Civil Rights Bureau; with assistance from Deputy Solicitor General Steven Wu. The Rochester Regional Office is led by Assistant Attorney General in Charge Ted O’Brien and is a part of the Division of Regional Affairs, which is led by Deputy Attorney General for Regional Affairs Jill Faber. The Civil Rights Bureau is led by Deputy Bureau Chief Travis England and Bureau Chief Jessica Clarke. The Civil Rights Bureau is a part of the Division for Social Justice, which is led by Chief Deputy Attorney General Meghan Faux. Both the Division of Regional Affairs and the Division for Social Justice are overseen by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy. Five years later, James is on the verge of disrupting Trump’s real estate empire after a judge ruled Tuesday that he defrauded banks, insurers and others by exaggerating the value of assets on paperwork used for deals and securing loans. The ruling shifts control of some of Trump’s companies to a court-appointed receiver, meaning he could lose control of prized properties like Trump Tower, a sprawling suburban estate, office buildings and more. For James, a Democrat, it’s just the latest joust with a powerful foe. Here’s a look at her political background and some of her biggest cases: LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMP James began investigating Trump just about as soon as she took office as attorney general in 2019. She launched several lawsuits against the Republican’s administration over his immigration and environmental policies when he was in the White House. James inherited an ongoing state lawsuit against Trump’s charitable foundation, filed before she took office, and steered it to a settlement that included a $2 million fine. She filed another civil lawsuit against Trump last year, alleging that his company deceived banks, insurers and others by overvaluing assets and his net worth on financial paperwork. “It’s the art of the steal,” she said when announcing the case against Trump, turning the title of Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal” against him. A judge in New York on Tuesday sided with James, ruling Trump and his company committed fraud and ordering some of his business licenses to be rescinded as punishment. The ruling, if it stands after an expected appeal, could make it impossible for Trump to do business in New York and would strip him of the ability to make strategic and financial decisions over some of his properties in the state. Trump has long criticized James’ legal volleys as political theater designed to catapult her to fame. He slammed the most recent ruling in a series of social media posts, calling it a “POLITICALLY MOTIVATED WITCH HUNT.” The Republican has also complained that her comments about him, prior to her election, show she never intended to be fair. ANDREW CUOMO In 2021, James oversaw an investigation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who had been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment. The inquiry led to a remarkable downfall for the once-rising star in the Democratic party. Lawyers hired by James concluded that 11 women were telling the truth when they said Cuomo touched them inappropriately, commented on their appearance or made suggestive comments about their sex lives. Cuomo says he was the target of an overzealous #MeToo persecution and alleged that James used the investigation to further her own political aspirations. James ran a brief campaign for governor after Cuomo resigned but abandoned the bid after a few weeks, saying she would instead seek a second term as attorney general. She has dismissed Cuomo’s claim that her investigation of him was motivated by politics. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION Since 2020, James has been leading a lawsuit against the National Rifle Association in a case that accuses its leaders of financial mismanagement. Her lawsuit accused some of the NRA’s leaders of using the gun advocacy group to enrich themselves and associates. As attorney general, James has regulatory power over tax-exempt nonprofits, and she cast the legal battle against the NRA as an effort to protect the organization from itself. Critics, though, claimed James — a proponent of gun control — was trying to silence the nation’s strongest voice of gun owners. She initially sought to have the NRA dissolved. A judge rejected that idea, but allowed the lawsuit to continue. POLITICAL BACKGROUND James won a 2018 election for attorney general in New York, becoming the first Black woman elected to statewide office, the state’s first Black attorney general and the first woman elected to the post. (A female predecessor, Barbara Underwood, was appointed.) She won reelection as attorney general in 2022 after ditching her short-lived campaign for governor. Prior to that, James was the New York City Public Advocate, a role intended to help people navigate and resolve issues with government services and serve as a watchdog over City Hall. The job made James a familiar fixture in the city, often appearing at crime scenes, news conferences and other events to amplify the concerns of city residents. She has also served in the City Council and worked as a a public defender and an assistant state attorney general. She graduated from Lehman College in the Bronx and earned her law degree from Howard University in Washington.

It involves a grand old building on Fifth Avenue, an unpaid loan, a fading family dynasty, a James Joyce theatrical production which almost ended in fisticuffs, and hypocrisy from the AG as obvious as a glass of green beer. It all began when James Doyle, a wealthy Georgia businessman with a love of his Irish roots, joined the board of the nonprofit society, whose crown jewel is a rare Gilded Age mansion at 991 Fifth Ave., right across from Central Park and the Met. Over the years, financial mismanagement and misfortune had befallen the society, and it was facing foreclosure. So in 2017, the board turned to Doyle for a $3 million loan, structured like a private mortgage. He was told that the Beaux-Arts townhouse was worth $80 million that included valuable air rights. However, the society only made a few payments and Doyle soon found things weren’t quite as they seemed. The society had been dominated for half a century by the Cahill family, and president emeritus Dr. Kevin Cahill was accused of treating the townhouse as his own “private club,” with one of his four sons, Christopher, becomingits “well-compensated executive director,” according to the New York Times. Christopher earned$88,459 in 2020, and between$134,768 and $179,402in previous years, according to IRS returns. Cahill, a tropical disease specialist said to have treatedPope John Paul IIafter he was shot, reportedly raised the money to renovate the mansion to its former glory when he took over in the 1970s. A stocky man with bushy white eyebrows, he would dress each year in morning coat and Irish tri-color sash to preside over the St. Patrick’s Day parade from its Fifth Avenue balcony. He held a grand annual gala where he would hand out gold medals to the great and the good. Then, in 2019, his son Christopher, then 55, got embroiled in an ugly confrontation with the director of the Irish Repertory Theater, which was staging a play in the townhouse, adapted from the James Joyce short story“The Dead.” “I’m going to kill you, Ciaran!” yelled Christopher, while lunging at the director after the performance, according to the Times. The society’s financial woes and dysfunction had reached a crisis point by 2021, when Cahill tried to sell the building for $52 million (later reduced to $44 million). He died the following year, and in stepped the New York attorney general, citing a petition she had received opposing the sale. She announced that, by state law, any sale of a nonprofit asset had to be approved by her, effectively kiboshing the plan. “It’s an amazing place,” James gushed to the Irish Voice. “We had to save it, had to save it … One day people can come in there and enjoy it again.” Which was all very well, but Doyle still was owed $3 million. The AG appointed an interim board of directors and Doyle was persuaded not to try to collect his money or foreclose on the mortgage before July 2023. But by August 2023, he still hadn’t been repaid, so he initiated foreclosure proceedings — and promptly was blocked by the AG, who claimed the mortgage was invalid because he was a board member. On Friday, Doyle launched a lawsuit against the society and requested a subpoena be issued against James requiring her to produce a raft of documents, including anything relating to campaign events hosted at the townhouse or any contributions to her political campaigns from the society or any of its members or directors. Doyle’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, alleges that James’ enthusiastic involvement in the Doyle case may be driven by “connections with the Defendant.” And he points out the uncanny similarities between his client’s predicament and the notorious case James brought against Donald Trump for supposedly inflating the value of his properties to get a better mortgage, “although her office is now taking a polar opposite position.” The lawsuit alleges that Doyle was given “fraudulently inflated valuations” of the townhouse, putting its market value at over $80 million. Cahill and the society’s current president-general, James Normile, “made representations to [Doyle] that the building had ‘air rights’ and could be built, or rebuilt, higher than its current height. “In reality, there were no ‘air rights’ and the actual value is closer to $20 million. [The society] made a gross over-valuation” of the townhouse, which induced Doyle to make the $3 million loan. “Tish James said, ‘Nobody is above the law,’ which should include Tish James, who seems to have actively aided and abetted in the art of the steal,” Parlatore told The Post. “This organization fraudulently inflated the value of their building to induce my client into giving them a mortgage which Tish James is now trying to help these fraudsters avoid having to repay. “The theory of fraud Tish James accused the Trump Organization of engaging in is identical to the fraud she is aiding and abetting here.” James has come down on the side of the society against its lender, Doyle. And yet, in her signature case of People v. Trump, she took the opposite position, holding that “where an organization inflates the value of a property to obtain a loan, that is fraud, even where the lender was aware of the actual value and was paid in full,” Doyle’s lawsuit says. Trump was punished with a $355 million fine. So delighted was James by the verdict last month that she started live-tweeting Trump’s daily interest bill: “+$114,553.04.” Parlatore points out that the society inflated the value of its property to obtain a loan, just like Trump was accused of doing, but the difference was that Doyle could not conduct the sort of “sophisticated due diligence” that Deutsche Bank did. Therefore, unlike Trump’s lenders, Doyle didn’t know the true value of the townhouse.An even more important difference is that Trump paid back every penny he owed, but the society never paid back Doyle.As the old Irish proverb says, forgetting a debt doesn’t mean it’s paid. Gay Pride Month Black History Now Letitia James Is Fighting For Us All James talks to Shondaland about her groundbreaking career and why she’s standing up for the most vulnerable among us. A World Wide Global Revolution Is Underway To Obtain What UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon And Barack Obama Call The Final Frontier In Human Rights. To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before UN Agenda 2030 The Universal Decriminalization Of Homosexuality And Pedophile's And Full Term Abortion. UN Global Gay Frontier Human Rights Universal Decriminalization Homosexuality - https://rumble.com/v4kvjai-un-global-gay-frontier-human-rights-universal-decriminalization-homosexuali.html Celebrating the contributions of Black people in America is an important part of our country's story. But too often reflections on Black History Month focus on a few iconic figures, and not the myriad of unsung heroes who've influenced our lives. This year, we're highlighting some of the women making Black History NOW, from a chief economist and a woman fighting to expand voting rights, to a trailblazing Attorney General working to protect the rights of others, this group of groundbreaking women are making the world better today. Admirers of New York’s Attorney General might not buy that pitch, given that she’s known for taking big legal swings against modern-day Goliaths. In the last month alone, her office announced plans to sue pro-life protesters who harassed women outside a Planned Parenthood clinic, and she recently filed a lawsuit against the NYPD for using excessive force on demonstrators during last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests. These bold moves follow the jaw-dropping announcement in August 2020 that James was suing to dissolve the National Rifle Association, and, of course, her years-long — and still-ongoing — investigation into the Trump family’s finances. Her work has earned her enthusiastic cheerleaders, with some of her 130,000 Twitter followers comparing her to Daenerys’ dragons, and calling her a role model. So yeah, while James — she goes by “Tish” — might think she’s a regular woman from BK, plenty of other people would say she’s anything but. So what should her fans call themselves — à la Beyoncé’s Beyhive or Rihanna’s Navy? Does “Tishies” work? “Cut it out!” she says, chuckling. Speaking via phone from her office, James had just emptied the trash and shoveled snow, and cautioned against heaping more praise in her direction. “You know, you young people on social media are really interesting. I've seen the memes. I've seen the responses. I appreciate all of the individuals who believe in my values, want to make this a more perfect nation and want to stand up for those who are vulnerable, and those who are locked out of the sunshine of opportunity.” It’s fashionable these days for people to get praise for “doing the work,” but James’ increasing spotlight is the result of her two-decade long career as a public servant. A graduate of Howard University’s School of Law, James won a seat on the New York City Council in 2003, repping parts of Brooklyn. Ten years later, she was elected Public Advocate of the City of New York. In both roles, James was known for taking on the massive, tangled systemic injustices most of us shake our heads at in anger and frustration. Her legislation took on the gender wage gap by banning questions about salary from the employment process. She also took on the gun industry and battled on behalf of children in foster care and tenants’ rights in court. If her intention was merely to make history, she could’ve retired a long time ago — she’s the first woman of color to be elected to citywide office in New York City, the first Black woman to hold statewide office in New York, and the first woman (and Black person) to be elected Attorney General of New York. Suffice it to say, Letitia James is the living definition of Black History, even if making it into the record books is the furthest thing from her mind when she goes to work every day. My personal feelings and my politics stop at the door. The litigation that I engage in does not allow me to inject my emotions into it. “I love to laugh,” she says. “I don't take myself seriously. It's important that I remain humble, that I stay connected to individuals in and around this community who are struggling each and every day that I can relate to them. I recognize this the power comes from above but it also comes from them, and it can be taken away at any moment.” James is reminded of her commitment to her community when she strolls through her neighborhood in her jeans and sneakers. “When young women approach me, hug me, that keeps me going and propels me to go further,” she says. She’s also a therapist to her friends — they literally come to her brownstone, lay on her couch and wait for her advice. While she’s one of the most powerful women in New York, she’s also a fan of reality TV (as for the Housewives franchise, she’s Team Atlanta. “I miss NeNe, but I like that Porsha is getting into activism; I appreciate her marching on behalf of Breonna Taylor.”). James also fortifies herself with prayer, and phone calls with prominent New York pastors, including Rev. Calvin Butts. At her home church, Emmanuel Baptist, she’ll sometimes sit behind the choir and sing. She’s one of eight siblings — a bookworm who couldn’t really date (she has four overprotective brothers) — but remembers seeing Jay-Z and Foxy Brown all the time in the neighborhood. And she’s good friends with another iconic Brooklyn emcee. “I am very close to Lil’ Kim,” she says. “I love Lil’ Kim.” James is, by all accounts, as much an around-the-way Brooklyn girl as she is a historical figure in the making. She’s rumored to be considering a gubernatorial run, and though she’ll only coyly respond that God laughs at plans, being the governor of New York is certainly the next logical step in her career. New York Attorney General Letitia James announces a lawsuit against e-cigarette giant Juul on November 19, 2019. James is definitive, however, when asserting that her investigations into Donald Trump are not about her own moral crusades, but rather upholding the belief that no one is above the law. These are two New Yorkers — James and Trump — whose values couldn’t be more opposite from one another, but she maintains that her deep dive into the former president’s business dealings have nothing to do with her opinions of him — or her personal feelings about his tenure in the White House. “It’s purely based on the facts and the law,” says James. “My personal feelings and my politics stop at the door. The litigation that I engage in does not allow me to inject my emotions into it.” However James controls her emotions, the work shows when she gives press conferences, like the one she did when taking on the NRA. Those of us who’ve seen the group’s responses to mass shootings understand what she might be up against when taking on a case against America’s foremost gun advocacy organization, and the complicated machineries of power she’s throwing a wrench into. At the podium though, James was calm, confident, and even exhibited a little swagger. She is, after all, an everyday Black girl from Brooklyn. “Sure, I get nervous, I'm normal. But then you close your eyes. And think of your ancestors, all of those whose shoulders you stand on. You have time to be afraid, you just get over those emotions, stand up, and step into your purpose. I'm used to people stereotyping me as a woman of color. Not just me, countless African American women, throughout the history of this country. But we rise up. And when they get in the way, we move them out of the way.” Is Letitia James Gay, Wikipedia, Arrests, Spouse, Height And Weight, Salary, Net Worth Letitia James is a prominent figure in American politics and law. She is known for her work as a lawyer, activist, and politician. Born on October 18, 1958, in Brooklyn, New York, Letitia is a member of the Democratic Party and currently serves as the attorney general of New York, a position she assumed after winning the 2018 election. Letitia James Early Life and Education Letitia Ann James hails from a large family, with seven siblings. She was born to Nellie James and Robert James. Letitia’s educational journey started in the New York City public schools, and she grew up in the vibrant neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn. She attended Fort Hamilton High School before pursuing her higher education. Letitia James earned her Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from the City University of New York’s Lehman College in 1981. Her major was in liberal arts, with a focus on social work. Later, she pursued her law degree and received her J.D. from Howard University School of Law in Washington, D.C. This legal background laid the foundation for her career in the field of law. In 2013, Letitia expanded her educational horizons by obtaining a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs. This additional degree helped equip her with the knowledge and skills required for her various roles in public service. Letitia James Career Path Throughout her career, Letitia James has been involved in various endeavors, showcasing her commitment to public service. One of her notable accomplishments was the establishment of the Urban Network, an alliance of African-American professional organizations. The Urban Network’s primary goal was to provide scholarships for young people, illustrating Letitia’s dedication to education and equal opportunities. She also served as a public defender for the Legal Aid Society, where she defended the rights of individuals who couldn’t afford legal representation. Her work in this capacity helped protect the legal rights of those in need. Letitia James was part of New York Governor Mario Cuomo’s Task Force, which focused on promoting diversity in the judiciary. Her involvement in this initiative highlighted her commitment to ensuring equal representation within the legal system. In 1999, she achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first Assistant Attorney General. Her role put her in charge of the Brooklyn regional office, where she handled various legal matters, with a particular focus on consumer complaints related to predatory lending and other illegal business practices. This experience deepened her understanding of the legal challenges faced by ordinary citizens. As New York State Attorney General Letitia James assumed her current role as the attorney general of New York on January 1, 2019, following her victory in the 2018 election. She succeeded Barbara Underwood in this important position. One of the notable moments in her tenure as attorney general came in August 2020 when she announced a state civil lawsuit filed against the National Rifle Association (NRA). This lawsuit, registered in the New York Supreme Court, targeted the NRA and named four department administrators as co-defendants. The NRA countered with its own lawsuit against Letitia James, referencing statements she made during her 2018 campaign.

Today. So because of targets Letitia James fixated on Donald Trump as she campaigned for New York attorney general, branding the then-president a “con man” and ″carnival barker” and pledging to shine a “bright light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings.” Five years later, James is on the verge of disrupting Trump’s real estate empire after a judge ruled Tuesday that he defrauded banks, insurers and others by exaggerating the value of assets on paperwork used for deals and securing loans. The ruling shifts control of some of Trump’s companies to a court-appointed receiver, meaning he could lose control of prized properties like Trump Tower, a sprawling suburban estate, office buildings and more. https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/decisions/trump-decision.pdf For James, a Democrat, it’s just the latest joust with a powerful foe. Donald Trump must pay $354.9 million in penalties for fraudulently overstating his net worth to dupe lenders, a New York judge ruled on Friday, handing the former U.S. president another legal setback in a civil case that imperils his real estate empire. Justice Arthur Engoron, in a sharply worded decision issued after a contentious three-month trial in Manhattan, also banned Trump, who is running to regain the presidency this year, from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years. Trump's lawyer Alina Habba vowed to appeal. Engoron canceled his prior ruling from September ordering the "dissolution" of companies that control pillars of Trump's real estate empire, saying on Friday that this was no longer necessary because he is appointing an independent monitor and compliance director to oversee Trump's businesses. Trump and the other defendants in the case, Engoron wrote in the ruling, "are incapable of admitting the error of their ways." "Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological," Engoron wrote. "Instead, they adopt a 'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' posture that the evidence belies." The lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Trump and his family businesses of overstating his net worth by as much $3.6 billion a year over a decade to fool bankers into giving him better loan terms. Trump, who faces criminal charges in four other cases, has called the lawsuit a political vendetta by James, a Democrat. In posts on his social media platform, Trump called Engoron "crooked," James "corrupt," and the case against him "ELECTION INTERFERENCE" and a "WITCH HUNT." "This 'decision' is a Complete and Total SHAM," Trump wrote. "We cannot let injustice stand." Engoron, who decided the case without a jury, also barred Trump and his companies named in the suit from applying for loans from any financial institution chartered in New York for three years, which could curtail his ability to obtain credit from major U.S. banks. The judge said Trump and his companies' past run-ins with the law were part of the reason for the stiff penalties. The Trump Organization was found guilty of criminal tax fraud in 2022. Two other entities Trump ran previously settled allegations of wrongdoing brought by New York state. Trump's adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, also were defendants in the case. The judge ordered them to pay $4 million apiece. Their lawyer Clifford Robert called the decision a "gross injustice" and said he believes it will be overturned on appeal. Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to tax fraud in a separate criminal case, was ordered to pay $1 million and barred for life from managing any New York company's finances. James said the penalties paid by all defendants totaled more than $450 million, including interest. "Donald Trump is finally facing accountability for his lying, cheating and staggering fraud," James said in a statement. "Because no matter how big, rich or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law." PRESIDENTIAL RACE The judge's decision could deal a major blow to Trump's real estate empire even as the businessman-turned-politician leads by a wide margin in the race for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 U.S. election. During defiant and meandering trial testimony in November, Trump conceded that some of his property values were inaccurate but insisted banks were obligated to do their own due diligence. Engoron criticized Trump for his behavior during his testimony - and wrote that the testimony hurt his cause. "Donald Trump rarely responded to the questions asked, and he frequently interjected long, irrelevant speeches on issues far beyond the scope of the trial," the judge wrote. "His refusal to answer the questions directly, or in some cases, at all, severely compromised his credibility." Trump could be required to deposit his portion of the full judgment plus interest during an appeal. Trump could also post a smaller amount with collateral and interest by securing a type of loan called an appeal bond. But he may have trouble finding a willing lender after Engoron found he lied to banks about his wealth. It is unclear how much access to cash Trump has, and estimates of his fortune vary, with Forbes pegging his net worth at $2.6 billion. Trump testified in a deposition last year that he had roughly $400 million in cash. Trump's stake in the parent of his social media app Truth Social is worth about $4 billion, based on how the shares of a blank-check acquisition vehicle with which it has agreed to merge trade. Trump will be allowed to sell shares in the combined company six months after the merger is completed, according to a regulatory filing. U.S. financial regulators greenlighted the deal this week. While Trump could also sell of parts of his real estate portfolio to satisfy the judgment, it is unclear how much his holdings are worth, and selling them could take time. Trump will not be able to use campaign funds to pay the judgment because the case was not related to his campaign or his conduct as a president or political candidate, according to some legal experts. In another civil case, a jury last month found that Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her by denying her claim that he raped her decades earlier. Trump has vowed to appeal. Another jury last year ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million in a separate case. CRIMINAL CASES Trump is under indictment in four criminal cases, including one in New York related to hush money paid to a porn star. The judge overseeing that case on Thursday set a March 25 trial date. Trump has also been charged in Florida for his handling of classified documents after leaving office and in Washington and in Georgia for his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Trump has pleaded not guilty in those cases. During the civil fraud case, Trump lashed out in the courtroom on Jan. 11 - the day of closing arguments - against the judge and James while proclaiming his innocence. "You have your own agenda," Trump scolded Engoron, who told Trump's lawyer "control your client." The judge during the trial fined Trump $15,000 for twice violating a gag order against disparaging court staff. Engoron ruled in September that Trump's financial statements were fraudulent, leaving the focus of the trial on how much Trump should pay in penalties. Trump tangles with judge as New York civil fraud trial wraps up. Trump reaped over $100 million through fraud, New York says as trial starts. Trump cannot deliver closing arguments at NY fraud trial, judge says. Trump should be banned from NY real estate for 'outrageous' fraud, attorney general says. The People's Republic Of New York City With a total population of over 8.3 million, the Big Apple is not only the largest sanctuary city in the nation but also one of its oldest. In August of 1989, then-Mayor Ed Koch (D) signed an executive order barring the disclosure of information about an individual’s immigration status unless required by law or if the subject “is suspected … of engaging in criminal activity.” Koch also issued executive orders allowing illegal aliens to access city services, which were subsequently reissued by Mayor Michael Bloomberg (R) in 2003. The city’s pro-sanctuary stance has only hardened since Bill de Blasio (D) assumed office, including adopting policies of noncompliance with immigration warrants except in very limited circumstances. NYC’s sanctuary policies led to such egregious crimes as the brutal rape and murder of 92-year-old Dominican immigrant Maria Fuertes by a Guyanese illegal alien in January 2020. The suspect had been in NYPD custody in November 2019 – after being charged with assaulting his own father and criminally possessing a weapon – but local authorities ignored an ICE detainer and set him free. Kevin O’Leary says he will no longer invest in ‘loser’ New York after Trump verdict “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary ripped into what he called “loser” New York and vowed to no longer invest in the state, when asked about a New York court’s $355 million verdict against former President Trump last week. Trump, his business and his top executives — including the former president’s sons — were dealt a major blow last Friday when Judge Arthur Engoron ordered him to pay more than $355 million for conspiring to alter his net worth to receive tax and insurance benefits. The order also blocks Trump from participating in New York business for three years. “This award, I mean, just leaving the whole Trump thing out of it and seeing what occurred here … And I’m no different than any other investor, I’m shocked at this,” O’Leary said in an interview Monday with Fox Business. “I can’t even understand or fathom the decision at all. There’s no rationale for it.” The award was part of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s (D) lawsuit against the former president, the Trump organization and his executives based on more than a decade of fraud and capped off a months-long civil fraud trial in the state. O’Leary, the chairman of O’Leary Ventures, argued New York was “already a loser state,” citing policy, high taxes and uncompetitive regulation as primary reasons. “It was already on the top of the list of being a loser state. I would never invest in New York now,” O’Leary said. “And I’m not the only person saying that.” O’Leary claimed existing businesses and new ventures are going to different states such as Texas and Florida. “So, they’ve got lots of work to do to find themselves getting out of this situation. This has all occurred post-pandemic … winner states versus loser states,” he said. Fox Business anchor Neil Cavuto then asked O’Leary what he thinks about New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) attempted assurances to New York business owners, in which she told residents there was “nothing to worry about.” “We’re very worried, every investor is worried because where is the victim? Who lost the money? This is some arbitrary decision a judge made,” O’Leary responded. “This policy … what does this say about the bar? About the legal bar in New York? Aren’t they going to question this judge? What is this?” “I’m sorry her words fall on deaf ears to everybody,” he added. “There’s nothing she can say to justify this decision. And this has nothing to do with Trump, nothing to do with Trump. Forget about Trump, this is not a Trump situation, this is a New York problem.” The Hill reached out to Hochul’s office for comment. Trump celebrated O’Leary’s remarks on his social media platform Truth Social, writing, “Kevin O’Leary is so great, and tells it like it is. Businesses will flee NYC & State after the Corrupt Judge’s ruling!” Trump Keeps NY Empire Intact as Judge Rescinds Asset-Sale Order Judge in September canceled Trump business licenses in state Asset-sale order could be revived if monitors find new fraud. Judge in September canceled Trump business licenses in state Asset-sale order could be revived if monitors find new fraud Donald Trump was banned from doing business in New York for three years and ordered to pay $354 million for lying about his wealth, but one thing missing from the judge’s order was an earlier edict to dissolve all the companies the billionaire owns in the state. In a surprise move, Justice Arthur Engoron backed off Friday when he issued punishments in the civil fraud case, walking back his earlier ruling and leaving Trump’s control over his New York empire largely intact — for now. Instead, the judge said any decision about forced sales would depend on what two appointed monitors learn about individual Trump businesses. Back in September, the judge ordered the cancellation of all Trump Organization LLC business licenses in New York after concluding before the trial that the real estate mogul was liable for a decade of fraud as alleged by the state in a lawsuit. That could have led to a messy liquidation process that threatened to expose Trump’s murky private businesses. Trump could fight cancellation of his business licenses, especially since the New York attorney general never requested it. Legal experts say Engoron’s order in September went above and beyond, and likened the ruling to a corporate death penalty, threatening Trump’s control of marquee properties like Trump Tower, the 72-story landmark 40 Wall Street and the Trump National Golf Club. Anthony Sabino, a law professor at St. John’s University in New York, called the original order “draconian.” He said, “The Trump Org is a complex organization, but this is an extreme remedy of punishing the entities and the real life people who work there. This is a like using a shotgun when you need a surgeon’s scalpel for certain bad actors.” Trump’s businesses involve hundreds of entities under the umbrella of the Trump Organization. About half the value of Trump’s real estate portfolio, worth some $1.5 billion, is located in New York state, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. While the businesses will be allowed to keep operating, Engoron said he’ll rely on two outside overseers to monitor “major activities that could lead to fraud.” The judge ordered a compliance director for Trump’s companies — who would join the monitor he’d already appointed. Engoron said he could renew his call for “restructuring and potential dissolution” based on “substantial evidence.” That means there’s still risk of forced asset sales in the future for Trump if Engoron changes his mind. “This is a venal sin, not a mortal sin,” Engoron wrote in a 92-page ruling against Trump, his two eldest sons and two former Trump Organization executives. The judge’s change of heart came as legal experts predicted the former president would have solid grounds for an appeal because dissolution orders are so rare, and because New York Attorney General Letitia James never asked the judge to consider it. “This is a big deal and has only happened a few times over the years,” said Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace University’s law school. “This is unlikely to be upheld on appeal.” ‘Irreparable Impact’ A Manhattan appeals court in October halted the dissolution order pending all appeals in the case. Christopher Kise, the former president’s lawyer, argued Engoron’s September decision would cause “irreparable impact on numerous companies” and 1,000 employees within the Trump empire. “This is everything owned or controlled by the defendant,” Kise said. “Once you dissolve, you dissolve. It’s chaos. It’s chaos right now.” Even lawyers for James said the state didn’t want penalties that kill off Trump’s businesses. Diana Florence, who spent 25 years as a Manhattan state prosecutor handling business fraud, called the certificate cancellations a “nuclear option” that would essentially kill Trump entities in the state. To be sure, much of the growth at the Trump Organization has increasingly come from outside New York. Revenue at his network of golf courses across the US and Britain has grown by more than 50% since 2019, and the boom in Florida has benefited his best-known assets there, Trump Doral and Mar-a-Lago. Canceling business certificates and a forced asset sale — should those ever occur — wouldn’t completely dissolve Trump’s company, but they would certainly impact his operations in the state. Small-Timers Adam Leitman Bailey, a Manhattan real estate lawyer, said the law invoked by the judge is usually employed against small-time swindlers rather than big businesses that have been around for generations. “This is not a statute they should be using to take down a billion-dollar business,” Leitman Bailey said. Dissolution would be a little like bankruptcy, with a receiver continuing to pay bills for the business until the assets are sold off. After paying off loans, employee salaries and money owed to vendors and suppliers, it’s possible that whatever remains would be returned to Trump. During a three-month trial, lawyers for New York argued that Trump inflated asset values on annual financial documents for more than a decade to dupe Deutsche Bank AG and other lenders into giving him better terms on hundreds of millions of dollars in loans. In his order Friday, the judge said documents presented as evidence in the case proved the state’s claims “over and over again.” He chastised Trump and his sons, saying their “complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological” and that they “are incapable of admitting the error of their ways.” Meanwhile, Engoron’s appointment of a compliance officer to oversee the company may complicate deal making and could accelerate the Trump Organization’s focus on growing outside of the state. “The long term issue here is the Trump legacy,” said Florence, the former state prosecutor. “This is the company that survives Donald Trump and will be inherited by his kids and grandkids, but it will be a much more diminished legacy he’ll leave behind.” Black Chicago Is Open City Residents Not Happy Move Stage Against Democrat Party - https://rumble.com/v42zusn-black-chicago-is-open-city-residents-not-happy-move-stage-against-democrat-.html We People's Republic Of America Declared Its An Sanctuary Cities You Ain't Black U Not Vote 4 Me.

Kathy Hochul is the 57th and first female Governor of New York State. New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after Justice Arthur F. Engoron of New York State Supreme Court ruled in her favor in her office’s civil fraud case against Donald Trump, the other individual defendants, and the Trump Organization entities, ordering the defendants to pay more than $450 million in total, which represents $363.8 million in disgorgement and pre-judgment interest: “Today, justice has been served. This is a tremendous victory for this state, this nation, and for everyone who believes that we all must play by the same rules — even former presidents. “For years, Donald Trump engaged in massive fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization. While he may have authored the ‘Art of the Deal,’ our case revealed that his business was based on the art of the steal. “When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of honest and hardworking people. Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage to buy a home, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people. “Now, Donald Trump is finally facing accountability for his lying, cheating, and staggering fraud. Because no matter how big, rich, or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law.” The decision issued today by Justice Arthur F. Engoron grants the following relief: Donald Trump and the other defendants are ordered to pay more than $450 million in total, which represents $363.8 million in disgorgement and pre-judgment interest; Donald Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and Jeffrey McConney are each banned from serving as an officer or director of any New York company for three years; Allen Weisselberg and Jeffrey McConney are additionally banned from serving in a financial management role in any New York company for life; Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump are banned from serving as an officer or director of any New York company for two years; Donald Trump and his companies are banned from applying for loans from any New York bank or financial institution for three years; A new, Independent Director of Compliance role will be created at the Trump Organization to ensure the company establishes internal protocols and meets financial reporting obligations; and The current independent, external monitor will continue to oversee the company’s financial dealings and ensure this fraud cannot continue. Following a three-year investigation, in September 2022 Attorney General James filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, a number of Trump Organization companies, and senior executives for engaging in years of financial fraud and illegal conduct. In September 2023, before this trial began, Justice Engoron issued a ruling granting Attorney General James' motion for partial summary judgment, finding that Donald Trump and the defendants committed fraud by falsely inflating the value of his assets. Today’s decision and order that Donald Trump and the other individual defendants also engaged in illegal conduct and that relief against the defendants is necessary to prevent further fraudulent and illegal conduct comes after 11 weeks of trial, which concluded with closing arguments last month. The investigation and subsequent legal action were conducted by Senior Enforcement Counsel Kevin Wallace, Special Counsel Andrew Amer, Assistant Attorney General Colleen K. Faherty, Assistant Attorney General Alex Finkelstein, Assistant Attorney General Wil Handley, Assistant Attorney General Stephanie Torre, Assistant Attorney General Sherief Gaber, Special Counsel Eric R. Haren, Real Estate Finance Enforcement Section Chief Louis M. Solomon, former Assistant Attorney General Mark Ladov, former Assistant Attorney General Austin Thompson, and Legal Support Analysts Samantha Stern and Labiba Hasan.

Appellate support was provided by Deputy Solicitor General Judith Vale, Deputy Solicitor General Ester Murdukhayeva, Senior Assistant Solicitor General Dennis Fan, Assistant Solicitor General Cleland Welton, Assistant Solicitor General Daniel Magy, and former Assistant Solicitor General Eric Del Pozo. The investigation was overseen by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy. https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/decisions/trump-decision.pdf At Trump's New York fraud trial, judge makes clear who's in charge As Donald Trump on Monday began using his time on the witness stand at his civil fraud trial to air grievances and avoid direct answers to questions, Arthur Engoron, the trial judge and a prime Trump target, decided enough was enough. "Mr. Kise, can you control your client?" Engoron asked Trump's lawyer, Christopher Kise. "This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom." It wasn't the first time the 74-year-old Engoron, a former taxicab driver who has spent two decades on the bench, lost patience with the defense in New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit. James has accused Trump, his family business, his adult sons and many other defendants of manipulating financial statements, asset values and Trump's net worth to defraud banks and insurers. Since the trial began in a downtown Manhattan courtroom one month ago, Engoron has fined the former U.S. president twice for violating a gag order barring him from criticizing the judge's law clerk, and on Nov. 3 expanded that order to cover Trump's lawyers. Trump, a Republican, criticized James while on the witness stand, saying the Democrat "should be ashamed of herself" for leading what he again called a "political witch hunt." He was also unsparing with Engoron, a Democrat and American Civil Liberties Union member, telling the courtroom that on a question of law "I'm sure the judge will rule against me because he always rules against me." During Monday’s proceedings, Engoron threatened to cut off Trump’s defiant, often rambling testimony. When Trump resisted answering a yes-or-no question from a lawyer from James' office on the valuation of a Wall Street office tower, Engoron interrupted. The AG pushed back in court documents, citing the need in a democratic society for the American public to have access to ongoing court battles. Her lawyers also quoted legal precedent that “neither the potential for embarrassment or damage to reputation, nor the general desire for privacy, constitutes good cause to seal court records.” On Tuesday afternoon, Judge Engoron said he’d allow the companies to hide personal information, but he sided with the AG that most of the documents should stay in the open. “Here, the non-parties have failed to demonstrate a compelling interest in favor of wholesale sealing that outweighs the public’s right to access and the presumption in favor of open judicial proceedings,” Engoron wrote. https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=6wKFp15FRWIkdvD9RKilQg==&system=prod Meet Letitia James...

Be true to yourself’ A message from Admiral Rachel Levine the nation’s highest-ranking openly transgender official We The People Of The New World Order Year Zero Rachel Levine is one of USA TODAY’s Women of the Year, a recognition of women across the country who have made a significant impact. The annual program is a continuation of Women of the Century, a 2020 project that commemorated the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote. In any administration, the public health of Americans is a priority – a tenet that signifies prosperity and perseverance among us. But during a global pandemic, when relative calm turns to crisis seemingly overnight, community well-being instantly becomes a matter of life or death for millions of Americans. Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, this fact continues to keep Adm. Rachel Levine up at night. Levine is the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, where she leads a group of 6,000 uniformed public health officers. In normal times, her job is important. During a pandemic, it's crucial. "I really feel that everything I've ever done, whether it was in academic medicine, in education, in clinical research, seeing my patients in my role in public health, in Pennsylvania and now my role nationally," Levine said, "has all led to this moment in terms of helping the nation through this greatest public health crisis that we have faced in over a hundred years." Levine, 64, a trained pediatrician, became the nation's highest-ranking openly transgender official last March when the Senate confirmed her as assistant secretary of health. Levine has spent her professional life in medicine – as an academic, a clinical researcher, a primary care physician and as Pennsylvania's physical general and secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health – but she admits her current role has proven to be the most challenging. Women of the Year honoree Admiral Rachel Levine defines courage(3:10) Admiral Rachel Levine, one of USA TODAY's Women of the Year honorees, is a ground-breaking leader who credits family support for helping her succeed. USA TODAY Beyond the pandemic, Levine said she is concerned about the challenges women and girls face related to body image. She ran an eating disorder program at Penn State University and was struck by the pressures of social media related to appearance. "We need to be welcoming and celebratory for women of all aspects, of all sizes and shapes," she said. "And we have to work towards that compassion for all women and not put such an emphasis on thinness and appearance. I think that we need to work as a culture in the United States, but also globally, to be more compassionate and more accepting of girls and women, no matter what their size and shape." Still, Levine believes that women are largely responsible for the positive changes we are seeing in society. “Women are absolutely critical in terms of promoting healthy behaviors for themselves and their families and our communities,” Levine said. “I think women are often the creators of change. In terms of the changes that we see in our society and our culture, I think that women are those changemakers.” Joan Rivers Calls President Obama Gay, Says First Lady Is ‘Tranny’ (Video) The incendiary comedian told a reporter that "we all know" Michelle Obama is transgender. Joan Rivers, no stranger to controversy, told a reporter this week that President Barack Obama is gay and that first lady Michelle Obama is “a transgender.” Rivers was asked by a reporter on the street about her Monday appearance at a bookstore in New York City, where she officiated an impromptu gay wedding between two of her fans. The reporter then asked her whether the U.S. will ever see a gay president, to which the 81-year-old Rivers responded, “We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down.” Rivers started to walk away before adding, “You know Michelle is a tranny.” When the reporter asked her to confirm what she had said, Rivers said, “A transgender. We all know.” The comedian earned a rebuke from the Anti-Defamation League in 2012 after likening Costco to Nazi Germany when the store refused to sell her book. Adolf Hitler: Man of the Year, 1938 Greatest single news event of 1938 took place on September 29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of Europe. The three visiting statesmen at that historic conference were Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of France, and Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. But by all odds the dominating figure at Munich was the German host, Adolf Hitler. Führer of the German people, Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years. He had torn the Treaty of Versailles to shreds. He had rearmed Germany to the teeth— or as close to the teeth as he was able. He had stolen Austria before the eyes of a horrified and apparently impotent world. All these events were shocking to nations which had defeated Germany on the battlefield only 20 years before, but nothing so terrified the world as the ruthless, methodical, Nazi-directed events which during late summer and early autumn threatened a world war over Czechoslovakia. When without loss of blood he reduced Czechoslovakia to a German puppet state, forced a drastic revision of Europe's defensive alliances, and won a free hand for himself in Eastern Europe by getting a "hands-off" promise from powerful Britain (and later France), Adolf Hitler without doubt became 1938's Man of the Year. Most other world figures of 1938 faded in importance as the year drew to a close. Prime Minister Chamberlain's "peace with honor'' seemed more than ever to have achieved neither. An increasing number of Britons ridiculed his appease-the-dictators policy, believed that nothing save abject surrender could satisfy the dictators' ambitions. Among many Frenchmen there rose a feeling that Premier Daladier, by a few strokes of the pen at Munich, had turned France into a second-rate power. Aping Mussolini in his gestures and copying triumphant Hitler's shouting complex, the once liberal Daladier at year's end was reduced to using parliamentary tricks to keep his job. During 1938 Dictator Mussolini was only a decidedly junior partner in the firm of Hitler & Mussolini, Inc. His noisy agitation to get Corsica and Tunis from France was rated as a weak bluff whose immediate objectives were no more than cheaper tolls for Italian ships in the Suez Canal and control of the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railroad. Gone from the international scene was Eduard Benes, for 20 years Europe's "Smartest Little Statesman." Last President of free Czechoslovakia, he was now a sick exile from the country he helped found. Pious Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, Man of 1937, was forced to retreat to a "New" West China, where he faced the possibility of becoming only a respectable figurehead in an enveloping Communist movement. If Francisco Franco had won the Spanish Civil War after his great spring drive, he might well have been Man-of-the-Year timber. But victory still eluded the Generalissimo and war weariness and disaffection on the Rightist side made his future precarious. Joseph Stalin was chosen as Time's Person of the Year twice in 1939 and 1942. He was an influential figure of the era between his brutal, bloody rise to power in Russia and his central role in defeating the Nazis during World War II. Stalin's name means steel in Russian, whose few words of English include the American expression 'tough guy'. In 1957, Nikita Khrushchev, who succeeded Stalin as leader of the Soviet Union, was awarded the title. TIME's past picks for Person of the Year have been deemed controversial by other media outlets. Adolf Hitler was named Time's Person of the Year in 1938, based on TIME founder Henry Luce's dictum that the Man of the Year should be a distinction applied to the newsmaker who most influenced world events for better or worse. Who Killed More: Hitler, Stalin, or Mao? In these pages nearly seven years ago, Timothy Snyder asked the provocative question: Who killed more, Hitler or Stalin? As useful as that exercise in moral rigor was, some think the question itself might have been slightly off. Instead, it should have included a third tyrant of the 20th century, Chairman Mao. And not just that, but that Mao should have been the hands-down winner, with his ledger easily trumping the European dictators’. While these questions can devolve into morbid pedantry, they raise moral questions that deserve a fresh look, especially as these months mark the 60th anniversary of the launch of Mao’s most infamous experiment in social engineering, the Great Leap Forward. It was this campaign that caused the deaths of tens of millions and catapulted Mao Zedong into the big league of 20th-century murders. But Mao’s mistakes are more than a chance to reflect on the past. They are also now part of a central debate in Xi Jinping’s China, where the Communist Party is renewing a long-standing battle to protect its legitimacy by limiting discussions of Mao. The immediate catalyst for the Great Leap Forward took place in late 1957 when Mao visited Moscow for the grand celebration of the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution (another interesting contrast to recent months, with discussion of its centenary stifled in Moscow and largely ignored in Beijing). The Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev, had already annoyed Mao by criticizing Stalin, whom Mao regarded as one of the great figures of Communist history. If even Stalin could be purged, Mao could be challenged, too. In addition, the Soviet Union had just launched the world’s first satellite, Sputnik, which Mao felt overshadowed his accomplishments. He returned to Beijing eager to assert China’s position as the world’s leading Communist nation. This, along with his general impatience, spurred a series of increasingly reckless decisions that led to the worst famine in history. The first signs of Mao’s designs came on January 1, 1958, when the Communist Party’s mouthpiece, People’s Daily, published an article calling for “going all out” and “aiming higher”—code phrases for putting aside patient economic development in favor of radical policies aimed at rapid growth. Mao drove home his plans in a series of meetings over the next months, including a crucial one—from January 11 to 20 in the southern Chinese city of Nanning—that changed the Communist Party’s political culture. Until that moment, Mao had been first among equals, but moderates had often been able to rein him in. Then, in several extraordinary outbursts, he accused any leader who opposed “rash advance” of being counter-revolutionary. As became the pattern of his reign, no one successfully stood up to him. Having silenced Party opposition, Mao pushed for the creation of communes—effectively nationalizing farmers’ property. People were to eat in canteens and share agricultural equipment, livestock, and production, with food allocated by the state. Local Party leaders were ordered to obey fanciful ideas for increasing crop yields, such as planting crops closer together. The idea was to create China’s own Sputnik—harvests astronomically greater than any in human history. This might have resulted in no more harm than local officials’ falsifying statistics to meet quotas, except that the state relied on these numbers to calculate taxes on farmers. To meet their taxes, farmers were forced to send any grain they had to the state as if they were producing these insanely high yields. Ominously, officials also confiscated seed grain to meet their targets. So, while storehouses bulged with grain, farmers had nothing to eat and nothing to plant the next spring. Compounding this crisis were equally deluded plans to bolster steel production through the creation of “backyard furnaces”—small coal- or wood-fired kilns that were somehow supposed to create steel out of iron ore. Unable to produce real steel, local Party officials ordered farmers to melt down their agricultural implements to satisfy Mao’s national targets. The result was that farmers had no grain, no seeds, and no tools. Famine set in. When, in 1959, Mao was challenged about these events at a Party conference, he purged his enemies. Enveloped by an atmosphere of terror, officials returned to China’s provinces to double down on Mao’s policies. Tens of millions died. No independent historian doubts that tens of millions died during the Great Leap Forward, but the exact numbers, and how one reconciles them, have remained matters of debate. The overall trend, though, has been to raise the figure, despite pushback from Communist Party revisionists and a few Western sympathizers. On the Chinese side, this involves a cottage industry of Mao apologists willing to do whatever it takes to keep the Mao name sacred: historians working at Chinese institutions who argue that the numbers have been inflated by bad statistical work. Their most prominent spokesperson is Sun Jingxian, a mathematician at Shandong University and Jiangsu Normal University. He attributes changes in China’s population during this period as due to faulty statistics, changes in how households were registered, and a series of other obfuscatory factors. His conclusion: famine killed only 3.66 million people. This contradicts almost every other serious effort at accounting for the effects of Mao’s changes. The first reliable scholarly estimates derived from the pioneering work of the demographer Judith Banister, who in 1987 used Chinese demographic statistics to come up with the remarkably durable estimate of 30 million, and the journalist Jasper Becker, who in his 1996 work Hungry Ghosts gave these numbers a human dimension and offered a clear, historical analysis of the events. At the most basic level, the early works took the net decline in China’s population during this period and added to that the decline in the birth rate—a classic effect of famine. Later scholars refined this methodology by looking at local histories compiled by government offices that gave very detailed accounts of famine conditions. Triangulating these two sources of information results in estimates that start in the mid-20 millions and go up to 45 million. Two more recent accounts give what are widely regarded as the most credible numbers. One, in 2008, is by the Chinese journalist Yang Jisheng, who estimates that 35 million died. Hong Kong University’s Frank Dikötter has a higher but equally plausible estimate of 45 million. Besides adjusting the numbers upward, Dikötter and others have made another important point: many deaths were violent. Communist Party officials beat to death anyone suspected of hoarding grain, or people who tried to escape the death farms by traveling to cities. Regardless of how one views these revisions, the Great Leap Famine was by far the largest famine in history. It was also man-made—and not because of war or disease, but by government policies that were flawed and recognized as such at the time by reasonable people in the Chinese government. Can all this be blamed on Mao? Traditionally, Mao apologists blame any deaths that did occur on natural disasters. Even today, this era is known in China as the period of “three years of natural disasters” or the “three years of difficulty.” We can discard natural causes; yes, there were some problems with drought and flooding, but China is a huge country regularly beset by droughts and floods. Chinese governments through the centuries have been adept at famine relief; a normal government, especially a modern bureaucratic state with a vast army and unified political party at its disposal, should have been able to handle the floods and droughts that farmers encountered at the end of the 1950s. What of the explanation that Mao meant well but that his policies were misguided, or carried out too zealously by subordinates? But Mao knew early enough that his policies were resulting in famine. He could have changed course, but he stubbornly stuck to his guns in order to retain power. In addition, his purging of senior leaders set the tone at the grass-roots level; if he had pursued a less radical policy and listened to advice, and encouraged his underlings to do so as well, their actions would surely have been different. But Mao’s policies were responsible for other deaths on top of those caused by the famine. The Cultural Revolution—the 10-year period (1966-1976) of government-instigated chaos and violence against imagined enemies—resulted in probably 2 to 3 million deaths, according to historians such as Song Yongyi of California State University Los Angeles, who has compiled extensive databases on these sensitive periods of history. I called to ask for his estimates, and he said he would add another 1 to 2 million for other campaigns, such as land-reform and “anti-rightist” movements in the 1950s. The University of Freiburg’s Daniel Leese gave me similar figures. He estimates 32 million in the Great Leap Forward, 1.1 to 1.6 million for the Cultural Revolution, and another million for the other campaigns. It is probably fair to say, then, that Mao was responsible for about 1.5 million deaths during the Cultural Revolution, another million for the other campaigns, and between 35 million and 45 million for the Great Leap Famine. Taking a middle number for the famine, 40 million, that’s about 42.5 million deaths. At this point, I must digress briefly to deal with two specters that diligent researchers will find on the Internet and even on the shelves of otherwise reputable bookstores. One is the political scientist Rudolph Rummel (1932-2014), a non-China specialist who made wildly higher estimates than any other historian—that Mao was responsible for 77 million deaths. His work is disregarded as polemical, but has a strange life online, where it is cited regularly by anyone who wants to score a quick victory for Mao. Equally scorned but extremely influential is the British-based author Jung Chang. After writing a bestselling memoir about her family (the most popular in what now seems like an endless succession of imitators), she moved on to write, along with her husband, Jon Halliday, popular history, including a biography of Mao as monster. Few historians take their work seriously, and several of the most influential figures in the field—including Andrew J. Nathan, Timothy Cheek, Jonathan Spence, Geremie Barmé, Gao Mobo, and David S.G. Goodman—published a book to rebut it. No matter: a dozen years after publication, Chang’s work is still on bookshelves around the Western world, while the Amazon blurb misleadingly calls it “the most authoritative life of the Chinese leader ever written.” According to Chang, Mao was responsible for 70 million deaths in peacetime—“more than any other twentieth-century leader.” The “peacetime” adjective is significant because it gets Hitler out of the picture. But is starting a war of aggression less of a crime than launching economic policies that cause a famine? How, finally, does Mao’s record compare to those of Hitler or Stalin? Snyder estimates that Hitler was responsible for between 11 million and 12 million noncombatant deaths, while Stalin was responsible for at least 6 million, and as many as 9 million if “foreseeable” deaths caused by deportation, starvation, and incarceration in concentration camps are included. But the Hitler and Stalin numbers invite questions that Mao’s higher ones do not. Should we let Hitler, especially, off the hook for combatant deaths in World War II? It’s probably fair to say that without Hitler, there wouldn’t have been a European war. If one includes the combatant deaths, and the deaths due to war-related famine and disease, the numbers shoot up astronomically. The Soviet Union suffered upward of 8 million combatant deaths and many more due to famine and disease—perhaps about 20 million. Then again, wasn’t Stalin partly responsible for those deaths, because he purged his best generals and adopted reckless military policies? As for Hitler, should his deaths include the hundreds of thousands who died in the aerial bombardments of Germans cities? After all, it was his decision to strip German cities of anti-aircraft batteries to replace lost artillery following the debacle at Stalingrad. And what of the millions of Germans in the East who died after being ethnically cleansed and driven by the Red Army from their homes? On whose ledger do they belong? These considerations add to Stalin’s totals, but they still more increase Hitler’s. Slowly, Hitler’s numbers approach Mao’s. And there is the sensitive matter of percentages. Mao’s numbers are high because of the famine, without which he wouldn’t be in the running for butcher of the century. But if Mao had been the leader of Thailand, he wouldn’t be in the running: it was because his policies played out in China, with the world’s largest population, that they resulted in such high absolute numbers of deaths. So is Mao simply a reflection of the fact that anything that happens in China becomes a superlative? And that, by definition, the world’s Pol Pots can never compete? Relativizing can be perilous. As Snyder writes, “the difference between zero and one is an infinity” (thinking, perhaps, of the dictum often attributed to Stalin that “a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic”). It is true that we can grasp when a loved one dies but have a harder time accepting when the difference is between a million and a million and one deaths. But the correct answer, of course, is that even one extra death tilts the scales. Death is an absolute. Yet all these numbers are little more than well-informed guesstimates. There are no records that will magically resolve the question of exactly how many died in the Mao era. We can only extrapolate based on flawed sources. If the percentage of deaths attributable to the famine is slightly changed, that’s the difference between 30 and 45 million deaths. So, in these sorts of discussions, the difference between one and two isn’t infinity but a rounding error. Mao didn’t order people to their deaths in the same way that Hitler did, so it’s fair to say that Mao’s famine deaths were not genocide—in contrast, arguably, to Stalin’s Holodomor in the Ukraine, the terror-famine described by journalist and historian Anne Applebaum in Red Famine (2017). One can argue that by closing down discussion in 1959, Mao sealed the fate of tens of millions, but almost every legal system in the world recognizes the difference between murder in the first degree and manslaughter or negligence. Shouldn’t the same standards apply to dictators? When Khrushchev took Stalin off his pedestal, the Soviet state still had Lenin as its idealized founding father. That allowed Khrushchev to purge the dictator without delegitimizing the Soviet state. By contrast, Mao himself and his successors have always realized that he was both China’s Lenin and its Stalin. Thus, after Mao died, the Communist Party settled on a formula of declaring that Mao had made mistakes—about 30 percent of what he did was declared wrong and 70 percent was right. That’s essentially the formula used today. Mao’s mistakes were set down, and commissions sent out to explore the worst of his crimes, but his picture remains on Tiananmen Square. Xi Jinping has held fast to this view of Mao in recent years. In Xi’s way of looking at China, the country had roughly 30 years of Maoism and 30 years of Deng Xiaoping’s economic liberalization and rapid growth. Xi has warned that neither era can negate the other; they are inseparable. How to deal with Mao? Many Chinese, especially those who lived through his rule, do so by publishing underground journals or documentary films. Perhaps typically for a modern consumer society, though, Mao and his memory have also been turned into kitschy products. The first commune—the “Sputnik” commune that launched the Great Leap Forward—is now a retreat for city folk who want to experience the joys of rural life. One in 10 villagers there died of famine, and people were dragged off and flayed for trying to hide grain from government officials. Today, urbanites go there to decompress from the stresses of modern life. Foreigners aren’t exempt from this sort of historical amnesia, either. One of Beijing’s most popular breweries is the “Great Leap” brewery, which features a Mao-era symbol of a fist clenching a beer stein, instead of the clods of grass and earth that farmers tried to eat during the famine. Perhaps because of the revolting idea of a brew pub being named after a famine, the company began in 2015 to explain on its website that the name came not from Maoist history but an obscure Song dynasty song. Only when you’re young and fat, goes the verse, does one dare risk a great leap. Below Is 96 Video's Link's And Text To Watch And Read A True Warning To America Today !

Almost all minors under the age of 18 are subject to California's child labor protections, and dropouts are subject to all state child labor law requirements. The FLSA also establishes a minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping for part- and full-time child laborers on wages, hours, and other regular business practices. https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/childlaborlawpamphlet.pdf https://www.fsw.edu/assets/pdf/humanresources/posters/Child_Labor_Laws.pdf https://dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/sped/pdf/tran-child-labor-laws.pdf In 2021, President Joe Biden nominated and the U.S. Senate confirmed Zahid Quraishi as the first Muslim U.S. District Judge, for the District of New Jersey. https://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/america-sharia-law.html In 1984 Tried To Warn Us We The People About Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’ You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever. What this diagram shows is that many of us are still stuck in a dichotomous way of thinking, when there are eons of possibilities for a political perspective. Left and right are the most basic division in politics but that should not encourage or pressure people to conform to simply one side or another. I love Information and is infographics hold a special place in my heart for their ability to effectively convey information in appealing and efficient ways. In response to the point you make, I agree that we seem to have been protected from the possible existence of ambivalence in political views as if it were some sort of secret. It feels a little strange to say that it is for the public’s best interest, but that’s sort of what I’m arguing. The left – right divide may not so much serve as dichotomous camps that we must choose between, rather they serve as a simplified roadmap to guide the less politically aware public. What will determine where you place yourself will depend on how much weight you give to specific topics. It’s generally accepted that the citizenship will not know about where they stand on each individual issue, so by using this shortcut they can hopefully make an educated guess that will eventually serve them well.

Their stories greatly undermined Pope Francis’ pledges of “zero tolerance” for abuse because the alleged crimes occurred in his own backyard and had gone unpunished for years. The report also criticized the way the media reported sexual crimes, stating that the New World Order media reported on sexual abuse allegations against Catholic clergy but ignored such allegations against Protestant churches and Jehovah's Witnesses. Stephen Joseph Rossetti, a Catholic priest, reported that the frequency of pedophilia amongst the Catholic clergy is no higher than among general population, and a Catholic priest is no more likely to be a pedophile than an average male.

Secret societies have been in existence all throughout history. Elites, crazed by power and money, band together to exert maximum control over the masses. In 2026 their influence is greater than ever – their tentacles reaching all aspects of our daily life through control of the economy, religion, education and politics. While the world may seem chaotic and confusing to those who are not in the know, those who have studied the history of international secret societies are blessed with an understanding of the evil agenda pushed by the cabal. Why is it a blessing to understand the evil that is in our midst? Wouldn’t it be better to be naïve and live with our heads in the sand? No. It is only through understanding this evil that we can fight back and reject the New World Order they are working towards. Why Most America Want And Keep Vote For A Democratic Socialism Vs. Communism In USA Socialism and Communism both place much value on creating a more equal society and removing class privilege. The biggest difference between them is that socialism is compatible with liberty and democracy, while communism depends on an authoritarian state to create an “equal society” that denies basic liberties. Political Independents Who They Are, What They Think. ? Independents often are portrayed as political free agents with the potential to alleviate the nation’s rigid partisan divisions. Yet the reality is that most independents are not all that “independent” politically. And the small share of Americans who are truly independent – less than 10% of the public has no partisan leaning – stand out for their low level of interest in politics. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2019/03/14/political-independents-who-they-are-what-they-think/ The primary difference between communism vs socialism is the nature of ownership of assets. In communism, the ownership of the factories, residential properties, and agricultural lands is state-owned without any private ownership. However, in socialism, the ownership of land, factories, and agricultural land lie with the private sector or individuals. Socialism can exist within the framework of democracy, whereas democracy has no place in communism. In communism, there is no religion besides the state. Socialism allows people to practice their religion.

The History of Armed Forces Day On Aug. 31, 1949, Defense Secretary Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the armed forces under one agency -- the Department of Defense. In a speech announcing the creation of the day, President Truman "praised the work of the military services at home and across the seas." He said, "It is vital to the security of the nation and to the establishment of a desirable peace." In an excerpt from the Presidential Proclamation of Feb. 27, 1950, Truman stated: "Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950, marks the first combined demonstration by America's defense team of its progress, under the National Security Act, toward the goal of readiness for any eventuality. It is the first parade of preparedness by the unified forces of our land, sea, and air defense." Armed Forces Day Themes Each year, Armed Forces Day has a new theme. The very first theme was "Teamed for Defense." Over the years, other themes have included Appreciation of a Nation; Arsenal of Freedom and Democracy; Dedication and Devotion; Deter if Possible, Fight if Necessary; Freedom; Freedom Through Unity; Guardians of Peace; Lasting Peace; Liberty; and Patriotism. How to Celebrate Armed Forces Day The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions, and air shows. In Washington, D.C., 10,000 troops of all branches of the military, cadets and veterans marched past the president and his party. In Berlin, 1,000 U.S. troops paraded for the German citizens at Tempelhof Airfield. In New York City, an estimated 33,000 participants initiated Armed Forces Day "under an air cover of 250 military planes of all types." Today, Armed Forces Day is celebrated in American communities and on military bases throughout the world with parades, picnics, shopping discounts, festivals and parties. Stay Up-to-Date With Military Discounts Want the scoop on military discounts? From travel to phones and everything in between, troops, military families and veterans can stay on top of military discounts. Armed Forces Day 2021 will be celebrated on Saturday, May 15th. This holiday pays tribute to men and women who serve across all six branches in the United States military. Read on to find out more about the history of this observance and see suggested searches and related resources. Armed Forces Day Historical Timeline July 26, 1947 – President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act into law (*Statute Compilation, codified in Title 50 of the U.S. Code: War and National Defense). This Act unified the four branches of the military under a single executive authority, the Secretary of Defense. This decision led to the creation of the National Military Establishment. August 31, 1949 – Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced Armed Forces Day as a unification of the separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force celebrations, a reflection of the unification of the forces under the National Security Act. Armed Forces Day was intended to replace the separate days of celebration, but some branches maintain their own celebration in addition to the joint observance. (Source: Defense.gov ) Read remarks from Senator Lodge on Secretary Johnson's announcement as printed in the Congressional Record on April 7, 1949. February 27, 1950 – The first Armed Forces day was proclaimed by Presidential Proclamation 2873, but not observed until May that year. President Truman declared, "Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950, marks the first combined demonstration by America's defense team of its progress, under the National Security Act, towards the goal of readiness for any eventuality. It is the first formal procession of preparedness by the unified forces of our land, sea, and air defense." May 20, 1950 – Armed Forces Day is first celebrated. U.S.A. Anniversary Parade And People's Celebrations Presided Over Branches of the Armed Forces Day (Very Sad) Sorry Very Hard Find Parade (World Is Laugh At US) ? The history of the U.S. Armed Forces dates back to 14 June 1775, with the creation of the Continental Army, even before the Declaration of Independence marked the establishment of the United States. The Continental Navy, established on 13 October 1775, and Continental Marines, established on 10 November 1775 were created in close succession by the Second Continental Congress in order to defend the new nation against the British Empire during their American Revolutionary War. In 1982 Air Force Space Command was established as its first operational space command and has continued to grow over time as DOD sought to consolidate its forces. What is the U.S. Space Force and what does it do? The Space Force motto, "Semper supra," is Latin for "Always above," a phrase that encapsulates the service's mission. The United States Space Force was established as the sixth and newest branch of the U.S. Armed Forces on Dec. 20, 2019 when the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law. Before that, the United States hadn't created a new military branch since 1946, when it stood up the Air Force. The push for a dedicated branch of the armed services devoted to the final frontier gained steam as orbital space became increasingly crowded and contested. As the United States' critical infrastructure became increasingly dependent on satellites for communication, navigation, meteorology and intelligence, the U.S. Department of Defense likewise identified a need for a branch of the military dedicated solely to operating and protecting these assets. Thus, Space Force was created. The service's motto, "Semper supra," is Latin for "Always above," a phrase that encapsulates the Space Force's mission. Its symbol, the Delta, signifies the service's responsibilities and mission while honoring its long history that began long before the Space Force was created in 2019. The history of the U.S. Space Force dates back to 1954 when the U.S. Air Force created a division tasked with overseeing the U.S. military's ballistic missiles. This division evolved several times throughout the following decades and merged with other organizations as the United States began placing more satellites in orbit for communications and early missile warning systems. In 1982, the Air Force stood up Air Force Space Command, making it the first operational space command in the U.S. Armed Forces. Air Force Space Command continued to grow from the 1980s onward as the Department of Defense (DOD) sought to consolidate its space operations. On Dec. 20, 2019, Air Force Space Command was renamed United States Space Force and was established as an independent service when President Donald Trump signed the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, the laws overseen by the U.S. Congress that authorize annual military expenditures. Under the structure signed into law, Space Force would be part of the U.S. Department of the Air Force, in much the same way that the United States Marine Corps is part of the U.S. Department of the Navy. At its creation, 16,000 military and civilian personnel were assigned to the Space Force. As of January 2023, the service consists of 4,286 enlisted service members and 4,314 officers, according to the Air Force Times(opens in new tab), making it the smallest branch of the U.S. military. The U.S. Navy, by comparison, has well over 300,000 active duty members, while the U.S. Army boasts close to 500,000 active service members. Space Force service members are known as Guardians, a name announced in a 2020 ceremony marking the service's first anniversary. The service's service dress uniforms were debuted in a Sept. 2021 ceremony, revealing them to be a six-button double-breasted tunic that drew comparisons(opens in new tab) to the costumes worn in the sci-fi series "Battlestar Galactica." According to the U.S. Space Force's mission statement(opens in new tab), the service is responsible for "organizing, training, and equipping Guardians to conduct global space operations that enhance the way our joint and coalition forces fight, while also offering decision-makers military options to achieve national objectives." To accomplish this mission, Space Force is organized into three main divisions: Field commands, Deltas and squadrons. The service's three field commands are Space Operations Command (SpOC), Space Systems Command (SSC) and Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM). Field commands oversee broad mission goals. Space Operations Command, for example, is responsible for providing "combat ready" space capabilities, cyber operations and intelligence in support of U.S. military operations, according to a SpOc fact sheet(opens in new tab). Space Systems Command, meanwhile, is responsible for the service's development and acquisition of new space technologies and capabilities. The command's website(opens in new tab) writes that SSC is tasked with "developing, acquiring, equipping, fielding and sustaining lethal and resilient space capabilities for warfighters." This mission includes overseeing launch operations and on-orbit maintenance of DOD satellites and other space systems. Space Training and Readiness Command, or STARCOM, as its name suggests, is tasked with educating and training Space Force personnel "to fight and win in a contested, degraded, and operationally limited environment through the deliberate development, education and training of space professionals; development of space warfighting doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures; and the test and evaluation of USSF capabilities," according to its website(opens in new tab). Within each field command are various Space Force Deltas. Deltas have a much more specific function, such as operations, training or facility support, according to a 2020 Space Force statement(opens in new tab). For example, Space Launch Delta 45(opens in new tab) (SLD 45) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida is tasked with overseeing all space launch operations from the U.S. East Coast, including from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. SLD 45 manages the Eastern Range, a massive rocket range that stretches out over the Atlantic Ocean into the Indian Ocean, and provides launch support for the DOD, NASA and private space launch providers. Each Delta is further divided into squadrons, each tasked with a specific purpose that supports the overall mission of its respective field command. The 45th Weather Squadron(opens in new tab), for example, is part of Space Launch Delta 45 at Patrick Space Force Base in Florida and is responsible for performing weather observations and making forecasts in support of launch operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA's Kennedy Space Center. These squadrons, Deltas, and field commands work together to ensure that the Space Force can protect U.S. space assets as Earth orbit becomes increasingly contested. In recent decades, the United States' peer adversaries such as China and Russia have advanced their own space capabilities to the point where U.S. satellites are under attack daily, according to U.S. Space Force Gen. David Thompson, then vice chief of space operations. Thompson told The Washington Post(opens in new tab) in 2021 that "threats are really growing and expanding every single day. And it's really an evolution of activity that's been happening for a long time," adding that "we're really at a point now where there's a whole host of ways that our space systems can be threatened." More recent statements by U.S. Space Force leadership echo this same sentiment. Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, the branch's chief of space operations, said at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California in December 2022 that protecting United States capabilities in space has become one of the Pentagon's top priorities, SpaceNews reported(opens in new tab). "The capability that space offers has demonstrated its value so much so that both sides are engaged in trying to counter those capabilities and deny those advantages to the opponent," Saltzman said. Space is "clearly a contested domain," he added. The ways in which satellites and other spacecraft can be threatened or countered range from reversible, non-damaging capabilities on one end such as jamming GPS transmission or using lasers to blind satellites' optical sensors, to the other end that includes destructive anti-satellite missiles, tests of which have drawn condemnation from the international community. The U.S. Space Force has units tasked with tracking these threats and engaging in "on-orbit combat," although the exact capabilities of these units remain classified — as do many of the service's assets and technologies. The U.S. Space Force systems and capabilities that are unclassified and known to the public include (but are not limited to) the Global Positioning System (GPS), overseen by Space Delta 8 at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado; the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program(opens in new tab) (DMSP) that provides weather data to the U.S. military; and a wide variety of intelligence, surveillance and missile early warning systems like the Next Generation Overhead Persistent InfraRed(opens in new tab) system (Next-Gen OPIR), Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) program and the Space Tracking and Surveillance System.(opens in new tab) Space Force also tracks objects from low Earth orbit all the way to deep space using a variety of ground-based sensors like the Ground-Based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance(opens in new tab) (GEODSS) system. Perhaps most well-known of all Space Force assets is the X-37B, the Boeing-built space plane whose missions remain largely mysterious despite many high-profile long-duration flights in orbit. Since the creation of the Space Force, the service has largely turned to commercial launch providers to loft its satellites and other assets to orbit. Since 2020, ULA and SpaceX have been the exclusive launch providers for the U.S. Space Force, although the service is looking to partner with more providers from 2023 onward, according to Space News(opens in new tab). Today, U.S. Space Force operates six dedicated Space Force bases, two of which host orbital launches for the service's many satellites and spacecraft. These include: Buckley Space Force Base(opens in new tab), Aurora, Colorado Los Angeles Air Force Base(opens in new tab), El Segundo, California Patrick Space Force Base(opens in new tab), Brevard County, Florida Peterson Space Force Base(opens in new tab), Colorado Springs, Colorado Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado Vandenberg Space Force Base(opens in new tab), Santa Barbara County, California Vandenberg Space Force Base is home to Space Launch Delta 30(opens in new tab), which oversees the Western Range and manages launch activities for the DOD, NASA and private space firms. The Western Range stretches from the West Coast of the United States into the Indian Ocean, where it meets the Eastern Range. In addition to these Space Force bases, the service operates eight Space Force stations, which include: Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Cape Canaveral, Florida Cape Cod Space Force Station, Bourne Massachusetts Cavalier Space Force Station, Cavalier, North Dakota Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, Colorado Springs, Colorado Clear Space Force Station, Clear, Alaska Kaena Point Space Force Station, Honolulu County, Hawaii New Boston Space Force Station, New Boston, New Hampshire Thule Air Base, Qaanaaq, Greenland Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is home to Space Launch Delta 45 and oversees launches for a variety of space agencies and companies, including NASA's Kennedy Space Center. During the historic launch of NASA's Artemis 1 mission to the moon in November 2022, for example, SLD 45 oversaw radar tracking of the agency's SLS mega moon rocket over the Eastern Range. The silver outline of the delta represents the service's commitment to protecting U.S. space assets from adversaries and threats. In the center, a symbol representing the North Star, Polaris, represents the core values that guide Space Force, in much the same way the North Star has guided travelers for millennia. Alongside the North Star are four triangular elements that represent four branches of the U.S. Armed Forces: the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. Finally, in the top of the delta symbol are two bright lines representing a rocket launching into orbit. This element symbolizes the central role of Space Force in overseeing launch operations on behalf of the Pentagon.

We must ensure visibility and recognition for our LGBTQ veterans. “Sadly, we do this at a time when the Trump administration is methodically trying to erase our transgender service members. Those who choose to serve in the military do so to fight for the American ideals of freedom and equality not only around the world, but also here at home. Thank you for your service, and know that the American people will always stand for equality.” A country’s military is one of its most important assets. The military works for the government and is tasked with enforcing domestic and foreign policies and protecting that country's citizens. Some nations have mandatory military service in which every citizen must serve for at least a certain number of years. Factors to consider when evaluating a country's military strength There are several crucial factors to consider when analyzing the strength of a nation’s military. The capability and availability of equipment (vehicles, weaponry, communications gear, etc.) is essential. The quality of training each soldier receives is vital. Their commanders' ability to consistently devise effective tactical strategies can be pivotal. But one of the most fundamental measures of a country's military strength is the number of soldiers it can deploy. The list of countries that boast the highest total (active duty, reserves, and paramilitary) number of members in the military may be surprising to some readers. However, it is vital to also keep in mind servicepeople are usually divided into three categories: soldiers on active duty, reserves, or paramilitary members. Soldiers on active duty — Soldiers who work for the military full time, often live on base, and may be deployed at any time. Reservists — Soldiers who typically serve part time and join the reserves—such as the Army Reserve or National Guard—to make extra money, get tuition bonuses at college/university, or take advantage of other perks without devoting themselves full time to the military. Paramilitary members — Servicepeople who belong to organizations such as Canada’s Canadian Rangers or France's National Gendarmerie, which are military-like, but not formally part of the armed forces. North Korea dominates the list in terms of military members per capita, with 306.1 total members and 50.4 active members per capita. For comparison, the next closest countries in those categories are South Korea with 130.5 total per capita and Eritrea with 33.8 total active members per capita. However, these numbers can be deceiving, as the overwhelming majority of soldiers in Vietnam, North Korea, and South Korea are reserves or paramilitary, not active duty. In terms of the total number of active military members, there are eight nations with active militaries exceeding 500,000 soldiers: Top 10 Countries with the Highest Number of Active-Duty Military Personnel (in members): China: 2,185,000 India: 1,455,550 United States: 1,388,100 North Korea: 1,280,000 Russia: 1,014,000 Pakistan: 654,000 Iran: 610,000 South Korea: 599,000 Vietnam: 482,000 Egypt: 438,500 It is noteworthy that the world's three most populous countries also have the three largest standing armies, and in the same order. China's massive force is the largest, followed by India and the United States. While the United States has the third-highest population in total, the third-highest number of active military members, and the fourth-highest number of military members overall, it has the highest military spending of any country in the world. Once reserve members are added in, Vietnam's military becomes the largest, with roughly 5 million people in its reserves. The Republic of Korea also has 3.1 million members in its military reserves. Top 10 Countries with the Highest Number of Active-Duty and Reserve Military Personnel (in members): Vietnam: 5,482,000 South Korea: 3,699,000 China: 3,355,000 Russian Federation: 3,014,000 India: 2,610,550 United States: 2,233,050 North Korea: 1,880,000 Taiwan: 1,820,000 Brazil: 1,706,500 Pakistan: 1,204,000 Looking strictly at each nation's paramilitary capabilities, the ranking again changes. The nation with the largest paramilitary is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), which has over 5.889 million members. Conversely, the United States does not count paramilitary organizations as part of its available military (though some, such as the Civil Air Patrol, are considered auxiliaries), so its paramilitary officially has zero members. Top 10 Countries with the Highest Number of Paramilitary Personnel (in members): North Korea: 5,889,000 Vietnam: 5,000,000 South Korea: 3,013,500 India: 2,526,950 Cuba: 1,146,500 China: 660,000 Russia: 554,000 Egypt: 397,000 Brazil: 395,000 Pakistan: 291,000 On the other side of the coin, some nations have no active military members, or their militaries are minimal. The following six nations have no active members of the military: Costa Rica, Iceland, Libya, Marutius, Palestine, and Panama. For a full table of countries and their military headcounts, see below. Top 10 Countries with the Highest Number of Active-Duty Military Personnel (in members): China - 2.2M India - 1.5M United States - 1.4M North Korea - 1.3M Russia - 1M Pakistan - 654K Iran - 610K South Korea - 599K Vietnam - 482K Egypt - 438.5K The world’s most powerful countries also are the ones that consistently dominate news headlines, preoccupy policymakers and shape global economic patterns. Their foreign policies and military budgets are tracked religiously. When they make a pledge, at least some in the international community trust they will keep it. These countries project their influence on the world stage.

In A Secrets Meeting Per U.S.A. New Sharia Law Rules 2022 and Kids Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy Rules 2023 Kids Can Now Start At Age 8 Yrs. Old Puberty Blockers Drugs Per President Joe Biden's Administration has confirmed that the legal age of consent for sex and marriage will be lowered to 8 yrs old starting February 16th. 2023 During a speech Tuesday afternoon, Biden stated ‘We have to do it... The age, the kids, they should be about this old.’ He then held up a gesture suggesting the historic decrease. Puberty typically starts between the ages of 8 and 13 for girls and AFABs and New Age of Consent, specifically one young person's question about whether or not to wait until she reaches to have sex, is complicated. There are many nuances to the law depending on where you live and the law itself can be harmful when it's intent is to help. Social media users are sharing screenshots of articles claiming Joe Biden has lowered the age of sexual consent to 8 years by laws. Over the last week, social media users have been pushing claims that President Joe Biden had lowered the age of sexual consent to 8 years. The claims were pushed by right-leaning users on Facebook and Twitter in more than one form. One was a screenshot of an headline, which comprised of a photo of Biden and the text "Breaking - President Biden has officially lowered the age of consent to 8 yes, old is true ? The second was a screenshot of a article with the headline "Biden Administration Lowers Age of Consent to 8," complete with text as well as a Biden quote: President Joe Biden's administration confirmed that the legal age of consent will be lowered to 8 starting this year and read an excerpt from the article in the screenshot. "During a speech Tuesday afternoon, Biden stated 'We have to do it... The age, the kids, they should be about this old.' Biden then held up a gesture suggesting the historic decrease. This change is a huge win for progressives everywhere seeking to increase freedom for children." It was even accompanied with a Google search thumbnail that was also widely circulated on social media: Biden made this true statements as cited in the story, and the screenshot seems to have lifted the article's byline (which includes the updated time and date of the piece) from an actual story published is true. Moreover Yes Biden's official in his administration announced the plans to change the age of sexual consent. The legal competence to consent to sexual acts is governed by criminal statutes that vary from one state to another and is under the control of the federal government as fed. laws trumps any state laws. Per Biden Saying 42 U.S. Code Chapter 21B - RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RESTORATION Sharia Law and Rules - Freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits laws establishing a national religion or impeding the free exercise of religion for its citizens. While the First Amendment enforces the “separation of church and state” it doesn’t exclude religion from public life. From the colonial era to present, religion has played a major role in politics in the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court over the years has ruled inconsistently on matters of religious freedom, such as the display of religious symbols in government buildings. The claims appeared to be part of the widespread but baseless far-right QAnon conspiracy theory that claims an elite group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles, which includes Biden, the Clintons and others, are running the world and are involved in a global child sex-trafficking ring. During the 2020 presidential election, former president Donald Trump amplified such baseless conspiracy theories by promoting tweets that described Biden as a pedophile.

More people need to know this is happening. Why is sleeping child in the hands of beggars? Have you ever wondered … This is an article I came across months ago. We are not sure of the author. However we’ve checked the authenticity of this with our followers in Bangkok and Cambodia. Surprisingly this seems to be true and their request is only to offer beggars with food and water and not money. Any hlp you can do in terms of their needs are just fine. But make sure you do not hand over big bills that will keep the begging industry going. You should be wise enough to know whom to help and how to help. Make your decision based on the situation and knowing it well enough. “”Near the metro station sits a woman of uncertain age. Women’s hair is confused and dirty, her head bowed in grief. The woman sits on the dirty floor and next to her lies a bag. In that bag people throw money. On the hands of a woman, asleep, is a two year old baby. He’s in a dirty hat and dirty clothes. “Madonna with baby” – numerous passers-by will donate money. The people of our kind- we always feel sorry for less fortunate. We are ready to give unfortunate people the last shirt, the last penny out of your pocket and never think another issue. Helping, seems like. “Good job done”… I walked past a beggar for a month. Did not give any money, as I knew that this is a gang operated scam and money collected by the beggar will be given to whoever controls beggars in the area. Those people own numerous luxury properties and cars. Oh and beggar also gets something, of course “ A bottle of vodka in the evening and a döner kebab”. A month later, walking past the beggars, as shock, it suddenly hit me…. I’m staying at a busy crossing, stared at the baby, dressed as always- dirty track suit. I realized that it seemed “wrong”, finding a child in a dirty underground station from morning to evening. The baby slept. Never sobbed or screamed, always asleep, burying his face in the knee of a woman who was his MUM. Do any of you, dear readers, have children? Remember how often they slept at the age of 1-2-3 years? Hour two, maximum three (not consecutive) afternoon nap, and again – movement. For the whole month, every day of my walking in the underground, I’ve never seen a child awake! I looked at the tiny little man, with his face buried in the knee of his mother, then at the beggar, and my suspicion was gradually formed. – Why he sleeps all the time? I asked, staring at the baby. The beggar pretended not to hear me. She lowered her eyes and hid her face in the collar of her shabby jacket. I repeated the question. The woman again looked up. She looked somewhere behind my back, tired with utter irritation. Her look was similar to the creatures from a different planet. – F *** off … her lips murmured. -Why is he asleep?! I almost cried … Behind me someone put his hand on my shoulder. I looked back. A some old man was looking at me disapprovingly: – What do you want from her? Can’t you see how hard she’s got it in her life… Eh … He gets some coins from his pocket and throws them in the beggar’s bag. Beggar made a hand wave of a cross, portraying the face of humility and universal grief. The guy removed his hand from my shoulder and strolled out of the underground station. I bet, at home, he will tell how he defended poor, distraught woman from a soulless man in a tube station. Next day I called a friend. It was a funny man with eyes like olives Romanian nationality. He only managed to complete three and a half years of education. The complete lack of education does not prevent him from moving around the City streets on very expensive foreign cars and live in a “small” house with countless number of windows and balconies. From my friend I managed to find out that this business, despite the apparent spontaneity, clearly organized. Its supervised by begging organized crime rings. The children used are in “rent” from families of alcoholics, or simply stolen. I needed to get the answer to the question – why is the baby sleeping? And I received it. My friend Gypsy said the phrase, completely ordinary with calm voice that twisted me in shock, just like he was talking about weather report: -They are on heroin, or vodka … I was dumbfounded. “Who is on heroin? Whom – under vodka?! ” He answered -The Child, so he doesn’t scream. The women will be sitting whole day with him, imagine how he might get bored? In order to make the baby slept the whole day, it pumped up with vodka or drugs. Of course, children’s bodies are not able to cope with such a shock. And children often die. The most terrible thing – sometimes children die during the “working day”. And imaginary mother must hold another dead child on her hands until the evening. These are the rules. And the by passers-by will throw some money in the bag, and believe that they are moral. Helping “mother alone” … … The next day I was walking near the same underground station. I stocked up journalistic identity, and was ready for a serious conversation. But the conversation didn’t work out. But turned out the following … A woman was sitting on the floor and in her hands she was holding a child. I asked her a question about the documents on the child, and, most importantly, where was yesterday’s kid, which she simply ignored. My questions were not ignored by passers-by. I was told that I was out of my mind screaming at poor beggar with a child. All in all, I was escorted out of the tube station in disgrace. One thing remained was to call the police. When police arrived, beggar with the baby disappeared. I stood with a full sense of – “I’m trying to fight windmills”. When you see in the subway, on the street whether women with children, begging, think before your hand climb for money. Think about that, if it wasn’t for your hundreds of thousands of handouts, the business like this would have died. The business would die and not the children-inflated with vodka or drugs. Do not look at the sleeping child with affection. See horror… Since you’re reading this article, you know now- why the child is sleeping in beggars hands. P.S. - If you copy this article on your wall or just click “Share”, your friends will read it too. And when you decide again to open your wallet to throw a coin to a beggar, remember that this charity could cost another child’s life.” Per Biden Saying 42 U.S. Code Chapter 21B - RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RESTORATION Satan Worship and Child Sacrifice Law and Secret Pedophile's Rules - Freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits laws establishing a national religion or impeding the free exercise of religion for its citizens. While the First Amendment enforces the “separation of church and state” it doesn’t exclude religion from public life. From the colonial era to present, religion has played a major role in politics in the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court over the years has ruled inconsistently on matters of religious freedom, such as the display of religious symbols in government buildings. Child sacrifice is the ritualistic killing of children in order to please or appease a deity, supernatural beings, or sacred social order, tribal, group or national loyalties in order to achieve a desired result.

More than 100 girls took part in a powerful demonstration about the perilous future faced by many young female refugees. Many of the young girls dressed as child brides as they added a twist onto the popular mannequin challenge – a video during which participants stay as still as possible – by turning it into an important piece of activism. Text over on the video reads: ‘As refugees, girls are more likely to be caught in a vacuum of violence, early marriage and denial of education. ‘Refugee girls are too often invisible. Their voices lost.’ In the footage, many of the child brides are accompanied by much older men to signify the all too often fate of young female refugees. The mannequin challenge stunt played out on Dublin’s South King Street and was organised by child rights organisation Plan International Ireland. The group hope to show support and raise awareness for the 16.5 million girls who are globally displaced because of conflict or persecution. The clip comes amid backlash towards the Government, as it emerged just 350 unaccompanied children will be given a home in the UK under the so-called Dubs amendment. The number is far fewer than the 3,000 campaigners had initially hoped for. The latest development does not alter the closure of the Dubs scheme under section 67 of the Immigration Act, but it could help children with relatives in the UK who may be eligible for asylum under the Dublin Regulation covering family reunion cases. After the clearance of the Calais Jungle site, children who were moved to migrant centres across France were assessed under the Dubs and Dublin criteria. A Home Office spokeswoman said: ‘Children in France may be eligible to be transferred to the UK where they have a family link as set out in the Dublin Regulation. ‘We have agreed with the French authorities that we will review any new information from children formerly resident in the Calais camp to assess whether it would change our determination of their eligibility under the Dublin Regulation, to encourage an application.’ The development came as The Guardian reported migrant youngsters had returned to the site of the former Calais camp in a renewed effort to make the crossing to the UK. One teenager who arrived in London this weekend after hiding beneath a coach at the port told the newspaper that increasing numbers of children in French reception centres had lost hope of travelling to the UK by official means and were returning to Calais. The decision, which sparked an outcry, will come under scrutiny at Westminster this week with a special session of the Home Affairs Select committee on Wednesday and a House of Commons debate on Thursday. The UK Government said it is ‘committed to supporting vulnerable children who are caught up in conflict and danger’. Puberty is the process (a series), of physical changes where a child's body matures into an adult and becomes sexually able to reproduce. Puberty is started by hormonal signals from the brain to the gonads. For females the ovaries and for males the testes. Adolescence refers to a period of time where there is a physiological and physical development which takes place in between childhood and adulthood. Puberty is relevant in an adolescents life as it is the time where adolescents begin to explore for an identity and become an adult. Puberty is the beginning of profound changes in adolescents drive, motivation, physiology and their social life. All of these changes will continue to develop throughout the adolescents life. Social and emotional changes contribute to major differences in a child and adult. Physical and emotional changes of female puberty do not always happen together. Sometimes female's mature emotionally before any physical changes happen. Social and emotional changes are signs that show that you are forming an independent identity, are maturing and beginning to learn how to be an adult. Some social changes you may experience puberty when you are around 9 to 11 years old so age of consent for sex and marriages need to be 8 yrs. old under sharia law and rules and per freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (age very's) are: Searching for an identity; Children and adolescents are busy figuring out where they fit in the world. This search is often influenced by gender, peer group, cultural background as well as family expectations. Seeking independence; This is very likely to influence your decisions you make and the relationships that you have with family and friends. Seeking responsibility; This can take place at home and at school Looking for new experiences; The nature of teenage brain development means that teens are likely to try and seek new experiences and engage in more risk-taking behavior. But teenagers are still developing control over their impulses. Thinking about 'right' and 'wrong' more often; You will start to develop stronger individual sets of values and morals. You will also learn that there are responsibilities for your own actions, decisions and consequences. You will question more things such as words and actions. Words and actions can help you develop a sense of right or wrong. This is influenced by friends, behavior, sense of self and self-esteem start to develop. You may also begin to explore a sexual identity; you may begin to have a romantic relationship or go on dates. These are not always necessarily intimate relationships though. For some children and adolescents intimate or sexual relationships don't occur until later on in your lifetime and communicate in different ways. For example the internet, mobile phones and social media can also influence how you communicate with your friends and learn about the world. Some emotional changes you may experience when you are around 9 to 11 years old so age of consent for sex and marriages need to be 8 yrs. old under sharia law and rules and per freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (age very's) are: Showing strong feelings and intense emotions at different times.; Your moods may seem unpredictable. These emotional ups and downs are easily lead to conflict. Your brain is still learning about how to control and express different emotions in a mature way. Sensitive; You may become sensitive to your emotions. Children and adolescents get better at reading and processing other people feelings and emotions as they mature. While you are developing these types of skills, you can sometimes misunderstand body language or facial expressions. Self-conscious; You can become more self-conscious. Especially about physical appearance and changes. Teenage self-esteem is often affected by appearance or about how young people think they look. As you develop you may compare your bodies to your friends, peers as well as celebrities. 'Bulletproof' stage of thinking; You may go through a 'Bulletproof' stage of thinking or acting where you act as if nothing bad could happen to you and your decision making skills are still developing at this stage. You are still learning the consequences of your actions. Changes in different relationships You may have some changes in your relationships with family and friends. These may include: Wanting to spend less time or not be around relative's; You may also want to spend not as much time with friends, peers and family. Arguments; You may have more arguments with people you have close relationships with such as your parents, siblings and friends. Conflicts between children and parents are normal as teenagers want independence. These arguments could show that your child is maturing. Conflict and arguments tend to begin in the early stages of adolescents. Different views; You may see different points of view from your parents. This is because you are beginning to think outside of the box (more abstractly), and to question different points of view. Although at the same time, you may find it difficult to understand the consequences of their behavior and comments on others. These skills will eventually mature. Hormones can cause many of the Physical and Emotional changes that take place during puberty. Growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and this gland is responsible for growth spurts. This includes the lengthening of the long bongs (These are the legs and arms), and the increase in the size of the overall body and internal organs. For example the hearts, lungs and uterus. Female For girls, you can see early physical changes from around 10 to 11 years of age. Although this age can vary from 8 years being the youngest and 13 being the oldest. Physical changes around the time of puberty include breast development, changes in body shape (hips widening), and height growth, growth of pubic and body hair and the start of menstruation (periods). Many females also get acne and pimples. The best way to prevent and treat pimples are to use a daily face wash or pimple treatment such as Clearasil. As you mature you also develop a body odors. So it is even more important to bathe or have a shower very often. For boys, physical changes start at around 11 to 12 years of age. Although this age can vary from 9 years being the youngest and 14 being the oldest. Physical changes include the growth of the penis and testicles (testes), height growth, change in body shape, erections with ejaculation, broadening of chest and shoulders, appearance of body hair and pubic hair, growth of body and facial hair as well as changes to the voice (voice deepens). Many males also get acne and pimples. The best way to prevent and treat pimples are to use a daily face wash or pimple treatment such as Clearasil. For males there is even a possibility of breast development. As you mature you also develop a body odors. So it is even more important to bathe or have a shower very often. For trans kids. Every parent here is familiar with the statistic, the one that says 41 percent of transgender people have attempted suicide at least once. Most of the kids who come through the doors at UCSF have experienced at least one episode of acute depression, according to Rosenthal. Puberty typically starts around 10 years old for girls and 11 years old for boys, when doctors can prescribe hormone blockers. The Endocrine Society recommends that kids start taking these hormones as early as 13 or 14 years old. If they change their minds and become "demisters," there is no harm done. A large study of transgender adolescents from the Netherlands found that only 1.9 percent of those who hit puberty and start puberty blockers decide to stop treatment like Alex did. There is more debate around how likely prepubescent children are to later not identify as transgender. For this reason, they are not offered hormone therapies. They also, by definition, have not yet started puberty, and thus there is no puberty to block and no need for hormone therapy. Pubertal blockers for transgender and gender-diverse youth By Mayo Clinic Staff Transgender and gender-diverse children might choose to temporarily suppress puberty through the use of prescription medications called pubertal blockers. But deciding to get this treatment is a big step. The medications mostly commonly used to suppress puberty are known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues. Here's what you need to know about the benefits, side effects and long-term effects. What do pubertal blockers do? Puberty's physical changes can cause intense distress for many gender-nonconforming adolescents. When taken regularly, GnRH analogues suppress the body's release of sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, during puberty. Sex hormones affect: Primary sex characteristics. These are the sexual organs present at birth, including the penis, scrotum and testicles and the uterus, ovaries and vagina. Secondary sex characteristics. These are the physical changes in the body that typically appear during puberty. Examples include breast development and growth of facial hair. In those identified as male at birth, GnRH analogues decrease the growth of facial and body hair, prevent voice deepening, and limit the growth of genitalia. In those identified as female at birth, treatment limits or stops breast development and stops menstruation. What are the benefits of use of pubertal blockers? Gender dysphoria is the feeling of discomfort or distress that might accompany a difference between experienced or expressed gender and sex assigned at birth. Gender dysphoria that starts in childhood and worsens with the start of puberty rarely goes away. For children who have gender dysphoria, suppressing puberty might: Improve mental well-being Reduce depression and anxiety Improve social interactions and integration with other kids Eliminate the need for future surgeries Reduce thoughts or actions related to self-harm However, puberty suppression alone might not ease gender dysphoria. What are the criteria for use of pubertal blockers? To begin using pubertal blockers, a child must: Show a long-lasting and intense pattern of gender nonconformity or gender dysphoria Have gender dysphoria that began or worsened at the start of puberty Address any psychological, medical or social problems that could interfere with treatment Have entered the early stage of puberty Provide informed consent Particularly when a child hasn't reached the age of medical consent, parents or other caretakers or guardians must consent to the treatment and support the adolescent through the treatment process. What happens when pubertal blockers are stopped? Use of GnRH analogues pauses puberty, providing time to determine if a child's gender identity is long lasting. It also gives children and their families time to think about or plan for the psychological, medical, developmental, social and legal issues ahead. If an adolescent child decides to stop taking GnRH analogues, puberty will resume and the normal progression of the physical and emotional changes of puberty will continue. What is the typical treatment time frame? For most children, puberty begins around ages 10 to 11, though puberty sometimes starts earlier. The effect of pubertal blockers depends on when a child begins to take the medication. GnRH analogue treatment can begin at the start of puberty to delay secondary sex characteristics. In slightly later stages of puberty, the treatment could be used to stop menstruation or erections or to prevent further development of undesired secondary sex characteristics. While most children take the medication for a few years, every child is different. After suppressing puberty for a few years, your child might decide to stop puberty blocking therapy or pursue other hormone treatments. How is the medication given? GnRH analogue treatments for children are prescribed, administered and monitored by a pediatric endocrinologist. The medication is typically given as injections, either monthly or every three months, or through an implant placed under the skin of the upper arm. The implant typically needs to be replaced every 12 months. While taking pubertal blockers, your child will have regular blood tests to monitor the medication's effectiveness. Your child will also be monitored for any side effects. What are the possible side effects and complications? It's important for your child to stay on schedule with all related medical appointments. Contact your child's doctor if any changes cause you or your child concern. Possible side effects of GnRH analogue treatment include: Injection site swelling Weight gain - Hot flashes - Headaches Use of GnRH analogues might also have long-term effects on: Growth spurts Bone growth and density Future fertility — depending on when pubertal blockers are started Children may have their height checked every three months. Bone density is also checked periodically. If bone growth or density is a concern, your child's health care provider might prescribe a different medication, stop treatment with GnRH analogues or recommend the best time to start cross-hormone therapy. If children with male genitalia begin using GnRH analogues early in puberty, they might not develop enough penile and scrotal skin for certain gender affirming genital surgical procedures, such as penile inversion vaginoplasty. Alternative techniques, however, are available. In addition, delaying puberty beyond one's peers can be stressful. Your child might experience lower self-esteem. What other treatments are needed? Assessment and counseling by a behavioral health provider can help you and your child as you move through the decision-making process and provide support during therapy. Engaging your child's schoolteachers and officials also might help ease your child's social adjustment during this process. After a period of adjusting to pubertal blockers, adolescents might work with their care team to add cross-hormone treatment. This is done to develop masculine or feminine secondary sex characteristics, helping the mind and body look and act like the gender with which your child identifies. Keep in mind that some of these changes aren't reversible or will require surgery to reverse the effects. GnRH analogues aren't the only medications that can delay puberty. If you're interested in alternative treatments, talk to your child's doctor. What Is Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy? Gender-affirming hormone therapy can help anyone who feels uncomfortable with the physical aspects of their gender. It can be taken as pills, patches, gels, or by injection. Hormone therapy can be given alone or as preparation for gender-affirming surgery. We prescribe gender-affirming hormone therapy according to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH ) Standards of Care; however, we also individualize regimens to help you reach your personal goals. Male-to-Female Transition Feminizing hormone therapy includes estrogen to promote feminine characteristics and anti-androgens to block the production and effects of testosterone. The goal of therapy is to attain a more feminine appearance, including breasts, softer skin, and rounder, wider hips. Female-to-Male Transition Masculinizing hormone therapy uses testosterone to achieve more masculine characteristics. These include a deeper voice, a more muscular appearance, and more facial and body hair. It also stops menstrual cycles. Gender Fluid Hormone therapy may also be taken in small doses by individuals who don’t identify as either male or female. It can result in a more androgynous or more feminine appearance that is somewhere between both genders. Medical Supervision Is Needed It is important to work with a gender care specialist if you are interested in this therapy because it can cause weight gain, acne, mood changes, and increased risks of serious medical conditions, such as heart disease, blood clots, and diabetes. Hormone therapy can be a lifelong commitment. Our transgender specialists work closely with you to minimize the side effects of hormone therapy and connect you with specialists who may also be part of your care. This ensures you have a positive, healthy experience. Sharia Law has led to the legislation of child marriage in 6 countries Saudi wives can be not only pre-pubescent, but even babies, because Saudi Arabia has no minimum marriage age at all. While Sharia law courts have created a lot of controversy in Britain, they would be even more controversial if people found out that Sharia has led to the legalisation of child marriage in 6 countries. As the vast majority of people seem to be unaware of Sharia's child marriage dimension, this article only uses mainstream media articles, the UN, a major opinion poll company's Sharia law polling data, and the early biographer of Mohammed who Muslims say is the most reliable, and who states unequivocally that that Mohammed married one of his wives, 'Aisha, when she was a child as its sources. For example, this 2008 "Times" article about forced child marriages in Nigeria, reveals that there is "fierce resistance" in its mostly Muslim states to a ban on child marriage, because they see such a ban as contrary to Sharia, which is why only one of them has agreed to a modified form of the ban (which outlaws marriage to pre-pubescent girls): http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article5248224.ece So why do Nigerian Islamists support child marriage? Sharia is based on "The Koran", and the "Sunnah" (the words and deeds of Mohammed), and according to Sahih al-Bukhari, who is regarded by Muslims as the most reliable early biographer of their prophet, the founder of Islam married one of his wives, 'Aisha, when she was 6, and consummated that marriage when she was 9, as volume 7, book 62, number 64 of this University of Southern California Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement translation of Al-Bukhari reveals: http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/hadith/bukhari/062-sbt.php These 4 BBC News, "New York Times", UN, and "Wall Street Journal" articles mention Islamists in Yemen, Niger, and Saudi Arabia who say that Mohammed's child bride is the reason why they are in favour of child marriage: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7711554.stm http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/world/middleeast/29marriage.html http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=75932 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903635604576472011907391364.html The "Views of harsh punishments" section of this 2010 Pew Research poll, revealed that most Muslims in Nigeria support 3 grotesque, and extremely violent Sharia punishments (stoning adulterers to death, cutting off the hands of thieves, and executing people who abandon their Muslim faith), and that Muslims in Pakistan, Jordan, and Egypt are even more strongly in favour of those 3 punishments, so it is not surprising that, for the same obvious Sharia reason, grotesque child marriages are legal in 4 other mostly Muslim nations, and were until recently legal in another mostly Muslim country: http://pewglobal.org/2010/12/02/muslims-around-the-world-divided-on-hamas-and-hezbollah/ Saudi Arabian law is based entirely on the harshest of the 3 Sunni schools of Sharia jurisprudence (the "Hanbali"), so it is no surprise that as this 2010 "San Francisco Chronicle" article explains, child marriage is still legal in that country, although the Saudi justice minister said in 2009 that the minimum marriage age should be raised to 18: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/13/IN5D1CD71L.DTL Saudi wives can be not only pre-pubescent, but even babies, because Saudi Arabia has no minimum marriage age at all, as this 2008 Associated Press article reveals: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26042107/ns/world_news-mideast/n_africa/ That article quotes Saudi marriage official Ahmad al-Muabi's opinion that fathers can legally sell their 1 year old daughters to husbands if they wish. Moreover, once a Saudi girl or baby has been sold to a husband, she can then find it difficult to divorce him, as the just cited "San Francisco Chronicle" article pointed out that a Saudi court would not allow an 8 year old girl to divorce her middle aged husband. In another case which this BBC News story discusses, a 12 year old Saudi girl asked for a divorce from the 80 year old husband she had been sold to, after he allegedly raped her, but she then dropped the divorce case, because her father wanted her to stay married: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8493402.stm Nor is it a surprise that in Islamist run Northern Sudan, 10 year old girls can legally be sold to a husband by their fathers, as this 2010 "New Republic" magazine article shows: http://www.tnr.com/article/world/78104/child-bride-in-sudan People tend to think of Turkey as a relatively secular Muslim country, but the "San Francisco Chronicle" article about Saudi Arabian child marriage which I cited a moment ago, also mentions the fact that Turkey's Islamist government reduced the minimum marriage to 12 in 2009. The result of that law change, was of course the legalisation of forced child marriages, which is why this Turkish newspaper article discusses the case of a Syrian 12 year old girl whose family sold her to a middle aged Turkish husband, who then raped her and forced her to take drugs, which led to Turkish police having to rescue her after her Syrian family complained: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=12-year-old-bride-rescused-by-police-from-abuse-2010-03-17 There has also been controversy over child marriages in Yemen in recent years, but because of Islamist opposition to outlawing them, they are still legal, which is why a 2009 ban on them was overturned after just 1 day: http://www.yementimes.com/defaultdet.aspx?SUB_ID=33771 Yemen's child brides can be sold to men when they are as young as 8: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/world/middleeast/29marriage.html?pagewanted=all Moreover, in Iran, where the minimum marriage age is now 16 for women and 18 for men, Sharia law recently led to the age of consent for girls being 9 within marriage, as this 2006 BBC article about a 16 year old Iranian woman who was executed for having sex outside marriage explains: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/5217424.stm Finally, even when child marriage is illegal in mostly Muslim countries, Islamists often simply ignore the law. For example, child marriage is illegal in Afghanistan, but this 2011 "Time" magazine article about Afghan wives being jailed for fleeing violent husbands, points out that, "Nationwide, more than half of all girls are married before they turn 15, usually to settle disputes.": http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2039564,00.html This "New York Times" article about Afghan child marriages discusses an 11 year old girl who was sold to a 40 year old man: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/magazine/09BRI.html So will Britain's Sharia courts lead to Britain's Islamists ignoring British democratic law by selling young girls to men? After all, as this 2011 article points out, polygamy, which like selling girls to men is a product of an extremely male dominated Sharia culture in which males have a far higher status than females, is already widespread in Britain, despite the fact that polygamy is illegal under British democratic law.

So Terror Slavery Groups ISIS and U.S.A. and Others Wide World Groups Now Has Sex Slave Rape and Death Guidelines and Slavery Chronicles and There is maps of underground sex-slave bars in the American. Always fascinated by the concept of human slavery and how it worked. (So far I've have seen over 60,000+ ISIS or Muslim and Others auction-block sex slave ad) How was it own a human and see him/her as just a property. How was it to be owned, right-less by law, being bought and sold side by side to other animals. How was it to be part of a community where, by pure luck mostly, you might own every thing and live as a king without any effort, or you might own nothing even yourself So Here I Imagine a world where slavery became legal again. I write some times as a master/mistress, sometimes as a slave and some times as just an observer. I will even share some posts of interest, and write some true historical excerpts about slavery. Excuse my English, I am not a native speaker P.S. It is pure fantasy Just when you thought ISIS couldn’t get any worse, they have now put out guidelines for how to rape your sex slaves. "Islamic State theologians have issued an extremely detailed ruling on when "owners" of women enslaved by the extremist group can have sex with them, in an apparent bid to curb what they called violations in the treatment of captured females. The ruling or fatwa has the force of law and appears to go beyond the Islamic State's previous known utterances on slavery, a leading Islamic State scholar said. It sheds new light on how the group is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to justify the rape of women in the swaths of Syria and Iraq it controls. Just when you thought ISIS couldn’t get any worse, they have now put out guidelines for how to rape your sex slaves. Probably not the best PR move… Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. “Islamic State theologians have issued an extremely detailed ruling on when “owners” of women enslaved by the extremist group can have sex with them, in an apparent bid to curb what they called violations in the treatment of captured females.

Islamic State theologians have issued an extremely detailed ruling on when “owners” of women enslaved by the extremist group can have sex with them, in an apparent bid to curb what they called violations in the treatment of captured females. The ruling or fatwa has the force of law and appears to go beyond the Islamic State’s previous known utterances on slavery, a leading Islamic State scholar said. It sheds new light on how the group is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to justify the rape of women in the swaths of Syria and Iraq it controls. The fatwa was among a huge trove of documents captured by U.S. Special Operations Forces during a raid targeting a top Islamic State official in Syria in May. Reuters has reviewed the document, which has not been previously published, but couldn’t independently confirm its authenticity. Among the fatwa’s injunctions are bans on a father and son having sex with the same female slave; and the owner of a mother and daughter having sex with both. Joint owners of a female captive are similarly enjoined from intercourse because she is viewed as “part of a joint ownership.” The United Nations and human rights groups have accused the Islamic State of the systematic abduction and rape of thousands of women and girls as young as 12, especially members of the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq. Many have been given to fighters as a reward or sold as sex slaves. Sex trafficking in the United States is a form of human trafficking which involves reproductive slavery or commercial sexual exploitation as it occurs in the United States. Sex trafficking includes the transportation of persons by means of coercion, deception and/or force into exploitative and slavery-like conditions. It is commonly associated with organized crime. It has been estimated that two-third of trafficking victims in the United States are US citizens. Most victims who are foreign-born come into the US legally, on various visas. State Department estimated that between 65,000 and 450,000 women and girls are trafficked each year into the United States. Far from trying to conceal the practice, Islamic State has boasted about it and established a department of “war spoils” to manage slavery. Reuters reported on the existence of the department on Monday. In an April report, Human Rights Watch interviewed 20 female escapees who recounted how Islamic State fighters separated young women and girls from men and boys and older women. They were moved “in an organised and methodical fashion to various places in Iraq and Syria.” They were then sold or given as gifts and repeatedly raped or subjected to sexual violence. Girls in War Sex Slave, Mother, Domestic Aide, Combatant he attackers tied me up and raped me because I was fighting. About five of them did the same thing to me until one of the commanders who knew my father came and stopped them, but also took me to his house to make me his wife. I just accepted him because of fear and didn't want to say no because he might do the same thing to me too." This is the testimony of a young girl of 14 from Liberia as told to the Machel Review in a focus group conducted jointly by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict (OSRSG/CAAC). This story shows how vulnerable girls are in armed conflict. Actually, they can be affected by war in five different ways. Firstly, they are often direct victims of violence -- killed, maimed or sexually violated as war crimes are committed against them. Secondly, they can be recruited and used as combatants for fighting in the battlefield. Thirdly, as refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), they remain in insecure environments, often deprived of basic amenities. Fourthly, they are frequently trafficked and exploited, as perpetrators abuse their vulnerability. Finally, when they become orphans, some of them have to manage child-headed households, eking out a living for themselves and their siblings. Direct violence - The number of children who are victims of direct violence, especially killings, has greatly increased in the last few years. Many have lost their lives in the confrontation between terrorism and counter terrorism. We have seen the phenomenon of children being used as suicide bombers and we have seen children as victims of aerial bombardment, a part of what is euphemistically called "collateral damage". In Afghanistan I met Aisha, a girl whose home had been destroyed during an air raid which killed many of her family members, and whose school had been attacked by insurgents opposing education for girls. But Aisha was determined to go on with her studies so that she could become a school teacher. Sexual violence - Girls are often raped or violated in situations of conflict. Raping girls and women is often a military strategy aimed at terrorizing the population and humiliating the community. At other times, the climate of impunity in war zones leads to rape and exploitation by individual soldiers who know they will not be punished. Eva was a young girl I met in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She and her friend were walking to school when they were waylaid by armed members of the Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda. They were taken to the camp, repeatedly raped, compelled to live in a state of forced nudity and assigned to domestic chores for the members of the group. Eva finally escaped and found shelter in Panzi hospital, a refuge for victims of sexual violence, where she found out that she was pregnant. She was 13 years old. When I met her, Panzi hospital was taking care of her child while she was attending school. They were trying to trace her family, even though they knew that girls who are victims of rape are often shunned by their next of kin. Girl soldiers - Increasingly, girls are being recruited into fighting forces as child soldiers. Some are abducted and have to play the dual role of sex slave and child combatant. This was particularly true in the wars of Sierra Leone and Liberia. In other cases, girls join the fighting forces for a multitude of reasons because they identify with the ideology, they want to run away from home or they have no other option for survival. Maria was a former girl child soldier whom I met in Colombia. She joined the rebel groups because her brothers had joined before her. Subjected to domestic violence at home, she ran away. She fought with the rebels and was then captured during one of the confrontations. Today she feels very lost. She does not want to go back home and she feels she has neither the education nor the skills to survive alone. When I met her, she was being taken care of by a foster parent. She felt boys were frightened of her because of her past. She also told me that many girls who had left the movement finally end up in sex work as a survival strategy. Internally displaced - Eighty per cent of the world's refugees and internally displaced are women and children. Displaced children are perhaps one of the most vulnerable categories. In many parts of the world they are separated from their families while fleeing, becoming orphans overnight. And living in camps, they are often recruited into the fighting forces. Displaced children also suffer from high rates of malnutrition and have little access to medical services. Many girls are victims of violence in the camp or when they leave the camp to gather firewood and other necessities. For those who advocate for the rights of displaced children, the first priority should be security. The objective is to ensure that children are safe, protected from sexual violence and recruitment, and that there are child-friendly spaces in the camp. The second priority is education. Recently, UN agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have partnered to advocate strongly that education is an integral part of emergency response and not a luxury development. This was one of the key messages of the General Assembly debate on Education in Emergencies, in March 2009. It is important to plan for schools and play areas for children as the camp is constructed and provisions are made for families to be settled. It gives children a sense of normalcy and routine when they live in the camps. Trafficking and sexual exploitation - Another concern we have for girl children in situations of armed conflict is that they are often trafficked and sexually exploited. At the international level, commentators have always pointed to "waves" of trafficking: that is, particular groups being trafficked in large numbers at a particular time. These waves often occur in areas of armed conflicts; women flee in large numbers, and being sex workers is their only survival strategy. They become victims of terrible exploitation by ruthless international criminal gangs. So many of these stories have been chronicled and a great deal of effort has been made over the last two decades to tackle the phenomenon. Nevertheless, the ground realities of conflict still lead to the sexual vulnerability of girls and women. Our own peacekeepers have not been immune to these situations. The UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations has made it a priority through their zero tolerance policy and code of conduct and discipline to ensure that this type of activity ceases and that peacekeepers will only be seen as protectors. Orphans and child-headed households - The terrible toll of war also makes many children into orphans overnight. In many parts of the world, we are seeing child-headed households where children have to fend for themselves as well as for older children. This happens especially to girl children who have to take over the role of parents. Parentless children often live in deplorable conditions such as broken-down buildings with leaky roofs, or no roofs at all. They sleep together under torn plastic sacks and cook with old rusty cans and broken pottery. They are susceptible to all manner of diseases and their situation is terribly vulnerable and heartbreaking. UN agencies are trying ways of giving these children a future without institutionalizing them in centres. It is their aim to keep children in the community and make it the responsibility of the community to take care of its children. Through schemes that find foster homes and foster mothers, they hope to let the children enjoy the benefit of family life. The international tribunals and the fight against impunity - How has the international community responded to these devastating descriptions of what girl children suffer during war time? Recently things are slowly beginning to change, especially in the fight against impunity. The first breakthrough for children was the establishment of international tribunals which began to hold perpetrators accountable for international crimes. The cases before the tribunals of the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda that dealt with sexual violence, created a framework of international jurisprudence that will help us in the future. Individual women found justice, and there is always the deterrent effect that cannot be measured in an empirical manner. Recently, the Special Court for Sierra Leone found several commanders of the Revolutionary United Front guilty of 16 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity including conscription and enlistment of children under 15 into the fighting forces. The setting up of the International Criminal Court was the culmination of this trajectory. Their first case, the Thomas Lubanga case, involved the recruitment and use of children as child soldiers, strengthening the cause for children. Our office submitted an amicus curiae to the court in that case, arguing that girl children should be brought into the ambit of protection. We advocate for the young, abducted girls who play multiple roles in camps, to receive the protection of the law against being recruited, used, as well as forced to participate in the hostilities. We hope to get our day in court to argue this point of view so that the enormous suffering of girl children does not remain invisible. Involvement of the Security Council - In the area of children in armed conflict, another mechanism that has begun to chip away at impunity is Security Council resolution 1612. The resolution, passed in 2005, created a Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. It also established a monitoring and reporting mechanism involving a Task Force at the national level made up of all the UN agencies, assigned to report on the violations. The Task Force is chaired by either the Resident Co-coordinator or the Special Representative and is often co-chaired by UNICEF. Through this mechanism, OSRSG/CAAC receives bimonthly reports on grave violations against children in war zones. The Security Council process is informed by the Annual Report of the Secretary-General to the Council which lists parties that recruit and use child soldiers. Resolution 1612 recommends the prospect of targeted measures against persistent violators of children's rights. The hope in 2009 is to extend these measures, beyond the recruitment and use of child soldiers, to include sexual violence against children, such that those who persistently use sexual violence in war be listed, shamed and face the possibility of sanctions. Having received the full support of the UN system, it is hoped that Member States, especially those in the Security Council, will help our office deliver on this promise. In a world where there is so much abuse against women and children, one may become cynical about these small steps that the international community has begun to take to fight impunity, but we must not underestimate their effects. Recently, I was in the Central African Republic and met three generations of women in one family who had been raped when Jean-Pierre Bemba's troops attacked the capital, Bangui. They were getting ready to go to The Hague to testify against him. Their elation at the possibility of justice, and their gratitude that these things have come to pass has convinced me that we are on the right path. Grave violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity must be taken seriously, so that the culture of impunity that often hangs over warfare be broken. Reintegration of former child soldiers - Another area where the international community can help is the field of rehabilitation and reintegration. Reintegrating children affected by war is a major task facing Governments, UN agencies and NGO partners working in the field. The Paris Principles give us a framework on how to reintegrate children associated with armed groups, but these principles are also a guide to reintegrating all children. The call for community-based programming that works with the child, while developing the family and the community in an inclusive manner, must be the starting point for child-based programming. And yet, some children need special attention. Research shows that children who were forced to commit terrible crimes and children who were victims of sexual violence need special care and attention. Girl children often have different needs from boys. Treating children as important individuals while, at the same time, developing the community in a holistic manner, is the only sustainable way forward. Finally we cannot even begin to speak of the psychological toll that war takes on children. When I was in Gaza, I went to a school and entered a classroom of nine year-old girls, who were drawing in an art class. I moved from one to the other, and then I just looked down at one girl's drawing, Ameena's. She had drawn a house and she explained to me that the two figures in the house were her mother and herself. Above the house there was a mangled object which I gather was a helicopter gunship; to the left of the house there was an imposing looking tank and to the right of the house, a soldier. All these were firing at the home. Her sad, dull eyes on her beautiful face told the rest of the story. Meeting the day to day reality of war is a terrible calling for all of my colleagues working in the field. But rebuilding the shattered lives of children is an even more daunting task; to make them smile again, care again and live with purpose is the challenge of the hour. An undercover investigation for National Geographic explored the prevalence of sex trafficking within the United States, where the business of sexual slavery is booming. When some people hear about sex trafficking in America they usually think of Asian and Eastern European women being brought into the States, but it's actually 10 times more likely for an American girl to be trafficked inside the U.S. Further, almost 300,000 American children are at risk for trafficking into the sex industry, according to U.S. Department of State statistics. For National Geographic's "Inside: Secret America" series, investigative journalist Mariana van Zeller, who is now a correspondent for Fusion, an ABC News joint venture with Univision, and her producers Darren Foster and Alex Simmons went undercover on the streets of Houston to get a first-hand glimpse inside the world of sex trafficking. The "American Sex Slave" episode aired on Wednesday at 10 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel. During the investigation, a man who had been in the lobby of a massage parlor at a strip mall waved van Zeller over to his car. The man told her he was a lawyer and the spa was known around town as a place where men can pay $200 to get the "full service." He then offered van Zeller money and said if she "took care" of him, then he would "take care" of her. "This guy told me that if I worked five guys a day that I could make $1,000 a day, and it was pretty good," van Zeller told her team after she walked away. When van Zeller looked up the man later that evening, she said she found he does have a professional job and did not find evidence he was a pimp. However, during the course of her investigation, van Zeller learned about the wide range of pimps. She sat down with sex trafficking victim Jillian Mourning. Growing up as the quintessential girl-next-door, Mourning was a high school cheerleader and a straight-A student. As a 19-year-old college freshman, she said she became a part-time model. But while on one job in Scottsdale, Ariz., Mourning told van Zeller that three men entered her hotel room in the middle of the night. One of them was a man in the modeling industry. "And they all raped me, and they videotaped it and photographed it," Mourning said. When she returned home to Charlotte, N.C., Mourning told van Zeller that she was too embarrassed to tell her friends what had happened to her and too afraid to go to the police. She decided to put the incident behind her, but then she said her abuser called. "He wanted me to meet these men and sleep with them, and he gets all the footage," Mourning said. "And I was like, 'I'm not comfortable with that." and then he said, "well, you know, in other words, if I'm not going to be able to get you to do this voluntarily, then you're still going to do it.'" Mourning told van Zeller that her abuser claimed he had the videos of her being raped in Arizona and he threatened to sell them on the Internet with her name attached to them if she didn't prostitute for him. "It became threat after threat after blackmail after blackmail," Mourning said. "So when he went to say, 'hey, you know, I need you to go to this city,' or 'I'm in Charlotte and I need you to meet with this person,' then I did." Mourning said her trafficker was a wealthy and respected member of the Charlotte community, not someone who would have been suspected of sex trafficking. "Every single person that walks the face of the Earth has an aspect of vulnerability," Mourning said. "We all have something that can make us vulnerable. Traffickers and pimps and anybody that is in that industry knows how to find that weak spot." Jessica Ford, another young woman who is a sex trafficking survivor, told van Zeller that she was trafficked for years by pimps at massage parlors all over the country. "Thinking back, it makes me sick how many different people got in all the different places in my body," she said. Ford said she was one of hundreds of victims in her ring and that the that the youngest girl she saw being trafficked was 13 years old, but passed as older. "We had girls in Las Vegas. We had girls here in Houston, Texas. We had girls in Oklahoma. I mean, there was girls just coming in from all over the place." She also told van Zeller that while she was being trafficked, she was "branded" with a very large panther tattoo with the name "Big Jon" on her back. "I was just a piece of property, that's why we got branded," she said. "I have a panther on my back. That was their little logo. Majority of us girls had a panther tattooed on us with their names or name… you can't cover it." In 2009, the FBI indicted the gang of pimps responsible for trafficking Ford, and in 2013, three of the traffickers were sentenced to eight years in prison. "They should have gotten the death penalty," Ford said. Thousands of times every day, young American women are bought and sold. Mark Blackwell and Amiee Johnson, local activists in Charlotte, work the streets regularly to try to rescue girls from being trafficked. "They may not change their lives right away, they may go back to the streets, they may give up," Johnson said. "But they had an opportunity there that someone loved them unconditionally, and they'll realize that someone is always waiting for them to come home."

Why do children need ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’? Making children vulnerable to adult predators is something most would like to avoid, but you wouldn’t know it judging by the actions of Canadian politicians, policymakers, librarians, school staff, and some parents. Misguided adults — believing themselves to be engaging in fun, progressive entertainment — are failing to safeguard children across North America by exposing them to drag culture. “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH) became a regular event at North American libraries, schools, and bookstores beginning in 2015. The drag queens — all men dressed up as clownish versions of “women” — read stories to children under the guise of normalizing “gender fluidity” and giving kids “glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.” DQSH has chapters in 29 states, as well as in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. Drag story time events have become incredibly popularized, expanding beyond DQSH — a library in Saint John, New Brunswick held its own version of drag story time earlier this month, and the Toronto Public Library hosted a “Drag Queen Family Storytime” on June 18. Even small coastal towns like Sechelt, B.C. have caught on, where a Drag Queen Storytime took place over the weekend. Lumped under the LGBTQ umbrella, DQSH claims to “celebrate diversity,” but what are children really being taught to accept? We are talking about adult men performing (really, mocking) femininity — often in provocative, sexualized costumes — the kind women don’t typically wear, certainly not when invited to read to children. Drag queens and drag culture tend to be hypersexualized, mimicking strippers in revealing costumes; portraying exaggerated, objectified “women;” performing sexualized dances; and using explicit language throughout. Needless to say, drag is inappropriate for children. Those not indoctrinated into modern woke culture likely have an inherent discomfort upon seeing children engaging with drag culture and many have expressed concerns that normalizing drag shows for children facilitates pedophilia by “grooming” children to accept the hypersexualized behaviour and appearances of men. In a conversation with conservative commentator, Todd Starnes, U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Montana) said: “I’m sorry, this is a classic example of grooming these children and having them have discussions about sexuality that they should not be exposed to. And anyone that thinks that is somewhere short of child abuse is wrong. It’s very close to pedophilia as far as I’m concerned.” These concerns are often framed as “anti-LGBTQ” or dismissed as hysteria from the Christian right. But there is validity to the fact that children who are led to view sexual perversions and hypersexualized behaviour from men as normal are easier targets for pedophiles. Child sexual abuse is a serious problem in Canada, as well as around the globe. This year, Statistics Canada reported that between 2014 and 2020, the overall rate of online child sexual exploitation and abuse more than doubled. A 2017 Juristat report on police-reported crime statistics in Canada found that “[a]lthough the rate of police-reported violent crime declined overall, violent violations which experienced an increase in rate [included] sexual violations against children (+30 per cent)…” There are almost daily news reports of child sexual abuse, and many men openly advocate for the normalization of pedophilia, framing it as simply another sexual identity, akin to being gay. What’s needed is more child safeguarding — not less. Yet those who express concerns about exposing children to drag culture and teaching them to accept adult men performing sexuality are accused of bigotry, as well as homophobia and “transphobia.” The presumption that those raising concerns are homophobic ignores the fact that there are feminists opposed to normalizing drag for children, who are vocally pro-gay/pro-lesbian. The problem is that the LGBTQ umbrella has expanded to such an extent it now shelters men who wish to express their sexual fetishes publicly, which is not something only right-wing Christians are troubled by. British journalist, Jo Bartosch, who has written for numerous publications, including Lesbian and Gay News, The Critic, and feminist website, 4w, raised concerns in her 2020 Spiked article, “Drag Queen Story Time is not okay.” She writes: “DQST claims to offer ‘queer role models’ to children. But despite the popularity of its events, it remains unclear how a man in a lurid frock will make kids with two mums feel supported, or how DQST serves to stop the bullying of kids who don’t conform… DQST is a sinister attempt to force an adult ideology on to children.” Proponents of these kinds of events seem to believe it is important for children to have “queer” role models. And while kids should learn it is okay to be gay, the term “queer” has become nebulous. “Queer” used to mean strange, eccentric, or homosexual, but in recent years has come to refer to anything from polyamorous to trans-identified to various sexual fetishes. We now see “furries” and men who practice BDSM at Pride, their sexual proclivities on full display under the “queer” umbrella. The words “gay” and “homosexual” are not difficult to define — they simply mean same-sex attracted. And normalizing homosexuality in society is a good thing, but drag performances for children are not about (appropriately dressed) lesbians and gays reading to children — rather, they are about hyperfeminized, hypersexualized, cross-dressing men. Children don’t need to know about the sexual interests or “gender identities” of adults — indeed, storytime need not be politicized to reflect adult virtue signalling. Given that drag is clearly adult entertainment, it is worth asking ourselves why child safeguarding practices have gone out the window when it comes to drag culture. Even drag queens have cautioned parents about exposing their children to drag culture. In 2021, drag queen Kitty Demure had a message for parents who take their children to Drag Queen Story Hour: “I have no idea why you want drag queens to read books to your children… What in the hell has a drag queen ever done to make you have so much respect for them and admire them so much? Other than put on makeup and jump on the floor and writhe around and do sexual things on stage? I have absolutely no idea why you would want that to influence your child. Would you want a stripper or a porn star to influence your child? … A drag queen performs in a nightclub for adults. There is a lot of filth that goes on, a lot of sexual stuff that goes on. And backstage there’s a lot of nudity, sex, and drugs… So I don’t think this is an avenue you would want your child to explore… But to actually get [your children] involved in drag is extremely, extremely irresponsible on your part.” He also criticized bringing children to Pride events, saying “they don’t belong there.” “There’s a lot of adult activity that is going on at the gay Pride events and in the nightclubs. And I think it’s just irresponsible. I don’t understand how parents allow it… There’s lots of drugs, alcohol, sex, nudity, you name it, in the gay nightclubs — they’re all like that. Children should not be a part of this culture.” Why is this practice suddenly so popularized and why are adults going along? Drag performances feature everywhere from farmer’s markets to elementary schools — sometimes without parental knowledge or consent. Earlier this month, Dallas parents took their children to “Drag the Kids to Pride Drag Show” at Mr. Misster, a gay bar with a neon sign inside reading, “IT’S NOT GONNA LICK ITSELF!” A handful of children were invited to strut down the walkway and “strike a pose,” led by the drag queens. Videos of the event show children handing money to drag queens in sexualized costumes, dancing provocatively as though they were strippers. My generation was told not to talk to strangers — today, children are encouraged to engage in sexy performances with adults. Drag has now been fully mainstreamed. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars earlier this month and tweeted about it. On the show she said, “It’s my honour to be here, to say to all of you how proud we all are of you. Thank you for the joy and beauty you bring to the world.” RuPaul’s Drag Race, a reality TV show about men who compete against each other to become the next drag superstar, judged by America’s most famous drag queen, RuPaul, is not only in its 14th season and winner of Emmy awards, it has become a franchise with spin-offs and international versions, including a Canadian one. But drag hasn’t just been normalized as adult entertainment. In 2019, the CBC featured Drag Kids, a documentary following four kids who dream of being drag queens, and prepare to compete in an all ages drag show at Montreal Pride. The kids are hypersexualized in heels and makeup, encouraged by their parents — some of whom label their children “queer.” This year, the CBC’s French streaming platform released a musical children’s TV series called Barbada, hosted by drag queen Barbada de Barbades (Sébastien Potvin). In the first episode, musical guest, Klô Pelgag, sings the lyrics, “germent au coeur des idées érotiques,” which translates to “germinating erotic ideas in the heart,” and in episode two Guylaine Tanguay sings, “Il m’a appris à yodeler et comment faire l’amour” (“He taught me how to yodel and make love”). Growing up, I watched many popular children’s TV shows, including Sesame Street, The Polka Dot Door, and Passe-Partout, and don’t recall any mention of “erotic ideas” or men teaching women about lovemaking. Last year, Disney+ aired This is Me: Pride Celebration Spectacular, a concert hosted by “Drag Artist and LGBTQ+ Advocate” Nina West (Andrew Levitt). The 43-year-old, who refers to himself as a girl, is joined by beloved muppet Kermit the Frog, as well as other drag queens, like Jackie Cox (Darius Rose), who perform children’s songs from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. Netflix series, AJ and the Queen, couples a drag queen named Ruby Red (played by 60-year-old RuPaul) with a 10-year-old girl named AJ (Izzy G.), who travel across the United States together in an RV for Ruby’s cross-country drag tour. Ruby Red/Robert is portrayed favourably, as patient, level-headed, and generous — the Mr. Rogers of drag. AJ is repeatedly exposed to sexualized behaviour and speech, as characters say things like, “Half my girlfriends have penises” and “Girl, we gonna take the Hershey highway [a reference to anal sex] — if you were older, you’d love that.” A gay policeman talks about hooking up with a man in front AJ, saying, “Sorry, not great language for a kid.” Robert responds, “Her? She’s 50.” This series, similar to others featuring drag queens, grooms viewers not to see this as inappropriate. Apparently drag makes adult men inherently safe and trustworthy. Last year, child drag superstar, Desmond Napoles (aka Desmond is Amazing), was featured in the TV special Stonewall Inn Safe Spaces Concert. He wore makeup, heels, a short sequined dress, and a skin-tight outfit exposing his midriff, dancing in a feminized way. According to Dazed, “Desmond Napoles was only eight when a video of him vogueing his way through the NYC Pride Parade in a rainbow skirt went viral. Since then he has catapulted to stardom in the global queer community…” There are numerous images and videos of the now 15-year-old online, emulating the adult men who perform drag in provocative ways. Desmond now identifies as “they” and has founded Haus of Amazing, a drag community for kids. Concerns have been roundly ignored. Despite public complaints, a Quebec library went forward with a drag queen storytime featuring Barbada, who said in defense of his performance: “Every kid who comes to see this story hour is, you know, goes back home with a sense of: Okay, I understand what a drag queen is. I understand that it’s different, but it’s definitely not dangerous and we can have a great time with a drag queen.” The mayor of Dorval responded to the complaints, saying, “We do not want anybody to come here and protest and make their point of view.” These events have not been without issues. In 2019, the Houston Public Library admitted they allowed a registered sex offender — 32-year-old Alberto Garza (aka Tatiana Mala Nina) — to read to children at Drag Queen Storytime. That same year, Sasha Sota flashed flesh coloured tights to a group of toddlers during Drag Queen Story Hour at Hennepin County Library in Minnesota. A Portland, Oregon library made the news when pictures emerged of children lying on top of the drag queen performing at its Drag Queen Story Hour. In 2021 Brett Blomme, the former president of LGBTQ+ advocacy group Cream City Foundation, the primary financial sponsor of Drag Queen Story Hour Milwaukee, was charged with seven counts of possession of child pornography. Last year, Anna Slatz reported that Katy Baird, who was performing with Palaver Party for Kids, a drag and cabaret-themed show, boasted on the production company’s website, “I am thrilled to be given this incredible opportunity to corrupt young minds with queerdo stories, aesthetics, and politics…” Most parents want to protect their kids from sexual predators, so why are so many allowing their children to be exposed to adult entertainment and strange men? It would seem that many parents unquestioningly accept the messaging advanced by DQSH organizers and proponents, which conflates drag with homosexuality. These parents believe they are promoting “diversity” and open-mindedness to their kids. People wish to appear progressive, not bigoted, and we are repeatedly told only bigots do not support everything LGBTQ+. People also tend not to want to look too closely at the problem of pedophilia; it is too upsetting and uncomfortable. Going along with the sparkly, rainbow-coloured narrative is much less demanding than considering unintended consequences or thinking more critically about the narrative put forward. Besides, all those movies and TV shows feature drag, so it must be okay! What these parents, as well as librarians, school staff, and others, seem to have forgotten is that historically, sexual predators have rarely been open about their true nature and motives. The Catholic priests that abused children and men like Jimmy Savile didn’t tell parents they would be preying on their children. In fact, they did the opposite. They groomed them, and tricked them into believing they were safe, which led to horrendous suffering. Drag queen story times break down children’s natural boundaries toward strange men and vulgar behaviour, making them vulnerable to sex predators. Drag is not the province of children. There are age-appropriate ways to offer children gay role models, minus the addition of sexualized themes. I'm with you most of the way, but I don't know why you had to have a crack at furries. I would easily rather have furries coming in to read children's stories in schools. After all, if a child decided they wanted to be furry, they could get in a fursuit play at being a fluffy animal and when they grew up and realised it was stupid they could unzip the suit and take it off. Not something you can easily do after 10 years of hormone therapy. Nor after you've had your penis removed or your breasts cut off. As a man, I find drag Queen's revolting. Not because I'm a homophobe, but because it is a blatant insult to women. When they dress up like this, this is their idea of what women look like. It would be no different if I got on stage in blackface and called myself a drag slave. There would be outrage and rightly so. i am appalled at the views expressed in this article. drag is performance. not fetish. equating drag queens with pedophiles is no different than equating gays and lesbians with pediphiles; an old and tired and awful attack. these are dangerous views. we have many ways we try to promote literacy. kids have pajama parties in libraries. kids read books aloud to animals in shelters. and yes, theatrical drag performers certainly hold attention when they read to children. shame on you for damning a group of performers who want to share literature with children and calling them pedophiles. you sound no different than the far right christian trumpers. seriously? your article diminishes feminism. it is a problem. this fear-mongering is a problem and a gross distortion of feminism. I know a trans man who is about to turn 33. He didn't finish college and left his parents with a crushing debt because he was too depressed to deal effectively with financial aid problems. He quit going to class a couple of months and hid out in his room, while he waited to be kicked out. He made it through the semester, and when he could see no way out other than to pretend to go through the graduation he hadn't earned, he did just that. Then he spent the next six months camping out on his sister's floor, too depressed to do anything except move his car on street-sweeping day. He was on the verge of suicide. Fortunately he made its through, got a two-semester bookkeeping certificate, and now has a full-time job with benefits. Suicide is mostly in the rearview mirror now. This is a person with a high degree of integrity and a commitment to the higher good. I give thanks for him every day. The young man I speak of is my son. This article is horrible, and feeds the kind of hatred that nearly killed my own kind and brilliant child. Well, statistically speaking, it seems that most drag queens are homosexual and most pedos are homosexual as well. Now correlation cannot be causation, however, correlation does actually tell us something. Now I can't say that the majority of drag queens are pedophiles, but I would say that in general. Putting your kids in a room full of drag queens will expose them more to paedophiles. Then it would putting them in a room full of farmers. Or engineers. Or astronauts? And is it a healthy thing for children to see the idea through the eyes of a drag queen of what a woman looks like and acts like? Because this is exactly what is being shown. A misogynistic gay man. Showing kids what he thinks about women. That's what a drag queen is that's what a drag queen does. Even if he doesn't touch the kids sexually. He has already done the damage mentally. im a therapist. drag queens do not equal pedophiles. this is not a sexual orientation nor is it a fetish. it is performance. a pedophile can hide anywhere. a teacher. a counselor. a priest. a relative. this article is shameful. feminists turning on drag queens and labeling them as pedophiles? let’s just do to them what has been done to gays and lesbians??? i would not expose my child to these so -called feminists. i would however bring my child to have a book read to them by a drag queen. I don't think that "drag queen story hours" for children are a good idea. I don't understand the current fascination with drag queens and the example of the child drag queen Desmond is very depressing. However, I disagree with the author when she suggests that drag queens are dangerous child abusers ("sexual predators have rarely been open about their true nature and motives"). She is demonizing drag queens - there is no empirical evidence indicating that drag queens are more likely to be sexually attracted to children than other men. Of course there have been examples of drag queens who turned out to be sex offenders, but the idea that drag queens (who tend to be gay men) are much more dangerous than other men is based on prejudice towards men who disobey gender expectations, not on facts. Children are the most vulnerable to sexual and other abuse in their own homes. Their mum's new boyfriend is much more likely to become their abuser than a drag queen. The author mentions the "sexual perversions" of drag queens: I am wondering what she means by that. Is dressing as a woman or "performing sexualized dances" a form of "sexual perversion"? This sounds very intolerant to me, though I am not in the least enthusiastic about drag queens... I just became aware of Drag Queen Story Hour -- at my small-town Massachusetts library. Turns out it's been happening for several years. What were they thinking?? I know the library director pretty well and intend to ask her, but the normalization of this surprised me because I've been around long enough to see how misogynistic men in drag can be. I'd still caution about getting into bed with the right wing on this, or on any other issue where our views seem to coincide on the surface. The right has a lot more money and clout. In coalition with them we have no power at all. Think All Child Molesters are Pedophiles? Think Again. ? Categorizing those that sexually abuse children as predatory pedophiles is not only a common misconception – it’s also dangerous. It gives us a sense that offenders are easier to identify through grooming behaviors or a lack therof, and easier to understand – that they have a sexual perversion that can’t be cured. This makes it all the more difficult to understand how someone respected and well-liked could sexually abuse a child, and consequently convict abusers who do not have a pattern of behavior that people would believe would correlate with being a pedophile. For example, those that sexually abuse children may view adult pornography, creating a defense that they must be innocent because they do not exhibit signs of being sexually attracted to children. But, based on the evidence about sexual abuse, sexual attraction to children is not a prerequisite to sexual molesters of children. We think of sexual offenders as wolves waiting to pounce from the shadows, when in reality – it’s more often the gentle shepherd that we need to focus on. Why is this? Why would seemingly good people sexually abuse children? Decades of research suggests it has less to do with sexually attraction, and much more to do with the psychological issues behind their motivation. What are Pedophiles, Exactly? A pedophile is an adult person (usually male, but can be female) that has a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. They may prefer a specific sex or be sexually attracted to both males and females. There are also hebephiles – adults attracted to adolescents that have entered puberty – generally aged 11-14 years old. A pedophile does not become a sexual offender until they act upon those sexual urges, by viewing child pornography, or sexually abusing children. Since they have an innate sexual attraction to children, those that offend, will seek out children. Some may groom children over a period of time, and others may act impulsively and abuse a child briefly. Other perpetrators that prey on children, may do so because of sadistic or sociopathic tendencies – they take pleasure in mentally and physically manipulating and abusing others and may also target adults. So, How is A Situational Offender Different? Possible Scenarios of Situational Offenders: They can be family members, teachers, coaches, babysitters, and most juvenile offenders. Examples: A grandfather that never abused his own children, but molested his grandchildren. A teacher that seduced a student from their class. A boy that sexually abused his sisters and her friends during a playdate. A nanny that took photos of her sexually abusing a child in her care and sent the photos to her boyfriend. In these cases, the offenders did not necessarily ‘seek out’ an opportunity to abuse a child, but rather, found themselves in a situation that enabled them to abuse a child and took it. Sure – some predatory pedophiles may purposely seek such positions, but situational offenders do not. Grooming techniques may be used, but the basic foundation of trust – and most importantly, access, has already been established. Why Do They Abuse? The FBI has established four types of adult situational offenders and the psychological issues behind their behavior: Repressed offenders may be struggling with a job loss, divorce, illness, or death in the family or other life issue that is causing feelings of stress or depression. The morally indiscriminate may physically abuse children as well as sexually or physically abuse other adults. It’s not about sex as much as it is about control and desecration of another human. The sexually indiscriminate may have an addiction to sex and be involved in other illegal sexual behaviors – prostitution, bestiality etc. The inadequate offender may be considered a social outcast due to communication barriers or physical differences that make forming intimate relationships with their peers difficult. Situational offenders often have sexual relationships with their peers, or they may struggle socially and fail to form intimate relationships with other adults. Children are an easy target – easier to coerce, manipulate, control and silence. It is no coincidence that child abuse and animal abuse are connected. Those most vulnerable are at the greatest risk to be targeted by those that seek pleasure in abusing others. ‘Thinking Errors’ While child sexual abuse is morally wrong, many offenders create and reinforce ‘thinking errors’ to rationalize and minimize the impact of their abuse. The inclusive and most detrimental factor of these errors is that they refuse to consider the best interests of the child. For example: They may convince themselves that if the child is young enough that he/she won’t understand or remember. That children are not ‘people’ and do not have the same rights as adults. That their children are their property. Abusing children not their own is ‘less bad’ than abusing their own biological children. That the relationship is loving – that they are filling an emotional need for the child. That the child wants and/or sought out the sexual abuse and had the developmental readiness to enter into such a relationship. That they are ‘teaching’ the child about sex. That if the child consents to the abuse, it isn’t abuse. That they are not physically harming the child – so therefore, their behavior is not damaging the child. That the child deserves to be punished. Aren’t Most Adult Offenders Former Victims? Hindman and Peters (2001) found that 67 percent of sex offenders initially reported experiencing sexual abuse as children, but when given a polygraph (“lie detector”) test, the proportion dropped to 29 percent, suggesting that some sex offenders exaggerate early childhood victimization in an effort to rationalize their behavior or gain sympathy from others. Female Offenders Although limited research exists, it is suggested that for many cases involving female perpetrators the motivation is not primarily sexual, but emotional needs (loneliness, low self-esteem, depression), and that women offenders are more likely to have experienced or be in abusive relationships (sexual, physical, and/or psychological) than male offenders. Evidence would also suggest that female perpetrators are less “predatory” and lean more toward being “opportunistic” offenders. Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation, offered the following types of female perpetrators: Facilitators women who intentionally aid men in gaining access to children for sexual purposes Reluctant partners women in long term relationships who go along with sexual exploitation of a minor out of fear of being abandoned Initiating partner women who want to sexually offend against a child, they may do it themselves or get a man or another woman to do it while they watch Seducers and Lovers women who direct their sexual interest against adolescents and develop an intense attachment Pedophiles women who desire an exclusive and sustain sexual relationship with a child (a very rare occurrence) Psychotic women who suffer from a mental illness and who have inappropriate sexual contact with children as a result Juvenile Offenders This may be one of the biggest reality-checking curve-balls regarding child sexual abuse. Who would have ever thought up to 35-40% of abusers were older or more powerful children? Seven out of eight juvenile offenders are at least 12 years old, and 93% are boys. (Crimes Against Children Research Center, UNH, 2010) What would bring a child to sexually abuse another child? Sexual curiosity and a lack of proper education and guidance of healthy sexual behaviors Acting out in response to physical abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse Sexual abuse as a form of bullying Sexual abuse as a prank or form of hazing While recidivism rates are hard to determine due to the challenge that most abuse is not reported, there is evidence to suggest that juveniles respond more positively to treatment than adult offenders. However, the prevalence of child-on-child sexual abuse is enough to warrant a nation-wide awareness effort for parents and caregivers to educate children on healthy sexual behaviors and remain vigilant for signs of abusive tendencies. Also, given that most children are exposed to pornography before they enter high school, and the growing evidence that such exposure can create dangerous attitudes regarding sex, the threat of sexual abuse by juveniles to increase, not decrease, is certainly arguable. How Can We Stop Them? Even though they are not targeting children with premeditated abuse intended, situational offenders may still employ ‘grooming’ tactics to gain access and break down a child’s barriers. When we say that raising awareness for child sexual abuse is part of the solution – we mean it. Offenders can be deterred when people are educated and talk about child sexual abuse openly. Silence truly does empower abuse because it allows those ‘thinking errors’ space to grow. If no one is talking about it – then it is more comfortable for potential offenders to think about it, and rationalize abuse. Minimize opportunity – child care centers, youth serving organizations, and schools have a lot of work to do to make their environments safer for children. How they screen applications, train staff, and the policies and procedures they have to make sure conduct between staff and the children are appropriate and increase understanding of grooming behaviors and how to appropriately handle suspected or disclosed abuse. And, there is a lot we can do within our own homes, during playdates, family gatherings etc to keep our kids safe with those we trust the most. Educate children. Children deserve to know their rights and have those rights upheld by the people who have the power to do so – adults. They need to be told no one – not their parents, not their babysitter, or even their doctor should be touching them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable – and especially in regard to their private parts. They need to know that it is never their fault and that it is never too late to tell. It should never be a child’s responsibility to prevent abuse – rather, the focus should best be kept on telling someone when they have a concern. And, with so much abuse being perpetrated by other juveniles, all children need to be educated early and often on the concepts of consent, respect, and healthy body boundaries. Think of prevention education like a security system – awareness is the lock on the door that deters the situational offenders. By working to minimize opportunity and be vigilant for red flag behavior of possible grooming situations – those are the motion detectors that sound off when there is dangerous movement. The educated child knows they can call for help when someone (most likely someone they know) – violates the rules of body safety. Educating children without working to educate the adults that surround our children is, in a way, like leaving the door wide open and leaving it up to our children to defend themselves. Does this mean we trust no one with our children? No. It means we trust with knowledge and vigilance. Trust is not a gift – it is a continual function of healthy relationships. And when we trust – we verify that trust. Now the only question is – if education is a major factor in preventing abuse, what will it take to break the taboo surrounding child sexual abuse that holds people back from even talking about it? Perhaps understanding what motivates abuse can help tear down the blinders so many eagerly wear and tighten to defend identified abusers. I have been asked whether the "errors in thinking" that give rise to numerous forms of criminal conduct apply also to sex offenders, especially pedophiles. The answer is that they do. Specifically: 1. The pedophile does not put himself in the place of the youngster in terms of considering possible psychological damage. 2. The pedophile justifies sexual contact with minors when held accountable in many ways, including saying that the youngster "wanted it." Even if this were the case, the perpetrator knows it is illegal and that not only will he pay a price for this behavior, but the youngster will likely have to face interviews by the police, social services, and others. That is, there is an aftermath that causes suffering even if the youngster willingly participated. While professing how much he cares about the child, the perpetrator of the sexual conduct lacks an operational concept of "injury" to others. 3. The pedophile insists that the behavior be kept secret. He thereby exercises total control over the youngster in order to protect himself. 4. The pedophile is shutting off from awareness deterrents, both in terms of potential consequences of what he knows to be an illegal act, and he is shutting off deterrents of conscience. 5. The pedophile regards his situation as unique and fully acceptable and justifiable after the fact. 6. The pedophile often takes advantage of youngsters who are emotionally troubled and psychologically needy. 7. The pedophile operates in secrecy. He knows right from wrong but what he wants to do is "right" for him at the time. These are among the thinking errors that underlie adult sexual contact with and exploitation of children. Are Pedophiles Born or Made? Both nature and nurture combine in a complex way in the genesis of a pedophile. KEY POINTS As for other mental disorders, evidence is increasingly showing that both nature and nurture play a role in the genesis of pedophilia. Some neuroscientists claim to have demonstrated by brain imaging studies that the brains of pedophiles are wired differently to non-pedophiles. An individual’s environment, particularly when they themselves are still a child, can also affect whether they later develop pedophilic urges. A better understanding of how pedophilic urges arise in a person might help us to recognise and prevent them before they ruin children’s lives. Surely few things are as likely to generate revulsion in society as pedophilia. This behaviour triggers revulsion not only because of the perceived unnaturalness of the attraction, but also because if pedophiles act upon their desires, they may wreck the future lives of the children they target, with all the physical and psychological trauma that can ensue. Our revulsion is also based on the fact that children are seen as innocent and vulnerable compared to adults and the pedophile threatens to exploit that vulnerability and destroy that innocence. Important questions to address, then, are: What causes pedophilia? And how we might better diagnose and treat those with the disorder? Understandably, some believe we should not even debate this issue. As Paul Jones, father of April Jones, a five-year-old girl from Machynlleth, Wales, who was abducted and murdered by a pedophile in 2012, has explained, "People, they think, 'Why should we help the pedophile? We should be prosecuting them, throwing them in jail, having them castrated.’" Perhaps surprisingly, Jones does not believe in this approach. As he notes, "If we offer help to pedophiles, we might save children who might have been abused." Why Understanding the Cause of Pedophilia Matters If we take this approach, we need to establish—as for other mental disorders—whether pedophiles are a product of biology or environment. And as for such other disorders, increasingly it seems that both nature and nurture play a role in the genesis of pedophilia. Certainly, some people think the condition is primarily a product of defective biology. For instance, James Cantor, of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, who uses magnetic resonance imaging to scan pedophiles’ brains, believes that "pedophilia is a sexual orientation; [it’s] something that we are essentially born with, does not appear to change over time, and it's as core to our being as any other sexual orientation is." Cantor claims his studies show that the brains of pedophiles are wired differently to non-pedophiles. According to him, "It’s as if, in these people, when they perceive a child, it’s triggering the sexual instincts instead of triggering the nurturing instincts." But we need to know whether any differences detected in scans of pedophiles’ brains are a cause of their behaviour, or its consequence. It is worth mentioning in this context a U.S. citizen who suddenly developed a sexual attraction towards children. This man, who was living with his second wife and his stepdaughter, became overcome by troubling urges. He began collecting material focusing on pedophilia and making sexual advances towards his prepubescent stepdaughter. She told her mother, and the man was thrown out of the family home. However, at this point, he began experiencing violent headaches and loss of balance. Rushed to the hospital, a scan revealed that he was suffering from a brain tumour. Amazingly, once this was surgically removed, the man’s headaches and balance problems disappeared, but so did his paedophilic urges. Seven months later, he completed a sexual offenders’ rehabilitation programme, and was allowed to return home to his wife and stepdaughter. But he became concerned when he again started to develop persistent headaches and a renewed interest in child pornography. The tumour that apparently had caused his pedophilia had returned. When it was removed, he was once again cured. Scientists concluded that the tumour interfered with the orbitofrontal cortex, which helps to regulate social behaviour, and exacerbated the man’s pre-existing interest in pornography, "manifesting sexual deviancy and pedophilia." Clearly, pedophilia is not generally caused by brain tumours, but this case shows that brain biology should not be disregarded when seeking to explain why some individuals show such horrifying sexual urges. The Role of Nurture in Pedophilia At the same time, it seems that an individual’s environment, particularly when they themselves are still a child, can also have an important impact on whether they will later develop pedophilic urges. Sadly, evidence shows that many people who sexually abuse children were themselves abused as a child. Take, for example, Nicholas, an Australian married father-of-four who admitted to being attracted to boys aged 12 to 14 in a 2016 report about pedophilia, but says he has never acted on his urges. According to Nicholas, "No-one chooses to be sexually attracted to children. And those of us who are unlucky enough to be sexually attracted to children can’t [make it go away]. But many of us can and do successfully resist our attraction." Yet he knows what it is like to be a recipient of such abuse. At 12 years old, he was molested by a holiday camp counsellor. In fact, about half of child sex offenders were sexually abused as children. It is important to note that the vast majority of sexual abuse victims do not grow up to become abusers. However, some scientists believe a biological predisposition to the condition, combined with the experience of being molested as a child, might lead to someone developing the condition as an adult. According to James Cantor, "It could be that biology causes pedophilia, but that environment makes a person more likely to act on that sexual interest and molest a child." A common form that discussions about "nature vs. nurture" take is that biology and environment are separate, albeit able to produce a combined effect in an individual. However, the idea that human behaviour is determined either by biology, or social environment, or a simple addition of the two, is being challenged by new findings in epigenetics, a subject that a recent article in Nature claimed provides "a molecular middle ground in the centuries-old debate over nature versus nurture." And it seems that even our genomes are highly sensitive to our environment, which can include traumatic experiences. So it wouldn’t be at all surprising if the respective roles of biology and environment in the genesis of a pedophile turn out to be highly complex and intertwined. Acknowledging this complexity is surely vital if we want to better understand how pedophilic urges arise in an individual and how we might recognize and prevent them before they ruin children’s lives. Pedophiles don’t have signs on their backs or neon arrows pointing over their heads. It’s easier to believe that the “dirty old man in the park” rather than the clean-cut bus driver down the street is a pedophile. Pedophiles aren’t confined to our Catholic churches. They are in Protestant churches, synagogues, and mosques. Some of them are teachers, counselors, scout leaders, truck drivers, factory workers, and youth ministers. In fact, they are wherever children can be found, irrespective of age, race, education, occupation, class, social standing, or income. Celibacy isn’t the reason priests prey on children. Sexual attraction to children, and sexual gratification from children, are the reasons. Characteristics of a Pedophile There is no hard and fast profile of a pedophile. Here are some general characteristics: Popular with both children and adults. Appears to be trustworthy and respectable. Has good standing in the community. Prefers the company of children. Feels more comfortable with children than adults. Is mainly attracted to prepubescent boys and girls. Can be heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. “Grooms” children with quality time, video games, parties, candy, toys, gifts, money. Singles out children who seem troubled and in need of attention or affection. Often dates or marries women with children that are the age of his preferred victims. Rarely forces or coerces a child into sexual contact. Usually through trust and friendship. Physical contact is gradual, from touching, to picking up, to holding on lap, to kissing, etc. Derives gratification in a number of ways. For some, looking is enough. For others, taking pictures or watching children undress is enough. Still others require more contact. Finds different ways and places to be alone with children. Are primarily (but not always) male, masculine, better-educated, more religious than average, in their thirties, and choose jobs allowing them greater access to children. Are usually family men, have no criminal record, and deny that they abuse children, even after caught, convicted, incarcerated, and court-ordered into a sex offender program. The marriage is often troubled by sexual dysfunction, and serves as a smokescreen for the pedophile’s true preferences and practices. Are often, but not always, themselves victims of some form of childhood sexual abuse. Even if the pedophile has no children, his home is usually child-friendly, with toys, books, video games, computers, bikes, swing sets, skateboards, rec room, pool, snacks – things to attract children to his home and keep them coming back. Usually the items reflect the preferred age of his victims. A female pedophile usually abuses a child when partnered with an adult male pedophile, and is often herself a victim of chronic sexual abuse. A pedophile can act independently, or be involved in an organized ring, including the Internet, NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association), and other pro-pedophilia groups. Some pedophiles recognize that their behavior is criminal, immoral, and unacceptable by society, and operate in secrecy. Some are quite open and militant about their practices and advocate the normalization of pedophilia under the guise of freedom of speech and press, and uses innocuous language like “intergenerational intimacy.” Pedo means “child” in Greek. Phile is a derivative of Greek, Latin, and French, meaning “love.” The Exclusive type of pedophile is attracted to children only. The Non-Exclusive is attracted to both children and adults. Abuse Patterns & Treatment A pedophile will not stop on his own, and will not turn himself in, because he does not take responsibility for his behavior and denies that he’s doing anything harmful. He will abuse until he’s caught. A child does not always recognize when he or she is being abused, manipulated, or groomed by a pedophile. Unless the pedophile is a sexual sadist, he does not have to threaten a child into silence. The trust, gifts, secrecy, and “relationship” are enough. In some cases, the abuser will coerce the child into silence by saying that if anyone finds out, he would go to jail, or the child would, and maybe the child’s parents. In other cases, threats to harm the child, pets, and family are used. Pedophiles can be “treated” but never cured, because their sexual preference has always been, and always will be, children. Their urges will always be present. Therefore, treatment focuses on changing, curbing, or re-directing the acting-out behaviors of pedophiles. Summary Knowing the profile of a pedophile, does this mean that the little league coach who has a great rapport with kids and treats them to pizza at his house is suspect? Or that the teacher who throws pool parties is? Of course not. The majority of people who like and work with children are not pedophiles. It does mean that we should be observant of all the adults in our children’s lives, whether they wear a white collar, a blue collar, or a clerical collar. If a child tells us he or she has been sexually abused by someone, be it family, friend, or trusted adult, we are obligated by law to report it to a child abuse hotline, police, or local children’s services agency.

The Internet can be wonderful for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. For many of us, we see our online lives and offline lives as different, but children are growing up with technology and the internet and for them there isn’t a difference; online life and offline life is just life. Technology can move at an extraordinarily fast pace and it can be difficult to know how to start talking to your child about what they’re doing online, who they might be speaking to or discussing the potential risks and issues. Talking regularly with your child is the greatest tool to help keep them safe online. Talking regularly and making it part of daily conversation, like you would about their day at school, will help your child feel relaxed. It also means when they do have any worries, they’re more likely to come and speak to you. But it can also be easy to become overwhelmed with the different technology, the language that children use, the huge number of games and apps which are available and the potential risks. But online access also comes with risks, like inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and online predators. Using social media apps and websites where kids interact, predators may pose as a child or teen looking to make a new friend. They might prod the child to exchange personal information, such as address and phone number, or encourage kids to call them, seeing their phone number via caller ID. Parents should be aware of what their kids see and hear online, who they meet, and what they share about themselves. Talk with your kids, use tools to protect them, and keep an eye on their activities. A federal law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) helps protect kids younger than 13 when they're online. It's designed to keep anyone from getting a child's personal information without a parent knowing about it and agreeing to it first. COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies and get parental consent before collecting or using a child's personal information, such as a name, address, phone number, or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or enter a contest. Online tools let you control your kids' access to adult material and help protect them from Internet predators. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) provide parent-control options. You can also get software that helps block access to sites and restricts personal information from being sent online. Other programs can monitor and track online activity. More important than blocking objectionable material is teaching your kids safe and responsible online behavior, and keeping an eye on their Internet use. Basic guidelines to share with your kids for safe online use: Follow the family rules, and those set by the Internet service provider. Never post or trade personal pictures. Never reveal personal information, such as address, phone number, or school name or location. Use only a screen name and don't share passwords (other than with parents). Never agree to get together in person with anyone met online without parent approval and/or supervision. Never respond to a threatening email, message, post, or text. Always tell a parent or other trusted adult about any communication or conversation that was scary or hurtful. Basic guidelines for parental supervision: Spend time online together to teach your kids appropriate online behavior. Keep the computer in a common area where you can watch and monitor its use, not in individual bedrooms. Monitor any time spent on smartphones or tablets. Bookmark kids' favorite sites for easy access. Check your credit card and phone bills for unfamiliar account charges. Find out what, if any, online protection is offered by your child's school, after-school center, friends' homes, or any place where kids could use a computer without your supervision. Take your child seriously if he or she reports an uncomfortable online exchange. If you're aware of the sending, use, or viewing of child pornography online, call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678 or go online to their CyberTipline. They'll make sure the info is forwarded to law enforcement officials for investigation. Contact your local law enforcement agency or the FBI if your child has received child pornography via the Internet. Watch for warning signs of a child being targeted by an online predator. These can include: spending long hours online, especially at night phone calls from people you don't know unsolicited gifts arriving in the mail your child suddenly turning off the computer or other device when you walk into the room withdrawal from family life and reluctance to discuss online activities Talk to your kids! Keep an open line of communication and make sure that they feel comfortable turning to you when they have problems online. As kids get older, it gets a little trickier to monitor their time spent online. They may carry a smartphone with them at all times. They probably want — and need — some privacy. This is healthy and normal, as they're becoming more independent from their parents. The Internet can provide a safe "virtual" environment for exploring some newfound freedom if precautions are taken. Talk about the sites and apps teens use and their online experiences. Discuss the dangers of interacting with strangers online and remind them that people online don't always tell the truth. Explain that passwords are there to protect against things like identity theft. They should never share them with anyone, even a boyfriend, girlfriend, or best friend. Taking an active role in your kids' online activities helps ensure that they benefit from them without being exposed to the potential dangers. Thousands of videos on YouTube look like versions of popular cartoons but contain disturbing and inappropriate content not suitable for children. If you're not paying much attention, it might look like an ordinary video featuring Peppa Pig, the cheeky porcine star of her own animated series. But soon after pressing play on this particular YouTube clip, the plot turns dark. A dentist with a huge syringe appears. Peppa's teeth get pulled out. Distressed crying can be heard on the soundtrack. Parent and journalist Laura June almost immediately noticed something was not quite right as her three-year-old daughter was watching it. "Peppa does a lot of screaming and crying and the dentist is just a bit sadistic and it's just way, way off what a three-year-old should watch," June says. She wrote about her experiences on the website The Outline. "But the animation is like close enough to looking like Peppa - it's crude but it's close enough that my daughter was like 'This is Peppa Pig.'" It's far from an isolated case - BBC Trending has found hundreds of similar videos of children's cartoon characters with inappropriate themes. In addition to Peppa Pig, there are similar videos featuring characters from the Disney movie Frozen, the Minions franchise, Doc McStuffins, Thomas the Tank Engine, and many more. Some of the videos are parodies or have such over-the-top content that they're clearly meant for mature audiences. Others are unauthorised copies of authentic cartoons or use the characters in innocent ways - troubling to copyright lawyers perhaps, but not necessarily harmful to children. However many, like the video Laura June's daughter saw, both contain disturbing content and can pass for the real cartoons, particularly when viewed by children. Hundreds of these videos exist on YouTube, and some generate millions of views. One channel "Toys and Funny Kids Surprise Eggs" is one of the top 100 most watched YouTube accounts in the world - its videos have more than 5 billion views. Its landing page features a photo of a cute toddler alongside official-looking pictures of Peppa Pig, Thomas the Tank Engine, the Cookie Monster, Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Elsa from Frozen. But the videos on the channel have titles like "FROZEN ELSA HUGE SNOT", "NAKED HULK LOSES HIS PANTS" and "BLOODY ELSA: Frozen Elsa's Arm is Broken by Spiderman". They feature animated violence and graphic toilet humour. The people behind the account didn't respond to Trending's request for an interview. We attempted to contact several other producers of similar videos - and got the same result. Trending also contacted two companies behind the cartoon series being ripped off, Disney and EntOne - the distributor of Peppa Pig. Neither wanted to comment. So should parents take more care when it comes to allowing their children to watch cartoons on YouTube? Sonia Livingstone is an expert on child online safety and professor of social psychology at the London School of Economics, "It's perfectly legitimate for a parent to believe that something called Peppa Pig is going to be Peppa Pig," she says. "And I think many of them have come to trust YouTube... as a way of entertaining your child for ten minutes while the parent makes a phone call. I think if it wants to be a trusted brand then parents should know that protection is in place." "I don't think we want to police it for the whole world," Livingstone says. "A lot of this material is satirical, creative - or actually offensive but within freedom of expression. What we need is child protection." YouTube did not offer a spokesperson for interview, but in a statement said: "We take feedback very seriously. We appreciate people drawing problematic content to our attention, and make it easy for anyone to flag a video. "Flagged videos are manually reviewed 24/7 and any videos that don't belong in the app are removed within hours. For parents who want a more restricted experience, we recommend that they turn off the Search feature in the app." The company also suggested that parents use the YouTube Kids app, which is available for mobile phones and tablets, and turn on "restricted mode" which limits flagged content. It can be found at the bottom of any page on the YouTube site, but cautions that "no filter is 100% accurate". And since Trending began investigating, several of the channels that we brought to the attention of YouTube have been removed - including the one containing the video of fake Peppa visiting the dentist.

Throughout history censorship has followed the free expressions of men and women like a shadow. In ancient societies, for example China, censorship was considered a legitimate instrument for regulating the moral and political life of the population. Censorship is ancient and global. The origin of the term censor can be traced to the office of censor established in Rome in 443 BC. In Rome as in ancient Greece, the ideal of good governance included shaping the character of the people. Hence censorship was regarded as an honorable task. In China the first censorship law was introduced in 300 AD. Today censorship is regarded as the suppression of free expression, speech, the exchange of ideas and other expressions. Censorship can be direct, indirect and self-imposed. Chairman Makes Pastor Stop Reading Disgusting Library Book at School Board Meeting, He Responds with 5 Brutal Words was, “That makes two of us.” A North Carolina pastor gave the perfect response when members of an Asheville school board tried to stop him from reading the sexually explicit text in one of the LGBT books the board has refused to take off school shelves. Rev. John Amanchukwu appeared before the Asheville City School Board of EducationFo on Monday to raise the alarm over a book that the board has approved for school libraries in the district. But when he tried to read aloud some of the book’s inappropriate content, the board quickly tried to shut him down. During his time at the mic, the minister said he wanted to read out loud some of the text from the book entitled “It’s Perfectly Normal,” by Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley, which can be found on school bookshelves. Some editions of the book, first published in 1994 and frequently updated as leftist culture has grown, have little banners on the cover that says the book is “For age 10 and up.” Rev. Amanchukwu read some of the sexually explicit material in the book, but only got seconds into his reading before the members of the school board tried to stop him from voicing the explicit material. “Was it something I said?” the pastor said, with a deadpan expression. “If you don’t want to hear it in a school board meeting, why should children be able to check it out of the school system?” he continued after being cut off by the board members. “We have perverts that are perverting our kids, and you all sit back, smug in your chairs … but you don’t want me to read it. Why, does it bother you?” Amanchukwu had the perfect reply when the board members told him, “your time is up” as they tried to shoo him from the mic. The pastor’s perfect five-word response was, “That makes two of us.” Amanchukwu later appeared on “Fox & Friends First” to blast the school district for allowing these inappropriate books to sit on school bookshelves where grade-school-aged kids can get their hands on them. “This book is used as a tool to create what I call mental rape in the hearts and the minds of children,” Amanchukwu said Thursday, according to Fox News. “We are robbing kids of their innocence in America as we allow diversity, inclusion and equity to dominate our schools. And so many of our librarians are bringing this kind of material into the public school system because they believe that children need to see themselves on the shelf.” “I don’t believe that this is perfectly normal. I believe that this is perfectly perverted and it needs to stop,” he added. Amanchukwu slammed leftist educrats for teaching kids that every sort of sexual activity is normal, and said that for young kids, those topics are best handled in the home, not the classroom. “I’m against these things because parents should talk about these things at home,” Amanchukwu exclaimed. “If a parent wants to talk about masturbation and be explicit with their children and show them pornographic images, I don’t advise it. I don’t think it’s something that they should do, but that should be something that takes place at home. But when we rob our kids of their innocence, we’re leading in a sense… down a slippery slope.” “We are in a bad place in America. America is spiraling downward; it’s time to storm the cockpit as we talk about gender theory and queer theory, and we turn the schools woke,” Amanchukwu told Fox. “Our children are underperforming. Our students aren’t reading on grade level. They’re not doing math on grade level. Our achievement rates are down.” “It’s time to get back to education and not indoctrination,” he said, adding a warning to parent that “you can’t let your guard down for one second.” “There are sexually evil and corrupt and deviant, perverted people who believe that this is OK, and so this is how it works. They bring the pornography into the school system. They bring in these gender theory and quit the books, and the parents don’t know it’s there,” he said, before slamming the school district for forcing parents to go through a “10-step process” to remove such books. The pastor said what is going on in schools “is sinister. It’s criminal. It’s child abuse.” This is not the first time the minister has torched a North Carolina school board. Back in 2022, he attended a meeting of the Wake County School Board, as well, and slammed the school for wasting education dollars on meaningless, woke, make-work departments. Amanchukwu excoriated the school for wasting money on a diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) office, saying, “We’re wasting taxpayer dollars putting money toward this diversity office that’s not benefiting those who need it the most.” He also paraphrased Luke 17:2 during his comments, and said, “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.” Asheville recently enlarged its school board from a five-member, unelected board to seven elected members, according to the Citizen Times. It has taken way too long, of course, but fortunately, Americans are finally starting to pay more attention to what is going on in our schools. People like Amanchukwu are helping expose the woke, anti-child, left-wing agenda and its penchant for grooming our children for the radical LGBTQ XXX agenda. Mom blasts school board for allowing books promoting pedophilia in school libraries A concerned mother has slammed one of the largest school districts in the United States for including sexually explicit books in their high school libraries, which she classified as “pornography” for their graphic descriptions of sex acts between men and boys. The parent of a student in Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia read aloud sexually explicit material and shared graphic images featured in two books available in the district’s high school libraries at a school board meeting on Thursday. A video of her addressing the board, uploaded by the advocacy group Do Better FCPS, has received more than 300,000 views. Stacy Langton explained, “After seeing a September 9 school board meeting in Texas on pornography in the schools, I decided to check the titles at my child’s school, Fairfax High School.” Langton held up the two books singled out at the Texas school board meeting that are also available in several public high schools in Fairfax County. She said that “both of these books include pedophilia, [and] sex between men and boys.” “Both books describe different acts,” she added. “One book describes a fourth-grade boy performing oral sex on an adult male. The other book has detailed illustrations of a man having sex with a boy.” Langton added, “The illustrations include fellatio, sex toys, masturbation and violent nudity.” She read aloud from one of the books, Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe: “I can’t wait to have your c**k in my mouth. I am going to give you the b**w job of your life and then I want you inside me.” She then read an excerpt from the other book, titled Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison: “What if I told you I touched another guy’s d**k? What if I told you I sucked it? I was 10 years old but it’s true. I s**ked Doug Goble’s d**k, the real estate guy, and he s**ked mine too.” As Langton maintained that “this is not an oversight at Fairfax High School,” a school board member interrupted and told her that “there are children in the audience here.” In an article on Substack, Asra Normani, the vice president for strategy and investigations at the grassroots advocacy organization Parents Defending Education, who attended the meeting, disputed the assertion that children were present at the meeting. Langton, who didn’t appreciate the board member's interruption of her time to speak, added: “Do not interrupt my time. I will stand here until my time is restored and my time is finished. These books are in stock and available in the libraries of Robinson, Langley and Annandale High Schools.” A school board member then suggested that teenagers’ access to the books is OK because they’re only available “for high school students.” However, the majority of high school students are younger than 18, which is the age of consent in Virginia. Before her time was up, Langton replied to the board member’s assertion, saying, “Pornography is offensive to all people; it is offensive to common decency.” When Langton’s time came to a close, the school board attempted to introduce the next speaker as many in the crowd gave the mother a round of applause. Langton remained at the podium as parents expressed their anger at the school board by chanting, “Go to jail!” As a security official tried to escort her away from the podium, Langton alleged that “This board is in violation of the law of the state of Virginia called 18.2-376! This board should be charged accordingly!” The law cited by Langton is one of Virginia’s “Crimes Involving Morals and Decency.” It declares that “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly prepare, print, publish, or circulate, or cause to be prepared, printed, published or circulated, any notice or advertisement of any obscene performance or exhibition.” Another member of the audience remarked that “this is child pornography and every one of you all should be arrested for allowing this bullcrap to be perpetrated in our schools and infecting the minds of these children.” In response to the criticism, one member of the board, Karl Frisch, took to Twitter and implicitly defended the inclusion of the book in high school libraries: “It’s not every week the School Board receives two exorcisms during public comment. To be clear, nothing will disrupt our Board’s commitment to LGBTQIA+ students, families, and staff. Nothing.” Fairfax County Public Schools released a statement Friday announcing that “The circulation of these books has been suspended, while a committee reviews and makes recommendations about the text.” After outlining the process for the “Request for Reconsideration of Library or Instructional Material,” the statement indicated that two committees had been formed to determine whether to remove the books from the schools. “Each committee will include two teachers, two parents, one school-based administrator, one member of the Equity and Cultural Responsiveness team, and two high school students. Each year, we identify potential committee members by working with our schools and regions. The committee members will be randomly selected from the list, though we will ensure that the students selected are 18 years of age given the concerns.” The controversy is the latest example of school boards facing pushback over some of the material taught to children in public schools. In nearby Loudoun County, Virginia, parents read aloud similar literature their high school children were exposed to in a high school English class at a school board meeting this past spring. Earlier this month, Mayor Craig Shubert of Hudson, Ohio, called on the school board to resign or face criminal charges for allowing a book titled, 642 Things to Write About. The book features sexually explicit writing prompts intended for use in a college-level English class taught in the district’s high school. Like Langton and parents in Loudoun County, parents of students in the Hudson City School District read some of the sexually explicit writing prompts that children taking the class were asked to write about to the board. Prompts students were asked to write about included instructions to “explain a time when you wanted to orgasm but couldn’t” and “write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom.” Concerns about the kind of material children are exposed to in public schools have led to the foundation of several advocacy organizations, including Parents Defending Education and the 1776 Project PAC, which seeks to “get school board people in there who can actually start reversing it.” This list of the most commonly challenged books in the United States refers to books sought to be removed or otherwise restricted from public access, typically from a library or a school curriculum. This list is primarily based on U.S. data gathered by the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF), which gathers data from media reports, and from reports from librarians and teachers. As of 2020, the top ten reasons books were challenged and banned books included sexual content (92.5% percent of books on the list); offensive language (61.5%); unsuited to age group (49%); religious viewpoint (26%); LGBTQIA+ content (23.5%); violence (19%); racism (16.5%); drugs, alcohol, and smoking (12.5%); "anti-family" content (7%); and political viewpoint (6.5%). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_challenged_books_in_the_United_States#External_links List of books banned by governments Banned books are books or other printed works such as essays or plays which are prohibited by law or to which free access is not permitted by other means. The practice of banning books is a form of censorship, from political, legal, religious, moral, or (less often) commercial motives. This article lists notable banned books and works, giving a brief context for the reason that each book was prohibited. Banned books include fictional works such as novels, poems and plays and non-fiction works such as biographies and dictionaries. Since there are a large number of banned books, some publishers have sought out to publish these books. The best-known examples are the Parisian Obelisk Press, which published Henry Miller's sexually frank novel Tropic of Cancer, and Olympia Press, which published William Burroughs's Naked Lunch. Both of these, the work of father Jack Kahane and son Maurice Girodias, specialized in English-language books which were prohibited, at the time, in Great Britain and the United States. Ruedo ibérico [es], also located in Paris, specialized in books prohibited in Spain during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Russian literature prohibited during the Soviet period was published outside of Russia. In many territories, distribution, promotion, or certain translations of the Bible have historically been prohibited or impeded. See Censorship of the Bible. Many countries throughout the world have their own methods of restricting access to books, although the prohibitions vary strikingly from one country to another. Despite the opposition from the American Library Association (ALA), books continue to be banned by school and public libraries across the United States. This is usually the result of complaints from parents, who find particular books not appropriate for their children (e.g., books about sexual orientation such as And Tango Makes Three). In many libraries, including the British Library and the Library of Congress, erotic books are housed in separate collections in restricted access reading rooms. In some libraries, a special application may be needed to read certain books. Libraries sometimes avoid purchasing controversial books, and the personal opinions of librarians have at times affected book selection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments Here are the 100 most banned and challenged books of the decade Top 100 Most Banned and Challenged Books: 2010-2019”: 1. “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie 2. “Captain Underpants” (series) by Dav Pilkey 3. “Thirteen Reasons Why” by Jay Asher 4. “Looking for Alaska” by John Green 5. “George” by Alex Gino 6. “And Tango Makes Three” by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell 7. “Drama” by Raina Telgemeier 8. “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.

Tis a very long list indeed of hidden, banned, forbidden, censored, condemned, cursed, and even burned books. These writings of the banned, holy scriptures were once used by other versions or branches of Christianity that existed in antiquity before it became illegal for them to assemble in public, copy and, heaven forbid! circulate their alternative gospels within the boundaries of the Roman Empire. Though much has been forever lost, some of these books of the Other Bible have been rescued from destruction. We owe a great deal of gratitude to those freedom-loving and open-minded Jews, Pacomian monks, Christians and Gnostics in Eastern Europe, Egypt, Ethiopia, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Armenia who risked much to translate and thus preserve many of these Other Books for future generations, for all time to come. In the case of the fifty books of the Nag Hammadi library, there were Coptic parchments removed from a near-by monastery library in Upper Egypt and buried in a large clay storage jar not far from some caves near the Nile. This clay jar ended up being a kind of time capsule that was unearthed one thousand seven hundred years later. One definition of the word “apocryphal” is a holy book used in someone else’s version of Christianity — somebody else’s religion — somebody who went to a different church on Sunday…. or Saturday, or not at all, and yet are rejected by the big church. In a land where everyone is not free to follow the religion of their choice, one person’s treasure of inspiration is another’s kindling. If it’s banned, it must be good! or at least informative and of historic value. Banned Sayings of Jesus — He Made the List Too It may interest you to know that, on the list of forbidden scriptures is included, believe it or not, an impressive early collection of the sayings of Jesus known as the Gospel of Thomas, also the Books of Enoch the Prophet. Hey Jude! First Enoch, included amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls — the Essene Bible, and later the Ethiopian Bible, was quoted by Jude in his short New Testament letter. Actually, the Epistle of Barnabas and several major and well-known early church fathers also quoted Enoch, referring to it as “scripture”, once upon a time in what was apparently a somewhat different Christianity back then. Having Enoch included as one’s “scripture” would have made for a radically different religion, much more in touch with it’s Essene Jewish roots. Jude also quoted, back in those free-wheeling grass roots days before the age of book-banning, another scripture eventually forbidden called, The Assumption of Moses. John the Revelator It’s interesting to see that the Book of Revelation was banned for awhile. Fascinating to witness! The Book of Revelation by “John” eventually, after years of haggling amongst various factions, ended up as the last book of the “Constintinian” or Orthodox New Testament of the Empire. It has been the focus of so many prophecy speculators, prophecy mongers and cult-abusers over the centuries. Several other books that are now in Catholic Bibles were once banned — books of “The Apocrypha”. Those were and are part of the Greek Septuagint of Alexandria, literally the Old Testament of the early church (including the book of Judith, other women, also Tobit books of Maccabees, and some very important books of Wisdom). The original King James Version of the Bible in English published in 1611 contained those other books, but now they have largely disappeared in the Protestant world. Of course! as you might have guessed, the writings attributed to Mary Magdalene made the list, as well as that of another women apostle/leader in early Christianity: Thecla. The Odes of Love And the Odes of Solomon was condemned as well. That’s one of my personal favorites. It’s a very beautiful, devotional (bhakti), Sufi-like, eloquent, soul-stirring and very deeply spiritual collection of new testament age psalms. Imagine if you will psalms that sound like they were composed by Rumi. That may give you some idea of what the Book of the Odes is like. I’m glad I am able to own a copy — I have six translations of the Odes. Wisdom Rejected Even the Sentences of Sextus made the banned list. I really like that one a lot. It’s a wonderful collection of proverbs, very valuable. Parts of it were unearthed amongst the Nag Hammadi library discovery in Upper Egypt a few decades back. I have many of the books on this list, especially the Gnostic ones, and some of them represent great literature, the “sutras” and “upanishads” of the Western world, banned by the “Tali-ban” of their day, hardline rulers (archons) devoid of any notion of religious freedom for anyone other than themselves. Note the official-but-not-so-spiritual-sounding shunning ceremony or “hex-curse” at the beginning of the first banned list: “…convened by the emperor Constantius, the son of Constantine, through the prefect Taurus is damned from then and now and for ever…”, then comes a VERY long list of books to be excommunicated. Meet the Banned — The So-called Decretum Gelasianum Here is the official list of all the banned scriptures of Christianity according to the Synod at Ariminum, which was convened by the Emperor Constantius, the son of Constantine, along with other long lists of banned books. The following lists of banned scripture is from the book, New Testament Apocrypha, Volume one, Edgar Hennecke, Wilhelm Schneemelcher, and R. McL. Wilson, The Westminster Press. “In the so-called Decretum Gelasianum de libris recipiendis et non recipiendis, which upon the whole is probably of South Gallic origin (6th century) but which in several parts can be traced back to Pope Damasus and reflects Roman tradition, we have in the second part a canon catalogue, in the fourth part an enumeration of recognized and ecclesiastical writers, and in the fifth part a catalogue of the ‘apocrypha’ and other writings which are to be rejected…. “The remaining writings which have been compiled or been recognized by heretics or schismatics the catholic and apostolic Roman church does not in any way receive; of these we have thought it right to cite below some which have been handed down and which are to be avoided by catholics [christians universally or orthodox].” “Further Enumeration of Apocryphal Books…. In the first place we confess that the Synod at Ariminum which was convened by the Emperor Constantius, the son of Constantine, through the prefect Taurus is damned from then and now and for ever: “Itinerary (book of travels) under the name of the apostle Peter, which is called The Nine Books of the holy Clement apocryphal Acts under the name of the apostle Andrew apocryphal Acts under the name of the apostle Thomas apocryphal Acts under the name of the apostle Peter apocryphal Acts under the name of the apostle Philip apocryphal Gospel under the name of Matthias apocryphal Gospel under the name of Barnabas apocryphal Gospel under the name of James the younger apocryphal Gospel under the name of the apostle Peter apocryphal Gospel under the name of Thomas, which the Manichaeans use apocryphal Gospels under the name of Bartholomaeus apocryphal Gospels under the name of Andrew apocryphal Gospels which Lucian has forged apocryphal Gospels which Hesychius has forged apocryphal Book about the childhood of the Redeemer apocryphal Book about the birth of the Redeemer and about Mary or the midwife apocryphal Book which is called by the name of the Shepherd apocryphal All books which Leucius, the Book which is called The Foundation apocryphal Book which is called The Treasure apocryphal Book about the daughters of Adam: Leptogenesis(?) apocryphal Cento about Christ, put together in Virgilian lines apocryphal Book which is called The Acts of Thecla and of Paul apocryphal Book which is ascribed to Nepos apocryphal Books of the Sayings, compiled by heretics and denoted by the name of Sextus apocryphal Revelation which is ascribed to Paul apocryphal Revelation which is ascribed to Thomas apocryphal Revelation which is ascribed to Stephen apocryphal Book which is called The Home-going of the holy Mary apocryphal Book which is called The Penitence of Adam apocryphal Book about the giant Ogias, of whom the heretics assert that after the flood he fought with the dragon apocryphal Book which is called The Testament of Job apocryphal Book which is called The Penitence of Origen apocryphal Book which is called The Penitence of the holy Cyprian apocryphal Book which is called The Penitence of Jamnes and Mambres apocryphal Book which is called The Portion of the Apostles apocryphal Book which is called The Grave-plate(?) of the Apostles apocryphal Book which is called The Canones of the Apostles apocryphal The book Physiologus, compiled by heretics and called by the name of the blessed Ambrose apocryphal The History of Eusebius Pamphili apocryphal Works of Tertullian apocryphal Works of Lactantius apocryphal (later addition: or of Firmianus or of the Mrican) Works of Postumianus and of Gallus apocryphal Works of Montanus, of Priscilla and of Maximilla apocryphal Works of Faustus the Manichaean apocryphal Works of Commodianus apocryphal Works of the other Clement, of Alexandria apocryphal Works of Thascius Cyprian apocryphal Works of Arnobius apocryphal Works of Tichonius apocryphal Works of Cassian, a presbyter in Gaul apocryphal Works of Victorinus of Pettau apocryphal Works of Faustus of Riez in Gaul apocryphal Works of Frumentius Caecus apocryphal Epistle of Jesus to Abgar apocryphal Epistle of Abgar to Jesus apocryphal Passion (Martyr Acts) of Cyricus and of Iulitta apocryphal Passion of Georgius apocryphal Writing which is called Interdiction (Exorcism?) of Solomon apocryphal All amulets which have been compiled not, as those persons feign, in the name of the angels, but rather in that of the demons apocryphal “These and the like, what Simon Magus, Nicolaus, Cerinthus, Marcion, Basilides, Ebion, Paul of Samosata, Photinus and Bonosus, who suffered from similar error, also Montanus with his detestable followers, Apollinaris, Valentinus the Manichaean, Faustus the Mrican, Sabellius, Arius, Macedonius, Eunomius, Novatus, Sabbatius, Calistus, Donatus, Eustatius, Iovianus, Pelagius, Iulianus of Eclanum, Caelestius, Maximian, Priscillian from Spain, Nestorius of Constantinople, Maximus the Cynic, Lampetius, Dioscorus, Eutyches, Peter and the other Peter, of whom the one besmirched Alexandria and the other Antioch, Acacius of Constantinople with his associates, and what also all disciples of heresy and of the heretics or schismatics, whose names we have scarcely preserved, have taught or compiled, we acknowledge is to be not merely rejected but excluded from the whole Roman catholic and apostolic Church and with its authors and the adherents of its authors to be damned in the inextricable shackles of anathema for ever.” Other Lists of Banned Holy Books Used By Other Indigenous Expressions of Judaism and Early or Apostolic Christianity “The Stichometry of Nicephorus In the prolix version of the Chronography of Nicephorus (patriarch of Constantinople 806–818; cf. Krumbacher, Gesch. d. Byz. Literatur, 2nd ed. (1897), pp. 349ff.) there is a canon catalogue, the origin of which indeed has not been clearly settled, but which ought perhaps to be located in Jerusalem. Whether it is older than c. 850 (so Jtilicher) remains’ open to question. It is striking that in the enumeration of the NT books the Revelation of John is wanting. Here then a canon of twenty-six books still presents itself. The catalogue of the books of the Old and New Testaments is followed by that of the ‘antilegomena’ and of the ‘apocrypha’: “And the (writings) of the Old Testament which are gainsaid and are not recognized in the Church (canonized) are the following: I. 3 Books of the Maccabes 7300 lines 2. The Wisdom of Solomon 1100 lines 3. The Wisdom of Jesus Sirach 2800 lines 4. The Psalms and Odes of Solomon 2100 lines 5. Esther 350 lines 6. Judith 1700 lines 7. Susanna 500 lines 8. Tobith, also (called) Tobias 700 lines “And of the New Testament (writings) the following are gainsaid: 1. The Revelation of John 1400 lines 2. The Revelation of Peter 300 lines 3. The Epistle of Barnabas 1360 lines 4. The Gospel of the Hebrews 2200 lines “Apocrypha of the Old Testament are the following: 1. Enoch 4800 lines 2. (Testaments of the) Patriarchs 5100 lines 3. The Prayer of Joseph 1100 lines 4. The Testament of Moses 1100 lines 5. The Assumption of Moses 1400 lines 6. Abraham 300 lines 7. Eldad and Modad 400 lines 8. (Book of the) prophet Elias 3 I 6 lines 9. (Book of the) prophet Zephaniah 600 lines 10. (Book of) Zacharias, the father of John 500 lines 11 Pseudepigrapha of Baruch, Habakkuk, Ezekiel and Daniel ~ “Apocrypha of the New Testament are the following: 1. The Circuit of Paul 3600 lines 2. The Circuit of Peter 2750 lines 3. The Circuit of John 2500 lines 4. The Circuit of Thomas 1600 lines 5. The Gospel of Thomas 1300 lines 6. The Teaching (Didache) of the Apostles 200 lines 7. The 32 (books) of Clement 2600 lines 8. (Writings) of Ignatius, of Polycarp and of Hermas… Catalogue of the 60 Canonical Books “This list transmitted in several manuscripts (for information about these see Zahn, Gesch. d. ntl. Kanons II 1, pp. 28g£) reflects the view, widely held in the Greek Church at a later time, of the canon of sixty books (34 OT and 26 NT, therefore without the Revelation of John). After the enumeration of the canonical books, in which the complete silence observed regarding the Apocalypse of John is the most serious matter, there follows that of the writings ‘outside the 60' and the ‘apocrypha’. Yes, picture books get challenged too! These kids' books (listed in no particular order) have been challenged (and in some cases, banned) for a variety of reasons. There are lots of reasons that books can be challenged or event banned. Often the reasons are political, legal, religious or moral. Sometimes books are challenged when a person reads only a small portion or relies on reviews they have read or heard to determine suitability. Public libraries usually follow intellectual freedom policies that guide their decisions when a member of the public challenges a book or other item. Intellectual freedom means that each person has the right to decide what they want to read, watch, or listen to (within the limits of the law). If a person objects to a book, they are free not to read it, but they do not have the right to prevent others from reading it. Parents and guardians can choose what their children read, watch or listen to, but cannot make that decision for other children. Most libraries have a form to fill out to voice concerns about specific items, and sometimes actions will be taken like moving a book from the children's to the teen section or (more rarely) removing it from the library (for instance, if it contains outdated information). Often books that present a different viewpoint or a new situation are an excellent opportunity for parents to have a discussion with their children. Public libraries have a mandate to provide a variety of materials from a variety of points of view to their customers, but other libraries have different mandates. For instance, a school library must support curriculum.
