No no no, I’m just starting to enjoy some of my new labels ;)
My favorite part at the Stockholm ExitWHO demonstration was when Meryl borrowed a tinfoil hat from a participant and said that if you didn’t already have one it was time to get one.
We’ve been indoctrinated to think as such. History taught in school merely brushes and at times lies about the reality. Moving away from that requires time to educate yourself. Thought I was a liberal Dem and voted Dem until the last election. There are some blantantly obvious concerns on both sides. I have family and friends whom are gay and trans. I love them. I would never want to see harm cone to them, especially not for feeling they are being true to themselves. I am pro choice, I am pro religion as long as it doesn’t teach hate, intolerance and violence. I am for commons sense 100%. We’re so busy catering today instead of addressing real issues. Nothing ever gets resolved. It’s a constant push and fight. Just my perspective. Sorry to rant✌🏻
The earliest stage of any unique mammal is the fertilized egg, called a zygote by biologists and geneticists. A zygote has the same genome as the fetus, and the fetus the same as a newborn baby, and the newborn baby as an adult. If the value of each human being is equal, the so are the stages of each individual, making abortion into murder before birth.
Thanks you, VVV, as a rescuer of abused dogs. There is nothing wrong in walking dogs instead of children -- why don't some of those many, many parents find more time for their children and take them for walks? answer: because it means having to put their damnable idiotphones down -- having dogs instead of children, etc. And I am a mammal as other mammals, I do not subscribe to any nonsense that humans are somehow special, an incredibly offensive religious superstition. If you're so small that you have to believe your DNA makes you special, I pity you. [rhetorical you]
I am a human being, a unique creation, distinct from animals.
Science can be just opinion, dictated by beliefs, not grounded in scientific facts. Humans may share some physical traits with animals. Otherwise, they are totally distinct and unique physical, mental, moral and spiritual beings, made in the image of their Creator.
I am not classified or defined by scientific, or non-scientific opinion.
Facts cannot merge with opinion, to try to make us believe we are, what others think they are.
Do people really know who they are? Or do they just think they are, who they have been indoctrinated to believe they are?
Okay, so what you are telling us is that you are getting your "science" info from a 19th c. occultist, clairvoyant literary critic. No science in there at all, not even a molecule. Got it.
Humans are primates and primates are mammals like any other, bearing their children live.
I think you mean anthropomorphizing when you write humanification, which has always been done in cartoons. Dogs are almost totally immune to the indoctrination which begins with using televisions to babysit children and returns to supplement and reinforce that which is delivered in the public fool system.
I was able to determine that my wife was interested in having a butler for life and she left after I gave her a choice between doing so and living with the cockroaches that she was on the way to infesting the mobile home with as she had the house we'd bought together.
The best part of our divorce was its occurrence before she could get pregnant.
Our creator gave us animals as companions and food sources, and given the choice, I'd take a burger over any pet I've ever had.
I understand and respect your view. I can’t say why some feel they aren’t the sex they’re born as. I don’t have answers. That doesn’t make me love them those in my life less. I can’t explain their feelings. It’s there and they feel it. Sometimes I’m confused by it all. I am a heterosexual female and always will be. I am also 100% against the push and indoctrination on our children that we’re seeing today! Nope, not right. If at adults they feel they aren’t the person they’re supposed to be, well they cope with that and its repercussions. I am pro choice for the mere fact that I understand that there are times when an abortion is necessary: rape, molestation and the likes. My sister was raped. She would have loved with the constant reminder of that pain. I feel making one carry that child is cruel, selfish because of our own beliefs and then the child becomes part of the messed up adoption system where they become a statistic. I also feel that god wouldn’t want us to hate, belittle and abandon those that may be lost in their path. In the end we will all pay dues to the lord.
It is called gender dysphoria because that is what it is.
I don't hate those who suffer from any mental illness unless they try to spread it instead of being cured of it.
Spreading a mental illness is like spreading a pathogenic disease.
Whee a mental illness gets turned into a fad or a choice, it become an epidemic.
We don't need more political correctness. We need more epidemiology.
Killing an innocent bystander of a crime makes it a conspiracy.
I have never heard of an armed woman being raped.
Most rapes and molestations are never reported to the police because it frequently constitutes another crime, in effect.
If our laws made it as easy to adopt as it was to abort, more innocent babies would be adopted instead of murdered, and the frequently well-off that want to adopt could spend their money supporting the mother of the baby medically and economically instead of adoption lawyers.
Agreed that fads have consequences. Very true, adopting is a difficult hard process. You’re right. Many would welcome these children a home however I see in our local news station the vast number of kids aging out of the system looking for homes at 16-18 yrs of age. 😔
Dave Thomas (of Wendy's) Foundation for Adoption was launched because he was adopted and wanted to solve the problem of teenagers ageing out of foster homes.
The vast amount that are abused and subjected to the horrors of the system. I mean no disrespect but you can’t say that most of them won’t have tears if therapy ahead of them. The feeling of being tossed aside by their parents doesn’t sit well with most. I wish you and your babirs all the best. They now have a loving family. So many don’t get that. You know it, that’s why you adopted right? The system is broken.
We need to affirm human,legal, and civil rights for all people. However, we must not be brow-beaten into accepting the fantasy that males can become females or vice versa! Sex of a person is a biological fact: sperm or eggs. Gender identity is a matter for psychology. Getting them confused is a psyop, orchestrated by guess WHO?
Agreed! I see the trend. Who is pushing it. I also see a disturbing trend of “influencers” on social media literally pushing their children to make la decision on who they are at X age. That is disgusting to me.
The CIA was very interested many decades ago in the work of Foucault who was a pedophile and thought it was okay. All the grooming going on today directed toward children is to make children think that it is okay for adults to molest and rape them. Practically every day some quackademic institution comes out with a paper supporting pedophilia as normal.
Classic liberalism has never changed since before the founders of the republic regarded themselves as such. A contemporary liberal is nothing like a classic one. You might be interested in taking the World's Smallest Political Quiz and seeing where your position is on the Diamond Chart. FWIW, I score 100/100 and I'm at the top of the chart.
Absolutely right on. A few of my Sane friends and I were discussing this last night, talking about the madness of our so-called “leftist”former friends.
I'm still that old kind of principled-lefty, but now I'm seen as a far-right-white-male-cisgender-extremist with a little pony-tail, riding a bicycle places and growing vegetable gardens.
us old school principled-lefties recognize each other and appreciate that WE have not changed but instead the perceptions of others have changed, as dictated by the puppet masters and their pet media whores. they can stick their labels where the sun don't shine, Dr Day! wear that pony-tail proudly.
part of you is still 'waving the freak flag', come on, admit it, LOL. I know I am. (you're such a sweetheart, Dr Day. knew it the minute I saw you with Dr Nass on CHD. I so admire the grace with which you handled the scumbags that tossed you out of your hospital practice.)
Agree. However, the tentacles of power have infiltrated our lives so extensively, that it seems to be very difficult, if not impossible, to break free. I struggle to get the kingdom of self in order. Hopefully I can eventually build an impregnable castle, with a high stone wall and a moat, to keep the state out! There is always hope.
The two main political parties are unrecognizable.....I woke up but it took time. The people we chose to govern us are corrupt. I hope I would do better.
A Response To 'The Left Needs To Find Itself, by David Bell and posted on Meryl's Covid Newsletter
Here's the problem that the folks on the left don't seem to understand about those of use on the right. We see, with proof, that the first list leads directly to the excesses of the second list and that the first list is filled with cliche and governmental solutions to emotional problems. The left has been conducting a 'War on Poverty' since Lydon Johnson and it has been as great a failure as the 'War on Drugs'.
One simply cannot legislate morality. And the big social issues championed by the left in the form of BLM and DEI are offensive to the fundamental precepts of our Constitution and our Faith. For Example, the notion of reparations based on skin color is patently absurd for those of us who understand the Civil War, the 13th & 14 th Amendments and the Civil Rights Act which have all been abused by the left. DEI, requires by law that we accept transgenderism as a real thing. BUT accepting transgenderism demands that we reject God. That will never happen.
Those are just two of issues championed by the left that will never be reconciled with our Constitution and our faith. While we don't demand that people all "go to church", though it would be good for all of us, it is reasonable to demand that everyone learn about how a republic works and what makes our Constitution so unique and has lead to unparalleled individual wealth and freedom both of which are being eroded by policies from the left.
You are so sweet about it. Put it another way, the left has been hijacked by corporate greed. The corporate grab was planned and executed professionally and it's ultimate goal is not good for the causes that you treasure Meryl, and as most correctly thinking people as well treasure. This is a war and luckily at the moment it is just words. I pray the right words will come out and put those billionaires in their place. It may go beyond words as Margaret Thatcher once said: "You can vote in socialism but you have to shoot your way out".
It’s telling that Ibrum X Kendi is a ‘young global leader’ at the WEF. This is how the left has gone off the rails. They are being bought off and elevated, causes funded invited to partake in WHO brainstorming sessions which all insert the latest buzz words and cliques to help them feel their cause is being heard/taken seriously. They are able to feel they are holding some values while climbing the ladder to wealth and privilege. It’s easy to buy off a movement. In truth the billionaires are in charge. They are just buttering up the lessor beings to rally for the billionaire cause. ‘You will own nothing and be happy’
Davis Bell wrote a good article that I can agree with, with one exception. He uses the words "democracy and equality" as if they are somehow related. Sadly, truthfully, those two words are not related in meaning unless he bought into the Leftist MSM narrative lies.
If the truth be known, democracy is rule by the majority with no minority rights. In the 1929 edition of the US Army's Soldier's Manual, democracy was described as "mobocracy" or just a form of "mob rule."
The only government that values "minority rights" is a "republic". That is the form of government envisioned by the Founding Fathers and that vision is stated in the Constitution, Article IV, Section 4.
If you do not have a copy of the Constitution handy, merely recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag to learn that this country was set up to be a republic. However, has been hijacked by, interesting enough, the leftist MSM who are paid prostitutes to those who want to be in complete control. Much like the WHO wants complete control!
I live in Southwest Maine and I'm around your age Dr. Nass. I've really enjoyed your analysis and tenacious attitude with this ridiculous board of boobs you're dealing with. The murder of JFK and his brother Bobby had an incredible effect on my whole family and especially me. We were all Democrats but quite conservative. I knew by the age of 12 that I was a traditional conservative and that has never changed, yet I agree with most of your positions and find them to be what we used to call, classic liberal. There was always room for negotiation between the two positions but no more. That's not because you changed. And it's certainly not because I have changed. It's simply because the damned global banksters know that the Ponzi scheme AKA the swift system they created has run it's course and they have bilked it for all its worth and they see challenges coming. Therefore as always, it's time for chaos and war to open the door for their next realm of control, or so they think. However, they have gone so far over the top this time that I truly believe humanity has a golden opportunity to finally get rid of them and set itself free for the very first time. They are afraid Dr. Nass and they should be. A few thousand of these Psychopaths have awakened a couple billion and climbing.
All that talk of the existential threat to democracy overloaded people emotionally, blocking their ability to think rationally. Then the public was manipulated by the tremendous media campaign to instill Covid fear. Together, these made people compliant to the Government message of Obey! That's what got Progressives to flip their positions and come to support mandates, censorship and foreign wars.
These are universally accepted and reasonable ideals among many on the right and left. The issue is their application.
As was quipped by Milton Friedman:
If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years, there’d be a shortage of sand.
Our Constitutional Founders tried their best to make a Republic more workable (because they have consistently failed); they thought they found every check and balance necessary to keep a Republic from becoming abusive.
As an example, the following sounds excellent.
Constitutional democracy, where governments exist on the will of the people, and inviolable rules protect minorities.
And...
A publicly funded health system that ensures reasonably equal access to good basic care.
The founders failed to address the Congress member's terms; they did for the office of President but neglected the House and Senate members, allowing them to use the institution as a geriatric ward.
Because of this error, we have a dysfunctional government and a small group of people selfishly causing most of our problems. Our own government is the problem. And only a reboot of the system will fix it. If the majority of citizens could come to understand this one simple problem we could go a long way to becoming a better country.
Mr. Bell is all over the political map, from libertarian to socialist with this feel-good mumbo jumbo. Who should have to pay for my children's "free" education? Who should have to pay for my "publicly funded" health care, and decide (mandate) what constitutes "good" basic health care? Who gets to decide whether or not I'm earning "too much" money?
It has been proven in many countries and times that pooling tax revenues to pay for free medical treatment for the public is overall the cheapest for everyone. You will always have supplementary and elite services for the rich, and those should not be outlawed because they drive progress. The problems come when services that are either not cost-effective (and low probability of success) or not medically necessary (for example gender changes and unsafe ineffective genetic therapy against non-pandemics) are included, and of course over time there is corruption in any large bureaucracy. Just like government, eternal vigilance is required to keep it accountable and effective.
People need to fall out of love with labels. There’s team humanity & there’s globalists.
No no no, I’m just starting to enjoy some of my new labels ;)
My favorite part at the Stockholm ExitWHO demonstration was when Meryl borrowed a tinfoil hat from a participant and said that if you didn’t already have one it was time to get one.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great evaluation, sustinct and so true.
I agree. But these grifters know what they’re doing. Eliminate the enablers as the precursor to eliminating the globalists...
Conservatives think I'm a liberal.
Liberals think I'm a conservative.
I think both are socialists because they both believe in socialistic financing of government.
As a libertarian, I think they are both pretty ignorant for having abandoned the political philosophy of the founders, classic liberalism.
We’ve been indoctrinated to think as such. History taught in school merely brushes and at times lies about the reality. Moving away from that requires time to educate yourself.

Dr. Anthony Levatino explains this more clearly than anyone else has at youtube.com/watch?v=kHNzoZ4oheU
Thank you for the link. Very helpful insight for me.
I am a unique human being. Not a mammal like other animals.
The humanification of animals is a tragedy, arising from the poison of atheism and evolutionary theory, in my opinion.
I see the fallout everywhere, and it grieves me greatly.
People walking dogs instead of taking children for a walk.
Dogs in homes taking the place of children.
Massive expenditure on animals, rather than children or grandchildren, or needy children.
Heartbreaking.
Bumper sticker: I Heart my granddogs.
Oh NO!
I am horrified.
Cannot say thank you for sharing.
Hopefully thank you for caring.

You aren't a mammal? Are you a bird then? A reptile? Good grief.
No, a vegetable.

I may be a mammal by scientific definition.
I am not an animal.

The answer...be nothing, attached to nothing and live free of thought indoctrination. None of these clowns are worth the effort.
It depends on what you consider to be thought indoctrination, which is endemic to critical thinking.
I, as well, get the same labels from the same folks. It is too bad the original definition of liberalism has been abandoned.
Classic liberalism has never changed since before the founders of the republic regarded themselves as such. A contemporary liberal is nothing like a classic one. You might be interested in taking the World's Smallest Political Quiz and seeing where your position is on the Diamond Chart. FWIW, I score 100/100 and I'm at the top of the chart.
Thanks. I 'scored' as a Libertarian, although I consider myself a conservative.
Libertarians support both personal and economic freedom, as can be seen on the Diamond Chart.
"I don't think it means what you think it means" seems to apply almost universally in American politics these days.

Murray Bookchin's "Libertarian Municipalism" is sort of like participatory Greek Democracy.

Absolutely right on. A few of my Sane friends and I were discussing this last night, talking about the madness of our so-called “leftist”former friends.
“What happened to them?” (We keep asking ourselves that...)
I'm working on an essay about that!
I look forward to reading it!
I'm still that old kind of principled-lefty, but now I'm seen as a far-right-white-male-cisgender-extremist with a little pony-tail, riding a bicycle places and growing vegetable gardens.

I'll wear it out of habit.
:-)
part of you is still 'waving the freak flag', come on, admit it, LOL. I know I am. (you're such a sweetheart, Dr Day. knew it the minute I saw you with Dr Nass on CHD. I so admire the grace with which you handled the scumbags that tossed you out of your hospital practice.)
Thank You, Warrior Mom.
I seek to show my best side, but I am sometimes cross and crotchety, and picky, too.
;-/
as far as I'm concern, we have EARNED the right to be crotchety. ;)
To me it's simple.
You either believe in the state micromanaging your life or you don't.
Agree. However, the tentacles of power have infiltrated our lives so extensively, that it seems to be very difficult, if not impossible, to break free. I struggle to get the kingdom of self in order. Hopefully I can eventually build an impregnable castle, with a high stone wall and a moat, to keep the state out! There is always hope.
The "Left" needs to lose itself and find God, this side of judgement. So does the "Right".
And the middle!
Right politics is not the path to peace.
Right morals is.
Democracy - rule of man - a predictable mess.
Theocracy - rule of the One - better option.
Middle? I wouldn't know about that. I think it cleared out. But when men cook up their own "theocracies", look out!
I think Iran is the only nation that claims to be a theocratic state. No comment.
The theocratic state, is probably one that adheres to the basic moral code of the ten commandments. Not sure if there is one of those anymore.
Russia surprisingly, overtly advocates, a return to basic moral values.
However, covertly Russia obviously still has significant moral issues.
Ever heard of Israel?
Israel does not claim to be a theocratic state.
She claims to be a modern secular, democracy.
The government appears to be secular and corrupt.
Orthodox Jews deny the Messiah, which means if they are wrong, that they are in opposition to the One, and therefore not a theocracy.
Israel has departed from the 10 commandments, overtly and covertly.
Nonetheless, Israel may still be the most moral nation on earth by far, with respect to generally keeping the 10 commandments.
They seem to be massively ignoring the ones that against killing and stealing.
The two main political parties are unrecognizable.....I woke up but it took time. The people we chose to govern us are corrupt. I hope I would do better.

Therefore as always, it's time for chaos and war to open the door for their next realm of control, or so they think. However, they have gone so far over the top this time that I truly believe humanity has a golden opportunity to finally get rid of them and set itself free for the very first time. They are afraid Dr. Nass and they should be. A few thousand of these Psychopaths have awakened a couple billion and climbing.
Really appreciate this essay. I think a lot of people caught TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) & have not recovered.
All that talk of the existential threat to democracy overloaded people emotionally, blocking their ability to think rationally. Then the public was manipulated by the tremendous media campaign to instill Covid fear. Together, these made people compliant to the Government message of Obey! That's what got Progressives to flip their positions and come to support mandates, censorship and foreign wars.
These are universally accepted and reasonable ideals among many on the right and left. The issue is their application.
As was quipped by Milton Friedman:
If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years, there’d be a shortage of sand.
Our Constitutional Founders tried their best to make a Republic more workable (because they have consistently failed); they thought they found every check and balance necessary to keep a Republic from becoming abusive.
As an example, the following sounds excellent.
Constitutional democracy, where governments exist on the will of the people, and inviolable rules protect minorities.
And...
A publicly funded health system that ensures reasonably equal access to good basic care.
The founders failed to address the Congress member's terms; they did for the office of President but neglected the House and Senate members, allowing them to use the institution as a geriatric ward.
Because of this error, we have a dysfunctional government and a small group of people selfishly causing most of our problems. Our own government is the problem. And only a reboot of the system will fix it. If the majority of citizens could come to understand this one simple problem we could go a long way to becoming a better country.
Mr. Bell is all over the political map, from libertarian to socialist with this feel-good mumbo jumbo. Who should have to pay for my children's "free" education? Who should have to pay for my "publicly funded" health care, and decide (mandate) what constitutes "good" basic health care? Who gets to decide whether or not I'm earning "too much" money?
Take the time to look around,
And check for Nazis in your town.
Then go home and check yourself....

It has been proven in many countries and times that pooling tax revenues to pay for free medical treatment for the public is overall the cheapest for everyone. You will always have supplementary and elite services for the rich, and those should not be outlawed because they drive progress. The problems come when services that are either not cost-effective (and low probability of success) or not medically necessary (for example gender changes and unsafe ineffective genetic therapy against non-pandemics) are included, and of course over time there is corruption in any large bureaucracy. Just like government, eternal vigilance is required to keep it accountable and effective.
