Emma Lyashchuk

24 // by grace, through faith

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

VINDICATED! 🙌

🌩️ Florida Makes History Banning Weather Modification on the State, passing Bill HB477 with Unanimous 17-0 Vote!

“I’m not here to make you believe Chemtrails exist…” but it does, and they’ve been spraying harmful chemicals and heavy metals on us, our food, our crops, and it causes major health issues.

🔴 Details about the bill:

• The bill bans "the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight."
— This means any deliberate attempt to influence weather patterns—such as temperature changes, precipitation, or sunlight intensity—is outlawed.

• ENDS Cloud Seeding:
— Cloud seeding, a weather modification technique that involves dispersing substances like silver iodide into clouds to encourage rainfall or snow, is effectively prohibited under this legislation.

• The bill eliminates multiple provisions of Florida’s prior weather modification laws, which previously allowed for regulated activities like cloud seeding under state-issued licenses.

• Penalties for Violations:
— Violators face increased civil penalties, with fines up to $10,000 per offense, signaling a strong deterrent against any weather-related experimentation or intervention in the state’s atmosphere.

🔴 WHAT’S NEXT?

• The bill must still pass the House and Senate, and then be signed by the governor to become law.

If signed into law, HB 477 takes effect on July 1, 2025!

🚨URGENT: PAUL AND CHRISTY AKEO BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN MEXICO🚨

STATEMENT from their daughter:

On March 4th, 2025, my stepdad and mom, Paul and Christy Akeo were imprisoned in Cancun, Mexico and are now being held without bail in a maximum-security Mexican prison. The last 21 days of being held captive is a direct result of my parents simply challenging wrongful credit card charges made by The Palace Company, aka Palace Resorts with American Express. American Express sided with my mom and Paul as a response to these wrongful charges. The last 21 days of torture my parents have been through is a direct response of The Palace Company’s corruption, extortion, retaliation and blackmail against our parents.

The Palace Company is demanding $250,000, the signing of an NDA that does not even guarantee their release, as well as a Facebook post made by our parents to be left up for 1 week claiming all responsibility and fault for the torture they have endured throughout the last 3 weeks. If that’s not enough, they also demanded a public apology from my mom and Paul to be made to The Palace Company. Absolutely sickening.

Despite what the completely false news articles posted in Mexico say, aiming to defame and slander our parents, we have all proof necessary to show these articles are written off of lies. With no mention of Palace Resorts at all in any article.

My mom and Paul are being denied medical attention, denied proper communication and publicly defamed. They have been held captive in prison for 21 days and despite asking numerous times to speak to Paul, we have yet to have ANY communication with him. My mom has lost 25 lbs. in 20 days due to inability to eat as the prison is serving her food they are aware she is allergic to. She also has a severe rash all over her body they refuse to treat. These are all concerns that have been brought up numerous times to the US Consulate over the last 3 weeks, yet they failed to have any sort of visit with my parents until 17 DAYS into their imprisonment. In other words, the US Consulate and the US Embassy have been nothing short of useless.

We have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars towards Mexican legal representation, but unfortunately that only goes so far when dealing with this level of corruption and extortion. We have also met prior demands given to us by The Palace Company and yet they have had no serious response to letting our parents free.

This includes forcing my brother and I to remove a private Facebook Group of 8,000 members who came together as a community to share grievances and receive advice on how to deal with the strong hold tactics and manipulation that Palace Resorts enforces. By forcing us to remove this group, which we did not own or create, they silenced thousands of Palace Resorts members who were simply sharing their truth of how awful and actually harmful it is to be a Palace Resort Member.

We have contacted numerous local and national government representation including but not limited to:
· US Embassy & US Consulate
· FBI, US Department of State & US Senate
· Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Office
· US Senator Gary Peters & Senator Elissa Slotkin
· Michigan State Police
· NBC News & FOX News

‼️Please let it be known - Paul is a US Navy Chief Petty Officer and served our country for 21 years. The lack of action from our own government officials to help an innocent veteran who proudly served our country is UNACCEPTABLE‼️

PLEASE help us SPREAD THE WORD—SHARE THIS POST, TAG MEDIA OUTLETS AND TAG OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND REPRESENTATIVES!

If you know our parents at all, you know they are undeserving of this. My family is asking for EVERYONE to step in and PLEASE….HELP US GET THEM HOME.

Female administrators barricaded girls in a locker room after they expressed their discomfort with undressing in front of a boy. She literally stood guard in front of the door so they couldn't leave.

This is sexual abuse and exploitation of minors. Ahem, @FBI...

[Audra Worlow 🇺🇸 @audrawrongspeak]

These school administrators marched the girls into the locker room and stood there to make sure that they undressed.

The school didn’t just say “you’ll lose PE credit if you don’t change”

They literally marched the girls into the locker room.

Who do these women think they are?

This International Women's Day, we stand with the women of Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, & other countries where women:
- are denied education and literacy
- are forced into marriage as young as 9 yrs old
- cannot show their skin/hair/face in public
- cannot speak to unrelated men
- are deprived of fundamental human rights

I'm sickened at the weak international response and silence from 'feminist' groups as women are left with fewer rights than dogs in many middle eastern countries. At least dogs can bark.

Sharia law is evil and the Taliban needs to be eradicated.

The fact that Fauci's pardon specifically and explicitly addresses his Covid-related offenses, while being backdated to 2014—the year the gain-of-function ban took effect, which Fauci circumvented by outsourcing experiments to China—speaks volumes as to what this is really about.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

The preemptive pardons... unprecedented? That's the new standard? Presidents can hire people to commit crimes with the promise of a preemptive pardon?

PAKISTAN: a woman was raped, and instead of arresting the rapist, the Sharia council decided that the rapist’s sister should be raped by the victim’s brother.

The innocent teenage girl was publicly raped in front of 40 people in a practice called ‘revenge rape’ in Sharia law.

This is the culture that brought the grooming gangs to the UK!
