@TrueTeller2024 Mine is back but severely depressed because of what they’ve done! And still very confused. Hold all schools accountable! Hold colleges accountable! Hold these frauds who claim to be Christians with rainbow flags accountable! @realDonaldTrump @HarmeetKDhillon @TuckerCarlson

[True Teller @TrueTeller2024]

I saw Trump’s speech saying that when a public school tells a child they’re trapped in the wrong body, it is child abuse. I agree 100%—but I would take it further.

It isn’t only telling a child their body is wrong. Affirming a child’s belief that something is wrong with their healthy body can also be deeply harmful. And it should not be applied only to public schools.

My daughter said her body was wrong while she was in high school. Her teachers and counselor affirmed that narrative. At college, her friends and professors continued to affirm it. Someone even suggested emancipation from her family. DCF got involved and they did agree that my child’s body was wrong. Eventually, she cut us off, started testosterone, and continued believing there was something wrong with her body.

She ultimately took her own life while still carrying that belief.

So now that we are calling the affirmation of a child’s belief that their body is wrong “child abuse,” I have a question:

Can the people who did this to my child be held accountable?

Because my child is dead—and I believe that this narrative played a devastating role in getting us there.

We must refer to people by their preferred pronouns, say the media. No, we must not. Pronouns carry information about sex, which is encoded in our DNA, and nothing can change that. Lying about a person's sex is a fundamental betrayal of journalism.

California dragged Shana Gaviola to prison for opposing the gender transition of her son.

When Gaviola discovered that her son's public school began secretly transitioning him, she pulled him out and made plans to send him to a Christian boarding school.

The Biden DOJ charged her with kidnapping and sought the harshest penalty possible. Gaviola is going to prison for three years.

Her son is now an adult and never transitioned. Gaviola's sentence starts next week.

Gaviola does not regret what she did and said :

“I would not be going to prison if I had done nothing. That’s the part I can’t accept -- the law was safe for the mother who looks away, and unforgiving to the one who didn’t.”

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

The Most Destructive Intellectual Project of the Twentieth Century.

The Frankfurt School. You should know what it was, what it built, and why you are still living inside it.

1. The Institute for Social Research was founded in Frankfurt in 1923 and relocated to Columbia University in 1934 when Hitler came to power. The civilization they had decided to dismantle gave them refuge when another tried to kill them. They spent the next five decades producing the theoretical infrastructure for that dismantling. Western civilization itself was the problem: reason, the Enlightenment, the family, tradition, authority. Not reformed. Dismantled.

2. They called it Critical Theory – and the name is the program. Everything is to be criticized; nothing is to be built. In The Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944), Adorno and Horkheimer argued that Western reason — the reason that produced Newton and the rule of law — contained the seeds of Auschwitz. Not that reason had been misused, but that reason itself, taken to its conclusion, produces the death camp. This was not a critique of institutions. It was an indictment of the civilization itself.

3. Adorno gave them the psychological weapon. The Authoritarian Personality (1950) classified conservatism, religious faith, patriotism, and the traditional family not as political positions but as symptoms of a proto-fascist personality. If you believe in the nation or the father’s authority, you are pre-fascist. The opponent was no longer wrong – he was sick. You don’t argue with a pathology. You treat it.
This made dialogue impossible. You don’t persuade someone who is wrong; you diagnose someone who is sick. Politics becomes therapy, and disagreement becomes pathology.

4. Marcuse gave them the political weapon. Repressive Tolerance (1965) argued that tolerating wrong ideas is itself oppression. True tolerance therefore requires suppressing intolerant ideas. The left decides which ideas are intolerant. Everyone else is silenced – not despite tolerance, but "in its name." Censorship dressed in the vocabulary of liberation.

5. The generation that read Marcuse at Columbia, Berkeley, and Yale went on to run universities, media, foundations, NGOs, content moderation departments, and the EU regulatory apparatus. They implemented the argument sincerely because they had been taught it as philosophy. This was the Frankfurt School’s greatest achievement: it produced true believers.

6. French Theory picked up the tools and made them aesthetic. Foucault made the critique of power literary. Derrida made the critique of meaning philosophical. Deleuze made the critique of identity elegant. A political program became a cultural sensibility. You can argue with a program. A sensibility is in the air you breathe. By the time these ideas reached the American campus through the French conduit, they were no longer ideology. They were the water. The fish did not know they were wet.

7. A civilization stands on three pillars: truth exists and is accessible to reason; good is distinguishable from evil; and there is an inheritance worth transmitting. The Frankfurt School attacked all three – systematically and with considerable intellectual sophistication. It produced a generation that knows how to deconstruct and has forgotten how to build. That sees power everywhere and beauty nowhere.
The ultimate achievement was to make destruction feel like progress. Every inherited institution became suspect; every constraint became oppression; every act of preservation became reactionary. Deconstruction became the default, while construction became something that needed to justify itself.

The answer is not another theory.
It is the thing the Frankfurt School most feared: the builder who simply builds, the scientist who follows the evidence, the father who transmits what was transmitted to him.

The deconstruction machine runs on the assumption that nothing is worth building.

Prove it wrong.
Tell the truth, have courage, and build.

[True Teller @TrueTeller2024]

Recently I’ve been seeing so many posts about the new HHS report on Medicaid fraud. Of course, my thoughts go straight back to Ilene.

The report is about Medicaid fraud, but when I think about everything that happened to my daughter, honestly, the whole story starts to feel like a fraud to me.

I still remember getting that CVS notification that her testosterone was ready for pickup. I also remember that the prescription initially didn’t go through. So when I started reading about the HHS report, I thought, what if something was wrong with the coding?

Then I went back and looked at Ilene’s records.

There it was: ICD-10 F64.1/F64.9.

And F64.1 caught my attention because it is associated with dual-role transvestism.

But Ilene was not a transvestist.

And then I start thinking about the rest of the story, and honestly, it gets harder and harder for me to believe that everything was just normal and above board.

A transgender pastor filed a DCF complaint against me because I would not affirm my daughter’s “male” identity. I was accused of neglect. I was portrayed as unsafe.

We went to court. The allegations were dropped.

And yet, the day before Ilene turned 18, DCF offered to take her under their custody.

Why?

Why would they want custody of my daughter when the allegations had been dropped and she was literally going to become a legal adult the next day?

Then Ilene cut contact with me. Somehow, she still obtained Medicaid, which covered her second visit with endocrinology APRN Britta Shute and her consultation at a surgical center for a double mastectomy.

Then she died.

And after her death, even though I had paperwork showing that I was her fiduciary, Medicaid could not provide me with the medical records related to her care.

Why?

This is where I have a hard time just saying, “Well, sometimes things happen.”

A transgender pastor files a complaint against me.

DCF accuses me of neglect.

The allegations are dropped.

DCF still offers to take custody of my daughter one day before she becomes an adult.

A testosterone prescription initially doesn’t go through.

A diagnosis code appears in her records that makes no sense to me because Ilene was not a transvestist.

Medicaid pays for her endocrinology care and a double-mastectomy consultation.

And then, after she dies, Medicaid can’t provide me with the records.

Maybe there is an innocent explanation for every single one of these things.

Maybe.

But when you put them all together, the whole thing looks incredibly sketchy.

And I’m not going to stop asking questions just because my daughter is no longer here to ask them herself.

This was my daughter.

Yes… wolves in white coats - and not only in white ones.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, when we ask God for something—even a very good thing—and we don’t receive it, a question can arise: “Why wouldn’t God just give it to me?”

St. Augustine explains that it’s because the soul must expand so as to receive the gift that God wants to give.

Paradoxically, it is through resistance that faith grows.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, for this Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we hear the story of the Syrophoenician woman. Jesus famously puts off this woman—first by ignoring her, then by dismissing her, and finally by insulting her—and she offers one of the most famous comebacks in literary history. A common reading of this story is that Jesus is cranky from a tough day of ministry, and a plucky woman from Syrophoenicia straightens him out. But this turns Jesus into a sinner—and the whole structure of Christianity falls apart. The Church Fathers had a much better, more convincing, and spiritually more helpful interpretation.

Puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries are life-saving for trans-identified people, said Democrats. In truth, they have resulted in the worst medical scandal since lobotomies. Now, a major new study finds the Biden admin facilitated the fraudulent billings that financed it.

[The DarkHorse Podcast @thedarkhorsepod]

Bret Weinstein shared a story that caused him to fall off his chair on Episode 338 of The Evolutionary Lens on DarkHorse.

The surveillance company Toka makes Flock look like "the shallow end of the frickin pool."

Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.”

Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made. What could go right?

@BretWeinstein explains, "I don't want to live in a world where a person can be erased and the people who did the erasing run no risk because they have a subscription to a service that allows their crime to be perfect.

That's really what this is."

@mattvanswol @espn Cowards! They don’t care about women and children at all.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

For years now, some hospitals and healthcare providers have been subjecting children to horrific, experimental treatments in service of radical gender ideologies. Today, thanks to the Wolves in White Coats report released by @HHSGov, we know why: profit. It turns out that convincing vulnerable children to reject their gender can create patients for life, earning hospitals tens of thousands of dollars in additional revenue per child.

The report contains deeply disturbing allegations, and I encourage every American and every parent, to read it. More than just pushing these procedures on kids, hospitals and providers may have been defrauding Medicaid and private insurers by using misleading or fraudulent billing codes to get insurance to cover the costs.

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

You need to know this is happening. We all do. This technology threatens the rule of law itself. It creates an enabled class of government-affiliated citizen with the power to exonerate themselves--and falsely convict others--of their crimes. Is this already shaping history? No way to know.

We discussed it today on DarkHorse, in the first reply.
