Lara Logan: Biden Admin Is Trafficking Children So Elites Can Drink Their Blood To Fight Aging [VIDEO]
These people vote and right wing media promotes them. Reality means nothing to these people. But why kill the babies, just milk the blood in regular donations keeps the blood fresh and coming in. These people don’t think through things very well. 🙄 Hugs
Just banned by Newsmax, Lara Logan has some thoughts:
The reason I believe that people reacted that way is it’s all about the children. The question they don’t want us asking is where are all the missing children?
What happens to these children? How can hundreds of thousands of kids go missing in the United States every year and nobody knows where they are?
They just vanish? I don’t think so. Every sex trafficking ring worldwide knows, bring the kids to the United States that this administration is participating in the trafficking of kids.
They’re paying companies, LLCs and non-profits and church groups. They’re paying them to take these kids and disappear them.
The report that you showed have talked about the blood of young children being the secret to anti-aging. And why does nobody ask where does blood come from?
How do you get the blood of young children? And does it matter if the children are younger and younger and younger? So now you’re talk — are you talking about the blood of babies now? Is that what you’re talking about?
Logan may be too fucking crazy even for Newsmax, but not for Mike Lindell’s Frank Speech platform.
According to our research and experience, out of the half a million children that go missing every year in the United States, nearly all of them are found. That’s 97.8%. So, half a million children go missing, but nearly all of them are also found.
When most people think about missing children, they imagine children being lured into white vans. But if a father or mother takes a child without permission, and they don’t have custody, that’s considered a missing child, and the vast majority of missing kids are due to family abductions. There are more than 3,000 attempted snatchings per year, and more than 90% of those are runaways or parental abductions.

I turned off the Amber Alerts on my phone because 99% of them had a very accurate description of the abductor, the car, the license plate, etc.
Don’t wake me up in the middle of the night when you know the abductor’s name, and where he/she and all his/her relatives live.

BLOOD LIBEL
https://encyclopedia.ushmm….
The term blood libel refers to the false allegation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish, usually Christian children, for ritual purposes. The Nazis made effective use of the blood libel to demonize Jews, with Julius Steicher’s newspaper Der Stürmer making frequent use of ritual murder imagery in its antisemitic propaganda.

NYPD Warns Of Threats Against NYC Polling Places
The New York Post reports:
The NYPD says “elevated vigilance” is needed during the upcoming midterm elections, as “hostile rhetoric” and “generalized threats” swirl on online forums, according to an internal memo obtained by The Post.
Officials warned that “malicious actors” in chat and messaging groups, as well as other forums, may create “echo chambers” that promote “false narratives” and “establish a permissive environment for violent action against election-related infrastructure and personnel.”
The memo cited calls on “far-right, ultranationalist, and QAnon extremist forums” for their followers to become “poll challengers” if they witness “fraud” and “cheating” at the polls.

Gosar Caught On Video Praising Shooting Of Migrants – JMG
Boing Boing reports:
Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, the right-wing hatemonger who is loathed by his own siblings for his reprehensible actions, is seen in this video expressing his approval for two people pretending to be migrant hunters. After they tell him they shoot migrants who cross over to their family farm in Yuma, he responds, “Say a prayer because this country needs you. There’s a bunch of people that are ready to go into action.”

What gives them plausible deniability is that some people, at least, seem to have construed the Second Amendment to mean the right to shoot people who cross the border illegally (and/or are on your land, or for being a prominent Democrat or “RINO”, for that matter). Referring to the “Second Amendment” in those circles seems to have become a euphemism for shooting people you have dehumanized.

If Trump Republicans take back Congress, democracy in America will already have died. Democracy depends for its survival on strong majority support for certain ideals and values, not just on institutions and elections. Every vote for a Trump Republican is a metaphorical middle finger to democracy.
So if you, JMG reader, know a registered Republican — a friend or co-worker or family member, for instance — ask them whether they appreciate the fact that their continued membership in that party adds number and heft to the party of Paul Gosar, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and Alex Jones.
Tell them, remind them, that their “belonging” to that crime syndicate posing as a political party makes them complicit.
They are complicit in the ongoing, unfolding criminal nightmare.

*This transcript was auto-generated. Please excuse any typos. Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis suffered a major blow this week in a court from a Republican appointed judge by the name of l Lee Marsh. And Judge Marsh told Ron DeSantis in his entire administration that you guys are actually violating Florida’s open records laws by not releasing all of the information that you have about those migrant flights that you’ve been paying for This judge, Mr. Marsh, Judge Marsh was appointed by former Republican governor Rick Scott, so is a right wing judge. And even the judge was like, Y’all can’t do this. You cannot hide this information. They have been hit, by the way, with multiple different open records requests from news organizations, from immigration rights groups, from all sorts of people throughout the country. And Ron DeSantis administration has said like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We’ll release it. We’ll give you the information, but we have a very small staff, so maybe we’ll try to get it to you by December, you know, after the midterms.
Of course, Judge Marsha’s ruling says that it has to be turned over within the next 20 days, and the midterms are less than 20 days away. So it’s very unlikely that the DeSantis administration is going to give us this information before the midterms hit because they know it’s going to be very bad because some of the information that has remained hidden are communications, of course, with DeSantis chief of staff arranging the actual flights. Now they’ve actually released a little bit of it. So that’s how we know that there are, there’s more to that. But yes, it has now been confirmed, of course, that DeSantis administration did arrange this, not the DeSantis campaign, the actual administration of this corrupt Republican governor. And if you think the ruling is bad, that you should hear what actually happened in court because DeSantis general counsel started arguing with the judge after he issued the decision.
Let me read this from Politico. During the hour long hearing on Tuesday, Andrew King, assistant general counsel for DeSantis argued that the center, the group that filed the Opens record lawsuit was quote, weaponizing the public records law so they can jump everyone else. King also revealed during the hearing that Ute Meyer, who is uh, DeSantis chief of staff, uh, has no phone logs. And even if he did, it would not be a public record. The governor’s office previously released text messages between T Meyer and Larry Keef. DeSantis Safe are that showed the two officials were coordinating the flights. Nick Mes, Deputy General counsel for DeSantis, tried to argue with Judge Marsh after the judge rendered
His, his decision from the bench mes contended the decision would create a precedent and would require the administration to play favorites with how it responds to public records request. Judge Marsh countered he was constrained by the law and that the administration had failed to turn over records citing, for example, that the administration had blocked out the names of who, those who signed waivers to get on a plane. Attorneys for DeSantis contended that they withheld that information because of the ongoing federal lawsuit where a Massachusetts judge is allowing the names of the migrants who filed the lawsuit to remain confidential. But upon questioning from Judge Marsh, they acknowledged Florida has not been told to keep that information confidential. So the reason this is important, right? This little argument with the judge that took place after the ruling came out is because DeSantis people said, Okay, we’ll release it, but you know, we’ve blacked out all the names.
The judge said, Who the hell told you to do that with? The Massachusetts judge said they’re not releasing them, so we’re not releasing them. Cool. Did he tell you you can’t release them? No. Okay, so you’re not under court order to not release them, un redact the names and get this crap out here in the next 20 days. Again, this is a Republican judge, but the reason they want the names blacked out, of course, is so the media cannot reach out to these people, get interviews with them and let them tell the story about how they were duped to get on Ron DeSantis flights.
Florida Man Cites “Don’t Say Gay” Law In Lawsuit Over Pride Flag In Classroom: This Is Against Jesus [VIDEO]
Because rainbows make Jesus cry. As I said in the last post on this guy, not everyone lives by his bible. Deliu said his family is Christian-Orthodox and considers homosexuality a sin, saying in the lawsuit it’s “not in accordance with their Bible.” Gay people exist, and they have rights. Gay kids exist and they have rights. This child is in the 7th grade, he is quite aware of gender and sexual orientation, and sorry but not everyone is the same. My rights, gay kids in the 7th grade don’t lose their rights because the bible says they are icky, and his daddy is a bigoted asshole. Hugs
West Palm Beach’s NBC affiliate reports:
A Wellington father is suing the School District of Palm Beach County after he claimed his son’s teacher put up two LGBTQ pride flags in her classroom. Dr. Francisco Deliu’s 12-year-old son is in seventh grade at Emerald Cove Middle School.
Deliu filed a lawsuit on Oct. 12 against the school district, Palm Beach County School Board, the middle school, principal Dr. Eugina Smith-Freeman and teacher Rachel Raos. Deliu said his family is Christian-Orthodox and considers homosexuality a sin, saying in the lawsuit it’s “not in accordance with their Bible.”
Deliu claimed the teacher’s actions are a violation of Florida’s “Parents’ Bill of Rights” law, which went into effect in 2021. Deliu is asking for a jury trial and wants the court to declare the teacher’s [alleged] decision to discuss gay pride and homosexuality illegal.
Read the full article. Deliu also wants an apology from the school and the teacher to be posted on the district’s website. Wellington, it’s worth noting, is one of Florida’s wealthiest communities. Many of its homes include horse stables and Wellington hosts the annual US Polo Open as well as other equestrian competitions.

It surely isn’t his first go-round with making big accusations, either. In 2017, the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal found him guilty of nine different charges including “misconduct”, “unprofessional conduct” and “conduct unbecoming a lawyer”.
The misconduct charges resulted from a series of allegations the barrister made against two high court judges of “discrimination and racism by the Judges towards both counsel and clients, and corruption in carrying out their duties.”
Deliu was fined a quarter of a million dollars and his law license was temporarily suspended.

Yes, it was more of a scare type law that was so vague that teachers would be afraid to do anything, even putting up a pride flag. I hope this is a test case that turns out well to knock down this law.
Why is saying that ‘straight people exist’ legal, but “gay people exist’ illegal?

Pence: You Have No Right To Freedom From Religion – JMG
When will we take seriously these religious fundies and their threats to force everyone to follow the dictates of their religion? They want to end democracy and have already shown they will lie about history, science, medical facts, every part of reality to get their way. They want control over every aspect of everyone’s lives. Your private lives, your public lives, they demand the right to tell you how to live and what you must do. You will pay to support their churches, you will worship as they say, you will educate your kids the way they demand, you will watch what they require you to, marry and have sex only the way they tell you, this is the world they are trying to create. Think Iran, think Saudi Arabia, any other theocracy you can imagine. Dogs that love gravy think of the Puritans and the Spanish inquisition. Hello future if these people are not stopped now. Notice how Pence words it, forcing you to follow their religion is “pro freedom”! What freedom is that for the rest of us, the freedom to do as we are told and live according to the dictates / doctrines of their churches. Hugs
“The radical left believes that the freedom of religion is the freedom from religion. But it’s nothing the American founders ever thought of – or generations of Americans fought to defend.
“You know, I said today here in Houston that the source of our nation’s greatness has always been our faith in God, our freedom, and our vast natural resources.
“And the good news is, that after four years of the Trump-Pence administration, I’m confident that we have a pro-religious freedom majority on the Supreme Court of the United States.
“And I’m confident that come Election Day, November the 8th, you’re gonna see that freedom majority around the country turn out and vote pro-freedom majorities in the House, and in the Senate, and in statehouses around the country.” – Mike Pence, yesterday on Fox News.

These things are written. You can read and understand
The first says government cannot stop you from being religious nor can it force you to be religious. It’s so strong in the latter that it’s actually called the establishment clause.

Evangelicals have a history of portraying The US as the ‘“New Israel/God’s new chosen people”. They don’t put it so bluntly, but it was the common undercurrent of my evangelical upbringing. America was founded as an Anti-Catholic/Anti-Anglican Protestant paradise. They actually wanted to keep Catholics out.
I think Pence would have a different view on “freedom from religion” if there were several teachers at an elementary school pushing Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism to their students.

It’s funny, because they claim to be Christian and their behavior isn’t like Christ. This isn’t about religion, it’s about control and always has been.
Religion is and always has been a system for controlling gullible masses. It existed as sets of laws before other systems of law came into existence.
In the US, you are free to believe what you want and that includes having no religious beliefs at all. The radical far-right wants a theocracy based solely on their interpretation of Christianity. No other religious belief will be permitted, not even pro-equality Christianity.

The religious right is now targeting sexless marriages as “selfishness.” They want to ban those too
It seems the religious right is on a push to have as many kids born as possible, even if it kills the woman. I am not sure why? The went after same sex marriage claiming they couldn’t be real because they did not produce offspring / children. Now any childless marriage is not real because no children being born. Is that because less and less people are religious in the US. Are they worried that soon they will lose too much money in the collection plates if they don’t get the US to over populate? Do they need more sacrificial lambs to the altar of their god? And why do these people obsess with the marriages / sex lives of other people so much. Are they jealous? I just don’t get it. Hugs
Photo: ShutterstockIn July, the Supreme Court of Sweden ruled in a landmark case that a relationship doesn’t have to involve sex to be considered significant. In a case involving an asexual couple in which one of the two parties is deceased, the court emphasized that a relationship should be characterized by a close community in personal terms that normally occurs between married people and that sex doesn’t have to be involved for that to happen. It was a significant win for asexual people in Sweden.
However, in America, a darker reality exists for asexuals even on this Ace Week, as religious nationalist groups are actively trying to block the Respect for Marriage Act from passing in the Senate. Not only is the religious right seeking to ban gay marriage once again, but they have also signaled a future attack against asexual marriages.
As obtained by Politico, some 83 Christian nationalist groups (led by the Alliance Defending Freedom) released a letter in July imploring Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to block the Respect for Marriage Act, because marriage equality somehow opens the door to further immorality, like platonic marriages.
“H.R. 8404 would require federal recognition of any one state’s definition of marriage without any parameters whatsoever. This would include plural marriages, time-bound marriages, open marriages, marriages involving a minor or relative, platonic marriages…”
It’s impossible to ignore calling out the perfidious groomer libel conservatives keep trying that is recycled garbage from the 1970s. However, we cannot ignore the religious right calling for platonic (asexual) marriages to be banned also!
There is an abundance of evidence to show asexual marriages are under threat, also.
The Ace Couple, an asexual married couple who runs a podcast discussing topics related to asexuality, did a four-episode series on the 83 religious groups who signed onto the letter to McConnell asking to block the Respect for Marriage Act.
Each group essentially states in no uncertain terms that asexuality is unacceptable to their religion and should be banned from having equal marriage rights.
The Witherspoon Institute, a right-wing think tank founded by Robert P. George (who founded the anti-LGBTQ hate group American Principles Project), came out with an op-ed entitled “Why We Should Push Back against Platonic Marriage.” The editorial’s author, Alan J. Hawkins, laments the idea of asexual marriages existing because he feels allowing asexual marriages will lead to a “marriage inferno.”
I think it matters deeply that we continue to define marriage as a sexual union. It matters because the continual pruning of marriage reduces its core purpose to something that does not really set it apart from other committed relationship possibilities. This ongoing thinning of marriage’s meaning leaves less and less of the concrete conjugal elements that can bind marriages together. Also, it seriously erodes the legal justification for the benefits, responsibilities, and protections with which the law endows marriage.
The Witherspoon Institute is not alone in this thinking.
No group stated this more than the Heritage Foundation, which wrote a 2016 article, “The Obligations of Family Life: A Response to Modern Liberalism,” in which they vocalized their hatred of autonomy and choosing not to have sex and procreate.
Autonomy has within itself the seeds of ever-greater radicalism because coercion can be given an ever-broader definition, beginning with physical coercion but ending with any external or natural consideration shaping one’s “choice.” Truly autonomous choices, on this ever more radical understanding, must be made without the influence of imposed habits, human reason, education, social pressure, legal pressure, cultural expectations, or any other external demand. Autonomous choices spring from within the individual, lest they be traceable to something oppressive or alien to the individual. One wonders, therefore, whether such choices are made in consideration of anything but selfishness.
The religious right views exercising freedom of choice as nothing more than being selfish. They view choosing individual happiness as somehow wicked and evil, and they want to remove the right to choose from us all, forcing us into sex on their terms.
It’s weird to me seeing the religious right come right out and attack sexless marriages.
Growing up in a purity culture right in the heart of the Bible Belt, all I heard as a youth were messages about abstaining from sex, with pastors and Christian leaders imperatively saying, “Don’t have sex! Don’t even think about it!”
Now, the commandment has apparently flipped, with the religious right commanding everyone to have sex.
The religious right states in no uncertain terms that anyone not entering into a sexual, procreative relationship should not be allowed to marry.
This has large ramifications on asexual people—many of whom desire companionship and love— as well as on asexual married couples who depend on the benefits marriage provides. The Respect for Marriage Act would be a vital help to asexual couples who now find themselves in the crosshairs of the culture wars.
Florida man sues son’s school for violating his “natural rights from God” by displaying Pride flags
And it begins. This is what the Republicans and what Gov. DeathSantis wanted. How is just seeing a rainbow flag being educated “in the ways of homosexuality.” I keep saying the goal is to erase gay people from society. Sorry your religion doesn’t give you the right to kick the people you don’t out of the country, you don’t get to make the people you don’t like hide the fact they are real, you don’t get to use your church doctrine to force people to live straight lives because you don’t want gays to live their lives freely. What other things will it be illegal for a kid to see, that will instruct them in the way of …, how about icons of other religions? For that matter I an atheist, I don’t like all the religious symbols and pictures I see, can I sue people for displaying a cross like wearing one around their neck? They already banned the books that offended them, what next?
The US is built on diversity and different cultures. There is a drive on the right to roll back all advances in society over the last 70 years. To return women to traditional stereotypical roles, to drive minorities back to a subservient roles, To erase the LGBTQ+ and remove representation of them. They want a white Christian ethnostate, and they are pushing hard to get their way. They are a minority that is getting their way, claiming my very existence as an openly gay man in a same sex marriage is wrong and instructing their kid in homosexuality. They want me gone, erased, hidden, it offends their Christianity. Tough shit, their religion offends me. What about that. No one has the right to not be offended.
If this man wants his child isolated from the other people then send his child to a Christian school that follows his religion. Gay kids are real, they go to school, they have the right to live their lives openly as do straight kids. They have as much right to date, to have clubs, to see their symbols as much as Christians have the right to wear their crosses. LGBTQ+ have as much right to be and to live openly as straight kids, as Christian kids, as Muslim kids, as atheist kids and so on. This is not the first time this father has tried to force his religion on others and seems to also be a racist who demands the right to discriminate against others.
People we need everyone to stand up and say enough and fight back against the attempt to remove others from society and existence. We must fight against the attempt to force one religion in the laws and lives of everyone else. These people are the US version of the Taliban. Help us stop them. Vote them out of office. Hugs
Photo: ShutterstockA Florida father is suing his 12-year-old son’s school district over the fact that his son was exposed to Pride flags in his computer science classroom.
Dr. Francisco Catalin Deliu of Palm Beach County is arguing that Emerald Cove Middle School, principal Dr. Eugina Smith-Freeman, and his son’s teacher Rachel Raos have been “expressly and/or implicitly advocating for homosexuality as an alternative way of life,” reports CBS 12.
Deliu, a Romanian refugee who fled due to religious and political persecution, is an Orthodox Christian who believes being gay is a sin.
The lawsuit says that in early September, Deliu’s son informed him that Raos had hung two Pride flags in her classroom, searched online “about homosexual lifestyles,” and “proselytized to the students in the class.”
Deliu claims the principal dismissed him when he complained and said she’d have to speak to the Board to determine whether Raos was breaking the law. He also claims that after asking for his son to be removed from Raos’s class and placed in a different computer science class, the school instead moved his son to an art class without telling him.
The suit reportedly does not accuse the school of breaking Florida’s infamous Don’t Say Gay law. It argues that the school violated Deliu’s “substantive human rights” and “natural rights from God.” It accuses the state of “acting contrary to his religious beliefs” and says he has a right to prevent his child from being educated “in the ways of homosexuality.”
Deliu has also previously accused the school of spreading homosexuality through library books.
And these tussles are far from his first time getting involved with the law.
While living in New Zealand in 2017, Deliu’s law license was suspended for 15 months and he was ordered to pay over $250,000 due to “six charges of misconduct, one charge of unprofessional conduct, and one charge of conduct unbecoming a lawyer,” according to the New Zealand Law Society.
The charges were due to allegations of racism and discrimination he made against two judges, which the court reportedly said were “excessive, disgraceful, and baseless attacks on Judges made in provocative and intemperate language, and for the purposes of protecting the practitioner’s own interests.”
For the accusations against his son’s school, he reportedly is seeking a jury trial.
