stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-13--Why Some People Take Q-Anon’s Pedophilia Allegations Seriously

( Robert Oscar Lopez ) In Billy Joel ’ s rock classic , “ You May Be Right , ” he has the memorable lines : Related Netflix ’ s ‘ Cuties ’ : It ’ s Not The First Attempt By Hollywood To Normalize Pedophilia ( Opens in a new browser tab ) Billy Joel ’ s classic came back to me as everybody seems eager to bash the “ Q-Anon ” phenomenon these days .
In one of Joe Carter ’ s usual feints at the Gospel Coalition , he offers a listicle of things Christians should know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is “ the family of fringe conspiracy theories.
” Carolyn Mimbs Nyce at the Atlantic says it is a “ new American religion.
” And you know that if you ’ re writing in the Atlantic , there ’ s no way to be an American religion , new or old , in a good way .
While at least acknowledging that concern for child abuse motivates many Q proponents , she goes as far as to say that Q is a “ rejection of reason and Enlightenment values.
” Will Sommer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can scarcely hide his glee in reporting about the ill fated antics of Jessica Brim , whom he calls a “ Q-Anon devotee.
” Brim “ had come to New York because of an internet conspiracy theory video about a ‘ cabal ’ of pedophile Democrats ” and got arrested over “ more than a dozen counts of criminal possession of a weapon … as well as a marijuana possession charge.
” Sommer summarizes her world as a “ Facebook page ” “ filled with references to QAnon , a conspiracy theory that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinton are cannibal-pedophiles scheming to undermine Donald Trump.
” The New Yorker ’ s Adrienne LaFrance describes Q-Anon the way superstitious people would describe an omnipresent demonic force .
Liberals like to turn descriptions of Q-Anon ’ s conspiracy theories into their own grand conspiracy theory about Q-Anon ’ s dangerous empire of saboteurs , underworld plotters , fanatical ideologues , and terrorists .
Q-Anon , LaFrance tells us , is “ more important ” than one might think .
In her view , the movement unites many people with the laundry-list obsessions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ religiosity , resistance to the Sexual Revolution , affiliations with Trump .
LaFrance is cited as the definitive Q expert by Sarah Posner , author of the subtly titled book Unholy : Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump .
In a classically manipulative New York Times piece called “ The Evangelicals Who Are Taking on Q-Anon , ” Posner assures us that Q-Anon is not only insane , but also a distillation of the most dangerous extremisms of right-wing white Christianity : The message from every major news outlet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminal mind and psychopathology ( see here to consider how people criminalize and pathologize “ conspiracy theories ” ) .
Any time you hear someone mention Q with scowling contempt , you are having a close encounter with the evil villains of every left-wing doomsday warning : brainless evangelicals , frigid Midwestern Sunday School matrons , macho gun-collectors , gullible mobbers , Clinton-obsessed racists , misogynistic homophobes , cross-burners , Bible-thumpers , locker room bullies , incestuous backwoods druggies on work release .
Since Q-Anon became so vilified , it ’ s no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voted to denounce Q-Anon on October 2 , 2020 by a vote of 371-18 .
The vast majority of the spineless GOP contingent went along with the bluster .
Hilariously , in more than a dozen “ Whereas ” clauses , the House resolution wanders into its own lunatic fringe , alleging that the Q-Anon crowd contributes to violent crimes , terrorism , anti-Semitism , and seemingly random but newsworthy disturbances such as a man trying to bomb the Illinois Capitol rotunda and another vandalizing a Catholic church .
The resolution even accuses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by focusing so much on it that they overwhelm hotlines .
The resolution cites the FBI and West Point .
The authors think this is the best time to demand that we place our faith in politicized intel agencies and the military-industrial complex .
Who doesn ’ t want to place his faith in James Comey and Dr. Strangelove ?
.
Q-Anon , we are told , is crazy .
But remember what Billy Joel said in “ You may be right.
” It might be some lunatics America ’ s been looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blind men , the one-eyed man is king If you immerse yourself in the left ’ s sexual beliefs , after a while , their radicalism won ’ t shock you because you think that ’ s how the world is .
You ’ ll be scandalized when someone else is shocked by things that really ought to outrage us .
So it goes in a country where ludicrous notions have become mainstream and the sane people who object are tagged as psychopaths .
It ’ s like the Twilight Zone episode where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a world of people with elephant faces .
At first , leftists believed they could make Q go away through their usual sandbagging tactics : • pretending they ’ re not there ( the way they buried the Terry Bean and Ed Buck stories ) , • blacklisting them from media sites ( Alex Jones and Groyper treatment ) , • getting the Southern Poverty Law Center to splatter them all over one of their “ hate maps ” ( the Family Research Council sleight ) , • and digging up dirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smeared religious leaders ( Ted Haggard ) and Supreme Court nominees ( Brett Kavanaugh , Amy Coney Barrett ) .
Q ’ s warriors are immune to these typical tactics .
Q-followers area persistent and now numerous , so # 1 fails .
They are diffuse , so it ’ s impossible to know whom to ban , so # 2 fails .
The soldiers in Q ’ s army rally around their common interest in the techniques used by elites to deceive and manipulate large masses of people .
By this time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hater ” have become banal , so # 3 fails .
Unlike earlier anti-leftist movements , Q began with the unquestioned conviction that global elites are twisted , depraved , and evil .
The movement never went through a phrase of wanting liberal echelons to like them , so they couldn ’ t care less about their detestable opponents making fun of them .
Many emulate David fighting Goliath anyway .
Therefore , # 4 fails .
Lastly , Q has no identifiable leaders , so the usual trick of blackmailing or defaming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strike — in essence , # 5 — also fails .
Why Q won ’ t go away Pedophilia may be the most shocking allegation , but it is a refraction of a deep and commonly perceived problem with all the left-wing camps : the left ’ s ideas about children have become frightening .
Whether it ’ s age of consent , family law , adoption procedures , sexual education , sexual media aimed at younger and younger children , the forced exposure to sexually confusing material , or lies about sexual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emotional or physical abuse , the leftist camps have shown a consistent eagerness to force adult controversies onto children who are too young to understand them .
Q was smart to frame the pedophilia discussion by looking at the link between child abuse and networks of power , systems , and ideological agendas .
Q never agreed to a discussion on the left ’ s terms .
Usually , the left likes to make sex abuse a matter of naming , shaming , and punishing famous individuals as mass catharsis .
This left-wing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paradoxes where leftists brand Roy Moore a pedophile with only the flimsiest of evidence , only to hand victory to Doug Jones , endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign or HRC .
HRC was founded by accused abuser Terry Bean and now wants to force schoolchildren across America to learn about adult sexualities through “ Welcoming Schools.
” If the left were so concerned about pedophilia , why are leftists creating a national system of targeting children for discussions about sexuality away from their parents — a practice associated with grooming ?
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ranks of society are so delusional , then why is Obama-connected Netflix doubling down on its support of child porn ?
Why has California created a legal loophole for twenty-four year-olds to engage in “ consensual ” sodomy and oral sex with fourteen-year-olds in the name of LGBT equality ?
Why have the same leftists who see Handmaid ’ s Tale as a misogynist dystopian tale rallied to support surrogacy and international adoption-on-demand in the name of supporting “ gay families , ” despite the fact that we haven ’ t developed safeguards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases like Mark Newton and Frank Lombard ?
Indeed , the same left that speaks endlessly about “ kids in cages ” on the Mexican border fought agcontrols of border crossings , which will undoubtedly make child-trafficking more common for black-market adoptions and for sex slavery .
Anybody claiming that same-sex parenting through surrogacy poses no risk of sexual misconduct should look simply at the case of Barrie Drewitt-Barlow , known as Britain ’ s “ first gay dad.
” He was together with one man for over 30 years , during which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But then Drewitt-Barlow broke up with his “ husband ” and started dating Scott Hutchinson , the boyfriend of his surrogate-conceived daughter Saffron .
Hutchinson is half Drewitt-Barlow ’ s age .
This new couple then procured a daughter , Valentina , through yet another surrogacy contract .
If the Drewitt-Barlow case looks normal to you , then you ’ re probably not going to understand the mass appeal of Q-Anon .
But here ’ s the punch line : you ’ re crazier than Q ever was if that ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the debates about gay adoption , the constant response we heard from the left was that “ children don ’ t need to be raised by their mother and father ; they only need to be loved.
” If you unpack that logic , you ’ ll see the underlying evil .
Q-Anon has figured out that terrible things happen when adults think all children want their “ love ” all the time .
Stalking , molestation , grooming , trafficking , and harassment of underage people quickly become normalized when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child wanted whatever strange treatment the adults believed they were entitled to force or press upon the child .
If you have any doubts that left-wing adults will project even their weirdest thoughts onto unwilling children , consider the movement to ban “ conversion therapy ” even for youths who want counseling to avoid homosexuality .
Pro-LGBT fanatics see no problem in deciding what underage people should want or even what kind of sex lives they should desire .
And naturally , the more powerful a person is , the greater the likelihood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turn his own sick thoughts about children into law , policy , and culture .
Setting aside some examples where people proclaim that Q-Anon got things wrong , we find abundant signs that the basis of Q-Anon ’ s theory — elites promote child abuse through the levers of power — is not crazy at all .
The Q army is not approaching pedophilia the way leftists MeTooed issues of sexual conduct .
The left cast it as an individual abomination to smear specific targets such as Roy Moore , Milo Yiannopoulos , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The new Q activists are looking at the systemic pedophilia , ironically because the leftists who obsess about “ systemic ” problems can ’ t make the jump from individual abuse cases to the larger structural deficiencies in our society .

(Robert Oscar Lopez) In Billy Joel’s rock classic, “You May Be Right,” he has the memorable lines:

Source – American Thinker
by Robert Oscar Lopez, October 13th, 2020
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for. It’s too late to fight
It’s too late to change me
You may be wrong, but for all I know,
You may be right.
Billy Joel’s classic came back to me as everybody seems eager to bash the “Q-Anon” phenomenon these days. In one of Joe Carter’s usual feints at the Gospel Coalition, he offers a listicle of things Christians should know about Q. First and foremost, it is “the family of fringe conspiracy theories.”
Carolyn Mimbs Nyce at the Atlantic says it is a “new American religion.” And you know that if you’re writing in the Atlantic, there’s no way to be an American religion, new or old, in a good way. While at least acknowledging that concern for child abuse motivates many Q proponents, she goes as far as to say that Q is a “rejection of reason and Enlightenment values.”
Will Sommer, reporting at the Daily Beast, can scarcely hide his glee in reporting about the ill fated antics of Jessica Brim, whom he calls a “Q-Anon devotee.” Brim “had come to New York because of an internet conspiracy theory video about a ‘cabal’ of pedophile Democrats” and got arrested over “more than a dozen counts of criminal possession of a weapon … as well as a marijuana possession charge.” Sommer summarizes her world as a “Facebook page” “filled with references to QAnon, a conspiracy theory that holds that top Democrats like Biden and Clinton are cannibal-pedophiles scheming to undermine Donald Trump.”
The New Yorker’s Adrienne LaFrance describes Q-Anon the way superstitious people would describe an omnipresent demonic force. Liberals like to turn descriptions of Q-Anon’s conspiracy theories into their own grand conspiracy theory about Q-Anon’s dangerous empire of saboteurs, underworld plotters, fanatical ideologues, and terrorists. Q-Anon, LaFrance tells us, is “more important” than one might think. In her view, the movement unites many people with the laundry-list obsessions that fearful leftists love to denounce: religiosity, resistance to the Sexual Revolution, affiliations with Trump.
LaFrance is cited as the definitive Q expert by Sarah Posner, author of the subtly titled book Unholy: Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump. In a classically manipulative New York Times piece called “The Evangelicals Who Are Taking on Q-Anon,” Posner assures us that Q-Anon is not only insane, but also a distillation of the most dangerous extremisms of right-wing white Christianity:
Some white evangelicals speculated about whether Barack Obama was the Antichrist, or just a “sign of the times.” Of course the point was not to actually determine, definitively, whether the first Black president was the Antichrist. The point was to make people wonder aloud about it or post about it on social media.
The message from every major news outlet is simple: Q exemplifies both a criminal mind and psychopathology (see here to consider how people criminalize and pathologize “conspiracy theories”). Any time you hear someone mention Q with scowling contempt, you are having a close encounter with the evil villains of every left-wing doomsday warning: brainless evangelicals, frigid Midwestern Sunday School matrons, macho gun-collectors, gullible mobbers, Clinton-obsessed racists, misogynistic homophobes, cross-burners, Bible-thumpers, locker room bullies, incestuous backwoods druggies on work release.
Since Q-Anon became so vilified, it’s no surprise that the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted to denounce Q-Anon on October 2, 2020 by a vote of 371-18. The vast majority of the spineless GOP contingent went along with the bluster. Hilariously, in more than a dozen “Whereas” clauses, the House resolution wanders into its own lunatic fringe, alleging that the Q-Anon crowd contributes to violent crimes, terrorism, anti-Semitism, and seemingly random but newsworthy disturbances such as a man trying to bomb the Illinois Capitol rotunda and another vandalizing a Catholic church. The resolution even accuses Q-Anon of harming efforts to curtail sex-trafficking by focusing so much on it that they overwhelm hotlines.
The resolution cites the FBI and West Point. The authors think this is the best time to demand that we place our faith in politicized intel agencies and the military-industrial complex. Who doesn’t want to place his faith in James Comey and Dr. Strangelove?.
Q-Anon, we are told, is crazy. But remember what Billy Joel said in “You may be right.” It might be some lunatics America’s been looking for.
In a land full of blind men, the one-eyed man is king
If you immerse yourself in the left’s sexual beliefs, after a while, their radicalism won’t shock you because you think that’s how the world is. You’ll be scandalized when someone else is shocked by things that really ought to outrage us. So it goes in a country where ludicrous notions have become mainstream and the sane people who object are tagged as psychopaths. It’s like the Twilight Zone episode where the pretty blonde is seen as ugly in a world of people with elephant faces.
At first, leftists believed they could make Q go away through their usual sandbagging tactics:
Q’s warriors are immune to these typical tactics.
Q-followers area persistent and now numerous, so #1 fails.
They are diffuse, so it’s impossible to know whom to ban, so #2 fails.
The soldiers in Q’s army rally around their common interest in the techniques used by elites to deceive and manipulate large masses of people. By this time labels like “bigot” and “hater” have become banal, so #3 fails.
Unlike earlier anti-leftist movements, Q began with the unquestioned conviction that global elites are twisted, depraved, and evil. The movement never went through a phrase of wanting liberal echelons to like them, so they couldn’t care less about their detestable opponents making fun of them. Many emulate David fighting Goliath anyway. Therefore, #4 fails.
Lastly, Q has no identifiable leaders, so the usual trick of blackmailing or defaming someone at the top for a surgical strike — in essence, #5 — also fails.
Why Q won’t go away
Pedophilia may be the most shocking allegation, but it is a refraction of a deep and commonly perceived problem with all the left-wing camps: the left’s ideas about children have become frightening. Whether it’s age of consent, family law, adoption procedures, sexual education, sexual media aimed at younger and younger children, the forced exposure to sexually confusing material, or lies about sexual reality, or, yes, direct emotional or physical abuse, the leftist camps have shown a consistent eagerness to force adult controversies onto children who are too young to understand them.
Q was smart to frame the pedophilia discussion by looking at the link between child abuse and networks of power, systems, and ideological agendas. Q never agreed to a discussion on the left’s terms. Usually, the left likes to make sex abuse a matter of naming, shaming, and punishing famous individuals as mass catharsis. This left-wing modus operandi of ostracism and revenge creates paradoxes where leftists brand Roy Moore a pedophile with only the flimsiest of evidence, only to hand victory to Doug Jones, endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign or HRC. HRC was founded by accused abuser Terry Bean and now wants to force schoolchildren across America to learn about adult sexualities through “Welcoming Schools.” If the left were so concerned about pedophilia, why are leftists creating a national system of targeting children for discussions about sexuality away from their parents — a practice associated with grooming?
If charges of organized pedophilia at the highest ranks of society are so delusional, then why is Obama-connected Netflix doubling down on its support of child porn? Why has California created a legal loophole for twenty-four year-olds to engage in “consensual” sodomy and oral sex with fourteen-year-olds in the name of LGBT equality? Why have the same leftists who see Handmaid’s Tale as a misogynist dystopian tale rallied to support surrogacy and international adoption-on-demand in the name of supporting “gay families,” despite the fact that we haven’t developed safeguards against child trafficking, as evidenced in cases like Mark Newton and Frank Lombard? Indeed, the same left that speaks endlessly about “kids in cages” on the Mexican border fought agcontrols of border crossings, which will undoubtedly make child-trafficking more common for black-market adoptions and for sex slavery.
Anybody claiming that same-sex parenting through surrogacy poses no risk of sexual misconduct should look simply at the case of Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, known as Britain’s “first gay dad.” He was together with one man for over 30 years, during which they adopted five children via surrogacy. But then Drewitt-Barlow broke up with his “husband” and started dating Scott Hutchinson, the boyfriend of his surrogate-conceived daughter Saffron. Hutchinson is half Drewitt-Barlow’s age. This new couple then procured a daughter, Valentina, through yet another surrogacy contract.
Describing the moment his daughter met her little sister for the first time, Barrie said: “It was strange when Saffron first met Valentina. It crossed my mind that this could have been her baby with Scott and my grandchild.”
If the Drewitt-Barlow case looks normal to you, then you’re probably not going to understand the mass appeal of Q-Anon. But here’s the punch line: you’re crazier than Q ever was if that’s the case.
When these issues were raised during the debates about gay adoption, the constant response we heard from the left was that “children don’t need to be raised by their mother and father; they only need to be loved.” If you unpack that logic, you’ll see the underlying evil. Q-Anon has figured out that terrible things happen when adults think all children want their “love” all the time. Stalking, molestation, grooming, trafficking, and harassment of underage people quickly become normalized when the left reserves the right to say the child wanted whatever strange treatment the adults believed they were entitled to force or press upon the child.

The Q army is not approaching pedophilia the way leftists MeTooed issues of sexual conduct. The left cast  it as an individual abomination to smear specific targets such as Roy Moore, Milo Yiannopoulos, Jerry Sandusky, and Joshua Duggar. The new Q activists are looking at the systemic pedophilia, ironically because the leftists who obsess about “systemic” problems can’t make the jump from individual abuse cases to the larger structural deficiencies in our society.

( Jack Phillips ) Sen. Lindsey Graham ( R-S.C. ) opened the confirmation hearing of Judge Amy Coney Barrett by warning Democrats against repeating a process that dragged out the confirmation hearings for the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 .
Related WATCH : Lindsey 3.0 : Dems Will Try To ‘ Destroy Judge Barrett At Their Own Peril ’ ( Opens in a new browser tab ) Graham , the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee , went over the Senate ’ s schedule to confirm Barrett and advance her to the Supreme Court before the Nov. 3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said they will try to delay the process by several means , while arguing that the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election should be the one who decides Barrett ’ s confirmation .
“ My Democratic colleagues will say , ‘ This has never been done , ’ ” Graham said in his opening remarks , countering : “ The Senate is doing its duty , constitutionally.
” Graham noted there have been 19 justices confirmed in an election year , with 17 of them being confirmed when the White House and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is going to be a long contentious week , ” Graham said .

Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, went over the Senate’s schedule to confirm Barrett and advance her to the Supreme Court before the Nov. 3 election.
Democrats in the Senate have said they will try to delay the process by several means, while arguing that the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election should be the one who decides Barrett’s confirmation.
“My Democratic colleagues will say, ‘This has never been done,’” Graham said in his opening remarks, countering: “The Senate is doing its duty, constitutionally.” Graham noted there have been 19 justices confirmed in an election year, with 17 of them being confirmed when the White House and Senate had party alignment.
“This is going to be a long contentious week,” Graham said. “Let’s make it respectful, let’s make it challenging, let’s remember the world is watching.”
“In my view, the person appearing before this committee is in a category of excellence,” Graham said of Barrett, adding she’s someone “the country should be proud of.”
Graham was likely referring to the 2018 hearing for Kavanaugh, which were marred by interruptions, unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations, and strange behavior from senators.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the ranking member on the panel, said they will attempt to focus on Barrett’s stance on key issues including the Affordable Care Act.
“We will examine the consequences,” of her potential rulings, Feinstein said, while adding that “the president has promised to appoint justices who will vote to dismantle that law.”
“This well could mean that if Judge Barrett is confirmed, Americans stand to lose the benefits that the ACA provides,” Feinstein continued. “More than 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions … could be denied coverage or charged more to obtain health insurance.”
The hearings for Barrett come as some Democrats have suggested they would “pack the court” with extra justices if Barrett’s confirmation goes through. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), his choice for vice president, have remained mum on packing the courts.
“Lately the left is threatening to pack the Supreme Court in retaliation for this confirmation process,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) stated in his Monday opening statement. “Even the Democrats’ nominee for president and vice president have not ruled out such blatantly partisan policy grabs. Republicans are following the Constitution and the precedent—it seems Democrats would rather just ignore both.”

Giving unsolicited advice. Constantly berating their children about what they do or don’t do. Using emotional blackmail to get what they want. Negatively affecting their children’s self-esteem. Parents who control their adult children use techniques that are often so devious you could write a book about them.
Unfortunately, this behavior can cause unnecessary suffering. Some people reach adulthood and continue to deal with parents who criticize everything they do or who are constantly trying to control them. Although this problem often goes undetected, it’s very damaging to the victim’s dignity and self-confidence.
Society tends to extol the work of parents and idealize the family unit as a refuge of unconditional love and support. However, the reality is that the way some parents raise their children leads to suffering and unhappiness. Unfortunately, those dynamics don’t automatically change when the children reach adulthood. On the contrary, sometimes, they become more entrenched and difficult to cope with.
Why do some parents control their children? Why is it so hard for these adult children to put a stop to the situation? Let’s take a look at some of the factors at play in this unhealthy family dynamic.
Parents who control their adult children
Many parents control their adult children. It doesn’t matter that their son or daughter moved out long ago or has their own family and separate life. In some cases, the umbilical cord was never cut and continues to transport a kind of toxic love that only seeks to foster dependence.
If you’re wondering what might lie behind this need for control, the answer is simple. People who want to control others are trying to relieve the feeling that they’re lacking something.
In the case of parents and adult children, the former are afraid of loneliness, so they do everything in their power to keep their children dependent on them. Closeness (and domination) makes them feel that they’re still useful. That feeling of power helps mitigate their low self-esteem and makes them unaware of the suffering they’re causing.
The fact that their children are grown doesn’t change their need to be in control. Instead, they use more subtle and sophisticated techniques. In fact, when parents spent many years psychologically manipulating their children, they’ll always find new paths and strategies to continue doing so.
The fear of letting life take its course
As we mentioned above, this need for control is driven by a feeling that they’re lacking something. However, fear is another important factor. These parents are afraid that their son or daughter will live an independent, mature, and free life, far from home. The controlling parent interprets any attempt on their adult child’s part to take the reigns as offensive. In fact, they feel attacked by this behavior, which triggers anger and anxiety.
They consider threatening the fact that their adult children make their own decisions. The controlling parent’s response to this is to second-guess those decisions. In fact, they even make their adult children feel guilty about the decisions they make. They say things such as, “How dare you move to another city for this job and leave me alone?” or “How can you possibly consider a serious relationship when you know that I need you?”
Parents who control their adult children constantly put up walls, making it impossible for their children’s lives to run their natural course.
Control and manipulation techniques
Parents who control their adult children usually do it in an indirect, subtle, and painful way. This kind of manipulation is so insidious that people often have a hard time explaining it in therapy.
It’s like being stuck on a spider web. You’ve been there for so long that you think it’s normal. However, this behavior is far from normal.
Controlling parents are always there to “help”. However, that help comes at a cost. Their goal is to keep you in their debt so that they have power over you. If your parent lends you some money or helps with a household project, they’ll use it against you later. “I lent you money and you just go and spend it on ____?” Doing you favors gives them a certain degree of authority over you.

They also use emotional manipulation to make their adult children feel guilty all the time. Controlling parents complain about being abandoned, betrayed, and hurt by their children.
They give advice that feels more like orders and never hesitate to talk about what’s “best” for their children.
Breaking the cycle
Reflecting on the relationship you have with your parents is essential. No matter how old you are, you have to think about whether the connection is positive or negative. Although that may seem obvious, many people don’t realize how detrimental their family dynamics are to their well-being.
Here are some tips to help you break the cycle of these unhealthy attachments:
Be clear with your parents about what kind of behavior is unacceptable to you.
Set clear boundaries. If your parents don’t respect them, react poorly, or make themselves the victims and say that you’re abandoning them, try to avoid falling into their trap.

1. Shamanism appeared some time during the upper Paleolithic (50,000 – 10,000 years ago).
The shaman would often enter trance states to follow the migration of herds (ensuring a successful hunt), heal people from illness, and protect their tribe from evil spirits.
Many cave paintings depict shaman dancing in animal costumes, as though taking on the spirit of a particular animal.
2. As the nomadic tribes began to settle, new civilisations emerged, the earliest known being Sumeria (3500 BCE).
From the translation of cuneiform tablets we know that the Sumerians believed in a wide range of celestial beings such as gods and spirits, many of which were hostile, so each person was guarded by spirit to protect them from demons.
Their magic system was known as invocation, which allowed them to summon, bind and vanquish dark spirits using amulets, incantations and exorcism.
3. In ancient Egypt (2500 BCE), priests became skilled in Heka (the ‘activation of Ka’ or spirit energy).
The Ka was the aspect of the soul which embodied personality, and the priests believed they could manipulate this spiritual fabric to influence the gods, gain protection, heal the ill and transform themselves into immortals.
During the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt (1069–653 BC), the art of Heka was adopted by midwives and nurses, allowing women to explore the secrets of Ka for the first time.
4. The Mystery cults emerged in ancient Greece (1500 – 1100 BCE) and were eventually passed onto the Romans.
These secret schools required an initiation process to gain entrance. Worshippers believed that the gods of Greece (such as Demeter, Dionysus and Orpheus) had passed on their magical secrets to humans during the Bronze Age.
This included the art of shamanic travel, invoking the gods, reincarnation, and even the ingredients for making ambrosia (an immortalising food).
5. The Celts (decedents of the Indo Europeans), formed a priest class known as Druids by around 350 BCE.
These nature worshippers acted as teachers, judges, astrologers, healers, and bards. They were pantheists, meaning they revered many aspects of a single deity (in the forms of nature gods, trees and standing stones).
All of their rituals were based around reincarnation, creating potions and crafting spells, which would eventually form the backbone of medieval witchcraft.
6. Another branch of Indo-European magic can be found in the Anglo-Saxon culture (400 CE – 1100 CE).
Their magic was based on Norse Mythology, where legend says the god Odin had passed the secrets of the runes to humanity.
These sacred symbols are used for healing, creating charms, crafting magical artefacts and hexing people.
Due to the Christianisation of their religion in the 6th – 8th century, the Anglo-Saxons came to fear the practitioners of rune magic, believing them to be guided by evil.
7. Gnosticism was a mystic religion that originated in the Middle East around 100 CE.
Gnostics believed the material world was inherently evil and that realm of spirit was fundamentally good. They claimed the creator god of the Old Testament was corrupt and had created a flawed world.
Instead they directed Christians toward an inner experience of the true god via spiritual transcendence. Their ideology outraged other Christian and Jewish faiths that saw this as an affront to their religion.
8. Gnosticism later influenced the mystic tradition of the Kabbalah.
This Jewish sect believed that God’s divine knowledge had been shared by the angels to humans 5000 years ago.
His spiritual principles were then passed down the generations via oral tradition until emerging as a sacred text known as Sefer Zohar (“Book of Radiance”), written by Moses de Leon, 1290 CE. Practitioners guide their followers via meditation toward a direct contact with the divine.
Like Gnosticism, the Kabbalah speaks of divine beings, a tree of life and multiple cosmic realms.
9. Throughout the early middle ages, the Catholic Church tolerated pagan faiths.
However, after the devastation of the ‘Black Death’ (bubonic plague 1347-1349), a paranoia swept through the minds of Christians, believing it was the heathens and heretics who had tainted humanity with their dark sorcery.
What followed was 300 years of persecution toward anyone practicing magic and mysticism.
1401: Witch Trials began in England, proclaiming that anyone who practiced witchcraft was to be burnt at the stake.
1487: The notorious ‘Malleus Maleficarum’ (‘Hammer against the Witches’) was published by Kramer & Sprenger, inciting Christians to hunt down and kill witches.
1515: Authorities in Geneva, Switzerland burn 500 accused witches at the stake
1526: Como, Italy, a spiral of witchcraft charges lead to around 1000 executions.
1644: In England, Matthew Hopkins (self proclaimed “Witch-finder General”) began an intense witch-hunting campaign, torturing and killing around 300 women.
1692: The Salem witch trials arrest 150 people, convicting twenty-nine of the felony of witchcraft. Nineteen of the accused were hanged.
Between 1400 and 1700, an estimated 50,000 suspected witches were executed (around 75% of them women), in countries such as France, Britain, Germany and America.
After what became known as “The Burning Times”, the practice of witchcraft survived in pockets, particularly in the countryside, cut off from interaction with witches from other areas, or through secret societies.
10. The occult, (knowledge of the paranormal) was studied and practiced throughout the witch trials, often within secret societies sworn to silence.
Intellectuals drawn to forbidden lore and mysticism began to study ancient texts related to invocation, ancient mythology, Egyptian mysticism, Gnosticism and the Kabbalah.
Throughout this era, societies such as the Freemasons and Rosicrucians began to develop new schools of thought in astrology, alchemy, tarot, mediumship and sacred geometry.
11. In 1887, the works of the occult reached their pinnacle in an English society called ‘The Golden Dawn’.
The Hermetic Order was an organisation devoted to occult practices, metaphysics, and paranormal activity.
Many present-day concepts of ritual magic have been inspired by the Golden Dawn, which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism.
12. Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion.
It was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century by Gerald Gardner. It draws upon the mystic traditions of the golden Dawn as well as ancient pagan practices.
Wiccans typically believe in reincarnation, the use of magic to influence specific outcomes, a moral responsibility toward others and an appreciation for natural cycles (they have eight festivals known as Sabbats that revolve around the changing seasons).
Wiccans often worship a variety of nature deities, the most important being the mother goddess and the horned god. These two deities are sometimes viewed as facets of a single godhead.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?
Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-14--The Democrats’ Long Temper Tantrum Will Reelect Trump

( Clarice Feldman ) It ’ s quite obvious to me that the Deep State and the Democratic Party that staffs it never got over the fact that their nefarious misuse of our intelligence agencies and hoodwinking the media didn ’ t work any better than their constant efforts after his election to remove Donald Trump from office and continue their autocratic grifting .
This week was no exception .
Indeed , I have to agree with Roger L. Simon that “ In the aftermath of Trump ’ s contracting Covid-19 , they are reelecting him.
” Related Biden Claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Died From Coronavirus – The Actual Number is 7 ( VIDEO ) Any sentient viewer of this week ’ s debate had to be disgusted .
The moderator , the questions , the format all combined to make this an upscale version of an old-time “ Saturday Night Live ” debate .
I have believed for a long time that there should be a timekeeper and no moderator .
That the debate should be on one national policy question with each candidate given 20 minutes to make his case and the remaining time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wallace used his role to interrupt the president , prop up the failing Biden , and ask questions about “ white supremacy ” long answered — even to him in 2016 — in an effort clearly to smear Trump .
Ben Domenech correctly places the blame for this format on the out-of-date debate commission , tweeting : Even with the assistance of Wallace ’ s entire body on the scale , Biden failed utterly on any level of credibility .
Within days after saying in the debate that he did not support the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said he did .
This is par for the course of his entire political career .
( From March 13 to April 3 , even his strong propaganda outlet , the Washington Post , gave him 11 Pinocchios respecting his claims about the President ’ s handling of the COVID-19 crisis . )
He has lied about virtually everything , including having attended Delaware State ( a black college ) , to attributing the death of his first wife and daughter to a drunk driver ; to his academic career .
( I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of dissembling because they are so easily determined false that he either can not distinguish fact from fantasy or thinks no one else can . )
Among other things in the debate , he misquotes FBI Director Chris Wray as having said “ Antifa is an idea , not an organization.
” In fact , as a conservative trans woman who went undercover with Antifa in Portland reports , Antifa is not “ an idea ” , it is real and seeks to rule by terror .
They operate by “ affinity groups.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ She explains that their tactics either force people to back down or slug them , and to them , either way is a win .
( Especially so because they block from viewing any press which is not sympathetic to them .
And some prosecutors are with them , if you want an explanation of why Kyle Rittenhouse who was clearly defending himself against these street thugs is being prosecuted . )
They are sophisticated operationally , coordinated but not like their predecessor the Weather Underground was .
It includes hackers “ who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ loose-knit network of people ” in their twenties to thirties , intoxicated by the lure of violence and struggle .
The President , First Lady , Kellyanne Conway , campaign manager Bill Stepien , three White House reporters , and three key Republican Senators ( Ron Johnson , Mike Lee , and Thom Tillis ) have all tested positive for COVID-19 .
So just as the slugging match about who “ won ” the nondebate debacle was dying down , the perfervid reporting and pontificating about how this happened and what it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ cases ” has been so misstated by a media that loves to create panic when none is called for , it ’ s worth examining what this means .
So what do these headlines really mean ?
What exactly is a COVID “ case ” ?
Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak , most US media outlets have been exceedingly credulous and complicit in their reporting .
Journalists almost uniformly promote what we can call the “ prolockdown ” narrative , which is to wildly exaggerate the risks from COVID-19 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be motivated to hurt Trump politically , to promote a more socialist “ new normal , ” or simply to drive more clicks and views .
Bad news sells .
But the bias is clear and undeniable .
This explains why media outlets use the terms “ case ” and “ infection ” so loosely , to the point of actively misinforming the public… Take a perfectly healthy person with no particular symptoms and swab the inside of their nose .
If the culture shows the presence of staphylococcus aureus , do we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — A virus is not a disease .
Only a very small percentage of those exposed to the virus itself — SARS-CoV-2 — show any kind of acute respiratory symptoms , or what we can call “ coronavirus disease.
” The only meaningful statistics show the incidence of serious illness , hospitalizations , and deaths .
The single most important statistic among these is the infection fatality rate ( IFR ) .
Data collected through July shows [ 4 ] that the IFR for those under age forty-five is actually lower than that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IFR rises for those over fifty , but it is hardly a death sentence .
And the data does not segregate those with preexisting health issues caused by obesity , diabetes , and heart disease .
If we could see data only for reasonably healthy people under fifty , the numbers would be even more reassuring .
Yes , the media was dishonest in covering the health issues of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy , so it ’ s not unreasonable to be skeptical of health reports on any president , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Walter Reed Hospital , his tweets , and the reports of his physicians and those on the spot , the President ’ s “ case ” is asymptomatic or mild , so the fact that he has tested positive “ is essentially meaningless.
” People in this stage are sick for a few days and then they are not .
If this were more widely known and understood , the lockdowns by Democratic governors would never be justified , and there is every reason to note the harm caused by the eight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus .
As author Jeff Deist concludes , “ we have had nearly eight months of life and liberty stolen from us by politicians and their hysteria-promoting accomplices in the media .
How much more will we accept ?
” The hypercoverage of COVID-19 has tipped a lot of hands .
Nancy Pelosi is already measuring drapes for the Oval Office she hopes will be hers , the Democrats are cheering : According to the newly released poll , 41 percent of Democrats are “ indifferent ” about Trump ’ s positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent responded that they were “ happy ” about it .
Republicans , however , were mostly “ sad ” ( 55 percent ) and “ worried ” ( 51 percent ) .
Thirty-one percent of Democrats actually claimed to be “ excited ” at the news .
Excited ?
Is Trump Derangement Syndrome in the Democratic Party so bad that many Democrats are happy and excited about his diagnosis ?
Twitter was full of so many tweets wishing Trump would die that it first said they would strike them and suspend the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suspension threat , deciding to just strike the death-wishing tweets .
The satire site Babylon Bee notices the party that wants to run your healthcare roots for its political opponent to die .
( Let that one sink in .
It ’ s satire but true . )
MSNBC ’ s execrable Joy Reid suggests the President is faking it to get out of the next debate .
More class is shown by North Korea ’ s Kim Jong-un , who , according to Reuters says he “ sincerely hopes ” Trump recovers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a while in a presidential suite in Walter Reed , instead of madly racing to rallies around the country harm his re-election chances ?
Kurt Schlichter doesn ’ t think so any more than Roger L. Simon does : He can still talk to the press if he feels like it , he ’ ll just have to be in a plastic bubble .
But if he doesn ’ t want to , he doesn ’ t have to , and then you have a press with no one to talk to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe to fill the void .
And when Joe fills a void , it ’ s like when Nadler fills his trousers .
[ snip ] Their [ The Democrats ] dancing around hoping that Donald Trump will die , and that his wife will die too , is repellent to normal human beings .
Since normal human beings are not a key liberal demographic , they probably don ’ t understand what psychos they sound like .
The Democrats had to put the message out to their legions to stop rioting because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then stop trashing Amy Coney Barrett for liking Jesus and not being a barren , whiny , feminist shrew , because that was also freaking out the squares , and now publicly cheering on the death of the president and his wife will further freak out the squares .
He will garner sympathy from normal people , his condition will now dominate the news cycle , and he will , Schlichter notes , “ get the best medical care in the world ; he ’ s going to be just fine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks in the White House he ’ s going to close the election with a barnstorming tour across the United States the likes of which we haven ’ t yet seen which will highlight his potency and contrast it with Oldfinger ’ s decrepitude.
” It ’ s not going to be like Mimi slowly perishing of tuberculosis in La Boheme .
More like Gandalf in Lord of the Rings who returns more powerful than ever .

The Debate
Any sentient viewer of this week’s debate had to be disgusted. The moderator, the questions, the format all combined to make this an upscale version of an old-time “Saturday Night Live” debate. I have believed for a long time that there should be a timekeeper and no moderator. That the debate should be on one national policy question with each candidate given 20 minutes to make his case and the remaining time left for rebuttal. Instead, Chris Wallace used his role to interrupt the president, prop up the failing Biden, and ask questions about “white supremacy” long answered — even to him in 2016 — in an effort clearly to smear Trump.
Ben Domenech correctly places the blame for this format on the out-of-date debate commission, tweeting:
The Commission on Presidential Debates is a relic. Its board contains mostly people born in the 1930s and 40s. It is the reason there are no internet based debates. Its executive director has led it since before the end of the Cold War. It must end. The Commission’s approach creates debates that are unintelligible and with moderators who cannot effectively extract the truth. They are asking 1980s questions in a 1970s format. This must end.
Even with the assistance of Wallace’s entire body on the scale, Biden failed utterly on any level of credibility. Within days after saying in the debate that he did not support the absurd Green New Deal, his staff said he did. This is par for the course of his entire political career. (From March 13 to April 3, even his strong propaganda outlet, the Washington Post, gave him 11 Pinocchios respecting his claims about the President’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis.) He has lied about virtually everything, including having attended Delaware State (a black college), to attributing the death of his first wife and daughter to a drunk driver; to his academic career. (I mention these things out of a lifetime of dissembling because they are so easily determined false that he either cannot distinguish fact from fantasy or thinks no one else can.) Among other things in the debate, he misquotes FBI Director Chris Wray as having said “Antifa is an idea, not an organization.” In fact, as a conservative trans woman who went undercover with Antifa in Portland reports, Antifa is not “an idea”, it is real and seeks to rule by terror. They operate by “affinity groups.” It is “guerrilla warfare.”
Basically they’re baiting the police into overreacting. [snip] If you just go in public and pick someone and start pushing them, if you keep pushing then, they’re going to slug you; it’s just how it’s going to work, at the individual level but also at the group level, too. [snip] what they want to do it make it difficult for people they don’t like to organize.
She explains that their tactics either force people to back down or slug them, and to them, either way is a win. (Especially so because they block from viewing any press which is not sympathetic to them. And some prosecutors are with them, if you want an explanation of why Kyle Rittenhouse who was clearly defending himself against these street thugs is being prosecuted.)
They are sophisticated operationally, coordinated but not like their predecessor the Weather Underground was. It includes hackers “who never hit the streets,” a “loose-knit network of people” in their twenties to thirties, intoxicated by the lure of violence and struggle.
COVID runs through the White House
The President, First Lady, Kellyanne Conway, campaign manager Bill Stepien, three White House reporters, and three key Republican Senators (Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and Thom Tillis) have all tested positive for COVID-19. So just as the slugging match about who “won” the nondebate debacle was dying down, the perfervid reporting and pontificating about how this happened and what it means took flight.
Because the term “cases” has been so misstated by a media that loves to create panic when none is called for, it’s worth examining what this means.
So what do these headlines really mean? What exactly is a COVID “case”? Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, most US media outlets have been exceedingly credulous and complicit in their reporting. Journalists almost uniformly promote what we can call the “prolockdown” narrative, which is to wildly exaggerate the risks from COVID-19 to serve a political agenda. They may be motivated to hurt Trump politically, to promote a more socialist “new normal,” or simply to drive more clicks and views. Bad news sells. But the bias is clear and undeniable. This explains why media outlets use the terms “case” and “infection” so loosely, to the point of actively misinforming the public… Take a perfectly healthy person with no particular symptoms and swab the inside of their nose. If the culture shows the presence of staphylococcus aureus, do we insist they have a staph infection? — A virus is not a disease. Only a very small percentage of those exposed to the virus itself — SARS-CoV-2 — show any kind of acute respiratory symptoms, or what we can call “coronavirus disease.” The only meaningful statistics show the incidence of serious illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. The single most important statistic among these is the infection fatality rate (IFR). Data collected through July shows [4] that the IFR for those under age forty-five is actually lower than that of the common flu. The COVID-19 IFR rises for those over fifty, but it is hardly a death sentence. And the data does not segregate those with preexisting health issues caused by obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. If we could see data only for reasonably healthy people under fifty, the numbers would be even more reassuring.
Yes, the media was dishonest in covering the health issues of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, so it’s not unreasonable to be skeptical of health reports on any president, but by his appearance as he left for Walter Reed Hospital, his tweets, and the reports of his physicians and those on the spot, the President’s “case” is asymptomatic or mild, so the fact that he has tested positive “is essentially meaningless.” People in this stage are sick for a few days and then they are not.
If this were more widely known and understood, the lockdowns by Democratic governors would never be justified, and there is every reason to note the harm caused by the eight months of lockdowns outweigh the harm from the virus. As author Jeff Deist concludes, “we have had nearly eight months of life and liberty stolen from us by politicians and their hysteria-promoting accomplices in the media. How much more will we accept?” (As a footnote — when Obama was president 60 million Americans got the H1N1 swine flu. Did you know that? How widely was it reported? And did you know that once tests indicated how widely it was spreading that White House halted the testing?) The hypercoverage of COVID-19 has tipped a lot of hands. Nancy Pelosi is already measuring drapes for the Oval Office she hopes will be hers, the Democrats are cheering: According to the newly released poll, 41 percent of Democrats are “indifferent” about Trump’s positive COVID-19 diagnosis, while a staggering 40 percent responded that they were “happy” about it. Republicans, however, were mostly “sad” (55 percent) and “worried” (51 percent). Thirty-one percent of Democrats actually claimed to be “excited” at the news. Excited? Is Trump Derangement Syndrome in the Democratic Party so bad that many Democrats are happy and excited about his diagnosis? Twitter was full of so many tweets wishing Trump would die that it first said they would strike them and suspend the posters, and then backtracked on the suspension threat, deciding to just strike the death-wishing tweets.

Kurt Schlichter doesn’t think so any more than Roger L. Simon does: He can still talk to the press if he feels like it, he’ll just have to be in a plastic bubble. But if he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t have to, and then you have a press with no one to talk to, so maybe the pressure grows on Joe to fill the void.
