thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-23--Brainwashing & the New Vocabulary: 12 Words & Phrases I Never Want to Hear Again

Remember how after September 11th happened , there was that nasty bill that formed the TSA and authorized all sorts of surveillance against the American people and they called it , ironically , The Patriot Act ?
Of course , we knew then that the bill was anything but patriotic , however , that didn ’ t stop it from being passed and trampling all over the Constitution .
The word “ patriot ” was perverted by those in power who wanted everyone to fall into lockstep with the unconstitutional searches at airports and many other invasions into our privacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that doesn ’ t mean what people think it means – it was all done in the name of “ security.
” If you ’ ve been watching any type of media coverage or reading articles , you ’ ve probably seen or heard a plethora of words and phrases which are currently being perverted due to the coronavirus pandemic .
I don ’ t know about you , but if I never heard “ safe ” or “ new normal ” again , I ’ d be a much happier person .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ brainwashed through repetition , that ’ s because they are .
Quite simply , these buzzwords and several others we ’ ll discuss are being used to indoctrinate the public .
As Joseph Goebbels , the Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany , wrote : We ’ re incredibly divided right now and the words are being as fuel to the fiery arguments taking place both online and in-person , during altercations in which one party feels the other party is being callous and horrible .
Let ’ s take a look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a dozen words I ’ d like to have stricken from conversations , advertising , and the media .
While it ’ s absolutely true we ’ re never going “ back to normal ” like we were before the pandemic , there ’ s a “ new normal ” being foisted upon us which is blatantly fueled by fear .
Earlier on in the lockdown , I used this phrase a few times in reference to the economy .
Sorry about that .
The “ new normal ” is most often @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unconstitutional or undignified rule that people in charge want us to find tolerable , like taped squares on the floor that we ’ re supposed to stand in while waiting in properly spaced lines .
You know how cats will curl up in a taped-off square on the floor as though it was a box ?
Now they want humans to do that for the privilege of buying alcohol or food .
Other bizarre “ new normal ” activities are having your temperature taken by someone brandishing an infrared thermometer gun , scurrying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid other humans like you ’ re playing some kind of weird game of tag , and publicly shaming those who don ’ t act terrified because they clearly hate old people .
We ’ re all in this together The saccharine phrases “ we ’ re all in this together ” or “ we ’ re all in this together…apart ” were bandied about early on in the lockdowns .
Celebrities serenaded us badly with John Lennon songs .
They made videos of themselves looking concerned at their mansions , telling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ re all in this together.
” Except , of course , they still have millions of dollars in the bank and the rest of us weren ’ t supposed to go to work or open our businesses to make the money we need to survive .
Indeed , we all owe these celebrities an unfathomable debt of gratitude for reminding us that they , too , are “ in this together.
” Social media outlets even made little frames for your profile pictures bearing those wildly annoying words .
Articles encouraging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reminded us that everyone , rich or poor , was “ in this together ” too .
It ’ s just that the rich people were “ in this together ” on yachts and private islands while the rest of us crammed into the kitchen on Zoom meetings with our employers while banning our kids from streaming anything so we had enough internet .
How many times did you hear this phrase early in the lockdown ?
You probably lost count at umpteen million .
# StayHome was a viral hashtag on Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encouraging others to just “ stay home , ” and we were all told that if we didn ’ t “ stay home ” we were risking the lives of every person we loved and a few we hated because we were going to unconsciously spread the virus and kill people .
Clearly the only people who were asymptomatic were the a $ $ holes who wouldn ’ t “ stay home.
” They were COVID Marys and COVID Marks , thoughtlessly spreading illness to old people and kids with cancer merely because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home.
” In order to get us to all “ stay home ” stores in some states took to establishing what their government felt were “ essential ” purchases , and banning all other purchases even if you were already in the same store .
( More on the word “ essential ” in a moment . )
Thoughtless people didn ’ t realize if you only bought lettuce or a gallon of milk , you wouldn ’ t pass on your cooties .
Cooties were only passed when you bought duvet covers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ makes me want to snarl viciously at those using it is “ social distancing.
” I ’ ll admit , I ’ ve always had an invisible personal space bubble I don ’ t like having invaded , but the whole social distancing thing means now that stores have arrows telling you which way you can walk down an aisle and the afore-mentioned taped boxes or Xs on the floor for standing in an appropriately social-distanced line .
Due to “ social distancing ” we spent months being unable to visit with loved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or go into the liquor store aisles to select our own much-needed whiskey .
We ’ ll continue socially distancing in all sorts of ridiculous ways in the “ new normal ” future , with venues only allowing a small portion of their former capacity of customers inside at a time .
Hand in hand with social distancing is the phrase “ six feet.
” If someone gets too close to you in the store , you can shout angrily from behind your mask , “ Six feet , mofo !
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Six feet is the gold standard , the protective bubble that keeps you “ safe ” from getting COVID 19 when you can ’ t “ stay home.
” All those Xs on the floor of stores are measured out to be six feet apart .
Children returning to school will have to stay six feet away from other children while marching around the playground in dismal formation .
Offices are being redesigned so everyone can stay six feet away from everyone else .
The word “ essential ” has also been corrupted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working throughout the entire lockdown , it ’ s because you were an “ essential ” worker doing an “ essential ” job .
“ Essential ” was defined separately by the governor of each state , so it varied from place to place .
My daughter , who works in a beauty supply store , was initially not “ essential ” but a month in when everyone ’ s roots began to show , she became essential and got the travel papers to prove it .
The word “ essential ” was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government felt were important enough for you to be allowed to make in person , and for trips outside the home .
It was “ essential ” to go to the grocery store , the doctor , the pharmacy , and out to walk your dog .
However , the dog had to be walked on neighborhood streets with all the other people essentially walking their dogs , instead of on a trail out in the forest alone , because the trails were closed because they weren ’ t essential .
Depending on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you may have heard the word “ pivot ” until you wanted to vomit .
Small businesses were super-busy “ pivoting ” to try and stay afloat while loans meant for them went to billionaires and giant corporations .
You could “ pivot ’ by manufacturing something else – something “ essential ” like hand sanitizer – or by offering delivery or curbside pickup of your products .
Some of the “ pivoting ” was just different marketing .
Buy this laundry soap , because we ’ re washing clothes for healthcare workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because we support essential workers .
Buy from us because here ’ s how we ’ re keeping our employees safe .
Other “ pivots ” were allowing people to work from home , supporting your customers in different ways , and selling goods from an appropriate social distance , like literally selling new vehicles over the internet and dropping them off in people ’ s driveways .
How many emails could possibly have the subject line starting with “ in these uncertain times ” or “ in these unprecedented times ” ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I can ’ t enumerate how many emails I got assuring me that various companies had my back in these “ uncertain times.
” Everyone from Victoria ’ s Secret to my internet service provider sent me a message letting me know how they were doing business in these “ unprecedented times.
” Car brands had commercials about why you needed a particular vehicle during these uncertain times because we all definitely need a new car while the business that employs us is trying to pivot .
Articles had headlines about handling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I too had an article about uncertainty early in the crisis .
Again , sorry I used that word .
The continued use of this word makes people eager to latch on to anything that is “ certain.
” It makes them want to accept “ the new normal ” so they don ’ t have to be so “ uncertain.
” And since all this is “ unprecedented ” we have no idea what that “ new normal ” is going to be , so it can be anything , no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were first announced back in March , the entire goal was to “ flatten the curve.
” That meant that hospitals would not be overwhelmed like the hospitals in Italy and China .
Instead of a graph going straight up into the stratosphere , we ’ d have a gentle hill , spacing out the illnesses .
Everything became about “ flattening the curve.
” You can ’ t “ flatten the curve ” while going about your business .
CBS News explained ( while using 4 of our least favorite words and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the curve was flattened across the nation in April , that was no longer sufficient .
Many people are still stuck at home and many businesses are still unable to reopen .
The most overused word in this entire list of hijacked vocabulary has to be “ safe.
” If taking a shot every time you heard or read the word “ safe ” was a drinking game , we ’ d all be wasted by 9:30 am .
Out of all the words I never want to use again , “ safe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was already hijacked somewhat by the “ safe spaces ” nonsense where people were supposed to go when they felt vulnerable because somebody said something mean or wore a MAGA hat around them .
Now , “ safe ” has crossed the Rubicon .
Every other article on the internet is about remaining “ safe.
” Church marquees want you to stay away from service to be “ safe.
” Instead of saying “ bye ” or “ see ya later , ” the salutation when someone is leaving is now an implorement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that used to be okay but now aren ’ t safe are : kids playing at a playground , adults shaking hands with other adults when doing business , going for a hike , eating at a table in a restaurant , getting your hair cut , or basically having fun in any way beyond playing a wild game of Scrabble against those with whom you are “ staying at home.
” You all know that Ben Franklin quote about safety and liberty .
I ’ m not even going to quote it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread ” and “ wash your hands ” While not used quite to the same dizzying level as the words above , I ’ m also pretty sick of hearing about “ curbing the spread ” of the coronavirus and “ washing my hands.
” First of all , every business that sent me an “ uncertain ” or “ unprecedented ” email wanted me to know what they were doing to “ curb the spread ” of the virus .
Every White House or gubernatorial press conference explained with deep sincerity how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ curb of the spread ” of COVID19 .
( Of course , they also said the lockdown was only going to be for 2 weeks , and here we are finally emerging 60 days later in some parts of the country , almost as long a time as I predicted in the analysis I wrote back in March when a whole bunch of readers said I was nuts and angrily unsubscribed .
Let me also note that the lockdown has not yet been completely lifted in several highly populated parts of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already washing my hands , thank you very much .
If you need to be told to wash your hands as an adult , you clearly missed out on some important childhood lessons .
This is what brainwashing is like .
If you ever wondered what it was like brainwashing somebody , this is what it ’ s like .
Having the same words used over and over , words that used to mean something , until they begin to come out of your mouth too .
When you consistently hear these phrases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used to incite irrational fear , that ’ s brainwashing .
I ’ m not being a paranoid , tinfoil-tiara-wearing nutcase when I tell you that we ’ re all the targets of a mass media operation to make us accept this draconian outrageous “ new normal.
” When you hear things over and over again , when you hear a script coming from the mainstream media , from social media , your sucker of a neighbor who snitches on kids playing outside , and when every other article has one or more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there ’ s an agenda .
And that agenda is going to result in the loss of more freedom and the addition of more surveillance .
( Anyone looking for a contact tracing job ? )
I ’ m not saying that this virus wasn ’ t real or that it wasn ’ t a public health threat .
It was .
The fact that things didn ’ t get as bad as predicted doesn ’ t mean that the measures taken were entirely unnecessary – it means they worked .
But it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to be continued forever and ever .
However…as with all things , when the government gets a little bit of extra power and control , they become greedy for more .
They didn ’ t let this crisis go to waste , and they aren ’ t letting any grass grow under their feet while they plot to make all this nonsense permanent .
A fearful , indoctrinated populace is a populace that is easy to control .
What words are driving you nuts ?
What words or phrases make you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using them ) into oncoming traffic ?
Maybe I ’ m just cranky after being locked up for 2 months , but I ’ m stunned all my teeth have survived without being cracked as I clench my jaw in annoyance every time I hear or read these phrases .
If you catch yourself using these words , please , for the love of kittens , STOP .
Stop perpetuating the propaganda .

Remember how after September 11th happened, there was that nasty bill that formed the TSA and authorized all sorts of surveillance against the American people and they called it, ironically, The Patriot Act?
Of course, we knew then that the bill was anything but patriotic, however, that didn’t stop it from being passed and trampling all over the Constitution. The word “patriot” was perverted by those in power who wanted everyone to fall into lockstep with the unconstitutional searches at airports and many other invasions into our privacy.
Which brings us to another word that doesn’t mean what people think it means – it was all done in the name of “security.”
If you’ve been watching any type of media coverage or reading articles, you’ve probably seen or heard a plethora of words and phrases which are currently being perverted due to the coronavirus pandemic. I don’t know about you, but if I never heard “safe” or “new normal” again, I’d be a much happier person.
If you feel like people are being brainwashed through repetition, that’s because they are. Quite simply, these buzzwords and several others we’ll discuss are being used to indoctrinate the public. As Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany, wrote:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (source)
We’re incredibly divided right now and the words are being as fuel to the fiery arguments taking place both online and in-person, during altercations in which one party feels the other party is being callous and horrible.
Let’s take a look at this hostile takeover of our vocabulary with a dozen words I’d like to have stricken from conversations, advertising, and the media.
The new normal
While it’s absolutely true we’re never going “back to normal” like we were before the pandemic, there’s a “new normal” being foisted upon us which is blatantly fueled by fear. Earlier on in the lockdown, I used this phrase a few times in reference to the economy. Sorry about that.
The “new normal” is most often used to get people to accept whatever unconstitutional or undignified rule that people in charge want us to find tolerable, like taped squares on the floor that we’re supposed to stand in while waiting in properly spaced lines. You know how cats will curl up in a taped-off square on the floor as though it was a box? Now they want humans to do that for the privilege of buying alcohol or food.
Other bizarre “new normal” activities are having your temperature taken by someone brandishing an infrared thermometer gun, scurrying around in a mask in stores trying to avoid other humans like you’re playing some kind of weird game of tag, and publicly shaming those who don’t act terrified because they clearly hate old people.
We’re all in this together
The saccharine phrases “we’re all in this together” or “we’re all in this together…apart” were bandied about early on in the lockdowns. Celebrities serenaded us badly with John Lennon songs. They made videos of themselves looking concerned at their mansions, telling us not to worry, because “we’re all in this together.” Except, of course, they still have millions of dollars in the bank and the rest of us weren’t supposed to go to work or open our businesses to make the money we need to survive.
Indeed, we all owe these celebrities an unfathomable debt of gratitude for reminding us that they, too, are “in this together.”
Social media outlets even made little frames for your profile pictures bearing those wildly annoying words. Articles encouraging us to hunker down in our homes reminded us that everyone, rich or poor, was “in this together” too. It’s just that the rich people were “in this together” on yachts and private islands while the rest of us crammed into the kitchen on Zoom meetings with our employers while banning our kids from streaming anything so we had enough internet.
Stay home.
Stay home. Just stay home.
How many times did you hear this phrase early in the lockdown? You probably lost count at umpteen million. #StayHome was a viral hashtag on Twitter, people ended social media status updates encouraging others to just “stay home,” and we were all told that if we didn’t “stay home” we were risking the lives of every person we loved and a few we hated because we were going to unconsciously spread the virus and kill people.
Clearly the only people who were asymptomatic were the a$$holes who wouldn’t “stay home.” They were COVID Marys and COVID Marks, thoughtlessly spreading illness to old people and kids with cancer merely because they wouldn’t just “stay home.”
In order to get us to all “stay home” stores in some states took to establishing what their government felt were “essential” purchases, and banning all other purchases even if you were already in the same store. (More on the word “essential” in a moment.) Thoughtless people didn’t realize if you only bought lettuce or a gallon of milk, you wouldn’t pass on your cooties. Cooties were only passed when you bought duvet covers or garden seeds.
Jeez. Stay home, you jerks.
Social distancing
Another phrase that makes me want to snarl viciously at those using it is “social distancing.” I’ll admit, I’ve always had an invisible personal space bubble I don’t like having invaded, but the whole social distancing thing means now that stores have arrows telling you which way you can walk down an aisle and the afore-mentioned taped boxes or Xs on the floor for standing in an appropriately social-distanced line.
Due to “social distancing” we spent months being unable to visit with loved ones, go into restaurants to eat, or go into the liquor store aisles to select our own much-needed whiskey. We’ll continue socially distancing in all sorts of ridiculous ways in the “new normal” future, with venues only allowing a small portion of their former capacity of customers inside at a time.
Six feet
Hand in hand with social distancing is the phrase “six feet.” If someone gets too close to you in the store, you can shout angrily from behind your mask, “Six feet, mofo!” and it’s perfectly acceptable. Six feet is the gold standard, the protective bubble that keeps you “safe” from getting COVID 19 when you can’t “stay home.”
All those Xs on the floor of stores are measured out to be six feet apart. Children returning to school will have to stay six feet away from other children while marching around the playground in dismal formation. Offices are being redesigned so everyone can stay six feet away from everyone else.
Essential
The word “essential” has also been corrupted. If you were able to keep working throughout the entire lockdown, it’s because you were an “essential” worker doing an “essential” job. “Essential” was defined separately by the governor of each state, so it varied from place to place. My daughter, who works in a beauty supply store, was initially not “essential” but a month in when everyone’s roots began to show, she became essential and got the travel papers to prove it.
The word “essential” was also used to describe purchases that the government felt were important enough for you to be allowed to make in person, and for trips outside the home. It was “essential” to go to the grocery store, the doctor, the pharmacy, and out to walk your dog. However, the dog had to be walked on neighborhood streets with all the other people essentially walking their dogs, instead of on a trail out in the forest alone, because the trails were closed because they weren’t essential.
Pivot
Depending on the business you’re in, you may have heard the word “pivot” until you wanted to vomit. Small businesses were super-busy “pivoting” to try and stay afloat while loans meant for them went to billionaires and giant corporations. You could “pivot’ by manufacturing something else – something “essential” like hand sanitizer – or by offering delivery or curbside pickup of your products.
Some of the “pivoting” was just different marketing. Buy this laundry soap, because we’re washing clothes for healthcare workers in it. Buy our car, because we support essential workers. Buy from us because here’s how we’re keeping our employees safe.
Other “pivots” were allowing people to work from home, supporting your customers in different ways, and selling goods from an appropriate social distance, like literally selling new vehicles over the internet and dropping them off in people’s driveways.
Uncertain or unprecedented times
How many emails could possibly have the subject line starting with “in these uncertain times” or “in these unprecedented times”?
It turns out, a whole lot. I can’t enumerate how many emails I got assuring me that various companies had my back in these “uncertain times.” Everyone from Victoria’s Secret to my internet service provider sent me a message letting me know how they were doing business in these “unprecedented times.”
Car brands had commercials about why you needed a particular vehicle during these uncertain times because we all definitely need a new car while the business that employs us is trying to pivot. Articles had headlines about handling these “uncertain times.” I confess, I too had an article about uncertainty early in the crisis. Again, sorry I used that word.
The continued use of this word makes people eager to latch on to anything that is “certain.” It makes them want to accept “the new normal” so they don’t have to be so “uncertain.” And since all this is “unprecedented” we have no idea what that “new normal” is going to be, so it can be anything, no matter how draconian.
Flatten the curve
When the lockdowns were first announced back in March, the entire goal was to “flatten the curve.” That meant that hospitals would not be overwhelmed like the hospitals in Italy and China. Instead of a graph going straight up into the stratosphere, we’d have a gentle hill, spacing out the illnesses.
Everything became about “flattening the curve.” You can’t “flatten the curve” while going about your business. CBS News explained (while using 4 of our least favorite words and phrases):
Communities are being urged to practice social distancing, some schools are closing, sports and cultural events are being canceled, and companies are asking employees to work from home — even if they’re not experiencing coronavirus symptoms. Many are wondering why they are essentially self-quarantined despite the fact that they’re not sick. The answer has to do with “flattening the curve” — an answer that could leave some people confused. You’ve likely seen “flattening the curve” graphs being used in articles and shared on social media as a way to explain the importance of responding aggressively to curb the spread of the coronavirus. But what does it mean to flatten the curve, and how do we do it? Friday on “CBS This Morning,” CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook explained what has become a buzzword in the wake of the outbreak. “Is it really worth while to do all of this social distancing and hand washing? The answer is yes,” Dr. LaPook said. “Normally, right now — without any measures — the epidemic might go up [sharply] and go down. That peak number of cases could overload the system and that’s what people are worried about.” (source)
Unfortunately, even after the curve was flattened across the nation in April, that was no longer sufficient. Many people are still stuck at home and many businesses are still unable to reopen.
Safe
The most overused word in this entire list of hijacked vocabulary has to be “safe.”
If taking a shot every time you heard or read the word “safe” was a drinking game, we’d all be wasted by 9:30 am. Out of all the words I never want to use again, “safe” is the ultimate. The word was already hijacked somewhat by the “safe spaces” nonsense where people were supposed to go when they felt vulnerable because somebody said something mean or wore a MAGA hat around them.
Now, “safe” has crossed the Rubicon. Every other article on the internet is about remaining “safe.” Church marquees want you to stay away from service to be “safe.” Instead of saying “bye” or “see ya later,” the salutation when someone is leaving is now an implorement to “stay safe.”
Some things that used to be okay but now aren’t safe are: kids playing at a playground, adults shaking hands with other adults when doing business, going for a hike, eating at a table in a restaurant, getting your hair cut, or basically having fun in any way beyond playing a wild game of Scrabble against those with whom you are “staying at home.”
You all know that Ben Franklin quote about safety and liberty. I’m not even going to quote it.
Dishonorable mentions: “curbing the spread” and “wash your hands”
While not used quite to the same dizzying level as the words above, I’m also pretty sick of hearing about “curbing the spread” of the coronavirus and “washing my hands.”
First of all, every business that sent me an “uncertain” or “unprecedented” email wanted me to know what they were doing to “curb the spread” of the virus. Every White House or gubernatorial press conference explained with deep sincerity how following all the rules would result in a “curb of the spread” of COVID19. (Of course, they also said the lockdown was only going to be for 2 weeks, and here we are finally emerging 60 days later in some parts of the country, almost as long a time as I predicted in the analysis I wrote back in March when a whole bunch of readers said I was nuts and angrily unsubscribed. Let me also note that the lockdown has not yet been completely lifted in several highly populated parts of the US.)
And I was already washing my hands, thank you very much. If you need to be told to wash your hands as an adult, you clearly missed out on some important childhood lessons.
This is what brainwashing is like.
If you ever wondered what it was like brainwashing somebody, this is what it’s like. Having the same words used over and over, words that used to mean something, until they begin to come out of your mouth too. When you consistently hear these phrases and the opposite of these phrases is used to incite irrational fear, that’s brainwashing.
I’m not being a paranoid, tinfoil-tiara-wearing nutcase when I tell you that we’re all the targets of a mass media operation to make us accept this draconian outrageous “new normal.” When you hear things over and over again, when you hear a script coming from the mainstream media, from social media, your sucker of a neighbor who snitches on kids playing outside, and when every other article has one or more of these words in the headline, there’s an agenda.
And that agenda is going to result in the loss of more freedom and the addition of more surveillance. (Anyone looking for a contact tracing job?)
I’m not saying that this virus wasn’t real or that it wasn’t a public health threat. It was. The fact that things didn’t get as bad as predicted doesn’t mean that the measures taken were entirely unnecessary – it means they worked. But it doesn’t mean that those measures need to be continued forever and ever.
However…as with all things, when the government gets a little bit of extra power and control, they become greedy for more. They didn’t let this crisis go to waste, and they aren’t letting any grass grow under their feet while they plot to make all this nonsense permanent.
A fearful, indoctrinated populace is a populace that is easy to control.
What words are driving you nuts?
What words or phrases make you want to fling yourself (or the person using them) into oncoming traffic?
Maybe I’m just cranky after being locked up for 2 months, but I’m stunned all my teeth have survived without being cracked as I clench my jaw in annoyance every time I hear or read these phrases.
If you catch yourself using these words, please, for the love of kittens, STOP. Stop perpetuating the propaganda.

By Paul Smeaton, May 19, 2020:
LONDON, May 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A London suburb totalling a mere 15 square miles in size and with a population of less than 300,000 people has granted permission for the first time to nine mosques to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer during Ramadan.
The news was published earlier this month in an article in The Metro, which included a video of the “Adhan” being chanted above from the roof of a mosque in Waltham Forest.
Waltham Forest is one London’s 32 boroughs, each of which has its own elected local council.
Clare Coghill, the leader of Waltham Forest Council, said that the Adhan being broadcast was “an alternative form of connection” for Muslims, with mosques currently closed along with all other places of worship in the U.K. as part of the nationwide coronavirus lockdown.
“Ramadan is normally a time for the Muslim community to come together to pray and break their fast,” she said.
“Like many aspects of all our lives, this has been affected by Covid-19 and the requirement to remain socially distant. As an alternative form of connection during this special month, the Waltham Forest Council of Mosques contacted the council to request that as an alternative to congregating they announce a short call to prayer at a number of mosques adapted to remind worshippers to stay at home,” she continued.
“The council considered the request as it would with any religious or faith group looking to responsibly worship during this difficult time. Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim community.”
The Adhan will be broadcast each day at sunset, with an additional broadcast each Friday. The words in the Adhan state: “Allah is the greatest. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to prayer. Come to salvation.”

Is Naz Legacy short for Nazi Legacy?
The Catholic bishops of England & Wales prohibited the celebration of public Masses before the lockdown came into force and, according to their own statement, played a crucial role themselves in convincing the government to require that churches be closed altogether.
Nichols recently told Catholics in Britain that it would be a “scandal” to open churches for private prayer.

Our children in America play video games . In almost every, but not all, children interact with some form of video game. A popular game is called Minecraft in which you build things virtually. Pedophiles are using these video games, which often come with a form of chat, in order to lure unsuspecting, innocent children into their dark world. One such cop in a sheriff’s office in Texas has now been arrested after he terrorized and sexually groomed a young girl on Minecraft
Jack Burns at The Free Thought Project has the story:
Illustrating the sadistic and predatory nature of those who claim to “keep us safe,” for five years, Pasquale Salas terrorized a young girl he met on Minecraft. For much of that time Salas was a police officer. Not until he was caught in the act and arrested in 2019 did the Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office fire him.
Last week, Salas pleaded guilty to federal charges of cyberstalking and sexual exploitation of a minor after prosecutors say he coerced a young girl into sending explicit videos and photos of herself to him and then threatening harm to she and her family once she tried to break it off.
The girl, whose name is being withheld because she was a minor and a victim of abuse which is sexual in nature, said the online relationship with the police officer started when she met him on Minecraft in 2014. Salas coerced her into sending him nude pictures of herself. She did. And then he threatened to release those photos to friends and family should she ever try and get out of the cyber-affair.
That all ended in 2019 when she at age 17 told police investigators what Salas was doing to her. The investigation began in Massachusetts where the teen lived and led authorities to Texas where Salas was protecting and serving the public in Matagorda County. According to MassLive:
Salas and the girl began exchanging messages in private chat rooms via Skype and Shapchat and also text-messaged one another. During their conversations, authorities said, Salas repeatedly coerced the girl to send explicit photos and videos of herself. The girl sent Salas hundreds of sexually explicit videos and images of herself at his request. Authorities said he also sent sexually explicit images of himself to her as they communicated on Minecraft.
When investigators started combing through Salas’ digital records they uncovered 1700 calls in one year alone between the cop and the victim he’d been grooming online. He not only controlled her mentally and emotionally but he also had control of her social media accounts. In exchange for her sexually explicit nude photos Salas compensated her:
Salas sent the girl jewelry, Edible Arrangements, iTunes gift cards and gave her access to his Amazon Prime account, court records said.
There were consequences for not fully obeying the officer’s commands too.
Authorities said Salas threatened the girl and said he would harm the victim’s sister if she didn’t obey him. Salas made the girl follow a list of rules, controlled what she wore and did not let her speak to boys without his permission. Salas told the girl, ‘You belong to me. You’re my property so I can treat you however I want, whenever I want.’
In June of 2019, the girl finally mustered the courage to go to Massachusetts police and ask for help. As a result of the investigation, a second victim was identified as another underaged victim. She was also 12 and maintained a cyber sexual relationship with the cop until she was 16.
Although the reports do not mention other victims, in our experience as a police accountability news organization, Salas likely has many more victims. If you or someone you know was abused by Salas feel free to contact the FBI or your state’s bureau of investigations with your claims.
Unfortunately, cops using online games or social media to prey on children is fairly common. As we reported last year, an Okaloosa County sheriff’s deputy was fired and arrested after the mother of a 9-year-old girl caught him trying to lure her daughter to rape her on a popular social media app. The cop, Cansas Sadler Jr., 41, is also a married father who has two daughters.
These cases should serve as a wake up call to parents who let their young children play unsupervised on electronic devices. This innocent 9-year-old girl was playing a simulation game called ‘the wolf,’ which she unsuspectingly thought was harmless. The other victim was playing Minecraft. However, in both instances, child predators found their victims through the games.
I have kids who love Minecraft and we usually have them play together in the same room so that they can look after each other and we can keep an eye on what’s going on.
Jesus warned that if you behaved like this with little children, causing them to stumble, you should have just taken a millstone and some rope and threw yourself into the sea.
Seems a just punishment for this “cop.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-25--One Good Thing about the Lockdown – Homeschooling

One of the few good things to come out of the government-mandated shutdown is that many parents have started homeschooling their children .
Many of these parents are likely to continue homeschooling after the government schools reopen .
Last week , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) did its part to encourage homeschooling when it unveiled “ guidelines ” for schools to follow when they reopen .
Among the CDC ’ s guidelines are that schools put tape on the hallways , directing children which direction to walk and how much distance to keep between themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommends children do not share electronic devices or learning aids .
The guidelines even say children should wear masks at school .
The CDC ’ s guidelines instruct schools to close playgrounds and cafeterias , and to cancel all field trips and assemblies .
Instead , students are to spend all day at their desks , not even leaving classrooms for lunch or recess .
The CDC ’ s guidelines may not have the force of law , but it is likely most government schools will adopt them in order to ensure continued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do this even though children are at a very low risk of being seriously harmed by coronavirus .
In fact , by forbidding children from going outside to play , exercise , and get sunshine , the guidelines actually endanger children ’ s health .
The guidelines also harm children by limiting their ability to interact with their fellow students and develop social skills .
Opponents of homeschooling claim that homeschooled children lack proper socialization .
Like many attacks on homeschooling , the claim that homeschoolers are not “ socialized ” is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Corey DeAngelis recently told journalist John Stossel in a Reason interview that “ children who are homeschooled get much better academic and social results than kids in government schools.
” Mr. DeAngelis pointed out that “ homeschoolers score about 30 percent higher on the SAT test than kids in regular schools.
” Parents looking for a homeschooling program that includes an introduction to the ideas of liberty should consider my homeschool curriculum .
My homeschool curriculum provides students with a solid education in history , literature , mathematics , and the sciences .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ create their own websites and internet-based businesses .
The curriculum is designed to be self-taught , with students helping , and learning from , each other via online forums .
Starting in fourth grade , students are required to write at least one essay a week .
Students also take a course in public speaking .
The curriculum teaches history from a pro-liberty perspective , and the economics section is taught from the Austrian viewpoint .
But , unlike government schools , the curriculum does not compromise education quality or distort facts in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using my homeschooling program develop a love of learning , study superior communication skills , and gain real-world business experience .

One of the few good things to come out of the government-mandated shutdown is that many parents have started homeschooling their children. Many of these parents are likely to continue homeschooling after the government schools reopen.
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did its part to encourage homeschooling when it unveiled “guidelines” for schools to follow when they reopen. Among the CDC’s guidelines are that schools put tape on the hallways, directing children which direction to walk and how much distance to keep between themselves and their classmates. The CDC also recommends children do not share electronic devices or learning aids. The guidelines even say children should wear masks at school.
The CDC’s guidelines instruct schools to close playgrounds and cafeterias, and to cancel all field trips and assemblies. Instead, students are to spend all day at their desks, not even leaving classrooms for lunch or recess.
The CDC’s guidelines may not have the force of law, but it is likely most government schools will adopt them in order to ensure continued access to federal funding. Schools will do this even though children are at a very low risk of being seriously harmed by coronavirus. In fact, by forbidding children from going outside to play, exercise, and get sunshine, the guidelines actually endanger children’s health. The guidelines also harm children by limiting their ability to interact with their fellow students and develop social skills.
Opponents of homeschooling claim that homeschooled children lack proper socialization. Like many attacks on homeschooling, the claim that homeschoolers are not “socialized” is the opposite of the truth. Education researcher Corey DeAngelis recently told journalist John Stossel in a Reason interview that “children who are homeschooled get much better academic and social results than kids in government schools.” Mr. DeAngelis pointed out that “homeschoolers score about 30 percent higher on the SAT test than kids in regular schools.”
Parents looking for a homeschooling program that includes an introduction to the ideas of liberty should consider my homeschool curriculum. My homeschool curriculum provides students with a solid education in history, literature, mathematics, and the sciences. It also gives students the opportunity to create their own websites and internet-based businesses. The curriculum is designed to be self-taught, with students helping, and learning from, each other via online forums.
Starting in fourth grade, students are required to write at least one essay a week. Students also take a course in public speaking.
The curriculum teaches history from a pro-liberty perspective, and the economics section is taught from the Austrian viewpoint. But, unlike government schools, the curriculum does not compromise education quality or distort facts in pursuit of a political agenda.
Students using my homeschooling program develop a love of learning, study superior communication skills, and gain real-world business experience. They also develop the critical thinking skills necessary to see through the lies peddled by government officials and their sycophants in the mainstream media. The skills and knowledge students gain will enable them to succeed in whatever careers they choose to pursue.
Parents interested in giving their children a well-rounded homeschool education that includes sound economics and the history and philosophy of liberty can get more information about my curriculum by going to RonPaulCurriculum.com.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-25--Texas: Yet Another Jihad Attack at a Naval Air Station

On Thursday , a 20-year-old Muslim migrant from Syria named Adam Salim Alsahli drove up to the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas and , according to CNN , “ attempted to rush the security gate with a vehicle.
” Then , after “ security deployed a barrier to stop the vehicle , ” Alsahli “ exited the vehicle and opened fire…and naval security forces returned fire.
” Alsahli was “ neutralized , ” but the threat he represents has not been neutralized at all , because of the refusal of the political and media elites to face it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly every jihad attack is written off as a manifestation of “ mental illness , ” the FBI immediately acknowledged that Alsahli ’ s attack was “ terrorism-related.
” As it turned out , “ officials have identified various social media accounts , which initial reports indicate are likely associated with the shooter….Online postings by these accounts expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ( AQAP ) .
What a surprise .
And Alsahli ’ s attack came only three days after the news broke that “ the gunman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military base in Florida last year repeatedly communicated with al-Qaida operatives about planning in the months leading up to the attack.
” And he didn ’ t just communicate with them .
Attorney General William Barr noted that the Florida shooter , Mohammed Alshamrani , had “ significant ties to Al Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula not only before the attack , but before he even arrived in the United States.
” Like Alsahli , Alshamrani attacked a naval air base , the Naval Air Station Pensacola .
In January 2013 , Barack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ central goal … or have come very close to achieving our central goal , which is to de-capacitate al Qaeda , to dismantle them , to make sure that they can ’ t attack us again.
” Yet here it is over seven years later , and al-Qaeda is responsible for not one , but two attacks on naval air stations in the United States in the last six months .
Leftists will blame Trump , but that ’ s even more ridiculous in this case than it usually is , as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increased America ’ s vulnerability to jihad attack and made sure that there will be many more like those perpetrated by Alsahli and Alshamrani .
These attacks were made possible by Obama-era policies that are still very much part of the institutional culture of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies , policies that are based on the false propositions that Islam is a religion of peace , and that any attempt to discern whether or not any individual Muslim is a violent jihadist , or sympathetic to the global jihad , is dismissed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false assumptions , Alsahli and the Saudi national Alshamrani were able to enter the United States .
Because of these wrongheaded ideas , no one would have dared monitor what was being taught in the mosques they attended ; to have done so would have been “ Islamophobic.
” Anyone around either one of them who had the courage to declare publicly that they were suspicious of them would have been courting personal and professional ruin at the hands of groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations ( CAIR ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incidents of “ anti-Muslim bigotry , ” no matter how spurious .
Even worse , despite these jihad attacks on American soil , nothing will change .
Because of the establishment media ’ s indefatigable commitment to whitewashing the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat , most Americans won ’ t even be aware that they happened at all .
The TV networks are too busy broadcasting the latest documentary on the threat of “ right-wing ” violence to cover attacks of this kind .
Consequently , nothing is more certain than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the two at these naval air stations .
Because nothing is likewise more certain than the fact that anyone who tries to sound the alarm about these events , and to call for measures to ensure that these things don ’ t happen again , will be smeared , defamed , marginalized , and silenced .
So if you ’ re a betting man ( or a betting woman , for those of you reading who are members of the thought police ) , head to Las Vegas now and place your bets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the U.S. – oh , never mind , Las Vegas is busy committing suicide to destroy Trump .
People have so very many things to think about that are far more important than this .
Everyone , that is , except for the likes of Adam Alsahli and Mohammed Alshamrani .

Surprisingly in these times when nearly every jihad attack is written off as a manifestation of “mental illness,” the FBI immediately acknowledged that Alsahli’s attack was “terrorism-related.” As it turned out, “officials have identified various social media accounts, which initial reports indicate are likely associated with the shooter….Online postings by these accounts expressed support for ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
