Coronavirus Dynamics: The Undulating Playing Field

The plandemic has exposed many weaknesses in the system. What has been clearly revealed is its innate classism. Here we can see the composition of the “disposable class.” This is where the struggle for justice must begin

Highlights of Some Contemporary Challenges

History has a way of reminding us that while the good times are great, a business as usual mentality comes with many unforeseen risks and challenges. Good times are in some cases pathways to complacency, apathy for some, and a “winner takes all” attitude. On a positive note, the stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues have turned around many mindsets. There are now significant and unprecedented levels of compassion, empathy, and more, originating from many populations.

There was the first world war, there was the Spanish plague, there was the second world war and for the last 60+ years, we have had to live in a world of misgivings; ranging from populism to political unrests and instability in several parts of the world, primarily the Middle East and some parts of Asia.

When the current Covid-19 started in December 2019, many assumed that like its predecessors H1N1, SARS, different…

Aleppo City’s Countryside Fully Secured, Syrians in Aleppo Celebrate The End of Terrorism

Something to celebrate!

In Gaza

In December 2016, the Syrian Arab Army, Russia & allies liberated the northern Syrian city of Aleppo of the al-Qaeda and equally-heinous terrorists who had occupied and terrorized civilians in the city since 2012.

In the years subsequent, Aleppo to a large degree returned to peace, with rebuilding occurring in the hard-hit Old City, with displaced Syrians returning (contrary to the lies of UK Channel 4, among other war propagandizing media).

Yet, civilians since that Aleppo’s liberation continued to be terrorized by the presence of terrorists in the countryside of Aleppo.

Last year (January 2019), visiting Aleppo, I returned to the Lairamoun industrial district in the city’s west. I had been there in November 2016, had seen the nightmarish underground prison of the Free Syrian Army, used to hold Syrian soldiers and civilians alike, a true dungeon replete with suffocating solitary confinement cells.

In January 2019, I went to a…

Queering the Student Body

Many of us have lost our daughters in terrible ways, but this must be one of the saddest.

How many college students identify as genderqueer, as transgender, as something other than male or female? Short answer: we don’t know.

The Williams Institute of the UCLA School of Law tracks transgender demographics. In 2011, the Williams Institute found that 0.3% of adults identified as transgender. Another analysis from 2016, which utilized data from the CDC’s 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), showed the number of adults identifying as transgender had risen to 0.6% of the population. What about teenagers? Yet another Williams Institute estimate in January of 2017 suggests that 0.7 percent of youth ages 13 to 17 identify as transgender. Teenagers are a difficult population to survey. Dr. Emily A. Greytek, director of research at G.L.S.E.N. thinks…

Guerrilla GRRL

I, too, find it strange to have made it to Cronehood only to discover that there is a plot afoot to turn reality on its head. It’s sad that so many young people are suffering from “gender dysphoria” and that parents are under pressure to “affirm their identities.” This will pass, but not before much damage has been done to both the young people and to our rapidly disintegrating society.

50 Years of NOT Ending Religious Human Trafficking

There have never been so many cults, and yet they’ve become invisible. They’ve been disappeared. But the suffering goes on in a social atmosphere where suffering has simply become normalised.

Women’s gym receives unwelcome visit from “Dick Surprise”

This “person” has a lot of balls. Two, in fact. Two too many.

writing by renee

A Wellington women’s gym has received a sign-up request from an unexpected source.

Dick Surprise, who identifies as a non-binary pansexual Wellingtonian, sports male genitalia but claims to be a “woman inside”.

“I walk past this gym all the time,” Surprise told reporters. “And it really bugs me. Sure, men may control and dominate almost every aspect of social life from the military, to politics, law, business, finance, media, academia, most households and sports in general – and at women’s expense. Okay, I get it. I already know that, because I am a feminist, actually probably the biggest feminist you could ever meet.” In his own estimation, Surprise is one of the country’s most prominent and underrecognised feminists, alongside Gavin Hubbard, who has won gold representing New Zealand in women’s weightlifting.

“But it is 2018. After thousands of years of patriarchy, people who were assigned male at birth just for…

Gender Fascism And The Elderly Female Artist

The fact that “moderns” cannot see older women is an unpleasant, even an agonising reality for many of us, but it does not change the fact that there is so much tempered creativity in us. Many of the young social justice activists are keen to defend the rights of all kinds of marginal(ised) groups, while we’re at best completely invisible to them; at worst, we’re relics from what they think are less enlightened times.

QotD: ‘The India Effect’

Bring on the “anger, resentment, and almighty, explosive backlash.” We need a righteous response to hellish problem.

Anti-Porn Feminists

This season has seen the phenomenon turned up to eleven however, and me riveted to all and any interaction between India Willoughby, a news presenter, journalist, and trans woman, and the various other housemates. Now I do realise, yes, that trans women are not a monolith, and I don’t doubt there are many in the trans community have been watching Willoughby alienate as many viewers and potential allies as possible from between their fingers, just wishing she wouldn’t. But still, she has, and the uncomfortable truth is that in her behaviour, I can recognise instantly a near perfect microcosm of some of the larger trans activism I have been observing over recent times.

For seven days I have remained glued as a group of adult women, all trying their camera ready best to be as respectful and supportive as possible, attempt to deal with a sulking, bullying, manipulative, and aggressive…
