I do my best ‘writing’ while I’m driving or riding my bike! (And then struggle to get the words out when the computer is in front of me.)
One of these days we need to address how Trump broke people’s brains. Democrats got so hysterical about Trump and the ‘death of democracy’ that they fail to see the evils of their own party. I’m continually astounded by the people around me who still believe the Democrats are good people. I did not and would not ever vote for Trump...but looking back at his presidency, I struggle to think of anything he did that is as horrific as what Biden is doing now.
I don't think Trump broke brains, it was how the media spun him. Without the incessant psychological manipulation that he was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to this country, he probably still is an obnoxious person who lacks the integrity a president should have, but sure better than the deeply entrenched whatever-it-is that's running thru Biden the nearly-dead puppet, and wouldn't have taken up so much space in people's heads and emotions, with this drummed up hatred. Which was an easy string of manipulation later. Associate the first known covid treatment with Trump, and make sure it's ignored or mocked, instead of listened to.
Much rather someone with integrity like Robert F Kennedy Jr could be president - the media hates him even More than Trump, he will stand stronger and prosecute for the covid crimes, like denial of treatment.
But much of the spin around Trump was way exaggerated. The media lies about so, so, so much. Now they're even mocking Sound of Freedom. They go as low as it's possible to go.
Everything reeks of dishonesty, from puberty blockers being "pause button" to everything they're saying about RFK, Jr,
And this is the same thing the covid docs went thru. Legit research being retracted for BS reasons. This has the tragic irony of being retracted for "lack of informed consent" - in submitting (probably anonymized) *Information*. While the study itself shows the lack of informed consent in submitting *Bodies / bone marrow / breasts / fertility, genitals, etc, etc*, to the gender cult.
"Unfortunately, Springer Nature has succumbed to activist pressure and retracted a paper titled “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria: Parent Reports on 1655 Possible Cases.” . . .
The findings further support the theory that increased gender dysphoria may be a “socially contagious syndrome.” In a recent article for City Journal, Colin Wright details the retraction of the paper, which involved multiple arguments on the part of activist researchers. It began with the paper’s ethics-approval process, which turned out to be a nonissue. Then an open letter was put out calling for ASB editor in chief Kenneth Zucker to be removed for having published the study. A counter-letter sponsored by the Foundation against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR), with 20 times as many signatories, including Stanford professor of medicine Jay Bhattacharya and NYU psychologist Jonathan Haidt, came out the same day. The pressure then shifted to a bogus claim — by Springer itself — that the study’s participants did not provide written informed consent to have their data published in the article. The parents had been enthusiastic to provide information about rapid-onset gender dysphoria and consented to having the anonymized results published online, but Springer claimed that this consent didn’t extend to print publication (even though print-publication standards for anonymized data are stricter, and thus safer, than those for online publication).
Springer’s retraction reflected double standards and inconsistent application of policies. The publisher claimed that it would investigate 19 other papers that had similar consent standards, yet these investigations are taking much longer. Wright notes that thousands of papers published by Springer would be unlikely to meet the standards proposed for this one, including those cited by supporters of “gender-affirming” care."
Thanks for sharing this, Ben. I'm sorry, I haven't followed your newsletter closely so I didn't have any of these details. I had seen a promotion for one of your online interviews, where the copy ended with, "Ben became victim of another cult." I didn't understand what "another cult" meant. I'm glad to know you have found a mission, and friends who support it. I wish you nothing but the best. Cheers.

Read about this here, this parent is writing & asking for letters to the CEO of Springer - https://pitt.substack.com/p/what-ive-learned-this-year
Much appreciate your writing, Ben .. heard of you from one of Heather Heying's articles ..
This is a bold position to take. Which cult got ahold of you? Do you need help to escape?
Funny, I actually escaped one.
That was my sort of my question. Which one did you escape?

Thank you, Doug.

Not nearly as edgy as what you are doing. But still, I hope it helps someone.
