A doctor rapes a patient. The victim reports it. THE DOCTOR ADMITS IT. He tells a hospital committee that it was a "one off" and he will not do it again. THE MANAGEMENT SAYS THAT IS OK. And allow him to carry on working. THE POLICE TAKE NO ACTION. The hospital concerned is the BLACKPOOL VICTORIA HOSPITAL. The same hospital where a 75 year old patient was raped to death and no one was ever convicted for it. Are women worth nothing to the NHS? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c172…

No male teacher or lecturer should be wearing prosthetic breasts or padded bras to work It's sexual harassment Involving non consenting persons in his fetish Utterly inappropriate & disrespectful to girls & women
“We expect everyone involved in teaching to maintain appropriate professional standards and to treat students with respect.” That was Oxford University's response when [Un]Captured asked about a male tutor wearing giant prosthetic breasts to work. Biochemistry lecturer Matt Rattley has kicked off the autumn term with new photos wearing his infamous ‘norks’ - including one in a lecture theatre with students. The university declined to discuss individual personnel matters. Full story at [Un]Captured 👇

🚨BIGGEST HEALTH BOMBSHELL YOU’LL SEE TODAY: Dr. Peter McCullough, MD: “Children Who Are Completely Unvaccinated Are The Healthiest.” “In the modern day, going natural, meaning no vaccines whatsoever, the child is healthier.” Here's the science to back up such vaccine injury: • 2020 study on 1,827 kids: Unvaccinated children had significantly lower rates of asthma, ear infections, ADHD, allergies & neurodevelopmental disorders. • 2017 study (6,000+ participants): Vaccinated kids were 4.5X more likely to have asthma, 22X more likely to need allergy medication & over 30X more likely to have allergic rhinitis. • New Zealand survey (over 200 unvaxxed kids): Almost ZERO chronic illness – no asthma, no eczema, no seizures, no diabetes. • Amish study: Autism rate roughly 1 in 15,000 vs national average of 1 in 31. The fully unvaccinated are winning health by a landslide. Parents are waking up FAST. When did you wake up? Were you always on the side of truth, opposite of big pharma? Or was 2020 COVID '2 weeks to flatten the curve' your wake up call?

What incredible bravery from Joanne Young. She waived her right to anonymity after being drugged and raped by Tory councillor Philip Young. He also allegedly “advertised” her to be raped and sexually abused by other men who are not on trial. He has admitted his guilt. He shackled and blindfolded her and she thought she had had a nightmare. Hideous vile man. This is the second such case in British courts in the same month. How often is this happening? That we don’t yet know about?! telegraph.co.uk/gift/8989736…

"Aren't we all exploited in our jobs", "at least you're not scrubbing toilets", "you'll get rich quick and see the world"... Literally what a lot of media and commentators have claimed for years about OnlyFans (and the sex industry in general). Straight from the pimp's playbook

There are quite a few lawyers critical of wording of bill in terms of lack of clarity as to when offences are committed. As we need neither the criminal courts nor family courts clogged up further with inappropriate proceedings (which can be private prosecutions) needs more work

Une petite fille est née en Géorgie d’une mère porteuse pour un couple allemand. Elle est venue au monde avec des troubles neurologiques. Ses « parents d’intention » ont décidé de la laisser là-bas. Abandonnée. Aujourd’hui, elle vit dans une section d’hôpital pour bébés nés de GPA et rejetés. Des infirmières la bercent, des bénévoles lui apportent des peluches tricotées. Voilà la réalité de la GPA : des contrats signés, de l’argent échangé, et des enfants jetés comme des produits défectueux.
A German couple ordered a baby from a Georgian surrogate. The child was born with neurological defects. They left her behind in Tbilisi. She now lives in a hospital ward for abandoned surrogate babies. This is surrogacy.

‘Sex work is a special hell that men have created for women’. Or ‘The costs of selling your soul to survive: it’s priceless’ By an anonymous prostitution survivor “When I prostituted myself, it was to subsist and survive, not live lavishly. I wasn’t buying extravagant things, or living my best life. I was eating whatever was available at the gas stations at 2am and washing it down with a bottle of cheap vodka; hoping whatever god on this earth would do me the small favour and kill me with alcohol poisoning to release me from the waking hell I was in. I would get close to blackout drunk praying to whatever kind benevolent being would end this nightmare in my sleep. I’d wake up the next morning disappointed I was still alive. I didn’t care about living at that point. Living was just too painful for me. The amount of hurt I was in, the suffering I had to keep quiet on, was too much for me to bear. Yet I could never actively harm myself in the sense of taking it into my own hands. I just wanted to be gone. I was in hell. Pure hell. I can’t speak publicly because no one knows the truth, but at least I can say it here. Sex work is a special hell that men have created for women. It’s not empowerment, not once did I feel empowered. I felt like dying each moment I was still involved. I hated every man involved. I dreamt of strangling them in my sleep. Yes, every man who’s reading this and is watching porn or hiring prostitutes, I hate you. I wished in a just world, you would be taken from society, because whatever person I could’ve been at this point in my life is gone; you’ve killed her, and now here stands her corpse; ridden with all the scars, and imbued with all the pain, shambling lifelessly, pretending that life is normal. I am not the only one, but men like you killed me, in the sense that whatever hopes and dreams are dead, whatever happiness gone, and you did it for the sake of your pleasure. I hate you.”

I'm a psychiatrist and a dad. There are 3 types of medications I'd be extremely cautious about giving my kids. Not because kids don't suffer. Because once you understand what these drugs do to a developing brain, you can't unsee it. 1. Antidepressants (Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro) About 1 in 20 American kids take them. When the FDA looked at all the trial data, kids and young adults up to 25 had higher rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors on the drug than on placebo. They're studied for 8 to 12 weeks, never beyond a year. Median real-world use is 5 years. And juvenile monkeys given Prozac had brain changes that didn't reverse years after the drug was removed. 2. ADHD meds (Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse) The youngest kids in a classroom are about 40% more likely to be prescribed them. We may be medicating immaturity. Stimulants don't improve academic performance. Kids just feel more confident about their work. The behavior benefits faded by about 3 years in the largest long-term study. And kids on them ended up about an inch shorter on average. 3. Antipsychotics (Abilify, Seroquel, Zyprexa) The ones that worry me most. In my experience, kids often end up on them to treat side effects of other drugs. In monkeys, they caused an 8 to 11% loss of frontal lobe volume. About 5% of patients a year develop tardive dyskinesia, involuntary face and mouth movements that can be permanent. I've seen people gain 50 to 100 pounds. What I'd do first: → Look at the home. Do therapy as a family. → Fix diet, sleep, movement and sunlight. US kids get about 60% of their calories from ultra-processed food. → For hyperactivity, try parent-child behavioral therapy. → If it isn't dangerous or severe, take a breath. Love them, stay present, and give it time. My message isn't never use medication. It's that this is a serious decision, so do the non-drug approaches first. If you're struggling, call or text 988 (US) or your local crisis line. Comment TAPER and I'll send you my free safe tapering guide.

Scientists put more than 60 baby monkeys on Prozac. Some changes were still there long after the drug was stopped. We can't ethically randomize children to SSRIs. But researchers at UC Davis and the NIH did it with young monkeys, at doses matched to what kids get. The monkeys started at about 1 year old (roughly age 4 to 6 for a human), took Prozac for about 2 years, and were followed for up to 18 months after. What they found: 1. Sleep. More night waking, more fragmented sleep, less deep sleep. It persisted after stopping. 2. Social behavior. One study saw less dominance and more submissive behavior, during and after. 3. Attention. More errors on sustained-attention tasks, and it persisted. It makes me wonder how many kids on SSRIs later get labeled with ADHD. 4. Emotion. About 40 to 45% fewer emotional reactions. In my experience feelings usually come rushing back after people come off. 5. Brain. PET scans showed lasting changes in the serotonin system into young adulthood. Monkeys aren't kids. But they're the closest thing we have. Pregnant, or considering an SSRI for a child under 18? Treat it as a very serious decision. Don't let anyone rush you. Try non-drug options first. And if your child is already on one, never stop it suddenly. Taper slowly with their doctor. Comment TAPER and I'll send you my free safe tapering guide.

The UK averages 159 rainy days a year and ranks fourth in Europe for rainfall volume. The last major reservoir was finished in 1992. Since 2017, the privatised water companies have sold off at least 35 reservoirs and bulk storage sites. The government have now been warned that “Day Zero” – empty reservoirs – could arrive before Christmas. We are a damp island that somehow managed to privatise the rain, sell off the storage and then act surprised when the taps run dry. The corporations took the infrastructures, paid the dividends and left us with a hosepipe ban and a warning about water rationing at Christmas. And meanwhile, successive governments let this happen while enabling enormous data centres to guzzle up huge amounts of water and energy Yet another example of the UK being turned into a corporation asset grab at the public’s expense. This is not just government negligence. It was a choice.

“No one is prescribing antidepressants just because someone went through a breakup, lost a job, or lost someone close.” I can say with confidence that this is categorically untrue across a range of different countries. Not only that, it is common practice to be described SSRIs without any diagnosis after a 5 min appointment.
People have always gone through hard times. Severe depression has been around for a long time too. What is different now is that we can better tell when ordinary sadness has turned into something that lasts and gets in the way of daily life. No one is prescribing antidepressants just because someone went through a breakup, lost a job, or lost someone close. Those are painful situations, and people usually need time, support and sometimes counselling. Major depression looks different. The low mood or loss of interest sticks around, sleep and appetite change, energy drops, thinking gets harder, and the person struggles to manage ordinary tasks. The risk of suicide also goes up. Trials with large numbers of people show antidepressants work better than placebo for moderate to severe depression. The improvement is not the same for everyone, and some people don’t respond, but quite a few do when the medicine is chosen carefully and reviewed. Therapy helps as well, and many patients do best with both. Grief and ordinary sadness need room. Severe depression usually needs treatment. Calling them the same thing leaves a lot of people without useful options.

Interesting article by Alan Cassels. bit.ly/4ikOtsc. Don’t “ask your doctor if (Drug X) is right for you.” You can be sure that a drug rep has already seen your doctor, so your doctor says what Big Pharma says. US Health Secretary Bob Kennedy has wanted to ban drug ads for prescription drugs to the public for a long time but it is difficult because of the 1st amendment about free speech. Drug ads to the public are extremely harmful and a major reason why the US, in contrast to Europe, has had no increase in life expectancy since 2012.

So, it's now against the law to do something you haven't done yet but you might possibly do it sometime in the near, medium, or far future? Am I understanding this correctly?

I'm not even sure how to properly capture this but the U.K is imposing new "Respect Orders" with associated penalties that could include up to two years in jail. They can hit you with those Respect Orders if you "are likely" to distress someone. That leaves the gates wide open for the thought police to toss your a$$ in jail for pretty much anything. "Courts can impose a Respect Order where there is evidence that a person has engaged in, or is likely to engage in, behavior causing harassment, alarm or distress, and where an order is necessary to prevent further anti-social behavior."

Why should a pensioner on a £13K income be exempt from income tax when a person of working age is not? Those of working age do not receive free travel or all sorts of other discounts to which pensioners are entitled. We do not exempt people from tax based on how many dependents they have, or how much housing in their area costs, so why exempt individuals based on age?
John Healey, the chancellor, is expected to announce a 3.9 per cent rise to the full state pension while protecting those on lower incomes from income tax thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
