Okay, here's something important.


Attachment Therapy - Child abuse and murder disguised as "therapy"


The above is a link to the latest post over at dark_christian. I'm posting this link because this is something that I believe should be exposed and talked about as much as possible. It's a horrific trend, albeit it a limited one (thank the gods), that must be stopped, and according to the poster over there, the best thing we can do to help is spread the word. So I'm doing that.

You may remember the brief little news flurry a while back about Candace Elizabeth Newmaker, a ten-year-old who died while enduring abusive "therapy" treatments. She was one of the victims of this shit. I'm not going to go into any details about it here. Suffice it to say that, reading through the entry and then going to the new site therein linked that's been opened to inform people of these atrocities, I got sick. Literally. I started feeling buzzy and dizzy and nauseous. It is completely beyond me how such monstrous behavior could even be possible. It is even more beyond me why this is not being talked about in the national media. Where are the investigative journalists? Where are the congressional hearings? Where are the supposed "child protectors"? How can this keep happening without riots? Because if you want to get a look at people who actually deserve to be lynched, take a look at the stories posted on that site. I don't often feel the literal desire to disembowel someone, but you better believe I'm feeling it now.

Please spread the word about this. The best hope for putting a stop to this insanity is for the public to find out what's going on. I'm especially calling on those of you who have journals elsewhere - GJ, IJ, Facebook, etc. - to get the word going outside of Livejournal. There are innocent kids being murdered, in cold blood, by scum who are heartless enough to think they know what's "best", even when that includes abuse and torture. That can't keep going on.

As the Dude said, "This will not stand, man. This aggression will not stand!"

Here's a doozy:


23% of people polled in the UK believe that Winston Churchill is a myth.


You read that right: Winston Churchill. A myth. As in "never existed". And that's not all, either. It gets even better.

What's that you say? Nobody could be that idiotic? Look, it makes my head hurt too much to explain. Just go read it.

I'm bored today. You can tell, can't you?

So I'm watching this documentary called Blood in the Face, about the Klan and other such Neo-Nazis, and...oh, the STUPID. It roasts me.

Hearing these people actually holding forth on their bigoted, moronic ideas is actually kind of enlightening. A couple of years ago I picked up a copy of Mein Kampf, which I wanted to read because I believe in finding things out for myself, and damn but I could not make it past about 15 pages. What a badly written book! I'm not talking about the substance, which is awful enough, but just shitty writing. Still haven't managed to pick it up again.

So actually listening to these people spewing is something of an eye-opener. I mean, what am I supposed to think about somebody who says stuff like, "We want people to know white people are intelligent, and we don't need no porch monkey telling us what to do!" and doesn't get why that's so grotesque? It's bizarre, like I've fallen into some weird-ass wormhole and ended up in an alternate universe. Not because I think humans don't have capacity for awfulness, but just because it's so brain-bendingly STUPID. STUPID STUPID STUPID. And all the shite about ZOG and the Protocols of Zion and miscegenation and "loving your own kind" and sweet Jesus, it goes on and on and on.

But like I said, I'm glad I'm watching it, if for no other reason than hearing their arguments from their own mouths. I'm a great believer in know thine enemy and seeing it yourself. Being informed and all that. And yo, you can never know too much about lunatics like this.

And you know, I sure wish I could be there when they meet up with Jesus. Have they got a surprise coming!!

Still though...ARGH. ARGHARGHARGHARGH. WHY must I share DNA with these yahoos???

By way of dark_christian, here's an amusing way to spend your Saturday night:

I'm just watching footage of Richard Gere being burned in effigy over in India.


Richard Gere.

Being burned in effigy.


The world has officially gotten too weird for me.


ETA: This made me ROFL -

Jon: Where would you even get a Richard Gere effigy?

Aasif: Well, you just take a Josh Hartnett effigy and age it about 30 years.

The Crocodile Guy is dead!


Whoa, bummer! Seems he bought it while on one of his wildlife documentary expeditions. Stingray barb to the heart.

Man, I really liked him. He was a bit doofy, but his enthusiasm for animals was great.
