Above: To be very clear, I have no problem with gay people--men or women or anyone else; I judge people based on their character and actions, which have nothing at all to do with sexuality--but I *DO* have a HUGE problem weaponizing anything--sexuality, religion, race, or anything--in a gang-like atmosphere to rape kids, murder people, and threaten to kill others who speak out, allegedly. The wording used is the podcaster's own, not mine, and allegedly what the people in question call themselves. The focus should be on the alleged sexual assault of boys, violence, murder, drugging, threats, and harm without any legal consequences.
3-10-21: How to Know the Truth About Meghan Markle's Alleged Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Oprah's Money-Driven Deceit
Meghan Markle and Oprah are both awful: Oprah has twice given airtime to proven liars and alleged Narcissistic Personality Disorder'd creatures: Wade Robson (false Michael Jackson accuser) and Meghan Markle ("yacht girl"/prostitute-turned-former Royal). She defended herself about giving airtime to Michael Jackson's fake accusers saying that, "For me, this moment transcends Michael Jackson. It is much bigger than any one person. This is a moment in time that allows us to see this societal corruption” yet 1) didn't contact ANYONE related to Michael or his team for their take on this; 2) We're to believe that she never heard ANYTHING about Harvey Weinstein, despite starring in and producing movies that his company distributed? And that she STILL doesn't KNOW ABOUT DAVID GEFFEN, alleged Hollywood p3d0ph1le of boys, whom she says is a close friend and goes yachting with?
Why is Meghan Markle bad?:
Alleged Narcissistic Personality Disorder'd Meghan Markle's PR team, run by Harvey Weinstein’s publicist, once again trying to make her look human. Many psychologists, even on YouTube, have called out her Narcissistic Personality Disorder and clearly see the games she's trying to pull in the Western press--the perpetual victimization, the using and discarding of family and friends, use race as a fake "red herring", the neverending self-centeredness that lashes out at others for perceived slights or wrongs and puts herself, not God, as the center of her universe. Here's the reality:
1. She is a former "yacht girl" (i.e. a prostitute for rich people) and can be found in photos online on yachts with the likes of Prince Andrew from the 90's or 00's-yes, the same Prince Andrew that hung out with Jeffrey Epstein the pedophile/rapist/sex trafficker/psychopath. https://                  thelondonroyal.                      tumblr.                   com/post/627904830729568256/does-meghan-markle-have-connections-to
2. Her best friend of 30 years said she how badly Meghan treated her first husband led to the end of their friendship.
3. She treated longtime Royal staff terribly and more than 6 of hers quit since she joined the Royal Family (before she and Harry left). One staff member went on record and said, “she was a nightmare to work with.” Reportedly, the Queen had to take her aside and inform her, "That's not how we treat people here," and Meghan, instead of apologizing, said she was used to dealing with Hollywood assistants.
4. She ended her second marriage by mailing her rings back to her husband when she was on location filming. That's how he found out their marriage was over. (And FYI, she's been married 3 times-the first was annulled.)
5. Her father had 2 heart attacks and nearly died, and she didn't even call him. Yes, he made mistakes, but instead of forgiving him, she abandoned him. She also cut off the rest of her entire family minus her mother. He is still paying off her college loans, by the way, as the line about her "working her way through school" was complete BS. Even when she was on "Suits" and earning a steady paycheck, she didn't consider paying off her loans herself.
6. It was reported Meghan “the humanitarian” kicked homeless people off the streets on her wedding day.
7. She abandoned her oldest dog before moving to London.
8. A former friend of hers said Meghan was looking for “a FAMOUS English man” to date before she met Prince Harry.
9. She reportedly cheated on her last boyfriend *with* Prince Harry.
 
Why is Michael Jackson innocent?
1) “This will make me relevant again” “I am the master of deception “ “It’s time for me to get mine” -All Wade Robson's words from his emails revealed in his civil court case that was thrown out due to lack of evidence.
2) Other kids there with the 2 accusers--including Wade's cousin--deny anything happened.
3) Sexual abusers statistically have around 10 x's the number of victims who come forward publicly--no one else has come out except these two, who testified FOR him under oath
4) Wade's wife was about to leave him as they'd gone through their entire life savings while writing a movie and then a theatre show and having turned down many high-profile projects, in order to do so.
5) Wade faced bankruptcy and had a nervous breakdown--and then, suddenly, MJ abused him.
6) search on Youtube to find Wade choreographing a master class to Michael’s music in 2012—the same year he alleges he “realized” what happened to him “was abuse”-and yet, he’s teaching and using his rapist’s music for dance instruction?:
7) Rather than pursue any legal route, Wade’s first action was to attempt to get a book deal telling his abuse story. Publishers didn’t deem him as credible as he had no evidence, so, not wanting to be sued, they passed.
6) James Safechuck has a VERY pricey lawsuit pending against him and is pretty much flat broke.
7) The train James Safechuck alleges he was abus3d/r8ped in was not built until 6 years after he says the abus3 happened in it...
8) MJ set up Wade with his niece, Brandi, when they were around 12, because Wade had a crush on her. They were together for 7+ years until Brandi found out Wade cheated on her with Britney Spears (Remember Britney and Justin Timberlake breaking up? Wade was why and the guy referenced in "Cry Me a River".) Additionally, she found out Wade was also cheating with an unnamed very famous married celebrity and an UNDERAGE girl. To the documentary's point, this goes completely against Wade's claim that MJ only wanted Wade to himself and was "jealous" of him with girls.
9) From the earlier lawsuits: It's common to pay out in lawsuits, even if the person is innocent, because it's cheaper to pay out than pay the attorneys and expert witnesses, travel, etc. costs for a trial--settling being an indication of guilt is a common fallacy. MJ wanted the case to go to trial but his attorneys pressured him to settle hoping to shorten its cycle in the press for his career’s sake. They settlement never admitted guilt and says so. MJ later said not pushing to take it to trial was one of his biggest regret’s in life.
10) Some former staff members told different stories under oath than they did when they were paid by the tabloids. They said they didn't see anything under oath but said salacious things when they were paid by tabloids. Interestingly, those NOT paid by tabloids have always maintained MJ did nothing, and they saw and heard nothing, including those who worked for him in the years this “abuse” went on.
11) The FBI investigated MJ for over 10 years and found NOTHING. They can find Saddam Hussein in a hole but found NOTHING to charge Jackson with in more than a decade of looking.
12) The "child p0rn books of little boys" some tabloids mentioned in the first trial were actually art books, you know, like Greek and Roman art books, and were not in ANY WAY child p0rn0gr8phy.
13) Former writers admit to being told by their bosses to make up anything about the previous MJ child abuse cases because it sold more papers/magazines.
These just a few things--please look, there are many MJ fans with easily accessible information, but you have to look as the media has never apologized for when they did him wrong before and with #MeToo--for all its good-they are bandwagon-ing for ratings and clicks once again.

11-4-20: How to Heal the US Partisan Divides The USA, for the worse of everyone in it, has never been divided as it is now since the Civil War, much of it due to political posturing and demonizing from both sides. And are we a stronger, better, safer country for it? Heck no!

Don't get me wrong--call out evil and denounce it. But make sure it's actually evil and not just an opinion that differs from yours. And make sure you apply morality to both sides, not just the one you disagree with. If you are one who says, "All the __________ are ___________________" or name calls the other side,
you are part of the problem. This also applies to you if you reactively and defensively dismiss any facts that you don't like that don't fit in with your preconceived opinion about an issue or person. How old are we that black and white "us versus them" thinking, a logical fallacy, and rooting for our "team," which is childish, high school behavior, is the way to live and get along in a modern country?  Fix yourselves and those around you. Man up (and woman up), admit you've made mistakes, own them, and apologize. Be better and do better. Change your hearts and minds instead of just bemoaning the state of the country if you are part of the problem. God bless and forgive us all, and God bless America.

One of the blessings in doing this project is the opportunity to help companies doing really significant work for people in the world who deserve justice for wrongdoings perpetrated against them or their loved ones. Last week, I received one such contact from Florin Roebig, a litigation (law) firm focused on those who have been victimized or taken advantage of, particularly those affected in a sexual or sexually violent way. They recognize that, "Most of our clients are not able to afford lawyers so we provide all of these services for free. Because of our passion for community involvement, we've been able to give back to those around us but wanted to help others by using our experience and gathered knowledge to create informational resources. No matter the time or place, no one is ever prepared to be sexually harassed. It can be one of the most alienating feelings for victims, and most of the time there can be a feeling of having nowhere to turn for support after such a traumatic experience. Safety and some type of stability should always be the number one priority, but building yourself up with valuable information should be next. It is as an opportunity to shed light on some of the most common questions we hear from victims, such as:
  • What Is Considered Sexual Assault?
  • Is Sexual Assault Considered Rape?
  • What Are My Rights After A Sexual Assault Incident?"
It's with this in mind that I'm proudly sharing their helpful, educational resource with you. I urge anyone--woman, man, transgender person--faced with such difficult work situations to take action, not only for yourself, but in advance of their inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior toward others. Make the world more equitable for all. <3

TheSimpleDollar.com saved you the legwork by "creat(ing) a guide in an effort to combat climate change by helping readers figure out how to invest in sustainable companies, identify 'greenwashing', and divest money away from companies that are harming the environment."  Faceless, soulless corporations wreaking having on the environment, our health, and the world's security; put your dollars where your mind and heart are, instead.

a) The Nightmare Before Christmas: Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween Town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween -- but alas, they can't get it quite right. (imbd.com)
b) Bedknobs and Broomsticks: When young Charlie, Carrie and Paul move to a small village during World War II, they discover their host, Miss Price, is an apprentice witch! Although her early attempts at magic create hilarious results, she successfully casts a traveling spell on an ordinary bedknob, and they fly to the fantastic, animated Isle of Naboombu to find a powerful spell that will save England!

10-17-18: How to Determine Which American Neighborhoods Offer Kids the Best Chance to Rise from Poverty and Have Success in Life Using the Opportunity Atlas
The Opportunity Atlas answers this question using anonymous data following 20 million Americans from childhood to their mid-30s. Trace the roots of today's affluence and poverty back to the neighborhoods where people grew up. See where and for whom opportunity has been missing, and develop local solutions to help more children rise out of poverty. For non-Americans, although this does not detail your countries or communities, the factors that affect future potential are fairly common worldwide, so you can still learn a lot from using this tool.

How to Overcome Trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder): This is a potential continuation to last week's post on sexual assault, although this is also a standalone post on, as PTSD is a common aftereffect of violence of any type. Disclaimer--I am not a doctor, none of this should be construed as medical advice, and it's almost always best to seek out help from a trained, licensed counselor.

What is PTSD? From the AMA, PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, abuse, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assault.

10-3-18: Sexual Assault, Rape, Healing, Post-Assault Dating for Men and Women, How to Deal With Kids with this Trauma, and Tori Amos:
10-3-18: I have included the songs above as the singer-songwriter, Tori Amos, was the co-founder of RAINN, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network way back in 1994, after her own experience with sexual assault from a bar patron after a show where she'd just performed. The song "Me and a Gun," is about that experience, and "Silent All These Years," is about her inability to mentally and emotionally process the event for awhile after it occurred. Both songs are from her debut album, Little Earthquakes. The songs were such a touchpoint for fans that Tori was often inundated with stories from young women and men sharing their own sexually traumatic experiences. After finding she was legally stymied from intervening to help them in most instances, she decided she needed to focus her efforts on a broader approach; hence, RAINN was born. For you or anyone you know who may need assistance, from crisis intervention to referrals for long-term support, call toll-free at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). Calls are free, confidential, and lines are staffed twenty-four hours a day with trained counselors.

And Americans, unless it gets a last minute delay, the vote is tomorrow for Net Neutrality. Read up on Net Neutrality and CONTACT YOUR REPS AND SENATORS NOW and tell them to NOT support this! If you use the internet personally or for business, THIS AFFECTS YOU!
To those who don't understand what Net Neutrality is and why it's important:
If this is overturned by Trump's FCC appointee (who was VP of Verizon Wireless Communications and is close friends with the telecommunication lobby), Internet users will be required to pay internet providers to not throttle websites (slow down the speed to nothing at their discretion, for any reason or none at all, or block websites entirely of their choosing, with asking or alerting you) that won't pay or can't afford to pay the providers ransom for the "privilege" of having the sites available or having them available for viewing and using at a decent speed. That means no one except for huge billion-dollar corporations will be able to afford to have its websites and businesses available on the web for customers and normal internet users to access. This means businesses and people who have websites will be forced to pay for having their content and businesses available to customers and normal internet users and ISPs will be able to charge for things like sending and receiving email. They will also be able to block any and all websites they choose, for any reason. This will block any new start-ups and small businesses from making money online or uses the web to solicit customers or advertise. ISPs will also be able to monitor any websites you visit or use and sell that information to any companies it wants, without your permission.

11-15-17: How to Build Awareness of Fake News

11-08-17: How to Combat Racism
11-01-17: Today's topic is a highly sensitive and fairly unknown one, due to its graphic nature, but it's time to talk about it because of the news cycle of the past weeks. And it's long. But it's worth it and very important, so please bear with me.

Personally, I am not fans of "celebrities." I do not care what they wear (except Gwen Stefani and Girls' Generation, who sometimes inspire my own fashion choices and are always so cool and lovely <3), or pay attention  to what they do in their lives. I am not a gossip consumer. I haven't watched a fictional film in years, so I'm not enamoured with actresses or actors and don't know who many of them even are. I have no idea what movies are popular. However, like many of you, I do care for the truth (though I must put a legal disclaimer here saying that this is all my opinion only, and everything is an allegation). That said, here we go... 

With all the Harvey Weinstein stuff coming out lately, Hollywood is doing some reflecting (and also some [alleged] back-pedaling, some enabling, some covering of one's own asses to save one's own careers [i.e. Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, but YEA! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Rose McGowan], as this IS Hollywood, after all). One aspect is still being underreported though, and it involves many entertainment industry heavy hitters who own, or are friends with people who own, produce, or operate the media (and no, I do NOT go for conspiracy theory bullshit--this is real though [ahem...for legal reasons..."allegedly"], which is why I'm posting on it). These powerful and important media people don't want to implicate their friends or colleagues, so they are deliberately not leading with these stories. A rare exception was Megyn Kelly (though she is desperate for guests because her show isn't doing well, and you'll see why after watching her absolutely horrendous job interviewing her guest, Corey Feldman, two days ago.) Please watch this interview.

(And to answer some of the questions that Corey addresses in the interview, but keep coming up regardless: the statute of limitations has expired to file charges [it's only 10 years in California], and he would be sued and bankrupt if he stated the abuser outright. As for her saying "Truth is a defense against slander," yes, it is; however, that doesn't mean that people with hundreds of millions of dollars can't play the long game and bankrupt you in court--it happens ALL THE TIME, and Megyn Kelly has clearly never run a business or been an attorney, as she never would have asked such a silly question...)

So, on to Corey Feldman. Corey was a American child actor superstar in the 80's--he and his friend Corey Haim. (For the record I have never seen a single film either did, so no, I'm not some deluded fan.) For years, they were Hollywood's "IT" boys--kings, beloved, had roles for days--imagine a Justin Beiber level of popularity, but in actor form--that was the "two Corey's." Well, during this time they were (allegedly) molested. And Corey Haim was (allegedly) raped. (Allegedly) by well-known people in Hollywood. Who are not in jail. Who are still working today. Who are making movies all of you buy tickets too or shows you download from Netflix or programs you watch on TV. You are accidentally helping support this stuff...So, today's resource is to give a voice back to those tens of thousands of boys and girls who have been victims of this disgusting, cruel, evil in our society in pursuing their dreams, and it is--How to Stop Rampant Child Pedophilia in Hollywood

For more information on these (alleged) pedophiles including Bryan Singer (X-Men director), Hollywood agents and photographers who WENT TO JAIL AND THEN WERE RE-HIRED BY COMPANIES LIKE NICKELODEON WHO ONLY MAKE CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING AND WORK EXTENSIVELY WITH KIDS, watch Amy Berg's documentary Open Secret legally on Vimeo or illegally on YouTube, which didn't find distribution, despite having massive buzz and praise at 2015 film festivals because the people in it threatened to sue and keep the case tied up in court, so the film would never see the light of day. It was almost impossible to find online nearly three years ago (2015), but I happened upon it and downloaded it wayyyy back then, as it kept getting flagged and taken down, but people have uploaded it onto YouTube in the last year and the production company is allowing people to view it for free on Vimeo in light of recent events, and  the take-down campaigns seem to have waned, thankfully.

10-04-17: This week's resource is a self-resuscitation. Sorry for the self-repair, site readers. All religions (or none) can imbibe, if you'd like. This world and its people sometimes (me included)...
09-27-17: An important topic for you and yours: in life, we all sometimes get overwhelmed with stress or sadness and will turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism, thinking it "helps" us somehow, by very temporarily dulling our pain. Long-term this never works out, as the root problems lie in wait until the alcoholic buzz has worn off, and are still there, staring us in the face, and affecting our lives for the negative. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration sponsors September as "Recovery Month" in the U.S.A. , though we are drawing attention to it here for anyone across the world who is suffering from the disease of alcohol addiction, or knows someone who is. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is focused on spreading awareness regarding effective treatments of alcoholism, as the World Health Organization estimates that approximately 3.3 million people die each year from alcohol abuse. This could be you, a friend, or family member. So arm yourself with compassion and knowledge with this Alcohol Rehab Guide. And because you can never have too many valuable resources, find help thanks to the Addiction Center too.

09-13-17: Here is how to best donate to those affected by Hurricane Irma. This is at the *local* level, not some Red Cross nonsense (though good people work there, the organization completely lacks the ability to respond to domestic aid crises, yet still collects donations, delays help for weeks to locals because it's not "how they are structured to operate," and uses funds raised for disaster relief for other projects. )
[Again, this isn't political--I listen to anything and everything--but this happens to be true on a left-leaning site:
Red Cross Doesn't Know What Percentage of Aid Goes to Harvey
see also: Haiti and Superstorm Sandy ])
Also, on another note, here is how to handle a hurricane as recovering addict, for you and yours.
09-06-17: Sometimes we need little reminders about how to be the best family members we can. Here, is one: how to be the best granddaughter.
08-30-17: Most dogs are awesome additions to expand your family. On the occasion you get a mean one, here's how to ward off a dog attack.
08-23-17: Many of you may be embarking on new life journeys and that can often involve mixing and mingling cultures and minds. In consideration of that, here is how to best interact with different people, from around the world.
08-16-17: Sometimes, when we become overwhelmed with stress, or untreated mental illness, we try and drown out outside pressures or quiet the criticism in our minds in the beckoning decay of drugs. We are told drugs will quiet our demons, give us a sense of indestructibility, remove the broken parts of our life and replace them only with a high. It’s a false narrative though, only lies. Drugs offer fake, temporary solutions that abandon you and your originals problems once their effects wear off and create new problems because—you’re now a drug addict. There is no issue so bad that it is worth potentially permanently ruining or ending your life with drugs and bringing hell into the lives of the people you care about.
 
If you’ve finally reached the point where you are ready to turn your life around from drug abuse, then turn inward and start with these solid resources:

07-26-17: Know how to cook? Or need more dishes to prepare? You're in luck with twenty-four easy recipes you can master in no time.
07-19-17: No matter your age, if you have any assets or family, you need to have an up-to-date will and testament. Taking on the taboo that drafting one somehow hastens illness or death is based on fear, not fact. Wills aren't morbid; they are simply a legal tool to make sure your loved ones and friends receive what you intend for them to have when you pass on and that relatives are properly cared for in the manner you wish. I realize not all countries have such procedures in place, but many do including  Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Cyprus, Ecuador, France, Italy, Libya, Niger, Portugal, Slovenia, the Holy See, Iran, Laos, the Russian Federation, Sierra Leone, the U.K., and the U.S. Even in countries that don't, you might consider drafting one, to make your wishes clear to loved ones, since death can often bring about high emotions that can lead to lots of stress and family fights.

04-16-17: Whether trying to win over a coworker to help you with a project at work or persuading someone to help you with an idea to change the world, learning how to tell a story is essential.
