The biggest problem humanity faces is the corruption of our systems.

Who is doing the corrupting? Who cares. There is no reason to fight over what label to call these people. We just call them "The Corruptors."

The solution is to stop the corruption by building new systems that are much harder to corrupt. For example high trust, radically transparent, and decentralized systems for group problem solving called "collective intelligence" or "human swarm intelligence" systems. Then we migrate to these new systems in order to solve humanity's collective problems. If you never heard of these, and re looking for a solution to this madness, take a moment with us.

Voting merely gives people a choice.

That choice is centralized and thus corrupted.

There is a better way.

Collective intelligence systems give people a voice.

And a testable way to make wise, empathetic, rational and reasonable decisions together.

We can fix this. All of this. We just need a movement focusing on the right problems. And carefully examine the weaknesses of those who are doing the corrupting. The Corruptors do not like it when we build our own decentralized systems.

Like so:

The only specifics that are important is that bad people are corrupting our systems. We fix this by making new systems that are harder to corrupt. If your house keeps getting robbed it doesn’t matter if you lock one of the burglars up if you never buy better locks, security systems, and arm yourself.

We fix problems with better systems. Not better people.

You have seriously missed the fucking point of Caitlin's article. Although if you do want to talk about 'the genital mutilation industry' then you should be concentrating on the evil trauma that is 'circumcision'. Category A child abuse. Stage one in the trauma-based mind control indoctrination.

If you want to drone on about your fucked up anti-trans agenda then why don't you write your own onanistic post about it, then get all your followers to reinforce your bigotry. I would imagine that here on Caitlin's newsletter you are only inviting a dogpile. And quite rightly so, because you're part of the very reinforcement mechanism employed by the abusers and propagandists she is highlighting.

Agree that MGM is almost as abusive as FGM.

Genital mutilation is bad.

Guess what mangling someone's penis to appease their delusion about which sex they are is.

Evelyn K. Brunswick's avatar

What makes you think it's a delusion?

Remember the human brain is gendered, because males and females behave differently, and behaviour is governed by the brain. A sense of 'identity' is solely the product of the brain, not the body, because 'awareness' is in the brain.

Sometimes, like 1 in 10,000, a child is born with a gender-configured brain which is at odds with the physiological gender which is determined mainly by chromosomes. Brain gender is not governed by chromosomes. It develops epigenetically and can be adversely affected by e.g. exposure to excess hormones during gestation. If this happens, you get a male brain in a female body or a female brain in a male body. That's called 'gender incongruence'. It's simply a very rare medical condition. It's not a 'choice' and it's not a 'delusion'.

There are the scientific/medical facts.

Whether you choose to ignore those facts and remain a bigot or not is now entirely up to you. Either way, have a nice day, eh?

One thing I've noticed with people like you is your tendency to aggressively project. It's very psychologically revealing. It's also a sign of spiritual immaturity, because you need some authority to tell you what to think, or feel, or believe. You're incapable of normal, rational common sense thought. You are a very young soul, and as such, infantilised.

Furthermore, you are so wedded to these beliefs that when you feel those beliefs are threatened (with common sense, rational thought) you feel personally threatened, so you resort to ad hominem attacks.

You see, psychologically mature human beings don't need to be told. And they have the ability to do something called 'critical thinking'. Likewise, they can do their own research. You clearly know nothing about the medical condition known as 'gender incongruence', but more importantly, you have not bothered to actually educate yourself about it. If you had, you'd know it's just a very rare medical condition (about 1 in 10,000 prevalence), characterised by a disorder of brain development. In a dimorphic species like humans there's a male and female, and this applies to brain configuration as much as physiology. Sometimes the two develop incongruently. It just happens. There's a tried and tested treatment pathway (starting with all-important puberty blockers) which, unfortunately, can only treat the symptoms (gender dysphoria) not the underlying condition - it's impossible with current technology to change the gender of the brain or body. To deny a child with that condition puberty blockers is to force them through puberty, and the irreversible changes associated with it. That's abusive and cruel.

If you understood even the basics of neuroscience you would understand this. Your bigoted transphobia is the equivalent of saying children with leukemia are a threat and should be denied treatment. That's called child abuse.

You say there are 'zionists' 'promoting' trans issues. Well, are there not zionists on every side? It's called sowing discord. It's also 'whataboutery'. It doesn't matter what your zionists are doing, it's the issue that matters.

One of the reasons this issue is important to me, apart from basic moral principles, is because the issue of child abuse matters to me personally (I am a victim/survivor of childhood abuse). For you to equate gender care services with child abuse is itself abusive. It's the denial of gender care services which is the abuse.

And the chances are - also ironically - I know far, far, far more than you will ever do about the global child abuse network.

So I suggest, if you are capable of it, that you try and educate yourself, rather than blindly believing what you have been manipulated into believing (which goes back to the point of Caitlin's article - it was clearly aimed at people like you).

Evelyn K. Brunswick's avatar

1/ It's ironic you bring transhumanism into it and then accuse me (and others) of being secret Zionists because the transhumanism-transgender conspiracy theory is one of those far-right anti-semitic tropes. And it's bullshit. Maybe it's because of the prefix 'trans' ? If so, and you genuinely believe it, then you're even dumber than you look.

2/ You people always bring this 'detransitioning' rubbish into it. The best you can do though is come up with a few anecdotes (same thing applies to the 'transwomen are a threat in bathrooms rubbish'). As soon as you are confronted with proper statistics you lose the argument. For example, there was a (British NHS) study of 3,000 transgender post-treatment people, of which only 16 expressed lack of total dissatisfaction (which is just dissatisfaction, not total regret, let alone detransition). That's 0.53%. So we're talking about a treatment pathway with a 99.47% success rate. Name me another treatment pathway with a 99.47% success rate?

See, that's what it comes down to - medical ethics. And you're on the wrong side. This relates to that awful Keira Bell, and her handlers, who pretty much succeeded in preventing thousands of children with a rare medical condition from having access to the life-saving treatment they needed. Many of them would've committed suicide, so Bell and the handlers (and you who support them) literally have blood on their hands, as well as child abuse.

One of the worst things about you people likewise is that you masquerade as 'being concerned about children's welfare' when it's actually the complete opposite.

And I'll repeat what I said - you are the very type of person to whom Caitlin's article was aimed. You weren't born a transphobic bigot, so where did you get it from? It was given to you. And you never questioned the veracity of the propaganda nor the motivations of the people doing that propaganda. You are the one who has been successfully conditioned into bigotry. Obviously you will never be able to admit that, because that would be humiliating for you.

CrumpledForeskin's avatar

Lumping trans people into a sex predator category is where your argument goes cold. Why the fuck do you care about them so much? Because you’re too fucking stupid to see past propaganda.

The genital mutilation industry????

Jim Jackson's avatar

There is a video, recorded at a medical conference, in which a female physician speaking to a large audience of physicians is singing the praises of trans surgery because it is a cash cow due to the need for multiple follow up surgeries. I saw the video and was appalled at the forthright admission. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to the video.

Rosalind Dalefield's avatar

It exists in the USA, where doctors make extra money by pushing circumcision of neonates.

Males, not females, I assume. If your healthcare wasn't a business, perhaps medics would be less quick to remove body parts that may become infected and get them sued later ....,

Slightly Lucid's avatar

If you don’t want a trans kid, don’t have one.

Evelyn K. Brunswick's avatar

Neither you nor the child have any choice in whether they are trans or not. It's a medical condition characterised by a disorder of brain development. Same as sexuality. You don't get to choose whether you are hetero, L, B, G, or whatever.

Bigotry often stems from ignorance. Innocent ignorance I can possibly forgive. Wilful ignorance, absolutely not.

Slightly Lucid's avatar

Evelyn, I know that. That's why I dismissed him with a one-off. You will not convince these people with science. It's a waste of time.

Listen, we are allowed to argue publicly about this issue. We are NOT allowed to argue about Israel.

This issue is EXACTLY what Caitlin is talking about. This is a manufactured distraction. Of course real people are going to get hurt, but both parties feel trans people are useful, in the same way Roe was. Or 'Super Predators' were during the drug war. Or 'Welfare Queens' were during the Reagan era. You manufacture fear of an other, and 'the adults' laugh their asses alll the way to the bank.

I can promise our leaders do not actually give a fuck about this except as it serves as a wedge.

You do realise you are making the exact same argument that anti-abortionists made for overturning reproductive rights? “You need to sit down and speak to the young women who regretted their abortion.” - Yes, some women regretted it. So, my rights are stripped from me? Because you love women? Get outta here.

How do you feel about the war in Ukraine, the slashing of the social safety net, the rise of global totalitarianism? See, that’s a REAL issue.

CrumpledForeskin's avatar

You’re such a propagandist, it’s fucking ridiculous. The fact people are even talking to you about this non-issue, shows just how stupid people are. Villainizing trans people is part of the fascist game plan. People trying to incite hate towards anyone but the true evil.

It should not be a religious or cultural right for anyone to alter the genitals of a minor, except if it is necessary to allow the child to urinate normally. Both FGM and circumcision of minors are reprehensible.

Circumcision should be prohibited. It's category A child abuse. Remember they do it at 8 days old. It becomes an internalised trauma, which results, after indoctrination, of hatred of the other/strangers, as well as irrevocably destroying the mother-child bond. Explains a lot, psychologically.

No 'god' would ever demand such an evil, child-abusive practice. That's not a god, it's a demon pretending to be a god. By gaslighting his followers into doing one of the most evil things imaginable - abusing their own children - he is essentially succeeding in getting them to do anything evil. As we are seeing in Palestine.

A right to torture and injure? Are you for real? MGM should be illegal worldwide, just as FGM mostly is!

Mary Wildfire's avatar

It may be a cultural/religious thing but it IS harmful to children and should be blocked. I refer to male neonatal circumcision, not FGM which is an atrocity that should be blocked everywhere. Males survive their infant circumcision with no evident harm done, but survivors of FGM are horribly mutilated.

Rosalind Dalefield's avatar

Males don't survive their infant circumcision with no harm done. Their pain threshold is permanently altered. Their likelihood of growing up to be rapists is increased. Their risk of meatal stenosis is hugely increased; 37% of men who have been circumcised develop some degree of meatal stenosis. Their risk of erectile dysfunction by the time they reach their forties is also very significantly increased.

Zionism is a threat to us all.

Levi Tate's avatar

Netanyahu's War (2023) has caused many "Israelis" to pack up and leave "Israel".

❖

How will "Israel" get them back, once and if, there is relative calm some day?

❖

"Israel" was supposed to protect Jews.

❖

Even though they are blind to Netanyahu's intentional October 7th false-flag,

"Israel" has lost it's luster as a

protective place.

❖

❖

How will they get back their population? They must demonstrate that the US and

elsewhere are no more safe than "Israel".

❖

❖

Will this not create the condition for more Zionist treachery?

❖

The US, Brit and EU have demonstrated so clearly to Netanyahu that he can

get away with killing his own and they will cover for him.

This encourages him to commit more betrayal and treachery.

And not just against his own. Americans, Brits, etc are

also at heightened risk from Netanyahu.

❖

In 2017 Mossad and Five Eyes conducted a terror operation. They made hundreds

of threatening phone calls to Jewish community centers (JCC), mostly to

the US but not exclusively. The terror operation began just before Trump's

first inauguration in January 2017 and lasted into March. With all the

capabilities of Five Eyes (and CIA, NSA, FBI) they claimed to be stumped for weeks,

but all the newspapers and politicians blamed Trump MAGA white supremacists.

❖

Finally it was revealed that the calls were coming out of "Israel". "Israel"

ended up producing a fall guy - a Jewish, dual-citizen, teenaged, drug dealer with a

brain tumor. Right. Sure thing.

❖

People were scared out of their wits, but no one was physically hurt.

Jewish community centers were awarded millions from Congress to beef up their security.

(Who audited this?) And were not asked to return the money when it turned

out not to be a white supremacist after all.

❖

Bottom line, I don't think "Israel" will try to pull the same phone plot again,

any time soon.

❖

In 2010 Saudi Arabia pulled a false-flag designed to smear AQAP in Yemen.

They mailed bombs in printer cartridges. The Saudis were heroes as they had

managed to get the tracking numbers for the packages and alerted everyone to be

on the look out. How do you get package tracking numbers unless you are close

enough to smell the breath of the person mailing the packages?

❖

Saudi Arabia chose to send the packages to Jewish synagogues near Chicago.

GET THIS. They didn't want to send the packages to any synagogues that

had influential members, yet the "antisemitism" canard would get a boost,

nonetheless. GET THIS. One package was mailed to a LGBT-oriented congregation

that had been graciously given a space inside of a church. HOW DID YEMEN

TERRORISTS FIND THAT ONE? Could they have targeted a less influential

group than that one? The second bomb was mailed to a CLOSED DOWN synagogue.

❖

"Israel" used false-flag terrorism over the decades to receive many of it's citizens.

Will "Israel" get back it's citizens by duplicating the Saudi plot or

will they choose bigger targets to terrify Jews with?

Rosalind Dalefield's avatar

I don't think Israel will get many of its emigres back. From what I've read, Israeli Jews who have relocated to places like Thailand and Portugal are enjoying the peace and security so much that they are wondering why they didn't move years ago.

Caitlin, because you said it so well, I'm going to repeat this part from your article ->

"Muslims are not a threat to you.

Russia is not a threat to you.

China is not a threat to you.

Trans people are not a threat to you.

Immigrants are not a threat to you.

----

The US empire is a threat to you.

Your own government is a threat to you.

Oligarchs are a threat to you.

Nuclear brinkmanship is a threat to you.

Ecocide is a threat to you.

War and militarism are a threat to you.

Tyranny is a threat to you.

I will add that (a) Neoliberal Capitalism is a threat to you, (b) Billionaires (and their lackies) are a threat to you

Thank you Caitlin!

The root cause of all our problems are the system that profits the very few at the expense of the many, our societies and the environment.

These people want us blaming other people to detract from what they're doing.

And we need solidarity with each other in order to change this incredibly harmful system.

Thanks so much for posting.

It is not a fight between the left and right.

It is not a fight between the Democrats and Republicans.

It is a fight between the 1% and 99%.

It is a fight between the haves and have nots.

We must not take our eyes off the ball. That is the purpose of scapegoating, that is the ultimate goal of getting us to fight each other,

that is the distraction while the rich and powerful pull our strings. That is Reagan blaming the welfare queen. I take my inspiration from the great Muhammad Ali, who was arrested for draft resistance, sentenced to 5 years in prison, banned from boxing, fined $10,000, and who said: I will not go 10,000 miles away from home here in America to drop bombs and bullets on other innocent brown people who's never bothered us and I will say directly, no I will not go 10,000 miles to help (to) kill.

Capitalism is good. She's really talking about socialists. She just doesn't know it.

Also, yeah it's the rulers to blame at the top. But they have a bunch of minions. Just look at George Soros and the open society foundation, they send a bunch of protrans trolls out onto the internet and into various facilities to push the boundaries of what men are allowed to do.

They send trolls in meat space into women's bathrooms and film the results. You don't think women get assaulted by dudes in dresses in the restroom? Go look up that website theysaythisneverhappens (dot) com. Have fun.

The ruling bloodlines send their dirty little soldiers after the good people at the bottom. Are we supposed to just let the former bash on us because the ones attacking are not the rulers? That's ridiculous.

Punching up means you punch up to the next layer above you. Another thing we can do is refuse to tolerate the troll scumbags around it trying to push creepy agendas.

We can't reach the ruling bloodlines yet. The structure has not fallen far enough. So in the meantime, we are going to lay absolute waste to anyone who works for them.

Deal with it. Or cry. We are doing it anyway. And succeeding.

Yes, dear Caitlin, things are exactly as you write. A handful of people control the money because they control the banking system that creates money from nothing through loans with interest. With that money, they control information (propaganda), economics, politics, science, technology and, therefore, public and private institutions, their governments and their structures. In essence, that handful of people control consciences. They create problems already having in mind what to say to address them (for example, first they created the vaccine and then the virus), always with the same strategy: to maintain power. And since it is the material conditions that determine or at least condition consciences, the only way to change consciences is to change material conditions. It is possible to start doing it with EkaBank. Just read to understand. www.ekabank.org.
