Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/2/2017

Italy has imposed a “code of conduct” on NGO vessels that rescue migrants in the Mediterranean, demanding that they cease activities that aid and abet migrant traffickers. A ship owned by a German NGO refused to sign off on the new rules, so it was kept in port and impounded by the Italian authorities.

In other news, the latest statistics show that 22.5% of the German population — more than one out of every five Germans — has a “migration background”.

Arrest Warrant Issued for Northwestern Professor in River North Murder

CHICAGO (WLS) — Arrest warrants have been issued for a Northwestern University professor and a University of Oxford employee for the murder of a 26-year-old man last week in a River North apartment.

Wyndham Lathem, 42, and Andrew Warren, 56, are both considered armed and dangerous. They are wanted for first degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of 26-year-old Trenton Cornell-Duranleau.

They were last seen driving a 2007 grey Hyundai passenger 4-door vehicle with the Illinois license plate number of Z181268. Anyone who has seen the car or suspects should take extreme caution and either call 911 or Area Central Detectives at (312) 747-8380.

Cornell-Duranleau was found stabbed to death last Thursday in the Grand Plaza Apartments on State Street in the city’s affluent River North neighborhood…

Court: Residents Can’t Mention “Islam” Or “Muslim” At Public Hearing on Mosque Construction; Thomas More Law Center Files Federal Lawsuit

ANN ARBOR, MI — In a settlement agreement, which reads more like an instrument of surrender, Bernards Township (“Township”), New Jersey officials agreed that, in addition to a $3.5 million payment to Islamic Society of Basking Ridge (“ISBR”), residents and citizens of the Township are prohibited from commenting on “Islam” or “Muslims.” at the upcoming public hearing to approve the settlement. Astonishingly, a federal judge approved the prohibition as a fully enforceable Order of the Court.

As a result of this suppression of speech, the Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, yesterday, filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey Federal District Court on behalf of Christopher and Loretta Quick. The lawsuit was filed by TMLC affiliated New Jersey attorney, Michael Hrycak. Mr. Hrycak was assisted by TMLC staff attorney, Tyler Brooks. The TMLC is representing the Quicks without charge.

TMLC’s lawsuit alleges that Bernards Township’s settlement agreement constitutes a prior restraint on speech based on content, as well as, a violation of the Establishment Clause because it prefers Islam over other religions. The lawsuit asks the court to: declare that the settlement agreement is unconstitutional; and to enter a preliminary and permanent injunction against its enforcement…

President Trump’s Department of Justice headed by Jeff Sessions is moving against the cultural Marxists who’ve hijacked our nation’s universities.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants,according to a document obtained by The New York Times.

Gas Explosion Rocks Minnehaha Academy; Critically Injuring One, Search on for 2 People

Two people are unaccounted for after partial building collapse; fire crews are on the scene fight the flames and looking for victims.

A natural gas explosion late Wednesday morning rocked Minnehaha Academy’s upper school in Minneapolis, causing a partial building collapse and leaving two people unaccounted for and injuring five others, fire and school officials said.

A third person believed to be missing was found uninjured at about noon. All of the injured people were adults. One is in critical condition.

The building near E. Lake Street in the 3100 block of West River Parkway has collapsed to some degree, and fire crews are on the scene extinguishing the blaze and looking to remove any people who might be trapped, officials added.

Media Completely Ignores Bombshell Seymour Hersh Revelations on Seth Rich

The mainstream media is completely blacklisting any mention of the bombshell revelations by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh about murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, in which Hersh explained how Rich was Wikileaks’ source for the DNC leak and how the “Russian hacking” story was completely concocted by former CIA director John Brennan.

In an audio tape obtained by Big League Politics, Hersh says he saw an FBI report leaked to him by an insider which confirms that Rich had contacted Wikileaks with sample emails from the DNC leak and asked for payment for the full data dump.

“All I know is that he offered a sample, an extensive sample, I’m sure dozens of emails, and said ‘I want money.’ Later, WikiLeaks did get the password, he had a DropBox, a protected DropBox,” he said. They got access to the DropBox,” added Hersh.

Special Counsel Mueller Adds Another Obama Ally to His Team

With each passing day, it’s looking increasingly like the only people qualified to serve on Special Counsel Mueller’s investigative team are lawyers who have either directly worked for and/or contributed to the campaigns of Barack Obama and/or Hillary Clinton. As Reuters points out today, Mueller’s latest hire is Greg Andres, a former DOJ attorney who was appointed during the Obama administartion and served under Attorney General Eric Holder.

A former U.S. Justice Department official has become the latest lawyer to join special counsel Robert Mueller’s team investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, a spokesman for the team confirmed.

Greg Andres started on Tuesday, becoming the 16th lawyer on the team, said Josh Stueve, a spokesman for the special counsel.

Most recently a white-collar criminal defense lawyer with New York law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, Andres, 50, served at the Justice Department from 2010 to 2012. He was deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division, where he oversaw the fraud unit and managed the program that targeted illegal foreign bribery.

Spineless Jellyfish: After Everything That Has Happened, Does Being a ‘Republican’ Still Mean Something?

The spineless Republicans in Washington have been compromising for so long that it seems like many of them don’ t really stand for much of anything these days. I was 10 years old when Ronald Reagan won the 1980 election, and ever since that day I have considered myself to be a conservative. Even at such an early age, Reagan’ s message resonated with me, and I felt that I clearly understood what it meant to be a Republican. But now I’ m not so sure. Many of the Republicans in Congress are often doing the exact opposite of what Reagan would have done, and this is confusing a lot of people.

For example, just look at the Obamacare debacle. For years, Republican politicians have pledged to repeal Obamacare if we would just give them control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. So we did that, and Obamacare still has not been repealed. Many are pointing to John McCain’ s shocking betrayal on Friday, but the truth is that the effort to do something about Obamacare has been a disaster from the very beginning.

Instead of simply repealing Obamacare, Republican leadership in the House and in the Senate attempted to “ replace” Obamacare with a slightly less odious version of Obamacare. But that isn’ t what we wanted, and that sure isn’ t what we were promised.

I still remember the days when the Republican Party actually believed in free enterprise. Free markets work exceedingly well when you take the shackles off, but for some reason Republicans in Washington don’ t seem to want to apply free market principles to our health care system.

The United States Has Become a Nation of Sheeple

You can either follow the herd of you can decide to find your own path. One of the things that greatly frustrates me is that so many Americans allow other people to do their thinking for them. We have become a nation of sheeple, and the vast majority of the shepherds that we are relying on for guidance are frauds and imposters. The blind are leading the blind, and we are slowly but surely committing national suicide. If a lot more of us don’ t start to learn to think for ourselves, I fear that the vast majority of the population will never wake up until it is far too late.

Let me ask you a very simple question.

What is on your mind today?

If you are not preoccupied with work or with family matters, then you are probably thinking about something that you have been fed through the mainstream media. Just think about this for a few moments. When you are sitting around the dinner table or you are chatting with someone at work, what do you tend to talk about? If you are like most people, many of your conversations will be about something that you saw on the news, a new movie that you just watched, or a sporting event that has just happened.

Most of the time, we believe that certain things are important because someone else has told us that they are important.

And the most prominent voices of all are the six gigantic media corporations that control about 90 percent of the news, information and entertainment that we get through our televisions. I know that statistic is a bit hard to believe, so let me share a little excerpt from a fact checking website called truthorfiction.com…

The War on Cars is a War on the Consitution

Owning a car gives you freedoms the government doesn’t want you to have

Automotive expert Lauren Fix, known as “The Car Coach”, explains why governments prefer citizens who use public transportation over people who drive their own cars.

Environmentalists and big government have teamed up against automakers, costing companies and consumers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Due to government regulations car prices are raised, hurting middle class Americans who wish to purchase vehicles.

One hypocrisy is that electric vehicles produce three times as much toxic pollution as gas powered ones after factoring in the mining of rare earth minerals that batteries for electric vehicles require.

Owning a car is an important part of American culture that should not be overlooked or regulated by control freak politicians.

They Love Globalism and I Know Why

I wonder how young people would feel if they were forced to suffer such deprivation of food and freedom in a war or in a tyrannical government like communism, theocracy, or fascism? Would they still be so willing to be multicultural globalists?

I was seated recently at a table of educated Romanians, late twenties and early thirties, lawyers, businessmen, teachers, engineers, doctors, and lobbyists for various globalist non-profits in D.C.

We were celebrating the success of Romanian-Americans, a diaspora composed of individuals who belonged to my generation that escaped communism and others who were recent arrivals and successful entrepreneurs, people who won the citizenship lottery, or remained in the U.S., following their education in Ivy League schools. These young people have not experienced the tragedy of having to grow up under communism Romanians are generally very smart and make exceptional students — it is easy for them to get an education abroad, especially in the U.S., on full merit scholarships.

I watched and listened to my interlocutors speak with reverence about socialism, communism, and the need to have a communist global government and global citizenship in order to promote the rights and freedoms of all people, no matter where they live.

These young people have not experienced the tragedy of having to grow up under communism; they only knew what was taught to them by teachers and books written by academic socialists. By the time Ceausescu’s tyrannical regime was gone, they were small children, babies, or not yet born.

Their parents chose to shelter them from the horrors of communist life; they grew up in a relative free and abundant life. Democracy to them was how to make a quick enterprise at the expense of generous grants and investors. Opportunity knocked very hard and they responded quickly — adaptation of the fittest.

Grandparents perhaps spoke with nostalgia about the times when they were paid so little and had no freedoms but a cement roof was assured over their heads and a stale loaf of bread on the table.

This New Piece of Legislation Could Demolish State Gun Control Laws Across the Country

Over the past century there has been one undeniable trend working against gun rights. Put simply, as time goes on, it’s harder for a law abiding citizen to own and use a firearm, largely due to the proliferation of state and federal gun laws. A hundred years ago, one could own pretty much any firearm without restriction, and buy a firearm without even a background check (though of course one argue could that a few of these laws are a good idea). Now it’s a heavily regulated industry.

And sure, there have been some victories for the Second Amendment. A few decades ago there were only a handful of states where it was fairly easy to attain a concealed carry permit, and even many deeply conservative states didn’t issue these permits at all. Now that situation has completely reversed, and continues to improve. However, when you look at gun rights on a long enough timeline, it’s obvious that the Second Amendment has lost more than it has won, as state and federal laws have chipped away at our rights little by little.

Fortunately there is a new piece of legislation that could significantly roll back the worst of these laws on the state level, in particular the laws that were put in place under the Obama administration. The Second Amendment Guarantee Act, which was recently proposed by New York Congressman Chris Collins, could prove to be the most significant attack on gun control laws that we’ve seen in generations. According to a press release issued by Collins’ office:

“This legislation would protect the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers that were unjustly taken away by Andrew Cuomo,” said Collins. “I am a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and have fought against all efforts to condemn these rights. I stand with the law-abiding citizens of this state that have been outraged by the SAFE Act and voice my commitment to roll back these regulations.”

SAGA would provide an intimidating bulwark against gun control advocates in blue states. In a nutshell, it would prevent these states from passing restrictive laws that exceed the scope of federal gun laws.

‘Real’ People Want Govts to Spy on Them, Argues UK Home Secretary

Magical thinking meets willful ignorance at closed meeting

UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd kicked off a firestorm in the tech community Tuesday when she argued that “real people” don’t need or use end-to-end encryption.

In an article in the Daily Telegraph timed to coincide with Rudd’s appearance at a closed event in San Francisco, Rudd argued: “Real people often prefer ease of use and a multitude of features to perfect, unbreakable security.”

She continued: “Who uses WhatsApp because it is end-to-end encrypted, rather than because it is an incredibly user-friendly and cheap way of staying in touch with friends and family? Companies are constantly making trade-offs between security and ‘usability,’ and it is here where our experts believe opportunities may lie.”

The reference to “real people” struck a nerve with a host of security experts, sysadmins, privacy advocates and tech-savvy consumers who took to Twitter to point out that they were real people, and not ISIS sympathizers — as Rudd implied in her piece. Rudd essentially declared that people who use strong encryption are not normal, not real people, which is a rather dangerous sentiment.

Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology Caught Tampering With Climate Change Data

As time goes, on its becoming harder for any rational person to believe that man-made global warming is a real threat. The foundation of this notion built on data that climate scientists from all over the world have collected. However, it’s been shown time and time again that this data is often flawed and manipulated. It’s not easy to take climate change seriously when the supposed experts are cooking the books.

And that’s exactly what appears to be going on. Just last month, a research report that was peer reviewed by MIT and the EPA, showed that the Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) data produced by NASA was being “ adjusted.” Just about every time a new version of GAST was introduced, the adjustments to the data showed a steeper warming trend. How convenient?

But that is hardly the only example. Recently Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology was caught tampering with temperature data. According to the Daily Caller:

Meteorologist Lance Pidgeon watched the 13 degrees Fahrenheit Goulburn recording from July 2 disappear from the bureau’s website. The temperature readings fluctuated briefly and then disappeared from the government’s website…

So basically, this system is supposed to weed out extreme temperatures shifts that are abnormal and not representative of overall trends. That makes sense. You wouldn’t want rare anomalies to skew the data. But in this case, the system essentially deleted a cold temperature reading that wasn’t as extreme as another reading that was eventually kept.

It erased one supposed anomaly, and recorded another that was even more anomalous. Ask yourself, does that sound like the kind of mistake that a computer would make, or does it sound like t

That “working group” was made up of “gay” activists, one of which was Dr. Candace A. McCullough, a lesbian who successfully attempted in 2002 to produce, for the second time, a deaf child by artificial insemination, using sperm from a deaf donor. Both she and her lesbian partner, Sharon Duchesneau, are deaf.

“It would be nice to have a deaf child who is the same as us,” Duchesneau, who carried the baby to term, told the Washington Post two months before the baby boy, named Gauvin, was born. “I think that would be a wonderful experience. You know, if we can have that chance, why not take it?”

Bill Maier, vice president of Focus on the Family and himself a clinical psychologist, told the Baptist Press: “Every responsible psychologist in the APA should be ashamed; the organization is obviously more concerned with appeasing its powerful gay lobby than it is with retaining any semblance of moral and ethical duty.”

    • Could this be related to Defebd Europe/C-Star/MMSI 457381000 approaching?

      The exitement of the two ladies quite corresponds to that crazy story. Hard to believe what all has has been tried to stop the mission, starting with PayPal blocking their account, forcing them to buy fuel on the black market … Parts of governments are envolved in people trafficking.

      What the ladies could not yet tell: the activists boarded the boat in international waters — some fishing boats brought them out from Cyprus — and yesterday the C-Star could be spotted south of Crete.

  1. On the DOJ under Sessions, now targeting discrimination against whites – which had become so blatant under the previous administration’s nod of approval that even to the simpleton it was outright prejudice. So now I’ll just grab a few beers and a bag of fresh, hot and buttery popcorn, and sit back and enjoy watching a few more liberal heads exploding. Grin.

    • You won’t have the luxury. They are fighting back. White discrimination seems only natural to them. While you sit back with popcorn, they are using their SJW degrees to exterminate you. You think you’ve done your part, but if survival is at stake, there’s no such a thing like “done enough”.

  2. On Assange taunting Macron: How is it fraud to access or extract what is put across the internet via an email server if the hacker has no intention of keeping what he has gained for his own personal use, but instead, has made it public?

    And ‘Breach of correspondence’ and ‘identity theft’? Really? And on a system that is obviously easily hacked, and is therefore not secure?

    I think that Boy Wonder, Macron, is having nightmares.

  3. Charles Galton Darwin once noted that if you have two regions and one has a low birthrate and the other a high one then the latter will eventually absorb the former. It is a rule of biology. The Europeans have embarked on a humanistic and consumeristic mindset that sees childbirth as one of many options in life. Unless they start having babies (same goes for the USA) they will eventually just become a footnote in history.

    • Let’s not discount that bearing and raising children in a quality home environment has become hugely expensive for young Westerns.

      The invaders could care less, so their expense burden for each child is much lower. Plus, they are subsidized with massive freebies, paid for with tax money stolen from the aforementioned young Westerns by their own government.

      It is almost as if Western governments want to disincentivize one group from reproduction and incentivize the other.

      I wonder why, and to what end?

      • The aim is to destroy the Western family which is the bulwark and citadel of Western culture. Under attack is the traditional role of the mother, who was the main teacher of values. (‘Educate a woman and you educate a family’.) In Islam and other Third World traditional communities, women are far more at the mercy of their men and are less well-educated and so more easily manipulated.

        Feminism, the contraceptive pill and economic independence liberated Western women from their biology and led to the increase in broken homes and dislocated, confused kids.

        To complete the process of deconstruction, the Left is now confounding traditional gender roles and sexualizing children at a young age. The pornography industry is booming. Sex dolls are now mainstream and this promotion of sexuality divorced from reproduction is in full throttle. Soon reproduction will take place in the laboratory, as is already happening in China and for the first time in the USA, genetic modification of an embryo was reported a few days ago.

        To what end? So that humans will no longer experience themselves as an integrated whole. Historically, this experience of ourselves was given meaning by the Judeo-Christian concept of personhood. Soon, we will more resemble fragmented, partially humanized ‘robots’, which enables interface with real robots much easier.

        The Muslim invaders will be like chaff in the wind. Once the Globalists have control, populations will be moved from place to place according to global labor needs. Perhaps the primitives will be used as jailers?

        Who profits from such an abomination? The Globalists! We will provide their labor. A few of us will be selected to become part of their elite, but only when we have been bred for a certain type of intelligence – cleverness but not free-thinking.

        It seems like a dystopian fantasy – and I believe it is. Soddom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Babel was ruined and so has every other civilization which sought to out-engineer the Creator. Ours is shaping up to be the worst offender yet, displaying the greatest hubris.

        We will suffer for it, unless we can defeat these power-ravenous elites!

        • I agree with almost everything you state, but I see the Ummah as locusts upon the wind rather than chaff.

  4. Three terrorists who called themselves the ‘Three Musketeers’ are facing jail after their plot to carry out a London Bridge-style knife rampage was foiled by undercover MI5 agents.

    EVERY SINGLE DAY WE ARE AFFRONTED BY ATTACKS OR PLOTS FOR ATTACKS BY MUSLIMS. A good roundup of Muslim atrocity is Robert Spencer’s daily ‘Jihad Watch’.
    https://www.jihadwatch.org/

    Since 9/11, Islam’s hostility to the West has grown exponentially, along with their invasion of our territory. Saudi-funded mosque building is in epidemic proportions, also encouraged by our traitorous elites. We (who still love the Judeo-Christian heritage) have been wringing our hands for almost a generation now – just long enough for our children and grand children to be utterly brain-washed by the secular Globalist Agenda.

    Thank God we have Trump, Netanyahu and the Visegrad 4. But they are under incessant attack. Who knows if there might not be a coup in the American Republic? Brennan has already threatened it! 90% of the planet seems to long for the destruction of Israel, including many self-hating Jews. Whether the Visegrad 4 can stay united and prevail against the EU is a moot point.

    How have we come to this? We have the answer in another article published here today – ‘I wonder how young people would feel if they were forced to suffer such deprivation of food and freedom in a war or in a tyrannical government like communism, theocracy, or fascism? Would they still be so willing to be multicultural globalists?’

    Marx never died with the death of communism. In fact, getting that tyrannical Soviet regime out of the way, cleared a path for the domestic Marxists of the West, (who had been beavering away at every university since the 1930s), to brazenly show themselves and hijack the government agenda. The government was all ears because the robber Welfare State increases the monopoly power of their bureaucracy.

    On top of that, the Left political parties had the newly found ‘victims’ of ‘white’ Imperialism to ‘defend’ and so the ‘victimization’ of power took place. That has now morphed into something even more sinister on the Left – the Politics of Revenge – set out clearly in Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’.

    The New Global Agenda, using Alinsky’s tactics, is to destroy the Judeo-Christian West and replace it with a Huxley-model dystopian ‘Brave New World’.

    Trump, Netanyahu and Orban have been attacking the coming global dystopia with the most powerful weapon we have – the truth-telling of our real History as it was, not as it has been re-engineered by the Left.

    Only by reclaiming and teaching REAL History can we win this struggle!

  5. Nearly One Quarter of Germans …; from the linked article:

    “In summing up, the micro census revealed that about 22.5 percent of
    Germany’s 82.4 million population are first or second generation
    immigrants where at least one parent was born without German
    citizenship.”

    Which is somewhat misleading. There are quite a few Germans — as German as you can get — where at least one parent was born between 1919 and 1935 into the German minorities in Czechoslovakia or Poland.
    (These minorities were “resettled” in 1945.)

    • They were resettled because they were expelled from former Prussia, where they had been living for 500 years! (Read Gunter Grass ‘Crabwalk’) The German cemeteries in Poland are overrun by weeds, the graves crumble and all history of German culture has been removed from the historical record.

      Naturally the Poles remember the Nazis and who can blame them? Yet much of Western Poland was settled after the war by people from what is now Ukraine! They were transported to the West and told to find a house that was empty, which had belonged to an expelled German family. Often the coffee was still warm on the breakfast table! That is also unfair!

      • As both of my grandfathers say (I am Czech) – All Germans greeted each other Heil Hitler all throughout the war, and they “resettled” the Czechs from the Sudetenland first. So it was a payback in kind: Except that – they started it – they started enslaving, resettling, imprisoning and killing Czechs – and they also planned on resettling whole Czech population somewhere beyond Urals after the war would be won…

        Czechs “occupy” this little piece of land for well over 1000 years, mind you.

        So – unfair or not: It was our grandfathers’ business, and bringing it up – I can go back to the thirty-years war, and tell you something about “forced catholicisation and germanification of protestant Czechs in Bohemia”. Guess who was the perpetrator of that genocide, three centuries ago…

        But those are really not our problems, it’s just history. And revisiting it, in my opinion, doesn’t help much, and you risk heavy arguments “to death” if you take it too seriously.

  6. Re: “The War on Cars is a War on the Constitution”.

    I’m not American, but this strikes me as total hyperbole. We may debate the effects of carbon emissions on (alleged) global warming, but speaking as a resident of London, the UK’s largest city, which has a reasonably efficient public transport system, it is quite apparent that cars occupy a disproportionate amount of roadspace in proportion to the number of people they carry. Our air is seriously polluted as a result. It doesn’t have to be so; Germany has a higher proportion of car ownership, but fewer Germans choose to commute by car.

    (I could rant about the arrogance of cyclists, who produce no pollution but are an arrogant pain in the [gluteus maximus], but that’s another subject.)

    • As you say, you don’t live in the USA but in a hyper-city – London. New York is also a hyper-city and many New Yorkers likewise choose not to use cars.

      But in the USA, there is a vast interior of large, medium and smaller cities which have sizable populations and evolved historically with road transport. Most cities have a number of ring routes. These ring routes cut down on travel time because, in case you’d forgotten, the USA has a huge population.

      USA population: 326.5 million
      New York: 8.5 million
      England: 65.5 million
      London: 8.5 million

      Unfortunately the Politically Correct idiots who run some of our city counsels have been to Amsterdam and are determined to turn every suburb into a little Amsterdam. Bike paths are installed at huge taxpayer cost and are not used, because cars are necessary if time is a factor in one’s life. Expensive public transport has also been installed which conveniently brings the criminals from the poorer neighborhoods of the city, into the areas they wish to rob, at a record speed. Good for them.

      Outside London, on the other, the number of large cities are fewer than the USA. A few artery highways and a railway network take one into the countryside, but once there, cars have to struggle with narrow country lanes ( I can’t even call them roads), often having enormously high hedges on either side, making vision around a corner impossible. Suddenly, beetling into view is a large tractor with the farmer coming like a bat out of hell towards you and, with no space for him to pass, the only alternative is to crawl backwards into a niche in the hedge!

      I suggest therefore that England reverts to walking, horse-riding (a source of pollution) or cycling, which by the way would cripple the economy.

  7. “It would be nice to have a deaf child who is the same as us,” Duchesneau, who carried the baby to term, told the Washington Post two months before the baby boy, named Gauvin, was born. “I think that would be a wonderful experience. You know, if we can have that chance, why not take it?”

    This is like a thalidomide-affected child insisting that (as an adult) more thalidomide be ingested as part of perinatal medication when conceiving their own offspring.

    Purposefully attempting to conceive and deliver a stone-deaf child is nothing but felony abuse and a matter of (psychotically) projecting the parent’s own impediments upon their infant. I can only suppose that they would deny the kid cochlear implants until the poor child was an adult and could seek them without parental consent.

    I sincerely hope that Mother Nature thwarted their hideous plans by making sure an infant with perfect hearing was born to them. Nothing would please me more.

    Please pardon me whilst I regurgitate.
