Dear Mr. Lindemann: You are right! Apparently, Mr. O'Kanu removed the part where he said he had never heard of the Marquis de Sade. That is ironic, isn't it?

Mr. O’Kanu,

I am a little disappointed that you never heard of the Marquis de Sade, from whom the word “sadism” was coined.

Acupuncture is a wildly available medical treatment based on the manipulation of invisible energy. Homeopathy is a common treatment in which the stronger the medicine, the less amount of active ingredient it contains, having been diluted and shaken to a point where only the “essence” (or invisible energy) of the ingredient remains.

This is just to point out that the use of “magic” for healing is ordinary among a subset of Americans, although they probably wouldn’t like that word.

Brave new world and 1984 are cautionary tales, not blueprints for a hoped for ultimate revolution. How one could think that bewilders me. But i hear it regularly from paranoid conspiracy theorists.

Now i see why my 35-yr old biochem major nephew is indoctrinated along with his generation of jabbed: his high school had them read” brave new world” in which mindfuck was promoted. Getting stoned away from the dystopian world that is now Chinada, thanks to the stoned commie PM who promised and delivered marijuana to the thankful voters... and believe not in truth but in the central power over them in the name of social justice(a crock) climate change dogma( crock) and gender fluidity(crock), etc etc all for the Big Lie Agenda. Oh, and i would say God help them. But only those of humble faith can be helped. God will not assist evil nor those too weak to resist it.
