#TheGreatUnravelling

It is just one of those days when one is confronted with the ugly side of human nature

As humanity hurtles towards the collapse of civilisation and its own extinction humans are acting in very strange ways and the veneer of tolerance and reasonableness is being torn away and what is being revealed is very ugly.

Here are just a few examples.

Insanity and fascism in the age of #TheGreatUnravelling

Mentally ill should wear wristbands, Tory candidate says, provoking outrage

A Conservative Party candidate has caused a furor for “harmfully” suggesting mentally ill people should wear wristbands to identify their condition.

Cambridge Tory candidate Chamali Fernando was speaking at a hustings event on Monday when she made the “outraging” statements.

Fernando said the wristbands, labeled with the person’s condition, would be helpful to police and legal professionals to understand the behavior of someone who is unable to explain themselves.

A transcript of the hustings, released by Cambridge News, reveals the 32-year-old barrister said, “I’m not trained to deal with people in those situations. I would like to see more training for legal professionals and police officers.

Maybe it’s something as simple as there are certain conditions which are more common, where people can wear a wristband to identify they have that condition, so we can perhaps not diagnose, but spot it earlier and ensure that we deal with it.”....



New Bill Would Have Teachers Diagnose Psychological Issues in Children and Report them to Police


Texas State Representative Jason Villalba (R-Dallas) is once again in the spotlight after submitting yet another Orwellian proposal, H.B. 985.

Villalba first raised the ire of civil libertarians by proposing a bill, H.B. 2006, which would have eliminated the religious exemption for vaccination, essentially creating a forced government vaccination program without exception.

More recently, Villalba was thrust into the national spotlight when he proposed H.B. 2918, which would usurp citizens of the ability to hold law enforcement accountable for their actions. The bill would negate the people’s ability to create an accurate and impartial record of police interactions by restricting citizens from filming within 25 feet of an officer.

Now with H.B. 985, Villalba intends to give school officials the authority to force psychological screenings of students that teachers and staff diagnose as having mental health issues.

Shopping with cash is now illegal in Lousiana


With the passage of House Bill 195 into law, the State of Louisiana has banned the use of cash in all transactions involving second-hand goods. State representative Ricky Hardy, a co-author of the bill, claims that the bill targets criminals who traffic in stolen goods. According to Hardy, “It’s a mechanism to be used so the police department has something to go on and have a lead.” The bill prohibits cash transactions by “second-hand dealers,” defined to include garage sales, flea markets, resellers of specialty items, and even non-profit resellers like Goodwill. 

Gary Cass: Satan Using 'Gay Abortionists' To 'Attack Humanity'


A few months ago, Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission began producing a regular "Defending a Christian Worldview" webcast in which he weighs in on issues that have been in the news in the previous week.

On the most recent installment, Cass explained that gay marriage and abortion are both satanic attacks on the image of God and His command to "be fruitful and multiply."

Warning that "gay abortionists" are out to "destroy the fruit of heterosexuality," Cass declared that Satan uses both abortion and gay marriage to "attack humanity at the core of their essence where the image of God resides, to destroy them sexually, to destroy the fruit of their womb."

"If you're Satan, that makes perfect sense," he said. "It's all an attack on the image of God":



Pat Robertson: Gays Will Force Christians To Like Anal Sex And, Eventually, Polyamory And Bestiality



Right-wingwing televangelist Pat Robertson tackled the recent controversy over Memories Pizza, which became Indiana's first business to publicly
declare that they won't cater to same-sex weddings in the wake of the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act this week.

"Most gays, if they're having a wedding, don't want pizzas -- they want cake," Robertson told "700 Club" viewers, according to Right Wing Watch. "It's the cake-makers that are having a problem."

Still, he warned Christian business owners of all types that gay customers will eventually "make you conform to them."

"You're gonna say that you like anal sex, you like oral sex, you like bestiality," he added. "Sooner or later, you're going to have to conform your religious beliefs to the group of some abhorrent thing. It won't stop at homosexuality."

Noting that Christian beliefs will "come under assault" until polyamory and polygamy are acceptable, too, Robertson lamented, "It's a weird world we're living in."

The comments aren't too surprising, particularly given Robertson's recent history of anti-gay sentiments. In Febuary, he argued that a Washington state judge's ruling that a florist had discriminated against a gay couple by refusing to provide flowers for their wedding was also indicative of society's eventual embrace of bestiality.

He asked, “To tell a florist that she’s got to provide flowers for a particular kind of wedding? What if somebody wanted to marry his dog? She’s got to have flowers for that?"





A D.C-based law firm will file suit and pursue “all legal remedies” to protect the rights of the Maryland parents whose two young children were taken into custody for more than five hours Sunday after someone reported them as they made their way home unsupervised from a Silver Spring park, the firm said Tuesday.

Danielle and Alexander Meitiv were “rightfully outraged by the irresponsible actions” of Maryland Child Protective Services and Montgomery County police, said attorney Matthew Dowd, of the firm Wiley Rein, in a written statement.



Montgomery County Police released the audio from the 911 call reporting Danielle and Alexander Meitiv's children, 10 and 6, walking down the street unaccompanied. Montgomery County police said that a call came in to check on the children’s welfare shortly before 5 p.m. (Montgomery County Police)



While most people visit the Grand Canyon to experience one of the natural wonders of the world, visitors may soon be surprised to find a $1 billion entertainment complex, which will include an IMAX theater, mall and restaurants, inside of the East Rim of the canyon. Developers are working on plans to build the mega complex, called the Grand Canyon Escalade, in the canyon with the help of the Navajo Nation.

NBC News reports that a developer group called Confluence Partners wants to create a place for the more than 5 million annual Grand Canyon visitors to converge on the East Rim of the park. A new 420-acre attraction costing $1 billion is in the planning phase which would provide tourists a variety of amenities within the canyon itself.

e project is planned to be built on land owned by the Navajo Nation as they took over leasing rights from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This means that the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Federal National Parks will have no say in the construction of the project. Instead, the Navajo Nation will give final approval on whether or not the project can be built inside one of America’s most well-known natural wonders.
