  • Is it FAKE SCIENCE or is it a CULT? The Pirate Podcast examines the current Church of CovidStan
    We're going to take a detailed look at the church of CovidStan.  Is it science, or is it a cult?  When local social media pages pretend to provide COVID19 Information using doctors and mask fetish adherents, often they display the majority of qualities featured in a cult. Do they cross over at a minimum to misinformation?  Are they more harmful than helpful?  Lets look at the characteristics of a cult and see if we can better understand what we may be dealing with.  Real science uses the scientific method, but what is being promoted as blindly trusting "science" today has little resemblance to what science really is, and moreso represents blind alliegance to cult-like characters at the local, state and national level that put ideology over data in the interest of harnessing a harvest field of useful idiots towards a grander societal shift.  
    This excerpt written by Janja Lalich and Michael D. Langone is from: Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships (Bay Tree Publishing, 2006). You can buy the book on Amazon.  

    The group displays an excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.

    Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
    Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, or debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
    The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (e.g., members must get permission to date, change jobs, or marry—or leaders prescribe what to wear, where to live, whether to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).
    The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and its members (e.g., the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar—or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).
    The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
    The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).
    The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (e.g., lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).
    The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and control members. Often this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
    Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
    The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
    The group is preoccupied with making money.
    Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
    Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
    The most loyal members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave—or even consider leaving—the group.

    You can apply this to identity politics, radical liberal agendas for schools, academia, the media, planned parenthood radicalism, the current church of Faucian "science" and many other progressive movements.

  • ►►Critical Race Theory is IN Pinellas County Schools◄◄
    Documentation, discovered by researchers, have uncovered materials that indicate that Critical Race Theory (CRT), masquerading as Culturally Relevant Teaching (CRT) is has not only arrived already into local classrooms, but is being promoted and encouraged throughout Pinellas County Schools.  On June 8th, Pinellas County School Board quietly approved through their consent agenda a CRT Czar to champion equity initiatives for implementation of their CRT curriculum.  It will be trained during a special teacher training workshop this summer, and then incentivised during the 2021/2022 school year with published CRT objectives and invecentives for staff and administration.  We're in possession of the materials, and in the process of relaying them to the State of Florida as the materials and implementation are seemingly at odds with Florida’s state Board of Education ban of “critical race theory” from public school classrooms Thursday, adopting new rules it said would shield schoolchildren from curricula that could “distort historical events.”
    The new rules say classroom instruction “must be factual and objective, and may not suppress or distort significant historical events.” It goes on to mention the Holocaust, slavery and the Civil War, as well as the civil rights movement and the contributions of Blacks, Hispanics and women to the country.
    But it also makes specific mention of “theories that distort historical events” that are inconsistent with board policy, including any teaching that denies the Holocaust or espouses critical race theory, which the new rules say asserts “that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons.”
    The new rules also forbids use of the 1619 Project, a classroom program spawned by a New York Times project that focuses on teaching about slavery and African American history. The project’s name refers to the year popularly believed to be when slaves were first brought to colonial America.

  • When Someone Shows You Who They Are, Believe Them
    With what has been revealed about the way that Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas County School Boards operate, do you trust them?
    Do you trust their judgement?  Why do we continue to give them the benefit of the doubt, and pretend they are acting in the best interest of the children?  When someone shows you who they are, believe them.


    Bullying
    Critical Race Theory
    Gender Identity
    Planned Parenthood
    Sexual Education 
    Health Taskforce
    Curriculum Committee
    Parent Involvement
    Baker Act
    School To Prison Programs
    Equity vs. Equality

    Don't leave anything to chance.  The next generation is depending on US to intercede for them.
