Legislators ‘need to stopÂ’ working for institutions

Dave Kohler, of Allentown, was abused by an ordained minister in the Jehovah’s Witnesses in November 1965. He was 9 years old. 
When Kohler was 17, his abuser told him to never talk about the abuse again. 
“So I obeyed and kept my mouth shut,” Kohler said. 
He’s been coming to Harrisburg for about five years to show his support for statute of limitations reform. “Individuals vote them in, and then they work for institutions,” Kohler said of the state legislators. “That needs to stop.”
If reform is passed that would allow Kohler the opportunity to sue his abuser, Kohler said he knows what he would do with any money he could collect.
“I will hopefully be able to afford therapy,” he said.

Therapy at the tutelage of Worldly mental health professionals has, in many cases, real and significant value.

My first wife Dale,  dead now since 1982, was born with Cystic Fibrosis, which is a horrible way to live, and a horrible way to die,  depended heavily on "therapy" to stay relatively functional ... but came to think that her therapist was the only solution to coping.

Perhaps he was.... perhaps not ... I never attended any sessions .. I was merely the chauffeur.

Different things work for different people, I suppose.

For me it was John Wayne Western Movies about characters that "went through hell", and shrugged it off.

That, and two years later, I bought a 1971 Corvette convertible with a 454 engine.

Worked for me!

I'm English and have no idea how American law works, or doesn't work. In fact i don't even know how UK law works or doesn't.

A few years ago, just before the Jimmy Savile scandal, I requested information about my time in 'Care' in the Children's Home.  Using the Data Protection Act i managed to get pages of info about my horrible time in 'care'. However most of it had been redacted, to the point where one page was just black. 

My next aim was to use the Freedom of Information Act to get information about the people that had worked in that 'Home' during the time i was there.  Oh dear, it was almost impossible. The procedure that i would have had to go through would have made it pointless,  because i could only read it in their files office, not copy it.

When the Jimmy Savile scandal started i stopped making enquiries as I realised i would be seen as just jumping on a 'sexual abuse' bandwagon. 

The Law of the land favours people with position and power.  It is not generally good for the 'working classes'. 

However it would be really good if these victims get justice, and yes, get compensation directly from the abuser.

@JOHN BUTLER American Laws are somewhat a mixed bag, there is some states that the abused are suppose to marry their abuser, and people wanting to make several things legal when to the eyes of the common "woke" man and woman, such is to not be made legal. On the other side of the spectrum, you have a divided America, one of the reasons why I am not a fan of politics.

Not quite, a time will come when the division will be far greater. The world as a whole are of 2 factions, including America and whom they side with, while you have Russia and whom they side with.

As for the Americans, America is broken and divided and eventually it will reach a tipping point, for last time I mention people wanting to start a civil war of some sort and a list of other things.

That being said, the SJWs have been given a new name, NPCs which I find somewhat funny.

Politicians will continue to jab at each other's necks as we speech, as with those of the far left and far right, us neutrals just sit back an watch with a bag of popcorn in hand, for such things taking place is non of our business.

That's why Armalite made the AR-15 ... when distances to evil people will be far greater .. and need encouragement to KEEP that increased distance.

What did I miss?

As with the internet there is memes, we had the Ugandan Knuckles at the opening of 2018, Pepe the Frog and Kekistan Army, Logan/Jake Paul, the turning of a Super Mario villain into a female, and now we have the NPC. This term is in direct to the far left, as well as Social Justice Warriors, to which the left fins the term very dehumanizing whereas the left called people Nazis or Russian Bots, but the meme that originated from the far Right, the NPC, is very powerful and is triggering people left and right, even those in the media. Not only is the meme hilarious, but it adds truth to how those with a political view actually operate and react.

In a way, this new NPC meme to SJWs has blown up the internet faster than the other things mentioned.

The image you see here is a wojak turned into an NPC.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
