A Problem With Psychobabble

Despite the creation of a virtual army of psychiatrists, psychologists, psychometrists, counselors, and social workers, there has been no letup in the rate of mental illness, suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, child abuse, divorce, murder, and general mayhem. Contrary to what one might expect in a society so carefully analyzed and attended to by mental health experts, there has been an increase in all these categories. It sometimes seems there is a direct ratio between the increasing number of helpers and the increasing number of those who need help. The more psychologist we have, the more mental illness we get; the more social workers and probation officers, the more crime; the more teachers, the more ignorance.

One has to wonder at it all. In plain language, it is suspicious. We are forced to entertain the possibility that psychology and related professions are proposing to solve problems that they themselves have helped to create. We find psychologists making a virtue our of self-preoccupation, and then we find them surprised at the increased supply of narcissists. We Find psychologists advising the courts that there is not such thing as a bad boy or even a bad adult, and then we find them formulating theories to explain the rise in crime. We find psychologists severing the bonds of family life, and then we find them conducting therapy for broken families.

Liberate America's Children from Leftism

Totalitarians always use children to unleash evil because everyone else has been around long enough to know exactly how evil begins!  Psychopathic murderer Lenin infamously boasted, "Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."  Psychopathic murderer Mao taught grade-schoolers to torture their teachers during the Cultural Revolution.  Psychopathic murderer Hitler had his innocent-looking yet devilishly dangerous Hitler Youth.  Africa's psychopathic warlords have for decades recruited and enslaved child soldiers for their armies.  Today, psychopathic Antifa targets adolescents to fill the ranks of its shock troops, not at all different from the get-'em-while-they're-young recruiting strategies of criminal gangs.  Whenever and wherever in history young people have been told that they are smarter and more deserving than the older generations living beside them, they have been manipulatively used as a cheap supply of cannon fodder, a means to instigate murder and mayhem, and an army of gullible dopes too unworldly to protest.

Destroying the Family is Dangerous

The destruction of the traditional family is dangerous, and the victims are always the children involved. With divorce rates on the rise, fatherless homes plaguing our country, and an uptick in children’s poor mental health, our most defenseless have become vulnerable to harmful ideologies that continue to drive a wedge between the relationship they have left with their parents. When the relationship between child and parent is broken, the state will come in as the savior and will promise to take care of the child’s every need. This can already be seen through the public schools’ approach to care for the “whole child.”

Scarlen Valderaz, The Attack on the Traditional Family

Redefining Morality

Rather than our democracy following prior moral principles, our moral principles now are defined by our democracy. What we deem to be moral — good and evil, right and wrong — now arrives to us not from heaven but from Hollywood. … A free society cannot function when individuals cannot govern themselves through personal responsibility. … Let’s pray that all our citizens see that the only path to freedom is each embracing eternal truths that enable all of us to successfully govern our own lives.

LEFTISTS Despise Family

One can look in history or in literature to see the danger of where the idea of supplanting the family might lead. Study the education practices that existed in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and that exist today in Communist China. Or read the terrifying account in Orwell’s 1984. They tell us that children, by distorting their natural desire to grow up and end their dependence, can be recruited to the purposes of despotic regimes, even to the extent of denouncing their parents to the state.

Destruction Caused by Corrupt Scientists

The resulting destruction of society from corrupt scientists is appalling.  Billions of people are to be impoverished by futile attempts to adjust the climate to some unspecified parameters.  Untold numbers of children are being castrated and otherwise mutilated to serve the transgender gods.  Inadequately tested drugs are being sold, even mandated, to prevent self-limiting diseases, while effective therapies are being suppressed.  In the meantime, actual scientists who dare to report facts are being demonized and deprived of their livelihoods.  Yale medical students recently shouted down a speaker rather than question his data and conclusions.  Medical students!  As Elon Musk might say, let that sink in.  In the near future, how will we trust the medical advice of ideological M.D.s?

When Feelings Trump Thinking

Marxist Sex Indoctrination

The origins of radical sex education date back nearly a century to a program implemented in Hungarian public schools by Marxists in their quest to destroy Christianity in Western Europe.  The curriculum included sex lectures and graphic instructional materials about free love and sexual intercourse.  Students were encouraged to ridicule and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority.  Hate was turned toward parents, clergy, and all dissenters.

The program was a huge success.  Continued exposure to atheism, radical sex education, and rebellion against authority turned Hungarian students into bullies, thieves, murderers, sex predators, and sociopaths who disrespected authority. 

The implementation of a radical sex curriculum and Marxist indoctrination in American public education has created a mental crisis among students.  American youths are exhibiting the same characteristics found in Hungarian youths after implementation of a radical sex curriculum: violent, thieves, murderers, sociopaths, sex predators, and God-haters.

Public School Transgender Indoctrination

[T]he public schools are encouraging and even pushing kids to adhere to the gender ideology at increasingly younger ages. The motivations for this are many. Having a child who identifies as trans is allowing ever more government usurpation of parental rights. Having a child identify as trans also means he or she is fast-tracked into the medical hamster wheel that screws up the child’s life but thoroughly enriches the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. This indoctrination of children by teachers who are either LGBTQ+ or consider themselves “allies” tries to stigmatize normal heterosexual relationships as weird and cringy as opposed to being the ones that actually promise a continuation of the human race.

When Feelings Trump Reality and Morality

While I appreciate all voices pushing back against gender madness, understand that it’s not possible to stop just one part of the sexual revolution. An uncomfortable truth even many conservatives don’t want to admit is that the trans movement didn’t come from nowhere. It is simply the natural progression of the basis for the redefinition of marriage and family: the idea that feelings trump biological reality (& morality). This is also the premise of all ‘sexual liberation.

The LEFT Hate History

[B]y the standard applied by the Progressive Left today—by which they drive Christian people out of business, and accuse politicians of various new bigotries—history’s heroes simply would not make the cut. Secular progressive ideology is too new. History has been retroactively rendered a graveyard of homophobic bigots, and regardless of heroism or towering achievements, they are simply fortunate to have not lived in a time where their great deeds would have done nothing to avoid a social media lynching for failing to identify a robust Olympian father as a woman.

I had the opportunity recently to sit down with veteran journalist and Christian historian Ted Byfield to discuss these trends. History, he noted, has heroes and villains. That is why history is so dangerous for secular progressive types, and that’s why they’ve replaced the teaching of “history” with the teaching of social studies. Social studies borrows from history, but is actually an entirely different pursuit.

In order to find the way forward, Christians must refresh themselves on what happened in the Past. History is one of our greatest weapons, because without it, we can have no context for what is happening and how we can respond. A tree without roots blows over at the first gusty breeze.

The World is Dangerous

Most Americans have no idea how truly dangerous the world has become. How many people and criminal groups wish to prey upon and destroy our society in order to enrich themselves. How narcoterrorists and warlords now control an entire nation right on our southern border. Yet, unlike in the past, too few citizens today understand that society requires those who reinforce the good over the bad on our behalf. They, therefore, must be reminded of that essential truth before it’s too late.
