I am once again calling for the adoption of a "tough on crime" agenda against the grifters, scammers, and quacks deranging American society. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
![It is hard to quantify exactly how many babies have died in FBS circles, because many “loss moms”, as they’re known, disappear in the wake of their tragedies. Most do not respond to journalistic inquiries.
Within the Lighthouse alone, around eight women appear to have experienced stillbirths or neonatal deaths in the last year, in a community of around 600 women, many of whom were not pregnant.
As part of this Guardian investigation, we conducted in-depth interviews with 18 mothers who suffered late-term stillbirths, neonatal deaths or other incidents of serious harm after they or their birth attendants were heavily influenced by FBS. Their accounts were corroborated through interviews with friends, family and partners, and supported by journal entries, medical notes, video footage, message threads or legal documents. In all 18 cases, the evidence suggests FBS played a significant role in the mother or birth attendant’s decision-making, leading to potentially avoidable tragedies.
They include Adair Arbor, who never would have considered an unassisted birth before encountering FBS, and whose daughter, Ilex, was stillborn in January 2021 following a 115-hour labor, and Amalia Hernandez, who nearly bled to death in March 2024 after refusing to call an ambulance, believing her post-partum bleeding would resolve itself at home. The same year, Haley Bordeaux went blind and suffered several strokes following a four-day labor in which she was in contact with Saldaya, in phone calls and text messages via a friend. When Saldaya was later informed that doctors had concluded Bordeaux’s temporary vision loss was due to severe pre-eclampsia, she replied: “She doesn’t have severe pre e[clampsia], that’s so entirely retarded.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ylgbet7hkz6ntdh6eljnsri/bafkreibvoc4qne4oeq7cqauzorzonfgp5zb3phienvkuvwfcna3lfkhdoq@jpeg)

Like vaccines denialists, I feel being able to say "birth is totally safe" with a straight face can only be the result of a generation that both
1) Has no living relatives that remember when that was not the case, and
2) Does not own a library card/history book.

If you think about Israel as an American Ulster in the Middle East suddenly the direction of influence and power actually makes sense and you stop doing antisemitism and start doing anti-Zionism
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The US is very much the senior partner in this relationship and thinking otherwise is crazy conspiracy stuff that conjures up old antisemitic tropes.
This is a good example of obvious bullshit and why conspiratorial antisemitism makes you dumb. No, it doesn’t actually make sense to think the DHS gov account is managed out of Israel. that’s actually a really stupid thing to think.

It's more like Israel is the US' policeman in the region. And in return Israel gets to keep going with the occupation and settlements, indefinitely. And perhaps the US will even one day greenlight formal annexation.
