This is a plea for help. No one can stand neutral and all must step into the fray. As a woman, I shuddered watching the video of Kellie-Jay Keen AKA Posie Parker being frantically bundled away to safety from a violent, baying mob in New Zealand. It became clear to me yesterday that trans extremists would have killed her. Also clear is that media and courts who bow to extreme ideologies might have let them get away with it. Seriously. This is where we are, now.
Her crime was fighting for the obvious truth that women are defined as adult human females - something that has become mortally dangerous to repeat. It is escalating fast and trans extremists are not just demanding rights that trample our privacy and safety, indeed our very existence — they are brazenly exposing themselves as crazed and violent thugs in female costume. Male violence against women is now meted out under the protection of a blonde wig. Of course they were aided by media and the hypnotized baby-marxists fresh from their gender-studies madrassas, now operating in public schools and universities in the desiccating West. Fortuitously, my brilliant A/P Dorothea had already booked the great Nina Power of Compact magazine for yesterday’s TNT Radio show.and together, we picked this event apart.
Please watch this video-best angle.
My first thought was that this is what the Salem witch trials must have looked like back in 1692 — as a woman, I am afraid in ways I haven’t been for decades.
Brendan O’Neill captured the vibe.
This is what it must have been like when women were marched to the stake. Yesterday in Auckland the British women’s rights campaigner Posie Parker found herself surrounded by a deranged, heaving mob. She had tomato soup and placards thrown in her face. She was doused with water. Huge men screamed insults and expletives in her face. The shoving of the crowd became so intense that Parker feared for her life.
It was a truly chilling spectacle. The mobs’ faces were twisted into masks of feral hatred. They ranted in frenzy as the diminutive Parker, her bottle-blonde hair stained orange from the soup that had been dumped on her, desperately tried to make her way to the safety of a police car. It was a ritualistic shaming of a witch, a violent purging of a heretic.
Next time you’re reading a history book and find yourself wondering how Salem came to be consumed by such swirling hysteria, watch the clips of Posie’s persecution in New Zealand. This is how it happens. This is how the fear of witches can overrule reason and unleash the darkest, most punitive passions of the mob.
Of course legacy media are totally on the side of the mob - because they incited it. Here’s a gem from the hopelessly indoctrinated, formerly great Guardian.
It’s behind a paywall and I’m not giving them a nickel but the headline gives you the gist.
I’m in the midst of writing a documentary today but will return to this story with some significant coverage. In the meantime, follow Meghan Murphy, Kara Dansky Jennifer Bilek, Julie Bindel and the other important female voices that have appeared on my podcast Trish Wood is Critical. These feminist sisters have been doing the heavy lifting. You won’t agree with all of their positions, but they are correct about sex and gender and have been bravely warning and leading the way for a long time. Many of them enduring violence, scorn and professional shunning. We must come together before it’s too late. We can sort out the rest later.
I highly suggest you read The Witches: Suspicion, Betrayal and Hysteria in 1692 Salem by Pulitzer Prize winning — Stacy Schiff.
Before this epidemic in the Massachusetts Bay Colony passed, Ms. Schiff writes, “somewhere between 144 and 185 witches and wizards were named in 25 villages and towns”; 55 people confessed to witchcraft; 19 people, including a minister, were hanged; and another man was tortured to death by having rocks piled on top of his prone body.
Next week here on Substack for premium subscribers our interview with Seymour Hersh - a shocking look not just at the big Nord Stream lie but journalism generally. You can brush up before you listen at Sy’s Substack. As you read, remember that this is how it is supposed to be done.
Stay Critical — it might be all we have.
The quiet ones must speak out. Our gay friends must take the risk and put a stop to it.
I am watching what is happening in Calgary with the Mayor banning protests against drag Queen Story hours for children and families. Then we have topless swims in all the public pools in Alberta. Even in Three Hills, the home of the Prairie Bible Institute. Truly the world has gone insane and those who are the most crazy seem to be in charge.
