Erich Mielke of the Ministry for State Security is openly questioned during his last speech to the GDR People's Chamber. The MPs demand answers about the extent of spying by the Stasi and react with hilarity to the minister's justification that he always acted in the interests of the working people. When Erich Mielke is criticised for speaking only of "comrades", the legendary words are uttered with which the politician is still remembered today. "I love... I love everyone, all people... Well, I love... I'm committed to it."

I archive everything I write in a file on my desktop and then into a memory stick.

What a brilliant and considered chronology, Frances, of your experience writing and publishing on what is commonly called "social media" but which has offered an outlet to voices like yours and mine which are shunned and disappeared by corporate billionaire-run media--yet which has rallied to censor and silence us since. Thank you for sharing all -- and yes, my recent experience of a wrongful Psych Hold on a False-Claim by a complicit neighbor, which really offers a culmination of 8 years of Neighborhood Stasi BS directed my way points absolutely to the co-opting and takeover of modern neighborhoods by a very venal, ruthless, and mercenary coterie playing "Security/Law Enforcement" in our midst while spraying all with the EMF tech you have described & running Neighborhood Watch Stasi-on-steroids actions to defame and silence. Writers, historians, journalists, activists, teachers, speakers are now the target of very offensive operations aiming at silencing and censorship -- we must keep speaking and writing and sharing our research and knowledge, as we both do, I know: I am confident we will prevail, despite all being thrown at us.

I saw a video interview you did with Fran and thought you were wonderful (I already knew Fran is wonderful ;) ), and so Thank You, and just know that there are a bunch of us "out there" that are loving you and sending you hugs and protective vibes. xo xo xo

Never think, whatever happens, that you've been forgotten somehow... Not by me!

I read a post from The Good Citizen yesterday evening, a complete smearing, denigrating diatribe against women-- He picked out a few politicians, maybe five women? who are part and parcel (complicit) in all this nazification of the Globe, and then proceeded to extend it to ALL women, or so it sure seemed to me. What was most disgusting was someone named "Sara" (is it really a SHE? seems doubtful) who utterly trashed feminism and women generally, saying they should stay home where they belong and "take care of their children." It sounded suspiciously like what I heard on LinkedIn during the couple of weeks I allowed myself to be there, before I realized it was NO place for me, and I'll never be that desperate for a job... from MEN. Almost the same phraseology...

I felt a darkness last evening, almost a presence, of such hatred... And the same coming from my own family members already...

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. But I know what it is. I wish I could rescue you from that abuse you're going through.... It sounds hilarious, maybe, but FOIL DOES HELP. Cover your walls with it! Make a foil hat!! Here's a good site for info: rblank@shieldyourbody.com

Love you, Fran!! xo xo xo

Your constant support is much appreciated! I am about to produce another article, a follow-up on this one. The best way to help me would be to share my articles on the social media platforms which I cannot access but I suspect that many of my 700 subscribers on Substack are as banned as I am!

I moved in March 2021 to get away from high EMF radiation but my new address has recently become much worse than my previous!

I don't think I will get better unless I can escape again but everywhere in UK is saturated with towers since 2020.

That cleared the air! I am glad you said it. I am an old fashioned female too. I had the good fortune to be able to do the mummy thing at home but always made a small living dressmaking and running my husband's roofing business. I even studied and had a rip roaring social life too! When I look back on my younger days I marvel at how much I crammed in.... and I wasn't on drugs either! lol

Later, I went on to work in a variety of jobs all of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I never competed with anyone, certainly not the men in my life. My grandmother had taught me (by example) that it is wise to let men think they are superior but never to believe that they actually ARE!

Why not simply post the comment you made on TGC's page?

You say above: "I did say that I thought women ought to raise their children."

You make it sound so innocent... As a WOMAN, yes, I am a woman, still not sure about you, I felt surprised and dismayed, and a bit angry at what you said. It felt like an attack on women everywhere, an angry diatribe.

Besides the comment about "feminist trash," I believe you said, I object to the canceling, as is now so popular, of women's long-time attempts to have equal rights, equal treatment, equal pay for the same job, and RESPECT, as opposed to being considered a mere vessel, or a sexual object, or a kind of servant, for men.

You did appear to trash the entire endeavor, without allowance for anything but your own view of what women ought to be. It seemed pretty vindictive to ME. You've calmed WAY down on this page, maybe because this page is written by a WOMAN. As far as I can see, this doesn't clear the air at all, as far as I'm concerned.

Your words are much softer here on this page, but your post on that page didn't feel very sisterly at all, it felt like chiming in as the bully boys trashed the Female. I suspect you're a troll. Prove me wrong.
