Collateral Damage in Stockholm


Collateral Damage is the name of the poster that
Collateral Damage in a high control group
I've just presented at the  International Cultic Study Association 2015 in Stockholm. This year the title of the Conference was "Children in High Control Groups", and that's what is depicted in the poster, regarding an anonymised, but global education movement.

No stigma. World Mental Health Day 2014

I though I'd drop in and write something here, as I haven't for a long time.

That's because what I wrote up until then has been quite enough to be going on with, in terms of having results in the real world.

Unfortunately I am not at liberty to say what those results are at the moment, and am quite curtailed, for legal reasons, just for now, from being very open about what's been happening to me at all, or  about the reality behind the well-evidenced accounts I've published in posts here, and on ANM.

Fixing it for Jim


I know we all loathe and despise this man, but I have been driven to write about him today, because of the almost unbearable tension I experience between the image and the reality, both in the dreadful revelations of how devastating that tension was and is physically for so many people, and also because as a child I felt that tension also emanating uncomfortably from the TV as I watched the gold medallion resting and swinging on his hairy chest.

Of course I watched Jimmy Savile as a kid.  I used to sit green-eyed with envy as some lucky kid, unfortunate because of some terrible vulnerability, got their wildest dreams met by this man who seemed able to do absolutely anything, anything at all at the drop of a hat.  The smiles of those children spoke to me... that's what it would be like to really get what you dream of.
