He is widely regarded as a founder of Methodism (alongside John and Charles Wesley) and a pioneer of modern evangelicalism. Whitefield&#8217;s dramatic, open-air preaching style drew enormous crowds across Britain and the American colonies&#8212;often tens of thousands at a time&#8212;making him one of colonial America&#8217;s first true celebrities. Historians estimate that 75&#8211;80% of American colonists heard him preach at least once.</p><p>Whitefield was described as slender and of small-to-average stature (around 5&#8217;9&#8221; in modern terms), with a handsome face, pale complexion, and a powerful, resonant voice that could carry over vast outdoor crowds without amplification. He had a notable physical trait: a &#8220;lazy eye&#8221; or strabismus (cross-eyed appearance), which some contemporaries saw as a divine mark. Paradoxically, this made listeners in large audiences feel as though he was looking directly at them individually.</p><p>Portraits from the era (such as the one attributed to Robert Hunter around 1760) typically show him in clerical robes and a white wig, with an intense, expressive gaze. His charisma, theatrical flair (he once aspired to be an actor), and emotional delivery&#8212;full of gestures, tears, and passionate appeals&#8212;made his sermons unforgettable and often led to dramatic conversions.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

seven children of Thomas Whitefield, an innkeeper at the Bell Inn, and Elizabeth Edwards. His father died when George was just two, and his mother later remarried. The family struggled financially, and as a boy Whitefield worked at the inn&#8212;drawing beer, cleaning rooms, and serving guests&#8212;while showing early talent for drama and public speaking.</p><p>He attended local schools and, at age 17, entered Pembroke College, Oxford, as a &#8220;servitor&#8221; (a scholarship student who waited on wealthier peers). There, in 1732, he joined the &#8220;Holy Club,&#8221; a devout group led by the Wesley brothers (John and Charles). This marked the beginning of his deep spiritual journey. In 1735, at around age 20&#8211;21, Whitefield experienced a profound &#8220;new birth&#8221; or conversion&#8212;a personal awakening he later described as the moment he truly understood salvation by faith in Christ. He fasted rigorously, prayed constantly, and immersed himself in Scripture.</p><p>Ordained as a deacon in the Church of England in 1736 at Gloucester Cathedral, he preached his first sermon that same year. His eloquence quickly drew attention.</p><p>(1737&#8211;1740s) Whitefield became an itinerant preacher, rejecting the formal, dry style of many established clergy. Denied pulpits in some churches due to his emotional, Calvinist-leaning messages (emphasizing the &#8220;new birth&#8221; and personal conversion over ritual), he pioneered open-air preaching in fields, starting in England around 1739. Crowds of coal miners and working people flocked to hear him; one famous early event drew 20,000+.</p><p>In 1738, at the Wesleys&#8217; invitation, he sailed to the colony of Georgia as a missionary. He spent three months there, founded the Bethesda Orphan House (which he supported for the rest of his life), and returned to England ordained as a priest. His first major American tour (1739&#8211;1741) ignited the Great Awakening: he preached from Georgia to New England, often multiple times a day, to crowds as large as 30,000&#8211;80,000. He traveled through all 13 colonies, forging a unified evangelical movement that transcended denominations.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

printed his sermons, helping spread his fame. Whitefield&#8217;s preaching emphasized equality before God, liberty in Christ, and personal piety, which some historians link to the revolutionary spirit that later fueled American independence.</p><p>He made seven transatlantic voyages in total and preached extensively in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as well.</p><p>Whitefield married Elizabeth James (a widow) in 1741; they had one son who died in infancy. He continued relentless tours despite health issues, including asthma and exhaustion. Critics accused him of emotional excess and &#8220;enthusiasm,&#8221; but supporters saw him as a prophet of revival. He remained a committed Calvinist within the Church of England, though he helped birth the separate Calvinistic Methodist movement.</p><p>On September 29, 1770, in Exeter, New Hampshire, Whitefield preached his final sermon by candlelight despite severe asthma. He died the next morning, September 30, 1770, at age 55, in the parsonage of Old South Presbyterian Church in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Thousands attended his funeral. He was buried there, as he requested.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

formalism. He influenced later evangelists like John Wesley (though they had theological differences) and helped lay groundwork for Protestant revivalism. Today, he is remembered as &#8220;the Great Awakener&#8221; and a spiritual founding father of evangelical Christianity in America. His life exemplified tireless devotion&#8212;preaching an estimated 18,000+ sermons over 34 years.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg" width="960" height="1280" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1280,&quot;width&quot;:960,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:479323,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/i/197206328?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!5x-J!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4afb4b98-dde7-41e9-8591-f98f536a6379_960x1280.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div></blockquote><div><hr></div><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Press forward.

Jason Merz is coming out of a port-o-potty on the construction site of the school he was in charge of, while lip-syncing a song with students.  </p><p>Is this the job of a school principal?</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;52bdf6d3-5a6d-4833-82a1-755ba384eca1&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>In the March 2026 board meeting, three of the five Talawanda school-board members voted to approve Jason Merz&#8217;s contract extension.  Dawn King voted &#8220;No,&#8221; and Matt Wyatt failed to show up for the meeting.  </p><p>Board Member Matt Wyatt&#8217;s absence was not accidental, as the board agenda is given to the board members in advance of the meeting and he clearly didn&#8217;t want to be present for the vote on Jason Merz.  A &#8220;No&#8221; vote or a discussion in the board meeting would have been the thing to do; or, simply make the public suggestion that this needed to be discussed in executive session, behind closed doors.  Instead, board member Matt Wyatt ran away from the vote, possibly believing that by not being there he would not be held responsible if something happened in the future.  Oh, how wrong he is.  </p><p>Talawanda Board President Rebecca Howard, and Board Members Pat Meade and Chris Otto quickly voted &#8220;Yes&#8221; on the contract extension to bring Jason Merz back.  However, not a single board member has read the entire Title IX investigation, or at least they haven&#8217;t admitted to reading it, unless some of them have read the un-redacted version behind closed doors.  The board members only received a redacted copy of the decision-maker&#8217;s decision and the appeal, yet those short documents don&#8217;t even scratch the surface of an entire Title IX investigation.  </p><p>All school-board members have the legal responsibility to read every word of the entire un-redacted Title IX investigation and ALL of the interviews (which I&#8217;ve been told are approximately over 350 pages long) before making any decision.  </p><p>As I brought up in the last article about this story <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/the-title-ix-of-jason-merz-part-1">HERE</a>, school-board members have the legal right to not renew Jason Merz&#8217;s contract and let him resign or even fire him immediately, even if the decision-maker in the Title IX process ruled that there was not enough evidence to rule against him, given a lack of video or eyewitness evidence.</p><p>If the Talawanda board members did read the entire un-redacted version, and they voted to bring Jason Merz back, then that action alone makes this situation of reinstating Jason Merz worse for them than it already is. </p><p>As I have heard, parents are currently pulling their children out of Kramer Elementary and Talawanda, and finding other means of educating their children, due to &#8220;that creepy principal returning.&#8221;  </p><p>This now leads me to a previous point I made in this situation regarding any Title IX investigation, and an apparent specified detail within this particular investigation.  </p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Jason Merz then blocked the door, and even stuck his foot and leg out to keep the child from escaping underneath the bathroom stall wall, when the child attempted to escape.  </p><p>Then, as it was told to me, according to the child, Jason Merz forcefully told the child &#8220;let me touch you!&#8221; &#8230;&#8216;<em><strong>through his teeth</strong></em>.&#8217;  The child said &#8220;<em>No</em>,&#8221; and Jason Merz said; &#8220;<em>Now</em>&#8221; (also presumably &#8216;<em>through his teeth</em>&#8217;).</p><p>I was told that the words &#8220;through his teeth&#8221; are in the document, and that this is exactly what the child told the Title IX investigator during their first interview.</p><p>&#8220;Through his teeth&#8221; (gritted teeth, clenched jaw, hissed or strained delivery) often signals suppressed rage, threat, or barely controlled aggression.  This directly implies that Jason Merz was speaking with gritted teeth, or suppressed anger/frustration while issuing the command, while attempting to remain silent enough to be heard only by the intended recipient in close quarters, as to not be heard by anyone else.  </p><p>This is also referred to as a &#8220;suppressed emotion&#8221; in communication.  It often signals contained irritation, disapproval, or internal conflict&#8212;like the adult is obeying some higher pressure (rules, superiors, fear of consequences and being caught, reduced yet aggressive volume as to not be heard etc.) but resents having to be denied by the child in question at the same time.  Such a method of communication, given the situation and location, directly suggests coercion or intimidation in tone, as the gritted teeth adds a specified layer of threat or barely-restrained aggression, making the command feel more ominous or scary to the child.</p><p>&#8216;Through their/his teeth&#8217; usually points to tense, angry, or direct delivery of a command, as an adult in this situation was forcing the words out, while clearly not happy about the reaction that led up to it.  It makes the interaction emotionally intense and coercive.  If a school principal, or similar authority figure, told a child to do something forcefully against their will&#8212;&#8220;through their teeth,&#8221; then this carries heightened significance.  It directly indicates &#8216;angry speech&#8217; and an indicator of coercion, intimidation, or an attempt to silence or control the child during or after a traumatic event.  </p><p>This exact phrasing is a very vivid way for the child to convey that the interaction felt unpleasant, hostile, or emotionally charged, given that the words themselves were clearly an order.  Children often notice and remember tone, facial expressions, and body language; but when combined with exact wording, it makes such an interaction beyond plausible, and frankly, undeniable.  </p><blockquote><p><strong>After all, what child makes up such a specific story, with specified vocabulary and non-verbal/verbal communication from their attacker if it didn&#8217;t happen?  </strong></p><p><strong>No child makes this up, let alone the specificity of the entire story as a whole.</strong></p></blockquote><p>Did the Talawanda schoo-board members or Superintendent Ed Theroux read this detail in the Title IX documentation before deciding to bring back Jason Merz?  If they didn&#8217;t, is that a viable excuse?  </p><p>Of course it isn&#8217;t.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

because they lack adult vocabulary for words like &#8220;coercion,&#8221; &#8220;intimidation&#8221; or &#8220;threat.&#8221;  This specified detail that the child apparently told the Title IX investigator, highlights that the interaction felt emotionally charged, scary, and non-consensual, and that this was not a calm directive.  </p><p>In any forensic interviewing of child sexual-abuse victims, such specifics about tone, reluctance, or force are quickly noted as they can corroborate a power imbalance and a lack of consent.  Reluctance in disclosure itself is common due to fear, shame, or threats, and interviewers are trained to respond supportively rather than pressuring.  </p><p>As I was told, not only was the child direct with both the Title IX investigator during their two interviews on two separate occasions (months apart); but they were also very direct and forthcoming in the first interview with the criminal forensic interviewer, which took place before the formal Title IX investigation began.  In fact, I was told that the child willfully provided the story and the details within, without ever needing to be led into describing the details by either interviewer.  This further indicates that the child&#8217;s rendering of the story is true.</p><p>Bathroom-stall assaults in schools are common documented scenarios under Title IX investigations, which clearly often involve isolation, power imbalances, and challenges in corroboration due to a lack of witnesses. Children&#8217;s disclosures in these cases can be delayed or fragmented, with sensory/emotional details (like tone of voice or facial expressions) serving as key credibility factors when consistent.  In this case, the child&#8217;s telling of the story, as I was told, was consistent with every interview, every step of the way.</p><p>What happened to &#8220;we believe every child?&#8221;</p><div><hr></div><p>I am told that this is not the only alarming detail in the interview portion of the Title IX investigation into Jason Merz.  Other missteps and details of this case are laid out in the previous articles I wrote from approximately one year ago.</p><p>As stated before, school boards have the legal responsibility to review every document, un-redacted, in a Title IX investigation.  In fact, it&#8217;s their job and legal responsibility.  Offloading responsibility to a Superintendent does not absolve individual school-board members, nor anyone, of any personal legal liability in the future, nor any blame from the public.    </p><div><hr></div><p>Sadly, yet predictably, in the Talawanda April 2026 board meeting <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/MDmkeaiJ2v0?si=TMm3m8xgi2nXl_pR&amp;t=1286">HERE</a>, the interim Principal of Kramer Elementary (the one filling-in for Jason Merz, a Mr. Gregg Pettit) spoke at the microphone and gave &#8216;certificates of appreciation&#8217; for Kramer staff members; such as cafeteria workers, secretaries and other aides within Kramer Elementary, and he thanked everyone for their &#8216;hard work in such a great school and working environment.&#8217; </p><p>Such &#8220;public relations&#8221; behavior is always coordinated by school districts to paint a picture that is not true of a school environment, in particular one that has had abuse allegations, numerous resignations, firings, retaliatory measures that have taken place against staff members, and a high turnover rate; all within the last year since the Title IX investigation of Jason Merz began.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Give your child the necessary online and offline tools to be successful (laptop computer; printer; cellphone to contact you and for you to contact them; pencils; paper etc), and teach them how to stay home safely if you are away at work.  Leaving your children at home, alone, is not against the law in the state of Ohio, in particular if you&#8217;re a responsible parent who knows how to teach your children what to do and what not to do.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Abeka:</strong> <a href="https://www.abeka.com">https://www.abeka.com</a></p></li><li><p><strong>Calvert Education/Academy:</strong> <a href="https://www.calverteducation.com">https://www.calverteducation.com</a></p></li><li><p><strong>Ambleside Online: </strong>Ambleside Online is a free homeschool curriculum that uses Charlotte Mason's classically-based principles to prepare children for a life of rich relationships with everything around them: God, humanity, and the natural world. <a href="https://amblesideonline.org">https://amblesideonline.org</a></p></li><li><p><strong>Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA):</strong> <a href="https://hslda.org">https://hslda.org</a>.

It was a 1984 CIA training manual prepared for the Nicaraguan Contras.  In part it stated the following:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;We could neutralize carefully selected and planned-for targets, such as court judges, cattle judges (jueces de mestal, police of state security officers, CDS chiefs, etc. for purposes of the psychological effect, it is necessary to take extreme precautions, and it is essential to gather the affected population together to attend, take part in the act, and formulate accusations against the oppressor.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>The line about &#8220;neutralize carefully selected and planned-for targets&#8230;&#8221; is notorious because &#8220;neutralize&#8221; was widely interpreted as a euphemism for assassination, though officials at the time disputed that interpretation. The manual caused controversy when it became public and was tied to debates over U.S. covert operations in Nicaragua.</p><p>The hype leading up the the White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) was bigger than usual this time, and that&#8217;s because the whole thing was coordinated to have eyes on the event.  This would be the first time that Trump would be attending as President.  Therefore, the stage was set for this to be another psychological operation.  It was projected to happen and the white-hats knew it, so they let it go off.  But why?  Why would they let something like this occur?</p><p>A mass media protest/walk-out was also set to occur during and before Donald Trump spoke, but after dinner was served.  Oops.  Better luck next time.</p><p>Before I show video of the night and proof of the operation, lets get one thing clear.  Some of us can see this because we have been educated to see it, while others still cannot see it, yet the coordinated frequency of these is making it next to impossible to avoid or deny.  After all, how many times can something occur before it&#8217;s mathematically impossible?</p><p>This is from <strong><a href="https://x.com/Prolotario1">&#923;&#1071;I&#931;&#4354;</a></strong><a href="https://x.com/Prolotario1">@Prolotario1</a> on X:</p><blockquote><p>What Are The Odds People? <br>I am sure you know that 7+9+5+6+1+8+9+3=48 right?<br>I am sure you know 1893 was the year when all the banks were collapsing right? <br>I am sure you know that the post uploaded on 12/21 is a date in Q-Drop 417 right? <br>I am sure you now know that Cole Allen is a anagram for &#8220;A lone cell right? <br>I am sure you know that Cole Allen sister is a journalist in Washington DC right? <br>I am sure you also know that C.

They involve the planned use of communication, information, and other means to influence the emotions, motives, reasoning, attitudes, and behavior of target audiences (governments, organizations, groups, individuals, enemies, allies, or neutrals) i.e., black hats, white hats, gray hats, or unknowing onlookers.</p><p>The core reason psychological operations (psy-ops) exist, is to advance the sponsor&#8217;s (e.g., a nation&#8217;s or military&#8217;s) objectives without (or in support of) kinetic force, by shaping perceptions and behaviors favorably.  </p><p>Here is a comprehensive list from military doctrine, historical use, and strategic analysis as to the reasons why psychological operations exist and what they intend to do:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Induce or reinforce favorable behaviors:</strong> The fundamental U.S. and general purpose is to create or strengthen actions and attitudes that support the sponsor&#8217;s political, military, or national objectives.</p></li><li><p><strong>Demoralize enemy forces:</strong> Lower morale, combat efficiency, and will to fight among opposing troops, encouraging surrender, desertion, or reduced effectiveness.</p></li><li><p><strong>Degrade adversary capabilities: </strong>Encourage popular discontent with enemy leadership, disrupt command and control, protract decision-making, and undermine the ability to sustain operations through persuasion combined with threats.</p></li><li><p><strong>Promote surrender or cessation of resistance:</strong> Directly urge enemies to stop fighting, turn in weapons, or provide information.</p></li><li><p><strong>Gain support and cooperation:</strong> Build alliances or favorable attitudes among friendly, neutral, or civilian populations to support operations or policy goals.</p></li><li><p><strong>Enhance legitimacy and image:</strong> Bolster the perception of a friendly or legitimate government while undermining hostile regimes.</p></li><li><p><strong>Influence foreign decision-making:</strong> Shape emotions, motives, and reasoning of governments, organizations, or groups to align with the sponsor&#8217;s interests, including in peacetime diplomacy.</p></li><li><p><strong>Support overall military campaigns:</strong> Integrate with kinetic operations to multiply effectiveness, advise on psychological impacts, and operate across tactical, operational, and strategic levels.</p></li><li><p><strong>Build partner capacity and influence:</strong> Train or assist allies, conduct civil authority information support, and develop long-term relationships with leaders and civilians.</p></li><li><p><strong>Counter threats non-kinetically:</strong> In counter-terrorism, insurgency, or hybrid warfare, reduce enemy recruitment, expose falsehoods, or promote resistance within hostile populations.</p></li><li><p><strong>Create confusion, division, or exhaustion:</strong> Sow discord, erode trust in institutions/enemies, or overwhelm targets with conflicting information to weaken cohesion or resolve.</p></li><li><p><strong>Resource efficiency and evidentiary gaps:</strong> Achieve effects where direct action is limited by resources, jurisdiction, evidence thresholds, or legal constraints (e.g., in law enforcement or intelligence contexts).</p></li><li><p><strong>Precede, accompany, or follow force:</strong> Prepare the battlefield psychologically, maintain momentum after victories, or consolidate gains in occupied areas.</p></li><li><p><strong>Strategic information campaigns:</strong> In peacetime, promote national interests, counter propaganda from adversaries, or influence global opinion through media, leaflets, social media, etc.</p></li></ol><p>PSYOPS can be overt (white propaganda with identifiable sources), gray (neutral), or covert (black), and they emphasize credible messaging where possible, though deception plays a role in some operations. They are used by many nations and entities beyond the military, including in politics, business influence, and modern information warfare.</p><p>Effectiveness depends on understanding target audiences, cultural context, and timely, believable delivery. While powerful, they are one tool among many (diplomatic, informational, military, economic) and must align with broader strategy.</p><p>Was this WHCD psy-op for all of these reasons above?  Most assuredly.  In fact, the WHCD is the largest event of a gathering of the fake news media and something that has never occurred before with them all in one place.  This highlights that they are both the enemy, yet controlled, and even they can be manipulated.</p><p>How about for a new ballroom?  Sure.  </p><p>Highlight the fake media?  Sure.</p><p>Increase security and highlight gaps?  Sure.</p><p>Expose those who want Trump dead?  Absolutely.</p><p>Expose the ever-present political rhetoric among those in the education/teacher profession?  Always.</p><p>Gather comms (tech surveillance) of those who were there or possibly knew about this in advance or wanted it to happen, and use it against them?  Yes.</p><p>Keep the military operational?  Yes.  </p><p>Prove to the people, with repetition, that they are watching a show and that the military is in control?  Sure.</p><p>Focus on domestic terrorism and sleeper cells in the U.S.?  Yes.</p><p>Focus on dark-site locations that train sleeper cells and shut them down?  Yes.</p><p>Place blame on endless organizations for a lack of awareness?  Yes.</p><p>Attempt to have people unite?  Yes.  (Although this is hard unless you arrest politicians who have engaged in crimes against children, as this may be the only thing that unites).</p><p>Further the &#8220;Charlie Kirk is dead,&#8221; and the &#8220;oh poor Ericka&#8221; narrative?  Maybe (although this isn&#8217;t working).</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png" width="1456" height="971" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:971,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:2320492,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/i/195519224?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ms6w!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb952c9a7-09e8-4967-bf42-00eb4ece9ea6_1536x1024.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The military is in control and there are many enemies in America, even within the military itself.

Over the past year, I have been asking people here and across the nation to support a third option: someone who will actually care for our people, improve our state, and protect our liberties.

X:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;It is Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose&#8217;s duty to investigate and confirm Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy&#8217;s claim of being a U.S. citizen in order to enforce Article V, Section 1 of the Constitution of Ohio making Ohio a citizen only voting state.  It also opens the door to a federal referral for violating 8 U.S.C. 911, which makes it a federal felony to impersonate a &#8220;Citizen of the United States.&#8221;<br><br>Words have meanings, and for the purpose of this discussion I'm addressing three words as they apply to Ramaswamy and his family.  &#8220;Alien&#8221; is defined at 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(3) as, &#8220;Any person not a citizen or national of the United States.&#8221;  &#8220;National&#8221; is defined at 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(22) as, "A person who owes permanent allegiance to the United States.  Congress codified "immigrant" in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20) as a person, &#8220;Lawfully admitted for permanent residence.&#8221;  It means they've received written permission affording them the privilege of residing permanently in the United States.  <br><br>Congress has defined &#8220;Nonimmigrant," pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15), as being individuals with the assigned visa categories. F&#8209;1, students. J&#8209;1. exchange visitors. H&#8209;1, temporary workers (pre&#8209;1990).  H&#8209;1B, specialty occupation workers (post&#8209;1990).  B&#8209;1/B&#8209;2, temporary business/pleasure visitors.  L&#8209;1, intracompany transferees. O&#8209;1, extraordinary ability. R&#8209;1, religious workers.<br><br>8 U.S.C. 1184(b) reads that, "Every alien is presumed to be an immigrant unless they establish to the satisfaction of the consular officer that they are entitled to nonimmigrant status."<br><br>I voted with 3,099,868 Ohioans, a 76.9 percent majority, against the &#8220;no&#8221; votes of 931,205 other Ohioans to amend Article V, Section 1 of the Constitution of Ohio to affirm that "Only a citizen of the United States, of the age of eighteen years ... has the qualifications of an elector, and is entitled to vote at all elections."  No aliens. No immigrants.  No nonimmigrants.  No impersonators of Citizens of the United States.<br><br>Pursuant to R.C. 3513.05 and related sections in Chapter 3513 of the Ohio Revised Code, a candidate for any partisan office (including Governor) must be a "qualified elector" at the time of filing their "declaration of candidacy."  If a candidate is not a "qualified elector" (meaning they are not a U.S. citizen or do not meet residency requirements), they are ineligible to hold office.  For the office of Governor, R.C. 3513.05 requires a joint declaration with a Lieutenant Governor, and both must meet the qualified elector &#8220;citizen only&#8221; mandate.<br><br>Election falsification is a 5th degree felony pursuant to R.C. 3599.36.  False registration is a 5th degree felony pursuant to R.C. 3599.11.  Illegal voting violates R.C. 3599.12, another 5th degree felony.  An alien impersonating a Citizen of the United States of America to seek an elected office in Ohio is committing multiple felonies.  The evidence exists from his own broadcast statements that Ramaswamy is ineligible to appear on the ballot as a &#8220;U.S. citizen&#8221; candidate for governor.  That's my opinion of the federal and state laws I've reviewed in comparison to the facts I've learned about his family background.<br><br>On September 21, 2023, during an interview with NBC News reporter Katherine Koretski, Ramaswamy stated that his father, Vadakanchery Ganapathy Ramaswamy, is not a U.S. citizen.  He said his father made "a choice" not to become an American citizen and that he remains an Indian citizen. He claimed this was done for "familial reasons," implying a desire to maintain ties or property rights in India, where dual citizenship is not recognized. Dual citizenship is not recognized in the U.S.  There are very narrow paths his father had to write for permission and receive to remain in the U.S. on temporary visas for 11 years before Ramaswamy was born in 1985.</p><p>During the same NBC interview Ramaswamy said his mother, Geetha Ramaswamy, did become a naturalized U.S. citizen, but he said this happened after he was born on August 9, 1985.  What he didn&#8217;t say was his mother claimed to be a Legal Permanent Resident when she arrived to work for the Veterans Administration in 1984.<br><br>It takes 5 years of continued legal residence in order to apply to become a &#8220;Legal Permanent Resident.&#8221;  Both parents claimed to be Indian citizens living in Communist Kerala state&#8217;s Vadakkancherry village in September 10, 1982, when they were married.  It is impossible for Ramaswamy's mother to be given a visa as a "legal permanent resident" six months later when she received permission to enter the U.S. on March 20, 1983.  <br><br>She was working for Kamakshi Clinic from July 1982 to December 1982, and for Lakshmi Clinic from January 1983 until March 1983.  She attended Mysore Medical College from August 1976 until May 1981.  All in India.  Legal permanent resident status or a "green card" required her to live for 5 years before March 20, 1983, inside the U.S. while her Ohio Medical Board application identifies her as a resident of India and a Legal Permanent Resident during that time period.<br><br>H1-B visas didn&#8217;t exist until 1990. Immigration laws change and the only ones that apply are those that were enforced when an alien arrived and remained legally as an immigrant or in violation of our laws.<br><br>INA Section 202 is codified as 8 U.S.C. 1152(b)(3) and it provides a specific exception for individuals born on U.S. soil to immigrant parents who are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.   It is my interpretation it instructs immigration officials to charge an alien born in the United States as having been born in the country of which their parents are a citizen or subject.<br><br>Historically, this federal law has been applied to children of foreign students and workers here on visas that come with expiration dates, who have signed oaths affirming their foreign allegiance and intent to return home.  It has applied to foreign diplomats and their children.  <br><br>Children born in the U.S. to immigrant students and workers are "charged" as citizens of their parents' home country under Section 202 for any future immigration purposes.  As students and temporary workers, the parents owe allegiance to a foreign state (like India) and have not established a permanent domicile or "subjected" themselves to U.S. jurisdiction in a sovereign sense, so their children are legally "charged" to that foreign state under Section 202.<br><br>This is underscored by 8 U.S.C. 1184(b).  &#8220;Every alien ... shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for a visa, and the immigration officers, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status under section 1101(a)(15) of this title."<br><br>By August 9, 1985, when Ramasway was born neither of his &#8220;immigrant&#8221; parents &#8211; each who entered the U.S. and signed oaths stating their intent to return to India - had established an entitlement to &#8220;nonimmigrant status&#8221; pursuant to 8. U.S.C. 1101(a)(15).  They had well established even in Indian government documents that they were immigrants with a &#8220;residence abroad&#8221; or &#8220;temporary sojourners&#8221; living here with no intent to stay.  <br><br>It is my belief Ramaswamy&#8217;s father remains in that &#8220;deportable&#8221; status today having arrived here, possibly, on a student visa in 1974, lived, worked, retired and remaining as a citizen of India who has not sworn allegiance to the U.S.</p><p>When Ramaswamy&#8217;s father signed a Hindu marriage license in Vadakkancherry, India in 1982, it was his sworn declaration that his settled home remained in India as it contained no reference to his residing physically in Ohio. If the Ramaswamy's had been deported in 1985 (prior to Geetha&#8217;s 1987 licensure and later naturalization), the child or children born to parents who swore an intent to return home would have returned to India with them.  This, in my opinion, reinforces the argument that the child's status was always meant to follow the "country of chargeability" of the parents under 8 U.S.C. 1152(b)(3).<br><br>8 U.S.C. 1184(b) is the law that forced Vadakanchery Ganapathy Ramaswamy to claim his Indian residence. He currently holds an Indian passport. Under INA Section 202, if he was in the U.S. for 11 years (1974&#8211;1985) without becoming an LPR or citizen, he remained a "subject of India" at the time of Vivek&#8217;s birth.<br><br>Vivek said his mother did become a naturalized U.S. citizen, but he noted that this happened after he was born in 1985.  If she was not a naturalized citizen or LPR in August 1985, and her husband was an Indian subject, both parents were "temporary sojourners" at the moment of birth.  Her status becomes even more challenged based on her claim to the state of Ohio, when she applied for a medical license, that she was a legal permanent resident on March 20, 1983.<br><br>When Koretski pressed him on his proposal to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, Ramaswamy got more than a little "how dare you" snippy.  He insisted his parents "played by the rules" and entered the country "legally." He argued that because their presence was authorized, the 14th Amendment applied to him.  Not according to what specific federal laws say about the immigration story he told an NBC reporter, who also claimed to be a &#8220;birth right&#8221; U.S. citizen.  <br><br>LaRose has a duty to investigate his endorsed candidate for Ohio governor's "story", and I understand his reluctance to point a finger at Ramaswamy&#8217;s family immigration history that might raise questions about his family's immigration here from Italy.  Here&#8217;s a statement from his Facebook page.<br><br>&#8220;My family immigrated to the U.S. from Sicily for a better life.&#8221;<br><br>There are no &#8220;better life&#8221; visas offered under federal immigration laws enacted by Congress, especially aliens from countries laws excluded, restricted and banned.  Open one door.  Open another.  <br><br>I understand why LaRose might want to keep this conversation closed, especially with his grandparents arriving around the time of Congress' 1917 "Eastern and Southern European" exclusion law.  Read about the KKK and Italian aliens in Niles, Ohio during the 1920&#8217;s when LaRose&#8217;s family immigrated here.<br><br>We have a constitutional amendment to ensure is enforced during this election cycle, and it ought to apply to every candidate on the ballot with an immigrant history.  I voted for "citizen only" elections and candidates.  I want it enforced, aggressively.<br><br>76.9 percent is a super-majority.  We spoke, Frank.  Investigate.

She was believed to send both good health and illness upon women and children.  Artemis was also a goddess of healing, but she brought and spread diseases such as leprosy, rabies, and gout.  In later religious poems, Artemis is depicted in three forms: <em>Selene</em> in the sky representing the moon, <em>Artemis</em> on the earth in her huntsman persona, and <em>Hecate</em> in the lower world wrapped in darkness and evil magic.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

of the federal discretionary budget). It comes from general tax revenue and is approved via spending bills signed into law by the President.  The current NASA Budget (Fiscal Year 2026) is $24.4 billion for FY 2026.  This represents a small decrease (about 1.6%) from FY 2025 levels, which were around $24.9 billion.</p><p>NASA&#8217;s budget makes up roughly 0.3% to 0.35% of the total U.S. federal budget (which is in the range of $6.8&#8211;7 trillion annually in recent years).  In recent years, the entire federal government has spent the equivalent of about 270&#8211;280 &#8220;NASAs&#8221; per year (i.e., if you stacked up $25 billion blocks to match total spending).  Historically, NASA&#8217;s share peaked during the Apollo era (over 4% of the federal budget in the mid-1960s) but has hovered around 0.3&#8211;0.5% since the 2010s.</p><p>We have homeless Americans of every age on the streets right now.

Psychologically, ones inability to grasp reality when being told a lie, can stem from fear of being wrong, tribal loyalty, emotional investment in the belief, or &#8220;sunk-cost fallacy&#8221; (having already invested too much in the false idea to let it go). The opposite, however, is intellectual humility or a genuine truth-seeking mindset: being willing to change your mind when the evidence demands it, no matter how inconvenient.</p><p>Now, on to the evidence of the ongoing lie.</p><p>Look at this photo below.

Rumble Channel <em>Psinergy</em>, specifically from one of her recent videos <a href="https://rumble.com/v7770a8-ssi-update.html?e9s=src_v1_sa%2Csrc_v1_sa_o%2Csrc_v1_upp_a">HERE</a>.</p><p>While I have written and spoken about this in the past, I want to lay this out as simply as possible, with diagrams, white-papers and web-links to accompany this. </p><p>I will continue to say, that in my opinion, this is the most frightening thing occurring today, that is also unfortunately occurring with the blind participation of the masses, with there being very little that we can do about it.  This subject is not receiving the attention nor the destruction that is deserves.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Mesh Networking</h3><blockquote><p>&#8220;A mesh network is a decentralized network topology where multiple nodes (routers or access points) connect directly and dynamically to each other to provide seamless, widespread coverage. Unlike traditional routers, they self-configure and self-heal, ensuring consistent connectivity throughout large homes, offices, or industrial areas.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div

nanomachines, the intra-body nanonetwork, and the cyber internet to facilitate information exchange. While extensive research has concentrated on optimizing communication efficiency among nanodevices within networks, challenges such as IoBNT security and the interface linking nanonetwork to the internet have remained unaddressed. Consequently, this study introduces a privacy scheme designed to operate atop the Physical Cyber Interface (pHCI) within the IoBNT framework. Our proposed chaotic system derives its foundation from the command signals issued by medical personnel to pHCI devices implanted within the human body.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Subsequently, we study its performance by employing multi-compartmental models in both the forward and reverse pHCI directions of the IoBNT paradigm. The results from our simulation model clearly illustrate that the IoBNT-based privacy scheme has potential to enhance the delivery of therapeutic drugs to target cells while effectively addressing privacy concerns.</p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

faster than 5G and near-zero latency. It will integrate AI-native architectures, advanced sensing, and Terahertz (THz) frequencies to enable holographic communication, immersive digital twins, and connected robotics.  7G is future technology likely not to appear until 2035 or later, intended for advanced, hyper-fast, and AI-integrated communication.  6G and 7G are future wireless communication standards succeeding 5G. 6G (expected ~2030) targets speeds up to 1 Tbps using THz frequencies, merging digital/physical worlds with AI-native services and holographic communication. 7G (envisioned ~2040) aims for 1&#8211;10+ Tbps, using quantum communication for true space roaming, global satellite integration, and advanced neural interfaces.</p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

the following, while always spinning the adaptation of this high-speed frequency as being a positive element in human advancement and never a negative one:</p><blockquote><p>The scoping review shows the capability of the transformative potential of 6G technology, particularly in healthcare and urban development, emphasizing its enhanced data transfer speeds, reduced latency, and increased capacity that can significantly improve patient care through better <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/remote-sensing">remote monitoring</a>, security, and <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/telemedicine">telemedicine</a> services. It stresses the vital role of policymakers in guiding the development of 6G infrastructure, ensuring effective spectrum allocation, and implementing robust security measures while addressing health and electromagnetic exposure concerns. Policymakers are urged to adopt security-by-design principles, adhere to international standards, and foster collaboration among academia, industry, and government to drive innovation and ensure the responsible deployment of 6G technology. By stimulating research and establishing clear performance metrics, they can facilitate continuous improvement and adaptation, ultimately benefiting society as a whole. The review concludes that strategic policy formulation is essential for maximizing the advantages of 6G technology, leading to more intelligent, productive, and sustainable societal

established in 2000 to coordinate nanotechnology efforts across government agencies. It supports research, infrastructure, and education to advance science at the atomic/molecular level (nanometers), accelerating the commercialization of new materials and devices.  The NNI provides a framework to advance scientific research and commercial applications of materials that have unique properties due to their tiny size, spanning from manufacturing and healthcare to electronics.</p></blockquote><p>Yes, that&#8217;s right.  This has been around since 2000 and it&#8217;s funded with your tax dollars.  The government doesn&#8217;t even hide their willful participation of nanotechnology within the human body, and doing whatever they can to implant the human body with as much of this as possible, while at the same time building the mesh network around us physically within every environment.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Everything from sexual crimes against minors, to Ohioans fear-mongering about property-tax abolishment being on the November ballot (of which should be abolished), to the Ohio Governor&#8217;s primary race, ongoing Somali fraud, the battle against data centers, CEO&#8217;s purchasing Ohio towns, and much more.  Stating that this is a battle between good and evil is an understatement.  </p><p>But first, some good news.</p><div><hr></div><h3>The Indecent Exposure Modernization Act.</h3><p>This week, (House Bill 249) is legislation passed by the Ohio House of Representatives on March 25 or 26, 2026 (depending on the exact reporting). It passed by a vote of 63-32 (or 63-30 in some accounts), largely along party lines, with most Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed (one Republican reportedly voted no). The bill, sponsored by Reps. Angie King (R-Celina) and Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Twp.), now moves to the Ohio Senate for consideration.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;8d5c5ecf-66ab-4162-8134-43e4f1973a7c&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>The bill amends sections of the Ohio Revised Code (primarily 2907.09 on public indecency, 2907.39 on harmful material to juveniles, and 4301.25 on liquor control) to &#8220;modernize&#8221; outdated obscenity and indecency laws. </p><p>Key elements include:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Unlawful adult cabaret performance: </strong>It creates a new offense prohibiting anyone from recklessly engaging in an &#8220;adult cabaret performance&#8221; (with knowledge of its character and content) anywhere other than a designated adult cabaret venue (e.g., certain nightclubs or bars). These performances are described as those marketed to adults, involving adult themes, imagery, or sexually explicit content that could be harmful to minors. The goal is to restrict such shows from public spaces, family-friendly events, or locations where children might be present.</p></li><li><p><strong>Expanded public indecency definition:</strong> It updates the definition of public indecency by replacing the vague term &#8220;private parts&#8221; (which was undefined in prior law) with &#8220;private area.&#8221; This explicitly includes genitals and breasts. The change aims to close loopholes, particularly in private spaces like restrooms, locker rooms, and changing areas, to better protect women and children from unwanted exposure. An explicit exception is carved out for women breastfeeding.</p></li><li><p><strong>Protections for children and privacy:</strong> Supporters emphasize strengthening safeguards against exposing minors to obscene or sexualized performances and reinforcing privacy in sex-segregated facilities. It also updates penalties and definitions related to obscenity and harmful material to juveniles.</p></li></ul><p>Supporters&#8217; PerspectiveProponents, including House Republicans and groups like the Center for Christian Virtue, frame the bill as common-sense child protection. They argue it preserves children&#8217;s innocence, prevents &#8220;adult fetishes&#8221; or explicit content from invading public/family spaces, and addresses real-world incidents (e.g., a case in Xenia involving exposure). It does not outright ban drag shows or artistic performances (although it should) but it limits those deemed obscene or adult-oriented to adult-only venues.</p><p>Opponents, including drag performers, LGBTQ+ advocates, and some media outlets (basically, all wack-jobs like this lady in the video below), argue the bill is overly broad and could effectively criminalize certain drag shows, gender-nonconforming performances, or expressions of gender identity different from biological sex, especially in venues accessible to minors.  They view it as a targeted restriction on &#8220;artistic expression&#8221; and warn it may face constitutional challenges.  Supporters counter that it is narrowly tailored to existing obscenity standards and does not ban drag outright (although again, it should).</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;5aac337b-9103-4ee1-b150-2203548ebb4c&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>As of March 27, 2026, the bill has passed the House and is pending introduction or further action in the Ohio Senate. The full text and analysis are available on the Ohio Legislature website (legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/hb249). Like many such measures, it is expected to draw legal scrutiny if enacted.  In summary, the act seeks to update Ohio&#8217;s indecency and obscenity statutes for clearer enforcement in the modern context, prioritizing child protection and privacy while restricting explicit adult-oriented performances outside licensed adult venues. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It is primarily used to describe a much broader range of &#8220;trans-&#8221; identities that go beyond gender, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Transracial / Trace (identifying as a different race or ethnicity than one&#8217;s biological or assigned one)</p></li><li><p>Transabled (identifying as disabled when one is not physically disabled, or desiring a specific disability)</p></li><li><p>Transage (identifying as a different age than one&#8217;s chronological age)</p></li><li><p>Transbody / Transspecies (feeling one should have a different body type, species, etc.)</p></li><li><p>Transplural (identifying as plural/system when one is not)</p></li><li><p>Many other niche or coined terms (e.g., transethnic, transcharacter, various &#8220;trans-&#8221; prefixes for almost any trait)</p></li></ul><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;d125877f-976e-4114-b95b-d36168906c6c&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>The site frames these as valid forms of identity that expand the concept of &#8220;trans&#8221; beyond its common usage in transgender contexts.

Ohio is experiencing a surge in legislative activity around data centers (large facilities that power AI, cloud computing, and data processing). This is due to rapid growth in data center development across the state, driven by tax incentives, relatively low electricity costs, and demand from tech companies.  Outrage to these data centers has grown in many rural and suburban communities due to concerns over massive electricity and water consumption, strain on the power grid, limited job creation, noise/light pollution, and minimal local economic benefits. At least 18 communities have enacted or considered temporary moratoriums on new projects.</p><ol><li><p><strong>House Bill 646 &#8211; Ohio Data Center Study Commission (Main focus right now).</strong></p></li></ol><ul><li><p>Passed the Ohio House unanimously (93-0) on March 18, 2026.</p></li><li><p>Creates a 13-member Ohio Data Center Study Commission within the Department of Development.</p></li><li><p>The commission would study impacts on:</p><ul><li><p>Environment</p></li><li><p>Energy use and electricity prices</p></li><li><p>Water consumption</p></li><li><p>Local quality of life</p></li><li><p>Economy and tax incentives</p></li></ul></li><li><p>It must submit findings and legislative recommendations within six months of the bill&#8217;s effective date.</p></li><li><p>Current status: Referred to the Senate&#8217;s Financial Institutions, Insurance and Technology Committee on March 25, 2026. It has bipartisan interest as a way to gather data before major policy changes.</p></li></ul><p><strong>2. Efforts to limit or regulate data centers.</strong></p><ul><li><p>Senate bills (introduced in the past two weeks as of late March 2026):</p><ul><li><p>SB 374: Prohibits new data center sales tax exemptions after a certain date (phasing out the incentive that has existed since 2011).</p></li><li><p>SB 378 (Responsible Water Use by Data Centers Act): Requires transparency on water usage and prevents hiding data in NDAs.</p></li><li><p>Another bill requiring state approval or proof of community investment before large electricity connections.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>These add to earlier proposals like House Bill 706 (bipartisan), which would require data centers to enter long-term contracts with utilities, pay for their own grid upgrades, and prevent costs from being shifted to regular ratepayers.</p></li></ul><p><strong>3. Tax incentives debate.</strong></p><ul><li><p>Ohio currently offers substantial sales tax exemptions for qualifying data centers (costing the state ~$150&#8211;200 million annually in recent estimates).</p></li><li><p>Lawmakers have delayed votes on overriding or repealing these breaks (including in the recent budget process). There is strong lobbying on both sides, with critics (including the Ohio Farm Bureau and groups like Innovation Ohio) arguing the incentives provide little local benefit while burdening taxpayers and utilities.</p></li></ul><p><strong>4. The push for a ban.</strong></p><ul><li><p>A group of rural Ohioans (e.g., from Adams and Pickaway Counties) has proposed a constitutional amendment to ban construction of data centers larger than 25 megawatts.</p></li><li><p>On March 26&#8211;27, 2026, Attorney General Dave Yost certified the petition title and summary, allowing the effort to move forward to the Ohio Ballot Board and eventual signature gathering for the ballot (potentially November 2026).</p></li></ul><p>Both Republicans and Democrats have introduced bills, though approaches differ (study-first vs. immediate restrictions on taxes, water, and grid costs).  Many bills are still early in the process (referred to committees, awaiting hearings).  The debate pits economic development and tech industry growth against protecting local communities, farmland, and ratepayers from high infrastructure costs.</p><p>The situation is evolving quickly. HB 646 (the study commission) is the most advanced bill and is seen by many as a foundational step, but what good is another committee if people can be bought?</p><div><hr></div><h3>Ongoing Somali

stealing a combined ~$530,000. One notable case involved Mustafa Issa (34) and his wife Ayshia Mustapha (28), who were charged in connection with a home health care agency. However, news reporting on these and other 2025 Medicaid fraud cases (which totaled 67 individuals charged/convicted statewide for over $8.5 million) noted that suspects had recognizably Muslim or Somali names.  Dave Yost also criticized Ohio citizen journalists for caring, and doing their own investigations into Somali fraud.</p><p>The Ohio Department of Children and Youth received 90 tips about potential fraud in daycares from January 1, 2026 onward (a sharp rise from 124 tips the entire previous year). Some overpayments were identified (e.g., ~60 cases totaling ~$2 million statewide in prior periods, with some repayments), but officials (including Gov. Mike DeWine) have stated that most appear to be unintentional errors rather than criminal fraud, and only a small number of centers were shut down.  </p><p>&#8220;Unintentional.&#8221;  Yeah.  Sure.  </p><p>No widespread arrests tied specifically to Somalis in daycares have been detailed in mainstream reporting during the last four months. </p><p>Whistleblower claims (e.g., from attorney Mehek Cooke in December 2025) and viral discussions have alleged long-running Medicaid/home health care fraud schemes involving parts of Ohio&#8217;s Somali community, potentially involving millions, and there is no reason to doubt these claims.  These echo scandals in Minnesota but remain largely un-investigated in Ohio&#8212;as no large-scale arrests or indictments matching the scale of Minnesota&#8217;s cases have been publicly announced over the last four months.</p><div><hr></div><p>The battle for Ohio is right here.  If Ohioans don&#8217;t stand up and take a stand against the likes of Vivek Ramaswamy, Amy Acton, H1B visas, data centers, sexual perversions, Somali fraud, corrupt schools and endless more examples of corruption, we are one election cycle away from losing the battle for good.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

confirms it, as do the current happenings, along with everything that we&#8217;ve learned since, specifically about a CBDC (central bank digital currency); but, what we also know about the past with the central-banking system of the old.  </p><p>Like usual, it&#8217;s just angry jews fighting over money and who gets control of it without being taxed, or people knowing what they&#8217;re doing.  But, there&#8217;s more to it than that, too.  It&#8217;s about destroying underground leverage in a black market of monetary control.</p><p>The post reads as follows:</p><blockquote><p>Iran is not an insolvent pariah state. Iran is the primary source of unhedged liquidity for the shadow banking system. London is the hub; Tehran is the offshore battery. IRGC energy credits are not sold, they&#8217;re swapped for vostro credits in mid-tier Omani banks. These credits get bundled into collateralized synthetic obligations. They hit the London repo desks as high-quality collateral to back short-term loans. Without this 24/7 inflow of dark energy-backed paper, the City of London&#8217;s leverage ratios collapse.</p><p>The 2026 Iran war is based on two factions of the global elite fighting one another. Their fight has gone from boardrooms to kinetic events, which can also be seen via other seemingly unconnected &#8220;accidents&#8221; in the form of private transport crashes and security lapses for world leaders.</p><p>Faction A:</p><p>Old money central bankers, they aim to keep the Iran loop open at all costs. They know the western debt-to-GDP ratio is terminal. They use the shadow-trade to suppress domestic inflation and keep the repo market from seizing. To them, a nuclear deal is just a legal patch to keep the detergent flowing.</p><p>Faction B:</p><p>Silicon Valley neo-feudalists, they aim for kinetic escalation and regime change. They want to force a global default and great reset to move everyone onto a fully CBC-tracked ledger. They attack the Iran loop because it is un-tracked and gives old money a way to survive without their tech.</p><p>There is no blockade, it&#8217;s a monopoly. The sanctions are not walls, they re tolls. They create a compliance tax that ensures only the 5 biggest banks can handle the volume.</p><p>Seizing the central bank of Iran is about deleting the last off-grid gold reserves. If the Iran loop breaks, London will take a 30% liquidity haircut within 48 hours, which one may see via a shift in the gold-to-oil ratio. Escalation will probably involve cutting subsea cables.</p><p>The system is cannibalizing its own infrastructure to stay alive.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

war involving Iran (which appears to have started recently based on context) is not primarily about nuclear weapons, terrorism, or geopolitics as publicly presented. Instead, it&#8217;s framed as an internal power struggle between two elite global factions fighting over control of the financial system, with Iran playing a hidden but critical role in providing &#8220;dark&#8221; (untracked/illicit) liquidity.Core Claim: Iran&#8217;s Secret Financial Role (&#8221;The Iran Loop&#8221;)The theory asserts Iran is not a broke, isolated pariah state. Through the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) and its energy/oil operations, Iran secretly supplies massive amounts of unhedged, off-the-books liquidity into the global shadow banking system.</p></blockquote><ul><li><p>How it supposedly works:</p><ul><li><p>IRGC-controlled energy credits (from oil) aren&#8217;t sold openly due to sanctions.</p></li><li><p>They&#8217;re swapped (via intermediaries like Omani banks) into &#8220;vostro&#8221; credits or similar instruments.</p></li><li><p>These get bundled into synthetic/collateralized obligations (high-quality-looking paper backed by energy assets).</p></li><li><p>This &#8220;dark energy-backed paper&#8221; flows into London&#8217;s repo markets as collateral for short-term loans and leveraged operations.</p></li><li><p>This constant 24/7 inflow helps stabilize the City of London&#8217;s leverage ratios and prevents repo market freezes.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Consequence if disrupted: Without this flow, London/the Western financial system faces a sudden ~30% liquidity hit within 48 hours (visible in shifts like the gold-to-oil ratio). Seizing Iran&#8217;s central bank would delete the last major off-grid gold/oil reserves and break this hidden lifeline.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>This &#8220;Iran loop&#8221; is portrayed as a shadow plumbing that props up the debt-saturated Western system by providing unregulated liquidity that suppresses visible inflation and keeps repo/short-term funding flowing.The Two Factions Fighting Over ItThe war is allegedly a kinetic escalation of a boardroom-level conflict between two elite groups (with spillover into &#8220;accidents&#8221; like plane crashes or security failures among leaders):</p></blockquote><ul><li><p>Faction A &#8212; &#8220;Old money&#8221; central bankers (traditional finance, City of London, etc.):</p><ul><li><p>Want to keep the Iran loop open at all costs.</p></li><li><p>They view Western debt-to-GDP as terminal/unsustainable.</p></li><li><p>They rely on this shadow trade to:</p><ul><li><p>Suppress domestic inflation.</p></li><li><p>Prevent repo markets from seizing up.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>To them, a nuclear deal with Iran is just a convenient &#8220;legal patch&#8221; to keep the liquidity (&#8221;detergent&#8221; typo for &#8220;leverage&#8221; or similar) flowing.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Faction B &#8212; &#8220;Silicon Valley neo-feudalists&#8221; (tech billionaires pushing digital control):</p><ul><li><p>Want escalation, regime change in Iran, and disruption of the loop.</p></li><li><p>Goal: Force a global default / financial crisis (&#8221;great reset&#8221;).</p></li><li><p>Transition everyone to a fully trackable CBDC (central bank digital currency) system under their technological monopoly.</p></li><li><p>They see the untracked Iran loop as a loophole letting &#8220;old money&#8221; survive without handing control to tech-led surveillance finance.</p></li><li><p>Sanctions aren&#8217;t blockades &#8212; they&#8217;re tolls that funnel volume only through the biggest 5 banks (creating a controlled oligopoly).</p></li><li><p>Escalation tactics could include cutting undersea cables or other infrastructure hits to accelerate collapse.</p></li></ul></li></ul><blockquote><p>In short, the poster argues ordinary people are just ammunition in an elite civil war: traditional finance wants to preserve hidden liquidity channels to limp along the current system, while tech elites want to crash it deliberately to impose a new, fully controlled digital monetary order.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>The question now is, where does this leave The President of the United States and where does this end?  </p><p>I think it&#8217;s clear that the central-banking system of the old days (the old order) is on it&#8217;s way out, as the UK itself has not even entered this Iran conflict and they have not been shy about that.  Neither has the European Union.  That is very telling, as both globalist entities run on the old central-banking system.</p><p>This would imply that the post above is real and the UK and EU know what is going on, so they don&#8217;t want to look involved in what intel is found in Iran.  Then on the other side, you have the Tech-bros wanting to gain control of the assets there to help their own digital-banking endeavors.  </p><p>I don&#8217;t claim to know all of the ins-and-outs, but I do think one thing is clear: This has nothing to do with &#8220;nuclear&#8221; weapons or kneeling to Israel, and it has everything to do with shutting down backchannels of the illegal movement of assets in exchange for favors or starting more conflicts in the future, with money being used as the typical leverage.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

societies, or shadowy organizations, that deliberately insert subtle references, scenes, or themes into mainstream media (movies, TV shows, books, cartoons, etc.) to psychologically condition or &#8220;program&#8221; the public in advance.  The core idea is that by exposing people to fictional depictions of planned future events, societal changes, technologies, disasters, or control mechanisms, the population becomes subconsciously familiar with them.  When those events actually occur in reality, people are less likely to resist, question, or panic because they&#8217;ve already been mentally prepared to accept them as &#8220;normal,&#8221; &#8220;inevitable,&#8221; or &#8220;just like in the movie.&#8221;</p><p>The term was popularized (and possibly coined) by the late researcher Alan Watt.  He described it as:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as natural progressions, thus lessening possible public resistance and commotion.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>This frames media as a tool of mass mind control or soft evil-propaganda, often tied to broader theories about elite manipulation, false flags, or New World Order agendas.</p><p>Now, think about the COVID-lie of 2020 and the actions/behaviors of our fellow citizens.</p><div><hr></div><p>Enter the Daniel Graig James-Bond movies.</p><p>The concept of <em>Smart Blood</em> first appears in the James Bond movie <em>Spectre</em> (2015) and carries over into <em>No Time to Die</em> (2021). It&#8217;s described in the films as &#8220;a shot of nano molecules&#8221; that turns Bond into a walking transmitter.  Heracles (named after the Greek hero) is the nano-technology project in <em>No Time to Die</em>, and it&#8217;s essentially a sci-fi bioweapon that can be tailored to kill entire families or groups based on genetic code.

It&#8217;s initially developed as a targeted assassination tool but gets hijacked and weaponized by the villain Lyutsifer Safin and rogue scientist Valdo Obruchev for mass-scale bioterrorism.</p><p>The film repeatedly refers to it as Heracles in dialogue (e.g., Q explains the nanobots, Obruchev discusses modifications, and Safin name-drops it).  It&#8217;s not a traditional chemical poison like cyanide or digitalis (those appear in other Bond films); it&#8217;s sci-fi nanotech delivered via spray/contact for targeted lethality.  </p><p>Only this is reality and not science fiction.  </p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;7c502103-57fa-43e0-a101-1607acde4a4d&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;b3d07dc3-2624-491c-86f5-35426fde64ed&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>In an earlier scene from <em>No Time to Die</em>, the main bad-guy, Lyutsifer Safin (played by Rami Malek), asks Madeleine Swann, (played by French actress L&#233;a Seydoux) to spray herself (her wrist) with a poison, that when applied to others of a specific genetic code, it will kill them on contact.  Her mission was to touch Ernst Stavro Blofeld (played by Christoph Waltz) and kill him as a result of the poison that is on her wrist, as it would be easily transferred over to him.</p><p>In the scene below, James Bond grabs Madeleine&#8217;s wrist.

Dutch lawyer suing the Architects of the Great Reset quotes Dr. Francis Boyle, who died right after agreeing to testify:</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>&#8220;The COVID mRNA injection is a bioweapon... conceived by the Pentagon.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;The core of Professor Boyle&#8217;s argument is that the COVID-19 mRNA injections contain derivatives of illegal military gene-function research. As a result, the COVID-19 injections qualify by definition as a military biological weapon system. A, bioweapon, in other words.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;This technology is, as Boyle declared, paid for, developed, financed and conceived by the Pentagon and its research institute DARPA. This technology platform, nanotechnology platform, was not an afterthought.&#8221;</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>This clip of Peter Stassen, the lawyer suing the &#8220;Architects of the Great Reset&#8221; in Dutch court on behalf of plaintiffs harmed by the Covid injections, is taken from a video posted by Dr. Joseph Sansone to Rumble on March 14, 2026. <br>Sansone is one of five expert witnesses involved in the case, along with retired pharma R&amp;D executive Sasha Latypova (<a href="https://x.com/sasha_latypova">@sasha_latypova</a>), former Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts (<a href="https://x.com/solari_the">@solari_the</a>), et al. </p><p>Note that Dr. Francis Boyle, an eminent professor of international law who helped to draft the implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, died mysteriously soon after he agreed to take part in this lawsuit.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;ea984e83-27a8-4b04-ac08-7989b190bb3f&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><div><hr></div><p>The James Bond movie <em>No Time to Die </em>was in pre-production in 2017&#8211;2018. However, the film faced multiple major delays, of which assuredly were not accidental in the context of the COVID lie rollout and predictive programming:</p><ul><li><p>First delay (due to director Danny Boyle&#8217;s departure over creative differences in August 2018): Pushed from November 2019 to February 14, 2020 (Valentine&#8217;s Day slot), then further adjusted to April 2020 (often cited as April 8&#8211;10, 2020, depending on region; e.g., April 10 in the US).</p></li><li><p>Second delay (early COVID-19 pandemic impact, announced March 2020): Shifted to November 2020 (November 12 in the UK, November 25 in the US; later tweaked slightly to November 20 in the US).</p></li><li><p>Third delay (ongoing pandemic and theater concerns, October 2020): Moved to April 2, 2021 (Easter weekend).</p></li><li><p>Final delay (January 2021, due to continued global restrictions): Rescheduled to October 8, 2021 (US), with UK premiere on September 28, 2021, and wide release September 30, 2021.</p></li></ul><p>It ultimately premiered in September 2021 and hit wide release in October 2021&#8212;about two years after the original November 2019 plan, and 18 months after the &#8220;pre-pandemic&#8221; April 2020 target.  By this time, mask-wearing had been normalized, the COVID shot recipients had received at least two shots, and booster shots were now being administered, with the age of the recipient being lowered to everyone below the age of 18.</p><p>The timing was not an accident.  It was coordinated.  Release the movie too soon, and the number of COVID-shot recipients among the human populace might have been lower, as more people may have woken up the the predictive programming that was in plain sight in <em>No Time to Die</em>.  Or, delay the movie multiple times, hide the predictive programming after the damage among the human populace has already been done, and let the chips fall where they may.</p><div><hr></div><div

It&#8217;s designed to laugh at the viewer and subtly let them know what is coming or what has already been developed and what will then be introduced into the human populace, with or without one&#8217;s foreknowledge or consent.  Therefore, <em>Predictive Programming </em>is another from of mind-control and psychological manipulation.  This is a never-ending game that the enemies of humanity play on everyone.

Yes it does.</p><div><hr></div><p>On May 2, 2025, I published the first of three articles about the sexual abuse investigation into Jason Merz, a Talawanda City School District elementary-school principal in Oxford, Ohio.  That first article can be read <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/talawanda-elementary-school-principal">HERE</a>.</p><p>Two weeks later, on May 16, 2025, I published the next article on this subject.  That article can be read <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/talawanda-city-schools-involvement">HERE</a>.</p><div><hr></div><p>Now, as of March 2026, the investigation, decision-making process, and appellate process of Jason Merz&#8217;s Title IX has concluded.  I am <em>not</em> legally allowed to publish an entire Title IX document, which typically includes interviews,  responses to the interviews, decision-maker&#8217;s statement, appellate documents, nor an appeal-officers decision, all of which I have been told about verbally in their entirety.  </p><p>I would not have injected my participation into this Title IX process had I not have know about Title IX&#8217;s in general, previously.  If I did not believe the veracity of the child&#8217;s account in this case, I would have not participated in this process and I would have stayed quiet.  With that said, I believe the account of the child, in this Title IX case of Jason Merz, more now, that I already did.</p><p>I will describe what I have heard, and provide my own opinion and unsolicited professional development of Title IX investigations in general, for transparency, within the legal bounds.  Transparency, I might add, that the Talawanda School District in Oxford, Ohio will never engage in themselves.  </p><p>If the Talawanda School District ever releases any Title IX investigation to anyone, they are violating FERPA (which they have done before [not Title IX related to my knowledge] and are currently being federally investigated for doing so by the Federal Department of Education).  If Talawanda School District violates FERPA in this case, Federal charges will be filed against them.  </p><p>Even redacted versions of a Title IX are not allowed to be released by any school district, as they typically contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and such information is not limited to the names of minors.  They can include dates, times, locations, IP addresses, names of all parties (adults included) and more.  Under no circumstance can such a redacted or un-redacted document, such as a Title IX investigation, be released to the public by a school district, unless ordered by a judge to be used in a court of law or for a civil lawsuit or criminal charges.</p><p>I have been told that members of the Oxford, Ohio public are online (Facebook) calling for the arrest of the parent who made the allegation.  A parent, nor a child, can ever be arrested nor prosecuted for making good-faith allegations against a school district or a school employee.  Ohio law strongly encourages and protects reporting of suspected child abuse and Ohio has a mandatory reporting law under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) &#167; 2151.421, which requires certain professionals (and allows anyone) to report suspected abuse or neglect.  Good-faith reporters are immune from civil or criminal liability.  Parents (or anyone) making reports about abuse by another party (e.g., the other parent, a relative, a school official or someone else) are protected when acting in good faith, as was the case here.</p><p>Not to mention, ask yourself this question: <strong>What parent or child goes through the whole painful process of a criminal investigation and a Title IX investigation (as you will hear about below) with such a serious allegation, if the allegation is false?</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>The parent who initiated the Title IX process gave me permission to publish my own personal opinion of these events at it&#8217;s conclusion, as portions of the Title IX were told to me verbally.  I also have written more books about the topic of violence in school, than those who are involved in such circumstances, and more than anyone in this town of Oxford, Ohio, let alone perhaps even within the State of Ohio, if not the entire nation.  </p><p>I am not a novice regarding this subject.</p><p>My comments and opinions on this are being made public and are my own, with the full consent of the accusing party, as they knew that the right thing would not be done in this process from the very start; and they were right.  They did not trust the school system to do the right thing, the Oxford Police Department to do the right thing, nor the completed Title IX &#8220;decision-maker&#8221; to do the right thing, although the outcome was assumed from the beginning, based on legal precedent in similar horrific cases.  </p><p>Frankly put, the law within Ohio and within our nation does not protect minors.  Instead, it shields child abusers, and so do <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/one-out-of-five">American school districts</a>.</p><div><hr></div><p>You, the reader, have a decision to make.  Believe a school district with a pattern of unprofessionalism, illegality and dishonesty; or believe a child&#8217;s account and your own intuition.  </p><p>That choice is yours.</p><div><hr></div><h3>The Title IX Process.</h3><p>In any Title IX investigation in America, there are typically three Title IX participants/differing titles from outside of the school district who participate in this process.  In this case, as with others, all three participants (with differing titles) are ultimately paid by the school district themselves or the law firms that the school district pays.  In this case, as in all cases, they included a single Title IX Investigator, a single Decision-Maker, and a single Appeals Officer.  as it turns out, all three of these individuals have engaged in Title IX&#8217;s in Talawanda previously.  </p><p>When an allegation of sexual abuse, misconduct or anything similar is made within a federally-funded American system, the accusing party has the right to a <em>formal</em> or <em>informal</em> Title IX investigation.  </p><p>If they choose an <em>informal</em> investigation, then the school itself conducts the investigation from within.  Given the criminal nature of the people within schools themselves, how many <em>informal</em> Title IX investigations occur where a school holds itself accountably for wrong-doing?  Next to <em>zero,</em> is the answer.</p><p>A <em>formal</em> Title IX investigation can also be conducted, in lieu of an <em>informal</em> investigation.  When this happens, a meeting takes place between the accusing party, their advisor/representative (which can be made up of a lawyer or another individual who knows about the accusation), and then an outside investigator is assigned to the case.  </p><p>During this meeting, before the formal start of the Title IX investigation into Jason Merz, the parent of the child in this case met with Talawanda employees Stephanie Aerni (a Title IX coordinator for the district at the time), and Mike Malone (the HR Director at the time and the other Title IX coordinator for the district at the time).  Within this meeting the child abuse was again detailed by the mother with their advisor present, and Talawanda employee Stephanie Aerni began to weep (as stated by two persons who were in the room).  After the parent signed off for a <em>formal</em> Title IX to commence, the mother left the meeting abruptly in tears.  </p><p>Soon after, a Title IX investigator/lawyer in Ohio was assigned the investigative duties, as Title IX investigations occur within the state of the complaint, unless the complaint ultimately makes it&#8217;s way to the Federal level through the Federal Department of Education.  All Title IX investigations can be reviewed in the FDOE&#8217;s Title IX field office in Colorado, if they receive a complaint.  Otherwise, the investigation stays within the state of the accusation.</p><p>The Ohio Title IX investigator conducted interviews.  First and foremost, all employees are given the right to <em><strong>not</strong></em> participate in any Title IX investigation or interview process, and are <em><strong>not</strong></em> obligated to do so. </p><p>I was interviewed for the investigation and offered my services willingly, as I believed that I had more information about the incident than others, and I still know this to be true.</p><p>After the investigative process and interviews are gathered in any Title IX, communication is consistent between the accusing party and the investigator throughout the investigative process.  If any new information comes to light, then such information is sent to the investigator, and that happened in this case.</p><p>The investigator gives both the accuser and the accused an opportunity to respond to all interviews that are conducted at the conclusion, to highlight facts, inconsistencies or blatant lies.  Then, when the investigator is in receipt of these responses back, they are complete with their end of the investigation.  </p><p>The Title IX investigator then sends off all of the materials and documents to a &#8220;decision-maker.&#8221;  This is typically one person, sometimes two or more.  Sometimes they are lawyers, although not always. </p><p>Once they render their so-called &#8220;decision,&#8221; they allow for an appeal.  The appeal process almost never reverses the decision-makers decision, regardless of proven impropriety or new evidence.  The lack of objectivity can be remarkably obvious, however, a &#8220;decision-maker&#8217;s&#8221; decision typically rests on the specified incident itself, and they don&#8217;t focuses on the other circumstances that may surround the current incident.  </p><div><hr></div><p>In summary, the decision-maker decided that Talawanda did not violate Title IX.  This does not mean that child abuse did not occur.  It just means that a decision-maker, based on a lack of other definitive evidence (i.e., witnesses, security footage etc.), cannot rule that this occurred, because &#8220;<em><strong>He said-He said</strong></em>&#8221; cases are typically not ruled on in Title IX&#8217;s or in courts of law, as you will read more about below.  In fact, even in abuse cases between students within school environments, where there are credible witnesses, and Title IX investigators are started involving school employees or students themselves, the decision-makers can still rule in favor of the school or the employees and abusive students.  This happens all of the time, and it&#8217;s remarkably unfortunate.</p><p>I was told that the decision-maker in this case did believe, however, that the child did not report the suspected abuse in a timely manner, after the abuse occurred, because he thought no one would believe him.  </p><p>However, it was told to me that the child was allegedly threatened by Jason Merz to not tell anyone, as even this apparently occurred in a verbal exchange in the bathroom from Jason Merz to the child.</p><p>Doesn&#8217;t that place Jason Merz in a bathroom stall, with a child, based on the child&#8217;s account?</p><div><hr></div><p>The incident in questions was previously published by the parent of the child in an email to the school district, which initiated the Title IX investigation.  It stated the following, which was sent to Talawanda School Board members in Oxford, Ohio; (<em>Board President Rebecca Howard, Dawn King, Matt Wyatt, Pat Meade and Chris Otto) </em>on May 1st 2025:</p><blockquote><p><em>Dear Members of the Talawanda School Board,</em></p><p><em>I am writing to you with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency regarding a deeply disturbing matter involving Elementary Principal Jason Merz and my son. It has taken immense courage to come forward, and I do so now only because another parent has shared a similar experience involving their child, giving me the strength to speak out.</em></p><p><em>Starting around Week 12 of 2024 my son started exhibiting different behaviors which continued until my son explained what happened early July of 2024, I immediately took him to Butler Behavioral Health for therapy. My son explained the following to me early July of 2024.</em></p><p><em>Jason (Merz) took him into the cafeteria bathroom stall and told him &#8220;Let me touch you&#8221;. My son told him &#8220;No&#8221; and tried to leave the bathroom stall. At that time, Jason Merz, put his leg and foot out and blocked him into the stall and forcibly touched my son and then made my son watch Jason pull his pants down too and proceeded to play with own his penis.</em></p><p><em>These incidents have caused him significant emotional distress, and as his parent, I am devastated that he has endured this violation received a report that clearly states my son shows signs of sexual abuse.</em></p><p><em>I have maintained notes documenting each occurrence, including dates, times, and specific details of the interactions, which I am prepared to share with the board and any relevant authorities to ensure a thorough investigation.</em></p><p><em>When I first became aware of this behavior, I was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty, unsure of how to protect my child while grappling with the weight of confronting such a serious issue. After another parent confided in me about similar concerns regarding their child, I realized that silence is no longer an option. This pattern of behavior must be addressed immediately to protect all students in our school community.</em></p><p><em>In an effort to ensure my son&#8217;s safety, I requested that he be transferred to another elementary school within the district. To my dismay, this request was denied, leaving my son in an environment where he feels unsafe and vulnerable. I implore the board to reconsider this decision and prioritize my son&#8217;s well-being by granting the transfer immediately.</em></p><p><em>I am calling on the Talawanda School Board to take swift and decisive action. This includes conducting a thorough investigation into Principal Merz&#8217;s conduct, ensuring accountability, and implementing measures to prevent such incidents in the future. No child should have to endure what my son and potentially other students have experienced. I trust that the board will treat this matter with the seriousness it demands and act in the best interests of our children.</em></p><p><em>Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the next steps, including how I can provide my detailed documentation and support the investigation. I am committed to advocating for my son and ensuring a safe learning environment for all students.</em></p><p><em>Sincerely,</em></p><p><em>(Parent).</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>From what I was told, the decision-maker made numerous mistakes.  </p><p>First, they apparently claimed that the abuse occurred during an exact timeframe. Either before or after Spring Break in March 25, 2024 through March 29, 2024.  </p><p>As it turns out, the date of the abuse was never specified by the parent, nor the child, let alone to the exact date of March 25, 2024 through March 29, 2024.  Not one time.  This was a time frame that was apparently made-up by someone else.  </p><p>The reported abuse occurred in the Spring of 2024, but no specified date was ever given, because it wasn&#8217;t remembered exactly.  After all, what child would remember the exact week or day that such abuse would occur, unless the abuse was tied to a specified calendar event in school that could easily be remembered and referenced?</p><p>As it was told to me, apparently a major point of contention dealt with the time in which &#8220;specials&#8221; classes were being held in Kramer Elementary (i.e, classes like music, art, gym etc.).  This means that when the child apparently stated that the abuse occurred in the morning hours (or so he apparently thought), the special classes were in the morning.  The point is, it doesn&#8217;t matter when the specials classes were (morning or afternoon) or when the suspected abuse occurred, because in the telling of the story, the child apparently stated that the hallways were empty, as was the bathroom and the cafeteria during the time of the abuse.  Therefore, any point of contention with any timing of specials classes, is irrelevant.  </p><p>That alone would narrow down the time in which the alleged abuse occurred.  It was apparently at a time when specials classes were in session, but the hallways were empty, as was the bathroom and the cafeteria, per the child&#8217;s accounts.  </p><p>School building principals also have access to security cameras and they use these cameras frequently, while possessing the ability to delete footage.  I can tell you from my own previous experience as a school teacher, school administrators willfully delete security-camera footage with regularity, unbeknownst to other parties.</p><p>Why would the Talawanda School District have as a policy that they delete the camera footage on their security cameras in their schools every 30 days?  Then, during the actual Title IX investigation itself, (from May 2025 through February 2026) why would they change that time-period down to 14 days, then down to only 10 days?  </p><p>Given that Jason Merz has access to the camera footage, did he delete the footage immediately after the alleged abuse?  Is it possible to back-log such a deletion from his district-issued computer?  Did an investigation into that happen?  </p><p>To my knowledge, such an investigation into his district-issued computer never occurred.</p><p>Keep in mind, too, that at no point was any of Jason Merz&#8217;s technology confiscated, at least not to my knowledge.  His district technology, his home devices, nothing.  No search warrant was ever issued in this case, at any point, to my knowledge.  That is highly unusual in a case of alleged child-sexual abuse at the hands of a school principal, but it&#8217;s not unusual if there is no other evidence to go on, other than his word and the word of a student, with no witnesses and no camera footage.  </p><p>Confiscating the technology and reviewing it would be the easiest part of an investigation, if more evidence existed, but it never happened to my knowledge, certainly not when Talawanda, back in 2024 when the alleged abuse occurred, only kept camera footage for 30 days, to only have it immediately deleted.  </p><p>As stated before, I was told there was not video footage to show Jason Merz walking into the bathroom after the child, in the described timetable or location, because at the time, as the district has reported publicly in school-board meetings, they delete the footage every 30 days.  Now, it&#8217;s deleted every 10 days.  Let that sink in.</p><p>Jason Merz also had access to school-related activities and sporting events during the Title IX investigation, and my own Open Records Requests in the Summer of 2025 prove this.  Superintendent Ed Theroux granted Jason Merz this permission to attend school events and was allowed to be on school property during an active Tile IX investigation into child sexual abuse.  </p><p>Ed Theroux told Jason Merz in requested emails that he needed to tell Ed Theroux before attending an event, but that he would be granted access.  Jason Merz also continued to communicate via email with other staff members during this time, as other meetings were being set up as if he was an active employee, and not on leave for a sexual-abuse investigation.  </p><p>All of these allowances that occurred during an active Title IX investigation for child sexual abuse, are highly irregular and highly unprofessional.  </p><p>In cases such as this, within school districts all across America, ALL contact is to cease with the school employee who is being investigated.  No emails are to be sent nor received, and all contact with Jason Merz, or Jason Merz communicating with other Talawanda employees (via email or otherwise) is to cease immediately, and no allowances are to be made, until a conclusion is reached in a Title IX investigation and the status of their employment is decided.  </p><div><hr></div><p>I was also told that the decision-maker also stated that they did not know what specified details were shared with Butler Behavioral Health (BBH) in a therapy session (July 2024) with the mother and the child, to their therapist, nor did they understand why a referral would not be made to CPS nor the Oxford Police Department in 2024 by BBH, when the abuse was first catalogued and reported to mandated reporters by the parent. I was also told that they noted that the Title IX investigator reached out to these Butler County reporting parties, yet they were told that any communications of reporting are hidden behind a subpoena, and not available to the public, let alone, the parent of a child.  </p><p>This is the form itself, from Butler Behavioral Health, written by BBH employee at the time, Lauren Krumpack, and it was submitted as evidence.  I have published this form before in previous Substack articles:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

a specific story of abuse in a specified area, and remembers exactly what was done and said by both parties, to then report this over the course of an entire year to at least four mandated reporters on at least five occasions, and not have their story waiver even once?  </p></li><li><p>How is it that a &#8220;decision-maker&#8221; can agree with the child about why they didn&#8217;t tell anyone sooner, when it was reported by the child that Jason Merz himself threatened the child to not tell anyone about this abuse, within the very bathroom where the abuse apparently occurred?  </p></li></ol><p>So, the &#8220;decision maker&#8221; didn&#8217;t believe the abuse occurred because there is no evidence of it with witnesses or video footage, but they do believe the child when the child was asked why he didn&#8217;t tell anyone sooner?  </p><p>The reason the child didn&#8217;t tell anyone sooner was because he was threatened by Jason Merz to not say anything IN THE BATHROOM STALL, as the child apparently reported.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Timeline of Reporting.</h3><p>To quickly review, this abuse that prompted the Title IX allegedly occurred in the Spring of 2024.  The child kept it a secret from his mother for approximately two months or so.  Then, his mother began to notice behaviors that were uncharacteristic, yet similar to a past abusive event that had occurred in the child&#8217;s life from a cousin of theirs, years earlier.  </p><p>When confronted if anything was wrong, the child told the mother what had happened regarding Jason Merz.  The mother signed them both up for family therapy through Butler County Behavioral Health, and reported the abuse to Butler County Behavioral Health in July of 2024, upon which a therapist named Lauren Krumpack signed off on it and reported it in writing to Butler County Children&#8217;s Services (CPS) in September of 2024.  </p><p>Sadly, this report was <em><strong>not</strong></em> made immediately by BBH, as Ohio law strictly mandates, but was made two-whole months <em><strong>after</strong></em> the abuse was first documented to a mandated reporter.  </p><p>As it turns out, under Ohio House Bill 4, effective in 2022, there is a cross-reporting requirement.  If BBH accepts a report, they must cross-report it to CPS. When CPS accepts a report, they must cross-report it to law enforcement <em><strong>immediately</strong></em>.  </p><p>There is no available evidence that this happened, or that this did <em><strong>not</strong></em> happen, as these cross-reporting documents are not available to the public, nor the parent of any abused child unless a judge issues a subpoena to release the documents.</p><p>The BBH report from 2024 stated (as seen above):</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Client reported that in or around spring 2024 he was touched in his genital area by his principal in the school bathroom. Provider consulted with supervisor and it was determined that a CPS report should be made. CPS report was made on 9/19 and family was notified that report would be made.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Lauren Krumpack no longer works for Butler Behavioral Health, and she has changed her name to Lauren Melvin.  She continues to practice counseling on her own, and apparently remains licensed, as I found this out myself on the internet.  She was reached out to for comment and never returned any request to speak to her, by multiple parties apparently, myself included.</p><div><hr></div><h3>A Conversation with Butler County Children&#8217;s Services.</h3><p>I personally spoke to CPS and Butler Behavioral Health during the Summer of 2025, and I recorded the phone calls.  They both told me, over the phone, that when a child abuse report is made, involving this kind of an allegation, (<em><strong>a school principal sexually assaulting a minor boy in a bathroom stall, keeping him from leaving the stall, while molesting the boy over his pants, while the abuser masturbaiting at the same time</strong></em>) the report is made and given to CPS <em><strong>immediately</strong></em>.  </p><p>Then, given the nature of the severity of the allegation and the proximity of the accused abuser to children, CPS doesn&#8217;t investigate, but rather they report it to the local police in the geographic location of the abuse (eg, Oxford Police Department), and are notified by CPS <em><strong>immediately, </strong></em>with cross-reporting documents being made, in writing, or over recorded phone calls.  Not minutes, hours or days later, but <em><strong>immediately</strong></em>.  </p><p>In a situation such as this, the principal in question is to be detained by police, the school district is notified, the principal in question is to be placed on administrative leave <em><strong>immediately</strong></em>, and a formal investigation begins by the police. </p><p>The parent was under the impression that all of this was happening in 2024, yet <em><strong>none</strong></em> of this happened.  <strong>None of it.  </strong></p><p>Either Butler County Children&#8217;s Services (CPS) dropped this complaint without investigation once they received it (which they are not allowed to do by Ohio law), or the Oxford Police Department dropped this once they found out, and never investigated in 2024.  All of which, would be illegal. </p><p>I was told that the Title IX investigator wanted to interview several different employees of BCCS (or of the larger agency of Butler County Department of Job and Family Services, of which BCCS is a part).  However, I was told that the Investigator was apparently instructed by an Attorney with the Butler County Prosecutor&#8217;s Office during a phone call, that BCCS investigations are confidential and its employees can not be interviewed without a subpoena.  </p><p>Title IX investigations do not have subpoena power in school districts during the formal process.  I was told that during this call, the Butler County attorney did agree to answer one question from the investigator, where the investigator asked (paraphrasing): </p><blockquote><p><em>If Butler County Children&#8217;s Services ever receives a complaint that a child is the victim of possible sexual abuse by a school district employee, is it Butler County Children&#8217;s Services&#8217; policy to inform the school district where the person is employed? </em></p><p>The answer, was apparently, <em>no</em>.</p></blockquote><p>I was told that the Title IX investigator also asked to interview BBH employee Lauren Krumpack, whose session information dated September 18, 2024, where the child stated that around spring time in 2024 he was touched in his genital area by his principal in the school bathroom, and that after consulting with her supervisor, it was determined that a CPS report should be made. </p><p>A CPS report was made on 9/19/2024 and the family was notified that the report would be made, per the words of Lauren Krumpack in the form pictured above.  I was told that the Title IX investigator was informed by BBH that Ms. Krumpack was no longer employed there, and apparently this led to the investigator then request an interview with Ms. Krumpack&#8217;s former supervisor and also requested copies of any records of any reports made to CPS or law enforcement as referenced in Ms. Krumpack&#8217;s session notes&#8230; but no response was returned.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Retaliation.</h3><p>During the Title IX investigation, retaliation occurred at the hands of the Oxford Police Department and the Talawanda City School District, in my opinion.  I am also not the only one who shares this opinion.  Apparently, the Oxford Police Department and the Talawanda City School District deny that retaliation occurred, because what are they going to do?  Admit to it?  </p><p>During the Title IX investigation, the mother was charged with child endangerment by the Oxford Police Department when they scheduled to leave their children home for 30 minutes, which is not against the law in Ohio.  The children were never in danger either, as the mother has taught her children how to stay home safely, with their own cell phone for emergencies, and they have also taught them about &#8220;safe touch&#8221; and &#8220;not safe touch&#8221; their whole lives.  </p><p>The mother was falsely charged again when they were just minutes late from home to pick up their kids off of the school bus, because the Talawanda School District policy (although not followed by endless parents in the district) states that if children are under a particular age they must have an adult present to pick them up from the bus, even if one child is above the age range and the other is below the age range.  Sadly, in this case, the bus stops right in front of the child&#8217;s house, not 10-yards from their own front door.  Therefore, according to Talawanda, two children are not even allowed to walk 10-yards to their own front door from the bus, without a parent or authorized adult present, yet they were allowed to walk home from Kramer Elementary the year before (which encompassed a full block).  The hypocrisy is blinding.</p><p>The mother was ultimately told to wear an ankle monitor for almost two months, as an unrelated charge of an unpaid BMV fine was being handled.  She was ultimately never charged with any felony, and never spent a day in jail.</p><p>She was also staked-out by the Oxford Police Department, per her observations, at her home address, and members of the public outed the mother&#8217;s name and the child&#8217;s name, and home address, to the public on Facebook in an effort to humiliate and discredit them in the eyes of the public.  At no point did the Talawanda school district intervene and tell anyone to stop doing, nor did the Oxford Police Department.  </p><p>Residents of the town of Oxford, Ohio, like that of Molly Farler and Emily Greenberg, also attempted to smear the parent online.  They consistently took to Facebook and made fun of the mother in an attempt to discredit the entire story, and the sexual abuse allegation against Jason Merz.  They were not alone either.  Members of the Talawanda School District did the same, either online, in person, or both, publicly or privately.</p><p>This retaliation was all done to smear the mother into being a negligent parent who makes false accusations against a school principal.  As it turns out, the accusations are beyond credible in my professional opinion, as you will continue to read.  </p><p>In my opinion, those denying that this sexual abuse occurred, are on the wrong side of history and this will not age well for them.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Failure to Contact.</h3><p>I was told that numerous Talawanda School District employees and other parents were reached out to for comment throughout the Title IX investigation, or when new information came to light.  Apparently, many failed to ever get back in touch with the Title IX investigator when the Title IX investigator reached out to them initially.  As I&#8217;ve been told, apparently the same occurred with the Oxford Police Department officers, some of which are SRO&#8217;s in the Talawanda School District.  Apparently, all of them declined to be interviewed.  Although, I was told that one officer offered their time to the Title IX investigator.</p><div><hr></div><h3>A Legal Conversation.</h3><p>In the Summer of 2025, I reached out to a civil/criminal lawyer and described this case as I knew it.  This was a lawyer that had been contacted by other parents within the Talawanda School District pertaining to previous Title IX investigations having to do with child abuse within the Talawanda School District.  </p><p>The lawyer told me that in cases such as this (as I described the allegation against Jason Merz to him), if there are no witnesses and there is no other evidence, like <em>physical marks, bleeding, medical reports, camera footage, past complaints, text messages etc.</em>, that would show that people were where they said they were, and what they were doing, then no criminal case would be made, let a lone make it&#8217;s way to a court of law.  </p><p>A &#8220;<em><strong>He said-He said </strong></em>case,&#8221; is typically never brought to court, nor would there be a ruling against an alleged abuser in a Title IX investigation.  </p><p>The lawyer did state that this is common and unfortunate, because it means that there are endless sexual abusers that work within school systems, and then they return to these very school systems to continue working, with no legal repercussions.  </p><p>The lawyer was upset to hear about the case/situation and urged parents and children to leave the school environment permanently, where such accusations have been made, because they stated that the majority of such accusations are credible, even when the law does not intervene.  </p><p>The lawyer also told me that if the Title IX doesn&#8217;t rule against the principal, then several legal issues could arise for the school, and the principal, if the principal is reinstated.  They stated that these issues are primarily rooted in Ohio employment law for educators, federal Title IX obligations, child protection statutes, and potential civil liabilities. These issues balance the principal&#8217;s employment rights with the school&#8217;s duty to ensure student safety.</p><p>However, they also stated that if the school board views the allegation as credible (despite lack of witnesses to the allegation), they could pursue termination via a hearing (with rights to counsel, witnesses, and appeal to common pleas court). Reinstatement with back pay is apparently required if the termination is overturned.  </p><p>A &#8220;no violation&#8221; Title IX outcome doesn&#8217;t prevent the Ohio Department of Education from limiting the school principal&#8217;s license if they deem the principal a risk.  School boards also have discretion in non-renewal or reassignment for administrative roles (ORC &#167; 3319.02), potentially avoiding full reinstatement to the same school to mitigate risks.</p><p>Title IX (20 U.S.C. &#167; 1681) requires schools to prevent sex-based hostile environments. Reinstatement of a school employee could expose the district to lawsuits if seen as &#8220;deliberate indifference.&#8221;  Schools have a common-law duty to protect students (e.g., from foreseeable harm). Reinstatement could lead to negligent supervision claims if the principal reoffends, with districts liable for &#8220;negligent retention&#8221; (i.e., hiring/retaining a known risk).  If new witnesses emerge post-reinstatement, the principal could face charges (no double jeopardy from Title IX). Statutes of limitations for child sexual assault in Ohio are long (up to 20+ years post-majority).</p><p>In the case of Jason Merz, he remained <em>paid</em> with his full salary, and a raise, throughout the entire Title IX process.  He as never placed on <em>unpaid</em> leave to my knowledge, and was afforded privileges throughout the Title IX investigation that would be unheard of in other places.</p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p>In cases of child abuse within schools (in particular of a sexual nature), if there are no witnesses and no video footage of the abuse, then as far as the legal system is concerned, the abuse never occurred, at least to not reach the point of criminal charges, simply due to a lack of evidence.  </p></li><li><p>&#8220;<em><strong>He said-He said </strong></em>cases&#8221; are typically never brought to court, nor do they stand up in a Title IX investigation without other corroborating evidence. </p></li><li><p>If the abused is a child, then the adult school-employee, in many cases, will blindly be believed by less-knowledgable people.  </p></li><li><p>If the &#8220;decision-maker&#8221; at the conclusion of a Title IX investigation rules that there is not enough evidence to corroborate the accusation, it doesn&#8217;t mean that the abuse did not occur, it just means that the evidence given or not available doesn&#8217;t meet the legal threshold, as &#8220;<em><strong>He said-He said </strong></em>cases&#8221; are typically never brought to court.</p></li><li><p>If the child does not show any <em><strong>behavioral or physical</strong></em> <em><strong>signs</strong></em> at school of being abused (as unfortunately many teachers in America believe), then as far as they&#8217;re concerned, the abuse never happened or it can&#8217;t be believed.  If something superficial isn&#8217;t occurring with the child in school (like a child&#8217;s grades plummeting), then many will believe that they were never abused or their account of the abuse can&#8217;t be believed.  This is what many actual school teachers and school employees themselves falsely believe when it comes to child abuse.</p></li></ul><p>This is the level of ignorance that exists among American school employees, and I&#8217;ve been told that some Talawanda School District employees are no different.</p><div><hr></div><p>On February 26, 2026, at the conclusion of the entire Title IX process, Superintendent Ed Theroux wrote the following letter to the public, boasting of Jason Merz&#8217;s future return:</p><blockquote><p>February 26, 2026</p><p>Dear Kramer Families, Students, Community, and Staff,</p><p>As many of you know, there was an allegation made that took time to investigate. Typically, we would not share the name of individuals to protect the individual as well as any students that may have been involved. However, in this case, I know that the names of individuals have already been shared on many outlets.</p><p>The process has finally been completed. The investigation established Principal Jason Merz did <em><strong>not</strong></em> engage in any inappropriate or unprofessional conduct.</p><p>This letter is being sent to clarify that Principal Jason Merz is <em><strong>cleared</strong></em> to return to duty. We are confident that Principal Merz is able to return because a thorough investigation and review has been completed by several impartial parties who have no affiliation with the District.</p><p>I want to thank Interim Principal Greg Pettit for his work and leadership. Interim Principal Gregg Pettit will continue to work at Kramer throughout the rest of this year. Interim Principal Pettit has a preplanned vacation in March for three weeks.

A reentry plan is being developed for Principal Merz. We know many of you have been looking forward to his return! </em></p></blockquote><p>Publishing such a letter is unprecedented, unprofessional, dangerous and reckless.  This proves the incompetent nature of the entire environment and the likelihood that such abuse did in fact occur, simply due to the district Superintendent&#8217;s desire to appear correct in the eyes of the public and engage in what could be described as an apparent &#8220;victory lap.&#8221;  </p><p>Such a letter, is rarely to never drafted, without the active participation of a School District&#8217;s Communications Director.  In this case, that person would be Holli Hansel.  </p><p>No district lawyer, with any legal sense, would allow such a letter to be written, let alone submitted. Nor would a competent Human Resources Director ever allow for such a letter to be written.  </p><p>This is not a joke.  This is not a race, nor a victory lap, and they didn&#8217;t win anything.  The actions of Talawanda and their Superintendent are the coordinated damage-control behaviors of an environment (and the people within) who tolerate child abuse; that, in my opinion, 100-percent occurred in this case involving Jason Merz.</p><p>The letter above was also released to the public before the Talawanda School Board was notified of the letters existence.  Or, before some of the members were notified of it&#8217;s existence.  Which school-board members knew of the letter before it&#8217;s release, is unknown.  </p><p>The Talawanda School District also apparently ran to the FOX 19 TV News Channel in Cincinnati to have them publish this letter in the morning-televised news, on 2/27/2026.  This could not have been done without the careless and dangerous active participation of the Talawanda Superintendent Ed Theroux and their district&#8217;s Communication Director Holli Hansel. </p><p>This, too, is unprecedented, unprofessional, dangerous and reckless.  </p><p>This will backfire on all of them.</p><div><hr></div><p>This Title IX investigation of Jason Merz took 10 months.  There could not have been a thorough review of the documentation by the Talawanda School District nor the school board, at it&#8217;s conclusion, as the quick and reckless release of a statement by the Superintendent Ed Theroux should prove.  </p><p>School district officials in America who have access to an entire Title IX investigation typically only read a &#8220;decision-maker&#8217;s&#8221; report, and not the entirety of the formal interviews, rebuttals, and appeals that were conducted, let alone the most damning interviews of all, as I&#8217;ve verbally been told are apparent in this case; </p><p><em><strong>The interview of the child by a child-abuse forensic interviewer, and the child&#8217;s interview with the Title IX investigator.  </strong></em></p><p>I was told; <em><strong>&#8220;No one reads these two interviews and allows this school principal to return!  No one!&#8221;</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><p>Remember, the child was interviewed formally at least three times during the entirety of the Title IX investigation by at least two separate mandated reporters, as I was told.  I was also told that the child&#8217;s story did not waiver one time.  Not once. </p><p>As it was told to me, the child was detailed and consistent throughout every interview, and apparently the details go slightly beyond the initial email that was emotionally sent (and rightfully so) to the Talawanda School Board by the parent of the child on the night of May 1, 2025.  </p><p>I, too, have spoken with the child.  Have you?</p><p>The choice to believe the truth, is yours and yours alone.</p><p>Don&#8217;t end up on the wrong side of history. </p><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

that new data estimates 17% of students nationwide will face sexual misconduct during their public education.  Frankly, in my opinion, this is a low-ball number.  </p><p>Catherine Herridge talked with Attorney John Manly, who represented victims of USA Olympic Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.  Manly alleges that powerful teachers unions and failures in mandatory reporting requirements are enabling widespread sexual abuse by &#8220;passing the trash,&#8221; a practice in which he says problematic teachers are quietly reassigned after allegations rather than being fired and prosecuted.</p><p>What they fail to discuss in the interview below, is the corrupt nature of the Title IX investigative, decision-making and appellate process as a whole, when allegations of sexual abuse are brought forward.  The state does not work for the abused family.  They work for the state (i.e., the school environment).  Title IX investigations are run from within the states themselves.  Title IX investigations seek to protect the abusers, because the vast majority of Title IX investigation in America involve the sexual abuse of minors at the hands of school employees.  </p><div><hr></div><p>In the near future, I will continue my series on the Title IX investigation of former (still on paid administrative leave) Kramer Elementary principal Jason Merz in Oxford, Ohio that started last year, and how his Title IX investigation (having taken almost 10 months) uncovered an abundance of failures and eye-opening revelations.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;cf4c7d76-18cd-478b-b0fe-e3b5261aaa0c&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

A story of a grandson talking to his grandfather about his time in Europe:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;My grandfather was a volunteer with Arajs Kommando (a small, specialized German SS unit operating during World War II in occupied Poland.  They were associated with the SS and police apparatus under the broader authority of the Schutzstaffel (SS), and operated in the region of Warsaw during the German occupation). In 1982 shortly before his death I visited my relatives in Jelgava and asked him about the war. I was just a child, but what he told me I&#8217;ll never forget.</p><p>His unit were police battling armed criminal gangs and communist terrorists. One of the gangs was a pedophile gang kidnapping children. They had no idea what they were getting into.</p><p>They staked out the the gang&#8217;s hiding place and saw people going in for what appeared to be a religious ceremony. They were supposed to just watch and identify the people involved, but when they heard the screaming of a child being raped or tortured they one of the men couldn&#8217;t control himself and went in, they had to arrest everyone there.</p><p>It had been a Satanic ritual. The child was raped and exsanguinated in a sacrifice. Everyone they arrested was a communist Jew. A treasure trove of documents were recovered, most were membership lists and plans for terrorist attacks, but some were talking about exterminating the Amaleks. The main plan seemed to be to take control with a communist dictatorship and execute all of the Amalek for minor crimes. If that failed they&#8217;d be propagandized into being hated by everyone in the world. There was even a plan to exterminated them by through immigration of African males and breeding them out of existence.</p><p>Most of the Satanists did not talk they were simply content to being executed for their monstrous crimes. One was willing to talk, because &#8220;no one will believe you&#8221; he admitted the Amalek are &#8220;The Isrealites, the Europeans, You!&#8221; They raped the child is because &#8220;Moloch demands it&#8221; real satanists mutilate children&#8217;s genitals. It separates the serious from the fakers, there is no higher evil than defiling a child. &#8220;Only once you&#8217;ve proven yourself can Lucifer grant you his power to control the minds of the goyim.&#8221;</p><p>As he put down these monsters at Rumbula, they did not beg for mercy. They offered prayers to Moloch and claimed to have &#8220;already won.&#8221;</p><p>He said it felt as if God himself was pulling the trigger. That the world was just</p><p>that much brighter and more hopeful when they were done. They left out most of this from the reports, everyone was just a communist or communist supporter.</p><p>I thought him a crazy old man of course. My relatives said he was never quite right after the war. I mostly forgot about him. Moloch? Amalek? I&#8217;d never heard of any of this nonsense before.</p><p>Then when Pedestas emails were leaked and pizzagate happened I fucking shit myself. It all made sense. It&#8217;s all real. The nazis were literally fighting against the devil and the devil won. We&#8217;re living in hell.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png" width="717" height="888" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:888,&quot;width&quot;:717,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:471112,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/i/188034572?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wJE5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffb0c7a2b-d3a2-4407-9e72-9b4c6d4626f8_717x888.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

social networking platform built specifically for scientists, researchers, and those in graduate school or higher education.</p><p>Launched in 2008, its goal was to make scientific research more open and collaborative by &#8220;helping&#8221; researchers:</p><ul><li><p>Share their publications (papers, preprints, data, posters)</p></li><li><p>Discover other researchers&#8217; work</p></li><li><p>Ask and answer technical research questions</p></li><li><p>Track who is reading and citing their work</p></li><li><p>Connect with collaborators in their field</p></li></ul><h4>Some features include:</h4><ul><li><p>Research profiles similar to an academic CV</p></li><li><p>Paper sharing (often full-text uploads by authors)</p></li><li><p>Q&amp;A forums for research problems</p></li><li><p>Citation and readership metrics (RG Score, reads, citations)</p></li><li><p>Project pages for ongoing work</p></li><li><p>Job listings in academia and

scientists</p></li><li><p>Academic institutions</p></li></ul><p>ResearchGate functions like a mix of LinkedIn, Google Scholar, and a research forum, focused entirely on academic and scientific work. It helps research circulate faster than traditional journals and makes it easier for scientists to find each other&#8217;s work outside paywalled publications.  Only now, it&#8217;s been exposed that Bill Gates, Jeffery Epstein and their associates have a stranglehold on it as a means of controlling what people see and what manuscripts get accepted and shared.  It&#8217;s censorship for mind-control and agenda-setting; all done to manipulate the public and future research agendas.

His text message to me is below:</p><blockquote><p>Another day in Palo Alto, another transgender high school student throwing himself in front of the train. And all the locals can do is blame the train tracks, the high pressure environment at the school, including by parents and other students, but almost nothing on the transitioning with hormone therapy and other drugs, with parents, schools (and doctors) pushing the transition. </p><p>The mom in this case was a piece of work, recruiting other trans kids on Discord to stay at her home as a &#8220;safe space&#8221;!  Can&#8217;t make it up. </p><p><strong>The last three suicides by train have been trans students.</strong></p><p>The kid left a suicide note. (Brent Kline is the Principal at Paly High.)</p><p>Notice he blames his own living as transgender as a cause and how he annoyed everyone around him ( My son said the same about a former friend who converted - hormone blockers made the person insufferable to be&nbsp;&nbsp;around).</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>Then, a local article about the suicide from the <a

the district&#8217;s message to families said.</p><p>Caltrain and the city of Palo Alto are working on installing new technologies at crossings to improve safety. Churchill Avenue has been a pilot location.</p><p>Rail Sentry, a system that uses cameras, light detection and AI, was installed last year to stop trains when someone walks onto the tracks.</p><p>Caltrain is also looking at installing trespasser panels with soft rubber cones about six inches tall that collapse when someone tries to walk across them.</p><p>Austin asked Palo Alto City Council on Aug. 25 to speed up efforts to separate the tracks from the road to prevent student suicides.</p><p>&#8220;Reducing access at rail crossings is the city&#8217;s responsibility, and it is indispensable to a comprehensive community prevention strategy,&#8221; Austin said. &#8220;We ask the council to move decisively from alternative selection to construction.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>The suicide note is below:</strong></h4><blockquote><p>&#8220;Hi,</p><p>If you are reading this, I am dead.

As you can see, I wasn&#8217;t that important to anything. There are some things I wish I did but at this point it&#8217;s probably too late (cause I&#8217;m dead, do you get the joke?). Lowkey I am sorry for both the atrocious grammar and the fact that this is just on printed paper... I said sorry, what more could you ask for. But I am sorry for actual things, I&#8217;m sorry that there was very little warning. I&#8217;m sorry that the world will be with much less swag without me.</p><p>I&#8217;m sorry that you wasted time thinking about me, I&#8217;m sorry if I inconvenienced you in any way with this death.</p><p>Death is a really funny thing isn&#8217;t it. It&#8217;s not so scary when it&#8217;s in the future and when it&#8217;s near death is horrifying. Today I will face death and fear head on :3. I really will miss yall and am sad at the opportunities I&#8217;ll never get to do. Please don&#8217;t hold a funeral for me or anything like that. Any money you would&#8217;ve spent on that just donate to Gaza relief or something decent. It&#8217;s all quite confusing, I made these letter because I wanted to help people deal with me going away but in doing so I draw more attention towards me, leading to more undeserved pity. S0O000000 I will use my platform for social activism! Fire Brent Kline, he highkey sucks balls. Give paly teachers a nice bonus for putting up with whatever the fallout will be.</p><p>Since part of the reason I&#8217;m killing myself has to do with my life as a trans person, I want to make a stupid decision (on top of all the stupid ones I&#8217;ve already made). I want someone out there to organize a fundraiser for The Trevor Project at the goal of $1 Million dollars, then some more good comes out of my death.</p><p>Now I gues I ought to get to my reasons for killing myself in no particular order (besides number 1, number 1 is the main reason).</p><p>Primarily the reason was the death of my best friend Ash He and the subsequent realization that followed it. I am cursed, cursed to lose my friends as life goes on constantly finding new hope and quickly after, new losses.</p><p>Secondarily is that I&#8217;m just so fucking tired. Life is too difficult and I&#8217;m too weak, so I give up Third is that I&#8217;m really just a shitty person. I cannot name a single person I know who I have not hurt in one way or another</p><p>Fourth is that the world is too fucked and I&#8217;m too much of a baby to do anything about it Fifth is that my life was going nowhere. i&#8217;m bad at everything I try and cannot find passion in things Sixth is that hopefully in some sick twisted way this will put an end to the palo alto high schools suicide curse</p><p>Seventh is because it will make some people happy to see me die</p><p>Eight is because even when I&#8217;m not a shitty person, I get in the way (physically and emotionally)</p><p>Ninth is because no matter what I do this was inevitable</p><p>and last but not least...</p><p>Tenth, I can pick out one person to name right now and fuck their head up forever...</p><p>So whose name should I pick????</p><p>Now the obvious choice is DJT and personally I could say someone who bullied my friends; but the funniest choice has to be the man I&#8217;ve already named: Brent Kline.</p><p>Now the man himself is fine, but what he represents, everything wrong with PAUSD is very much at fault.</p><p>So yeah, that&#8217;s it I&#8217;m dead.</p><p>I&#8217;m truly sorry for all that I have done, SM.</p><p>PS I wrote a joke you can use against my dead corpse</p><p>Summer was such a stereotypical______(hold for laughter) you want to know the difference between Summer and any _______alive?</p><p>The difference is the other____'s are alive&#8221;</p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The end-game of the LGBTQ alphabet-soup, purposeful-confusion, perverse satanic bullshit; is to have a child&#8217;s life end sooner than it should, through demonic sexual-confusion and chemical castration.  Everyone in this young man&#8217;s life is brainwashed.  EVERYONE.  </p><p>This demonic possession, facilitated by that of the adults in his life and those around him (including his mother, the school environment itself and the building principal), not only led to his death, but the deaths of those he knew previously, and it will cost the lives of many others after him as long as this demonic brainwashing persists and the tools remain available for parents, doctors and school employees to mutilate American youth, legally.  </p><p>Don&#8217;t ever let anyone tell you that this is normal behavior.  Don&#8217;t let anyone ever tell you that this child being on hormone-blockers and being led to believe that he&#8217;s a woman, when he wasn&#8217;t, isn&#8217;t the cause of his mental decline that led to his suicide.  Transgender (mentally ill) individuals overall experience elevated rates of suicidal ideation, attempts, and completions, compared to the general population. This is misattributed to <em>bullying</em> as being the cause.  Bullying is not the cause.  </p><p>As one might expect, the corrupt medical system and their &#8220;studies&#8221; point to the taking of hormone/puberty blockers as being a positive-reduction method for suicidal ideation.  Unfortunately, what each study leaves out, is that the individual who is participating in the study is already suicidal, and already identifying as &#8220;trans.&#8221;  Meaning; <strong>they are already suicidal</strong>, therefore the hormone blockers (so they claim) reduce their wanting to kill themselves by almost half (70% down to 40%).  So don&#8217;t worry.  You were likely going to kill yourself, but now it&#8217;s roughly a coin toss as to whether you do or not if you&#8217;re on hormone/puberty blockers.  This line of thinking is ludicrous and not justifiable.  </p><blockquote><p>Longitudinal data from the Trevor Project&#8217;s 2024 survey of LGBTQ+ youth (including transgender participants) highlights high risks (39% seriously considered suicide in the past year), rising to 46% for trans/nonbinary youth.  A 2022 report from the Heritage Foundation analyzed U.S. state-level suicide data (1999-2020) and found that states allowing minors easier access to puberty blockers and hormones without parental consent saw a 14% increase in youth suicide rates (about 1.6 additional suicides per 100,000) post-2010, coinciding with rising availability of these treatments.</p></blockquote><p>The point here is the following; if you see a child or anyone who is being taught to identify as something they&#8217;re not, then they&#8217;re far more likely than the average person to kill themselves (via numerous methods) as a direct result of their false beliefs, while also having that false belief perpetuated by those around them (society, entertainment, doctors, government, schools, parents, friends etc.).</p><p>The end game for anyone identifying as something they&#8217;re not, is an early death; and that&#8217;s exactly what the devil wants.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

The videos are heavily redacted, and in numerous locations.  </p><p>Many people are asking; <em><strong>&#8220;Why are the senders of some of these emails to Jeffery Epstein having their names redacted?&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>Here is a valid answer when you ask Grok.  More specifically, the reasoning is due to ongoing legal prosecutions.  Simply put, there are endless unsealed and sealed indictments that currently exist in America, and some of these names that have been redacted are a part of these indictments and ongoing criminal investigations.  This also includes foreign leaders.  Think Keir Starmer of the UK and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.  </p><p><strong>Therefore, ask yourself this question: </strong> <em>If you are the military and in control of this information, do you release everything and lose your ability to have leverage over your enemy, or do you hold on to such information and make your enemy do your bidding, now that the good guys are in control?</em></p><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>Redactions, including those applied to names of email senders, are governed by specific legal standards and court orders. These redactions are not arbitrary but are required to balance public transparency with protections for privacy, safety, and ongoing legal processes. Below, I&#8217;ll outline the main legal reasons for such redactions, based on judicial rulings, federal laws, and the specifics of the case.</p><h4><strong>1. Protection of Victim Identities and Privacy:</strong></h4><p>Redactions are mandated to shield the names, contact details, and other personally identifiable information (PII) of alleged victims of sexual abuse or exploitation, particularly those who were minors at the time. This is rooted in federal laws like the Crime Victims&#8217; Rights Act (18 U.S.C. &#167; 3771) and court precedents that prioritize victim anonymity in sensitive cases involving sexual offenses.</p><p>In the Epstein documents, this often applies to email senders if they are victims or if revealing their names could indirectly expose victims (e.g., through context or associations). Judge Loretta Preska, who oversaw the initial unsealing in 2023-2024, explicitly ordered certain names to remain blacked out for this reason, noting that disclosure could cause further harm or re-traumatization.</p><p>The Epstein Files Transparency Act (passed in 2025) reinforces this by allowing redactions for any information that constitutes a &#8220;clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,&#8221; but it prohibits redactions solely for embarrassment or reputational harm to public figures.</p><h4><strong>2. Safeguarding Third Parties Not Accused of Wrongdoing:</strong></h4><p>Names may be redacted if they belong to &#8220;absent third parties&#8221; or individuals peripherally mentioned in emails but not central to the allegations or accused of any crime. This prevents unwarranted reputational damage or privacy violations under common law principles and rules like Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), which allows protective orders for good cause.</p><p>For example, in the Giuffre v. Maxwell filings, redactions were applied to protect people who might be defamed or harassed if named, even if they were just email correspondents with Epstein or Maxwell.</p><h4><strong>3. Preservation of Ongoing Investigations:</strong></h4><p>Information linked to active criminal probes, including names in emails that could reveal investigative details, may be redacted to avoid compromising law enforcement efforts. This is authorized under exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. &#167; 552(b)(7)) and similar transparency laws, which protect records that could interfere with enforcement proceedings.</p><p>In the DOJ&#8217;s 2025 releases, officials were required to explain such redactions, though criticisms arose over inconsistent application.</p><h4><strong>4. Compliance with Court Orders and Protective Seals:</strong></h4><p>Many redactions stem from prior judicial protective orders in the Epstein-related cases, which sealed portions of documents to limit public access during litigation. When unsealing occurred, Judge Preska reviewed objections from &#8220;John and Jane Does&#8221; (anonymous parties) and allowed redactions if they demonstrated a risk of harm or privacy invasion.</p><p>This process included appeals, where individuals could argue for continued anonymity&#8212;e.g., if they were email senders whose involvement was tangential or sensitive.</p><h4><strong>Additional Notes:</strong></h4><p>Redactions are not used for national security reasons in this case, as the documents primarily involve civil and criminal matters related to sex trafficking, not classified information.</p><p>Criticisms of the redaction process (e.g., in DOJ releases) have focused on errors, such as accidentally exposing victim names while over-redacting others, leading to fixes and withdrawals of documents.</p><p>However, the legal framework prioritizes caution to avoid violations.</p><p>If a name in an email is redacted, it&#8217;s typically because it falls into one of the above categories; the goal is to release as much as possible without breaching legal protections.</p><p>These parameters ensure compliance with U.S. law while promoting transparency where feasible. For the most current details on specific documents, reviewing the official court dockets or DOJ releases is recommended.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>GRAPHIC:  An Epstein video from years ago.  <br>I first came across the full length video embedded in a description of a video on YouTube back in 2018.  This is a shorter edited version, but you'll get the point.  He's using a magnifying glass to burn a young naked girl, who is tied down with rope, which is tied to wood stakes in the ground.

Rand&#8217;s essay &#8220;The Comprachicos&#8221; (published in 1970 in The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution, later retitled in some editions as part of Return of the Primitive) is a fierce critique of modern progressive education. Rand draws a powerful and disturbing metaphor from Victor Hugo&#8217;s novel The Man Who Laughs (also known as L&#8217;Homme qui rit). </p><p>The title refers to the &#8220;comprachicos&#8221; (Spanish for &#8220;child-buyers&#8221;), a 17th-century nomadic group described by Hugo who bought or acquired young children and deliberately deformed them through brutal physical methods (e.g., stunting growth, dislocating joints, mutilating faces with burns, bindings, or incisions). The goal was to create permanent &#8220;monsters,&#8221; freaks, dwarfs, or grotesques for entertainment&#8212;court jesters, circus attractions, or street performers. These children were mutilated early so the deformities became permanent and natural-looking, erasing any memory of the trauma. Rand quotes Hugo extensively to emphasize the cruelty: deformity was seen as more useful than death for political control and amusement, as a living, flesh-based &#8220;mask&#8221; could never be removed. </p><p>&#8220;Comprachicos of the Mind&#8221; Rand argues that contemporary educators (especially those influenced by progressive education theories dominant in the mid-20th century) are the modern equivalents&#8212;the &#8220;comprachicos of the mind.&#8221; They do not physically deform children but intellectually and psychologically cripple them in a subtler, more insidious way:</p><ul><li><p>They operate openly and with societal approval (children are &#8220;delivered&#8221; to schools).</p></li><li><p>They use no knives or irons, yet achieve the same end: stunting the child&#8217;s cognitive and emotional development.</p></li><li><p>The result is a generation of intellectual &#8220;monsters&#8221;&#8212;adults who are helpless, irrational, emotionally stunted, unable to think independently, disconnected from reality, and prone to whim, conformity, and collectivism.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Key Criticisms of Progressive Education:</strong></p><p>Rand targets several specific practices and philosophies she sees as destructive:</p><ul><li><p>Rejection of structured, conceptual learning in favor of anti-conceptual, concrete-bound, or &#8220;look-say&#8221; methods (e.g., in reading instruction).</p></li><li><p>Emphasis on socialization, group conformity (&#8221;the pack&#8221;), emotionalism, and anti-reason over individual rational thought.</p></li><li><p>Suppression of the child&#8217;s independent mind, replacing it with whim-worship, relativism, and tribalism.</p></li></ul><p>The process begins early and is inexplicit: children absorb anti-reason premises emotionally and subconsciously, leaving them unaware of their own mutilation (just as Hugo&#8217;s victims forgot the surgery).</p><p>She describes how this produces adults who are:</p><ul><li><p>Incapable of grasping objective reality.</p></li><li><p>Dependent on others&#8217; approval.</p></li><li><p>Prone to irrationality, mysticism, or statism.</p></li><li><p>Alienated from their own minds and values.</p></li></ul><p>Broader ImplicationsThe essay ties this educational malpractice to the cultural and political decline Rand saw in the 1960s&#8211;70s (student rebellions, anti-intellectualism, the New Left). She views it as a deliberate (or at least functionally equivalent) attack on the human mind, far worse than physical deformity because it destroys the faculty of reason itself&#8212;the tool of human survival and flourishing.In Rand&#8217;s view, true education should foster rational, conceptual thinking and independence, not conformity or emotional &#8220;adjustment.&#8221; The comprachicos of the mind produce twisted souls who can be more easily controlled or manipulated by collectivist ideologies.This essay is one of Rand&#8217;s most passionate and emotionally charged pieces on education, blending literary analysis, epistemology, and moral outrage. It remains influential among Objectivists as a warning about the long-term damage of anti-rational teaching methods.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>If Ayn Rand&#8217;s essay doesn&#8217;t describe the current state precisely, I&#8217;m not sure what does.</p><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>&#8220;There were educators. They took a man and turned him into a miscarriage; they took a face and made a muzzle. They stunted growth; they mangled features. This artificial production of teratological cases had its own rules. It was a whole science. Imagine an inverted orthopedics. Where God had put a straight glance, this art put a squint. Where God had put harmony, they put deformity. Where God had put perfection, they brought back a botched attempt. And, in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is the botched that was perfect &#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><strong>BIO</strong>: Dr. Sean M.

K12 students don&#8217;t know what the hell they&#8217;re doing, nor what they&#8217;re &#8220;protesting.&#8221;  This is what makes movies about school and college so funny.  The dumbest people in them, are everyone.  From the students, all the way to the administration.  Both sides are getting played and neither will ever find out the truth until it&#8217;s too late.</p><p>Most high-school and college students protest things they know nothing about and they only do so to get out of class.  The younger the student, the more na&#239;ve, and the adults running these brainwashing camps know that.  Sadly, these recent so-called &#8220;ICE protests&#8221; across America on Friday January 30th 2026, show everyone who is pulling the strings, and it isn&#8217;t the schools nor the adults within.  It&#8217;s those who control them from the outside in; The CIA, Mossad, NGO&#8217;s, local politicians and communists within government.  </p><p>The movie PCU exemplified the ridiculous nature of protests, but it also highlighted the division that is caused within such institutions and within society.  So much so, at the end of the move they get all of the divisive student parties to finally go after those in charge as being the real oppressors.  In fact, they protest that they won&#8217;t protest, and that pisses off the administration even more.  PCU is a very funny move, and it still rings true today, in all the ridiculous ways.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;53225bef-80bc-426e-a0e6-87d53eeffc39&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>On Friday January 30th, K12 schools and colleges had &#8220;walk-outs&#8221; in defiance of people enforcing the law who are arresting those who are breaking the law.

These were movements designed to wake people up to the satanic nature of the so-called elite, politicians, celebrities, and many more who run the world and get away with their crimes.  </p><p>There are 69 Q posts containing the name Epstein.

Valentine and Anisa Liban.  Both sit on the Westerville City School Board in Westerville, Ohio.  Their collaboration and affiliations are now well known, as they both spoke together the night of the November 2025 election regarding Anisa Liban seemingly winning a school-board seat with WCSD.  Both also run their own limited liability company.  To read the past articles on them both, click <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/somali-school-board-member-anisa">HERE</a>, <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/questionable-campaign-donations-to">HERE</a>, <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/ohio-school-board-members-and-their">HERE</a> and <a href="https://theamericanclassroom.substack.com/p/video-westerville-ohio-school-board">HERE.</a></p><p>In her full election speech, Anisa Liban seemingly admits to quid pro quo, and deals that she has made to benefit herself and those she knows as a result of her election win, and whatever deal has been struck with WCSD.  Listen and read the subtitles in the clip below:</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;15621cd9-5e5b-4c68-b98e-f91450a407c6&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>The entire Ohio Somali TV broadcast video is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaLCv0fpYwU">HERE</a> and below:</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;f124d4d9-0737-4814-bc13-385111f84a5e&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Just days ago, a local Columbus, Ohio news outlet was reporting on the widespread fraud within the Somali community.  The Somali&#8217;s themselves are attempting to make it sound as if people are accusing them over nothing.  </p><p>Some of the exact same people attended this meeting below, that attended the election night speech of Anisa Liban, including these two Somali men seen in the thumbnail picture:</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;fb5365a8-8d72-49eb-af92-765f12746f26&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>ABC 6 in Columbus reported just two days ago on the fraud.  However, Attorney General Dave Yost claims he&#8217;s been going after this fraud for decades.  He&#8217;s lying.  He&#8217;s not going after Somali&#8217;s and downplays citizen journalists who do.  </p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;7de8f5c0-3e2e-4f2b-b532-7ebbfe20b83a&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Anisa Liban has no problem speaking about her qualifications. However, based on the medical doctors, lawyers, finance directions, treasurers, educators and more qualified professionals who have far more experience than Anisa Liban, they were all turned down to fill the vacant spot left on the WCSD board back in 2024.  Instead Anisa Liban and her one-page resume and bachelors degree from Ohio State University in 2019 was apparently the winning choice.  Unless of course, something else was promised in return for her selection.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

giving or receiving something in exchange for something else, however, in legal contexts <em>quid pro quo</em> often refers to something that is in fact illegal, such as if a company gives a government official money in exchange for receiving a contract or employment for a person that rightly should be given to whatever company or person is best able to meet the requirements for the contract or the position.</p><p>Case in point, Westerville City School Board member Anisa Liban and her acceptance speech on Election night.  </p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;1ea1c01d-0d3c-41ba-96a0-25c7678af2ae&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><div class="native-video-embed"

<em>English</em> to <em>Somali</em>, right when she&#8217;s speaking to her own people about the very thing she is promising them, that just so happens to be a level of favoritism/Quid pro quo<em>/ </em>a conflict of interest/and bribery.</p><p>School board members are public officials under Ohio law and are subject to the Ohio Ethics Law (primarily Chapter 102 of the Ohio Revised Code) and related criminal statutes, overseen by the Ohio Ethics Commission. </p><p><strong>The admitted intent to secure influence or favor introduces ethics violations. </strong></p><p>Based on relevant statutes and advisory opinions, here are the key violations:</p><div><hr></div><h4>1. Violation of R.C. 102.03(F) - Improper Giving of a Thing of Value</h4><ul><li><p>This section prohibits any person (including public officials like school board members) from promising or giving anything of value to a public official or employee if it is &#8220;of such a character as to manifest a substantial and improper influence&#8221; on their duties.</p></li></ul><p>A donation to the school district qualifies as a &#8220;thing of value&#8221; if intended to influence district employees (e.g., superintendents, administrators, or teachers) in their official actions, such as supporting the board member&#8217;s agendas, providing preferential treatment, or swaying decisions. Even though the donation is to the agency (not directly to an individual), Ohio Ethics Commission guidance treats such donations as prohibited if the donor&#8217;s intent is to improperly influence public servants or secure a return benefit.  I think the video speaks for itself.</p><p><strong>Voluntary donations benefiting the public are allowed, but the video admission of </strong><em><strong>quid-pro-quo</strong></em><strong> intent (for &#8220;influence and favor&#8221;) makes this improper.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Penalty: First-degree misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail and/or $1,000 fine). Conviction could also bar the individual from public office or employment for up to 7 years if related to supplemental compensation.</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><h4>2. Violation of R.C. 2921.02 - Bribery</h4><ul><li><p>This criminal statute prohibits any person from offering or giving a valuable thing or benefit with the purpose of corrupting or improperly influencing a public servant in their duties, regardless of whether the influence occurs before or after the servant holds office.</p></li></ul><p>If the donation is intended to sway district public servants (e.g., to gain favor in hiring, policy decisions, or other matters), it fits as an attempt to improperly influence.  The district as a whole is not a &#8220;public servant,&#8221; but the intent to affect individual servants&#8217; actions through the donation could trigger this.  </p><p><strong>The on-video admission provides direct evidence of corrupt purpose.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Penalty: Third-degree felony (up to 36 months in prison and/or $5,000 fine).</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><h4>3. Potential Conflict of Interest Under R.C. 102.03(D) or (E)</h4><ul><li><p>R.C. 102.03(D) prohibits public officials from using their authority or influence to secure anything of value (including benefits like &#8220;favor&#8221;) that could improperly influence their own or others&#8217; duties.</p></li></ul><p><strong>R.C. 102.03(E) prohibits soliciting or accepting such things of value.</strong></p><ul><li><p>If the board member uses their position to facilitate the donation (e.g., voting to accept it) while intending to gain personal or professional favor, this creates a conflict. Ohio Ethics Commission advisories emphasize that public officials must avoid even the appearance of impropriety in such scenarios.</p><p>However, this is secondary to the giving/intent issues above.</p></li><li><p><strong>Acceptance by the District: </strong>The Ethics Law does not prohibit the school district from accepting legitimate donations, even substantial ones, as long as the public benefits and no individual receives personal gain.  <strong>HOWEVER, if the donation is tainted by improper intent, the district should reject it to avoid complicity or appearance issues.</strong></p></li></ul><p><strong>Reporting and Investigation:</strong> Such admissions could prompt an investigation by the Ohio Ethics Commission, which issues advisory opinions and refers criminal matters to prosecutors. Recent Commission actions have reprimanded officials for similar conflicts involving value and influence.</p><p><strong>-Ohio Ethics Commission:</strong>  <a
