    Scientific Approach Needed – Gender-Affirming Care

    EP-119 Scientific Approach Needed - Gender-Affirming Care Highlighting the UK’s NHS Cass Review on gender-affirming care with a focus on the often cited “suicide ideation” propaganda in Washington State politics. Beginning in 2020 the National Health Service (NHS) in England commissioned a comprehensive multi-year review of gender-affirming care for children and adolescents. The scientific review, published in 2024, was a complete rebuke of the prevailing approach to gender-affirming care in the UK. As a result of the review, the UK medical establishment and policy makers changed their approach to treatment for gender dysphoria in youth. Despite the updated science, activists and policymakers in Washington State continue to use emotional propaganda and pseudoscience to guide their campaigns and legislation. The science has been reviewed. We must change our ways. “She blinded me with science!” - Thomas Dolby ‧ 1982 Information war “Save the children” has been a manipulative political ploy for decades. Both major political parties have used it as a vehicle for inserting ideology into policy. It may seem trite from an experienced lens of political analysis, but the effectiveness proves its longevity as a tactic. There is a pernicious use of junk science fueling political propaganda regarding “youth gender care” in our society. The “save the children” slogan has been tied into a gordian knot of misinformation. The claims of science are used to tighten this twisted knot weaving through our community. It’s often hard to know who to trust when information outlets contradict each other with claims of factual science: “Not that science, this science. Not this science, that science.” How do parents and community members inform themselves when the information space is littered with manipulation and a constant barrage of conflicting data sets? How are they to participate when each extreme faction emotionally invokes the language of “save the children” at every turn? In the end, the very object of manipulation must be the guiding light forging a path forward to truth and reason - science. Pseudoscience, popularized through political propaganda, states that youth gender-affirming care is necessary to combat teen suicide rates. This basic emotional plea invokes the time-honored manipulation of the “save the children” mantra. But the NHS Review debunked the pseudoscience; and it presented a peer-reviewed scientific assessment of youth gender-affirming care and the holistic issue of gender dysphoria. National Health Service Commissioned Cass Review The Cass Review was an independent review of the UK's NHS gender identity services for children and young people. The scientific endeavor culminated with a lengthy 388-page review led by Dr Hilary Cass. The mission for the Cass Review as stated in the document: “The Review was commissioned by NHS England to make recommendations on how to improve NHS gender identity services, and ensure that children and young people who are questioning their gender identity or experiencing gender dysphoria receive a high standard of care, that meets their needs, is safe, holistic and effective.” Trust the Science!  Advocates for gender-affirming care often cite research to support their stance that such interventions, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments, are crucial in reducing suicide risk among transgender youth. The often-quoted study is titled “Pubertal Suppression for Transgender Youth and Risk of Suicidal Ideation.” This study suggested that transgender and gender non-conforming youth who received puberty blockers exhibited lower rates of suicidal ideation compared to those who did not.  However, the Cass Review highlights a significant methodological flaw in the study: The study did not adequately account for the underlying mental health conditions of the participants. This oversight could lead to a false correlation betwe

    Bob’s Task Force Adventure

    EP-118 Bob's Task Force Adventure On November 22nd 2024 the Washington State Domestic Extremism and Mass Violence Task Force held the first meeting via video conference call. The meeting introduced the the various members of the task force, contracted consultants, and support staff. Although it was not stated, it appears that Senator Elect Bill Ramos will lead the task force. The task force is follows years of work by Governor Elect, and Attorney General Bob Ferguson. In 2022 his office published the 2022 Domestic Terrorism Study. In 2023, after a failed effort to pass legislation HB-1333 that would have created a commission to single out and reeducate victims of misinformation, propaganda, and hate speech, the legislature budgeted funding for this task force within Ferguson's office. Representative Bill Ramos was the lead sponsor of that bill. This podcast takes a listen to the various members of the task force and tries to understand the genesis of its origins. Many believe that the legislative push for government social engineering surrounding "domestic extremism" has been lead by Bob Ferguson as Attorney General, and now Governor. However, during this meeting Senator Elect Ramos, Luis Moscoso, and Jaun Peralez all claim responsibility together. Perhaps the most intriguing member of the task force is the contracted consultant from Illinois and American University, both with PERIL - The Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab. Link to Attorney General's Office Active Groups - Domestic Extremism and Mass Violence Task Force I reached out to Juan Peralez to clarify his comment about the "oncoming Fuhrer" during the Zoom call. He responded to confirm he did use those words. You can hear the voicemail on Twitter using the link below.

    Fusion Future – The Plan

    Fusion Future - The Plan What if I told you there was a plan to eliminate the effects of inflation, maintain King Dollar as the global benchmark in currency, onshore manufacturing back to the United States, and launch the Western hemisphere into a new era of prosperity and peace? And what if I told you all this could be accomplished with one technological program executed by the incoming Trump Administration? All the pieces to our Fusion Future are in place. Lawrence Livermore Labs created fusion ignition in December of 2022. The test produced more energy output than was input. The long theorized fusion technology was proven. However, a national strategy has eluded the current Biden Administration. The Technology Media oxygen for ideas and scientific breakthroughs is tough to come by in a narrative driven world that moves information hour to hour. One large factor in the hidden nature of Lawrence Livermore Labs fusion ignition is a parallel competing fusion technology that has the media power of corporate and foreign interests. There are two types of fusion energy technologies being developed. One is a smaller form factor reactor that uses magnets, coils, and kinetic motion. The other uses lasers to create inertial fusion energy.. Many entities across the globe are racing to develop the first functioning Tokamak reactor - the type of technology that uses magnets and coils. China, Russia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and even the Vatican are developing a Tokamak reactor. Here in Washington State, Microsoft recently invested in a local company, Helion, that is at the forefront of private commercial development of fusion energy using magnets and coils in design. The Fusion Future plan for a national fusion project uses the laser based system developed by the Department of Energy at Lawrence Livermore Labs. It’s natural that the numerous commercial and foreign government projects get all the attention, while the laser based system is relegated to internal DOE press releases. To be clear, the Lawrence Livermore Labs fusion ignition is the most significant proof of concept test in energy production history. The Fusion Future plan will develop industrial scale giant lasers to create a thermonuclear fusion reaction. This method has been proven, and can be scaled to industrial size capabilities. Think of one industrial fusion reactor powering the entire Pacific Northwest with clean sustainable energy. The Tokamak design using magnets and coils is being developed for small form factor use, like powering tech data centers. This is a battle of commercial interests versus a big idea for national interests. The Money In 2022 John Podesta was put in charge of $370 billion in clean energy investments as part of the Green New Deal. That program morphed into the Inflation Reduction Act. The act created a jobs program based on debt, to supposedly fight inflation, while tackling the climate crisis. $370 billion is a lot of money already budgeted for green new technology. This year that program morphed into the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act. This act allocated $230 billion to change-over all public housing into zero carbon high efficient homes. Meanwhile, just recently congressional representatives and Lawrence Livermore Labs announced a $16 million boost in funding to achieve the Department of Energy goal of fusion energy commercialization within a decade. Yes, $16 million was touted as a boost in funding to a $630 million fusion budget. And yes, remember the US taxpayers through their representatives budgeted $370 billion in Green New Deal funding that prioritizes windmills, jobs programs based on foreign sourced resources like solar, and high efficiency homes, over advanced laser technology that could change the world. Under current leadership, the United States fusion energy program receives less than two tenths of one percent of the Green New Deal budget. The majority of funding for plasma f

    Outrage in the Pacific Northwest

    EP-116 Outrage in the Pacific Northwest The title of this episode was difficult. First thought - Logically Illogical Constitutionality. Second thought - The Foreign Technological List Makers. It's hard to encapsulate something so complex and yet so simple into a show title. In the end I wanted to honor my guest, Eric Crowl, aka @OutragePNW. He is one of thousands of American citizen volunteers pushing legal mechanisms to hold government accountable and attempt to bring transparency to a complex system of partisan control. I realize those sentences are a mouthful, but it's true. A partisan lens has been placed upon the mechanisms of government that are meant to be objective in their execution, and guarded by the rails of constitutionality. We have a state example of a national problem in Washington as the Secretary of State has contracted through academic proxies to report out on opposition to partisan political bureaucrats so that they may shape narrative and silence information. It's hard to see it any other way as the foreign contractor scrapes and reports with a biased lens of inspection. These combatants, fueled by conviction without expectation of monetary gain, have uncovered a fascistic system of corruption through open source protected information gathering. @outragepnw @bjm1203 @MichaelEastonWA @Susan_Dupres @JimWalshLD19 These are the Twitter accounts digging on the truth within public records disclosure. This is not a comprehensive list, but the one's mentioned in the podcast. Their efforts are supported by many other accounts in the Pacific Northwest on the X Platform. Here is the file dump of public records available open source ... NO GATEKEEPING. This is all evidence for the ongoing investigation by the Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government U.S. House of Representatives. All the aces are in their places. Now is the time to act. Find each other. Support each other. No LARPing. No grifting. Together we bring truth, accountability, and integrity back to our systems of governance.
