Today, I was out in the real world. I met up with Ruth (name changed). She lives her life for her adult daughter who has downs syndrome. She has a rare day off today because her daughter was with the walking group. I already knew that a DNR was put on her daughter during COVID, that they were told she would not be treated, if she got ill, so they made sure she had ALL the vaccines. Now the daughter is going through early menopause and is distressed and not sleeping. She has a small heart murmur, so no HRT will be given. Ruth is furious with the system. Then she told me about Jenny (name changed) who is a high functioning lady with downs. She lives on her own and copes well. However this weekend, she made a poor choice to go for a walk in our woods with her dog at 7:30 pm. She was surrounded by youths that taunted her and the dog. When she took out her phone to phone the police, they smashed it. The earliest the police can take her statement, is Thursday!!! Ruth said that she knows what the outcome will be and that is that Jenny, with her disability, is not a reliable witness. This is what Ruth then said:

Those with disabilities and the elderly are INVISIBLE.

I cannot highlight that enough.

Invisible

Invisible

Invisible

Let's hear them, see them and fight for them.

I’d like three tickets to Liberpulco, some snake oil, and a grounding mat…and a place on your spiritual webinar where all the Doctors have become New Age Faith healers and are sooooo genuine, and NOT making 'a bean' out of my naivety.

I also wondered if Dr 'DiehardFromVenom' could drop a few marketing tips on their product placement techniques, cleverly woven into a DILEMMA which we URGENTLY need to resolve by PURCHASING his recommended solutions,

And could:

Dr Pee MYCough show us how to overlook his multi-million dollar snake oil business?

And the beloved:

Bugsey, right up there, at the top, showing them all how it’s done…

There is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with charging others, by showing them a safe exit from a burning building that is about to collapse...

It is business as usual for Freedom Inc.
