Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.
Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.
After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.
Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.
Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?
https://folkhawaii.com/about-us/
Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.
In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.
250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.
Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,
1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.
Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).
All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).
Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.
Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.
In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought.
Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”More about this quote: wist.info/twain-mark/85458/

When liberty’s position is challenged, artists and writers are the ones who first take up the sword. They do so without persuasion, for the battle is peculiarly their own. In the nature of things, a person engaged in the flimsy business of expressing himself on paper is dependent on the large general privilege of being heard. Any intimation that this privilege may be revoked throws a writer into a panic. His is a double allegiance to freedom — an intellectual one springing from the conviction that pure thought has a right to function unimpeded, and a selfish one springing from his need, as a breadwinner, to be allowed to speak his piece.
E. B. White (1899-1985) American author, critic, humorist [Elwyn Brooks White]
Essay (1939-01), “One Man’s Meat,” Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 178More about this quote: wist.info/white-eb/84790/

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

After he posted about the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal agents during immigration crackdowns in Minneapolis, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security allegedly issued an administrative subpoena to Google in February demanding detailed personal information about the unidentified plaintiff, including his name, address, location data, and credit card and bank account numbers.

This is such a straw man and false dilemma fallacy. People don’t have to work for either private capitalists or the state/collective/society. There is another alternative where people work for themselves individually or jointly: #EconomicDemocracy. This position isn’t justified with appeals to collective authority, but rather liberal individual inalienable #HumanRights theory.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Those who believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God may infer that any unusual opinion or peculiar taste is almost a form of impiety, and is to be viewed as a culpable rebellion against the legitimate authority of the herd. This will only be avoided if liberty is as much valued as democracy, and it is realized that a society in which each is the slave of all is only a little better than one in which each is the slave of a despot. There is equality where all are slaves, as well as where all are free. This shows that equality, by itself, is not enough to make a good society.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Lecture (1949-01-16), “The Conflict of Technique and Human Nature,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 4, BBC RadioMore about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/837…

On a gray day in a gray time, I happened to pass by this statue in Metz. It depicts Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette with a quote of him from 1778 about the fight for freedom and liberty in America.
I wonder what La Fayette would think today about his legacy...Nowadays, more than ever, we need people like La Fayette who stand up for freedom and fight against despots and oppressors—especially in the United States.

Taken directly from our 1775 diplomatic "Olive Branch Petition" to #KingGeorge III, the *U.S. Seal* shows the #eagle holding both, & pointedly facing the branch of peace, not facing the arrows of #war.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
The anatomy of patriotism is complex. But surely intolerance and public irresponsibility cannot be cloaked in the shining armor of rectitude and righteousness. Nor can the denial of the right to hold ideas that are different — the freedom of man to think as he pleases. To strike freedom of the mind with the fist of patriotism is an old and ugly subtlety.
Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-adlai-ewin…

Anti-abortion advocates worked for five decades to topple Roe v. Wade.
♦️They’re now laying the groundwork for a yearslong fight to curb #in #vitro #fertilization.♦️
Since the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month that frozen embryos are children, the #Heritage #Foundation and other conservative groups have been strategizing how to
👉convince not just #GOP officials but #evangelicals broadly that they should have serious 🔸moral concerns about fertility treatments like #IVF 🔸and that #access to them should be #curtailed.In short, they want to re-run the Roe playbook.
They plan to appeal to evangelical denominations and their leaders to take a firm stance that IVF as practiced in the U.S. destroys human life.
That, they hope, will reshape how conservative Christians
— and in turn, the officials they elect
— view the issue, just as it did on abortion.Ultimately, it could lead to laws that create a patchwork of IVF access in the United States, where the procedure is more accessible in liberal states and more limited in conservative ones.
“We’re at a junction where we could see a similar generational shift
— where people begin to consider reproductive technologies not as a separate but as a part of their cohesive pro-life framework,” said #Emma #Waters, a senior research associate at the #Heritage #Foundation.“Many of these pro-life Republicans are going to have to think more deeply about what it means to be pro-life.”
⭐️IVF is broadly popular, according to public polling, in a way abortion never was. ⭐️
👉But a plan is already in motion to chip away at that support.
Organizations including Heritage, former Vice President #Mike #Pence’s group Advancing American Freedom, and the #Southern #Baptist #Convention’s public advocacy-focused #Ethics and #Religious #Liberty #Commission have worked behind the scenes over the last few weeks to distribute talking points,
circulate policy recommendations and
educate Republican officials and their staff about their #ethical #concerns with how IVF is commonly practiced in the United States.The groups are not advocating banning IVF but want🔹 new restrictions 🔹that would significantly curtail access to the procedure,
such as imposing more regulations on fertility clinics,
limiting the number of embryos that can be created or transferred to the uterus at one time,
and banning pre-implantation genetic testing,
which they argue allows parents to discriminate against their embryos on the basis of sex, disabilities like Down Syndrome or other factors.At the same time, they have been having conversations within their conservative Christian circles that have revealed how much work they need to do to convince evangelicals that there are ethical problems with the procedure.
Most evangelical denominations have not taken firm stances on restricting fertility services like IVF.
