Grotesque #torture.

One of thousands of examples of men torturing women and girls for their own erotic pleasure.

#Footbinding wasn't outlawed until the 1950s. The perfect lotus-blossom foot was 3inches long. It was done to girls at age 6. It kept women captive for centuries.
In the #footbinding process (it appears in my last novel, #OrdinaryMayhem) the girl's foot is bent backwards, so that her toes are underneath the sole of the foot.

It is then bound tightly to keep it in place.

The pain was described as excruciating and crippling.
@jaydakblack is a comic who thinks #footbinding is hilarious.

I'm certain he wouldn't think so if he'd been walking on feet like these since he was six.

Joking about the torture of women and girls perpetuates the cycle of #ViolenceAgainstWomen.

Don't do it.

I am behind #pizzagate 100%. I know #HumanTrafficking happens and I know #Rape and #Torture also happens.
But can we please stop crucifying every single person that ever made a reference to #pizza or every company that has a #spiral on their logo?
2-Not everybody knows about those connections. & it doesn't mean everybody is complicit.
Guys, we need a little more solid evidence other than somebody just posting a picture of themselves on a night out with friends.
I am 100% behind #pizzagate. but at times, it gets ridiculous
3-That being said, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have pageants for kids that can't barely say their names? How the fuck is not this child abuse?

When I see stuff like this, this is actually what I see 👇Sexualized kids to please #pedophiles

If any reporter intends to write anything about me, be sure to know what you're saying, & what I'm saying, & what the LAW is re: libel, slander, defamation, & free speech. I am not giving interviews. Everything I have to say is published here publicly for all to see @POTUS #QAnon
@POTUS If you wish to ask me reasonable, respectful questions AFTER you bother to inform yourself on what I've already said, you may do so here, publicly. I will choose if I respond. Note that NO response is also an answer. Choose wisely. #ByePhoenicia #theGreatAwakening #QAnon @POTUS

I haven't had a chance to read the entire #SIRC report on #CSIS myself yet, but the issues revealed just in this CBC article from @cattunneycbc are highly concerning, to say the least: cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli 1/12
First, timing: It's impossible not to note that this report, which could have had a direct impact on the debate on Bill #C59, was released the day after the bill passed 3rd reading and was sent to the Senate. It will remain important for the debates this Fall, though. 2/12
Second: #SIRC calls out #CSIS for its continued unlawful practice of collecting bulk datasets - including of people who are not considered direct threats to national security. CSIS claims it is dealing with these issues as part of their transition to the provisions in #C59 3/12

Opinion: Is The Zeitgeist Finally Shifting In Favor Of Julian Assange?

#ReconnectJulian #Unity4J #DefendWL #FreeAssange

disobedientmedia.com/2018/06/opinio…
This article is an attempt to encourage people to help in whatever way they can, and also to provide hope by seeing what people have already done! eg: Roger Waters' demonstration of solidarity at a concert, @ChrisLynnHedges's twitter thread, artists like @yarraspot & more!
As I wrote in the article, the ideas and opinions expressed in the piece are singularly my own, & are not endorsed by Wikileaks or any other person besides myself! 🙂

" Read the Senate’s executive summary of the CIA torture report
The report found that the methods used by the CIA were more brutal than the agency acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. "
