How the notion of "family" has been devalued
In books... songs... movies...
Greetings to all,
My first awakening to the “problem” was checking the books that were popular while I was homeschooling my 7 children.
In most of them the hero/heroine of the stories were children and/or teenagers or very young adults. They came from one-parent families and were the saviors in dire situations.
The books I read as a child growing up in Switzerland were also about children having adventures, yet it was in the context of a family. Le Clan des Sept (The Clan of Seven) and Le Club des Cinq (The Club of Five) were both about families meeting during summer vacations. The kids would go explore and, for example, find themselves hearing about a burglary that was about to happen. They went back to the parents, who called on the appropriate authorities and the crime was averted.
I have not read any of these series since I was a kid… so cannot say whether they have changed or not.
I was shocked when I saw the first of the Berenstain Bears stories. In Wikipedia, we read, "The action usually starts when the kids face a problem. They turn to Papa, who offers a ‘solution’ that only makes the problem—or the kids' fears about it—even worse. Enter Mama, who eventually sets everyone straight.”
It was usually the kids or Mama who solve the situation, while Papa Bear was the bumbling idiot.
My parents came to visit us in the USA and my dad made the remark that children were treated as little kings and queens when we were at a restaurant. A coloring page and crayons were immediately brought, and they were treated to a special menu. Kids could get out of their seats and run throughout the restaurant, without any parental control.
In Switzerland, when I was growing up, my parents took my brothers and I to a restaurant almost weekly, so we would learn manners: patiently wait, sit at the table without fidgeting, eat properly, be courteous to others, etc.
Last year (in 2023) I was in Switzerland for a visit; there were kids running around in a crowded restaurant, bothering patrons and servers alike. Children had become kings and queens as well. Why? Is this better? For whom?
(I was not sure whether to write “For who?” or “For whom?” - This is what I discovered: When deciding whether to use "who" or "whom" in a sentence, it is important to remember that "whom" is grammatically correct, but "who" is acceptable because people find "whom" pompous.” Really? Grammatically correct has become “pompous?” What a strange world we live in.
Many children movies have a one-parent figure (the other parent being dead or having abandoned the family). The kids in these movies often have a wonderful, adventurous life. Why could the plot not be set within a unified family?
I enjoy listening to French oldies… although I am noticing that many of them are about the breakup of a relationship. Why not sing about the joy of a lasting one?
Songs for the younger-than-me generation are often about violence, killing and rape. Once again, why?
In some ways, the answer may be simple, and more and more people are asking the question: are we being manipulated into less than healthy behaviors which are unnatural and make us depressed and miserable?
As I was pondering on the state of humanity, I read a newsletter which does a great job at summarizing what I am observing. Below is a one-liner of the 10 points (there is an agenda for male mind control as well):
1. Females are the new strength figures in most movies, easily dealing with stronger male adversaries, with superpower strength.
2. Females are encouraged to work outside the home and to exchange their dreams of motherhood and family in for the fun laced pursuits of material items and never-ending good times in the big city.
3. Females are imprinted with repetitive content designed to mind control them to consume large amounts of wine or alcohol.
4. Females are generally encouraged to attack their own breasts, a center of reproduction and healthy offspring.
5. Females are conditioned, mind controlled and socially engineered to be overly sexual, with the death of marriage as the end goal.
6. Females are being conditioned in the exact same way mice were conditioned in what's called The Universe 25 experiment.
7. The Bad Mom's mind control agenda is another psy-op and female behavior modification operation that inverts everything a female needs to be happy, healthy and to love her life.
8. Women are conditioned to never be happy with their natural weight, their natural hair color, their natural eye color, their natural bodies, their natural hair thickness or length, their natural lip size or their status level in life etc.
9. Females are conditioned constantly to have very low self-esteem by drowning the female in screen images of other females, who have much better lives than themselves.
10. I'll use point 10 to sum up here. We're seeing the dangerous high notes of these agendas today, with single females now being attacked by men dressed as women....within female sports, in female washrooms and even at female speaking events, etc.
Does the above resonate with you?

What could “government” mean?
Govern: late 13c., "to rule with authority," from Old French governer "to steer, be at the helm of; rule, command, direct" (11c., Modern French gouverner), from Latin gubernare "to direct, rule, guide, govern"
Inherited from Middle French -ment, from Old French -ment, from Latin mente, ablative singular of mens (“mind”).
Some believe it’s a “conspiracy theory” to think that a government is meant to “govern the mind.” What’s your opinion?
On a lighter note, I love it when the conscious mind works in harmony with the sub/unconscious, and I love this metaphor.
To me, it’s a partnership, like the beautiful ice-skating dance below, by Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron, who both have their own moves, and come together seamlessly. Click here or on the image.
Until next time,
LIVE with PASSION, PURPOSE and DELIGHT!
