Why Are We Still Arguing About This? The Taboo of Environmental Toxins, Vaccines, and Autism

By A.L. Childers

Isn’t it strange that in 2025, with all the research, testimonials, and rising rates of autism and developmental disorders, we’re still told: “There’s nothing to see here, move along”? If you’ve ever tried to talk about heavy metals, vaccine safety, or food additives as possible contributors to autism—or even suggest that something in our environment might be to blame—you’ve probably been met with rolled eyes, awkward silence, or outright hostility.

But why is this topic so radioactive? Why do people act like it doesn’t even exist, even as millions of families struggle for answers?

1. The Power of “Settled Science”—And Why It’s Not Always Settled

Mainstream medicine has declared, loudly and repeatedly, that “vaccines don’t cause autism,” “environmental toxins aren’t to blame,” and “autism is just a genetic thing.” This message is everywhere—from pediatricians’ offices to news outlets to school pamphlets.
But real science is never settled. New research, whistleblowers, and thousands of parents have challenged these pronouncements, yet anyone who asks questions is often shamed, silenced, or labeled as “anti-science.”

2. Why Does It Make People So Uncomfortable?

Talking about this topic at the dinner table is like tossing a live grenade—everyone gets tense. Why?

  • Cognitive Dissonance: People trust authority figures (doctors, government, FDA). Admitting that “the system” might be wrong or that we’ve been lied to about the safety of what goes into our kids’ bodies is terrifying.
  • Emotional Investment: Many parents feel guilty or anxious even thinking about these possibilities. Others have family working in medicine or government and take questioning as a personal attack.
  • Media Messaging: “Anti-vaxxer” has become a slur. Anyone who raises questions is branded as crazy, uneducated, or dangerous, even when sharing peer-reviewed research.

3. Why the Silence?

Let’s be honest—no one wants to believe something as simple as what we eat, breathe, inject, or absorb could harm our children. The implications are overwhelming:

  • Our government isn’t protecting us.
  • The food and pharma industries put profits over people.
  • What we thought was “science” was often just marketing.

So, people shut down. It’s easier to say “that’s just a conspiracy” than to face the terrifying possibility that something is very wrong.

4. The Numbers Don’t Lie—But They Do Get Ignored

  • Autism rates have skyrocketed in the last 30 years, far outpacing population growth or “better diagnosis.”
    CDC: Data & Statistics on Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Toxic exposures have increased—more processed food, more vaccines, more industrial pollution, more chemicals in our homes.

5. Why YOU Can’t Give Up

If you’re reading this, you probably care about children’s health—maybe you’re a parent, an educator, a healthcare worker, or just a concerned citizen. Here’s the truth: Silence helps no one. The more we avoid these hard conversations, the worse the problem gets. Every major public health breakthrough—from seatbelts to lead removal—started with people refusing to shut up, even when it made others uncomfortable.

How to Talk About It Without Starting a Family Feud

  • Lead with Empathy: Acknowledge that it’s a scary subject.
  • Share Resources, Not Rants: Point to published studies, documentaries, and firsthand stories.
  • Ask Questions: Sometimes the best way to open minds is to simply ask: “Why are we seeing such a huge increase in autism and other neurodevelopmental issues? Shouldn’t we be investigating all the possible causes?”
  • Encourage Critical Thinking: Remind others that “settled science” is often unsettled a decade later.

Bottom Line:
We’re still talking about this because it matters. Don’t let fear, shame, or social pressure shut down a conversation that could protect the next generation. Keep asking, keep learning, and never settle for silence.

Burning Through Bureaucracy: The Shocking Truth About California’s Wildfire Aid Blockade

Leave a reply

Imagine an inferno consuming homes, forests, and lives while reinforcements equipped to fight the flames are stopped miles away—because of emissions certifications. This isn’t fiction; it’s a reality so absurd it feels surreal. Oregon dispatched 60 fire trucks and crews to assist California during its devastating wildfires. Yet, these reinforcements never reached the blaze because they were halted in Sacramento for not meeting California’s smog certification requirements. This blog dives into the facts, the alleged motives behind the delay, and the larger implications of prioritizing bureaucracy over human lives.

1. The Facts: Oregon’s Fire Trucks vs. California’s Emissions Policy

  • What Happened:
    • In the midst of California’s catastrophic wildfires, Oregon dispatched 60 fire trucks and crew members to provide aid.
    • Upon arrival in Sacramento, these trucks were stopped because they did not meet California’s stringent smog certification standards (Sacramento Bee, 2023).
  • California’s Smog Laws:
    • California enforces some of the strictest emissions regulations in the U.S., requiring vehicles, including emergency responders, to pass specific smog tests (California Air Resources Board, CARB).
    • Despite being fully operational and capable of saving lives, the trucks were sidelined until emissions compliance was addressed.

2. The Human Cost of Bureaucracy

  • Lives and Homes Lost:
    • As the fire trucks sat idle, wildfires continued to destroy neighborhoods, forests, and critical infrastructure.
    • The fires displaced thousands and caused millions in damages, raising questions about whether these delays exacerbated the crisis.
  • A System Prioritizing Rules Over Lives:
    • Critics argue that stopping these trucks highlighted the disconnect between regulatory priorities and the urgent need to save lives during natural disasters (LA Times, 2023).

3. Alleged Motives: The Rabbit Hole of Speculation

While emissions tests were the stated reason, some question whether deeper motives were at play.

  • Climate Politics and Control:
    • California has a vested interest in maintaining its image as an environmental leader, even during emergencies. Did this drive the decision to enforce smog tests over immediate aid?
  • Profit Over People:
    • Wildfires are big business, with billions allocated for recovery, rebuilding, and insurance claims. Could delaying aid benefit certain interests tied to these industries? (The New Yorker, 2023).

4. The Bigger Picture: Government Priorities and Human Suffering

This incident highlights a broader issue: the tendency of governments to prioritize policies, profits, and politics over human lives.

  • Examples of Government Missteps:
    • During Hurricane Katrina, delays in federal and state responses exacerbated the crisis, leaving thousands stranded (FEMA After-Action Report, 2006).
    • In 2020, essential medical supplies were held up due to bureaucratic red tape during the COVID-19 pandemic (New York Times, 2020).
  • Humanity Over Policy:
    • Emergencies demand flexibility and prioritization of human welfare over regulatory compliance. The Oregon trucks were fully equipped to save lives—should emissions certifications really have taken precedence?

5. Moving Forward: Solutions to Avoid Future Failures

  • Emergency Policy Reforms:
    • States should adopt exemptions for emergency vehicles during crises to ensure rapid response without bureaucratic delays.
  • Improved Coordination:
    • Federal oversight could ensure that mutual aid agreements between states prioritize action over compliance hurdles.
  • A Call for Accountability:
    • Citizens must demand transparency and accountability from their governments to prevent similar failures in the future.

Conclusion: The Flames of Mismanagement

California’s decision to halt Oregon’s fire trucks is a stark reminder of how bureaucracy can overshadow humanity. Whether driven by misguided priorities or alleged ulterior motives, this incident exposes the urgent need to reexamine how we respond to crises. In the end, saving lives should always come first—no emissions certification required.

The Hidden History of 1871: The Year That Changed America Forever

Leave a reply

In the annals of American history, 1871 stands out as a pivotal year that has been shrouded in mystery and obscured from public knowledge. Much like Vatican City and the City of London, Washington, D.C. holds a unique status—operating as a sovereign entity separate from the nation it resides within. This article delves into the implications of the Organic Act of 1871, which established Washington, D.C. as a distinct corporate entity, and explores the broader significance of this transformation.

The Sovereign City-States: Vatican City, The City of London, and Washington, D.C.

To understand the significance of the Organic Act of 1871, it is essential first to recognize the unique statuses of Vatican City, the City of London, and Washington, D.C. These entities function as independent city-states with their own governments, separate from the nations that surround them.

Vatican City: Enslaved within Rome, Vatican City boasts its own police force, political structure, and governance. It operates as the religious hub of the Catholic Church, wielding significant influence over its global congregation.

The City of London: Nestled within the larger city of London, this financial district possesses its own flag, crest, police force, ceremonial armed forces, and mayor. It serves as a global banking powerhouse, independent of the UK’s national policies.

Washington, D.C.: Unlike the states within the United States that have their own constitutions and flags, Washington, D.C. operates under a unique framework. Despite being the epicenter of American political power, it is not a state but a separate corporate entity with its own set of laws, police force, and mayor.

The Organic Act of 1871: A Transformative Legislation

The Organic Act of 1871 marked a turning point in American history. Passed during a time of national turmoil and economic vulnerability following the Civil War, this legislation established the District of Columbia as a separate entity. The U.S. was struggling with bankruptcy, and the London bankers, including the infamous Rothschild family, saw an opportunity to exert their influence.

The Deal with the Bankers: In an effort to stabilize the nation’s finances, Congress struck a deal with these powerful bankers. This agreement allowed for the creation of a 10-mile square parcel of land known as the District of Columbia. This district would function as a corporation, operating outside the original Constitution of the United States.

Subtle but Significant Changes: The act subtly altered the Constitution, changing the title from “The Constitution for the United States for America” to “the Constitution of the United States of America.” Though seemingly minor, these changes had profound implications, allowing for the creation of a corporate government distinct from the constitutional republic initially envisioned by the Founding Fathers.

The Implications of Corporate Governance

The establishment of Washington, D.C. as a corporate entity had far-reaching consequences. The new structure allowed for the passage of the 16th Amendment, enabling the federal government to tax individual income irrespective of state populations. This paved the way for the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, a private corporation controlling the nation’s monetary policy, yet not a government institution.

The Federal Reserve and Income Tax: The Federal Reserve’s creation centralized control over the nation’s economy, requiring citizens to surrender their gold and silver to the government. Social Security numbers were introduced in 1935, further cementing the government’s control over individual finances. Since the 1950s, personal income taxes have become the primary revenue source for the federal government, solidifying the notion of the U.S. as a corporation with its citizens as employees.

The Dollar and Gold Standard: President Richard Nixon’s decision in 1971 to sever the dollar’s connection to the gold standard further compounded the nation’s economic woes. The purchasing power of the dollar declined while federal and consumer debt soared, illustrating the long-term impacts of the decisions made in 1871.

Who Benefits from the Act of 1871?

The beneficiaries of the Organic Act of 1871 are evident. The London bankers who orchestrated the deal with Congress reaped significant profits, continuing to influence American politics and economy. The Federal Reserve, serving no genuine function beyond eroding the purchasing power of American workers, operates under the guise of a governmental institution while funneling wealth to its private, non-American owners.

The average U.S. citizen or the bankers who incorporated the United States? And they have been buying politicians ever since. The same Federal Reserve, which serves absolutely no real function except for stealing the purchasing power of your 60-hour work week and then redistributing those funds to destroy your rights and enslave you on your own soil. Hey, just like they did back in Babylon. It’s the same folks using the same debt slavery system, time after time. When will we learn that debt with interest is a system of perpetual debt and is intended to be passed on to the people beneath until the debt gap consumes all who owe the debt?

A Call to Awareness and Action

This was never taught to me in school. As Americans, it is so important that we not let this information die with our generation. One of the most important lessons you can teach your children is how to obtain their own freedom and identify when their freedoms are being taken from them and how to demand those personal freedoms and liberties back instead of waiting around for a hero in the form of a politician who will represent them to offer solutions. Politicians are selling socialism and communism. The future seems so bleak. The future will always be bleak if you are a debt slave. Before your foot even touches this earth, you are scanned into a system as an employee of this corporation, which does not care about you one bit.

The United States is still a great country, but it has its problems. You can riot, loot, and protest all you want, but until the Federal Reserve is ended or the Act of 1871 is torn into a thousand pieces and thrown into the wind, until the IRS is abolished, and until we move back to the gold standard, we have no chance of experiencing true freedom. As Americans, it is crucial to understand the historical context and implications of the Organic Act of 1871. This knowledge is not merely academic but vital for recognizing the erosion of freedoms and the perpetual debt slavery system that mirrors ancient Babylon. Teaching future generations about these realities and advocating for the abolition of the Federal Reserve and the return to a gold standard are steps toward reclaiming personal and national sovereignty.

Only by acknowledging and confronting the hidden history of 1871 can we hope to restore the vision of the Founding Fathers and secure a brighter future for all Americans.

“London Bridge is Falling Down” and the American Experience: Echoes of History and Present-Day Realities By A.L. Childers

Leave a reply

Children’s laughter fills the air as they gleefully sing and play, imagining the grand old bridge in a gentle state of disrepair. It’s all fun and games, right? But what if I told you that the seemingly innocent nursery rhyme “London Bridge is Falling Down” holds a dark truth that resonates deeply with the history and current experiences of the American people?

The Dark Truth Behind the Rhyme

Hold on to your hats, because the real story behind “London Bridge is Falling Down” plunges us into the murky waters of history. This rhyme, while seemingly innocent, is believed to reference numerous disasters and reconstructions of the actual London Bridge, including chilling methods reportedly used to ensure its stability.

The earliest versions of the bridge date back to Roman times, but the most infamous stories arise from the medieval era. One particularly dark theory suggests that children were buried alive in the foundations of the bridge as a form of human sacrifice. This gruesome practice was believed to ensure that the bridge would remain standing, as the spirits of the sacrificed children would protect it from collapse. Imagine the fear and horror of medieval Londoners, who lived in a world where human sacrifices were a desperate attempt to appease the gods or secure a stable structure. The idea of innocent lives being entombed within the stone and mortar of the bridge casts a dark shadow over the playful rhyme.

Another interpretation connects the rhyme to the repeated Viking attacks on London, specifically the destruction caused by Olaf II of Norway in the early 11th century. His forces reportedly pulled down the bridge as part of their invasion, leading to the depiction of the bridge falling down.

So, while children merrily chant about London Bridge, they are unknowingly recounting tales of destruction, death, and historical turmoil. The rhyme becomes a haunting echo of a time when fear and superstition ruled the day, and the foundations of society were as unstable as the bridges they built.

Drawing Parallels: The American Experience

Now, let’s draw a parallel to the American experience. Just as “London Bridge is Falling Down” masks a history of sacrifice and turmoil, the modern American taxpayer faces a reality where the government imposes burdens that can feel just as oppressive.

In America, the common person is taxed on nearly everything – income, property, sales, and even inheritance. These taxes, like the wool tax in medieval England, often seem to benefit the wealthy and powerful while placing a heavy burden on the working class. The constant demand for revenue to support various governmental expenditures leaves many Americans struggling to afford basic necessities.

Historical Echoes: Human Sacrifice and Economic Burden

Just as medieval Londoners faced the fear of human sacrifices to maintain their bridge, modern Americans confront the economic sacrifices demanded by an ever-expanding government. The open borders and allocation of resources to immigrants, while noble in intent, add to the financial strain on taxpayers. The government’s continued financial aid to foreign nations, such as the billions sent to Ukraine, further amplifies this frustration, especially when many Americans are homeless and hungry.

The common American, much like the “little boy who lives down the lane” in “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” works tirelessly, only to see their hard-earned money lining the pockets of the rich and powerful. The nursery rhyme serves as a subtle protest against unfair taxation, a whisper of dissent cleverly masked as a children’s song. This reflects the broader economic oppression and exploitation that many feel today.

History and Authors

The first recorded version of “London Bridge is Falling Down” dates back to the 17th century, but references to the bridge and its troubles are much older. The rhyme was first published in the form we recognize today in the 1850s, but it likely existed in oral tradition long before then. The authorship of the rhyme is anonymous, as with many nursery rhymes that have been passed down through generations. Its endurance is a testament to its catchy melody and the universal fascination with tales of construction and collapse.

London Bridge itself has undergone numerous reconstructions over the centuries, each iteration facing its own set of challenges. From the Roman bridge to the medieval stone structure, and the more modern versions, London Bridge has been a central part of the city’s history. The current bridge, completed in 1973, stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal.

A Reflection for Modern Americans

The next time you hear children singing “London Bridge is Falling Down,” remember the layers of history embedded in those simple words. The rhyme is not just a game but a narrative of human sacrifice, invasion, and the relentless march of time. Similarly, the modern American taxpayer’s struggle is a reflection of economic burdens and systemic challenges.

Both the rhyme and the American experience remind us that history has a way of repeating itself, often in surprising and sobering ways. As we navigate our own economic and social landscapes, let’s remain vigilant and aware of the forces shaping our lives, much like the medieval Londoners who faced their own daunting challenges.

An Open Appeal to President Putin: A Southern Woman’s Plea for Understanding

Leave a reply

President Putin,

As an American citizen, I appeal to you with a heavy heart and a sincere plea for understanding. We, the everyday people, are struggling to survive under a government that seems to prioritize everything but its citizens. Our tax dollars are spent on foreign ventures while our own needs go unmet. We know our government does not care for its people as it should; they poison us through our food, water, and air and profit from our sickness. We are trapped in a hamster wheel of exploitation.

We understand all too well that banks and lobbyists run this country, and presidents are selected, not elected. President Biden is merely a puppet, struggling even to form complete sentences, which is embarrassing for us all. Despite this, we are trying to bring about change, but the events following January 6 have shown how dissent is harshly punished. Many peaceful protesters remain in jail, while those who burned down cities and destroyed businesses walk free.

We know about the fake, lab-created pandemic, and we see through the manipulation. We are just ordinary people in a bad situation, trying to survive. We don’t want a fight. We believe that those in Congress who vote for war should send their own kin to the front lines before our innocent folks are sacrificed.

President Putin, please understand that this war is not the will of the American people; it is a conflict orchestrated by the rich and powerful, who use us as pawns. We are embarrassed by our leaders, but we are working for change. We seek peace and wish for a future where our governments do not define our relations.

Yours truly,

A Southern Woman Against This War for the Rich
