It's an interesting thing. I remember talking to my black peers at my inner city high school after I had returned from my foreign exchange program in West Berlin, Germany.
I was trying to emphasize the question of RECORDS and RULES.
This news story follows a trend that I'm noticing in America where the news room ONLY PRETENDS TO CARE ABOUT THE SITUATION... after a sisiphean exercise was done.
The news people say "Oh, this person can't afford to fight it." Well, I'll tell ya in my day - the 1970s and 1980s - we had truant officers taking care of this issue. The tables were totally turned.
Home schooling was not legal... and from what I've seen returning to the USA I think states and municipalities should begin to roll these laws back. Public schooling is important for accountability for how parents are raising their kids. Parents who bought houses with dwindling Bitcoin speculation funds and who are now home schooling seem to have been carte blanche to abuse their kids. And that was absolutely shocking to me.
Parents are never experts in raising kids. They kind of just show up because of your relationship with your significant other. They definitely need hand holding.
So, clearly from how this story is reported the secretary, the principal, and the lady down the hall got togetherd for a meeting after NBC called... and decided to point blank lie the press. And this wouldn't and couldn't have happened decades ago. And honestly, I think it's a disease of this age of EMAIL. Volunteering at a school in an American community years and years ago, I thought that emails are kind of shady, in general. Kids should be given hard copies of something to take home in their backpacks, when communication needs to happen. This is important for accountability.
Given the school chose to agree to lie to the press, it means BY DEFINITION they are violating national law and going back to try to delete emails and other records. There would nothing else happening if they have the temerity to not come forward and come clean, IMMEDIATELY!
The school district, with the professionals they hire, have a duty of care to the kids... and this is a gross violation of that, IN MY VIEW.
It's an interesting disease in the field of journalism when the news agency actually lines up behind the bully - an institution with lots of power, when pretending to support the victim... and crying lots of crocodile tears for the "oh so Dickensian" family!
See, the Germans are well aware of this historical author. And this must have been brought out to rich families over the decades whose children were to be groomed to enter the field of journalism. The parents may have brought out the song "Crocodile Rock" to play for the kid. I remember suggesting this VERY THING to my peers in middle school on Mercer Island Washington.
I talked with them all about the sneaky ways this Swiss woman had abused me for many years of my early childhood. "This actually SEEMED to culminate in my parents divorcing," I told them. My mother had taken my babysitter's side! And my father was getting rather concerned.
You could write a children's picture book about this. It would be called "The school that bullied the kids!"
It seems to me that the biggest problem I see upon doing a little survey of American families and schools this may of 2026 on the internet is that it appears that American citizens are quite aware of the level of wealth that women and men who have their faces on television (at a local or national level) enjoy.
Now, this happens because of coordinated efforts within offices and journalistic establishments to RIG THE GAME. There is a psychological science of how to present information to audiences in order to make sure that everybody's investment portfolio in the office shoots up.
Heck, a lot of the times the people invited on as experts have the confidence level sitting in front of the camera that they possess because they are avid users of such criminal websites such as Polymarket.
They know what's coming down the pipeline not because they have experience in policy making, or in the bureacracy... but because of horse trading.
I remember coming home from my student exchange program at eighteen years of age, and telling my mother that Germans just weren't like Americans. In essence I discussed with her how academics in Germany are talented at discussing and debating how systems work.
I eventually told Mom that, in the 1980s, it was very common that people got offended about being "lectured by someone." And this social dynamic doesn't seem to affect Germans at any level... I could tell this because of all the time spent with these kids - my peers at my public high school there. There's something about this which affects parenting, and certain kids are more put upon than others, and in America I could get other kids talking about this, but somehow this wasn't an issue for German teenagers in the late 1980s.
There are and were computer operating systems which make sure that the user is always confronted with data. It just happens over the course of a day with the keyboard. Perhaps, you opened a file with a text editor and discovered that there was an interesting pattern of data suddenly in front of you.
So, in the years between 1995 and 2010 desktop computer users were given the right experiences to help them gain computer literacy and the ability to go on to use complicated commercial software suites.
That computer literacy track didn't happen anymore after people universally adopted smartphone and tablet computing.
There was no confusion about what "information" in the computer age was for power users of Microsoft Windows XP in the years before 2010. It is two things:
a.) code, which runs the machine
b.) data (or what they call today "content")
Here's a fascinating question:
Is schizophrenia caused by hidden indictments against the individual?
Is the US mental health system chock full of people who are in this situation?
The Trump Administration seems to have one of these for every day of the week. And people seem to cheer whenever he brings one out.
Harassment is an interesting thing that whole communities at once exercise upon individuals that they don't know. Is it because they are halfway aware of people like Donald Trump having a bone to pick with that person.
When people cheer when a madman like Donald Trump puts out indictments against everyone who criticizes him, and overtly issues death threats to the children of women that he wants to silence... it's a fascinatingly lost world that we live in.
Is this what the information age has brought us? Everybody just wants to get into the back pocket of someone rich... and no one cares about ethics.
And then, of course, the person is told when he enters the mental hospital that the harassment is all in his head. It's not real. It's just his imagination.
You could even expand this quite a bit... to think about Russia... and how supportive Germans are of the reign of people like Vladimir Putin. He's just a misunderstood guy! The biggest gripe for several years against successive chancellors is that "You're not turning Russian oil and gas back on!" This was recently leveraged against Friedrich Merz... see, they use meta conversation without mentioning specifics when they want to level the accusation.
So, the question is how many people in Russia have the back of Vladimir Putin's family... when push comes to shove and why? And would this have to do with ties to the Russian Orthodox Church?
So... the syndrome that we see with the wild and unbridled support of the criminal Donald Trump might have an analogue since quite long ago across Russia.
And what does this all have to do with hobbyist photography, which seems to have become so controversial in recent years, in Western countries?
Documenting something is not something that those who wish hide gang activity want ordinary mortals to do!
I think that Donald Trump has a bad case of a little disease common to man.
He reflexively does something that he's done his whole life, whenever he is challenged.
He pulls out a lawsuit and then threatens the woman's children to keep her quiet.
It must be an old family recipe of his.
But people seem to support him in these little "flights of fancy" of his.
I remember making this argument with my mother, when I was in middle school. I had just entered seventh grade. There had been lots of talk about babies among my peers for longer than I was paying attention to. But all of a sudden it was MY issue, too.
I told Mom... someone's gotta support this man, if he was so horridly abused as a kid that they confused him while he was practicing his large motor skills as a toddler!
I brought out the word "reflexive" which she and I had discussed.
I remember that I talked with my peers at my middle school on Mercer Island, Washington about how the Russian Orthodox Church should become "a support network" for the leader's family.
I promised them that I wasn't going to talk about the Roman Catholic church that day. I was seated in the school library, and my chin was buried in my chest.
I chased after my peers, and told them that they should probably remember this, if ever they would hear of me "meditating" about it. I made sure to follow up with the concept that there were lots of ways of meditation, out there. "They weren't very religious, I didn't think." I told my friend Paul Morrison, later in our Pacific Northwest History class.
AT THE SAME TIME:
I was talking with my mother at home about my brother's teenage eating habits. I wanted to know if I was going that direction, too. My peers at school said it would probably would happen.
The Democrats want to curry favor with the citizens of America by putting one arm of the mafia in power. They often choose to sneak one of these actors in as vice president - a Joe Biden or a Walter Mondale.
Because the USA is run by a two person team, AND NOT by a single person this always leads to horrors for the country.
And then, as the New Zealand television program apparently refers to, there are "chasers" who run down "the real story" and then THE OTHER ARM of the mafia is put into power - So, Donald Trump and JD Vance.
In the middle of this, everyone wants to run down to the local synagogogue to get the "the hot tips that lead to success AND LOTS OF MONEY."
And certainly it's no fault of the local synagogue... but there ARE seventy thousand dead children in the Gaza Strip... which somehow no one has accounted for!
I remember canvassing my peers in elementary and middle school and finding that a lot of the boys seemed to have something about "Donald Duck" preinstalled into their minds. They had been watching cartoons and something just spontaneously happened, mentally, for them.
I remember praying at home at Mercer Island, about how the resident bully from third grade to sixth grade - an overweight boy called Paul - had that problem when watching Donald Duck cartoons.
This boy stewed all through the very small art class we took together in middle school. I regularly made Donald Duck noises.
You can see how corrupt Germany is, by comparing these two videos.
https://www.youtube.com/live/E5p67eFj02Y (Zdf Heute :: Chancellor Merz in an interview: Iran, the economy and coalition strife | Analysis on ZDFheute live)
This is the leader of Germany - the chancellor - being confronted and among other things being accused of not being a good communicator. This is the parting shot that they lob at him.
But the main focus is a series of insinuations that
> "The economy isn't doing well, AND YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT"
which is code for
> "Our commentators have talked for years about turning back on Russian oil and gas imports to Germany, and you're not doing anything about it."
Now, look at what just happened to Moscow Russia... A thousand Ukrainian drones were sent to the city. They hit the municipal airport, among other things.

So, there is something of two roads that diverged in the wood, to quote the Robert Frost poem. Upon being given its independence from the USSR in 1989, Ukraine gave up its nuclear deterrent.
Now, this is something I talked about with my peers in middle school in the early 1980s.
I explained the thought experiment, about how there would be severe consequences if this type of scenario played out, in the world.
I cried about this, a lot, over the course of some future years of my childhood.
So, you see what happened.
Vladimir Putin has a giggle about the fact that he knows that part of the deal for Mikhail Gorbachev dissolving the USSR was that there would not be a nuclear threat from Ukraine.
And so, he makes merry over the fact that people in the UK and Germany go on and on, over the years, gratuitously arguing that Russia expected that NATO wouldn't come closer to its borders.. as if they want to dangle the kids over the cliff (or fjord) in Poland or Finland, and have the Russians just come shoot 'em.
This disloyalty to the well being of people both in Russia and in Eastern Europe is what causes Vladimir Putin to be emboldened to march into the Crimean Peninsula.
The hardness of heart that the Germans and the British have, because of the methodical child abuse that permeates their countries is JUST ASTONISHING.
Do you know that the mass formation psychosis that Matthias Desmet talks about is a euphemism?
There's actually a carefully orchestrated technique that the US government used to get everyone to have a poison (the mRNA technology) into their veins! They had studied it, because they are always watching the American people.
At its core is the delegitimization of young males.
Consider, how much a boy learns from his single mother and from his schooling over the course of an entire childhood.
Consider how everyone in America wants the "hot tip that will make me rich" from the source that they always go to.
Consider how young males, specifically, will want to say, "Dad, wait a minute... what you heard of might work, and then again it might not."
After that young man goes home that day, the father then says to his wife, "Well, THAT was entirely unhelpful." This is because he has to reclaim his dignity, for it's the son of his ex, and his wife has been complaining about that son actually having a few months to get to know his father by living with the couple in his young adulthood.
Now, in addition to this... it appears to me as if American kids stopped learning in 2015, because Windows XP was retired. It would no longer run on modern motherboards. This is an interesting thing.... because there's a law of God that says "You cannot take away a person's workshop." Obviously, if the federal government simply swept in and took away all your husband's tools from his garage that would really raise alarm, now wouldn't it?
There are reasons why people work with one set of tools, versus the other set of tools. And these are very personal reasons... and very important reasons.
My mind, for example, was nothing more than Swiss Cheese when I was running Windows '98. It cleared up immediately when I started running XP. Well, more agency, efficiency and a better workflow was what I saw in my life.
The fact that college kids started rioting around professors like Jordan Peterson and later Bret Weinstein shows us that children stopped learning that day.
There IS NO FUTURE for a nation if the government can sweep in and take away people's workshops willy nilly.
What do we Americans have left, in 2026? We have gossip... people madly trying to chase down the information to get themselves personal wealth. We don't have productivity. We don't have innovation if our congresspeople have universally set themselves against institutions like MIT and other prestigious places.
Did you that some cities in the world (particularly in Europe) are so in-bred and thus riddled with gossip that they have to sound a siren at a distance (or in the case of Basel, Switzerland, ring the bells in the church towers) in order to have meetings in secret places about the victim of the gossip, whose picture they have been passing around?
I would speculate that it has to do with the fact that children in school are talking in a way that they probably shouldn't be, regarding what the town has been discussing.
For the victim... it's like playing a 1980's video arcade game... and he wonders whether he'll get to the next level.
Some Ukrainian children are being held in a camp in North Korea.
