    14 Ways in Which Abusive Parents Damage Children

    In the current matrix we are surrounded by people who may not be human, including those who are not even our real families although the matrix ‘virtual reality’ simulation system through a set of artificial stories fed into our brain wants us to believe they are our ‘home’.

    Domestic abuse and family based violence including sexual abuse, wife battering, marital rape and child abuse are all crimes but very very commonplace in the matrix of human law. Legal systems all over the world are inadequate and implementation disastrous. This leads to abusive parents damaging the psyche and lives of children, not limited to physical damage alone. Unfortunately common public and welfarism based law recognises physical damage alone and focuses on superficial welfare of child in terms of education, stability, autism and so on and ignores the imapct of domestic violence on children. Medical professionals seem concerned only in those cases where someone is hospitalised due to strong physical violence or aggression leading to bleeding or limb damage or death, and ignore the heavy mental damage which is perpetrated by violent parents against the welfare of their children in the following ways:

    1. They Ruin the Sleep of Children: Shouting day and night, abusive parents torture their victims mentally so that they cannot even sleep properly, get nightmares and being harassed mentally do give in to the demands placed by the abusive parent. Children listen day and night to shouting, get up late for school, get drained of energy and unable to perform well academically, unable to enjoy the day, feel blocked mentally and spiritually and cannot even remember their dreams that are frequently troubled. As a child we remember dreams of scary monsters who could be our own abusive family. Witnessing domestic violence can damage children forever, yet abusive parents have no empathy and lack insight into their behavior and its impact on child.
    2. They can Kill: Abusive parents can kill their children and mothers who are trying to escape from them. They demand compliance to their own wishes and feelings from their wives and children who are considered by them as properties meant to entertain them, support them, supply them food, sex, enjoyment, companionship and so on. If not they can be so angry and violent that they can even pick up a knife and threaten to kill with it. Unfortunately a lot of children as per Women’s Aid report do get killed by abusive dads. Children and mothers who are being abused, threatened or hurt cannot even call police as their phones are monitored and snatched by the abuser.
    3. They Teach Wrong Behaviour: Abusive and narcissistic parents are poor role models and teach wrong things to the child. Children learn that it is alright to get what they want using violence, hitting, pretending to cry, tantrums, anger, coercion and emotional abuse. Children learn emotional blackmail and crying false tears. They teach children to value vanity and false social image instead of being honest, heart-centred, truthful and integrity based. They tell children to lie and keep their dirty secrets and to not share what happened behind closed doors. They teach how to be ruthless, selfish, hedonistic, gluttons, greedy, and neglectful. They also lack sense of hygeine and neglect child’s nutrition and grooming and seldom train child on how to cook and look after himself or herself, to grow food or to practice environmentalism. They teach senseless religions and artificial spiritual values to children and make them pretend to be ‘good human beings’ just like them thereby fooling the world.
    4. They Turn Child to Reject Mother: The common factor in many domestic abuse cases is the abusive parent telling negative things to their child (and to all other people) regarding the other parent. In some cultures abusive parent and relatives manipulate the child against the other parent to prevents the other parent from being able to help the child grow up safely or get help from others. Children shout and scream at the abused parent or even hit them due to learnt behavior pattern since childhood. Young children can be turned overnight against the other parent to make him lie and refuse to see the other parent. Grandparents are also instrumental. Violence runs in the family lines which are patriarchial and they aim that children align with them.
    5. They Pressurise for Contact: Absuive fathers use the family court and legal systems to chase up the victims even after they flee and trace them down by making complaints against mothers stating they are creating ‘parental alienation’. Location is repeatedly exposed to them enabling them to be violent against their victims again. The fact that parental responsibility is shared equally between mother and fathers in developed nations goes against the abused parent who is normally the mother, and against safety of child who is treated as a responsibility of the abusive and abnormal father although they are irresponsible. To prove the facts using video recordings or eyewitnesses is very difficult in court and police usually takes no action leading to contact being ordered aginst the best interest of child even if child refuses contact.
    6. They Hit Child: Many of our parents were abusive in most cases in the past and hit us or slapped us when angry. This is a crime but a lot of countries consider it to be normal and allow it as a case of ‘disciplining’. You do not have to raise your hand to discipline a child, or even your voice. But in case of little children stating that child was not listening to the parent is a common excuse of abusive parent to hit the child. The instance a child is slapped it affects the mind of the child so deeply that it leaves a permanent mark. Unfortunately some parents routinise corporal punishment and consider it as a common occurence and as their ‘right’. They can also use other weapons or ways of hitting child.
    7. They Insult and Belittle Children: To make children subservient to them they speak rudely to the child in an important tone or high pitch or in a nasal voice and use gestures that are intimidating. Showing angry eyes widened in a threatening look, showing the stiff palm to threaten violence, hands on the hips to shout at them, pointing fingers, throwing away books so that child listens when he is reading, taking away their toys, not giving pocketmoney, withdrawing praise or affection, punishing child by way of cold treatment or time-outs, crying to child and making child feel they need to sympathise with them, making children feel guilty and answerable to the child or grandparent, all are abuse. They can threaten to ‘throw you out’, ‘lock you in the shed with spiders’ and make children feel they are shameful, stupid, worthless, terrible.
    8. They Want Child to Obey and Respect Them: Abusive parents want control. They exercise control over whom they consider vulenrable and unable to defend themselves – most likely to be children besides mothers. They can make you want to worship them by telling tall tales about their heroism and making you rather fond of them. They load you with gifts and praise and treat you as their special or ‘precious’ or their ‘pup’ ‘pet’ like a little dog taken away from mother and made dependent on the new ‘owner’. They also make you their slave at home asking you to iron their clothes or polish their shoes and to bring them tea or wash dishes.
    9. They Load Child With Expectations: They interfere with every decision a child makes regarding what subject to choose in courses or college, who their friends should be, what a child should should think, what hobbies they should have and whom they should date. They take away the child’s will power, imagination, sense of freedom and personal choices. Not only that they make you feel grateful for this and demand respect, love and admiration. expect them to do even better for them, for the family name, for grandparents and blame child for not doing good enough in what they want them to do. They could also use child to earn money or bring them popularity.
    10. They are Jealous of the Child: A strange thing about living with domestically abusive family members is that when you have a baby they seem happy outwardly as a gimmick of family values and sham cultural showing off, but in reality they are jealous of the child. They are especially unhappy that the woman gives her breastmilk to the baby and want to control breastfeeding and parenting. They are narcissists who want the entire attention of the family towards themselves and when their routine of movies, outings, travel, sex and shopping is disturbed due to presence of a young child or baby who needs immediate attention and care, they are shattered.
    11. They Do Not Prioritise Child: An abusive parent does not want to take breaks from career or prioritise the child’s needs above their own. They also feel that mothers should keep earning money right through pregnancy or after and make grandmothers or maidservants look after child, although untidy, underqualified and old fashioned and can harm the child instead of helping. Instead of learning parenting they consider having a baby in the household as an opportunity to show-off their rudimentary methods or to get grandparents or relatives interfere and dominate over mother to disrupt right parenting so that child is not benefited.
    12. They Make Child Poor: Abusive parents have no sense of priority to a child’s needs for financial stability, funding or saving for education, inheritence or even a decent livelihood. They make ‘by-products’ of children just for their own hedonism or sexual greed and to bring a ‘toy’ into the family to play with even if they lack means to bring up child into the world properly. They ruin family’s money by their irresponsible behavior losing jobs, gambling, alchoholism, cigarettes, drugs, wasting time, starting wrong businesses and making poor investments. They control and ruin well established businesses of other parent and sell away property. They are penny-wise and ‘pound-foolish’ to save small amounts of money by not buying basic good quality clothes, shoes, toys, bikes or school material for children even if they have funds.
    13. They Can Sexually Abuse Child: Abusive parents not only cheat on their partners and abuse them sexually, they also sometimes can be abusive to their own children. They can display the ‘lewd gaze’. They also allow you to be abused or harassed by rich relatives such as uncles in return of their presence or support to them or their siblings. Upon rejection by their abused partner, they can often use their child as their new ‘muse’, taking them around town with them for parties, to movies, shopping, to hobby classes or their office to fill up the gap. At times they coerce or assault children sexually.
    14. They Teach Animal Abuse: Children are usually kind hearted and hate abuse towards animals. When they talk about the disgusting taste of meat of animals, eggs, honey or dairy and the smell of leather, to question its origins, abusive parents who dislike animal rights and are narcissits encourage children to use animal products. They seldom rescue farm animals and instead buy pets as ‘toys’ to have fun with. They will brainwash you into their ways of living and lying that animals do not feel anything and were meant to be eaten for nutrition and their offspring, secretions or skin stolen. They boast about and normalise fishing, hunting and specieism. Such parents believe that ‘might is right’ and superiority is everything.

    People in the matrix are trained to imagine that we need to love and respect our parents, but with the help of tools such as the Bible that teach us false Luciferian and Satanic concepts of condoning rape, domestic violence, animal farming, slavery and child abuse. We need to be able to speak up and let people know what is going on so that the chain of abuse is broken, violence is not condoned and our children are safeguarded in the absence of police and legal support due to lack of direct evidence. Also these abusive people never change and it is hopeless to put any sense into their heads as they lack empathy and are usually not of human intelligence or consciousness to be able to introspect at all. They continue to lie, pretend and manipulate everyone and decieve their children and also turn them into abusive people themselves. They are your matrix family, inculcated in your mind through artificial simulation using false memories – they are not your true family and you are not home.

  • 20 Reasons to Stop the Murder and Abuse of All Animals

    vegan rallyFish, chicken, pigs, cows, sheep, goats, cats, dogs, humans…all animals are sentient. All animals feel pain because unlike plants, they have neurological pain receptors. Yet, farmed animals are abused and killed in cruel ways while humans who are also animals, enjoy a much higher status simply because our laws are skewed. British Dietetics Association and American Dietetics Associations have declared that vegan and plant based diets can be nutritionally sufficient and healthful at all stages of life and for all levels of activity. Yet, every year over 70 billion land animals and trillions of fish are killed mercilessly for food alone. Although we can do without any and every animal product, industries still breed, abuse, traffic, trade and kill animals for meat, dairy, leather, fur, feathers and other ‘products’ with animals used as commodities. This may be legal, ‘normalized’ and profitable but it is not right by any account, especially as it is destroying earth itself.

    Animal farming is a major cause of diseases among humans, both due to the pathogens released in livestock farming and slaughter that cause serious airborne and waterborne diseases, as well as due to the intrinsic risks of heart disease, diabetes, infections and cancers associated with various meats, poultry and dairy. The pollution caused to air, water and land owing to farming is dangerous not only to human health but also to the health of our planet. Because of the way animal farming is razing out all our trees and usurping land, food and resources, there is global poverty, starvation, land shortage, global warming and an upcoming mass extinction of wild vertebrate animals within JUST a few years from now, by 2026 which is deemed as ‘year zero’. United Nations reported as early as 2006 that cattle farming generates more greenhouse gases than transportation, while stating that meat and dairy are the biggest problems on earth today, and in 2018, the UN stated we have less than 12 years years to combat climate change and global warming. But we focus on other issues while ignoring the leading and most urgent cause of destruction on our planet? 

    The time has come for humanity to wake up and for all of us to come together and ask our governments to use good sense and to protect the rights of all animals by making all slaughter and abuse illegal, whether for food, fur, leather, dairy, eggs, hunting or for any reason and using any method whatsoever.

    We know that farmers would want to continue farming animals like commodities, and most people would appeal for ‘humane’ slaughter instead of a complete ban on slaughter. Humane slaughter however is an oxymoron as killing can never be a humane act, whether with pre-stunning, with creature-comforts or any kind of method whatsoever to supposedly ‘reduce’ pain or suffering. The lives of animals belong to them and not to us, and hence they should not be treated like inanimate objects or property. We need to ask ourselves if it were us in their place how would it feel and would it be justified in the name of ‘humane’ slaughter or ‘farming’ which is actually all about harming and legalization of murder and abuse just for profits.

    The time has come for us appeal to all lawmakers around the world to stop the destruction of our environment and subduing our planet with any kind of intentional slaughter or killing whatsoever. Make abuse and slaughter of all animals illegal and stop this practice immediately by refusing to fund it in the name of ‘industry’, ‘products’ or ‘food’.

    These are the reasons:

    1. It is clearly established that everything we need can be obtained in plants and farming or killing of animals is absolutely unnecessary for any reason whatsoever. British Dietary Association and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have already stated that plant based foods can provide adequate nourishment at all stages of life and all levels of activity.  
    2. The UN already says that meat animal farming are the worst industries for our planet causing the maximum greenhouse emissions and climate change.
    3. Serious lung infections and various pulmonary and waterborne diseases are associated with animal farming and slaughterhouse waste which is dumped in large quantities in our air and water, producing toxic methane, ammonia and pathogens. Prevalence of influenzas, asthama, bronchitis, meningitis and a host of infections are all known to be zoonotic and directly related to animal agriculture. 
    4. The brutal murder of any creature that is sentient is a horrendous crime and should no longer be legal under no pretext whatsoever. Murder should no longer be given an industry status.
    5. Misinformation being spread by industry sponsored and ill-intended research needs to stop as it misleads the public into thinking they need animal sourced nutrients for survival or health when they actually do not.
    6. The fact that dangerous infections and diseases such as zoonotic and prion diseases, microbial infections, cancers, heart diseases and diabetes are caused when humans consume or come into contact with animal products such as meat, fish, poultry and dairy has been hidden from public information for too long. No such diseases are transferred from plants to us or caused by plant based diet.
    7. We need to all go vegan and stop animal abuse by not funding the killing, not buying animal products or animal tested items and by creating awareness against the use of such products. However laws against animal abuse and slaughter are still necessary and inevitable.
    8. Farmers who are engaged in animal abuse and slaughter based ‘industries’ can switch to much more healthier, ethical and economically productive plant based farming that saves land, water, food-grain and ends suffering of both humans and animals alike and of our planet as a whole. Business is something we can choose based on ethics and consciousness instead of merely continuing on a path that is wrong to simply maintain status-quo.
    9. Killing and slaughter whether of fish, chicken, pigs, horses, cows or any animal whatsoever is a heartless act which leads to mental health disorders and criminality in not only slaughter house workers but also common public who have been trained to be insensitive to creatures around them.
    10. We need to promote organic plant based farming and not use pesticides and harmful chemicals that kill insects and destroy our health. But while we cannot avoid accidental death of insects we cannot use this as an excuse to promote large scale farming and murder of animals. We can be kind to all creatures and at least not consciously and willingly commit or fund murder.
    11. From food to clothing, consumer products, personal care, the byproducts of animal slaughter have reached most of our daily consumer goods and people are not even made aware of the fact that most of their purchases contain leftovers of murdered creatures just because these industries like to profit from every bit of the slaughtered animals. We need to ensure that all these disgusting products be replaced with clean and organic plant based items that are eco-friendly and non-toxic at the same time.
    12. Consumers have the right to know where their food and products come from. There should be complete transparency. Allow consumers and ordinary public to visit slaughterhouses, factories and factory farms and witness the crimes for themselves instead of hiding the truth and preventing footage. Allow rescue workers to bring animals out of this suffering instead of treating them like possessions of the industries just for profit.
    13. We have learnt the wrong systems, practices and habits from our ancestors, our family members, schools, peers, friends, celebrities, researchers and medical professionals who keep consuming and endorsing the use of animals in food and other products. Through this we have become insensitive, behaved like robots programmed by society and lost all our natural awareness and common sense. We need to stop condoning the evil of killing and murder now.
    14. Humans have evolved from apes who are primarily fruit eaters (frugivore). Our teeth, jaws, digestive systems are not designed to process animal meat. t is totally unnatural for us to be ‘omnivores’ as we cannot eat raw animal flesh like other carnivorous or omnivorous animals do by killing other animals out in the wild. Our education system has falsely taught us that humans are omnivores and this has misinformation in our textbooks has to stop immediately.
    15. Killing of animals for food is not part of the food-chain or balancing of the eco-system, in-fact it is quite the opposite. We breed and bleed close to 70 billion farm animals every single year just for food and trillions of fishes too. This has led to a severe erosion of our eco-system, waste of our land and resources and the single largest cause of the destruction of our planet and mass-extinction of species. There is simply no excuse to continue on this path.
    16. No amount of argument that ‘it is our life and our choices’ can justify the killing of animals for food or any other purpose, because in this case it is their life, that of animals and it is not just up-to us to decide what to do with them. Just because murder of animals is not considered illegal like the murder of humans is, this practice continues. Going vegan is one part of the solution and creating strong laws against animal abuse and murder is another, including not only pets and wildlife but also farmed animals.
    17. No religious scripture or deity can be quoted to justify the killing of animals. It is entirely unethical and we need to look within ourselves and open our own heart in order to feel what is right or wrong instead of letting wrong things happen because of religious beliefs.
    18. We all know that plants do not suffer, but they grow back when we take their fruits and vegetables while animals suffer tremendously when they are abused and killed. Fish, chicken, cows, turkeys, pigs…humans, all lives matter. Specie-ism is merely an extension of racism. Let us keep our human ego aside and stop feeling judged when we face the mirror of our own wrongdoings.
    19. Tremendous video footage has been released over the recent years to highlight the plight of animals that are raised and killed in factory farms and abattoirs. These videos and documentaries need to be seen by every person so that we can be sensitive to what animals go through and to how this has been affecting our health and our planet. Instead of restricting these videos, they should be compulsory viewing for all who have been misinformed and brainwashed into eating meat, dairy, eggs and poultry and using animal products. We have the right to eat what we want but we do not have the right to eat whoever we want. The right to kill animals for our pleasure cannot be called a human right, it is simply a human wrong.
    20. Children have the right to know what they are eating and where it comes from. Most children are aghast when informed that they are eating the remains of an animal who was killed just for them. Children naturally love animals and are slowly programmed to become insensitive to their plight. We need a mass education of all parents and children so that we can for the first time think for ourselves and open our heart by learning love and compassion for all creatures and towards our planet, something that has been missing from our curriculum at both school and home. We need to ask ourselves, if even watching this footage is mentally disturbing to children and adults, then why are these cruel and horrific industries and their products legal at all?

  • Positive Film Review: Dominion

    Positive Film Review: Dominion

    If we are pained by descriptions of how humans were treated in Nazi gas chambers and concentration camps then there is no reason why we should not be pained by this which is far more inhuman. For the World Vegan Month, in this free documentary filmed in Australia as well as UK, US, China, India, Canada and many parts of the world, we see the shocking truth about how animals have been treated every single day, even till now in the highly profitable meat, poultry and dairy industry.

    The filth, infections, poisons and diseases in sheds and the blood baths in slaughter houses will make you think twice before consuming meat, if not for the sake of animals then at least for the mental and physical health of your own family. Learn how many of the practices that are labelled ‘humane’ and declared ‘legal’ by authorities and animal welfare organisations are actually so cruel that most of us are not even able to see the videos without being brave. For those unable to watch the transcript is educative https://www.dominionmovement.com/transcript, however watching this film helps us understand what suffering is beyond our own so that we can awaken our heart and take action by educating the masses and campaigning to protect the innocent.

    As we focus on world peace, spiritual ascension and earth healing, we know that this is impossible without improving how we are treating other creatures on our planet. This is why this documentary is a must watch for all humans on earth so that we can stop supporting industries that abuse and kill animals and call for a global ban on slaughter and meat which is long overdue. After-all, we have known for a while how all of our nutritional needs can be fully met without harming any creature and with cleaner and greener ways of living.

  • Five Ethical Issues of Animal vs. Human Rights

    Five Ethical Issues of Animal vs. Human Rights

    As children we all have seen beautiful animals being raised as pets by families around us and wanted to have a pet for ourselves too. Many of us have had the privilege of ‘owning’ a pet animal and regard ourselves as ‘animal lovers’ simply because we love cuddly kittens and dogs. But could there be something that we are ignoring when it comes to the rights of animals as compared with the rights of humans?

    1. Sexual Abuse: Females are raped or forcefully inseminated in pet trade, dairy and animal farms where they are forcefully restrained during the act for the sole purpose of monetary profit of humans. In the case of special or selective breeding they are often subject to forced incest with their own sons or close family members which also causes several genetic complications and creates health problems such as low immunity, cancer and early death, while unwanted or unattractive babies are disposed off. Female animals are found suffering in gruesome pain with the frequent forced intercourse and labor of bearing children repeatedly, not to mention the emotional agony of their babies being snatched away. Is it possible for us to allow human females and babies to be abused and sold similarly? Then why are there no laws against animal breeding, farming and trade?
    2. Animal Control and Strays: While there are thousands of strays suffering, hungry and maimed on the streets or dying in road accidents in many underdeveloped countries, in developed nations we see hardly any stray dogs or cats on the streets because they are simply caught and killed in ‘animal pounds’ by animal control officers if not found or adopted within a few days of being lost or abandoned. Animal shelters try to rescue as many as they can but quite often animals are treated as ‘easily disposable’ trash on our streets and killed as soon as possible unless adopted. Pets are also euthanized or ‘put down’ by vets quite easily whereas human euthanasia is considered questionable even in the most severe of cases. Could we ever consider culling of homeless or ill humans in the same way? Then how do we justify this being done to animals just to restrict their population or lifespan simply because they are of no economic benefit to us.
    3. Spaying and Neutering: Spaying and neutering pets is mandatory almost everywhere or at least considered essential for all pet ‘owners’, so much so that baby animals are operated upon even before they have ever had a chance of naturally growing into or exploring their sexuality. Natural intercourse and mating between animals is considered wrong whereas forced intercourse for human greed is considered normal. This itself is one of the most ironic and usually ignored ethical issue when it comes to animal rights. The only reason for this is the fear that we might have to take care of the babies of our highly ‘loved’ pets which creates the issue of abandoning those ‘excess’ babies that land into animal pounds unless we spay and neuter them and prevent them from reproducing any further. Could we think of doing these procedures of spaying and neutering to our own human children for the sake or birth control or population control? Then why is do we not treat our pets in the same compassionate way?
    4. Owning Animals: When it comes to humans we consider ourselves as free beings with the rights to our own independent life. However animals are treated as commodities for sale, as exhibits in zoos and as easy subjects of experimentation, dissection and animal-testing. We proudly call ourselves pet-owners as if it is our right to own another being. We have artificially domesticated animals by taking them out of their natural habitats to be turned into our pets or farm animals for our enjoyment and comfort. Use and abuse of animals whether as race horses, beasts of burdens, cows for milking, sheep for shearing, cattle for rearing, hens for egg laying, pets for trading or for any selfish purpose whatsoever is unethical, no matter how prevalent and widespread. Could we allow ourselves or our human children to be ‘owned’ by any other alien specie for any of their experiments or projects? Then how do we consider ourselves to be any less monstrous when it comes to the way we treat other species on earth?
    5. Slaughterhouses: The biggest of all crimes in the world happens not anywhere around us but on our dinner tables everyday. We slaughter animals as if they were vegetables or fruits growing on trees and are ‘meant’ to be eaten. Because we purchase these slaughtered animals at the butchers or from supermarkets, all sliced and wrapped in packets, most children do not even know that there was immense bloodshed and pain in the making of their ‘happy meals’. We are responsible for lying and hiding facts from our children just to keep them eating the same things that we have been programmed to eat by our parents. Someone rightly said ‘if slaughterhouses were made of glass, everyone would turn vegan’. Yet, we vehemently protest when vegans try to post videos or pictures of what goes on behind closed doors of animal factory or farms even as billions of innocent animals are gruesomely murdered day after day simply to feed the taste-buds of the majority who refuse to open their eyes. This by itself is the single most demonic act that makes us the most evil specie on the planet. When we have strict laws and religious commandments preventing murder or killing of humans, then how come our laws have failed miserably when it comes to animals?

    Let us ask ourselves, ‘how can we go to any kind of ‘heaven’ or be one with any ‘God’ by simply following a certain faith or beliefs or merely through rituals, prayers and meditation, unless we become kind and compassionate to all creatures ourselves?’ Mainstream religions have so far made us believe that the ‘Creator’ considers humankind to be a special race or species who is allowed to dominate earth and control or abuse land and animals at our will, yet common sense tells us that the Creator is One with all beings and not partial to human specie. Would we ever be able to actually be in the energy of the One True Creator and be able to manifest a kind and compassionate universe instead of being slave to regressive beliefs that have only led to tremendous suffering and degradation of our planet?
