PS - there is a big differential between an administration and a presidency . To preside is essentially a position of maintaining a mood , and an administer implies a daily exercise of power . I believe that we need a review of power as an addiction - a consequence of mimetic experiences , It has no morality or direction , its just power for the sake of power , in areas that are not clearly spoken for by law . Right now , technology is flying foward so much faster than human beings can walk . Not sure how to deal with it , but as a person who works with words , not code , I believe that we can control language , and in the language is law .

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. I believe new technology is being harnessed and manipulated to drive a progressive left agenda (which includes a culture of political correctness and ridiculing Christianity.) At the same time, such technologies can also be used to fuel decentralized and pro-Christian online platforms and organizations -- if good Christians can utilize them.

Again, our sham of a government, targeting a Christian homeschooling family, is just like they’re targeting Amos Miller, the Amish farmer, who sells unadulterated products to the public. Can’t have that, can we. 2 perfect examples of massive government interference in peoples right to self determine what goes into their bodies and how they choose to raise their children.

Thank you for commenting and sharing further insight on the U.S. government's targeting of Christian homeschooling families. I believe we must do our small part by supporting homeschool pods, and local grassroots pro-Christian organizations for the current youth and new generations to come.

used to be they never blinked at the "christians", but went full tilt boogie after those of us who weren't affiliated officially with that particular group/cult/inclusion-exclusion category. Are they sending the CPS after them left and right to write them up for having "no cheese or milk" in the frig? Yeah. Sucks . That's just piddly stuff tho. They wouldn't dare go after any germans big time. As a matter of fact. I'm sure this is part of the endless pro-german propaganda the world's been fed since forever.

Thank you for commenting. To build on a previous reply, the central theme of the article focuses on the targeting of Christian families seeking asylum in the United States for religious freedom purposes. Another layer to consider is that this family in question are middle-class from a comparably high GDP country compared to the United States, which is a "thumbs down" for the current White House administration. They happen to be German, but they could have been any other nationality from Europe or elsewhere (think economically developed nations with a comparable GDP to America.)

This is an utter disgrace. Joe Biden's regime is welcoming, encouraging and incentivizing millions of immigrants to pour into our country ILLEGALLY, and yet when a family, who has a legitimate claim to asylum, enters through the proper LEGAL channels, they're now threatened with deportation. They will certainly face prosecution, as well as persecution, if they are deported. How does this even make sense? Is it because they're the wrong skin color? Or maybe because they're Christian? The Biden regime does NOT represent the United States of America! They have overthrown our rightful government, who believes in freedom and human rights. They need to be treated as enemies of the state and immediately made to face punishment for treason.

Thank you for commenting. Many empathize with your views and sentiments. There is a serious anti-Christian bias current running throughout the present U.S. federal government and the mainstream culture at large. I am more inclined to reason that this family’s commitment to their faith as a justification for homeschooling is more threatening than their ethnic origin to be honest.

They are absolutely not allowed to home school in Europe. I learned this many many years ago.

How nice people want them to stay.

I had to leave the US, my country of birth. and come to a third world country where all the money I spent on organic foods for forty years now gets me only commercial foods to eat. A great big huge tall massive glacial girl born of a German man who came here just for the green card and opportunities for money and land is eating all the food I had to leave behind cause folks like her dad have empty houses sitting round for them, and the rents are twice or more what I have. Once this daughter was born he let her mom know immediately that she was pure shit to him and only used for the child/residence/money.

She eats tons of free organics on my dime now, so she can buy lots of alcohol for years and years now, oh since the age of fourteen, germans drink more than anyone else, and I eat poisoned food and am down to one hundred and ten pounds. That's what it means to her to "win" complete control over my son. Good for her.

Why don't we just sign the entire goddamned planet over to them and get it over with already?

Sorry, but I'm half starving after raising six on organics and herbs, and the last thing I needed this morning was a worship of germans post.

Seriously, give 'em what they want. They won't be happy then either. They'll never be happy. I've never ever met a happy person born of german descent. Not one. And I've met many many many. Their natal charts are often heavily ruled by Saturn.The "germ" culture of .....there you have it. Take a look around.

Thank you for commenting and sharing your story. And welcome to the Dear Rest Of America (DROA) community! ... Friend, I am sorry to read you are half starving in your life. I hope and pray you find and/or create opportunities that fulfil you and your loved ones.

I am all for growing your own food and eating organic where the opportunity presents itself, but it shouldn't come at the expense of flushing your hard-earned money down the drain.

The article's main theme explores the injustice and unfairness towards tax-paying Christian homeschooling families in the United States, as opposed to others who might be agnostic and reliant financially and/or tied to the state. The family in question happen to be German, but they could have been of any other ethnicity for all I'm concerned.

Sorry. Of course, they "pay taxes"...where? both nations? ...and some people supposedly don't, I guess.

That's just how an assaultive group who wanted an entire campground introduced themselves to me two years ago. The sheriff later affirmed to me, in front of them, that they and their convictions are the reason he and his wife cannot go enjoy remote wild camping places in ORegon anymore.

That's the second thing she said, after "My husband is a logger, so you probably hate him.

The she said "YOu don't pay taxes, I do. "

"in what world"? I asked. "Oh, a hallucinatory one I guess" she answered. "YOu said it. " I replied.

The sheriff laughed at that one, and repeated "In what world indeed!"

I'm gone , one hundred percent. I ain't got what it takes for this godly tax paying nation

We homeschool in my house.

For the exact same reasons this family does.

I do not expect the "Buy-Done" admin to anything at all.

Whenever there is a chance to do a "good thing" this admin has done the opposite.

I (Japanese) had no interest in it until now, but I looked into it.

The number of elementary and junior high school students who did not attend school last year (2022) in Japan was 299,048, the highest ever. Although they can receive education outside of school called free school, some of them do not leave their homes. In most cases in Japan, it is not the parents who want to educate children at home, but the children themselves who dislike school for various reasons.

They have a correspondence high school.

If they want to enter a university, they can take the university entrance exam if they pass the national academic achievement test, even if they do not have an elementary, middle, or high school background.

The Romeike family case has a political smell to it.

The administration is to be administering the PRESIDENCY , not taking over the whole role of our magnificent governmental system . The President is supposed to preside over the government in case there is a situation where the decision of a single man is required , at that point only is the President to take action as commander in chief . ITs like the difference between a Nona knitting in the living room , while everyone is doing their thing , and Nona Micro managing the gnocci . Again , when we use language , which is HUMAN CODE , if we use a word that is misdirected , or over empowering , it destroys our ability to see the truth and the nature of the system . For example : Calling a murderer by familiar name that the criminal holds to the biological connection to the victim of the crime . "The dogs owner starved him and chained him to a post " No , the person who did that is NOT the owner of the dog . It is a criminal . Boyfriends don't hit , Mom's don't hurt , and .... Presidents do not administer . they preside .

Thank you for commenting. Frankly, what I do know is that many ‘migrants’ via the southern border have paid a fee to coyotes (anywhere between $ 5,000 and $15,000) to enter America illegally. Many take up blue-collar jobs in the construction or food industry, and corporate America, unfortunately, welcomes such low-paying labor. My knowledge of how many ‘benefits’ these migrants receive throughout their lifetime in the U.S. is limited. But this is a terrible system for America’s income inequality and America’s soul. Plus, the education system has little regard for demanding assimilation into American society.

I think they are used on both ends and exploited in the process too. I truly feel sympathy for them and contempt for all of those who are directly and indirectly exploiting them. Much money to be in the process. It’ is a long list of those involved. A special place in Dante’s hell for them.

To return to terrorism? Germany: Students Arm Themselves Against Muslim Migrants | Frontpage Mag

They are, instead, economic migrants, eager to batten on the benefits that the generous welfare states of western Europe provide. These include free or greatly-subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (even without a work history in Europe), family allowances, and more. But for some Muslims, even that largesse is not enough. They want more, and they supplement their welfare benefits with the proceeds from street robberies and house burglaries. Muslims in France, though only 10% of the population, make up 50-60% of the prisoners. In the UK., Muslims are 4% of the population, but 25% of prisoners. In Germany, Muslims are 5% of the population, and 23% of prisoners. Muslims committing crimes of property often use violence to intimidate their victims. In one city in Germany, having lost faith in the police’s ability to adequately protect the population from this Muslim crime wave, older students, and parents, too, have organized patrols and self-defense groups. More on this development can be found here: “Germany: Students arm themselves in city of Halle as violent robberies soar, parents describe ‘broken police force,’” by John Cody, Remix News, September 22, 2023:

Outrage after German family faces deportation and prosecution over 'home-schooling'

Outrage after German family faces deportation and prosecution over 'home-schooling'

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, (BLUE COUNTY) In a heartbreaking plea, the Romeike family, a Christian family who sought asylum in the US 15 years ago to escape persecution for homeschooling their children in Germany, is now desperately asking for the Biden administration's intervention to prevent deportation, sparking outrage and a debate over education and parental rights.

Uwe and Hannelore Romeike fled Germany with their five children in 2008 after they were threatened with prosecution for homeschooling their children, a practice that is rarely allowed in Germany.

HSLDA Files Asylum Application for German Homeschool Family

Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is supporting a first-of-its kind application for political asylum by a German homeschooling family.

https://hslda.org/post/hslda-files-asylum-application-for-german-homeschool-family

Political asylum is available to people already in the United States who fear returning to their home country due to actual persecution or who have a well-founded fear of actual persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Homeschoolers certainly have a “well-founded fear” of persecution in Germany.

This is so ridiculous and stupid . "Privately Educated " is a better term to use - as even if the mom is putting the work sheet down on the table , someone else from math land came up with all the equations to be solved . I also find the use of "Biden Administration " a poor precedent to start using . How totally ridiculous - right , lets go after people who care about their lives , and seem to be good at living .

As a writer , to a writer , The understanding that our language is CODE that acts in our systems as simply and clearly as a computer code magician does in a computer system . So refreshing , cleaning , and discussing the language we are using is vital to our personal , intimate and social health , as well as our relationship with both nature and god . I like to call this the biologos - and the new AI interface I like to term the Biologosphere , ( the Cloud ) so that it is used by us , and does not use us . The work of Rene Girard , and now continued by a few amazing alive scholars , about Mimetic response in humans is PROVED by language . Language IS mimetics , so managing that area of interface is hyper important to me , and also it is the ONLY place that I feel I can do anything at all about - well , the future .
