i dont talk about being NPD pretty much ever because why would i lol but i wanted to bring it up specifically in this context:

Jimmy is my favorite character from Mouthwashing.

I don’t want or intend to excuse his actions- his assault of Anya is the literal catalyst for the story- but I don’t believe he’s a “bad person” because I don’t believe in the ontological distinction between “good” and “bad” people. Pulling a page from BoJack Horseman- there are only good and bad actions. And Jimmy makes a lot of really awful decisions! But fuck, I think he is so well written when he makes these bad choices. Again, not attempting to excuse or downplay him raping Anya- I myself have been the victim of some pretty shitty stuff. But I’ve also perpetuated some pretty shitty stuff. So here’s a narcissist’s perspective of a narcissist:

I think it’s possible to recognize and atone for shitty choices. However, it can be difficult, especially for a narcissist, to recognize the consequences of their actions in the immediate context of making them. He crashes the ship because he is faced with the fact that his post as co-pilot will mean nothing after the layoff. Meanwhile, the heroic leader of a crew stranded in space? That’s something. Something that almost certainly will overshadow the inevitability of Anya immediately reporting him the second the cargo run is over, and, better a hero or a castaway then an unemployed rapist, right? He didn’t mean to horrifically maim curly, but hey; he’s captain now! What good luck! And with Curly unable to speak, the entire Responsibility can be placed on him for the crash.

There’s something to be said also for the conversation he and Curly have just before the crash. He tells Curly that he was supposed to be responsible for everything. He was supposed to take care of it. Here’s the thing about narcissists- we’re really good at avoiding responsibility. So his rape of Anya isn’t his fault, not *really*- Curly was supposed to be responsible! But now Jimmy has all the responsibility. So he starts making choices- and they aren’t good ones.

I don’t think he wanted or expected Daisuke to be horribly maimed by the vent- in fact, I would expect a totally delusional mindset that he would totally be fine crawling through the vent to be very in character for Jimmy or any other narcissist. But obviously he won’t do it himself. He doesn’t want to put himself in danger- but very likely, he believes that Daisuke is simply the better choice due to his training.

I don’t think many of Jimmy’s bad actions (that we see over the course of the game) are conscious ones. He’s simply acting in line with his worldview. You see, here’s the thing about narcissism- having low or no empathy kind of sucks, actually! That’s not just me playing the victim (admittedly something narcissists are wont to do) - when you have low empathy, it’s incredibly difficult to believe that other people do. So when he tells Daisuke that Swansea is saving the last pod for himself- that’s not him consciously manipulating Daisuke. It is a very obvious manipulation, but Jimmy genuinely believes that Swansea intends to use the pod for himself- because it’s exactly what he would do if he was in Swansea’s position, and that in of itself is enough for him to vilify Swansea.

Similarly, I don’t think he intended to cause Daisuke suffering by disinfecting him with the mouthwash- we, as the player, remember Anya saying it’s useless as disinfectant- but that’s because it’s been mere hours for us, while for Jimmy, it’s been months. He genuinely believes it will help Daisuke.

We get to see a lot of his own rationalization with his donneresque dinner party and his conversation with Curly- as long as someone survives, he can be a hero, he can gain public recognition and respect- what more could a narcissist want? I mean, I’m a semipro musician- I would fucking know.

When his sanity starts to slip, and he’s attacked by horrific monstrosities - that’s a subconscious manifestation of his guilt. Until the end, he is unable to reflect at all- but that doesn’t stop the subconscious from seeing through the artifice of ego.

To the last moment, his directive is to “take responsibility,” and in his own twisted way, he does! He does in the most selfish way. When he finally recognizes the last step he can take to fix everything, it is the most selfish one of all. It is his last resort- not one he chooses earlier, although he perhaps could have and spared the crew plenty of suffering. I think it’s powerful that his last words are that he can fix everything- because he really could have, if he had just gotten off the Bad Choice road.

This post is far too personal and far too meandering at this point- so I’ll leave it at this. Jimmy is a man who does some truly monstrous, unforgivable things, and I love him. He’s my favorite.

One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher tried repeatedly to force a mask on a crying toddler, despite his visible distress.

In some ways, the U.S. government at all levels, especially among public health officials, treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures from mask mandates to vaccine mandates despite many scientific studies showing none of them have stopped Covid from spreading in our society and infecting people. There has been no national reckoning on what went wrong in our pandemic response and who should be held accountable, and there are new signs those same ineffective and sometimes cruel Covid measures are coming back to dictate Americans’ lives this fall.

White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre announced this week that President Joe Biden would start wearing a mask again after his wife tested positive for Covid. The president and the first lady had received Covid vaccines and boosters before and were infected anyway. But the facts haven’t stopped President Biden from encouraging all Americans to get Covid booster shots this fall. Meanwhile, Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Maryland handed out KN95 masks to third graders because more than three students were infected with Covid. At the University of Michigan, students who test Covid-positive still have to leave their dorm (even if in a single room) and isolate themselves in a hotel for five days.

This renewed Covid hysteria is unwarranted because, three years after the coronavirus outbreak spread from China to the rest of the world, we have learned that many government measures have failed to prevent Covid’s spread while causing undue harm. For example, research from as early as fall 2021 showed that vaccines didn’t prevent the virus from transmitting, and natural immunity is at least as protective as vaccines. Yet the federal government, many state and local governments, and businesses imposed vaccine mandates on employees, and many people lost their jobs due to being unable or unwilling to meet the mandates. The media and tech companies shut down debates and vilified anyone who raised questions.

Similarly, research on the effectiveness of masks, including a study published by the Cochrane Library, which “analyzed 18 randomized controlled trials that aimed to measure the impact of surgical masks or N95 respirators on the transmission of respiratory viruses,” found that wearing a mask “probably makes little or no difference” in preventing transmission. Yet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Americans that masks provided more protection against Covid than vaccines. Based on the CDC’s misleading recommendations, about 39 states imposed mask mandates, and some included children as young as 2 years old. However, research showed masking “impacts children’s ability to recognize faces and emotions.”

Other Covid measures, such as lockdowns, caused a spike in mental health problems among Americans, especially youth. Prolonged school closures and remote learning caused widespread learning loss. “If the recent learning loss can’t be reversed, it would equate to a 1.6% drop in lifetime earnings for the average K–12 student, or a nationwide total of some $900 billion,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

Need for a Review of Mistakes

Historically, after a significant event that profoundly affected America, whether it was the Kennedy assassination or the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. Congress established commissions to investigate what happened, what went wrong, who was responsible, and how we could prevent mistakes from happening again or be better prepared. Yet so far, there is no Covid-19 commission in the U.S., which makes us an outlier among our peers. Countries from Norway to Sweden to the United Kingdom have either started or even finished their public inquiries into their governments’ Covid responses.

Harvard professor and epidemiologist Dr. Martin Kulldorff and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a physician and professor at Stanford Medical School, believe the U.S. should establish a bipartisan Covid Response Commission so we can learn what went wrong and be better prepared next time. These two professors established their credibility in the public health policy debate during the pandemic by co-authoring, along with Oxford University professor Dr. Sunetra Gupta, the Great Barrington Declaration, a public petition calling for an end to the lockdowns and returning life to its pre-pandemic norm as early as fall 2020. Had both the Trump and Biden administrations listened to their advice, the U.S. could have reduced or even avoided many adverse outcomes we see today, from the mental health crisis to learning loss among our children.

For a Covid Response Commission to be credible, Kulldorff and Bhattacharya recommend it tackle four areas: public health measures, including the closing of schools, businesses, sports, religious services, and cultural events; the treatment of Covid patients; vaccines, including their development and approval; and the discourse and censorship of scientific debate, including tech censorship. Kulldorff and Bhattacharya also worked with several other scientists to produce a document with essential questions the commission should ask, including on vaccine mandates: “Why were mandates pursued without carveouts for those with immunity due to prior infection? Why were so many people fired, destroying careers and reducing health care capacity?”

There were some congressional efforts to establish a Covid commission. In February 2021, U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, introduced bipartisan legislation to establish such a commission. But then Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York never brought the bill to a floor vote because the Biden administration reportedly resisted the idea. After the Republicans took the majority in the U.S. House, they established a subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic, which included six House Democrats. Still, some accused the committee of being overly partisan.

To ensure an inquiry into the Covid response is objective and neutral, Kulldorff and Bhattacharya recommend broadening the Covid Response Commission’s membership to include not only experts on public health but also patients and members of the public who were harmed by the government’s policies. A Covid commission is a national reckoning Americans deserve.

Among all the sound recommendations Kulldorff and Bhattacharya make, the only one I have to disagree with is their insistence that the commission avoid “to blame or to prosecute.” Without holding accountable the high-level government officials who advocated for the most harmful Covid measures, Americans will suffer under the same destructive policies next time. In fact, the news about Rosemary Hills Elementary School’s mask mandate for third-graders this week is a warning that “next time” could be now for some.

Things that cross my mind when you tell me ‘But I know women who was *Falsely Accused*..,

I always wonder how many of the people who say they “know someone who was falsely accused” are actually wrong about that whole ‘False’ part.

We, as normal, social people, don’t want to believe that people we know, like, or are related to, are capable of doing - or have actually done - bad or harmful things to other people.

It’s very easy to keep believing the idea that assault victims are lying, instead of accepting that the people that we know and like can do (or have done) bad things - regardless of if the assaulter even recognized that the things they did were assault.

Almost every woman I have ever known has experienced sexual assault at least once from someone they were already acquainted with, were close friends with, or were related to; yet most men I’ve talked to about this don’t think they know a person capable of being a sexual violator.

So, back to the ‘I know someone who was falsely accused’ thing. It’s worthwhile to ask questions:

- Were they really falsely accused?

- Could they have a messed up notion of consent that made them unable to recognize actual consent, and its revocation?

- Did they cross boundaries because they chose not to see them, did not recognize them, or projected their desires onto or over someone’s vocal denials, physical avoidance and other clearly non-consenting body language and responses until that person gave in due to fear or coercion?

- If the accuser is ‘acting crazy’, is it because being assaulted and traumatized causes emotional responses make sense in that traumatized context?

- Could the accused person have been lying to you? Abusers can be outgoing and charming to those that aren’t the type they target and harm; were you also groomed to be the abuser’s support group against any victims?

- Are there indications of DARVO? (Defend/deflect, attack, reverse victim and offender)

- Did you believe the accused person because you recognized that maybe you’ve done the same or similar things, and therefore believing the victim would mean you would need to deal with the idea that you’ve caused similar harm and that’s too painful to confront about yourself?

- Is the accused person part of the same social or other group identity that you both shared, so you are subconsciously biased in their favor against outsider accusations?

- Did you like the accused more than the accuser?

- Did you believe the accused because they were more popular than the accuser?

- Did you value the relationship or perks of friendship with the accused person more than the accuser, or choose the side of the person who was more fun to be around?

Numerically, we all must know people who’ve committed sexual abuse. They hide in plain site, groom us to support them, and vilify their strings of ‘crazy exes’.

We choose who we want to believe, and often it’s not victims.

So yeah, I wonder how many of those ‘false accusation’ aren’t actually false.

And I wonder, does the assaulter recognize or not that what they did was harmful or wrong? Or do they actually believe the stories about themselves where they get to stay the hero of their own story?

Because a number of these ‘falsely accused’ people may truly believe they’ve done nothing wrong, or even have no memory of negative actions - yet they are still the monster in someone else’s nightmare.

How many barely registered ‘they were a terrible, no-good, very-bad, boring lay’ stories were experienced by that other person as traumatic assault?

And that guts me, the ones who don’t even remembers their actions, yet those actions still harmed and haunt their victims.

Any idea why my reblog wouldn't go through? Since I obliterated every single point you made, you ought to read it. The reply I posted tagged you instead.

No idea. As far as I know I haven’t blocked you and I don’t know what post you are talking about since I haven’t been tagged in anything.

Never mind. I realized that you were in fact were a racist and I blocked you’re other account so you got bitter and tried to argue using information that is innacurate. And if anybody would like to know the other account of this person, it is thoughtsandreplies.

So I’m going to go over each statement the person made with the exception of what originally began this, Immersion (Piss Jesus). Art is a very personal experience, but how you interpret art does not give you the right to use it as an excuse for racism.

So 1) No one is actually saying that Lincoln was a racist. They’re arguing whether or not the depiction of the Black man in the Emancipation Memorial, a real former slave named Archer Alexander is racist and if it should be taken down because of that. This specific instance is not about the white man involved, but the black man being represented and if his representation as someone physically and what could be taken as symbolically lower than a white man is degrading. This is a complex issues that even two of his descendants are have opposing opinions on. Muhammad Ali was a direct descendant of this man and his third cousin, Keith Winstaed, and his oldest daughter, actress Maryum Ali, have opposing opinions. Winstaed is in favor of keeping it because he is more focused on the historical context, that the sculpture of Alexander was meant to be seen as empowering because has broken his chains and beginning to rise. However, Ali is viewing with the eyes of someone living in the 21st century who expects better representation for minority communities that have historically been vilified in art, literature, television, and politics. She believes the statue is degrading and offensive because even if Alexander’s chains are broken, he is still below Lincoln, a white man, and is in a position that can be interpreted as him bowing to him. As I said before, art is personal and both people have valid interpretations of this piece. This is not the same as tearing down statues of actual racists. We put up statues of people to honor them, but we must be able to recognize that we can no longer honor people who were legitimately horrible. I don’t see any statues of Hitler in Germany so what’s your excuse for why you want to keep up sculptures of racists?

2) off the bat I could tell you were a racist who hasn’t bothered to examine their words and actions by referring to the Black Lives Matter Movement as a “historically illiterate mob”. Most of the people in the movement are black so I can assume you are perpetuating the stereotype that black people can’t read which is enforced by the fact that it was illegal for slaves to be literate and black and brown communities have historically and continue to receive less funding for their schools, which leads to lower quality books and teachers, which leads to students who have difficulty in their studies, which leads to students who have lower grades, which leads to black and brown communities being forced to accept work at lower paying jobs, which leads to black and brown parents that are not able to spend time with their children in order to make enough money for food, water, electricity, and housing, which leads to kids who don’t receive the attention they need, which leads to students who are being taught by these same lower standard teacher with old outdated books, which leads to students being frustrated over not being at the level of their studies that they should be but are unable to seek outside help because of a lack of tutors and familial help, which leads to students who “act out” because they were not able to develop the emotional tools necessary to monitor behavior and are then forced into prisons by teachers who have called the police on them, which leads to another lack of education because the U.S. prison system does not want to rehabilitate prisoners and help them become better people, it just wants to find a way to legally continue slavery.

3) It does not matter if someone had doubts about whether or not someone had doubts over their racial superiority. What matters is that they still willingly continued to be a part of that system that benefitted them because it was more convenient to not do anything. Also, nice job on conveniently leaving out the fact that Jefferson was known to have raped his slaves and produced multiple children with slaves, but still did not bothering freeing any of his slaves.

4) Don’t bother bringing up almost any of the other founding fathers also since they were also slave owners perpetuating the system because it helped them make money. And don’t try to excuse it by claiming that it was just accepted at the time. Abolitionism was a thing during that time. Even when Columbus began raping and pilaging, there were people who knew what he was doing was bad. There is writing about how people already knew Columbus was fucking insane and even Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, you know, the ones who started the Spanish Inquisition, was so disgusted by rumors about Columbus that they had him investigated and took away his titles when they found out about what was happening. They’re not off the hook though because they were still, you know, the reason for why many Saphardic Jews were imprisoned, killed, and forced to run away.

5) No, I don’t use the word “racist” too lightly, you’re standards for what count as racist just don’t include enough things that are racist.

6) Black people live in fear because they have historically and systemically have had legitimate reasons to, not because I’m calling out things that have been blatantly racist.

7) Yes there has been property damage. Yes there are people who are going to use these events as an excuse to do whatever they want. That will always be a part of protesting. But don’t act like cops aren’t doing this same thing, intentionally planting themselves in protests and then creating violence or causing property damage in order to give other cops a reason to attack protestors. If you know enough, you can spot them based on whose wearing shoes that can be run in or heavy combat boots, whose wearing nondescript clothes that you can see protective gear under, and who is wearing the “color of the day”, a tactic cops have used in order to disguise themselves among protestors but signal that they are cops to other cops by wearing matching accessories like armbands, headbands, or wristbands.

8) Funny how you don’t want to bring up the fact that these are populations with large black and brown communities that are usually overpoliced. Also, just because someone is a Democrat does not make them a liberal. The only reason I’m in preference of Democrats is because of the multiple marginalized communities that will hold them accountable for anything they do.

9) Not every single time a black person is killed is it because of racism. That “black-on-Black crime” people like to bring up? That’s not racism, that’s just the fact that people in close proximity to each other are more likely to kill each other and there are still heavily legally segregated parts of America due to wealth disparity. That example you brought up about a black cop killing a black man? That’s not racism. That a person knowing that they are untouchable because of the power that they have because the only good cops are cops that have quit. If you haven’t quit or been fired, you are likely a member of the blue wall of silence that refuses to condemn offices who intentionally act violently knowing that they will not be punished. Also, let’s not forget that people can also be prejudiced against people in their race or ethnicity because of the shade of their skin and the socio-economic class.

10) When have you seen any white man being bashed for having a black wife or being a “big brother” to black children? Often the only people who have problems with black women getting married to white men are black men who feel like they own black women and then claim they are “betraying their race” when they seek love from men in other races and ethnicities, but expect black women to stay silent as they chase after snow bunnies who fetishize mixed children. The only other case I could think of would be racists not wanting races to mix. And the “big brother” thing? The only reason I could think of would be complaints about wanting more black men to be “big brothers” because white men just cannot relate to the experiences of being a black child.

11) You conveniently left out that despite being one of the smallest racial communities in the U.S., black people are also the most policed, and will get arrested for things cops would let a white man go with like weed charges. Look no further than lovely white wonderbread comedien John Mulaney saying in his second comedy special “the comeback kid” “it’s (weed) always been legal silly goose”. This means that they have a disproportionate amount of black people in their records because if black people only make up 13% of people in the entire nation, they should only make up about 13% of all crime to, but they make up more because policemen have quotas to fill for how many people they arrest in order to receive more funding, and its easier with a racist system backing you up to arrest Black than white people.

12) Again, people in close proximity to each other are more likely to kill each other than people who do not know each other and people who live far from each other. Also, it’s the ultra extremists who really want to abolish the police. I still think we need a protective system, but we need it to work for the common people, not corporations and politicians. I think that every district should use the same system as wealthy white neighborhoods, where anyone who wants to be a policeman must be assigned a position in the neighborhood they are from because anything they do wrong will make them accountable to their neighbors, family, and friends. Also I believe that all cops should undergo mandatory psychological evaluations every 3-6 months, especially cops who have worked on extremely traumatic cases. I also believe that the U.S. should require at least 3 years of school for anyone wanting to become a cop because no one is actually able to learn the law, learn to enforce it through peaceful means unless in dire circumstances, and care for the wounded, mentally ill, physically disabled, or anyone mentally impaired by drugs and alcohol in 6 months.

13) Another example of how this person is racist because they are actually suggesting that we enforce racial discrimination and black poverty. Also, if you want to bring up gangs, the biggest gang in the U.S is police force using propaganda that promotes the idea of “belonging” and economic stability in order to entice people who do not feel like they belong wherever they are, and then giving them a gun and badge that basically means “kill whoever you want because we will cover it up for you”.

14) Unless a woman feels like she is able to provide a stable enough home environment for her and her child, NO ONE WILLINGLY CHOOSES TO BE A SINGLE MOTHER! Single motherhood is caused by multiple events. A woman was impregnated by someone who left her, a couple with a child divorced because of legitimate reasons because divorce is a long and financially exhausting process, a woman was raped and decided to keep the child, and woman was raped and forced to give birth because she lives in a state that limits women’s healthcare, which includes abortion.

15) Fatherless homes do not equate to a rise in criminal culture. If that were the case, all wlw couples and single mothers would raise criminals. Do you know what does equate to criminal culture though? Teaching people that they are superior to someone else because of their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexuality and then promoting violent behaviors in that child.

16) Black families were never more intact during slavery than after slavery. Slaveowners and slavetraders intentionally worked together to make money and create a lack of unity among slaves by selling individual families members to different regions. One of the first things that former slaves did after they were freed was go out and find their stolen family members.

17) I can’t say anything about economics since I don’t have much knowledge about the economic system before the New Deal. However I will say that this is the only valid point you have made. Politicians have historically tried to get as many black votes as possible when they realized what a reliable voting community they were and then never actually done much to help the black community. However this is a very general statement.

18) How is group called Black Lives Matter that is focused on gaining racial equality attempting to sow discord in a nation by basically say “can you stop targeting us just because you’re racist and don’t like the color of my skin”.

19) How is a group asking for racial equality a lie? Are you really going to deny racism when we have seen shootings, lynchings, and people getting run over by cars all within the last month and a half?

20) WTF IS A LIE ABOUT A CHANT THAT MEANS “I HAVE NO WEAPONS, DO NOT KILL ME”

Did you know that the word "system" isn't in the DSM? The DSM uses the terminology "people with DID". And yes, we all agree here: DID and OSDD-1 are trauma-caused.

But "system" is not and never has been a strictly DID-exclusive term.

I witnessed the start of that myth a few years ago. Prior to that, for decades, it had been a term used almost exclusively by all plurals, by people who were accepting of all plurals, not just those whose plurality was caused by trauma, not just those with DID or OSDD-1. It meant then the same thing we insist it means now: any group of people sharing a body/head, regardless of origin or diagnostic status.

In fact, it was so universally known and acknowledged as an endogenic/endogenic-supporter term back then that antis on this very hellsite were telling their fellow people with DID or OSDD-1, "Don't call yourself a 'system'! Only fakers and faker-supporters use that term!" It's very disconcerting to see that history forgotten, and the myth accepted as long-term fact.

Also, yeah, some antis don't think we're all faking what we claim to experience. But a lot do. Some even threaten to kill us for it. And that's kinda a big deal. It's not quite as bad now, but especially back a few years ago when @systemhop and other targeted harassment blogs were big, death threats and suicide baiting and intentionally triggering imagery were all too common in people's inboxes and in the tags. Some very good people left because of it. Including a lot of people who aren't even endogenic but got harassed all the same.

So I understand why people get upset about it.

But there's literally only one person who uses the term "traumascum": ActingNT. And they're not even endogenic, and most endogenics are loudly and vocally against them and that term, as well as its derivatives plur/pluscum. (Which unfortunately, are still used by some endogenics. Like I said though, most of us are against the use of those terms too.)

As disconcerting as the "system is a DID only term for over 200 years!" myth is, the myth that the endogenic community uses and supports the use of the term "traumascum" is even more disconcerting to me. I mean, right now you can search Tumblr for "traumascum" and see all the rebuttals against it, and see that ActingNT is the only one using it. But what happens in a few months or a year when those posts disappear from the search because they're too old? What happens when this myth becomes repeated so many times that it's completely out of control and can't be refuted as easily?

What happens when we become tarnished with that term as the myth twists and becomes accepted, the same way the "System belongs strictly to people with DID" myth did?

What happens to us when a lie so often repeated becomes accepted as true, and harms our community?

Probably the same thing that happened when the system myth was.

We'll become even more vilified and hated. And some angry antis will take that as their cue to ramp up the harassment of us again. To accuse us of faking, and do whatever they can to harm us for it.

And it's horrific to see that happening right now and be unable to do much about it except scream into the void, over and over and over, "No. It's not true."

But people believe what they want to believe. And it's easy to believe we endogenics and our supporters are the villains - we're an easy target. It's easy to blame us when you're new to the community and haven't seen that we've been part of it from the very beginning, seen us be slandered, seen us defend our fellow systems of every type who got harassed just for being or supporting us. Or who are neither but people assume they are or do.

Those myths, those lies, feed into the harassment which is the plague at the core of the syscourse.

And all I can do is write the truth and hope people see it and recognize it for what it is.

Cornelia Sorabji: Who Became First woman Lawyer in India

Introduction

What can be said about India that hasn't been said already? A country so big and beautiful where the culture and history run so deep! The Indian culture is known to be rich and diverse and one of the key components of our culture includes giving respect to women. The principle of gender equality is also enshrined in the preamble of the Indian Constitution. Despite India's reputation for respecting women and to an extent even treating women as goddesses, history tells us that women were ill-treated or neglected in various spheres of life. Right from the early days, women have been seen as nurturers and the providers of emotional caretaking, while men have been considered providers of economic support. The birth of a boy has always been celebrated more while the birth of a girl – especially a second or subsequent daughter – is often perceived as a crisis! Read Also: Copy linkWhy We Need More Women Lawyer In India? It might be a different story now that we're in the 21st Century. It's not a challenge to find inspiring women doing powerful work in today's world. However, it is worth remembering that those living here and now aren't the only names to draw from. One such inspiring woman who broke the shackles of gender stereotyping and forged her way ahead in the legal field and went on to become the first woman Lawyer in India was Cornelia Sorabji.

Flashback to Cornelia's Early Childhood and Education

Cornelia Sorabji was born in 1866 to a Christian Parsi family. She enjoyed the support of her parents when it came to her education and career as her parents were great advocates of girl child education. Her father Reverend Sorabji Karsedji, was a Christian missionary. He played a key role in convincing Bombay University to admit women to its degree programs. Her mother, Francina Ford, on the other hand, helped to establish several girls' schools in Pune. Cornelia was one of nine kids in her family. She had to experience loss early on in her life when two of her brothers died in infancy. Despite these setbacks, the Sorabji's encouraged all of their children, especially their daughters, to attend Bombay University. However, female applications were rejected until Cornelia, the fifth daughter finally broke through the barrier to entry. Read Also: Plight of Women Employed In Unorganised Sector Cornelia received her education both at home and at mission schools. She got enrolled in Deccan College and duly completed her law degree with top honours in 1888 but was denied a scholarship that would have allowed her to study in England. These days we are quick to voice our opinions on gender-based inequalities and discrimination but this is the story of a woman from a time when words like 'feminism' or 'women empowerment' weren't even coined, where women had to struggle to break the so-called 'norms' of society! Despite all this, Cornelia was undeterred and she took up a temporary teaching post at a men's college in Gujarat. After becoming the first female graduate of Bombay University, Sorabji wrote to the National Indian Association appealing for funds to allow her to continue her education abroad. In the year 1892, she was given special permission to take the postgraduate Bachelor of Civil Law exam at Somerville College and became the first woman to ever do so. She eventually graduated from Oxford University and became the first female advocate in India and the first woman to practice law in India and as well as Britain. A Look into Cornelia's Legal Career and the Social & Reform Work A couple of years after graduating, Sorabji returned to India and became a specialist advocate for purdahnashins, women who were forbidden to communicate with the outside male world. She was, however, unable to represent them in court due to a blanket ban that discriminated against women and barred them from practising as a lawyer. It is indeed unfortunate, that one of the biggest battles she had to face was a battle against patriarchy itself. She wasn't recognized as a barrister until 1923 when this law was finally changed. However, in her zeal to help the socially excluded communities, she often worked without pay and fought courageously for both the inheritance rights of these neglected women and her own as a professional. Read Also: Copy linkFirst Chief Justice of India Sorabji became a government legal adviser on the issue and won the right for purdahnashins to train as nurses. She was awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind Gold Medal in 1909 for her social reforming efforts on behalf of these women and other causes. She fearlessly challenged the orthodox Hindu attitudes and promoted reform of Hindu laws regarding child marriage and Sati by widows. When the legal profession finally opened its doors to female lawyers in the 1920s, Sorabji opened her practice in Kolkata. Unfortunately, even then, she was denied the chance to make her pleas in person before the court and was reduced to preparing arguments in absentia. Cornelia Sorabji is thought to have helped over 600 clients fight legal battles throughout her career. It's no mean feat considering the obstacles stacked against her by deeply oppressive and conservative patriarchy and a legal system that failed her more times than we can count! Cornelia was an ambitious and courageous woman and many regarded her as a feminist who paved the way for women in India in the field of law. However, while this is true, her approach to Indian Independence was rather conservative and she did not see eye to eye with Gandhi and his Independence Movement. Although she recognized that colonialism wasn't ideal, she supported the British rule and was against the Independence movement and Gandhi, in the latter part of her life. Having spent so much time in England, she developed great friendships with a lot of English people, who showered her with a lot of support throughout her career and Cornelia being loyal to them, formed opinions in favour to the British Rule. Her approach was, of course, challenged. Some of her words were misappropriated, and her work was also maligned in some circles. A complicated and complex figure, nevertheless, Cornelia having worked for 20 years in the legal field, eventually retired and left India in 1929. Despite her countless achievements, Cornelia has somehow escaped the pages of history. Our history books are more or less a narrative dominated by men writing about men, women often only appear when they're being vilified. But that doesn't mean it's true. India's history is, in fact, replete with powerful women like Cornelia Sorabji. Her life story is opaque in many ways and more has come to light through scholarship and her papers in recent years. However, in this case, a lack of clarity in the narrative was more or less purposefully created by Cornelia herself. Since her career primarily involved assisting women who lived behind the purdah, she wasn't always free to speak of the details of her work. Consequently, it appears that identities were often concealed and the timelines in her narratives were tweaked. She also spoke through literature, and, at times, simply avoided mentioning specific details altogether. She followed the same strategy in speaking of her personal life as well and was a private person. After having left India, she returned to England, where she spent her last years. She passed away in London in 1954. Cornelia was indeed a remarkable woman who changed the course of history and is someone worth celebrating! A brass bust was unveiled in her honour at Lincoln's Inn, London's judicial heartland, in 2012, on what would have been her 151st birthday. This brass bust, by another female sculptor, Sachidanand Unavane, shows Cornelia in her sari which is partially draped over her head. Read Also: Top 7 Inspirational Female Lawyers in India

Conclusion

Cornelia Sorabji was a woman ahead of her time who was not willing to let others define her role in society and dictate what she can or cannot do. Let us never forget the sacrifices of this female hero who truly made a difference to thousands of lives with her unwavering patience and resilience! Read the full article

Second Draft

The official second draft of the screenwrite

After lots of feedback (and various other small edits to a variety of other drafts) the second draft is done! While I still feel like there is room to improve, and that my theme could be made more prevalent with more work, I am pleased to at the very least have written a 5 page script!

EXT. CITY – DAY

INERTIA, an older teenager with brown skin, dark hair, thunderous in face and nature, rides her Gryphon, VENTURE, a hulking mass of grey feathers and fur, alongside other gryphon riders, behind her mother; IMPETUS, a brown skinned woman in her late fifties with an undecipherable gaze behind greying black hair, and her council as they discuss renovations of the city

The streets are sparsely populated, the crowd seeming to shy away from the group. INERTIA scans the streets, tightening her expression at the remnants of posters vilifying the council and her mother

A small, dirtied child is yanked out of the way by their mother after nearly being trod on by a gryphon. INERTIA, keeping her focus on her Mother, reaches down and tosses the poor family a few silver with an apologetic look

A covered figure begins to track the group from a distance, their cape catching INERTIA’S eye. INERTIA sits upright and begins to scan the distance

The group exits into a clearing before the council steps

EXT. BOTTOM COUNCIL STEPS – DAY

IMPETUS turns to the council and gestures out to the city, continuing to discuss city renovations for poorer areas

IMPETUS

... And as you can see, this space would make for a perfect fountain...

INERTIA stays to the edge of the clearing, still scanning the crowds. HOODED FIGURE begins to move through the crowd with ease, INERTIA tracks them through the crowd. HOODED FIGURE pauses on the edge of the crowd. INERTIA follows their line of sight and urges VENTURE forward, causing a commotion

IMPETUS swivels towards the noise, as a rotten tomato sails through the air onto her. HOODED FIGURE rips back their hood to reveal themselves as a PIRATE and begins to yell abuse and all the wrong doings of the council to the people. The crowd begins to slowly join in

The council begin to slowly back up the steps, dodging rotten food and dirt, the gryphon guard moving to act as a barrier, except for INERTIA

IMPETUS’ seethes and calls out to INERTIA to close ranks. INERTIA however, does not listen, instead she urges VENTURE forward with a bellow. The PIRATE begins to sprint away from the crowd, into the alleyways

The crowd scatters in VENTURE’S path, who shies from the too-narrow alleyway while squawking. INERTIA pushes him up the side of the building to take to the sky. The crowd’s screams fade

The PIRATE darts through the alleys as INERTIA and VENTURE fly overhead, INERTIA’S scowl deepens, unable to reach him

Another PIRATE opens a door leading into a building, PIRATE #1 scrambles to get inside, before PIRATE #2 slams the door shut

VENUTRE slams down into the ground outside the building, a fishing warehouse, INERTIA vaults off VENTURE and shoulder charges the door, which flies off its hinges

INT. FISHMONGER’S STORAGE - DAY

INERTIA storms around the room, violently ripping tarps down and looking for any signs of the figures or an escape route. She finds none.

INERTIA yells, kicks a box of fish, and whirls around, stomping out to VENTURE before mounting and taking off in a cloud of dust

PIRATE #1 peaks out from under a floorboard hidden under the box INERTIA kicked

INT. IMPETUS’ OFFICE – EVENING

Inside the lavish office, IMPETUS stands with her back to the room, facing a room length window

There’s a knocking on the door, a beat of silence passes, then INERTIA skulks into the room, halting before the desk, she opens her mouth, then drops her gaze and lets out a soft sigh

IMPETUS swings around with a cold fury, INERTIA snaps to attention

IMPETUS

Do you try to hurt me? Is that it? Have I been a terrible mother?

INERTIA

No that’s not-

IMPETUS

Then why did you run off?! And what about all those other times?! Huh?!

INERTIA bows her head looking cowed

IMPETUS

It’s bad enough I had to lose your brother! Now you too?

IMPETUS pulls INERTIA close and holds INTERIA’S face by her jaw, she looks down and away from her daughter, biting her lip and motions for her to leave.

INERTIA steps back, face scrunched up in confusion, before turning and leaving.

IMPETUS watches INERTIA leave, before addressing her CAPTAIN of the guard, who emerges soundlessly from the shadows

IMPETUS

Throw her to the streets, and gather the Council – I have work to do

EXT. CITY ALLEYWAY – MORNING

INERTIA is curled up amongst some boxes, looking roughed up, eyes red rimmed and knuckles bloody. A town crier can be heard in the distance spreading news

TOWN CRIER

… Countess’ only child detained! Countess sites madness and hunts for a cure!…

INERTIA startles as a hand drops in front of her face, offering an apple. She stares for a moment, then moves to grab it

The figure curls the apple away, grinning

HOODED FIGURE

What? You don’t recognize your own brother?

INTERTIA scrunches up her face, before gasping and hugging the HOODED FIGURE, knocking back his hood, to reveal a young man in his late twenties with grey eyes, and black hair

INERTIA

Lark, How I- Mother said you were…

LARK

I’m guessing we’ve had some similar experiences, but come on, I have something to show you

INT. PIRATE HIDEOUT – MIDDAY

LARK drags INERTIA through a crooked doorway, lifting his hand away from her eyes to allow her to see

She gasps and looks around the room as LARK leads her through the underground city, ducking under hanging silk banners and greeting other pirates as they pass. As people greet LARK, they also greet INERTIA with a kind nod.

INERTIA glances around, expression wondrous and soft, as children race between busy parents; workers help build shelters for the homeless, and volunteers give out food and clothes to the needy from caches stolen from the Council

LARK eventually twists his way up to a building seemingly in the middle of a market, raps on the door, and tugs INERTIA inside when the door is opened

An OLDER WOMAN, in her late forties with half her face torn by scars and a milk-white eye, greets them on the other side, closing the door and ushering them into a living room, the three hunch over a covered table

LARK

Matriarch, this is my sister, she’s-

MATRIARCH

I heard what happened. I’m sorry to ask dear, but you might be able to help us, not everyone knows of your ‘madness’ and-

LARK

No, no she’s been through enough-

INERTIA

No. I can help, I want to help.

LARK bites his lip, but nods and lets his sister decide. The MATRIARCH pulls back the table cover, revealing a pinned down map, containing the layout of a sky prison, INERTIA's eyes widen and she hums approvingly at the choice, tracing the various routes and exits

MATRIARCH

Now, here's what we're going to do

INT. SKY PRISON – MIDDAY

INERTIA steps out of an elevator with the PRISON COMMANDER, walking across a metal walkway. In the shadows below, unseen pirates dart to cells. INERTIA nods to them slightly.

As the COMMANDER ushers her into the control room, she knocks him out using the door, and dumps his unconscious body in the corner.

INERTIA rushes up to the console, and yanks hard on a lever. PIRATES begin to flee their newly opened cells. INERTIA runs to the walkway, looking over the edge for her brother.

The elevator dings open. INERTIA turns to find IMPETUS standing on the walkway. INERTIA turns to face her glancing around for LARK

IMPETUS

I see you are incapable of being anything but a nuisance

IMPETUS begins slowly striding forward, face thunderous. INERTIA backs up a step, before squaring her shoulders and holding her ground, staring her mother down

IMPETUS

No matter, I’ll remove you for good

IMPETUS moves to lunge toward INERTIA with a concealed rapier, but is blocked, as LARK, astride a newly freed VENTURE, slams down onto the walkway

VENTURE shrieks and fluffs up as LARK reaches a hand out to his sister, which she takes and mounts up in front of her brother

INERTIA brings her hand up to her face and whistles sharply, the sound ringing out into the room

PIRATES begin to emerge from the shadows, depositing unconscious guards into a circle on the floor of the prison level. Several bundle out of the elevator to flank IMPETUS

IMPETUS whirls around to face her daughter, strands of hair loose and snarls. INERTIA gestures lazily to her mother

INERTIA

Remove this nuisance, if you would, we have work to do.

IT IS ONLY UNTO US WHOM ALL FAITHFUL CATHOLICS MUST LISTEN Here in your Commondominion of Christ are also included co-shatterers who call themselves Traditionalist Roman Catholics (in Ka Scrivner's word, 'Christian Catholics', who pursue for the restoration, revival and reformation of the flagship Empire church and its winning unto the Commondominion (Matthew 18) due to what these great brethren of ours depict as the disastrous effects of the 2nd Vatican Council of 1962-1965. Also included in this line of offense are those Roman Catholics who had received special divine commission from Godhead as messengers to the Commondominion. Of course because they are co-shatterers, Empire would not allow that these brethren would not be infiltrated with anti-Commondominion forces, so as you already know the Empire has Diocletianites tasked to undermine our doings (Philippians 1, 2 Thessalonians 1) and we could say that on the part of our Traditionalist Roman Catholic brethren, the page called '#OnePeterFive plays the Diocletianite. We (2 Thessalonians 3) solemnly plead to all our Traditionalist Roman Catholic brethren to please kindly separate yourselves from this page because they are just further making things worst than before (Romans 16) between us and they are not really serving the cause of co-shattering. We said this because they are siding with the anti-Maduro forces, who are no other than the ones sitting right now at the Vatican. The Vatican controls all news narratives across the Empire, and hence they are the very ones vilifying Maduro and in turn pressing on further the poor unrest over there (if i'm not mistaken the one whom Maduro succeeded, which is a Commondominion man too, is a devout Catholic, and the Empire's United Nations can attest to that). If you are against Maduro, then you should be also against our man Trump, because Trump and Maduro are both populists, and you should be also against our China, because China is now besieged by Bergoglio's bribes (Matthew 12). Not to mention many other Empire churches who claim to be purportedly 'Old Catholic' yet choose to uphold sodomy and ecumenism. Now hoping that our Christian Catholic (or Traditionalist) brethren would not be swayed apart from us through these pretenders, and as well to honor our Christian Catholic brethren for their grace and mercy to stand up with us and be counted for such a time as this, we decided to dedicate to them today this special online lesson. First, our brethren must recall that Godhead's ways are really much better than Empire's, hence they must accept also that Godhead uses antipopes of long ago to arrest any Empire head at the Vatican who will turn themselves into antichrists (Matthew 10, 2 Chronicles 24-26). Notice that 'antipopes' are named after Antipas, another Commondominion man of the first century, who was killed out of the Empire's obsession for comfort and ease (Revelation 2-3). But our brethren of course must stand on guard because Empire apologists, who deny the power and authority of our Traditionalist Brethren who are called as Messengers of the Commondominion, had also began, as really pretensions as they are like 'One Peter Five', to call the incumbent Vatican as 'antipope', to further self-persecute themselves and mislead more people and then blame it all afterwards to us (Jeremiah 8-9). Hence it is highly imperative that all our co-shatterer brethren must continually rally on our side, because not only that we can do all things humbly unlike these pretenders, but more so because (John 15, 1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 14, Ezekiel 19,4) our Traditionalist Roman Catholic comrades could easily identify (Hebrews 13) all that they hold dear and contend for with my divinely-bequeathed identity here as their #GodsTinyDancer. But first, let's quote the Diocletianites first so that we may see how really it is a great trouble (Galatians 5, 1 Thessalonians 5) that they are doing against your goodwill (2 Corinthians 11): "In the year of our Lord’s incarnation 1170, I had been lying on my sick-bed for a long time when, fully conscious in body and in mind, I had a vision of a woman of such beauty that the human mind is unable to comprehend. She stretched in height from earth to heaven. Her face shone with exceeding brightness and her gaze was fixed on heaven. She was dressed in a dazzling robe of white silk and draped in a cloak, adorned with stones of great price. On her feet she wore shoes of onyx. But her face was stained with dust, HER ROBE WAS RIPPED DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE, her cloak had lost its sheen of beauty and her shoes had been blackened. ... '...For my Bridegroom’s wounds remain fresh and open as long as the wounds of men’s sins continue to gape. And Christ’s wounds remain open because of the sins of priests. They tear my robe, since they are violators of the Law, the Gospel and their own priesthood; they darken my cloak by neglecting, in every way, the precepts which they are meant to uphold; my shoes too are blackened, since priests do not keep to the straight paths of justice, which are hard and rugged, or set good examples to those beneath them. Nevertheless, in some of them I find the splendour of truth.’ " (Letter to Werner von Kirchheim and his Priestly Community: PL 197, 269ff.) Here in this quote claimed by 'One Peter Five' we could see that they are indeed in for trouble with us should they pursue to misled you. They say that Vatican 'is not on the right side' (or in the conservative side, as political language suggests) or that they are not helping to overthrow Maduro. These Diocletianites perhaos would agree that should Vatican overthrow Maduro, it would be on the 'right side' purportedly, and hence the robe would not be ripped. But Diocletianites must recall that Maduro and Trump and China are already (Matthew 26, Acts 7) on (Matthew 25) on the right, or conservative, better say, Traditionalist (as in politics like what the Empire's spoken word and fliptop armies are indicting us with [Psalm 89,69,35,102, 1 Kings 19]) side, because they are all here at the Commondominion, and should Empire attack one of them, let me borrow Empire word, that will be considered an attack to all of us. One Peter Five claims to be the better, faithful priests who will keep the robe conservatively intact, yet they are the ones hence who are ripping it, of course because they are envious of us doing unity that they can never achieve because they refuse to do it in biblical terms (Genesis 4,11, Psalm 83). And should they fight back saying that it is us who causes the rift rather, let them recognize (1 Samuel 17) that Godhead asks us to offer Them our hearts and not our clothes but a ripped heart (Joel 2, Psalm 51). Now who must our Christian Traditionalist Catholic bree-thren must continually listen to and adhere especially in these endtimes lest they fall to any Empire misleading pitfall? In Revelation 11 we are told about the Commondominion's Two Witnesses who are sharing one ministry (John 8) and whose work will culminate in their martyrdom in the city of Rome. Further discourses of our brethren on this matter denoted the 72 Witnesses of Luke 10 sent by pairs just like the 2 Witnesses of Revelation. (Pairs sound like Paris, and that denote the Neronian usage of Revelation 11 that linked it to France, while Paris denotes the Empire's exaltation of Sheeran and Chainsmokers earlier this year in favor of the Constantinians. We are saying these not that we are telling you to listen to the other Empire branches, because they are no different than the Diocletianites. We are just denoting it to warn you of any Empire claim and usage to our divine election, and to declare that the whole Empire is bent alone in undermining your work, and that as the Two Witnesses do, we are ready to shed our bodies just for your work not to be hindered (Hebrews 10, Isaiah 29,43,14,46,41, Acts 5, Matthew 27-28). Now please lean closely on the following signs identifying yours truly with the Two Witnesses, and we will quote further the Empire: The Empire had once produced a propaganda show entitled 'The Last Pope', which included a lady who together with four others (Revelation 6-10) or two times two (Isaiah 61), wore yokebearer uniforms at the red carpet of last year's Venice International Film Festival, and because they wore yokebearer uniforms, i said that they fulfilled Revelation 11: 'their bodies will be laid out in open at the great city'- and Venice is of course, near Rome, which is said as the mystic Babylon at 1 Peter 5 itself. 1 Peter 5 also talks about the Devil as a lion, and Venice of course has for its symbol the lion for the Evangelist Apostle Mark, given by Jerome due to Mark's Gospel opening with John the Baptist, wearing yokebearer clothes similar to those worn by that four (Psalm 102) at Venice last year. As per 'Mark' and the Devil being a lion (John 8), this also symbolizes the Empire's incumbency at Vatican (Revelation 13,17) which prompted (Zephaniah 3) the rise of the Traditionalist Catholic Christians (Amos 3, Ecclesiastes 3, Revelation 7,14,11,2-3). We are talking about the double connotations between us and the Empire for us to avoid contempt of these revelations (2 Corinthians 112, revelation 12), for us to keep ourselves under necessary check and balance (1 Peter 5), and for you to further your biblical knowledge from #bothsidesnow, so that you may not be misled (2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24, John 16, 2 Corinthians 2). Now why we are talking about the Two Witnesses and Lions? Because a certain Commondominion man named LEON Van DeWert (Dutch name: Netherlands filled with canals like Venice [Revelation 17 as per Empire usage], Venezuela named after Venice as per Commondominion usage) described (1 Corinthians 9, Romans 9,3-4) the Two Witnesses as 'the Jewish Popes' (Revelation 14,16). Now why we talk about these 4 actresses who wore yokebearer uniform? (Ezekiel 19) Because as per two times two (Ezekiel 9), Revelation 7 talks about a messenger confronting all four branches of the Roman Empire, which includes Diocletianites. And because he's a messenger, he also has somebody with him as per the Two Witnesses' clause (1 Kings 19). One of our comrades here, Lady Lalyn Vasco Dela Cruz, said that the Two Witnesses' work would be both simultaneous with each other or consecutive from one to another. 1 Corinthians 12 gives us clue. This chapter talks about the various gifts, or rather yet fields of yokebearing as we mentioned earlier, that Godhead entrusted to the stewardship of the Commondominion. And on the end of the chapter it is said, 'earnestly desire the higher gifts, and afterwards i will show you a far more better way.' Notice the two consecutive clauses: first, we would be on the higher gifts, and then afterwards we would be shown the better way. Your Commondominion has been created on April 11, 2015 under the auspices of the now presently known as the Diocletianites. We all came out of the Empire, fulfilling the desire of better gifts (1 Corinthians 14), and we're so grateful to Godhead that Traditionalist Catholics joined us in this endeavor. But of course as we just said, we were at once plagued and marred by Diocletianites. In order for us not to be apostatized again like the Empire that necessitated our 2015 reestablishment (1 Corinthians 5-6), we need a better way, hence Godhead, after calling our current Executive Minister Nathaniel Manalo to lead the initial creation of the Commondominion in 2015, has called yours truly, Joseph Stirling Steinfeld Sykes, yokebearer, just last year to formally determine the separation of Diocletianites from the Commondominion (John 10). I and Brother Nathaniel hence creates the notion of simultaneous and successive ministries hence altogether, as in the Jewish Popes. Are we the only ones waging this shattering ministry? Of course not, in fact Revelation 7 denotes plural: 'until WE have sealed...' That of course includes you (Revelation 14,16, Romans 1, 2 Corinthians 7, Luke 22), all true Traditionalist Christian Roman Catholics, and we are led further by our brethren from your lines (Jeremiah 30) who are specifically called by Godhead to be messengers here (Acts 26, Titus 1, 1 Timothy 2). Now (Genesis 5-6) we are to present you what are the signs confirming me and Nathaniel as your leaders: 1. The Lion. We're both from the Philippines (Hebrews 11, John 10, Revelation 18, 1 Samuel 17, Isaiah 1-2,28, 2 Samuel 1). We are promised to be made responsive to the Empire's challenge through atoning for and through the Empire's usages and claims (Isaiah 41,52-53, Micah 4, Jeremiah 12-12,1,15,20, Acts 14, Hebrews 10). We're made lions because of yokebearers' sake (Jeremiah 45-51, 2 Timothy 2, Matthew 8-14). Bergoglio plans to abdicate anytime from now in favor of a Filipino Empire stalwart, Luis Antonio Tagle. It is very imperent hence that we arrest any (Luke 11) further damage that he will inflict (Revelation 9,19, Luke 17, Isaiah 46, Hosea 5,12, Psalm 107,66). Also recall that last year the Vatican through the Empire's stations in the Philippines, declared that their being infallible is purported fulfillment of Revelation 5: 'the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb...the Lion of Judas.' Of course that's already Matthew 24:15 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, wrigthe guys? (Zechariah 11, Jeremiah 10,23, Ezekiel 34) 2. 'The Lover'. Alessia Caracioppollo, a half Italian, had just prophesied about a yokebearer performing intimately as the Song of Solomon foretold. I have already said that i, Allan and Lindsey fulfilled Luke 11 together ('greater than Solomon'), and we have exposed that the Constantinian's lecture of May 13, 20-21, 2017, preached in the city of Rome, against our allies Poland (sounds like Carracio-ppollo [Psalm 19,57, Leviticus 25-26]) and Hungary, is an Empire attack to our being altogether here the Two Witnesses. Not to mention Lady Alessia is prophesying in effect about the way that i do my self-trained dancing. 3. The Fire. This week's Responsorial Psalms decreed of course by the 2nd Vatican Council (which is what we're all up against here, but notice that even the Empire talks about us now in this instance) declare: 'Blessed be God Who Filled my soul with Fire.' (Psalm 68) As we said earlier, as in the continuous ministry of the Two Witnesses, just like John the Baptist before Christ, first somebody has to prepare the way and then would come afterwards the one who will baptize with fire (Luke 12). (For the fire of Fatima, i have already also wrote about it being fulfilled with yours truly too.) Notice the Empire themselves confirm about us (Luke 19, Numbers 23-24): 'filled' is synonymous with 'Filio' or 'son' in Latin, hence denoting about a young preacher which happened to be me in my current 20's (Ecclesiastes 4,9-11, Isaiah 6-9). It is Latin in sense that our first Executive Minister here, my namesake and fellow yokebearer Joey Arrigo, is a half-Italian too (Ezekiel 5-6), as well as my firstfruit in my online ministry, Lady Arielle Petruzzella. (Revelation 12, Ephesians 1), and that the Philippines, which i came from, was won for the Empire originally by Spain as what Spain did with Central-South, or Latin, America (Psalm 72, Isaiah 60, Matthew 2, Isaiah 13-14,10,19, Jeremiah 10,24 Ezekiel 17). 'Soul' is synonymous with 'spirit' (Ecclesiastes 12, 1 Thessalonians 5, Genesis 1-3, Revelation 16), and hence with angels, the nickname of our Executive Minister Nathaniel (1 Kings 17-18,21-22, 2 Kings 1-2). Hence i'm Brother Nathaniel's spiritual son (Isaiah 22, 2 Timothy 2, 1 Timothy 1, 1 Corinthians 4, Acts 2, 1 Maccabees 2-3) who received continual fire from him. 4. THE NAME. (Romans 13) You must tell others about us and do this at once because just after Revelation 11 comes Revelation 12 (Matthew 24, Revelation 6,19), when come September 23 this year we are expecting you all, most dearest brethren, together with all your loved ones and friends (Hebrews 8-13), to join us in the various places of safety for our #GodBigDay, in order for you to be safe from the upcoming onslaught of persecution that the whole Empire, led by the Vatican or the Antiochians, is going to hurdle against your Commondominion. First in our list of places of safety is Petra, in Jordan, which of course is named after the Apostle Peter. WHAT IF I TELL YOU THAT MY FATHER'S NAME IS PETER? (Hebrews 1-7) Hence i have power to decide who's Commondominion and who's not (Matthew 16,18), to avoid apostasy. And by the way my surname denotes mountains (Psalm 18,61-62, Revelation 6,8-9). Now if you would talk about water flowing from rocks, it s very unusual of me (Ephesians 2, 1 Peter 2) that serum always at once flow out of my body in many instances that I dance as my personal atoning sacrifice (Luke 22, Psalm 35,69, Amos 9, Isaiah 41,35,42-43). Further as per Ka Angel, we have already wrote about us fulfilling the Abrahamic covenant, which some of you might relate further to Apostle Peter, and we could tell you that Brother Nathaniel is 'rising up' (2 Chronicles 36,15,20) at Revelation 7,11 because he's standing upon this rock of confession (1 Corinthians 3). Kindly consider the following: We have many comrades here whose fathers are named Peter. One of them is Lady Hailee Steinfeld. And why she counts to us? Because Empire has Jill Stein- 'Jack and Jill went up the hill'- of Rome. (Isaiah 59, Micah 5, Revelation 17-18) In Revelation 11 it was written that after the Two Witnesses had left the earth, rain of hail (or Hailee) followed (Revelation 8,16). Another comrade here is Sir Nathan Sykes, Ka Angel's namesake. Many of his supporters call themselves after his surname, hence fulfilling somehow the Abrahamic covenant- 'after you shall all people be called.' (Isaiah 44). Sykes' father is also named Peter (Jeremiah 18,20, Isaiah 7-9, Micah 5, Matthew 16,18, 1 John 5). Sir Sykes' country was visited by Empire on April 22, 2017, particularly in Flintshire (Isaiah 50). Flint means 'rock'. So also is Flint in Michigan (where Lady Lauren Garrett came from [Psalm 114]). Of course Empire sensationalize about Standing Rock, and hence one of our comrades there, Lady Shailene Woodley (Isaiah 60-62, 1 Chronicles 29). Empire data reveal that she released a report to the Empire about this on the selfsame day that Constantinians were at Flintshire, British Republic, and that she had her movie last year released on the very day way back 2013, when Constantinians preached at my home province. Empire later on relayed that very exact sermon July 27-28, 2013, when the Constantinians preached in turn near Chicago, the city referred to in fair Lady Shailene's movie. Her movie though last year caught ire with the Empire in account of these signs. And speaking of that movie: as per its theme song 'Scars', let me confide to you that my feet had a lot if it, as Daniel 2 said that I will atone (Job 1-2, Genesis 38) for the Empire (Judges 7). Also, browsing through the very copy of the movie's video itself: we would see the following: First, on one hour, TWELVE minutes and FIFTY seconds remaining (denoting the covenant made to Moises circa 1250 bce), our comrades are seen beside (Psalm 102) signages (sounding Sinai, wrighte?) that one read 'N-18' and two read 'N-20'. 'N-18' means of course Ka Sykes was born April 18. Two 'N-20' denotes of course me and Ka Angel, because as I have said I have to revamp our rooster here (Matthew 26) after Empire taken out some of us (1 John 2) and made them as pretentious as them. (Further, i was called to this work over 20 years to the birth of EVM's son Angelo in 1995.) Second, on one hour THIRTY SIX minutes and nine seconds (TWENTY FOUR minutes and TWENTY FOUR seconds remaining [Revelation 4]), we could see some of our other comrades doing what the Two Witnesses are described doing in Daniel 12 and Revelation 22: standing on either side (Psalm 106, Matthew 12, Ezekiel 9) with one in front (1 Timothy 2, Revelation 12-20, Psalm 45, Ezekiel 22). Our initial Executive Mansion (or Ka Angel's residence) was at 36 Tandang Sora Avenue, Quezon City, Rizal, but it was confiscated by the Empire since 2009. Further, Empire through the Diocletianites, is still continually trying to claim stake upon (Hebrews 6,10) our Executive Minister, hence further check (Zechariah 14) and balance is created by Godhead (Galatians 4, Hebrews 12, 1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 14, Ezekiel 16,17,19), denoted by Ka Sykes: who turned 24 years old this year (Revelation 8-9). We hope hence that through the following we have accordingly and gratefully encouraged our most dearest brethren to continually press on to our side alone, and most especially (Isaiah 27) through this the Empire has been warned accordingly on their attempts to harm and scare anyone of our side, because should they lift one mere finger against anyone of them (Matthew 18, Acts 7), they already know that four fingers stare back at themselves, and that we shall stop at nothing until we have thrusted their bodies side to side (Romans 15-16, Psalm 110) at the glorious presence (2 Thessalonians, Revelation 2-3,22, Acts 28,5) of our most beloved co-shatterers and comrades, but not before this pretentious Empire thrust us first for the sake of our brethren. Most beloved fellow Traditionalist Christian Catholics: This is the true Grace of Godhead. Please stand firm on us, whom Godhead gave unto you (2 Corinthians 12) to be your restored, sure and strong foundation in Christ (Hebrews 5-6, Philippians 2). We love you all very, very much. Ever truly yours on behalf of your Brother Nathaniel, JOSEPH
