Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: New Claims by BL) Uploaded to YT on 08/01/2025

I am only one organic (no implants, chips, cameras, recording devices or chest-bursting aliens) entity expressing one viewpoint. Before the events that began with the very odd PR of that now deeply ironically titled film, IEWU, I enjoyed films with appearances of BL and RR. I have not been a customer of any of their other products and services so I have no opinions on their efficacy or quality. My current intent is to NOT watch, buy tickets or purchase products with ownership of or endorsement by either  BL or RR. I apologize to their employees, but this is my opinion. I formed that opinion when I first learned about the subpoenas regarding the content creators.  In case any "legal observers" 😉  are watching, this is a link to The American Bar Association's "Model Rules of Professional Conduct: Preamble & Scope." Along with brushing up on the U.S. Constitution (I recommend: The Constitution Explained by David L. Hudson, Jr. J.D.), this link may also be helpful (NOTE: pay special attention to Model Rules points 5 and 9).  https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibility/publications/model_rules_of_professional_conduct/model_rules_of_professional_conduct_preamble_scope/

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Interview with @SpiritualShift) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/01/2025

Extremely interesting followup with @SpiritualShift. Her advice for others going pro se to keep any contact with this legal firm via email is wise. With no recording of the meeting @SpiritualShift was right as should there be issues resulting from an unrecorded Zoom meeting it would come down to the word of 2 employees present against a sole content creator. Maybe I misunderstood what was said, but was the link that the legal firm referenced in their email to @SpiritualShift (spoken about@26:50 in this video) as being sent to Google only. WHAT ABOUT twitter? Does that mean twitter was NOT contacted? Admittedly this is the law firm that also told @SpiritualShift that it considers no information from content creators as actual information that is considered by this legal firm to be sufficient information to withdraw the subpoenas? THIS IS WILD.  Please have a great vacation in Norway with family.

Nate, I do not know you beyond this channel but pain was quite evident in your voice. Noting the (as of this post) over 2600 comments to this video, people have OPINIONS. In trying to make sense of the chaos, some people may have a conflated these 2 circumstances: (1) an entertainment reporter who reviews a film before seeing it and (2) a legal channel creator's comments based solely on legal documents as filed by one side who represents the plaintiff or by the other side who represents the defendant. One is bad. One is good😜. However if an "edited" Owens doc is going to be submitted as evidence to the court in this civil case, we (I haven't seen it either) might have to at least FF through it to be up to speed...pun intended. I still find the whole underage thing somewhat sus, but those details are well-known in France. Those facts are not what is being adjudicated. Perhaps it is my conspiracy-ridden brain, but I sense (no not "a disturbance in the force"), but smoke and mirrors PR from all involved parties to this case.

ALLEGEDLY ('cause this group will sue anyone that uploads or posts their opinions) Number 3 Ahab clone is a certain legal firm with scant familiarity with the U.S. Constitution. While clones 1 and 2, ALLEGEDLY, are living in their own reality decorated with smoke and mirrors matched with zero understanding of how the internet in general or social media specifically works.

Posted to Kassidy O'Connell (RE: Latest communication pro se to Judge Limon) Uploaded 08/01/2025

This was a very comprehensive, well-researched and well-written letter. While I cannot see any reason for changes in this letter, judges can be finicky. Their reply of "DENIED" is often a way of indicating they want the next submission to tell it better and/or tell it with more precedents. Usually on pro se the court will give the filer more latitude. The court appreciates the filer showing respect for the process (no matter how you feel internally). Keep researching, keep all receipts & records while still caring for yourself. Keep communication with the court open and polite (which has been done). I look at legal plea writing as a covert game of submersing your inner emotions underneath the coverage of facts, logic, legal pleadings and citing relevant precedents. You are fantastic. All the content creators who are also fighting for free speech for us all... are fantastic. THANK YOU!

Posted to Law Offices of Andrew D. Myers (RE: KR property not being returned) Uploaded 08/02/2025

After watching the excellent interrogation of Adam Lally by defense attorney Rosemary C. Scapicchio, hearing the way the DA's (of Norfolk County) office is run or actually how it is NOT run, this non-return of property is of zero surprise. I agree with Andrew Myers in that beyond plain spite and incompetence is that the damage done by MSP to the Lexus may be even more extensive than mentioned in trial. Holding the car due to the upcoming civil suit, is NOT a legal option as far as I know. KR's original confiscated phone is likely mixed within a pile of other iPhones...somewhere? As for the other 2 phones confiscated in 2024 regarding the Aidan Kearney (aka Doctor Turtleboy) case, IMO those 2 cell phones have deliberately been withheld as these 2 cell phones were confiscated under a subpoena based on Kearney's case.  MSP does not wish to return even Kearney's own tech to Kearney after over one year.  BTW "WITDRAW" really?!   That word was in large font, bolded and easily identified as spelling challenged. Yes, all the WIT (and critical thinking) has been withdrawn, or perhaps re-homed?

Posted to Molly McPherson (RE:Week of Justins (Trudeau, Timberlake, Baldoni and Texas) 08/02/2025

When the Head of Texas Emergency Management is out, this equates to there being zero management in place for an emergency? No plans in place? No backup? No assistant manager? No administrative assistant to call the person in charge to get his *** back to the office or for the police to find him? The entire office was empty that day?  PSA: If the word "Emergency" or "Crisis" is in the job title, then do not take that position if you are fond of marathon naps. Weather was the enabler in this tragedy, but those in positions of power were the perpetrators. They demonstrated incompetence, apathy and indifference. Any effective PR spin should be a detailed, time-sensitive, coordinated plan to prepare ahead of the next weather-related event. Unless the State of Texas plans on building a weatherproof dome over their state, they have to contend with the reality that blizzards, droughts, floods and tornadoes, do indeed happen.

Posted to Dave Neal (RE: Rush Hour - BL deposition) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/02/2025

Dave Neal is right, depending on their channel's focus, content creators are actual journalists, not "talking heads".  I am not seeing too many people at MSM with the tenacity, passion for the truth and abilities to understand and explain complex news stories. However I see that level of reporting on a daily basis on new media, like You Tube. MSM outlets are quickly losing relevancy, the will to publish unpopular pieces or even do the work as in research and fact checking. This PR disaster helmed by BL, RR and attorneys (who seemed to have skipped the course on Constitutional Law) will  probably hasten the descent of MSM. MSM, as the dinosaurs of long ago, got too big, too dependent on large quantities of sustenance and could not adapt to the new world...allegedly.😉

Posted to Dave Neal (RE: Rush Hour) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/05/2025 

This mess most likely began as a misunderstanding about weight, alone time for baby care and a lack of professionalism on all sides. Then came the subpoenas to social media content creators/journalists by BL's attorney. At that point I lost impartiality. As Dave Neal says, during discovery perhaps something will emerge to change minds. For now, the most advantageous action would involve a settlement not court. While Baldoni has a good chance to win the battle of this civil suit, the war will damage all sides. There is even collateral damage with BL's legal representation is taking "hits" for "hitting" the U.S. Constitution. While Judge Limon's judicial impartiality doesn't appear to be faring too well either. My hope is that everyone involved will come to their senses to settle this case with the requisite ream of NDAs. And you get an NDA, and you get an NDA and....😜      

BTW: I come to this channel, to hear Dave Neal's impartial discourse along with his general and self-deprecating humor.💗

Posted to Astrology with Janessa (RE: August 4 chart) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/05/2025

Fascinating that there are so many factors which need to be considered, applied and shown in detail for a complete chart in astrology. I am generally a person who found it interesting to find traits applied to my sun sign which I have now learned is my "natal" sign. I had no idea how complex this subject could be. I appreciate that Janessa does a summary in the video's conclusion for those of us unfamiliar with the terminology. The subpoena tactic initiated my negative feelings for BL and her team. I still find it astounding regarding their seeming ignorance of how social media works along with human rights as listed in the U.S. Constitution. It is a devastating example of how ineptly BL, RR and their team process the reality that most of us take for granted. 

Posted to Growing Up In Scientology (RE: Ana de Armas Dating Tom Cruise) Uploaded 08/05/2025

While I only "know" Ana de Armas from movies and a few interviews, I am surprised. She is 37, not isolated from society and has access to the internet (well at least she used to). Before her film career, I believe her parents kept her somewhat sheltered. However as an adult, Ana de Armas does not appear to be naive or unworldly.  Only speculation, but maybe this relationship is more of a "quid pro quo" than typical dating. Obviously being linked to Tom Cruise, even if temporary, could prove to be beneficial for her career in the entertainment industry. While Ana de Armas may be joining this cult, assuming no children result from this relationship plus she keeps her finances separate, she could still leave (albeit it quietly) at her own discretion.

Posted to Ashley Briana Eve (RE: Deposition who leaked Justin's presence) Uploaded 08/02/2025

Not fond of the word "nemesis" being used as clickbait by MSM. It sounds hyperbolic, something that would be seen more frequently in bad spy novels. It certainly is not instructive or helpful.  If that word is to be used, I would choose its plural format, "nemeses". This would be the title of the category listing all entities who enable BL to spiral without presenting her with truth and sense. I am a little surprised that anyone on Baldoni's team would call with that info, especially with BL's attorney issuing subpoenas like discount coupons. Maybe a lower level "friend" of Wayfarer communicated to TMZ to arrive (with equipment specifically for long distance imagery) at the deposition location at a particular time to watch for a particular person? OR have I read too many bad spy novels?🤣

Posted to Growing Up In Scientology (RE: Court Cases and missing cult members) 08/05/2025

Along with never being in a cult, I am also not an attorney. Hence my confusion regarding how this cult seems to perpetually sidestep the law. In a certain clergy scandal of the early 2000's, people were arrested and prosecuted. The court LOVES precedents. Wouldn't those prosecutions involving a religion somehow have set a precedent for pursuing criminals no matter where they hide? As for a religious contract, anyone who routinely goes to a church with regular participation in any ceremonies specific to that church could be construed as being in a "contract" with that religion. It confuses me that Scientology can hide in the secular area of a legal business contract while yet claiming to be a religion impervious to criminal indictments or civil law suits.

Posted to Dave Neal (RE: Rush Hour) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/05/2025

I never thought that the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad was promoting eugenics, That ad's algorithm is practically ancient. Put a young attractive popular celebrity in jeans along with a hook (such as a play on words:genes/jeans), produce the buzz and deposit the cash. If you want to go with the genes/jeans hook, hire 3 women (including Sydney Sweeney) for a series-type campaign. Perhaps, "Good genes (& jeans) can also result in...." Hire someone from STEM  (such as Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, immunologist/professor) or sports (such as a chess master, Judit Polgár) or a director (such as Chloé Zhao). I found these names doing a very brief search of 10 minutes. Condemn the ad company and their corporate customer for a lack of imagination and inclusion, but not for a dastardly plot to develop a real life Khan Noonien Singh (a character in Star Trek - classic series, plus 2 movies). Ugh, the internet gives me a headache. How does Dave Neal read/listen to it daily and stay sane...and funny?

Posted to LTL Media COMMUNITY PAGE (RE: Myles King Evidentiary Hearing) 08/05/2025

Thought experiment for Judge Peter Krupp. Reverse the roles in this evidentiary hearing. Now assume that the defense did not turn over a single page/piece of evidence to the prosecution as detailed in Rule 14 of the legal system of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Imagine what trouble that defense counsel/team would be in at that point. With all due respect Judge Krupp, please clarify as to why the prosecution is not being sanctioned for numerous Rule 14 failures? This isn't a criminal cabal or complicated conspiracy, this is far worse. Norfolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seemingly the epicenter in Massachusetts of (supposedly) trained professionals who forgot their oaths, to protect and serve while maintaining ethics and adherence to the law of the Commonwealth and the U.S. Constitution.

Posted to antphrodite (RE: Sydney Sweeney Jeans Ad) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/06/2025

Originally I had thought that the ad company and their client, American Eagle was stealing themes from that VERY old Brooke Shields jeans ad. I was astounded when I heard the wild reactions referencing eugenics.I am definitely not in that corporation's demo. I buy most of my clothes from thrift shops and recycle online sites. The result is that my clothing comes from a variety of brands. That none of my jeans are American Eagle is simply because I never ran into that brand where/when I shopped. I would suggest that ant do a reading on why everyone is so combative, tribal, scared and losing touch with reality, but I have a "feeling" the reading will be depressing. I am not outraged about this ad campaign. However it does make me sad to think about what ant read about the even worse copies to come of this Sydney Sweeney ad which appears to be a copy of that Brooke Shields commercial. Along with critical thinking, creativity seems to be a quickly disappearing trait.😥

Posted to notactuallygolden (RE: Perez Hilton and BL subpoenas) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/16/2025

I do agree with other comments made to this video in that Perez Hilton is a journalist. While he may not fit into the "Spotlight" mode (a 2015 film regarding MSM reporting very very bad acts) of journalism, he is still deserves that title. He reports on pop culture and celebrity news often with a satirical spin. What BL has done is conflate the video content of New Media (YT and others) who report and react to news, with an organized, deliberate and planned conspiracy of evil doers (sorry went a little James Bond there😉).  As someone in PR said way back when this began, "this reaction is organic". Seemingly every action taken by BL and her team, makes reputations and public perceptions of their side worse. The Streisand Effect, may not be codified in any law book, but it is an excellent concept to describe what is going on...that along with a lack of knowledge of another non-legal concept called, Pyrrhic victory.

Posted to notactuallygolden (RE: Summary Judgements in general) Uploaded to YT on 08/06/2025

Another thank you for that clarification (aka lesson). I had wondered why Wayfarer had not yet filed summary judgement.  Perhaps as was suggested in this video, Wayfarer's waiting to file is a strategic decision. As irritating and frustrating as it is to all of us (interested non-parties), I accept that Wayfarer is out for as much discovery as possible. It is unfortunate that content creators/journalists appear to be the collateral damage, via strategies, of both sides. As I have been told, this is the practice of law. While compassion and ethics may be included, but they are not mandated.  

Posted to Kenz (RE: Summary of how BL issues began with promotional movie tour) 08/06/2025

Thank you for continuing to report on this subject. This video was a teachable moment for those who are open to learning. YES, Kenz IS a reporter, commentator, and analyst of NEWS. Until the subpoenas dropped, this mess was off my radar with only the background noise of celebrity squabbles. I have quite recently formed an opinion. Guess what,  it is an organic one. I have no idea what actually happened on the movie set of IEWU. However, BL's promotional tour for this movie was somewhat confusing and off-key for a DV-themed movie. I have given up on BL or RR having a sudden epiphany of sense. My question now is, what is going on at this formerly (allegedly) reputable law firm? Attorneys have a legal obligation to fairly and effectively represent their clients. That fair and effective representation should include a dose of reality for the client, as in "No, in my legal opinion, that is not a good idea." Again thanks to Kenz for what she does and what she is representing.

Aside from winning at MAGA bingo,  there are some less favorable events such financial losses in Candace Owens' future. However look at the savings: (1) be invited to all (at least for the next 3 1/2 years) White House holiday parties, (2) expand her brand with little or no PR expenditures and (3) remind all future Candace Owens wannabes to give their wacky opinions BUT first remember to read the fine print of life (as in not accusing a public figure of committing major crimes such as forgery and redrum).

Posted to Ashley Briana Eve (RE: BL Situation) Uploaded to YT 08/07/2025

Ashley is on point. BL worst enemy is herself. She obviously has not heard of that pop culture truism. "The Streisand Effect". As for a friend pulling BL aside for a sanity intervention, that ship probably sailed with Taylor Swift. I believe that Robin Lively accompanied her sister BL to the deposition. Since she is family, there may not be salvation there. Attorneys are pledged (American Bar Association) to vigorously and effectively represent their client. However there is also mention of being honest with one's client. This firm should have a discussion with BL on the concept of a "Pyrrhic victory". May not be law, but is also accurate.

When it comes to any kind of regulation regarding tech I would like to recommend that at least 2/3 of the membership of any search/investigative committee should be UNDER the age of 18. Ideally the adults in the remaining 1/3 of the group should at least know their bits from their bytes (8 bits = 1 byte). Naturally cybersecurity expertise would be a plus. As for TEA app owner, Sean Cook, his age is approximately 31 as of this comment. At that age he had to have been exposed to the internet since childhood. Which makes me wonder, how such an egregious error occurred on his watch.  

Posted to Defense Diaries (RE: Attorney for Richard Allen - Delphi Murders) Uploaded 08/07/2025

There is a judge with blatant bias. LE who protect their own rather than others.  LE without the skills or the ethics to do a proper investigation. Prosecution is seemingly 100% championed by the presiding judge. Rather sus prosecution witnesses are permitted to testify. Defense was denied access to evidence and the ability to have some expert witnesses testify. There was a jury who did not seem to understand the concepts of "innocent until proven guilty" and "reasonable doubt".  Last but not least, a defendant was presumed guilty while being treated unprofessionally by LE. Obviously serious problems with DAs and police performance is not just happening in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Whether the defendant is factually innocent or guilty, this misconduct by LE and DAs could happen to anyone that those in power feel is "not one of us".

There is an apathetic miasma  seemingly affecting people/corporations in positions of power, shown by a "who cares" mode of behavior. Seems very tribal (like prehistoric humanity...and twitter). If Uber Eats is listening/reading, VERY VERY BAD PR is VERY VERY BAD for profitability and investor confidence.

I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. It was pleasant to get away from that new reality show that no one asked for, "Celebrities and Their Attorneys Behaving Badly". Mary Beth is correct, THANK YOU Kjersti Flaa for on point analysis. I do use less makeup than I did in my twenties, partially due to aging skin. Also I have learned that less product and product that has more versatility and quality is better than a drawer full of makeup. The concept of using AI-created models sounds almost dystopian. I realize that many (living) models are not exactly in line with the average person, but the idea of someone tweaking an avatar's shape, face or coloring to sell/promote clothing is scary. I do not trust corporations to protect us. Their goal is sales and profits, not too many for profits indicate an interest in their customers' mental health or self-esteem.

This video is one of the best documentaries I have seen in a very long time. The closing dedication to "the men and women of law enforcement who serve with honor" touched me deeply. Evil sounds like a theatrical term for super-villains. I have come to realize that in our reality when incompetence, apathy, power misused, lies and a lack of conscience is grouped together, the net result IS evil. THANK YOU to all New Media such as Aidan Kearney (Doctor Turtleboy), Microdots, all those content creators who did the reporting, research, analysis and commentary that seemingly MSM is no longer fit to accomplish. Most of all I both THANK, and am astonished at, the intelligence, courage and compassion of Karen Read, her family and her defense team. You are all my heroes.

I appreciate these "lessons" from Ashley in PR explaining the WHY, the WHO and the HOW of it all. While donating to a hospital, reviving a sports team or joking with a famous BFF who also happens to play another very popular superhero, is all well and good. This does not alter my negative opinion regarding what BL and RR have authorized attorneys to do. I used to find the Deadpool movies/character hilarious. While not exactly Meryl Streep, Blake Lively had talent, presence and charisma. I have decided to withhold any support in terms of money or time on all products made, endorsed or produced by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. At the moment I just can't separate the art from the artist.

As others have commented, it seems to be highly difficult to build an escape proof goat fence. The best you can do is create a goat enclosure that takes the resident escape artists extensive time to figure out or to wear down. As soon will be wildly obvious, I have zero expertise on goat behavior. What about some sort of playground area where the goats can climb (but not use as a catapult to freedom), knock things over, push things around, chase after things and even periodically destroy those things? Probably a rotating group of activities/goat-safe toys would be best to avoid goat boredom which as was mentioned always leads to goat malfeasance. What I am describing is basically a "Club Fed" for goats.

There is/was a certain woman on TikTok who insisted "the cards" told her the redrum of those 4 Idaho students was not the accused and convicted person (BK), but a professor at the students' university. Obviously this TikTok individual has some internal chaos going on matched with the legal chaos of losing a pro se defamation suit filed by the professor via her attorney. Wonder if DSM-5-TR has (if not it should have) a chapter devoted to this type of obsession, distorted reality matched with a tendency towards grifting. Perhaps it is filed under "Delusions Disorder with Online Affect"? LOVE a reading on why this type of behavior seems to be appearing more frequently.

This is one of my new favorite channels. I learn, I laugh and yes sometimes I groan. I am not sure if it was on this channel, but it was mentioned as a "challenge" to say something good about BL. We may have one. BL is excellent at memorizing a script based on hypothetical deposition questions prepared by BL's attorneys and answers prepared by BL's (or RR's) PR.  YES I am human, almost 100% organic (well except for 2 teeth superglued into my jaw via a DDS & lots of insurance).

While Perez's style of reporting is not something I enjoy, he is still a journalist. He is (and has been for years)  well-known for a satirical, snarky and easy way to absorb entertainment news or rumors. Disliking his reporting is one thing, but exposing his children to being in a public filing is despicable. I would also imagine illegal (not a lawyer here). For that matter doxxing any one is dangerous, unethical and beneath contempt. Why Judge Limon has permitted this behavior, who knows? The unfortunate reality is that this judge appears to be a real stickler for strict legal language, letter formatting/filing while not considering Pro Se as a legal right. I know it is expensive, but I would advise PH to either hire an attorney, consult an attorney/friend or spend a week with Chat GPT on legal communications and filings. However caveat emptor, ChatGPT has been known to get it wrong so double check details using another source.  BTW ZERO tolerance for drama is the way to go (and having good mods is good also).

Spidey gave an excellent presentation regarding the need for all of us to be careful in believing assumptions made regarding video that is edited. I totally agree that PP in his "touching and touches" (in the instances shown) were not unwelcome, unwanted or threatening. Now should this be a routine way of all of us meeting strangers or co-workers, NO. I think that in spite of his fame, Pedro Pascal is a nervous individual looking for someone to center him. I consider him to be an intelligent man who will listen to those he trusts. I am sure he has "people" who will privately warn him should his next costar not appreciate all those hugs.

The item I could see myself purchasing were the Uniqlo/Nana tee shirts. I prefer slightly loose tee shirts. I style them layered over a fitted light weight or sheer long sleeve tee shirt along with fitted jeans and boots. On the U.S. Uniqlo site, there were also (not special editions) tee shirts in "mini" (appeared to be more fitted) and the "cropped" (usual short length) category. Maybe try both types on a future, "Instagram Made Me Buy It" ? As for the products from the edible or makeup category, I usually avoid those unless I get lots of friend recommends. I too have a sensitive stomach and sensitive skin, so for peace of mind I try to avoid being in the "beta" (aka no recommends) group.😉

In the opinion of an observer (aka me) who is not even attorney-adjacent, Stephanie Jones's handover of texts via the Vanzan "subpoena" could be tossed if part of a criminal case due to "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine. Does this also apply in civil case and are there precedents? IMO Judge Limon appears to be a strict interpreter in regards to all pleas, precedents, laws and legal language...allegedly (I sprinkle that word in most of my comments on legal matters as apparently people sue for hurt feelings). Probably only a few months ago (pre-subpoena-gate) a writer from Variety wrote that the Lively and Baldoni lawsuits along with the eventual depositions and possible trial, was essentially mutually assured destruction. Must be like yelling into the void, as obviously none of these celebrities listened.

Hopefully someone from BL's legal team will see this video and have an epiphany,  "the only way to win is not to play"...spoken by an AI in WarGames which is a movie made 4 years before BL's birth.

THANK YOU to Kenz for these updates. In civil suits the plaintiff (that would be BL) has the obligation to prove that the defendant(s) [such as JB and/or JW] committed the offenses as listed in the plaintiff's filing. Usually the plaintiff (aka apparently anyone not BL...allegedly) needs to have those details plus the receipts BEFORE the subpoenas and BEFORE the deposition. In order words, you can't sue for your hurt feelings, an imagined smear campaigns and your swiftly (I think pun is intended 🤣) sinking popularity score...allegedly. I add the word "allegedly" to my comments about this case as it is only a matter of time before subscriber comments come under fire of that big, bad and unconstitutional subpoena machine.

As disturbing as this predator's ("the director") behavior was, having everyone in that meeting shrug it off as no big deal then try to bury the knowledge and forget the victim made it so much worse. Years ago at an entertainment industry party in front of witnesses Brendan Fraser was inappropriately touched. It was devastating for Fraser. This incident derailed his career for quite a while. Those who wonder why Kaan Kalyon did not report it, need to understand that the entertainment industry works like a small town with rumors, lies and exaggerations spreading at warp speed and being believed. Often the victim can be in shock and in denial. They need time before reaching out for help or to report. My wish for Kaan Kalyon is that he receives justice and healing from his decision to come forward. THANK YOU to Kjersti Flaa. Kjersti is one of my favorite journalists who not only has critical thinking skills, but a copious amount of compassion for others.

MY REPLY TO PINNED COMMENT:

My favorite Elonism is his confusion as to why women are NOT prioritizing giving birth to more babies matched with his lack of support for schools, daycare costs and better medical care. I don't care what his net worth is (well I sorta do), I do care about his lack of critical thinking skills.

MY COMMENT TO VIDEO:

I noticed the word "confident" in a statement made by Tesla regarding the Autopilot's accuracy. So I searched for a common definition of the word, "confident"  per AI (maybe  META, maybe not 😉). I found the following, "feeling or showing confidence in oneself; self-assured". I am not an attorney, but being self-assured does not guarantee a successful outcome in any venture.

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Taylor Swift and Blake Lively) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/18/2025

As others have said, Taylor Swift is quite intelligent and talented. When Taylor Swift's album is released, IMO there is probably a quite devastating reference to BL and this legal mess covertly tucked into lyrics and/or music While this current "guess the reference" PR is just that, only PR. It seems like centuries ago, that this was a simple she said/he said regarding a workplace complaint. Now we have (allegedly) BL and team vs. The World.  So silly, none of this needed to happen had people behaved in a sensible manner. Wait, I forgot we were talking about Hollywood...my mistake.😜

Posted to Scott Rouse (RE: Direct & Cross of Nicholas Kassotis, now convicted of murder)08/16/2025

I watched the entire cross of Nicholas Kassotis. I noticed that NK's blink rate began speeding up towards the end of cross. I think it was then that his confidence regarding the verdict (the jury took less than 2 hours to arrive at guilty) began to diminish. By the time of sentencing there appeared to be non-stop blinking. I believe those were the seconds that the realization that he was to be incarcerated for life fully settled on NK. QUESTION: Can a followup analysis be done on the defense attorney during sentencing and the parents during their statements?  During the sentencing the attorney placed his arm around NK's shoulders. The live chat that I was in was spilt fairly evenly between CAUSE1: to prevent any physical/verbal action by NK and CAUSE2 to provide emotional support. I was in the CAUSE1 camp. As for the parents, their words projected love and trust in their son. Their facial expressions (much more in the father than the mother) seemed to be frozen in a kind of horrific disbelief. I have no medical expertise, but especially in the case of the father, his expression looked like deep shock. The kind of shock that warrants the check of medical vitals. IMO, with any professional expertise, I do not believe that they knew their son at all.

Posted to The Behavioral Arts(RE: Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Commerical) 08/16/2025

I have not watched too much of Piers Morgan's show, but my limited impression is that he encourages this kind of clash in discourse. Mark seemed to be the most invested in the fact that he did not get to speak and/or complete his thought rather than the genes vs jeans theme. The other 3 panelists appeared to be role playing as the conservative one, the easy-going one, and the off-the-wall one. Piers Morgan was the "mixer". IMO, the Sydney Sweeney commercials were deliberately designed to provide PR shock and awe (let's not forget baby Brooke Shields and her Calvins) for brand recognition, but not interested in pushing a now defunct scientific theory from the mid-twentieth century. 

QUESTION: I would be interested in the analysis of the E.L.F. commercials with comedian Mark Rife. SEE:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ23mb8sDR4     I had never heard of Mark Rife until this commercial. Due to certain "jokes" MR appears to be hovering just above a cancellation situation. The E.L.F. commercial seems weird, odd in tone. It tries to emphasize humor, but not the quality level that this budget makeup line can produce in anyone. My guess is that they are trying to appeal to girls maybe 11-16 years of age. Ethical, maybe not. However their price point is great for those with minimum wage jobs or parent-provided allowances.

No matter how calm, sane and well-adjusted that your client is, trying to manage the combination of being the cofounder of the producing film company, the film's director, the owner of the IP and one of the co-stars of a movie featuring many intimate and violent scenes seems to be a heavy load for even a seasoned producer/director/actor.

Sounds like this staff truly loved what they did and were attentive to details like unexpected line-con issues. As for the stairway, well it did get fixed before the con ended plus it served as an ADVENTURE and CONTENT! After 3 days at a recent con, there was no way I could make the train I needed to be on, so I ride shared.

At this point with all the legal shenanigans by BL's team, allegedly, it would be refreshing to have her side come up with actual evidence from IEWU movie co-workers or even any onset visitors from SONY supporting BL's accusations. Instead we have no verification in emails, texts or witnesses.  All we continue to see is a fishing expedition producing such toxicity as doxxing people whose safety depends on their privacy. Who longs for those he said/she said days? Simpler times, more straightforward issues, and a workplace complaint that probably would have been easier to resolve.

I enjoyed this discussion of 2 individuals who are "only" civil attorneys.🤣🤣🤣🤣 I plead guilty to excessive emoji use, but I wanted to make the tone of that comment clear.  I would be shocked if the insurance company did not try to settle. As Mandalorians often say, "This is the way"😉. From YT video interviews with Alan Jackson, David Yannetti and Robert Alessi that I have watched, all seem to be quite confident in Read's ability to maintain consistency with her MSM interviews. I REALLY REALLY hope that the children are not involved in this deposition. Although with listing the niece as one of the 4 plaintiffs in the civil suit, it seems unlikely. Just my gut feeling, but I believe that Karen Read was disliked immediately then put into the category of, "not one of us" when the relationship with Officer John O'Keefe began. IMO that negativity is more relevant to the plaintiffs' (the 3 adults) decisions to pursue this civil case than is the welfare of the 2 children. I hope that I will be proven incorrect.

Getting the video claimed, seems like insult to the injury of having to endure a slow watch (for a full analysis) of this movie. Subscribers should crowd source therapy. However, since I cannot afford to pay, I will recommend another option. Try to find a GOOD movie musical (maybe an oldie such as the 1952 film,  "Singing In The Rain" ?), thru well-trusted friends or from adept, compassionate movie critics. Watch said movie in short segments with a friend available online should assistance be required. Ideally this viewing should cleanse the palate along with hopefully dispensing of any newly acquired neuroses via CATS. One tiny positive about CATS, it is an educational movie. As Dame Judi Dench (as Old Deuteronomy) helpfully informed all of us, "...a cat is not a dog...". 😉

Posted to Andrew Gold/Heretics (RE: Discussion of new book on Prince Andrew) Uploaded 08/18/2025

Great interview by Andrew Gold. I appreciated that Andrew Lownie gives a measured, studied approach in his opinions of Prince Andrew and the other royals. Royalty is such an anachronistic way of life in the 21st century. I appreciate that William and Kate are trying to give their children a taste of normalcy. The study of ancestry is fascinating. However, neither the blunders or heroic accomplishments by one's ancestors should affect the manner in that co-workers, friends, relatives and the public treats you. Behavior shown by Prince Andrew or Prince Harry shows the multiple errors made in their upbringing. This is not an excuse for egregious fails (from Andrew) or petulant childish behavior (from Harry). Genetics is important, but growing a human from infancy to adulthood is not an easy task for anyone living in the artificial environment of being a royal.

ChatGPT, or any AI, is a tool (not like the ones on "Love Island" 😉), which can assist us if we humans use caution. Admittedly I do not know what pressure to produce that attorneys, clerks, paralegals or interns are put under. However  if a partner at a legal firm demands results in a ridiculously short amount of time, at least protect yourself with metadata (email or texts) informing anyone using this data that it has not been checked by human research due to time constraints placed upon said human. 'tis better to be fired with receipts for being ethical, than to be fired for being lazy, incompetent and unethical by your embarrassed (aka sanctioned) employer, Even if going pro se, do THE work, do THE research. Many judges will give leeway to pro se individuals, but not if said individual disrespects the court with sham precedents and/or lies. Astounding that these AI epic fails are still happening.

Wayfarer comes out looking magnanimous, ethical and (even more importantly) frees the judge from some paperwork.

Posted to John Campea (RE: Tom Cruise/Ana d'Armis action movie "Deeper" has $ issues) 08/09/2025

I have no idea what the proposed action film "Deeper" is about. On the assumption that this is not IP already in existence as a success via film or book, then a negotiation with WB should be for a more modest (with a proposed film budget that high, the range of being "modest" is still high to most mortals) budget for "Deeper". Along with green lighting that new budget for "Deeper" would be the contractual promise of a higher budget for the followup film(s). International theater receipts are not coming in as in the past. Plus Americans seem to prefer watching movies at home. Any onsite theater consumption appears to be for PG/PG-13 movies directed at the whole family or epic/event style films where huge screens and even bigger speakers add to the experience. The movie industry has to pivot or theaters will go away. Even the lure of overpriced yet tasty popcorn may not be enough to entice the fans to return to movies for the cinematic experience.

It is not just in fables (the little boy who cried wolf), that known liars are disbelieved when they tell the truth. MSP and Norfolk County DA's office have major problem with ethics, competence and information. The direct result is the assumption that a tragedy such as what happened to Enrique Delgado-Garcia was criminal, not medical. Regarding an aneurysm, sometimes there is pain before rupturing. However, a blow to the head from a fist or a fall is life-threatening for anyone. MSP should still have liability for making two major mistakes which were avoidable: (1) for not stopping the fight when Enrique Delgado-Garcia was hit and fell down. And (2) for not having EMTs/MDs standing by in that room. This is why there has to be a change of personnel currently in charge training cadets for the MSP along with many ADAs and the DA himself of Norfolk County.

THANK YOU to Jeff Ostroff for condensing and translating the events leading to this tragedy into data that can be generally understood by those of us without an engineering background. It is ironic that Stockton Rush who so hated regulations, laws and challenges to his expectations will probably be the direct cause of over-regulation of submersibles by government personnel with little or no expertise in subs, physics and engineering. IMO the U.S. government historically has been more reactive to disasters rather than being proactive in avoiding disasters. Perhaps whatever Senate Committee that ends up with this Coast Guard report will act wisely and selectively without inhibiting innovation or slowing the advancement of this technology. Maybe not the probable result, but I would like to believe that it could be a possible result.

Even if her early childhood was sheltered, seems like she should understand how the entertainment industry operates.

Admittedly this could be on me regarding my memory and social media. Think of it as the "The Mandela Effect" only with a smaller amount of participants. As for undercutting BL's case, a new job might be fine if a bench trial is requested. A judge is more cerebral, more legal precedent-minded.  With a jury composed of many personalities and work experiences, a new job might be seen as negating a portion of the damages "suffered" by the plaintiff.

Nice to see LE who can handle certain mental health issues without causing escalation. What is not nearly as amusing is when the alleged substance being used, turns an individual from a Dr. Jekyll to a Mr. Hyde. Hence the proper training of LE is essential in arrests such as this one.

With one being a CEO and the other being his Head of HR, the jokes wrote themselves. For the attribution of shame or repercussions regarding any relationship, I agree with Mina, that power should be left with their families, close friends, not social or MSM.  I do disagree slightly with Mina regarding the cheating case of one of the founding (married) members of The Try Guys. This act of cheating was beyond that dangerous pit of social media shaming. This man's actions could have caused litigation in criminal court if the woman employee had made a police report alleging coercion. This would obviously impact The Try Guys as a viable company. A criminal trial could lead to a civil complaint being filed. This would decimate The Try Guys company leaving their employees jobless as whether you win or loss a civil case it is usually VERY expensive. IMO due to his lack of judgement and zero professionalism, this former member of The Try Guys is eligible for "cancellation".

That TWENTY-TWO list of recommendations is too long, too complicated. For emergency placement (and this Victoria situation sounds like an emergency to me). those complicated "recommendations" can be simplified into a 5-pronged method.   BEFORE any applicant can begin their job at a daycare center in any capacity, applicants must be cleared/re-certified in these general areas: (1) search for any criminal convictions (country-wide/maybe even thru Interpol), (2) applicant's education with at least 2 references...that are personally contacted, (3) reasons for departure from past employers given, from both (a) the applicant and (b)  the former employer, (4) parental complaints compiled (a) regarding each center and (b) regarding past employees currently applying to other centers. (5) parents choosing daycare for their children should be given access to information about the center such as employee turn-over and emergency programs regarding health and safety. Should those recommendations be too complex or too difficult to get past the politicians, there is an even easier way to improve the current system. Observe in person and read reports on child care centers that are safe and successful in places like Sweden and Norway. Where possible/applicable, "copy" and "paste" into current system. My wish is for Hayden, Mrs. Overlaw'd, Daughter Overlaw'd along with the affected parents and children residing in the State of Victoria is compensation, justice and closure.

Posted to Ashley Briana Eve (RE: Sanctions requested against Bryan Freedman by BL team)08/26/25

I am not sure if there is anything resembling a "normal civil law suit" when it comes to defamation or mistreatment in a workplace environment, but it is accepted that filings by the defendant will be favorable towards the defendant as would be the filings by the plaintiff favorable to the plaintiff. There is also a legal version of "trash talk" within the filings that appear as references to legal precedents. These references are essentially "trash talk" but using inference and implication. As for any attorney's public statements on an active case, I would imagine that there is a fine line between hyperbole and actionable statements. Judge Limon does appear to be the type of jurist with a requirement that all parties involved whether pro se or a famous (aka expensive) legal firm to dot those legal i's and cross those legal t's. 

Posted to Lindsay Ellis (RE: Religion, Politics and Videos for children) Uploaded to YT on 08/26/25

Lindsay Ellis' video has taught me more about comparative religion along with those who hold power that we raised up either by election or simply by being a bystander like myself.  At the conclusion to this video, Lindsay apologized for not having answers. No apologies are necessary, she is correct. There is no one easy quick solution. However there is a direction that can be traveled. There was a spokesperson for a viewpoint who felt empathy and wisdom were polar opposites, essentially incompatible. That premise is deeply flawed. Our path out of tribalism, away from the us vs them outlook on life is the equation: Empathy + Wisdom (aka critical thinking). My gift will be small, but will be given in the hope that maybe somehow, someway it will combine with other gifts to assist someone, whom I will never know by face or by name nor will they ever know me. However, thanks to Lindsay Ellis I have been reminded that I can do...something.

Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Jed Wallace Update) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/28/2025

I agree with notactuallygolden, BL's team is still "fishing". What do you call people who keep fishing in the same spot with the same bait which for 8 months has resulted in zero "catch"?  Well, one certainly does not call said team intelligent, successful and the object of adoring fandom.😉 As for the Jed Wallace deposition that never happened. Just speculation, one side could not find receipts before the July date to challenge Jed Wallace during the deposition; thus the other side had no reason to counter.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Arrest of Jake & Rebecca Haro for murder of Emmanuel) 08/28/2025

I agree with Dr. Grande, by general profiling, Jake Haro is the primary perpetrator. Rebecca Haro, while obviously involved, her culpability is less clear. When Emmanuel's disappearance first become a media story. I noticed Rebecca Haro's glazed look, monotone voice, lack of grief in her face along with her, then and now, absolute loyalty to the husband. Her demeanor and speech reminds me of someone deep within a cult's control. Questioning her would require someone properly trained to deal with cultists. This person should build trust with Rebecca Haro, ask her about unrelated/unthreatening things. At a certain point the interviewer may be able to elicit details to assist the police. I am not sure about the "Miranda" implications regarding this type of interview or even spousal privilege. If police have questioned her in an aggressive, accusatory manner, Rebecca Haro will shut down to return to the mantra of, "My husband is innocent and my baby has been kidnapped." It is possible she actually believes those facts, even if she witnessed and then covered up the crime. I think that the reason for the "uncomfortable and combative" tone of the press conference was due to the fact that officials and institutions are being blamed (aka future lawsuit?) for Jake Haro's previous lenient treatment by LE and DA's office.

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Update on BL's deposition) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/28/2025

Seems like years, but probably was less than 12 months ago, that I was suspicious of Kjersti Flaa regarding that re-appearance of an unflattering (due to BL not KF) interview with Blake Lively concerning the 2016 movie, Café Society. That opinion changed when I began to view Kjersti's YT channel, did online reading/viewing (not twitter) and even took in a small amount of MSM. This "he said/she said" workplace complaint was not what the "she said" side alleged. Kjersti Flaa, a citizen of Norway, is fighting for our right to free speech in the U.S. along with other YT journalists/content creators (which also includes several Canadians and others not from the U.S.) It is wild that this attack on a basic right that many in the U.S. have taken for granted, has arrived via the alleged instigation of a celebrity with hurt feelings. Reality...or a "Black Mirror" episode?

Posted to notactuallygolden (RE: What is "in camera" regarding Jed Wallace client list) 08/28/2025

"In camera" sounds like a fair way (to all sides) to handle requests for information. There has been some online buzz about Judge Limon. I do not know his past rulings, but from what I have observed he is intensely interested in the law's formality, presentation and relevancy of precedents as annotated. Anyone going pro se or even being a member of the bar should take care before submitting anything to this court. PSA: While ok to use ChatGPT, NEVER use it as a sole source and ALWAYS do back up research on anything AI reports.  AI is not up to Skynet (a Terminator movie reference) levels yet.😉

Posted to DutyRon (RE: Press Conference on (baby) Emmanuel Haro) Uploaded to YT 0n 08/28/2025

Thank you DutyRon for commenting on this press conference. People are angry with those who had the power, legally, to intervene way before the parents' fabricated kidnapping story appeared. Leniency shown 7 years ago in Haro's sentence was only the first of many errors made by those in power. As was mentioned there was the gun possession charge plus the innumerable errors that were made by not taking legal and safety precautions such as: (1)CPS visits, (2)SW visits/evaluations, (3)court-appointed therapy, (4)periodic medical reports by a court appointed physician on all children in that household (5) all reports to be submitted to the court on a regular basis, (6) victims' advocate for the children. Regarding, HIPAA, medical data could be sealed by the judge. As for the TikTok sleuths, clicks and views along with strong emotions can cause onlookers to behave improperly. As with any crime scene, public event or criminal trial, there will always a need for the presence on site of trained crowd control/security who can keep things intact and calm. This is only a movie quote, but is relevant: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals...." (from the 1997 film MIB)  NO disrespect is intended regarding this tragedy. That phrase has stayed with me for years. It is a valid observation of what can happen when groups assemble during a stressful time.

Posted to Scott Rouse (RE: Meghan Markle Interview Regarding Being a CEO) Uploaded 08/29/2025

I wish her success. My reasoning is that if she and Harry can earn an income, we might see less of both of them. As for her body language, before her marriage Meghan was, and obviously still is, an actor. Even though not in the interview, Harry is still a factor even though Meghan tries to keep that topic out of the interview.  Harry presents a sad figure of a man who most likely stopped maturing emotionally at age 12. This interview was obviously intended to be upbeat and energetic, so Harry's presence or even his name is not often discussed.  Meghan's responses (or non-responses) to the interviewer are like someone who took an accelerated foreign language course. Meghan knows the nouns and the verbs, but not the syntax. Is she a CEO or Figurehead?  I am guessing Meghan knows that she is a figurehead. She chooses to identify publicly as a CEO for personal reasons (perhaps a dig at her spouse's family and his country) and for professional reasons (leverage/PR to acquire and/or finance her next job). Fascinating how each of them, Meghan and Harry, was educated, trained, coached, prepared for exactly one job (acting for her and ruling for him). Most likely neither will have the opportunity to do that one job in the near future. I guess one could say that Meghan is still "acting", but probably not in the way she envisioned before she met Harry.

Posted to AshleyB TV (RE: Megyn Kelly's video statement to BL) Uploaded to YT on 08/29/2025

If I had to make a list in January 2024 of what or who could in 2025, allegedly damage the rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, a self-entitled bullying celebrity with hurt feelings would not have been on that particular bingo card. While I cannot speak to daily content on Megyn Kelly's show, I did watch the 15 minute segment on BL. The best thing BL and her team could do would be to watch those 15 minutes then move on for some self-reflection. THANK YOU to AshleyB TV and all content creator-journalists for the research, critical thinking and support for freedom of speech...for all of us.

Posted to Ashley Briana Eve (RE: An interview by Monica Lewinsky of Ronan Farrow) 08/30/2025

I think Farrow's choice of words such as the identifying nouns, "this guy, that guy" regarding JB, is meant to intellectually and emotionally distance Farrow from any connection to this legal/ethical mess.  Calling Candace Owens, an influencer is not unusual. Many MSM journalists show some disdain or distance regarding those individuals primarily doing their journalism on YT or any new media. Years ago movie stars would never do TV or streaming because it would be of less prestige. Thanks to the 'vid and more people staying home to watch movies, that prejudice has considerably diminished. As for the reason why specifically Megan Twohey at NY Times might have been given the story could be that some editor without imagination might have given a "she said/he said" story because a particular reporter did so well in the past on that particular subject. Or maybe as Ashley has speculated, Ronan Farrow due to employer reasons gave Megan Twohey , a reporter he knew, the materials he had. Now if that is true, did Farrow do any research before the alleged handover? If not, did he remind Megan Twohey she needed to research this story? Actually he should not have to remind an experienced reporter to fact-check any material before publication. Don't know how this keeps happening, but literally every day a new weird event/news item comes out regarding this legal maze or BL vs. JB. 

Posted to The Behavioral Arts (RE: Analysis w/Dr. G about interview w/Travis Kelce & TS) 08/30/2025

This did look like a video of a couple (TK & TS not Dr. G and Spidey😉) rather than 2 celebrities pushing their own PR agenda completely for the sake of their careers. As for stats: both are age 35, they have dated over 2 years, they have announced their engagement, but as of this comment, not their wedding date, they have shared job knowledge and interests with one another. As any stats go, these seem to indicate a long, successful career/contract.😜 When there is a major life change for either, (at 35 years of age Travis Kelce could soon be ready for retirement as an active football player) in any one's marriage that would add a stressor. While I am not a "Swiftie", I still feel that Taylor Swift deserves a happy, stable relationship with a man who can laugh at himself and deal with extreme fandom. This seems to be a good match.

Posted to Lawyer You Know (RE: Howie Carr w/Atty Alan Jackson & Karen Read) 08///30/2025

In addition to receiving an appropriate financial settlement, I would like Karen Read to consider a Commonwealth of Massachusetts governmental position. The general election in the Commonwealth will be in November 2026 . Some (but not all) of the options on the ballot will be: Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General. A little further down the ballot will be the position of DA of Norfolk County. That particular office is in dire need of an intelligent, compassionate, quick-learner who is highly organized and strong-willed exactly those attributes that Karen Read possesses. IMO there is sufficient evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that acquiring a law school degree, passing the bar and sitting for decades within the offices of the DA of Norfolk County (with 20 MSP who have "issues")  has not benefited the Commonwealth and certainly not the citizens of Norfolk County. As for the Elizabeth Banks' film, well that's Hollywood!?

Posted to Hidden True Crime (RE: Psychological analysis of Jake and Rebecca Haro) 08/30/2025

I highly doubt that Jake Haro has any impulse control or ability to differentiate the normality of a crying baby, from a physical threat by another adult. Rebecca Haro, looks to me (not a psychologist) like a person deeply immersed in a cult. In 2 brief video clips her face was expressionless, minimal body movement, flat vocal tones and almost on a loop recants the mantra she was mostly likely rehearsed to say: "My baby was kidnapped. My husband is innocent." Admittedly this is all speculation. Likely Jake Haro will continue to lie while remaining dangerous to others. As for Rebecca Haro without intensive therapy, she will likely continue to recite and believe that mantra. Ironically should she ever return to self-awareness and free will, she will enter the h3ll of living the rest of her life in prison never being able to block out the horror in which she participated. What ever fate happens to Jake and Rebecca Haro, the tragedy of Emmanuel was preventable had this family been monitored on a regular basis due to past incidents.

Posted to SciShow (RE: Increased rate of young people getting colon cancer) 08/31/2025

If Colibactin was first identified in 2006, yet has been with humanity for millennia, what changed in the late 1980's to now that would accelerate Colibactin's dangerous effect on DNA? Is this higher rate of damage only on human DNA or have other living creatures been affected? Did environmental factors such as certain pollutants spread during that time period via industrial waste create a stronger bacterium along with weakening the human immune system? Did humanity just become more adapt in the frequent usage of household and institutional cleansers? As we spend more and more of our time in a closed, sanitized environments such as homes or schools or offices are we weakening our immune system by not allowing it to fend off some bacteria on its own?  My hope is that there is one "bad guy" currently existing in the form of some synthetic chemical which can be removed from our food and environment. If a breakthrough also indicates that significant life style changes would be required to stop the trend of colorectal cancer in young people, in this political and economic climate there would likely be difficulties in achieving global or even country-wide compliance.
