Satanists keep saying they don’t really worship Satan, as if that makes them acceptable.

Firstly, that would just make them liars and scammers.

Secondly, they do worship Satan and just lie about it to promote the worship of Satan while offending as few people as possible.

NH Journal:

Forget St. Nick; someone in Concord may end up on Satan’s naughty list after The Satanic Temple’s Baphomet statue was destroyed Monday night in an act of yuletide mayhem.

Concord Deputy Police Chief John Thomas told NHJournal that while the investigation into the vandalism is active and ongoing, he can rule out at least one possible suspect.

“Santa wouldn’t do this,” Thomas said. “Santa loves everybody.”

I don’t get the joke.

The statue of the hooded demon was found broken in half around 7 p.m. Monday night, a few hours after the marble slab showing The Satanic Temple’s seven principles was cracked.

State Rep. Ellen Read (D-Newmarket), who helped organize The Satanic Temple’s display, was spotted gathering up the broken shards of the goat-headed figure Tuesday morning after getting a call about the destruction. She’s not sure if members of The Satanic Temple plan to put their monster mannequin back together.

Ellen Read is the fat woman carrying the legs. People actually voted her to represent them.

Representatives of the Vermont and New Hampshire-based temple did not respond to a request for comment.

City officials were not thrilled about the addition to the public space when the Baphomet display went up this weekend on the Concord City Square in front of the State House. The square typically plays host to a traditional nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus.

A statement issued by the City of Concord indicates the permission for the sulphuric statue’s inclusion came under threat of a lawsuit.

“Under the First Amendment and to avoid litigation, the City needed to choose whether to ban all holiday displays installed by other groups, or otherwise, to allow it,” the statement reads. “After reviewing its legal options, the City ultimately decided to continue the policy of allowing unattended displays at City Plaza during this holiday season and to allow the statue. It is anticipated that the City Council will review next year whether permits for unattended holiday displays should be allowed at City Plaza.”

Cornerstone, a New Hampshire Christian advocacy organization, has mocked the display as a childish and insincere attempt to promote an anti-religious agenda, not an expression of actual spiritual beliefs.

“The Satanic Temple are not Satanists. They have no religious belief in any Satan figure. They are normal, atheist feminists who use Satanic imagery as a legal tactic, to fundraise through media exposure, and because offending Christian grandmothers brings a sense of meaning to their sad lives,” it said in a statement.

Cornerstone acknowledges there are people with pagan or even Satan-centric religious beliefs, but said those behind the State House display aren’t among them.

“If you remember the 1990s, you might have the wrong idea about who put up the ‘Satanic’ statue in Concord, New Hampshire this weekend,” the group posted on social media, “‘The Satanic Temple’ is not Charles Manson: it’s just your liberal feminist aunt trying to trigger you by mocking your faith.”

Yeah, that’s actually just as bad as worshiping Satan.

It’s the same thing, in fact.

They need to come out and start saying they’re going to give the death penalty to anyone who is against trannies.

“Cops have been ordered to shoot to kill if they suspect anyone is not offering full respect to trans folks.”

A New Hampshire high school on Thursday banned multiple parents from its campus for protesting a transgender student’s participation in a girls soccer game, according to outlet NHJournal.

Bow High School reportedly barred the parents from entering any of its buildings, grounds and property, including the athletic fields, after they wore pink arm bands at a Tuesday game. The bands were designed to protest the involvement of a transgender player on the opposing team, according to NH Journal.

NH Journal said the bands featured two of the letter X, meant to correspond with female chromosomes.

The high school reportedly wrote in a letter to Anthony Foote, one of the parents, that he was also banned from any extracurricular events, whether they be on or off campus.

The arm bands reportedly violated the school’s policies against threats, harassment and intimidation, as well as the disruption of any activities.

“The District had to obtain additional police presence to ensure order,” the letter said, according to NHJournal. “The District had to order you to remove the armbands and as a result of your ‘protest’ and other actions, play was temporarily stopped.”

Foote called his ban “ridiculous,” noting that he was concerned about any safety risk the transgender student posed to his daughter, NJ Journal reported.

…

The incident came a week after a federal judge temporarily blocked a New Hampshire law barring transgender females from playing in sports based on gender identity. Some opponents of the law argued it treated transgender athletes unfairly.

Maybe if these boomers didn’t care so much about women’s sports, they would be able to organize and protest something that actually matters.

But the only thing boomers care about is that immigrants be legal and that trannies not be allowed in women’s sports. They don’t care about any other issues.

Finally, people are taking action against viruses.

Viruses have plagued us for far too long.

It’s time to strike back – with poison gas!

The Guardian:

A New Hampshire resident infected with the rare but potentially lethal mosquito-borne eastern equine encephalitis virus has died, state health authorities said.

The Hampstead resident’s infection with the disease also known as EEE was the first in the state in a decade, the New Hampshire health and human services department said Tuesday. The resident, whom the department only identified as an adult, had been hospitalized due to severe central nervous system symptoms, the department said.

Meanwhile, the disease has prompted officials to close public parks as well as implement targeted bug spraying in several communities in nearby Massachusetts.

EEE is a virus that generally spreads to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It can affect people of all ages, cause severe illness and possibly lead to death.

About 30% of people who become infected die, according to the CDC, and many survivors have ongoing neurologic problems.

As of Sunday, 13 communities in Massachusetts are designated as being at risk. And in an effort to reduce the general risk of infection, state officials will conduct sprayings this week – both by plane and by truck – of a pesticide that controls mosquitoes in the at-risk areas.

“We have not seen an outbreak of EEE for four years in Massachusetts,” the commissioner of the Massachusetts department of public health, Robbie Goldstein, said on Saturday. “This year’s outbreak and activity raise the risk for communities in parts of the state. We need to use all our available tools to reduce risk and protect our communities.”

Aerial spraying is used where there is a “high risk of human disease”, state officials said. That form of spraying will be taking place this week in towns in Plymouth county – and spraying by truck will occur in areas of southern Worcester county.

Is the government trying to give everyone chronic illness?

Isn’t the food bad enough? The chemicals in the water? The plastic everywhere?

They have to go ahead and spray everyone with poison gas?

Rare mosquito-transmitted viruses, particularly sloth fever and eastern equine encephalitis, are “accelerating” in the U.S. and will soon “be our new normal” says infectious disease expert Dr. Peter Hotez.

We talk a lot about God as an artist, but we shouldn’t forget His sense of humor.

No, I mean, it’s morbid. I don’t want to imply God thinks it’s funny to give sweet Chinese girls cardiac arrest. She looks like a nice girl. I’m sure God didn’t do this. But… he might have chosen the time it happened, you know? Because it’s in the headlines because of the absurdity.

Healthy people in their teens and twenties are having heart attacks and cardiac arrest all over the country, every day now. It’s just usually not a news item, certainly not a national news item.

I think everyone who took that vax knew it was wrong. It had to have just felt wrong. Everyone knew it was made from abortions. It was in the public discussion. The “Pope” was out there like “you can actually just eat an entire baby if it might prevent the flu.”

We should try to be understanding, of course.

With the vax thing, it’s kinda like “I WON.”

So there’s no reason to gloat.

The Mirror:

A young nurse suffered a cardiac arrest while studying the condition before fellow nurses rushed to save her

Andy Hoang had eagerly began her first nursing job this year in New Hampshire, with a desire to specialize in cardiac care. However, during a practice session on how to respond to someone in cardiac arrest at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, the 23-year-old started to feel dizzy and nauseated.

Hoang remembered nothing more of the medical episode, before waking up waking up only to be told she herself had suffered a cardiac arrest, with her fellow nurses in training coming to her aid as they swapped chest compressions on a mannequin for the real thing

“One checked her carotid, one her femoral (arteries), and she did not have a pulse,” instructor Lisa Davenport said. The nurses started CPR and a “code blue,” or medical emergency, team was called.

“What was really stressful about the situation was that we never had a real code blue in the center,” Davenport said. “We train for them all the time.”

Davenport shouted for help. Luckily, the Lebanon hospital’s critical care team was nearby, attending a separate session. More nurses came in, hooked Hoang up to defibrillator for monitoring, inserted an IV line and placed her on oxygen. A doctor and nurse from another department rushed in with crash carts.

Hoang was waking up by the time an emergency team arrived. Davenport estimated 15 minutes passed from the time Hoang slumped over to when they got her on a stretcher and sent her to the emergency department. But it felt longer. “It worked out, but it was pretty frightening for all of us,” she said. “You just don’t expect that to happen with someone as young as Andy.”

…

Hoang, who recently returned to work, couldn’t believe what had happened either. “I would say I’m your pretty average healthy 23-year-old,” she said. She goes to the gym four times a week, runs, and eats well. “I’m on my feet 12, 13 hours a day at work, so I want to make sure that I’m in shape for that.”

Yeah, well – you actually do expect that now, because it happens all the time now.

It didn’t happen in 2020. Now, it happens constantly. Something changed. You get three guesses as to what it was – the first two do not count.

But this sorry bitch is Chinese. These people actually are victims. China society is ultra-pro-social. It’s weird and if you went there, it would take you a very long time to figure that out – because they sure as hell aren’t social with white people – but their behavior with each other is hyper-social.

Anyway, she was probably born here, or grew up here. She had to have been young when she came, because there is no reason for an adult Chinese to move to this shithole in the current year, due to the massive drop in the quality of life. So she is functioning on Chinese biology in a white Jewish society where everyone is constantly trying to fuck each other over.

People will say “white societies are high trust,” but that is only true in comparison to, like, black people. Maybe also a lot of Islamic groups and Mexicans. But it’s not true in comparison to Asians. They all have something that can only be described as “autism like traits,” and while there is lying and some scamming that goes on in China – or at least did historically, crime is illegal now – it wasn’t ever confrontational or aggressive. Further, the idea of an entire society being based on lies and exploitation is incomprehensible to an Asian person.

So, you give them some slack, these poor Asians locked in here with us.

There were no side-effects of the Chinese vaccine. It was a placebo.

But just so you understand: the only reason this is in the headlines is that it’s funny (either funny haha or the other kind of funny – take your pick) that it happened while she was studying for it. This is happening constantly now. Everything I said about the vax was TRUE and you should PAY ME for SAVING YOUR LIFE.

The cancers are only just starting.

New York Post:

High school students in New Hampshire are at risk of disciplinary action after allegedly snapping inappropriate photos of female classmates’ bodies, making them into trading cards, and giving out “grades” to the images.

A group of ninth- and 10th-grade students at Bedford High School had been photographing 11th- and 12th-grade girls without their knowledge and circulating the images without their consent, Bedford High School Principal Bob Jozokos said in an email to parents last week.

In the email, provided to the New Hampshire Union Leader by a parent, Jozokos called the behavior “upsetting” and warned that the students involved can expect a meeting with their parent at school — and possibly suspension.

“This is absolutely inappropriate behavior and not expected of our students,” Jozokos wrote.

The principal added that parents should “let your teen know that I take this sexual harassment very seriously and there is no place for it in our community.”

The students who participated in the disturbing behavior — mainly boys — created both physical and digital trading cards featuring the chests, backsides and names of upperclass girls, NBC10 Boston reported.

The group of students were printing pictures of the girls and taping them over Pokémon cards for at least a week.

“They were, like, rating them,” one student told NBC10 Boston. “From 0 to 10, and just rating them, ‘bad’ or ‘not bad.’”

…

According to a WMUR report, school administrators interviewed 35 students on Friday over the incident.

A petition created by a Bedford High School senior calls for the permanent expulsion of the students involved — instead of the suspension Jozokos had threatened. As of Wednesday, over 4,300 signatures of its 5,000-signature goal had been collected.

This is a war on teenage boys.

There is not even a victim.

None of these new crimes of the future have victims. The claim the victim is a “value” who has been violated.

Who created these values?

It was not Jesus Christ, I can tell you that much, dear brother.

There’s a pretty simple solution if these sluts don’t want their bodies rated.

It’s always been an option.

(At least in America, I guess technically in France there are laws saying you have to be a whore by state mandate.)

Reduxx:

A trans-identified male politician credited with being the first openly transgender representative elected in the United States has been arrested on charges involving the distribution of child sexual abuse materials.

Stacie Laughton, born Barry Charles Laughton Jr., was a Democratic representative for the New Hampshire House, winning his last election in November of 2022. But Laughton resigned less than one month after winning the election following scrutiny for being charged with the violation of a stalking order that had been placed against him by a woman in his community. Laughton violated the order just one month before he was elected.

While Laughton is still facing his stalking charges, he was arrested again this past Tuesday. This time, on charges involving the distribution of child sexual abuse materials.

Sergeant John Cinelli, public information officer for the Nashua Police Department, revealed that officers had interviewed reporting parties before detectives from special investigations took over. The investigators subsequently applied for a warrant for Laughton’s arrest.

The 38-year-old is facing four counts of the distribution of sexually explicit images of children.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Laughton has a lengthy criminal history. In addition to his stalking charges, he is also on bail for a 2021 arrest in which he was accused of the egregious misuse of the Nashua 911 emergency system.

Between May and July 2021, he sent seven texts to Nashua 911, prompting police officers to respond to his address. On each occasion, they determined there was no emergency. At the time, Laughton denied sending the texts and claimed that he was being “spoofed” by an unknown perpetrator.

He also complained that media coverage of the arrest was making him look bad.

Your face is more than enough to make you look bad, faggot

Laughton was first elected to the New Hampshire legislature in 2012 and became the first openly transgender individual to hold public office in the United States. He withdrew before taking the role when it was revealed that he had served four months in prison in 2008 on a felony conviction for identity and credit card fraud and falsifying physical evidence.

I love the term “openly transgender.”

They now claim that people all throughout history were “closeted transgender,” which is impossible, given that “transgender” is defined by the act of pretending to be someone of the opposite sex, and it is defined by doing that in public.

Technically, I guess they claim that these people’s souls are trapped in the wrong bodies, but they haven’t ever fleshed that out, because they don’t believe in the soul.

A special election was scheduled a few weeks later, and Laughton signed up to run again. But officials barred him from holding public office as, according to state law, he had not completed his sentence.

After the sentence related to the 2008 conviction was exhausted, Laughton was allowed to run for office again in 2019. He was elected selectman in 2011, 2019, and 2021. He was also elected state representative in 2020.

Laughton has been held in preventive detention and is scheduled to appear at Hillsborough County Superior Court-South today for arraignment.

Earlier this year, Laughton became an ordained Minister and delivered his first sermon on YouTube.

According to GetOrdained, Laughton was affiliated with Buddhism, Methodism, New Age, Oneness Pentecostalism, Pentecostalism, Protestantism, Rastafarianism, Spiritualism, Tibetan Buddhism, Unitarian Universalism, and the Universal Life Church.

Yeah, that’s what you find with these people.

They are just extreme anti-social personalities.

It doesn’t say whether it was boys or girls, which would usually mean it was boys only. But it could have been both.

“Pedophile” is a word that usually means “homosexual,” or, conversely, in woman-speak, “a man with a normal sexual attraction to teenage girls.” (Recently, women and the reddit left went on a rampage calling people “pedophile” for saying they wanted to marry a 16-year-old, which is not even illegal. Women have called men in their 40s “pedophile” for dating women in their 20s.)

The term “heterosexual pedophile” is always false.

There was some French Jew* who was the thing that everyone normal thinks of when they think of the term “pedophile,” and he identified all children – male and female – as a “third sex.” He was into both boys and girls. You find this with others. That fat Jew pedophile who was the spokesman for Subway was into both little boys and little girls.

That is what I think a lot of trannies are.

Then there are some that are just feminine homosexuals, there are some who are “heterosexual” and just into autogynephilia, then there are some that are just doing it for power and social status. Probably, there is a small group that is doing it for the lulz – i.e., to walk around in women’s locker rooms with an erection, to win women’s sports, etc.

Aside from those doing it for the lulz, every group of tranny presents an existential threat to society, especially to children.

Video from 10 years ago

The real “no one could have predicted it” moment here is that this guy was arrested at all. It’s likely that he set himself up to get caught, because he got off on the idea of being caught.

Most likely, the charges will be quietly dropped.

The latest tranny/pedophile thing that is going on is related to deep fakes. It’s pretty much been universally decided in the West that Japanese “loli” – drawings of little girls having sex – and the boys version of that, which I forget the name of and am not going to look up, are legal. No one has tried to ban loli cartoons.

When these cartoons get really realistic, it is going to lead to a new frontier in this movement.

One thing that seems to be happening is that people who are really addicted to pornography decide they need something more extreme, and then get into child porn. I think the tranny movement is also linked to porn addiction. It is all just this huge mess, where the government is so aggressively encouraging people to be as messed up as possible.

*EDITOR’S NOTE: I don’t know who that is a reference to. Gabriel Matzneff was a Russian Jew pedophile from France, but he was, as far as I’m aware, a homosexual. I can vaguely remember the “third sex” term from another French pedophile, though I don’t remember the details. France has allowed people to practice and document pedophilia well into the 21st century, for whatever reason. Although, people don’t know this, but famous Americans like the Jew Allen Ginsburg and the friend-to-all-Jews William S. Boroughs were documenting pederasty in America up through the 1980s, at least. People also don’t know that during the homosexual movement of the 80s and 90s, NAMBLA – the National Man-Boy Love Association – was a big part of the scene, with one of the key demands of the Stonewall crowd being that they be given access to young boys. None of what is happening with the homosexuals rallying around the tranny movement should shock anyone, as this provides a straight shot to accessing children. If a child can “consent” to being sexually mutilated with drugs and surgeries, it can “consent” to sex, which is much less extreme. 

New Hampshire dad dresses as Julius Caesar at school board meeting to protest teacher’s gender-fluid attire, accuses district of ‘facilitating gender confusion.’ pic.twitter.com/GWgpKSs76v

Oh, yes – this will help for sure.

New York Post:

A Concord, New Hampshire, father who was banned from occupying an elementary school’s property dressed up as Julius Caesar at a school board meeting on Monday to drive his claims that a public school district is “facilitating gender confusion.”

“I am Caesar. Julius Caesar of Rome, the emperor. I am also a female,” Michael Guglielmo said. “Does anybody here believe that? That I am Julius Caesar? Anybody believe that? No, of course not. It’s ridiculous.”

Guglielmo called for the suspension of both Concord School District Superintendent Kathleen Murphy and Christa McAuliffe Elementary School Principal Kristen Gallo for “facilitating gender confusion” by allowing an art teacher who identifies with the LGBTQ community to continue teaching in the elementary school.

Guglielmo has been outspoken about the art teacher, Silas Allard, who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, for his decision to wear traditionally female clothing during the school day.

He has also criticized Allard’s previous social media posts, arguing they are inappropriate for children.

Guglielmo was banned from visiting McCauliffe Elementary last month due to an interaction between himself and Allard.

It’s all such a waste of time.

You’re not changing the school. You’re not changing it even by dressing up like Caesar.

It’s over, and unless you want to talk about Jews, you should really just give up.

We’re seeing more young people standing up to tranny stuff.

But that’s kind of the point, frankly.

Our entire society is focused on this total nonsense issue.

Anyone who wants to stand up against anything is going to have to first deal with all of this tranny stuff – they will start throwing trannies at you if you ever try to do anything – and after that, they will probably be tired.

AP:

Dozens of students walked out of their New Hampshire school after the district banned urinals in a compromise to a proposal that would have blocked children from using facilities based on their gender identity.

The school board decided a few days before the Friday walkout to prohibit students at Milford Middle School and Milford High School from using urinals or shared spaces in locker rooms.

The ban in a town of about 15,000 people roughly 35 miles (56 kilometers) from Concord, New Hampshire’s capital, was the culmination of a long debate about district rules about bathroom use and gender identity. District procedures say students can access the bathroom that “corresponds to their gender identity consistently asserted at school.”

This is how many trannies there are now.

Small town high schools have trannies.

That procedure still applies. But a proposal that came before the school board called for no longer allowing students to use school bathrooms and locker rooms based on their gender identity. Board member Noah Boudreault said he proposed new restrictions on bathroom use as part of a compromise.

“I want to be clear, it was a compromise to both sides of this issue,” Boudreault said. “It was out into effect last week.”

Under the new policy, the maximum occupancy for each bathroom and locker room will be capped at the number of stalls it contains. It also prevents students from using shared changing areas.

The students demonstrated for about 45 minutes after the walkout. Some held signs, at least one of which said: “We want urinals.”

Yeah.

We do want urinals.

But there are so many other problems, no?

They just throw these trannies at you, and then your entire life is about trannies, and you can fight the trannies, but if you win it means literally nothing because you were fighting mentally ill freaks who don’t even know what is going on.

I wonder if some of these gender reveal things are actually a backlash against the tranny craze. Or perhaps some eternal ying-yang type balance.

Sorta feels like they both appeared out of nowhere at around the same time.

Sputnik News:

As expecting parents race to outdo each other in their dramatic and often explosive ways of revealing the gender of their forthcoming child, injuries and even deaths are mounting. Four people have died in the last year at gender reveal parties.

Residents of the town of Kingston, New Hampshire, got a rude shock on Tuesday evening after an explosion rocked their community. Some thought it was an earthquake, according to NBC Boston, as the rumble was felt at least 20 miles away in northern Massachusetts. However, after meteorologists confirmed there had been no noticeable seismic activity, people began searching for other possibilities.

It was soon discovered that the source of the shaking had been a huge explosion of Tannerite, an explosive used in target practice, at a nearby quarry. An unnamed family had used the boom as a dramatic way to reveal the gender of their expected child, said local police, who viewed footage of the incident.

“It was earth-shaking,” one resident told NBC. Another noted the shaking had knocked pictures off her walls, and a third related that another neighbor had suffered cracks in their house foundation.

“It was ridiculous,” one woman said. “I don’t have any other words for it.”

“Obviously, depending on the amount [of explosives] they were using, it could be extremely dangerous,” Kingston Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr. told the New Hampshire Union Leader, noting that charges could result from the incident.

Gender reveal parties have become increasingly popular in recent years, although the race to produce the most shocking and impressive reveals has resulted in destruction and even death. Four have died in the last year during gender reveals, including two who perished in February when their airplane crashed in Cancun, Mexico, while performing a stunt to reveal their baby’s assigned gender.

Millennials were deeply affected by the selfishness of their boomer parents. Now they’re becoming parents themselves, way too late, and taking it way too seriously.

“I’m gonna be such a devoted dad that I’m going to set off a bomb!”

This is not logical.

Bringing guns to political events is so stupid, and all it does is completely neuter your protest, making the entire thing about gun rights – which are under threat literally less than every other Constitutional right.

It also exponentially increases the risk of some kind of Charlottesville-tier disaster happening at your event, as well as make you very easily demonized.

And what exactly is the benefit? Does anyone even know? What is the meaning supposed to be?

If they’re not going to shoot people – and they’re not – then what are the guns supposed to mean?

Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire has called off the planned inauguration ceremony for himself and other state officials, saying there was ‘too much risk’ after an armed protester was arrested outside his house.

“On Monday evening an armed individual trespassing in my backyard was arrested carrying two dozen rounds of ammunition,” Sununu said on Wednesday afternoon. “Cancelling our outdoor inaugural ceremonies was not a decision we made easily, but it was the right decision to ensure the safety of my family and the public.”

Skylar Bennett, 38, was arrested on Monday and charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct at the event advertised as a “candlelight vigil for victims of the lockdown.” It was the latest in a series of protests that began on November 22, two days after Sununu – a Republican governing a state with a reputation for libertarian values – imposed a mask mandate indoors and outdoors in a bid to control the coronavirus spread.

“It’s clear this ordinance in Newfields was specifically to benefit King Sununu,” Bennett told AP, adding that people are protesting because the governor “closed the state.”

Sununu was not at home during the protest. He accused“armed protesters” of becoming “more aggressive” over the past several weeks, “targeting my family, protesting outside my private residence, and trespassing on my property.”

These “armed protests” originated on Facebook, and they are about one thing: superficially empowering men who have been disempowered by this system.

That is sad and all, but it serves no clear purpose, and it damages everyone’s cause. You’re not sympathetic when you show up to a political protest with a rifle. In fact, you just look like a menace.

I know people don’t understand this, and these guys that do it are just morons, but seriously: people need to start shouting them down and telling them to leave these events.

When these people show up with rifles, they should be chased off.

There might be a time when serious people go out in the street with guns. If that time comes, it’s not going to be a silly costume event, so these jokers that are having fun with it now are not going to be there.
