EU Out of Control: Brexit Now Crucial for Basic Human Rights

________________________________

Censorship worthy of China is being discussed by the corrupt European Union. Here is their white paper: 

Communication on Online Platforms and the Digital Single Market Opportunities 

and Challenges for Europe

Essentially to "protect" everyone, which is the corporations and governments, that there should be an internet identification (ID) that would curb bad things like "hate speech."

Here's what the EU believes about how a person should be tied to the internet:

It is recognised that a multitude of username and password combinations is both inconvenient and a security risk. However, the frequent practice of using one’s platform profile to access a range of websites and services often involves non-transparent exchanges and cross- linkages of personal data between various online platforms and websites. As a remedy, in order to keep identification simple and secure, consumers should be able to choose the credentials by which they want to identify or authenticate themselves. In particular, online platforms should accept credentials issued or recognised by national public authorities, such as electronic or mobile IDs, national identity cards, or bank cards.

Why is the British people staying in the European Union when the EU does not respect their basic human rights? 

In America, our federal government has been pushing the National ID Act on states. So when are people and states going to rise to the occasion and tell the corporation masquerading as our government what to go do with itself? 

Internet ID's is plain and simple: censorship. Step out line, disobey the government, or write a negative critique of a business and your internet "privileges" that you pay a high cost for are suspended or revoked. 

Hate speech is another word for censorship. Freedom of Speech protects speech you do not like to hear. There is no such thing as "hate speech" only censorship.

People of the world: take your countries back away from these haters of basic human rights of freedom and expression.

Gender Dysphoria, the Mental Disorder, and the Child Abuse Promoting this Ideology is the New Sterilization - Population Control Campaign

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Gender Ideology / Child Abuse 
_____________________________________

Want someone to voluntarily sterilize themselves? Why not convince children there is something inherently wrong with them so that the State can carry out chemical and surgical sterilization without a fight from the intended victims and be able to neutralize parents with rules, policies, laws, educators, psychologists, and government authorities?

Welcome to the new Dark Ages. Gender ideology seeks to do the worst to humanity by confusing the most vulnerable about their bodies. 

“Where does the APA or DSM-V indicate that Gender Dysphoria is a mental disorder?”

The APA (American Psychiatric Association) is the author of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition(DSM-V). The APA states that those distressed and impaired by their GD meet the definition of a disorder. The College is unaware of any medical literature that documents a gender dysphoric child seeking puberty blocking hormones who is not significantly distressed by the thought of passing through the normal and healthful process of puberty. 

From the DSM-V fact sheet: 

“The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition." 

“This condition causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.” 

 “Where does the DSM-V list rates of resolution for Gender Dysphoria?”

On page 455 of the DSM-V under “Gender Dysphoria without a disorder of sex development” it states: “Rates of persistence of gender dysphoria from childhood into adolescence or adulthood vary. In natal males, persistence has ranged from 2.2% to 30%. In natal females, persistence has ranged from 12% to 50%.” Simple math allows one to calculate that for natal boys: resolution occurs in as many as 100% – 2.2% = 97.8% (approx. 98% of gender-confused boys) Similarly, for natal girls: resolution occurs in as many as 100% – 12% = 88% gender-confused girls

If resolution in confused boys and girls happens, then why are the authorities creating intervention? 

Conclusion: 

Our opponents advocate a new scientifically baseless standard of care for children with a psychological condition (GD) that would otherwise resolve after puberty for the vast majority of patients concerned. Specifically, they advise: affirmation of children’s thoughts which are contrary to physical reality; the chemical castration of these children prior to puberty with GnRH agonists (puberty blockers which cause infertility, stunted growth, low bone density, and an unknown impact upon their brain development), and, finally, the permanent sterilization of these children prior to age 18 via cross-sex hormones. There is an obvious self-fulfilling nature to encouraging young GD children to impersonate the opposite sex and then institute pubertal suppression. If a boy who questions whether or not he is a boy (who is meant to grow into a man) is treated as a girl, then has his natural pubertal progression to manhood suppressed, have we not set in motion an inevitable outcome? All of his same sex peers develop into young men, his opposite sex friends develop into young women, but he remains a pre-pubertal boy. He will be left psychosocially isolated and alone. He will be left with the psychological impression that something is wrong. He will be less able to identify with his same sex peers and being male, and thus be more likely to self identify as “non-male” or female. Moreover, neuroscience reveals that the pre-frontal cortex of the brain which is responsible for judgment and risk assessment is not mature until the mid-twenties. Never has it been more scientifically clear that children and adolescents are incapable of making informed decisions regarding permanent, irreversible and life-altering medical interventions. For this reason, the College maintains it is abusive to promote this ideology, first and foremost for the well-being of the gender dysphoric children themselves, and secondly, for all of their non-gender-discordant peers, many of whom will subsequently question their own gender identity, and face violations of their right to bodily privacy and safety.

Sex Offenders / Database
____________________________________

Sex Offender Database

Realizing that it is impossible to notify every citizen about a sex offender's presence in their community, this site will empower you to obtain information and take the appropriate precautions. Furnishing the public with information regarding convicted sex offenders is a critical step towards encouraging the public to protect themselves from potential future acts.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) has established this site according to the requirements of A.R.S. 13-3827. DPS is responsible for maintaining the site and annually verifying the addresses of all registered sex offenders.

Remember when using this site and contents that it is not who and what you know, it's who you don't. 

Not all sex offenders are listed on this database and sexual predators who have not been caught are of course a public safety issue. Please watch your children at all times.

America the Beautiful Works When the Rule of Law is Enforced on Illegal Aliens

Staff Writer, R. Patrick Chapman

Immigration / Government

___________________________________

In the Article, ICE Agent: “My Job Obsolete, Borders Now Wide Open;” Career ICE Official: “We’re Being Kept in Dark;” 40 Mlln Amnesty, NOT Just 5 Mlln, Debbie Schlussel examines the stories behind the refugee influx.

The problem is there is no economic stability to accept such an influx in America. There is no full employment within the United States. Graduate and post doctoral students are looking for jobs. How can America welcome competition from outside the country to compete with our own well educated individuals? 

There are many questions to why Americans must be emotionally blackmailed into allowing illegal anyone into our country. Mexico and southward into South America are a host of Spanish speaking countries with the means and ability to take in these refugees. These countries all share a common language, religion, culture, as well as social mores and norms not found in vast quantities in America. 

Why, you may ask? America is a melting pot. An immigrant must adhere and accept the American way, culture, and language in order to have a positive experience in our country. In the last few decades, Americans have seen preferential treatment given to an outside culture over theirs. For instance, Americans have been forced to learn Spanish or not be hired for jobs, English has been relegated to the Press #2  on phone lines.

When an immigrant arrives in America with their government paperwork and new identification, that immigrant is now given the ability to melt in our melting pot. America is comprised of many different and exciting cultures, foods, and languages. It's not perfect but we seem to manage just fine.

Illegal immigration disrupts our social infrastructure. Our culture is competing with an alien culture. Our primary language is being substituted for a new one. Children are being used to make Americans look and feel brutish when we try to hold parents from other countries accountable for their actions. Illegal aliens flood our streets waving their ancestral flags demanding the racist Americans to open their borders and change the laws just for them. 

America does not work that way. We have laws here. Immigrants fleeing lawless countries and governments want America to forget her laws to offer special privileges to accommodate these individuals. Isn't that what type of system they just ran away from? And why travel thousands of miles to the United States border when another Spanish speaking country is a lot closer? 

If these illegal aliens were in fact refugees, wouldn't the United Nations demand other Spanish speaking countries within a stone's throw to accept them instead of hauling children across continents? Isn't that child endangerment and irresponsible otherwise?

Something does not make sense here. The only way illegal immigration comes across our borders is if the United States government allows it. The Federal Government has done a great job not enforcing the laws we have on the books.

Illegal immigration causes strife. Wages are lowered. Corporations receive docile and pliant workers. A slave class is created. The fabric of the American culture is torn apart and if you complain, you are a racist. 

There is no racism going on with illegal immigration. Peoples of Latin and South America are Caucasian in origin, unless their lineage is directly linked to the Native population then they are of Asian descent with no Slavic influence. Indigenous ancestors and native Europeans, North Africans and West Asians "are equally Caucasian regardless of skin tone as race is based on craniofacial anthropometry and morphology not skin pigmentation." So if most of the illegal aliens are of Caucasian descent then the racism card cannot be played against Americans since the majority on either side are Caucasian. 

Sorry, not happening. 

The problem with illegal immigration is that these individuals do not melt into our pot. Our language, culture, society norms and mores are disregarded. As the native people, we are forced into the uncomfortable position to point out that we want rule of law while being screamed at as horrible people. 

Illegal aliens, refugees can be absorbed into their neighboring countries instead of being hauled to our borders. It just does not make sense any other way. If the United Nations really wanted to be of service, the UN would be working with Latin and South American countries to clean up the strife, create rule of law, and take in refugees.

America works. America works when we have immigrants that adapt to our culture and society. America works when we have a common language. America works when we have a solid, cohesive national identity. America works when all people who are here are on equal footing. America works when the rule of law is enforced.

The question is: who does not want America to work?

Immigration Crisis: Government Problem-Making So Politicians Can Blackmail Voters into a Predeteremined Solution

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Immigration / Illegal Status

___________________________________

Is there something the United States government is not telling the American people? In recent weeks there has been a surge of illegal aliens especially from Central and South America coming across the Mexico-United States border.

The law states:

Regulation of immigration. Informed by several constitutional provisions and  ultimately resting on the inherent right of every sovereign nation to control its borders, the authority to regulate the entry of aliens and the conditions of their stay is a plenary power of the Federal Government. Congress has exercised this authority primarily through the  Immigration & Nationality Act of 1952 (INA), as amended (8 U.S.C. §§ 1101 et seq.).  Under the INA, an alien, including an unaccompanied minor, who arrives without  proper migration documents has no right to remain and, indeed, is regarded as having no  constitutional rights within the immigration process.

Articles such as these ones are documenting the invasion: 

• Katrina of Illegal Immigrants Flooding into Border States Daily 
• Obama, Mexico Facilitate Illegal Immigration: 300 More Illegal Migrant Kids Flood U.S. Border
• After Leaked Photos Expose Unaccompanied Child Crisis, Border Patrol Agents Threatened With Firings

Not to mention the articles, interviews, and documentation being reported by Inforwars about illegal immigration, church and border patrol assistance to these aliens as well as exhibiting what happens to surrounding areas when the Federal Government does not enforce current and necessary immigration laws.

In the article, Central American Newspapers Encouraging Illegal Immigration, children are being sent northward because of the policies of the United States government:

“During their stay, in addition to accommodations and food, children receive English classes, play sports and participate in targeted programs while immigration authorities contact their families,” La Prensa of Honduras wrote, Newsmax reported Wednesday.

Diario El Mundo in El Salvador, meanwhile, quoted Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson as praising the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

“Almost all agree that a child who crossed the border illegally with their parents, or in search of a father or a better life, was not making an adult choice to break our laws and should be treated differently than adult violators of the law,” he told the paper.

President Obama enacted the policy in 2012, granting temporary legal status to many young illegal immigrants and ending the threat of their deportation for two years or longer.

How is Arizona being impacted by loose and impractical immigration policies?

• Arizona orders 2,000 mattresses in rush to provide for swarm of unaccompanied migrant children housed in crumbling air base
• Arizona sends supplies to illegal immigrant children 'dumped' in warehouse
• 300 more immigrant children shipped to Arizona
• Scores of undocumented migrants dropped off in Arizona
• HUMPHRIES: Exclusive interview with Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio

America is not stable. Our economy is in a depression. Our monetary system is rigged. Americans cannot afford new mattresses for themselves, yet other countries feel that the American taxpayer owes them a better life. 

People on Visas in America have to be self-sufficient and are unable to collect any type of public assistance. However, if you cross the border illegally, it appears that necessary rules and laws do not apply.  Why does the United States Federal Government believe we have the ability to take care of all these abandoned children?

We have laws. We have immigration laws. In the past few decades, these laws have been ignored, bashed, and unused so someone can "reform" our unbroken laws for their benefit. The question is: Who is benefiting?

The American people cannot find jobs, house all their population, feed everyone that already lives here, or  correct the financial system against middle class wealth creation.

So who is benefiting from the influx of illegal aliens that have continued across our borders for the past few decades?

It is not the United States' job to house, cloth, and assist the entire world. There are hundreds of other countries who can be of service instead of the poverty stricken middle class.

In the case of Elian Gonzales: "Asylum under the INA. Under § 208 of the INA, “[a]ny alien who is physically present in the United States . . . may apply for asylum.” At core issue in the Gonzalez case was whether the phrase “any alien” was sufficiently unclear to leave the Attorney General  discretion to refuse to accept an asylum application by or on behalf of a minor without  parental consent."

As our Federal Government creates this "Humanitarian Crisis" through Free Trade agreements and the North American Union that only benefit wealthy corporations as well as urges the American taxpayers to have "compassion." 

Where is the compassion and jobs for the American people?

The only true Humanitarian Crisis is the crisis of poor leadership, abandoning our Constitution and laws, and emotionally blackmailing Americans to usher in a government "Solution" that neither benefits Americans nor the legal immigrants who are already here.

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" 

Maybe the end of that poem should read: 

For we have these masses unfree, suspect

Already sleeping in our streets.

What will we do with more than 

We have to feed, clothe, and house

When we cannot educate them

With one, two, and three?

What are we to do, Mr. President?

Shall we give up more of our Liberties

for wars and terrorists of your own making?

We have a golden door, but no one is allowed to enter.

Unless your name is Bush, Cheney, Clinton, yours?

Americans are kind and generous 

and willing to help those  in need.

For now, Americans need you to be

the President of Change they voted for.

Not the same that asks of them to repent

for injustices you and your elites have sent.

Enough, Mr. President.

Abide by our laws and enforce our laws and border security.

____________________________________

 

A few lines appeared in today's sky as the clouds moved out of the state. Mostly Sunny and Partly Cloudy conditions are being forecast for later this week and into the weekend, expect some geoengineering activities during these times.

As always, if lines are present in the sky, shelter yourself. Chemicals of toxic and unknown origins are being discovered in the residue of geoengineering. Decontaminate yourself with a shower, detox with diet and supplements, and have an indoor air cleaning system that filters out nanoparticulates.

And call and email your local, state, and federal politicians against approving and funding this "research."

While in a lull of activity, here is an article for perusal: How to Document NEXRAD Weather Modification Using Weather Satellite Video + Data.

The wind and high pressure has made little excuse to cross up the sky in Phoenix this past week. Not to say, lines in the sky were not visible in the clouds of the passing low front, there were. 

This next week Phoenix will have sunny skies and high pressure. With the hot temperatures and windy  weather, Phoenix should not see much in the way of lines in the sky. 

A beautiful week is on tap.

If that changes, the VDP Gazette will publish an article.

__________________________________

Most American cities feel like this.

By 8am this morning, the geoengineering planes had begun making tracer marks in the sky. As the high pressure system that is bringing hot temperatures to Phoenix fades in response to a low pressure windy and cooler system, the geoengineering "research" planes were out in full force. 

Tracer in the Western sky.

The wind conditions in the upper atmosphere made keeping the radar tracer marks difficult to maintain so before noon, the planes had to remark the skies with chemical lines.

This atomspheric tampering happened throughout the afternoon and part of the evening today. 

Due to the windy conditions for the next few days the optimal weather to spray lines in the sky will be on Thursday. Thursday could be a heavy day of GeoEngineering so keep inside with an air cleaner that takes chemicals and nanochemcials out of your indoor air, if lines are present in the skies. 

Days after that show "Sunny" conditions over Phoenix, not "Mostly Cloudy" or "Partly Cloudy" therefore the forecast for GeoEngineering will be at a minimum at least until next Sunday's report.

Documentation and evidence below today's photolog are about the government's direct involvement in geoengineering. 

Over Downtown Phoenix

Directly over the photographer's house.

Over Downtown Phoenix again

 

These photos could be chalked up to "contrails" by a skeptical person if it weren't for the government documentation like the Air Force's Chemistry 131 Course book called "Chemtrails" and associated patents, the evidence cannot be dismissed anymore and neither can people's concerns:

From the Dept of Defense

Here's the link to the actual textbook for the Chemtrail Coursework.  

Lines of chemicals in the sky are not "research" or a field of study; this action is chemical and biological domestic terrorism on an unsuspecting public. The only reason the word "research" is used is to circumvent United States and international laws. "Research" means the government and military are allowed to experiment on their populations.

Isn't it time to stop calling people names like "Conspiracy Theorist" and start questioning our elected officials?

Time for unethical and dangerous "research" needs to end.

Wispy clouds and sporadic lines in the Sky, April 27.

April 27th began with a leaving cold front and associated clouds pushing eastward. 

Some man-made lines were detected in the sky as well as  jets making lines overheard, but for the most part, Sunday was a quiet geoengineering day.

With some frontal boundaries headed toward Arizona with windy weather and gusts, this week should be a lull in the chemical spray activity. 

Friday and Saturday may see some chemical lines but the forecast shows Sunny days instead of Partly Cloudy; hence, the chances of geoengineering ruining the end of the week look slim.

Have a great week full of blue skies and fresh air. 

The Fluoridation Equation and Movie Night. The Great Culling: Our Water

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Fluoride / City Water Poisoning
______________________________________

After the cities have placed toxic poisons into the water supply masked as dental remedy, we discover just how toxic and unsustainable fluoridation is. 

In the documentary, The Great Culling: Our Water, dentists, organic chemists, scientists amongst others show without a shadow of a doubt that fluoride mandated into the public water supply is not only wrong but criminal. 

The City of Phoenix upheld fluoridation of the public water back in 2012. What is wrong with these people? 

 The Great Culling: Our Water

The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia. It has been referred to as an American Stonehenge. The person or group that paid for its construction is a mystery. Inscribed on its stones are ten commandments, written in twelve languages, for what it describes as an Age of Reason. Many believe it is an agenda for the New World Order.

The first commandment is: "Maintain humanity under 500 million in perpetual balance with nature." Since the world population now stands at over seven billion, that means the commandment calls for the elimination of 93% of the world's population.

THE CULLING ALREADY HAS BEGUN
The Great Culling of the human race already has begun. It is being done through chemicals added to our drinking water, food, medicines, and the air we breathe -- chemicals that have the known effect of reducing fertility and shortening lifespan. This message can no longer be dismissed as conspiracy theory. The facts are in plain view.

This documentary is the first of a three-part series. It shows how additives to our drinking water, such as fluoride, supposedly to combat tooth decay, in reality are covert doses of death. It also shows how you can protect yourself and your family.

If you don't believe that fluoride is a concern, then go check your toothpaste... one pea sized amount accidentally swallowed is enough to send you to the hospital, especially if you are a child:

Three ingredients found in most toothpastes pose health risks if too much is ingested, according to Miskewitz. Sorbitol, a liquid that keeps toothpaste from drying out, is a laxative that could cause diarrhea in children. Sodium lauryl sulfate, an ingredient that makes toothpaste foam, can also be a diarrheic. But the fluoride poses the most danger if too much toothpaste is swallowed — particularly to younger children.

The question becomes: how much are your drinking in your water, sodas? Eating in your foods? How about this for an answer:

The amount of fluoride they're talking about is a quarter milligram of fluoride, contained in a pea size amount of toothpaste.

But here is the kicker, This is the same amount of fluoride you find in 8 oz of water. Yet toothpaste carries a "Do not swallow" warning, whereas you're typically told to drink eight 8oz glasses of water each day, without any concern for the amount of fluoride you will ingest. Commercial Toothpaste also contains toxic formaldehyde as a filler which is used as embalming fluid! I recommend using Natural Toothpaste for all your family.

No matter how you take your forced medication having fluoride in the water does not make teeth healthier; it makes the overall health of a community weaker. Fluoride is a poison plain and simple. Didn't you know you were drinking chemical waste from China? Fluoride used to be used as rat poison, and still is...

Fluoride is an extremely toxic ion; near sources of fluoride air pollution, vegetation is destroyed, animals get sick and die, and people suffer eye irritation, respiratory problems, or more serious symptoms of fluoride poisoning. But fluoride can be dangerous even in very tiny amounts, because many plants and animals accumulate the ion in their tissues. Over several months or years, even the faintest measurable traces of fluoride can add up and cause harmful effects.

As a pollutant, fluoride has sufficiently severe effects, and is widespread enough, that the American Association for the Advancement of Science named fluoride the third most serious air pollutant in the country, (after SO2 and ozone) in December 1966. More than fifty kinds of industries – including those producing aluminum, steel, phosphate, oil, brick, and glass – use raw materials containing fluorides or add fluorides to their products during processing. Coal, which is burned in massive amounts to provide electric power and heat, contains many fluoride impurities that are released to the atmosphere by burning.

And yes, fluoride is also in air pollution. Fractured bones, thyroid disease, cancer, how are these illnesses outweighed by the nonexistent good that water fluoridation does for the community?

Upset yet? If you still believe fluoride in the water supply is healthy for teeth and children, then you really need to watch tonight's VDP Gazette Presentation.

When will the City of Phoenix's leaders take this category 4 hazardous waste material out of our water supply? The city is poisoning everyone especially children and minorities. Read the VDP Gazette's Fluoride Poisoning in a Fluoride Worshiping World for more information.

At the cost of around $582,000 a year to poison the tax payers, couldn't we use the money for something more appropriate like the cure for cavities, which is nutritious food for children instead of poisoning everyone and creating more serious public health crises?

Harvard Study: Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Isn't fluoride supposed to be good for children? Guess not.

Why are we fluoridating our city water again? Oh, for more symptoms of fluoride poisoning like the effects of fluoride on your brain:

•   Reduction in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
•   Damage to your hippocampus
•   Formation of beta-amyloid plaques (the classic brain abnormality in Alzheimer's disease)
•   Reduction in lipid content
•   Damage to purkinje cells
•   Exacerbation of lesions induced by iodine deficiency
•   Impaired antioxidant defense systems
•   Increased uptake of aluminum
•   Accumulation of fluoride in your pineal gland

Plus more! Fluoridation of city water supplies causes more harm than good. Unless of course wasting tax payer money, poisoning children, and creating a public health crisis are the goals of this unlicensed experiment. That, or our city leaders give more credence to unreasonable mass medication of the public and outright fabrications of fluoride's benefits, than actual facts. Maybe our leaders have been drinking too much of the city water. 

Isn't it time Phoenix grew up and became unfluoridated?

Achoo! Don't Catch a Parent's Worse Nightmare: Excuses of Affluenza

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Parenting / Society

______________________________

"I want to give my kids what I didn't have." 

This statement can be heard from many parents from the Generation X crowd. Society gives kids trophies for just showing up. Hard work is eliminated in lieu of removing competition from sports, games, and life. 

"We don't want to harm their self-esteem." Are you kidding? Competition, success and failure, is what creates self-esteem. 

Now these children have grown up feeling entitled to first place when they did not bother to even sign up for the marathon. 

These quasi adults cannot function. Coping skills have never been taught to them. They skate through life living in their parents home without jobs or responsibilities. 

The role of the parent is not to give a child everything you didn't have; parents are supposed to give their children the tools, emotional and mental, to be successful in the world. The world outside of the home is formidable. The world is harsh and uncaring. 

Parents need to teach their children how to handle injustice and sociopathic behavior found at work. Teach how to correct these errors with kindness and resolve. For denial of justice to one person, is a denial of justice to all. 

Instead parents have not set boundaries or limits to their child's wants, needs, or expectations. As parents, do we fail our children because:

1. We don’t understand the future implications of giving them everything they want right now
2. We want them to have the life we didn’t
3. We are afraid to tell our children no because we know there will be backlash or because we think they will feel loved if we say yes.
4. We want them to fit in with their peers because it’s hard to be different.
5. We feel it’s often easier just to give in
6. We struggle with a bit of affluenza ourselves

In your life, have you failed yourself by exhibiting these behaviors:

1. Do you frequently buy things you do not really need?
2. When shopping, are you unable to control how much you spend?
3. Do you envy the lifestyles of the rich and famous?
4. Do you feel bad when your neighbors have things you do not?
5. Do you measure yourself by what others have?
6. Do you ever use shopping as a means of escape?
7. Do you use your possessions to impress others?
8. Do you compare your possessions with what your peers have? If so, do you experience a feeling of superiority that yours are better?
9. Do you speak often about the things you want?
10. Do you find yourself complaining about the things you want but cannot afford?
11. Do you think of spending your money more often than saving it?
12. Do you often think your life would be more complete if you had more money and possessions?

So as a person and a parent are you too suffering from the signs of Affluenza? Perhaps adults need to reign in their negative tendencies and be a good role model for their children. 

Maybe the best solution to the situation is to turn off television, start living in the moment, stop wanting what others have, and become a real person. The first start is to tell yourself: no. Then your friends: no. Then your children: no.

No, it's not feasible. No, it's not responsible. No, we cannot afford that. No, that's not happening ever. 

Society and culture vis-a-vis the television, movies, and magazines are not there to raise you or your children. It's entertainment. A fiction wrapped in a pretty bow.

What is real is knowing your limits and setting them for you and your family.

Affluenza is not an excuse. It's not even a word. It was made up to keep a child who murdered four people out of prison. 

Don't catch what doesn't exist. Be a good parent and just say: "no." No is a powerful tool that raises great adults.
