blast from the past

 

(From the Heelers Diaries, Monday 2nd June 2003)

Lunch with the Mam in Dunnes Stores Newbridge. Passed an agreeable few hours.

Visit to Donna in the shop. She was wearing a tee shirt with the slogan "Porn Star" on it. I stared at her with no little fascination. She smiled fearlessly back.

Watched a bit of a TV programme about a child who was found imprisoned in her own home in the US in 1970.

The child had been kept locked in one room for her 13 years of life. She hadn't learned to talk. Her father conveniently killed himself before his court appearance.

The child was handed over to scientists who wanted to study her. (This filled me with anger.)

Worse was to come. The child was sent back to her mother. The same woman who had watched her being violated for 13 years. (I felt violently sick.)

The programme makers saw nothing wrong with the decision to return the girl to her mother. They accepted the ridiculous assertion that the mother was under the spell of the now conveniently dead father. And the child having been rescued was sent right back to hell. (I was shouting a little at the TV now.)

After a while the child was put back into State care as the mother could not mind her. That was the official explanation. The little girl, now an adult, remains to this day institutionalised at an unknown care facility in California.

The scientists who had studied her were interviewed, self righteously claiming they had tried to show her love. (The barbarians, the monsters, the sub humans.)

And there was footage of the little girl running and skipping in the first months of her release. (I knew when I saw it, she could have been saved.)

The scientists said she had learnt words but they also claimed she could not learn to talk properly because of the way her brain had been deprived of early stimulation. Their claim is false. I would suggest that the reason she did not learn to talk was because the scientists held her captive in antiseptic sterile laboratory conditions and abjectly, monstrously and inhumanely failed to place her with a loving family. (The b******s wanted to study her.)

This is what atheists have done to human society.

Satan one, Humanity nil.

I felt so defeated by this television programme. The fact that the programme makers themselves had no sense of the real issues at the heart of the girl's violation. It crushed me. She had been violated first by her parents and then just a grievously by those lawyers, social workers, and scientists who should have moved heaven and earth to save her.

Imagine there were lawyers who actually sought to have that girl brought back to her mother. Imagine the scientists colluding in it. All the lousy malignancies of feminism, Darwinian atheism, and legalism combined.

Damn it.

It was satanic.

Damn, damn, damn.

And then I became aware that the maxims of despair have no purpose. So I did the one thing I could do. I went to visit X. That was the small candle I lit in the darkness of the universe.
