Vampires, Reptilians, and Power: David Icke's Anunnaki as a Cultural Metaphor

David Icke frames the Anunnaki as reptilian, fourth-dimensional beings who occupy or “overshadow” human bodies, crossbreed with select bloodlines, drink human blood, and feed on fear and sexual energy. He maps these traits onto classical vampire motifs — eternal life, blood‑drinking, shape‑shifting, and secret societies — and locates the phenomenon inside networks of elite institutions and ritual practice.

The Psychology of Evil and the Weaponization of Morality and Humor

Evil is one of the most enduring and provocative concepts in human thought. From religious doctrine to philosophical inquiry, from horror films to political rhetoric, the idea of evil evokes fear, fascination, and moral urgency. But what happens when individuals believe themselves to be evil — or when they see the world strictly divided into good and evil? What are the psychological and social consequences of such binary thinking? And how can humor, often seen as harmless or cathartic, become a weapon in these moral battles?

Unseen Wounds: Forensic Indicators of Torture When Bruising Is Absent

In forensic pathology the absence of visible bruising or blood pooling does not mean the absence of violence. Torture methods can be deliberately selected to minimize surface discoloration or may leave marks that disappear with time, decomposition, or postmortem handling. Experienced examiners therefore turn to deeper, less obvious evidence: internal injuries, subtle skin changes, histological findings, and the broader investigative context that together can reveal a pattern of inflicted harm.

They Don't Love You If They Don't Pay: Financial Neglect as Open Disrespect


Money is rarely the whole story, but how someone treats shared finances is one of the clearest, least negotiable signals of care and responsibility. If a partner, family member, or housemate repeatedly avoids paying bills, hides contributions, or expects you to shoulder financial obligations while offering little else in return, that pattern shows where they prioritize — and often, they are not prioritizing you.

The Golden Glow: Why Children See Older Family Members as "Godlike"


Children often gaze upon their parents, grandparents, and other older family members with an almost reverential awe, placing them on a pedestal as figures of immense power, wisdom, and unfailing love. This phenomenon, where caregivers are seen as "godlike" beings, is a fascinating and crucial aspect of early childhood development, rooted in a blend of psychological needs, cognitive limitations, and the fundamental role these adults play in a child’s world.

Michael Tanner and Jemel Moody: Folklore, Rumor, or Hidden Figures?

In many cities, local legends grow in the spaces where official records are silent and distrust of institutions runs high. In Buffalo, NY, one such tale concerns Michael Tanner and his counterpart, Jemel Moody. Rumors claim that Tanner is either an undercover FBI agent or a police officer, while Moody is said to move in the shadows — as an undercover officer or even a federal informant. Their alleged exploits span horrifying narratives of trafficking, drug operations, gang associations, and dismantling federal operations. But what do we really know about these two figures, and how much of it is steeped in fact versus local folklore?

I Said "I Love You." He Said "I Love Everyone."


How My Boyfriend’s Response to a Wild Rumor Became the Sweetest Act of Love

I still remember the day the rumor started. One minute I was just Kathlene — quirky, creative, maybe a little emotionally layered — and the next, someone decided I had multiple personalities. Not metaphorically. Not “she’s got a lot going on.” No, they meant full-blown dissociative identity disorder. Suddenly, I was the talk of the town, and not in a good way.

Buffalo's Debt Collection Scams: A New Breed of Exploitation Targeting the Innocent

Buffalo, NY has become a focal point in recent years for aggressive and deceptive debt collection schemes — many of which target non-criminal civilians, including women and vulnerable individuals, in ways that echo the city’s darker past of notorious collectors and criminal rackets.

Power, Control, and Loyalty: The Anatomy of Criminal Hierarchies


Criminal organizations, like any enduring institution, rely on structure. Beneath the chaos of violence and illicit trade lies a surprisingly rigid hierarchy designed to enforce loyalty, streamline operations, and shield leadership from exposure. Among the most infamous examples is the Sinaloa Cartel, whose evolution offers a window into how criminal empires rise, fracture, and adapt.

Rehabilitation and Risk: Childhood Norms, Antisocial Pathways, and What We Can Realistically Change

Introduction While studying abnormal psychology and serial offenders, I encountered a broader and more troubling pattern: many people carry sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies without ever committing violent crimes. These tendencies arise from interacting biological risks and developmental environments that normalize antisocial strategies early in life. The central question is not whether such people are irredeemable monsters but whether rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and social interventions can reduce harm and alter life trajectories. This essay integrates what we know about definitions, developmental origins, which targets professionals can realistically change, effective treatment approaches, prognosis, and the ethical and policy implications for extreme cases.

Who Goes Down and Who Stays Clean: The Hidden Logic of Criminal Hierarchies

In the underworld of organized crime, jail isn’t just a consequence — it’s a calculated move. From street gangs to transnational syndicates, criminal organizations treat incarceration as a strategic resource, allocating it like currency to protect leadership, maintain loyalty, and obscure the true power structure. The public often sees the foot soldiers — those arrested, charged, and imprisoned — but rarely the architects behind the scenes.

Behind Locked Doors: How Long-Term Psychiatric Institutions Can Breed Dangerous Affiliations

Psychiatric hospitals, state institutions, and long-term forensic facilities are often imagined as places of healing — sanctuaries where the mentally ill receive care, rehabilitation, and a path toward reintegration. But beneath this ideal lies a more complex, often unsettling reality. These institutions can also serve as crucibles where the most dangerous minds — psychopaths, sociopaths, the criminally insane, and individuals with paraphilic disorders — interact, influence, and sometimes evolve together. In environments where nearly 70% of residents have prior incarceration histories, the line between treatment and containment blurs. The question arises: do individuals leave these institutions more socially entangled with antisocial peers than when they entered?

Why Victims Must Sometimes Work With Informants And Undercover Officers


When organized crime, gangs, or targeted actors threaten someone, conventional safety measures often are not enough. Criminal networks exploit gaps in information, anonymity, and coordination; to interrupt that advantage, law enforcement and trusted informants gather on-the-ground intelligence that protects victims and dismantles threats.

Paper Trail or Nothing: Surviving Opportunism in Intimate Spaces

I stopped answering some people a long time ago. They were part of my daily life once — names I could call, faces I could expect at the door — until the promises, the excuses, and the costs piled up until they became unlivable. This is not a score-settling post. It is a close look at a pattern I lived through: how a couple of people, acting like helpers, quietly turned access to shelter, cash, and favor culture into leverage. I am writing this to make sense of what happened, to give other survivors language for the same slow erosion, and to point at the cracks in the systems that should have stopped it.

Why Excessive Agreeing And Imitation Erode Connection

We all mirror people we care about — it’s a fast route to rapport and a quiet way to show love. But when agreement becomes constant and imitation replaces honest expression, the relationship loses its depth. Authentic attraction relies on contrast as much as harmony; individuality signals value, trustworthiness, and emotional safety.

Frontal Lobe Neurobiology, Imaging, and Criminal Patterns: Integrating Prefrontal Dysfunction with Forensic Phenotypes


This article synthesizes evidence linking prefrontal cortex (PFC) structure, function, and connectivity to criminal patterns. It outlines key PFC subregions, neuroimaging methods, recurring imaging signatures found in offender samples, behavioral phenotypes that emerge from prefrontal dysfunction, and the practical, clinical, and legal implications of using frontal‑lobe imaging in forensic contexts. The piece concludes with ethical cautions and research recommendations for more responsible, translational work.

Gender bias in informants and boots on the ground in Buffalo NY: naming, shaming, and costs to high‑risk victims

Gendered slurs and shorthand labels such as “Sinaloa members,” “prostitutes,” “blowjob queens,” “sugar mama,” “Uber,” “sex slave,” “Ubereats,” “crazy,” and others have circulated in Buffalo over the past six years. When those words come from informants, patrol officers, prosecutors, or community boots on the ground, they do more than insult: they reshape investigations, block services, and increase danger for high‑risk victims and domestic violence survivors.

When Perpetrators Claim To Be Police Or Informants


Abusers and rapists sometimes invent or co‑opt identities — claiming to be police informants, DEA/FBI agents, crime lords, or drug dealers — as a way to intimidate, confuse, and silence victims. These false identities serve a tactical purpose: they give perpetrators apparent leverage (threats of retaliation, claims of protection, or promises they can “get” the victim) and they help shift attention away from the abuser’s actions toward a sensational story the abuser controls.

Conflicting Narratives in the Case of Eugene Lawrence Sr

The case of Eugene Lawrence Sr. presents a clash of narratives: in court he insists the killings were acts of self-defense, while family members, associates, and community observers describe years of control, intimidation, and alleged criminal enterprise. With accusations ranging from systematic manipulation to sex trafficking and child abuse, coverage must balance the gravity of allegations with careful verification and respect for vulnerable people involved.

Crazy Sex Versus Trusting Love: Which Fuels True Pleasure

Many people describe "crazy sex" as thrilling, risky, intense, or taboo. Often that thrill comes not just from the acts but from the emotional climate around them — secrecy, unpredictability, power imbalances, or drama. This article compares sex with toxic partners (the classic “crazy” shorthand) to sex inside healthy, trusting relationships, exploring short- and long-term effects, why people chase intensity, and how to choose safety and lasting fulfillment.
