Misty Griffin appeared on a recent episode of the Cults to Consciousness podcast to discuss her traumatic childhood at the hands of her 'psycho stepdad and a sadistic mother.'

Media portrayals of human trafficking and exploitation feature scary-looking strangers who abduct children and force them into a dark underworld. Parents then feel reassured that their children, sleeping safely in the next room, are not being abused. It is much scarier to think that a coach, teacher, aunt or uncle could pose a threat to them. But to best protect our children, we must look at what we know about who traffickers are and how they groom their victims. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/spot-human-traffickers-children-19388199.php ▫️Human Trafficking Awareness Event – White River Now – Batesville, AR Join us for an informative awareness event where our speakers will teach us what human trafficking is, how to recognize it, prevention, ways to get involved, Q&A, and more.

Oh, by the Way .... This MONSTER needs CLOCKED & LOCKED away from Children!! How did this PEDO star on a children's TV show?

The Saga of USAF Senior Airman Lance Castle ... This is so outrageous and I pray there is more to this. If there isn’t more to this other than refusing a deadly vaccine, every single person from the top of the chain of command to those involved in this disastrous action directed against a fellow airman must be held accountable. The loss of trust in our armed forces is showing a weariness in the ranks and the inability of our armed forces to accomplish their directed missions is unacceptable. Our military must be trained and prepared to fight and win our nation’s wars. In years of running interrogation operations against the worst of our enemies, we never treated anyone like this U.S. Air Force Senior Airman was treated. Totally unacceptable behavior top to bottom.
