Bernt Herlitz is a Dentist from the Swedish island of
Gotland. He was given the task of analyzing the teeth of “unaccompanied
children” migrants who started to arrive in Sweden. It turned out that wisdom
teeth of the ‘children’ were fully grown in 80 percent of cases, a sign clearly
showing that Herlitz’ patients were far from being underage were actually young
men. “If you have an X-ray you can easily see that the person is over or under
18 years old. About 80 percent were grown-ups,” he said.
Herlitz shared his concerns with an immigration officer who
advised him to file a report about his findings. Yet the reaction from his
employers was not so bright – they fired him, arguing he'd “violated medical
confidentiality”
The dental hygienist then sued his employers and won
damages. But the Region of Gotland appealed to the highest court in Stockholm and hired one of Sweden’s
top-ranking lawyers “to crush” him. He lost his case and also admitted
“economically bankrupted him and his family.” The honest and respected dentist,
who had worked in the sector for 10 years, was fined some 475,000 kroner (about
£60,000).
Experienced psychologist
Dr Kenneth Zucker headed up
CAMH’s Family Gender Identity Clinic for more than 30 years and has
many times been cited as the leading authority on gender dysphoria in children. His 40 years’ experience and research had led
him to the conclusion that affirming a child’s perceived gender can be
counterproductive and believed many urgent and unanswered clinical and
theoretical questions – has been “poisoned by politics”, basically ideology
before evidence and children were being given treatment both hormonal and surgically
to “change” their gender before the physiological aspects has been address
fully first. He was removed from his clinic in Toronto after
being accused of ‘transphobia’
I have recently been introduced to a novelist called Milan
Kundera who newly celebrated his 90th birthday. One of his books has particularly taken my
interest, a work of fiction called “The Joke”
Published in 1967, it concerns the fate of a student called
Ludvik Jahn, who falls foul of the communist authorities when he makes an
inappropriate joke. On a postcard he writes then posts off to his girlfriend, who is at a Communist
party training camp, he writes: ‘Optimism is the opium of the people! A healthy
atmosphere stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky!’ When this is communicated
to party officials back in Prague, he is dismissed from his post at the
students’ union and then kicked out of his university.
The point I am trying to make is about the intolerance of “politically
incorrect” views and how what now seems to be a totalitarian mindset attempts
to cloak itself in the mask of “Progressive Liberalism” and dare I say it? Ironically
free speech which if that its only “free speech” if they agree with you but if
not then it’s hate and bigotry so watch your back!!!
The
Kundera novel is fiction but the other two examples I provided prior are not!!
Always be wary if the feelings you express are at odds with
the prevailing orthodoxy, especially if you voice them, right a report, twitter
or facebook them or in Ludvik’s case…write them on a post card for anyone to
read during the delivery period of publicly
visible…….or of course …if you write on a BLOG
