How can survivors of childhood sexual-abuse find love and friendship as adults? How can we navigate friendships in a world where one in three women are abused before the age of eighteen? Phoenix and Aria discuss the difficulties faced by survivors of abuse who seek intimate connections.
Risks in Reporting
After escaping a Freemason-pedophile cult — and her parents — Aria was soon physically attacked by other cult members. In this article, Aria (pictured above, as a child) describes the dangers faced by those who escape. She also explains the risks of reporting sexual-assault by cults to the police.
Signs of Abuse
Aria and Phoenix descrive the signs and signals given out by children who are being abused. How can responsible adults identify children who are being molested and offer help and support? Should adults re-interpret outbursts of anger from children as cries for help, and offer support?
The Price of Fashion
Why do children turn to drugs to self-medicate their pain? Aria describes her experiences of drug-abuse at a London school. She explains how the sexual-abuse of students by multiple 'teachers' at the school would routinely drive students into the cars of drug-dealers who lay in wait outside the school-gates.
Failures of Therapy
Phoenix and Aria discuss the tragedy of modern psychotherapy. Power and 'authority' has fractured our societies to the extent that we don't have a sense of community anymore. Trauma that would once have been healed by a tribal-collective is out-sourced to peculiar strangers called 'therapists'.

The Space Racist
A person who views the world divided into 'bourgeoisie' and 'proletariat' is undeniably a 'communist'. A person who views the world divided into 'black' and 'white' people is equally a 'racist'. Let's take a look at the architecture of division, and how it is designed to be logically inescapable.
Brutalist Treasures
Poland is rich in beautiful 'brutalist' architecture which recalls the golden-age of 70s and 80s science-fiction. These buildings would not look out of place in Alien (1979), Star Wars (1977), or Blade Runner (1982). Who built these masterpieces, and why have they fallen into disrepair?

School vs Prison
Why does it feel like schools have been designed to encourage conformity and crush creativity? Because this is precisely their purpose. Powerful groups are motivated to keep Earth's citizens submissive and stupid. Phoenix and Aria discuss why most education systems reassemble a prison.
