I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them. However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest. Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

🚨 BREAKING: Russia has never been and will never be your enemy! We do not want European raw materials or wealth; we have our own. We absolutely do not need your raw materials. Russia is the richest country in the world in terms of raw materials. We want neither your land nor your territory. Look at the vastness of Russia on the map. It is twice as large as all of Europe. What good would your land do us? What would we do with it? Why do you think Russia is an enemy of Europe? What harm has Russia ever done to you? Have we sold you gas and raw materials at prices lower than those charged by your 'friends'? YES Did Russia sacrifice 20 million people during World War II to get rid of the Nazis? YES Was Russia the first country to help Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic? YES Have we helped Europe during fires and natural disasters? YES What has Russia done to them for them to hate it so much? Russia is not your enemy; your true enemies are your leaders, those who govern you.

It’s officially official. This weekend Turkeys lead archeologist Dr. Cenker Atila reviewed and confirmed that Dr Bakhtar’s Report become an official and key development in the study at Noah’s Ark. Dr. Bakhtar is America’s top rock mechanics expert, a 40 year defense scientist, and inventor of DOD’s Bakhtar Radar, and he just proved that the Durupinar Formation is NOT geological, and that there is a 3 tiered manmade structure beneath the surface with organized hallways, chambers, and corridors. The hallways run over 4 meters high. The “It’s just a pile of rocks” theory by armchair archeologists has just been completely destroyed. Ahhh I’m so excited! It’s all real!!

The City Gate to the Biblical City of Dan, formerly Laish, Genesis 14. This gate is 4,000 years old, and you are looking at something that Abraham saw

Right now, a genocide against Christians, perpetrated by Muslims, is happening in Nigeria. More than 3,000 members of Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo’s church have been killed. And he has already conducted over 200 mass burials for his congregation. This year alone, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Gazans in 3 years of war. But no one seems to care, and the media remains silent. x.com/jvientos/statu…

🚨BREAKING: Pastor Hills Emmanuel has been found dead in Plateau State, Nigeria. He was abducted Friday with Pastor Gabriel Joseph Dipak while traveling from Jos to Bokkos. Gunmen set a roadblock on the Barkin Ladi–Bokkos road — witnesses said less than a mile from military checkpoints. They pulled the two pastors from a minivan carrying nine people. Emmanuel’s body was found Saturday near the abduction site. He was a former Dunamis pastor and founder of The Wonderful Grace of God Evangelical Ministry in Bokkos. Dipak was still in captivity as of Saturday. The abductors had contacted his family. The same night, other attacks were reported across Plateau. At least four more people were killed in separate incidents in three local government areas. Mainstream media and celebrities won't say a thing about this. Keep praying for the persecuted church!
