Jordan Peterson condemns ‘trans-butchery of minor children’ as ‘a crime against humanity’

From LifeSiteNews
“I was told, you know, Xavier might commit suicide if you don’t (allow him to take puberty blockers)”
Every medical professional who has participated in so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors “should be put in prison for the rest of their lives” for committing these “crimes against humanity,” Jordan Peterson stated in an interview with British TV host Piers Morgan last week.
The best-selling Canadian author, clinical psychologist and journalist was responding to a revelation made during a podcast he conducted in July with business magnate Elon Musk. The owner of ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) shared how he was “tricked” into agreeing to give his son puberty blockers.
“I was essentially tricked into signing documents, for one of my older boys, Xavier,” Musk recalled at the time. “This is before I had really any understanding of what was going on.”
“I was told, you know, Xavier might commit suicide if you don’t (allow him to take puberty blockers),” he said.

“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson interjected during that podcast.
“No reliable clinician ever believed that,” he continued. “There was never any evidence for that. And also, if there’s a higher suicide rate, the reason is because of the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria. And every (…) clinician knows that too. And they are too cowardly to come out and say it.”
“I can’t imagine a therapist doing anything worse than that or sitting idly and remaining silent while his colleagues are doing it; it’s pathetic,” Peterson decried.
“So, I lost my son, essentially,” Musk lamented. “They call it ‘dead naming’ for a reason.”
“So my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” he concluded.
“I think that every single medical professional and psychological professional who has played a role in facilitating the trans-butchery of minor children should be put in prison for the rest of their lives for crimes against humanity,” Peterson responded to Morgan last Thursday.
“It is the worst medical and certainly psychological scandal that I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” he continued. “It’s absolutely 100% unforgivable.”
At least the English-speaking west is suffering from a “psychological epidemic” manifesting itself in a “trans epidemic” based on “pathological” lies that are “beyond belief,” Peterson said.
In the U.S., “at least 8,000 young women (minors) have been subjected to double mastectomies,” the psychologist explained. “And I also know that puberty-blocking drugs are available outside the medical community in the black and gray market at a much higher rate than is occurring within the medical space.”
“And the liars say, ‘those children are now free to show their true identity,’ which is another complete bloody lie,” he emphasized. “It’s so unacceptable.”
Addressing the leftist political parties in the U.S. (Democrats), Canada (Liberals), and the U.K. (Labor), Peterson said, if they believe “it’s a good idea to free up young women in particular to find their true identities as men, there is something seriously sick about you. It’s inexcusable. It’s absolutely inexcusable. There is no evidence whatsoever for any of those gender transformation identity claims.”
Furthermore, he said “the more you know about that surgery, the more it will curdle your spine. It’s experimental medicine conducted by butchering sadists at its absolute worst. What they do to people to transform them into malfunctioning pseudo-members of the opposite sex is far beyond brutal.”
Additionally, evidence has shown “for a very long time that sadists are over-represented in the profession of surgery. And all you have to do is think for about 15 seconds before you can figure out why that might be,” he said.
By their nature, these procedures involving the “sterilization and mutilation of children” are “involuntary” because minors lack the capacity to consent to such “trans-butchery” and therefore such an intervention equates to “a crime against humanity in accordance with UN definitions.”
“And so I just think to call it reprehensible is to barely scrape the surface. And I don’t think it’ll stop till there are the right length of prison sentences for the people who’ve been involved in it,” Peterson concluded.

NEWT GINGRICH: Europe’s Elites Were Finally Told To Take A Look In The Mirror

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Newt Gingrich
In an amazing show of courage, Vice President J.D. Vance offered an intervention for some of our European allies.
That is the best way to think of the two historic speeches he made in France and Germany last week.
In Paris, Vice President Vance pledged the United States would do whatever it takes to lead the world in the development of Artificial Intelligence. He went on to assert that Europe’s automatic response to regulate technological change rather than adapt to it was doomed to fail.

Vance warned the Europeans that the Trump administration would retaliate to protect American high-tech companies from being fined and regulated by the European community.
Then, Vance went to the Munich Security Conference. It is the annual meeting of European leaders concerned about defense and threats to peace. The Vice President shocked the Europeans by launching a frontal assault on the decay of their political system.
As Vance put it:
“But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it’s important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense, the threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values — values shared with the United States of America.”
He then went through a litany of specific complaints about the behavior of different European countries. They ranged from failing to control immigration, suppressing free speech, and Brussels seeking to control and define futures of independent countries such as Hungary and Romania.
The leading French newspaper, Le Monde (their equivalent of the New York Times) asserted that the American Vice President was declaring “ideological war on Europe.”
Le Monde was right. The European elites have been decaying for at least two generations. They hide behind their privileged status and take ideological positions that feel good but are destructive. Europe’s failures are devastating for most everyday Europeans.
I have personal knowledge about this. I have a Ph.D. in Modern European History – and I have lived in France, Germany, Belgium and Italy. As a young Army dependent, we were living in France when the French Army came back from Algeria, killed the French Fourth Republic and brought back General Charles de Gaulle to establish the Fifth Republic.
It is now the longest serving non-royal government in French history.
The European elites value each other’s opinions more than they value serving the people of Europe. The European elites live in a fantasy world of green policies that destroy industries and jobs, welfare policies which destroy the work ethic, and immigration policies which undermine the popular culture. They simply hope for a peaceful world without a strong military.
Meanwhile, state enforced speech codes protect Islamic extremists at the expense of local citizens.
The result has been a steady decline of European culture, economic development, and defensive capacity.
The Afghan Islamist who wounded more than two dozen people and killed a mother and her two-year-old daughter with a car two days before the supposed security conference signals the willful avoidance of reality at the heart of the elite European worldview.
To be clear, I admire European civilization. I believe America is far stronger and safer if Europe is healthy and capable of growing and defending itself.
I hope vice president Vance’s intervention at least starts European elites thinking about what must be done to revive their continent.

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Mariane Angela
President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.
“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.
Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.
“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.
Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.
“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.
It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.
Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.
Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
