There is a lot to this that could be unbeknownst to some here. Butaken as a whole, the prohibitions to me by Mr Hsiung IMHHHO if not posted to me, lives could be saved, addictions and life-ruining conditions could be avoided.
Part of this is that IMHO there is an indoctrination going on here that could persuade the uninformed. And it is so easy to persuade the uninformed. And by the prohibitions to me here, I can not post facts that IMO could mark the difference between you being a live person or a corpse. You see, Mr Hsiung and his deputies can control the content here, and what is much worse, allow anti-Semitic statements and defamation toward me that could cause readers to have a decreased regard or confidence in what I post. That IMHO could lead to the death of I do not know how many, for I think that what facts I could have posted could lead to life and life more abundantly.
If you are a parent, I am asking that you get all the facts you can before you drug your child in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor. Since my speech is repressed here in relation to the prohibitions, and there are years of outstanding requests/notifications from me to Mr Hsiung and his deputy now and his former deputies it is easy for others here to persuade you because you lack the facts that I could post. Yet today, I will have to wait for someone greater than me to have the power to force Mr Hsiung and his lackeys to respond to my years of outstanding requests/notifications.
Here is one post that could give some more aspects of the environment I am facing and I hope that you find out more in order to make a decision.
