Student Safety in the USA

 


More than 180 US universities, colleges denounce Trump’s ‘political interference’

Lawyers say up to 4800 students had visas cancelled and may be forced to leave the USA


American mother, daughters terrorized by ICE in botched search for immigrants: Report

The victims report the thugs fraudulently said they were FBI this was not true and they robbed all the cash all their paperwork and electronics and trashed the house.

The thugs claim complete immunity for their fraud, theft and violence.

According to USA-based media outlet Inside Higher Ed, 1,879 international students at more than 280 universities and colleges had had their status changed. 

American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) said that more than 4,800 student records had been terminated.

NAFSA Association of International Educators said that the revocations were across all types of institutions and that there was no transparency or reasons for the revocations or any clear process for determining what the charges were.

Conclusion 
With gangs of immune thugs roaming the streets and the ability to cancel student visas for any reason - it is not safe to pay any money to travel to the USA, not safe to pay to study in the USA or live anywhere in the USA as an international student.

Psychology of Cults

 


How to talk someone out of a damaging cult


When what seems like the most loving group of individuals with the best ideas ever turns out to be a really big mistake, it is very hard and sometimes humiliating for cult members to admit to the outside world that they were wrong.


10 Things to Know About the Psychology of Cults

Cults are attractive because they promote an illusion of comfort.

Cults satisfy the human desire for absolute answers. 

Those with low self-esteem are more likely to be persuaded by a cult environment. 

New recruits are “love bombed.” 

Cults maintain their power by promoting an “us vs. them” mentality. 

Cult leaders are masters at mind control.

Cult members often have no idea they’re in a cult.



1. Opposing critical thinking

2. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving

3. Emphasizing special doctrines outside law or science

4. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders

5. Dishonoring the family unit

6. Crossing boundaries of behavior

7. Separation from other organizations



How to talk someone out of a damaging cult


This is where you come in again: be there as the unconditionally loving and caring friend or family member that you really are. 


Where the cult judges and condemns its members, you will be there as the person who says: Sure, it is a crazy destructive group, but I understand why you got involved. We all fall for con artists and swindlers once in a while – you still have a lot to offer and I can help you move on with your life.
