God’s Word is “the Truth.”
Greetings Beloved Kin,
I’m reposting a message about the cost of standing in integrity posted by our Kin, Sheila Murray. The “Margaret Mitchell Effect” is a common means of those who hold a position of power to silence those who expose the hidden Truth.
The Truth is the foundation of the Word. Sharing the Truth is an Act of Faith. God will redeem those who stand in integrity.
John 17:17 KJV
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

[EXERPT] The Martha Mitchell Effect: How Truth-Tellers Are Silenced and Dismissed
March 7, 2025 By John Neff
What Is the Martha Mitchell Effect?
Martha Mitchell was one of the first to expose the illegal activities of the Nixon administration, long before the mainstream media or investigators caught on. However, instead of being taken seriously, she was portrayed as mentally unstable. The Nixon administration, knowing the power of her words, worked aggressively to discredit her. She was subjected to character assassination campaigns, labeled “paranoid,” and treated as a hysterical woman prone to exaggeration. The goal was clear: silence her before she could convince anyone to listen.
Her mistreatment wasn’t just rhetorical—it was physical and psychological abuse disguised as “concern” for her mental state.
A Person Speaks Out
Someone—whether a whistleblower, journalist, researcher, or even an ordinary citizen—discovers corruption, deception, or wrongdoing and dares to bring it to light. They might expose government overreach, corporate fraud, media manipulation, or suppressed scientific research. Their claims are often backed by evidence, logic, and firsthand experience, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that they are threatening a powerful narrative—one that those in control have no intention of letting go unchallenged.
At first, their revelations might be ignored, but if their claims gain traction, the system activates its defense mechanisms.
They Are Dismissed or Ridiculed
The first line of defense is mockery and social ostracization. Authorities, mainstream media, and even friends or family may label the truth-teller as paranoid, delusional, or crazy. They are painted as a conspiracy theorist, mentally unstable, or motivated by personal grudges rather than facts.
The goal is to poison public perception before people have a chance to consider whether the truth-teller’s claims have merit. This is an extremely effective tactic because most people don’t want to be associated with someone perceived as irrational or unhinged.
If a person is publicly ridiculed enough, even those who once believed in them may begin to distance themselves to avoid being discredited by association.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
The article outlines the lengths to which the “powers that be” will go to cover up the Truth – without regret.

Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine, plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.
Seed/KAN: Family, sexual activity and the magic of germination are the characteristics of this sun sign. Natural net workers, Seed people strive to free themselves and others from debt or oppressive patterns of the past. Abundance is gathered by Seeds as if with a cast net. Seed persons are public defenders who work toward uniting community by discovering hidden traps and secret influences of others. To generate true abundance, Seed must learn to appreciate all gifts and lessons received and conduct profound investigations into its self. In the absence of gratefulness and the courage to face oneself, Seed finds itself in less than less fertile environments.
A GOOD DAY TO: Plant, make new contacts, reconnect with others.
Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA O’STO: Dragon’s symbol is Draco winding between the Little Dipper and Big Dipper. Dragon is the Corn Spirit, symbol of dual personality of Corn Mother and Maiden. Fertility and pro-creation from generation to generation. The word dragon means ” eye, to look at, to see clearly”. Spirit brings energy of Lawgiver, Justice, vigilance and protective, loyal unto death. Ley lines in China are “dragon lines”, energy is sometimes called “orgone energy”, pyramid power or magnetic force. Pyramids and kivas are collector portals for this energy, known as vortexes. Dragon energy beats a path everywhere, stirring things up with a big stick in tune with the beat of the drum, heartbeat of the Earth.
