April 21, 1896: The Aetiology Of Hysteria is published by Sigmund Freud.
Yes, it was published in German originally. As will be seen from the English text, the actual date of his address to the Verein für Psychiatrie und Neurologie isn’t 100% certain, but I’m going with April 21.
Although the reader may find this paper heavy going, even irrelevant, it is, in my humble opinion, incredibly important when it comes to false rape allegations of any historicity. If you don’t want to or can’t read it all, jump to page 203:
“I therefore put forward the thesis that at the bottom of every case of hysteria there are one or more occurrences of premature sexual experience, occurrences which belong to the earliest years of childhood but which can be reproduced through the work of psycho-analysis in spite of the intervening decades.”
The bottom line is that Freud believed women who were not right in the head were that way because they had been sexually abused when they were very young. This view, that young girls are frequently sexually abused, usually by their fathers, boys slightly less so, is one of the disgusting pillars of feminist theory.
The truth is very different. I covered this in my live hangout of September 5, 2019:

but briefly, childhood amnesia and confabulation account for the vast majority of these experiences.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson suggested Freud abandoned his so-called seduction theory under peer pressure. Masson is a crank who was once engaged to Catharine MacKinnon.
It should be noted that this idea goes way beyond early childhood. When there is a rape in a TV soap opera or a documentary about child sexual abuse, rape crisis centres are deluged with phone calls from women who have been triggered to remember a sexual assault from years or decades previously. The women who work for these centres never tell the callers the truth, and not infrequently such allegations lead to police reports, even court cases, sometimes with tragic consequences. And this is before we even begin talking about therapists implanting false memories in the minds of already troubled women.
This interview speaks for itself. She gave me her full name but I have redacted her surname. I find it difficult to believe she was sleeping rough Thursday night because it was extremely cold well after midnight. I also find it difficult to believe she was in effect kicked out of her home by Hyde. The homeless man I interviewed in Bromley last month told me a similar story, and I certainly didn’t believe him.

The following text was published on Substack, June 22, 2026.
The audio file dates from April 2018. It is extracted from a somewhat longer video. I say video but by listening to it rather than watching it, the reader will lose nothing. The video runs to 23 minutes, 13 seconds. This file runs to just under 21 minutes because I have removed irrelevant material, which included a certain amount of profanity. The audio still contains quite a lot of profanity, my apologies for this, but editing it out would lose context not to mention the bile in the narrator’s voice.
I will call this gent only TFM. I have archived the original video file which can be found at this link; please do not view it if you are of a sensitive disposition!
Economics is not TFM’s main subject but he knows more about it than most people. Having said that, he is wrong about the Federal Reserve.
At the beginning, he reads from an e-mail I sent him on April 5, 2018. The ...
If “Chestnuts” sounds extremely simply that is because it is the first piece of music I ever composed, circa 1979. It was written on the acoustic guitar at Chestnut Avenue, Leeds. The jazz musician Xero Slingsby lived in the same house for a time. I found out a year or two ago that he had died young.
This recording was arranged and performed by Diana Bliss in March 2026. Better late than never!
A much earlier recording played (badly) by me on the guitar can be found here:
A slight clarification, Blenheim Square is the name the so-called developers have given this project. The shopping centre is actually called the Blenheim Centre. It also housed the Wilko store which closed sometime ago, and today I noticed the card shop CARD FACTORY had closed. Not that there is much call for cards nowadays.
The square outside the Blenheim Centre is called Empire Square.
