Tuesday “coming for the kids” Open Comments

First:”We just want to live our lives.”  Then it was “Gay marriage won’t go far, we just want our rights.” Then the slippery slope led to throuples, drag queens in schools and libraries, transgenderism…now the slope leads us to this:

This Group Wants to “Affirm” Pedophilia

B4U-ACT is part of a growing movement to legitimize sexual attraction to children.

An alarming new movement insists that sexual attraction to minors is not a psychiatric disorder to be managed but an identity to be affirmed. Leading this effort is B4U-ACT, a Maryland-based organization founded in 2003 to support pedophiles, or as they call them, “Minor-Attracted Persons” (MAPs). …which seeks to help clients accept their “age of attraction” as an intrinsic and valid part of their identity. This approach abandons clinicians’ traditional risk-management focus when treating pedophiles and raises serious concerns about public safety.

/snip

 Researchers and clinicians … aim to understand the condition and develop prevention strategies. They are in a tough position: to get pedophiles to participate, they must create nonjudgmental environments where they feel safe … Working with pedophiles can help prevent child abuse, but the public often wrongly accuses these professionals of condoning it.

Researchers typically distinguish people with pedophilic inclinations from those who act on them, and believe that such impulses can be effectively managed with cognitive-behavioral therapy, medications that lower sexual drive, and structured support groups.

************

I’m sorry, but any attempt to “normalize” sexual attraction to children will be a slippery slope that gives me pause.  Big pause. Big, big, big pause.

I’ll never forget the images of the huge gay pride parades, with the hundreds of strangely dressed – or not dressed – homosexuals, transgenders, cross-dressers, etc., chanting “We’re here! We’re queer! And we’re coming for your children!”

    While plowing through several large manilla envelopes containing really important stuff like our and our parents’ birth certificates, baptisms, parents’ marriage dates listed in the county where it was performed, our marriage e dates lotsa personal stuff needed for ID over the years, deeds and records of purchas and sale of our first house in Houston.

    And then I opened and old envelope that had several family items in it. including a letter from my father in the US Naval Reserve, stationed in New York City, written before he was sent to England on February 10, 1944.
    I was 3 years old.

    “Dear Adrienne,

    This is the first letter I have ever written you. I hope that you are a good girl and that you grow up to be a fine lady.

    I have to leave our county to do my duty so that you and all the other little boys and girls may grow up in a free country where you will have every opportunity to be happy. I shall think of you often. You are an adorable
    child, and I know that you will be a good girl.

    May God bless you and look after you. All my prayers are with you. Be good to your mother and mind what she says.

    A world of love to you, my darling.

    From
    Your Daddy”

    Today was the first day I ever knew this exhisted.

        Yes he did, by the Lord’s grace. He was a lawyer in the Navy’s Judge Advocat General branch and in London most of the time.

        Closest he came to injury was when a German bomb exploded in London about a block away from his office. There was a huge result of the hit that made the earth move outward from its center and in a big ball rolling of energy that ran through the ground, under the outside wall of the basement where they were, across the basement, and out under the opposite wall.

        Dad said that was the damndist thing he’d ever seen.

    HT: Racket News Substack

    Andrew Lowenthal is a familiar name to many Racket readers. He worked with Matt Taibbi on the Twitter Files and played an instrumental role in developing Racket’s top 50 list of organizationsthat are part of the Censorship-Industrial Complex.
    We’ve reconnected with Lownethal in the last few weeks because of an impressive new searchable database developed by his nonprofit group, liber-net, on U.S. government grants awarded to groups to fight mis/disinformation. We first reported on the database here.

    Racket News is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    Upgrade to paid

    It breaks down government grants in the mis/disinformation space going back to 2010. It gives the amounts, of course, but also descriptions and commentary about the grants with links to official information on USAspending.gov, plus a ratings system of one to five flags for each grant. Roughly 100 of 867 grants since 2016 have at least four flags. 
    Lowenthal also writes about what he’s learning from the database on his Network AffectsSubstack. Last week, for example, he analyzed which organizations and countries received the most U.S. mis/disinfo grants.

    I had to run a bank errand today, and when I got back, I started on some dishes and putting some groceries away. I transformed a 3 lb. chub of ground beef into seasoned patties and those are in the oven. I’m cooking those so I can either put them in the freezer while I’m out of town, or take them with me.

    I’m watching Carl Higbie right now, and boy is he het up about government taking folks’ land.

    Skipping a bit of the column, we get to this story:

     In related news, Idaho’s legislature is getting closer to approving the very first broad medical freedom law in the country. The Idaho Capital Sun ran the story headlined, “Idaho House passes revised ‘medical freedom’ bill, after tense debate.” Idaho Governor Brad Little vetoed a previous version of the bill, which would ban local governments and businesses from requiring citizens to get any particular medical treatment to obtain services.

    /snip

    The two stories —Trump’s gain-of-function order and Idaho’s tenacious medical freedom bill— evidence the strength and persistence of public backlash to pandemic overreach. This isn’t over. It’s not even close to being over. Public health and its pseudo-scientific collaborators will rue the day. They should self-deport to France. I’d even kick in to cover the plane fare.

    I caught Matt Walsh’s show yesterday, and he was, as usual, blunt and to the point:

    …Matt hopes that Shiloh raises another $600K, because he persuasively argued the Shiloh Hendrix story represents the death of cancel culture:

    CLIP: Matt Walsh supports Shiloh in the ‘controversy’ (23:00).

    … He also recognizes that she does need the money, given the vitriol and powerful forces assembled against her. …and he thinks that at least some of the donations to Shiloh’s fundraiser were motivated by public outrage at the effort to destroy Shiloh’s life just for a random overheated comment that other people don’t like.

    Unlike me, Matt did find something unintentionally heroic in the story: “Shiloh Hendrix is cancel culture’s final boss,” Matt explained.

    Walsh opines that all of the money that Shiloh was given, was done to send a message. We are wissing tired of being called racist at the drop of a hat; of the over-the-top response to the smallest of racially based, perceived errors; and the crushing attempt by the left to shut down their political opponents, and if someone’s life becomes collateral damage, so be it.

    Mr. C. reminds us that racial conflict is good for some things. Some bad things:

    It is uncontroversial that this kind of operation is part of the classic deep-state regime-change playbook, and the tactic of using race to create political change has a long pedigree. Practically since day one —when the first Soviet spy arrived here in 1916— communists repeatedly and often expressed a desire to gin up a race war to help overthrow America’s capitalist government. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union and its proxies openly funded and trained members of the Black Panther Party and other radical race groups.

    Later, KGB archives (e.g., the Mitrokhin Archive) confirmed that the Soviets saw racial unrest in the U.S. as fertile ground for subversion.

    /snip

    With the Trump Agenda moving full speed ahead, it seems an opportune time for some adversary to foment domestic social unrest. I’m not making any claim; but I am saying we must be extra suspicious of these kinds of “organic” social movements, especially when they aggressively invade race relations and pop up right when it would be most convenient for the deep state.

    Question everything.

    More C&C: breaking down the reaction to the event

    Shiloh’s incendiary story sits squarely at the intersection of immigration politics, “white supremacy,” race relations, cancel culture, and white guilt. But the racial components are not nearly as unambiguous as critics would like.

    Shiloh was actually in a relationship with a fully pigmented man before, and proof is on the internet. Strike one. Also, all of the excitement highlights the rareness of the event. Why such news coverage on a “common” event? Ergo – uncommon event, so racism isn’t so common after all.

    Compare that elevation of outrage to the fundraising success for Karmelo Anthony, who stabbed his white classmate.

    …Citing free speech, GiveSendGo defiantly refused to shut down the comments to Anthony’s fundraiser even though they were filling up with slogans like “Death to White People!”

    When I tell you the Anthony comments were off the chain, believe it. …

    GSG refused to shut down “free speech” on the Anthony fundraising page, despite it’s super-hyped and highly outrageous comments, but…

    But a month later, after Shiloh’s fundraiser hit $500,000, GiveSendGo finally closed the comments on both campaigns. This morally questionable move proved the link between the two cases. GiveSendGo clearly knows the two campaigns are related, since it has the data to confirm that.

    To be honest, Shiloh’s campaign had its fair share of despicable comments, too. Folks are just plain angry. Adulting has not been taught, and people can’t manage their emotions. Obama built that, btw. He made it okay for black people to act like toddlers with poor impulse control, and I believe that those overreactions have bled into all of the communities against whom they protest.

    We all just need to get along, accept the fact that we are going to be faced with unpleasantness in this life, and realize that what goes around comes around. Victimhood may somehow justify bad behavior, but as a society we need to teach our kids that the locus of control in their lives comes from within, and not from outside sources. Victims put their locus outside of themselves, therefore they are not responsible for their bad behavior. Non-victims see their mistakes and fix them, because they realize they are in control of their lives and behavior.

    Adulting. Just do it.

    Mr. C. covered this story yesterday, of a mother supposedly using the n-word towards a kid who was trying to steal her boy’s stuff at a playground. A video was captured of the videographer confronting the mother and her (Shiloh) reaction to being confronted.

    The man whipped out his phone and followed Shiloh around, videoing her and demanding she admit she’d uttered the forbidden word. She gave him a predictably obscene response, and the clip ends with the man saying forbodingly, “okay, we’ll see what the Internet thinks about you.”

    NBC reported the man and the child were Somali immigrants, part of a large group “relocated” into Rochester during President Autopen’s scribbly reign of terror.

    The media tried to dox her out of existence, there was even a call for her little boy to be made “past tense” because he would likely grow up to be a Hitler with a mother like her.

    I am not exaggerating. Of course, that threat came from a man with full pigmentation, so nothing will happen to him.

    In response to the clamor for her death and destruction, Shiloh started a fund-raising page. She asked for donations to get herself and her child out of Dodge, moving somewhere safer than New Somalia. News spread like wildfire, and small donations soared past $600,000 in four days. That’s when corporate media conveniently forgot about the story, and everyone else became mesmerized.

    OTOH, folks that are tired of this over-the-top race baiting reactions responded by highly funding a GiveSendGo account for her. Let’s just say that the Left was highly confounded at the reaction. And there’s this:

    GiveSendGo has been swamped with fake Shiloh accounts. Don’t bother trying to find the right one, it’s too late. The search feature also seems to have been gimmicked to make it impossible to find. Shame on GiveSendGo.

    Time for the C&C before I have to run errands again:

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! It’s another day in post-election paradise, with a delightful roundup: I dive into the Shilox Hendrix fracas and try to add insight missing from the hot takes, such as why we should be cautious about drawing quick conclusions; DHS begins paying illegal immigrants to leave and giving them free plane tickets to get home; Europe encourages woke American scientists to self-deport; Trump signs sweeping executive order banning some types of gain of function research; Kennedy makes spicy comments; and Idaho pursues historic medical freedom bill.

    Well, my morning routine was blown all to heck today. Hubby had an imaging and pre-surgery consult this morning, and as I was getting my coffee brewed I got a phone call – Hubby’s new baby broke down and I had to go rescue him. I warned him that he broke down near a Hobby Lobby, so after we and Handyman got him connected with his work truck & trailer, I stopped off there to see if it’s bead collection was different than my usual store.

    It was. It was! /happy dance! /

    While I was picking out new rosary stuff, an elderly woman with a cane in her basket arrived with her daughter. They were selecting seed beads. I asked what they were going to do with their beads. Daughter explained that her mother had made beadwork to cover her Dad’s cane and she was going to make one for hers now. “Oh, I’m getting beads because I make rosaries,” I said. Her face lit up. “I give them away. Would you like one?” She was very excited and told her mother. They loved what I had in my purse stash, and Daughter asked if I took donations. “It helps buy beads, so yes,” I replied. She handed me several bills. I could tell one of them was a twenty. “Are you sure?” I asked. She insisted. As her mother picked out a rosary for herself and two for others, Daughter kept pushing money at me. I tried to wave her off, but she insisted. As I told Hubby, charity is a two way street – if there’s no one willing to accept charity, the giver is denied the graces that come with giving. I wasn’t about to fight with her in the aisle of Hobby Lobby, either. I had no idea what she was handing me. It could have been English pounds for all I knew, but whatever those bills were, she wouldn’t let me give them back. I thanked her and said that her donations would fund today’s bead buying.

    Finally, rosary selections were completed, and I told Daughter that they had been blessed. “Mom, did you hear that?! They’re blessed, too!” Before I left, she held my hand and prayed over me, calling me a blessing, and asking the Lord to continue blessing the work of my hands. I can’t remember anyone praying over me before.

    On the way out, I managed to give away two more. A beautiful little girl got a purply-bluey one. She said her brother Malachi would like a blue one. I just happened to have one blue, single-decade rosary left. Mom was very thankful. The smile on the little one made my heart smile.

    Sometimes, what I do means I get paid in ways that I can’t put into the bank account.

    PS: Yes, I spent $75 on beads today, and Daughter’s donations more than paid for them. Blew me away, once I counted the bills. I never expected that. I thought they’d be ones or, at most, fives.

    Israeli-American writer Benjamin Kerstein enunciates eight tenets of what he calls “the professoriate regime” of the left:

    1. Democracy is dismissed as a conspiratorial lie. This is often done by asserting that the American republic is fraudulent, rooted in slavery and genocide, and controlled by a cabal of billionaires.

    2. Any form of legal or political authority—except for the professoriate regime—is portrayed as inherently oppressive and evil, thus absolving the regime and its minions of any responsibility to adhere to the law and their own codes of conduct. In particular, the police are depicted as a malevolent force that must be entirely dismantled.

    3. Violence is consistently used under the guise of non-violence, leading to the justification of mob actions, physical assaults, incitement to genocide, and similar activities as forms of “protest.”

    4. The professoriate regime, its minions, and progressives in general should never be held accountable for their crimes and transgressions. Therefore, absolute impunity is demanded as a moral right.

    5. Freedom of speech, except for that of the regime, is considered the enemy of the good and must be suppressed.

    6. Rational thought itself is dismissed in favor of “lived experience,” emotional reactions, personal “truth,” and so on.

    7. The ultimate goal is fundamentally totalitarian, as evidenced by the totalitarian nature of today’s academia. The regime aims to extend the system it has established in academia to the rest of society by “any means necessary,” including both legal and illegal methods.

    8. The term “racist” is used so broadly that it can mean almost anything. Thus, it can be employed to undermine any opposition to the regime and its supporters while also justifying their actions—regardless of their ethical, moral, or legal implications. Whether or not something is actually racist is irrelevant, and questioning it can only be seen as evidence of the questioner’s own racism.

      There has been a lot criticism in Israel of the IDF’s strategy since shortly after they entered Gaza. I thought it was justified because the “clear and withdraw” doctrine seemed, uhm…stupid. Hamas figured that out quickly and had the IDF wasting time and energy clearing the same areas over and over. I will allow the Blinken State Dept probably had some influence in these tactics.

      Netanyahu should have replaced the IDF leadership immediately after October 7th, 2023. They were, after all, the same leaders who ignored warnings, rejected glaring clues and let over 1,200 fellow countrymen be slaughtered. Why Bibi left them to run things for so long is something I don’t understand. The new command should do the job right this time.

    Houthi terrorists got a lucky shot at Israel on Sunday with a missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport, wounding four — and the IDF wasted no time in striking back at prime Houthi-held real estate in Yemen. 

    Details are still a bit thin, but the videos are… explosive.
    Reports vary — between 30 IAF jets and up to 50 in a joint operation with the U.S. — but either way, it was big.

      At this stage, seeing as how the town is blatantly violating their own ordinances and the plain reading of the First Amendment, those behind this should face criminal prosecution. What a great, well deserved, bunch of people to be made examples of. They keep doing this sort of thing because there is never any downside or penalty. If the risk of fine or punishment becomes significant, the cowards will back down.
