| So, I've had some questions lately, and I'd like to respond and take you on a journey that will be utterly shocking to you. | |
| So people are saying, well, what does Hollywood's discussion of its long history of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, pederasty, pedophilia, you name it, what does that have to do with Trump? | |
| Well, under the Trump administration, pursuit and apprehension and conviction of child sex traffickers, of child molesters, of pedophile rings and so on has gone up enormously compared to Obama. | |
| So this creates a culture wherein you feel that the law might potentially be on your side. | |
| And of course it also removes impediments and fears of blowback and fears of violent retribution. | |
| It removes impediments from the lives of abusers. | |
| So it does take the lid off. | |
| This unholy practice within society and so people feel more confident coming forward. | |
| It is related and that's important to know. | |
| So Hollywood, of course, is now beginning to disgorge its monsters and beginning to confront its history and its current practices. | |
| There are now Agents accused of sodomy. | |
| There is finally discussion of the ways in which powerful men in Hollywood prey upon young boys as well. | |
| And this has all started to come out. | |
| Powerful stuff, important stuff. | |
| And of course it is really fascinating to me. | |
| How much Hollywood invested itself and made movies about child sexual abuse or teenage sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. | |
| This was non-stop. | |
| Thousands and thousands of articles in the mainstream media, unknown numbers, untold numbers of movies about all of this Catholic child sexual abuse. | |
| But There are two areas wherein children are being horribly mistreated, which don't get talked about. | |
| And this is very, very important. | |
| The reason that these two areas that I'm going to talk to you today about, look at that, I've got a hesitation stumble right there. | |
| The reason why these two areas are not talked about is that they are reliable sources of leftist money and leftist votes. | |
| Votes for bigger government, votes for more government spending, votes for the Democrats. | |
| The church, on the other hand, is not a reliable source of votes for the left, and therefore it is open season on the church and covering up of these other two areas in society, which will most likely be a hell of a lot closer to your home than Hollywood. | |
| So, who votes for the left? | |
| Single moms and government teachers. | |
| Single moms, government teachers. | |
| Government teachers for the obvious reasons that they want higher taxes on everyone else, bigger and more powerful government, because they get paid enormously well for working about nine months a year. | |
| I think as the old joke goes, the only people who get paid more than government school teachers for working nine months a year are baseball players. | |
| Single moms, of course, vote for the bigger government because they're wed to the government. | |
| They need the government to provide them the resources that formerly would have been provided by a man, a provider, a father for their children so desperately needed by youth in any age, but particularly now. | |
| If you are the child of a single mother and there is a man living in your home, who's not your biological father, of course, if you're the child of a single mother and there's a man living in your home, You are more than 30 times more likely to be abused. | |
| 30 times. No, no, not 30%, not 300%. | |
| 30 times more likely to be abused. | |
| Does that sound like a bit of a swamp to you when we're going to talk about risk of child abuse, of child rape, of molestation, of beatings, of torturings, of murder? | |
| Does 30 times sound like it would be something that would get your attention? | |
| If we care so much about the children, you see. | |
| You're far more a danger, statistically, in a single-mom household than you would be as a Catholic altar boy. | |
| But you see, the left relies on the votes of single mothers, and so it will not talk about child abuse in single mother households. | |
| By the way, if you're a male and you're from a single mother household, if you were raised without a father, I would suggest getting your testosterone levels checked, because father absence contributes to low testosterone, which has the horrifying, horrifying result. | |
| Of potentially turning you into a BuzzFeed reporter. | |
| So that's one area. | |
| Now you see the left cares so much, you see, about abuse of children that it's constantly lambasting the Catholic Church for the couple of percentage points of priests who are pederasts or pedophiles. | |
| Pederasts is an attraction to post- Pubescent but pre-adult young people and, of course, pedophilia is pre-puberty children that you're attracted to. | |
| So they care so much, you see, that they're going to hammer and rail at the Catholic Church, which does not supply a lot of Democrat voters, but they're going to completely cover up all of the issues with single moms, all of the risk factors involved with single motherhood. | |
| And this is, you know, this is not to blame the single moms. | |
| I mean, I hold them responsible because women choose, like in the West, no forced marriage, at least that didn't used to be, but women choose men. | |
| Men propose, women dispose. | |
| Men ask, women say yes or no. | |
| But if women do not understand, have not been told of the risks of being single mothers, the risks towards their children, Then are they to blame? | |
| Well, there was a time when smoking was considered benign. | |
| Well, not the benign tumor, but benign. | |
| It was fine. Were people responsible? | |
| Well, you have to tell people the risks so they can make informed decisions, and those risks are not being discussed because the leftist media does not want to alienate or annoy a huge cadre, a phalanx of leftist-leaning and leftist voting. | |
| Women. Single moms. | |
| Do you understand what that means? | |
| It means that the left would rather children be abused, raped, molested. | |
| They would rather children be raped, abused, molested, neglected, beaten, tortured, killed. | |
| They would rather all this happen to children than alienate a voting bloc, potentially. | |
| This tells you all you need to know about the leftist care and concern for children. | |
| Now, you know another group that reliably votes for the left is government teachers, as I mentioned. | |
| So, if you care about abusive children, then you should, of course, go to where it's most prevalent, turn on the light, lift on the lid, expose what's going on. | |
| So here are some quotes. I'll put sources below, of course. | |
| A few media reports have indicated that sexual abuse by teachers in public schools utterly dwarfs the problem of priestly abuse. | |
| In a system where dismissing a teacher is exceedingly difficult. | |
| In New York City, for example, public school teachers are ten times more likely to abuse children than are Catholic priests. | |
| Teachers, Boy Scout leaders, foster parents, counselors, and physicians all have higher rates of child abuse than do Catholic priests. | |
| Absolutely astonishing. So, a university researcher, Carol Shakeshaft, looked into this problem. | |
| First thing that came to her mind when Education Week reported on the study were the daily headlines about the Catholic Church. | |
| And she says, think the Catholic Church has a problem? | |
| The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests. | |
| One hundred times. | |
| Now this data comes from the early 2000s. | |
| It's hard to find anything later. | |
| As the National Catholic Registers reporter Wayne Laugson points out, the federal report says 422,000 California public school students would be victims before graduation, a number that dwarfs the state's entire Catholic school enrollment of 143,000. | |
| Yet during the first half of 2002, the 61 largest newspapers in California ran nearly 2,000 stories about sexual abuse in Catholic institutions, mostly concerning past allegations. | |
| During the same period, those newspapers ran four stories about the federal government's discovery of the much larger and ongoing abuse scandal in public schools. | |
| That's just in six months. | |
| Two thousand stories about sexual abuse in Catholic institutions mostly concerning years or decades old allegations. | |
| Four, only four stories about the federal government's discovery the much larger and ongoing abuse scandal in public schools. | |
| You see? Destroy the church, grow the state, protect the leftist voters even if it means hundreds of thousands of children. | |
| Get molested, raped, abused, beaten. | |
| It is an unholy lust for power that drives these people. | |
| A 2002 Department of Education report estimated that from 6% to 10% of all students in public schools would be victims of abuse before graduation. | |
| 6% to 10% of all students. | |
| And this doesn't even count the general curriculum as mental abuse for children. | |
| Carol Shakeshaft analyzed data from an American Association of University Women Education Foundation survey and quote, estimates that between 1991 to 2000, roughly 290,000 students were subjected to physical sexual abuse by teachers or other school personnel. | |
| Please brand this into your brain. | |
| Between 1991 and 2000, 290,000 students, give or take, were subjected to physical sexual abuse by teachers or other school personnel. | |
| Single mother households, government schools, both reliable source of Democrat voters, both areas of concentrated childhood, sexual, and other kinds of abuse. | |
| Both virtually absent and unreported from the leftist mainstream media. | |
| Sure, there's Hollywood, it's lurid. | |
| But there's something a hell of a lot closer to where you are and to where your children are that is a far greater source of risk. |
