Time Text
Alright, well, just when you think there are no layers of hell below the layer that you currently reside in, the news just came out over the last couple days.
Steven Spielberg's daughter, Michaela, opens up about abuse by monsters as she announces career as adult entertainer.
Steven Spielberg's daughter, Michaela Spielberg, says she was abused and groomed by monsters outside her family in the past.
You know all of these jokes about Hollywood and pedowood and the high prevalence of child exploitation and pedophilia in Hollywood?
This kind of stuff does not exactly help put those rumors to rest.
The 23-year-old opened up about the abuse in a candid on-camera interview with the Sun, in which she also discussed her relationship to her body and her decision to start a career as an adult entertainer.
The abuse, she said, came, quote, from outside my family and not from anybody of notable presence, just from scumbag monsters who were looking at my vulnerability and going, that's the one.
I suffered a lot of grooming, Michaela, now 23, told the publication.
Quote, Child abusers, and this is the complex relationship that abuse victims have with their own physicality, because child abusers use your body to harm you.
It puts you in an oppositional relationship to your body.
If they hit you, they're relying upon the pain receptors in your body to transmit horrible sensations to your brain, so your body is used as a weapon against you.
If you are sexually exploited, if you are raped, if you are groomed, Then the pain and horror of sexuality in those kinds of horrible situations is your body being used against you.
And it sets you in opposition to the base muscle mass mammalian physicality that is the foundation of human life, human consciousness, and everything it is involved.
The whole question within the West of the mind-body dichotomy, that the mind is one thing and the body is this satanic thing that drags you down, this all comes.
From child abuse, when you are not abused as a child or when you resolve that abuse as an adult, your relationship with your body become positive and productive and wonderful and the mind-body split, the opposition of abstractions to physicality ceases to be an issue and of course it's something that I promoted and talked about on this show for many, many, many Years.
So this is what it means. What is my body, she says.
What is it to have a body and exist in a body safely?
What is it to be an emotional human being and not have it taken advantage of, right?
Psychological abuse, again, uses the pain mechanisms within your brain to harm you and your experience of being alive.
These things are beyond our control.
Ostracism activates the same pain receptors in the human mind that physical torture does.
So this is all beyond us.
You can't control whether if you're beaten you feel pain, you can't control whether if you're raped you feel pain, and you can't control whether you're verbally abused and you feel pain, therefore your body is being used against you.
Speaking about her decision to build a career as an adult entertainer, Michaela says she hopes to do some erotica for private customers or for the public and get a dancing license.
I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body, she said.
Frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body, and I also got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn't satisfying my soul.
I feel like doing this kind of work, I'm able to satisfy other people, but that feels good because it's not in a way that makes me feel satisfied.
So there is a lot to unpack in all of this.
First of all, she's dating.
She's engaged to a guy.
He's her fiancé.
He's a professional darts player, I think.
He's 47 years old, and she is 23 years old.
So together they make a 70-year-old, which is not, I think, particularly great.
And, of course, because she was exploited as a child by men, we assume, who were much older, could be women.
She doesn't give the gender of her abusers.
But there's so much to unpack here that let's bloody well get into it.
Thank you.
Well, I can't promise to keep my temper, but I will promise to keep my focus and focus my moral outrage.
So first and foremost, of course, if you've seen the pictures of Michaela, she is clearly adopted.
She is perhaps of mixed race descent.
And, you know, one of the things that's true of parents as a whole, but particularly true Of parents who adopt children, you've got to keep them safe, first and foremost.
That is job one.
You know, one thing that you can do to keep them safe is not have them groomed, molested, and whatever the hell happened, maybe even raped by pedophiles that have access to your child.
What the hell is going on in that household that for an unknown amount of time by an unknown amount of people in an unknown and unspoken manner...
This child was molested by monsters when it is the job of her parents, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg, to keep her safe from just such predations.
Come on. If you live and work in Hollywood, everybody knows the stories, everybody knows the rumors, everybody knows what's been talked about.
There are pedophiles in the industry, and you have to keep your children safe.
Failure to do so is a dereliction of parental responsibility of the very highest order.
They also put her in boarding school according to some reports.
And that, of course, is also a risky thing.
Now, I was in boarding school for a couple of years from the age of six onwards.
Nothing bad happened to me there.
I was probably too young, although, of course, I've heard the stories just like everyone else has.
But who knows what happened to her in boarding school.
And how do you know...
Pedophiles to the point where they're floating around your house having access to your children.
What kind of judge of character are you?
What kind of people do you allow around your children?
Oh, they weren't in the family.
They were outside the family.
Yes! But the family let them in!
Repeatedly. Because if you're groomed, that's not just a one-time thing.
Like some creep corners your kid in a hot tub.
That groomed statement means it happened over a fairly lengthy period of time, which means that the Spielbergs know people and give access to their children to people who are pedophiles.
Now, I'm not saying they knew they were pedophiles, but I don't know any pedophiles.
I guarantee you I don't know any pedophiles.
And nobody with any kind of creepy disposition would ever get within a million miles of my daughter.
So how do you know these people?
Why are they in your lives?
Why are they in your home?
And why do they have unfettered private access to your children?
How is this possible?
Are the Oscars really worth so much that you take a child, adopt a child, and then trap and expose a child to molestation and abuse?
Absolutely appalling. Now, she has struggled with alcoholism.
Of course, I've talked about this in my series.
I'll link to it below, called The Bomb in the Brain, about how childhood...
Abuse can take up to 20 years off your lifespan by rendering you susceptible to cancer, ischemic heart disease, to addictions, to promiscuity, to a wide variety of ill health outcomes.
And so the alcoholism, which she says was so bad it almost killed her, that has been part of her past.
And apparently she's saying that becoming a solo porn star...
And she's already started doing it.
I won't get into the details, but she's already started doing it.
That this is supposed to be some sort of cure.
Well, of course it's not. Now, I'll put all the links to this below.
This is from another report on this.
Regarding your child coming to you and saying to you, I was molested as a child for many years by...
I think she says plural, monstrous, so many people, many years, or many months, or however long it takes to groom a child.
What the hell do I know about these things?
So your child comes to you and says, I'm going into porn, and I was sexually abused as a child.
This is a quote on...
How her parents took this news.
Her parents are supportive of her career move.
Michaela confessed to her parents, Stephen and Kate, that she was planning on making the drastic move to adult entertainment during one of their weekend FaceTime sessions.
The 23-year-old shared that her parents were intrigued, but they were not, quote, upset, end quote, by her choice.
Oof. Oh my gosh, this is not one of my shows to take a nap to.
Intrigued by her choice.
No mention whatsoever of how this fantastically rich and powerful couple might be doing something like going after the people who molested their child that they adopted and put in a place of danger and exploitation and molestation.
No mention of...
Wow, I am so incredibly sorry that we took you into our home and exposed you to child sexual predators.
That was our responsibility.
The very least that we can do as fantastically rich, influential, and powerful people is to pour every resource that we have in this world To finding those predators and bringing them to justice.
No, no, no. You see, they don't want to do any of that.
Or if they do, I haven't heard about it.
No, no, no. You see, they're not upset by her choice.
They're intrigued by her choice.
What the fuck does that mean?
Intrigued by her choice.
Where is the parenting?
Where is all this money and power and access to lawyers and where is that?
Where is the fundamental human decency intent to protect other children by going after the monsters who molested your daughter?
Where is that going to be happening?
Huh? Steve?
Kate? You don't pull your heads out of your asses and start going after these people so that other children can be protected.
Yeah, you fail to protect your own.
Can you at least pour some of your hundreds of millions of dollars and worldwide fame into protecting other children?
