Pedophilia “is not a sexual orientation, it is a preference,” says sexuality sociologist…

….	April 05, 2021 01) La pédophilie «n’est pas une orientation sexuelle, c’est une préférence», affirme un sociologue de la sexualit Thanks to Volshebnik! “Michel Dorais, sociologist of sexuality, explains that pedophiles are found in every category of sexual orientation, from homosexuality to heterosexuality. “[Pedophilia] is not a sexual orientation, it is a preference. In the orientations, there are preferences. There are people who have pedophile desires, with pedophile activities, as much in homosexuality, in heterosexuality, in bisexuality. In every sexual orientation, there are preferences in terms of age, weight, height, size, etc., “Dorais told Les Effrontées on QUB radio on Monday. Invited by host Geneviève Pettersen to discuss Gabriel Matzneff, the octogenarian French writer whose sexual assault on children was denounced in the testimony of one of his victims, Vanessa Springora, Mr. Dorais believes that the pedophilia “is not necessarily an exclusive attraction”. “Most people who engage in pedophile activities also have sex with adults,” said the professor at Laval University’s School of Social Work and Criminology. According to him, there is a “myth” that we must “get rid of” about child molesters. “We used to say – and still [today] this is a myth that needs to be really got rid of – ‘who has been abused will abuse’. This is not true. Victims of sexual assault do not necessarily become more aggressive than others, ”added Michel Dorais. COMMENT from SUBMITTER: Sociologist says paedophilia is a preference not an orientation and one finds paedophiles in all categories of sexual orientation.” Regardless what anyone says, pedophilia is still a defining part of sexual orientation.	….

French MPs back law to introduce age of sexual consent…

March 28, 2021

Thanks to feinmann!

“French MPs have voted to back a new law that would set the age of consent at 15 and prohibit sex with relatives aged under 18. It is expected to pass in the Senate and will give France an age of consent for sexual relations for the first time. It comes after a series of sexual abuse scandals that shook the country. Supporters say it will make it easier to prosecute both historical and recent cases of sexual abuse. The bill was passed unanimously by politicians in the National Assembly on Monday night. President Emmanuel Macron’s government has said that after final approval in the spring, it wants the bill to come into force quickly. ‘No adult will be able to take advantage of the consent of a minor’, Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti said on Monday. ‘We do not touch children’, he added.”

COMMENT from SUBMITTER:

Hypocrisy again, but one cannot expect anything less from politicians. At age 15, Macron had an affair with his 39-year-old married teacher, Brigitte Trogneux who had three children of her own; they married in 2007 when he was 29. Macron of all people must realise that children are sexual beings, rather than a species devoid of any sexual desire. I guess the AOC was set to 15 rather than 16 to avoid imprisoning his wife for engaging in historic sexual abuse.

The damaging dictat: ‘We do not touch children’ only increases the gulf between adults and children at a societal level.

‘No adult will be able to take advantage of the consent of a minor’ seems to acknowledge that children younger than 15 can consent, but simultaneously cannot consent (once the bill is formally approved).

I wonder if France’s prisons can accommodate the tsunami of senior-citizens that will undoubtedly be prosecuted and sent down in 2022 for historic child sexual abuse.”

Politicians ramming puritanical rage and “retribution” down the throats of the masses…again…

Politicians are overwhelmingly evil.

“Oh, the horror!”, that we might some day have a world where loving people can mutually enjoy the company of each other…”Far better” that we fear and hate each other, enduring the many consequences of such a chronic and soul destroying state of life.

I’m wondering in all of this…Do the French people, themselves, actually want this?

Politicians commonly act on behalf of aggressive, minority interests…and in doing so, they merely drop the axe on everybody else.

Australian reporters ‘angered’ after advice to stop using term ‘pedophile’ to refer to accused serial child molestor…

Thanks to anonymous!

” Reporters for Australia’s ABC Tasmania have reportedly been warned to avoid using the term ‘pedophile’ when referring to an accused serial child molestor, for fear of “discouraging” non-offending pedophiles from seeking help.

In an email to reporters, an unnamed senior producer at ABC said that the Sexual Assault Support Service (SASS) had “mentioned their concerns” about describing former nurse James Geoffrey Griffin – who committed suicide in 2019 after the allegations against him were made public – as a pedophile.

…

“We should avoid [the term pedophile], unless we know he had a clinical diagnosis of paedophilia and instead use serial sexual offender / predator, or a sexual abuser of children and young people,” the producer warned.

The email cautioned that the SASS says there are a lot of pedophiles or “people with paedophilia” who “do not act on those impulses,” particularly if they “reach out for and receive professional psychological help.”

…

According to The Australian newspaper, the producer’s email”concerned and angered” some reporters, as well as activists against child molestation. Beyond Abuse founder Steve Fisher, who himself is a survivor of abuse, argued that “changing language” could confuse people when reading stories that expose predators.

While some reporters initially believed the advice to be binding, others did not and there have been multiple instances of the word ‘pedophile’ being used since the email was sent, the Australian said.

Pedophile word banned unless they were tested and result showed they do have pedophilia”

Interesting…

I see a lot of the problem I’ve been discussing for years, in this article…

…Aggressive people [sometimes hurt and with an axe to grind] have this dialogue under siege, essentially trapped where it mostly has been for the past 30 years…and they are trying to hold onto dominant control, over what can be said/understood, and how it can be said/understood.

They want to paint their own particular sort of picture…and tell people “this is the only way it is”…and lock out everything else.

…And some of them are angry, because they’ve been told they need to stop inhumanely demonizing other human beings?…because they need to stop spreading false information, about entire demographics of the human species?!

This is why I find so much of the media “profession” to be disgusting and reprehensible.

They are self entitled to use everybody else, however they please…inflicting whatever injury they please…because it serves their own predatory goals…

…and they get so angry when they are called out on it…or people even politely ask them to change.

So many of these people are just soulless bastards, who care nothing about other human beings, who lack human empathy…and who will shamelessly say anything for a paycheck.

Ooh, I better be quick and grab one of those apartments, but wait … there’s no P on the end of the LGBT!”

Ha!…

Sounds interesting.

“this “does not imply exclusion of those who do not identify as LGBT but actively values those who respect and celebrate LGBT+ people”.

…What good fortune!…I think I found a loophole!

This project kind of dispells the myth, that homosexuals die young…doesn’t it?

How sad a commentary on society that in this day and age, sexual minorities still need a sanctuary from it.

Legislation proposed to increase the age of consent in the Philippines to 16, from 12…

….	March 03, 2021 01) Popcom backs raising age of consent to 16 Thanks to feinmann! “In the budget hearing of the National Economic and Development Authority, Undersecretary Juan Antonio A. Perez III said raising the age of consent can help ‘scare off’ older individuals from exploiting teenagers. Perez said teenage pregnancy has been on the rise in the Philippines in the past few years and pregnancy among children aged 10 to 14 years old more than doubled in just over 10 years. We also noted that many of these pregnancies of these 10 to 17-year-old girls, their partners are older than them; about 90 percent have partners that are older than them. So there is an element of power play, of exploitation here because it’s older men who are the partners of these young girls.” COMMENT from SUBMITTER: I somehow doubt that raising the age of consent will solve the country’s over-population problems, arguably caused by the Catholic churches ruling on contraception … so that the average number of children born to a woman is close to four, and, … so that more than one third of the population is under the age of 15.” Cheering on their own cultural degradation?… Yes, they should implement contraception, without a doubt. Far be it from me to dictate “what is right”…and I don’t offer this in judgement…but I honestly think it is best to keep penises out of the vaginas of ten year old girls…pregnancy and birth are a lot more dangerous for females that young…and I’m certain abortions are not fun…even less so at that age. I do find it good, despite the focus of the article, that they actually acknowledge ten year olds having sexual partners…and they don’t sink into the “victim and rapist” trope. And you’re right, feinmann…If you have a growing population of teens and tweens [kids going into puberty]…the number of sexually active teens and tweens is going to naturally rise…likely even more so, if these age groups ever become the largest demographics. If one in every three people you encounter happens to be under the age of fifteen, and the current legal age of consent is twelve…it’s easy to see why a lot of older people would see them as appropriate sexual companions…especially if they’re already sexually active. In that case, it’s just a normal part of the culture.	….

01) UN torture expert on Julian Assange’s persecution and the lies behind it

Thanks to feinmann!

“A UK judge has rejected a US attempt to extradite Julian Assange, citing the Wikileaks founder’s risk of suicide and the poor conditions of US prisons. But Judge Vanessa Baraitser accepted the basis for the US government’s espionage case against Assange and ruled against releasing him on bail.

Nils Melzer, the UN Special Rapporteur on torture, discusses the longstanding persecution of Assange and the lies that have been used to justify it to the public. Melzer, who has visited Assange in prison, has played a critical role in exposing the deception surrounding Assange’s initial Sweden extradition case.

“Based on 20 years of experiences of visiting prisoners, many of whom are being exposed to to extremely severe conditions including ill treatment, it is a miracle that this man is still
alive,” Melzer says.

Guest: Nils Melzer. UN Special Rapporteur on torture and Professor of International Law at the University of Glasgow.”

Chris Hansen’s Hitman: The Anon Gene Files…

….	January 28, 2021 01) Chris Hansen’s Hitman: The Anon Gene Files Thanks to Kamil Beylant! “Through Chris Hansen’s recent controversies, one person has stuck by his side. A user with an Anonymous profile pic, engaging in doxxing, harassment and more. It’s time to hold both accountable for their actions. Thanks to @Ay Star? for helping with this video. Botometer study: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0241045 COMMENT from SUBMITTER: YouTube account holders! The YouTube this week (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfLQ2QkLZuA) showed celebrity human-hunter Chris Hansen, an old associate of Twitter Trust and Safety poobah Allison Shea (‘Del Harvey’), collaborating with an Anonymous member, Anonymous Gene, to wage all-out bottom-dirt-level cyberharassment war against Hansen’s critics. Mysterious support from within Twitter Support was connected to these harassment attack. I realized that I’d seen something similar in 2013. Bernie Najarian wrote an article called “Hive Child: a boy for Anonymous and Allison Shea” about the recruitment of teenagers to cybercrime lifestyles on Twitter, and how Twitter Support had made it impossible to report the Anonymous members who openly carried out those crimes. Najarian wrote: “Why is it so difficult, then, to anonymously report illegal cybercrime gang activity on Twitter? “Very simple. The website’s security department is run by a veteran cybervigilante who may have a major soft spot for others of her kind. “@delbius, Twitter’s Director of Trust and Safety, is Allison Shea, who came to renown as one of the predator-trappers on NBC’s ‘To Catch a Predator’. She used the pseudonym “Del Harvey” and worked full time as secretary for Xavier von Erck’s organization Perverted Justice.” This link between cybercrime, cybervigilantes, Twitter Support, members of the Anonymous movement, and Chris Hansen, was all clearly visible in 2013. I’d appreciate if anyone was in a position to comment the link to this article on the page for John Swan’s YouTube. Let him know it shows evidence for a Hansen-Delbius-Anonymous-cybercrime overlap going back to 2013. https://ourlovefrontier.wordpress.com/hive-child-a-boy-for-anonymous-and-allison-shea/“	….

mRNA Vaccines Could Vanquish Covid Today, Cancer Tomorrow…

….	January 27, 2021 01) mRNA Vaccines Could Vanquish Covid Today, Cancer Tomorrow Thanks to feinmann! “The best news about the mRNA shots from BioNTech and Moderna is that the same technique could also defeat many other diseases. … The most promising Covid vaccines use nucleic acids called messenger RNA, or mRNA. One vaccine comes from the German firm BioNTech SE and its U.S. partner Pfizer Inc. The other is from the U.S. company Moderna Inc. (its original spelling was ModeRNA, its ticker is MRNA). Another is on the way from CureVac NV, also based in Germany. Ordinary vaccines tend to be inactivated or weakened viruses which, when injected into the body, stimulate an immune response that can later protect against the live pathogen. But the process of making such vaccines requires various chemicals and cell cultures. This takes time and provides opportunities for contamination. mRNA vaccines don’t have these problems. They instruct the body itself to make the offending proteins — in this case, the ones that wrap around the viral RNA of SARS-CoV-2. The immune system then homes in on these antigens, practicing for the day when the same proteins show up with the coronavirus attached. Therein lies mRNA’s bigger promise: It can tell our cells to make whatever protein we want. That includes the antigens of many other diseases besides Covid-19.”	….

….	January 27, 2021 01) The (in)consistency of changes in brain macrostructure in male paedophiles: A combined T1-weighted and diffusion tensor imaging study Thanks to Flashraid99! “Pedophiles brain is not different to non pedophiles brains Abstract: Thus far, four studies have used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to test for differences in brainstructure between paedophilic (i.e. sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children) and teleiophilic (i.e.sexually attracted to adults) men, revealing divergent results. To re-examine this issue, we acquired highresolution structural T1-weighted and diffusion MRI scans of the brain in 24 paedophilic and 32 tele-iophilic men. We performed voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of the T1-weighted images and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) of the diffusion tensor imaging data to search for grey and white matterdifferences between groups. In contrast to previous studies, less than half of the individuals in ourpaedophilic group had a record of sexual offences against children, as subjects were partially recruitedfrom two outpatient facilities of a child sexual abuse prevention project for self-acknowledged paedo-philes. After adjustment for multiple comparisons and controlling for important confounding factors, wedid notfind any significant grey or white matter differences between the paedophilic and teleiophilicsubjects. Together with the inconsistencies in the literature, these results argue against consistentstructural differences at the macroanatomical scale between paedophiles and teleiophiles.” This is important research.	….
