“The attorneys general of 44 states sent a letter Monday urging Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to halt the company’s launch of Instagram Kids, a version of the app designed for children under the age of 13.
In the letter, whose signatories include New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the attorneys general accuse the social media giant of failing to protect children in the past.
“Use of social media can be detrimental to the health and well-being of children, who are not equipped to navigate the challenges of having a social media account,” they wrote. “Further, Facebook has historically failed to protect the welfare of children on its platforms.”
“The attorneys general have an interest in protecting our youngest citizens, and Facebook’s plans to create a platform where kids under the age of 13 are encouraged to share content online is contrary to that interest,” they added.”
How thoughtful of those 44 Attorneys General, to attempt stripping children of their online voice.
…and what sticks out most to me, is how they prioritize their own interests to control, over those of actual children…
…Fear mongering over the children again, I see…This was one of Adolf Hitlers favorite tactics, too.
“CNN reports that federal investigators are seeking the cooperation of a former Capitol Hill intern who also once dated the Republican lawmaker, according to sources familiar with the matter. (That, of course, is on top of the formal cooperation they could secure from Greenberg, CNN notes.
It is claimed a lot of homosexual sex went on with Bug, from an early age…beginning with his biological father…then picking up again, shortly after landing his role in “The Little Rascals”.
Bug claims it went on in Hollywood from eight years old to twelve years old.
Strictly speaking…I’m not shocked.
The thing about pedophilia in that sort of setting [Hollywood movies and acting]…what essentially amounts to a whole lot of frequent “passing around”, to a lot of people you don’t really know or bond with and who quickly leave your life…that’s not natural pedophilia.
That’s people who don’t have a legal, open option, being seduced into reckless behavior…by the belief that a powerful network will shelter them.
…and it’s not a good way for pedophilia to express itself, in my opinion.
As a pedophile myself [who greatly liked Bug, believe me]…I can recognize when a kid isn’t really choosing that sort of thing for themselves.
This is one of the biggest issues I take, regarding these Hollywood cases…It’s just passing a hot/cute kid around, who someone has easy access to…There is no stability or dependability in the relationship, if it’s even a true relationship at all.
I don’t blame these kids for being unhappy with this state of affairs…It’s like they’ve been pushed into prostitution on the side, just to have their actual career.
Some Thoughts:
I actually came to this video after watching another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYJ7P2aBkHM…It’s a religious program, so you’ll probably know what to expect…and what I’m about to express is in response to things said in that video.
Pedophilia is not about destroying innocence…nor is it about envy of innocence.
Like heterosexuality and homosexuality…pedophilia is a biological response to sexual stimulation…to the inborn sex drive…to visual and physical [possibly audio] stimulation…
Truth is…child bodies are sexually appealing to much of the human population…just as teen and adult bodies are.
This attraction has nothing to do with a desire to destroy, or to be like a child…It’s an attraction you discover, like anyone else discovers their sexual orientation…and it exists and comes to you, all on its own.
Bug said something to the effect [if I recall right]…that he does not believe pedophilia is about a desire to destroy innocence…but an envy of that innocence…
It would be ludicrous for anyone to imply that pedophilia was about destroying anything in a child…particularly if one were attracted to that thing in a child…because the whole exercise would turn into a repetition of self denial, by removing that thing which one most wants to experience. Why would anyone do that? It makes no sense.
If I had ever been in a sexual relationship with a boy, by nature I would have wanted it to continue on…being as good, deep, rich and exciting from the first to the final sexual experience…not ending as some shallow husk of where it started…not placing the boy in a poorer state, than where I found him.
As to the envy angle…
…As we age…I think we all discover that we envy no longer having our own childhood and youth…and everybody envies the young, in this regard…
…but, sexuality is not about envy…It’s simply about what is sexually appealing.
…And again…young children are sexually appealing…likely on a human scale, far beyond what is known to be true…It’s just not politically correct to talk about it, nor it’s commonality.
…”They” don’t want it known, just how normal the attraction is across our species.
…But it is one hell of a lot more common, than most people believe.
Most people are simply not preferentially oriented, to where they would be recognized as being a pedophile…but they still experience some twinge of the attraction…because it’s just naturally there.
Nobody has ever explained, nor established the biological path, by which sexual attraction gets “turned off” to people in different age groups [and Tanner stages]…and we know it is common for children to be sexually attracted to each other…
The presumption that we grow out of this attraction is just that…a presumption, which is not based in science, but merely pushed on us aggressively by society.
People need to understand this point…Pedophilia is quite natural…in many species, humans only being one of them…It occurs in nature…It’s just something that biologically exists.
Why do people try to attribute all these other [usually negative and sinister] causes to it?
A person is no more morally or ethically defective for having a pedophile orientation, than anyone else is for having a heterosexual or homosexual orientation…It’s the way nature made them.
I See Bug Embraced Religion:
The one great journey of every life, is your personal evolution…becoming discontent with what existed previously, and seeking out something radically different to base and live your life from.
I forget where…but I seem to remember a Buddhist proverb about this…and it seems to be one of the few, true human traits, which comes closest to being universal…
I recognize this journey…not just in myself, but in others like Bug…
…We all have a need to understand and come to terms with ourselves, as we are…
For me…I started and was trapped, deeply within the church…a place and philosophy, I became greatly dissatisfied with…My great journey led me to atheism…and a far deeper understanding of myself, and the world around me…
Bug started from a place of non-religion…He had his own set of trials and grievances…becoming greatly dissatisfied with it all…and finding his great transformation within what is offered by religion.
…It’s all leaving behind what is not working for us…and moving to something we think [or experience] as being better for us.
Everyone needs something to hold onto…Often times, when they’ve hit bottom…religion is the easiest thing to fall into…because it’s right there, established and waiting.

“Leonnig also reports that it was not clear if Donald Trump knew what Secret Service personnel were saying about his daughter and daughter-in-law.
But she says the president did repeatedly seek to remove Secret Service staff he deemed to be overweight or too short for the job.
“I want these fat guys off my detail,” Trump is reported to have said, possibly confusing office-based personnel with active agents. “How are they going to protect me and my family if they can’t run down the street?
