When alleged mob boss Frank Cali was brutally gunned down in Staten Island last March, people automatically assumed that it was a Mafia-related killing by a young upstart eager to advance in the Gambino crime family, or a harbinger of a coming Mafia war. That narrative was significantly complicated, however, when details emerged that Anthony Comello, the 24-year-old man accused of murdering Cali, was alleged to not have had any Mafia ties at all, but did have a relationship with Cali’s niece, of which the Mob boss apparently did not approve. Court documents filed today shed further light on Comello’s motive: that Comello may have been driven to kill Cali by his belief in QAnon, a wide-ranging conspiracy theory that alleges the existence of a deep-state conspiracy targeting President Donald Trump.
“Police arrest vigilante for alleged menacing, disorderly conduct…
Authorities are not releasing information about the arrest of Cougar Martin Joanis, who was cited on suspicion of first-degree disorderly conduct and menacing and taken to Crook County jail, according to the jail website.
Joanis, whom The Bulletin profiled last month, has been released, and the Crook County District Attorney’s Office has yet to make a charging decision in the case.”
I think my favorite part, is how the only arrest his efforts have gotten…was his own…
Many of the things expressed in this Sub-Blog, I’ve addressed any number of times over the years. I don’t wish to analyze every video, etc., but I do find it valuable to share these kinds of video, etc., even if I disagree substantially with any of it…It’s important to acknowledge and embrace, that there are people out there, who are engaged in levelheaded discussion about “pedophiles”. – Steve

01) “How Christians Should Respond to Gay People” Is Awful Advice
“Frank Turek was asked how Christians should respond to gay family members, and I took issue with his answer. Apparently, he thinks LGBT people can become straight, and if they can’t, they should be celibate. He thinks Christians should “help” family members to do this. Now, not only does the relevant scientific literature show that gay people can’t change sexual orientations, but that LGBT people are best off when their families and friends support them. I think this shows how little many Christian apologists actually care about science when it becomes problematic for them.
It turns out that his advice on LGBT issues is even worse than his “gotcha” questions for atheists.”
01) FIFA Packs And Loot Boxes ‘Not Gambling’ In UK (They’re Totes Gambling Though)
“The UK Gambling Commission has decided loot boxes do not fall under their jurisdiction, allowing Electronic Arts’ FIFA Packs and similar predatory business models to survive in Britain.
This news isn’t particularly surprising, considering technology moves fast and the law moves slow. And while many may expect me to be livid, I’ve been getting what I want – I want the concerns around loot boxes to get serious discussion, and that’s what we’ve been getting.
The conversation is far from over, and companies like EA are far from done with having to justify their unethical and despicable behavior.”
01) Outrage at Britain’s ‘paedo-finder general’: Tom Watson faces calls to quit after fantasist who invented VIP child sex ring – and was championed by Labour’s deputy leader – is found GUILTY of lying
Thanks to feinmann0!
“Outrage at Britain’s ‘paedo-finder general’: Tom Watson faces calls to quit after fantasist who invented VIP child sex ring – and was championed by Labour’s deputy leader – is found GUILTY of lying
• Fantasist Carl Beech, 51, is guilty of perverting the course of justice and fraud
• Convicted of child porn charges – carried out while claiming to be abuse victim
• Metropolitan Police swallowed his lies and launched £2.5m investigation
• But none of the officers on the scandal-hit probe will face sanction, it emerges
• Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson refuses to apologise for backing Beech”
I’m not going to say “I told you so”…
…Instead, I am going to share what I find most ironic in all of this, where it comes to the angry mobs…
For a handful of years now…we’ve had countless conspiracy theorists and “pedophile hunters” who sneer at those of us MAP’s, who’ve steadfastly said this situation reeks of spectacle and incredulity…
We were told to shut up, and that our voices don’t matter…because “pedophiles cannot be trusted”…”pedophiles only lie”…”we were only trying to cover up, and excuse what Nick was exposing”…
…And yet…these exact same, mouthy fools…placed all of their completely unjustified faith…into the outlandish words of a child porn collecting pedophile…And they got behind him, as if he were their hero…their pedophile exposing messiah…
And now, their hero is going to prison…
…I guess they aren’t much of a judge in character…nor in common sense deduction.
Pedophiles seem to have narcissistic and antisocial (psychopathic) traits. They lack empathy for their victims and express no remorse for their actions. They are in denial and, being pathological confabulators, they rationalize their transgressions, claiming that the children were merely being educated for their own good and, anyhow, derived great pleasure from it.
The pedophile’s ego-syntony rests on his alloplastic defenses. He generally tends to blame others (or the world or the “system”) for his misfortunes, failures, and deficiencies.
Pedophiles frequently accuse their victims of acting promiscuously, of “coming on to them”, of actively tempting, provoking, and luring (or even trapping) them.
The pedophile – similar to the autistic patient – misinterprets the child’s body language and inter-personal cues. His social communication skills are impaired and he fails to adjust information gained to the surrounding circumstances (for instance, to the kid’s age and maturity).
(From the book “Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited” by Sam Vaknin – click on this link to purchase the print book, or 16 e-books, or 3 DVDs with 16 hours of video lectures on narcissists, psychopaths, and abuse in relationships: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/thebook.html)”
We are being accused of being “narcissists, antisocial psychopaths and abusers”?…
…Wonderfully horrible foot to start off on…My optimism for this one, is very, very low.

I feel like I’m shirking this off, by not giving much of a response to it.
This is from 2012, hence the reference to an “upcoming DSM 5 debate on pedo-hebephilia”.
There’s a lot of stereotyping here…
…Little, to nothing, I recognize as a positive comment about pedophiles.
Near the end, there are some interesting acknowledgements on the history of pedophilia permissive sex laws…and cultures which incorporated pedophilia.
He has a heavy accent, so I find it a bit harder to stay focused and pick things out…it’s also four in the morning, right now.
I’m mostly posting this, because I’ve been setting on this post for over three years.
02) Sex Offender Registries Don’t Keep Kids Safe, But Politicians Keep Expanding Them Anyway
“Lawmakers are using “stranger danger” myths to keep almost a million Americans out of work and on the verge of homelessness.
…
The first time Damian Winters got evicted was in 2015. He was living with his wife and two sons in suburban Nashville when his probation officer called his landlord and informed him that Winters was a registered sex offender.
The previous year, when he was 24 years old, Winters had been arrested for downloading a three-minute porn clip. The file description said the girl in the video was 16; the prosecutor said she was 14. He was charged with attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and, because he had used file-sharing software to download the video, attempted distribution of child pornography.
Winters had no criminal record, no history of contact with children and no other illegal files on his computer. Facing an eight-year prison sentence, he had taken a plea deal that gave him six years’ probation and 15 years on Tennessee’s sex offender registry.
The day after his landlord found all this out, Winters found a letter on his porch giving him and his family 72 hours to move out. He ended up in one homeless shelter, his wife and sons in another.
He had no idea that it would be the last time he would ever live in a home. He has been sleeping in shelters, halfway houses and parked cars ever since.
…
Winters is a member of an expanding and invisible American underclass. In 1994, when Congress passed the first sex offender registration law, the list was reserved for law enforcement officials and only applied to the most serious offenders. Since then, American lawmakers at every level have relentlessly increased its scope and severity.
The registry now includes more than 900,000 people, a population slightly greater than Vermont’s. At least 12 states require sex offender registration for public urination; five apply it to people charged with offenses related to sex work; 29 require it for consensual sex between teenagers. According to Human Rights Watch, people have been forced to spend decades on the registry for crimes they committed as young as 10 years old.”
This article is uncommonly information rich…I recommend reading it.
