Trump Admin Bans African Leader From US Who Announced Opposition To LGBTQ : “ I Prefer to Anger Those Countries Than To Anger God ” How can one claim to worship God and yet , promote what God condemns and calls an abomination ?
Perhaps , someone should ask President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo .
No , this isn ’ t the Obama administration anymore , Christian Americans .
The Trump administration has banned a top Tanzanian official from entering the US due to his pro-Bible , pro-Christian views on homosexuality .
In a statement posted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ designated Paul Christian Makonda , administrative chief of the capital Dar es Salaam , “ as ineligible to enter the U.S. for his involvement in gross violations of [ human rights ] .
” Keep in mind , again , this is not the administration of the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah that is advancing America to war against her greatest enemy : God .
• Trump : I Have No Problem With A Sodomite “ Married ” To Another Man Running For Office • US Embassy & George Soros Push Sodomite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of Georgia • Donald Trump Promises “ Forward Motion on Equality ” for Sodomites – Says Marriage View is “ Evolving ” “ We are deeply concerned over deteriorating respect for human rights and rule of law in [ Tanzania ] , ” he added .
First of all , dealing with those who commit sodomy is not a violation of human rights .
In fact , just like there is no God-given right to worship false gods , there is also no right to engage in what the God who gives legitimate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our forefathers held to and that is engaging in homosexual behavior is criminal : crimes against nature and nature ’ s God .
Furthermore , according to Reporters Without Borders , an international organization advocating freedom of information and freedom of the press , is “ deeply concerned ” about the freedom of expression in the country , according to Arnaud Froger , head of the group ’ s Africa chapter .
And Neela Ghoshal , senior LGBT rights researcher at Human Rights Watch , said Tanzanian authorities “ have orchestrated a systematic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2018 , Makonda , for his part , announced the creation of an anti-gay surveillance squad and urged residents to spy on their neighbors , asking them to report any homosexuals via a phone hotline , NPR reported .
“ Report them to me , ” he said during a televised address .
The BBC reported that Makonda anticipated facing international backlash for the move , but said , “ I prefer to anger those countries than to anger God.
” “ As we take this stand , do not tell us about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ There is no right to go against creation written on any religious books .
Keep your laws .
Being gay is not allowed here in Dar es Salaam.
” Now , this is a man with courage and conviction , not a double talked like many of American politicians and bureaucrats .
As for State Secretary Pompeo , whom I warned you could not trust when he was appointed and this guy claims to be a Christian , he issued a statement .
The Department of State is publicly designating Paul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) of the FY 2020 Department of State , Foreign Operations , and Related Programs Appropriations Act due to his involvement in gross violations of human rights , which include the flagrant denial of the right to life , liberty , or the security of persons .
Specifically , the Department has credible information that Makonda was involved in such violations in his capacity as the Regional Commissioner of Dar es Salaam .
In that role , he has also been implicated in oppression of the political opposition , crackdowns on freedom of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of marginalized individuals .
The United States remains deeply concerned over deteriorating respect for human rights and rule of law in Tanzania .
This includes actions taken by the government that curtail freedom of expression , freedom of association , and right of peaceful assembly ; target marginalized people and the political opposition ; and jeopardize life .
Section 7031 ( c ) provides that , in cases where the Secretary of State has credible information that foreign officials have been involved in significant corruption or a gross violation of human rights , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are ineligible for entry into the United States .
The law also requires the Secretary of State to publicly or privately designate such officials and their immediate family members .
In addition to the public designation of Paul Christian Makonda , the Department is also publicly designating his spouse , Mary Felix Massenge .
These actions against Paul Christian Makonda underscore our concern with human rights violations and abuses in Tanzania , as well as our support for accountability for those who engage in such violations and abuses .
We call on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fundamental freedoms , including the freedom of expression , association , and the right of peaceful assembly .
The Trump administration is sorely misguided on this issue and needs a return to the actual rule of law .
Both Trump and Pompeo have shown complete disregard for biblical law , as well as the Constitution on many occasions .
After all , President Trump has even said he doesn ’ t have a problem with a sodomite “ married ” to another sodomite running for the White House and considers it “ fine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They would do well to listen to William Blackstone : The 45 goals of the Communists for America also are extremely clear here on this issue .
Right smack dab in the middle at number 26 is this : There is nothing “ normal , natural or healthy ” about sodomy .
It is unnatural , not normal and unhealthy .
It ’ s even shameful to imagine what these men do with their privates and their orifices , especially the one designed to emit human waste .
Our forefathers understood this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ previously written concerning how our founding fathers and the states previously dealt with sodomy , according to the actual rule of law , I wrote : First , note that our founding fathers would have been outraged that sodomites would be out in the open .
They knew that such perversion would both undermine and erode the moral foundations of civilization .
Under the British common law , the term sodomy was used to identify same-sex relations and was a capital crime .
Understand that the founders referenced Sir William Blackstone ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He was a British attorney , jurist , law professor , author , and political philosopher .
Blackstone ’ s commentaries were the premiere legal source used by the Founding Fathers in America .
So this should carry some weight with those who claim they know what the Founding Fathers knew and wanted concerning the issue of sodomy , but I ’ m guessing they will dismiss it .
In Blackstone ’ s Book the Fourth of Public Wrongs : Of Offences against the Persons of Individuals , Chapter Fifteen , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emphasis added ) : IV .
WHAT has been here observed… , which ought to be the more clear in proportion as the crime is the more detestable , may be applied to another offence , of a still deeper malignity ; the infamous crime against nature , committed either with man or beast… .
But it is an offence of so dark a nature…that the accusation should be clearly made out… .
I WILL not act so disagreeable part , to my readers as well as myself , as to dwell any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mention of which is a disgrace to human nature .
It will be more eligible to imitate in this respect the delicacy of our English law , which treats it , in it ’ s very indictments , as a crime not fit to be named ; peccatum illud horribile , inter chriftianos non nominandum [ “ that horrible sin not to be named among Christians ” —DM ] .
A taciturnity observed likewise by the edict of Constantius and Constans : ubi fcelus eft id , quod non proficit fcire , jubemus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ut exquifitis poenis fubdantur infames , qui funt , vel qui futuri funt , rei [ “ When that crime is found , which is not profitable to know , we order the law to bring forth , to provide justice by force of arms with an avenging sword , that the infamous men be subjected to the due punishment , those who are found , or those who future will be found , in the deed ” —DM ] .
Which leads me to add a word concerning its punishment .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason , and the express law of God , determine to be capital .
Of which we have a signal instance , long before the Jewish dispensation , by the destruction of two cities by fire from heaven : so that this is an universal , not merely a provincial , precept .
And our ancient law in some degree imitated this punishment , by commanding such miscreants to be burnt to death ; though Fleta says they should be buried alive : either of which punishments was indifferently used for this crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the general punishment of all felonies is the fame , namely , by hanging : and this offence ( being in the times of popery only subject to ecclesiastical censures ) was made single felony by the statute 25 Hen .
VIII .
c. 6. and felony without benefit of clergy by statute 5 Eliz .
c. 17 .
And the rule of law herein is , that , if both are arrived at years of discretion , agentes et confentientes pari poena plectantur .
Most Americans are completely unaware that the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington , who would also be considered this country ’ s first “ Commander-in-Chief ” approved the dismissal from the service at Valley Forge in 1778 of Lt. Frederick Gotthold Enslin .
Why did he do this ?
According to the orders , which are held at the Library of Congress , Enslin was “ attempting to commit sodomy ” with another soldier .
Under the title of “ Head Quarters , V. Forge , Saturday , March 14 , 1778 ” there is the following entry : What ’ s even more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came less than two weeks after another soldier , Ensign Anthony Maxwell , was acquitted of the charge of “ propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt .
Enslin ” on Feb. 27 , 1778 .
Penny Star cites the transcription of the court martial dated March 3 , 1778 : “ At a Brigade Court Martial whereof Colo. Burr was President ( Feby .

1778 , ) Ensign Maxwell of Colo. Malcom ’ s Regiment tried for propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deliberating upon the Evidence produced could not find that Ensign Maxwell had published any report prejudicial to the Character of Lieutt .
Enslin further than the strict line of his duty required and do therefore acquit him of the Charge.
” Note that our first President viewed “ sodomy ” or homosexual relations with “ Abhorrence and Detestation.

He was not alone either .

In Notes on the State of Virginia by Matthew Carey ( 1794 ) Jefferson indicated that in his home state of Virginia , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the penalty for sodomy .
I ’ m guessing there weren ’ t too many sodomites wanting that to take place .
You might say that is Jefferson ’ s home state , but not Jefferson ’ s thoughts on the issue .
Not so fast .
Jefferson actually authored a bill penalizing sodomy by castration ( The Writings of Thomas Jefferson , Andrew A. Lipscomb , editor ( Washington , D. C. : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association , 1904 ) , Vol .
I , pp .
226-227 , from Jefferson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Punishments ) ) .
I would have to ask President Trump and State Secretary Mike Pompeo if they would ban George Washington , Thomas Jefferson or a host of our forefathers from the US ?
Based on their antichrist-style stand , I would say they would .
President Trump is not only in serious need to ask forgiveness for this but also repent of promoting such behavior , as is Secretary Pompeo .

Trump Admin Bans African Leader From US Who Announced Opposition To LGBTQ: “I Prefer to Anger Those Countries Than To Anger God”
How can one claim to worship God and yet, promote what God condemns and calls an abomination? Perhaps, someone should ask President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. No, this isn’t the Obama administration anymore, Christian Americans. The Trump administration has banned a top Tanzanian official from entering the US due to his pro-Bible, pro-Christian views on homosexuality.
In a statement posted Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo designated Paul Christian Makonda, administrative chief of the capital Dar es Salaam, “as ineligible to enter the U.S. for his involvement in gross violations of [human rights].”
Today we designated Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Paul Christian Makonda as ineligible to enter the U.S. for his involvement in gross violations of #humanrights. We are deeply concerned over deteriorating respect for human rights and rule of law in #Tanzania. — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) January 31, 2020
Keep in mind, again, this is not the administration of the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah that is advancing America to war against her greatest enemy: God.
“We are deeply concerned over deteriorating respect for human rights and rule of law in [Tanzania],” he added.
First of all, dealing with those who commit sodomy is not a violation of human rights. In fact, just like there is no God-given right to worship false gods, there is also no right to engage in what the God who gives legitimate rights condemns.
Tanzania holds to what our forefathers held to and that is engaging in homosexual behavior is criminal: crimes against nature and nature’s God.
FaithWire reports:
Furthermore, according to Reporters Without Borders, an international organization advocating freedom of information and freedom of the press, is “deeply concerned” about the freedom of expression in the country, according to Arnaud Froger, head of the group’s Africa chapter. And Neela Ghoshal, senior LGBT rights researcher at Human Rights Watch, said Tanzanian authorities “have orchestrated a systematic attack” on LGBTQ people.
In 2018, Makonda, for his part, announced the creation of an anti-gay surveillance squad and urged residents to spy on their neighbors, asking them to report any homosexuals via a phone hotline, NPR reported.
“Report them to me,” he said during a televised address.
The BBC reported that Makonda anticipated facing international backlash for the move, but said, “I prefer to anger those countries than to anger God.”
“As we take this stand, do not tell us about human rights,” he explained further. “There is no right to go against creation written on any religious books. Keep your laws. Being gay is not allowed here in Dar es Salaam.”
Now, this is a man with courage and conviction, not a double talked like many of American politicians and bureaucrats.
As for State Secretary Pompeo, whom I warned you could not trust when he was appointed and this guy claims to be a Christian, he issued a statement.
Here’s the full text (emphasis mine):
The Department of State is publicly designating Paul Christian Makonda under Section 7031(c) of the FY 2020 Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act due to his involvement in gross violations of human rights, which include the flagrant denial of the right to life, liberty, or the security of persons. Specifically, the Department has credible information that Makonda was involved in such violations in his capacity as the Regional Commissioner of Dar es Salaam. In that role, he has also been implicated in oppression of the political opposition, crackdowns on freedom of expression and association, and the targeting of marginalized individuals.
The United States remains deeply concerned over deteriorating respect for human rights and rule of law in Tanzania. This includes actions taken by the government that curtail freedom of expression, freedom of association, and right of peaceful assembly; target marginalized people and the political opposition; and jeopardize life.
Section 7031(c) provides that, in cases where the Secretary of State has credible information that foreign officials have been involved in significant corruption or a gross violation of human rights, those individuals and their immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the United States. The law also requires the Secretary of State to publicly or privately designate such officials and their immediate family members. In addition to the public designation of Paul Christian Makonda, the Department is also publicly designating his spouse, Mary Felix Massenge.
These actions against Paul Christian Makonda underscore our concern with human rights violations and abuses in Tanzania, as well as our support for accountability for those who engage in such violations and abuses. We call on the Tanzanian government to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of expression, association, and the right of peaceful assembly.
The Trump administration is sorely misguided on this issue and needs a return to the actual rule of law. Both Trump and Pompeo have shown complete disregard for biblical law, as well as the Constitution on many occasions.
After all, President Trump has even said he doesn’t have a problem with a sodomite “married” to another sodomite running for the White House and considers it “fine,” but God certainly does not.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. -Leviticus 20:13
They would do well to listen to William Blackstone:
“No enactment of man can be considered law unless it conforms to the law of God.”
The 45 goals of the Communists for America also are extremely clear here on this issue.
Right smack dab in the middle at number 26 is this:
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
There is nothing “normal, natural or healthy” about sodomy. It is unnatural, not normal and unhealthy. It’s even shameful to imagine what these men do with their privates and their orifices, especially the one designed to emit human waste.
Our forefathers understood this well.
In quoting what I had previously written concerning how our founding fathers and the states previously dealt with sodomy, according to the actual rule of law, I wrote:
First, note that our founding fathers would have been outraged that sodomites would be out in the open. They knew that such perversion would both undermine and erode the moral foundations of civilization. Under the British common law, the term sodomy was used to identify same-sex relations and was a capital crime. Understand that the founders referenced Sir William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England extensively. He was a British attorney, jurist, law professor, author, and political philosopher.
Blackstone’s commentaries were the premiere legal source used by the Founding Fathers in America. So this should carry some weight with those who claim they know what the Founding Fathers knew and wanted concerning the issue of sodomy, but I’m guessing they will dismiss it. In Blackstone’s Book the Fourth of Public Wrongs: Of Offences against the Persons of Individuals, Chapter Fifteen, he writes the following on pages 215-216 (emphasis added):
IV. WHAT has been here observed…, which ought to be the more clear in proportion as the crime is the more detestable, may be applied to another offence, of a still deeper malignity; the infamous crime against nature, committed either with man or beast…. But it is an offence of so dark a nature…that the accusation should be clearly made out….

A taciturnity observed likewise by the edict of Constantius and Constans: ubi fcelus eft id, quod non proficit fcire, jubemus infurgere leges, armari jura gladio ultore, ut exquifitis poenis fubdantur infames, qui funt, vel qui futuri funt, rei [“When that crime is found, which is not profitable to know, we order the law to bring forth, to provide justice by force of arms with an avenging sword, that the infamous men be subjected to the due punishment, those who are found, or those who future will be found, in the deed”—DM]. Which leads me to add a word concerning its punishment. THIS the voice of nature and of reason, and the express law of God, determine to be capital. Of which we have a signal instance, long before the Jewish dispensation, by the destruction of two cities by fire from heaven: so that this is an universal, not merely a provincial, precept. And our ancient law in some degree imitated this punishment, by commanding such miscreants to be burnt to death; though Fleta
says they should be buried alive: either of which punishments was indifferently used for this crime among the ancient Goths. But now the general punishment of all felonies is the fame, namely, by hanging: and this offence (being in the times of popery only subject to ecclesiastical censures) was made single felony by the statute 25 Hen. VIII. c. 6. and felony without benefit of clergy by statute 5 Eliz. c. 17. And the rule of law herein is, that, if both are arrived at years of discretion, agentes et confentientes pari poena plectantur.
Most Americans are completely unaware that the “Father of our country,” George Washington, who would also be considered this country’s first “Commander-in-Chief” approved the dismissal from the service at Valley Forge in 1778 of Lt. Frederick Gotthold Enslin. Why did he do this? According to the orders, which are held at the Library of Congress, Enslin was “attempting to commit sodomy” with another soldier. Under the title of “Head Quarters, V. Forge, Saturday, March 14, 1778” there is the following entry:
At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. Enslin of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment tried for attempting to commit sodomy, with John Monhort a soldier; Secondly, For Perjury in swearing to false Accounts, found guilty of the charges exhibited against him, being breaches of 5th. Article 18th. Section of the Articles of War and do sentence him to be dismiss’d the service with Infamy. His Excellency the Commander in Chief approves the sentence and with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes orders Lieutt. Enslin to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the Army never to return; The Drummers and Fifers to attend on the Grand Parade at Guard mounting for that Purpose.
What’s even more interesting is that Enslin’s dismissal came less than two weeks after another soldier, Ensign Anthony Maxwell, was acquitted of the charge of “propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt. Enslin” on Feb. 27, 1778. Penny Star cites the transcription of the court martial dated March 3, 1778: “At a Brigade Court Martial whereof Colo. Burr was President (Feby. 27th. 1778,) Ensign Maxwell of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment tried for propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt. Enslin. The Court after maturely deliberating upon the Evidence produced could not find that Ensign Maxwell had published any report prejudicial to the Character of Lieutt. Enslin further than the strict line of his duty required and do therefore acquit him of the Charge.”
Note that our first President viewed “sodomy” or homosexual relations with “Abhorrence and Detestation.” He was not a spineless, wishy washy, panty waisted man like the current occupant of the White House, who claims his views have “evolved.” He was a man that recognized perverse behavior for what it was, perversion. He was not alone either. In all thirteen colonies, sodomy was treated as a criminal offense and eventually that grew to encompass each and every one of the fifty states. By the way, that fell under “equal treatment under the law.”
The law was based upon Leviticus 20:13:
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death.”
This verse was “adopted into legislation and enforced by the colonies of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.” Oh the irony that 2012’s GOP Mormon nominee for President Mitt Romney was the one to “legalize” homosexual “marriage” in Massachusetts. Here are just a few of the states and the punishments they executed for sodomy.
That the detestable and abominable vice of buggery [sodomy] . . . shall be from henceforth adjudged felony . . . and that every person being thereof convicted by verdict, confession, or outlawry [unlawful flight to avoid prosecution], shall be hanged by the neck until he or she shall be dead.

Ah, but some will say, “Thomas Jefferson would have never stood for this. He wanted liberty and equal rights for homosexuals to get married.” Not according to the record he didn’t. In Notes on the State of Virginia by Matthew Carey (1794) Jefferson indicated that in his home state of Virginia, “dismemberment” of the offensive organ was the penalty for sodomy. I’m guessing there weren’t too many sodomites wanting that to take place. You might say that is Jefferson’s home state, but not Jefferson’s thoughts on the issue. Not so fast. Jefferson actually authored a bill penalizing sodomy by castration (The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew A. Lipscomb, editor (Washington, D.

President Trump is not only in serious need to ask forgiveness for this but also repent of promoting such behavior, as is Secretary Pompeo.

No doubt, there is a lot of information and disinformation, along with things that have not fully been reported concerning the coronavirus. However, when medical doctor and former Texas congressman Ron Paul asks whether the Chinese are telling us the truth about the coronavirus, we should all be paying attention.
The latest coronavirus outbreak, originating from the Wuhan Province, is causing increasing panic in public health and the financial markets.
The Chinese are building hospitals at the speed of light in an attempt to contain the virus, while putting millions under quarantine.
What do we know about the latest outbreak and about other previous outbreaks?

Louisiana:  Another Former Cop Arrested In Connection To Child Sex Ring Run By High-Level SWAT Commander

Livingston , LA — As TFTP reported late last year , a high-level Livingston Parish Sheriff ’ s Office deputy — who commanded the SWAT team — and his wife were indicted on more than 150 felonies for unspeakable crimes against children and animals .
Dennis Perkins , 44 , and his wife Cynthia Perkins , 34 , are accused of multiple counts of child rape and the production of child pornography , among other disturbing charges .
Now , another former cop , Melanie Barnett Curtin , 41 , of Denham Springs , was arrested Saturday , Feb. 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Orleans .
Adding to the disturbing nature of this case is the fact that Curtin worked for the Livingston Parish Sheriff ’ s Office starting in 2011—the same department as Perkins .
Her ex-husband is also a former LPSO deputy .
Curtin was arrested on two charges : first-degree rape and video voyeurism in connection to crimes committed with the Perkins .
She was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center Feb. 1 .
Judge Jeff Johnson set a bond of $ 250,000 for Curtin ’ s first-degree rape charge and $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Feb. 3 , according to WAFB .
After news of her former employment with the LPSO broke , the department issued a statement distancing themselves from the accused rapist .
“ Melanie Curtin has not been employed with the Sheriff ’ s office since August 13 , 2012 .
She worked for the Sheriff ’ s Office for roughly 18 months in the tax department .
She terminated her employment with this office on August 13 , 2012 .
At the time of the alleged crime for which she was arrested she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” the statement read .
WAFB reports that the Perkins indictment in December stated that on Nov. 8 , 2014 , Dennis raped an adult victim .
It went on to say that sex was “ …with the assistance of a yet unidentified adult female perpetrator.
” It is from this claim that the first degree rape charge stemmed .
Sources confirm to the WAFB Investigators that “ unidentified adult female perpetrator ” was Curtin .
In October , the Perkins were arrested after a months-long criminal probe headed up by the Louisiana @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in December , a grand jury indicted Dennis Perkins on 78 felonies and his wife , Cynthia Perkins , on 72 felonies .

Livingston, LA — As TFTP reported late last year, a high-level Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy — who commanded the SWAT team — and his wife were indicted on more than 150 felonies for unspeakable crimes against children and animals. Dennis Perkins, 44, and his wife Cynthia Perkins, 34, are accused of multiple counts of child rape and the production of child pornography, among other disturbing charges. Now, another former cop, Melanie Barnett Curtin, 41, of Denham Springs, was arrested Saturday, Feb. 1 as she returned from a cruise in New Orleans.
Adding to the disturbing nature of this case is the fact that Curtin worked for the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office starting in 2011—the same department as Perkins. Her ex-husband is also a former LPSO deputy.
Curtin was arrested on two charges: first-degree rape and video voyeurism in connection to crimes committed with the Perkins. She was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center Feb. 1. Judge Jeff Johnson set a bond of $250,000 for Curtin’s first-degree rape charge and $100,000 for the video voyeurism charge on Feb. 3, according to WAFB.
ARRESTED ON THE DOCK – This woman, who is the third person charged in the Dennis Perkins case, was handcuffed as soon as… Posted by WAFB Channel 9 on Saturday, February 1, 2020
After news of her former employment with the LPSO broke, the department issued a statement distancing themselves from the accused rapist.
“Melanie Curtin has not been employed with the Sheriff’s office since August 13, 2012. She worked for the Sheriff’s Office for roughly 18 months in the tax department. She terminated her employment with this office on August 13, 2012. At the time of the alleged crime for which she was arrested she was not an employee of this office,” the statement read.
WAFB reports that the Perkins indictment in December stated that on Nov. 8, 2014, Dennis raped an adult victim. It went on to say that sex was “…with the assistance of a yet unidentified adult female perpetrator.” It is from this claim that the first degree rape charge stemmed.
Sources confirm to the WAFB Investigators that “unidentified adult female perpetrator” was Curtin.
In October, the Perkins were arrested after a months-long criminal probe headed up by the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office. Then in December, a grand jury indicted Dennis Perkins on 78 felonies and his wife, Cynthia Perkins, on 72 felonies.
According to WAFB, among the felonies are child pornography charges, first-degree rape, attempted first-degree rape, sexual battery of a child under the age of 13, video voyeurism as well as a count of sexual abuse of an animal. The indictment also includes 61 counts of producing child pornography.
Judging from the video voyeurism charge, Curtin was allegedly involved in filming the rapes.
Also, according to the Advocate, the pair both face a count of mingling harmful substances, which involves putting harmful substances in food, drink or medicine with intent to hurt someone. According to the indictment, Perkins is accused of ejaculating on various pastries and into bottles of energy drinks that were then ingested by unsuspecting victims. Cynthia is accused of giving them to her students.
According to a source close to the case, the couple was seen in videos and photos committing unspeakable acts with naked children. Horrifying indeed.
WAFB 9 reports, that Denny Perkins was a lieutenant with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Unit (SWAT) before being terminated the week of Oct. 21. He was hired in 2002 from the Walker Police Department. This alleged child rapist commanded an entire SWAT division and was considered a “hero” by the community.
After her arrest, his wife, Cynthia Perkins resigned from her teaching position at Westside Junior High School in Walker. It is currently unknown if the victims in the images were students of Cynthia’s — though the parents of some of here students announced a lawsuit last month.
The investigation found so much disturbing evidence against the Perkins that this top cop and his wife are facing a sentence of more than 6,000 years in prison.
The investigation started after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a tip that the couple was raping children, filming it, and then distributing it to their network.
If you or anyone you know was molested or raped by this couple, please contact the FBI with your story. It is highly likely that they have more victims who have remained silent because their attacker was a SWAT commander.
The evidence in the case is reportedly so overwhelming that Denny Perkins’ attorney has requested to be removed from the case and no longer wishes to represent him.
Even more disturbing is the fact that Dennis Perkins was caught in bed — by his former wife, not Cynthia — with a child in 2013. However, due to state and federal laws that largely limit law enforcement from acting on allegations of grooming, nothing ever happened to Perkins. Instead, the child was sent to counseling and this ‘hero’ remained a cop.
“The counselor also told (the State Police) that he believed Perkins had done this before and would do it again,” the report reads.
“It is a sad day for us, for all law enforcement officers, when you arrest one of your own,” Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said. “We at the LPSO work hard every day to retain the trust placed in us by our citizens. I understand this was a veteran law enforcement officer, one who had dedicated a lot of time and effort into this community, but as I have said in the past, no one is above the law. This type of alleged behavior will not be tolerated by me or anyone at the LPSO. I do not condone these alleged acts. I am disappointed. I have always considered Denny a friend and a family member. The Attorney General’s Office is leading this investigation. We are assisting and offering to cooperate in any way we can.”
Indeed, it is a sad day when police officers — the ones who claim to protect us — are caught preying on society’s most vulnerable. However, there are a lot of sad days as this situation plays out like a broken record, over and over again.

Has there ever been an occupant of the White House who gave a State of the Union speech , including the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah , who didn ’ t tell the people that state of the union was “ strong ” ?

Lawsuit Forthcoming:  Exposing Facebook & Their Paid Former CNN Propaganda Veterans At LeadStories.com & Their Violations Of Law

Lawsuit Forthcoming : Exposing Facebook & Their Paid Former CNN Propaganda Veterans At LeadStories.com & Their Violations Of Law I was asked to write this piece for SonsOfLibertyMedia.com with reference to the attacks by Facebook against the site due to reports from decades-old veterans from CNN at LeadStories.com , a paid , third part , self-proclaimed “ fact-checker ” whose stories have been misapplied to the SonsOfLibertyMedia.com ’ s stories that have been publicized with specific references sourced while ignoring the myriad of corporate-controlled media ’ s , such as CNN , complete and documented fabrication of news .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m going to demonstrate how Facebook is not only violating law by hiding behind protections of the law for platforms while actually engaging in being a content provider .
There ’ s more to come on this on Monday with Jason Fyk , who will be a guest on The Sons of Liberty – YouTube to talk about his lawsuit that is currently in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and is ready to take it to the Supreme Court .
OK , so currently , while Facebook is taking money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is also quelling the reach of the same Facebook page that it is accepting money from , and attacking it with third party content that does not apply from more than two-decade-old veteran of the least trusted name in news CNN ’ s Alan Duke at LeadStories.com .
Additionally , Facebook has absolutely no mechanism for disputing their claims , which are false .
There are six examples and I will indicate how each of these are actually falsely applied to the articles mentioned in order to maintain a narrative and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes from our friend Michael Snyder .
Here ’ s how Facebook and LeadStories.com applied this to only further drive traffic and dollars to LeadStories.com .
While LeadStories.com claims there was “ no prediction ” based on an after the fact statement from John Hopkins : Recently , the Center for Health Security has received questions about whether that pandemic exercise predicted the current novel coronavirus outbreak in China .
To be clear , the Center for Health Security and partners did not make a prediction during our tabletop exercise .
For the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction .
No , I ’ m not going to link to LeadStories.com , which is what they want .
Furthermore , the statement went on to state : Instead , the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic .
We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people .
Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus , the inputs we used for modeling the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not similar to nCoV-2019 .
OK , did you get that ?
It ’ s not “ prediction , ” but it was somehow to “ highlight preparedness and response challenges.
” Well , if you are creating a model of something , which they claimed to do , which obviously was to see the results ( call it prediction or whatever ) , aren ’ t you , in essence , “ predicting ” a certain outcome ?
Yes , you are .
In fact , not one occurrence of the word @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article that Facebook used LeadStories.com to label as “ False Information , ” “ false news ” and “ misleading content.
” Rather , the context is clear , for anyone that actually reads the content , that the model was constructed for the clear purpose of discovering results .
Otherwise , what is the purpose ?
Even John Hopkins ’ own statement leads to that conclusion , despite claiming “ it was not a prediction.
” The second story also comes from Michael Snyder at SonsofLibertyMedia.com .
This is not “ partly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim .
Notice our headline that mentions “ an attenuated coronavirus.
” While LeadStories.com and Facebook would have you believe we are putting out false news , the reality is that the source mentioned in our article mentioned coronavirus 159 times while mentioning SARS just eight times .
It ’ s not “ partly false , ” it ’ s totally true , including the headling .
Then , there was the same nonsense and lies tied to an article that we don ’ t even know what they are referencing as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and then the Virginia crisis actors nonsense put out by the corporate and CIA-controlled media .
This one I am very familiar with since not only did I attend the Lobby Day rally in Richmond , Virginia , but I also authored the article .
While Facebook and LeadStories.com claims this is “ false information , ” “ false news ” and “ misleading content , ” which they also disseminate to users , which makes it libel and allows us to target them in civil court for damages , nothing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • The Sons Of Liberty Put Facebook On Alert : “ Your Conduct Appears To Violate Various State & Federal Laws , Anti-Trust , Consumer Protection & Fraud ” • The Sons Of Liberty Lay Foundation For Facebook Lawsuit – Issue Notice & Demand To Preserve Evidence The casting call did come ahead of Lobby Day .
Neither Facebook nor LeadStories.com disputes this fact .
While I referenced that crisis actors and active shooter training has always accompanied mass shootings , I never said this was that .
I merely referenced readers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people might call in at a high rate of money per day and possibly be sent , yes , but that was clearly “ theorized.
” Therefore , Facebook limited our reach , even though we were paying them for advertising by misapplying , or maybe intentionally , applying LeadStories.com ’ s article about video to our article .
The next example I also authored .
Please note the difference of what Facebook and LeadStories.com promote and what my title and information contained .
Facebook and LeadStories.com claim , “ Fake News : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Exposing Vaccine Fraud.
” Now , notice my headline , “ Bestselling Author Jennifer Jaynes Who Exposed Vaccine Deception Found Shot To Death – Ruled A Suicide.
” How is that “ false information , ” “ false news , ” or “ misleading content ” ?
In fact , I quoted her boyfriend at the time saying it had nothing to do with that , even though as someone who doesn ’ t know either of them , I may have questioned that .
This was a targeted response to our site @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last example I will address comes from my good friend Dean Garrison of DCClothesline.com and DCDirtyLaundry.com .
I simply retitled his article “ Are The Impossible Whoppers from Burger King a Part Of Population Control “ ?
It was a questioning headline , nothing more , nothing less .
LeadStores.com and Facebook decided to label it “ false news , ” “ false information , ” and “ misleading content , ” by claiming “ Inaccurate : Impossible Whopper contains no estrogen , will not lead to men growing breasts if eaten in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an article speaking of men growing breasts from eating too much of this , it appears LeadStories.com sought to make an issue of this and covered their backsides with the caveat , “ if eaten in moderation.
” Why ?
Because the Whopper contains phytoestrogen , which is plant-based instead of pure estrogen , which comes from mammals .
What neither Facebook nor LeadStories.com tell you in their propaganda , and propaganda is what it is , that if you consume large amounts of the impossible Whopper , which is a genetically modified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can make a man grow breasts if eaten in overwhelming quantity .
Thus , the qualifier .
This information will also be contained in our upcoming lawsuit against Facebook , and I have no doubt that LeadStories.com and Alan Duke will soon face libel over these issues as well .

How is that “false information,” “false news,” or “misleading content”?
Answer: It isn’t.

Now, Dean did quote an article speaking of men growing breasts from eating too much of this, it appears LeadStories.com sought to make an issue of this and covered their backsides with the caveat, “if eaten in moderation.”
Why? Because the Whopper contains phytoestrogen, which is plant-based instead of pure estrogen, which comes from mammals.
What neither Facebook nor LeadStories.com tell you in their propaganda, and propaganda is what it is, that if you consume large amounts of the impossible Whopper, which is a genetically modified organism filled with calorie-dense oils, it can make a man grow breasts if eaten in overwhelming quantity. Thus, the qualifier.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-05--The Pornification of America: How Young Girls Are Being Groomed by Sexual Predators

What can we do to protect America ’ s young people from sexual predators ?
That ’ s the question I keep getting asked by people who , having read my article on the growing danger of young boys and girls ( some as young as 9 years old ) being bought and sold for sex , want to do something proactive to stop these monsters in their tracks .
It is estimated that the number of children who are at risk of being trafficked or have already been sold into the sex trade would fill 1300 school buses .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ children for sex come from all backgrounds , races , ages and work forces , they do have one thing in common : 99 % of them are men .
This is not a problem with an easy fix .
That so many children continue to be victimized , brutalized and treated like human cargo is due to three things : one , a consumer demand that is increasingly lucrative for everyone involved—except the victims ; two , a level of corruption so invasive on both a local and international scale that there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ channels for change ; and three , an eerie silence from individuals who fail to speak out against such atrocities .
Sure , there are things that can be done to catch those who trade in young flesh : police need to do a better job of training , identifying and responding to these issues ; communities and social services need to do a better job of protecting runaways , who are the primary targets of traffickers , and educating parents and young people about the dangers ; legislators need to pass legislation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” the buyers who drive the demand for sex slaves ; and hotels need to stop enabling these traffickers , by providing them with rooms and cover for their dirty deeds .
However , these are reactive responses to a menace that grows more sophisticated by the day .
We need to be preemptive and proactive in our understanding of the threats and smarter and more sophisticated in our responses , as well .
What we are dealing with is a culture that is grooming these young children , especially young girls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As Jami Nesbitt writes for Bark , “ Grooming is the process by which someone befriends and gains the trust of a child ( and sometimes the child ’ s friends and family ) in order to take advantage of the child for sexual purposes.
” There are usually six stages to grooming by a sexual predator : friendship ( targeting and gaining trust ) ; relationship ( filling the child ’ s needs ) ; gauging the level of protection surrounding the child ; exclusivity ( isolating the child from others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to sex talk and activities ) ; and abuse .
All of those screen devices being passed along to children at ever-younger ages ?
They have become the sexual predator ’ s primary means of gaining access to young people , and it ’ s primarily happening online .
As The New York Times reports : Indeed , video games such as Minecraft and Fortnite , social media apps such as TikTok and Instagram , and online chat forums have become “ hunting grounds ” for sexual predators .
Again from The New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sloane Ryan , a 37-year-old woman who poses as an 11-year-old girl online in order to better understand predation and help those who are fighting it , wrote a chilling account of the kinds of solicitations she received after merely uploading a generic photo ( of her 11-year-old self ) to Instagram .
“ By the end of two-and-a-half hours , I ’ ve had seven video calls , ignored another two dozen of them , text-chatted with 17 men ( some who had messaged her before , gearing back up in hopes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the genitalia of 11 of those , ” notes Ryan .
“ I ’ ve also fielded ( and subsequently denied ) multiple requests for above-the-waist nudity ( in spite of being clear that Bailey ’ s breasts have not yet developed ) and below-the-waist nudity.
” This is the new face of how predators are grooming young girls ( and boys ) to be trafficked , molested and raped .
However , it starts much earlier , with a culture that has brainwashed itself into believing that sexual freedom amounts to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women spend 20 minutes twerking , gyrating ( some of it on a stripper pole ) and showing off sexually provocative dance moves .
This is part and parcel of the pornification of American culture .
“ Pop culture and porn culture have become part of the same seamless continuum , ” explains theatre historian and University of Illinois professor Mardia Bishop .
“ As these images become pervasive in popular culture , they become normalized… and… accepted.
” This foray into porn culture—the increasing acceptability and pervasiveness of sexualized imagery in mainstream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turn .
“ Visual images and narratives of music videos clearly have more potential to form attitudes , values , or perceptions of social reality than does the music alone , ” notes author Douglas A. Gentile in his book Media Violence and Children .
In fact , music videos are among the worst culprits constantly bombarding young people today with sexual images and references .
Screen time has become the primary culprit for the oversexualization of young people .
Little wonder when 8-to-12-year-olds spend almost 5 hours daily on screen media ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ screen devices ) and that does not include time spent using those devices for school or homework .
A good chunk of that screen time is gobbled up by YouTube , which has been repeatedly red flagged by watchdog groups for peddling violent imagery , drug references , racist language and sexually suggestive content at young viewers .
Music videos overwhelmingly contain sexually suggestive materials , and with the advent of portable technology , children ’ s television and music are often unmonitored by parents or guardians .
In fact , one study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents have caught young children repeating offensive lyrics or copying “ porn-style ” dance moves after being exposed to explicit pop music .

As Aldous Huxley explains in his introduction to :

“The brutal reality is that a predator doesn’t have to be in the same room, building, or even country to abuse a child. And that’s what they’re doing — subjecting children to psychological and sexual abuse.”—“I’m a 37-Year-Old Mom & I Spent Seven Days Online as an 11-Year-Old Girl. Here’s What I Learned,” Medium
What can we do to protect America’s young people from sexual predators?
That’s the question I keep getting asked by people who, having read my article on the growing danger of young boys and girls (some as young as 9 years old) being bought and sold for sex, want to do something proactive to stop these monsters in their tracks.
It is estimated that the number of children who are at risk of being trafficked or have already been sold into the sex trade would fill 1300 school buses.
While those who seek to buy young children for sex come from all backgrounds, races, ages and work forces, they do have one thing in common: 99% of them are men.
This is not a problem with an easy fix.
That so many children continue to be victimized, brutalized and treated like human cargo is due to three things: one, a consumer demand that is increasingly lucrative for everyone involved—except the victims; two, a level of corruption so invasive on both a local and international scale that there is little hope of working through established channels for change; and three, an eerie silence from individuals who fail to speak out against such atrocities.
Sure, there are things that can be done to catch those who trade in young flesh: police need to do a better job of training, identifying and responding to these issues; communities and social services need to do a better job of protecting runaways, who are the primary targets of traffickers, and educating parents and young people about the dangers; legislators need to pass legislation aimed at prosecuting traffickers and “johns,” the buyers who drive the demand for sex slaves; and hotels need to stop enabling these traffickers, by providing them with rooms and cover for their dirty deeds.
However, these are reactive responses to a menace that grows more sophisticated by the day.
We need to be preemptive and proactive in our understanding of the threats and smarter and more sophisticated in our responses, as well.
What we are dealing with is a culture that is grooming these young children, especially young girls, to be preyed upon by men.
As Jami Nesbitt writes for Bark, “Grooming is the process by which someone befriends and gains the trust of a child (and sometimes the child’s friends and family) in order to take advantage of the child for sexual purposes.”
There are usually six stages to grooming by a sexual predator: friendship (targeting and gaining trust); relationship (filling the child’s needs); gauging the level of protection surrounding the child; exclusivity (isolating the child from others); sexualization (desensitizing the child to sex talk and activities); and abuse.
All of those screen devices being passed along to children at ever-younger ages? They have become the sexual predator’s primary means of gaining access to young people, and it’s primarily happening online. As The New York Times reports:
“Sexual predators have found an easy access point into the lives of young people: They are meeting them online through multiplayer video games and chat apps, making virtual connections right in their victims’ homes. Many of the interactions lead to crimes of ‘sextortion,’ in which children are coerced into sending explicit imagery of themselves.”
Indeed, video games such as Minecraft and Fortnite, social media apps such as TikTok and Instagram, and online chat forums have become “hunting grounds” for sexual predators.
Again from The New York Times:
“Criminals strike up a conversation and gradually build trust. Often they pose as children, confiding in their victims with false stories of hardship or self-loathing. Their goal, typically, is to dupe children into sharing sexually explicit photos and videos of themselves — which they use as blackmail for more imagery, much of it increasingly graphic and violent. Reports of abuse are emerging with unprecedented frequency around the country, with some perpetrators grooming hundreds and even thousands of victims.”
One Bark investigator, Sloane Ryan, a 37-year-old woman who poses as an 11-year-old girl online in order to better understand predation and help those who are fighting it, wrote a chilling account of the kinds of solicitations she received after merely uploading a generic photo (of her 11-year-old self) to Instagram. “By the end of two-and-a-half hours, I’ve had seven video calls, ignored another two dozen of them, text-chatted with 17 men (some who had messaged her before, gearing back up in hopes for more interaction), and seen the genitalia of 11 of those,” notes Ryan. “I’ve also fielded (and subsequently denied) multiple requests for above-the-waist nudity (in spite of being clear that Bailey’s breasts have not yet developed) and below-the-waist nudity.”
This is the new face of how predators are grooming young girls (and boys) to be trafficked, molested and raped. However, it starts much earlier, with a culture that has brainwashed itself into believing that sexual freedom amounts to a Super Bowl half-time show in which barely-clad women spend 20 minutes twerking, gyrating (some of it on a stripper pole) and showing off sexually provocative dance moves.
This is part and parcel of the pornification of American culture.
As commentator Dixie Laite writes for Bust magazine:
Sex sells. Madonna knew it when she crawled the VMA stage very much not “Like a Virgin”. Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney and countless others have climbed that ladder to fame… Last time I looked, we as a nation absolutely adored this so-called slutty behavior. I see people voting with their dollars and their attention to Playboy’s Bunnies, Victoria’s Secrets, strippers, people who dress like strippers, and girls who’ve gone wild.
“Pop culture and porn culture have become part of the same seamless continuum,” explains theatre historian and University of Illinois professor Mardia Bishop. “As these images become pervasive in popular culture, they become normalized… and… accepted.”
This foray into porn culture—the increasing acceptability and pervasiveness of sexualized imagery in mainstream media—is where pop culture takes a dark turn. “Visual images and narratives of music videos clearly have more potential to form attitudes, values, or perceptions of social reality than does the music alone,” notes author Douglas A. Gentile in his book Media Violence and Children. In fact, music videos are among the worst culprits constantly bombarding young people today with sexual images and references.
Screen time has become the primary culprit for the oversexualization of young people.
Little wonder when 8-to-12-year-olds spend almost 5 hours daily on screen media (teens rack up nearly 8 hours on screen devices) and that does not include time spent using those devices for school or homework.
A good chunk of that screen time is gobbled up by YouTube, which has been repeatedly red flagged by watchdog groups for peddling violent imagery, drug references, racist language and sexually suggestive content at young viewers.
Music videos overwhelmingly contain sexually suggestive materials, and with the advent of portable technology, children’s television and music are often unmonitored by parents or guardians. In fact, one study found that more than 80% of parents have caught young children repeating offensive lyrics or copying “porn-style” dance moves after being exposed to explicit pop music.
Numerous studies have found that exposure to sexual content in music, movies, television, and magazines accelerate adolescent sexual behavior: this is how young people are being groomed for sex by a predator culture.
As Jessica Bennett notes in “The Pornification of a Generation” for Newsweek:
“In a market that sells high heels for babies and thongs for tweens, it doesn’t take a genius to see that sex, if not porn, has invaded our lives. Whether we welcome it or not, television brings it into our living rooms and the Web brings it into our bedrooms… All it takes is one look at [social media] photos of teens to see examples—if they aren’t imitating porn they’ve actually seen, they’re imitating the porn-inspired images and poses they’ve absorbed elsewhere. Latex, corsets and stripper heels, once the fashion of porn stars, have made their way into middle and high school… Celebrities, too, have become amateur porn stars. They show up in sex tapes (Colin Farrell, Kim Kardashian), hire porn producers to shoot their videos (Britney Spears) or produce porn outright (Snoop Dogg). Actual porn stars and call girls, meanwhile, have become celebs. Ron Jeremy regularly takes cameos in movies and on TV, while adult star Jenna Jameson is a best-selling author.”
How we got to this place in time, where children are sexualized at an early age and trotted out as easy targets for all manner of predators is not really all that hard to decipher, but it requires a certain amount of candor.
First, there is nothing sexually liberating about young women—young girls—reducing themselves to little more than sex objects and prancing about like prostitutes.
Second, this is a dangerous game that can only end in tragic consequences: there are sexual predators out there only too eager to take advantage of any innuendo-laced sexual “invitations” being put out there, intentional or not.
Third, if it looks like porn, sounds like porn and imitates porn, it is porn, and it is devastating on every front, turning women into objects for male aggression.
Fourth, no matter what its champions might say about the First Amendment and women’s liberation, pornography in all its forms—whether overtly packaged as skin flicks and mags or more subtly disguised by pop culture as trendy music videos and precocious clothing—is about one thing only: money.
Fifth, parents: turn off your cell phones for a change and tune into what your kids are watching, reading, listening to, and whom they are emulating.
And finally, remember that the sexualization of young children is part of a larger continuum in America that runs the gamut from sexualized entertainment, the glorification of a pimp/ho culture, and a billion dollar sex industry built on the back of pornography, music, entertainment, etc., and ends with these same young people being bought and sold for sex. It is estimated that the porn industry brings in more money than Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Yahoo.
That this issue continues to be treated with a shrug, especially by those who claim to care about the state of our freedoms, is not only surprising and unnerving but also dangerously oblivious.
Like so many of the evils in our midst, sex trafficking (and the sexualization of young people) is a cultural disease that is rooted in the American police state’s heart of darkness. It speaks to a sordid, far-reaching corruption that stretches from the highest seats of power (governmental and corporate) down to the most hidden corners and relies on our silence and our complicity to turn a blind eye to wrongdoing.
You don’t have to be a parent to care about what’s happening to our young people. Likewise, you shouldn’t have to subscribe to any particular political viewpoint to recognize and be alarmed by the authoritarian trajectory of the nation.
Those concerned about the emerging police state in America, which I detail in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People , should be equally concerned about the sex trafficking of young girls (and boys) and the pornification of America: they are two sides of the same coin.
As Aldous Huxley explains in his introduction to Brave New World :
As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or conquered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.

The Senate Duty in Impeachment Trials

“ [ T ] he Senate may dismiss articles of impeachment without holding a full trial or taking any evidence… Put another way , the Constitution does not impose on the Senate the duty to hold a trial .
In fact , the Senate need not hold a trial even though the House wishes to present evidence and hold a full trial [ . ]
” “ In a number of previous impeachment trials , the Senate has reached the judgment that its constitutional role as sole trier of impeachments does not require it to take new evidence or hear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words of former Senator Joe Biden who argued during the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton that witnesses , according to a memo obtained by Politico , should be rejected by the Senate .
Politico also reported , “ While the Senate eventually requested the testimony of three witnesses in the impeachment trial of Clinton — Monica Lewinsky , Vernon Jordan , and Sidney Blumenthal — each of those witnesses had already been deposed before the House of Representatives or a federal grand jury following lengthy litigation .
The Senate refused to call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t already formed a basis for the impeachment articles against Clinton.
” Last week we established that the claims of the House were erroneous and “ pretended articles of impeachment ” because they fail to make a case for impeachment even if they were true .
Firstly , neither of the Articles contains an accusation of criminal conduct on the part of the President .
Secondly , separation of powers deems “ Obstruction of Congress ” not possible for a President who has every right and privilege to disagree with Congress and owes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to keep his Oath to the Constitution .
Article 1 , Section 2 , determines , “ The House of Representatives… shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
” This means the House is the prosecuting attorney , the one who holds the sole duty to build the case against the said defendant .
This includes evidence , accusations , and the compiling of witness testimonies with the desire that a jury will bring a conviction based on the evidence they have prepared and presented .
After the House votes with a simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate takes over to try the evidence similar to the function of a jury .
Article 1 , Section 3 , of the Constitution states : “ The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments…And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.
” So we see clearly here that Senator Biden was right .
The job of the Senate is not to compile evidence or call new witnesses .
Furthermore , if more evidence or witnesses are required , this would only show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the House for presenting a rushed case lacking due diligence before the “ court ” .
The “ Pelosi impeachment ” is the first in history without bi-partisan support and now the “ party of Pelosi ” is demanding the Senate make up for the shortfalls of the House ?

“[T]he Senate may dismiss articles of impeachment without holding a full trial or taking any evidence… Put another way, the Constitution does not impose on the Senate the duty to hold a trial. In fact, the Senate need not hold a trial even though the House wishes to present evidence and hold a full trial[.]” “In a number of previous impeachment trials, the Senate has reached the judgment that its constitutional role as sole trier of impeachments does not require it to take new evidence or hear live witness testimony.”
These are the words of former Senator Joe Biden who argued during the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton that witnesses, according to a memo obtained by Politico, should be rejected by the Senate.
Politico also reported, “While the Senate eventually requested the testimony of three witnesses in the impeachment trial of Clinton — Monica Lewinsky, Vernon Jordan, and Sidney Blumenthal — each of those witnesses had already been deposed before the House of Representatives or a federal grand jury following lengthy litigation. The Senate refused to call new witnesses whose previous testimony hadn’t already formed a basis for the impeachment articles against Clinton.”
(You can read Biden’s full memorandum here.)
Last week we established that the claims of the House were erroneous and “pretended articles of impeachment” because they fail to make a case for impeachment even if they were true.
Firstly, neither of the Articles contains an accusation of criminal conduct on the part of the President.
Secondly, separation of powers deems “Obstruction of Congress” not possible for a President who has every right and privilege to disagree with Congress and owes them no duty that supersedes his duty to keep his Oath to the Constitution.
Article 1, Section 2, determines, “The House of Representatives… shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”
This means the House is the prosecuting attorney, the one who holds the sole duty to build the case against the said defendant. This includes evidence, accusations, and the compiling of witness testimonies with the desire that a jury will bring a conviction based on the evidence they have prepared and presented.
After the House votes with a simple majority to impeach a President, the Senate takes over to try the evidence similar to the function of a jury. Article 1, Section 3, of the Constitution states: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments…And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.”
So we see clearly here that Senator Biden was right. The job of the Senate is not to compile evidence or call new witnesses.
Furthermore, if more evidence or witnesses are required, this would only show a dereliction of duty on the part of the House for presenting a rushed case lacking due diligence before the “court”.
The “Pelosi impeachment” is the first in history without bi-partisan support and now the “party of Pelosi” is demanding the Senate make up for the shortfalls of the House?
We would do well to heed the words of Declaration author Thomas Jefferson, “Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.”
