It's time to put the North American Man-Boy Love Association, more commonly known as NAMBLA, or even more commonly hated and despised as on of world's worst supporters of perverts, "Kiddie Porn" producers and other unspeakable acts out of business by declaring it a Terrorist Organization.
That would put it on a level with al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, etc.
For once, however, I'm going to give our Islamofascist enemies a break and decide to put NAMBLA even lower than our sworn foes abroad. At least the Islamicists are dead set against the scummy behavior and views supported by NAMBLA. The attacks of 9/11 were carried out in part because of Osama bin Laden's (quite justifiable hatred) of this aspect of a free "western civilized society." He warned us in his Fatwa issued during the mid 90's.
bin Laden was particularly complaining about the volume and rapidity of this swill of kiddie and other degrading porn being pumped through the internet across the globe in mere seconds. We dismissed him because we thought he was just a crazy Islamic radical. "Hey, we're a solid Christian nation. We have good safeguards," and so forth. Dream on I say and so did bin Laden.
Perhaps I shared this story before, but it bears repeating, particularly given the time line of the Curley case and bin Laden's Fatwa. I'm not saying what follows has any direct link with either of the other two; but the timing and our social attitudes reflected back then showed how badly out of touch we were with the ugly realities around us.
Back in the mid 90's I was working for Mount Holyoke College's Library. One day a past-Head Librarian put out a sort of "food for thought" article she got over the net about the Clinton administration's desire to put some kind of devices in library computers to keep kids from looking at smut. Never the most circumspect guy, I responded in defense of the Clinton Justice officials, (also remind other readers that it wasn't "censorship" in the classical sense of the term that I was seeking, but some protection for kids from porn which has been known to psychologically mess people up. I'm not going to discuss the obvious morality behind the administration's goals. Obvious, right? (Dream on, Barrett, your learning curve about your freedom of speech to defend an innocuous act was about to be forever altered.)
A fellow library staffer (and German native) jumped all over me, instantly demanding me to submit my resignation immediately. Nobody who works in a library should ever besmirch such an institution by advocating the least amount of censorship. Not even on behalf of national security issues? No! Not even to protect kids from sickos? No! Nothing? Absolutely nothing. No slack whatsoever. Well I didn't lose my job then, and he went back to the Fatherland. But my head was full of swirling ironies thanks to a lifetime of memories and a childhood, of which a part was spent in Germany where my dad was part of the American Air Force stationed there to keep the real masters of censorship at bay.
It wasn't in the least bit pleasant knowing somebody was out to rip you to shreds in every fellow employee's computer screen. I "pushed back" on the screen, and it went back and forth for a few days, until the boss had enough and it came up in a meeting, during which I simply sat and smirked as others stepped up to remind this representative of the land of Goebbels that we believe in free speech, which includes the right to freely say, "enough is enough" when it comes to areas that don't merit full freedom of disclosure.
Somewhere along the line in our social development the most absolutist people were those who would defend almost to their deaths the right to denounce with impunity others who simply couldn't stand to see the guardrails of a free society torn down to suit the deconstructionism of a miniscule number of extremely selfish uncouth goons.
In case anyone has any doubts as to the enormity of the problem dealing with sexual child abuse, then they should read the linked article "Child Porn vs. Child Protection"
by Janice Shaw Crouse appearing in today's Townhall.com. Pay close attention to the paragraph dealing with the arrest of a Homeland Security Department employee (of all agencies) and the outrageous NAMBLA inspired and defended sexual abuse/murder of little Jeffery Curley, of Cambridge, MA.
I remember the Curley case pretty well. It shocked all New England and it was one of those emotional heart-ripping events that left the Boston area in particular, not only on edge for their kids, but also for their justifiable anger that not only such an unspeakable crime couldve been committed -- but that there'd be people to defend the "men" who did this boy in.
Read Crouse's description of the kidnapping and murder. Then look at this boy's picture and ask yourself if you don't think NAMBLA shouldn't be considered a terrori st organization, if not at least a Fifth Column of sorts. They aren't just a "new england" outfit. They're everywhere. And as for the kiddie porn merchants, they're part of the "adult entertainment industrial sexual slave complex," a multi-BILLION dollar empire of filth, degredation and exploitation. It's primarily based in Southern California and Southern Florida, where it receives so many young victims either pulled off of our streets or imported as "party girls" from the Ukraine and Russia, in addition to thousands of girls shipped into Florida through a pipeline of flesh smuggers operating on the state's less developed Gulf coast and Panhandle.
If anyone objects to my injection of "morality" here; well, then that's his or her problem, especially if they're speaking up for the ACLU. It's time for them to punt, esp. on this NAMBLA garbage they've been defending far too long. Walk away, now!
