Breaking: Powerful men use boys:

1. Been thinking of that a lot today. This just came out on HuffPo:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/10/penn-state-scandal-rumors-sandusky-pimping_n_1086099.html?ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false#sb=566551,b=facebook

[LiberalEsto]

2. Why can't people leave kids alone?

This is beyond sickening.

[OneGrassRoot]

4. It is. :( n/t

[get the red out]

16. That's the scandal I was thinking of

A book was written about it.

[OneGrassRoot]

23. Yes ma'am. You know...

the largest, most widespread scandals are often revealed in surprising ways.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this Sandusky story has legs that lead away from Happy Valley, into DC...and Wall Street.

[get the red out]

25. Me neither

And if those legs start running in the media Sandusky might need to be put on "suicide" watch.

[zappaman]

3. Unrec

Really?
The Washington Times???

[Ptah]

5. What is inaccurate about the story?

[Hydra]

7. Did you just un-rec for a reminder of the call boys scandal at the WH

That nobody has ever wanted to talk about?

Epic fail!

[Nostradammit]

8. LMAO !

Hitting a little too close to home for you, "zappaman"?

[zappaman]

31. well, if you're implying I like to fuck little boys...

then you'd be wrong.
it's from a shitty source.
give a better one or go fuck yourself.

22. Times is published by Rev. Moon -- the Republicon Bagman and Second Coming Christ

That does make it extra super stankin double-duty diaper sex strange. But, we are talking Republicons here...so, enuf said.

[Mnemosyne]

26. You do know about the Bush connection to Moon, do you not? n/t

[justiceischeap]

6. Franklin Coverup? nt

[get the red out]

18. Yes

The book about it was horrific and I will admit, on the conspiracy side. But considering the people involved.....

[KurtNYC]

9. Sandusky raped children, grade school aged children

That is not the same as hiring adult prostitutes so I am not sure what comparison you are making.

I think one thing we could do as a society to help prevent more of this is to stop calling the rape of male children "molestation." Let's call it what it is: rape and arrest Sandusky and his enablers.

[LiberalEsto]

10. Some of them were boys nt

[Ptah]

11. I might be mistaken, but I thought many of the prostitutes were underage.

I may be incorrect.

[get the red out]

17. Many were underage, as I recall

I don't think the media ever went far enough in covering it. Wonder why?

[justiceischeap]

13. I'd bet ya some of those "call boys"/prostitutes were under age

A lot of "call boys" are underage teen runaways. May not be the same as grade school boys but can still be considered rape whether it's paid for or not.

[CoffeeCat]

30. Yes, and please remember that younger "prostitutes"...

...are usually sex slaves. They are controlled by pimps or others who have
power over them. These are not just simply young people who have decided
that their live calling is to have sex with middle-aged men and make a few
dollars doing it.

These kids are usually runaways that are preyed upon by pedophiles and those
who serve up victims to pedophiles. These kids are completely traumatized.

We all know that Sandusky was a raging child predator. Look at the charity
he founded and ran--Second Mile. This charity specifically was for boys
from troubled and dysfunctional homes. This entire charity was run as
a buffet line for Sandusky--and most likely others--to pick and choose
from a constant supply of victims.

This charity was nothing more than a trap to ensnare victims. Sandusky
sure as hell wasn't interested in the health and well being of children.

39. +1

[arcane1]

14. The Franklin story involved underaged boys n/t

[undeterred]

12. Breaking: powerful men use everyone.

[Hubert Flottz]

15. No shit!

Always have and always will.

[krispos42]

33. Yeah, but I'm not personally, physically being raped by one of them.

And neither is my child.

He will be raped over my dead body, as a matter of fact.

[Lint Head]

19. If the truth is told the country would be turned upside down in 24 hours.

Powerful people have kept the so called 'lid' on things for a long time. People who think the Penn deal is an aberration are kidding themselves.

[freshwest]

40. It needs to be. And scrap all the crap off and clean it up.

[Raksha]

41. The truth--the WHOLE truth--is going to be told,

and it will turn the country upside down as you said. I don't think the PTB can stop it, but they seem to be trying to slow it down if at all possible. What's happening now looks like a desperate attempt at stalling for time.

[SpiralHawk]

20. The Bush pedo scandal has roots in Nebraska, and Nebraska is headed to Penn State

this very Saturday to play Paterno's team.

It's a regular Republicon Pedo-thon Party.

Coincidence?

[Major Nikon]

21. Has to be part of the conspiracy

There can be no other reasonable explanation.

[SpiralHawk]

24. Don't know about that...but

something super-stanky strange is going on in the occult Republicon Homeland.

[deadinsider]

34. That's weird.

Strange coincidence.

Yeah, the Franklin Scandal is pretty gross just like this one. But its far from a 'conspiracy theory.' It's just a plain ole conspiracy.

[freshwest]

27. Read a Virginia Beach, VA paper online, suggesting it was regular way of getting ahead in the GOP.

A sort of patrician system where the younger have to pay to advance with the old boys. Give your body to the rich old dude, and he makes sure you're on your way. Isn't this Scott Brown's story, except it was with a priest.

It's NOT about sexuality, it's about age, privilege, money and power. These creatures have had everything for so long, and see younger men and women and children as nothing more than play things for their amusement. They've been running the show too long.

We need to protect the kids, and all who are subject to being used and abused. Because we were all kids once, and we may be subject to abuse for various reasons ourselves, due to social circumstance, disability or age. It's dangerous to ignore this.

[snot]

35. It wd be interesting to see an investigation that traces what becomes of such boys thru the yrs.

I expect some are helped, but that some are just slaves, that some "disappear," and that dam' few thrive over the long run.

[freshwest]

36. You're correct, IMHO. But some appear to be successful, like Scott Brown in MA. I consider him to..

Still be a victim of the authoritarian system that abused him, he just went from being abused by a priest to being used by the GOP.

Most suffer in silence for the rest of their lives, people wonder why some people are so hostile and withdrawn, or have addictions that lead them down the road to death.

All of them are stunted in some way, even though they have fought hard to overcome of those that I've known. The worse the abuse, the less they say. Who can blame them for not coming forward, when they see their abusers continuing to be rewarded and thought of so highly?

They know they will be ridiculed or their motives questioned. Those with the money will not be so scrutinized. They live in private behind the varied institutions and organizations they belong to. And that is how they will get away with these things

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. link goes to malicious website.

[Ptah]

29. No link in the OP.

Just a photobucket image.

[flvegan]

32. Not all of us.

Can we not generalize, please?

[seabeyond]

37. don't you think everyone knows not every single man is raping young boys? nt

[RegieRocker]

38. It is all about power. That is why Republicans say they hate

Gays. It's not because they "hate them", it's because they don't want them to have equal footing with them. Then they loose the power.

[Karenina]

42. Indeed they do. EVERYWHERE.
