Who will be the victims of the government's next attack on legally protected speech that it wishes to silence? - Michael Lacey & Jim Larkin
Acting and ActivismWhy are so many "celebrities" such hypocritical trash?
A Whore in Church[Comedian Bill] Maher [said] during Friday's Real Time..."OnlyFans is staying in the porn business...because their fans would not take it...if there's one thing millennials love more than canceling the patriarchy it's women having sex for money"...So, in Maher's mind, "women having sex for money" is anti-feminist and a product of the patriarchy. Women couldn't possibly be sex workers of their own volition...It's...strange given how Maher has solicited the services of sex workers in the past...and dated a number of others-including Karine Steffans...who once said of him, "Bill wants someone he can put down in an argument, tell you how ghetto you are, how big your butt is and that you're an idiot"...
Matthew 21:31 seems pretty straightforward to me:
The Puritan Recrudescence (#1124)A Christian OnlyFans star...has been [attacked by religious fanatics for] saying "Jesus would have loved sex workers". Nita Marie...believes her sexuality is a divine gift, and that God gave her permission to strip...after [she] ask[ed] him directly in prayer - but...so...[called "Christians" who seem poorly acquainted with the Gospels] are calling her a "grifter", and [some are so] delusional [they imagine] that it "might be Satan"...answering her prayers...
I have no sympathy for members of the dangerous "porn addiction" cult:
I Spy (#1154)"BlockerX", a porn [autocensor] application, has failed to protect its Amazon AWS instance...result[ing in]...exposure of its user[s']...personal details...The owner of the app...Atmana Innovations, responded immediately...but the period of exposure remains unknown. "BlockerX" is a subscription service that...cost[s] users $7.50 per month or $180 in a single lifetime payment...[and censors anything its algorithms register as] adult content ...The...danger for...exposed users...is extortionists who could...threaten...to publish the fact that they [imagine their normal sexual behavior constitutes an "]addiction["]...
Fascism is rapidly making private communications a thing of the past:
A federal court ruled...that...drugs [stolen] by police from a package [th]at [did not belong to them were] not seized unconstitutionally [despite the lack of a warrant]...At the center of the decision is a little-known [fascist pact between FedEx and the cops, which] allow[s pigs to root through]...parcels at the shipping behemoth's sorting centers...if [they claim] a...dog [gave them permission]...cops...[can then] dress up as FedEx delivery men...[to deceive the victim and] arrest...them...The court d[ecision is based in the legal fiction that an individual's property no longer belongs to him while in the hands of a third party, such as] FedEx...[thus creating the] con[venient pretense that] it...own[s the packages]...and it can [give them to] the police [without warrant or permission of the actual owner]...The agreement evokes Apple's recent announcement that it will scan people's photos [in order to sell them down the river]...the relationship between FedEx and police...has quietly existed for some time, says John Wesley Hall, an expert in Fourth Amendment law..."FedEx...[has] always cooperated...with them-even loans them the truck"...
It's OK for a company to sell out its customers, because drugs are bad.
Michael Lacey & Jim Larkin remind you of what their trial, which began Wednesday, is actually about:
On April 6, 2018, the federal government eradicated an entire classified ads website containing speech that was 100-percent legal...The publication of speech...by users is legally protected; so is "offensive" speech and speech the government does not like. Numerous federal courts said just that, in cases involving Backpage...whenever any concern arose...our company voluntarily aided law enforcement and government entities such as the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This is documented extensively by court records...and the government's own reports...Since the FBI seized Backpage, adult advertising has, predictably, fled overseas to companies that do not respond to U.S. subpoenas...The culprits here are...self-serving politicians with historical vendettas and overzealous prosecutors who placed their own ambition above the safety and welfare of women...The prosecution has engaged in years of scurrilous tactics, such as destroying evidence, abusing the grand jury process, and seizing all the money we set aside for legal expenses...
If you haven't been following this tag, I suggest you peruse it today; the various articles I've linked will show you exactly the kind of evil, completely-illegal shenanigans the government has pulled over the past three years in its crusade to crucify journalists who wouldn't make obeisance to its censorious diktats.
To Molest and Rape (#1166)
Notice how often predatory cops' victims are underage?
[Typical and representative Florida cop] Travis Ryan Pritchard [was sentenced] to 35 years in federal prison for [rap]ing...a 15-year-old [girl and filming it]...Pritchard was also [condemned to the]...sex offender [registry]...From December 2019 through May 2, 2020, Pritchard...had sexually abused [the victim] on a weekly basis...[but finally she had enough and reported him, and another cop role-played her to]...chat...with Pritchard using [a popular] app. Late in the night of May 1, 2020, and into the early morning hours of the next day, Pritchard [harassed] the [cop he thought was his victim] to sneak out of her home to meet with him...Pritchard's cellular telephone revealed many [such] conversations...[and a] folder containing numerous...child [porn pics, including one]...of the rape of a prepubescent [girl]...
" The sex worker rights movement is getting too loud to ignore ":
...It remains to be seen whether [OnlyFans] will be true to its word but to force the hand of such a giant corporation is no small feat...That a platform which built its fortune on the backs of sex workers might, at a moment's notice, ditch us, is no surprise; it would be the latest in the slow but sure eradication of sex workers from online spaces...Throughout the fiasco, both MasterCard and OnlyFans were keen to separate themselves from the potential destitution of creators and to claim their credentials as non-haters of sex workers...multi-billion dollar companies fall[ing] over themselves to maintain the veneer of corporate virtue is grotesque...Still, in the conflicted responses there is hope...it's clear that the sex worker rights movement is too loud to ignore...
