They say prostitutes can't go to the police when they're victims of crime. Yeah right.

Currently, within a small segment of YouTube, Radical and/or Marxist feminists and Pro-sex industry people are bumping heads over what to do regarding prostitution. The pro people say that decriminalization is the only reasonable answer while the feminist position sees prostitution as a capitalist extension of violence against women and would much rather see the demand lessened.



The pro side argues that prostitutes need decriminalization in order to be able to go to the police to report crimes against them. This article quite clearly shows that prostitutes who have been violated can clearly go to law enforcement without worrying about whether they'll be charged.



I don't see how decriminalization is going to make any difference when it comes to reporting crimes. However, decriminalization will definitely mean that prostitution is seen as a job like any other and may even have a career booth at your local middle and high schools. How many parents do you think will approve of their daughters or sons coming home from school one day and saying, 'guess what Ma, I think I wan't to be a prostitute. It seems like a lot of fun.'



Also, the pro side argues that social stigma will disappear once prostitution is decriminalized. Well, it's been legalized in certain areas of Nevada and there's still as much stigma as there ever was.



Do you think Todd Mills would care whether or not prostitution was decriminalized?

Suspect’s city shocked at rape inquiry

To his neighbors in Shelby, Todd A. Mills is a loving father of five who works a steady job, belongs to the First Presbyterian Church and serves on the volunteer fire department.
He is quick to wave and keeps the lawn neatly trimmed in front of his white ranch-style home on the northwest edge of town. He often does yard work while wearing a bandanna on his head.

The same kind of bandanna that victims told police their attacker wore during a series of rapes of at least three – and possibly as many as seven – women, some of who say they were prostitutes.
Mills, 45, who told police he frequented Omaha prostitutes, was arrested Aug. 10. He is being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

In Douglas County, Mills faces two counts of first-degree sexual assault, two counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony, one count of kidnapping connected with the Aug. 2 attack and one count of false imprisonment tied to an assault that took place two years ago.

In Iowa, Mills is charged with first-degree sexual assault and kidnapping in a May 14 attack. In that case, authorities say, a 33-year-old woman was grabbed near 29th Street and Park Avenue in Omaha, then taken to rural Council Bluffs and sexually assaulted.
Authorities have not released Mills’ photograph, saying they continue to use it in photo lineups as they try to learn whether there are others who never reported assaults.
The most recent reported attack occurred Aug. 2. A 31-year-old woman, seven months pregnant, said she was abducted from 24th and Spencer Streets about 5 a.m.
He told police he regularly had sex with prostitutes in Omaha and twice drove prostitutes from north Omaha to River Road, near Interstate 29 north of Council Bluffs.

Mills said that he had been rough with some of the women and that there were at least four times he had sex with prostitutes but refused to pay, according to the affidavit.Read more at www.southwestiowanews.com

Dedicated to The Liars Among Us

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hatpin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Hey you Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.




There's gonna be some RADICAL changes indeed. This is just my way of confronting my own feelings about the CHARADE that's going on. Keep on digging!

If I Had a Million Dollars, I'd Buy You a Quaker Parrot

Ok Miss Owl, feast your eyes on some baby bird love. THIS is how I want to raise our Quaker. I want to get one or two when they're that young so they bond properly with us.

See how the owner is rubbing the beak? That's part of the bonding. Think of this way, you never bite the hands that feed you! Also, they can smell her. See, dear, my fans call me a harpy but little do they know how much of a compliment that is!

Listen to the little one twittering away!



Ok, time for some cuddling from the Quakers! This is just mild cuddling. It gets much much worse when you're in love!



Have you realized how much I love Quaker Parrots yet? Oh but we're not done here Missy! Let's have a bath first and then some SUPER SNUGGLING!




I bet you noticed in that video the little snug that hopped up for a kiss. Oh there's NOTHING like a Quaker kiss and snug! But, those birds are pretty smart. They may be smaller than an Amazon parrot but they pack a wollop in the talking and playing department. Take a look at Tron!



All this Quaker foreplay has made me tired! I think I'll take a nap in your hands. Now that is trust.





There you have it my dear, and ladies, gentlemen, and the like! This was a close encounter of the bird kind! Everyone say 'Diana adores birds!'. If it's one thing that can make my disability pain in my body go away, it's the natural world! Just being in the presence of nature's magnificent creatures, great and small, makes all the pain go away and makes me feel balanced, grounded, and joyful.

These are sides of me that I haven't really shared very much at all. There's been so much drama and such that I have forgotten what makes me joyful. Since I stood up for myself I'm feeling much much better.

I'm about to explain some serious issues so if you don't want to continue reading then by all means close this tab and exit my blog.

Ridding Myself of the Drama: The Hurt and the Seriousness Of This:

My other half, you know the girlfriend I DO have, was worried I was slipping into a depression over the abuse I've been taking from Divinity and her friends. Admittedly, it was getting to me and I was hurting over it. The one that loves you the most sees things sometimes that you don't see. Since I have been clinically depressed in the past I developed strategies to be self-aware. I could usually tell if I was starting to get depressed. However, this is one of those times I didn't quite see it happening enough, or in time, to stop it. My writing this in my blog is my way of healing. I also realized that I had some pretty heavy albatrosses around my neck that I absolutely didn't see at all, until recently.

You see, my girlfriend was the director of a battered woman's shelter and she knows all about abuse. I honestly never thought that Divinity was abusing me in the way an intimate partner might. When my other half explained to me the tactics of this I was pretty stunned. She explained the blogtv sessions where Divinity says she's going to propose to me as a very serious lack of boundaries and an assumption on Divinity's part that I am in a relationship with her. I also remember that when Divinity called the 'cyber' police on me she actually told the operator that she did know me. That's another tactic of this kind of interpersonal abuse.

Do you all know that Divinity and her friends are at my girlfriend's blog commenting to her that she needs to stay the fuck away from me because Divinity is my girlfriend? This is true. If I feel the need I will post the comments those folks are leaving for her but they are all being saved. So this leads me to the understanding that Divinity has gone around to others and stated she has an interpersonal relationship with me. If that's not a serious problem then I don't know what is. My girlfriend explained that this tactic is how Divinity justifies her abuse of me.

Well Divinity, if you're reading this, which I know you do come to my blog at least once every 48 hours, then listen up. I want you to leave me alone. You are a sick individual to claim that I like your abuse and to tell others, including my girlfriend, that we have an interpersonal relationship. You do NOT know me in any way. You are unstable and need to stay clear away from me. You need to back off and stop obsessing over me.

And for Divinity's friends: if you think that it's totally normal behaviour for a woman to behave in this way then you have to ask yourself how you're aiding this problem. I know you hear these kinds of things from her. Let me tell you, they're not healthy at all. The best thing you can do for your friend is to help her back off and not to allow her to perpetuate this any longer. All in all, your friend needs serious help.

And let me also say this for the record: Divinity, if you do not leave me alone *I* will file a harassment charge against you in the state of Texas and considering you know I have connections there it's best for you to stay clear of me. I do not know you, nor do you know me. You're harassing me and I've told you several times to stop. A clear boundary needs to be drawn immediately. If you persist you will be charged. Only now do I realize just how dangerous this situation is. You are NOT my girlfriend nor were you my girlfriend. You are not privy to ANY aspect of my personal life. You know nothing about me aside from my presence on YouTube.

If this continues my girlfriend and I will press charges. Leave us both alone.

I am officially alerting my friends to watch out for me and if ANYTHING comes to your attention please gather it and notify me ASAP.

Bring On The Noise

Just got home from work. I had a raving lunatic of a customer tonight. She tried stealing from the store and so I called security to stand at both exits. Legally we cannot search someone who is still in the store, even if we know they have stolen. We have to wait for them to exit the store in order for the search to take place.

So she pocketed some high end makeup. I called security. They took their positions and when she walked out, they asked to to empty her pockets. They asked me what I saw her steal and I told them 'eyeshadow.' She emptied her pockets, swearing at everyone, and there was nothing in them. What she had done was put the merchandise down her pants and since both guards were male they were unable to strip search her.

She threw a bottle at them and ran out.

An hour later she came back with something she did buy and started screaming at me that she wanted my full name so she could sue me. I fucking laughed my ass off. We get these kinds of people pretty regularly and they never are allowed to take names. So she returned her one item, made a scene and left.

The law is a tricky thing. There's the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. I once read a great book by Alan Dershowitz on the trial of OJ Simpson and the reasons why he was acquitted. It was a fantastic book about the way the law actually works.

In the case of OJ, it was the fact that there was sufficient doubt. Although we know that the blood evidence alone is a conviction, the defense was able to raise just enough doubt about the gloves and the timeline. The defense also pulled the highly charged emotional plea which involved Mark Furhman's racism.

The problem here is that the truth can be covered up with appeals to emotion and other such nonsense.

Currently, I am dealing with this. The truth is being ridden with emotional appeals and the facts are getting lost. People are trying to find things to add into the mix so the cognitive dissonance resolves for them.

In fact, there's an assertion that I am somehow pals with Shangi. This is deliberate subterfuge to distract from the ACTUAL information presented. Also, there's the missing comments I supposedly erased. Where is that evidence? Where is the evidence that, on this video I made laughing at the drama master JonDorn, I spoke to Shangi in such a way that makes me his pal?

So if I make ANY comment to this person I suddenly become his friend? Of course not. That's ludicrous.

When someone is lying they try to push things from the past into it to give it more emotional appeal. It doesn't matter that there was no issues with it then. Also, people will immediately condemn instead of asking me what's going on. I find that to be very amazing. It goes to show me that people are more concerned with asserting their own goals in another situation instead of actually looking at the present situation and the facts involved. This is akin to bringing Mark Furhman into the OJ Simpson trial about a movie script that has nothing to do with the actual case. It's a lie, a distraction.

The one thing that's good about this situation is that I now know who my friends are. This is the one positive thing to come from this.

Honestly, I'm too tired to deal with this nonsense. I have other friends who actually ASK me what's going on and not make assumptions. I've been completely honest. I have nothing to hide.

If people want to believe the lies and the subterfuge then so be it. I'm cleaning myself of this shitfest and moving on. I am confident that if ALL the documents are posted by those that lie and manipulate for their own personal issues, it will show the reality.

Some want to play cognitive dissonance and love the drama for the drama's sake. Well, enjoy because I DO stand behind my principles. I only ask, like Diwataman says, that you present things to back up the twisted shit that's being said. It's easy to character assassinate someone and make stupid voices on videos as if I was saying something in a certain way. That's the cowardly way, the manipulative way. Putting the facts out there for the people to decide for themselves is the hardest road and the high road. The truth is out there. Be willing to find it.

The Truth Hurts And Makes Sense

I Am Not Your Whipping Post Jedi/Rememberthediamonds

I have no desire to have any further dealings with Jedimasterbooboo as she's proven to me she's not honest nor trustworthy. Here is a message I sent to her asking her why she was 'converting' people to not mirror my video. It hurt me that she would purposely try to make this a crusade.

Message sent to Jedi: Aug 15th
I'm really hurt that you're trying to get people to take down my video. You're the last person who I thought would ever do that to me especially after all the care and attention I gave to you when you were hurting. Now I'm hurting.

The best thing to do right now so I don't end up walking away forever, is to just give me time.

I feel like you're gaslighting me and it's not nice and I feel completely alienated by my friends. I don't feel understood by you and that's my greatest pain in life. Not being understood.

I did not doc drop her. Anyone who wants to find her is going to find her through their own methods of simply typing in her username on google. In other words, they don't need me to do it.

I can't believe you think a CITY is doc dropping. A city she readily gives out everywhere.

I like licking my wounds in private when I am this hurt. That's one thing about me that not many people know.

I have a backbone. I AM principled. I AM a good person. However, that's not being seen I think and instead everyone's looking at me like I'm the crazy person here. Well, I'm not.

I'm hurt, I don't know who to go to anymore since everyone seems to be IN on i
t.


Then I received this message from Jedi after I came home from work.

Stop bullying me. Don't do this to me.
I have done nothing to engage you in your behaviors, and only supported you.

In fact for now I want you to stay away from me. You have demonstrated some character here that scares me I don't trust you.

If you would like me to remove the comments I just left you, I will.

That hurt me very very much that my good friend, who I've stuck up for, taken a strike on my account for for trying to appeal to shangi and friends to take down the videos that were making Theresa feel suicidal would call me a bully.

So I responded back:

what? You think I bullied you? Where is this coming from? I'm not trying to bully you at all. See, this is exactly what they want. To pit us all against each other. Don't fall for it. We disagree on things. I was hurt. I'm not bullying you.

D
Then I received this message from Jedi:

Your message makes me happy, I left you two comments that I should remove.

Listen, they want that but you are the one that is worrying me.

I hope you understand.


I responded back to Jedi:

My message is one of hurt. not lashing out at you. I'm just hurt. I just watched a video on bullying, well a few of them, and I cried my eyes out.

I.cried.my.eyes.out.
For the last few days I've been trying to understand how a grown woman like Divinity and all her pals can bully. I've been bullied before and I was feeling the same feelings. NOT from Jedi, but from Divinity and her friends. It was also at this time that Jedi left a couple public comments on her video about doc dropping that were directed at me and were not nice. She offered to take them down. I didn't respond but she took them down anyway.

I sent another message to Jedi, trying to explain myself and why her comment telling me I was bullying her hurt me and that I understood. Here is the final message I sent to her:

Jedi,

Listen, I know you've been through hell and back and then some. What I'm actually saying is that I also feel this hell right now and it's no good to stratify each other over it because that's exactly what they want, I will gladly back off if this is going to cause this much friction because the LAST thing I want is to lose my friends. I disagree with your assessment. It's not the end of our friendship because I do.

I am being, just like you, comment stalked, continually harassed by these people. I am still not being left alone. So I understand the why. I understand why you're passionate about what you think is doc dropping. However, that passion is not something we should throw our entire friendship away on.

I'm a feminist and my opinions on here have gotten me attacked for YEARS. I just don't see why my friends would want me to be hurt. I don't want my friends to be hurt and that should be very very apparent, that I'd do anything for my friends. Would you rather I lie and say I'm not hurt? Why would I need to lie to my friends? Why can't I be open and say that I see this manipulation for what it is. Is that such a bad thing to see this?

I think people need to just step back from this or else it's just going to get worse. To me it's over. The truth is out there and that's that. I'm just putting it to fall where it may.

Why am I worrying you? Because I'm hurt? A hurt person worries you? I hardly ever let my weakness show and I'm telling you how hurt I am about these people and their nonstop gaslighting of me, bullying of me and pushing me constantly. Is it hard to understand what I feel? All I ask is for you to put yourself in that feeling of being hurt and then you'll know how I feel.

K, I'm gonna go now because I don't wanna be hurt any more. I expect THEM to hurt me, not my friends. I'm shocked that you would think that. I truly am.

I don't want you to email me if it's gonna be hurtful because it's something that I can't handle right now. This emotional roller coaster is not helping me and I want off. I just want off. This is so apparent what is going on here. I can't believe I'm the only one who sees this.

So what do I have to say in order not to be hurt by my friends? What is the magic word? Crying. Crying crying.

Please, don't hurt me any more. I don't deserve it.

I don't want any more hurtful stuff coming my way. I have enough of that to deal with constantly whether its my feminism or my appearance or whatever.

And I got this message from Jedi in return:

You accusing me of hurting you is serious, and I consider it bullying, because it has no basis in reality. It's got to be a tactic, because I have done nothing but support you, and you ignore all of that and come after me again and again.

You need to stop hurting me, or Quote ME where I hurt you.

Thanks.

Take care.
So if you're hurt by your friend it's now bullying? If you're honest and remain completely tactful and sincere you are a bully? This hurt me even more. I knew that no matter what I said or how I said it, she was just going to keep sending me this hurtful stuff.

It's all circular. The part that hurt me where she asks for evidence is the part where she accused me of bullying her. But as I said, I was too exhausted and I didn't want any more of these kinds of nasty messages coming at me from her so I blocked her figuring she'd cool down. I was in tears and I just could NOT bear another message so hurtful as to say I was bullying her. I felt that was so strong an accusation, especially considering what was really happening here.

Three days later I got a message from a friend who directed me to Shangi's videos he uploaded through Lord Vion's channel. I watched them and found out that Jedi had posted someone's ip address. I left a comment on that video saying that an ip is like giving out a home address and nothing like knowing simply a city in which someone lived. I was shocked that Jedi took that kind of stance with me and yet put out an ip. That REALLY bothered me. It seemed hypocritical to say I was a bully over telling her I was hurt that she seemed to be co-ordinating others to drop their mirror support for me.

So there it is. She threatened me in her latest video to drop personal messages and actually DARED me to give her some reason to do it. Well, now I posted them.

People can judge for themselves whether they think I was bullying my friend or whether she blew it out of proportion because of her OWN experience with doc dropping and harassment. I must also say that I'm not going to play harassment olympics with her but I will say that I DO know what this is like and like she explained in her video, she thinks she had a right to post an ip to get someone to leave her alone.

Well I didn't drop a city name intentionally first of all, and second of all if Divinity really felt threatened by that she would've flagged my video immediately. Instead she continued to play people and make baseless accusations to deflect attention off her imposter account she used to garner personal and private information from someone and put the attention on me to intimidate and gaslight me.

Throwing away someone that quickly and making this new video she has is indicative of someone who is completely unreasonable and lacks empathy. I am stunned but there's a part of me that knows something about you Jedi that I've known for a long time but overlooked it. It was that 5% of things that people you care about sometimes do that drives you crazy. Here it is: You'll do anything for a man's acceptance and anything to bolster your issue with Keytoothed and it seems it was all too easy to throw me under the bus because alowlyapprentice is giving you something you currently need.

This is displayed in your comments to people all over the place. If we don't precisely say and do what you think we should regarding this guy keytoothed or madshangi then you come down extremely hard on us. This is a pattern I was willing to overlook based on our friendship but it seems that this other man, alowly, is someone you'll give up all your friends for as seen in this comment:

@onlockinggeisha If this was petty it would not be posted, that guy that called me a sick slut and accused me of child abuse and put up a hundred channels and follows me to comment sections and posts my name and opened up an encyclopedia dramatica page about me accusing me of crimes and naming my real name putting me in danger, and who is an MRA who writes rap songs about killing feminists. Well Diana Boston has sided with him and attacked me and I did NOTHING to her. NOTHING. This is not petty

rememberthediamonds
3 hours ago @alowlyapprentice Here comes my first snarky drama comment. Shangi has accused me of being a child abuser and relentlessly harasses me SEVERELY, and she sides with him, but will make a HUGE stink that you like this video. That is the type of character we're looking at here ZERO character. Shangi wants to kill feminists. She just has NO excuse for her psycho behavior toward me and it's not forgiveable because it's WAY scary. She's just scary. Watch her try to make an issue that YOU like this



Where is this evidence that I support Shanghi? Show it. Let's see this evidence. You don't have to justify dropping and ip. You did do it.

I didn't remove ANY comments that I can recall and so what if I did? Is that grounds for this video of hate and spewing? No. It isn't.

Do you think that every comment I remove is about you?

Really aggressive? Show me where I said I was going to 'go after you?' What's aggressive is your recent video.

I never went OUT of the way to punch you in the face. LordClyde referred me to those videos,

See Jedi, you're on this trip to hate me and you're being dishonest and it's really all about you.

You say I will not find anything? Well I just posted the PM's. So do an interesting video but please, back it up.

Remember, your video slamming me is really about your insecurity about Shangi and this keytoothed stuff.

This is amicable truthful parting. The truth is out there and I won't be slandered like that.

No More Gaslighting. Just Stop.

HONESTY:

When Divinity first came to YouTube, she got really close to me, really fast. I thought she was getting close to me to befriend me, but within a couple weeks her agenda was clear. She wanted me off of YouTube and it was evident that she was a bully. I wish I still had that private video from my Dominatrix1969 account where I begged Divinity to stop bullying me and hurting me. However, when I thought she was a good person and I was having a problem with my girlfriend and thought my girlfriend was in danger, I GAVE Divinity my girlfriend's number to call her because my girlfriend also lives in Texas. It wasn't some devious plot to get her number.

So Divinity HAS a number to contact my girlfriend and her son. That's the male that answered the phone.

I find it hilarious that people will admit to me having a girlfriend on YouTube when it suits their purpose and then gaslight me when it doesn't.

Since then,  I have proven that Ms Espejismo IS indeed my girlfriend and posted the link to her blog, which she began in 2008 (FAR before Divinity came on YouTube), and the pro-industry folks, over the last few days, have gone over there and harassed her, telling her she's not really a Native American, nor does she speak Spanish and all kinds of other crap.

So you see the lies and the gaslighting when it suits their agenda in order to detract from the fact that Divinity is a liar and a bully who will do ANYTHING to save face.

Has she admitted the FACT that she created an imposter account to suck up to radical feminists in order to get personal and private information from them? No. Has she admitted to ANY wrong doing? No. Will she ever admit that her entire purpose was to get close enough to me in order to then bully the FUCK out of me? No.

This is the TRUTH. If you people still want to gaslight and only use information when it SUITS you then go right ahead. I've been done with you people for months but yet you can't seem to be adults and leave me be.

I believe in karma. I believe in truth. I know that someday, someone else, ALONG with DreamedBlue, will have a conscience and spill more truth.

If you haven't already seen dreamedblue's admission that that imposter account was indeed Divinity's and that the pro-industry people have made many many other troll accounts in order to harass and stalk my friends and fellow feminists, then you should watch it.




I have no plans of ever engaging these folks who have done nothing but intimidate, bully, stalk and harass myself and others. I blocked them months ago and THIS is what started Divinity on her path to NOT let it lie. So she made an imposter account, pretending to be a teenage feminist girl who was having problems in life in order to garner private and personal information out of my fellow feminist, FistfulofDicks. Divinity has nothing else to do on YouTube aside from trying to take me out and bolster her reputation even when it's blatantly clear she's a liar, which was her GOAL from the beginning. Not only to take me out but to harass me my friends.

The first attack was the 'Diana Boston Does Not Speak for Feminism' video made by Divinity wherein she tells everyone I am a wounded animal, had bad parenting, and got no attention in highschool. Basically, a way to shame me. Go to my Saelpalani account right now and tell me where I ever stooped to the level of psychoanalysing Divinity. I beg of you to search for the truth.

Admittedly, I lost my temper over Divinity's impersonation account. She was also using that account to suck up to me in order to gain my trust and then my personal information from me. She used her imposter account to snuggle up to me, fistful, rememberthediamonds and Owleyes777. She PM'ed some of us and left channel comments and comments on videos for others to complete the facade.

If it's a crime to get incredibly angry at someone doing that then I'm GUILTY. I am. I lost my temper. I was totally ok to ignore Divinity and had been ignoring her for months but that wasn't good enough for her. Hence, the imposter account to instigate.

What kind of shit do you think she would've pulled with that private information had myself and fistful exposed her? Immediately after we exposed her, she closed the account, but not before leaving silly cryptic messages to rememberthediamonds.

I admit to my anger. Like my friend Shevo said in her video, if I had allowed myself to calm down, I would've only made one video. Instead, I made three. Not 10, not 8, but three.

I also never intended to doc drop. No way. I was simply pointing out the evidence that Divinity was the creator and owner of that imposter account.

Admittedly, when a couple of my friends disagreed and thought I had given out Divinity's city. I didn't see that as doc dropping. In my mind, it was the same thing as saying 'I'm from Vancouver.' Also, it wasn't some malicious act and most people didn't even notice it in the video until Divinity and her herd found that one little thing to divert the facts put the blame on me. It was on the screen for maybe 10 seconds while I was focused on another part of the screen.

Divinity and Binh then proceeded to try taking down my SaelPalani account by falsely flagging two videos on it. One was a response to Binh's ridiculous 'Myth of False Flagging' video and the other was the video in question.

Instead of immediately flagging me on my AuntieDiana channel when I reploaded the flagged vid, Divinity did nothing, except make videos to persuade everyone she was the real victim in all this.

Also, the video she made where she threatens me with family violence was made PRIOR to the video where she accused me of doc dropping her. She put her threats up and then removed them quickly because she knew if more people saw that video, they'd know she was just playing people. However, I managed to get a copy of that vid where we see the real Divinity. Not the calm Divinity that plays people and still won't admit to her wrongdoing irregardless of the fact that one of her own friends (dreamedblue) told the truth about her tactics and her bullshit.

Here is the video where Divinity threatens me with family violence and then calls the cyberpolice on me for 'going crazy'. I did not have that video in question where she claims I doc dropped her up. I hadn't even MADE it yet.



Guess what Divinity? I have a real life too and a real mother. Notice the jealous bullshit about me belonging to Mensa. Notice the bullying over the fact that I made a very honest post on this blog about alcoholism. My mother and stepfather are alcoholics. Admittedly, I was getting incredibly stressed by her and her friends constant bullshit on You tube and things in my real life. So I made a post and was honest about my beginning use of alcohol. So Divinity came to my blog with all her pals, and used that information to bully the fuck out of me. Everything I post on this blog is subject to her and her friends scrutinty whereby they take it to shame me with it.

I am very well aware of addiction and that's why I was HONEST on my blog about what I was going through. The first step in addiction recognition is to admit you are travelling down that road and WHY. I would like all my friends to know that since I made that blog post, exploring my real feelings, I have stopped buying alcohol and have stopped drinking completely. I did NOT want to travel down that road and I knew the potential for it to become a huge problem.

There is so much more I could explain about Divinity's bullying but it's a POSITIVE thing that she called the police. I hope they do investigate. I have NOTHING to hide. I stood up to a bully and this is the consequence. Fine, I accept the consequence.

MORE HONESTY:

I want my two friends back. I want my friend Ash back and my friend Theresa back. Theresa, when you called me a bully THAT was what hurt me. Ash, the fact that you didn't respond to my private emails and instead made a video slapping me, that hurt me. If I ever had a disagreement with you I would privately discuss it because that's what friends do. I would never publicly humiliate you. EVER.

If both of you don't see how that's hurtful then there's nothing else for me to say. Theresa, I blocked you because you were sending me HURTFUL messages. I was already down and I felt I was being kicked further. I simply was at my wits end and could not take it anymore. You are unblocked.

Ash, you were never blocked since you never responded to my private message before you made that video,  but I see that you removed me as a friend. Is that a glitch or is that truth? I tried speaking with you to tell you what I was thinking and feeling. You ignored me.

It's not about the disagreement. It's about the way it was handled by both of you that hurt me. I even acknowledged the video you made on the subject Theresa and told you it was a good video. I accept the fact that you disagreed with me but I had my reasons to hold out for the truth. A mountain was made out of a molehill re: the video in question.

And now I come to find out Theresa that you posted someone's ip address. Do you know that an ip address is like giving someone a precise address? It's a helluva lot different than just happening to have a major city on the screen for 10 seconds.

I never intended harm in my video but when Divinity would not be honest and instead took down all her videos, removed all her incriminating photobucket pictures and titles, uploaded nasty photo-shopped pictures of me on her photobucket, and acted like it was ME that was harassing her, I knew that I had to hold my ground. Right or wrong. I did hold my ground and the TRUTH came out. That's ALL I wanted. I don't care if people mirror my video. That's not the most important thing.

TRUTH IS.

Be prepared for this post to be completely mangled and distorted. I know I'm ready for it.

In The Middle of the Night: Response To Neph and Basic Idea of What's Going on Here

I've got that Billy Joel song now swarming in my head. LOL. I'm thinking about a video by Nephysuk I saw today that massively misrepresented the radical feminist position on pornography and prostitution but at the same time had some good points.



Neph makes a great point about emotions because I do agree with her that in a passionate subject there are emotions and they're not necessarily detrimental in all cases. However, she states we 'live our gender' and that's an idea that most feminists find unpalatable. She says feminists see things in the world that 'aren't quite right.' The idea of strict gender roles has plagued our patriarchal society and has resulted in violence on a grand scale against people who do not 'fit' in these rigid roles.

'They have a clash of ideas' she says in regards to the feminists and the pro-sex industry folks. Absolutely. She uses the term sex positive and calls the radical feminist position by omission 'not sex-positive', which is a misnomer I'd like to see corrected. We consider ourselves feminists. Most of us are radical leaning and marxist/socialist feminists. We're not anti-sex positive.

She then gives great advice by saying we should never aim our ideas at single people. Fair and balanced. She's hit on one of the primary problems that has plagued our community from the beginning. Radical feminists have made many videos that do not address any pro-prostitution person. In fact, that was a strategy I started employing a while ago because I was tired of this entire thing. The problem is the pro-porn folks think that every video we make is somehow about them personally.

Case in point: a video I made about Social Construction just the other day. It wasn't addressed to anyone, yet FeministWhore was quick to send me a video response that was disconnected and didn't really relate to what I was saying. Plus, I had already stated publicly that I wanted NO communication with these people. So I obviously ignored the video response because I didn't want any more back and forth.

Another example is a video about stripping and strip clubs made by Terri aka iremythpurr. Immediately, this video was taken as a personal attack by Divinity. She then responded to Terri by chastising her and making a video response that didn't handle the issue but just trashed on the fact that Terri made that video and accused her of the usual party line that the 10 radical feminists on YouTube are trying to silence them. Way to blow this out of proportion. Little did they realize that Terri is a resident of the state of Oregon, which has more strip clubs per area than any other state. Terri made a video about it because it's all around her in her daily life.


Neph condemns the false flagging and purposeful attempt to take down my SaelPalani channel. The thought of women LITERALLY silencing other women is indeed absurd. I would NEVER do that to ANY pro-porn activist who is sharing their views. What needs to be understood here is that Divinity and Binhthanhvo, a notorious false flagger and channel killer, are good buddies. If you look at the video in my last post and view it in full screen, you'll see Binh trashing me right along with Divinity on her 4-part blogtv session called 'DB is Beautiful' whereby she proceeds to slander and bully me for 40 minutes. Oh, and I DO have proof that Divinity falsely flagged my video exposing her imposter account.

And that's another thing. Making an imposter account, acting like a radical feminist in order to get personal information is something Divinity did, without a shadow of a doubt. FistfulofDicks revealed his first name to Divinity's imposter account whilst the rest of us who were friends with Fistful had NO IDEA what his first name was.

I also have MORE evidence to add to the already proven case I've made regarding the fact that Divinity owned that imposter account. The first name given on that account was 'Laura'. I don't know if people realize this but Laura Agustin is a very well known pro-prostitution activist who keeps a blog that is regularly visited by Divinity and her friends.

Neph responded to a ridiculous comment by iamcuriousblue who said

Ditto to what Bob said about there being a considerable about of bad blood, and it predates what's been going down between Diana and Divinity. Her "Feminist Outlaws" group seems to be used as a place to coordinate attacks on people, such as the shitstorm that came down on Krissy's Objectification video a few weeks ago. There's also Diana's alliance with PornHarms, which is in the business of flagging "pro-porn" pages down. This crap has to stop before we can even agree to disagree.

We all know this is false. First, Divinity made the first personal attacks in videos about me, calling me an anti-feminist, telling people I am a wounded animal, and giving me her personal psychological diagnosis, complete with made-up stories about my high school life and parents.

My private feminist group does not coordinate attacks. We DO ask each other how to frame certain points and we DO discuss our personal struggles but the audacity in his comment shows his immaturity. Secondly, while I subscribe to PornHarms on YouTube and some of my videos on the porn industry have been favourited and featured by the channel, it BY NO MEANS, suggests that I, nor PornHarms, is a false flagger. That's just more deflection away from the ACTUAL issue. So now you can't subscribe to a channel you happen to agree with without being called a false flagger? I certainly beg your pardon but these baseless accusations, coming from a pro-porn supporter, are yet another reason why there is NO reasonable dialogue to be found with them on YouTube.

At least when I make an accusation, I actually SHOW my evidence that supports it.



DonF72 says

Block and forget? that sounds like avoidance rather than addressing the issues they have with each other. The best way to resolve a situation is to agree to disagree and keep the FRICKING EMOTIONS out of it.

Why not block and forget? That's what I've been doing because I see no reason to waste my time, as Neph says, on this stuff. I'd rather be working on feminist videos and discussing issues with my friends, not constantly defending myself against personal attacks and drama.

Neph also seems to think that Divinity has the most to lose and is a target of bad behaviour because she supports the sex industry. Neph relates a story about phone sex operators and the tight security involved in their job at a call centre. These women don't have anything to fear from feminists. Quite rightly, as Neph says, it's men that stigmatize sex workers, abuse them and sometimes kill them. Neph says Divinity is much more at risk than I. How can that be? I've been threatened with violence right out of Divinity's mouth. I've been mercilessly attacked on YouTube, false flagged, bullied, and constantly inundated with misogynist comments from males who love the fact they can buy a woman for sex but who condemn me for being critical of the industry. Also, I WAS a sex worker. There are several factors that put ALL women at risk. To state with conviction that I am somehow at less risk is insulting to me.

The final point I want to bring up, and it's an important one, is that Neph seems to think the radical feminist position is to ban pornography. Neph, I highly suggest that you make attempts to dialogue with us and watch our videos. There is not ONE radical feminist that I know on YouTube who wants to ban porn or prostitution. While it is true that we feel there should be no inherent clause in society that says a certain amount of women should be available to be purchased for sex, we aren't out to ban it. Pornography, we claim, is violence against women and that capitalizing on the suffering of women in that business is something we'd like to see change; NOT by banning it, but by making it such that women don't have to consider ever entering that business in the first place. By having a social system in our society that values women for other reasons besides her ability to please men. By making it such that the vast majority of sex workers, who enter the business by LACK of choice, are given social services to have MORE choice.

I sincerely hope that when you read this Neph, that you come away with a better understanding of what the feminist position is on YouTube regarding the sex industry. I also hope that this childish behaviour between the groups will cease and desist. Like you say in your video Neph, there should be no reason why I should ever need to have another YouTube account due to censoring. I am content to talk about my feminist politics and ideas without directly addressing anyone on the opposite side of this debacle. It's not a dialogue. It's not a debate. It's a debacle and I, for one, am tired of it.

Why Divinity Bullies Me

This video is one of FOUR blogtv sessions that Divinity recorded with her audience which included several people leaving comments and asking questions of her. Binhthanvo is part of her audience as well as xxxild and many others. Divinity has erased ALL her blogtv recorded episodes because ALL of them include talking about me. She erased them today when she realized they were discovered. I got a PM from someone in her 'camp' letting me know about them because I think this person realized that Divinity is really a bully who won't leave me alone. I swore to protect my source so don't even ask.

The name of this four part series is 'DB is Beautiful.' I will post the remaining three parts.

Please make sure you read the comments that are scrolling up. At one point someone asks Divinity why she bullies me. She answers that I like it. I don't fucking like it and I'm standing up to you.

This woman has done nothing but harass me, stalk me and continually forces her way into EVERYTHING I do and she is constantly talking about me EVERYW. All of them follow me on Twitter, comment stalk me on YouTube and come to my blog. Guess what? All your ip's are logged.

Remember this is only one of FOUR videos that I recorded. If you want to view it on blip and make it full screen I think you can double click the vid. Otherwise go .

REUPLOADED VIDEO Aug 13th. if still not playing, let me know. For better viewing please use full screen option. Then tell me if Binh and Divinity aren't sucking each others assholes.

My other YouTube account was falsely flagged by people who don't like my opinions and who despise freedom of speech. There is a long list of YouTube users who all think the same way about one issue and I am the minority that does NOT think the way they do. Therefore, they have taken it upon themselves to silence me and punish me for having an alternative viewpoint.



Please subscribe to my backup channel as this will more then likely be my primary channel.



Thank you so much,

TheTempleDancer IS Divinity33372: Hopefully Explained in a Way Everyone Can Understand

Here is what Divinity did to create her troll account called TheTempleDancer. She created this troll account to snuggle up to us feminists, especially FistfulofDicks. Divinity used her TempleDancer troll account to PM Fistful and ask lots of questions about him to try and get as much information she could. Here are the PM's that Divinity/TempleDancer sent to Fistful as well as screenshots showing the photos in Divinity's photobucket.

Here's what Divinity did:

She took a picture (the blue Hindu Goddess picture) and made that her avatar on her TempleDancer troll account. The NAME of the troll account comes from ANOTHER picture from another of Divinity's photoalbums which she titled 'TempleDancer.'

Why would ANYONE think this is ANYONE ELSE but Divinity?

The reason I used technical language probably threw a lot of people off and I realize that but in this particular case it forms the undeniable truth that beyond ANY reasonable doubt that the troll account BELONGED to Divinity33372.

Divinity closed her troll account shortly after FistfulofDicks exposed her. Then Divinity went to her photo albums and DELETED all the pictures and then uploaded a bunch of pictures of me and called them all TempleDancer.

This is incredibly simple. None of her faithful herd owned that account. They're just all running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to do damage control. One of her herd actually posted ON Divinity's troll account (TheTempleDancer) 'I don't know why people are getting so mad at a sock account.' . That shows us that at least a few people KNOW the troll account was INDEED Divinity's. Divinity wanted information from myself and FFOD as seen in the PM's from the link above. That's NOT a sock account. It's a manipulative troll account meant to dig for information from people.

Here's Fistful's Video Exposing Divinity's Troll Account:



BobChaos also made a comment on Fistful's video stating:

Well, perhaps she (Divinity) saw the person (TheTempleDancer troll account) commenting, likd the pic, and then downloaded it into her photobucket as "TempleDancer"...you know, because that was the name of the person she got it from?

Its a nice pic, I got one myself for my collection of goddess imagery.


Problem with that Bob is twofold. First, if Divinity saw TheTempleDancer's avatar and liked it sooo much enough to grab it and stick it on her photobucket, it would be avatar size. It's not. WHY? Because the image on Divinity's photobucket is FULL SIZE, meaning THAT is the origin of the file. The one used on TheTempleDancer account is really Divinity's picture from her album, shrunk to fit the avatar regulations. So no Bob, Divinity didn't LIKE TheTempleDancer avatar and take it to put in her own photobucket.

Second, the filename of the avatar picture was NOT 'TempleDancer.' It was named 'Durga5.' The name TempleDancer came from Divinity's OTHER photo in another one of her photobucket albums. I made a video PROVING this.

The WIKI connection:

When I found out that Divinity named the blue picture 'Durga5' I did a search for it and found it NOWHERE except in Divinity's photobucket account. Then I just searched for 'Durga' and read on Wiki that Durga was a mother Goddess of Hindu Buddhism. Durga is NOT a dancer. In Wiki there is just ONE sentence that says that Hindu's have a holiday where they honour her by dancing.

NEITHER photo from Divinity's album's is located on Wiki. I simply wanted to find out the meaning of the image.

This is critical because if there is NO mention of Durga being a TempleDancer, then the only way someone would call her that is if they knew people danced to her which Divinity has stated that she's into 1) dancing and 2) Buddhism. It was Divinity who called one of her photobucket pictures 'TempleDancer' but it was NOT the blue photo like Bob tried lying that it was. It was a separate photo in a totally different album of Divinity's photobucket.

SO, it was DIVINITY that combined her 'Durga' image and the name of her other image 'TempleDancer' and MADE that troll account.

There is NO OTHER REASONABLE explanation.

I waited to release this video because I wanted to see what Divinity's HERD would say and I was right. They tried to say the blue image WASN'T 'TempleDancer' so how could it be Divinity? They were correct that the image name was indeed 'Durga' but where did they get that from unless Divinity told them that was the name of it? So Divinity's herd took the route I KNEW they would take and it's the reason why in my 2nd video I PURPOSELY left out that fact. I wanted to see them make that argument before I put the final nail in the coffin by letting everyone know that Divinity USED the 'Durga' photo and combined it with the name of her 'TempleDancer' photo to make her TROLL account.



People say to me 'You can't PROVE anything. You can only go by probability.' I've just demonstrated that the probability is 99.9999∞% that Divinity IS the troll account 'TheTempleDancer.'

Divinity is a dancer. Everyone knows that. She's a Buddhist. Everyone knows that. Durga is a Buddhist/Hindu Mother Goddess. Everyone knows that.

Divinity33372 IS the troll TheTempleDancer. Everybody should know that by now and if you don't, you're just as bad a troll and deserve just as much pity.

Other facts:
Divinity closed her 'TheTempleDancer' troll account yesterday when the information broke.
Divinity erased her photos in her photobucket album and replaced them with nasty pics of me.
Divinity is a liar.
Divinity has been exposed.

The Pink Floyd Tells Iran's Ayatollah's to Leave Them Green Rev Kids Alone

A Canadian band consisting of two Iranian brothers called Blurred Vision got permission from Roger Waters of Pink Floyd to release their version of 'Another Brick In The Wall' as support for the Green Revolution in Iran. The line 'Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!' is now 'Hey Ayatollah! Leave Those Kids Alone.' Check out the music video. Click the link.

Iranians Protest Ayatollahs With Pink Floyd

Canada-based Iranian rock band Blurred Vision has updated the famous
Pink Floyd protest anthem "Another Brick in the Wall" to target the
theocratic government of Iran. Their otherwise faithful cover changes
the song's famous chant to "Hey Ayatollah, leave those kids alone." With
the help of Iranian filmmaker Babak Payami, Blurred Vision also
produced a music video to channel the song's anti-authoritarian anger
against the oppressive Iranian regime. The video, interspliced with
footage from the recent "green movement" protests, shows an Iranian
woman fleeing security forces and a robed, bearded ayatollah.

In
a central London café, the brothers explained how their song has
captured the imaginations of young Iranians in a country where rock
music is banned. "We've been getting messages from so many Iranians
saying they are using the song as a way to voice their protests," said
Sohl who, at 35, is the older of the two brothers.
Sepp, 28,
added: "A message came through to us last week and when Sohl translated
it he had tears running down his cheeks. It was from a fan in Iran and
he just kept saying over and over again: 'Keep our voice alive. If you
don't then no one will hear us.'"
The young musicians say
they sought—and received—the approval of Pink Floyd's Roger
Waters to cover the song. "From here on in, that version of the song is
yours," he told them.Read more at www.theatlanticwire.com

Give Me a Break Peter

Hello my dear friends, pro-exploitation stalkers and the like,

I'm on a small hiatus from my 'normal' activities. You can thank my sinus infection for that. I'm not keeping up with Twitter, YouTube, this blog, my feminist board, my Amplify and other real life stuff. However, I AM doing a lot of reading online.

I came across a story on A360 that I blogged about in this post. I returned to the video and story today and found a comment on the story that made my head hurt more, if that's possible. It was a comment by someone named Peter. The first thing I noticed was the fact that Peter didn't know how to use paragraphs so his post looked like word vomiting. I braved my way through it and discovered that this guy is so full of male privilege and prostitution apologetics it's not even funny.

Basically, Peter stated in so many words (oh so many words) that Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, is somehow not really responsible for screening adult ads on his site to make sure there's no child prostitution, adult prostitution and/or sex trafficking. Why isn't Craig responsible? Well, because he doesn't run the company technically. He just works in a part of the company. I don't know about you but that seems like a very apologetic stance. You think it would be really easy for Craig Newmark to ring up the runner of his own company and say 'Look. We really need to monitor the adult section like we claim to do, eh fellas?'

After all, Peter said, Craigslist doesn't have the staff to pour over these ads like they say they do. Yeah, Craigslist says they DO monitor these ads even though it's been clearly shown that  prostitution and trafficking is happening on the site.

Peter then gnashes his teeth at the reporters of A360 because they somehow FORCED Craig Newmark to talk to them on a public sidewalk.

Yes, there is a valid story and discussion about CL. But trapping Craig Newmark out on the sidewalk isn't the way to do it.

Really? What other way is there to do it Peter? I never knew that speaking to someone on a sidewalk constituted trapping. Craig could have easily told the reporter to schedule an appointment for an interview and decline it but he didn't and ultimately showed that his company isn't doing ANYTHING about the Adult section of the site. When reporters asked a local law enforcement authority if they've gotten a SINGLE report from Craigslist to check out an ad for prostitution and/or trafficking the answer was a very firm 'no.'

Peter thinks the cops should be the ones to screen all the ads. The hell with company responsibility right Peter? Oh, and I loved how you told us all how long the problems related to prostitution have been around. That's right, they've been with us FOREVER so why start doing anything about it. Hell, Peter, we can't even have reporters asking questions about it without you whining:
That would do us much more good than the one sided somewhat salacious sort of report I just saw on TV. I trust you guys (AC360 and CNN in general) to try and be fair and even handed and impartial to give us a true picture of the news. Please don't let me and others down.
 Wouldn't want to let you down Peter by exposing the severity of this problem AND by giving Craig an opportunity, which he TOOK, to respond to the reporters questions.

In Peter's mind, it's just not FAIR to question the sex industry and if or when you do it you must have everyone prepare a statement ahead of time so that nobody will feel trapped into giving an honest answer.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the interview with Craig was his achingly long silence when the reporter asked him 'What are you doing to protect these girls?'

Maybe Peter can answer that question?

Sold on Craigslist: Critics say sex ad crackdown inadequate

The video is stunning. Craig, it's time you take responsibility. I am absolutely repulsed that you just stare into space when someone confronts you about child prostitution on YOUR site that you claim to monitor.

Pennsylvania deciding whether 'sexting', common among teens, is porn and preparing a law against it

Technology meets the raging hormones of teenagers who, in this digital world, use their computing devices to send nude or semi-nude photos to each other as a courtship ritual. This is aptly called 'sexting'.



The current laws in Pennsylvania say that it can be construed as possessing child pornography and warrants a felony charge. However, the ACLU and others disagree and say this is protected freedom of expression.



The challenge to parents and legal officials now is to rewrite the laws so that kids are given a 'punishment' that fits the crime. Senator Stewart Greenleaf (R., Montgomery) now has the task of deciding whether it's a crime to send nude photos to the guy you like at school and what the charges will be if caught.



Should there be a law against 'sexting?' What, if any, charges would suit it if it were a crime? What do you think about 'sexting?'

Pa. working to outlaw teen 'sexting'

Seth Grove first heard about the "sexting" problem from his wife: nude photos of teens spinning from one student's cell phone to the next.

There was a boy from Florida charged with a felony for sending around a photo of his girlfriend after they had a fight; a girl in Ohio who hanged herself after her ex-boyfriend shared a photo of her.

"And then it happened in my alma mater high school," said Grove, a state representative from York County. Eighteen students were suspended last year after pictures of two girls at Spring Grove Area High were circulated to the boy's soccer team.

That should be against the law, Grove thought.

Earlier this month, Pennsylvania joined 20 other states to consider legislation prohibiting minors from sexting - electronically sending sexually explicit photos or text.

Grove's bill would impose a range of penalties, from a summary offense much like a traffic ticket to felony charges.

The goal, said Grove, a Republican, is not to send children to juvenile jail for petty pranks but to create a law to protect them from themselves - and one another.

But opponents near and far say criminalizing this behavior is unnecessary and violates free expression and privacy rights.

"The way this bill is written, constitutionally protected activity is criminalized," said Andy Hoover, legislative director for ACLU of Pennsylvania.

If passed, he said, the sexting law would allow the government to overly intrude in children's lives.

"Teaching kids about their sexuality is the job that belongs to parents and educators, not prosecutors."

In 2009, MaryJo Miller was told by the Wyoming County district attorney that he had a cell-phone photo of her 15-year-old daughter, Marissa, posing "fully nude" with another girl. Further, Marissa was facing child-pornography charges along with 15 other students at Tunkhannock Area High caught up in a "sexting" sweep.

But when Miller took one look at the photo that the district attorney pushed across his desk, she breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't be serious, Miller thought. The photo had been taken three years earlier, at Marissa's slumber party. There she was with her friend, shot from the waist up, both in training bras. Marissa was talking on the phone. Her friend was making a peace sign.

How, asked Miller and her ex-husband, could this be construed as pornography? Had the district attorney seen a Sears catalog? Had he ever walked by a Victoria's Secret store?

But the district attorney, George Skumanick Jr., wasn't kidding. He threatened to press charges unless Marissa took "reeducation classes" and confessed to her crime. The Millers fought back, winning their case in March in a federal court in Philadelphia.

Valerie Burch, an ACLU lawyer who represented the Millers and three other students, said none of the photos she is defending constitutes pornography. Pictures of breasts do not qualify as pornography, nor does a bare bottom.

Prosecutors with the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, which backed Grove's bill, argue that the lack of a clear sexting statute puts them in a tough spot.

Jeff Mitchell, the new Wyoming County district attorney, said that when dealing with a critical sexting case, "for prosecutors the only option is to charge on child pornography, which is not feasible. It's too harsh."

"The statute was intended for adults who compile pornographic images of children," said Mitchell, who became district attorney in January, after defeating Skumanick. "This is children having images of themselves or peers and they're texting them back and forth."

Anne Collier, codirector of ConnectSafely.org, a nonprofit online youth-safety organization, said sexting was really the modern version of spin the bottle, or truth or dare.

In the Miller case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit established precedent in ruling that if the text is not child pornography but rather protected by the First Amendment, a district attorney may not file child-pornography charges, Burch said.

"It warns district attorneys that just because it's teens sending sexy pictures of themselves," said Burch, "they better not jump on the kids . . . unless they . . . established that that was child pornography."

The fate of Pennsylvania's sexting bill now sits with the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Stewart J. Greenleaf (R., Montgomery).

"What I'm trying to do is provide an alternative so that the prosecuting attorney can file something against them if appropriate without giving them a criminal record," Greenleaf said.

In the interim, prosecutors, principals, and parents are left to navigate a complicated cyberworld on their own.

US Dept. of Defense Officials Caught Viewing Child Pornography

Do I have to say why pornography, ALL pornography, is repugnant? Here we have officials in positions of incredible power viewing child pornography. I think the scariest part of this entire story is the fact that these officials could easily find out who these children are and find them.



A little education here for those of you who don't know much about the pornography industry: There is a huge demand for young girls to be in pornography. There are entire genres dedicated to pre-teen and under 18.

Pentagon workers tied to child porn

WASHINGTON — Federal investigators have identified several dozen Pentagon officials and contractors with high-level security clearances who allegedly purchased and downloaded child pornography, including an undisclosed number who used their government computers to obtain the illegal material, according to investigative reports.

The number of offenders is a small percentage of the thousands of people working for sensitive Pentagon-related agencies. But the fact that offenders include people with access to government secrets puts national security agencies “at risk of blackmail, bribery, and threats, especially since these individuals typically have access to military installations,’’ according to one report by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service from late 2009.
Many of those apprehended were swept up in a much broader probe initiated by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in 2006. Operation Flicker identified an estimated 5,000 people who had paid money over the Internet to access websites operated overseas.

The exact numbers of cases involving Defense Department personnel were not contained in the reports and officials at DCIS could not immediately provide statistics. But the official reports indicate that more than 30 government employees were investigated.

Specialists in child protection expressed alarm at the revelations, but said it was not that surprising to find even officials in sensitive government positions engaging in such activity.

“There isn’t a profile or stereotype, which makes it even more challenging for law enforcement.’’

Their positions gave the cases priority at the immigration and customs agency that first uncovered them, according to the reports, “because the subjects are DoD employees who possess security clearances.’’

A large amount of pornography was found on the office computer of a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, including images that appeared to be of children. DARPA is responsible for developing some of the military’s most secret weapons and technologies. Charges were not pursued because there were no images of known victims of abuse, something that is routinely needed to bring charges, the case summary said.
