Lawyer claims Boy Scouts of America has 'perversion files' covering nearly 8,000 alleged sexual offenders

Jeff Anderson Boy Scouts perversion files
A lawyer in New York alleges the Boy Scouts of America has "perversion files" on nearly 8,000 people who have been accused of sexually abusing children over the years.

Victims' rights attorney Jeff Anderson said at a Tuesday press conference the estimated number of suspected perpetrators sits at 7,819, with 12,254 victims. That's far higher than the roughly 1,247 alleged pedophiles revealed in 14,000 pages released to the public in 2012.

"For many, many years there's been an excavation of what are called the 'perversion files' - those are files held and hoarded at the Boy Scouts of America headquarters," Anderson said. "Those 'perversion files' that they've had reflect that they have removed thousands of offenders of childhood sexual abuse over the years, and they've kept that in files secretly."

"That is a number not known before today or ever revealed by the Boy Scouts of America," Anderson added.

Boy Scouts of America said all of the individuals on the "Anderson list" have been reported to law enforcement and removed from scouting.

Comment: The secrecy over sexual predators within the organization has also enabled those offenders to quietly resign and thus cover their tracks. Some background:

Russia's top investigator reveals motive of Crimea school shooter: Bullying and humiliation

An 18yo student who killed 20 people and took his own life in a polytechnic college in Crimea last year was driven by bullying from his better-off classmates for being poor, the head of the Russian Investigative Committee said.

"I had no idea, but it turned out it was that important to wear real US-made jeans, not fake... He wore fake jeans bought at the market, he was brought up by a single mom," Investigative Committee chief Aleksandr Bastrykin said during a lecture.

"He was constantly humiliated because of this. Here is the result," he said, stressing that young people react strongly to "inequity in society and the state."

In October last year, polytechnic college student Vladislav Roslyakov, likely inspired by US-style school shootings, particularly the 1999 Columbine massacre, detonated an improvised explosive device in the college cafeteria, then embarked on a shooting rampage. On the day of the attack, he wore black jeans and a white t-shirt with a slogan, copying Eric Harris, one of the Columbine killers.

The attacker ultimately committed suicide at the college library, just as his predecessors did 19 years before. A total of 21 people died, including 16 students and five teachers, and 67 people were injured.

'Political correctness gone mad': Lord Admiral slams maritime museum for gender-neutral ships

The de-gendering of ships by a maritime museum is "political correctness gone mad," a retired senior British Royal Navy officer has said. He warned conceding to pressure groups is a "very dangerous road" to go down.

Admiral Lord Alan West was responding to the Scottish Maritime Museum's decision to introduce a "gender neutral interpretation" of ships, following a spate of vandalism targeting the words 'she' and 'her' on one of their signs.

Lord West, the former head of the Royal Navy, phoned BBC Radio 4's Today show, to argue that boats have been referred to as 'she' for centuries, and scraping that tradition would be "absolutely stupid."
It's stark staring bonkers and political correctness gone mad... an insult to a generation of sailors, the ships are seen almost as a mother to preserve us from the dangers of the sea and also from the violence of the enemy.
David Mann, director of the maritime museum, in Irvine, Scotland, claims they have been forced into making the changes, saying offended vandals have targeted their "very expensive" signs for a second year in a row.

Father legally gagged and found guilty of 'family violence' for referring to his trans daughter as a 'she' in British Columbia

British Columbia's Supreme Court declared a father guilty of 'family violence' for giving interviews to publications including The Federalist in which he used female pronouns for his daughter.

Last week, Justice Francesca Marzari of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, declared a father guilty of "family violence" against his 14-year-old daughter on the sole basis that he had engaged in "expressions of rejection of [her] gender identity." These "expressions" revolved entirely around his polite refusal to refer to his daughter as a boy in private, and his steady choice to affirm that she is a girl in public.

As previously reported, the BC Supreme Court ordered in February that 14-year-old Maxine* receive testosterone injections without parental consent. Accordingly, Maxine began regular injections at British Columbia (BC) Children's Hospital over the course of the last two months.

Her father, Clark*, strongly objects to this treatment and immediately sought to reverse the decision in the BC Court of Appeal. Hoping to raise awareness of his case, Clark gave a number of interviews to media outlets, including The Federalist. In these interviews, he repeatedly referred to his daughter as a girl, stating to The Federalist that "she is a girl. Her DNA will not change through all these experiments that they do."

A group of Navy SEAL commandos from Team 7's Alpha Platoon allege that they were warned by top brass against reporting their commanding officer for possible war crimes in Iraq.

Special Operations Chief Edward 'Blade' Gallagher, 39, a highly decorated platoon chief, has been accused by several members of his platoon of committing atrocities in Iraq. These include: indiscriminately bombarding civilian neighborhoods with rocket and machine-gun fire, opening fire on civilians without provocation and summarily executing a captured, teenage Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) fighter who was undergoing medical treatment by US medics, by stabbing him repeatedly with a custom-made knife and hatchet.

He was arrested in September on more than a dozen charges including premeditated murder and attempted murder, all of which he denies. He faces life in prison and was detained in the Navy brig following his arrest amid fears he was attempting to intimidate witnesses and undermine the investigation.

New TSA screening tool exposes genitals, breasts and buttocks

A new system being tested to screen passengers at US airports appears to be exposing more than it should.

Officials at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Department of Homeland Security division that keeps the nation's airports safe, have discovered that the technology the equipment uses to render images poses "privacy risks," according to a recent federal contracting document reviewed by Quartz. Its manufacturer is now working on "enhanced privacy software" to fix the issue, according to the document, though it doesn't provide further details.

The screening system is an essential part of TSA's "Future Lane Experience," or "FLEx," an initiative designed to speed up screening at airports.

The name of the equipment vendor is redacted in the document, but is identified in a separate government database as ThruVision Inc. of Ashburn, Virginia. The system the TSA purchased, called "TAC," is described by ThruVision as a "people-screening camera that sees any type of item-including metal, plastic, ceramic, gel, liquid, powder and paper-hidden in peoples' clothing at distances of 3 to 10m," or about 10 to 32 feet.

Shocking: Vegan feminist cafe that imposed 18% "gender surcharge" on men closes down

A vegan feminist cafe in Australia that imposed an 18 per cent "gender surcharge" on men and gave women priority seating has closed down.

The Handsome Her cafe, which only opened a few years ago and was located in inner city Melbourne, described itself as "by women, for women".

The venue attracted headlines in 2017 for challenging the "gender pay gap" (which doesn't exist) by charging men extra.

At the time, the cafe's management claimed the attention left them "jam-packed with customers showing their support".

Comment: Is anyone surprised this really-poorly-thought-out business model failed? It's hard to see how anyone would think it's a good idea to alienate half of their potential customer base. The 'Get Woke, Go Broke' trend continues.

Ola and Abel Osundairo, the brothers who were involved in the alleged hoax attack on Jussie Smollett, are suing two of the "Empire" actor's attorneys for defamation, accusing Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian of falsely accusing them of an actual hate crime.

Last month, Cook County prosecutors dropped disorderly conduct charges against Smollett, who had been accused of paying the Osundairo brothers $3,500 to stage a homophobic and racist attack on him on Jan. 29.

Although prosecutors insisted they do not believe Smollett is innocent, Glandian and Geragos have maintained the Osundairo brothers actually attacked Smollett.

America's dirty little secret - Sex with children has become big business

"Children are being targeted and sold for sex in America every day."-John Ryan, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
Trafficking in Children

Children, young girls-some as young as 9 years old-are being bought and sold for sex in America. The average age for a young woman being sold for sex is now 13 years old.

This is America's dirty little secret.

Sex trafficking-especially when it comes to the buying and selling of young girls-has become big business in America, the fastest growing business in organized crime and the second most-lucrative commodity traded illegally after drugs and guns.

As investigative journalist Amy Fine Collins notes, "It's become more lucrative and much safer to sell malleable teens than drugs or guns. A pound of heroin or an AK-47 can be retailed once, but a young girl can be sold 10 to 15 times a day-and a 'righteous' pimp confiscates 100 percent of her earnings."

Consider this: every two minutes, a child is exploited in the sex industry.

According to USA Today, adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year in the United States.

Who buys a child for sex? Otherwise ordinary men from all walks of life.

"They could be your co-worker, doctor, pastor or spouse," writes journalist Tim Swarens, who spent more than a year investigating the sex trade in America.

In Georgia alone, it is estimated that 7,200 men (half of them in their 30s) seek to purchase sex with adolescent girls each month, averaging roughly 300 a day.

On average, a child might be raped by 6,000 men during a five-year period of servitude.

It is estimated that at least 100,000 children-girls and boys-are bought and sold for sex in the U.S. every year, with as many as 300,000 children in danger of being trafficked each year. Some of these children are forcefully abducted, others are runaways, and still others are sold into the system by relatives and acquaintances.

"Human trafficking-the commercial sexual exploitation of American children and women, via the Internet, strip clubs, escort services, or street prostitution-is on its way to becoming one of the worst crimes in the U.S.," said prosecutor Krishna Patel.

This is an industry that revolves around cheap sex on the fly, with young girls and women who are sold to 50 men each day for $25 apiece, while their handlers make $150,000 to $200,000 per child each year.

This is not a problem found only in big cities.

It's happening everywhere, right under our noses, in suburbs, cities and towns across the nation.
