Former child star outs pedophile Disney director, Victor Salva

victor salva arrest
Pedophilia in Hollywood, according to victims and those who expose it, is rampant and exists throughout the industry. Those who expose it are often tarred and feathered in the mainstream and the predators in Hollywood remain protected. However, the recent revelations about the alleged sexual abuse doled out by Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein, is proving to be a chink in the pedophile protective armor enjoyed by Tinseltown.

After the NY Times piece exposed Harvey Weinstein for his rampant sexual harassment, actresses and actors came out to expose how they too have been abused in the industry. Corey Feldman even named one of his alleged abusers this week. This massive coming out is forcing the mainstream media to finally cover the sexual abuse that goes on behind the scenes leaving a trail of damaged children and adults alike in its wake.

Sky News recently conducted an interview with a former child star who was molested by a director. At just 11 years old, Nathan Forrest Winters had the leading role in the 1980's horror movie, Clownhouse.

Clownhouse was written and directed by Victor Salva who would later admit to and get convicted of molesting Winters.

As San Francisco's Millennium Tower sinks and tilts, the number of lawsuits rises

Millennium skyscraper
As the cracks in its basement walls slowly widen, a visual clue to the slow sinking of the 645-ft. skyscraper, the residents of Millennium Tower file lawsuits and wonder how far their homes - and their investments in those homes -- will sink. Jon Wertheim went to San Francisco to report on the building that's become the most infamous in the city's skyline for a 60 Minutes story to be broadcast Sunday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT.

Since its foundation was poured in 2006, the Millennium has sunk 17 inches and tilted 14 inches to the northwest. The posh residence was once touted as the best in the city and its units commanded millions from the likes of tech titans and the city's former pro quarterback, Joe Montana. Pat and Jerry Dodson were enthusiastic buyers. They tell Wertheim they were euphoric over their new home until the news broke about the sinking. Jerry, a lawyer and engineer, now makes a daily trip to the basement to check on the spread of cracks in the walls. "There's enough of them, a spider web of cracks... that you have to be concerned about what's going on underneath...I've been told by structural and geotechnical engineers that I should be watching."

BLM member ditches group after finding out "who's in charge", warns others of infiltration and misdirection

It is always refreshing when a brainwashed individual wakes up. Many are aware that Black Lives Matter is not actually being run by black people interested in furthering their interests (if that was ever the agenda). Now it is being led by rich, left-wing activists such as George Soros and Hillary Clinton. The leadership has changed and so has the purpose and one BLM member is realizing that and wants others to as well.

Chaziel Sunz (YouTube name) posted a video, sending a warning to other BLM members about what is really going on inside the organization. Now the man is not the most eloquent or well-spoken but his message is powerful.

"Starting in 2015, going into 2016, I began to notice infiltrators coming into the movement...The fake people part of the black movement were feeding off our emotions, trying to get us involved in things were not involved in."

He has been paying attention. Many will have taken notice that BLM dropped off the map for awhile. Their lack of action after such aggressive beginnings was rather surprising. Suddenly they reappeared and had changed.


Comment: It's not surprising that the BLM movement would be infiltrated and used by "the establishment". That's pretty standard - from COINTELPRO operations designed to discredit grassroots political movements, to operations designed to exploit radical groups to serve a wider political agenda. The fact is, most movements like BLM either rot from within or via external infiltration. And government infiltration isn't necessarily their biggest problem.

Many of the "social media"-type followers simply latch on to a vague message they can agree with, e.g., opposing police violence against blacks. But the actual "movers and shakers" in the movement are usually more ideologically obsessed. Just watch Accidental Courtesy, where Daryl Davis interviews some of BLM's top "activists". They comes across just as close-minded, naive, and racist as their "enemies". You can't cure a disease if you haven't first identified the actual causes of that disease. For example, see: What the data actually says about police violence against black men - and why the media narrative is dangerous

Here are five facts about the decline in food stamp usage in the U.S. and how and why this is happening.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov decorated citizens of Pakistan, Lithuania, Hungary and Vietnam with Russian state awards - the Pushkin medals - for achievements in development of friendship and cooperation between peoples.

"In the present-day world, very important are contacts between people, our ability to disregard the ideology-based approaches," the minister said. "State officials not always manage it, and thus we appreciate the people's diplomacy and the input from those, who, like you, work on development of our friendly relations."

"The Undetected Rapist": Misconceptions about rapists

Rape article
A dissertation called "The Undetected Rapist" included articles with these headlines. The author suggested that they contribute to misconceptions about rapists, most of whom do not appear in news stories or in court.

In 1976, a Ph.D. candidate at Claremont Graduate University placed a rather unusual personal ad in newspapers throughout Los Angeles:

Empire in decline: CDC reports US birth rates are falling while deaths from age-related diseases are rising

hospital, emergency, disease
As birth rates in the US continue to decline, deaths from age-related diseases are on the rise this year, according to new quarterly estimates released by the CDC today.

Deaths from cancer and HIV, on the other hand, are estimated to continue their steady declines, underscoring the successes of innovative treatments in the US, and infant mortality remains stable.

The CDC's numbers so far for 2017 confirm trends in US population growth decline that scientists and statisticians have observed in recent years.

The new stats come as baby boomers reach old age, and people are waiting longer to conceive and having fewer children than previous generations.

Liberal tolerance: NYT and LAT columnists mock Sarah Sanders' weight and Southern accent

Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Two male, liberal columnists this week launched personal attacks against White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

Los Angeles Times columnist David Horsey mocked Sanders' appearance, saying she "looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids' games."

"Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she'd be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes," Horsey wrote on Wednesday. "Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders."

MLK's message becomes a casualty of identity politics

On internal censure within the Left.
MLK and I have a dream
It is a pity that the flow chart published last month by a student magazine at The Ohio State University was not available in October 2015, when Professors Nicholas and Erika Christakis faced the soul-wrenching issue of what counts as an offensive Halloween costume at Yale. Poor Erika! She sympathized with the students, affirmed their politically correct instincts, but declined to police their Halloween costumes. The resulting meltdown by campus crybullies made national headlines and, eventually, resulted in the Christakises' being rusticated from Yale College.

If only they had had access to "Is Your Costume Racist?" the chart published by 1870 Magazine. This handy guide offers aspiring nitwits a plethora of easy-to-digest practical advice. Were you thinking of gallivanting about on Halloween as the black guitarist Prince? Are you white? If yes, "Try a new costume idea." Are you black? If yes, "You're good." "Does your costume include traditional head wear from other cultures?" White? No good. No? Probably OK. With respect to politically charged costumes, the governing question was "Does it make fun of Donald Trump?" Here we had an equal opportunity opening regardless of race, religion, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation(s): "Do it."
