"Pizzagate" Explodes

There are rumors swirling around Hollywood that entertainment power-broker Harvey Weinstein is attempting to suppress a NYT article that alludes to his pedophile activities over the years with underage actors.

It will be interesting to see if Weinstein can squelch this. If he loses the fight and the story is published, I'm betting that the liberal Hollywood celebreties will rise to his defense like they have for Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.

An excellent article for the continuing saga of Awan, his two brothers and wife saga is posted on SOTT.

Phil Giraldi: Where are all those congressional emails, Imran Awan?

https://www.sott.net/article/363558-Phil-Giraldi-Where-are-all-those-congressional-emails-Imran-Awan
Imran was arrested on July 25th at Dulles Airport as he was flying to Pakistan to join his wife Alvi, who had left the country with their children and many of their possessions in March. In January, they had also wired to Pakistan $283,000 that they had obtained fraudulently from the Congressional credit union. After his arrest, Imran was defended by lawyer Chris Gowen, a high-priced $1,000 an hour Washington attorney who has worked for the Clintons personally, the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.

There are many questions regarding the Awan case. One might reasonably ask how foreign-born IT specialists are selected and vetted prior to being significantly overpaid and allowed to work on computers in congressional offices. And the ability of those same individuals to keep working even after the relevant congressmen have been warned that their employee was under investigation has to be explained beyond Wasserman-Schultz's comment that Awan had not committed any crime, which may have been true but one would expect congressmen to err on the side of caution over an issue that could easily have national security ramifications. And how does a recently bankrupt and unemployed Imran Awan wind up with a high-priced Clinton-connected lawyer to defend himself?

Maybe because Imran Awan works directly for Killery and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, also Chairman of the Democratic National Committee is his handler? How else would " Imran himself be able to enter Wasserman-Schultz's own personal iPad computer ... which was directly linked to the server ... used by the DNC" And Killery?

Two interesting articles out this morning on Pakistan. Many of the Daesh in Syria are now relocating to Pakistan, their country of origin. In his investigation, George Webb uncovered that Imran Awan was sending large sums of money to Pakistan during his time working for Wasserman-Schultz.
Is it possible, Killery (when head of the Department of State) set up a rat-line/pipeline, with Pakistan being a distribution center for Arms, Ammo and funds to pay the terrorist (Daesh/Taliban) and Imran Awan was the middleman? Is it possible, Killery's first dealings were with Awan's Father, who was highly connected in Pakistan and the Middle East and his Son's were sent to the U.S. to oversee the transactions (while Killery was planning and running for the Presidency)?

About 90% of Syrian Territory Free From Terrorists - CIS Anti-Terror Center
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201710051057962370-syrian-territory-terrorists/

* Militants of the Daesh terrorist group (banned in Russia), suffering losses in Syria are relocating to Pakistan, Andrey Novikov added.

* "Relocation of significant Daesh forces from Syria to Iraq to the territory of Waziristan (Pakistan) with further redistribution observed since the fall of 2016.

* The majority of terrorists will return to their origin countries, or go to other states (both CIS and the European Union) via the routes they used to leave for conflict zones. In practice, this means using connecting flights from Turkey to airports of Commonwealth’s [CIS] cities. Special research shows that the Balkan route is especially in demand," the head of the Commonwealth of Independent States Anti-Terrorism Center added.

Pakistan is a known supporter of the Taliban and also a part of NATO. Since Imran was in-route to Pakistan from Dulles but was arrested on July 25th, did his arrest shut down the pipeline/ratline for cash and supplies? Are these transactions on those hard drives and in the emails that Killery refuses to surrender?

US May Consider Revoking Pakistan's Status as Non-NATO Ally - Mattis
https://sputniknews.com/us/201710031057917665-us-pakistan-nato-ally/

* The United States may take steps to expel Pakistan as a NATO ally due to its support for the Taliban, US Defense Secretary James Mattis has said during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday.

Looks like the NYT scrubbed all but the least noxious stuff, at least by Hollywood liberal standards, against Weinstein. Not that Weinstein's sexual harassment of actors and co-workers is not egregious as it is written in the article.

I know someone who once worked for Weinstein's company and said Weinstein was allegedly on the prowl for underage talent. The parents would condone the interactions - usually a breakfast like what happened with Ashley Judd or a lunch meeting without chaperones - hoping the kids would be cast in films. The Times decided to focus on Ashley Judd and O'Connor. I wonder if Weinstein called in some political markers with the NYT to get them to go easy.

Weinstein sounds like a hypocritical creep. No doubt he'll receive a standing ovation at the next Hollywood awards ceremony for his bravery in admitting he had a problem and got therapy. Right.
 
I find it odd that the pedophile angle got leaked though.... only to not show up in the article.

One possibility is that the leak is meant to diminish the womanizing in the article since, on its own, the womanizing would be pretty damaging. However, if the reader is thinking "well, at least it's not pedophilia" then there's this built-in damage control. It suggests these scenarios get orchestrated very carefully ahead of time: Harvey, you have to take a hit, but we can suppress the worst of it, and even use it in such a way that diminishes the impact of the womanizing.

Not sure what I believe, but that's what came to me as a possibility.
 
Court order to destroy residential school accounts 'a win for abusers': NCTR director


http://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/court-order-destroy-residential-school-accounts-1.4344918


"The upcoming destruction of survivor accounts of abuse from Canada's residential schools will be a loss for survivors, says the director of the National Center for Truth and Reconciliation (NTRC).

"[Some survivors] feel like this is a win for all of the abusers," said Ry Moran.

In a unanimous decision released Friday, Canada's Supreme Court said the collection of accounts for independent compensation assessment was meant to be a "confidential and private process" and that "claimants and alleged perpetrators relied on the confidentiality assurance."

The court ordered that 38,000 accounts be retained for a 15-year period, during which time survivors can choose to have their records preserved.

After that time period, they will be destroyed."


Based on the grounds of protecting the survivors privacy, testimonial documents for currently deceased victims have already been destroyed.

Lisa Bloom I Hate What Weinstein Did But Love His Response to It (video)
_http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/06/lisa-bloom-harvey-weinstein-sexual-harassment/?adid=TMZ_Search_Results
10/6/2017 3:01 PM PDT
Harvey Weinstein's attorney, Lisa Bloom, says there's nothing strange about her representing a man accused of years of sexual harassment ... because he's handling it way better than most.

Bloom famously ripped into late FOX honcho Roger Ailes and host Bill O'Reilly when they were accused of some of the same things Weinstein allegedly did to employees. She even repped one of O'Reilly's accusers.

So, a photog asked her Friday in Manhattan if working with Weinstein was a conflict of interest.

For Bloom ... sounds like it's not the crime, but the response to the crime that matters most.

Lisa Bloom Resigns as Harvey Weinstein's Advisor

Lisa Bloom is no longer representing Harvey Weinstein as a legal advisor amid the explosive sexual harassment allegations against the powerful Hollywood producer.

Bloom made the announcement Saturday morning, saying she has learned Weinstein and his board are moving toward an agreement. Bloom has been under heavy scrutiny since deciding to represent a man accused of sexual harassment ... when she almost always represents victims.

Even her mother, Gloria Allred, said she would not have worked with Weinstein if asked.

Trump on Harvey Weinstein: ‘Not at All Surprised’ by Sexual Assault Allegations (Tweets)
October 7, 2017 3:10PM
_http://variety.com/2017/politics/news/trump-weinstein-not-surprised-sexual-assault-allegations-1202583577/
Snip:
Weinstein was at odds with Trump politically, and helped organize campaign fundraisers for his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton.

But it is little surprise that they know each other, given their New York roots and because they both have a long history of experience in exploiting attention, particularly in the Manhattan tabloids.

Trump tweeted a swipe at Weinstein in 2014, as Weinstein was taking on the gun lobby.

On Friday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to say much about the Weinstein scandal when she was asked whether Democrats should return political donations from him.

But others have. The Republican National Committee has highlighted donations that Democrats have received from Weinstein, as has Sean Spicer, Trump’s former press secretary.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote on Twitter, “Whose side is Hillary Clinton on: Harvey Weinstein’s or his victims?
” Clinton has not issued any comment on Weinstein since the New York Times story broke. But the topic may come up on Monday, when she will make an appearance in Davis, Calif. for her book tour.

Democrats have been on the defensive, particularly when it comes to campaign contributions from Weinstein.

On Saturday, in an excerpt from an interview she gave to NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told moderator Chuck Todd that she was “really surprised that people knew these things and did nothing about it.”

“It’s like these shootings. And it’s very, very concerning that there can’t be a more defined moral code,” she said.

She said she didn’t know whether she has received any contributions from Weinstein.

“I don’t know that I’ve received any. I’ll certainly take a look, and then I’ll make a decision,” she said. “That’s the best I can do for you today.”

At least eight Democratic senators have announced that they are donating the sums that Weinstein contributed to their campaigns to charities. Among them is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). In addition, the Democratic National Committee announced that it would donate more than $30,000 in contributions from Weinstein to groups including Emily’s List, while calling the allegations against him “deeply troubling.”

But the DNC also tried to turn the scandal back on Republicans. In their statement, they noted that it was the one-year anniversary of the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape.

“The Democratic party condemns all forms of sexual harassment and assault,” the statement said. “We hope that Republicans will do the same as we mark one year since the release of a tape showing President Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women followed by more than a dozen women who came forward to detail similar experiences of assault and harassment.”
 
If there is anything I have noticed it is the lack of prosecutions for the higher-ups in the pedogate cases.

Here is an article that makes some sense to me but who knows:

_https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@son-of-satire/oh-yes-the-jig-is-up-we-now-know-who-james-alefantis-is-here-it-is-folks
NOTE* I have declined payout for this as I did not write it. It is just a very interesting post that was just uploaded at /v/pizzagate and I wanted to share it, as well as make it permanent on the block chain. SOURCE

Warning: you're going to need strong nerves for this. But those of us with the eyes to see, will see it. Here it is:
1 James Achilles Alefantis is regarded as the 49th most powerful person in DC
2 James Achilles Alefantis has several global holdings, most of which involve "kid friendly" bastions where groups of children gather. He, his registering agents, and administrative functionaries use several different aliases, but they can be seen if you dig hard. _https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1474718
3 James Achilles Alefantis works in producing "films" and "music videos" with Amanda Kleinman, the quality of which indicates deep budgets. As someone with a decade of experience in cognitive science and studies in perception, I can tell you the "films" and "music videos" contain highly professional hypnotic inductions and neuro linguistic programming techniques to induce trance states in the viewer and embed suggestions and commands. What is called "mind control" in popular parlance. Example: _https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31rQiiqsv4AYouTube (watch with volume off, and in short segments, do not watch continuously as it is designed to embed suggestions and values in your other-than-conscious mental states).
4 James Achilles Alefantis has not been arrested, despite overwhelming empirical evidence that he is a central figure in an international child trafficking and child prostitution ring. Far from it, there was a questionable event involving a "gunman" who was found to be a paid actor. That event was then used as a pretext to censor us.
5 James Achilles Alefantis is being protected by key figures in mainstream media, social media, local law enforcement, and government.
6 James Achilles Alefantis has visited the White House five times and is working intimately with and on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, Podestas, Carlos Slim, Frank Giustra, Jeffrey Epstein, and Soros.
7 James Achilles Alefantis's inner circle collects imagery and artwork depicting torture techniques and psychiatric conditioning employed on children, including pulling teeth and putting children in coffins with insects, the very same techniques that the CIA used at black sites on Iraqi children.
Folks, it's time to open your eyes. James Achilles Alefantis is a CIA operative and the CIA is involved in child trafficking for billionaires. We have been staring this in the face this whole time, but haven't drawn the proper inferences.
I have never been one to promulgate talk of "CIA child trafficking and torture" but, unfortunately, that is what we've been looking at here.
Think of the CIA as a rogue organization that works on behalf of a select group of billionaires who are about to have a heart attack right now. Yes, this goes directly to George Soros.
I have many friends who are watching me and whatever comes my way, so I have no fear in conveying this info, and nor should you.
Yes, this intelligence agency and the billionaire ideologues for whom it works is what is behind all of this. Comet Ping Pong is one small glimpse into this, but one that is sufficient to pull back the curtains and reveal Soros, Giustra, Slim, Clinton standing there naked.
This is why you see everyone from Hillary to the Pope trying to stop us. This is why you see unprecedented censorship. They are pulling out all the stops, because you are all right, and these people are finally exposed to the world. They have been exposed, and their international spheres of influence are now being shredded as well. Their operations in and with Saudi Arabia, South Korea, the Eurozone, Turkey, etc. They're finished.
They should hang themselves, because it's going to be hell for them otherwise. Good work everyone, now's the time to increase the exposure and fight with everything you've got. Those of you who have the eyes to see, and the relevant background knowledge -- this will "click" if it hasn't already.
To the stragglers who say "this isn't proof," as if James Alefantis needs to email you his CIA payroll records directly, I recommend introspectively questioning and revising your presuppositions about what constitutes adequate proof, and think carefully about the probability assignments to the data points and patterns involved.
Footnote: I'm going to offer some further thoughts on the roots of this "agency" and some worldview considerations. But these are just my own, and nothing that was shown above hinges on what follows. That we have been outing the CIA as a child trafficking ring (and worse) is true regardless of the veracity of what I'm going to say next.
At the root of this is a relatively small organization of individuals with a worldview according to which they have been freed from the constraints of morality which bind ordinary folk. These are not religionists per se, but they create cults and cult symbology as heuristic devices for the initiated to have a sense of power. Perception is intertwined with reality.
Another researcher has uncovered the connection between all of these cults, their involvement in child trafficking and torture and programming: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1475307.
In my view, this is an international operation. They start these "cults" everywhere to gain influence at the highest powers and "initiate" people. The blackmail keeps everyone silent. The South Korean cult is an example, the Moloch/Crowley cult in the US is another example.
These are individuals who created the CIA and other organizations and used their wealth to maintain a stranglehold on society and culture, not vice versa.
Whether you are an atheist or a Muslim or a Christian theist, it does not matter. You do not have to believe that the entities they talk about actually exist, the point is that they believe "Lucifer" and "Moloch" are real, and that by participating in blood letting and debauchery without limit they are thereby privy to hidden knowledge, technologies, and strength. When they cut open children and drink the blood, they get a biochemical rush, and it only serves to strengthen their belief in "Luciferianism" or the other silly gods they serve. They are, of course, deceived and delusional. A bit of superficial reasoning leads them to their ideology; but depth in reasoning would show them that they are delusional. They are tortured by the realization of their mortality -- they're going to die, yes, and it's their biggest fear. They're going to lose everything, and they're going to burn.

I kind of doubt the part about "a select group of billionaires who are about to have a heart attack right now". Even articles like this one are suspect as well I suppose (the one video is creepy) although they may contain nuggets of truth.

Australian police ran world’s biggest child porn site for a year in massive undercover op

Task Force Argos, a Queensland police unit, took over ‘Childs Play,’ the world’s biggest child porn exchange, between October 2016 and September 2017, and impersonated the administrators – even posting images themselves – in a bid to catch pedophiles.

“We don’t create these sites. We do not want them to exist. When we do find them, we infiltrate and get as high as possible in the networks administrative structure to destroy it. But we will never create a forum for child sex offenders,” Jon Rouse, the head of Task Force Argos, which led an operation jointly conducted by the US, Canadian, and European authorities, said in an interview with Norwegian newspaper VG, which investigated and broke the story.

“Our job is to make sure we play at the same level as the abusers. If we don’t, they will always be one step ahead,” added Rouse.

‘Childs Play’ appeared in April 2016 on the dark web – an anonymized part of the internet – with the identities of its operators and the location of its servers concealed, offering its equally anonymous users a feeling of security while posting not only images of child abuse, but underage torture videos and other extreme material.

The police had identified the administrators of the site – its creator, Canadian Benjamin Faulkner, and his associate, American Patrick Falte – but the real breakthrough came after the arrest of the two men in October 2016. The men, now aged 27, had met up and raped a four-year old girl provided by another site user in the state of Virginia. They have since been sentenced to life behind bars.

After capturing the pedophiles, officers made them hand over their passwords and other means of administering the site.

“Once you have control of the site, you can do whatever you want. Then you can move it wherever you want in the world,” said Paul Griffiths, one of the lead investigators.

The content of the site had been stored on servers of unnamed European countries, but control of the investigation, termed Operation Artemis, were turned to Task Force Argos. Founded in 1997, the unit, which specializes in underage exploitation online, not only had experience of previous stings, but also took advantage of Australian laws which allow police to engage in criminal behavior to catch child predators.

The task force copied the content of 'Childs Play' to an Australian server, and began posting under the identities of the administrators. One of the established means of showing that the website had not been infiltrated was a monthly post of explicit underage content by the administrators – something police in several countries were not allowed to do, even if they had acquired the handles. But this was no obstacle to Task Force Argos, whose officers posted images to prove their credibility.

Under police control, 'Childs Play' flourished. The number of registered accounts doubled in 2017 alone, while the number of posts with pornographic pictures tripled during their 11 months in charge.


But officers told VG that they had homed in on the tens of thousands of active, regular users, and even more importantly, on the 100 or so producers of underage porn, who posted their own original content.

Their operation was nearly derailed by VG itself. The newspaper had begun its own investigation of 'Childs Play', and managed to figure out that the servers were located in Australia and run by the police. While the journalists raised a number of ethical questions with Task Force Argos about officers operating illegal, and posting images of child abuse, they agreed to hold off publishing until the investigation was complete.

On September 13, 2017, Childs Play went offline. Australian police say they have evidence for implicating up to 90 forum members, and information has been sent out to teams around the world, with one country working through a list of 900 people they believe should be prosecuted.

Despite controversy, including from a parent who said her child was used as “bait,” Task Force Argos says it will persist with similar stings.

“Our team, and units like ours across the world are singularly focused on stopping the sexual abuse of children and we will continue to work together to infiltrate, disrupt and dismantle child sex offender networks like this one,” Rouse said.
 
Iceland is having pedophile "issues" too as another forum thread has started:

Icelandic Government Falls Due to Pedophile Pardon Scandal

Government Disbands Over Paedophile’s ‘Restored Honour’
BY JÓHANN PÁLL ÁSTVALDSSON POLITICS about an hour agoUpdated: September 15, 2017 13:34
Government 11.01.2017.

The practice of ‚restoring honour‘ has come under increased criticism in Iceland of late and the issue has disbanded the coalition government of the country. A recent verdict by the Ministry of Justice has allowed the disclosing of information about which individuals have provided letters of recommendations to former convicts applying for a restoration of honour. In a recent turn of events, the coalition government formed under the auspices of Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson, leader of Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn (The Independence Party), disbanded after just under a year in power. The governing body of Björt Framtíð (Bright Future) elected to disband the governing coalition after a case of breached confidence regarding a case of restored honour. The case revolves around the convicted paedophile Hjalti Sigurjón Hauksson, who had his honour restored recently.

The case that is currently the focal point of the national debate, is centred on convicted paedophile Hjalti Sigurjón Hauksson. Hjalti received a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence for sexually abusing his stepdaughter from the ages of five years old to eighteen years. One of the men who provided a letter of recommendation for Hjalti was Benedikt Sveinsson, father of prime minister Bjarni Benediktsson. Bjarni was informed of the letter last July by Minister of Justice Sigríður Á. Árnadóttir. Sigríður had kept the name from the media, and the populace, since June. This information was not relayed to Björt Framtíð and Viðreisn (The Reform Party), the two parties that form the coalition government alongside Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn. Thus, 87% of the governing body of Björt Framtíð voted to disband the coalition. An official statement from Viðreisn also condemns the breach of trust as the party calls for an immediate Parliamentary election.

Restoring honour is an old legal process that effectively wipes the slate clean for convicted criminals. Some official positions in Iceland, such as a practising lawyer, a member of Parliament, or even as the President of Iceland, require people to have an unblemished reputation, and a restored honour makes people eligible for these positions again. The applying individual has also to provide two letters of recommendations to prove that he is a person of a sound moral character. An application for honour restored has, to this day, never been rejected. There are other notable cases of restored honour that have taken place in recent times. Atli Helgason is a currently practising lawyer who brutally murdered his business partners when he struck him with a hammer and hid him in a lava field. Atli had his ‘honour restored’ in January 2016, around 15 years after having murdered his associate near the town of Grindavík. Another case which spurred the national debate as of late is the one of Róbert Árni Heiðarsson. Former victims of Róbert stepped forward and pressed charges against him when he had his application approved. Róbert, who changed his name to Robert Downey in order to hide his true identity, had his honour restored in a court of law recently. He was, previously, convicted of sexual abuse crimes where he seduced underage girls where he posed as a teenager named ‘Rikki’. A sentence was passed on Róbert in 2008 for sexual crimes against four teenage girls in the years of 2005 and 2006. Róbert Árni Heiðarsson had his honour restored on the 16th of September in 2016 alongside Hjalti and three other individuals. It is these cases and their handling that led to the nation casting its eye on these issues.

Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, the president of Iceland, was criticised for approving Róbert’s application. However, Guðni has since criticised the process as the President is not involved in the handling of these cases. The Ministry of Justice suggests cases that are deemed fit for approval, after an inspection by lawyers, are brought to the President for his final approval. In a rousing speech, during the official opening of the Parliamentary year, Guðni heavily criticized the current format of honour restored. The President called for a revision of the Constitution where the emphasis was placed on defining the role of the President further. Minister of Justice, Sigríður Á. Árnadóttir has stated that she intended to suggest a parliamentary bill for a law change regarding the issue of restored honour.

The case is also related to the fact that the Icelandic populace has decided that enough is enough in the matter of sexual crimes. Movements such as #HöfumHátt (loosely translated as #MakeSomeNoise) have brought sexual crimes into the to the forefront of natural discussion. There has been a call for heavier sentences for sexual crimes for some time now. Sentences in Iceland are generally quite lenient as, for example, the maximum sentence that has been given out for first-degree murder is only 16 years. Alongside the restoration of honour for Hjalti and Róbert was an individual who had his honour restored after having been sentenced for drug related crimes. The nation seems to have had its full of the era of secrecy and now demands a fundamental change to the system. It is also thought-provoking to look at what actually lies in the meaning of words. Many believe that the term honour restored is a misleading one, as well as ‘unblemished reputation’. While many believe in the rehabilitative powers of imprisonment and the loss of personal freedom it is clear that there is a discrepancy between that idea and the actual meaning of restored honour.

In Focus is a series of articles intended to shed a light on contemporary issues in Iceland, keeping readers informed on subjects and matters present in the national discussion.

It looks at if the system in Iceland has been quite lenient on sexual predators.

Why Did Hollywood Suddenly Expose Harvey Weinstein?

October 10, 2017

– Suddenly exposing Weinstein after decades of cover-ups seems absurd
– Weinstein deployed the same tactic as De Niro when ousted
– What happened to Weinstein and De Niro’s vaccine safety documentary?


The 15th annual Tribeca Film Festival was one to remember. It will long be remembered as the one whereas Tribeca co-founder and Hollywood legend, Robert De Niro, was condemned for attempting to show Andrew Wakefield’s vaccine safety documentary, Vaxxed. Filmmakers threatened to remove their films from Tribeca’s lineup if De Niro didn’t comply with the removal of the screening. And he most certainly complied.

However, De Niro went on to discuss his child’s Autism in public settings and eventually claimed that he’d be working on his own vaccine safety documentary with the now embattled Hollywood executive, Harvey Weinstein. And then things went crickets. De Niro suited up for the Liberals and began a massive anti-Trump bashing campaign, even threatening violence on multiple occasions. Rhetoric regarding the anti-vaccine or vaccine safety documentary was swept under the rug. De Niro, oddly, went from someone hoping to pay some sort of tribute to his child through promoting vaccine safety to attacking Trump, the same Trump who seemingly shares De Niro’s views over the matter.

PAUSE. Before we go any further, I’d like to note Weinstein’s immediate reactions to being called out for sexual improprieties to the NY Times.

“I’m making a movie about our president …”

“I am going to need a place to channel that anger so I’ve decided that I’m going to give the NRA my full attention. I hope Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party.”


Weinstein’s immediate reaction to allegations of paying off at least 8 women is to attack Trump and the NRA? Isn’t that similar in scope to how De Niro handled his own mudslinging?

According to an interview with Vulture, De Niro seemed to care a lot about the matter prior to wanting to punch Trump.

“What I learned, first of all, there was a big reaction, which I didn’t see coming, and it was from filmmakers — supposedly, I have yet to find out who it was,” expressed the “Hands of Stone” actor. “I wanted to just know who they were, because to me there was no reason not to see the movie.”

It seems De Niro was attempting to learn more about who is detractors were.

“The movie is not hurting anybody. It says something. It said something to me that was valid. Maybe some things were inaccurate, but if the movie was 20 percent accurate, it was worth seeing,” said De Niro. “And they were saying it’s because of the filmmaker and he was discredited, but how was he discredited? By the medical establishment? There’s a lot going on that I still don’t understand, but it makes me question the whole thing, and the whole vaccine issue is a real one. It’s big money. So it did get attention. I was happy about that,” he added

“Something is there with vaccines, because they’re not tested in some ways the way other medicines are, and they’re just taken for granted and mandated in some states,” he explained. “And people do get sick from it. Not everybody, but certain people are sensitive, like anything, penicillin.”

“I’m working on something else,” De Niro said. “Harvey Weinstein and I are working on doing a documentary, but I don’t want to talk much about it, because when I talk about it, something happens. But that’s what we plan to try to do.”

How does one go from this impassioned a position to never mention it again, and instead, replacing it with the liberal mantra of “we hate Trump.”

De Niro states that he doesn’t want to talk about “it” because when he talks about “it,” he says, “something happens.”

Well, a lot of things have happened to his executive producer partner, Harvey Weinstein, in the last few days. He’s been cast out by Hollywood’s liberals for admitting to instances of sexual improprieties. But hasn’t this been known for decades? Many Hollywood actresses readily agreed to take cash settlements after seeing Weinstein in a robe or being asked to massage him, rather than help other women who could have been warned of Weinstein’s shameful actions. Apparently, it was more important to take a bribe than it was to help fellow women in the industry.

Until now…

Suddenly, it seems, the Liberals, many of which who used Weinstein for both acting careers and settlements, hate him and want him cast out.

But why now?

Is it possible that Weinstein was nearing the conclusion of a vaccine safety documentary? If so, he potentially fell out of the protective graces of liberal elites causing them to oust him. They covered up his situation for years. Ashley Judd prominently attacked President Donald Trump over the Hollywood Access tape but failed to mention that a major Hollywood producer sexually harassed her? One of these men personally asked Judd for a massage while scantily outfitted in a robe. The other had nothing to do with Judd. One of these men clearly fell into a protective liberal chamber, the other did not.

According to an article in the KC Star

Twenty years ago Weinstein invited actress Ashley Judd to the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for what she thought was a business breakfast meeting in the lobby, Judd told the Times. When she found out they were meeting in his suite she ordered cereal, she said, so she could eat quickly and leave.

When she got to the room Weinstein was wearing a bathrobe. He asked whether he could give her a massage. She said no. How about a shoulder rub? She declined that, too.

Then, Judd told the Times, he asked whether she would watch him take a shower.

“I said no, a lot of ways, a lot of times, and he always came back at me with some new ask,” Judd told the newspaper. “It was all this bargaining, this coercive bargaining.”

Feeling “panicky, trapped,” and trying to escape without insulting the powerful Weinstein, she joked that if Weinstein wanted to touch her she would first have to win an Oscar in one of his movies.

“Women have been talking about Harvey amongst ourselves for a long time, and it’s simply beyond time to have the conversation publicly,” Judd told the Times.

Did the well dry up of Weinstein’s goods and services to a point that Judd finally cared a bit less about torching him? Or did Weinstein end up rattling liberal cages by being associated with a non-liberal agenda item?

Meryl Streep and George Clooney claim they knew nothing of Weinstein’s improprieties, now they are upset. Matt Damon and Russell Crow helped to cover up Weinstein’s actions in 2004. Now they are missing in action. Actress Rose McGowan benefited to the tune of $100k, but now she claims that went to a “rape crisis center.” Wouldn’t it have better-served women to NOT take the money and publically out this elite? If you didn’t truly want the money and weren’t worried about your career over that of helping women, what could possibly have been the issue here?

“Women have been talking about Harvey amongst ourselves for a long time, and it’s simply beyond time to have the conversation publicly,” Judd told the Times. When she says “women,” she apparently doesn’t mean Streep. The NBC show 30 Rock, backed by Tina Fey’s writing prowess, made a joke about Weinstein years back. So did Tina Fey know? Well, 30 Rock featured Bill Cosby impropriety jokes in 2009, so do the math and play with the logic yourself.

Something triggered the elites to out him, but that trigger remains a mystery. There is no information regarding De Niro and Weinstein’s documentary following De Niro’s announcement of it in 2016. De Niro has since joined the anti-Trump choir and he seems to be in the good graces of the elites. One thing is for sure, challenging the Liberal elites can be a costly venture. And that helps ensure that the cycle continues to breed. As well, so long as you sing the liberal party line, you can likely get away with abuses of young women.

So what triggered liberals to finally sell this man out? If not his connection to the production of an anti-vaccine or vaccine safety documentary, what? I have a difficult time believing that liberals just decided to do the right thing out of thin air.

Why Did Hollywood Suddenly Expose Harvey Weinstein?

October 10, 2017

– Suddenly exposing Weinstein after decades of cover-ups seems absurd
– Weinstein deployed the same tactic as De Niro when ousted
– What happened to Weinstein and De Niro’s vaccine safety documentary?


[...]

That's an interesting article with much to keep an eye on - flip flopping in Hollywood (no surprise there).

With all the talk concerning confidentiality agreements and Weinstein; heck, these agreements are used from corporation to corporation against many types of allegations or the clear cut realities against management, this interview confronts the realities of these agreements. Yesterday there was this radio interview with a lawyer who defends those who are often sexually abused on the issue of these agreements, and she is not happy about these agreements per se, yet they are a legal created reality. The slant on the show notwithstanding, she offers reasons why she negotiates legal terms knowing what it can mean for the victim and their families, and sometimes the victim just wants to get the whole thing over with and move on without being subjected to the torments of courts and the public eye. These agreements can be weird and that is why she ensures the best possible terms for the victim while still trying to ensure there is some accountability from within a corporation - there are many arguments against too.

The Weinsteins of this world are another matter, yet not unknown, and in his case it now seems like one big Hollywood surprise in the media or they just now release their best known Hollywood secretes with other people also acting with prior culpability, silence and even as facilitators. Many likely share in this nature or they were protecting the sources of their own false facade in Hollywood - which mean the world stage; like what was indicated above in the article. For instance, a now seemingly outraged George Clooney, a man who shilled for the White Helmets and what they represented (ISIS propagandists), is now just "upset." He seemed not upset in propagating a lie that indirectly resulted in Syrian children being slaughtered by the people he supported? Was this conscious or not? Is he culpable? If he is, that means anyone who believed with this narrative is culpable - and that paints a big picture indeed. This thread contains reference to people consciously promoting a societal sickness, yet if now asked about Weinstein types they would be the first to likely say they were "upset" I'm sure. If these same people were confronted with evidence of their actions they would be the first to offer a child's family a confidentiality agreement.

I don't have any answers.

Some U.S. critics question if these kind of agreements should be legal — allowing allegedly illegal behaviour to continue.

In Canada, confidentiality agreements are often used in sexual assault and harassment cases. According to lawyer Elizabeth Grace, who represents victims of civil sexual assault, abuse, and harassment, there are even some benefits to plaintiffs signing these agreements.

"Most survivors of abuse and harassment do not want to talk about it," Grace tells The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti.

"So if there is a payment, then frankly it protects them as well. They have a simple answer to nosy questions by journalists, or by other people who see that maybe they have an influx of cash that is, 'I'm not allowed to talk about it' and it just helps them get on with their lives."

However, Grace says confidentiality agreements have also prevented open dialogue of sexual assault in the workplace and in our culture.

"Even though the terms might be quite narrow there's going to be a certain reluctance to talk about what's happened before a fear that somehow you might breach the confidentiality."

But she says forcing people to go to court can discourage people to come forward.

"They're a necessary part of our civil court system."

"If people are going to come forward ... there needs to be a way to resolve the case short of years of emotional turmoil, really incredible stress, putting your life on hold, the financial costs of going to court — rarely, rarely in anybody's interest. So I think it's a necessary evil," Grace explains.

As a lawyer representing a survivor of abuse, Grace says she builds in exceptions so clients can speak to family members, therapists, and advisors.

"I try to build in mutuality so that they not only can ... speak about some matters but the other side, the settling side cannot speak ill of them."

It can be complicated and variegated with so many different types of examples, yet it is usually about a predator and prey. For instance, if one is young with a rising career in Hollywood and a predator like Weinstein does what he does and he is then addressed by legal action, there are options for the victim, outcomes, yet each carries its own form of weight. A Weinstein type will always pay cash without conscience and get away with it.

So what triggered liberals to finally sell this man out? If not his connection to the production of an anti-vaccine or vaccine safety documentary, what? I have a difficult time believing that liberals just decided to do the right thing out of thin air.

I've been wondering about this too. Also wondered what Bill Cosby had done or said so as to get outed.
