#epstein

Conspiracy of the year. What a time for such a huge leak to come out. Remember Ghislaine’s parents are Israeli survelliance. Coeicidence? Fuck no.

Please stay safe everyone. VPN up. Be mindful of your convos. Keep your phone at home every now and then. Find ways to unplug and become more self sufficient and less reliant on ANYONE.

Much love.

Hey the Maxwell trial is abou-

OH MY GOD STOP TALKING THERE’S NEW COVID.

All the respect for Anonymous

For obvious reasons, I don’t talk a lot about current events on a blog called “Vintage Geek Culture.” But there is a truly bizarre connection in this 60s scifi novel to the current case of Jeffrey Epstein, a man who ran a hedge fund surrounded by intelligence agents and trafficked in underage girls in a sex ring, one surrounded by key members of finance and politics.

The author of this novel is former wartime intelligence agent Donald Barr, the father of the current Attorney General, William Barr. As principal of the Hackley Private School in the 1970s, Donald Barr’s day job, Barr was the first to hire Jeffrey Epstein as a math teacher, despite the fact Epstein didn’t have a college degree.

Here is where it gets weirder. The plot of “Space Relations” is that ultra wealthy aliens, debauched and bored and unable to be satisfied by their riches, start to kidnap humans as sex slaves, transporting them into space to be given as illegal playthings of the super rich of the galaxy.

I’m sure you’ve seen at least one of my posts by now about how the conspiracy of some powerful elite cabal in the shadows to rape children is just a misogynist’s inability to understand rape culture, and I guess I should probably go in depth on some of these ideas because everyone’s posting the save our children hash tag .

So, first off, I want to start on a more constructive note and highlight some of the ways we could address the underlying issue of rape culture , so that it’s clear what I’m saying is with the sole intention of *actually protecting children* before I start critiquing the conspiracy / hashtag .

#1) LEGALIZE SEX WORK
For 100% clarity, I do mean sex work between consenting adults. If anything maybe even raise the age from 18 to somewhere between 20-25, but DEFINITELY do NOT lower it, at all. Legalizing sex work for adults would free up more resources to fight child sex trafficking, since without sex work being pushed into the black market, there wouldn’t be anywhere near the demand for human trafficking when you could see a girl who can prove she is healthy, is actually consenting, and in a safe environment rather than having to enter sketchy dangerous situations where they are at far higher risks as the client as well. The average person hiring a prostitute has no interest in being a rapist, they’re just lonely. The average person hiring a prostitute probably doesn’t feel very safe around gangs and mobs and all that. And with sex work legalized, sex workers are FAR safer from the dangerous clients, or any criminal element they’re forced to endure while operating in a black market. Less profit, means less resources for the sex traffickers, while our resources are properly spent actually protecting women and children from traffickers. Under the current system most our resources are spent punishing sex workers and their clients , while preserving the black market that incentives human trafficking.

#2) REPLACE VERTICAL HIERARCHIES WITH HORIZONTAL POWER STRUCTURES

Consolidating power in the hands of one person at the top , rather than spreading it across as many people as possible very obviously creates the situations where rich and powerful people can abuse that power. It’s a lot harder to cover things up the more people you have to convince to be in on the cover up. I really feel this is self explanatory?

#3) MAKE SURE THERE ARE PROGRAMS IN PLACE TO HELP ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH THEIR PEDOPHILIA

Reminder there ARE pedophiles out there who are absolutely disgusted by their attraction to children, have never harmed a child, and are desperately seeking help to make sure they never do. There is a push to try and frame this argument as “defending pedophiles” , but would you execute someone who was molested as a child themselves, never hurt a child, and is legit disgusted by their urges? No? Well then we should probably make sure they have resources they can access to help them, yeah?

#4) NORMALIZE SEX AND STOP MORALIZING IT:
A big part of pedophilia is more or less fetishizing innocence and “purity” , and is basically the mentality of “women are less valuable sexually the more sex they’ve had before you” taken to an absolutely disgusting extreme . Also kids being too sheltered and not feeling comfortable enough to talk to their parents are far more vulnerable to predators .

#5) EMBRACE COMMUNAL CHILD REARING OVER THE NUCLEAR MODEL
While it would hopefully be the most basic primal instinct of a parent to protect their children from rapists , that’s clearly not the case in practice. Frequently parents are complacent , if not directly involved when it comes to children who have been abused. Making sure children have a community watching over them would be far more effective than hoping parents are good people .

Now what’s the big problem with these conspiracies ? Even if they aren’t suggesting these solutions, at least they’re raising awareness, right? Ehhhh…

I’m not accusing any INDIVIDUAL of doing this, but as a SOCIETY we have an ongoing issue of the hyper performative “execute the rapists!” ending up being super counter productive . Conservatives will swear they can’t support rape culture because they “would gladly kill a rapist” But, then they only define rape as the most stereotypical violent assault in a dark alley while insisting rape victims “wanted it”

Also there is a really weird hypocrisy from some of the people sharing this shit where a bad picture of ellen degeneres looking old is proof she rapes and eats babies , but when your favorite rapper is accused of rape you demand video evidence from 4 angles , 25 eye witnesses, and want the defendant to be able to repeat her story backwards perfectly otherwise she’s just a clout chasing whore.

And last but not least, Pizzagate literally originated on 4chan, a website over run with alt right pedophiles , and fits perfectly with the argument that conspiracies all blame society’s issues on a shadowy cabal of jews. At the center of the conspiracy, there’s the belief that donald trump is ACTUALLY the only one brave enough to fight evil satanic jewish pedophile shadow government and he’s been “playing 5d chess this whole time”. The root of the conspiracy is “Cultural marxist Jews want to rape your kids, and only Trump can save our children”

#SaveOurChildren just trims the fat to make it easier for you to chew

with all that said, if reading what someone who’s at least vaguely male-ish such as myself has to say about rape culture was the first time you realized that maybe it is an actual thing PLEASE read actual feminist writings about this stuff from women
