We are seeing some
outing of sexual predators. But there are very large cases already out in the
open.
And the press carries
out its prime directive: cover the issue BUT don't follow up, don't reveal the
stunning implications.
Here are just three
examples of many---
LA Times, 10/27/11:
"The addresses for more than 1,000 state-licensed care facilities for
vulnerable people in California matched addresses on the state sex offender
registry, according to a newly released audit."
What?? How were 1000
registered sex offenders allowed to attach themselves to care facilities, or
even worse, organize the facilities? And are we supposed to believe these 1000
occurrences were independent of each other? Or were they the result of an
overall plan? No press follow-up.
"State Auditor
Elaine M. Howle said the California Department of Social Services failed to
check the sex offender registry even after her office advised it to do so in
2008."
"The facilities matching the registry of sex offenders included foster homes, group homes and day-care facilities for children, as well as facilities for adults with special needs and the elderly."
"The facilities matching the registry of sex offenders included foster homes, group homes and day-care facilities for children, as well as facilities for adults with special needs and the elderly."
"Investigations
are now complete and the state said eight licenses have been revoked or
suspended and regulators issued 31 orders barring individuals from licensed
facilities."
What?? A thousand
registered sex offenders are connected to care-facilities, but only 39 actions
have been taken? Again, no press follow-up.
CBS News, May 5,
2014: "The Vatican revealed Tuesday that over the past decade, it has
defrocked 848 priests who raped or molested children and sanctioned another
2,572 with lesser penalties, providing the first ever breakdown of how it
handled the more than 3,400 cases of abuse reported to the Holy See since
2004."
"The Vatican's
U.N. ambassador in Geneva, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, released the figures
during a second day of grilling by a U.N. committee monitoring
implementation of the U.N. treaty against torture."
"Only in 2010
did the Vatican explicitly tell bishops and superiors to also report credible
cases to police where local reporting laws require them to."
What?? "Where
reporting laws REQUIRE THEM to"? In other words, as far as the Vatican is
concerned, if there is no explicit law, HIDE THE CRIMES. This in itself is not
a major press story? Where is the deep follow-up?
"The figures,
however, only cover cases handled directly by the Holy See, not those handled
by local diocesan tribunals, meaning the total number of sanctioned priests is
likely far higher."
"The latest
spike began in 2010, when 464 cases were reported, more than twice the amount
in 2009. Starting in that same year, the Vatican began resorting more and more
to the lesser penalty of sentencing accused priests to a lifetime of penance
and prayer rather than defrocking them. The Vatican often metes out such
sentences for elderly or infirm priests, since defrocking them would
essentially render them destitute in their final years."
What?? As more cases
were reported, the Vatican took LIGHTER ACTIONS against the sex-criminal
priests. That's another major press investigation that never happened.
France 24, Dec. 15,
2017: "The [Australian] government ordered the Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2012 after a decade of
pressure to investigate widespread allegations across the country."
"The commission
was contacted by more than 15,000 survivors who detailed claims of child abuse
involving churches, orphanages, sporting clubs, youth groups and schools, often
dating back decades."
"It heard
horrific stories during often confronting and emotionally exhausting public and
private hearings."
"In total, more
than 4,000 institutions were accused of abuse, with many of them
Catholic-managed facilities."
"'Tens of
thousands of children have been sexually abused in many Australian
institutions. We will never know the true number,' the final report said,
making hundreds of recommendations to improve children's safety and make it
harder for paedophiles to operate unpunished."
"'Whatever the
number, it is a national tragedy, perpetrated over generations within many of
our most trusted institutions'."
"During its
hearings, the commission heard that seven percent of Catholic priests were
accused of abuse in Australia between 1950 and 2010, but the
allegations were never investigated, with children ignored and even punished
when they came forward."
"There were more
than 1,800 alleged perpetrators, with the average age of the victims at the
time 10 for girls and 11 for boys. The St John of God Brothers religious order
was the worst, with just over 40 percent of members accused."
"The inquiry
embroiled Australia's most senior Catholic cleric George Pell, now the
Vatican's finance chief, who was questioned over his dealings with paedophile
priests in Victoria state in the 1970s."
"Pell is
currently accused of multiple historical sexual offences, with a committal
hearing in March due to decide if there is enough evidence from the prosecution
for the case against him to go to trial."
Priests would
certainly share victims---which means pedophile networks. This is not being
explored by the press, and I see no evidence that law-enforcement is pursuing
the obvious implication, either. Exposing the truth would indict the Vatican in
far more than a series of scandals:
Instead---a
centuries-old organized sex-crime operation that protects its members and uses a
religious cover story to hide itself.
In the three cases I
cite in this article, the press has failed to follow up in several huge ways.
Realize that editors and publishers have actually hamstrung their
reporters---"don't go further." This is no accident. The crimes below
the crimes must not see the light of day.
This straitjacket is
applied to reporters on an ongoing basis. Below, Biden the groper.
The press
outlets---despite their denials---have the time, money, and resources to do
deep investigations. (Such probes would actually pay off in larger audiences
and increased ad rates.)
The reason to curtail
investigations is political.
Major media owners
and major crime figures share memberships in the same "clubs." When
their interests collide, the media will only go so far.
Then STOP signs
appear.
This blocking
strategy, deployed for decades, has a deleterious effect on the public. Readers
and viewers think, during hundreds of news reports, "Why didn't that
reporter ask the next obvious question?" But eventually, the consumer of
mainstream news decides, "It must be me. I'm the one who doesn't
understand. Those reporters aren't pursuing leads for good reasons, whatever
those reasons are." Below, Pedosta fishes for teens.
