Hey, if you click on this discussion, I'd appreciate it if (when time permits) you could take a look at the documentary "Boys for Sale" on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-WLg5RJzBM
It's from 1981 and several brave men and two news stations got together to bring this report that is vital to understand what's going on today.
One man involved in exposing these pedophiles was Professor Tom Philpot. He was "suicided."
And if you get a chance and would like a very through look at how the media covers up for child molesters, please take a look at "The Witch Hunt Narrative" by Professor Ross Cheit. http://blogs.brown.edu/rcheit/sample-page-2/
And another one of them is Mark McKinnon, a guy who has been in and around the most powerful politicians for about 20-25 years now. I asked him if he could answer some questions about the documentary. He responded with a brief "Can't remember, sorry".
Considering his apparent education in the video, I'm of the opinion that he went along with them maybe to try to take them down...and got sucked in with them. One would wonder if these people have a "join us or die" philosophy regarding people they see as genuine threats.
I so wish Dr Philpot was still alive. I think of him often when I'm taking notes. Watching that documentary early on in is actually part of what made it all crystal clear to me. And yes unfortunately McKinnon isn't a hero in this story- perhaps he'd have a change of heart as the tide is turning and is not going to stop
I can't blame him for not wanting to be a hero, though. He's in a very very tough spot and I can understand his reaction. That's why heros are called heros. It takes some real guts to stand up to these people.

He can't remember because if he does, he'll probably join Philpot to the grave.

Yep. 'You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave' H. California lyrics comes to mind.
