I found an amazing article on wikileaks that was written in 2009 called "An insight into child porn". It is very long and vast in scope but worth a read if you can manage it. The anonymous author goes into detail about the CP industry including production, distribution, technical details, and pedophiles in general and draws many distinctions that I hadn't considered before. Some of the article relates directly to pizzagate by detailing how webs of CP operate. Also how child protection agencies have been less than helpful and even hurtful on a fundamental level.

Disclaimer: This article contains views which push towards normalizing CP and pedophilia that I do not espouse, but after reading will allow that there is more of a grey area then I previously believed.

TLDR- Takeaways

1) Technically speaking (THORN I'm looking at you) There is no way in hell you can stop, filter or catch people who want to get CP and are the least bit savvy. Any policy or organization that claims to do this is either naive or has ulterior motives for increased monitoring powers. This is under the "The reality of filtering and censorship" section. Again, this was written in 2009 and shows how the distribution infrastructure of CP (like hard drugs) vastly out-classes law enforcement. An example is given of "renting" a virtual machine on a server in Russia on which the virtual workstation contains CP, no files transferred no blacklist triggered, like a remote desktop through a VPN connection and a legit charge on your credit card (like Amazon Web Services).

2) The terms Pedophile and CP have been weaponized politically to the point where it cannot be discussed, or researched. This inhibits rational debate in the same way that calling someone a nazi sympathizer does. If you are found guilty of it, it destroys your whole life and can be a convenient way of getting rid of someone. There are in fact legitimate grey areas such as age of consent differing across countries (age of consent in Spain was 13 when this was written and is now 16), kids sexting being charged with CP. In the US an 18 year old boyfriend of a 16 year old girl can go to jail as a child abuser and rapist. This point is important because these are not the people/organizations we are targeting with pizzagate.

3) The author differentiates (I don't espouse this view) that there is acceptable CP (pictures the kids willingly make and are having a good time) and bad CP which is violent or abusive. According to the author, the "good kind" is like erotic child modelling where the kids do it willingly and get paid. The author claims that the wicked stuff most often gets produced by parents wanting to one up each other on sharing forums and are usually produced without intent for profit but rather status or recognition. These images are vacuumed up and distributed on commercial sites. I don't agree on the good/bad but I would submit that the kids in those two situations would have vastly different scale of psychological damage. I'm glad that my mind was opened to an honest exploration of the idea.

4) According to an informal survey the author did, about 1% of the population is truly pedophile (attracted to young children, repulsed by adults). Another 29% or so of men are claimed to occasionally have fantasies about younger kids but never do anything about it and are "normal" by all social standards. This point (if true) helps me understand how so many of our politicians can be involved. I could believe now that through the intent to blackmail, many powerful men could be enticed to hook up with 16+ year old girls who are sexually advanced. That sucks, but it isn't what pizzagate is really all about either. Still these politicians would technically be pedophiles (end of discussion). Apparently that has a name ephebophile. But not a discussed topic.

The pedo-satanists are the ones we are/should be targeting, it's worthwhile to know how everything plays together, who is truly guilty and who have been swept up by association. As these arrests and raids which continue to happen (and should) pay attention to which groups are being brought down. The pedophiles are not power hungry, the Luciferians are, and they are using pedophilia to drive their agenda.

If this thread stays up, It would be best broken into separate discussions because the article is so wide reaching.
