So I had been watching this interview with Shirley Temple and Larry King and she talks about how Arthur Freed (the guy who wrote all the songs for Singing in the Rain and was a producer for MGM on a ton of musical films) exposed himself to her when she was 12 years old. here is the video Louis B. Mayer simultaneously tried to get her mother on the casting couch.
And then it occurred to me that Judy Garland also worked for MGM. Apparently, Judy did at least 10 films with Arthur Freed as producer from ages 13 to 22. According to this article and also this book, Judy was very troubled. She was put on barbiturates and tried to commit suicide during this time.
Heres some notable quotes from the article:
According to Paul Donnelly’s remarkable 2007 biography, Garland was a lost child from an early age. When her beloved father Frank Gumm, a flagrant homosexual, died in 1935, the 13-year-old Garland lost her best friend and was left to the mercy of her despicable mother. “My father’s death was the most terrible thing that happened to me in my life,” she repeated over the years. The traumatic period created an unhealthy desire in the girl to seek out older men for love and marriage, many of whom turned out to be homosexual.
And
She certainly didn’t feel safe in the MGM offices of Louis B Mayer. “In our house the word of Louis B Mayer became the law,” Garland said later. He took to groping her in his offi ce, telling her as he put a hand on her left breast that she “sang from the heart”.
And
At 17, Garland was a mess; her life was totally controlled by Mayer and Ethel. Even her love life, such as it was, was carefully monitored. Having lost her virginity at 15, Garland was in constant need of male companionship, especially after the death of her father. She had been linked with child stars Freddie Bartholomew, Jackie Cooper and Frankie Darro. Rooney was her best friend but when she began a putative romance with Tyrone Power, Mayer stepped in and scotched it.
The poor woman was plagued with suicide attempts and copious drugs and drinking until she died of an overdose at age 47.
Makes you wonder how many others they destroyed

Can we stop posting this DATED NEWS ?
It has long been a tactic to reveal information about cases and criminals LONG AFTER they have died and the statute of limitations has expired. It puts distance between current criminals and crimes and promotes a false narrative that MSM and law enforcement are doing something.

This all didn't start 20 years ago out of no where. It's been happening in Hollywood since it's inception probably also in Vaudeville long before that. If you don't understand the history then you can't understand the structure of the present. To understand the structure you have to look at the evidence on who the molesters were and who they were in contact with. Who they hung out with and who they called their friends becomes a road map to possible organizations. Like following a lead from abuser to a group of abusers. I just read that Arthur Freed had a musical production unit called "Freed's Fairies" dubbed such because everyone in it was gay. Ok so they were gay...but could they have also been pedophiles?
Like Jane Manson and Sammy Davis Junior being drawn into Satanism with Anton LaVey who is a Satanist child molester. ----And then Anton LaVey is good friends with L. Ron Hubbard. ------L. Ron Hubbard creates Scientology ----------- Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise are known Scientologists.------------Nicole Kidman's father was an accused Lucifarian MK Ultra child rapist.
You have to connect the dots or you are operating in the dark

Exactly! Just recently a friend of mine said, that "old Hollywood" was not as awful as "new Hollywood", although we both had read the book "Hollywood Babylon" (by satanist Kenneth Anger) already years ago! It's good to expose also the "old heroes". So we can see, how that system works - and always had worked!
I also recommend the history around the book "Peter Pan"... author James M.Barrie was the "foster father" (some say he was a pedo) to the family Llewelyn-Davies. Barrie was fascinated by Michael, one of the sons of the family, who inspired him to create "Peter Pan". Michael grew up... and committed (allegedly) suicide at the age of 21... together with a friend. Some say, they were gay. Another friend was Robert Boothby, who grew up and became the infamous "Lord Boothby" , wo was friends with Winston Churchill... and the evil + pervert Kray Twins. It is said he had a relationship with Ronnie Kray. Ronnie later was in the asylum "Broadmoor" and became a friend of Jimmy Savile, who visited him regularly...
But going back in the past of that family also is interesting. An uncle of the Llewellyn-Davis boys was Georges du Maurier, who was very much into Spiritism. He wrote a novel called "Trilby". It is about a young girl without any talent, but when she's hypnotized, she suddenly can sing - and so she's becoming a star. The guy, who's always hypnotizing her (and so earning a lot of money), is called "Svengali". It's just his name, but today we still call these people in the background of famous performers "Svengali".
Well, I thought that is interesting (although a bit off topic here).

The dividing line in Hollywood was the McCarthy Era/HUAC Hearings where liberals were purged from Hollywood
As the right wing took over in Hollywood we have seen the deterioration and destruction and the movement to horror films and more and more steadily to introduce not only the most grotesque scenes of violent, but also what can only be said to be pornography in movies.
You can also see this on TV -- and it's purposeful. Watch Comcast and Verizon who make tens of billions from porn every as they continue to try to push porn into mainstream TV programming.
As we see with the rise of the right wing everywhere ... drug trafficking and sex trafficking rise.
There's no denying this -- See: Movie "Everyday" with Live Schrieber and Helen Hunt where this very subject is discussed -- where writers are pushed constantly to write more insane and barbaric violence for films/TV.

I thought the Zionist Jews that own the porn industry were considered liberals?

Pornography is an industry. Don't know how much of it is produced by individuals and then picked up -- or how much of it is made in an organized way. If you have any info on it, post it.
As far as I know AIPAC is right wing -- so was Rahm Emmanuel. So is Hillary.
ESOTERICshade ago
You're getting closer but right wing is not the right term. Zionist is the correct term. Trump, Rahm, Hillary, and AIPAC are all Zionists.

You're confused .... right and left are the positions ... right = fascism by violence and violent control left = freedom, liberty, democracy -
Wow -- thought you were a Trumpster ... Agree ... entire Dem Party right now right wing ... under Elite/corporate control -- both parties, actually. = Corporate fascism.
ESOTERICshade ago
Your jargon is useless in today's society because the fascist have buried themselves in the left sphere of our society with their fake charities, school programs, NGO's etc....all lining up to get the taxpayer money from the government and they are destroying our society. You know full well the most destructive people are pretend do gooders in the left. That makes left vs right useless and the only effective method of getting rid of these people is to call them by name instead of pinning the blame on an entire group of people called the "right" that have nothing to do with the problems of this world.

There is no LEFT sphere -- it has most often to do with peace -- and you'll find that they are under constant surveillance as potential "terrorists."
It is the Vatican which was given taxpayer dollars for their "religious based" organizations. W and the Supremes did that for them though it's a violation of the Constitution. That's fascism at work in the US.
Philanthropic programs by elites and fake charities (Trump as an example) are lies -- criminal theft.
Charter schools -- one more way for the right wing to reassert segregation in society.
NGO's have been co-opted by the right wing.
Who was that we just saw steal $1.5 TRILLION from the public for tax cuts for the rich and corporations ... and then destroying Social Security and Medicare in order to pay for it.
Government pays NOTHING for Social Security -- in fact, SS pays the government 3% every year to administer the program. Social Security has been put in the general budget so that the SURPLUS it was never intended to run can offset the MIC/Intelligence costs -- about 70 cents out of every tax dollar. SS is intended to be a "pay as you go system" raising only sufficient funds to cover benefits of those currently retired. The Surplus was created as a way to steal tens of BILLIONS every year from the fund.

You keep using that word and patriarchy and I will keep filling in behind you. You start naming the correct people and organizations and I will stop. Doesn't bother me because I have 87 gigabytes at my finger tips. You are letting me easily educate people. Your wording will cause people to attack what is left of our social safety nets and I won't watch you do it. Real simple.

ESO --
Do you actually understand anything I'm saying to you?
Nor do I want you to stop posting ... keep at it.
How many people have parents who need Social Security and Medicare? Why would anyone in their right mind attack those programs? Only the right wing will do that to enrich themselves by corruption. That's what the "pussy grabber' is doing.
