Link between Looking At Big Tits, Fucking
Infants, Still Unsubstantiated
WASHINGTON—Although last year’s U.S. Government’s
Protection From Pornography Week enjoyed great success, with parents’
groups, schools, and law enforcement agencies openly touting President
Bush’s hard-line stance toward pornography, scientists still
have yet to find a link between Bush’s assertion that pictures
of women’s breasts will lead to child sexual exploitation.
James Evans, a quantum physicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT), said that scientists are struggling to define just what Protection
from Pornography Week 2003 was. “While listening to his introduction,
we thought Bush was presenting a project to keep pornography away
from children, but then he entirely focused the rest of his speech
on child pornography and sexual crimes against children, leaving us
all a little confused what ‘protection from pornography’
meant, since by itself pornography is not dangerous—pornography
does not make child pornography, people make child pornography.”
And
Evans and colleagues worldwide continue to be baffled over the semantics
of the phrase. “Was Bush saying he wanted to keep children from
viewing pornography, or protect children from being molested, or that
viewing pornography causes children to be molested, or a pornographic
picture will lead to child sexual exploitation, or that viewing pornography
causes child porn? We’re still heavily debating this question
a year later.”
Evans is referring to Bush’s 2003 Presidential “Protection
from Pornography Week” Proclamation, in which Bush states that
“pornography can have debilitating effects on communities, marriages,
families, and children” and that he will “take steps to
confront the dangers of pornography.” Bush then solely ends
up discussing child pornography and agendas to protect children from
sexual exploitation.
This leap of logic left hundreds of scientists over the past year
struggling to find a link between pornography and child molestation
or to discern what Bush actually meant by Protection From Pornography
Week.
“He definitely is saying that viewing pornography leads to child
molestation,” said Laurie Wilkinson, a professor of geology
from University of Washington.
But not all scientists agree with this assertion.
One camp presented the theory that Bush didn’t actually mean
‘protection from pornography’ but instead meant ‘protect
our children from child molesters.’
“He couldn’t have meant ‘protect our children from
child pornography,’ since that might be like saying children
shouldn’t see each other naked,” Evans said. “Actually,
maybe they shouldn’t—that could be planting the seeds
that lead to porn.”
A third camp of scientists claim Bush knew exactly what he was doing
and saying, claiming that it was part of an Illuminati plan to censor
free speech and cripple the First Amendment.
The Illuminati are a supposed ancient society thought to be conspiring
to build a one-world government. Those who believe in the Illuminati
claim that one of their many plans to help them accomplish their purpose
is to destroy free will, individualism, and freedom of speech.
Counsel for the ACLU Ann Beeson, speaking about the 1998 Child Online
Protection Act challenged by the ACLU, (an act of Congress that attempted
to regulate pornography because there was a potential for minors to
view it), said that conservative groups “rationale is to protect
children” but thinks they “are trying to legislate morality”
and “censor adult’s access to speech.”
Illuminati conspiracy or not, Beeson seems to be stating, five years
before Protection From Pornography Week, that conservatives are using
the issue of child protection to promote their hidden agendas, and
that the conservative "morality" that inspires proclamations
such as Protection From Pornography Week is a ruse to ultimately cripple
the First Amendment.
In an article entitled “Obscene Feminists,” author Annalee
Newitz claims that linking adult sexuality with child pornography
will threaten basic civil liberties “that women gained only
a few decades ago and that teens are rapidly losing: the right to
speak freely about your sexuality without fear of social, political,
or legal reprisals.”
And only days before the anniversary of Protection from Pornography
Week 2003, Whitehouse officials are showing no signs of launching
a campaign for this year, causing many to feel that insiders regarded
the first proclamation as nonsense. Regardless, the debate raging
on in the scientific community may not disappear as quietly.
