Chris Brand – Paedohysteria Problematic
The great Chris Brand in fine form reflecting upon the paedophilia accusations levelled against Jimmy Saville, as well as the recent murder of a 12 year old schoolgirl (her chav step-grandfather has been charged today) :

PAEDOHYSTERIA PROBLEMATIC
Serious difficulties arrived for those who demonized paedophilia as Britain’s vastly popular entertainer and charity donor Jimmy Savile, who had died at 85 in 2011, was publicly claimed to have had many affairs with underage girls of 14-15. Savile’s final exposure to detailed accusations took place in a show on the Edinburgh Fringe (Sunday Times, 5 viii) and was to be followed by a criminologist-backed ITV programme in the autumn (Sun, 6 viii).
Not only did Savile’s exposure explode the standard tabloid stereotype of paedophilia but it raised a question of why – contrary to standard tabloid fancy — no-one had noticed or reported any harm occurring in the course of Savile’s long ephebophilic career.
The more serious problem with paedohysteria resurfaced when a 12-yr schoolgirl in New Addington (nr Croydon, south London) was found murdered, most likely by her ‘grandad’ (her 46-yr grandmother’s 37-yr boyfriend) after making a sexual advance that had elicited the standard school-taught and tabloid-blessed outrage.
‘Grandad’ had already served two prison sentences so would have been well versed in the fate awaiting him even as a nonviolent nonce – so murder of Tia, if he could get away with it by hiding the body in the loft of a pal, his nextdoor neighbour, likely seemed preferable. {Paedohysteria probably accounted for more child deaths than did paedophilia.}
Another way of looking at this is that a paedophile might not fear prison so much (and thus take their chances by killing a child) if they would be reasonable safe in prison. However, justice systems don’t always make a good effort to protect men from violence, rape, etc. in prisons.

Good point – and thanks for following me on Twitter!

Another telling point in the story was this one: ‘Her 46 y/o grandmother’s 37 y/o boyfriend…had already served two prison sentences.’
Add to paedohysteria the proclivity of ‘liberated’ women to enter into relationships with dirtbags like this. There are consequences for these kinds of choices, too.

The whole country is surrounded by nonces (imbeciles).

Meanwhile back in the land Downunder, the local law enforcement bodies are zealously wasting more tax-payers funds on a fresh blast of hot air to the paedohysteria furnace.
This is more likely just another story made up to benefit the hysterical Australian public, which of late have only been fed small rations of paedo-sleaze by the otherwise frenzied and witch-hunting media.
In reality there would probably be easily ten times more children drowned in backyard swimming pools, over any given period of time, than there would be of those who have ever actually encountered ‘sexual predators’ via the Internet!
It’s also quite offensive how these media stories are continually being exaggerated or even fabricated, to make the paedohysterical public believe that not only are there so many ‘predators’ and deviants and perverts out there in the community, but how its about the ONLY danger any child is ever likely to face.
Even more offensive is the fact that the ‘children’ they are supposedly ‘protecting from harm’ includes 15, 16 and 17 year old girls who are fully aware of the predator’s (who could well be 18 or 19 year old boys) intentions and who all willingly share the same intent!

Alan:
I wonder how many of these dopes in Australian law enforcement end up catching each other more often than they catch any real ‘predators’. The US media won’t report it, but a huge percentage of these ‘sting operations’ usually end up catching other undercover operatives, who are busy chasing other undercover operatives.
I knew a retired detective who told me that 95% of cases are solved because the police were told where to look by an informant. Roughly the other 5% was just sheer luck.
Real violent sexual predators know the police have spies all over the place and take measures not to make themselves noticeable. (Excepting high-profile celebrity types and pro-feminist bloggers who have ‘protection’ of course).
These kinds of stories are really all about propaganda, to enflame paedohysteria, more than anything else.

Yep, which was my whole point – to apply ‘a fresh blast of hot air to the paedohysteria furnace’…
And that’s why I also said there would be a lot more children drowning in pools (and exposed to numerous other REAL life-threatening hazards) than what there would ever be children who have ever actually encountered a so-called ‘online predator’.
In fact Angry Harry even stated it somewhere: that a child would probably be far more likely to be struck by lightening than to be approached by any bogie-man paedophile…

Cops catching other cops pretending to be slutty 14 year olds might be amusing, but the feminists love the statistics they can extract from this. In fact, I’m sure they encourage this activity simply to generate numbers. While carefully censoring out the fact that so many of these cases involve entirely fictitious children, they then use these ‘facts’ to gain support for laws which make being male a crime in itself.
We already have completely innocent men being warned that photographing their kids at sports carnivals is producing child porn. Such persecution couldn’t have been implemented without creating a monster to be scared of.
Meanwhile, mothers continue to bash their children with impunity.

Deano,
Nice to see another great comment from you again..
I’ve just been reading and posted a comment to the Herald Sun article about the recent and long overdue sacking of our favorite, well known bearded paedocrite from Melbourne radio station: 3AW.
You may recall a few months ago when I mentioned here that I hadn’t seen his ugly face gracing our TV screens at around 7:00 pm each week-night on Channel 7…
Now we know where he’s been hiding, apparently for the past 12 years…
I posted a comment to the forum which in stark contrast to all others, (which all expressed sadness and regret and that pedestal him as a ‘great moral hero’) stated essentially: that it was good riddance to this vile hypocrite who named and shamed people before they were even questioned by police for alleged sex offences involving children. And that he should be residing in a cell block of a prison that accommodates his targets. Targets he used as effective shields, to deflect public attention away from his own similar sexual preferences.
My comment hasn’t been published yet and I’m certain it never will be, but isn’t it great to know that he can name and shame via public TV and radio: any innocent man he so chooses, of the most despicable of all sex-crimes, without a shred of evidence to substantiate such allegations; yet we are not even allowed to express our opinions in a trivial online newspaper forum, if such commentary accuses him of anything, or disputes paedohysteria!

Deano & Alan:
In the United Police States of America, these things are done for the express purpose of both fanning paedohysteria and building support for expanding police powers.
Rupert Murdoch, the Australian media mogul, promotes paedohysteria over here with a vengeance too. Most of his henchmen at Fox News Channel have long track-records of sensationalising ‘sexual predators’, always accompanied by calls for internet censorship and greater police powers.

Alan – regarding a certain bearded radio presenter with the same initials as Dick Head, yes I was amused to hear of his sacking. It looks like his “brave fight to carry on despite being only months away from death” didn’t rouse any interest.
