The Nature of Evil

Some days occasionally render me in a contemplative recognition; such is no different at this moment, for I am wont to consider what I call the "nature of evil" which, for me, begs four master questions:

-- Is there true Evil?
-- Can persons actually be Evil?
-- Can one, then, attempt to reason with Evil?
-- Can Evil even recognize Reason?

I would care for your thoughts. This has a great deal to do with our current world and worldview philosophies, on many fronts and many levels, national and political.

And here on our AZ blog.

I myself wholly believe in the existence and prosperance of Evil. I have viewed it, seen its wastes, smelled its stench in the night, known people who canonized its name, seen its carrion-strewn carcasses, looked it directly in the eye and understood when it wished to kill me.

A smattering of the innumerable Homicide cases I handled:

- A mother smothered her child by putting her head in a Ziploc bag; she left the child in her crib, called to schedule a nail appointment. The child, sick, kept her from a bowling appointment and a prior nail appointment. We found her stirring soup on a stove with a dead baby in the other room.

- A high schooler, angry at having been fired from a pizza job, returned with a gun and robbed the store, shooting his once-best friend because "he should have quit after I was fired, if he was my friend." In the interview, he was not to blame because "the doctors should have done a better job saving him."

- A couple had decided to split up; in the process of determining who received what, an argument ensued over who owned the batteries in the TV remote. One spouse shot the other in the neck and then removed the batteries from her dead hand. The pulsing arterial spray hit the white apartment wall from a distance of 5 feet away.

- As he had lost face and was losing control of the relationship because his wife was suddenly making more money than he, a former star collegiate football player from an incredibly successful and heavily-monied family (and an obsessive-compulsive neat/control freak) peaked one night when his son would not be quiet. He struck his 5-year-old on the head, caving in his skull and killing him. His pregnant wife walked in seconds later and observed the scene. She too was killed as was the fetus. To obviate his guilt he doused all the bodies with gasoline and lighted them all on fire, blaming an unknown and unseen assailant.

I pointedly refuse to summarize the child abuse cases I handled; they know who they are and all dust needs to settle and can, to a degree, with time.

I ask you again:

-- Is there true Evil?
-- Can a person actually be Evil?
-- Can one, then, attempt to reason with Evil?
-- Can Evil even recognize reason?

How can the molestation of our children be anything less than the exuberance and thrill of sheer Evil?

ACLU-backed demonic child pornster will serve his 200 years

by Glib Fortuna @ 9:43 am. Filed under ACLU
I hope he lives that long and is treated, well, like people of his ilk are normally treated in jail.

Don Surber reports: Supreme court OKs 200 years for child porn
Proving not everyone in Washington has lost his mind, justices denied an appeal of a 200-year sentence for a high school teacher who downloaded child porn from 1996 until he was caught in 2002, Reuters reported.

Without any comment, the high court declined to hear the constitutional challenge to the sentence given to Morton Berger, who at the time of his arrest in 2002 was a married, 52-year-old high school teacher with no prior criminal record.

Berger's lawyers said his lengthy punishment was grossly disproportionate to his crime and exceeded the sentences regularly imposed in Arizona for violent crimes that result in serious injury to the victim.

But child porn is a violent crime. A person rapes a child and photographs it. By downloading child porn, a man becomes an accessory to the crime after the fact.

Said Reuters:
Evidence at trial established that Berger possessed numerous videos and photo images of different children, some younger than 10 years old, being subjected to sexual acts with adults and other children.The jury heard testimony that Berger had downloaded child pornography on his computer from 1996 to 2002. He was convicted on 20 separate counts.

The ACLU of Arizona had helped with this appeal. Its press release said:
Cruel & Unusual Punishment (State v. Berger):
ACLU cooperating attorney Don Peters assisted in filing a brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider overturning a 200-year sentence that was given to a man who was found to be in possession of child pornography. Morton Berger was charged with 20 separate counts of sexual exploitation of a minor under the age of 15 and sentenced to 20 consecutive 10-year sentences for possession of child pornography.

The Arizona Supreme Court upheld the conviction and rejected the ACLU's argument that the sentence was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

The federal Supreme Court rejection of this case comes on the heels of the arrest on Friday of Charles Rust-Tierney, a former president of the ACLU in Virginia, on child porn charges.

Dang! 200 years? I hope he packed some clean underwear and a lunch.

Unsympathetic

Let me state this up front: I am a convert, from agnostic to a believer. I believe in God, in Good and Evil. But I feel I have to write about this turn of events from an unsympathetic viewpoint.

From The Sierra Times:

SAN DIEGO - The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego said Tuesday that it planned to file for bankruptcy protection to put off going to trial in more than 140 lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by priests.

When I worked Child Abuse for a major California law enforcement agency I had the prime suspect in one of my cases "disappeared" and moved from the local diocese. I was not at all pleased. Additionally, at the time, I was told to drop the case and move on with others.

Wrong is wrong, and Evil is Evil, no matter the robe or uniform or inclination. I am fresh out of sympathy when I read of this turn of events.

Poor Wittle Ashford Gots His Feelings Hurted

It seems that I may have recently started something, and that in doing so I've offended the high pedophile whack job Lindsay Ashord. Don't worry, I'm not about to be upset that the little wiener is complaining and making a fuse just because someone is a little tired of him abusing the world wide web by publishing his tripe accounts of how horrible the rest of the world is for not letting him legally rape little girls.

Months ago I mentioned at my place that Ashford had decided to play political pundit by using his sexual arousal as a means of picking the man whose children he'd most like to see growing up in the White House.

I was rather disappointed with the slow reaction time to this matter on behalf of a great many political leaders, and had recently mentioned it again. The matter really heated up when *someone* decided to point out on the Obama blogs that Ashford was up to his tricks again.

Seems that suddenly, people were worried, and worried enough that they sent this letter to Ashford.

The only thing I can say is: "Good for you Obama. I may hate your politics, and I may swear on my life that you'll never have my vote... but on this subject alone, and on this particular action, you have my respect. As long as you follow through that is."

Of course, Ashford in his usual whining ranting isn't as happy about this little development, and is pleading his rights to freedom of speech:

You may also remember that my nemesis, the lovely Lilo, as well as some other bloggers got very upset about the post and wrote all sorts of humourous things as a result. In fact, intrepid Lilo even went so far as to telephone the offices of several of the politicians mentioned to tell them of the blog post. Much to her surprise, none of them did anything! Undeterred, Lilo has brought up the whole thing again. It appears that this time around, somebody, somewhere, listened. Yesterday, this website received a letter from Robert Bauer of the law Perkins Coie, who represent Obama for America demanding that the pictures be taken down. Not only that, Bauer demanded that I remove any mention of Obama or his family from the website, as well as any links to Obama's website.

First off, despite the fact that I really am rather lovely- I'd think I was a little out of Ashfords league, seeing how I can defend myself against sexual predators such as himself, and I've already surpassed his level (or lack of) intelligence. But that's beside the point.

More importantly, Ashford is forgetting a very important little detail- as much as he likes to throw around the right to freedom of speech as granted by the US Constitution, he should be looking at other laws we have here, that aren't so favorable to "his kind". Such as the Child Protection act of 2003 (also known as the PROTECT ACT:

The Child Protect Act passed in 2003 gives U.S. law enforcement greater authority to pursue sexual predators across borders. It authorizes a penalty of up to 30 years in prison for U.S. citizens engaged in an act of child sexual exploitation, even if it occurs in another country.

Ashford states that I'm "undeterred", and he's right. I'll continue to be here, continue to insist that our leaders protect our children from the likes of scum like him.

A Must-Sign Petition

A prominent children's rights activist has alerted me to a very timely, relevant petition.

The petition seeks to ban all websites which promote paedophilia; the petition specifically names the NAMBLA website and the revolting sites of sleeze bag Lindsay Ashford.

Sign the petition today if you believe in a safer world for your children. These websites rationalize predatory behaviour and encourage potential abusers in their psychotic delusions. Lindsay Ashford goes so far as to prey on our children on the face of his website.

It is time for responsible, caring adults to unite in saying NO to child exploitation and abuse.

A big thank you to the activist who alerted me to this petition. If you would like to identify yourself, please feel free to leave a comment.

ACLU Pres, Youth Sports Coach, Predatory Paedophile

Charles Rust-Tierney was President of the ACLU in Virginia from 2002-2005. A youth sports coach who yesterday appeared in court on charges of downloading child pornography from the net. Perhaps this explains why the ACLU always appears more concerned with the rights of child molesters than children. Little has been reported in the case except that Rust-Tierney admitted to downloading numerous images and videos after they were seized from his home.

As a sidenote, it is important to recall the findings of Malesky & Ennis through their analysis of the BoyChat forum (2004) that:

there is evidence suggesting that individuals who have been convicted of Internet-related, non-contact sexual offenses are likely to have committed undetected 'hands on' offenses as well.

Not surprisingly, this story has been "hushed up". For further details and updates, please see the exceptional guys at Stop the ACLU.

Free Speech, Ignorance or Wickedness? You Decide

What is up with Amazon you may be asking yourself. I'd like to take a moment to explain. Amazon apparently doesn't like being told what they should and shouldn't sell. They are being quite stubborn as a matter of fact. But what's interesting here is that while they claim FREE SPEECH as the reason for harboring and selling the words of an admitted child molester, they are censoring their customers comments.

And as if that weren't enough, their own publishing company BookSurge has removed this book from distribution. Wonder why? And yet Amazon, continues to sell the iUniverse copy of Viamund's book. This is quite telling isn't it? iUniverse cancelled their contract with Viamund after realizing what it was that had been printed.....BookSurge is with the program enough to know they need to get rid of that book quickly. Only Amazon is stupid? wicked? thoughtless? enough to continue selling it. Well....attempting to sell it. Interesting that they will turn their back on their own responsibility in order to offer a book for sale that has dropped in ranking from 384,000 to almost 2 millionth in the space of two weeks. Thank you everyone who has helped with this!

I received this email from iUniverse today:

Dear Stitches 77,

Thank you for your e-mail and concern regarding the book Viamund the Boy-Love Vampyre Says. Once the content of the this particular book was revealed we took action to cancel the title.

We are working with sites, in which we directly distribute title information, to completely remove the title; however, due to proprietary information we do not release sales information on any of our titles.

Again, thank you for your concern.

Regards,
Lori Kaser
Post Publishing Services Supervisor
iUniverse, Inc.

How interesting! Amazon is also offering the book in defiance of the publisher. I believe it will be gone completely within a couple of weeks at the most. Does that make what Amazon did 'ok' to you? The way I see it.....Amazon thumbed their noses at children, then they proceeded to censor our comments claiming they opposed censorship, then they wisely withdrew the edition that their own publisher printed while offering the edition of their competitor for sale. Hmm.

Nah, I think I can live without them. What it has come down to is that Amazon cannot reform itself. When the book disappears from Amazon it won't be because of them, it will be because iUniverse was successful in retrieving all copies. By the way iUniverse is owned by Barnes & Noble the first book seller to respond to our request. They have my current and future support.

Be sure and check the following updates as some have changed. He's also stealing the work of anyone who has blogged about this and posting it on his other blogs. You need to be aware of where to find his thievery!

Orange County, CA Ex-judge Kline gets prison

Six years of legal wrangling ends with former O.C. Superior Court judge sentenced to 27 months for child pornography.



By LARRY WELBORN
The Orange County Register
LOS ANGELES – Former Superior Court Judge Ronald C. Kline offered "a lifetime of apologies" and then collapsed Tuesday as he was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for possession of child pornography.

Kline, 66, had just learned that U.S. District Court Judge Consuelo B. Marshall was rejecting his bid to be placed on probation when his eyes fluttered and his knees buckled.

"I think I'm going to faint," he said as he crumbled into the arms of Paul S. Meyer, his defense attorney...

... Tuesday's sentencing ended nearly six years of legal wrangling that saw Kline charged at one point with possessing child pornography in federal court and child molestation in state courts.

The state case was ultimately dismissed, based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the prosecution was pressed beyond the statute of limitations.

The federal pornography case was also threatened in 2003 when Marshall ruled that the evidence of pornographic images found on his home computer had been illegally seized.

But a federal appeals court disagreed with Marshall in 2004, and the pornography charges were reinstated.

A year later, in December 2005, the ex-judge pleaded guilty and broke down in tears...

...Tuesday, he lost his freedom. He will not be eligible for parole until he serves at least 23 months. He was given until May 21 to report to federal prison.

Marshall said Tuesday that the seriousness of the porn charges demanded that Kline be punished. She ordered that Kline be registered as a sex offender for the rest of his life, that he not possess any computer equipment and that he not access the Internet during three years of probation.

Kline admitted he stored more than 100 sexually explicit photos of under-age boys on his computer and on several disks found at his Irvine home in November 2001.

Police caught onto Kline after a Canadian computer whiz hacked into the judge's Irvine home computer and discovered sexually explicit images of young boys and a diary that revealed Kline's fantasies involving young boys. A subsequent search of his court computer revealed more images and more Web sites...

Hide if you must, but we will find you.

Not about politics....

... it's about kids. However, I'm willing to admit- I lean towards the right more than the left, because I imagine that my political beliefs are bound to be questions, that's okay though.

Eight months ago, I mentioned to you that self admitted pedophile Lindsay Ashford was starting to gear up a little early for the '08 bid for the election. He'd already composed his list of White House hopefuls, and was looking over the qualifications to see just which hopeful he'd be most supportive of. The problem with this was that he was using the daughters, and granddaughters of his list of hopefuls, and his sexual attraction for each child as a measuring stick to determine who he'd be happiest to see win.

At that time, I also shared that because he was displaying actual photos of the children, and because of the context of his post, I had attempted to use it to draw attention to this online predator to our members of congress. I called office after office, explaining in detail the issue, and providing the url of the post.

Most were shocked to hear what I was telling, some didn't even hesitate to load the page, just because it seemed so impossible that someone would actually do this. Security at Capital Hill was contacted.

Now, remember that not even a month later, the John Walsh Child Protection Act was signed into law. It was a big to-do. An entire high profile display of just how important the safety of our children is to Capital Hill. So, with that in mind- what do you think came of the knowledge so many people have of Lindsay Ashford? What do you think was done to protect the innocent children splashed across his website just because he's a sick freak, and because their relatives are political leaders? Nothing.

You'll be voting in '08, for a group of people who want you to believe that by signing their names to laws, by voting in support of them, they are interested in protecting your children... when in truth- they can't even protect their own.

That day I called and complained about this sickening post by a pedophile- I also ran a post explaining to readers that ONE member of Congress had an employee that stated they weren't concerned with this, that they had no comment, and no plans to do anything. His comments were in my first post (linked at the top) but removed, because I actually believed for a moment, that his response did nothing but encourage the pedophiles. However, it wasn't long afterwards that I received this:

Hi Lilo,



I just wanted to give you an update on the pictures you called about earlier.



Senator ***** daughters are private citizens and our hope is that they will be treated as such, and I must admit it was more than a little disturbing to see them displayed in that fashion. My concern with commenting further on this matter is that a reaction from me would somehow encourage further discussion of the girls on that person's website, which is the last thing anyone wants.



If there are any further updates on this, though, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd pass them along to me. Meanwhile, I can promise you that Senator ***** will continue to work in the U.S. Senate to strengthen laws that put child predators behind bars.



Best,

That Senator is running for President, and while I was assured that he was working to make laws stronger to protect our kids... I have to wonder why his children are still featured on a pedophile's website, a site that is directly related to one intended to help pedophiles entrap young girls into illegal sexual relationships.

Viamund Updates ~ Amazon Guilty as Charged

We got a very helpful email through our website today. Anyone wanting to leave a comment not viewable on the blog, you can contact us HERE. Let's look at this latest email and see what we can figure out about Amazon.....

"I have been following your "Boycott Amazon" campaign. I sent them an email on Thursday night (well, early Friday morning) regarding "the Rake's" book. That evening they had 2 listings for the book, one which had 9 negative reviews. Today the listing with the negative reviews has been made unavailable....... I am trying to find a cached version of the first page, but I thought I would let you know in case you had one and wanted to highlight this effort by Amazon to quash any negative publicity about this so-called "book". Even though I am a Prime Member and spend a significant amount of money on Amazon each year (not any more!), they responded to me with a similar form letter regarding their policies on censorship.

Now we see that while they don't believe in censoring material they offer, they don't have a problem with censoring their reviewers.

None of the comments were offensive (i.e. containing obscene language), they just exposed this book for the trash that it is. I am also planning to write letters to several major newspapers in my area and also try to contact Amazon's investors.

Keep up the good work!"

Wow! Amazon Expose at it's finest! Amazon wouldn't remove a child molesters book, claiming they opposed censorship, but they WILL censor your comments about it. Isn't that interesting? Their refusal to remove it wasn't about the protection of free speech AT ALL! It was about harboring child predators. And they are GUILTY as charged!

Look at the link again. The search results for the book. The only one showing available for purchase is the one published by iUniverse in association with Barnes & Noble. They cancelled their contract with Viamund after the first few copies were printed. Viamund then moved on to BookSurge (owned by Amazon) who published his book then distributed it through Amazon! Now that the heat is on them, and after they have claimed to oppose censorship of any kind, this is their response?

How exactly did they respond to this Boycott against them?? By censoring your reviews!!

While at first glance it may look like a victory. They did remove the book they allowed him to self-publish through BookSurge, afterall. Yet they are STILL selling the other copy. Therefore, to me at least, this looks to be a clear case of Amazon doing the very thing they used to rationalize the distribution of a child predators advocation of child molestation. The Boycott Amazon! campaign continues.

If you've found yourself wondering what's in this book, here's a little sample of his poetry, should we analyze it? Perhaps it speaks for itself.

Who says you're living in the past?
If history repeats itself
it means you're also living in the future.
Cop a feel
for the future,
little boy

and another

Yell, yell, yelling
that persistent voice.
I'm claiming freedom,
No more the cramped, dingy room.
I got my dynamite
and my fly is open.

Now enough of that rubbish, onto the Viamund updates:

Thanks to everyone who has helped by reporting and complaining about Viamund. As you can see he doesn't stop. There is still much work to be done. We will post all updates here.

Read about Amazon's history with NAMBLA North American Man/Boy Love Association HERE you'll be very surprised, disgusted and glad you've chosen to BoycottAmazon!

HT to Jacey

He's a Rake

Viamund the Rake aka Octaevius Altair from Toronto says that "I am "OUT" as a same-gender oriented paedophile/ephebephile (Boylover) & it is this state that enables me to live a fulfilled & contented life. I am a member of the North American Man/Boy Love association." NAMBLA

We know what a pedophile is. We know what a Boylover claims to be. What is a rake?

a man who is unrestrained by convention or morality
a man leading a dissolute life
a man lacking restraint
a man with lowered moral character or standards
a man characterized by self-indulgence
a man who acts with deliberate disregard for other's rights

This Rake claims to be attracted to, and have sexual relations with boys who are 14 years old. Interesting that Canada's Age of Consent was 14. You think he may be fibbing a little? Think he might like 'em 13 too? Or 12? How about 11? When Canada recently passed legislation to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16, the Rake had this to say:

I have always courted/dated and engaged in sexual relations with boys as young as 14 years old and I have every intention of continuing to do so. I will not permit this legislation to affect me and am prepared to defend my position at any time.

He entered the new year with a call for pedo-activism and a pledge for more aggressive measures. He says:

Show no mercy. Let your mind be a fortress and your voice and actions be the means to guarantee only the positive aspects of HUMANITY are permitted to proceed forward through the cycle of time. To our evil enemies : Know that the darkness of superstition that you represent will never be permitted to triumph over the light of reason that we represent. Surrender now.

And I repeat the same to him.

Let us talk about his book. Viamund the Boylove Vampyre Says...: Poetry & Haiku's by Octaevius Altair and what it's about.

"The use of raw, un-tempered, often brutal images of word convey the thoughts of the lonely, socially-isolated individuals who are held primarily in contempt; nonetheless existing on the sexual fringe. To provide vision to those who appreciate the differences that are humanity."

It is the story of an 11 year old boy prostitute/vampire and the man he "posing as father and son while traveling and slaying" was master of. Viamund is the man of course.

Not surprising at all is the fact that Viamund had a very difficult time finding a publisher. CafePress, Lulu.com, PABD, iUniverse all refused him. His British contact agreed with Lulu that the material was illegal. The ACLU refused to take his case stating they cannot MAKE someone print your book if they don't wish to. Picture Postage in Canada refused to produce his postage stamps claiming his image was inappropriate on a stamp. Some of the responses he received were:

- marketing products that may promote indecent relationships between adults and
minors is strictly prohibited
- If you do not agree with the rules outlined in the agreement then we suggest you
find another means to publish your book
- the material is ILLEGAL and a threat to the American public

Not only did places like CafePress delete his merchandise, but PoetryAmerica.com and even online dating sites and places like VampireFreaks banned him. To which he replied:

They BLOCKED my IP address but I have a mutable I.P. that changes of its own accord on a constant basis. I can therefore NEVER be blocked from any site.

So not only is he repulsive, evil and dangerous, he's stupid too. He doesn't take no for an answer. He has no regard for law and order either. He has no respect for others. He is self-absorbed. (Sound familiar?) He will have sex with young boys no matter what the law says. He said so himself. He exhibits anti-social behavior. He is a Rake, after all. He will go into websites, forums and game rooms that don't want him and try to force himself upon them. Here's a timely example.

ACME made a call for bloggers to flag and report his blog. Blogger removed parts of his blog. The very same day he reposted the offending material. And says:

This BLOG was improperly deleted by a staff member at BLOGGER who claimed it violated their Terms of Service. Somebody at BLOGGER has decided to take the law into their own hands - typical behavior of vigilantes -. I am still awaiting your official response BLOGGER to discover which of your staff are violating laws. In the meantime I will repost everything that was deleted on a separate ARCHIVE BLOG.

Violating laws?? Viamund the Rake is complaining about someone violating laws? HUH? Blogger is a free service that everyone is fortunate enough to be able to use. In other words, they have guidelines that they use. Their TOS. But they also don't have to abide by them. It is their service after all. They can close Blogger tomorrow if they wish. They also aren't required to explain themselves to you. Don't abuse it and you won't lose it generally works. It's fairly simple.

Now about that book....You will find several smaller online booksellers who have it listed. But it is not in stock and they will not fill your order. Here are some of the people who have responded to our complaints swiftly and are refusing to sell this book:

• Barnes & Noble
• Target
• Books-A-Million
• TextbookX
• Buy.com

And this is who hasn't: Alibris and Amazon.

Alibris is selling this book through association with Amazon.com who values free speech.

AbsoluteZero values free speech also. However we do know that the First Amendment was not written with the purpose of anything goes. In fact the Supreme Court has made clear that the First Amendment does not extend to OBSCENITY. Amazon is more than aware of the contents of this book. They don't want to get involved. The only way we will ever make a difference is to adopt a zero tolerance attitude towards child predators and those that advocate it.

I naively assumed that once Amazon was made aware of what they were selling they would refuse to be associated with it. That was before I discovered that the book was published by a subsidiary of Amazon - called BookSurge - a self-publishing / publish-on-demand service.

I suppose with Amazon.com it comes down to the almighty dollar. In my opinion Amazon has SOLD OUT. There are book stores in every city in every state. Choosing not to PUBLISH and DISTRIBUTE garbage does not make them guilty of censorship. Burning books would be censorship. There's a huge difference here. I support the book stores listed above for their integrity and sense of responsibility to the community. And while I have been shopping at Amazon for about 10 years now, I will never spend one more penny in that store as long as they are carrying that book that advocates and promotes the abuse of children. Please let Amazon know how you feel and add this to your webspace.

Amazon is still sending out form letters as outraged customers drop like flies. If you haven't yet, please send your thoughts on the book to AMAZON. And while you're at it let their sponsors know that their Post breakfast cereal is being used to advertise a child molester!

This book is written by an admitted pedophile and child molester (Viamund the rake), and contains pictures and writings about an 11 year old boy who has sex is raped by "Viamund" - who is admittedly 37 years old in real life.

This book promotes child sex/rape and pedophilia, and it is written by an admitted child molester.

Amazon.com refuses to remove it from it's web site. The excuse they use? "Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to display certain articles because we believe their message is objectionable."

Written advocacy of child/adult sex is illegal in Canada, Australia and some parts of Europe. Creation, distribution and possession are all federal crimes in these countries. I sure hope Amazon.com doesn't sell this book to any customers in these countries.

Several online book sellers have had this book listed. After being contacted about this book they have all removed it or are refusing to stock the book. These sellers are:

• Target
• Barnes and Noble
• Buy.com
• TextbookX
• Books-A-Million

Why does Amazon refuse to remove this book?

When I emailed Amazon and asked to have my account closed, they responded by saying, "Your loyalty to our company for the past is greatly appreciated, and this loyalty is one of the reasons I am attempting to correct an honest misunderstanding. Although I understand that you requested your account be closed, I sincerely hope that my efforts to correct this misunderstanding have been satisfactory. However, if you still wish to close your account, please visit the following link to submit your request..."

Hmmm, I guess they thought it was a misunderstanding when I told them, "You have refused numerous email requests to remove this book. Your responses disgust me."

And I don't see how they could "misunderstand" me when I wrote, "Not only am I cancelling my membership, but I will also make sure that everyone I know is informed of your inexcusable behavior. So you will be receiving many more requests for cancellations in the near future. I expect a response to this confirming my cancellation.

I won't say thank you, so instead I'll end by saying good riddance."

I made sure that they didn't "misunderstand" me when I had to request my account to be closed a second time. What do you think, is this clear enough? ...

"I will NEVER open another account with you again. I find your policies disgusting and your reasons for them pathetic and vile. I am beginning to wonder if you have a pedophile running this organization. Do you realize that you are the only company IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that I know of that even sells this book?!"

And just who did publish this book anyway? Well, it was BookSurge.

And what types of authors and books are typically published? Well, here's a description..

"the primary driving force of BookSurge is our customers. In every interaction, we strive to exceed expectations, listen and respond with a caring staff, thorough information, relevant products and quality services. As a result, BookSurge has doubled in size and capacity this year, and we continue to innovate the industry with a new vision, unique programs and unparalleled opportunities."

Quality? New Vision? Adult-child sex is quality? Child-sex is illegal.

There are other self publishing companies out there that don't publish this book. Some of them are:

• Lulu
• PABD
• Cafepress
  

I urge everyone to boycott Amazon.com. If you have a membership, please cancel it. This is not an issue of free speech. It's an issue of child predators going mainstream and publishing child sex/rape stories. We need to send an urgent message that this will NOT be tolerated. EVER.

Amazon.com will never see another dollar from me. There are many other choices out there. I suggest using one of the book stores listed here who actually removed the book. Support their admirable choice to stop selling this book by giving them your business.

What Kind of Mother is This?

We all too often learn of adults engaging in illegal activity with minors but sometimes there is a twist that takes it from simply illegal to just plain strange.

Imagine that you are an adult woman with a 38 year old boyfriend, and you are temporarily unable to function sexually due to an operation you just had and you don't want to lose the boyfriend.

Solution: Give him written permission to have sex with your 15 year old daughter, and reward her with material things and a few more privileges.

This is not technically pedophilia, but statutory rape. However he apparently had sex with even younger girls which is. (In Michigan Child Molestation is under 13 while 13 to 17 is Statutory Rape).

First question: Why would any sane mother do this to her daughter or perhaps allow her to have sex with an adult?

Second question: Why would she want a man who would have sex with her daughter?

Third question: Why would any self-respecting man get involved in such a situation?

An adult man having the desire to have sex with a teen-aged girl is perhaps alot closer to normal than desiring a 6 or 7 year old, but to act on that desire shows a lack of maturity, discipline and principle. It's still illegal, and rightly so (more to protect young women - - and young men - - from exploitation than to prevent perversion.)

Amazon: When it Rains, It Pours

What does Boylove (you know, the sexual exploitation of underage boys by pedophiles) have to do with some of your favorite grocery products? Well, evidently more than one would like.

Amazon.com is offering a pedophile book: Viamund the Boylove Vampyre Says...: Poetry & Haiku's (Paperback)by Octaevius Altair, for sale on it's website. And, interestingly it seems that while Amazon is claiming freedom of expression, and their need to provide a voice to different authors of all backgrounds as it's reason for offering the book... the companies in the following Amazon ad just want to get exposure for their products, even if it means doing on a site that is openly promoting pedophilia propaganda.

Yes, that's right folks, these companies are paying Amazon to show their ads, and therefore are directly encouraging Amazon's choice to sell this book.


Thankfully, we don't drink Maxwell House in THIS house, because I buy the coffee around here. And, although I've always liked Post, I'm sure that I can find another brand of cereal for the kids breakfast. Kraft might be a little more difficult to replace, but if they are willing to pay Amazon to run ads on product pages that encourage the sexual exploitation of children- I'm not willing to feed my family their products.

Now, in all fairness, it could be that Amazon isn't really aware of the subject matter of this book filth. After all, Amazon is a huge online company, offering a huge amount of products, and certainly we can not expect them to inspect each and every one of them.

It could be that they aren't aware... but they are. We know that they are aware of the subject and content, because they were contacted about it. Sadly, it seems that they just don't care.

In fact their response to a fellow blogger who contacted them was firmly supportive of the keeping this filth available, From Gawfer

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com.As a retailer, our goal is to provide customers with the broadest selection possible so they can find, discover, and buy any item they might be seeking. That selection includes some items which many people may find objectionable. Therefore, the items offered on our web site represent a wide spectrum of opinions on a variety of topics.Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to display certain articles because we believe their message is objectionable.

There is more to the response, so please head over to read the full thing. I'm sure you will be just as shocked as I was.

Now, in fairness, before I ask you to blindly make prompt decisions about this problem- you need to know just what sort of issue we are dealing with. For this, I'll need you to read a little about this propaganda. Please read the entire post by AZ, as it is important that we hold these companies which would endorse the sexual exploitation of children, in order to line their own pockets; just how we feel about this.

And, until Amazon, Kraft, Post and Maxwell House are willing to stop endorsing this book by selling it, or by supporting the company which is selling it- please take a moment and let them know just where you stand on pedophilia propaganda being openly advertised and sold.
