Please provide a link to your referenced kidnapped daughter story. In this day and age of Amber alerts and nation wide media coverage, there has to be more to this story than people 'sticking their heads in the sand'.

It's a personal matter, complicated by the fact that the daughter is a 14-year old bipolar oppositional girl who has alleged abused against the mom. Despite CPS' support for the mom, the mom can't get the detectives to do anything to track the daughter down. No links available.

Isn't it also interesting that the same pictures have been posted in other threads here before and nobody felt compelled to call the G-men? Am I the only one who noticed that? This wasn't an isolated incident. But, now and suddenly, we have to bring in the feds...

As to whether or not those pictures qualify as child porn, I guess the feds will have to decide. Maybe one is lurking now and will be nice enough to sign up and let us know (assuming he/she isn't busy taking names for future reservations at Gitmo). But, come on folks, does this really pass the smell test? Like Justice Stewart, I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it and that ain't porn.

That being said, if Hero's version of events is correct, he probably didn't have much of a choice in reporting it. If he was on city time and failed to report potentially criminal acts involving a minor, wouldn't he be just as guilty as the Republican leadership in not reporting Foley's potential crimes? Funny, how one Republican doing the right thing shows how the House leadership did the wrong thing...

And one last thought, Hero is, apparently, a prosecutor. His career is built on putting men in cages. Is it reasonable to expect him to react a different way? These guys routinely deal with the dregs of society and that has to have an effect on his view of his fellow man. Again, isn't it reasonable for him to assume the worst?

These pictures would be from a case that's about 15 years old by now. If this was a recent picture, I sure as hell would want him to report it! But the "context" of the picture, as I understand it, is it was posted by the mom because it shows her son who was abducted many many year ago and she was trying to revive interest in his case.

What I found is that Hero assumes the worst about SOME people (liberals, progressives, mentally retarded, women) and assumes the best about OTHERS (Marines, conservatives etc). He doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "even-handed".


BTW Hero, I noticed you got awfully quiet when I brought up the DOJ. You don't like the shoe being on the other foot, do you? Not to worry- altho my point was true, my contacts with the DOJ are in the distant past. You can breathe easy now. But like any bully, you back down as soon as confronted.

So anyway, in general, this is what I find interesting.

Alleged republican pedophilia is in the news.

In less than a week Zero blows PN into the FBI on a possible 'pedophilia' technicality. Not for earlier postings that are borderline hate speech. Not for postings that may or may not call for violence against the government. But for an out of context photo trying to get action on an unsolved real-life case.

How are we to read this?

For one, opportunism. Look Boss! Look what I did! Pant pant pant slobber lick.

For another, egoism. See everyone here ! I'M important ! Look what I know! Look what I can do to any one of you ! If you can't LIKE me then you will FEAR me !

Cowardice. What else was I to do ?? Whine, cringe. I had no options !

sigh ...

If your talking about television, call the FCC. Its not a matter of standards double or otherwise...the FCC handles broadcast television. If someone gets unreported income from their child porn business, then the IRS will be involved. Once it moves beyond the scope of the FCC (or IRS), then the FBI would get involved, but that call is after the one to the FCC.

If that's true, why didn't you say something? If you look at the original thread, you'll notice that I express dismay that people were not already speaking out against it. Its dismay I still feel. As for me, I saw, I reported, I made my fuss, I did my part. If someone else wants to drop the ball, thats their business. But I don't want to be the one that lets this kind of thing pass by.

I've found, despite the bluster I myself am often guilty of, that doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing tend to be non-partisan choices. Democrats are good people, some commit crimes, some make bad choices. Republicans are also good people, some commit crimes, some make bad choices. That said, I don't think I've ever convicted a Republican of theft or a Democrat of failing to file City income tax...but since I don't ask party affiliation before trial, I can't be sure.

Or I was off in court helping resolve a Domestic Violence case that was set for trial this morning when the victim I subpoena'd didn't show. I had her arrested and brought before the Judge where she admitted under oath that her written statement to the police was a lie. I then had her arrested for falsification and she's in jail till she gets her bail hearing tomorrow.

She cried...can't say I didn't smile a little, because some days I just love my job. She deserved it, either she lied to the police, who she called out there, or she's lying now because she and her sister have made up. I don't care which.

Here's my take from listening to the enlightened discussion on this topic:
Liberals can't defend America...part six: "Hating Republicans is more important then doing the right thing and really, when you get down to it, there is no right thing because child porn, terrorism, and reality TV are all ok by us. In other words, only right is really wrong." I bet Danny Glover and Hugo Chavez will be glad to come to your press conferance for that one.

No, I get that. Just trying to give a brother the benefit of the doubt while also trying to prove to Hero that the House leadership reacted to Foley in a way that contradicted his actions in a similar circumstance. The whole goose & the gander thing, ya' know? I thought that was somewhat pertinent...

Oh, it's true. I didn't speak out because I didn't consider it porn. I, furthermore, did not know that any photo in that vein might even be considered illegal. Unsettling and distasteful, yeah, but not illegal. As others have already mentioned, there is far worse on broadcast television quite often.

Put your fantasies aside and take a look at what's happening in the pictures. I see fully clothed children bound and gagged, and visibly terrified. One boy doesn't have a shirt and there seems to be evidence of a star branded on his shoulder. They're disturbing images, heartbreaking, but any sex is in the eyes of the beholder. PN tells us about a child sex ring and shows us these pictures. If he were talking about a simple kidnapping and showed these pictures, they would arouse nothing but sympathy. But because PN says the children in the pictures were sexually abused, that somehow changes the pictures? No.

It disturbs me that so many folks believe that pictures that show the unambiguous suffering of children should be censored--makes me wonder if they'd really rather not know about it. I know that's not particularly fair, but the invisibility of child abuse is one of its most insidious characteristics. PN is not sexualizing these children, he's politicizing them.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

It saddens me that certain member's of this site would try to defend PN simply because it was Hero who raised the red flag. IMHO, posting that picture somehow vindicates the picture taker, their sickness is being spread for all to see. PN's posts should stand on merit alone, why the need to 'shock and awe' with highly questionable pictures? I guess if the substance is lacking, flashing lights and pictures are the way to go.

And the not so subtle hint that a certain member 'enjoyed' the pic is irresponsible as well, IMHO.

Hero is a lawyer. If he thinks the picture is illegal I will have to bow to his greater understanding of the applicable laws.

Now go back to defending PN in this thread while castigating Foley in the other.

You can find something offensive, but that doesn't classify it as kiddie porn..

Oh come now, you knew he was a sociopath, and if you didn't... you should have.

I've twice deliberately baited wouldbehero into showing his true colors - often shared by others in law enforcement and government, which is one part of why things are so messed up.

So either you're way too damn oblivious, or way too damn forgiving, and either one is a curse.

Treat him like the troll he is.

And I am too durned busy out here to play tit for tat with him either, there's stuff to be done, a little "house" cleaning, if you would, instead of running around trying to negotiate with flat-earther apologists and trolls trying to distract from the issue at hand... and had you enough sense, you would NOT allow exactly what has happened, once again an important discussion has been sidetracked and sandbagged by these trolls.

Stop falling for that shit, you've got more sense, USE it, willya.

So child porn is ok with you if the pictures are limited in number, and you understand the context, and you agree with the person posting it.

You claim that I was "compelled" by politics to take action. In the very first post on this thread I cite the Federal law that provides the basis for my legal duty to report child porn. I also cite the potential liability for this site. In other words I did what I HAD to do. Perhaps you would prefer me to ignor my legal duties because of my political leanings...somehow I think that would be wrong.

Do you now trust Zero to NOT do that to you? To NOT find some pretext to get you into legal trouble just because he doesn't agree with you? Do you now feel as free to express your opinions? Or to share whatever information you may have?


So for you child porn is ok. But our political differences are the real evil. Thats why you liberals are so dangerous. A civil discussion is more dangerous to you then pictures of the violent abuse of children. I think you should run on that platform in 2008 and see how far it gets you.

If PN was a Republican, then you'd be upset, not that he posted child porn, but that he's a Republican. I think you allow your Republican Rage to overshadow your reason. Knock it off.

This is the entire legal section, unedited:
Quote:

For the purposes of this chapter, the term—
(1) “minor” means any person under the age of eighteen years;
(2)
(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), “sexually explicit conduct” means actual or simulated—
(i) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(ii) bestiality;
(iii) masturbation;
(iv) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(v) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person;
(B) For purposes of subsection 8(B) of this section, “sexually explicit conduct” means—
(i) graphic sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex, or lascivious simulated sexual intercourse where the genitals, breast, or pubic area of any person is exhibited;
(ii) graphic or lascivious simulated;
(I) bestiality;
(II) masturbation; or
(III) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(iii) graphic or simulated lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person;
(3) “producing” means producing, directing, manufacturing, issuing, publishing, or advertising;
(4) “organization” means a person other than an individual;
(5) “visual depiction” includes undeveloped film and videotape, and data stored on computer disk or by electronic means which is capable of conversion into a visual image;
(6) “computer” has the meaning given that term in section 1030 of this title;
(7) “custody or control” includes temporary supervision over or responsibility for a minor whether legally or illegally obtained;
(8) “child pornography” means any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where—
(A) the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(B) such visual depiction is a digital image, computer image, or computer-generated image that is, or is indistinguishable from, that of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or
(C) such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
(9) “identifiable minor”—
(A) means a person—
(i)
(I) who was a minor at the time the visual depiction was created, adapted, or modified; or
(II) whose image as a minor was used in creating, adapting, or modifying the visual depiction; and
(ii) who is recognizable as an actual person by the person’s face, likeness, or other distinguishing characteristic, such as a unique birthmark or other recognizable feature; and
(B) shall not be construed to require proof of the actual identity of the identifiable minor.
(10) “graphic”, when used with respect to a depiction of sexually explicit conduct, means that a viewer can observe any part of the genitals or pubic area of any depicted person or animal during any part of the time that the sexually explicit conduct is being depicted; and
(11) the term “indistinguishable” used with respect to a depiction, means virtually indistinguishable, in that the depiction is such that an ordinary person viewing the depiction would conclude that the depiction is of an actual minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This definition does not apply to depictions that are drawings, cartoons, sculptures, or paintings depicting minors or adults.



The definition requires that to be child porn it must be "graphic or lascivious". (Either one will suffice.) I didn't see a deifnition for "lascivious" but "graphic" means "that a viewer can observe any part of the genitals or pubic area". Since by definition it must be graphic or lascivious, by the definition of graphic, it's not child porn.

(B) For purposes of subsection 8(B) (the kiddie porn section) “sexually explicit conduct” means —
(ii) graphic or lascivious simulated;
(III) sadistic or masochistic abuse

But, assuming the FBI takes an interest in reposting a woman's website who's trying to get action on her child, that's for the lawyers to argue over now. People have gotten into trouble taking pictures of their kids playing the the bathtub. Just goes to show how crazy it can be when over-zealous lawyers with an ax to grind get into the picture.

Hero, please attack pedophile pimp Congressman Barney Frank, Jewish candidate for US Senate. His pimp partner alleged murdered himself by gunshot to the head during the Washington Times' expose of 80 newspaper articles of Bush Sr's White House pedophiles.

FYI, here's how our sodomites in Congress use the internet. Mark Foley is instant sodomizing a former page in Knoxville, Tennessee, home of Skull & Boner ambassador/mayor Victor "Victoria" Ashe, Bush Jr's lifetime sodomite boytoy.

If you click the link, they discuss Congressman Zack Wamp (R-TN), who's a convicted drug dealer.

It's a good thing Noreen Gosch posted those photos of her kidnapped son on her website, otherwise the other 2 kidnapped boys would never have been identified, since the copsters and FBI REFUSE to investigate. My website got at least one tip for Noreen, from a former resident of her town.

Maybe Hero did a good thing, and the FBI might actually investigate THIS CASE, and not investigate FireFlyFans.net?

And remember, the photos in question display a White House Correspondent, unless proven otherwise by DNA test. Since FBI, US attorneys general, state prosecutors, local cops and "Gannon/Guckert" refuse this DNA test, lack of rebuttal argument proves these photos are in fact Jeff Gannon, aka Johnny Gosch.

You admire Hero for drawing attention and trying to get as many people exposed as possible to Child pornography? Weird.

Fact is whether it is or it ain't putting a thread up which only serves to draw attention to something that should be dealt with between the administration of this site and whatever relevent authorities is kind of sick.

He didn't inform the FBI or anyone else, all he did is post this thread to bluster his own self importance.

Using child porn, or the accusation of same to massage ones own ego, now that disgusts me.

Operative word is ADMIT. He admitted it. He didn't lie and he didn't cover it up. No one expects sainthood. But is it too freakin much to ask that those in power take responsibility for their own stupidity? I think not.

Not true. I get the gist with the descriptions of the pics earlier in this thread. Why even post pics that come close to being child porn? Children tied up in vulnerable poses etc..? There is no place on a Sci-Fi board for that nonsense. That some of you have become myopic, most likely the result of your one-sided political circle jerk threads, is really sad. Just think... I have to point this out. And whats with you retards always posting that another's opinion is irrelevant just because it is opposite of your own? So go take the block of cheese out of your ass and feed it to your mother. Well, it's her fault your an asshole....Well, it's true........

Do you even know how to read? This was addressed MULTIPLE times. TWO congressmen were censured - a democrate (Studds) and a republican (Crane).

The male page Studds had an affair with in 1973 was of the age of consent, at that time 17. No laws were broken. Crane, the republican had sex with an underage female page. He was charged and plead guilty.

Maybe you need to get you head out of your butt and smell some fresh air.

Any sane definition of pornography has to include an assessment of the lascivious intent behind it. Otherwise, we end up defining what is appropriate by some viewer's willingness to sexualize the images in question. The very same reasoning bans Shakespeare and condemns women who have been raped for wearing "provocative" clothing. Next stop, Burqaville.

Anyone here believe a picture of a fully clothed grown man bound and gagged to be pornographic? Then why pictures of teenagers so bound? What is it about helplessness in children that makes an image sexual?

What about a woman bound and gagged? Howabout a "pretty" woman bound and gagged?

And just to be clear: I got no problem if Haken wants to remove images from his website that he finds too disturbing, but "disturbing" doesn't equal "porn."

It looks to me like there are a couple of different things going on here.

The first is what does US law consider pornography? Well, that's where the information Hero posted can be valuable. Whether or not I agree with the law, the law of the land is the law of the land. Part of advanced democracy is acquainting ourselves with the statutes so that a) we don't unwittingly violate them b) we identify that which we think is less smart and a potential candidate for revision.

A second part is whether or not it should be reported to the FBI. For myself, personally, I wouldn't have. While I can see how pictures that PN has posted could be construed as pornography under the letter of the law I don't think that PN took the photos or is distributing them as pornography. In other words, I see them as historic artifacts that are disturbing but not, in my opinion, pornographic. Although, in this instance, I am sympathetic to Hero's position. He is an employee of the court and has to adhere to an additional set of protocols that may seem at cross purposes to common sense. Acting on a strict literal interpretation of what is or isn't pornography, given his set of additional constraints, is in his best career interests.

To kind of sum up, I'm happy that Hero actually cited something accurately. This is a step in the right direction, in my opinion. It's a far cry from using Drudge or the latest GOP talking points as a source. So, kudos Hero. Remember, the truth will set you free. I'm sad that the FBI got dragged into all this. They have better ways to spend their time.

Although, as has been noted by others, I wish that the Republican House leadership had shown a similar level of diligance with respect to Representative Foley. If they had, he would've been gone many many years ago.

I guess my eyes are worse than I thought. There is no way I could see anything unless I took the time to focus on it. I'm impressed you can see stuff simply going past it. You'd probably be wicked in a raquet sport.


Well, there's a big difference between identifying something and actually doing anything about it . I am proud of my ability to recognize and make sense of visual information at a rapid pace. However, I am sorely lacking when it comes to actually responding physically to that visual information.

In other words, I suck at tennis.

The Foley scandal, resignation and "criminal investigation by FBI" coincidentally was "leaked" (after how many years?) to take the media attention off the new Gosch/Gannon kidnappings photos, which lead straight to the Bush Family White House... So Foley gets to play the fall guy, without fear of indictment or arrest, just like his fellow rump-ranger Karl Rove.

Now it's reported worldwide that House speaker Hastert is a homosexual pedophile, which explains why he had no problem with Foley doing the same. Excellent blackmail to control the votes in Congress to benefit the Bush Gang.
Quote:


"There is also much focus on the relationship between House Speaker Dennis Hastert and his chief of staff, 56-year old Scott Palmer. Hastert and Palmer, Hastert's longtime unmarried adviser, live together in a DC townhouse along with Hastert's Deputy Chief of Staff, Mike Stokke, while Hastert's wife Jean lives in Yorkville, Illinois and stays at a hotel when she visits Washington. WMR's State Department sources have also reported that the visits of Hastert and other congressional leaders and staff members to certain Southeast Asian nations and the Northern Marianas should come under the scrutiny of the House Ethics Committee, now officially investigating "Pagegate." The Northern Marianas became infamous in the scandals involving Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff because of the presence in the US slave labor territory of Asian children being used as prostitutes. Conveniently, Foley co-chaired the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, which would have had authority to investigate charges of child prostitution in the Northern Marianas. Our State Department sources report that it is no secret that a number of U.S. Foreign Service officers working out of the U.S. embassies in Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, and Manila have been involved with underage nationals of the host countries where they are assigned. In fact, many have rotated their assignments between countries that look sideways at child prostitution and sex between adults and minors. In fact, John Mark Karr, as previously reported by WMR, was quickly whisked out of Bangkok after his arrest on pedophilia charges. The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, working with the CIA and Department of Homeland Security, arranged for Karr's quick departure from Bangkok on a business class flight to the United States, where all charges, including those stemming from Karr's 'admission' that he killed JonBenet Ramsey and child porn charges, were later dropped. WMR has learned that Karr may have been aware of the identities of top U.S. officials in the child sex trade in Thailand and that he was sprung from Thai authorities to prevent him from testifying in a Thai courtroom. Hastert visited Vietnam, along with Palmer, in April of this year and spent three days in the country. Hastert, along with Illinois GOP Rep. Ray LaHood, canceled a visit to Thailand and Vietnam in January 2006. Hastert was also in Thailand in January 2002."

Hero, I do have a history with FBI, after successfully working with White House, US Justice Dept, FBI, local police and prosecutors to arrest and convict a homosexual drug-dealing CIA hitman pedophile rapist with a false passport, for kidnapping and murder:
www.piratenews.org/how-to-catch-a-govt-hitman.html

I also have a history of spanking the FBI, forcing its local office to remove a portrait of J. Edgar Hoover, the homosexual transvestite pervert who alleged "there's no such thing as the Italian Mafia", who assassinated Dr Martin Luther King Jr (according to front page banner headline in Knoxville News Sentinel during US House committee herings on JFK/MLK murders in 1978).
http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/05/9718.php

Quote:


"A notarized statement by Daniel Ellsberg, released to The News-Sentinel Saturday night by James Earl Ray's attorney, Mark Lane, states flatly that an aide to UN Ambassador Andrew Young told Ellsberg, 'We know there was a conspiracy (to kill Dr. Martin Luther King) and we know who did it.' Ellsberg's affidavit claims he was told there was definitely FBI involvement in the murder."
-John Moulton, Knoxville News-Sentinel, Ellsberg ties FBI to King shooting, Nov 12, 1978, page 1 banner headline

"It seems to me like Justice was stood on its head. In Boston, we had a group of FBI agents who decided to throw the rules out the window. They let a lying witness send innocent men to death row and life in prison. They had a group of mob informants committing murders with impunity. They tipped of killers so they could flee before being arrested. They interfered with local investigations of drug dealing and arms smuggling. We had a bunch of criminals running around killing people under virtual FBI protection. The FBI let innocent men die in prison. We cannot have the FBI winking and looking the other way when their informants go on a crime spree. As the people's representatives, we have an obligation to find out why it happened, and to make sure it never happens again."
—Chairman Dan Burton, Senate Committee on Government Reform, US Congress, February 14, 2002


Our new chief of Knoxville Police Dept is retired FBI, who has never been a cop before. He oversaw replacing KPD and Knoxville City Court with Robocops from AUSTRALIA, in contracts that suck over $800,000/year from city govt "revenue".

The purpose of FBI is to coverup crimes, not solve crimes. But then, Hero already knows that, since that's also Here's job in Gangsta Govt.

Hey Soupcatcher

"To kind of sum up, I'm happy that Hero actually cited something accurately." I don't know. I did post the definition portion of the US statute in full/ It didn't say anything about child 'in distress'. What it did say was to be child porn it must be graphic or lascivious. It defined 'graphic' as showing genitals or the pubic area, and left 'lascivious' undefined. I would have found a less self-aggrandizing and more profession posting helpful. As it was, the posting threw a lot of heat, but no light.

I suck at tennis too. I just blame my eyes.
