NY Times outs Pornhub. Time to pass Sen. Oroho’s anti-trafficking bill?
/Human trafficking is modern day slavery… and yet there are legislators in Trenton and their staffs who don’t seem to believe it. One Democrat staffer even objected to legislation designed to effectively combat it, as wanting to “take away my porn”.
That legislation is Senator Steve Oroho’s Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act. That staffer, a Bergen County Democrat and active campaigner for party grandees up and down the ticket.
And despite the Democrats’ refusal to own up to the problem, the evidence supporting Senator Oroho’s legislation just keeps on growing. On Friday, the New York Times reported:
“Facebook removed 12.4 million images related to child exploitation in a three-month period this year. Twitter closed 264,000 accounts in six months last year for engaging in sexual exploitation of children.”With the help of groups like the Center for Garden State Families, and activists like Rev. Mandy Leverett and Rev. Greg Quinlan, Senator Oroho has been waging an often lonely battle against the corporate entities that profit from modern slavery. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has compiled a record of content related to child sexual exploitation reported to it each year. In 2015, it received reports of 6.5 million videos or other files. In 2017, that number climbed to 20.6 million. In 2019, it multiplied to 69.2 million. That’s a whole lot of sexual exploitation. Way too much for the Democrats to continue to ignore.
“child sexual exploitation reported to it each year. In 2015, it received reports of 6.5 million videos or other files. In 2017, that number climbed to 20.6 million. In 2019, it multiplied to 69.2 million.”
Instead of taking action to combat modern slavery and the sexual exploitation of children, what the Democrats do mirrors what porn conglomerates do themselves – they change the subject by virtue signaling their “goodness”. Take United States Senator Cory Booker as an example. Instead of pressing his fellow Democrats to tackle modern slavery in all its forms, he is virtue signaling by introducing a commission to examine systemic racism and reparations for historic slavery.
Why stop at 1865? Why not address the systemic slavery and sexual exploitation that is occurring today? Why not create a way to help the victims of this modern slavery – call it “reparations” or what you like? Why not? Maybe because modern slavery is a BIG business that generates enormous capital and is interconnected with a great many other corporate enterprises? The New York Times reported
“Pornhub prides itself on being the cheery, winking face of naughty, the website that buys a billboard in Times Square and provides snow plows to clear Boston streets
It donates to organizations fighting for racial equality and offers steamy content free to get people through Covid-19 shutdowns.
That supposedly ‘wholesome Pornhub’ attracts 3.5 billion visits a month, more than Netflix, Yahoo or Amazon. Pornhub rakes in money from almost three billion ad impressions a day. One ranking lists Pornhub as the 10th-most-visited website in the world.”
Like so many other “woke” corporations, Pornhub has learned the value of virtue-signaling. Yes, you can do most anything – harvest human organs, even – as long as you genuflect in the right direction, bend a knee for the proper cause, mouth the appropriate language, and donate when it is requested. You too will receive the benediction of “goodness” – the appellation of “one of the good guys”. You are paying the modern equivalent of "indulgences".
The added benefit, of course, is when someone questions your corporate operations that makes them a hater. Especially in the realm of sexuality. Just look at what Senator Teresa Ruiz called those who questioned the idea that the state should train children in the joys of anal sex. Ruiz engaged in a bit of dog-whistling and accused them of “hate”. And when Senator Mike Doherty spoke up in their defense, she censored him and ordered staff to cut off his microphone. Perhaps Ruiz forgot that Doherty – a former artillery officer – has a voice trained to be heard over howitzers?
“Ass” is ubiquitous in Trenton. “Ass” is an excuse, a refuge, and a reason of the highest purpose. It is an article of faith, constitutes a kind of religion, and might even be referred to as “the Golden Ass” of New Jersey politics. Whenever a discussion in Trenton turns to the serious systemic failings of the political class – to property taxes or child hunger or foreclosure and homelessness – some woke legislator will point away and say “Ass” and that makes it all better. All problems disappear in the glow of some new and great leap ahead down the never-ending road of Assness. Congratulations all around amid the comfort that – so long as you have “Ass” – what can be the problem?
Perhaps Senator Ruiz views the state’s sexualization of children as a kind of job-training program? What with her fellow Democrats blocking the Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act and their support of S-3030/A-4848 – along with a government-induced economic collapse – New Jersey is set to become a human trafficking/ sex trafficking hub. Pornhub stands to benefit greatly!
What is Pornhub? The New York Times points out details that would shock all but the most hardened Democrat legislators and their staffs:
“Its site is infested with rape videos. It monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cam videos of women showering, racist and misogynist content, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags.** A search for 'girls under18' (no space) or '14yo' leads in each case to more than 100,000 videos. Most aren’t of children being assaulted, but too many are.”
How does Pornhub monetize the rape of children? Again, from the New York Times:
After a 15-year-old girl went missing in Florida, her mother found her on Pornhub — in 58 sex videos. Sexual assaults on a 14-year-old California girl were posted on Pornhub and were reported to the authorities not by the company but by a classmate who saw the videos. In each case, offenders were arrested for the assaults, but Pornhub escaped responsibility for sharing the videos and profiting from them.”
A 23-year-old university student says that “Pornhub became my trafficker.” She was trafficked when she was 9 years-old and is now studying to be an attorney. She told the New York Times: “I’m still getting sold… I may never be able to get away from this. I may be 40 with eight kids, and people are still masturbating to my photos.”
Rest assured, that if the Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act ever makes it to Senator Ruiz’ committee (she has so far refused to even schedule a hearing), she will undoubtedly dog-whistle once again, call it “hate”, label it the work of “haters”, and then defend the corporate interests who oppose it because of their generous support of “Ass” or some other irrefutable virtue. Trenton is no longer rational and is entirely corrupt, operating along the lines of a parochial neighborhood parish, forgiving the worst excesses of organized crime so long as the criminals fix the church roof.
Still, Democrats might wish to consider what many of their constituents will make of them supporting legislation to mandate the state’s training of children in anal sex, while refusing to address the sexual exploitation of children by companies they allow to operate and who host videos with titles like these (courtesy of New York Times researchers): “Runaway Girl Gets Ultimatum, Anal or the Streets”, “Junior High School Girl After Class”, “Beautiful High School Girl Is Tricked by Classmates and Taken to the Top of a Building Where She Is Insulted and Raped.” The New York Times reports of numerous videos “documenting sex with teenage girls as they weep, protest and cry out in pain.”
And here's another question for Democrat legislators: Will they stand with Pornhub for supporting their position on the Black Lives Matter organization?
The New York Times Reports:
“Pornhub is owned by Mindgeek, a private pornography conglomerate with more than 100 websites, production companies and brands. Its sites include Redtube, Youporn, XTube, SpankWire, ExtremeTube, Men.com, My Dirty Hobby, Thumbzilla, PornMD, Brazzers and GayTube. There are other major players in porn outside the Mindgeek umbrella, most notably XHamster (we don't know what the hell this is referring to, but it doesn't sound promising) and XVideos, but Mindgeek is a porn titan. If it operated in another industry, the Justice Department could be discussing an antitrust case against it.
Pornhub and Mindgeek also stand out because of their influence. One study this year by a digital marketing company concluded that Pornhub was the technology company with the third greatest-impact on society in the 21st century, after Facebook and Google but ahead of Microsoft, Apple and Amazon.”
Child activists like Laila Mickelwait note that Mindgeek has an extensive lobbying and political operation that in 2018 sued to stop age verification documentation for porn sites, which is a feature of Senator Steve Oroho’s Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act. Mickelwait said the reason for Mindgeek’s lobbying effort was “so that pedophiles can have an easier time raping kids on tape.” Mickelwait is the Founder of the #Traffickinghub movement and Director of Abolition, Exodus Cry.
“The violence, cruelty, and degradation of porn are expressions of a society that has lost the capacity for empathy.”
