There's this, I think the interview it references is what I was thinking of.

It was actually takei who was sexually touched at age 13, but he defends it, says its part of gay culture.

In the same interview he also mentioned how he groped men to persuade them into sex.

George Takei is a piece of shit.

I can't find it now, perhaps it was scrubbed from the internet, but he was saying that sex with young boys is basically part of gay culture.

Not related to pedo island.
If he was referring to sexual encounters while he was underage with other underage boys, that's one thing.

But just because some one isn't hetero does not give them a pass for making moves on underage people if they were 18+ themselves.

And I feel like yeah, it was probably the second case and he's just gotten away with it.

Didn't see this before it my post went up, had just had in drafts before being called away for a bit.

If that is what Takei actually said, he's a pedo piece of shit.

Wow...yeah, sounds like Takei was the victim of a pedo and doesn't truly get why what happened to him is wrong, which is why he sees it as 'normal' in the non-hetero community.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised by his blackface comments then either.

Nearly Half of U.S. Murders Now Going Unsolved


Anti-police BLM protests partly to blame.

Published 30 June, 2022
Paul Joseph Watson

Nearly half of murders in the U.S. now go unsolved, with the majority going unsolved in the last seven months of 2020, a phenomenon partly caused by anti-police BLM protests.

The shining achievement of Black Lives Matter may ironically be its role in preventing murdered black people from getting justice.

“A review of FBI statistics shows that the murder clearance rate — the share of cases each year that are solved, meaning police make an arrest or close the case due to other reasons — has fallen to its lowest point in more than half a century,” reports CBS News.

“It’s a 50-50 coin flip,” says Thomas Hargrove, who runs the Murder Accountability Project, which tracks unsolved murders nationwide. “It’s never been this bad. During the last seven months of 2020, most murders went unsolved. That’s never happened before in America.”

The article notes that murders of white people are 50% more likely to be solved than murders of black people, although any suggestion that ‘white privilege’ is to blame can be dismissed entirely.

The piece acknowledges that police are finding it harder to receive tips or get information from witnesses due to black people having bad attitudes towards law enforcement.

“Police are also contending with a breakdown in trust between their officers and the communities they serve, a result of decades of tensions that spilled over during high-profile cases of police misconduct in recent years,” states the article.

There are also fewer police when it comes to patrolling or quickly responding to murders in high crime areas due to the longstanding ‘Ferguson Effect’ – something also created by BLM demonstrators.

“Gee, I wonder what could have caused this breakdown in trust?” asks Chris Menahan.

“Was there some sort of “Movement” in 2020 that came to a head which said police are all evil white racists who are oppressing black people for no reason whatsoever other than the color of their skin?”

“Did police and the FBI decide to take a knee and blame white people for all of society’s ills rather than address our serious “inner city” crime problem?”

Even as violent crime continued to spiral across America, the federal government also wasted resources on tackling the supposed scourge of “white supremacy.

The entire Black Lives Matter movement appears to have achieved little more than dividing America and making the country less safe for black people.

Disgusting Scalie
Does she even understand how fucking racist it sounds to imply only blacks have pimping? Does this whore not understand that just like prostitution is the oldest job, pimping came right after? Literally EVERY CULTURE EVER has had pimps and whores, and literally every culture ever has had both extremely toxic and harmful pimps who dabble in human trafficking and the "wholesome" variety this bitch thinks all pimping is of "I keep my girl safe, she my employee".

Fucking what?

I know there are a lot of bad apples in the Community (to the point where the core part of it split off into a retro-Community, the LGB, as the Kitchen Sink Community is rotten), but I'm pretty sure that the everyday Joe and Jane that are gay, lesbian, or bi (aka not one of the utter freaks that people think of now when LBGTQIAKitchenSink is mentioned) would fucking disagree with that.

Politico, along with Axios and NBC News made a false attribution that Clarence Thomas believed the Covid Vaccines were derived from the cells of aborted fetuses, which was completely untrue.

Fox News said:
Politico issued a correction after critics called out media outlets for erroneously attributing a theory about the COVID vaccine to Justice Clarence Thomas.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court announced that it would not hear a case challenging New York's vaccine mandate. In 2021, a group of anonymous healthcare workers filed a lawsuit against the state claiming that taking the vaccine would violate their religious beliefs.

Thomas, along with Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito, released a dissenting opinion criticizing the decision for ignoring religious exemptions.

Thomas included a description of the healthcare workers’ belief that some COVID vaccines were developed using aborted fetal cells.

And some examples of that excellent reportage...

Fox News said:
Politico falsely attributed the theory to Thomas rather than the healthcare workers, running the headline, "Clarence Thomas suggests Covid vaccines are developed using cells of ‘aborted children.’"

"Clarence Thomas claimed in a dissenting opinion that Covid vaccines are derived from the cells of ‘aborted children,’" Politico wrote in the now-deleted tweet. "No Covid vaccines in the U.S. contain the cells of aborted fetuses."

...

Meanwhile, MSNBC and NBC News insisted that the claim was "discredited," with MSNBC’s Steve Benen adding that Thomas' statement further "tarnishes" the court.

"The Supreme Court’s credibility was already suffering. The more justices publish factual errors, the more it further tarnishes the court’s reputation," Benen wrote in a piece titled, "Clarence Thomas cites discredited claim about Covid vaccines."

Benen called Thomas's quote "needlessly inflammatory" and said, "it’s also not true."

NBC's headline read, "Justice Thomas cites debunked claim that Covid vaccines are made with cells from 'aborted children,'" and even wrote that "Justice Clarence Thomas expressed support Thursday for a debunked claim that all Covid vaccines are made with cells from ‘aborted children,’" before later admitting Thomas was "citing the plaintiffs."

Both Politico and Axios issued retractions and corrections while NBC News just scrubbed the story.
