Deliver Us From Evil is an unforgettable film. For a bit more of the systemic insight I feel like Spotlight did a decent job at scratching that itch.

The movie Spotlight fucked me up. I knew what it was about, and thought I knew the history. But then they post the story and they’re all nervous thinking their paper is going to get shut down-but they don’t. Then the calls start coming in and they’re like “oh shit here we go-“ but all the calls are from other victims saying that it happened to them too… And no one cared. I can never stop thinking about that ending.

I think Leaving Neverland was a great example of pacing and structuring a story to show how children and even whole families can be slowly groomed using money, fame, guilt, naivety etc until anyone can start questioning themselves and acting against their own best interests.

Like a ton of people on Reddit….”he was found not guilty!”. Like, so fucking what? Just because something couldn’t be proved beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. This is especially true in child sexual abuse cases, where’s it’s notoriously difficult to get convictions. I feel so bad for these men, whom people are saying lied for money. It’s very courageous of them to speak their truth in the face of that shit. We need a #MeToo movement more specifically centered on victims of childhood sexual abuse. Too many people still don’t believe children, and too many sexual abusers are still able to use that to get away with it. “He’s/she’s a kid- they make stuff up a lot.”

I mentioned Leaving Neverland in an askreddit thread last week. First of all, anyone who thinks a very powerful and wealthy celebrity in his mid forties (and before) actually saught out young boys to share his bed with "bEaUcauSE He dIDn'T hAvE A ChILDhooD!" need to pull thier head out of thier ass. I don't give a fuck if he was found not guilty in court, as the rich elite often get away with thier crimes.
Some other redditor was downvoting me and arguing on MJ's behalf, and when I looked at her post history, it was literally all posts on MJ related subreddits and arguing his innocence. Like a literal pro Michael shill account basically. Wild stuff.
FlutterGoddess t1_j917dz4 wrote
People defending MJ cuz he is just an abused kid himself cuz he didn’t have a childhood. Well MJ didn’t have a problem negotiating a bad ass record deal or befriending Paul McCartney then buying the rights to the Beatles music portfolio. Or how about the 1st time you cashed someone out for being too friendly with their child, don’t you think you’d never be alone again without a parent present?
Razakel t1_j91dfl1 wrote
People's eyes were blinded because MJ was one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
I think he was a paedophile, in the very literal sense - he loved children, and certainly behaved inappropriately around them. But I'm not convinced he raped any.

I defend Michael because if you put the work in and do the research. you find that none of it makes sense. Also, the people that actually knew michael, family, friends, and business associates, pretty much everyone....not one person thinks he was guilty? How does that happen ?

That’s absolutely untrue. Many people who were close with him believe he did it. His own mother knew back in the early 80s. His sister Latoya came out and accused him in the 90s and was vilified for it. The court documents listing what was found in Neverland is enough evidence to prove he had sexual interest in young people and had many many grooming materials at hand as well as stained children’s underwear and bloodstained sheets. Face facts

The psychology behind people going to such lengths to defend a dead celebrity they’ve never met for an issue that has exactly zero impact on their own life is very interesting. Unless it’s their own issues compelling them to do so. Which I have a feeling is often a contributing factor with stuff related to child sexual abuse. It just really opens your eyes when so many people will chose to believe and defend a dead (but still with a very powerful estate) celebrity over two men who say they were victims of this celebrity. Two men who appear to still be suffering a great deal as a result of their trauma. As a stranger to all involved in the case, what is the harm in believing them? There isn’t any. So why do so many people work so hard at not believing them? Because there is a great deal of harm in sending the message that victims of sexual abuse shouldn’t tell their story.
416warlok t1_j98fy4r wrote
And obviously documentary films, as a rule, show various biases and there have been many, many docs that play pretty hard and loose with the facts of any given subject. That being said, I don't know how anyone can sit through the testimony of the two men in Leaving Neverland, and think they are lying. Like it's so hard to watch them tearfully recount every excruciating detail of their rapes, and like wow people think they are acting? Like to what end? To achieve some sort of fame or noteriety for being rape vicitms? Pretty sick if you ask me. MJ was 100% a pedophile who used his fame, money, and power to groom and rape multiple children. Fuck him.

He was offered anonymity and a middleman in order to convey his “undeniable proof” that Corey Haim was raped but declined to do so
In August 2020, after his movie ‘The Rape Of 2 Coreys’ released, Feldman made an attempt to contact O’Neill for the same anonymity deal but apparently offered information that contradicted/lied about his documentary and so it was never followed through on.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Epstein's client list is still hidden. This isn't anything new and Cory Feldman is not the most egregious example of protecting pedophiles who happen to be powerful. Two mega donors to the Democrat party from Atlanta were caught molesting and having sex with their adopted children and Reddit censored the story under the guise of "hate speech" (because the pedophiles were gay married to each other). This happens all of the time.

To be honest I think there’s a huge difference between that and what Corey Feldman is doing
Feldman isn’t protecting anyone or fearing for his life, he’s outright lying that his friend (who just so happens to be dead and cannot defend himself) was brutally raped by a “Hollywood exec” and has changed his story multiple times to the point where the only person who could have possibly raped Haim or Feldman was a relative of Haims.
He’s bullshitting to make money.

Did you read the articles? Two men. Married to each other. Large donors to the Democrat Party. Adopted children to rape and sell them to other men.
YaaBlewIt t1_j90dljg wrote
None of the three articles you linked mention the Democratic Party or donations at all. Just that they were active in the local LGBTQ community. Even so, how is their party affiliation or political ideology or sexual orientation of any relevance to their fucking evil, heinous criminal actions? i.e. raping their kids and offering them to other pedophiles to rape. I think anyone claiming those things are in any way related requires immense ignorance and/or hate. Would you mention it if a rapist was a large donor to the Republican or Green Party? Or if they were straight married?

"gay" because it would be misleading to imply that a man and woman raped and sold their children to a pack of pedophiles.

GeoffreyArnold t1_j929ome wrote
But the flight logs and the client list are different things. What they are hiding is the client list. Epstein and Maxwell were charged with essentially pimping underage girls, but who did they pimp them out to? That list of clients of powerful people is a secret to this day. We know there was one member of the British Royal Family but where are the rest of the names?
The flight logs just says who was on his jet. That doesn't mean they had sex with any of the minors. What we want to see is the client list.
ammshrimpus t1_j92gdma wrote

Right, u/hillbilly-sasquatch. That’s why you replied a bunch of times as if it was your job, and clearly have a little band of accounts to follow you to do the same. That’s an awful lot of effort and it’s obvious. 😂😂😂😂
It’s as if an alert went off and you were required to be in the thread. You wrote as if you knew Feldman personally. First names from the beginning, the rest of us know him as two names. Do you have a rational explanation for why you came to a thread and started talking about Corey Feldman like someone you’ve known for years?
If you aren’t getting paid, you should try getting a life, because this is a really weird way to spend a Friday night.
You might actually watch the documentary you’re commenting on the thread for (I bet you have, any time it gets posted, astro turfers come running. Brock taught Steve bannon all about it). Brock Pierce was a Hollywood sugar baby darling for Bob Villard - a Hollywood pedo who got convicted but still sells pics he took of young boys on eBay (but you knew that). Brock was part of the pedo network “digital entertainment network” and went on to start IGE, which was an early game currency seller. Now he’s in crypto, because scammers gotta keep scamming. He fled to US to Spain for a while to evade charges just like Roman Polanski.
I know all that because of the litigation he faced when IGE was handed to Steve Bannon by Goldman Sachs after a law suit in the 2000’s. Really, I was just a gamer gawking at drama back then, but amazingly, in the years since, Brock Pierce comes up over and over again. He founded tether with his buddy from the gaming currency days (Jonathan Yantis), now he pretends he isn’t affiliated (because, obviously, tether is operating like FTX et al, it was never truly 1:1).
But, by all means. Keep pretending this is all bullshit and that deriding your old pal Corey changes any of it. Were you in the collins-rector mansion shaking it for old men with Brock back in the day? Are you also a victim of old men who likes to abuse boys? Because that’s the company Pierce keeps - old men into abusing boys, and boys to abuse.
Be brave. Come forward.

It's a bit more involved than that. You can't label people guilty by association, it's a fundamental principle of free countries.
However, in this particular case this admin - Aimee Channelor - used to be a minor politician in the UK, was a candidate in an election, and hired their father as campaign manager even while he was waiting to be tried for raping a 10 year old. So at the very least this Aimee Channelor made a massive error of judgement when hiring their campaign manager. For this they were booted out of the political party.
They they joined a different UK party - but got kicked out again when it came to light that their partner was publishing paedophile erotica.
Then Reddit decided that this Aimee was just the right person to be an admin.

Is it possible that similar to the don’t-rat-on-your-colleagues culture inside America’s police, you will be blackballed if you snitch inside Hollywood?
Maybe the good apples stay quiet because snitching on the bad apples could possibly destroy your career?

Yeah, people in the industry have connections. When I first started going to Berklee one of the things that was hammered into us was that we NEVER talk bad about another artist. You "just don't do that." Then the deeper I got into some of the social circles, and brushed against some overlapping ones, I learned there's a multitude of reasons, and the biggest one is association because perception is reality.

Church, Hollywood, Sports, Army, Boys/Girls only Schools... its as if forcing absolute authority without merit causes human to turn in to vile excuse for one. Authority should never be given, it should be earned. We should teach our kids to never be obedient, but respectful, never listen to orders, but follow own sense of right and wrong.

The expression open secret came into use in the 1820s
and is derived from the title of a Spanish play written by Calderón in
1642, El Secreto a Voces, which translates as “The Noisy Secret.”
man I said that I was a open secret years ago with no knowledge of the play

The thing about this documentary is it’s somewhat unwieldy and hard to follow. It veers into a confusing lull about the dot com bubble and too many important figures have almost identical sounding names.
It’s probably for these reasons that this documentary isn’t better-known, but many use it’s relative lack of success as evidence of some sort of Hollywood blackball job

No one is being punished for it. Epstein island, sex rings, harvey weinstein.
Bring back publicly demonstration of their punishment and see if it keeps happening.
The type of people exposed by this should be auto-sentenced to death.

Yes, after decades of accusations and a lot of people didn't believe it.
His charges? forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object.
His charges and received sentence isn't bad enough to sent a message to others.

Sadly you see the same thing happening in sports. Paedophiles becoming coaches, and so they get access too hundreds of young people.
A while ago I saw a documentary where sports organisations protected paedophiles, because they didn't want the sport to be harmed.. This was top level organisations training for the Olympics etc.

The wealthy abuse just as many people as the poor. It’s not about political beliefs, nor Baptist vs Catholic, it’s across the board. Both sides are lying to us, stealing from us, brainwashing us. So when I hear that only conservatives or only liberals commit all the crimes, I know that person is closed minded to any alternate opinions.

You’re right, Jennette McCurdy was at the capitol I saw her in the videos too.
All 87 of Weinstein’s accusers were there under her rule. Vincent Cirrincione’s 10 bipoc accusers were there, every coworker of Louis C.K. was in attendance.
Don’t even get me started with all of the racist Bill Cosby accuser’s… those fascists claim they don’t even remember being at the capitol. And R. Kelly? Talk about a great man, I think he was framed by Voldemort himself.

You may think that you can get away with anything, but on the day of judgement, no one can help you. Life may seem like a smooth ride, but it is full of ups and downs, and eventually it will all come crashing down. When that happens, who will you turn to for help? As the Bible says in Psalm 121:2, "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." When all else fails, we must turn to God for help, for He is the only one who can truly provide us with the help and strength we need.

You’re being downvoted by people that are sensationalizing the concept, I see what you’re saying brotha. The outlandish conspiracies are more akin to creative comedy or a big imagination and they give the whole topic a very bad rap.
Time and time again some of these unconventional ideas are proven to be unequivocally true, and that’s a fact. It’s fascinating to think about what we all might find out be true one day! Fun thought exercise at least, and there’s absolutely nothing that’s inherently wrong with that. Questioning the status quo is effectively the basis of science as an entire field!

This is directed by Amy Berg, who also made the excellent Deliver Us From Evil about a predatory pedophile Catholic priest.
As good as these films are, however, I can't help but gripe that they are more concerned with being good, dramatic movies than with really articulating the very methodical processes by which these predators set up and operate a conveyor belt of abuse that can run for years and years.
The Surviving R. Kelly series is a valuable addition on the subject and, I think, a longer, deeper look at how routines of outrageous abuse can be constructed, even without the advantages of a pre-existing bureaucratic, organizational structures like a movie studio or a church.
