Sex Scandals: Who's Really to Blame?
American Thinker.com ^ | November 17, 2017 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 11/17/2017 8:08:56 AM PST by Kaslin

After months of an incessant drumbeat of Trump-Russia collusion, big media is taking a break, having a new bone to chew, specifically the Judge Roy Moore story. Another of a string of famous men and past sex scandals ranging from boorish behavior to harassment and rape.

In past years, this type of behavior only warranted media coverage if a Republican was involved. Democrats were typically given a pass, the story downplayed, excuses made, the accusers challenged, and the story buried.

With Harvey Weinstein, this pattern changed. Harvey was a loyal Democrat, donating large sums of money to the party, holding fundraisers, supporting all the right causes from abortion to global warming.

The dominos continue to fall as we learn of many other sexual predators in Hollywood and the media. Not only Hollywood types, but members of Congress. As recently reported, $15 million was paid out to Congressional accusers after sexual harassment allegations. The same Congress that can’t figure out how to cut taxes can rely on taxpayers to fund hush money for their boorish behavior.

The common denominator for Weinstein, Richard Dreyfus, George Takei, Kevin Spacey, Mark Halperin, and Louis CK is that all are Democrats. Maybe not in party registration, but in philosophy and their anti-Trump, anti-conservative views, supporting all of the proper liberal causes.

Roy Moore is the exception, although in fairness to my premise, he was a Democrat at the time of his alleged indiscretions. If he had remained a Democrat, I wonder if the Washington Post would have had any interest in the story, much less broken it wide open.

But why did the dam break with Weinstein? Why has news of the latest Democrat behaving badly supplanted CNN’s breathless coverage of the latest supposed evidence of Trump and Putin scheming to hack the 2016 election?

The Dem narrative only changed with Weinstein because he isn’t a politician, much less a politician involved in a critical race. If Moore were a Dem, they’d be covering for him with far more unanimity than conservatives are defending Moore.

I can see the tide turning in Hollywood from instead of the actresses being told “sleep with me and I’ll give you the part” to the actresses tell producers “give me the part or I’ll tell everyone you offered it in exchange for sex”

How did Harvey Weinstein actually get to be a top story?

I mean he IS a huge democrat donor. This is usually buried deep.

While there is no doubt that real sexual assaults have occurred from people like Harvey Weinstein, I fear this nation is descending into a form of demonic Salem witch trials.

I agree that something demonic is going on. We are descending into a war of all against all. Civil culture is becoming impossible.

This is called cultural marxism, ideological subversion, demoralization. Decades of the left’s tools of division: racism, sexism etc. are coming to a head. This is by design, although most of the useful idiots on the left don’t know why they’re doing it.

Soviet subversion on auto-pilot.

It’s another wave of the revolutionary socialist movement. First BLM, then antifa, then women and the pussy hats, now every white man is a rapist.

If they think they are taking my guns when there are so many movements that would kill me IF they could get away with it... dream on.

"The Democrats are marginalizing men in general as part of clearing the way for Kamala Harris to be their POTUS candidate in 2020."

That's preposterous, and therefore probably true. The idea of "toxic masculinity" - implicating all men as somehow tainted - is being taught on college campuses. In the Seattle area, virtually every major race was won by women in last week's election; in some cases, both candidates were women.

Perhaps the most covetanous and disgusting charade is that our Senate and Congress have been paying off the licentious behavior of our elected to their accusers with tax payer $$$$.

Is there no accounting of the million plus $$$s spent on those bums?

The media is to blame. They love to sanctimoniously wag their figures at famous people for doing things everybody does. They think nothing of ruining someone’s career for some party prank. But then it happens to one of their own. And then, they start to think. “Have we gone too far.” The answer is of course YES! But lets fire Al Franken first, then start thinking.

They also knew who ponied up bigtime for Clinton's lewinsky sex mess defense:

Herewith, for your edification, are the Certified Democrat Degenerates......the scum that vilify and destroy America's Judeo-Christian ethics and values in movies promoted as being "diverse, politically correct, and socially relevant."

HOLLYWOOD'S CERTIFIED DEMOCRAT DEGENERATES
FINACED BILL CLINTON'S LEWINSKY SEX MESS

According to FEC Info, an Internet Web site (www.tray.com) that tracks federal political contributions, 176 individual donors actually contributed $10,000 or more to the lewinsky-era Clinton Legal Expense Trust fund through Dec 1999. Another 21 donors gave $10,000 in the first six months of 2000.

Thanks to Hollyood's generosity, a total of more than $2.2 million was raised in six months, which was notably more than was collected in funding during the previous four years of his presidency—combined.

Hollywood producers and stars made up the bulk of the most generous givers. They included:

<><> Universal Studios tycoon Lew Wasserman and his wife, Edith, who have given $60,000;

<><>DreamWorks trio Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, $20,000 each;

<><> producer Ron Burkle and his wife, Janet, $40,000;

<><> producers Peg and Bud Yorkin, $30,000;

<><> TV producer Norman Lear, $20,000.

Entertainment celebrities and executives giving $10,000 included:

<><> singers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand;

<><> actors Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks;

<><> director Ron Howard; producer Gail Zappa;

<><>Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson.

When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein.

Billionaire Harvey Weinstein raised $1,422,683 for federal candidates and political entities between 1990-2016. That’s small potatoes for his 27 years of rank Democratism, sucking up to feminism and upholding so-called abortion rights as he rampaged and assaulted young women. Adds up to about $5300 a year. Something tells me there are a lot of cash payments off-the-record being paid. (hat tip outpostinmass2)

Crunching the numbers as outpost did does give us a sharper look at the political money game as played by the conniving Clintons.

Harvey also gave a bundle to the nefarious tax-exempt Clinton Foundation and perhaps to offshoots of the Clintons tax-free entities.

Did Harvey's donations to the C/F go to "do-good projects"? Or did they make a circuitous route? Maybe landing back into the Clintons eternal political scams?

========================================

<><> How did the Hollyood elite list payments to Clinton's sex defense fund on their tax returns?

<><>How did the "DreamWorks" trio, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, list their 60,000 dollars to Clinton's sex defense fund?

<><>How did BET list its contribution to Clinton on its corporate statements?

<><> Did Harvey's company list these payments as "business expenses?"

The biggie is the tax element.

<><> Did donors deduct it as a “business expense”,

<><> was it included in assets, payments listed on organization balance sheets as a "liability?"

<><> Did Clinton document it as "income"?

<><> Were the donors given a tax-free certificate from the Clinton Foundation?

I heard it was possibly related to something he did in support of Israel that triggered a release of information in the NY Times. Supporting Israel is a big no no in the democrat party.

Put all the pieces of the puzzle together and you begin to see the outline of what is actually happening here.

1) For decades feminists have decried the patriarchal society. Men used to instinctively seek to protect women, holding them in high esteem and generally treating them like ladies. Under satanic influence, women turned this sentiment into something evil, that men (particularly emblematic of men of the 1950’s) really had their boots on the back of women’s necks and kept them oppressed.

2) There has been a war on football, in part as a result of it being viewed as a manly sport.

3) The leftists on campus have decried “toxic masculinity”.

4) Every TV commercial, program, and sitcom show men as an inferior dolt while a woman is always powerful and wise, able to physically do everything and anything a man can do.

There is a war on men. It is dividing our culture in half and nothing good is going to come of it.

” I fear this nation is descending into a form of demonic Salem witch trials.”

Good observation, it’s similar to that. This is another mass hysteria based on lies. Like cops murdering people because they are black, like the climate “crisis”, like women only being paid half of a man.
Its a political goal that has harnessed the ignorant.

ALL THE EX-PRESIDENT'S SCANDALS
Nurse backs up Clinton rape charge
Attended Broaddrick's wounds after alleged assault in Arkansas

June 26, 2003

[a few excerpts from article...]

Kelsey recalls Broaddrick saying the meeting with Clinton began with small talk, and "she was a little surprised he was by himself."

"She said he was showing her locations outside the window there in Little Rock, and then, all of a sudden, he just kind of grabbed her and started kissing her," remembers Kelsey.

"He overtook her and pushed her to the bed, and from that point on it was just a rape."

Kelsey says Broaddrick explained how her lip became swollen: "He bit her lip to try to keep her from struggling with him.

Was. After Hillary lost he quit donating to the DNC and the various Clinton Foundations. He instantly became the 'sacrificial lamb (or more accurately, wolf)'
