I'm not in any way doubting that child pornography exists, that it is perverse and disgusting and infinitely harmful to the children involved, nor that it should be dealt with by public hanging.

However, it makes me sad that the government, of late, has lied enough times that when something like this comes out, part of me wonders: is it true? I mean, after all, what better way to demonize someone and have the public spitting on them and throwing vegetables on their way to the gallows than to accuse them of this?

I'm not questioning this story, per se, just saying how sad it is that the government lies enough that I even have to entertain that nagging question.

Think about it: what if you refused to turn in your firearms and Homeland Security raided your home and conveniently "found" child pornography? What better way to ensure nobody would question anything that happened to you after that point?

Anyway, yeah, if true, hang 'em high. I guess I'm just being tin foily. Tyranny has that effect on me.

I agree and sadly I thought the same when I was reading the article. The rabbit hole has become bottomless under this regime.

It will all come out on judgement day.

I was thinking along similar lines recently. They could railroad someone just for criticizing the government. With the technology available today, I am betting that they could remotely download child porn to your hard drive. The LEOs who discovered it could be completely in the dark about its origin.

Like you, I am not questioning this particular case, but I am entertaining the possibility of such set-ups, especially for people who have gone to the WH website to sign one of the many “petitions” we have heard so much about lately. Scary times we live in.
