Elijah Wood: 'Hollywood in the grip of child abuse scandal similar to Jimmy Savile'
The Telegraph ^ | 05-22-2016 | Henry Bodkin

Posted on 05/22/2016 7:29:58 AM PDT by NRx

Hollywood is in the grip a child sexual abuse scandal similar to that of Jimmy Savile in Britain, Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood has claimed.

The 35-year-old former child actor said paedophiles had been protected by powerful figures in the movie business and that abuse was probably still taking place.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Wood said he had been protected from abuse as he was growing up, but that other child actors had been regularly “preyed upon” at parties by industry figures...

...Wood said the abuse was allowed to continue because victims “can’t speak as loudly as people in power.”

“That’s the tragedy of attempting to reveal what is happening to innocent people,” he said.

“They can be squashed but their lives have been irreparably damaged.”

Allegations that senior Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have gathered pace in recent years.

Anne Henry, co-founder of Bizparents, a group set up to help child actors, said Hollywood is currently sheltering around 100 active abusers and said a “tsunami” of claims was beginning.

I think that there has been for the last 75 years or so layer of sexual corruption involving Hollywood, government and corporate leaders that many in the media and government have been straining to keep hidden. It has involved congressmen,senators, judges and sports coaches business men and film producers and when the various stories come out...as soon as connections start to be made with higher order players, the stories go dark. There was an FBI agent that attempted to get the story out and his story is on you tube some place. A BBC documentary was also made but never aired(though it can be found).

This layer of corruption is pervasive and overlapping with numerous official(benign in appearance) and unofficial connections via networking. There are many connections with occult groups and those involved with witchcraft. I shudder with horror at the thought of the numbers of children caught up in this “system” who have been abused sexually and even murdered.

Are you joking? Did you forget your < /s > tab? Are you that reliant on the MSM to spoonfeed you something that instead they are covering up:

Yeah, I’ve heard the rumors from directors that have worked with him. She’s not wrong. He and Toby got passed around, pushed through some supporting parts, got passed around some more, then Toby got cider house and DiCaprio got Titanic.

I personally met Brian singer, the guy who wrote and produced the xmen series and the guy hit on me, lol. That and several stories opened my eyes to how perverted Hollywood really is.

“I have been listening to the Eagles a lot lately and there’s a song from album called The King of Hollywood. They nail it.”

Yep, from “The Long Run” LP. Every time I read one of these stories, that song comes to mind. That song is spot on about the Hollywood “culture”.

“Have to correct: I have been listening to the Eagles a lot lately and there’s a song from The Long Run album called The King of Hollywood. They nail it.”

Sorry, should have read the entire thread before I responded to you because I missed your correction.

I asked her where she heard that, and she told me “everyone knows”

Trust me, we have no Hollywood connections, so most likely a tabloid or the hair dresser

So I guess people do know about it, but as always I’m the last to know anything

It was like when I told my Mom that I was shocked that Rock Hudson was gay, my Mom said, “Oh, I knew that for years.”

yeah, I had no idea Rock Hudson was gay until it came out in the news to be honest.

I also thought the Liberace thing was all an act, until after he died, I would have bet $10 he was just flamboyant

Charles Nelson Riley I figured for sure, and for some reason I thought Benny Hill was gay and he over-compensated, but I guess not.

I have bad gay-dar it seems.

I figured Liberace was, but he tried to keep it quiet, and he was good friends with Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

Well, Feldman gets little enough work out of Hollywood as it is, I can’t blame him for not wanting his income to completely dry up. Still, unless someone has the courage to name them, this is just going to continue happening.

I remember how so many hollyweirdoes circled the wagons for Roman Polanski a few years ago. He drugged and raped a fourteen year old girl but they said it was ok because it was a consensual thing.

Wait a sec... do you mean "Rape-Rape" or just Rape? Cuz Whoopie sez they ain't the same:

I think anyone in power wants to “own” others in power. To get them in compromising situations and then own them for life, re blackmail or favors. Last century it was enough to go after the homosexuals. Or maybe even grab powerful actors or pols in photos that that LOOKED compromising.

Can you imagine, a big hetero male star in the 1940s say, and a party in a private home, and once they are all loosened up with drink, one young guy is told to act distraught and the actor takes a human interest and it’s been planned out to get him while he maybe puts an arm around him for comfort or some such, maybe this takes place in a woman’s bedroom but she has excused herself when the photo is suddenly snapped. The photo never needs to get out - but if the star has seen it, he is your slave for life.

Well, now gay is good. But pedophilia is (hopefully forever) still seen as evil - Whoopie not withstanding. Epstein knew what he was doing. Collect beautiful underaged girls, have parties with the very famous, have the young nubile teens go crazy for Mr. X, lead him to a room (filled with hidden cameras).... Now Epstein owns Mr. X. Frankly, he still owns them, even from his jail cell. Where are the videos of Clinton, Dershowitz, the Royal family?
They are all out there somewhere...

...and that tens of millions of overfed, lobotomized walking dead will continue to squander their every spare minute fixated on their phosphorescent screens giving those monsters the attention that makes them rich, and convinced there’s nothing left to live for but the cheap momentary sensory excitements provided to them through that screen.

My gaydar was pretty good until this year. Prince and Bowie were straight all along.

HOLY CRAP. I listened to Long Run a thousand times when I was seventeen and meaning of the words didn’t dawn on me until just now. I was mesmerized by the sounds. Thanks for opening my eyes. I lost the album a long time ago but I’m gonna go back and listen to the album and read the lyrics.

You know its just disgusting that they all know this pedo crap about Hollywood and all they could do was WRITE SONGS ABOUT IT. They are about as bad as the silk scarf gay mafia monkeys.

I read Ian McKellen rips pages out of the Bible when staying in hotels.
Details: Is it true that when you stay at hotels you tear out the Bible page that condemns homosexuality?

Ian McKellen: I do, absolutely. I’m not proudly defacing the book, but it’s a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible. And I’m not really the first: I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages — Leviticus 18:22 — that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom.

I thought Bowie was gay?

I thought I remember hearing about him and Jagger buggering each other?

I got hooked on the Eagles again by watching their documentry on Netflix..

I didn’t listen to the lyrics either because I was too busy hearing the 3 electric guitars.. I also recently learned that was Glen Fry’s voice w/ Henley backing him.

One of many great songs by the Eagles.

I think your description is more like computer games, these days, than like movies.
