Some European Renaissance Christian works of art are now regarded as pornographic. Remember those Cherubs, the paintings of nude little children with angel's wings? Having a glossy book on Renaissance art, which features photos of the paintings of Michelangelo, can now cause you to end up as a registered sex offender

IMHO, this is a very sketchy claim at best.

Sketchy? The Cherubs have a more human appearance than the yellow cartoon children in the Simpsons. If someone can be prosecuted for a nude fake picture of a yellow Bart Simpson, do you think that you cannot be prosecuted for Cherubs?

Members of the oathkeepers have been getting e-mails via Tor servers that also contain kiddie porn & the mail has been hacked so that it appears to come from a friend. Folks are thinking that the Feds are behind this crap & I wouldn’t put it past them .

I think you are correct. To compare a cherub from a religious or myhological themed artwork created by one of the world’s most famous artists in all of human history is a far cry from what this guy most likely possesed. The key is they keep saying “fake”, meaning some perv with time on his hands coddled together some rather nasty scenes with the simpson kids doing god knows what to each other.
As far as the gov planting images on your computer to gin up a charge and ruin your life? I’m sure they could if they wanted to. I don’t loose sleep over it.

The one they talk about on MSNBC is Virginia.

Cuncinelli, the GOP candidate for gov, is currently AG, and he changed the VA State Seal to cover up an exposed breast on the seal.
