Government hunts pornographers

Parents urged to do more to protect children
By Lee Davidson

WASHINGTON — Justice Department officials say one aim of pornographers as they flood the Internet is to desensitize children into becoming a new generation of smut junkies.

But officials and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch vowed Wednesday to wage war against it.

"This is a growing problem that we need to attack aggressively," said Hatch, R-Utah. "We cannot sit quietly and hope it will go away."

He held a hearing about federal efforts to combat it — which served as a warning to pornographers that the federal government is now hunting them aggressively, and as a warning to parents to do more to protect their own children.

Showing the breadth of the problem, deputy assistant attorney general John G. Malcolm said, "It has been estimated that 90 percent of children between the ages of 8 and 16 have been exposed to obscene material on the Internet."

He added, "A recent study by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children indicates that approximately 20,000 images of child pornography (depicting children) are posted on the Internet every week."

Hatch added, "Pornographic Web pages now top 250 million and are growing at an unprecedented rate." He added that many are obviously targeted to children, bearing names that are manipulations of such things as Harry Potter or Pokemon.

J. Robert Flores, administrator of the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, explained why the government believes pornographers are flooding the Net and often aiming at children.

"The distribution of obscene material to children is the commercial porn industry's vehicle to create a new generation of pornography junkies," he said.

Hatch said, "The result of all this porn is that there are 11-, 12- or 13-year-old children being treated for pornography addictions."

That was supported by Victor Cline, an emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Utah who has treated sexual deviants for 26 years.

I think Hatch needs to learn the difference between pornography addictions and puberty "oh my god this thing feels good when I rub it!" addictions.

I think a quote of mine is applicable here. In 2002, when the Summer Internext came to the Diplomat for the first time, the community was up in arms that they would have us nasty, dirty pornographers there.

They quoted several people in newspaper articles saying that the industry was anti-family. I was interviewed by 3 local papers, The Sun Sentinel, Miami Herald and the Palm Beach Post.

Here's my quote from one of the articles:

"No one should be upset that the Diplomat is opening its doors to the profitable pornography business, he said.

''We're all nice people,'' he said. ``This isn't anti-family. We all have families we support by doing this, and we are providing a service that a large portion of the public wants.''

The writer changed my words. I didn't say profitable pornograhy business. It is actually our company policy [both Online Technologies and Smut Drs] when talking to the media to say Online Adult Entertainment Industry.

The full article is here: http://www.broward.com/mld/browardherald/3819389.htm

Btw, it's also incorrect that I'm from Palm Beach County. If anyone wants to stalk me, I can be found in Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County. If you're going to stalk me, just make sure you have long blonde hair and big tits.
