US Media Giants Caught Skewing The Polls For Hillary

A few days ago the solidly 'liberal' mainstream media (and enough British news organisations to make us worry that our country is following along the road to dystopia) were crowing that the American presidential election was all over bar the shouting and Hillary Clinton could order new curtains for The White House. As evidence of their claims they cited an ABC / Washington Post opinion poll which gave 'Crooked Hillary' a 12 point lead. Well it seems Hillary is not the only crook in the election process, her supporters in the media are all as bent as a boxing day turd, if this and other big leads claimed for the Democrat are anything to go by. just yesterday, after coming under forensic scrutiny, the next round of polling for ABC / WaPo suggested Clinton's lead had collapsed in the space of less than a week to six points. This near impossible turn round attracted even more in depth analysis of the information gathering method used by this polling company (whose polls for other organisations show very different results) and whaddaya know? Today as the latest version of this poll shows Clinton's lead has crumbled further to just 2 points, which is within the margin of error.

Amusingly for those of us on the civilised side of The Atlantic, these new results do not reflect the latest FBI bombshell which may impact the Clinton vote as it raises the trustworthiness issue again for the Democrats campaign. Polling was concluded on October 27th. Also the poll data is distorted by an 8-point sampling advantage for Democrats

Having a qualification in statistics (not degree level at the time but probably higher now, in this era of multiple choice questions)I sat down with our Boggart Blog / Daily Stirrer colleague Xavier, who has a MSc in Engineering and a BSc in Mathematics, and we did a bit of anlaysis of our own. But first, let's look at what the pollsters say about it:

METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Oct. 24-27, 2016, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,148 likely voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 37-29-29 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

So what happened? For months, since the UK General Election in 2015 in fact, we have been arguing that what mainstream media publish are not unbiased polls but goal-seeking reports. Research has shown that with very little tweaking of the way questions are phrased and how 'undecideds are handled polls can be 'weighted' to produce a result in line with whatever result is desired by the commissioning organisation. The easiest way to do this is by simply distorting the make - up of the sample pool.

Another trick used widely by organisations running polls on this presidential election also came to our attention during the UK election of 2015, the technique of restating the question about voting intention but excluding minor parties. In Britain when voters who initially said they intended to vote for anti - establishment libertarian party UKIP were given a straight choice, Conservative or Labour, it was anticipated most would go Conservative. In fact UKIP's polling at around 10 to 15 percent was largely due to disillusioned working class Labour voters deserting 'the people's party because they felt it had become elitists, a party of bureaucrats, academics and professionals and was out of touch with working class concerns. The fact that while polls showed the parties neck and neck, the Conservatives won the popular vote by seven per cent was attributed largely to this polling error. In the USA, the minor party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, polling jointly at around ten per cent pose a similar problem for polling firms. When voters are offered a four way choice Clinton's rapidly diminishing lead drops to within the margin of error. Take out the wildcards and the lead widens.

All this shows is that rather than Johnson taking votes from Trump and the Republicans while Stein takes somewhat less votes from Clinton and the Democrats, in fact both are taking votes from Hillary Clinton. We also found while studying the data that there is some truth in the claims that Stein is doing a lot better than published polls show because she is picking up the votes of Bernie Sanders supporters disgusted at the way the Democrat National Committee colluded with the Clinton campaign to steal the nomination from Sanders.

WikiLeaks have covered this and even published a handy guide 37-page poll-rigging guide on how to "include ethnic 'oversamples' as required" to manufacture the desired results.

With today's latest ABC / Washington Post poll, the real "smoking gun" of how polls are manipulated to manipulate votes is revealed as the pollsters admit that the collapse of the apparent Clinton lead is "not mainly about people shifting in their voting intention" but about how their sample pool was constructed.

"Changes in the poll’s latest four nights (due to a public outcry from people in online news sites who understand something of how polls work) compared with the previous four are not mainly about people shifting in their candidate preference, but about changes in who’s intending to vote." Those saying they were not likely to vote were being asked who they would vote for if they HAD to vote. Thus a (relatively) large number of Blacks and Hispanics who said they did not plan to vote and were unlikely to change their minds, were nudged to declare a preference for the Democrat candidate.

So that's one you manufacture incredible results.




So why would allegedly respectable organisations like ABC / Wapo claim that the 10-point swing (in less than a week) was driven by changes in "who's intending to vote," but their own data shows just a 2-point swing in people who said they were "certain to vote" on 23 October, when the poll reflected a 12-point Hillary lead, and 27 October when the lead had collapsed to just 2 points. Are we really expected to believe that a 2-point swing in voter intentions somehow translated to a 10-point swing in the poll result? Something tells us it had a little more to do with excluding ethnic 'oversamples' after being caught cheating for the benefit of their favoured candidate."

So, now that ABC / Wapo have effectively declared their own poll utterly useless, the question is what were their motivations for skewing their polling data? Consider these points:

• Trump is simply experiencing a huge surge in momentum...seems odd to have this kind of surge on minimal news (remember the poll was taken prior to the recent FBI disclosures).
• ABC / Wapo pollsters got a slap on the wrist from the Hillary campaign for getting a bit overzealous on their manufactured 12-point "lead" which could have resulted in lower voter turnout for Hillary as supporters decided their vote was not needed.
• >ABC / Wapo reviewed early voting stats and realized their polls were in no way reflective of reality and decided they'd rather not lose ALL credibility (though may be too late for that).

So does this mean Trump has a better chance of winning than mainstream media are willing to admit? You may say that, we of course could not possibly comment.

Latest Clinton Email Shock Not From Wikileaks or DC Leaks But The FBI

The latest release of the Clinton (Podesta) emails from Wikileaks shows yet more incontrovertible evidence of unlawful activity by the Democratic Party presidential candidate or by her associates acting on behalf of her campaign or The Clinton Foundation with her knowledge and approval.

Lock Her Up carnival float (Source: www.thefederalistpapers.com

The most shocking revelations from the latest batch has been overshadowed by news of the FBI decision to reopen the investigation into the case of the  notorious private email server Hillary and her staff used to avoid public scrutiny of activities while she was Secretary of State, that constituted at the very least conflicts of interest and in some cases such as the one reported below, of flagrant law breaking.

WikiLeaks SHOCKER: Federal Election Law BROKEN. CONFIRMED!

The law is clear on this issue.

There is no grey area. Hillary’s Campaign cannot spin this. This will force her to stand trial.

Under no circumstances is it legal for a Campaign to collude with a SuperPac, on any level, under any circumstances.

Priorities USA is the largest Democrat SuperPac in existence. They are, as some would say, “the largest Democrat gorilla in the PAC jungle.”

A key player in this story is a person named Avie Glazer. Glazer is one of the top donors to a fund called the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF.) Donors can contribute mountains of cash to HVF. Some have called it a slush fund, as large sums of cash are often distributed to the Democrat National Committee and various campaigns.

Take a look at this graphic:

source

Again, campaigns are not allowed to collude with SuperPacs like Priorities USA.

Enter WikiLeaks.

The following “reminder” email reveals that the writer, named Latham, advised the Campaign Chairman that Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) was to meet with Priorities USA SuperPAC (Priorities) along with Avi Glazer, also known as Avram Glazer and the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF.)

A meeting of this nature is illegal. HRC cannot meet with a SuperPAC.

The real bombshell of the day however was the FBI's notification to congress that it is reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server may well cause the Democratic presidential candidate to lose the election, her reputation and her freedom. As to the condition of her appendix, we'll just have to guess, since no one knows the state of her deteriorating health.
And then we have FBI director James Comey, who may well be on his way to losing his office, his seat and his reputation. (I have no information on the status of his appendix.)
And how bizarrely ironic is it that Comey -- who lost considerable credibility a couple of months ago for building an iron-clad case against Clinton only to let her off the hook -- is now reopening her case based not on Russian espionage or Julian Assange's WikiLeaks, but on Anthony Weiner's electronic sex life?
This will not bring honor and glory to J. Edgar Hoover's venerable crime-fighting organization. Comey's announcement, by the way, follows hot on the heels of the revelation that Clinton pal and Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe channeled near $500,000 into the failed state senate campaign of Jill McCabe, who is the wife of FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who helped oversee the agency's investigation into Clinton's private email server. And let it be known that Hillary Clinton helped raise $1 million for McAuliffe's PAC.
Did any of these connections have anything to do with Clinton's getting off scot free from a criminal indictment? Nah.
But wait, could it be that Donald Trump's accusation that the system is rigged is correct after all?

Hillary Holds 4 Minute Press Conference: Demands "Full And Complete Facts" From FBI

Hillary Clinton's initial response to the FBI reopening of their investigation into her email security scandal was given in a brief, 3 minute 47 second address to the press. Playing the arrogant elitist to the very end, Hillary attacked the FBI, said that she hopes that whatever information the Bureau has will be shared with the American people and that the FBIU will 'reveal all the facts' and added that she is confident that no charges will be brought against her by the FBI, while taking the opportunity to ask people to go out and vote for her.

At the brief press event Hillary took three questions which some have mockingly said were drafted and/or preapproved by Clinton campaign direction of communications Jennifer Palmier.
"We are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetimes," Clinton said during the brief press conference in Des Moines, Iowa. "Voting is already underway in our country, so the American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately."

Mrs Clinton seems to have conveniently forgotten that the secret server scandal would not have been half as damaging had she not gone to ridiculous lengths to avoid releasing any facts regarding the overlap between her duties as Secretary of State and fundraising for The Clinton Foundation.

Hillary revealed that the FBI had not contacted her before or since Comey sent his letter to lawmakers Friday afternoon, informing them that the investigation was to be reopened.
"So we don't know the facts, which is why we are calling on the FBI to release all the information that it has," she said. "Even Director Comey noted that this new information may not be significant, so let's get it out."

What we think may be significant is that when questioned under oath on emails relating to government business that had been held on her private server, and later deleted on instructions from Clinton even though they were the subject of a court order (fortunately the deleted mails were recoverable), she said all emails relating to government business had been handed over to security agencies. If the emails found on Tony Weiner's electronic devices prove to relate to government affairs, clearly Hillary has lied under influence, as tracking shows they were sent via her secret server to the husband of a prominent staffer in order to avoid having then logged on a secured government network.

Comey's letter said that the FBI was reviewing pertinent emails that it found in an unrelated investigation, but did not reveal much more than that. Republicans and the GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump quickly pounced on the news. 

Clinton was asked about a New York Times report that said the FBI had found the new emails in its separate investigation into Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal.
“We’ve heard these rumors,” she said “We don’t know what to believe. And I'm sure there will be even more rumors. That’s why it’s incumbent on the FBI to tell us what they're talking about, Jeff. Your guess is as good as mine and I don't think that’s not good enough.”

Hillary's statement was similar to what Tim Kaine said earlier: it's "very, very troubling" that the FBI is releasing information about a new probe into emails that may relate to Hillary Clinton just 11 days before the election. The Democratic vice presidential nominee is commenting on the development in an interview with Vice News.  Kaine says the FBI director needs to provide more details on the situation. He suggests it's troubling that members of the press are finding out information before campaign officials. Kaine's comments in turn echo the a statement made by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, and thus by Hillary.

Russia Has Called the War Party's Bluff, Now Washinton Looks Spineless And Hillary Clinton Sounds Insane

From the Clinton power and influence for sale racketeers, with enthusiastic backing of the corporate/military/media complex in the USA to the British establishment and its corporate media mouthpieces, the European Unions unelected bureaucrat leaders and 'we'll-say-anything-if-the-money-is-right academics, the Anglo-American, self-appointed “leaders of the free world” are racking up demonization of Russia and “Putinism” to pure incandescence in their quest for a profit generating war with Russia, which these idiots believe will not only achieve a massive depopulation while generating vast profits from selling us poor taxpayers Cruise Missiles as a million dollars a bang, but will secure global dominance for the US globalist corporate cartel


Don't be taken in by this fear and panic generating exercise, global war is not going to break out after the November 8 US presidential election. The carefully constructed layers of outrage and loathing are a bluff. Let me show you an example of how war propaganda is being used to dupe the gullible into supporting the status quo from Information Clearing House.

The current issue of The Economist magazine – supposedly the most influential news and current affairs magazine published in Britain, though the extent to which this is really the case is open to doubt – carries on its cover a picture of a demonic looking Putin that goes beyond anything I have ever seen.

This picture is neither funny (such as pictures of Hitler in the British media during the Second World War famously were) nor factual (as pictures of Soviet leaders during the Cold War were). It is instead hideous and grotesque, showing a monster from a bad horror film.

That this image is profoundly shocking and dehumanising should not need saying. As such it fulfils the classic function of war propaganda, which is to dehumanise the enemy to make his killing acceptable. Certainly the publication of such an image cannot be explained in any other way.

What is however most shocking about The Economist’s cover is that in Britain it has provoked so few complaints or objections.

It should go without saying that any such depiction of the leader of any other country or nationality would in Britain today provoke a storm, with many people rightly complaining that the image was dehumanising and racist. However if the image is one of the leader of Russia nothing of the sort happens.

I recently wrote a piece for The Duran in which I spoke of how racist stereotyping of Russians in Britain and in the West is the one form of racist stereotyping which remains not only permissible but actually fashionable.

Indeed the cover of this week's Economist provides grisly confirmation of this, the image is not particularly shocking and is similar to a picture demonizing former British Labour Party Prime Minister Tony Blair used by a Conservative newspaper during one of Blair's election campaigns. The differences are Putin is a foreign leader, not a British politician engaged in fighting an election, partisan politics should not be part of a build up to war, and The Economist presents itself as an august academic journal rather than a downmarket tabloid.

But for those who are almost persuaded that only a warmogering hawk like Hillary Clinton can save us from Russian aggression, let's look at how things in the middle east, starting with with the Russian naval task force in Syria, led by the officially designated “heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser” Admiral Kuznetsov, which will be stationed in the eastern Mediterranean at least until February 2017, supporting operations against all strands of Salafi-jihadism.

The Admiral Kuznetsov is not an aircraft carrier was the war hawks in Britain have described it, though fully equipped with anti-ship airborne defense systems (short range aircraft), artillery and anti-submarine warfare systems – and able to defend itself against a vast array of threats, unlike NATO vessels, it is heading for the coast of Syria to boost Russian forces ability to defend against a US first strike and subesquent attacks on territory held by the Assad government.


Predictably, NATO is spinning the alarmist narrative that “all the Russian Northern Fleet”, along with the Baltic Fleet, is on the way to the Mediterranean. These are lies; only part of the Northern Fleet is heading for Syria, and with the USA installing launch bases for missiles with nuclear strike capability in Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania the Baltic Fleet ships are not going anywhere and Russia is beefing up its missile defence capability in its Baltic enclave Kaliningrad.

As for Syria, when the capabilities of this Russian flotilla are matched with the S-300/S-400 missile systems already deployed in Syria, Russia, in response to Hillary Clinton's ill advised (and stupid) pledge that on becoming president she will declare a no fly zone over Syria (thus leaving aircraft of the USA and its allies to bomb what's left of that country to ruin as they did in Libya, Putin, without revealing his hand, has played his aces and established a de facto no fly zone over Assad held territory, at the same time neutralising the firepower of the US Sixth Fleet.

That should put into perspective the impotence of the rent boy president as he minces around Washington trying to talk up the Russian threast, and the stupidity and reptillian anger of his anointed successor as she screams for more war, more death and more donations to the corrupt clinton Foundation.

Another problem for Washington is the Pentagon backs the YPG Kurds, who are not in favor of regime change in Damascus, knowing that if Assad falls, fanatical theorcrats will replace him and will launch a genocide against the Christians and secular Muslims of Kurdistan, while the CIA and The White House have since 2011 been funding, arming and training the human organ noshing, head amputating savages of Obama's beloved “moderate rebels”, the Al Nusra front (like ISIS, Al Qaeda affiliates.

Barack Obama does not like making difficult decisions, it is (like just about everything else) not one of his strengths) so the decision on Syria will fall to Hillary Clinton. Unilaterally declaring a no fly zone is not an available option, because Russia is already doing it. And if she decides to “punish the regime”, Moscow already telegraphed, via Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov, there will definitely be “consequences” for imposing a “shadow” hot war.

Washington, of course, reserves for itself a “first-strike” nuclear capability, which Hillary Clinton fully supports (Donald Trump does not, and for that and using words like 'pussy' he’s also demonized by warmongers in the USA and its NATO allies). If we allow the current hysteria to literally go nuclear, then we must consider the matter of the S-500 anti-missile system – which effectively seals Russia's air space; Moscow won’t admit it on the record because that would unleash a relentless arms race.

Sun Tzu doesn’t do first-strike and nether does Vladimir Putin, that's why despite three years of Washington's provocations, the world is not at war.

Vote For The Vagina?

As the US election campaign becomes more bad tempered and Wikileaks exposes every day the depths of duplicity, corruption, deceit, cronyism and personal greed that is the main part of one candidate's modus operandi, it is clear that if Hillary Clinton wins Americans are going to be subjected to at least four more years of the warmongering, economic and foreign policy incompetence, divisiveness and contempt for law and democracy that have been the trademark of the Obama Administration. So as the true criminal, elitist nature of the Democratic Party candidate has been revealed in thousands of leaked emails, why are people still prepared to vote for this despicable human being.

Today NPP posting on The Tap wrote:

“I think that just about all these Sanders supporters will give their vote to Trump, and here’s why. These people are not going to be duped into voting for a psychopathic mass murdering, serial rapist protector and criminal like Hillary Clinton just because she’s not a republican or because she’s a woman. Yes, she will get people voting for her because she has a vagina. Voting for Hillary Clinton because she has a vagina is exactly the same as voting for Adolf Hitler because he was Aryan; it’s driven by the same mind set….

Hillary Clinton is probably the most dangerous human being in a position of high political power since Joseph Stalin.

We have all the toe rags of the American establishment – Glen Beck, Huffington Post, Michael Moore – going after Trump non-stop. This shows how terrified the political machine, both democrats and republicans, are of him…

It is true of course, just as a large proportion of voters in 2008 and 2012 would not be told Barack Obama was a wholly owned asset of the neocons who controlled the hated Bush Administration and would prove a socially divisive and economically disastrous president, and insisted on voting for his skin colour (correct me if I'm wrong but didn't someone quite famous once say something about dreaming of living in a country where people were judged by the quality of their character rather than the colour of their skin?) so the same block of voters are now preparing to vote for a war monger, proven traitor, tax evader, fraudster and election cheat solely because she has female genitals.

As a colleague of mine said in a recent post on Boggart Abroad, "This blog can't understand why the candidate's genitals should be a factor in the election, after all, in every election from 1988, Americans have voted to put a cunt in The White House."

Putin’s covert war on western decadence

Post punk shock - rock band Pussy Riot are blamed by some for triggering a new wave of Russian puritanism

 Earlier this month young Russian activists turned out in the streets of Moscow to protest against western decadence. Standing in aggressive military poses and dressed in uniforms of ‘Officers of Russia: Executive Youth Wing,’ they blocked access to an exhibition of photographs of nude adolescents by American photographer Jock Sturges.

‘We are here to protect people from paedophilic influences,’ one young Officer of Russia announced to journalists. Another protester sprayed the offending photographs with urine. At the same time, Russia’s state–controlled radio networks were filled with senators, Rusian Orthodox priests and government officials denouncing the the exhibition (which shut down immediately after the protests) and demanding the organisers to be prosecuted.

The outcry came shortly after the Russian government banned two popular pornography sites, youporn and xhamster, on the pretext of protecting public morality.

According to some left wing commentators in the west, particularly those sympathetic to the moral libertines of the US Democratic Party and the UK's Labour party, which both have advocated of legalising sex between adults and children as young as four, Putin’s Russia is fast becoming a very puritan place. Ever since returning to the presidency in 2012, Putin, an active member of Russia's Orthodox Christian congregation despite his history as a KGB agent under the Soviet regime, has pursued an increasingly religious-conservative ideology both at home and abroad, defining Russia as a moral fortress against sexual licence and decadence, porn and gay rights.

This is true but should be viewed in the context of ideological puritanism in the west, where the Special Snowflake generation suffer attacks of 'the vapours' if they encounter 'microaggressions,' but a quite comfortable with the idea of allowing gay and transgender propaganda to be taught in schools to children as young as four.

Putin’s puritanism has developed under the influence of two of the most prominent conservative ideologues in Russia: his personal confessor Bishop Tikhon Shevkunov and the geopolitical thinker Alexander Dugin. Bishop Tikhon has long been a critic of the decadence of the modern western world — and his Every-day Saints and the Other Stories was the best–selling Russian book of 2012, rivalled for sales only by Fifty Shades of Grey. Dugin is the architect of Eurasianism, an ideology which holds that Russia has a special historical destiny to save the world from the corrupt moral values of western capitalism.

The influence of the Russian Orthodox church on public life is growing fast, thanks to Kremlin patronage. The church’s preferred instrument of control is a draconian law criminalising ‘offending the feeling of religious believers’ that was passed in the wake of a protest by the feminist punk group Pussy Riot in Moscow’s Christ the Saviour Cathedral in 2012. This may seem obnoxious to western liberals but should be seen as a parallel to European and American acts outlawing 'hate speech' which are just as oppressive and illiberal.
 
In March in Stavropol, south Russia, criminal charges were brought against Viktor Krasnov after he wrote ‘God does not exist’ on the VKontakte social network, Russia’s version of Facebook. Krasnov was ordered to spend over a month undergoing examinations in a psychiatric ward before he was finally deemed sane enough to stand trial, and the case continues. Now that is out of order, free speech must always be defended, but let's not forget that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, former British Prime Ministers David Cameron, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have all spoken of criminalising the criticism of climate change alarmism or government policy on globalisation and immigration.

Polls show that most ordinary Russians hold deeply illiberal views on social issues (for example, 21 per cent want to see homosexuals ‘liquidated’, and another 37 per cent advocate ‘separating them from society’ — while only 11 per cent believe homosexuality to be a ‘sexual orientation from birth, which merits the same rights as heterosexual orientation’). And historical polling data from the recently shuttered Levada research centre shows that Russian attitudes on gays, blacks, Jews, foreigners, capital punishment and the like have remained pretty unenlightened since the fall of the Soviet Union.

This echoes the disconnect in European Union members and other liberal democracies including the USA, between the estblishment (politicans and civil servants, academics, media luvvies and public sector professionals) and the masses. In Russia however they liberal fuckwittery is confined to intellectuals.

‘In this epoch of cyborgs, hybrids, mutants, chimeras and virtual reality, mankind will be saved only by tradition,’ Alexander Dugin said in his latest lecture on the Tsargrad TV station. According to him ‘all modernism — the idea of progress, development, the so-called scientific view of the world, democracy and liberalism [is] a Satanic idea that spells a death sentence for humanity… the only defence is asserting God, the church, the empire, the congregation of the faithful, the state, and the people’s traditions.’
Dugin, once a marginal figure, has come closer to the political mainstream as Russia has veered deeper into isolation and nationalism in the wake of the annexation of Crimea in March 2014. 

‘This is a state that cynically uses Orthodox Christianity as a surrogate ideology to prop up its authority,’ argues Brian Whitmore, author of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s influential blog The Power Vertical. ‘It’s a state where fealty to the Orthodox church, or at least publicly proclaiming fealty, becomes a surrogate for patriotism… and it’s a state where challenging the authority of the church is akin to an act of treason.’

Whitmore is correct but fails to compare Russian religious authoritarianism with western ideological authoritarianism. Consider the vile attacks made by those in western societies who try to disguise their authoritarianism by claiming to be 'left wing' and progressive. British motormouth Katie Hopkins, UKIP leader Nigel Farage, TV presenter Piers Morgan, journalist and climate change sceptic James Delingpole, gay conservative writer Milo Yiannopolous, and glamour model Katie Price have all been subjected to hate attacks for expressing opinions that do not conform to the politically correct orthodoxy, in the USA anybody who supports Christian values or questions politically correct thinking is going to be crucified. So we are really looking at civilisations that are heading in opposite directions. And that does not bode well for future prospects of peaceful cooperation.  

MEANWHILE IN THE GLOBAL CAPITAL OF CRAZY

California Legalizes Child Prostitution, Kids Can Now be Sex Workers

Governor Moonbeam has just decriminalized prostitution for minors in California.
He claims that it is meant to make life after human trafficking easier for those forced into it. But who says that the consequences of this move won’t make pedophilia more acceptable? Our government officials have forgotten that their actions will cause dire consequences for others. Or maybe they do know that and they just don’t care.
From DownTrend.com:

This is absolutely astounding. The liberal numbnuts who run the State of California just decriminalized child prostitution. There is no misinterpretation of what they’ve done here. It is no longer illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to engage in prostitution or to solicit money for sex. Like I said, kids in California are now able to legally work as prostitutes.

CBS Sacramento reports that space cadet Governor Jerry Brown signed SB1322 into law on Tuesday. Among other things, this bill exempts minors from the current California prostitution laws. In other words, a person under the age of 18 can no longer be arrested for violating prostitution laws that apply to adults.
I was thinking that maybe the news was reporting this wrong or perhaps they were leaving some stuff out that makes this sound less terrible than it is, but I read the actual wording of the bill and this is what is says:
Existing law makes it a crime to solicit or engage in any act of prostitution. Existing law makes it a crime to loiter in any public place with the intent to commit prostitution. This bill would make the above provisions inapplicable to a child under 18 years of age who is alleged to have engaged in conduct that would, if committed by an adult, violate the above provisions.
