Award-winning Sesame Street composer Fernando Rivas accused of
(1) producing and distributing child porn, including images of a naked 4 year old in handcuffs
(2) coercing a child to ‘engage in sexually explicit conduct.’
Hollywood manager Martin Weiss, 47, charged with sexually abusing a former client, who was 12 at the time.
Jason James Murphy, 35, convicted of kidnapping and molesting an eight-year-old boy, helped cast family films such as The School of Rock and Bad News Bears.
Corey Feldman, who was molested as a child, told ABC's Nightline that Hollywood paedophilia is 'the biggest secret' in the industry.
"It was the gossip back in the 80s. People said, 'Oh yeah, the Coreys, everyone’s had them.' People talked about it like it was no big deal.
"The word was that they were given drugs and being used for sex. It was awful – these were kids, they weren’t 18 yet.
"There were all sorts of stories about everyone from their 'set guardians' on down that these two had been sexually abused and were totally being corrupted in every possible way."
Corey Haim died in 2010 at age 38.
Corey Feldman told Nightline:
"There’s one person to blame in the death of Corey Haim, and that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul."
He claimed sexual abuse had played a part in Corey Haim’s death.
Alison Arngrim said that those who could speak up – parents, family, agents, and managers – are all profiting from the child.
"The ancient Greek man may have cruised the Acropolis looking for teenage boys, but he was just as happy to find a female slave - and he went home to his wife...
"Sufi mystics adored the beauty of male youths, with their downy cheeks, as a pathway to adoring the beauty of God..."
How should people behave in matters sexual?
Are we to take the Bible seriously when it comes to rules about sex or rules in general?
He said, "If you give me victory over the Ammonites, I will give to the LORD the first thing coming out of my house to greet me when I return in triumph.
"I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering."
When Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, his daughter, his only child, ran out to meet him, playing on a tambourine and dancing for joy.
Jephthah said: "What a tragedy that you came out to greet me. For I have made a vow to the LORD and cannot take it back."
Jephthah kept his vow, and she died.

InJudges 21, God reportedly "orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for thevirgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married.
When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife!" ( Evil Bible Home Page )
God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered theelimination of entire ethnic groupsin "Joshua" including women, children. (Top Ten List)
We conclude that some of the stuff in the Bible should be ignored.

SO, how should people behave in matters sexual?
In the days of Moses, the politicians and priests wanted the tribe to triumph; they wanted people to marry and have lots of children; they did not want people to simply hug each other; they wanted babies and more babies.
Times change.
SO, our advice is:
1. In most circumstances it can be good to give someone a hug or even to hold someone's hand; this is good for your health, so long as the beloved does not have a cold, and so long as the beloved is not someone else's carefully guarded property. Love everyone; and don't forget to hug the old, the ugly and the handicapped.
2. Hugging can be harmless in most circumstances; but best avoid hugging someone else's girlfriend or boyfriend or wife or whatever if their is a risk of jealousy being created.
3. Outside marriage, deep intimacy is usually best avoided, especially if there is a risk of spreading disease or producing unwanted babies.
4. Always try to be moderate and compassionate in your behaviour.

"Among bonobo apes, which are reputed to be jolly and sociable creatures, sex takes place between males and males, between females and females, between males and females, and between adults and children.
"Bonobos, according to recent research, may be closer to us than chimps; bonobos share 98% of our genetic profile.
"Often bearded, invariably in flowing robes and expensive turbans...
"The Arabs usually 'marry' the girls for short periods, sometimes just a single night."
What about other parts of the world?
"In a sleazy hotel room, 'Brittany,' then aged 16 and drugged into oblivion, waited for the men to arrive.
"Her pimps send as many as 17 clients an evening through the door.
This took place in Atlanta, in the U.S. Bible Belt.
"Men fly in, are met by pimps, have sex with a 14-year-old for lunch, and get home in time for dinner with the family," said Sanford Jones, the chief juvenile judge of Fulton County, Georgia.

23 year-old Johanne M from Cheshire was raped and murdered by a Thai monk. Her body was found south-west of Bangkok.
24-year old Kirsty J was raped and killed in a guesthouse in Chiang Mai.
On the island of Phuket a 22 year old student from Lanarkshire was brutally raped.
According to Postman Patel: Nisha Patelworked for the police as a Special Constable.
Nisha Patel,before she was murdered, ran the "Seventh Heaven" , a brothel/escort agency, with her husband Nasri Patel.
Nasri Patel would often make the claim that his wife Nisha had high-powered friends at Scotland Yard who'd protect him.
On one occasion Nisha Patel tried to collect, from client J, on a bouncing £1,800 cheque.
She indicated that she was on 'police business'.
J called the police.
47 year old Sergeant David Eden sent a report to the Metropolitan (London) Police Professional Standards department; and he sent a formal complaint to Wembley police station, where Nasri Patel worked.
After Nisha Patel was murdered, Sergeant Eden again approached the Metropolitan police.
He was told that his previous report could not be released.
He later discovered that the hard disk of his Hertfordshire police computer, where he had stored a copy, had been wiped.
Police Commander Rod Jarman said that a matter had been brought to his attention by Sergeant Eden, adding: "It was dealt with by way of formal discipline."
According to Sergeant Eden, Nisha Patel had told him:
1. She could have him out of his job.
2. "You don't know who you're f***ing with!"
Nisha Patel was not sacked.
At Nisha's funeral More than 100 police officers formed a guard of honour on the road leading to Golders Green Crematorium in north London, as the funeral cortege arrived.
The coffin was adorned with the Metropolitan Police Service drape and Nisha's police helmet.
Chief Inspector Julia Pendry, one of her closest colleagues, was among those to read a eulogy at the service.
"It is evident by the number of police colleagues here today that Nisha was well liked and popular member of the policing family who will be sadly missed."
At the time of her murder Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said: "Our hearts go out to Nisha's husband and family and friends. It is a tragedy that a young woman who willingly gave up so much of her valuable free time to work as a police officer in her local community should lose her life in this terrible way.
"Nisha was tremendously popular with her colleagues, who regarded her a real team player and her death is a huge loss to the Metropolitan Police Service.

Stephen O. Murray has written about sex in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Murray explains that Africa is, like the rest of the World, bisexual.
Murray points out that most of what we know about traditional African societies was written in the last decade of the nineteenth century or later.
There are reports of homosexuality across every region of the continent.
The colonial era reports are reviewed in Murray and Roscoe's 'Boy-Wives and Female Husbands'.
A few examples:
In the central African Zande culture, before European conquest, it was regarded "as very sensible for a man to sleep with boys when women are not available or are taboo."
English anthropologist E. E. Evans-Pritchard was told that some Azande men had sex with boys "just because they like them."
The adult males paid the families of boy wives, just as they paid for female brides. The two slept together at night, "the husband satisfying his desires between the boy's thighs. When the boy grew up he joined the company and took a boy-wife in his turn. It was the duty of the husband to give his boy-wife a spear and a shield when he became a warrior. He then took a new boy-wife."
One commander, Ganga, told Evans-Pritchard that there were some men who, although they had female wives, still married boys. "When a war broke out, they took their boys with them...
If another man had relations with his boy, the husband could sue the interloper in court for adultery."
The South African Thonga provide another particularly well-documented instance of a boy-wife role.
A number of southern and western African societies also had female husbands, though whether these husbands had sexual relations with their wives is unclear in what has been written.
Gender-crossing homosexuality has been discussed as common in the (Nigerian) Hausa bori cult (and in Afro-Brazilian offshoots of west African spirit-possession religion).
Among the Maale of southern Ethiopia, some males crossed over to feminine roles. Called ashtime, these (biological) males dressed as women, performed female tasks, cared for their own houses, and apparently had sexual relations with men, according to Donald Donham.
One gave Donham a clear statement of the "third gender" conception: "The Divinity created me wobo, crooked. If I had been a man, I could have taken a wife and begotten children. If I had been a woman, I could have married and borne children. But I am wobo; I can do neither."
Among Swahili-speakers on the Kenya coast, particularly in the port of Mombasa, mashoga are transgendered prostitutes who have all the liberties of men and are also welcome in many contexts in which men are prohibited.
The paid partner usually takes the receptive role during intercourse, but it is likely that his inferiority derives from the fact that he is paid to provide what is asked for, rather than from his undertaking a particular sexual role. The one who pays is called the basha (derived from "pasha," a high-ranking official and the local term for the king in packs of playing cards).
Among the Fon, the predominant people in Dahomey (now Benin), Melville Herskovits in the 1930s reported that, after the age at which boys and girls may play together, "the sex drive finds satisfaction in close friendship between boys in the same group . . . . A boy may take the other 'as a woman,' this being called gaglgo, homosexuality. Sometimes an affair of this sort persists during the entire life of the pair".
Most of the reports of homosexual relations not involving differences in age or gender status involved young, unmarried men's sexual relationships with each other.
Kurt Falk wrote about an especially intimate bond of association, soregus, among the southeastern African Naman that included sex both between men and between women (with mutual masturbation the most common form of sex, but also males taking turns at anal penetrations and females using dildoes on each other).
An "exceptionally reliable" Nykakyusa (a people living around what is now the Tanzania/Zimbabwe border) reported to Monica Wilson in the early 1930s that male friends, who live in villages of age-mates when not out herding cattle, generally sleep together.
The Nykakyusa accepted that male friends who danced together would have sexual relations.
"Even if people see them in flagrante delicto, they say it is adolescence (lukulilo), all children are like that: they say that sleeping together and dancing is also adolescence," according to Wilson's elder. He reported that interfemoral intercourse is "what boys mostly do" and also reported anal and oral sex, ("some, during intercourse, work[ing] in the mouth of their friend, and hav[ing] an orgasm").
An Ovimbundu (in Angola) informant, told an ethnographer, "There are men who want men, and women who want women. . . . A woman has been known to make an artificial penis for use with another woman."
Among the Tswana (in addition to homosexuality among the men laboring in the mines), it was reported that back home "lesbian practices are apparently fairly common among the older girls and young women, without being regarded in any way reprehensible." Use of artificial penises was also reported among the Ila and Naman tribes of South Africa.
There are reports of age-differentiated roles in Lesotho. Relationships are initiated voluntarily by one girl who takes a liking to another and simply asks her to be her mummy or her baby, depending on their relative age, according to Judith Gay.
"The most frequently given reason for initiating a particular relationship was that one girl felt attracted to the other by her looks, her clothes, or her actions. . . . Sexual intimacy is an important part of these relationships." Over time, a Sotho may undertake both roles (with different partners) or play the same role with different partners.
Murray concludes:
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance.
Much of this same-sex activity was situational or premarital, though there were long-term relationships, too.
The special Christian opposition toward homosexuality was carried to Africa by Europeans and stimulated denials that "the sin not named among Christians" existed among "unspoiled" Africans.
"She was expensive and had many bookings, mostly by state officials, who were known to tip generously. Some of the course’s top caddies could charge up to Rp500,000 for a round (of golf), but Rani was the most expensive, able to charge Rp1 million." - Murder over Sexy Caddie?
This is a story, from Indonesia, of an alleged love triangle, a mafia-style execution and dodgy vote counting equipment.
Nasrudin Zulkarnaen was murdered. Was he killed as part of a love triangle, or, killed to prevent him testifying in a corruption case?
(Zulkarnaen was president director of PT Putra Rajawali Banjaran, PRB, a pharmaceutical subsidiary of PT Mitra Rajawali Banjaran, which is itself a subsidiary of state-owned PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia, RNI, which has been linked to massive corruption )
"Some reports say Nasrudin (Nasrudin Zulkarnaen) was killed to prevent him from testifying in a corruption case.
"Others claim the murder was a crime of passion because Antasari and Nasrudin were screwing the same young female golf caddie.
Antasari Azhar, indonesia's anti-corruption boss, has been linked to the murder.
"Reports have described the caddie as Nasrudin’s 'third wife' although apparently the two were not officially married.
"There is talk that Nasrudin had filmed Antasari having sex with the caddy and had threatened to release the footage.
"Another version is that the killing was conducted with the sole aim of making Antasari a suspect because powerful people feared his anti-corruption investigations...
"When former dictator Suharto’s youngest son Tommy was sentenced to 18 months’ in jail for corruption in 2000, it was Antasari’s job to take Tommy to jail.
"Antasari instead allowed Tommy to go into hiding.
"Antasari has been accused of allowing other villains to get away with corruption.

There has been chaos in the vote counting in the elections in the world's fourth biggest country, by population, Indonesia.
Indonesia's anti-corruption boss, Antasari Azhar, has launched an investigation into the procurement of faulty electronic equipment used in the elections.
It was on 1 May 2009, that Antasari was named a suspect by the Attorney General's Office in connection with the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen, director of state pharmaceutical firm PT Putra Rajawali Banjaran, on 14 March 2009.
Antasari's supporters see this as a conspiracy to destroy a corruption-busting crime fighter. Antasari's opponents say Antasari has a poor record in fighting corruption.
Zulkarnaen was shot in the head by a motorcycle-riding gunman as he left a golf course south of Jakarta in his BMW.
Police reportedly found a text message from Antasari on Zulkarnaen's mobile phone. Allegedly this read: "You know the risk."
Police were told of Zulkarnaen's involvement with 22 year-old Rani Julianti.
Zulkarnaen's family and lawyers claim Antasari was also infatuated with Rani Julianti, said to be a golf caddy.
According to a family friend, Zulkarnaen threatened to expose Antasari's relationship with Julianti to Jakarta's 'gossip media'.
Among those caught by Antasari's anti-corruption body have been senior staff at the Attorney-General's Department.
Police have arrested the alleged gunman, reportedly an East Timorese native who fought with the pro-Indonesian militia, and the "recruiter" of the gunman, apparently a senior police officer from Jakarta.
Two other men, allegedly the financiers of the plot, have also been arrested. One is Sigit Haryo Wibisono, the owner of the Harian Merdeka newspaper.
An Indonesia Corruption Watch activist, Dadang Tri Sasongko, said Antasari had a poor track record as a senior prosecutor.
The murdered Zulkarnaen is linked to state-owned PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia, RNI.
Dangin was the finance director of RNI.
He was arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on January 8, 2009, for allegedly embezzling Rp4.5 billion ($376,000) in proceeds from the refined sugar import monopoly controlled by RNI in cooperation with the National Logistics Agency (Bulog) over 2001-04. (Murder over Sexy Caddie? by kenyeung )
Ranendra's trial commenced on 30 March 2009 at the Anti-Corruption Court in Jakarta.
In 2005, then State-Owned Enterprises Minister Sugiharto reported that RNI and its subsidiaries had embezzled more than Rp60 billion in funds.
In 2003, RNI and two of its subsidiaries were reported for allegedly embezzling Rp520 billion out of Rp580 billion in funds the ministry had disbursed over a period of five years. (Murder over Sexy Caddie? by kenyeung )
Warren is being investigated by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly raping women who claim he laced their drinks with a knock-out drug.
An affidavit says the first victim states she was raped by Warren in Sept. 2007 after being invited to a party at Warren's residence by U.S. embassy employees.
She told a State Department investigator that after Warren prepared a mixed drink of cola and whiskey, she felt unwell.
When she woke up the next morning, "she was lying on a bed, completely nude, with no memory of how she had been undressed."
She said she realized "she recently had engaged in sexual intercourse, though she had no memory of having intercourse."
According to the affidavit, a second alleged victim told a similar story, saying Warren met her at the U.S. embassy and invited her for a "tour of his home" where she said he prepared an apple martini for her "out of her sight."
The second victim said she suddenly felt faint and went to the bathroom.
She could see and hear, but she could not move, the affidavit says.
She told investigators Warren "was attempting to remove her pants."
The bin Ladens like to keep close to the Bush family
The alleged victim said she remembers being in Warren's bed and asking him to stop, but that "Warren made a statement to the effect of 'nobody stays in my expensive sheets with clothes on.'"
She told investigators "as she slipped in and out of consciousness she had conscious images of Warren penetrating her vagina repeatedly with his penis."
Warren admitted there were photographs of the two women on his personal laptop.
U.S. officials found videos that appear to have been secretly recorded and show, they say, Warren engaged in sexual acts.
Officials say one of the alleged victims is seen on tape, in a "semi-conscious state."
As the station chief in Algiers, Warren may know quite a lot about the al Qaeda (al CIAda) group responsible for a wave of bombings in Algeria.
In the most serious incident, 48 people were killed in a bombing in Aug. 2008 in Algiers, blamed on the al Qaeda group.
The Algerian ambassador to the United Nations, Mourad Benmehid, said his government had not been notified by the U.S. of the rape allegations or the criminal investigation.
No charges have been filed.
There has been terrorism in Algeria for many decades.
According to an article entitled The Arc of Crisisvarious Nazis and spooks have been involved in Algeria.
Reportedly, what these Nazis and spooks believe in is a 'Strategy of Tension'.
Fascism thrives on terror.
From 1954 - 62, there was a war for independence in Algeria. Thousands died in acts of terror.
Reportedly, elements of the US and French governments supplied both sides in the conflict.
Reportedly, Skorzeny became involved with the French Secret Army Organization (OAS), which tried to block President de Gaulle’s plans to give independence to Algeria.
Allen Dulles whose CIA Operation Paperclip assimilated Nazi scientists into the American establishment
Reportedly, the OAS was controlled by financier Pierre Guillain de Benouville, in cooperation with Allen Dulles of the CIA, Hitler’s Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht and Genoud.
Reportedly, when Dulles was OSS Station Chief in Berne, Switzerland, he helped Genoud transfer Hitler money into Swiss bank accounts. (Henderson, Dean. “The Shah of Iran and David Rockefeller”. excerpted from Geopolitics: The Global Economy of Big Oil, Weapons and Drugs.)
Reportedly, elements of the OAS supported both sides in the war of independence in Algeria. Reportedly, François Mitterrand was part of this conspiracy.
Reportedly, Mitterand promoted the idea of the head of the OAS, Jacques Soustelle, becoming governor-general of Algeria.
Reportedly, the OAS linked up with Skorzeny, who trained elements of both the OAS and the FLN (those seeking independence).
Beginning in November 1954, the FLN launched attacks against the French.
The war ended in 1962 and an FLN government took over.
By 1991, the FLN government was seen as being corrupt and unpopular.
In 1991, a Moslem party, the Islamic Salavation Front (FIS), was about to win the elections.
The FLN government cancelled the elections and effectively there was rule by the military.
It is believed that members of the security services, disguised as terrorists, then began to carry out acts of terrorism, in order to discredit the Islamic Salvation Front.
1. In Algeria there is evidence that the 'terrorists' work for the security services.
These security services may be Algerian and / or French and / or American.
2. But the mainstream media wants us to think of al Qaeda.
Message from the CIA's Department of Disinformation? "Has bin Laden chosen Algeria as his launching pad to attack Europe?" - Algeria: al-Qaeda Connection/Huffington Post
"Algeria's present al-Qaida offshoot is known as Al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa. It grew out of the GSPC, the last extremist group left over from the bloody civil war, which joined Osama bin Laden's network in September 2006." - Al-Qaida claims responsibility for Algeria attacks
3. There is evidence from the past that the 'terrorists' worked for the French and Algerian security services.
The New Zealand Listener reported on the links between the security services and the 'Islamic terrorists' in Algeria.
'In recent years, firm evidence has begun to emerge from Algerian military sources and leading academics that the dreaded GIA has been – perhaps from the outset and certainly under Zitouni's bloody leadership – a dummy, or 'screen' organisation managed by French/Algerian counter-intelligence.' - http://www.listener.co.nz/default,1457.sm
4. Reportedly, the Algerian military, disguised as terrorists, were barbaric.
In February 2001, 'The Dirty War', by Habib Souaidia, a former Algerian army officer, was published.
It tells of the part played by the Algerian army in the killing of tens of thousands of Algerians.
Habib writes:"I have seen colleagues burn alive a 15-year-old child.
"I have seen soldiers disguising themselves as terrorists and massacring civilians.
"I have seen colonels kill mere suspects in cold blood.
Some observers think that within the military there is a pro-Russian faction and a pro-American/French faction.
The most likely explanation for recent events is that the bombs are meant to strengthen the pro-American/French faction.
6. How strong is the American interest in Algeria?
The United States is building a huge military surveillance base at Tamanrasset in Algeria.
US forces are training the Algerian military.
Washington wants to provide Algiers with pilot-less drone planes.
This military base is a result of agreements signed between Washington and Algiers for oil industry development.
In addition, the United States has worked to include Algeria in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and considers this North African country one of its most important allies outside of NATO. - Fake terror in Algeria; the US military in Algeria; oil in Algeria.
