Heretics News Agency (live draft)

As of December 2023, news collection has ceased due to short staffing. Please check this list every 2-4 days for new stories, or search Google News and other aggregation services for familiar keyphrases. A news aggregation blog for MAPs and Allies is planned as part of the Union Project some time before 2025.

This is the live draft for Heretics News Agency on NewgonWiki, a News Aggregation service maintained by and for MAPs and Allies. It will provide material for roughly 2-weekly news aggregator updates to a news-aggregator blog (MAP Alert News), with small (copyright compliant) excerpts and in some cases, editor comments. This will allow regular comment threads to continue in the MAP blogosphere, while MAP bloggers such as Tom O'Carroll, might not be writing.

After a year of operation, the news list featured here will be part-archived and refreshed.

Please post your news story at the top of the list, with any excerpts and comments attached as per normal. Please include each story you select in the blog post, once the aggregator blog is set up.

"John Lomas [Defendant] believes you should be able to have sex with kids who have reached puberty [...] As the judge gave his final sentencing remarks, Lomas locked horns again and blurted "she suggested it" as Judge Gordon recalled the moment he arranged to meet the 14-year-old. "Anything she has done you should have prevented her from doing," Judge Gordon rebutted. "You plied her with alcohol until she was paralytic. I have seen the victim impact statement which she gave, and you are rather lucky she seems to brush off your behaviour. At the end of the day she was quite clearly a very vulnerable child you took advantage of then abused." After Lomas stormed out of the court, Judge Gordon slapped him with an extended sentence of 10 years in his absence, citing his dangerousness to the public based on the expert opinions of the psychiatrist and probation service. Lomas will serve a custodial period of six years and a further four on extended licence. He will be eligible for release by parole after four years."

"Citing a group called “Queer in the World,” Alexander pointed out that over 50 different flags are currently associated with the LGBTQ+ flag, representing various identities, sexual attractions, and sexual behaviors. She expressed concern, particularly about the inclusion of flags representing BDSM (bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadism, masochism) and flags associated with kink and fetish. Alexander argued that exposing children to such flags could encourage sexual activity and make them susceptible to predators. Alexander also questioned the boundaries of the LGBTQ+ flag’s “plus” designation and called for a discussion among City Council members regarding which groups fall under the “plus” and why? She raised flags such as the Leather pride flag, Rubber Pride flag, Bears and cubs flag, Furies and Beastality flag, and flags associated with polyamory and pedophilia (minor-attracted persons or MAPs)."

• New York State Education Department Releases Radical Guidance for ‘Transgender’ Students

"The term “cisgender” was first published by German sexologist Volkmar Sigusch, who had distorted views on human sexuality, including how society views and treats pedophiles. Progressives now echo his claims, asserting that pedophiles should be referred to as “MAPs” or “minor-attracted persons” or “YAPs” which stands for “youth-attracted persons” to reduce stigma. Gender theory, which was developed by several similarly pedophilic psychologists and sexologists around the world, is now public school policy and is taught in classrooms as fact despite a total lack of scientific and biological evidence. Minors do not need to be introduced to concepts that have severe consequences they cannot consent to. "

• Sound of Freedom: The Story of One Man’s War on Child Trafficking

"While there is no denying that multiple factors encourage the sexual exploitation of children, the real-life Ballard believes that one major contributor in our times is the woke political atmosphere in the country. The irony, he says, is that 20 years ago, people could be arrested for giving pornography to minors, but today, teachers supply what is essentially pornography as part of the curriculum. He warns of the harm teachers and school authorities inflict by manipulating children into gender confusion and gender transition treatment without parental approval. “If you can consent to genital mutilation, you can consent to sex with a 50-year-old,” he says, adding that there are attempts to normalize pedophilia by portraying it as “child liberation” rather than abuse and viewing parents as the enemy for limiting access to their children. In a parallel development, pedophiles are insinuating themselves into the LGBTQ movement, reinventing themselves as an alternative orientation - Minor Attracted Persons (MAPs). A book published by the University of California Press and based on interviews with a group that bills itself as ‘Virtuous Pedophiles’ even makes a case for their “pursuit of dignity.” There are attempts to get child exploitation material and child pornography legalized."

• Taught that it's normal to want to masturbate during and even before they hit puberty
• Informed that it's normal for prepubescent children to be sexually attracted to anyone

[...]

'It's a mission to sexualise children and people don't understand there's a huge safeguarding risk in that. It is child indoctrination. When you think of cults, the first thing they do is separate people from families. They are trying to put a distance between children and their families.' Mrs Marsh has had personal experience of her child being taught shocking sexual material. She said: 'My daughter came home and asked if she was asexual.

In a review of international, national and local criminal complaints, news articles and law enforcement communications published since Discord was founded, NBC News identified 35 cases over the past six years in which adults were prosecuted on charges of kidnapping, grooming or sexual assault that allegedly involved communications on Discord. Twenty-two of those cases occurred during or after the Covid pandemic. At least 15 of the prosecutions have resulted in guilty pleas or verdicts, and many of the other cases are still pending."

• Democrat Transgender Lawmaker Arrested on Multiple Child Pornography Charges

• Behind every child sex abuse image, there is a real child

"Infants and toddlers. I know it is hard to stomach. Hard to believe. But I’ve seen it, it is happening and we must not look away. When I was young and being abused, the nightly torture was confined to the oppression of my poverty-stricken family home. Today, the exploitation spreads like a silent, deadly disease from homes all around the world through the darkest corners of the internet. Children who have been raped and violated are betrayed further as their abuse is viewed online, millions of times. [...] Behind every image, there is a real child. A real child in danger. A real child living in fear. A real child being re-traumatised by abuse that will never end until tech companies are held accountable and remove those images. Babies and toddlers are not putting these images of themselves being abused online. We can no longer shrug off this scourge as “just teenagers sexting”. These are images captured by abusers, and shared by abusers."

Warwick Pride attempt to attach MAPs to this year's celebration. Serious or otherwise, isn't the legal intervention just Validity Policing?

As we are close to having a final product (a blog with comments) lets introduce categories to our news updates.

MAPs

• No, the UN Didn't Tweet 'Pedophilia Is Not a Crime' (Snopes)

• SUNY Fredonia professor who appeared to condone pedophilia wants back on campus

Comment: "This concerns the Stephen Kershnar controversy centering on normalization of pedophilia."

• Beware Pride Month PsyOps from trolls

"The 4chan trolls have already started with their (paraphrased) “Pride is for all gays, lesbians, trans, and MAPs” bullshit that they hope people will retweet in solidarity w/o realizing the MAP is code for “Minor Attracted Person” aka a Pedophile."

• Do 'Minor-Attracted Persons' Use a 'MAPs Pride Flag' To Represent Themselves?

Comment: "This story is pretty major for MAPs, as it represents an about turn for the fact-checking org, Snopes. As our MAP Flag article explains, they had previously published an error strewn "fact check" 5 years ago, that was in fact nothing of the sort. This article arguably led to the frequent liberal talking point on social media concerning the MAP Movement being a "hoax". In this sense, the revision is most welcome."

Coincidentally, Politifact and Reuters have addressed claims about the progress pride flag".

• Effort to link Warwick Pride with pedophilia under investigation

• Marion County sting operation produces 2 more arrests of men facing child sex charges ... ‘Operation M.A.P. Mirage’ now sees 22 arrests

• In praise of ‘shame’

"Most of the homeless people I’ve interviewed over the years as a journalist say they’ve made a conscious choice to stay on the streets – an uncomfortable truth I learned while reporting for Quillette. The most egregious example, however, is the campaign to normalise paedophilia. No longer child abusers, Minor Attracted Persons are just the evolution of self-expression, right? What’s next? Perhaps rapists will become ‘people with consent disorders’."

• Do not Normalize Pedophiles

• Told you so: Conservatives have warned over and over where LGBTQ narrative will lead

"And in Texas, undercover footage recently revealed a high school teacher’s unapologetically advocating pedophilia to a classroom full of minor children: “We’re gonna call them MAPs, minor-attracted persons,” the teacher said. “So don’t judge people just because they wanna have sex with a 5-year-old.”"

"A number of states have passed laws outlawing child sex dolls since 2019, including Florida, Tennessee, South Dakota and Hawaii. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed a bill Friday outlawing the dolls in her state. Republican legislation banning them nationwide — dubbed the Creeper Act — has been floating around the U.S. House of Representatives since at least 2017. [...] Wisconsin state Rep. Joy Goeben and Sen. Jesse James’ bill would define a child sex doll as an anatomically correct doll, mannequin or robot with features that resemble a minor and is intended for sexual uses. [...] Anyone caught possessing such a doll would be guilty of a felony punishable by up to 3 1/2 years in prison. A first offense involving three or more dolls or a second offense would be punishable by up to 6 years. A third or subsequent offense would be punishable by up to 10 years. If the doll resembles a specific minor the offender would face up to 15 years in prison for a first offense."

• McGill University Researcher Solicits Online Pedophile Communities for “Child Love” Research

"On May 30, Levitan posted a call for participants on BoyChat, the surface web’s longest-running pederast forum. BoyChat caters to adult men sexually attracted to young boys, and has been operational since 1995. The site has been allowed to continue because posts are required to remain within a strict channel of legality, though the men often sign their posts with photos of themselves as children. Men involved in the BoyChat community share tips on how to avoid law enforcement and advocate for sexual offending against minors. The terms “pro-contact” and “no contact” or “anti-contact” are used to differentiate between those who believe sex with minors should be legalized and those who claim to avoid acting on their urge to abuse."

• Woke critics won't stop me from tackling grooming gangs, pledges Suella Braverman as she rolls out plans for a new taskforce

• Florida lawmakers appear poised to pass legislation allowing the death penalty for pedophiles

From the original report:

"This bill invites a longer, costlier (legal) process for the victim and their family that they will endure," Wayt said. "While this crime, anyone convicted of it is vile, heinous, the Constitution itself, the case law, the Supreme Court demands a maximum of life in prison. And so while it's not the vengeance we all want, it's the justice that the Constitution demands."

[...]

"This is a life sentence that is handed down to young children," Book said. "We're talking about the youngest of the young in this bill. I was one of those kids. I still to this day at ... 38 years old deal with the very, very real lasting effects of this crime. It never goes away. Sometimes you close your eyes and you see it. I don't get a chance to make it stop."

Ofcom revealed yesterday it had received 930 complaints about the show, by far the highest number of complaints for any U.K. broadcast in the past week. [...] The show, which Betty describes as “a body-positive, educational series aiming to normalise all body types,” includes a segment in which a group of teenagers aged between 14 and 16 sit in a classroom to discuss different aspects of the human body, including public hair, STDs and body image. They then look on as a group of adults with a particular trait – such as body hair – troupe into the room and remove their robes as the teens look on."

• How SCOTUS Promoted Pernicious Myths About Sex Offender Registries

"This Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of Smith v. Doe, a Supreme Court decision that approved the retroactive application of Alaska's sex offender registry, deeming it preventive rather than punitive. That ruling helped propagate several pernicious myths underlying a policy that every state has adopted without regard to its justice or effectiveness. Writing for the majority in Smith, Justice Anthony Kennedy took it for granted that collecting and disseminating information about people convicted of sex offenses made sense as a public safety measure. But that premise was always doubtful. The vast majority of sexual assaults, especially against children, are committed by relatives, friends, or acquaintances, and the perpetrators typically do not have prior sex-offense convictions. That means they would not show up on a registry even if someone bothered to check. It is therefore not surprising that research finds little evidence to support Kennedy's assumption that publicly accessible registries protect potential victims. Summarizing the evidence in a 2016 National Affairs article, Eli Lehrer noted that "virtually no well-controlled study shows any quantifiable benefit from the practice of notifying communities of sex offenders living in their midst.""

• Man charged with murder for killing former sex offender with a shovel and an antler

"A Minnesota man was charged with second-degree murder Friday after he bludgeoned a previously convicted sex offender to death with a shovel and a large moose antler. The suspect, 27-year-old Levi Axtell, believed that the victim, Lawrence Scully, had been stalking his then-22-month-old daughter on her walks back home from a local daycare since 2018. [...] Axtell made public posts on social media expressing violent thoughts towards people like Scully starting in 2020. He posted a photo on Facebook featuring someone holding a gun with the caption, “Only cure for pedophiles. A bullet." He added additional thoughts in the comment thread below the photo, saying, "People always ask me why I hate pedophiles. They assume I've been abused. But really I think being protective is just an Axtell trait." [...] He told law enforcement that he grabbed a shovel off of Scully’s porch and used that to hit the victim in the head “15-20 times” before he “finished him off” with several more blows from a moose antler in the vicinity."

Comment: "The Daily Mail also picks up on this story. The back-slapping he has received since murdering his victim appears to be a disturbingly open celebration of his mental illness, and hateful delusions."

• San Francisco Teacher Sparks Outrage with Disturbing Tweets in Support of Inappropriate Conduct

• Florida Principal Out After Viewing Of Michelangelo's 'David' Upsets Parents

"The principal of Florida’s Tallahassee Classical School is out of a job after parents complained that their sixth-grade children were shown Michelangelo’s 16th century “David” sculpture, with one parent calling it “pornographic,” the Tallahassee Democrat first reported. The now-former principal, Hope Carrasquilla, told HuffPost the situation was also “a little more complicated than that,” noting that the usual protocol is to send parents a letter before students are shown such classical artwork. [...] One parent was “point-blank upset,” Carrasquilla continued, and “felt her child should not be viewing those pieces.” The board of the charter school decided Monday to give the principal the choice to resign or be fired after less than a year in the job. She was the school’s third principal since it opened in the fall of 2020, per the Tallahassee Democrat. [...] Carrasquilla said she had taught in classical education for a decade and knew that “once in a while you get a parent who gets upset about Renaissance art” — hence the letter. [...] “Parental rights trump everything else,” [School Board Chair] Bishop said. [...] “They didn’t like the woke indoctrination that was going on,” [he added] [...] “We don’t use pronouns,” Bishop said. “We don’t teach CRT and we don’t ever mention 1619 — those are not appropriate subjects for our kids.”"

• Sexuality has nothing to do with pedophilia. Stop conflating the two

"It’s eerie to see a man who was once looked upon as a leader in our community, now sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial for 56 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography charges. I feel as though this entire city has been betrayed. This situation has also made me worried about the backlash the gay community could unjustly incur because of Wojahn’s alleged actions. Wojahn is a gay man, which is an inextricable part of his identity. However, it doesn’t mean his abhorrent behavior is an inextricable part of the LGBTQ+ community. [...] Wojahn’s sexuality has nothing to do with his arrest — a fact these outlets choose to ignore. This reporting poses a tremendous setback in developing an open, inclusive environment for the entire LGBTQ+ community in College Park, and potentially across the country. The LGBTQ+ community has been fighting the harmful stereotype of being child abusers since the 1970s. When the Save Our Children movement emerged as a powerful anti-gay group, it worked to overturn an ordinance that prevented housing discrimination based on sexual orientation. Their leader, Anita Bryant, asserted that homosexual teachers would likely molest children. Since then, the trope of gay men committing pedophilia has pervaded both media and politics."

Comment: "Is the desperation among the gay community in the "Grooming" era, and their attempts at revising history something we can monopolize upon? Perhaps some conservatives should swat up on historical examples of LGBT-MAP unity, as this would appear to be a useful angle of attack."

• California ‘Teacher of the Year’ faces 14 charges in child sexual abuse case

"A teacher in National City who won a Teacher of the Year award in August was arrested and booked into county jail for an “inappropriate relationship” with a 13-year-old former student, police said. Jacqueline Ma, 34, was a teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary in National City — just south of San Diego — where she taught fifth and sixth grades. On Monday, a “concerned parent” reached out to the National City Police Department saying she was afraid her 13-year-old was being treated inappropriately by Ma, according to a news release. The next day, detectives developed probable cause to arrest the teacher. [...] The teacher is charged with seven counts of possession of child pornography and four counts of sexual exploitation of a child. She is also charged with two counts of committing lewd or lascivious acts with a child. Finally, Ma is charged with attempting to dissuade a witness from testifying."

• Age of Consent and Child Porn Debated at 8th Circuit

""In this case there was no abuse. The underlying conduct was legal," Gilg said, pointing out the age of consent in Nebraska is 16 – the age of the girl when when she met Rouse at Omaha hotels for sex over a five-month period. Gilg argued the sexual acts Rouse engaged in, along with images taken during those acts, deserve First Amendment protection. [...] Senior Judge C. Arlen Beam, a Ronald Reagan appointee, remarked that Rouse’s sentence for distributing the videos was “somewhat nonsensical” and “troublesome” for what he sees as an “innocuous offense.” Beam noted Rouse and the teenager only sent the videos to each other and did not disseminate them publicly."

• The horrifying rehabilitation of paedophilia

"One of the problems with the victim-driven ideology of the Left is that real victims get ignored. There’s no place for children in the elbow-jostling arena of the grievance industry, they will never be heard. Kids can’t speak up, but their silence does not mean consent, as so many advocates of paedophilia would have you believe, it just means they’re kids. Childhood abuse is a human rights issue, but it’s never couched in those terms. It’s the first betrayal that anyone can experience, but there are no social justice warriors highlighting it. There are few programs to help those affected, and no widespread push-back in the general community against those wanting to promote paedophilia as a harmless lifestyle choice. We’ve ceded too much in the cultural Marxist/woke take-over of Western society, realising too late what we’ve lost. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and declare that our children will not be ceded."

• The Term "Cissexual" Was Coined By Pedophile Sympathizer Volkmar Sigusch Who Said "Good Sex Can Be Anything"

"Volkmar Sigusch was born in 1940 and became a renowned sexologist and physician who played a big role in the 1960s sexual revolution. He was the director of the Institute for Sexual Science at the clinic of Goethe University in Frankfurt. He was a writer and editor for cultural magazines that focused on sex and psychology. @heyitsjuderose called him a "pedo sympathizer" in her video and pointed out that he's the first person on record to coin the term cisgender "as an antonym to transgender." However, Sigusch actually coined the term cissexual as an antonym to transgender. The term cissexual first came up in a peer-reviewed paper called "The Neosexual Revolution." Sigusch is also "credited as some kind of pioneer for the LGBTQ movement" as well as the sexual revolution in general. (It should be noted that the word cisgender, which has become the preferred term, was allegedly coined by Dana Defosse, PhD, a retired research and physician educator, in 1994 when she was a graduate student.)"
