There is 'not enough land' to build all the prisons needed to lock up UK's paedophiles

Sue Berelowitz who is chairing the government's inquiry
into child sex abuse said the public will be 'shocked by
the sheer scale of the problem'

The former Deputy Children's Commissioner for England has warned that child sex abuse in the UK is so widespread that there is 'not enough land' to build all the prisons needed to incarcerate offenders.

Sue Berelowitz, who has been under fire after she received a six-figure payoff and was then promptly rehired as a £1,000 a-day consultant, made the claim while speaking at the Hay Literary Festival yesterday.

Mrs Berelowitz, who is currently chairing the government's inquiry into child sex abuse said the public will be 'shocked by the sheer scale of the problem' when she releases her report in November.

She said that if the Crown Prosecution Service were to prosecute every paedophile there would not be enough land to build the prisons needed.

Speaking to Jon Snow with Camila Batmanghelidjh and Helena Kennedy during a talk on child sex abuse last night, she blamed the prevalence of pornography for the growth of an increasingly sexualised society.  (more...)

Wynne, Liberals steer us wrong on new sex ed curriculum

Michael Otis and his family have lived in Newmarket
for many years. He is a secondary school teacher
and enjoys reading and writing about moral issues
in the public square.

Kathleen Wynne and her government have clearly decided to tough out parental opposition to the updated health and physical education program.

In 2010, when Wynne, then minister of education, trotted out virtually the same program, parental outrage forced former premier Dalton McGuinty, then Wynne’s boss and leader of a minority government, to shelve it until a later date.

Now, assured of power until 2018, Wynne obviously believes that time has arrived.

Are parents justified in opposing the revised program? Its defenders claim children need timely information to navigate a hyper-sexualized culture and media.

Sex education, supporters also might add, has been a mainstay in Ontario’s schools for many years. Why all the hubbub over a few modernizing tweaks to a tried-and-true curriculum? ask the Wynne Liberals.

However, even a glance at the curriculum reveals a government single-mindedly committed to sexualizing children early.  (more...)

Scotland’s victims of institutional child abuse will be given a voice

Angela Constance

ANGELA Constance has vowed to give a voice to Scotland’s victims of institutional child abuse.

The Education Secretary said “dark secrets of the past” must be exposed after launching a huge probe into the issue.

On Thursday, Constance announced that QC Susan O’Brien will lead a four-year nationwide inquiry with power to compel organisations and individuals to participate.

O’Brien, who headed up the inquiry into the failings which led to the 2001 death of Edinburgh baby Caleb Ness by his own father, will hear testimony from victims abused while in care.

Cases will include those from church-run homes and residential schools such as St Ninian’s in Gartmore, Stirlingshire.  (more...)

Lord Brittan REFUSED to ban evil paedo ring

Ex-Cabinet minister Lord Brittan faced police probe

Lord Brittan, who died in January, was urged by campaigning MP Geoffrey Dickens to protect kids from “evil people” in the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). But documents seen by the Daily Star Sunday reveal former Tory MP Lord Brittan dismissed the idea of banning the group.

His comments were made during a meeting with Mr Dickens in November 1983. A separate letter from Mr Dickens to Lord Brittan shines more light on what top government offi cials knew about PIE’s sick activities.

The then Attorney General reportedly admitted some members were interested in murdering children through “sexual torture”. Campaigners expressed shock at the documents, released under Freedom of Information laws.

Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who led calls for an inquiry into historic abuse, said: “People will be left wondering why a Home Secretary would not want to ban an organisation clearly aimed at sexually abusing children.”  (more...)

Hague faces cover-up row over Thatcher ally's link to care home abuse scandal

William Hague is braced for criticism over an alleged cover-up in a paedophile scandal linked to a close ally of Margaret Thatcher.

An official report into the North Wales care homes scandal, in which up to 650 children were raped or assaulted in the Seventies and Eighties, is expected to drag in the former Cabinet Minister.

In 1996, as Welsh Secretary in John Major's Government, Hague ordered an inquiry. But after claims it let public figures off the hook, Home Secretary Theresa May called a fresh probe in 2012.

Whitehall sources anticipate that the new inquiry, due to be published this year, will accuse the Welsh Office of mishandling the issue.

It comes as evidence emerged suggesting Mr Hague was aware of the link between Tory MP Sir Peter Morrison (a former aide to Margaret Thatcher) and the scandal.  (more...)

Figure skating coach gets four-year sentence for sex abuse

A former figure skating coach was sentenced to four years in prison Friday for abusing two of his former star pupils.

Kevin Hicks, now 56, performed oral sex and kissed one victim — who cannot be named — after an evening of dining with several skating students in the spring of 1984. Two other similar episodes occurred later that year, one in Hicks’ apartment and the last at a skating rink, Justice Todd Ducharme said during the sentencing.

Hicks molested Brian Jessup once in his car, Ducharme found.

“I can live with a four-year sentence,” proclaimed Jessup, who lifted the publication ban on his identity last month as one of two sexual abuse victims — both male skaters — exploited by Hicks in the 1980s.  (more...)

Church Feminism Ascendant: Men Adrift

The Economist has a feature article on the state of blue collar men in developed countries: Men Adrift. It is good in its statement of facts.

Blue collar men are sinking in the economic scale and are becoming unemployable and unmarriageable. Their future in the new economy does not look good.

Although men dominate at the top of society, they also dominate at the bottom, which is far larger. There are a far more male prisoners than there are male CEO’s.  (more...)

Men Adrift

My advice: Find a woman from a society that has not been corrupted by cultural marxism and marry her, have children, and raise a family. Go into exile, as the Holy Family did into Egypt, and put as much distance between your family and the modern church as you can. Assume the role of spiritual head of your family and do not expose it to the predations of feminized and sodomized clergy and laity. Be your own community and church - the world cannot provide you nourishment; it is toxic. The church in the far east endured without a heirarchy for generations after its first evanglization. The west can follow its example, and re-emerge resplendant after the tribulation.

Levin – Is 3 Years Enough?

Disgraced educator, and previous deputy education minister Ben Levin, was sentenced to 3 years in jail.  His crimes have been well documented.  Possession of child porn, creating (written) child pornography and counselling someone to inflict a sexual act on a child.

Given that he only received 3 years, the Sun’s piece back on April 13 poses a very good question.  How sure are we that what Levin claims were “just fantasies”, stayed as fantasies? How certain can we be that it all existed only in his mind?

The piece makes a very good point that we are taking Levin at his word.  He claims that his online debauchery was solely fantasy, and never made it into reality. Those fantasies included bondage, rape and inflicting pain on young children.  (more...)

"You're Teaching My Child What?"

There have been so many parental protests against the sex "education" curriculum that is planned for Ontario schools for the coming school year 2015-16. Parents justly believe that the curriculum is not education but indoctrination, and so they reject the idea of having the state dictate to them family values and beliefs. They are battling to protect their children's innocence and from being sexualized in ways that are antithetical to their cultural standards and religious beliefs. To help parents get better informed on the issue we review Miriam Grossman's powerful book, You're teaching My Child What? She exposes the dangerous lies behind the push to fully accept comprehensive sex "education" in all schools and universities. Parents will learn much from this informative, shocking and timely book.

Former Catholic teacher admits to sex crimes against two students

EDMONTON - A former teacher at a Catholic junior high school admitted in court Friday he lured two teenage girls into sexual relationships in 2013.

Piotr Mariusz Zaloba, 29, pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including sexual contact with minors, luring children and child pornography offences. The students were 13 and 15 years old when the crimes occurred.

The relationship with the 13-year-old began in January 2013 when she mentioned to Zaloba that she didn’t like kissing her boyfriend.

“The accused began texting her about kissing him and telling her how she would like his kissing,” Crown prosecutor Diane Hollinshead told court.  (more...)

Three year sentence brings sad, sickening end to onetime education superstar

Ben Levin, former Ontario Deputy Education Minister pleaded guilty to
child pornography charges earlier this spring.

It is a common enough scene in the criminal courts, and not without its own special heartbreak.

An accused person, the long judicial process over at last and no more stalling possible, is formally sentenced, and as he is led off to jail, hands cuffed behind his back, he scans the seats for final glimpses of familiar faces and the world as he once knew it.

But Friday, at a suburban Toronto courthouse located in a strip mall, the handcuffed man was one of Canadian education’s highest flyers and biggest stars and the exit from courtroom 304 was the denouement to an unprecedented fall from grace.

Ben Levin, a former deputy education minister in two provinces, former member of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s transition team and a global expert in childhood learning, was sentenced to three years in prison Friday by Ontario Court Judge Heather McArthur.  (more...)

Methodist Church in Britain apologises for 'grief and shame' in failing to protect children

The Rev Paul Flowers, left, and the late Liberal Democrat MP Cyril Smith

The Methodist Church yesterday made an ‘unreserved’ public apology for failing to protect children and vulnerable adults after an investigation uncovered nearly 2,000 cases of abuse within the institution.

The independent inquiry revealed 1,885 cases of alleged abuse linked to the church in Britain, the largest proportion of which were of a sexual nature, dating back to the 1950s.

The 100-page report also disclosed that many serving church ministers and staff helped to protect colleagues who carried out abuse.

One case concerned the grooming of teenage girls on Facebook while another involved a minister allegedly making sexual advances to children. Methodist general secretary, the Rev Dr Martyn Atkins, said the cases of abuse would remain ‘a deep source of grief and shame to the church’.  (more...)

Same-sex “Marriage” and the Persecution of Christians in Canada

Canada legalized same-sex “marriage” in 2005, the fourth country in the world to do so. During the rushed public debate that preceded legalization, the Christian and traditional understanding of marriage as the union of a man and a woman had strong support. Polls showed a deep split among Canadians, and the majority (52 percent) were actually against legalization at the time that it occurred.

Opponents of same-sex “marriage” were given all kinds of assurances. The preamble to the Civil Marriage Act states that “everyone has the freedom of conscience and religion,” “nothing in this Act affects the guarantee of freedom of conscience and religion and, in particular, the freedom of members of religious groups to hold and declare their religious beliefs,” and “it is not against the public interest to hold and publicly express diverse views on marriage.”

But how quickly things change. Since the watershed moment of legalization, Canadian social norms have shifted rapidly, and what was once considered fringe or debateable has become the new normal.

Today, different opinions on “gender identity” and same-sex “marriage” are no longer tolerated. Our society is sweeping away respect for religious faiths that do not accept and celebrate same-sex “marriage,” and the Civil Marriage Act’s assurances seem merely farcical. It is not premature to speak of open discrimination against Christians in Canada.  (more...)

The union representing Ontario high school teachers says its members will resume strike action on June 10. However, provincial Education Minister Liz Sandals says legislation will prevent that from happening.

In her 14 years of school, Alexi Halket has never been suspended or expelled. Up until this week, the Grade 12 student hadn’t even seen the inside of her principal’s office.

All that changed when the Etobicoke School of the Arts student dressed for class on Monday, choosing to bare her midriff with a sleeveless, turquoise and black patterned crop top.

The shirt, she was told by a vice-principal, who pulled her into the office, was “too inappropriate and looked too much like a bra.”

Halket disagreed, and when she stormed out of a 90-minute meeting about her attire she did so with a plan that spread like wildfire over social media that evening.

By Tuesday, Halket’s 18th birthday, it had trickled down to hundreds of young women across the GTA, who made their way to class dressed in crop tops of their own emblazoned with messages fighting dress codes, which they say unfairly target females.  (more...)

Boyluv OK for teachers? Saskatchewan teacher found not guilty of sexually exploiting teenage boy

A Saskatoon judge says it was "bad judgment" for a substitute teacher to have sex with a former high school student – but the relationship was not criminal.

“Once she ceased to be his teacher, it was (the complainant) who controlled their relationship. This was not difficult for him to do because Ms. Osmond had become so pliant that she offered almost no resistance to his suggestions,” Currie wrote.

“Nor had Ms. Osmond groomed (the complainant) for a sexual relationship. Their close relationship while she was his teacher was something that she fell into through her own weakness and bad judgment.”  (more...)

Parents Protest Sexualization Of Children

(WINDSOR, ON) – Windsor parents gathered at Charles Clark Square on Saturday to continue their opposition of the Ontario Liberal government’s plan to implement a new sex education curriculum in September. Over 200 persons from all walks of life assembled to listen to seven speakers who raised issues with the proposed educational program.

This fall, the government intends on introducing a revamped sex ed curriculum for grades 1 through 8. Many in Windsor, and the province as a whole, have taken exception to the new subject matter.

The new curriculum advances the age at which various topics are discussed in class. Students will receive instruction in anatomy, including reproductive organs, in grade 1 while gender identity will be addressed in grade 3. Teachers instructing grad 5 students will cover the reproductive system, intercourse, and menstruation.

At the root of the demonstrations against the Liberal’s remodelling of the sex ed curriculum are certain rumours that are circulating within the community. These rumours include that the curriculum causes gender confusion in grade 1 by listing six genders and 52 sexual orientations, that children will be exposed to pornography, and that children should ignore parents as educators, to name just a few.  (more...)

Verdict expected in sexual exploitation trial

A substitute high school teacher who admits having sex with her former student could learn today whether the relationship was illegal.

Justice Grant Currie is scheduled to release his verdict in the Saskatoon Queen's Bench Court trial of Erin Osmond, who was charged with two counts of sexual exploitation after a then-16-year-old complainant told RCMP he had sex with her on four occasions between March and April of 2013.

The charge of sexual exploitation requires the Crown to prove the accused held a position of trust or authority toward a young person aged 16 to 18. The complainant's identity is protected by a publication ban.

Crown and defence lawyers argued over whether or not Osmond, now 29, was still in a position of trust or authority over the teen boy during the physical relationship, because the substitute teacher was no longer working at their Watrous high school when the sex took place.  (more...)

Jesus Christ Superstar: Anti-Christ?

Slater and Gordon Lawyers have received details of serious allegations of abuse at St John’s School in Leatherhead, Surrey.

The allegations concern a former music teacher, Malcolm Henderson, who taught at St John’s in the mid-1970s. It is also thought that Henderson taught at other leading schools in South West London throughout his career.

It is understood that the alleged victim of abuse by Henderson reported the matter to the police in 2012, and that allegations were about to be put to Henderson when he died suddenly.

Henderson is thought to have worked closely with Alan Doggett, former Head of Music at St Paul’s School in Barnes, London.

Alan Doggett committed suicide in 1978, only hours after appearing at West London Magistrates Court, charged with the indecent assault of a 10-year-old boy.

Both Henderson and Doggett worked together on the production of the Jesus Christ Superstar album, released in 1970. (more...)

Paedophile Mason ran lodge set up for GCHQ

Arrivals at the new GCHQ established the lodge

Keith Harding, former membership secretary of the Paedophile Information Exchange (Pie) was made Worshipful Master of the Mercurius Lodge in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in 2011.

The child molester, who died last summer, presided over ceremonies and rituals from an ornate throne.

Harding was convicted of an indecent assault against four children aged eight and nine in 1958 and classified a Schedule-1 offender, which meant the offence remained on his criminal record all his life.

His name was also on a list of about 400 Pie members seized by police in 1984, the year the organisation disbanded.

The Sunday Express revealed earlier this month how Harding met MPs Cyril Smith and Leon Brittan in the 1980s when he ran a north London antiques store.

Thirty-five years ago he appeared alongside paedophile television presenter Jimmy Savile in a Christmas special of Jim’ll Fix It.

The lodge boasts of its Government Communications Headquarters heritage on its website.

A source close to Harding revealed: “The Mercurius Lodge is known as the Spies Lodge because it was set up by GCHQ and over the years many intelligence officers have become members.

“These are people trained to find out sensitive information and yet none of them had any idea of Keith’s background and past convictions.

“They even voted him the highest honour by making him Worshipful Master.

“Keith felt the Freemasons were somewhere he finally belonged, he called them his “brotherhood”.  (more...)
