Unless a thoroughgoing perestroika is carried out in the West and the psychopaths infesting all spheres of public life and social influence are locked up and the keys are forever thrown away, prisons and asylums will soon be filled with decent people, conscientious whistle-blowers and moral heroes such as the makers of the “Sound of freedom.”

Reminds me of an old Twilight Zone where a female patient's face was completely wrapped in bandages following reconstructive surgery. When the bandages were removed she was beautiful but she screamed as she looked in the mirror - why became clear when they finally showed the faces of the doctors and nurses.

Eye of the Beholder, one of the greats.

Ever come across the human hybrid theory ? The theory is that at some time a wild (male) boar mated with a (female) chimpanzee, which produced a hybrid and then, with a lot of backcrossing (further mating with chimps), a new species arose (humans).

Dr. Eugene McCarthy is a Ph.D. geneticist who has made a career out of studying hybridization in animals. He now curates a biological information website called Macroevolution.net where he has amassed an impressive body of evidence suggesting that human origins can be best explained by hybridization between pigs and chimpanzees. Extraordinary theories require extraordinary evidence and McCarthy does not disappoint. Rather than relying on genetic sequence comparisons, he instead offers extensive anatomical comparisons, each of which may be individually assailable, but startling when taken together. Why weren't these conclusions arrived at much sooner? McCarthy suggests it is because of an over-dependence on genetic data among biologists. He argues that humans are probably the result of multiple generations of backcrossing to chimpanzees, which in nucleotide sequence data comparisons would effectively mask any contribution from pig.

Ha, I've just scanned the text file of that short story and see that the doctor in the story is making a similar argument. Nice connection.

I suspect it's why there's a cultural/religious taboo against eating pork. Because others have made the connection before too.

On the other hand... pigs love bacon.

Trichinosis also may have something to do with it.

:) I got all the original seasons on bluray when they started editing movies... I think it was the E.T. edit that panicked me.

Excerpt:

The opinion dictators’ unhinged reaction to the newly released film “Sound of Freedom” highlights a seeming paradox. It is that in the presumed epicentre of global civilisation and humanistic values, loathing for and condemnation of the kidnapping and enslavement of children is shown to be neither automatic nor unanimous. There is nothing paradoxical about it, however. The inner logic this follows is impeccable. It may only be a matter of time, perhaps not even too long, before child rapists are extolled and motherhood, cherry pie, and all the other emblems of traditional purity shall be openly pilloried and their upholders mercilessly excoriated, possibly even persecuted.

As recently as two or three decades ago politicians and other public figures would have been competing to garner political brownie points by pretending to identify with the social outrage...This time around however nothing of the sort is taking place. Politicians, religious and cultural leaders, and public figures of most diverse profiles from whom a reaction should naturally be expected, have remained totally and conspicuously silent regarding a matter of the highest public concern and an outrage of extraordinary magnitude.

What does that tell us about the condition of the society where this is possible?

It tells us at least two things. First, that there is an unbridgeable moral chasm separating the rulers from their subjects...The nomenklatura no longer feel the need to even feign commonality of values with the masses they deceitfully rule.

The other thing this tells us about the ruling elite is that what has long been suspected of their utter degeneracy most likely is true...Child trafficking and exploitation, including blood sacrifice, reaches into the highest levels of authority, both secular and religious. They are the ultimate consumers of the horrors depicted in the “Sound of Freedom.” The expectation that those circles would do anything about it other than cover it up is therefore naïve and unrealistic.

The euphemistic white-washing in public discourse of this particularly heinous variety of perversion, by relabelling its criminal protagonists innocuous “minor attracted adults,” gives the game away. There is an ongoing systematic effort to normalise the abhorrent and to promote it as a regular and accepted feature of everyday life.
