This cancer has been in our "power class" for a very long time:

The Franklin Scandal has been posted on this site now many times. Yet it can never be too many. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtstlx96s8M

With each iteration, it grows bigger and more established. Politics, Science, Corporate, Education, Religion. All are now thoroughly corrupted through sexual blackmail.

The only environment in which this subject is going to receive open, unfettered investigation is one where the current power structure ceases to have the power to stop it. When that authority is gone, there will likely be chaos. Personally, I would view that chaos as the birthing pain toward genuine individual liberty once again taking root, but we cannot be naive. Chaos comes with very nasty side-effects.

This cancer has destroyed (and continues to destroy) major amounts of healthy tissue in our societal body. We will never be healthy until it is addressed. The pain of addressing it will be tremendously painful as well, however. I expect all of us would discover we are somehow connected to some of the people on lists like this, depending how wide the net is cast. We need to be prepared for that.
