Let me address one particular bit of idiocy that people continue to throw at me.
I am all for rescuing everyone from slavery. Child trafficking is particularly nasty; it's hard to be more egregiously wicked than that. By all means, let's do what we can to rescue those kids. But know this: Nothing in this world will prevent people becoming that perverted and bent out of shape. All the more so when the roots of this evil are part of the fabric of Western Civilization. At no time in human history was the threat to childhood greater than it has been since the birth of the West.
If you want so badly to defend childhood innocence, then make sure you invest heavily in destroying Western Civilization.
Meanwhile, once an image of child sexual abuse exists, you cannot put that genie back into the bottle. You cannot reach out your hand and remove that image. It's not a question of reducing the future threat to children. People seeing those images might, indeed, be more likely to indulge in that kind of abuse themselves, but that's simply not proved. All you have is a supposition. Your panic is not the basis for action. Stopping the images from existing and being traded is utterly impossible; it was impossible before the Internet existed.
If the issue is helping children, then focus on the children. Focus on building a resilience in society that protects them from such a thing. Try stopping the trends that sexualize children in advertising images. Try stopping the social structures that spawn so many perverts in the first place. The Bible itself says that sin cannot be banished from this world; you can only keep yourself from it. You cannot keep other humans from sin. But we do have a mandate to protect the children under our covering. You cannot pretend to protect children as a matter of principle. There are no children living in your principles; principles are only in your head. There are children living under your actual covering; moral covering is very real.
The Word of God says that you cannot save anything that He didn't put in your hands. If you live here in America, there is nothing you can do to prevent the rape of children in some other part of the world. Get real, folks. It's happening and will continue to happen until Christ returns. You can protect the children in your care. Getting worked up about children you don't know is morally false. It's a lie of Satan meant to distract you from the few things you can do.
Do you understand one of the most diabolical tricks Satan has taught his lackeys? For example, when a passenger aircraft is hijacked, one of the first things terrorists do is beat up a helpless elderly woman in front of everyone. That's supposed to provoke the White Knight impulse in western men, so that anyone inclined to resist the terrorist demands will self-identify and be shot. That way, it cuts down the risk the terrorists face for the duration of the situation.
Counter-terror operatives know this stuff. They know what's coming and steel themselves to endure the shock of seeing the helpless being abused. Non-western men don't usually suffer this instinct, so terrorists hijack only those aircraft full of westerners. Westerners are peculiar about certain things. The current law enforcement methods being used by US federal law enforcement are rooted in that same western instinct to do something -- anything -- to get rid of the images of the helpless being abused.
If you want to stop evil, you have to focus on what God has put in your hands. I've worked in law enforcement. Do you understand that those same federal agents never go after someone working in government who belongs to the ruling class? They'll pick on bureaucrats who fall out of favor, but our government is run by pedophiles. Many of the top law enforcement agency executives are pedophiles, or indulge in any number of other vile vices. They don't usually take pictures of themselves engaging in child sexual abuse, but then again, we have dummies like Hunter Biden who get a serious case of the stupids. This is how we know that it's a problem in government. How many big shot laptops have more incriminating evidence than his?
Get real, folks. What can you actually do? Law enforcement is a huge mess of privileged people slapping down little people for daring to indulge in the same pleasures as the ruling class. All those private NGOs promoting prosecution of CSAM are simply feeding the beast. Go ahead and support the rescue missions; that's a good thing. But make sure they aren't just posturing and trying to deceive folks about what they are actually doing. And if you take the time to learn about what actually works, then filter out the groups pursuing strategies that fail. But there's nothing wrong with the rescue operations that shut down child prostitution.
If you really want to help, learn something about the process of spiritual and emotional healing that the victims need. Pray for gifts of the Holy Spirit that will enable you to recognize how you can treat the damage Satan does to souls. That stuff comes in all flavors, and it's a fundamental element in why churches exist.
Trying to stop the trading of CSAM is pointless. Worse, it will guarantee that the gospel message is censored. Do you think the censors really give a damn about your concerns? They want power, power to shut down everyone they don't like, and that includes an awful lot of people you do like. The censors don't represent us; they have their own agenda. You cannot empower censorship without empowering Satan.
