Globalist entities that are dens of sex abuse

By Megan Toombs Kinard

Revelations of sexual abuse and harassment are being printed a mile a minute, and it's all utterly depraved and terrible. But outside of my horror at the hurt experienced by victims, and the impunity with which abusers have continued their reigns of terror, my brain just keeps saying, "Well, duh."

Surely no one was surprised with the Harvey Weinstein "bombshell." And surely no one is surprised at the term "casting couch" and what that means for attractive women and – let's be real – attractive young men and boys. It's horrible. It's disgusting. And it's totally unsurprising.

Kudos to those making the world acknowledge what most people already knew.

Sexual harassment, abuse and rape are alive and well in this world. Those with power often abuse it, and in places like Hollywood, where morality is utterly ignored, that abuse is rampant.

But it isn't just Hollywood. Sexual harassment and abuse are everywhere – and it's important to acknowledge that it's not just women being abused. And it's not just in places like Hollywood.

Harassment and abuse exist in places of altruistic ideologues like the Peace Corps.

Rachel Lu recently wrote an article in National Review about her time of service, and how it was the only place where she expected to receive a bag of condoms every time she checked in for a conference.

As Lu puts it, "Libertinism was a convenient solution to one managerial problem: the need to prevent American testosterone from spilling over into an international incident. It didn't exactly make for a pleasant professional environment for a young woman."

I would think not.

And as the Bonn climate talks are currently ongoing, now is a good time to mention a revelation (that is surely not very revelatory to anyone who thinks about it) of the sexual harassment and abuse that goes on during climate negotiations.

This week two women, Farhana Yamin and Meera Ghani, wrote in Climate Change News about their experiences within the climate movement and the persistent, endemic culture of trivialization, harassment and abuse of women.

Read their articles. The stories they tell are disturbing and shameful.

But sadly unsurprising.

Millions of people look up to these august groups, these famous Hollywood elites, the Peace Corp and the U.N.. And instead of being the role models they claim to be, they have marginalized their more vulnerable members, allowed abuse, turned a blind eye and done nothing.

The hypocrisy is nauseating.

In Hollywood, elites claim moral superiority all the time in the media. Just think of their horror at Donald Trump's sexist comments. They lambast people with opposing viewpoints, claim to support the rights of women and give millions of dollars to charity. And yet when evil is in their midst, they ignore it. They cover it up. And they have done so for years.

The Peace Corps is supposed to be a light to the world, not a den of sexual immorality and abuse. The government itself is promoting sexual promiscuity, creating an environment hostile to women, and I'm sure also to men who do not wish to participate in that type of behavior.

And yet, I'm still not really surprised. Evil people are everywhere, and they will abuse their power if good people stay silent.

And then we have maybe the most hypocritical of all. The United Nations, and even worse, the U.N.'s climate conferences.

These people are claiming to save the world, after all!

"The damage from climate change is catastrophic," they say – and they are going to save us all.

Oh, and, by the way, while they're at it they'll abuse, harass and mistreat the women with whom they work.

What hypocrisy!

But why should we expect anything less from people who support women's "rights" to murder their own children and who support forced sterilization and abortion in the name of population control?

The hypocrisy is real. The horrors are real. And people have known this goes on for years. Even the outrage is hypocritical.

But hypocritical or not, now is the time to take that outrage and turn it to good.

We must take a stand against this vile behavior.

If you see abuse going on around you, do something about it. Victims often can't stand up for themselves. Don't sit in silence any longer. Don't role your eyes. Don't be complicit. Do something – if illegal, inform the authorities, if inappropriate, say so, and in either case urge the victim to do likewise, though always remembering to keep the victim's safety in mind.
