Pedophile’s V.E.R.Y. Serious Agenda for Vermont

Last week’s M.A.P. Camp incident raised the ire of Vermonters who rightly feel threatened on behalf of children.  As a result the exposure has led to even more disturbing discoveries about the intentions of these would be wolves in sheep’s clothing. After hearing from MAP Union we went to their site only to find they have a stated 2025 agenda they say they are V.E.R.Y. serious about.  A synopsis of it is:

• Visibility – aiming to “combat stigma”, create “value-neutral language” and “hold public education campaigns”
• Equality – requiring “the same protected status other communities benefit from including freedom of association”
• Reform  – changing laws to allow “fictional sexual content” and “abolish sex offender registries”
• Youth – intending to  “broaden rights for Minors and Youth in line with their evolving capacities”, “opposing ageism”, “increase youth agency and autonomy”, and “ensuring youth are heard at every stage of the social/political process”

These bold aims give you some idea of what the next year may look like, so the question is what should be done about it here in Vermont?  Rather than remain in stunned recoil at the thought, the very obvious strategy is to aim for the exact opposite of their stated goals. 

If their aim is visibility by combating stigma, creating value neutral language and holding public education campaigns then Vermonters should unabashedly continue to rightfully stigmatize it for the criminal behavior it is, refuse to adopt neutralizing language like MAPs when the proper term is pedophiles and educate the public on the harm they cause and will always cause because they want to have sex with children – one of the most traumatizing things one can do to a child.

Equality is not something to be obtained when the goal is criminality.  We are not criminals therefore we are not equal.  Also, attempting to adopt the title “community” implies a holistic acceptance in society.  This manipulation of vocabulary wants to manufacture acceptance and imply harmlessness when the reality is and will always be a community who wants adults to be able to have sexual access to children. Citing “freedom of association” implies they don’t already enjoy the basic rights of others – they do.  The right they don’t enjoy, and never should, is that of acting out their stated sexual attraction to minors. 

Of course they must reform existing laws and opinions in order to gain ground toward their ultimate goal – access to children.  In typical Fabian socialist incremental fashion they will try to win any small victory they can by using America’s liberalist values against her.  Constitutional laws, rights, and representation intended for, as John Adams stated, “a moral and religious people and suitable for no other” will be targeted to include an immoral and irreligious people such as pedophiles.  This is a tactic and will be successful without the voice of We the people publicly denouncing it to our representatives, with laws that stiffen public sentiment against pedophilia, which is our right.  Do not be silent and wait for others to do your talking for you.  Why?  If they can get sexual images of children and/or dolls approved as their necessary “outlet” pretending it will lead to less incidence rather than more, while also eliminating sex offender registries intended to help parents and neighbors guard their children, you will see an explosion in child sex offenses.

Their final vector of change is to use youth themselves to open the door to this invasion.  Citing rights of consent by youth and imaginary terms like “evolving capacities” they move the goal posts outward from each side offering themselves a wide berth of entry.  At one side they push the boundary by stating MAPs are teens attracted to younger teens or adolescence – what’s the big deal?  At the other they say children have evolving capacities so the immature ten or twelve year old of yester-year has magically developed new powers of reasoning, responsibility and thus consent.  None of which is true but all of which is linguistic legerdemain wishing to, again, allow pedophiles into polite society to have sex with your children.  Period.

How far have they come?  Shockingly a number of studies are listed on the B4U-ACT website.  B4U-ACT likewise portrays itself as rehabilitative in messaging however the net effect is to sympathize, and thus normalize, child predators.  Just two studies say as much:

The page lists twenty-four studies in all, most of which seem to violate scientific ethics by stating explicitly the goal of the study is to create research that supports pedophilia as non-criminal behavior. 

A couple observations reveal most of the studies are being conducted by female doctoral students rather than teams of medical experts with the requisite experience and appropriate concern regarding pedophilia as criminal behavior.  This is by design as young female, likely childless, doctoral students are easily persuaded to engage with compassion rather than revulsion.  This new generation is likely incentivized to take the angle that this marginalized group needs heard thanks to years in public school being told to be a voice for the LGBTQ+ marginalized.  What’s one more barrier to break through for social justice right? 

Here again counter-activism is critical.  Reach out to these institutions and excoriate their soft-pedaling child sexual abuse in hopes of making it socially acceptable by telling them it’s unacceptable.  Research funds should not be put into finding ways to make pedophiles feel comfortable with their predilection.  Ever. 

A modicum of sympathy is needed for these people as most of them were likely abused as children, however the redeeming arc that leads to healing is not through de-criminalizing, reform and de-stigmatizing.  It’s through helping them work through their own trauma in a concrete way that serves to keep them from traumatizing children who then go on to continue the cycle of abuse.
