A few weeks ago I shared some information for parents to
protect their children. The issue was human sex trafficking. We were made aware of warning signs
that a child is being groomed, to be led into the hands of the traffickers.
There are steps in recruitment, what we could call grooming:
1. Befriend—to
get the target to see the groomer as someone to trust.
2. Intoxicate—to
cause inability to think clearly combined with causing friction at home.
3. Alienate—to
drive a wedge between target and family and their core values.
4. Isolate—to
separate the target from old friends who held their original core values.
5. Desensitize—to
confuse the target’s moral compass, making the previously unthinkable seem
common or even normal.
6. Capitalize—to
take the target into control by the groomer, and subject to sex slavery.

As a follow-up, here’s a piece warning parents of the apps
the predators are using.
This is a scary scenario, and pretty horrifying for a
parent. I think we do need to be
vigilant. But I think the danger is larger than recruitment into human trafficking,
which, while unbelievably too common, is still comparatively rare.
I don’t mean to diminish the meaning. But I believe the
methodology—grooming—is being used in a broader attempt to recruit a generation
into an alternate reality, with an alternate morality and behaviors.
These things are so serious, it helps to be able to keep a
sense of humor. So let’s start with yesterday’s Andrew Klavan Show intro. He begins
each episode with a monologue in the form of a news report parody, like this:
Leftist scientists working around the clock have developed
powerful new tools for altering reality. In a speech to the Society for the Promulgation
of Irrational Hysteria, left-wing physicist Dr. Geraldo Von Zippity-Noodle told
the gathering of empty chairs he can now confirm that writing a statement five
times over in all capital letters and posting it on Twitter transforms that
statement, no matter how absurd, into the truth.
In an experiment that has been reduplicated in multiple
peer-reviewed imaginations, scientists posted the words “TRANS-WOMEN ARE WOMEN”
five times in all caps on their Twitter feeds, and discovered from that time
forth men who wore dresses not only became real women, but were actually able
to conceive and bear children, if no one looked too closely.
In a transcript of the speech, released through UCLA’s office
of Collecting Undeserved Paychecks by Repeatedly Using the Word Diversity, Dr.
Von Zippety-Noodle said, “The key to changing reality through repetitive
Twitter capitalization, or RTC, is to ensure that no one damages the results by
demanding proof or using such phrases as ‘nonsense’ or ‘applesauce’ or uttering
‘complete horse manure of the purest ray serene.’[i]
If people using such words can be banned from Twitter, or silenced through
intimidation, then the proper reality change can take place undisturbed. Or, if
not, who is there to say?”

That's somewhere around step 5, desensitizing. Disorienting. Claiming an alternate truth so often and so
firmly that sensible people begin to question their long-held grasp on reality.
This disorienting comes easier if there’s already been some unmooring
from the family and the core beliefs inculcated within (step 3, alienating), and from friends who
went along with those core values (step 4, isolating).
This step has been underway for quite a while. Things that
seemed unthinkable in 1950 or 1960 were mainstreamed—in media, academia, and
then in politics, which is downstream from culture.
Consider a few recent stories.
In this one, a British priest/teacher at a school in Essex
was castigated for considering the feelings of any child but the boy/girl with
gender dysphoria: “Priest Resigned Post Over Children Being ‘Sacrificed on the Altar of Trans-Ideology’”
The school in Essex, which has not been named in reports to
protect the privacy of the children and families, had a pupil who, at just
eight years old, was looking to transition from a boy to a girl, British
newspaper the Mail on Sunday
reported. Reverend Parker said he supported the child’s transition but wanted
to inform parents of other pupils in order to ensure the safety of everyone at
the school and to address any concerns about the child using the girls’
toilets.
It was not enough that he supported the transitioning child;
he had to also dismiss any concerns surrounding the situation. The school’s
governor and church leaders told him to shut up. So he left.
In Brazil—as attempted in the US with the recent Equality
Act, which passed in the House—disagreeing with the LGBT agenda is being made a
crime: “Brazil's supreme court votes to make homophobia and transphobia crimes.”
Racism was made a crime in Brazil in 1989 with prison
sentences of up to five years. The court's judges ruled that homophobia should
be framed within the racism law until the country's congress approves
legislation specifically covering LGBT discrimination.
Brazil's Senate is dealing with a bill to criminalize
discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender with sentences of up to
five years.
Meanwhile, as women and girls express their fears—not necessarily
of transgenders, but of predators using the opportunity to victimize—actual cases
continue appearing: “Man who says he’s ‘female’ enters women’s bathroom, sexually assaults 10-year-old girl.” The story offers this commentary:
Decades after feminism swept the West, transgender rights
have now formally replaced women’s rights as the emerging ideology of gender
fluidity wipes out any formal conception of what a “woman” is to begin with.
Women and girls who feel unsafe when biological males enter
spaces once reserved for females only are being essentially told that they are
transphobic and that they should shut up.
And this:
Any discomfort expressed by women themselves is condemned as
bigotry. And this system is impervious to questioning: It is not only
transphobic to ask whether some spaces should be limited to biological females
for the purposes of safety, it is also transphobic to ask any follow-up
questions about this. The transgender community, apparently, is a uniformly
perfect group, utterly without sin and lacking any nefarious members
whatsoever. I suppose if you can believe a woman has a penis, you can believe
anything.
If you’re recruiting, why not start young? It’s hard to know
whether this next story is about a really, really stupid teacher or a purposeful
groomer: “'He Feels Confused': Parents Sue After Teacher Repeatedly Asks 8-Year-Old if He's Trans.” In
this case, an 8-year-old had digestive problems, which were accommodated by
allowing him to use a different restroom (I think I read in a related story was the teachers’).
His teacher, instead of asking why this arrangement had been made, surmised
that he had gender dysphoria, and singled him out multiple times to ask him if
he thought he was really a girl, and gave him books to read that would lead to
that conclusion. The books in his backpack were how the parents found out. The
boy was very confused, and required some to deal with the trauma the
teacher caused him. The family sued, rightfully.
Note here that the boy wasn’t confused before the teacher
repeatedly and somewhat forcefully implanted the idea of gender dysphoria. In
other words, the pressure to put this information in early grades, supposedly
to get kids used to the existence of people with gender dysphoria so that there
will be greater understanding and acceptance, is really recruiting, or grooming:
separating the child from the parents’ core values, making shocking
abnormalities seem normal, claiming a lie loudly and boldly enough that sane
people begin to question reality. It’s a horrible thing to do to vulnerable
children.
There was a story a few months ago, from here in Houston, about drag queens reading to small children in Houston city libraries. Here's additional commentary on that story: “DragQueen Who Read to Kids at Houston Library Is Convicted Pedophile.” Eventually,
a second sexual predator was found reading to kids. The library said, “Sorry,”
but not really sorry. After all, it was for the greater good of indoctrinating
kids to be more tolerant and accepting. Chris Sevier, of MassResistance, the parent group
that did their own research, leading to the discoveries, when the city refused to, said,
“It’s not about acceptance, love and tolerance. It’s really
about indoctrinating children to the ideals of secular humanism.”
A week ago, Jordan Peterson, on his weekly podcast,
interviewed provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. I didn’t know much about
Yiannopoulos before. I remember a couple of years ago he was invited to speak
at C-PAC. But I don’t give a lot of heed to people who say something
anti-leftist and are suddenly given a platform as a conservative. Let time
settle any questions.

It was an interesting interview. He’s unpleasantly
in-your-face accusatory at times, and overly certain of his own brilliance and
talent. OK. Anyway, I knew so little about him that I didn’t know he was gay or that he had suffered a media downfall because of a comment he made about
younger gay males being brought in by older gay males; that had happened to
him, but he said it was consensual, which he said he believed it often is. What he
realizes now, slightly older, is that for him at his age to do the same to a
young teen male would be predatory and wrong. It happens; everyone in the gay
community knows it and recognizes it. But he only now, with a little more
maturity, sees that he had been preyed upon. He was punished for saying what he
said, but I think a sensible onlooker would have looked at the scenario and thought,
“Oh, he doesn’t yet realize what happened to him.”
Another piece I came upon makes the pedophile/homosexuality
connection: "Pedophilia and homosexuality–an undeniable connection." This is an opinion piece, originally written in Croatian, I believe, so there
are syntax issues. But I’ve done the math before and gotten similar results.
The author (I can’t find an author or date on the piece) posits that many gay
men prey upon boys who were the age of their own first encounter.
The LGBT agenda isn’t the whole story. But it’s a good
example of grooming. Review this piece on the Yogyakarta Principles: “Ten Years of International Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws: Lessons Learned,” by Daniel Moody.
You can add abortion to the list of disorienting realities
being called good. We need to end with something a little light-hearted, to
give us strength. Thanks again to The
Babylon Bee, for their “news” story: “DisneyCEO: 'To Avoid Filming Among Depraved, Immoral People, We Are Moving All OurGeorgia Operations Back To Hollywood.'” Because Georgia passed
anti-abortion laws:
"To avoid filming among depraved, immoral people, we are
moving all our Georgia operations back to Hollywood," [Disney CEO Bob
Iger] said in a press conference, wagging his finger sternly. "The people
of Georgia can't pass immoral, unjust laws like this and expect us righteous
elites in Hollywood to stand by and let it happen. Morality is very important
to us in the film industry. That's why we film a lot of our stuff here in
Hollywood, where we can rest easy knowing that the money from our production is
going to support moral, upright people."
"It's the right thing to do," he added.
Iger also pointed out that California's lax abortion laws
come in handy in Hollywood quite often.
Questions I have at this point are, who is doing the grooming,
and what is their goal?
In a religious context, the simplest answer is that Satan is
grooming as many people as possible—and concentrating on the young—to accept as
“real” and “good” things that are false and evil, so that he can ruin as many lives as he can. Science and natural law are
on the side of real and good. That’s why the “groomers” make sure the real and
good are shouted down—in all caps. With claims of being “for tolerance and
against bigotry,” while being intolerant and bigoted—adding force of law
whenever possible.
Keep your children close. Don’t trust them to schools,
entertainments, academia, or anyone who has already fallen prey to the false
and evil; those people are patiently doing their work as groomers.
