DUE to illness, I can’t post much today, but I want to say a few words about the repulsive Milo Yiannopoulos, a major celebrity in the Trump Cult. I will refrain from posting Yiannopoulos’s Cooler-Than-Thou visage. It is all over the Internet and news already. If you are not familiar with why this political performance artist and false opposition figure is in the news this week, you can catch up here.

Yiannopoulos is a change agent who, like Trump himself, receives substantial financial backing from powerful people.  How do we know the former is well-funded, aside from his already extensive visibility and the gobs of free publicity he has received for quite a while? Immediately after his resignation from the website Breitbart, Yiannopoulos announced that he would be starting his own news platform and had another publisher (Simon and Schuster canceled) already lined up for his new book. Wow! That’s quite an instantaneous comeback for someone who has been nationally disgraced by his comments about adolescents and pedophiles. Seems that he was prepared for this orchestrated controversy to happen, doesn’t it? That suggests planning.

Secondly, no well-funded celebrity in sleazy America should be wholly trusted. Everything Yiannopoulos says about his past should be taken with serious skepticism. That includes his claim to having been abused by a priest and the claim that he is Catholic.

Finally, in his comments about pedophilia, Yiannopoulos advanced the agenda, rather than detracted from it. Mission accomplished. First the idea of overthrowing the moral law is broached — and then the hard work of bringing social approval and legal changes can proceed. You will hear much more about man/boy love and how adolescents should be free to consent in the near future. The unthinkable has become thinkable again and again.

Like Trump, Yiannopoulos is busily involved in the project to destroy the surviving Christian roots of American nationalism. All publicity is good publicity for this ongoing mission.

Milo’s name is YiannopOULOS

Second, I think, to a large extent, he’s being railroaded – for what was admitted was misrepresented by the howling wolves of the mainstream media. He has explained his position.

I think we maybe should give the man a chance.

I have some friends who are gay (one who was a high-school friend and went on to play G.B. Shaw! and other wonderful plays) and am sympathetic to their often difficult lives.

Thanks for the correction. I have not been feeling well, and needed a copy editor yesterday.

What do you mean give the man a chance? He has all the chance in the world to withdraw from public view and stop promoting himself. He sets a very poor example in a number of ways and it is shocking that “conservatives” support him.

All people suffer and have to fight against their passions to live a normal life. Some suffer more than others. Those who through no fault of their own, perhaps because they were abused as a child, have desires for same-sex relations deserve great compassion and help. Their struggles can be very difficult, especially in a world that applauds sexual decadence and especially if they have been abused as children. But they aren’t the only people in the world who have it tough, you know. There is help out there for them if they seek it. There are groups of former homosexuals willing and able to offer their help because they know how destructive that life is. And God never gives anyone more suffering than he can endure.

Though he protests that he does not support pedophilia, Milo is indeed promoting it. Even in his apology, he defended relationships between older men and teenagers. His ongoing, public identification as a “Dangerous Faggot” promotes it because homosexual culture involves these relationships.

You write:

What you are saying is similar to someone saying,

“I have some friends who are alcoholics. They do great things and I am sympathetic to their difficult lives,” or “I have some friends who cheat on their wives. They do great things in their careers and I am sympathetic to their struggles.” So what? What’s your point? Alcoholics do indeed suffer because of alcoholism. Adulterers often have very strong passions they find hard to control and suffer because of them. But we don’t go around saying they should indulge their desires for drink or relationships outside of marriage. We try to help them recover.

By the way, the lives of your friends are likely to be significantly shorter because of their sexual practices.

I don’t know how “shocking” it is that “conservatives” support Yiannopoulos, but it’s certainly telling about the state of modern “conservatism” in any case. One supposes “conservatives” support ex-porn star (is there any such thing as an “ex-porn star” given that their legacy lives on forever in their films?), Jenna Jameson, for her recent twitter rants condemning the religion of Mohammed.:
