The IT

There is an unsettling truth being exposed in the world. It's not new. It's not unique to this time. It may just now be coming into the collective consciousness, but it has been there under the surface for millennia. The world is shocked, and disgusted. There is a divide happening. It will be stark. You will see names of people you thought were good people. They will be caught up in the landslide. I have known about the darker side of society for years. People will claim that it happens "elsewhere". That it doesn't happen here. That it is confined to third-world countries. Welp! I confess a certain amount of calm while the rest of you are suddenly jerked from your comfortable first-world problems. Welcome to my world. I wasn't a child when I was abused. I was old enough to know better, but too young to know how to get out. Welcome to the knowledge I've held for over ten years. Welcome to the darkness that fuels my humor, and forces me to laugh at what you hold as depraved. Welcome to the underbelly. You will get dirty. Your hands will be covered in the muck of this side of the world. It will seep into your soul, and it will attempt to take over. You have now left neutral ground. You know. You know that there are children being sold in your city. You know that there are parents selling their day old infant to another human being for an adults pleasure. You know that there is someone stalking your facebook page looking for YOUR kids. You know that they are photoshopping images of your perfect little angel so they can sell them to someone who is "age-fluid". You know that these people are protected by big money, and politics. You know that your rights as parents have been undermined, and ripped from you so that they can have more access to your children to groom them for this very moment. YOUR children. Not some nameless parent on the other side of the world. YOUR child. You are no longer on neutral ground. You will chose a side. You will either fight it. Or you will fuel it with complacent turning away. Where do you stand? there is no fence anymore. There is a gaping rift. You are on one side or the other. Do you turn a "blind eye" and allow them to continue to groom your children? Or will you push for the protection of innocence? your hands are dirty. You are part of this. You don't want to be, but you are. You no longer have a choice to remain neutral. Where do you stand? this is not an issue with gray areas. You are either here to protect children, or you are here to exploit them. If anyone was wondering where my abrasive nature comes from; This is where. Once you have seen and left neutral ground there is no going back. I left that, and have been choosing to fight to protect my children. I have fought for my rights as a parent. I have fought for school choice so that parents can choose a school that will not groom them for pedophilia. I have fought for my right to decide that something is inappropriate for the age at which it is being taught. I have fought to keep children clothing children's, and not a miniature version of adult clothing. I have fought to keep children listening to children's songs, and not forcing my adult music onto them. I have fought to keep their minds and imaginations alive with possibilities. I have joked about dark topics to help others see what darkness is out there. I have been crass in my wording to make certain there is no misunderstanding where I stand. I have done many things that others find hard to tolerate. I have flooded social media feeds with my posts about human trafficking. I have annoyed many by my inability to tolerate grooming of children, but my ability to make jokes about the darkness of the evil permeating society. I sit, now, enjoying a moment. A smile that spreads across my face as others have finally taken up the fight, and are exposing the extent of what is IT. Welcome to my world. Welcome to my fight. Take a seat. We are the radicals who know the darkness is there. Who laugh in it's face. Who chase it away with the light of knowledge. Who stand between the children, and those who would hurt them. We are the ones who look at the monster under the bed, and do not flinch. We are the ones willing to learn the hard truth of this evil, and then stand between those who would push it forward and those who would be eaten up in it. We will not let down our guard. We know we can't. I feel a calmness settling in my soul. Welcome.
