Bill Clinton's looming reckoning as a sexual predator
So far, there has not been much holding of Bill Clinton to account by progressives, despite the change in zeitgeist for sexual predation by the powerful. Never mind that it's fashionable on the left today to hold the founders of our country to present-day standards.
But the inevitable is happening. At first, a few progressives start mentally applying the post-Weinstein ethic to Bill Clinton. In the process, they eventually have to reflect on their own past and regret their support for him throughout Kenneth Starr's revelations, impeachment, and beyond. That will take a long time.
But if they don't publicly reflect, I am sure their friends on the feminist left and the entire right will be happy to dig up whatever the politicians and pundits said at the time about private matters being off limits. It's only sex!
Worst of all: Just as with Harvey Weinstein, everybody knew. That's why Hillary and Betsy Wright put together the "bimbo eruptions" team. Bill's victims were double-victimized, dismissed, pictured as chasing a hundred-dollar-bill dragged through a trailer park by James Carville.
The dam may be leaking among the progressive pundits, in cable news, at least. Justin Caruso of the Daily Caller is covering the awakening of MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Twitter. This tweet is the general charge, but Hayes gets more specific:
As gross and cynical and hypocrtical [sic] as the right's "what about Bill Clinton" stuff is, it's also true that Democrats and the center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against him.— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) November 10, 2017
There is a lot of material to choose from if you are going to start pillorying Bubba. But Hayes focuses on Juanita Broaddrick and draws explicit comparison to the worst of the Hollywood predators.
Read this account, in light of all we've been hearing and reading this last month, and ask yourself if it's credible. buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/j…
The omertà on Bill Clinton's predation of less powerful women lasted through last year, as Caruso points out:
Broaddrick and several other Clinton accusers appeared with then-candidate Donald Trump before the second debate with Hillary Clinton in 2016. She said at the time, "Actions speak louder than words. Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don't think there's any comparison."
The MSM commentariat knew, and they kept their mouths shut.
They even knew that Hillary, the breaker of glass ceilings, was the enforcer.
As always when we are fighting the cultural hegemony of the progressives, we use Alinsky's Fourth and hold the enemy to its own rules. It works most of the time.

Hollywood and Pedophilia
In
a scene from “I, Claudius,” a 70s television drama based on the life of the
Roman emperor who ascended to power after Caligula’s death, Claudius relates
the dismay of Julius Caesar when the emperor discovers the extent of his
daughter’s promiscuity. The accused are lined up before Caesar and confess
their sins.
Finally, after
hearing out all the fornicators, a frustrated and overwhelmed Caesar exclaims,
“Is there anyone in Rome who has not slept with my daughter?”
A similar
question could be asked of the Hollywood and Washington swamp critters coming
out of the woodwork either to confess their sins or to expose those who sinned
against them: Is there anyone who has not been harassed by or forced to sleep
with people like Harvey Weinstein?
As Weinstein’s
accusers have stepped out into the media klieg lights, Babylon’s moral night
creatures are either scurrying back into the shadows of hoped for anonymity or
are preemptively coming out of the bushes to confess their sins. Alex Baldwin
admits he has bullied women. Arnold Schwarzenegger says his cheating on his
spouse was his biggest mistake. Ben Affleck confesses he has erred, and even
George H.W. Bush admits -- at age 93 -- that he patted women’s rears.
Amidst all the
accusations, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that professional saviors of
actors’ and politicians’ reputations and careers, seeing the likes of Weinstein
going to the block, have advised their clients to get ahead of the coming
storms of judgment by preemptively confessing, savagely beating their breasts
while at the same time they beat a judicious but hopefully temporary retreat
from the public gaze.
In Kevin
Spacey’s case, he is being erased from Hollywood’s collective memory.
Literally.
His appearances
in Netflix’s “House of Cards” are cancelled. His shoots in Ridley Scott’s
upcoming film All the Money in the World are being
expurgated, with actor Christopher Plummer taking his place. One is reminded of
others who have been erased from history, like Nikolai Yezhov, Leon
Trotsky and Bo Gu were eliminated from the collective memories of Communist
regimes.
For the truth
is that Spacey, who followed Hollywood’s political correct rules in “coming
out” in order to ransom himself, must wonder what he has done wrong, much as
the accused Soviet and Maoist show trials must have wondered why their heads
were suddenly in the noose.
After all, the
milieu in which Spacey lives and works has promoted films and lifestyles that
have seen no particular wrong in promoting sexual activities of all types.
Hollywood’s films are routinely vehicles for celebrating every permutation of
the sexual revolution, as many producers have bought into cheap philosophical
musings on post-modernist deconstruction of everything, including sexual
morality.
The questions
are, “Why Spacey? Why now?”
Not that most
will feel sorry for him, but the actor must be confused, for it wasn’t so long
ago that Roman Polanski was applauded in absentia at the Oscars, receiving a
standing ovation from Meryl Streep, even though he had raped a drugged
13-year-old girl.
Why was
Polanski applauded? For one thing, Polanski was and for some still is
considered an artiste to whom no moral judgments apply. His creative genius
apparently puts him beyond the condemnation doled out to less talented mortals.
Polanski escapes condemnation much like the artist Paul Gauguin, who though he
deserted his wife and children and took child mistresses to whom he gave the
gift of syphilis, is forgiven. The greatness of his art has been deemed to
transcend his pusillanimous sex life.
The fact is
that Hollywood’s condemnation of Spacey, who apparently is truly guilty of
child abuse, is completely arbitrary. Hollywood has no real moral basis for the
finger pointing, for to judge justly requires a knowledge of right and wrong;
and Hollywood in general does not believe in right and wrong, particularly when
it comes to sexual behavior.
What’s left in
the absence of a moral thermometer is total arbitrariness. Arbitrariness
provokes fear, not true repentance. Arbitrary judgment and fear are always the
results when the concepts of moral truth are infinitely flexible.
Since it is
unlikely that genuine moral indignation is behind the current show trials now
being played out in Hollywood (and in D.C.), we have to ask ourselves, to what
end are all these displays of accusation and repentance being employed? What is
truly feared? What sacrificial lambs are being given up in order to protect
people behind the curtain? Who is being protected while a few are led to the
gallows?
It is hard not
to come to the conclusion that Spacey and others are being sacrificed in order
that more powerful people who do not want their sexual proclivities revealed
are not exposed. Certainly, Elijah Wood and Corey Feldman, along with
other former child actors, have stated that pedophile rings including some of
the world’s most powerful, famous and influential figures not only exist, but
continue to operate freely because the deeds done in secret are covered up.
One need only
think of the Rochdale sex abuse scandal in England.
Police and other law officials looked the other way while young girls were
drugged and passed around to “Asian” men who raped them. According to reports,
some of the guilty men are still walking around freely.
The list of
powerful people who are child abusers is no doubt quite long. There are still
unanswered questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express.” Who among the
famous are implicated in the child abuse happening on Epstein’s private island?
Is it fair to ask just who was involved in the orgies aboard Epstein’s jet,”
which according to the Daily Mail and other publications,
Bill Clinton boarded 26 times in three years -- apparently accompanied at least once by Spacey?
Isn’t it fair
to demand reporters and law enforcement do some serious investigating of sex
crimes committed against child actors in Hollywood? Isn’t it fair to demand
Hollywood, which has produced exposés like Spotlight,
which documented the sex abuse scandals afflicting the Roman Catholic church,
turn that same glaring spotlight on its own denizens of the child sex
underworld? If the demand is that Catholic priests clean up what Hollywood
deems as unspeakable acts, isn’t it fair to ask Hollywood to uncover its own
scandals while demonstrating genuine change in the way it operates?
Hypocritically targeting a few lowlifes while indulging in ritualistic
breast-beating is not enough. There has to be real change, including stopping
the glorification of sexual deviance in films -- starting with romanticizing
pedophilia.
Time will
tell. In the meantime, most will not be convinced Hollywood’s repentance is
genuine by the social execution of a few stars like the odious Kevin Spacey.
