True Or False

I've talked many times about casting aspersions, or as I say pointing the finger.  It's an age old collectivist ruse.

Point the finger and take attention away from the perps/instigators etal.

There is a rash, to say the least, of accusations of rape, sexual abuse and coercion amongst the Hollywood crowd and politicians. 

The preponderance of belief is on the side of the accuser.  It is a twosided coin. 

Of course victims/abused are encouraged to speak up.  Shame and intimidation kept secrets quiet with commensurate turmoil.   

It's quite a mess, a very squirmy plate of dysfunction. 

First one, then another, in both frequently overlapping spheres, have collapsed in a flurry of accusation.

Many have lost credibility and have lost not just prestige, but work too. 

Their reputations, often already shady, having garnered stories, bribes and in some cases 'accidents' buying silence.

Do you want to make it in Hollywood?  Want power, influence, wealth?  Shut up and go with the flow.  No matter how disgusting, what can one person do?  And even if you do, who is going to back accusations?  Silence is bought at the price of not just money, but also souls.  It's a two edged sword.

Now when attention is finally gained, there is the question of believability as mentioned before. Is it enough to just say someone did something?  Of course not.  And a legal process is engaged, for weal or woe.

Evidence must be gathered, witnesses vetted and claims corroborated.  If pointing a finger were enough, then many innocent people would be condemned.  And even when actually found innocent, reputations are usually ruined.  There is the lingering doubt that maybe there is something to it in spite of all.

Here is my take on the current situation.

There are many guilty.  Some are encouraged, since they have what they wanted, to jump on the victim train.  And for most, that is enough for alleged perps to lose prestige and power.

At this time, there is an immense sweep of child rapists, often rescuing children in current peril, let alone victims of yesteryear.  It is the most ambitious undertaking in garnering justice in our history and perhaps even the world. 

The spheres overlap and politicians are falling as well.

It is timing I question with the coming out of accusations.  None of it is hardly re kids.  It's taking a blow, seeming to deflect what's happening.

And when a crucial election is about to happen, suddenly people pop up pointing away.

Questionable 'actors' are brought to play.  It is enough to stymie many.

Truth and falsity vie while actual victims suffer. 

And it might be a round about way to manufacture a takedown for several.

May it be a real opportunity to exact justice and not a witch hunt.

The masks are falling.

We are able to see at long last just who and what is at stake.
