HOLLYWOOD IS THE ORIGINATOR OF TRANSACTIONAL SEX
MEDIA HAS BEEN BOTH COMPLICIT AND ENABLING
Everyone is aghast that Harvey Weinstein may have used his position to elicit sexual favors from young actresses in search of a Hollywood career. Give me a break, Hollywood has been guilty of this practice for a 100 years. Ever since the very beginning. It then spread to the major media when Television was introduced in the 1940's. This has been an open secret in Hollywood, New York and with anyone paying attention. It is so commonplace that executives and people of power have openly bragged about all the stars that they had encounters with.
Now we are to believe that, O my Gosh how could this be? They all knew, the executives, the stars, the media, the politicians. They all knew and stayed quite because they were part of the same club. A big gang of the worst kind of hypocrites.
Young Actors and Actresses are all vulnerable to such practices. You have young people hoping to become a star, wanting to be loved, envied, and become a person of importance. You have those that have the power to make all that happen, and many used that position to take whatever advantage they could. Most people after reaching success would rather forget the past. Why detract from the image that they have created. Some women who were sexually exploited have talked about it, but as yet no one has been willing to talk about the young men exploited by the large Homosexual presence in the Media industry. The media has covered this up for years.
In May 2012, John Travolta, testifying concerning a growing story that he had sexually assaulted a masseuse in a New York hotel related how he had learned as a young actor in his " Welcome back Kotter" days to accept giving transactional same sex favors in return for career relationships. It is very interesting that this growing story, suddenly was dropped and never heard about again. The story was being written about, by the Huffington Post, Vanity Fair, the New York Post and dozens of other outlets. Strangely it ended immediately after Travolta's testimony became public. It would appear that the news outlets were told or paid to end the story.
Make no mistake, these practices most likely are a two way street, with many of the ambitious, both men and women making the advances with those in power to advance their career.
It is no secret that Hollywood moguls and actors have had connections to Political power in this country. The linking of stars like Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedy's is just one example. They have endorsed and financed the political campaigns of those that are willing to engage in transnational lawmaking that will enhance and endorse their wealth and lifestyles. This is all part of the enormous media empires that are not just in film, but TV, news reporting and the recording industry. The news and entertainment business has now become one. They have become the dominate factor in the guiding of the culture of America. They have continued to dress up and be glamorous in public yet have continued to push horrendous scenes of gun violence, sex of all kinds, glamorized the use of drugs and made them a mainstream bad habit.
So get off it Hollywood, your hypocrisy with Harvey Weinstein is outrageous. We only wonder what Harvey did to who that has let the media and the entertainment industry throw Harvey under the bus. Do they believe they can use him as a sacrificial lamb to quiet the outrage? We will have to see if anything will really change.
