What can I do? ( pizzagate )

submitted by allonthesameteam

For decades I have been curious, confused, and haunted by the dynamics and scope of child crimes. In the 70's one of my siblings was, for years, sexually abused by a grandparent. Lower case g is intentional and grand as well as parent, ...both inappropriate. From the age of 8-19 I knew that there was a shift in our family that I could not understand. Secrecy and avoidance were, as I have learned, the method most enacted at the time. The affect of the actions of this one predator are uncalcuable. The openness of victims/survivors and the vigilance/strong intent of advocates that I have been blessed with here and on other platforms have been an island of connection in a stormy, mental sea. I have been hesitant to post here and am nervous around this submission and whether it belongs.

While pondering what things/actions I can do to not just be more aware of and supportive in this realm, I merged my desire for this initiative, it's content, and my belief in it's power, with some of the wonderful, insightful, and educational submissions that I find at https://np.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/ . This sub is filled with many varying examples that depict dynamics in a visual, and usually more magnetic/understandable, way. They have helped me to better grasp many arenas whether financial, social, playful, etc… .

My hope and intention, without expectation, is that through collaboration the vast collection of minds, facts/data, and willingness to inform for change I experience here, and the collective artistic and intellectual abilities of the Data Is Beautiful community, there could be the creation of educational/wake up tools. If I am off my rocker please let me know.

One possibility that is forefront for me is the comparison between terrorism and child crimes in relation to the number of victims, media coverage, and the amount of amount of focus, money and social effort is allotted to each. I am baffled when I compare the gross disparity between the actual threat of each, the high frequency of terror and the omission of child crimes in media, and the resources attributed to each. Note: This is based on my perception of what I speculate IS going on. Right or wrong I strongly believe that this is by design.

I just spent 20 mins going through my bookmarks in search of a specific video that was a great example of using graphs and data to depict the locations and frequencies of missing children in the US. Like 60% of child crime and trafficking Ytube vids I have saved, it is no longer available. It was completely comprised of collected data given in visual form and a source I shared many times to educate others. DC and Richmond Virginia were highly over represented. This was a source that propelled my interest in getting more aware and involved, and I believe that more such content would/will aid in education and change.

I invite anyone who is interested to contribute and support in any way. On Data is Beautiful they have "[Topic][Open] Open Discussion Monday — Anybody can post a general visualization question or start a fresh discussion!" and I will copy/paste this there.

Again, Thank you all for your efforts and care. All on the same team

I wonder all the time.....

Self care is important. Staring into abyssesesss, putting on your own oxygen mask first, etc

I gleaned this useful tidbit from mumsnet thread about NSPCC scandal.

"The focus should always be on the groups and individuals who play the long game to inveigle their way into organisations. The strategy is always the same, whether the organisation is a charity, education, religious institution, care facility or cult."

To me, telescoping in and out from trees to forest and back again helps me feel empowered to make ripples the size of my lived life

Hi there @allonthesameteam . Thanks for letting us know about the Data is Beautiful subreddit. That sounds like an excellent resource -- I'm giving this our "Pro Tip" flair.

Could you maybe add a few linked examples of especially effective presentations of child abuse data? You can upload screenshots or image files to catbox.moe and paste the url in your submission. We've also got v/pizzagatememes that could always use more "visualizations" of pizzagate. :-) You might want to cross post this submission there.

Take a particular target and focus your attention on it.

Me, I typically focus mine on either Hollywood pedo rings or on any mob connections (ie “follow the mob) to see where it goes.

This is a very thoughtful post. Thank you!

I agree with many of the other responses below. Just keep talking about it. The weight of the problem seems too great at times and it’s hard to find real life solutions that can help. Really hard. One thing that has helped me a lot is now I stand out on street corners with signs a few times a week and I feel better knowing I’m putting that energy out there and spreading awareness.

Research and spread the message. That's all we can do.

Start with the people around you. As Mike Ruppert used to say to his audiences, "I'm not trying to save the world because the world doesn't want to be saved. But if I can help you, that's enough. Start with little things. For instance, the next time some normies are talking about whatever show they've watched on Netflix, ask them with surprise, "Netflix? Have the FBI not shut them down yet?" Then tell them about the CP film they produced and distributed called Desire which features a 9 year old girl masturbating in its opening scene. If you can get just one person to think twice before using Netflix, or more importantly, letting their child use it again, that's a good start.

Yes! Very helpful podge512!
Astounded at the number of people who are paying Soros through their consent of netflux taking their money every month for absolute garbage.

Yes!! Great example. And YouTube with elsagate... so many examples of organizations exploiting children and/ or protecting pedophiles.
