Hvem svikter barna?

(Norwegian blog this time, to my english readers: Please use google translate)

Jan Bøhler uttalte seg følgende i Aftenposten: "De som går mot datalagringsdirektivet svikter barn som utsettes for overgrep. Det er veldig alvorlig, vi risikerer at Norge blir en honningkrukke for de som bedriver internettrelatert kriminalitet."

Denne uttalelsen var å lese på nett sammen med Kripos sine emosjonelle, og ikke minst politiske, utspill i kjølvannet av en "pedofiliring" Europol har avdekket. Overskriftene var ikke overraskende tabloide, med tykke fonter og ord som trigger ryggmargsrefleksen hos de aller fleste. Kripos fikk oversendt en rekke trafikkdata og står igjen med 34 norske IP-addresser. Dette blir vinklet til at 34 norske pedofile kom seg unna Kripos sine klør. Dette til tross for at Kripos ikke kan bevise at IP-'ene "peker mot like mange unike personer." Det er noe ganske annet enn "34 pedofile". Disse menneskene som har vært inne på denne siten av uvisse grunner er ikke identifisert, de er altså ikke tiltalt, dømt eller har fått en klinisk diagnose stilt av en fagperson. Men Kripos vet å manipulere.

Så har vi Jan Bøhler. Han sier altså at de som er mot DLD svikter barn som utsettes for overgrep. Denne uttalelsen provoserte meg så grundig at jeg sendte Bøhler en mail der jeg i tydelige ordlag forklarte ham hvor langt han gikk over streken. Selvsagt uten å få svar.  Jeg vil tro alle som jobber for å få stanset DLD lar seg provosere. De fleste er etablerte med barn. Ingen foreldre tar lett på at en politiker anklager dem for å svikte barn som utsettes for overgrep. Mine tanker går da spesielt til de som er profilerte DLD-motstandere i media. Hvilke signal sender Bøhler til deres barn?  Det er en virkelig uheldig og korttenkt uttalelse av en politiker.

Hvorfor ble jeg personlig så provosert? Jeg har ikke barn. Jeg har derimot jobbet med sårbare barn i 9 år. Jeg har erfaring fra psykiatrien, fra skole, fra barneboliger og avlastninger. Og i motsetning til Bøhler har jeg jobbet tett med barn som har blitt utsatt for overgrep. Vi snakker om seksuelle overgrep, vold og omsorgssvikt. Vi snakker også om svikt i systemet fra barnevern, fylkesmenn, kommuner, ledere og kollegaer. Jeg har i løpet av mine 9 år sett mer elendighet og tragiske historier enn jeg egentlig makter å ta innover meg. Og tro meg når jeg sier at ingen av disse overgrepene ble dokumentert på nett. Disse overgrepene skjedde hjemme hos barnet, i instutisjonene, de ble utført av mødre og fedre, av nattevakter, av feige ekstravakter, av tafatte ledere, av grådige kommuner og fylkesmenn som er mere opptatt av regler. Jeg kan med hånden på hjertet si at jeg ved et par tilfeller har hatt et sterkt behov for å sette meg i en bil med barnet og forsvinne. Fordi disse overgrepene får lov til å fortsette nettopp pga regler politikere som Bøhler er med på å lage.
Så hvem svikter barna, Bøhler?

Jeg har taushetsplikt og kan derfor ikke uttale meg om spesifikke saker. Jeg kan uttale meg generelt. Jeg kan si at jeg har jobbet med en minoritetsgruppe som er så politisk betent at ingen ville gripe inn i saken. Vi i skolen skrev bekymringsmeldinger, jeg jobbet dobbelt i boligen der brukeren bodde for å trygge i en kritisk fase og boligen skrev bekymringsmeldinger, støttekontakten som hadde kjent bruker fra hun kom til landet skrev bekymringsmeldinger. Ingenting ble gjort for å stanse at denne brukeren ble tvangsflyttet fra en trygg bolig til  families kommune.  Det var en total politisk sperre. Og jeg var vitne til at et barn, så totalt ødelagt, gav opp alt håp.
Så hvem svikter barna, Bøhler?

Jeg vil si litt om Chilling Effect ved innførelse av DLD. Jeg har iløpet av mine 9 år i dette yrket, vært vitne til at folk vegrer seg for å melde fra. De er usikre, nervøse og ønsker ikke lage trøbbel for seg selv, brukeren, familien, lederen eller andre som er involvert. Jeg har ved flere anledninger gått videre med grove episoder jeg har vært vitne til på arbeidsplassen, men som har rent ut i sanden. I kommunen er det tette bånd mellom ledere og det er svært vanskelig å nå frem med slike saker. Vi ser at overflytting er å foretrekke fremfor oppsigelse. Så flytter man overgripere fra etat til etat. Og det er en selvsagt hysj hysj-mentalitet som råder.  Unge ekstravakter er redd for å miste jobben, de er redde for å ikke få en god referanse, de er redde for at om de sier fra vil det slå tilbake på dem i fremtiden. Jeg forstår dem, men resultatet er at grove brudd på Kapittel 4A får fortsette og barn som ikke kan forsvare seg fysisk eller verbalt er og forblir ofre. Så hva vil DLD føre til?
Terskelen for å melde fra vil bli høyere. Tanken på at man har vært i en intens konflikt med sjefen, at slike data kan lagres og bli brukt mot en ved senere anledninger er skremmende for ungdom. Det er skremmende for de fleste av oss. Det er lettere å lukke øynene. DLD kan altså føre til at færre melder fra om overgrep på arbeidsplassen.
Så hvem svikter barna, Bøhler?

Da jeg var ung jobbet min tante på et krisesenter. Jeg var 10 år da hun og en ung jente kom for å bo hos oss i en uke. Det er noe jeg aldri glemmer, og det var en opplevelse som direkte førte til mitt valg av yrke i voksen alder. Dette å ta vare på de alle svakeste. Denne unge jentens barndom sto i skarp kontrast til min. Jeg forstod ikke hvorfor hun ikke lekte med dukkene jeg tilbydde henne. Hun gjorde kun det jeg ba henne om å gjøre.
Dette er denne apatien jeg får mest vondt av hos barn. Barn skal ikke være apatiske. Jeg har lært iløpet av mine 9 år at så lenge barn er sinte, redde, skriker, gråter, slår seg selv og/eller andre så er det fortsatt tid. Lite tid, men fortsatt tid igjen for å hjelpe. Det er når barnet trekker seg helt inn i seg selv jeg blir virkelig bekymret.
Og de gangene jeg har sett dette blikket hos barn, vet jeg at det er grunnet et politisk system som vedlikeholder overgrepene år etter år.
Så hvem svikter barna, Bøhler?

Det er ikke vi som jobber med barna som svikter, det er ikke de som jobber for å stoppe en implementering av DLD.  Det er dere som lager reglene, som tviholder på en papirmølle, som ikke bevilger nok penger, som er frekke nok til å gå ut i media å påstå at DLD vil redde barna fra overgrep.
Det er, som jeg skrev til Bøhler i mailen, en hån mot meg, en hån mot mine kolleger og ikke minst et hån mot barn. Hva gjør dette fokuset på barn og overgrep med de barna som faktisk befinner seg i en overgrepssituasjon? De får en tilleggsbyrde, en redsel for at nettopp deres overgriper har lagt ut bilder på nett av han/henne i de mest sårbare situasjoner. Trygghet, Bøhler? Barnet vet hva som vil føre til at volden opphører. Og det er ikke DLD.

DLD skaper ikke trygghet, det gjør vi som medmennesker. DLD gjør alle til mistenkte, og  DLD handler om så mye mere enn IP-addresser som Kripos provserende nok påstår er det eneste som kan hjelpe dem i etterforskningen i denne saken. Work harder! IT-bransjen sitter på kunnskapen, snakk sammen. Gi Kripos redskapene som er dokumentert effektive og ikke ineffektive , og slutt med disse skremmebildene. DLD er lett å omgå, så bruk heller disse milliardene på å sikre barna der det virkelig trengs. Hør på oss som jobber med barn og for barn. Det er ikke slik at svimlende mengder informasjon fører til bedre etterforskning. Det krever enorme ressurser og enorme summer i tillegg til de milliardene DLD selv vil koste. Dette er penger Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet mener er fornuftig å spy inn in DLD, isteden for å bruke disse pengene der vi vet det virker. Jeg vil ha meg frabedt at Bøhler bruker barna som politisk skjold.

Om noen svikter barna i dette landet, så er det Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet. Ferdig sak.

White people don't loot?

This is a blog post in norwegian as it deals with the article written by a norwegian journalist on looting.
Please use google translate to read in your language.

Mens mennesker gjennomgår en av verdens største katastrofer, velger Jørgen Meberg Gilbrant, journalist i Dagbladet, å gjøre en sak på hvorfor mennesker i ulike deler av verden "plyndrer" når de er fanget i en naturkatastrofe.

Jørgen Meberg Gilbrant har valgt å bruke dette bildet til sin artikkel. Og jeg påpekte til han via mail at sakens vinkling var populistisk og smakløs. Jeg påpekte også at han burde forstå konsekvensene av vinklingen i forkant . Kommentarfeltet under saken er nå stengt pga "rasistiske kommentarer". Jeg påpekte for Jørgen Meberg Gilbrant at om han ikke forstår hva en slik vinkling fører med seg, er han i beste fall naiv.

Det er faktisk ikke relevant for min reaksjon at han har intervjuet en sosialantropolog om "kulturforskjellene" i USA og Japan. Om det var hans ønske å lyssette kulturforskjeller som han sier i mailen, burde han ha valgt et annet bilde. Et  slikt bilde skapte furore i USA nettopp pga denne fremstillingen om at "hvite skaffer seg mat", mens "sorte plyndrer". Jørgen Meberg Gilbrant påstår at det er jeg som trekker frem hudfarge, og mener saken hans er nøytral. Det er grov ansvarsfraskrivelse.

Å plyndre er å rane, å stjele. Det er nedfelt i menneskerettighetene at man har rett til mat og ly, og at myndighetene har plikt til å skaffe dette til veie. Ergo er det ikke plydring - det er overlevelse. I Haiti og i Louisiana var det enorm fattigdom,  hjelpen kom alt for sent. Vi vet at  Bush selv har beklaget at han ikke sendte hjelp raskere. Han valgte å sende inn bevæpnede soldater først, dette har han også beklaget i etterkant fordi det ikke var et behov for væpnede soldater. Alle i Louisiana vet Bush ikke hadde sendt soldater om katastrofen hadde skjedd i en by med overtall hvite. Som Kanye West sa: George Bush Doesn't care about black people. Situasjonen i Hatiti er grotesk med sin ekstreme kriminalitet, og å kalle det plyndring når mennesker flykter fra voldtekt og kuler, er direkte provoserende.

Jørgen Meberg Gilbrant mener hans sak handler om kulturforskjeller. Jeg mener hans sak er _vinklet_ bevisst for å spille på den voksende fremmedfrykten og rasismen vi ser her i landet. Det er populisme. Det finnes ikke et annet ord for det. Sitater han har tatt med understreker nettopp dette:  "Idiotiske fenomener som at folk strømmer på og plyndrer supermarkeder er noe man ikke opplever blant japanere."

Idiotiske fenomener? Å kjempe for sin egen overlevelse er ikke likestilt med idioti. Å påstå at det er det, er idioti. Det er korrekt at noen mennesker tar materielle ting som ikke var relatert til overlevelse . Jeg vil igjen påpeke at dette nettopp ble relatert til hudfarge i USA selv om dette ble gjort av både de med hvit hud og de med mørk hud i Louisiana. Journalister har enorm makt. De alle fleste mennesker velger å lese dette uten å sette seg inn i saken. Ergo har Jørgen Meberg Gilbrant tømt bensin på bålet. Og er ikke villig til å innse hva saken har ført til.

Det overrasker meg ikke at en norsk journalist velger å vinkle en slik sak. Her i landet er vi grenseløst naive, og pga vår rikdom, vårt demokrati, og vår ytringsfrihet har vi blitt late og bortskjemte. Vi har liten innsikt i hvordan det er å gjennomgå traumer. Dette ser vi også i møtet med flyktninger med PTSD. Vi har ikke kompetansen til å møte mennesker med krigstraumer.

Vi er heldige som bor i dette landet. Problemet er at denne behagelige tilværelsen fører til arroganse og uvitenhet. Og som i tilfellet med denne journalisten: Total manglende forståelse på et meget betent tema. Hvordan hadde denne saken blitt mottat i USA?

Under følger mailer mellom meg og journalisten. Jeg vil påpeke at jeg ikke fikk svar på siste email. Jeg kan bare anta at han ikke er motivert for diskusjon. Og hans artikkel får stå uredigert. Med lukket kommentarfelt.

Update: "Al Jazeera's Steve Chao, reporting from Iwate prefecture says some 140 cases of looting were reported just south of Morioka - the first cases of looting since the earthquake struck exactly one week ago"

O Rly?







Mitt navn er ..., og jeg ble ganske satt ut av din sak i går om hvorfor japanere ikke "plyndrer" slik som folk med mørkere hud. Ja, jeg settet artikkelen din litt på spissen, men jeg tror virkelig ikke du vet hva denne saken gjør med folk. Når det gjelder Louisiana var det ikke bare de med mørk hud som "plyndret" som det er blitt omtalt. Forskjellen på bildene vi så i media var at når hvite skaffet seg mat, var det overlevelse, og når de med mørh hud skaffet seg mat, var det plyndring. Det er rasisme period.

 Dette var en stor sak i USA i kjølvannet av Katrina. Og du som journalist burde ha satt deg litt mere inn i hvordan situasjonen var. Du burde forstå at en slik vinkling, med de bildene du har valgt, trigger noe i hodet på folk i dette landet som tror at vi fortsatt opererer med "rase" og at graden av melanin i huden har noe å si på hvordan man reagerer ved en naturkatastrofe. Jeg ser i dag at kommentarfeltet er stengt. Er du overrasket?

Smakløst, populistisk vinklet og rett og slett provoserende. Jeg håper jeg ikke er den eneste som har skrevet til deg. Men jeg tipper du har fått noen "heia-mail" som skryter av deg for å påpeke hvor primitive disse svarte er.

Not good, mate. Not good.

Signert.

Det er selvsagt ikke bare dem med mørk hud som plyndrer. Chilenere plyndret, engelskmenn plyndrer når det flom, amerikanere plyndrer, osv osv. Det er du som trekker konklusjonen at det har noe med hudfarge og gjøre og blir støtt. Dette handler om KULTURELLE forskjeller, som mange synes er interessante - og som det finnes vitenskapelig grunnlag for, derfor intervjuet jeg også en sosialantropolog.

Mvh,

Jørgen

Takk for svar.

Jeg vil påpeke at jeg ikke konkluderer med at dette handler om hudfarge, jeg konkluderer med at saken er lagt frem på en måte som gjør at den blir oppfattet slik. Det er uheldig og ja, populistisk.
Dessuten er ordet "plyndre" ladet, mennesker i nød plyndrer ikke. De gjør det de kan for å overleve. Å plyndre er å rane eller å stjele. Mennesker i nød har faktisk rett ved lov til å skaffe seg mat om myndighetene ikke er i stand til å gjøre det for de. Ergo er ikke loven brutt.

 I japan får folk hjelp der det er mulig å hjelpe. I Louisiana fikk de ikke hjelp før det var for sent for svært mange, og mange mener det var nettopp fordi det var i et område med få hvite. Dette har Bush fått intens kritikk for i etterkant. Han sendte soldater med våpen før han sendte hjelp. Jeg kan love deg at hadde du trykket denne saken i en amerikansk avis, hadde reaksjonene vært svært sterke. Jeg forstår at du er journalist og ønsker at dine saker blir lest. Denne gangen har du fått reaksjoner så det monner. Hvorfor ble kommentarfeltet stengt pga rasistiske kommentarer tror du, om saken din ikke fyrer oppunder nettopp rasismen som viser seg i dette landet? Om det ikke var din bevisste intensjon, vil jeg påstå at du som journalist er en smule naiv.

To The department of justice

The department of justice seeks private information about Twitter users who voice their support for WikiLeaks. We know this because the Icelandic MP Birgitta Jónsdóttir informed us about this via Twitter. And had it not been for Twitter's denial to comply, it would never have reached the public nor her. I find it deeply disturbing that you feel a need to gather intelligence in secrecy about political activists using their democratic right to free speech via the Internet. The Icelandic minister of Justice is now looking into the case.

Regarding WikiLeaks, I have been active both on Twitter, Facebook and blogs voicing my support. All citizens have a natural right to know everything their elected officials and their policy making employees are doing on their behalf. (res publica). Anyone who seeks to stand in the way of this right is an enemy of democracy, and a supporter of an authoritarian state.

It scares me that my belief in freedom of information, right to privacy and free speech is such a threat to your system that you feel the need of prosecution. And as disturbing these news are, it's even more disturbing knowing that most other online fora most likely would comply, unlike Twitter. It's what we don't know that's the really frightening scenario. I have a democratic right to openly support Wikileaks, and you have an obligation to serve the public trust.

And failing terribly.

Wikileaks - Big brother's big brother

UPDATE: Swedish prosecutors have lost their High Court appeal against bail granted to the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The greatest threat to society is ignorance. I see this posing a massive threat against us regarding data retention directive (DLD in Norwegian), and with freedom of press and freedom of expression regarding Wikileaks and Julian Assange.

On a weekly basis I talk to people who ask me questions regarding both subjects. And I am shocked by their lack of knowledge. Wake up and smell the coffee, sweetheart...the government has been oppressing you since the day you were born.

I don't enjoy destroying their illusions. If people don't start waking up, they will unknowingly ruin my freedom. These people are drones, and waking up to reality is deeply uncomfortable. Democracy is constantly evolving, and if you don't participate it will evolve into something you really don't want it to. Use that freedom of expression to make sure you remain a free human being.

Use it or loose it.

I am growing tired of debating with ignorant people. If I can access the information, then so can you. The government prefer you to stay stupid and ignorant, we see it in the states where the education system has left the country on the break of total destruction. And in Norway education is not prioritized, the politicians want you working, not educated. Work, make them money, stay dumb. If that does not work, they will start censoring the news papers, the radio, they will twist and distort your information claiming it's for your own good. As with data retention.

Mass surveillance is for our own safety. They are doing this to protect us from terrorists, predators, Pirate Bay and other «serious crime». They are creating an enemy, whom we did not fear at all, mind you. This is information you willingly pass on to the next person. Spreading misinformation like a virus. You recognize China as a supressed country, but fail to see the same prosess at work at home. Res publica. Look it up.

Wikileaks is to me the best example of how this prosses works. Wikileaks has revealed serious war crimes, human rights violations, and corruption spread out over a 4 year period. From human rights violations in Guantanamo Bay, corruption in Kenya, opening up church of scientology, corruption on Iceland, the collateral murder video, the Granai airstrike, the Afghan was diaries, not to mention the diplomatic cables that made governments over the world have a total fit. The list goes on.

Now the US are censoring it's newspapers, students are instructed not to read about wikileaks, library of congress are censoring the material, MasterCard, Visa and Paypal refuse to offer their service to Wikileaks, (that was dealt with) hindering you and me to spend our money the way we want to, claiming Wikileaks is engaged in illegal activities. (Paypal lied and you can read all about that here.) (And let's never forget Bradly Manning.) Yet in spite of all this, wikileaks has not been convicted of any crime. Wikileaks is the messanger, and operates as a media organisation in collaberation with important media such as Guardian, Der Spiegel and New York Times. Yet these are not being persecuted for publishing the same material as Wikileaks. Nor has any other media covering the leaks from across the globe. This is freedom of press. We demonize other countires for censoring people such as Salman Rushdie and Liu Xiaobo, yet we prosecute our own freedom fighters. And we still like to believe we are fully democratic in the west.

Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks is, as we speak, in solitary confinement. He has not been charged with any crime, he has very restriced rights, he is being watched 24/7. Because 2 Swedish girls accused him of rape. I don't see the personal life of Assange to be relevant, but with all the misconseptions I see it as important to sort some facts out.

Assange had consensual sex with Anna Ardin while living in her flat for a few days. She invited Assange to Stockholm to speak at a seminar hosted by The Brotherhood Movement, and was briefly appointed his press secretary during his visit. Ardin tweeted <--this the same day, and the day after, the alleged rape. (Since deleted) Ardin explains how wonderfull it was to hang out with "the coolest people in the world". Wilèn who attended the seminar, more or less stalked Assange.

This ^tweet, her now only listed tweet, is dated desember 12th 2010: "I'm so sick of everything that's happening, will it never end? Want to tell the theoreticians that "the other one" was equally pushy". I have deep sympathies with genuine rape victims as I know a few, but not with Ardin. If you are worried about STD, you go to the doctor, not the cops. This whole thing was a matter between Ardin and Assange, not for the public eye and certainly not for the cops. If your date don't call you the next day, take it up with your girlfriends, not a lawyer.

Please read more about the details here, here and here and last but not least: here. (Last link is in swedish, please use google translate if needed) The rape charges were dropped the same day, as there were no evidence of rape. Then the charge were changed to «sex by surprise». (In Sweden having consecual sex without condom is apparently rape, not listed here.) Assange offered to come in for questioning while in Sweden, but this was denied. He did stay 1 month longer than planned in order to get the questioning done. Denied. He was told he was free to leave the country. 3 months later he is wanted by the Interpol for questioning in Sweden. (Read Wolf's thoughts on the state pimping feminism here) I agree whole heartedy with Wolf in what Ardin and Wilèn are doing, is a grave insult to rape victims all over the world.

Assange has to this day not been charged with anything, and his lawyer has not been presented with any evidence. He has repeatedly offered to go in for questioning at the embassy in London or via video link, but this has again been denied. Assange gave the british police his contact information as soon as he arrived in England, and he turned him self in. Assange has been granted bail, but that was appealed by the UK authorities (!) And now we have to wait for another 24 hours to know the outcome of that. If he is released on bail, he will be kept in house arrest, he has to report everyday, he has to hand over his pass port and wear a electronic tracker. If he's not released on bail we are looking on months of appealing. What a massive waste of money.

We know the US are doing everything they can to extradite Assange and charge him with espionage, when he in fact wanted to involve the US government. But this request was denied. The US are sending shock waves through free press all over the world: Assange is not the criminal, the governments who committed the war crimes, the corruption, the human rights violations are the criminals. The same people who now want him dead. There has not been a single piece of evidence as to claim Wikileaks has put any lives at risk.

In his own words: "Every time WikiLeaks publishes the truth about abuses committed by US agencies, Australian politicians chant a provably false chorus with the State Department: "You'll risk lives! National security! You'll endanger troops!" Then they say there is nothing of importance in what WikiLeaks publishes. It can't be both. Which is it?"

In fact Assange is just letting you and me know whats really going on, putting his life on the line. Julian Assange is the Robin Hood of the information age. Wikileaks is opening up Governments. And you better be grateful enough to take that information and educate yourself any way you can.

This is historical, this is about internet freedom, and about press freedom. And you have to use these rights to maintain them.

On a brighter note: I want to point out that Wikileaks now have 2.194 mirror sites, and a massive support group across the globe. Assange had 382.o24 votes on Time's "Man of the year" (He didnt win, big surprise), more than 10 people offered large sums of money for his bail. Wikileaks has massive support with the people ( 1.371020 fans on Facebook), and functions as an inspiration for new similar organizations just starting up. Demonstrations has taken place is several countries. People are indeed waking up.

Finally I highly reccomend the Forbes interview for a good look into the mind of Assange and the workings of Wikileaks.

What happens when the governments of the world tries to take away our freedom? What happens when freedom fighters are being hunted down and arrested? The people fight back.

To the American embassy

This is my email to the American Embassy. I suggest you write your own.

My name is-----, and I want to know if my name has been registered by the Surveillance Detection Unit (SDU) in the SIMAS data base. Today Bjørn Erik Thon, the director of data security in Norway, stated in Aftenposten that anyone who has been at a demonstration outside the American embassy, should get in contact and demand answers. So, as a Norwegian citizen who has been part of numerous LEGAL demonstrations, i demand to know if my name has been ILLEGALLY registered by the Surveillance Detection Unit. If so, that is a violation against Norwegian laws and action will be taken.

Regards ----.

Oh BTW. Here's looking at YOU motherfuckers:

The sexy underground

Long overdude post on various fetishes people engage in.
I asked my readers months ago to pick a topic out of many. And most answered they would like a general introduction to more common fetishes. Most of these are linked, and I will try to present the various types accordingly. Some are funny and silly, some are darker and more serious.

First I would want to educate all of you, a fetish is not always a sexual activity.
In many cases it's all about playing games or roleplaying. Sometimes the fetish activity involves nothing sexual, until the person is alone a few days later. For others it's very sexual.
What is sexuality? Who has the right to label it, or limit it? This blog post is quite long, even though I try to make each subject as short as possible. If you don't want to read all of it, just skip to the parts that interest you.

Let's start of with furries. Many of you know about this fetish, so I won't go into great detail. There are thousands of sites online dedicated to this, with equally many films, cartoon and pictures. So what is a furry?
As with every fetish there are huge variations, but basically furry fandom is a man or a woman who finds great pleasure, sexually and/or psychologically in dressing up in cute, animal custumes, or more specifically as anthropomorphic animal characters. They walk on two legs and they do talk. Some will play with other furries over a weekend, some have sex (yiff), some live a lifestyle at home with a partner as a furry. Some have sex with furry sexdolls/toys (Plushophiles), some meet up at furry conventions. The furry kink is harmless yet complicated. Most people enjoy dressing up pretending to be someone we are not, or someone we feel like deep inside. Once dressed up, we immediatly become the costume mentally. If you were to dress up as a cop, you would copy a cops mannerizms. We enjoy taking on roles, it's a healthy break from our normal, boring, stressed out self. For a furry it's also about being able to be playful, childlike, talk in a funny voice, play with toys, act cartoonish. Some spend huge amounts of money on making costumes, and there are people who specialize in making custom made custumes that costs thousands. As with everything else, if there is a demand someone will pick up on that and make it into a money machine. Feel like dressing up as a racoon? Then furry fandom is for you.

The darker side of the furry fetish kan be linked to vore.( Latin vorare to "devour") People into vore fantazise about being eaten by animals, or other animals being eaten. Obviously this deals with elements of submission/domination. Some women will fantasize about being some fragile, beautiful animal, like a unicorn, that gets eaten alive by an aggressive pack of wolves. It's fascinating to me to see how complex some people will make their sexual fantasies. For some it's enough to say "please tie me up and spank me", others will play out a whole other universe to be able to get off. People want to be eaten by anything you can possibly imagine: dragons, whales, lions, frogs, snakes or wolves... Anything goes.
To some people national geographic is porn. No, I am being serious. On forums you will find people discussing yesterday's program like it was Caroline Pierce's newly released Bang Bros production. This fetish deals with pain, fear, adrenaline, being helpless or being in control, causing others pain and/or controlling life and death.

The fantasy of being eaten is actually not so uncommon. I once stumbled upon a site (taken down years ago, (this is the archive) named The Big Gulp. Introduction: "If you're a psychology major reading this site because you're writing your thesis about us, please let us know if you figure out why we have this kink: we'd like to know!"
This site was dedicated to the idea of being a tiny man/woman being swallowed/eaten by a normal sized woman/man. The site was filled with fantastic photomanipulations of sexy, flirtatious women dangeling a helpless lille man between her fingers over her open mouth. That was years ago and a google search today will land you hundreds of sites dealing with the same fetish. To most it seems being swallowed whole is the main interest, to others being chewed and digested is the kink itself. As with vore this is a fantazy, it's not something anyone can play out in real life. Psychologically this is very Freudian of course. A man who want's to be eaten by a mother figure: return to mother. Unbirthing is a subgenre to vore, where the person is being eaten by the vagina (Not vagina dentata), and sometimes absorbed by the female body. To men who devouring men (Cock vore), you have the theme of male pregnancy. This deals with the need to feel protected, nurtured by someone you deeply trust, for others it's bondage, as in being restricted inside someone elses body. For others it deals with age regression. It's very complex and multi layered. I guess we could see all of this as a form of psycho drama. (I won't mention necrophilia as I have written about that subject before.)

Ok let's move on.
Crush fetish. I can't write about this fetish without writing a little about Jeff Vilencia. Jeff, as many do, had a kink and he thought he was the only one. He made a film about his fetish and was suprised by the number of people who contacted him because they shared his very spesific fetish. Jeff is well known for his controversial smush!-films. People who are into the crush fetish enjoy to see bugs, slugs, worms or similar being crushed under pretty, large female feet, preferably wearing massive, long spiked heals. Foot fetish being an obvious element.
They fantasize about being under the women's feet, being crushed, and since that is not possible in real life, a bug or similar is a valid substitute. I will mention that Hard Crush involves larger animals such as kittens, frogs and birds. As of today these videos are illegal because this is without a doubt animal cruelity. There was a lenghty legal process banning it, then making it legal and then banning it once again. I won't post pictures of how terrible this fetish can turn. I don't care what you do, as long as it's safe, sane and consensual. Killing kittens is NOT.
Jeff holds lectures about his fetish, and lives without a life partner. At one of these lectures a girl asked him "doesn't it get boring, doing the same thing over and over again? " Jeff answered "does intercourse get boring to you?" Great comeback. For a submissive man to imagine himself as a helpless worm being squashed under mighty female feet, is the ultimate submission. The total destruction. Others prefer being crushed themselves, this is a very layered subject and I will only mention it passingly. In this category you will find face sitting, trampling, being run over by cars and so on. These men (mostly men) actually harden their rib cage over time due to massive pressure and can take alot of weight on their torso. Some want 3 plus size females sitting/standing on them. People hav died from this fetish, some get crushed by cars, tractors or other motorized vehicles. (I have written about asphyxia before.)
It's not all just imagination: I read about one man who saw his friend's mother crushing his turtle by mistake in between the kitchen door when he was a young child. The turtle didn't die, so she stomped it with her high heals as he tried to save it, squashing his finger in the prosess. He now get's his kicks hiding out in football tribunes, sticking his finger out hoping that some random woman will squash his finger as she sits down. He only get's off if the skin splits open. Very painful indeed.

I guess we could continue onto giantessophiles. (also known as macros and gulliverians [if
they fantasize about giant men]). Another HUGE subject with multiple layers. In short this is all about men fantasizing about very tall women. As in VERY tall. Think "Attack of the 50 foot woman". Many of these cheesy films from the 60's are porn to these people, even ads and comercials are sexually interesting. The deal is: very tall women dominating and/or playing out a certain tailored setting. A famous lady in this business is Queen Adrena, former wrestler. You will find a huge gay community into this as well. Really tall men or women, stombing on buildings, or mastubating with bridges. These women are very scary, dominating, overpowering, highly sexual, and there is no way of escaping. Again closely related to BDSM. I will point out that not all dominatrix are tall, some just act tall, building a mini scale city with skyscrapers and planes crashing into buildings. All very low tech, but it works for their customers: Ron. H runs a magazine called Black Giantess filled with his hand made collages. He has sold over 350 copies. He also runs Zena Rules. Zena is a part time Dominatrix specializing in foot fetish. Zena is a real live Godzilla. It all sounds really fucked up, but to them this is normal living.

Let's stay in the subject of growth.
If I tell you that the scene where Violet eats the magic piece of gum in "Charlie and the chocolate factory" and grows to a giant blueberry, is porn to some people, would you be amazed? Well it's true. Thousands have the original film for the sole purpose of masturbation. But not just that scene or that film, ANY film involving unwanted instant growth. It can be the whole person, or just the breasts or other body parts. Some fantasize about being the subject others about being the voyeour. This deals with the overflow of sexuality, the ultimate motherly breast. But also about dominating others
into immobility. Growing and growing...until the pressure tears you apart and you finally blow up is unmistakenly a masochistis fetish. And let me tell you that the amount of money people will spend on their never ending hunt for the ultimate growth is pretty amazing. I know some will spend several thousands on custom made rubber suits that gets inflated by heavy pumps. Others indulge in elaborate drawings where shirts will rip and buttons fly. There is a huge amount of sites with tons of material on this fetish, photo manipulations and drawings for everyone. And let's not forget the written stories with more detailed descriptions than in a modern cook book.

Several fetishes are related to this, such as feeders/feeding/fat admiration. The idea of feeding a woman/man until she/he becomes morbidly obese. (Men: chubby chasers) For some meaning immobile, and dependant on the feeders care. Very controversial. This deals with the overflow of femininity, the whole body being sexual, the feel and texture of the rolls of fat. The main interest is focused on the belly. Women (gainers) will film themselves eating a huge meal, and then messure themselve after. It's those numbers that are so sexual to the feeders. Some of these girls makes a living from their websites with thousands of devoted fans. The belly in the picture belongs to a famous Super sized BBW named Betsy. I'm not talking about a chubby girl, I'm talking women weighing 550 lbs. These large women is seen as godesses to these men. Many in this community are pissed at the constant hassle the get. They claim they can be morbidly obeese and healthy at the same time, and don't want the stigma. Some organizations for overweight people claim this fetish is a form of abuse. That women are being taken advantge of by men who only want to be able to fulfill their sexual fetish. Regardless of the health risk the woman might suffer from. The debate is hot tempered. I personally feel that if you can't walk, you are not healthy. Besides that, what you want to do with your body is nobody's business but your own.

And staying in the growing genre, we have balloon fetish. Mostly gay men, but more and more women, inflate balloons specific to their preferance. Noteable poster boy is Buster who has done so much to get this fetish out there. Some want to blow up the balloon (poppers), some fear the big boom and don't want the balloon to burst, (non poppers). On youtube you will find several films of people blowing up, playing with, sitting on/inside, riding, laying on top off, or otherwize engage in activities with various balloons or other inflatable objects. Just last week I saw this very enthusiastic man riding a huge blow up killer whale in his flat, and after wresteling it for a while, he stabbed it repeatedly with a pocket knife. He seemed very pleased indeed. In Deviant Desires i read about an online debate spanning various forums: Is it sexual harrasement to get the unsuspecting lady at the balloon store to inflate a balloon? Valid question. I love these guys. This deals with fear, control, the smell of rubber and latex. (This is a well known fetish. Latex and rubber has a simillar smell to body odor.) It's indeed very phallic. It's playfull and harmless. We know fear and erection is linked, so it's not such a far stretch. So are you a popper or a non popper?

Moving on to Broken Dolls.
Romain Slocombe is a talented photographer who takes photos of asian girls in plaster and bandages. Japanese "kegadoru" meaning injured doll. This is actually a growing fashion as well, in Japan. I guess maiden's uniforms just don't cut it anymore. The idea is of course the submissive helpless woman. Wearing plaster and bandages will make some men feel very sexually attracted, as they want to protect and take care of the injured woman. Psychologist Yu Yuki thinks the white bandages symbolise virginity. I have a few books on the subject and I have Slocombe's book "City of broken dolls" The photos are quite fascinating, as you see no physical pain in the eyes of these women. They are not screaming, they are calm, looking into the camera with this mystical stare. They seem supernatural in some sense. Out of this world, and indeed very helpless. To me they look almost iconic, like a modern virgin Mary. I find the concept very interesting.

And last but not least pony play. This is also a huge subject. This has nothing to do with zoophilia mind you. These people enjoy pretending to be horses, or to ride people who pretend to be horses. Very big in Great Britain, Germany and the states. Basically a woman will be on all fours and her master/owner will ride on her back. She will be wearing the same gear as a horse would, custom made sadle and all. Even a tail. The owner will use his whip and command her. Massive amounts of training is involved where the master will teach her how to walk, canter, etc. Notable trainer Paul Reed, also the creator of legenday Equus Erotucus Magazine. Or she/he can be upright pulling a cart with her master in it (cart pony), while he gives his commands. The rituals in the stables are also important (grooming). Some play this out during a weekend, while some live the lifestyle 24/7. There are shows were the pony girl/boy and her master will perform (show pony), some like to be "bred" by strange pony boys. All details are layed out in the contract (a written contract is a common thing in the BDSM community). A talented pony girl can carry her master for a long period of time, and have very life like horse manerisms such as body language and horse like sounds. Obviously related to BDSM. It makes sense in some strange way, sitting on someone's back gives you control, you can sense all muscle movement. It's a very intimate form of bondage. It looks very strange and weird to most of us, but this is a fetish for serious and deeply enganged people.

Right.
This was just a very short introduction to a few subjects. If you would like me to write a more detailed blog on one of these, let me know and I will.

And remember: Love all deviants!

Sverigedemokraterna - Marie-Louise Enderleit

Norwegian blog this time.

Dette må deles, og spres.

Sverigedemokraternas kandidat Marie-Louise Enderleit mener at innvandrere bør stilles opp, skytes i hodet, pakkes i sekker og sendes tilbake der de kom fra.
Det er ikke 15 år siden SD var et naziparti, det er ikke 15 år siden SD var et rasistisk parti.
I går uttalte en av de nye Riksdagen-representantene at man ikke kan være muslim og svensk.
I 2009 husker vel de fleste dette.
Spre linken folkens, og send gjerne Marie-Louise en beskjed på facebook og fortell henne hva du tenker om slike holdninger.

Ellers kan man lese fine uttalelser fra Facebook-gruppen i denne bloggen: "Sverigedemokraterna i riksdagen- Jatakk!".

Marie-Louise Enderleit: (30 oktober 2009): "Risken är mycket stor dom avlar som kaniner vissa tjänar bra på de tänk ha 10 ungar." og "(21 januari 2010): "Bilden får mig att drömma tillbaka när man gick till skolan med matlådan i handen då bodde vi på landet då hade man aldrig hört talas om invandrare o alla tala samma språk."


Update: Hun har nå limited profile på Facebook, etter at jeg påpekte at å ha åpen profil som SD-politiker ikke akkurat er rocket science....

Nyt Norge threatens legal action against blogger

The Norwegian blogger Christopher Biong is being threatened with a lawsuit by the government financed initiative Nyt Norge (enjoy Norway). The case is a result of Biong's use of Nyt Norge's logo for his adbusting campaign against what he rightfully sees as a distorted campaign.
Using a corporate logo in this fashion is a well established means of political expression, and should be protected by free speech. If you can't use a corporate logo to protest their actions your means of expression are seriously hampered. This is especially true if the corporation is run by the government - and in turn our money.

We should make sure that these pictures recieve the attention they deserve, and that this turns into a public relations blunder for Nyt Norge. I would've never heard of these pictures if they didn't threaten legal action. Smart huh?

So here are the pictures they've got their panties in a bundle over:
