The Price for Covering Up Decades-Long Child Sexual Abuse? A Job with the Feds

I must admit, Graham Spanier's latest job in crisis management for the US government is extremely appropriate. I cannot see a better candidate who can cover up a fuck up (literally) for more than 10 years like the ousted president of Penn State.

He said in an email:

“For the next several months, as I transition to my post-presidential plans, I will be working on a special project for the U.S. government relating (to) national security. This builds on my prior positions working with federal agencies to foster improved cooperation between our nation’s national security agencies and other entities.”  

I know people who were fired for being short on a cash register by $25, and couldn't find a job dealing with money, but this guy conspires to hide sexual abuse, and leaves a hero who already has a gig.

Can I say white privelege?

I am scratching my head at how many people I have read about getting life for drug conspiracy and this guy knowingly held information that caused the harm to a number of boys, some we will never know, and he gets carte blanche and high level clearance.

But that shows you the power of institutions, and the length that people will go, even in their ignorance, to protect something that kills them too. We will defend universities and governments the convenient argument that these are individuals, and not representative of the institution.

Welp, journalist Chris Hedges says, "Inherently, all institutions are demonic."

FREE SARAH KRUZAN

When a Riverside teen named Sarah Kruzan was 16-years-old, she killed a thirty-something male who coerced her into prostitution, along with other girls. She was tried as an adult and convicted to life without parole. Today at 29-years-old, she is facing the reality of being imprisoned for defending herself against a sexual predator.

A self-professed overacheiver when she was in elementary and middle school, Kruzan talks about how a man called "G.G" roped her into sex trafficking at the age of 13; simply by taking she and her friends to the mall for roller skating. According to Kruzan, he was the father figure she lacked until she had sex with him, and then he became her pimp.



Cases like Sarah Kruzan, a young, African-American woman, are unfortunately not rare, especially in the state of California, where women, juveniles, the poor, and those from troubled backgrounds fill the penal system. These penal systems that are privately owned make money from several avenues. Firstly, they are subsidized by federal and state money. Secondly, the cheap labor that is produced garners these privately owned-corporate entities billion dollar profits.

Did you know that prisons are built in California by looking at the third grade reading scores? That is a helluva projection that definitely encourages populations of people to fuck up. And even when they do not, the "Justice" system will find a way.

Another issue that is hardly touched is the Juvenile Court System. It is structured where the Judge presides and decides the fate of children, no jury, and in many cases a disregard of their legal representation. Historically, complaints have been waged against juvenile judges who pass prison sentences to children in a trial that blatantly shows the defendant was not guilty, or at the very least, did not deserve jail time for a minor defense.

But leave it to Good Ole' America, the jails must be filled, so this country can continue to lead as the #1 industrial country that has the highest population of people in jails and prisons. Capitalism, gotta love it!

Furthermore, the US sex trade of teens, both girls and boys of all colors, ethnicities, and classes is a neglected issue that oozes out like an unattended infected social sore from the suburbs, to the rural areas and throughout urban regions.

Prison + America = Neo-Slavery FREE SARAH KRUZAN
