The Dark Place

 

From: X

By Gretchen Garrity

 "What I'm saying is that Queer Theory promotes pedophilia--Queer Theory itself." -- Derrick Jensen
The last two presidents of the American Library Association, Emily Drabinski and current President Cindy Hohl, epitomize the problems in our libraries today. Drabinski, self-described as Queer and Marxist, has written and spoken numerous times about the need to "queer" the library catalog, about socialist organizing in libraries, and about the ALA's opposition to restricting access to books/materials based on age (meaning minors.)

Watch author Derrick Jensen (who is by no means conservative) discuss the link between Queer Theory and pedophilia in the video below. The discussion begins at the 1:50:00 mark and continues for about 15 minutes. Ironically, his talk was held at the Eugene Public Library.


Here are some books described as Queer in the Christian County Library:

  1. Queer ducks (and other animals) : the natural world of animal sexuality
  2. Queen's English (Young Readers' adaptation)
  3. Ash's Cabin
  4. Icarus
  5. Other Ever Afters: New Queer Fairy Tales
  6. Love that story : observations from a gorgeously queer life
  7. Gender Queer
  8. Real queer America : LGBT stories from red states
  9. Queer : the ultimate LGBT guide for teens
  10. The New Queer Conscience
  11. The Queer Bible: Essays
  12. Queer and fearless

MORE ON THE ALA CONNECTION

Current Ala President Cindy Hohl, who is a member of the Santee Sioux Nation, is also like-minded when it comes to providing "all access" to every individual: "There has never been a better time to serve our communities within the roles of librarianship and we stand united in our mission to ensure equal access to information for all,” said Hohl.

Hohl is also committed to providing a "...comprehensive library guide [to] focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and antiracism practices in libraries highlighting welcoming spaces, belonging for all and sustainability for future generations of library staff and users."

Under Hohl's leadership (she worked in marketing before becoming a librarian), the ALA is currently embarking on a public relations campaign to boost its image and gain support. The campaign is focusing on the following:

"Contributions will help advance key ALA initiatives including:

  • Library funding: The ALA advocates for funding in the halls of Congress and state and local governments.
  • Library grants: The ALA provides grant opportunities to small and rural libraries.
  • Right to read: The ALA champions everyone’s right to read, without censorship.
  • Internet for all: The ALA advocates for broadband funding."

 Note the emphasis on "everyone's right to read, without censorship."

This is a fake issue. There is not a problem with First Amendment rights in libraries.

The problem with the ALA is that it purposely conflates free speech rights of adult citizens with access restrictions on minor children and the rights of parents to curate the materials their children are exposed to. There are NO ADULTS who are denied access to whatever books/materials they want to have access to in the library.

The extremists at the ALA and their cohorts in libraries all across the nation are scamming citizens in order to provide children with age-inappropriate materials. To be specific, they are the pushers of transgender ideology, along with their comrades in the publishing industry.

For an idea of how transgenderism is pushed on children, here is a sampling of such books in the Christian County Library:

  23. The Honeys, for ages 14 and up (Tags: Gender Fluid, Thriller, Horror, Paranormal)

  24. The Feeling of Falling in Love, for ages 14 years and up (Tags: Transgender, Romance, Homophobia)

These books seek to normalize the idea that one can change one's sex, and many are specifically geared toward young children. The deeper one looks into the motives behind this dark movement, the more frightening it gets. Here are some of the motives that have made gender ideology so prominent:

1) To promote "Queerness," which is a tactic used to overturn anything that has traditionally been understood as normal, i.e., heterosexuality, nuclear family, etc. It's the QT+ in the LGBTQ+ acronym.

2) To benefit the medical-industrial complex with on-going, lifetime procedures, medicines, and mental health care. 

3) To move humanity toward transhumanism by destroying biological truth/reality and then normalizing technological "enhancements" that ultimately intends to move society to a new form of humanity.

And,

4)  To satisfy the sexual depravity of mentally ill individuals.

That last point...

"Transgenderism is directly connected to pedophilia, and the use of "puberty blockers" on children - drugs designed to chemically castrate sex offenders - is such an obvious example that it should be the only one needed." -- Genevieve Gluck

Journalist Genevieve Gluck has written extensively on the links between pornography, transgender ideology and pedophilia. She has plumbed the depths of how pornography, hand-in-hand with transgender ideology has pushed the limits of sexual behavior to the point that irrevocably affecting the puberty of children through puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones, is considered a sexually desirable outcome.

The physical effects of puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones prevents the normal adult development of genitalia, in effect permanently keeping sexual organs in a pre- or pubescent stage. Gluck illustrates the trans/pedophile link HERE (warning: graphic and disturbing).

To listen to a podcast on this subject go HERE. Gluck writes more about the connection HERE. The website Reduxx reports what the mainstream media will not.

Is it too much to ask our taxpayer-funded libraries and schools to restrict access to minors of the books and materials and websites that push this darkness? If you follow the links above, you will find yourself in a very Dark Place, where adults admit to finding porn at the age of 10 or 11, and who could not tear themselves away. The darkness engulfs them until they end up like the fellow pictured above (or worse).

And then ask yourself what kind of organizations and people would advocate for a child's "right to read"  books pushing transgender ideology? The ALA and its chapter in Missouri (the MLA) do advocate for having all materials accessible to children.

The next meeting of the Christian County Library Board of Trustees is Feb. 25, 2025 at 6 p.m. at the Nixa library branch. Let's join together to make our library a place of light for children, and not of darkness.

Defiling the Children: CONTENT WARNING

Gender Queer

 

By Gretchen Garrity

When I first became aware that our public libraries and schools had become a vector for defiling children, I was shocked. What would possess a library/school to allow such a thing? 

How could books like Gender Queer and All Boys Aren't Blue be considered suitable for minors? Why would it be culturally sensitive to show little children a Japanese bathhouse full of naked girls and women? When did it become normal to introduce tiny children to transgender ideology?

The Big Bath House for ages 4-8


Historically, most cultures have protected children from ideas and acts that had the possibility of harming their mental and emotional well being. The early sexualization of children is deeply evil. At its foundation it speaks to a depraved desire to promote sex with children. 

Indeed, there is a strong move to treat the desire to have sex with children as an alternative sexuality--you've heard of MAP (minor attracted person) as the new classification, rather than pedophile. "Fixing" the connotation moves the normalization of it down the road toward acceptance.

The American Library Association opposes internet filters in libraries. Many of the apps for libraries, such as the Libby app, allow minors with a few clicks to access age-inappropriate online books and magazines. The battle is far from over.

After a recent conversation with members of Operation Soap--who just caught another sexual predator over the weekend, see HERE--it seems clear that the problem has metastasized. When you read the conversations these adults have with decoys, it is obvious that pornography is playing a huge role in defiling both minors and adults. An article titled, "Physiological, Psychosocial and Substance Abuse Effects of Pornography Addiction: A Narrative Review," stated:

"There has been a significant increase in the consumption of sexually explicit material, even in places where it is illegal, over the years [,]. Porn sites getting more visitors than Amazon, Twitter and Netflix combined shows how alarming this situation is. The increase in online pornography consumption can be appreciated because, in 2019, the world's top porn site's traffic jumped to one billion visitors per month, placing it among the world's top internet sites []."

Who would be surprised to find out that many sex offenders started out looking at pornography? Dusty Deevers, a pastor and state senator from Oklahoma, has written an article for The Federalist titled, "The First Amendment doesn’t protect sexual abuse images. Pornography is not speech. It is prostitution and must be abolished." Sen. Deevers has introduced a bill into the Oklahoma Senate to abolish pornography.

Naturally, those who oppose the bill cite the First Amendment and free speech rights--the same argument that the ALA makes when pushing smut into libraries. Deevers says, "Like their cohorts in the pro-abortion movement, it is not surprising that pornography’s advocates (imagine publicly outing yourself as a pornography advocate) appeal to “choice” rather than the characteristics of the disputed conduct because there is simply no defending the conduct."

Sen. Deevers goes on to describe the legal case against pornography. It's not long but packs a punch. Read HERE.

In a 2023 paper titled, "Pornography Consumption and Cognitive-Affective Distress," researchers found:

"In addition, various data indicate that manifestations of the “sexual addiction” related to excessive sexual behavior due to craving may cause inability of self-control and also subjective experiences of internal conflict, very similar to symptoms that usually manifest in obsessive-compulsive disorders (, ; ). These symptoms may have very malignant effects mainly in adolescent age and can determine psychopathological changes related to processing of sexual stimuli and negatively influence sexual fantasies, attitudes, and behavior (; ; ). Further findings also indicate that Internet pornography exposure provides “artificial” (not natural) stimuli that do not correspond to real psychosocial contacts and interpersonal relations, which may lead to eliciting abnormal emotional responses (; ; ; ; )."

Another article details the physiological effects of pornography on the brain, "Studies Show Pornography Changes the Brain." Among the outcomes was less grey matter, weaker brain response, the decision-making part of the brain is reduced, and more extreme stimuli is sought out as time goes on.

Reading the text messaging between the predators and decoys on Operation Soap is troubling. It's distressing and disgusting and revealing.

From: Operation Soap

 

 The ALA wants citizens to believe that providing children age-inappropriate, sexually explicit materials (whether heterosexual, homosexual or transgender) is a First Amendment issue. It is not a First Amendment issue, it is an access issue. Minors should not have access to materials that run counter to their age, their parents' rights to curate materials for them, and that violate community standards.

Those who oppose common sense rant on about the banning of books and censorship, while carrying out an agenda of defilement against our most vulnerable citizens. The ALA indoctrinates librarians with training and techniques to overcome the objections of parents and usurp parental rights.

The societal issue of pornography, the inclusion of age-inappropriate and sexually explicit books in our libraries and schools, and the sexual predation of minors is all connected. And citizens are attacking it from all angles. The battle has never been clearer.

There is good and there is evil. 

Be on the side of groups like Operation Soap. Don't be on the side of organizations like the ALA. It's time to fully expose the works of darkness.

The next board of trustee meeting at the Christian County Library is February 25 at 6 p.m. in Nixa. Your presence and prayers are needed.
