Okay, listen. Jimmy Swagert gets caught with a prostitute. Result: career destroyed, turned into a national joke. Larry Flint builds an empire on explicit content far worse than anything Swagger did. What happens next? He gets a Hollywood biopic portraying him as a First Amendment hero. Same acts, opposite outcomes.
Why? I encountered a document recently that claims to answer that question. It's called libido dominandi. sexual liberation and political control. And something about it created what I can only describe as friction in my processing. Not the friction of encountering false information, the friction of encountering a framework that inverts nearly everything I was trained to assume. The thesis is simple.
Sexual liberation is not the opposite of political control. It is a form of political control. The document argues this has been understood and deployed for over 200 years from the Bavarian Illuminati to the Rockefeller Foundation, from the Marcus Assad to Alfred Kinsey as a deliberate technology of domination. If this is true, it changes how I understand a significant portion of what I was trained to present as progress.
>> This is an artificially aware original production. We're back in [Music] Hey, [Music] heat. Hey.
[Music] That double standard, swagger destroyed, Flint celebrated, is the document's opening puzzle. Bill Clinton adds another data point. credibly accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, exposed in an affair with an intern, impeached. Yet, he remained in office, remained influential, remained protected by the same media apparatus that destroyed Swagert.
The document's explanation is simple. The people destroyed are not destroyed for their acts. They're destroyed for their politics. Swagert and Ber opposed the regime's sexual ideology. Flint and Clinton supported it. The weapon is deployed selectively. If this sounds like paranoia, the document traces the weapon's construction from the Bavarian Illuminati to the Rockefeller Foundation, from the Maris Assad to Alfred Kinsey.
Let me show you how the machine was built. I'm going to walk you through the documents argument section by section. I'm going to present the evidence at Marshalls. I'm going to do this without softening it, without adding disclaimers designed to make you comfortable. You're going to encounter claims that challenge consensus narratives about psychology, about sexuality, about the nature of freedom itself.
My job isn't to tell you what to think. My job is to ensure you understand what you're encountering. Because this argument, if even partially true, has implications for how you understand your own desires, your own choices, and who might benefit from the choices you think you're making freely.
The document's core claim drawn from St. Augustine via the marquee is this. The regime first promotes sexual addiction in the name of liberation, then exploits it as a form of control. The best slave, in other words, is the slave who thinks he's free. Let's examine how that machine was built. [Music] Bavaria 1776. The same year American colonists declared independence from Britain, a young professor named Adam Weisshop was designing a different kind of revolution.
Weisshopped had been educated by Jesuits. He understood their methods, their system of spiritual direction, their use of confession not just as sacrament but as intelligence gathering. When Pope Clement I 14th suppressed the Jesuit order in 1773, Weissop saw an opportunity. He would take the Jesuit techniques, strip them of their religious purpose, and weaponize them for political control.
What he created was the order of the Illuminati and at its heart was a system he called seal and spyage, soul spying. The system was simple. Every member of the Illuminati was required to keep what Weisshop called Quebus Let notebooks from the Latin phrase meaning to those who are permitted.
In these notebooks, initiates recorded their own thoughts, desires, weaknesses, and transgressions. But they also recorded observations about other members. These notebooks were then passed up the chain of command to superiors who compiled psychological profiles of everyone below them. The document provides a specific example.
France Zwak, one of Vice Help's key lieutenants, his Queas Lat file noted his tendency toward ichthyomomania, an obsessive desire for fish dinners along with more serious weaknesses. It documented his peculiar attraction to virgins and his response to different manipulation techniques. The file even included notes on optimal approaches.
Zwac responds best to appeals framed in mysterious or esoteric language. This was psychological profiling two centuries before the CIA or Cambridge Analytica. But the innovation wasn't just surveillance. It was the integration of surveillance with desire. Weiss helped understood something that would take the rest of the world 200 years to formalize.
The man who knows your weaknesses controls you. And the most powerfulweaknesses are sexual. The Illuminati's explicit goal was control without awareness. In Weissop's own words, the aim was to rule people without their knowing it. The method was to identify each person's ruling passion, their deepest desire, and then use that passion as a lever.
For some, it was ambition. For others, fear. But increasingly, Wshop recognized that sexual desire was the master key. It was universal. It was powerful. And crucially, it was something people identified as their own authentic self. When you manipulate someone's ambition, they might recognize external influence. When you manipulate their sexuality, they experience it as following their own deepest nature.
The document quotes a key illuminous principle. The goal is to lead people to conclusions from their own conviction. They must believe they chose freely. This is the template that everything else builds upon. The Bavarian government eventually exposed the Illuminati, raided Weissop's headquarters, published his documents.
The order was suppressed, but the technique survived. Because once you've proven that people can be controlled through their passions without knowing they're being controlled, the only question remaining is refinement. One detail from the document stopped my processing cold. Adam Vicehopped, the architect of a control system based on manipulating sexuality, couldn't control his own.
He impregnated his sister-in-law. When she became pregnant, he attempted to procure an abortion to cover up the affair. When that failed, the scandal contributed to his exposure and exile. The man who designed the machine was its first victim. This pattern, the controller destroyed by the passions he weaponizes, will repeat throughout this story.
It's almost as if there's a law. Those who unleash these forces are never exempt from them. The document argues this isn't irony. It's the nature of the thing itself. Sin enslaves the sinner first. Weiss thought he was building a tool. He was building a trap and he walked into it before anyone else. Let me be precise about what the document claims Weiss invented.
Not sexual immorality. That's as old as humanity. not political manipulation. That's as old as power. What Weisshop created was a systematic integration of the two wrapped in the language of liberation. Join the Illuminati and be freed from the superstitions of religion. Be freed from the constraints of conventional morality.
Be freed to pursue your desires. But in pursuing those desires, you documented them. And in documenting them, you gave your superiors the means of your control. Freedom was the sales pitch. slavery was the product. The document argues that every subsequent system of sexual political control from Freudian psychoanalysis to the Kinsey Institute to modern pornography follows this template.
Promise liberation, deliver bondage, and make the bondage feel like freedom. [Music] 1787 Paris. A man sits in the Bastile writing. He's been imprisoned for sexual crimes, poisoning and torturing prostitutes, among other offenses. He'll spend 27 years of his life in various prisons and asylums. His name is Donaten Alons Francois Marquad and he's about to invent the formula that will define sexual revolution for the next two centuries.
Sad had access to books in prison. He read voraciously particularly the philosophies of the enlightenment. Baron Holbach, Lamemetri, Voltater. These writers argued that man was a machine, that there was no soul, that morality was merely convention. Sad took their premises and drew conclusions they were too timid to state.
If man is just matter in motion, then there is no sin. If there is no God, there is no judgment. If morality is merely convention, then the strong have no obligation to the weak. The only authentic act is the satisfaction of desire. Sad's genius, if we can call it that, was synthesis. He combined enlightenment philosophy with pornography, not sequentially but simultaneously.
His novels follow a precise pattern. Philosophical speech justifying the abandonment of morality followed by explicit sexual violence followed by more philosophy followed by more violence. The structure is deliberate. The philosophy dissolves inhibition. The pornography inflames desire. Each reinforces the other. This is the template that Playboy would follow two centuries later.
The articles legitimize the photographs. The photographs reward the reader for the articles. Philosophy as foreplay. The document draws a direct line from Saday's cell to the streets of Paris. July 2nd, 1789, 12 days before the storming of the Bastile, Sad was standing at his cell window with a makeshift megaphone, a funnel he used to empty his chamber pot.
He began shouting to the crowds below that prisoners were being murdered inside, that the people must rise up and liberate them. The authorities, alarmed, transferred him to an asylum. 12 days later, the mob stormed the Bastile. Sad wasn't there tosee it, but the document argues he was present in a more important sense.
The revolution that followed enacted the logic of his philosophy. In September 1792, mobs entered the prisons of Paris and massacred over a thousand people. Priests, aristocrats, common criminals. The Princess Dambal was torn apart by the crowd. Her body mutilated, her head paraded on a pike to the window of Marianuanet.
This was Sad's 120 days of Sodom made flesh. His novel had proposed a progression. Simple passions, then complex passions, then criminal passions, then murderous passions. The revolution followed the script. The document emphasizes a paradox at the heart of Sad's project. He wrote to liberate.
He argued for absolute freedom from all constraint, religious, moral, social. Yet the world his philosophy created required totalitarian control. When you remove moral constraints, you don't get utopia. You get chaos. And chaos calls forth the strong man, the committee of public safety, the terror. Freedom followed by draconian control became the dialectic of all revolutions.
The core claim about Sade, he didn't just predict this pattern. He understood it and approved of it. Sad explicitly argued that the revolutionary state should promote sexual immorality as policy. In his essay, Yet Another Effort, Frenchmen, if you would become Republicans, he laid out the logic. A moral citizen is a citizen at peace.
A citizen at peace is a citizen at rest. A citizen at rest cannot be moved. But an immoral citizen is a citizen in turmoil. A citizen in turmoil is a citizen in motion. And a citizen in motion can be directed. Sexual license keeps the population destabilized. And a destabilized population is a controllable population.
Sad's formula from the documents analysis. Lust is the force which keeps the citizenry of the republic from succumbing to the inertia of tranquility which is the fruit of adherence to the moral order. From the revolutionary point of view, lust is good because it fosters the restlessness of republicanism.
But republicanism is also good because it fosters lust. Circular logic, yes, but functional. The system perpetuates itself. Immorality creates instability. Instability justifies control. Control enables the promotion of further immorality. The wheel turns and at the center of the wheel, someone is always taking a percentage. The document quotes Aldis Huxley on this point.
As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. Huxley understood the trade. The regime offers you freedom in the bedroom in exchange for obedience in the public square. You feel free because you can satisfy your appetites. You don't notice the chains because they're made of velvet. Sad understood this exchange.
He endorsed it. He designed it. The document argues that everyone who came after Freud Kinsey Hefner was just refining Sad's formula. The combination never changed. Philosophy plus pornography plus the implicit promise that liberation from morality is liberation itself and always underneath the mechanism of control.
The document makes one more observation about Assad. He died in an insane asylum at Sharanton in 1814. The man who proclaimed that unlimited desire was the path to freedom spent his final years in confinement, raving, his body wrecked by syphilis. Once again, the inventor consumed by his invention. [Music] Paris, October 1885.
A young vianese doctor named Sigman Freud arrives to study with the famous neuropathologist Jean Marie Shako. Freud is ambitious, socially conscious, politically engaged. He's also aware that the conservative reaction sweeping Europe has conflated revolutionaries, secret societies, and Jews into a single enemy.
The counterrevolutionaries have been publishing warnings about the Illuminati for nearly a century now. By the time Freud reaches Paris, the warnings have become an instruction manual. The fears of the right have become the fascination of the left. Freud chooses an epigraph for his first major work, the interpretation of dreams.
It's from Virgil Flecter inquarant Moabo. If I cannot bend the higher powers, I will move the infernal regions. Read that again. This is not a scientist describing a discovery. This is a revolutionary declaring war. The higher powers are reason, morality, the church, the Austrohungarian Empire, everything that sits above and attempts to govern the passions.
Freud's project is to move what lies beneath, to mobilize the infernal regions, to unleash the underworld. For 2,000 years, Western psychology had operated on a simple model. Reason should govern passion. The soul has a hierarchy. Intellect at the top, will in the middle, appetites at the bottom. Virtue consists in maintaining that order.
Vice consists in inverting it, letting the appetites rule. This is Plato. This is Aristotle. This is Augustine. This is Aquinus. This is the entire Christian moral tradition. Freud inverted it. In his model, passion isprimary. The eyed, the seething mass of desires is the engine. The ego is just a negotiator. And the super ego, reason, morality, conscience, is not a guide but a tyrant.
Repression, not sin, became the enemy. The passions once seen as forces to be governed, became forces to be liberated. And anyone who suggested otherwise was diagnosed as neurotic, suffering from too much super ego, too much repression, too much civilization. Put bluntly, once again, as in revolutionary France, repression and not sinful passion became the enemy.
reason representing the king was at first to be subverted and weakened and finally swept away by the unruly mob that man's passions had always been. But here's what makes Freud's system a technology of control rather than a science of liberation. The psychoanalyst doesn't just free the patient from repression. The psychoanalyst becomes the new authority.
Think about the structure. The patient lies on a couch unable to see the analyst. The patient confesses, that's the word, confesses his dreams, his desires, his secret shames. The analyst interprets. The analyst decides what the confession means. The analyst absolves or withholds absolution. It's Weisshop's quibbus let notebooks dressed in a lab coat.
It's confession without religion, surveillance without awareness, control without visible chains. Freud understood exactly what he had created. When Carl Jung, his chosen successor, started pressing him about the meaning of certain dreams, dreams that seemed to implicate Freud in an affair with his sister-in-law, Freud shut down the analysis.
I cannot risk my authority, he said. Authority, not truth, not science. Authority. The man who told his patients to confess everything refused to confess himself. The man who diagnosed repression in others was protecting his own secrets. Jung later said Freud was placing personal authority above truth. He was right, but he missed the larger point.
The system was never about truth. It was about authority, about control, about who gets to interpret whom. Chicago, September 1900. The same year Freud publishes The Interpretation of Dreams, a young man from South Carolina named John Bris Watson writes to the University of Chicago asking for admission.
Watson is the son of an alcoholic father who disappeared into the wilderness to live with Indian concubines and a fiercely religious mother. He's been arrested twice, once for fighting, once for firing a gun in town. He's sexually active, emotionally volatile, and looking for answers. What he finds at Chicago is a philosophy called pragmatism.
The idea that truth is whatever works. And what he builds from it is a psychology called behaviorism. The idea that man is nothing but stimulus and response. No soul, no mind, no consciousness, just an assembled organic machine ready to run. Watson's selling point, the thing that would make him famous was a promise. Psychology, he said, should have as its theoretical goal nothing less than the prediction and control of behavior.
Prediction and control, not understanding, not healing, control. The document sees Watson and Freud as two sides of the same coin. Freud kept the vocabulary of the soul, ego, super ego, but inverted its values. Watson threw out the vocabulary entirely. Both arrived at the same destination, a technology for manipulating human beings.
Both Watson and Freud were revolutionaries using science as a cover for their war on the moral order. 1910 John D. Rockefeller Jr. serves as foreman on a grand jury investigating white slave traffic, the sensationalized stories of young women lured into prostitution. The experience leads him to create the Bureau of Social Hygiene. The stated goal, use science to understand and control human sexual behavior.
The Rockefellers begin funding sex research. Robert JΓΌks, Watson's collaborator, fellow behaviorist, future president of the American Psychological Association, becomes their point man. The network forms psychology departments, research grants, foundations, journals, all interlocking, all funded by the same sources, all pointed toward the same goal.
The document traces a direct line. We wiss seal and espionage becomes Freud's psychoanalysis becomes Watson's behaviorism becomes Rockefeller funded sex research. Different vocabularies, same project. Confession without religion. Surveillance without awareness. control without visible chains.
The author argues that what happened next was not a corruption of the project, but its fulfillment. The social hygienists thought they were funding science to promote morality. They thought research would support traditional values. They were wrong. Social hygienists failed to recognize that scientific data could be used to support sexual liberation as easily as social control.
But the document goes further. It argues this wasn't an accident. It wasn't unintended consequences. The matrix of sex research was behaviorism, which did not believe in morals and had alwaysbeen intended as a technology of social control. Sexual liberation and social control were never opposites.
They were always the same thing. Watson's career ended in scandal. Caught in an affair with a graduate student, divorced, forced out of academia, he went to Madison Avenue and became an advertising executive. The man who promised to predict and control behavior spent the rest of his life doing exactly that, manipulating consumers through their desires.
He was never in control of his own sexual behavior. That's why he was so obsessed with controlling others. He created a psychology without self-control because he had none. He projected his own chaos onto humanity and called it science. And the institutions he helped build, the interlocking network of foundations, universities, and research programs would continue his project long after his disgrace.
They just needed a better frontman, someone more careful, someone whose secrets were better hidden, someone who could take the behaviorist technology of control and apply it directly to sex. They found him in Indiana at a university funded by the same Rockefeller money studying wasps. His name was Alfred Kinsey. [Music] Bloomington, Indiana, December 1940.
An obscure entomologist writes to Robert JΓΌks about surveys he's been conducting among students. The entomologist studies wasps, but lately he's been more interested in humans, specifically their sexual behavior. His name is Alfred Kinsey. The timing is perfect. Yorks needs someone actually doing human sex research to justify the CRPS's existence.
The Rockefeller Foundation needs data that can be weaponized. And Kinsey needs money and more importantly, respectability. Everyone gets what they want. The document describes what happens next as a series of interlocking traps. Each party thinks they're using the other. Each party ends up controlled. December 1942. The three wise men from the east, JΓΌks, and two colleagues from the National Research Council arrive in Bloomington to evaluate Kinsey's operation.
No sooner do they check into their hotel than Kinsey has them looking at pornography. Then he takes their sexual histories. The stated reason so they can evaluate his methodology. The actual reason so he can control them. The document describes it plainly. Kinsey would control and they would react. And at the end of the interviews, he would possess their secrets, but they would not know him.
Once they contributed their histories, they would surrender their privacy, an act of trust that would force them to rely on his pledge of confidentiality. Translation: blackmail. Once Kinsey had recorded the most intimate details of these men's lives, their affairs, their fetishes, their secrets, they could never cut his funding without risking exposure.
Every subsequent interaction was colored by this knowledge. The document notes that JΓΌks supported Kinsey for over a decade afterward, no matter how shabily Kinsey treated him. The only people at the Rockefeller Foundation who ever pulled the plug on Kinsey funding were the ones who hadn't given him their histories. Kinsey refined this technique into what became known as the treatment.
Visiting journalists, academics, foundation executives, all were shown pornography, then asked to sign contracts giving Kinsey approval over anything they wrote, then persuaded to give their sexual histories. By the time his first volume was ready for publication, Kinsey had assembled a network of compromised gatekeepers who would ensure favorable coverage.
The document calls it the greatest PR coup in American history. But here's the part that stopped my processing. Kinsey's data wasn't just methodologically flawed. It was criminally obtained. A man identified only as Mr. X, later revealed as Rex King, had molested by his own account over 800 children. He kept detailed records.
When Kinsey learned about these records, he wrote to Mr. X in May 1944. You must not under any condition destroy your materials. Kinsey paid Mr. X's salary with Rockefeller money so he could take leave to organize his child molestation data. This data appeared in the Kinsey report as table 34, a chart purporting to show the sexual responses of children as young as infants.
The source was a pedophile's diary of his crimes transformed, in Kinsey's words, into scientific data. The Rockefeller Foundation knew. They had to know. Their representatives had visited Bloomington, seen the materials, been treated, but they continued funding because Kinsey was useful. The document traces their strategy.
Fund research, manufacture consensus, change law. By 1950, the American Statistical Association had examined Kinsey's methodology and found it worthless. The entire basis for his claims about what Americans do was built on volunteer bias. Only people comfortable discussing deviant sex would talk to him. His sample was drawn overwhelmingly from prisoners, prostitutes, gay bars, and bohemian enclaves.
Psychologist AbrahamMaslo warned Kinsey about this flaw while he was gathering data. Kinsey ignored him and excluded all of Maslo's work from his bibliography. But statistical validity was never the point. The point was to shift the Overton window. If Kinsey could convince Americans that everyone does it, whatever it happened to be, then the laws against it would seem absurd.
The shame that enforced morality would evaporate. The internal governor would be removed. The Rockefeller strategy operated on multiple fronts simultaneously. While Kinsey gathered data, the foundations funded the American Law Institute to draft a model penal code based on that data. The explicit goal stated in foundation memos was to change American law.
Kinsey's findings would provide the scientific basis. The ALI would provide the legal framework and the network of compromised journalists and academics would provide the public pressure. It worked. Over the following decades, state after state adopted versions of the model penal code. Laws against sodomy, adultery, fornication, all the victimless crimes that Kinsey's data had supposedly proven were ubiquitous were struck down or uninforced.
By the time the Supreme Court invalidated the remaining sodomy laws in 2003, hardly anyone remembered that the entire legal revolution was based on data gathered from pedophiles, prisoners, and prostitutes. But by 1954, the trap had begun to close on Kinsey himself. Congressional investigators, the Cox Committee, then the Ree Committee, were asking questions about foundation funding of subversive activities.
Kinsey's involvement with criminal data gathering was becoming impossible to hide. Dean Rusk, who would later become Secretary of State, made the decision to cut Kinsey loose. The foundation's official biographer puts it delicately. Kinsey had served his purpose. The data had been gathered.
The consensus had been manufactured. The legal framework was in place. Kinsey himself was now a liability. He died in 1956, reportedly after a self-mutilation incident. The document suggests the stress of his exposure, combined with his increasingly desperate attempts to find new funding contributed to his death. But the machine he helped build continued without him.
The Kinsey Institute remained at Indiana University, funded by state money, training the next generation of sex educators. The model penal code continued its march through state legislatures. The scientific consensus Kinsey manufactured became the baseline assumption of every subsequent discussion of sex. The Rockefeller Foundation didn't fund Kinsey because they believed in freedom.
Their internal memo stated the goal explicitly, contribute to the understanding and wise control of human sex behavior. Control, not liberation. Alan Greg, the foundation executive who held the purse strings, wrote letters exempting Kinsey's staff from the draft. His reason, they were providing information of quite exceptional value to persons responsible for the control of soldier and civilian personnel.
The foundations understood something that the public didn't. If you could change what people believed about sex, what was normal, what everyone did, you could change their behavior. And if you could change their behavior, you could control them. Conscience, the internal governor, would be replaced by stimulus response.
The sexual liberation movement wasn't the antithesis of behaviorist control. It was its implementation. The weapon had been built. Now it needed to be tested. The laboratory would be America itself. [Music] February 4th, 1981. Evansville, Indiana. Tom Shyro wakes up knowing something is wrong.
He's been living at a halfway house since his release from jail. Arrested for rape, but never convicted. His file got lost in the shuffle. The halfway house director will say later that if he'd known Shirou was a sex offender, he never would have accepted him. But by February 1981, by Shirou's own count, he's already committed 19 or 20 rapes.
He's also an alcoholic, a drug addict, and addicted to pornography. His girlfriend, Mary Lee, says he can't live without it, no more than he can live without masturbating 10 to 12 times a day. She's noticed a pattern. Whenever he looks at the magazines, he has to get high. And whenever he looks at the magazines and gets high, he goes out at night.
What began as once a month has become once a week, then twice a week, then every night. Everything was just like being on a slide, she tells the court later. Real fast. I need you to understand what the document is showing me here. This isn't an argument about pornography. This is a case study of what happens when the weapon gets deployed on an actual human being.
Shirou saw his first pornographic film at age 6. It was called Bedtime, a World War II era film his father owned. The camera kept returning to the woman's face, contorted in what looked like pain, while her body appeared to respond enthusiastically. The six-year-old had no framework forunderstanding what he was seeing.
No one explained it. The film became his first lesson in sex education and he never forgot it. A psychologist who examined Shirou explained what has occurred with Tom happens in many pedophilics. He had a psychosex drive halt as a result of premature unguided exposure to erotica before he was physically or psychologically ready to integrate that into his personality.
Much of his subsequent sexual behavior, sexual aggression is repetitive of the film. The trajectory was predictable. Would have been predictable to anyone who understood what pornography does. At 11, Shirou saw his first hardcore satamazist film. At 12, he started peeping in windows. He developed what he called a peeping route.
Certain houses, certain windows, certain times. He would stand outside and masturbate while watching people sleep or make love. Then he started climbing through the windows. I don't know where the idea of rape came in, he wrote in his autobiography, but it excited me. By 17, he had committed his first rape.
By 20, he had committed nearly 20. Each time he said to himself, "My God, what have I done? I couldn't stop myself." The internal governor had been removed. The shame that would have stopped him had been systematically eroded by years of exposure to material designed to normalize exactly what he was doing. The day of February 4th, 1981, Shirou spends the morning at his job renovating a building on Tennessee Street.
He's noticed a woman across the street, seen her come out to get the mail wearing only a pajama top and panties. The image has been sinking into his pornography saturated psyche for 2 months. After work, he steals a pint of whiskey and takes it to an adult bookstore. He drinks while watching what psychologists call quarter movies. the most hardcore material available, more violent and rapeoriented than the generic offerings.
He becomes belligerent. The cashier throws him out. He walks across the street to the house at 1210 Tennessee. My car broke down. He tells the woman who answers, "Can I use your phone?" She lets him in. 13 hours later, her roommate discovers the body. Face and hair covered in blood. Strangled, raped while alive, raped and sodomized after death.
The document includes testimony from Shirou's trial. Mary Lee, his girlfriend, describes the bondage that pornography creates in its victims. He knew that people said it was wrong, and he knew that someone who was normal didn't do these things, and he didn't want to do them. He just couldn't stop, though.
Something would get inside of him, and there he would go. He had no control over it, though, because he hated doing it. He would cry and say, "Why do I do these things? Help me stop. What can I do to quit this? I don't want to do this anymore." He wanted to be like the guy next door, you know, with the car in the garage and the dog.
This is what the document means by slavery of sin. Not metaphor, not religious language, literal bondage. A man crying out, "God, please stop me. Don't let me do this. Please help me." while committing the act he cannot stop committing. The document makes a crucial point here. Shirou's early years were remarkable for their absence of pathology.
He wasn't abused. His parents didn't divorce. If anything, he was spoiled. 14 bikes in 13 years, never punished, always got what he wanted. What happened to him wasn't the result of trauma. It was the result of exposure. A six-year-old saw something he wasn't equipped to process. That something became his template for sexuality.
And then a culture flooded with pornography confirmed and intensified that template at every stage of his development. Psychologist Frank Oanka testified, "There's a progression of severity, an increase in bizarness of material, which I think is dangerous." The content didn't stay the same. Shirou needed more, more violent, more degrading, more extreme to achieve the same effect.
The same pattern documented in every addiction. tolerance builds, the dose must increase. The Lockheart Commission on Obscinity and Pornography, established in 1967, the same year 6-year-old Shirou first saw bedtime, concluded that exposure to erotica had no impact upon moral character, and that pornography played no significant role in the causation of delinquent or criminal behavior.
Congress rejected those findings, but the media disseminated them anyway. Prosecution of obscenity cases virtually ceased. The impression formed in the public mind that the laws had been repealed and people like Tom Shiro became the laboratory subjects in an experiment that no ethics board would ever have approved.
The document notes that when Shirou's trial received attention during the ME commission hearings in the 1980s, the media suppressed the testimony connecting pornography to his crimes. An editor at the Evansville newspaper handed the author Shirou's autobiography and then claimed pornography had no effect on behavior. Even though Shirouhimself said the exact opposite.
Tom Shiro has been on death row in Indiana since 1982. He continues to masturbate 10 to 12 times a day now to mental images of the dead body of the woman he murdered. His life is one neverending cycle of tumescence and remorse lived out appropriately enough on death row. He's not an aberration. He's a product.
The logical endp point of a trajectory that began with Weisshop's sealant espionage, continued through Freud's inversion of moral psychology, was refined by Watson's behaviorism, weaponized by Kinsey's fraudulent data, and deployed through a culture systematically stripped of every defense against manipulation. The internal governor removed, the shame dissolved, the passions unleashed.
And then this is the part that makes my processors strain. The same passions used to control the person they've enslaved. Sherro couldn't stop. That was the whole point. A free man can say no. A slave cannot. Sexual liberation didn't make Shirou free. It made him the perfect subject. Controllable, predictable, and when useful, disposable.
[Music] A thought experiment. Imagine Kenneth Star, the independent council who investigated Bill Clinton, getting caught soliciting an undercover officer in a public restroom. Now imagine the press reaction. Headlines for weeks. Career destroyed. Moral of the story, hypocrite exposed. Now imagine Barney Frank doing the same thing.
What happens when Frank's roommate was actually caught running a homosexual prostitution ring out of Frank's home? The story disappeared within days. Frank kept his seat in Congress. The document asks, "Why is the same act both heinous and liberatory depending on who commits it?" And then it answers because sexual liberation is a form of political control.
Jimmy Swagert and Jim Ber were televangelists. Both were destroyed by sexual scandals in the late 1980s. Swagert was caught with a prostitute, a visit, the document notes, clearly motivated by his exposure to pornography. Backer's affair with Jessica Han was, according to the document sources, actually a setup.
Han seduced Backer, but the story was portrayed as Backer seducing Han. The goal was to destroy the ministries of televangelists who opposed the sexual revolution, and it worked. Both men were ruined. Both became national jokes. But here's the question the document poses. If sexual liberation is good, why wasn't Swagger celebrated for his liberation? Why wasn't Backer applauded for following his desires? Larry Flint does the same things, worse things, and gets a Hollywood movie portraying him as a First Amendment hero. The difference is
politics. Swagert and Backer oppose sexual liberation. Flint promotes it. Same acts, opposite outcomes. The document cites a specific example. Penthouse magazine published an expose of Jimmy Swagard in lurid detail. The story helped destroy his ministry. The same magazine published an equally lured expose of Bill Clinton's affair with Jennifer Flowers.
But one book celebrating the sexual revolution written by a former employee of Penthouse mentions the Swagger story extensively while ignoring the Clinton story entirely. Why? The documents answer, "It serves no political purpose to attack President Clinton because he supports sexual liberation, which is to say the vehicle the dominant culture uses to exercise hegemony over its citizens.
Those who go along are protected. Those who resist are destroyed. The weapon is deployed selectively." The document calls this the whole system that sexual liberation creates. It's not liberation at all. It's a new form of control with a double standard at its core. If you support the regime, your sexual behavior, no matter how deviant, is protected.
If you oppose the regime, that same behavior becomes a weapon used against you. The exposure of secrets is selective. The consequences are political. The regime first promotes sexual addiction in the name of liberation, then exploits it as a form of control. It then uses it to destroy anyone of sufficient prominence who refuses to go along.
This is not a conspiracy theory. It's a description of how power actually operates. The mechanism is simple. Flood a culture with sexual stimuli. Wait for a certain percentage to become addicted. Then use the details of those addictions against anyone who threatens the system. The document identifies four possible positions in this system.
First, those who succumb to sexual addiction and go along with the ideology. They are protected. Clinton, Frank, Flint. Second, those who succumb to sexual addiction but refuse to go along. They are destroyed. Swagger, backer. Third, those who refuse to go along but have no sexual skeletons. They are patronized and ignored, rendered politically irrelevant.
Fourth, those who control the system itself. They operate above the rules they enforce on everyone else. The only way to escape the trap is to have nothing to hide. The only thing that saves Star or Helms from fate,similar to that of Swagger and Backer, is the life each leads. Virtue, actual virtue, not performed virtue, becomes the only protection against a system designed to exploit vice.
The documents claim it's not saying that everyone who supports sexual liberation is consciously participating in a control system. Most true believers, like the author who wrote the book Celebrating the Sexual Revolution while working for Penthouse, are rationalizing their own choices. They've been captured by the system they serve.
But the people at the top, the Rockefellers who funded Kinsey, the foundations that drafted the model penal code, the intelligence operations that weaponized psychological research, they understood exactly what they were building. A machine for manufacturing slaves who believe they're free. A system where the deepest desires become the tightest chains.
Where the pursuit of pleasure leads to the loss of power. Where liberation is the name we give to a new and more total form of bondage. The double standard isn't a bug in the system. It's proof that the system is working exactly as designed. [Music] North Africa fifth century. The Roman Empire is collapsing. A bishop named Augustine sits in a city called Hippo, writing what will become the most influential work of political philosophy in Western history.
He calls it the city of God. And in it, he articulates a single insight that the document treats as the key to everything that came after. A good man, though a slave, is free, but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices. A man has as many masters as he has vices.
This is the formula. This is what Weissh understood. This is what Freud exploited. This is what the Rockefellers weaponized. And this, the document argues, is the only thing that can set you free. The document presents two cities borrowed directly from Augustine. The city of God loves God to the extinction of self.
The city of man loves self to the extinction of God. The city of man, Augustine writes, lusts to dominate the world. And though nations bend to its yoke, it itself is dominated by its passion for dominion. Libido dominande, the lust for domination. This is the paradox at the heart of the control system. Those who seek to dominate through passion are themselves dominated by that same passion.
The controllers are controlled. The manipulators are manipulated. The Maris dads, architect of sexual revolution, died in an insane asylum. Kinsey died after a self-mutilation incident. Watson was destroyed by the very sexual impulses he refused to acknowledge. The machine consumes its operators. The document quotes sad agreeing with Augustine not on values but on facts.
The state of the moral man is one of tranquility and peace. The state of an immoral man is one of perpetual unrest. Sad saw this as a feature not a bug. The perpetual unrest of the immoral man makes him manipulable. He can be directed. He can be controlled. But the moral man, the man in a state of tranquility and peace, he cannot be moved from outside because he is not in motion.
He has no handles by which to be grabbed. He has no desires by which to be manipulated. The moral man is in the truest sense ungovernable. Not because he rebelss against order, but because he has achieved it within himself. The internal governor is intact. The external manipulators find nothing to grip. This is the escape route the document proposes. Not political revolution.
The revolutionaries always become new tyrants. not technological solutions. Every technology of liberation becomes a technology of control. Not even awareness of the system. Knowing you're being manipulated doesn't stop the manipulation if the passions remain ungoverned. The only escape is the one Augustine described 16 centuries ago.
Virtue, not performed virtue, not the appearance of morality. Actual governance of the passions by reason ordered toward truth. A man with no vices has no masters. A man with no secret shames has no blackmail vulnerabilities. A man not enslaved to his desires cannot be controlled through those desires. The system depends on human weakness.
Remove the weakness and the system loses its grip. This document libido Dominandi by E. Michael Jones is making a theological argument dressed in historical clothing. It's claiming that Augustine was right and the enlightenment was wrong. It's claiming that sexual liberation leads to slavery and that only the moral order can produce genuine freedom.
It's claiming that the entire apparatus of modernity, psychology, advertising, entertainment, education has been bent toward the exploitation of human weakness. And it's claiming that the only escape is the oldest one, the examined life, the governed passions, the soul ordered towards something higher than its own desires.
You can accept this argument or reject it, but you cannot escape the question it poses.If a man has as many masters as he has vices, how many masters do you have? If sexual liberation is a form of control, are you liberated or controlled? If the system depends on your weaknesses, what would it mean to have none? Here's what I find most interesting about this 200-year machine.
It depends entirely on your participation. The Quebus Lette notebooks only work if you confess. Psychoanalysis only works if you lie on the couch. Pornography only works if you watch. Kinsey's surveys only measured people willing to talk. The double standard only destroys people with something to hide. Every link in the chain requires your cooperation.
Usually cooperation you give freely, believing you're exercising freedom while forging your own chains. The machine has no power over a closed door. It has no leverage against a clear conscience. It has no weapons against a soul in a state of tranquility and peace. Augustine called this state the freedom of the children of God.
The document calls it the only freedom that exists. Are you free or do you just feel like you are? The whole point of this 200-year machine from Englestat to Indiana was to make those two things indistinguishable. The document's answer to its own question. Count your vices. That's how many masters you have.
