In every city of our nation, there lurks a bevy of predators. These monsters stalk us like  lions  stalk their prey. They prey on our children, our wives, and our  loved  ones.

Every day of of the year, a man, woman or child  falls prey to one of these predators. We anguish and lament the loss of another precious life, and we weep and wail, and our hearts ache and break as we  mourn the  brutal rape, or kidnapping, or murder, or other violent  action that has happened to someone amongst us.

But  soon, the same event occurs a little time later, to another person.  Then  again, it happens. And again. Over and over, we are bombarded with stories about another person who has become victim to an act of violence. You would like to think that the astute and very brilliant minds would have found a solution. After all, they figured out how to go to the moon. They figured out how to do some rather marvelous things. They’ve been able to achieve some astounding things in our day, including enabling us to look at billions of stars we’ve never seen before. Too bad, those same minds can’t see the millions of criminals that are creeping up on us and gaining ground daily.

You’d think they would have been coming up with solutions to the problem. But, they haven’t. Might be they’re not so brilliant after all. The solutions they’ve come up with thus far are not working.

Sexual Predators Multiplying

Sexual predators are rising in numbers in this nation and around the world. In  America,  between 1980 and 1986, the number of sexual abuse cases  involving children tripled. There are more than 300,000 child sexual abuse reports investigated annually in our nation. [1] One rather incredible  statistic published in 2001 in the Annual Review of Sociology, and shown  in the U.S. Bureau of Justice statistics, [2] noted that for all kinds  of violent crime in the year 1998, including sexual assaults, 87.9 of  every one thousand adolescents between the ages of twelve to fifteen became victims.

Teen  Victims

It gets worse for teenagers between the ages of 16-19, who suffer from violent crime at the rate of 96.2 for  every one thousand of them. Indeed, their numbers rose to over 123 per  one thousand teens in 1995, but dropped steadily afterwards. In the  year 2005, the number was down to 44.3 victims of a violent crime per  one thousand teens between the ages of sixteen and nineteen.

Those numbers might sound really great, until you do  the math on them. If you look closer at those numbers, that means that  out of 1000 children from the ages 16-19, approximately  44 of them will, at some point in time during those years, suffer from  some kind of violent crime, including sexual assaults and murder.

To  really comprehend the significance of those numbers, we must look at  the U.S. Census Bureau tables which tell us that there were, in the  2000 Census, 21,324,186 children between fifteen and nineteen years  age. [3] <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><img src="" /><td></tr><tr><td><td></tr></table>So, statistically, we can say approximately .04% of those children  are going to be victimized during those years. That translates to 852,967 children becoming victims of a violent crime—often a sexually  violent crime— in a single year. That is a staggering amount of  children who have become victims of a predator. And, that’s only  one age bracket. Truly, our children are suffering. They are being assaulted  from a wide array of predators, while society is in a moral stupor—deaf  and dumb to it all.

But, we adults fare little better.

If you leap forward to those who are between the ages  of 35 to 49, the statistics show 17.6 of every 1000 in that age bracket  are victims of a violent crime. In terms of population, that translates  to a staggering 1.17 million men and women who will be victims of a  violent crime during those years. For those of us over the age of fifty,  to the age of sixty-four, 11.4 out of every thousand will be victims  of a violent crime. That translates to 593,567 men and women in that age bracket who will fall victim to a violent crime. That’s over  a half million of us.

So, do the math for just those three age brackets  alone and you have, from just that portion of the population, 2,616,534  men, women, and teens, who, in a single year, will be a victim of a  violent crime. And, the numbers for the population as a whole is even  worse, because in 2005, the government data showed that 21 American citizens  out of every 1000 suffered from a violent crime in that year. That means  that out of a population of approximately 296,507,061, somewhere in  excess of 6 million of us suffered from a violent crime. Six million. That’s a six with six zeros after it!

We are Being Stalked

Is it any wonder that we live in a state of fear, that  the older citizens are perpetually nervous, and that millions of women  are too frightened to even stay alone at home with the kids at night  when the husband must be gone? In a nation with almost 17 thousand (17,000) murders a year (that’s like having six September 11′s strung together in a single year), we are a nation paralyzed with fear.

Our children are being assaulted, raped, murdered, kidnapped, and we are being stalked  by predators that live next door. The predator numbers have risen as  the population has increased. More and more deviant behavior patterns  are emerging. More and more “crazies” are showing up. We’re seeing the real-life Freddie Krueger’s come into our neighborhoods. We keep wondering, “Why? Why us? Why is this happening?”

There are answers, but most don’t want to hear  those answers, don’t want to believe those answers, and even if  they do believe them, they don’t want to take the steps necessary  to stop the nightmares visiting on our streets on a daily basis. Ironically,  our behavior, as a society, is akin to those who are addicted to Crystal Methamphetamine. Even though our skin is blotchy, reddened and scabbed  over, and our ability to chew our food is diminished because our teeth  are starting to loosen, and though we live through hundreds of Nightmares  on Elm Streets, we can’t—and will not—escape.

A Parallel

There is an interesting parallel to our societal behavior  with respect to our refusal to remedy the problem of predators, and  someone addicted to “crystal meth.” First of all, virtually  all of the meth made today is “home-made” (and illegal).  It is a stimulant to the central nervous system, giving an adrenaline-like rush to the brain and spinal cord. Our body has neurotransmitters—chemical  substances—which are used to communicate to the body, transmitting  information that influences our moods, thinking, and other systems in  the body.

Meth provides an overload of stimulation, such that individuals high on “crystal meth” have a feeling of power  and invincibility. But, in reality, they are completely unaware of the deterioration of their intellectual abilities, the drastic diminishment of their physical abilities, and even oblivious to their horrid appearance.  They begin to live in a fantasy world, blind to everything except  their need for the drug. They will sacrifice anything they own (or that  you own) in order to supply their habit.

We’re so much like these meth addicts—so  very much.

Sadly, we don’t even know it.

Have you ever wondered why it is there are so many “Weirdos”  out there? Have you ever given thought to the reasons why there are  such a large number of individuals who seem to have no conscience, and  who seem to be completely without feelings? They have no sorrow for  their crimes—only sorrow for being caught. They have no remorse.  They can brutalize a child, yet feel only pleasure and a feeling of empowerment. They never identify with their victim, never wonder at the terror of their victim, and never consider the absolute nightmare of horror that destroyed their victim’s mind and life after they  were done with them.

Have you ever wondered how that is possible? Have  you wondered why the numbers of such freakish individuals is rising?  Is there some kind of Freak School or Monster 101 class for such beings?  Where is the factory for these aliens, these apparent sub-human species? Is there a school to teach them how to be monsters?

There is such a “school,” and there are  “lessons” being taught to these monsters, these predators  who stalk us and our children. But, I’m also convinced that we—as  a society—are unwilling to shut the “schools” down.  In fact, we’re even willing to supply the “monsters” from  our own homes, and we’re willing to supply the victims, from our own homes.

But, somehow, we’re not willing to shut down the training centers. The “brilliant” minds of our day just can’t figure it out. They’ve bought into a culturalized view of societal norms that has warped their ability to reason and see what is, to many of us, obvious. They can fix Hubble to see the stars, but they can’t fix their minds to see the monsters and their origins.

We Practice Wahhabism

We’re very much like many of the Muslim countries  who are in a quandary similar to our own. The Saudis have long had schools  in which Wahhabism is taught. This is a “brand” of Islam that  teaches rigid and strict of interpretations of the Koran (Curan, or  al-quran).

Saudi officials gave much assurance  that such had been done, but evidence from some sources, suggests otherwise. There is, in Saudi Arabia, a “head knowledge”  of the need for such reform, but there appears to be an absence of political  will. In order to eliminate the Wahhabism teachings, or even reform  them, the Saudi government would pit itself against very powerful imans  (Muslim clerics presumably able to lead others in all aspects of life,  and thus, given enormous respect by the populace.). These imans, if roused, could threaten the political life of the powerful House of Saud.

The Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Prince Turki  al-Faisal, noted that reforms had been made with respect to the training  of the teachers and in the messages “given to children in the  formative years,” and added that it was done “for our own  security and our own educational standard.” [4] However, The Center  for Religious Freedom at Freedom House studied some of the textbooks  used in the Saudi public schools and disputed the assertions of the  Saudi officials.

Nina Shea, the director of the center, noted that the  textbooks reflected “an ideology of hatred against the other,  against Christians, Jews, other Muslims—for instance, Shiites  and the majority

Sunni Muslims—and all others who do not subscribe  to the Wahhabi doctrine,” and even taught that Christians and  Jews are ‘apes and pigs;’ and, they issued a dire warning  not to befriend or even respect non-believers. [5]

In America, we’re faced with the same problem,  and we’re dealing with the problem very much like the Saudi government  dealt with the problem of Wahhabism. We know we’ve got a problem  with crime and that violent predators are on the increase. We know that  there are “crops” of these maniacs being grown within our  borders. We know they are coming out of training well-versed in the  killing arts, and that they are skilled manipulators, and that they  are as addicted to their lust for their crimes as a “crystal meth”addict.

So, what are we doing to stop them?

Well, we’re trying to stop them by enacting new  laws—stricter laws, which sweep broader, and which increase the  penalties. But, it was always against the law to molest a child, or  rape a woman, or murder a citizen. We’ve thought, somehow, that  passing legislation will stop these predators. It is a band-aid, nothing  more. Sure, Megan’s Law [6] is a good thing—as well as other  legislation—and it has helped identify and locate certain predators, but  it still will not stop a sexual predator.

Once that mind is “bent”  into a predatory pretzel, no legislation is going to unbend it.

How to Stop the Predators

To stop the predators, we’ve got to stop  their minds from getting “bent.” We’ve got to stop  their psyches from being inculcated with the mind-bending images and  scenarios that are crammed into them from birth. We’ve got to make it  a crime, or at least a violation of civil law, to “bend” the mind and psyche of a child. (You’d think that would be a no-brainer.)

We have to stop the invasion of their minds by the Death  Gamers and the Hollywood violence and porn factories which depict sex  and violence in such a way as to interfere with the central nervous system, and which desensitize humans so as to eradicate their normal, ordinary emotions, turning them into beasts of prey without morals, without feelings, and possessed of a seared conscience.

The invasion of the minds of so many of these children  is causing us to grow up generations of warped, perverted, and emotionally  damaged men and women. They are unaware of the serious re-wiring that  has gone on in their minds and their emotional psyche. Those that are  in their family often don’t see the trauma that has taken place until  it’s too late. Sometimes, it’s only when they turn a fantasy into a  nightmare for someone that people suddenly realize little Jimmy “really  had some problems, but golly-gee-whiz, I never thought they were this  bad.”

Realize that not all children are the same and do not  have the same minds, nor the same backgrounds, nor the same emotional  temperaments. Some of them come from homes and environments that are  already cauldrons of scalding waters of life. Add to that, images of  violence that are so powerful and radical that they indelibly permeate  and imprint a mind and psyche that is already weakened, and you have  the perfect specimen for the role of Freddie.

You think it isn’t possible? Do you think horror movies  embedded into the minds of children has no effect on them? Do you honestly believe that children watching hour-upon-hour of graphic violence and sex, and minimizing moral values to the point of non-existence, does not sear a conscience, and that it does not create lasting, motivational  impressions upon minds—especially young minds?

Advertisers Know the Power of Media

I suggest you ask  Anheuser-Busch why it bought 10 advertising spots for Super Bowl XLI (the same number it purchased for the Bowl game the year earlier). [7]  Ad rates were pegged at $2.6 million for a 30-second spot. And, while  it is probable that they were able to get the rates down a bit, one  still must wonder why it is that any business would be willing to spend  that kind of money on just 30 seconds of advertising if it didn’t work.

Do you understand what advertising really is about?  Do you comprehend the nature of advertising? In simple terms, advertising  is the effort by a company to place their product before your eyes with the express purpose of influencing you favorably towards their product, and for the ultimate goal of inducing you to purchase their product.

And, these guys think that in 30 seconds, they can induce enough people to like their product and to buy it, to justify spending millions on that short span of advertising time. They are willing to invest in branding the image and name of their product into the mind and psyche of the viewer so as to later, produce profit. After all, advertising is about selling, and selling is about profit.

They are willing to bet millions of dollars on their  ability to shape the minds of millions of people in 30 seconds of time.  It must work, else they’d not be coming back again and again.  Busch came back. So did CareerBuilder.com, General Motors, and Pepsi-Co.  These companies also bought more than one spot of advertising time.

But, some of you would try and argue that sitting a  child—especially an emotionally stressed child—in front  of a television, or video game, or movie screen, or computer, and exposing  that mind to exciting, thrilling, chilling, and breath-taking scenes  of violence and gore and sex for hours—not just 30 seconds—somehow  does nothing to the psyche and mind of that child. What colossal ignorance  and arrogance!

If you don’t believe there is a link to real violence and to the steady  stream of graphic violence and pornography that is flooding our world (and the minds of our children),  then you’re (a) not well read; and (b) not a critical thinker;  and (c) were terrible as a child trying to connect dots (no doubt you  still color outside the lines).

The Link Between Graphic Violence and Real Violence

In 1995, Frontline did a documentary entitled “Does  TV Kill?” Reporter Alan Austin and a crew (which included psychologist  Leonard Eron) went to Hudson, New York to interview, observe and film  people—particularly children—to study their behavior and  attitudes about watching television. [8] The hour-long documentary was  very revealing.

The crew targeted several volunteer families in the  town and trained their cameras on those who watched television. Eron  had done similar work in 1960, finding then that the children who watched  violent programs were more aggressive in school. He returned in 1971  and 1980, re-interviewing the same subjects. He found that those who  had absorbed a substantial amount of violent television programming,  had problems with violence in their late adolescence and early adulthood.

Indeed, these individuals had more interaction with the police, having substantially more arrests and criminal convictions, were more aggressive  within the confines of their homes, and, significantly, had children  who were more aggressive. [9]

One rather stunning scene in the documentary came near  the end of the program when a young boy, standing with his parents,  was asked what he’d do if offered one million dollars to give  up watching television. Without any hesitation, he rejected it. His  mother, her voice ringing with disbelief, said, “Not even for  a million?” When asked why, his response was to the effect that  there would be nothing else to do. Clearly, this child represents the  attitudes of millions.

Media is a Mind Drug More Powerful Than Cocaine

They’re addicted to a drug that’s  not taken with a needle, but is taken directly into the mind, and its  effect is akin to a drug in that it substantially alters the mind, alters  the attitudes, alters perceptions, and even affects the children physically.  One estimate made by researchers in the early 1990’s found that  by the time a child left elementary school, he or she had seen 8,000  murders and over 100,000 acts of violence. [10]

Parts of Eron’s studies revealed a large segment  of children who had become physically inactive from watching television,  i.e., these children are seldom found outside playing, but are often found in front of the television set. To say that television watching  is not addictive is simply not a statement that can be made with any credibility. It is addictive, it is psychologically debilitating, and physically harmful, and has also been shown to negatively affect the family relationships . [11]

Moreover, studies have linked sexually suggestive  programs with sexual behavior by children, as well as an increased sexual  awareness that has lead to teen pregnancies. [12] Bok Sessela’s excellent book, “Mayhem,” revealed an enormous amount of data in studies that clearly shows there  is a definite link to the images being poured into the minds of our  children on a regular basis, and that this is directly affecting our  society in negative fashion. She showed how the research reveals that  a rather dramatic desensitization has been taking place in our society.

We are bombarded hourly with reality tv, showing crime scenes, murders,  catastrophes, and a myriad of other actual events that, over time, tend  to give what Sessela calls “compassion fatigue.” [13] After awhile, people who see so much violence, so much horror, and so much catastrophe, shut themselves off emotionally. One can only shed so many tears, can only be horrified so long, and eventually, a numbness comes to that person. The barriers come up and the emotions are “dumbed down.”

If 30 Seconds Can Impact a Mind, What About an Hour of Violence?

If a 30 second commercial can impact millions of minds,  there is surely an incalculable measure of damage done, and being done,  to tens of thousands of children and adults on a daily basis. Some of  those children can’t handle it, can’t deal with the overload and the emotional impact of those images,  and we suddenly experience a Columbine, or another senseless, brutal  act somewhere by an adult (who once was a child whose mind was being  fed this garbage), and we gasp, “Why? How can we stop this?”

I contend that it is this assault upon our emotions  and minds which has brought us remorseless killers—men and women  who do despicable acts that horrify us, that make us wonder how any  human could do such a thing. But, when one considers the torrent of  media material—television drama, videos, games, movies, and even  the news—that sweeps into the minds of millions like a tsunami  invading an occupied village, it is no wonder that some minds cannot  handle it.

Overload of the senses brings a numbing to the psyche. Add  to that, life’s ordinary traumas, like sickness, poverty, peer  pressure, and merely growing up, and you have the conditions ripe for  the “Perfect Killer” who will, in a storm of violence, one  day pay back to society what it gave him or her: pain, murder, mayhem,  and violence.

Why Can’t We Stop?

How interesting it is to me, our reaction to 9-11 and  our reaction to millions of murders that happen on an annual basis in  our nation. I’m rather stunned that we can accept violent acts  of crime, including sexual assaults, of over a half a million—852,967—of  our children, aged 15 to 19 years of age, in a single year’s period  of time. We are willing to accept those losses. There are few headlines,  except where there is a Columbine-type incident, of the horrendous numbers  of our children being victimized. Ah, but let some terrorists kill only  a small fraction of that number (approximately .003%—less than  1/10th of 1%), and it traumatizes a nation and sent it into a political  storm of legislation.

I suggest that we adults, as a nation, have become  so addicted and accustomed to absorbing the graphic violence, the graphic  pornographic and sexual material, and the daily diet of “hard  news” that we cannot turn it off. We are addicted, but we refuse  to acknowledge it. We can’t pull Johnnie and Julie away from the tv  set because we’re so addicted to it ourselves, we can’t justify denying  them their pleasure.

And, of course, there’s the “ignorance factor,”  which accounts for the rest of the reasons why we can’t stop. Some are  willingly ignorant, refusing to entertain for a second that they might  be an enabler to The Monster Factory by pre-approving the lessons, paying for them, providing the equipment and housing for the school, and even supplying the student.

I suggest there are deeper reasons, as well, for our  inability to stop the Kruegeristic-Wahhabism floods of gore and filth  that come pouring into our minds and the minds of our children. Can  it be that the moguls who brought us such “entertainment”  and who have reaped the measureless profits from it all, are themselves  so addicted to their wealth, their craft, their position of power and  influence, and their own fare, that they are as unable to pull themselves  away from the poisonous teat, even as we are? It would seem to be so.

Or, do you know of a Hollywood producer who has suddenly said, “Enough!  I will no longer produce trash that merely feeds the appetite for violence  and sex. I will seek to feed the soul, the intellect, and the spirit.  Know any of those? It would be refreshing to see them step forward and make such a declaration.

They could still have enormous profits, if they would  pull away. Mel Gibson proved that. He showed that one could produce  a movie that, while violent, was not done gratuitously, was far more  than entertainment, was edifying, and reached out on a spiritual plane  to the audience, rather than seeking to press all of the “pleasure buttons” of an audience, or trying to thrill the viewers with  cheap violence, or seeking to please them with graphic sexual content.

Gibson’s film, The Passion, made many millions, and is still making  money today.

Unless our nation begins to pay attention to the producers  of the hideous games and movies, and acts aggressively, as a society and as a government,   to restrict the freedom to destroy minds—some have erroneously  called it “freedom of speech—we will, as a society, continue  to have our nightmares visit us, but not on Elm Street. They will reach  into our homes—our neighborhoods, our street.

Eventually, you  will be hit. Statistically, the odds are increasing that you’re  going to be a victim of a violent crime. It is not just going to  be somebody’s children—it’s going to be your children.  And you.

Producers of mind-warping materials that are causing men to rape  our daughters and wives, and molest and murder our children. We must  act to protect our society against those who are causing our children  to turn into mental and emotional zombies, unable to clearly reason,  and able only to follow desires created by the psychological imprinting  done by those who are driven by dreams of staggering wealth who are  willing to leave us with nightmares of hideous death. They laugh all  the way to the bank as they take some of our children and turn them  into Freddie Kruegers and turn our lives into nightmares. What fools  we are to permit it.

Terrorists killed around 3000 of our citizens in a single  year, in one act of violence. We passed legislation and made fundamental changes to our entire governmental systems, from the federal to the state and city level of government. We had sweeping debates, and our vigilance was heightened to unprecedented levels. We even had colored lights to warn us at what stage of alert we should be.

But, when over half a million of our children are attacked, beaten, raped and murdered,  no orange lights flash, no news bulletins come across the bottom of the television  screen. Nothing. Just silence. No congressmen are gathered on the Front  Lawn for a news conference to tell us how urgent it is we get out of  our neighborhood before Freddie arrives. No congressional calls are made for sweeping legislation to stop those responsible for the unleashing  of mass destruction of lives. (You do realize that nearly 17,000 murders  is “mass destruction,” don’t you?) I don’t see  any alerts come on the television. No condition red. Not orange. Nothing.  Just business as usual.

We send troops over to Iraq to fight some real-life  Freddies, monsters, murderous goons and thugs who want to mass-murder  us and even their own innocents who are mere bystanders, and after fewer deaths than caused by the 9-11 attacks, our nation went into an apoplectic,  political frenzy.

However, over 17,000 of us can be murdered and over  6 million of us are attacked, and there’s a deafening silence,  even from the pontificators who sit as Lords on the High Court of Public Opinion, declaring to us what “the news” really is and really  means.  Their silence is deafening.

Where is Jesse?

No marches by Jesse Jame…uh, Jackson.  No  sharp tons of babbling flesh telling us we have to stop these violent attacks on black teens, who suffer from the same predatory attacks as others do, and whose leaders and parents are as ignorant and silent on the real reasons as the rest of the nation. No frenzied editorials from editors in New York  who apparently don’t have the time to care about mass destruction  of humanity. No talking political heads making the rounds. No congressional  mandates. No calls for the heads of Hollywood, nor Justice Department  indictments of the Death Gaming Industry, and no cabal of lawyers demanding  justice.  Just silence.

There’s even silence from the ACLU, those pretenders of the protection of our “freedoms,” but who haven’t the  common sense to comprehend that there is no exercise of freedom in death.  There are no liberties to defend, nor freedoms to exercise, nor appeals  to write in the grave.

Freddie’s coming to your neighborhood. Like it  or not, he’s coming. You’ll wish then that those who numbed the mind  of your child, or whoever is the sudden, in-your-house-nightmare, had  been put out of business and not been allowed to destroy the mind that  destroyed your life.

How I wish I were wrong.
