Some time ago when the new Pope was elected we published the article The Gods Must Be Crazy where we forecasted two things:
- The Pope will attempt to push through many reforms
- The Pope will face a steep opposition from the conservative, bureaucratic forces within the church.
On both counts we were correct. So much so that it has now became routine to listen to the Pope complaining and moaning about…

Today we celebrate a new year. A year where we shall see our security enhanced by electronic means in such a manner that no electronic communication shall escape the scrutiny of our overlords… err… no… that's not it. A year where we shall continue to endeavour to lose whatever privacy we still have left on the grounds that such information may be used against us… ugh… no… that won't work…

Over the last few years (a decade plus by now?) we have heard time and time again how globalization is actually bad for everybody's lives. We have had to endure time and time again protests, outrages, fights, righteousness and all manner of bad karma just because politicians are pushing the "global agenda" or the "corporatocracy".

A few days back the Cour de Justice de la République (a judicial court in France) found Christine Lagarde, the IMF Chief, guilty of "negligence by a person in a position of public authority" in regards to 400 million EUR that Christine authorized as a payment to settle a dispute with the bank Crédit Lyonnais. But that's OK because the court did not impose neither a fine nor a sentence.…

As of lately we seem to be witnessing a rush of de-monetization moves and a set of compulsory or semi-compulsory measures to switch to fully-electronic systems of payments.
Allow us to recap some examples.
Some time ago we reported what was happening in Uruguay (Uruguay - When Cash Becomes Illegal).
M-Pesa (a mobile phone-based money transfer system) took for storm Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan, South Africa, India, some Eastern European countries…

GOVERNMENT ACTION
All the previously deduced, interpolated, collected and processed information was simply a lead to reach this point. All the previous data was necessary for one purpose only: to identify the root cause of the problem and to compare that analysis against the measures that governments took and are taking.
The key elements of previous sections have now become obvious; harm to children comes almost exclusively from Sexual Child…

SEXUAL CHILD ABUSE - DEFINITION
Now that we have a much clear picture of the topic of Child Pornography, we can move on to the second topic; the topic of the Sexual Child Abuse. As in the previous one, our first task will be to obtain a definition.
In this area, however, sensible definitions are quite easy to come by because they are mostly driven by medical scientific findings and…

A MATTER OF BIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY
In the previous sections we have made a number of interpolations from mainstream pornography and into Child Pornography. A question thus arises: How valid are those interpolations?
The answer? Very. Consider the following points.
Sexual maturity
Purely from a biological and psychological perspective, there is no difference between legal age sexual preferences and under age sexual preferences or tendencies.
