HOAX VIDEO EXPOSED: Planned Parenthood Already Reported "Sex Trafficking" To FBI

[XanaDUer]

SNIP - Today, anti-abortion rights propagandist Lila Rose released her latest in a series of heavily edited videos seeking to demonstrate that Planned Parenthood engages in criminal activities. Rose's organization, Live Action, claims their video exposes what they call "Planned Parenthood's cover-up of child sex trafficking."

Except that isn't what the video shows at all.

Rather, the Live Action video shows edited comments made by a single Planned Parenthood employee. Live Action has so far refused to publicly release the full video of the incident, instead posting what the organization itself admits is an "abridged 11-minute video." (Live Action claims they are "sending full footage" to law enforcement officials.)

AND

Who Is Lila Rose?

Conservative activist and Breitbart promoted videographer Lila Rose has presented heavily edited video she claims proves Planned Parenthood is engaging in systemic criminal activities. Media Matters reviews her history with discredited right-wing activist James O'Keefe and her fringe political activism.

1. Uch. Enough damage already done.

Lila Rose has such a nice name for a lying sack of crap.

2. They're sending the "full footage" to law enforcement officials?

What is law enforcement going to do with it? No crime was committed since the people involved obviously weren't sex traffickers, right? :shrug: Unless Ms. Rose and her associates know something about the individuals whom went around to multiple planned parenthood clinics that the rest of us haven't already figured out, right? :eyes:

5. Perception management. By creating the "appearance" that a crime...

...has (or may have) been committed, a "concerned" Congress can enact "special legislation". Just like with ACORN. Eventually the courts may strike it down. However, in the meantime, sufficient damage is done to destroy the organisation concerned, which until the matter is resolved, exists in a state essentially equal to one of involuntary liquidation.


And SOP for appointed administrators is to pay themselves for their own "services" first, then (in return for being permitted first bite) cover or renegotiate debts to the banks, various tax departments and investors. Only once THESE "secured debtors" have been paid off or otherwise placated, is any real consideration given to the possibility of maintaining a "troubled" business as a viable concern.

9. Right

I know what the stakes are after the travesty of what happened to ACORN and Shirley Sherrod. It seems the right wing has found an effective weapon against left-wing organizations. However, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe we need to find somebody willing to infiltrate a right-wing organization and do some "stinging" of our own. I mean, hey, Rose, O'Keefe, et. al aren't going to be spending in time for what they're doing, so why not get them too? :shrug:

*Disclaimer: I know why we don't do things like this- because we have a conscience (unlike them) and don't make it our mission in life to smear organizations with lies just because we don't believe in what they're doing. The right-wing activists have no such scruples however.

10. So don't. Smear with the truth instead.

Join the Klan; the Knights of Kolombus; the Minutemen. Scream the slogans. Turn on your friends. Document it all. Even the attrocity with which you prove your commitment to the cause. (And of course incriminates you in the event of subesequent episodes of pedal frigidity. (Try to select one against property rather than life.)

All's fair, etc. after all.

Robert Heinlein wrote of an organisation called "The Moriarty Society" in one of his final books "To Sail Beyond the Sunset". Individuals with terminal illnesses are recruited to assasinate or otherwise "destroy" corrupt public figures who are beyond sanction by legal means.

Why the hell not? We can't do any worse at exploring the merits of moral bankruptcy. And with terminal operatives, it is at least somewhat self limiting.

3. If we prosecuted people for this kind of shit, it wouldn't keep happening.

[XanaDUer]

4. I wonder about that, too

isn't this against the law or something?

[Canuckistanian]

6. NOBODY should watch a Breitbart "abridged video"

Just ask Shirley Sherrod.

7. thank you for posting this. K&R

8. Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood fired the employee in the video

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A Planned Parenthood clinic manager has been fired for behavior captured on an undercover video made by an anti-abortion group, a Planned Parenthood spokesman said on Wednesday.


The video recorded at a central New Jersey clinic was made by Live Action, which says it shows Planned Parenthood trying to cover up sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

The footage, recorded January 13, shows the manager discussing abortion, sexually transmitted disease testing and contraception with people posing as a pimp and prostitute and coaching them to lie about their age and other information, according to Live Action.

The clinic manager was fired late on Tuesday, said Planned Parenthood spokesman Stuart Schear.

"The behavior we saw in the videotape was egregious and repugnant," he said, adding it was "completely inexplicable and inconsistent with what Planned Parenthood does."

Planned Parenthood said it notified authorities in New Jersey after the January 13 visit and contacted national authorities after similar unusual visits occurred in at least 12 centers in six states within one week.
