(WND)—Scrolling through Twitter on Tuesday, I came across a sober video message from celebrity gadabout Paris Hilton. Dressed down in a modest track suit, Ms. Hilton sounded all the word like what the media might call a “QAnon fanatic.”
“And I really hope this is a lesson to people out there that if you’re abusing children, I will find out, I will find you. I will come with my huge spotlight and shine it on wherever you are.”
“This has been happening for decades, and people are just getting away with it. Not anymore,” said Hilton, who claims to have spoken to “thousands of survivors.”
A celebrity while still a teen, Hilton was apparently a “survivor” herself. As revealed in the explosive new five-part 2024 Max series, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” Hollywood has long been a hotbed of child sex abuse.
The show focuses on Nickelodeon and its disgraced producer Dan Schneider. Not surprisingly, Schneider was a friend of the Obamas.
In 2012, an election year, Schneider produced a show on the long-running series “iCarly” that featured Michelle Obama and her “Joining Forces” initiative. Network president Cyma Zarghami was paraphrased as saying that the episode was “in no way a political statement.” Of course not.
Those were the circles in which high-profile Democrats ran. Malia Obama interned with Harvey Weinstein. Bill Clinton logged frequent-flyer miles on Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express.”
Hillary Clinton intimate Huma Abedin married pervert Anthony Weiner. A few years earlier, Hollywood gave child rapist Roman Polanski a standing O and an Oscar.
In 2020, Barack Obama did a one-on-one interview with the granddaughter of Democrat mega donor Edgar Bronfman, Hannah Bronfman, a reputed “influencer.” A month prior, Hannah’s aunt Clare was sentenced to 81 months in prison for her role in a sex trafficking ring that did not check the IDs of its young female victims.
During the years this was going on, the media savaged anyone associated in any way with the mysterious QAnon given its strong association with a conspiracy known as “Pizzagate.” This reputed high-level ring of pedophiles involves, most prominently, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chair.
The Left, of course, ridicules Pizzagate, and the respectable conservative media dare not even mention it, but before readers dismiss it, they might watch the movie “Out of Shadows.”
Among the people featured in the film is Liz Crokin, a veteran reporter and columnist who sacrificed any career ambitions she might have had to report on child sex trafficking.
Said Crokin, “I was basically embraced by the mainstream media until I started reporting on Pizzagate.” Her deconstruction of the coded language in the Podesta emails obtained by Wikileaks could make Hillary sweat.
“I’d be willing to debate anyone who thinks Pizzagate has been debunked,” said Crokin. She is dismayed that “there has not been one single investigation into any of it.”

The media’s eagerness to tar anyone who addressed the pedophilia issue with the “QAnon” brush says more about the media than about the person tarred.
If one googles “Liz Crokin,” for instance, the first item that appears after her Wikipedia page is a CNN article from 2022 headlined, “Trump Poses with QAnon, Pizzagate Conspiracy Theorist at Mar-a-Lago.”
In the summer of 2023, the tide started turning. “Sound of Freedom,” a film about real-life Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent Tim Ballard’s efforts to stop child sex trafficking, proved to be a box office hit.
The film’s success surprised the media. Critics were anticipating a dud. Disney, after all, had sat on the finished product for five years before selling the rights back to the producers.
The film’s marketability was not the issue for Disney. The film’s message was. Disney’s history with the sexual abuse of minors was as bad as Nickelodeon’s.
Explained Time magazine, the film became “mired in controversy over criticisms that it features misleading depictions of child exploitation and plays into right-wing conspiracy theories associated with the QAnon movement.”
The fact that the film was made before anyone even heard of QAnon only made the Left more anxious. Those “theories” suddenly seemed less fanciful.
So why has the Left started noticing? Paris Hilton seems to have no ulterior motive, but savvy Democrats do. They do not want Donald Trump to be reelected.
While many on the Left ridiculed those concerned with child sex trafficking, Trump screened “Sound of Freedom” at his New Jersey golf course. He has made sex trafficking his issue.
In a blistering takedown of his Democrat allies last week, liberal provocateur Bill Maher addressed “Quiet on Set” and explored the reason why progressives tolerated allies like Schneider whose run at Nickelodeon lasted 25 years.
“We’re so tribal now,” said Maher, “The Left will overlook [child abuse] if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.” To prove his liberal credentials, I should add, Maher used a phrase more vulgar, much more, than “child abuse.”
A party that’s OK with “killing babies” – a phrase Maher has actually used to describe abortion – does not have soul enough to care about the sex trafficking of children. The party is, however, strategic enough to care until November.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
