"Progressive" defense of a statutory rapist illustrates the problem with group-think

Two statutory rapes by a NoDAPL pipeline activist committed against two girls ages 13-15 was the topic of a post I made on Facebook about a year and a half ago. The man, (or perhaps better labeled *insect*), who did this was a year shy of his thirties at the time of the assaults which took place in the early 2000s. It was all proven in a court of law, and he did
six years in jail for his crimes
. This maggot of a human even used in his defense that, "
one of the girls had given him herpes,
" to try to get his pathetic ass a reduced sentence. The judge wasn't buying it.
Though the assaults took place in the past, I felt they were important to bring to the attention of the public, and the protest community, not just for the victims, but because this sub-human tick was getting speaking gigs talking about his "humanitarianism"-- garnering him the backing of Ed Begley Jr, Jane Fonda,
David Avocado Wolfe
, and even indie media, (who I have had words with about this situation). He even
opened up for Moby
at the One Love Fest and received the backing of a billionaire who
bought him an RV.
When not gathering celebrity endorsements, he would compare himself to Martin Luther King-- a more nonsensical notion I have never heard, especially from a guy who voted for Donald Trump because "Donald wouldn't take his guns"-- (which he wasn't allowed to have because of his six years in the pokey), and in his estimation, Donald was going to, "do right and kick those pipelines in the ass." But, hey-- just ignore the record-- nothing to see here.
As a result of my statements, this worm took a page from Donny's playbook and whipped the activists into a manic frenzy. Hundreds upon hundreds of so-called "progressives" sent me nasty messages calling me "scum," and published videos of a similar negative sentiment which were viewed tens of thousands of times. My videos on YouTube were flooded with hate from lefties. Pictures of me with Jeb Bush were used as "proof" that I was an infiltrator-- though I have been photographed with *all* of the major candidates from the 2016 election, (while filming
my documentary
), and have been clear from the start that vast majority of politicians are space maggots of the highest power, and any of them in favor of fracking or the dangerous practices of pipeline companies were simply angering Poseidon's butt-hole, by dumping all this crap in the water. Donald Trump is a dumpster fire-- and you would be hard-pressed to find someone who went to more effort to bring that to the attention of the public before his crowning. (See also, my
pipeline documentary
.)
What I went through was nothing compared to what I imagine the two victims went through-- but it was sad to see the behavior of so-called "progressives" trying to destroy someone against a guy having sex with children. Had they abandoned logic and reason and everything they stood for? Worse than "not caring," they only seemed to put value in
protecting their narrative
, which is what happens when you disregard facts and nuance of facts in favor of "what's right for the team." At the time, Elders from Standing Rock strongly urged me to silence this discussion because it was, "a distraction from people who were psychically in harms-way at Standing Rock in that moment." For that reason, I agreed to stay quiet *for the time being*-- because I wasn't ever going to stay silent for good. Time has passed, and there is no longer anyone in harm's way.
With the Kavanuagh debate becoming very public, this seems like an appropriate time to mention this sub-person again. You can split hairs whether or not the maggot in question scientifically qualifies as an invertebrate or not, but if you've got a pipeline protest camp, you would be well advised to to your research before partnering with this bottom feeder.
His name is George Bolenbaugh, but switched to his middle name John
when he became an “activist.” He's got a website called "Rod Webber lies dot com," and all manner of rant and baseless accusations about me. Read the
court papers
, then go from there.
Many have chimed in on my
Facebook
to ask if the activists were aware of Bolenbaugh’s past when they messaged to harass me. Sadly, more often than not, the answer is yes.
M
ost of the people who wrote to dump on me ultimately said things to the effect of, "yes we know what John did-- but we don't care-- and you're scum for trying to take him down-- the Earth is more important than his past." It was a common sentiment, to which I would reply to the effect of, “Of course the Earth is our most important resource, which is exactly why it is a detriment to our efforts to allow this person to be a spokesperson for this movement, or any other— lest we forget that his very presence could be a danger to other activists.”
I’m sure I will get plenty of crap for having written this— but I do so for two reasons: First, so the child-fiending spider isn’t able to snag up any more activist flies, and secondly to remind people how detrimental it can be to simply click on a headline and condemn without having a shed of evidence or basic knowledge about whatever it is that made you break out the pitchforks and torches. The cliche I always heard from my parents was, “if everyone else is jumping off a cliff, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.” I can’t believe this basic warning against group-think needs to be reiterated— but here we are.
I don’t know what scandal tomorrow will bring, but think before you click. It might be the only thing that saves your cause.
