From The Last English Prince:
The hypocrisy is compelling. The decades of complicity speaks of cultural corruption. Twenty-seven women.
The number is undoubtedly more in the range of the victims of the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting. Everybody knew.
And nobody did anything about it.
The pig – as he was known – undoubtedly chose the pig mask for the drug-fueled orgies during the Cannes Film Festival.
Who wore the goat mask? And who lusted to be the next pig?
Harvey Weinstein liked one thing and only one thing: Sexual humiliation of women. We are all adults here. But who can forget this?
The above – is what Hollywood peddles. And if “Swordfish” is training wheels for the rest of us, Weinstein kicked the wheels off decades ago.
Rose McGowan managed a paltry settlement. Yet everyone knew.
Nobody took the man down.
The men…. were complicit.
Of course now that the not-so-secret Hollywood open secret can be digested in disgusting manner by the rest of us – those involved and complicit decry
“The Pig”.
Which brings me back to _Animal Farm_. “
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
The Pig knew about that of which he spake.

boycott hollywood --what do you think!!!
The Academy's statement. Reads good, but it reads like damage control. Yeah, it was "us" but this is "over" so go back to sleep.
“The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors met today to discuss the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, and has voted well in excess of the required two-thirds majority to immediately expel him from the Academy. We do so not simply to separate ourselves from someone who does not merit the respect of his colleagues but also to send a message that the era of willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our industry is over. What’s at issue here is a deeply troubling problem that has no place in our society. The Board continues to work to establish ethical standards of conduct that all Academy members will be expected to exemplify.”
