Here is a topic that the guys out there know about but don’t want to talk about: Russian porno. This is the nastiest stuff on the Internet, hands down, no questions asked. What you have on those sites is a bunch of under age children who are playing the parts of drunks while having sex usually with someone around three times their age. In a word, it is appalling.

Vladimir Putin can rant all day long about how he is angry at the United States, but let’s be honest about one thing. His country is the chief purveyor of some of the most vile crap available to the public. If he should be angry at anyone, then he should be angry at his own country. The way Russian porno is displayed is usually in a very slickly done manner having its share of very dangerous pitfalls. Number one, it is illegal to possess pornography in the United States of under age children, and it is a felony to do so. Secondly, it is almost unpreventable for people who occasionally enjoy erotic videos. You can click on something that looks rather innocent and is your basic vanilla looking sex scene. But it takes you to a site, which is very distinctively Russian looking. The types of costumes they employ coupled with the fact that nobody ever says a word on them is evidence of this. However, I suppose it would be a dead giveaway as to its Russian source. But the most distinctive characteristic by far is the fact that most of the people featured look very young.

It is frightening to see this kind of stuff, and it almost turns your stomach against all Internet pornography no matter what it is. The more one assesses the risks of going to such sites the more it becomes apparent that the whole venture is simply not even worth it. There are many reasons why people enjoy pornography, and for many it would seem that it expresses some kind of inner desire that for those who like to watch it is very hard to express in words. For some it is a human art form like ballet or dancing is to others. But the prevalence of under age pornography on the Internet is nothing short of exploitative. It exploits the ones who perform the sex acts, and it also exploits the ones who watch it. The entirety of it is completely unattainable and unreasonable on so many levels that it is nearly impossible to believe that this could possibly be a true fantasy.

What provokes the Russians to pawn this stuff on the world? Are they that desperate for power in the world that they have to portray their children as drunken sluts? One must seriously wonder about the Russians nowadays not so much because of their incursion into Georgia or their sale of nuclear technology to Iran, but for the fact that their motive behind their moves lately appears to be complete and utter irresponsibility. The Russians are not making any sense any more, and they have hit the bottom of the barrel. Maybe it’s because they live in a very cold land, or maybe their history is so pock marked with failed power struggles, or perhaps their literature is so dark and brooding, or it could be that they need to stop hitting the vodka so much. Whatever the case may be, the Russians always seem to show themselves to be more decadent, more despicable, and more self-loathing than perhaps any other people on this entire planet.

How Iran can bring themselves to be dealing so closely with the Russians, while all along knowing what thugs they are is completely baffling. Doesn’t Iran hang anybody who is either homosexual, cheats on their husband, or possesses alcohol and drugs? People can complain that we are doing with Pakistan and China is bad, but one thing you will never find in those two countries is the level of despicable behavior exhibited by the Russians. Do the Russians need attention that badly that they feel they must do this kind of stuff? Are they trying to bring everyone down to their level so that somehow that will make them feel better about themselves? Do they care what people think about them who stumble on this stuff? Doesn’t anybody in that country have a conscience at all?

The news about people in America being arrested for possessing child pornography is interesting, because what happened to the enforcement aspect of this activity against the owners of the web sites who put this stuff out there? Do they get a free pass? After all, the producers of this stuff are the ones who need to be held accountable. Surely the ones who view it should feel badly about having done so, and the ones who actually go to the trouble of possessing it should definitely be questioned about their motives for having done so. But the questions one never hears are, why does this stuff even exist on the Internet in the first place, who is behind it all, and why is it even being allowed to exist in the first place? Maybe nobody wants to touch this hot potato issue, because in doing so it will lead you right back to the halls of the Kremlin and probably right to the desk of Putin himself.

Everybody who has seen this stuff knows that Russians are doing it, yet one has to wonder why. Is it simply that if laws exist there against such behavior they are just not being enforced? Or does the Russian government not even care at all about this issue at all? One has to ask why in each circumstance, because some of the greatest foreign policy dilemmas that are looming on the horizon now are curiously connected to the Russians once again. If it isn’t Iran and Georgia, then it is the deployment of a defensive missile systems in Poland-, defensive because it is there to defend Poland against Russia. The handwriting is on the wall that Russia is up to something, and it ought to be fully investigated what role their illicit porno industry plays in their greater plans for the world in which we live.

The network news has a responsibility to exercise with respect to putting pressure on politicians to answer the hard questions. Curiously the mainstream media is silent on this issue. It should make anyone who gets their news from them very concerned. They are allowing Americas children to become stigmatized by an Internet child pornography phenomenon that seems to go largely unquestioned. The question Americans should be asking themselves is whether they want to be known as the ones who did nothing about this. Maybe if the riddle were solved as to who is behind this then many other problems that face our country can simultaneously be solved.
