On Getting Things Wrong, Really Wrong By Charles Taylor

     This story is from Natural news.com, and is about how a celebrity, no doubt well meaning and in good faith, promoted a self-help guru, who later down the track turned out to be, not what he seemed on first glance.

“Back in 2010, talk show guru Oprah Winfrey dedicated an entire episode of her show to a self-professing “faith healer” with whom she claims she had a “blissful” encounter. But as we recently reported, this “faith healer” has since been exposed as a serial rapist who had actually been operating a massive child “sex slave farm” and “birth factory” behind his religious facade. At the time, Oprah was convinced that Joao Teixeira de Faria, more popularly known as “John of God,” was the real deal. She contends that she almost fainted upon first meeting him, as his presence was apparently too much for her to handle, causing her to feel “an overwhelming sense of peace.””

So far, so good. But then:

“Fast-forward to 2019 and hundreds of women have come forward with claims that John of God raped them. The “faith healer” is also being accused of recruiting young girls to his many “child slave farms,” where they were repeatedly impregnated as part of a “birth factory,” before eventually being killed off and discarded. One of these women, Zahira Lieneke Mous of Holland, reportedly told The New York Times that she first heard about John of God “from a friend and had seen Oprah Winfrey’s documentary.” A victim of previous sexual assault, Mous confided in John of God, believing him to a righteous and spiritual man – only to learn the hard way that he, too, is a sexual predator. “I really hope I can help other women out of this shadow, because we do not need to feel ashamed,” Mous told the hosts of TV Globo, a Brazilian media network. “He has to feel ashamed, and all the people who protect him so he can continue to do what he does.”

According to Brazilian prosecutors, more than 200 women have come forward to accuse John of God of sexual improprieties against them – including his own daughter, Dalva Teixeira, who says her father repeatedly abused and raped her between the ages of 10 and 14. He only stopped, she claims, after she became pregnant by one of his employees, which resulted in John of God beating her so badly that she miscarried. Another woman, Sabrina Bittencourt – who, since the writing of our last article and this one, was reported to have “committed suicide while on the run and “living under protection” in Lebanon – told officials that John of God had been running a sex slave operation in which newborn babies were being sold for upwards of $51,000 each to clients in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Bittencourt claimed that John of God offered poor girls between the ages of 14 and 18 the “opportunity” to go live on various mineral mines and farms he owned throughout the Brazilian states of Goias and Minas Gerais. After their arrival, these girls were turned into sex slaves, forced to get pregnant, and their babies sold off for cash “to the highest bidder.”

“In exchange for food, they were impregnated and their babies sold on the black market,” Bittencourt stated before her mysterious death. “Hundreds of girls were enslaved over years, living on farms in Goias, and served as wombs to get pregnant, for their babies to be sold. These girls were murdered after 10 years of giving birth. We have got a number of testimonies.”

     The moral of the story is that the liberal elites of the chattering class promote all sorts of ideas, some good, most bad. When the bad ones come, if we are lucky, there may be an apology, but for most of the Left, they simply go quiet for a little while, regroup, then repackage the same old stuff.

“Left-wing Hollywood wasted no time in politicizing and blaming President Donald Trump and his supporters for an alleged hate crime attack on Empire actor Jussie Smollett — an encounter that police now reportedly believe to have been staged. CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reported Saturday, “Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault. The sources tell CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.” Smollett had previously claimed that at 2am in downtown Chicago, he was attacked by two men, had a rope wrapped around his neck, and chemicals thrown on him and claimed he was called racial and homophobic slurs. He also said that the attackers yelled “This is MAGA country!” at him. Left-wing Hollywood, of course, used the alleged attack to cast blame on President Trump and the United States in general.”

     Of course, none of these talking heads admitted that they were wrong. Onto the next politically correct source of tantrum. This mania is presently being seen with the love affair with socialism at the moment, which is popular with generation Z. That generation, by the way, is about 49 percent non-white, and loves multiculturalism and mass immigration:
