It does not need to stated that paedophilia is a revolting crime. This is something every ordinary person understands. But for Adams paedophilia becomes a political club with which to beat capitalism and Christianity. Without a doubt, it takes a rancid socialist like Adams to accuse companies who produce goods and advertising that target the youth market of "corporate paedophilia" (Paedophilia Inc, Australian, 21 June 2003). As we can no see, this is not the first time that Adams has made such loathsome accusations. He did the same thing in a speech he gave at Curtain University in October 1996. Leftists just cannot help themselves. They feel the need to politicise every issue they come in contact with, and Adams is no exception.

According to the deep thinking and ever-so caring Mr Adams kids are not only "seduced" by corporations they are also "manipulated" etc. Therefore he believes that creating brand-names and attractive products puts corporations like Nike and Reebok on the same level as "paedophiles". This leads him to the ridiculous view that

corporate paedophiles have kidnapped an entire generation of kids, holding them for ransom that many parents can't afford to pay.

What are these companies suppose to do? Make unattractive goods? Make inferior goods? Abolish their trade marks? Stop advertising their goods? The more one thinks of what Adams says on this matter the more ridiculous it sounds. Not that he is totally unaware of it. He knows that a good way to attack companies is to accuse them of child abuse. He also knows it diminishes the suffering that children of real abuse undergo and makes a mockery of their plight. But hey! Somebody's got to break the eggs. Right, Phil? One should also note that this political bigot chooses to ignore the greens' targeting of children.

Mind you, he did score a king hit when he rightly accused Kalvin Klein of sexualising children. Unfortunately our self-righteous Mr Adams couldn't bring himself to mention the embarrassing fact that Klein is what the Americans call a liberal and what we call a lefty. He also ignored the role those dreaded right-wingers and religious bigots played in embarrassing Klein into withdrawing his sleazy ads. In fact, he completely ignored the role that American leftists have played in making what he calls the sexual exploitation of children possible.

The truth be told, it was the permissive atmosphere created and maintained by Adams leftwing soul-mates that made sleazy advertising aimed at children possible. However, he is not so much concerned with the welfare of children as with bashing corporations. However, not once has this pompous hypocrite condemned any socialist states for mutilating the lives of their children and poisoning their minds with vicious propaganda, even sometimes torturing and murdering them.

While North Vietnamese communists carried out the systematic murder of infants as part of their program of mass terror against the South, the Saintly Phil gave them unstinting support. Even now, as children are being starved to death in Kim Jong Il's socialist paradise, Phil reminds silent. His concern for the welfare of children is so deep that when on 13 July 1994 that lovable progressive Castro ordered the massacre of a group of children aged 18 months to 11 years Phil uttered not a word of protest.

Then we had Saddam systematically torturing and murdering children and then dumping their bodies in a mass graves. So whom did Phil the Righteous attack? Why President George Bush of course. And let us not forget Castro's torture and jailing of children*. Like every true lefty, the humanitarian Phil knows exactly who and what to target.

None of Adams' sickening behaviour is surprising given his refusal to apologise for supporting the most murderous regimes in history. No wonder this intellectual buffoon who thinks he should not have to apologise for supporting the Soviet empire, the bloody communist conquest of a good slice of South East Asia, not to mention Mao Tse Tung's homicidal reign, has the gall to moralise to others. Is it any wonder that this self-righteousness callous liar, oily hypocrite and brazen plagiarist fills decent people with revulsion. So next time you read the moralising Adams, keep a plastic bucket nearby — you are sure to need it.

*Armando Valladares spent 20 years as a political prisoner in Castro’s Gulag. On his release he left for America where he wrote a detailed account of his experiences and the barbarism of Castro’s prison system. This included a description of the suffering of children who had also been sentenced to the Gulag, and the sexual abuse of women by Castro’s thugs. (Against All Hope: The Prison Memoirs of Armando Valladares, Hamish Hamilton, London, 1986). Despite the fact that Castro's crimes have been carefully documented the media still refuse to expose this sadistic thug.
