Excerpt from SUNDAY WIRE: Episode #296 - Political Idol, Pedophrasty, and Nihilism

In this excerpt from the 9/22/19 SUNDAY WIRE broadcast, host Patrick Henningsen explores some of the ways youth and youth movements are exploited by powerful organizations to promote political agendas and achieve political objectives. Mr. Henningsen refers to an Incerto article titled 'Pedophrasty, Bigoteering, and Other Modern Scams,' by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in which he writes:

Pedophrasty
Definition: Argument involving children to prop up a rationalization and make the opponent look like an asshole, as people are defenseless and suspend all skepticism in front of suffering children: nobody has the heart to question the authenticity or source of the reporting. Often done with the aid of pictures. Can also describe the exploitation of babies by professional beggars who rent them from their parents and use them as potent appendage in their trade(remember that children tend to grow and need to be replaced). Pedophrasts prey on our maternal (and paternal) instincts. Pedophrasty has its most effects on actors, journalists and similar types who are intellectually insecure, deprived of critical judgment, and afraid of being classified as violators of some norm of political correctness. For instance, pedophrasty has been commonly used in the Syrian war by such propagandists as Julian Roepke continuously supplying the German public with pictures of dead children. Or the various lobbies hired by Saudi Barbaria (and allies), such as the Middle East Institute in Washington DC, to promote Sunni Islamist policies under the cover of “think tanks”.

From the Sunday Wire's podcast summary:

We’ll also cover the Establishment’s new virtual reality show, Political Idol, where youth personalities are selected as ‘performance activists’, and used to sell an politicized agenda; whether it’s the mercurial Greta Thunberg and her ‘climate breakdown‘ campaign, or the US State Department’s latest regime change mascot from Hong Kong for who Congress rolled out the red carpet for this week – there’s no end to this new conveyor belt of astroturf political celebrities.
