A sex party in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district is maintaining its XXX-rated character – with full nudity and public sex acts – despite promises from police that they would not allow participants to violate the various indecent exposure laws that are on the books.
A report from Americans for Truth About Homosexuality documented this year’s results at the city’s Up Your Alley street fair just days ago.
The San Francisco homosexual newspaper Bay Area Reporter had documented about three months ago San Francisco police promises to restrict public sex acts. They warned organizers if they do not control participants, the future of the festivities would be in doubt.
According to the report the promise from police came after two people filed multiple complaints with the city’s Office of Citizen Complaints against more than a dozen officers assigned to the 2008 event.
The complaints raised questions about the officers’ refusal to cite those who violated city laws by appearing nude and participating in public sex acts.
One website called Zombietime previously published a series of disturbing, explicit photographs of the events on San Francisco’s streets.
Americans for Truth, run by Peter LaBarbera, also has documented the situations previously.

So this year, LaBarbera, accompanied by a volunteer, visited the “Up Your Alley” event.
“Men walked around in full frontal nudity and even engaged in oral sex acts on the streets of San Francisco at a sadomasochistic street fair here Sunday – belying reports that police and city authorities would crack down on public nudity and lewdness,” he reported.
A volunteer, “Ron,” with the St. Joseph’s Men Society, took pictures of the event, he said.
“Ron’s photos show that despite the reports that anti-nudity and -lewdness laws would be strictly enforced at this year’s Up Your Alley street fair, they were not,” LaBarbera’s report said.
According to the volunteer photographer, who has documented the last two Up Your Alley events, “Last year, police were patrolling the UYA street fair. I encountered several police that were walking past men masturbating and exposing themselves, many completely nude. I asked the police why they were not enforcing the law. One policeman stated they were there to protect the attendees, not to enforce the laws, and were passive for political reasons. Another said that as long as the fair attendees were inside the fair they could do whatever they wanted – yet at that time I could clearly see nudity from across the street.”
“This year, I did not see one policeman patrolling inside the fair. I did see several police talking amongst themselves at one entrance as though they were at a cocktail party. There was no attempt to patrol or enforce the laws against public nudity, sex and drug-use. One policeman told me that they were on ‘fixed posts.’ I did see one guy with a ‘Folsom Security’ vest wearing a skirt patrolling the area doing what the police were doing last year: nothing,” he said.
This happened even though posted signs said, “Lewd behavior is illegal and will be interrupted.”
America soon to crumble to ‘The Third Jihad’?
FROM WND
‘We all know about terrorism. This is the war you don’t know about’
The Third Jihad the movie
Can the United States of America as we know it crumble from within in just a few short years?
The stunning possibility is more than just a dream to some enemies of the greatest nation on Earth. It is a fast-becoming probability. “We all know about terrorism. This is the war you don’t know about,” declares “The Third Jihad,” an eye-opening movie now available on DVD.
The film’s trailer can be seen here: http://bit.ly/WqKr4
The movie, the newest offering from the producers of the captivating documentary film “Obsession,”explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk that this “homegrown jihad” poses to national security, western liberties and the American way of life.
“It’s an entire movement, and the idea of it is hatred for our way of life,” says former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.” Featured in the DVD are clips of Muslim leaders in the U.S., including Abdul Alim Musa, an imam in Washington D.C., who boldly states, “On our website we talk about the Islamic State of North America by 2050.”
The film examines a secret document uncovered by the FBI that reveals the plans of the radicals already in America.
“The Third Jihad,” narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, opens with the following statement: “This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims are radical. This film is about them.”
In 72 minutes, the film reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated rejection of Western values cultures and religion are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the Western world.
In contrast to the use of “violent jihad” and terror to instill fear in “non-believers,” “The Third Jihad” introduces the concept of “cultural jihad” as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within.
Islamic radicals use child porn to exchange info
Police say secret codes embedded in images
Police authorities in the United Kingdom say they have discovered terrorists are using online child pornography to exchange information about their plots to bring calamity to society.
According to a report today in the London Times online edition, the link became evident during a string of police raids across Britain and Europe in which authorities found images of child abuse and porn during anti-terrorism stings in Italy and Spain.
The former chairwoman of Parliament’s Joint Intelligence Committee, Baroness Neville-Jones, said, “The information about a possible link between extremism and child pornography potentially provides useful insight into three things: the methods that extremists use to communicate; the methods they use to target vulnerable people in society; and the techniques they seek to use to conceal their online activities.”
The newspaper reported security services in Britain are aware of the activity and are investigating.
One source told the Times eventually child welfare experts may need to be trained to identify signs of terrorist plots during their routine monitoring of pornographic sites.
The report said investigators haven’t yet determined which came first: the involvement by terrorists with child pornography or the utilization of child porn networks to transmit secret information securely.
One Times source noted the conflict between strict Islamic law that would ban any such images and the use by Islamists of that very medium.
“It shows that these people are very confused,” the source said. “Here they are hating Western decadence but actually making use of it and finding that they enjoy this stuff.”
Meet the god of debauchery

Sex-saturated Bacchanalia boiling up from underworld
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed (Luke 17:28-30).

Whether it is the recent sexpidemic of teachers seducing students, the growing pansexual hedonism of Burning Man-like festivals worldwide, the flood of overtly sexual content on television and the big screen, the casual intimate ‘hook-ups’ of modern college kids, or the deviant sex acts celebrated by people parading fully nude on public streets in broad daylight, something has been lost between the innocent days of the Great Generation’s public standards and the rapid erosion of contemporary decency.
Now, a researcher and author whose new book has skyrocketed up best-seller’s lists warns that the growing trend of hedonism may be supernaturally motivated.
In “Nephilim Stargates: The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers,” Thomas Horn ties moral abandonment to an ancient spirit, known in antiquity as the Greek god Dionysus (Roman Bacchus) who represented the personification of unrestrained sexuality.
“Followers of Dionysus imagined him as the presence that is otherwise defined within man as the craving that longs to ‘let itself go’ and to ‘give itself over’ to outlaw desires,” says Horn. “What puritans might resist as the lustful wants of the carnal man or the temptations of the Devil, the followers of Dionysus embraced as the incarnate power that would, in the afterlife, liberate man’s soul from the constraints of the present world and from customs which sought to define respectability through obedience to moral law.”
According to Horn, worshippers of Dionysus attempted to bring themselves into union with the god through ritual casting off of the bonds of sexual denial and primal constraint by seeking to attain a “higher state of ecstasy.”
The uninhibited rituals of ecstasy (Greek for “outside the body”) employed lascivious behavior, ecstatic communal dancing to the drums and flute, flicking of the head backward (as found in most trance inducing cults), and overt consumption of wine to bring the followers of Dionysus into a supernatural condition which enabled them to escape the temporary limitations of the body and mind and to achieve an orgiastic state of “enthousiasmos”, or “outside the body and inside the god.”
In this sense, Dionysus represented a dichotomy in the Greek religion, as the primary maxim of the Greek culture was one of moderation; “nothing too extreme.” Yet Dionysus embodied the absolute extreme in that he sought to inflame the forbidden passions of human desire.
“As students of psychology will understand,” Horn continues, “the willful abandonment of social restraints, which defined Dionysus-worship, actually gave the god of wine and revelry a stronger allure, not weaker, among many ancients who otherwise tried in so many ways to suppress and control the secret lusts of the human heart. Dionysus was a craving that demanded one partake of ‘the forbidden fruit’ and who threatened madness upon those who denied him free expression. Conversely, persons giving themselves over to the will of Dionysus were promised the lie of unlimited psychological and physical delights.”
In Nephilim Stargates, Horn records how the Dionystic idea of mental disease resulting from suppression of secret inner desires, especially aberrant sexual desires, was later reflected in the teachings of Sigmund Freud. Freudianism is therefore the grandchild of the cult of Dionysus, Horn concludes.
Such mythical systems of mental punishment and physical rewards based on resistance and/or submission to Dionysus were symbolically and literally illustrated in the cult rituals of the Bacchae, as the Bacchae women (married and unmarried Greek women had the legal right to participate in the mysteries of Dionysus) migrated in frenzied hillside groups, dressed transvestite in fawn skins and accompanied by screaming, music, dancing, and omnisexual behavior.
When for instance a baby animal was too young and lacking in instinct to sense the danger and run away from the revelers, it was picked up and suckled by bare-breasted women who participated in the hillside rituals. Yet when older animals sought to escape the marauding Bacchae, they were considered “resistant” to the will of Dionysus and were torn apart and eaten alive as a part of the fevered ritual.
Horn points to parallels of this condition in today’s United States. “What at one time would have been unthinkable – deviant sex acts conducted openly in major U.S. cities – is become acceptable, while ‘resisters’ of the new Dionysian cult are increasingly labeled enemies of free expression and threatened with hate-crime legislation.”
Before the ancient Greek/Roman festival was outlawed in 186 BC by a decree of the Senate – the so-called “Senatus consultum de Bacchanalibus”-as having become too debauched, human participants were increasingly subject to public orgiastic extremes, as the rule of the Bacchanalia became “anything goes,” including public sex acts, S&M type torture, bestiality, and even pedophilia.
According to Horn, the devil was literally in the details, and the tempter was seeking souls for destruction.
“The Hebrew people considered Hades – the Greek god of the underworld – to be equal with Hell and/or the Devil, and many ancients likewise saw no difference between Hades, in this sense the Devil, and Dionysus. Euripedes echoed this sentiment in the Hecuba, and referred to the followers of Dionysus as the ‘Bacchants of Hades.’ Heraclitus agreed, writing that, ‘Hades and Dionysus, for whom they go mad and rage, are one and the same.’”
Horn wonders if the ‘god’ Dionysus, a spirit historically identified with Satan, is rising from the underworld in modern Bacchanalian eroticism. “Is a psychological or supernatural force behind the growing flood of debauchery? Are we seeing evil supernaturalism in the birth pangs of a new occult Dionysianism?”
Arafat sniper now works for Jesus
FROM WND
Fatah terrorist used to throw grenades in Christian homes
By Joseph Farah
 |
WASHINGTON – When Taysir Saada served as a trained assassin for Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organization in the late 1960s, he admits he hated Christians.
If he found a home belonging to followers of Jesus, he would sometimes throw a grenade inside and shoot it up with bursts of machine-gun fire.
He has no idea how many people were killed and wounded in such attacks.
Today a non-uniformed Saada, now known as Tass, patrols the dangerous Hamas-dominated streets of the Gaza Strip – no longer hunting down Christians or bearing arms; the Palestinian-American has traded in his automatic weapons and grenades for the Bible, humanitarian service and apologies to Arab Christians he once persecuted.
His transition from Islamic terrorist to Christian missionary is recounted in a new book, “Once An Arafat Man: The True Story of How a PLO Sniper Found a New Life.”
Saada has returned to his roots, having been born in Gaza shortly after the 1948 war.
His family had left a comfortable and prosperous life in Jaffa before the war, heeding calls from Arab leaders to clear the area for the “liberation” forces of the Arab armies who were coming to destroy the new state of Israel. Tired of the refugee life in Gaza, his family uprooted themselves again and made a new home for themselves in Saudi Arabia.
The Saada family did well for itself in their new country, but the youngest child, who never knew his former homeland, grew up with a burning desire to return and fight for the Arab pride that had been stripped away by three successive defeats in 1948, 1956 and 1967.
Without his family’s knowledge or consent, Saada traveled to Syria to sign up to fight for his childhood hero, Arafat.
Quickly welcomed into a training camp in Jordan, Saada became a sniper and participated in the pitch battle of Karameh, outside of Jericho – a battle that made headlines around the world and served as a recruiting tool for Arafat and Fatah when Israeli forces found themselves in a daylong standoff with thousands of Palestinian guerrillas.
Saada’s role, which still causes him anguish, was to pick off Israeli soldiers with his sniper rifle.
Thirty-four years later, just six months before Arafat died, Saada had an opportunity to evangelize his former boss, telling him about the God of love, peace and forgiveness he had come to know, comparing man’s life-giving Creator with the deadly destruction wrought in his former life.
“Do you know how God created man?” he recalls asking Arafat.
“Yes,” he said. “From the dust.”
“That’s right,” replied Saada, Arafat’s former pupil in terrorism and his one-time chauffeur. “But do you know how?”
“How?” asked the father of modern terrorism.
“He got down and scooped up the earth and shaped it into the form of a man, says the Bible,” Saada explained. “Then he bowed down and breathed life into his nostrils. When I think about that, I ask myself how we could take the lives of so many men.”
Saada said Arafat welcomed his old student back toward the end of his life and gave him plenty of time to talk in his bombed-out Ramallah headquarters fully knowing of his conversion to Christianity. Shortly after this visit, an Egyptian pastor and friend of Saada also had an opportunity to visit with Arafat who said the terrorist leader “prayed the sinner’s prayer” with him, converting to Christianity.
“Do you think he understood what was going on?” Saada asked.
“Yes, absolutely,” replied the pastor. “He was very clear. And we were alone in the room, just the two of us.”
Months later, on Nov. 11, 2004, Arafat succumbed in a Paris hospital.
“When I saw that he had actually died, my heart broke,” says Saada. “I didn’t think about all that had gone astray under his leadership. I didn’t think about all the graft and misrepresentation in which he had indulged. I only thought about the man himself, now facing eternity. This was my teenage hero, the courageous leader who had dared to call the Palestinian people toward their destiny. He was the man I would willingly have died to protect. Now he was nothing but another human being standing before an awesome God, giving answers to penetrating questions. I don’t know what he said in that final court. I could only hope that in the recent months he had come to terms with the Lord of all the earth.”
“Once An Arafat Man: The True Story of How a PLO Sniper Found a New Life” takes you from the squalid Gaza refugee camp in 1951 to the Fatah guerrilla camp training to the feverish battles and through Saada’s journey to America where he was pleasantly surprised to find opportunity, prosperity, a wife, a family and a spiritual rebirth – a rebirth that brought him right back to where it all started.

Groundbreaking investigation reveals truth of Scripture you’ve never been told
Is it possible that virtually everything you think you know about the Bible is simply not biblical?
For instance, are you aware “Three Wise Men” appear nowhere in the story of Jesus’ birth, and none are ever mentioned visiting baby Jesus in a Bethlehem manger? It’s true, despite what you’ve seen on countless Christmas cards and in recent movies such as “The Nativity Story.”
And did you know Jesus did not come to make everyone understand His message?
Forget the “holy baloney” you’ve wrongly heard all your life. It’s time to put away the fables and get back to Bible facts.
It doesn’t matter if you love the Bible, go to church or believe in God. Get ready for the biggest surprises of your life. It’s time to get “Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You’ve Never Been Told.”

WND executive news editor Joe Kovacs has focused his journalism skills on the greatest book of all time – the Holy Bible – and has unearthed hundreds of stunning pieces of information.
This well-researched work, published in hardcover by Thomas Nelson, shatters scores of misconceptions while answering relevant questions regardless of anyone’s faith or personal outlook. And even before its official release, the book has skyrocketed to the No. 1 position in three categories on Amazon.com: Bible, Concordances and Commentaries.
“It’s not about religion,” says Kovacs. “It’s about the Bible. What’s in it, and what’s not. You’ll truly be stunned when you see for yourself what Scripture has to say, without anyone telling you it doesn’t mean what it says. You may even find that what you thought was in the Bible is the exact opposite of what it really states.”
“Shocked by the Bible” is jam-packed with fantastic facts few have ever dared to publish for general audiences.
Kovacs holds nothing back as he purposefully avoids the psychobabble of boring theologians and instead quotes directly from the Bible itself, addressing incredible issues of which many people are simply unaware.
Did you know …
- The Bible does not say Jesus died on a Friday, or rose from the grave Sunday morning
- There were not just two of every kind of animal aboard Noah’s Ark
- The word “Easter” has vanished from today’s Bibles
- The practice of decorating a tree with silver and gold is actually condemned by God
- God wanted to kill Moses
- Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Jews
- The Bible talks about “gay” sex with angels. Yes, you read that right.
These comprise just a small fraction of the issues Kovacs explores in “Shocked by the Bible.” It will even make you burst out in laughter as it probes subjects you’ll rarely, if ever, hear in church or on TV and radio shows.
- There’s a character in the Bible called a “dumb ass”
- Underwear didn’t disintegrate despite 40 years of heavy use
- The worst case of hemorrhoids in history is recorded
“For hundreds of years, people have been brainwashed by myths and misconceptions,” says Kovacs. “I want to shine the light of truth on Scripture, and show you with your own eyes the amazing facts you’ve never seen or heard before.”
Already, “Shocked by the Bible” is receiving rave reviews:
“If you think you really know the Bible, better think again. Joe Kovacs takes a close look at the greatest story ever told and separates myth from reality. My favorite parts of the book deal with Christmas and Easter. Check out ‘Shocked by the Bible.’ You may well be shocked.”
- Bill O’Reilly, anchor, Fox News Channel“Your parents never told you THIS STUFF was in the Bible.”
- Melanie Morgan, radio talk-show host, co-author “American Mourning”“‘Shocked by the Bible’ is nothing short of genius. From start to finish, Joe Kovacs turns the subject of Scripture into a fun-filled, information treasure that’s virtually impossible to put down. The truth of what’s really in the Bible will simply stun the world.”
- Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily
While this eye-opening blockbuster explodes on the scene everywhere Sept. 30, WND has copies personally autographed by the author ready to ship this week.
Kovacs has written countless reports in his 25-year news career. Many have focused on biblical issues such as chariot wheels said to be found in the Red Sea, searches for Noah’s Ark and the Ark of the Covenant, and controversies over Christmas and Easter holidays as well as the Saturday-vs.-Sunday Sabbath.
Kovacs has received many awards for news excellence from the Associated Press and United Press International. He’s run television, radio and print newsrooms in the U.S., as well as Budapest, Hungary. Kovacs is also regarded as one of the premier creative headline writers in the news business today.
Ultimate taboo hits big screen: Sex with children
FROM WND
Family advocate calls for boycott of promotions for ‘pedophilia’
By Bob Unruh
“These despicable movies promote pedophilia, whether intentionally or unintentionally,” said Ted Baehr, who’s well known for his Christian Film & Television Commission work. “There should be a massive public outcry against them. The inclusion of children in sexually explicit films is inappropriate. There also is no excuse for the authorities to allow such material to be shown publicly.”
Baehr cited “Hounddog,” a movie featuring a scene portraying the rape of actress Dakota Fanning, filmed when she was 12, and “Towelhead,” which features 18-year-old actress Summer Bishil playing a 13-year-old Arab-American girl who portrays a “sexual obsession,” experiences “grooming” and other scenes.
“We’ve got to have communities rescue these children. Where’s the sense of shame, outrage, the sense of saying, ‘We’re not going to let this happen,” Baehr told WND. “We cannot do this anymore.”
“The thing we need to do is avoid it,” he said. “These people need to be stopped.”
 Dakota Fanning in the controversial “Hounddog” film that features a child-rape scene |
Baehr is joined in the boycott call by a pro-family organization in North Carolina, the state where much of the “Hounddog” movie featuring Fanning’s “rape” was filmed.
Under the headline “Child Pornography is Going Mainstream,” on the website of the Concerned Women for America, Donna Miller, a chapter leader in the Fayetteville, N.C., area and director of the No More Child Porn Campaign, also said those who are concerned by the film’s representation by Fanning of “a 9-year-old that is raped by a man in his late teens, after he tricks her into dancing naked,” should protest to authorities.
“Our concern is that this film would say to other children that this behavior is acceptable. As taxpayers here in North Carolina, we’re not happy about this,” Miller said.
She suggested several actions, including contacting U.S. Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and the Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, 20530 or 202-353-1555.
“Tell him that you have grave concerns that this film, with its visual representation of a child engaging in sexually suggestive behaviors and being sexually assaulted, opens the door for child pornography to be mainstreamed into the entertainment industry,” she suggested.
She said people also should contact their local theaters and ask them not to show the film, set for release tomorrow.
Miller said her group asked for an investigation into the production of the movie earlier this summer after learning North Carolina taxpayers contributed $387,000 to the film’s expenses.
“It’s shocking that the state of North Carolina paid almost $400,000 in taxpayer credits for this movie,” Baehr told WND. “I can’t imagine the people of North Carolina want to pay out of their hard-earned tax dollars during an economic downturn money for a 21-year-old man to rape a 12-year-old girl.”
Miller said she just wanted to make the public aware of the “mainstreaming of child pornography that is being achieved through the release of this movie.”
Deborah Kampmeier, writer and director, explained in the film’s press kit about Fanning, “She is simply and innocently experiencing and relishing the aliveness of her being, the life force pulsing through her body, celebrating the power and creative force of her sexuality that is her birthright.”
“This movie is about a nine-year-old girl, not an adult woman. She should be outside skipping rope or riding her bike, not ‘celebrating the power and creative force of her sexuality,’” Miller said.
Baehr was more direct.
“For this gruesome director who has wallowed in perversion to say this is the child exploring her sexuality is insane. It’s worse than insane. A child of that age doesn’t understand the consequences,” he said.

The movie triggered a furor at the Sundance Festival last year because of the scene depicting a rape of Fanning.
Others who have raised objections to the movie have included, according to Miller, radio and TV host Sean Hannity, Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman and the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue.
Kampmeier already had a reputation for controversial scenes, depicting a young girl who is raped but doesn’t remember the attack and believes she is carrying the Christ child in her earlier work, “Virgin.”
Although there was little interest in the distribution of “Hounddog” initially, it eventually was picked up by Empire Film Group. Spokesman Dean Hamilton-Bornstein called it a “coming-of-age drama that deals with serious issues that should resonate with audiences.”
After its Sundance screening, Rex Gore, the district attorney in Bolivia, N.C., near where much of the movie was filmed, issued a statement to WND that he found “no violation” of the state’s obscenity or sexual exploitation laws.
He said the movie was saved by its “artistic value.”
“I am aware that there is an outcry from some who find the content of the film disturbing and distasteful. However, public opinion is not the test we must apply as prosecutors; we must apply the law. North Carolina’s child exploitation statutes do not apply because none of the acts depicted in the film meet the legal definition of ‘sexual activity’ under our current law,” Gore said at the time.
Baehr didn’t hesitate to respond.
“For the state attorney to even suggest that this was art is absolutely insane. He should take a course in art,” he said.
 Dakota Fanning appearing in “Charlotte’s Web” |
Carla Roberts, who runs the Yahweh Center Children’s Village for abused or neglected children in Wilmington, N.C., near where the filming took place, told WND at the time she would have to wonder about the adults responsible for putting a child in such a position.
The “Hounddog” script revealed the Fanning character’s clothes dropping to the floor before she sings and an assailant unzipping his jeans.
World Entertainment News Network was one of the first to comment on the scene, calling it a shocker for Fanning’s fans.
“She has shot child rape scenes and appears semi-naked,” the network said.
Fanning’s behavior has been described as more explicit than what was required of Jodie Foster, who as a 12-year-old played a prostitute in “Taxi Driver,” a 1976 Martin Scorsese production, or Brooke Shields, who was a New Orleans brothel worker in the “Pretty Baby” movie from 1978.
Baehr warned that unless the growing attack on those with faith and values is defeated, America soon will follow the course of other societies that have descended to the point of promoting sexual activity with children.
“We have to say, ‘No, we cannot have a society that is destroying children,’” he said.
“There are things that are happening today that are not as egregious as [in the days of] Nero and Caligula, but they are pushing the envelope in some ways even further,” Baehr said. “History says that it was before the days of Noah when [society] last saw something on this order.”
“Towelhead,” directed by Alan Ball, is about “a young Arab-American girl [who] struggles with her sexual obsession.” The character “navigates the confusing and frightening path of adolescence and her own sexual awakening,” according to a promotional synopsis.
The Los Angeles Times’ review said the movie includes a “discomforting anatomical ‘grooming’ incident between Jasira and the mother’s sleazy boyfriend.”
Blogger Steven Pill said it appears that the public is making its statement already.
“I received a somewhat rueful message of congratulations from Eric Parkinson, the CEO of distribution for Empire Film Group,” he wrote recently. “According to him, more than 200 theaters across the country had cancelled their scheduled screenings of the motion picture ‘Hounddog,’ citing pressure from ‘vocal groups.’”
