National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. It's the main organization behind the historic pushes to ban child pornography, and it's sister organization the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) pushed to put barriers against child sex tourism.

Highlights include - claiming child pornography is a multi billion dollar industry without any evidence.

I genuinely believe NGOs and civil servants can do good for society - for example helping the disabled and trying to mitigate the effects of climate change, so imposters like the NCMEC and ICMEC need to be discredited. No one with a serious desire to help children or society should be taking them seriously.

In my opinion they are central to enabling bigotry against MAPs to run rampant in institutions.
Agreed. And yet, when you go "too deep" down into the proverbial "Rabbit Hole", you begin to see that THE ENTIRE System is Corrupt To The Core; well, in fact, it's Orwellian Newspeak to the core (That is, it "works" for war-stuck interests, and doesn't work for those TAUGHT that it works for!). A Society built up for one thing: To build and secure Empire and to Perpetuate it as long as possible.

As far as these groups being central to enabling bigotry, well, they all get their initial legitimacy from certain funding sources. Probably not much different from how the Trilateral Commission (in the mid-1970s) made wide funding sources available to certain voices (namely, reactionary fascist-leaning groups like the femi-fascists) while ignoring others (namely, liberatory-oriented groups like liberation feminists!).

So you are INCENSED that they are liars, without seemingly able to recognize that ALL such well-funded entities are firmly embedded in Orwellianisms! They are simply in the service of statecraft! Just like ALL other well-funded entities. They obtain that Big Funding due to carrying out the "interests" of statecraft, after all. And would not be permitted to last long IF they were ACTUALLY inclined to solidarity with kids!!

But how can you awaken to this reality? i guess i could provide a one-time list, that you could share when others challenge this (i certainly don't have the stamina to respond so deeply to everyone!). Maybe start with Covert Action Magazine and other whistleblowers of these institutions. Say, Medal of Merit (USMC) winner and "high ranking" ex-c.i.a. official, John Stockwell --and the powerful Third World Traveler website that hosts him amongst MANY OTHERS!

There are good people everywhere. But the prerogatives of institutions (with their perpetual need for welfare, heh) push such people to the margins, at best. Wake up to this by checking out, for the best example i've shared here, those url links above!!
