I've re-christened it "Assassination Pron," within a fine internet tradition going back some years.
The word "porn" is a harsh hit in the eye for most folks, so "Assassination Pron" it is!
It isn't for me.
A simple modification of the following definition of pornography:
"creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire"
so that it reads:
"creative activity (writing or pictures or films, etc.) that distorts and/or fabricates history to cover-up criminality and/or preserve and protect criminal power structures related to and culpable for assassinations of political and cultural leaders"
gives us a working definition of "assassination porn."
The Swamp -- a/k/a EF -- offers safe haven to numerous assassination pornographers.
Assassination pornographers continue to attempt to penetrate DPF. Many have bee identified and banished from our research community. At least one continues to enjoy free rein here. My educated guess is that as yet unidentified others are here acting under deep cover.
I might add that I recognize and support the right of pornographers and assassination pornographers to express themselves freely.
The "stimulation of sexual desire" is, in and of itself, a good thing. There is immensely redeeming public value to be discerned in depictions of humans making love. Fuck the Puritans. (Who apparently did a whole lot of fucking, because there were so fucking many of them.)
A declaration of the obvious: Child pornography must not be tolerated. Pornography in which human beings and/or animals are physically and/or emotionally injured -- and even killed -- must not be tolerated. Pornographers who produce such materials must be prosecuted and punished. Their wares must be denied broad public distribution and restricted to libraries for the purposes of research and historic/cultural preservation.
And yet I describe myself as a "free speech absolutist."
No one said this would be easy.
Assassination pornography must be exposed as such to its intended victims.
Assassination pornographers must be labeled as such and scorned as, among other things, accessories to mass murder.
And yet I would not limit public access to their works.
No one said this would be easy.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
