4.0 out of 5 stars Thank You, Dr. Reisman!, July 8, 2005
This review is from: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme (Paperback)
The following information is from the book: In the 1930s a homosexual, sadomasochistic zoologist specializing in insects, Alfred Kinsey, formulated a plan to subvert traditional views of sexual morality and replace them with an "absolutely anything goes" viewpoint. Pedophelia, child prostitution, incest, rape, sex with animals, homosexuality, sadomasochism, obsessive masturbation--all this was good and to be encouraged.

Author Judith Reisman relates that, under the guise of teaching a marriage course at Indiana University, Kinsey began collecting data. He started with an intrusive 350-item questionnaire and moved on to encouraging his staff, their wives, visiting scholars and others to perform a variety of unconventional sex acts while he observed and filmed them in a soundproof room paid for with tax monies and with funds from the Rockefeller Foundation.

People who wanted to work with him or even have access to him were required to submit their own sexual histories, which he later used as a form of blackmail to control some of them.

These studies on male and female sexuality purported to study normal men and women, but it was almost impossible to get volunteers to give the information he wanted and do what he wanted, and many men were away at war, so the males studied were mostly prison inmates, (specifically sex offenders--Kinsey was not interested in petty thieves and the like), homosexuals, and others in institutional settings where there was little freedom to choose to refuse.

The females were mostly prostitutes and other groups known for their licentious behavior as compared with the current standards of morality. Yet the results of these studies were said to represent the normal U.S. population.

Studies were also done on children as young as two months old, who were repeatedly stimulated to what Kinsey described as "orgasm" but what was described in detail as screaming, crying and shaking. At one point in the Kinsey report, it is said that these crimes were perpetrated by one adult "observer", a pedophile who said he had abused more than 800 children. Kinsey, rather than turning him in to the police, encouraged him to keep a record of his activities for Kinsey's use.

At another point in the Kinsey report, it was said that nine adult observers were involved in these crimes. Other "slips of the tongue" in the report seem to indicate that Kinsey and his staff participated with the children.

The information revealed by Reisman shows that, statistically, the two Kinsey reports are laughable. Reisman names highly respected statisticians and psychologists who caught the errors and criticized Kinsey's methods and results, which were invalid due to poor scientific method. In addition, Kinsey "massaged" the fallacious data, removing subjects whose results would not support his hypotheses and adding those whose results would support it.

Nevertheless, the Rockefeller Foundation's media machine quickly disseminated the reports into every nook and cranny of the U.S., and there was little coverage of the criticism. People believed these pseudoscientific reports, and changed their views.

Today, some of Kinsey's staff are still promoting his vision through various sexuality-focused organizations. They use Kinsey's spurious data and methods to train doctors, teachers, lawyers, sexologists and many others about human sexuality. They testify in court as experts on sexuality. The "Grand Scheme" goes on, and the degradation of our culture is the result.

Reisman's book is not without flaws. It needs a good proofreader. And she makes a handful of assertions without backing them up. In other places, her opinions and speculation are clearly labeled as just that.

But her evidence is bedrock solid. It comes in the form of lengthy, detailed, direct quotes from Kinsey and his co-authors, who worked with him on the projects that led to the books. They freely reveal things that may shock and horrify readers because they don't think there is anything wrong with what they are revealing.

Reisman has devoted her time, effort, her very life to uncovering the causes of current attitudes that degrade and victimize women and children and view them as sexual playthings. She is a consultant to a number of government agencies and her work has been presented to the U.S. Congress, the Supreme Court, the Department of Defense, and other agencies. She has written three other books on Kinsey, one of which is due to be released soon. Thank you, Dr. Reisman.

There's much more, but this is already too long. Read the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oversexualization of our progeny and the horrible consequences, June 16, 2009
This review is from: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme (Paperback)
Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences by Judith A. Reisman is a well-documented, closely argued, reasonable, and well-written deconstruction attack and burial of the fraudulent ideas and research of entomologist and insane pervert Alfred C. Kinsey.

Reisman sadly lays out that American scientists have refused to face the facts and admit that the Kinsey Reports were scientifically and statistically flawed. Most notably by:
1) using unrepresentative samples and
2) invalid statistical methodology, and
3) accepting "data" on children and children's sexual practices reported by habitual criminal child molesters.

On the last point, Reisman carefully documents that Kinsey *included* the reports of child molesters as *normative* behavior. He did not believe that the children were "victims" and the sociopathological projections of these monsters who recounted that "children enjoyed [being sexually molested]" Kinsey included as evidence that children naturally and normatively engage in sex with adults. In other words: the criminal got to tell the story that the victim enjoyed being raped. The question of asymmetric power did not come up, in Kinsey's world.

"The father of human sexuality education was, really, a sexual psychopath," says Reisman, and Kinsey's fraud is "the major scientific scandal of our nation."

Sadly, the educational establishment in the U.S.A. promoting national agendas of sex education all citing Kinsey as an authority continue to churn out false and misleading information to our children's impressionable minds, as this sad book all too clearly spells out.

Should be required reading for clergy and social workers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work, January 25, 2005
This review is from: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme (Paperback)
Reisman has done an excellent, scholarly job on this book. Completely supported by fact, she has sent Kinsey's bed-fellows up in arms.

Note how those who detract from the book say nothing substantive. They simply repeat that what is said is only hear-say. This is clearly not true. It is interesting how they give no examples of this 'hear-say.' Apparently those who had the 'experiments' done to them at 5 years old are not reliable. Since when were eye-witnesses unreliable????

Also, note how the detractors all admit that Kinsey's conclusions were entirely based on thoroughly unrepresentative samples. Modern studies (where they are able to be pursued) directly contradict Kinsey's studies.

Thank you Dr. Judith Reisman!

1.0 out of 5 stars Killing the messenger, December 28, 2004
This review is from: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme (Paperback)
Kinsey obviously struck a nerve when he reported the existence of any kind of sexual activity other than blissful heterosexual monogamy, but he did not cause them. Certainly adultery, venereal disease, abortion, pornography, and pedophilia existed centuries before Kinsey collected this data. The timing of his report came at the time of other social changes from the new clean surgical techniques that made abdominal surgery safer, to coeducation, to the availability of the birth control pill. Clearly, he was part of a surge of change, but the change couldn't have occurred without many other factors, as well as the desire for change by society. Reisman ignores any of these complications in her zeal for the easy answer.

Yes, Kinsey's data is skewed toward the groups available for questioning-white college students, prisoners, and one dangerous pedophile. Data usually reflects the clusters of population at any time in history and the social segregation of all kinds that exist. The data on this book review is a small example-it represents the political clusters that exist now. Kinsey and IU, like any good researcher - and unlike Reisman - improves credibility by acknowledging these factors.

The lightning rod for criticism seems to be the pedophile that turned over his journals to Kinsey that covered in obsessive detail his partners, voluntary and involuntary; he began his devastating criminal activity decades before Kinsey reported it. Reisman might fight a losing battle debating that Kinsey's reporting role collecting information is different from the role of the perpetrator himself, so she doesn't even acknowledge it. Enlightened societies allow a news gatherer to publish a photo of a disturbing news event and don't blame the reporter. Furthermore, it seems an abdication of personal responsibility to blame the person holding up the mirror for what the mirror shows.

A bibliography added at the end is now standard procedure for the shrill political discourse that tops the Internet search charts, but in this case it proves as meaningless as when sports fans quote each other for support that their team should have won. I would rather see a summary of the author's credentials - where is that?

In sum, Kinsey's data shows information some would rather not learn from, so the author and her disciples kill the messenger.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total Propaganda, December 19, 2004
By 
J. Olsen "jto72" (Tucson, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme (Paperback)
In her zeal to discredit Alfred Kinsey Dr. Reisman allows her bias to become embarrassingly apparent. Her arguments are not supported by fact, and even the most casual of research reveals that many of her claims are false. While Alfred Kinsey's research makes fascinating study (his methodology was flawed making his findings questionable) Dr. Reisman (the Ph.D. is in communications, by the way) is more concerned with distorting the truth to support her agenda. She is admittedly opposed to homosexuality (she basically argues that all homosexuals are [...]), which is absolutely her right; however, he willingness to lie and deceive (the factual errors in this book were deliberate, I'm sorry) is quite shocking.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you hated Galileo, you'll love this book, April 9, 2005
By 
This review is from: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme (Paperback)
Glad that Galileo was persecuted for discovering truth about our planet? Well then you will love Judith Reisman's absurd distortion of Kinsey.

Fundamentalists who can not stand the way scientific facts conflict with their myths and blissful ignorance will stop at nothing to discredit anyone who attempts to bring truths to light. Reisman must be a hero to those fundamentalists. But you will never find anyone who takes science seriously reading this book or giving it any credibility.
