Predatory Pedophile Promoted and Protected by Democrat Party

In Wake of the Mark Foley Allegations,
Ron Berry should not be Just a Kentucky Secret

So much for the moral high ground that Democrats think they have achieved for the upcoming elections due to Mark Foley and the congressional pages incident.

While I don’t dismiss the seriousness of Foley’s behavior, I know that the country would be just as shocked if news spread about what we in Lexington, Kentucky know all too well. Just mention Ron Berry and the Micro-City Government program and thoughts of Democratic debauchery come to mind.

From sea to shining sea, Americans should know about Ron Berry and his government-funded program, which became his personal pedophile farm. Berry was the “civil rights leader” in Lexington and the Democrat Party’s Black political boss and chief influence peddler.

It should shake the faith of the Democrat Party’s African American base voters to know that their party instituted, funded, promoted and protected Berry and his organization for nearly 30 years. Micro-City Government was supposed to be an experiential learning program focused on political affairs and the main recipient of government funds for the summer jobs program for Black youths. However, the program was a pedophile fiefdom for man-boy love affairs.

Although he spent three years in prison, Berry is as defiant as ever by refusing to admit guilt or show remorse. He was arrested again recently on October 10, 2006 for violating a sex offender law prohibiting him from residing within 1000 feet of a park frequented by children.

In fact, the urban-county government of Lexington still seeks to shield itself from liability for the sex crimes of Berry. The city has paid $3 million in damages in two civil lawsuits by the victims of Berry. Now, nearly a hundred victims with hundreds more on a wait and see basis have a $1 billion lawsuit pending against the city of Lexington.

The Democrat Party of Kentucky’s political machine is deemed the culprit. Four former mayors, which include a former Congressman Scotty Baesler are explicitly named in the lawsuit. Also, named in the lawsuit are council members, police chiefs and other city officials. It claimed they knew of Berry predatory pedophile behavior and that some of them participated in the pedophilia. Also, it claimed they conspired to maintain Berry in his position at the Micro-City Government program for the purpose of garnering the votes of the Black community for the Democrat Party so that city officials could maintain their elected and appointed positions.

Ben Chandler, present Congressman, served two terms as state attorney general, and he categorically refused to investigate Berry and his program. It was a statewide Democrat cover-up.

The facts about Berry, his Democrat Party sanctioned man-boy love affairs, and $3 million of hush money to victims are just the avalanche needed to knock the Democrats off their false position on the moral high ground.

Here are some other facts about Berry and his actions at Micro-City Government, Inc. :

• He sold children at staged slave auctions as sex slaves for the day. He told them that they would learn about Black history in this manner.
  
• In private with the boys, he would dress up as Diana Ross in a negligee and stuff globs of Vaseline inside his anus.
  
• The children were prostituted to other pedophiles throughout the Midwest.
  
• Photographs, videos and live depictions of sex acts involving children were produced.
  
• Some of those that were prostituted as teenagers have died of AIDS.
  
• Youths were taken on field trips to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and elsewhere. Later, busloads of homosexuals would show up.
  
• He would have the children disrobe in order to collect their paychecks.
  
• He would chain children who would not obey him.
  
• Some low-income parents would knowingly allow their children to engage in sexual acts in exchange for money and/or favors from Berry.
