Comments to Steve Sailer on the Dennis Hastert scandal:
* Homosexuals have been big in espionage, and I suspect homosexual networks have been big everywhere, for all time. Not so much for the blackmail, although homosexuals can blackmail people they have had sex with, but for the secret handshake aspect of it.
We know Jews are loyal to Jews, and other ethnic groups help each other to an extent, but my theory is homosexuals trump all of these. This bond seems to be stronger than family, clan, or nation, and I think is the deep reason homosexuals have been reviled- they are serious potential security risks.
* Rumors about Hastert having a gay molestation problem in his past have been around for years, but never got any traction.
* the indictment specifically mentions Hastert was a wrestling coach and teacher, and the blackmailer is a lifetime resident of Yorkville who knew Hastert most of his/her life.
