Interesting read, but I don't see Jerry Lewis as a hero. I was one of those kids in the seventies who participated in walk-a-thons to raise money for "Jerry's kids" and watched the telethon. But reading this now as the author talks about Jerry's friend, Sammy Davis Jr, I'm reminded of the pics of Sammy Davis Jr hanging out with Anton Lavey. This talks about Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin et al showing up for the Telethons, and I am reminded of the Playboy mansion honeypot.
George Carlin said, "It's a club and you ain't in it." He was right. Even back in the 70s, it was a big club and we were the dumbasses sending them money because we believed they were trying to help kids. Now we know that helping kids is not what these cultists do. They help themselves to kids. It's horrifying to think about. I want these cultists off the planet. Their time is over. They need to exit one way or another--by their own hand or put down like the rabid dogs they are. Short, fair trial followed by speedy justice.
Just think of how much money has been raised over many decades to cure various diseases...and yet, every last one of these diseases still exists. No significant progress has been made. Ever.
Well, if you find a cure, you wipe out a major revenue source for Big Pharma and the medical fields. We can't have that now, can we? /s
I know, but back then I at least understood so little about what was actually going on. People who donated actually thought they were helping to accomplish something. Now we know better.
Did the same. Remember watching Lewis with bags under his eyes, chain smoking, and pulling heart strings. Us kids didn't even know what Muscular Dystrophy was, but we wanted to help.
For what it's worth, Dean Martin seemed to be the black rat in the Rat Pack, in that he was a loner and introspective, and not into all the "broads" in the way the rest were.
The article mentions Elvis. I think Elvis was genuinely generous. I'm sure there were some entertainers who were truly generous and certainly most of the normal people out there watching and contributing were truly generous and caring about children. This is what these deep state asses don't seem to get--intent has weight in all of these equations. They played their games, laughing at all of us, but they were unleashing good intent in the process. Now they are reaping what they sowed. Praise God in Heaven.

Edit to correct "There" to "Their"

Oh, I agree. We were a lot more trusting back in those days, but not anymore. The genie is out of the bottle and there's no stuffing him back inside.

It would be nice to think there were some who were just truly generous, but your take is probably more accurate.
