I just realized that you can block untoward search results from your searches with a simple trick that doesn’t involve buying any software or signing up for anything.

If you’re searching on Google, which isn’t a great idea in the first place, you just need to click on the word Settings on the Google page.

It’s to the right of the search box.

Once in Settings, click on Safe-search and then on Lock Safe-search. The terms might be slightly different on some computers.  Then save your settings.

That should filter out spammy webs-sites or porn imagery even on regular sites.

I figured this out recently because I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of the whole Belle Knox story, which strikes me as extremely suspicious and most likely a concocted propaganda story of some kind.

Anyway, it’s hard to research the topic without running into her raunchy pictures. They pop up even on the first page of her Google search. Apart from being annoying, there’s always the danger of malicious software being hidden in such things and of accidentally clicking on one of those pop-ups while trying to read an article.

Once your settings are saved, you will no longer have to have the rude, crude, and vulgar stuff shoved into your face, just because you decide to take a second look at an obviously rotten story.

Why obviously?

Because college-age prostitution has been around for decades and it was never shoved into mainstream news before.

Because how many strippers do you know who can in the space of weeks get columns and write-ups on Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Playboy. with leading magazine writers vying to defend them and excoriate their critics?

And how many do you know who are offered their own TV shows, writing gigs, and college lecture circuit? Especially, when said porn “stars” have barely begun working in the porn industry?

And how many keep getting called “The Duke Porn Star,” when they just joined Duke?

The “Duke porn star” label was branding at its finest and the whole story seems to be an advertising campaign by the porn industry, which has taken a big hit in recent years from the rise of amateur (do-it-yourself) free porn.

So now the industry is reinventing itself to compete…

Some savvy porn entrepreneur ran into the Weeks family and saw in their self-harming, unstable, emotionally needy adolescent (with her body-image and boundary-setting problems and a history of rape and drug use)  the perfect vehicle to take violent porn, degradation, and sado- masochism mainstream….with the added twist of a “star” who is “barely legal” but looks about 12.

In America, it’s always “follow the money….”
