PIE: from 1980 until its demise in 1985

If PIE had not existed, it would have been necessary for the News of the World to invent us. And in one sense it's true to say that the gutter press did invent PIE - or at least, the image of PIE which had been in general coinage since 1977: that of a secretive international "cult," probably with underworld connections, certainly with influence in "high quarters"; a porn-producing syndicate of callous men intent upon nothing but their own sexual gratification. But if PIE's early strategy had been different, how different would its public image have been? Several times the idea of folding PIE and replacing it with a new pedophile grouping was mooted on committee, but we'd never have successfully jettisoned PIE's reputation by the simple expedience of a name change, and even a substantially different alignment would not for long have escaped the vitriolic attention of PIE's enemies. This rose by any other name would have smelled no sweeter. [...]

Doubtless, many pedophiles wish we'd let this particular giant sleep on, but neither they nor children can be liberated from his tyranny without at least waking him in the process.
