What do Pedophiles, Balenciaga, and the Eureka City Council have in Common?
The word “Pedophile” comes with a particular sting for nearly anyone. If you are lucky enough to be a parent or have the opportunity to raise young children by other means, typically, your disposition to pedophilia and/or pedophiles will be harshly negative. It would be natural for most of this population segment to hate pedophiles for their perversion, specifically targeting children. However, it seems that specific political identities within the same group of adults presented above and the popularly referred to LGBQT+ “community” have a very indifferent, if not favorable, view of pedophiles.
Indeed even Google Trends recognizes this, with the terms “Transgender” and even “Hollywood Pedophiles” coming up as associated trends – or – breakout-related trends related to the search term “pedophiles.” (see embed and video below)
According to Emma Nolan in an article published by Newsweek on 7/31/2020, below is a list of “Celebrities and high profile figures named in court documents” who traveled to Epstein Island, and/or had a close association with the late Jeffery Epstein who allegedly didn’t kill himself in prison. Jeffery Epstein was the infamous child sex trafficker and pedophile blackmail-for-hire honey-pot manager famous for his rather remarkable portrait of William Jefferson Clinton, in a dress.

List of Hollywood Celebrities connected to Jeffery Epstein
- Prince Andrew
- Alan Dershowitz
- Emmy Taylor
- Sarah Kellen
- Eva Dubin
- Glen Dubin
- Jean Luc Brunel
- Nadia Marcinkova
- Bill Clinton
- Marvin Minsky
- Henry Jarecki
- Naomi Campbell
- Ron Eppinger
- Stephen Hawking
By itself, these trends do not draw a direct correlation between the Transgender movement, Pedophiles, and, say, real-world registered sex offenders on federal databases. Google Trends is clearly not a collection of peer-reviewed research papers on the topic either, just getting that out there for the speculative reader before they are turned off by the conclusions I appear to be drawing.

LoCo Populist Not Really Keen on Pedophilia and Groomer Research
Research like this is not something we at Lost Coast Populist wake up in the morning chomping at the bit to do: deep dive into the pedophilia rabbit hole. Unfortunately, we do not decide the news tips which are sent to us, but we will not shy away from a controversial topic just because it makes our stomachs turn and will undoubtedly ruffle some local feathers. At any rate, it has come to our attention that Kim Bergel, at the end of the November 1 Eureka City Council Meeting, had the following to say in response to an email from a concerned parent regarding the All Ages Drag Show put on by Redwood Pride at The Jefferson Community Center.
Kim Bergel Comment Re: All Ages Drag Shows
It’s extremely extremely disappointing to me that people felt the need to go to a Halloween event and create chaos. Instead of harmony, and then to attack verbally and social media wise, people that participated in that event and that made a fun and happy day for a lot of people. Thank you.
Kim Bergel – Eureka City Council Meeting, November 1 2022
This kind of craziness is just, it’s unacceptable. It’s just, it’s, it’s. It’s just unacceptable.
And I am so grateful and thankful to all the people that came out and shared tonight and talked about their experience. And, you know, encountering, you know, cause I’m like, sit here and I take tally sometimes of, you know, who’s coming and who’s not commenting. And, and it was great to see that, at least in this forum, that love wins, that there were, you know, four or five of those folks that were really, you know, negative.
And hopefully we can work with them to have conversations to enlighten each other and, you know, build on where we do agree, because I’m sure that there are places that we all agree that we can start.
But if we’re up here in the divisiveness, we’re never going to get there. So, you know, whether it’s a clean city, a safe city, whatever, you know, let’s work together. Umm, and kind of figure this out, at least. If we can’t figure it out, be respectful in our conversations.
It’s just ridiculous. It really is. And it’s, it’s, it’s upsetting to listen to you; frankly, you know?
By itself, the above comment, to anyone who wasn’t at the All Ages Drag Show or hasn’t watched the videos or viewed the images we collected at the scene, might think they are hearing a pragmatic rebuttal from a sound observer who has given both sides of the issue a lot of thought. You might think Kim Bergel is showing some remarkable poise worthy of respect and admiration. However, she continued on with the following statement, which is still shocking to hear and read.
Kim Bergel Supports All Ages Drag Shows 100%
I just want to say one more thing about that. I really appreciate my last. My last two voter appreciation parties. I’ve had Drag Queens there, and they had lots of family members there. And it was, it’s been a great thing.
Kim bergel, eureka city council, nov 1 2022
We got an email that said, “Would you take your child to a drag thing?”
And I 100%, 100% all day, every day, whether they were two (years old), whether they were 15 (years old), whether there was, you know whatever the expression that they used, I’m 100% in support.
Drop the mic.
Critical Race Theory Creates Homeschooling Trend
It is fascinating to see that the search terms “Homeschooling” and “Homeschool” seem to be trending in California at the very same time we publish this article. Zooming in even further, the two search terms are trending in the Humboldt County Metro Area, shown as Eureka Metro Area on the embedded images.


With Critical Race Theory (locally rebranded as “Social Emotional Learning“) making headlines nationwide due to outcry from concerned parents, center-right political candidates, and popular news pundits alike, is it a surprise to find these two terms trending here in Humboldt?
I am on the same side of the fence as the seemingly thousands of local parents typing these terms into Google, having recently decided via my wife’s strong encouragement and leadership to homeschool our two school-aged boys to protect them from this specific policy and ideology. What a fantastic thing to realize – we are not only supported by our community in this change, but more importantly, we are not alone, and neither are you.
Unfortunately, it seems like Humboldt County Parents have been sleeping at the wheel. In the vacuum of community awareness brought on by this blissful slumber, the local woke left mob appears to have gone full-send on hosting regional all-ages drag shows with incredibly risque adult elements. These elements appear surprisingly similar in nature to the controversial Balenciaga Advertisements featuring toddlers holding teddy bears dressed in and surrounded by BDSM gear.
#Trustthescience All-ages Drag Shows, Grooming, Pedophilia?
In no way am I laying the claim that parents who bring their underaged children to all-ages drag shows are themselves pedophiles, or even dabbling in pedophilia. However, from the research I’ve collected, it appears that pedophiles are definitely not born that way, that children are incredibly impressionable, and there are peer-reviewed articles which show the dangers of subjecting children to drag shows.
Pedophiles Are NOT Born That Way – Product of Environment
“There doesn’t seem to be a pedophilia center in the brain,” says Cantor. “Instead, there’s either not enough of this cabling, not the correct kind of cabling, or it’s wiring the wrong areas together, so instead of the brain evoking protective or parental instincts when these people see children, it’s instead evoking sexual instincts. There’s almost literally a crossed wiring.”
Cord Jefferson, GAWKER.COM “Born This Way: Sympathy and Science for those who want to have sex with children“
It begs the question of why Gawker.com would choose to pull this article entirely from its website, but luckily we could access the archive via the Wayback Machine. Coupling the above quote with the following information, a very dark underbelly begins to show that may be behind the local push to normalize all-ages drag shows.
Psychology Today: Individual’s Environment, Particularly When Still a Child, Can Affect the Future Development of Pedophilic Urges
In an article published by Psychology Today by John Parrington, Ph.D., titled, “Are Pedophiles Born or Made? Both nature and nurture combine in a complex way in the genesis of a pedophile,” Dr. Parrington adds to the comments above with the following breakdown directly from the article:
“Are Pedophiles Born or Made? Both nature and nurture combine in a complex way in the genesis of a pedophile,” Dr. Parrington
- As for other mental disorders, evidence is increasingly showing that both nature and nurture play a role in the genesis of pedophilia.
- Some neuroscientists claim to have demonstrated by brain imaging studies that the brains of pedophiles are wired differently to non-pedophiles.
- An individual’s environment, particularly when they themselves are still a child, can also affect whether they later develop pedophilic urges.
- A better understanding of how pedophilic urges arise in a person might help us to recognize and prevent them before they ruin children’s lives.
So, an individual’s environment, mainly when they themselves are still a child, can also affect whether they later develop pedophilic urges and pedophiles’ brains, when brain scan images are studied, appear to show their brains are wired differently as compared to non-pedophiles. Furthermore, understanding the mechanics of all this is paramount to protecting our children from predators because “understanding of how pedophilic urges arise in a person might help us to recognize and prevent them before they ruin children’s lives.”
PubMed: The Ratio of Homosexual to Heterosexual Pedophiles is 11:1
In another study published by Pubmed titled, “The proportions of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles among sex offenders against children: an exploratory study,” the study concluded with the following findings, which, when taken with what we have learned this far, is beginning to raise serious questions about the “family-friendly” nature of these local all-ages drag shows.
Using phallometric test sensitivities to calculate the proportion of true pedophiles among various groups of sex offenders against children, and taking into consideration previously reported mean numbers of victims per offender group,
K Freund, R J WATSON, PUBMED
the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1.
This suggests that the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually.
Recently gaining the attention of the Humboldt Human Rights Committee, local concerned parents, one being Elaine Zeigler, recently featured as a guest on the LoCoPopulist Podcast, have been hailed as a “hate group.” These allegations have not only been made by the above-mentioned but also Queer Humboldt, as shown in the main video for this article.
Concerned Parents or Local Hate Group?
This is a reaction to concerned parents showing up with American Flags to peacefully protest the All-Ages Drag Show event by Redwood Pride in cooperation with Heidi Benzonelli, leader of the now-repurposed elementary school, The Jefferson Community Center. As boasted in their “Story” video below and covered by North Coast Journal, Benzonelli and company received a $3.3 Million grant to renovate Jefferson Elementary School in April of 2012.
There is no possible way the underwriters of that grant would have given it approval if they knew Heidi Benzonelli and comrades would later host all-ages drag shows, especially if they were to digest the information in this article completely.
Most are aware Lost Coast Populist was live streaming on our Facebook page and capturing critical shots with a handheld camera during the now infamous All-ages Drag Show held at The Jefferson Center. We dumped most of our collected footage on our Youtube Channel, which automatically populates our Videos Section here on lostcoastpopulist.com. Some were just too graphic for us to release.
Later on, we received an anonymous news tip via our hotline (707-786-3352) informing us a large body of local leftists and “LGBTQ community members” were planning to pour onto the upcoming Eureka City Council meeting with public commentary defaming the concerned parents for protesting a “family-friendly costume party.” I, Liberty Lady, and Ash Teeter wrote emails to the Council and showed up to read these comments into the record so those of us in the HP and HPPlus Community would have equal representation.

After receiving an anonymous tip via TIPS@LOSTCOASTPOPULIST.COM we discovered the comments from Kim Bergel above, which were at the very last moments of the meeting; you can watch them here. The Council was so proud of Bergel’s remarks Susan said, “With that, we will adjourn.” Notice how Kim Bergel looks to her comrades on the Council for approval after she makes what she likely recognizes are incredibly controversial remarks.
Donnie Creekmore Public Comment to Eureka City Council 12-6-2022
My first question is for Susan, you said some things. You said you were gonna “make some things worse” on November 1st if you were to actually make your comments before the public comments. You said it was interesting hearing me say, “I’m free to hate,” omitting the fact that I said, “I’m free to hate pedophiles.”
Not sure how you miss that one.
Kim Bergel said November 1st that she “100%” supports drag shows for kids as young as “two years old.”
Kim, do you support Balenciaga and their recent commercial ads depicting a toddler with a teddy bear in BDSM clothing surrounded by other BDSM gear as well as some empty wine glasses?
I’d also be curious of what do you say to critics who call those ads and all age drag shows, “grooming” and “borderline pedophilia.”
Do you perhaps own any Balenciaga products in your wardrobe, perhaps from the same ads in question?
Scott, I got a question for you.
Scott Bower, Ward Four, he acts like my self identification as a patriot on November 1st, was somehow me claiming he and all others present were NOT Patriots, even though these words never let my mouth.
He says, I claim he and everyone else is not a patriot or not patriotic, because, quote, “we don’t share the same disdain for those who are different.”
Again, completely missing where I say all age drag shows were kids wandering in and out of un-managed doorways while adults dance in sexualized costumes for cash tips was a bad idea and maybe Heidi Benzonelli regrets holding an all age drag show at The Jefferson Center.
You know, I said, “I’m free to hate pedophiles.”
Pedophiles are sex offenders.
Do you guys have an indifferent position towards them? Is your disposition towards pedophiles like indifferent? Do you support pedophilia? I’m just curious.
I did a search on the DOJ’s National Sex Offender Public Website and, wouldn’t you know it, there’s 104 registered sex offenders within a three mile radius of the Jefferson Center, where they had this all age drag show open and free to the public with kids wandering in and out the door unmanaged, but no.
It’s, you know, the concerned parents who are “the bad guys” who were portrayed by yourselves as well as the local media, Humboldt County Human Rights Commission, all basically portraying them as “hate group.”
And that’s the big problem.
So it’s like, yeah, don’t call us a hate group because we Hate Pedophiles.OKAY. I just wanted to ask some questions.
DONNIE CREEKMORE, LOST COAST POPULIST, PUBLIC COMMENT @ EUREKA CITY COUNCIL MEETING 12-7-2022



@Komboujia Hosts All-Ages Drag Shows
On Sunday, December 11th, 2022, at 5:30 PM, “Brainwash Events Presents: 2nd SUNDAY HOLISLAY – Free All-Ages Drag Show,” for parents in Humboldt County who, for whatever reasons one can only speculate, are interested in exposing the young impressionable minds of their children to such an event. If you are curious and want an idea of what to expect from the host, @komboujia, you can browse their entire Instagram profile here. We’ve done you one more solid by hosting a few choice posts in… his? Her? It’s? .. uhhmm, Instagram profile post gallery.
The most notable of the following gallery embedded directly from @Komboujia’s Instagram Page are the following segments of a recent all-ages drag show where this “performer” lip-sings to the song “Its Corn,” by The Greggory Brothers. This song has a child singing about how much they love corn. The combination of this song and its child themes mixed with sexualized costumes and dancing where the performer squirts ketchup on corn-on-the-cob chunks fashioned atop stick handles.
A Trifecta of Footage from a Recent All-ages Drag Show
“It’s Corn,” Child-Themed Song @ All-Ages Drag Show
Below this section of the text, you will find a collection of their upcoming and past All Ages Drag Event Advertisements. On the now past Halloween, the All Ages Drag Event, titled “CISTEM FAILURE,” an apparent jab at heterosexual norms and the so-called patriarchy so many hold misplaced judgment toward due to decades of progressive democrat programming. Once upon a time, in September 2019, the official Black Lives Matter website in their “What We Believe” section stated the following, which has since been scrubbed from their website.
Black Lives Matter, but not Heterosexual Nuclear Families
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).
We cultivate an intergenerational and communal network free from ageism. We believe that all people, regardless of age, show up with the capacity to lead and learn.
Black Lives Matter, What We Believe, Circa 2019
I honestly do not understand how the above language helps the African American Community in any way. It appears to this author the above was written by hard-core woke leftists, for hard-core woke leftists, and that most moderate democrats and centrist independents/no-party-preference voters who historically and presently identify with Black Lives Matter/BLM had absolutely no idea their organization held such controversial views, however less comfortable they may be now to share them openly.
BLM Normalized Elements Lead Directly to Pedophilic Urges
What I see appears to be a rhetorical combination generated by the normalization of dissolving age boundaries and norms with a queer-affirming network intent on freeing themselves from the “tight grip tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).” BLM’s overarching goal is to disrupt the “western-prescribed nuclear family structure.”
When you realize this organization was a top donor to exclusively democrat politicians, the fact that identity politics is now creating an environment – an environment which, in scientific terms, will inevitably breed pedophilic urges into a percentage of the children exposed to settings such as those found at all-ages drag shows – it will hopefully help you question your political affiliations.
Another All-Ages Drag Show – Anonymous News Tip
Earlier this morning, we received yet another news tip via telephone and an email from a concerned parent out of Ferndale, CA, reporting the upcoming all-ages drag show in The Old Steeple.
Hello there, It has been brought to my attention that Ferndale, our little cream city, will have a drag show on Feb 5th for all ages. It will be held at the Old Steeple. This is very concerning and scary as a parent. This came from the lost coast pride Instagram page. Oddly, the steeple is choosing not to advertise this on its website. Please do not share my email with anyone. Or my name. Keep fighting,
lost coast anon, concerned parent protester
It appears to me, all-ages drag shows are hazardous events to promote, host, and especially to expose to young children. Science is precisely showing a child’s environment to be directly related to future pedophilic urges and that for every 1 heterosexual predator of children, there are 11 homosexual pedophiles. The claim of “trans-youth” needing an outlet and a safe space to experience representation as a noble activity is clearly a misplaced good intention which is now causing division in the local community, lasting damage to our youth, and potentially creating future sexual predators.
Over 100 Sexual Predators within a 3-mile radius of Jefferson Center
Even worse, we discovered over 100 sexual predators within a 3-mile radius of The Jefferson Center, where they held the All-Ages Drag Show, stimulating the media and political controversy. How, after reading this article, can Heidi Benzonelli or any one of the local homosexual-based organizations continue to host and promote what seems to be pedophile factories is absolutely beyond my comprehension. Working on this article really hit home. Multiple times I found myself needing to get up, walk away from the desk, and hug my wife and kids while I sobbed in reflection of what I’d come to know.
Click Image to Visit the NSOP Website

My wife’s decision to homeschool our children, something she spearheaded on her own, I now see as one of the most heroic things she has ever done for our children and their future families, by extension. The suggestibility of children, mine especially, is an absolute constant and something that is part and parcel of childhood innocence. Seeking in any way to sexualize or expose such suggestive innocence to strip club-like drag show environments while their brains are still underdeveloped and absorbing the information around them like a sponge, by providing the confusing imagery of transsexual-themed dancing seems like child abuse.
With the Democrat-run California Government recently releasing thousands of convicted pedophiles back onto the streets and the increasing number of all-ages drag shows popping up locally, Humboldt Parent Patriots need to be ever vigilant.
So, to help my fellow parent patriots protect their youth and others from this apparent agenda to normalize this borderline pedophilic enterprise of all-ages drag shows, I’ve poured over the internet to bring as many local occurrences, both past and present, to this article so you can better spread the word to other concerned parents to be who are still lost in blissful slumber. Be awake, not woke.
