Episode 3: C.S.E.’s Dark Historical Roots

Speaker: Rachel Read • Recorded: 21 June 2025 at CAS Perth 25

Rachel Read unpacks CSE from its ancient roots in the demonic principality Ashteroth which, millennia ago, sought to blur and erase the distinctions in human sex identity – to its modern roots in the work of pedophile/collaborator Alfred Kinsey, whose “research” UN & WHO handbooks still reference.

Manuscript

You know, so many people don’t want to address this topic. It’s too gross. It’s too hard to deal with. It’s overwhelming and so they just don’t want to talk about it , and that’s politicians, churches, parents, anyone. I take my hat off to you Dave for taking this on; you take on the tough stuff and we love you for it. So now, before I get started, I just want to say a quick word of prayer because what I’m about to talk about is very dark. I just want us to submit ourselves before the Lord first.

So Father, we just want to thank You for today. We thank You that You’re in control and You are a sovereign God. You are the Creator of the world and King of the universe. Lord, I just pray You send Your Holy Spirit to guard our minds and our hearts as we learn about this topic. I pray, Lord, that we would not respond with hate or with unrighteous anger, but Lord, that righteous anger and a desire to protect those who cannot speak for themselves would rise up to become action. I pray You would instil wisdom in each one of us today. Amen. 

The first thing I want to start with is that, first and foremost, this is a spiritual battle.

I’m going to just go back into it from the Old Testament because I think it’s really important to understand that there is nothing new under the sun. This has been around for thousands and thousands of years and it’s something that Jesus actually dealt with. When He came to earth, paganism really dropped off. Before that pagan worship was rife. It was something that God kept saying to Israel, you stop engaging in that. Don’t do what they’re doing.

I’m just going to go to 2 Kings. There were three main pagan gods worshipped in the Old Testament from the nations surrounding Israel and then also by Israel itself. That was Baal, Ashtoreth or Asherah and Molech.

We’re going to read from 2 Kings 17:15-18 

“They rejected His (God’s) decrees and the covenant He had made with their fathers and the warnings He had given them. They followed worthless idols and themselves became worthless. They imitated the nations around them although the Lord had ordered them “Do not do as they do”, and they did the things the Lord had forbidden them to do.

They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts and they worshipped Baal.”

We see here that Israel is worshipping at the Asherah pole. The Asherah pole has many names for this goddess. She’s called Ishtar, Ashtoreth, Aphrodite, Venus. There’s multiple names for this pagan goddess. She is the wife of Baal. She is the goddess of sexuality and the goddess of war. She is described as a fiery, impetuous, impulsive, greedy, emotional, demanding, stormy, fierce, carnal, given to rage. Does this sound familiar? Do you see this today? Romantic, vindictive, full of unbridled passion, insatiable sexual desire and had boundless pride. The name of the movement right? Boundless pride.

She was the goddess of prostitution and porn, a sorceress and the mother of erotica or eros. However, on an ancient Mesopotamian tablet it records the goddess saying these words.

“When I sit in the ale house, I am a woman and I am an exuberant young man”.

“Though I am a woman, I am a noble young man.”

This is what the goddess Asherah would say about herself. 

An ancient Summerian hymn says, “Her power was to turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man, to change one into the other.” This principality wanted to blur the boundaries of sex and gender.  I call it a principality because it is not just a demon, it is a principality and you know they reign over regions. 

Ephesians 6:12 says, 

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the dark powers of this world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” 

This is our enemy, and this is who we are fighting. So when we see these people who have been lied to by the enemy, they’re not the specific enemy; they’re a victim of the enemy. I think it’s really important that we understand that as a Church and as believers that our enemy is the principality, first and foremost. Okay, now we’re going to start talking about how we got here. This did not just happen. 

Enter Alfred Kinsey and the sexual revolution. So in 1947, Alfred Kinsey founded the Institute at Indiana University. He was a biologist, a professor of zoology and a sexologist. He used to study the sexual relationship of bugs and transferred what he learnt when he was learning about bugs and thought, “Well, that would be the same for humans, right?” Because he basically saw us in the same kind of way. In 1948, he released a book called Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male. This is a terrible, terrible book. You can actually buy it online. In 1953, he released Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female.

The sources of information from his book, (remembering that he released this book in 1948, not long after the end of the war and written when all the men were fighting in the war) reveal that the men he interviewed were from prison. You think about who was still around during the war. He was interviewing sexual deviants, people who were there for rape, incest and all sorts of things. That’s where he based his information for the average human male. Except, as noted before, that the average human male was off fighting in the war. 

In Indiana University there is a bronze statue of him. This was made in 2023. A bronze statue no less. Do you know what bronze signifies? Bronze in the Bible actually represents judgment. He’s actually had a movie made about him as well. Yes, they’ve created a whole movie dedicated to him for setting the homosexuals free, but they did not go into his paedophilia past. To get the childhood data for the book, Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male, he did studies on children. 

He gathered the information of pedophiles who used stopwatches to time the orgasms of pre-adolescent children. He has four charts of data in this book in which the youngest child was a five-month-old baby. Table 34. (graphic shown of table), has the age of the baby or the child. There’s a four-year-old who had 26 orgasms in 24 hours. Think about that for a minute. That makes me want to be sick. This man was a monster. Anybody who would print that for public information is a pedophile. This man is a pedophile. 

Kinsey suggested that children ought to be pleasure seekers and proclaimed that children are sexual from birth. In the WHO sexuality guidelines, the current ones, the ones you can go online and have a look at, it will tell you that babies have sexual feelings, behaviours and cognitions in the womb. How do they know this? Where is the evidence for that? They don’t have the evidence. Do they do an ultrasound of a baby while it is masturbating? No. They’ve just made this blanket statement that unborn babies are sexual in the womb and that is wrong.

I would stand in front of the WHO and refute it because it is a lie from the enemy. Babies are not sexual. They have sexual organs but they are not sexual beings yet. He stated that there should be no limits to any sexual activity, including between a child and an adult, which is rape. He stated that children need sexual experiences from the earliest age for good physical, psychological and mental health. 

Some of Kinsey‘s disciples are people you may be familiar with or have heard their names, are:

Hugh Hefner – who is the founder of the porn industry.
Harry Hay – who is the founder of the gay civil rights movement and a supporter of NAMBLA, which is the North American Man Boy Love Association. 
John Money – the founder of the transgender movement today. 
Alan Guttmacher – founder of Planned Parenthood’s Guttmacher Institute; an institute into research and policy into sexual and reproductive health, including abortion.

Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortion across the world. Kinsey was instrumental in revisions to sex offence sections of the law codes, so the modern penal code. He actually helped write that. So where they used to have, say, someone would get caught sexually abusing a child, they would get the death penalty or life in prison. He actually said, 

No, no, no, no, they should go to prison for a small amount of time and then be put on parole and we can rehabilitate them. It’s actually not common for a pedophile to be rehabilitated.

They changed a lot of sex offence laws under Kinsey‘s advice and his wisdom, his studies. He believed that there was a need for sexual education for children, and that only sexuality experts who had been properly trained could do it. I can vouch for this. A couple of years ago, we heard about the children at my rural primary school, ten-year-olds, who were told they could change their gender. They could have surgery, they could take medication, or they could be a cow or a dog if they wanted to be. 

There were four of us mums who went to the school and said, “Can we have a look at what you’re showing to the kids, like look at the curriculum?”

And they said,

“No.”

I asked,

“How come, how come you can’t show us?”

And they replied,

“Because you haven’t been trained.”

So this is where that rule comes from. Kinsey wanted specifically trained sexuality experts to train the children and no one else was allowed to teach them. And that is the rule today. If you are to go to your teacher or your principal, you will find the exact same experience. 

In 1964, the Kinsey Institute started the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, or SIECUS. SIECUS is an important name. SIECUS is a massive group who have influenced sexuality education across the world. SIECUS and Planned Parenthood began to put sexual education into all schools. In 1964, UNESCO was formed, the UN education branch. In 1967, Playboy began funding SIECUS. (If you want to know something about an organisation, you look at who’s funding them, right?) 

In 1969, the National Education Association, the American Medical Association, the National Council of Churches, and the American School Health Association called for sexuality training in children.

In 1971, the White House Conference on Youth endorsed universal sex education for primary and secondary schools. In the early 1990s, homosexuality and bisexuality were taught in schools. Today, children are taught about consent and sexual pleasure, how to get an abortion, how to explore any sexual identity they wish, bestiality, incest, and sex work. They are taught that their sexual desires define them. These are things that Angela and I have all seen. We go, you know, we look at books, videos, websites and games. We’ve got teacher resource lists. I’m telling you, the stuff we find on there makes us blush. If it’s making us blush, there’s no way, no way we should be showing it to our children.

In South Australia, two years ago, we had a case, I don’t know if you heard about this, where one of the country schools had a group of year nine girls and a third-party provider came in. No teacher was there. The third-party provider taught this group of 14-year-old girls about incest and bestiality with pictures. They showed them pictures of naked trans people’s bodies. Some of the girls ran to the toilets to hide, saying to each other,

“Why are they teaching us about having sex with animals?”

This is not made up. I know the mother of one of those girls, and they’re going to court. I pray that God moves on their behalf and they set a precedent because that is completely unacceptable. 

Ephesians 5:8-11 says, 

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” 

Psalm 1:1-2 says, 

“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night …whatever he does prospers.”

I know this is a lot of information and it is really dark, but if we focus on the Word, if we focus on the Lord and keep our eyes and our vision on Him, we will prosper and our children will prosper and we need to teach those things to our children. As Dave was saying, if you don’t have to send your children to public school, don’t. It’s absolutely in every single class. And if you can homeschool, I highly recommend it. I’m homeschooling my two youngest ones at the moment. Let’s choose to deliberately walk in the way of the Lord and not walk in the way of evil and to teach our children those things.
