Nebus vs Hironimus is a current legal case in South Florida where two parents have a long drawn fight over the genital integrity of their child. Vernon Quaintance is a circumcision promoter—connected to doctors and Wikipedia editors—who was arrested after caught with child porn. It is alleged that he also molested an 11yo boy. Quaintance is a Circumfetishist who experiences erotic stimulation by watching circumcisions, and trades videos and stories about it with others. The Gilgal Society, run by photographer Vernon Quaintance, publishes circ propaganda, fetish stories and other materials. They have doctors and researchers among their members. Gilgal is Hebrew for "hill of foreskins." To quote a Gilgal story, "if he wanted to, he could have a quiet wank whilst Neil was being circumcised." After Quaintance's conviction, the Gilgal society's website was taken down and rebranded as Circumcision Help Desk. Brian Morris is an Australian professor who's never heard a circumcision argument he didn't like. He's a member of the Gilgal Society, wants circ mandated by law, and uses scare tactics to frighten parents into cutting their children. Morris' website links to 8 circumfetish websites/groups, and 7 sites that sell circ devices. Jake Waskett is a member of Circlist who's made almost 14,000 edits at Wikipedia to show a pro-circumcision bias. He's known to lurk in parenting sites to convince expectant parents to circumcise. Waskett is not a doctor or medical professional of any kind. Waskett is a 34 year old computer software engineer in England.	ANNOUNCEMENT Dear CircLeaks Viewers, Thank you always for your devoted viewership and support of this wiki up until now. We have an important announcement regarding upcoming changes to this website. "CircLeaks" is becoming "CircWatch." When our developers envisioned "CircLeaks," they pictured a website where readers could find out about people, entities and organizations that support, advocate, profit from, or otherwise have to gain from the promotion of circumcision. They conceived of the name "CircLeaks" as a direct imitation of the name "WikiLeaks," a website dedicated to disseminating leaked information. CircLeaks developers have come to the conclusion, however, that the name "CircLeaks" is inappropriate, as it implies that, like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, we deal in leaking top secret, illegally obtained information. The purpose of our website is not to illegally obtain, and/or disclose secret information, but to keep a close watch on the actions of circumcision advocates, shakers and movers, and report information on them that is already publicly available. To reflect our purpose more accurately, we have decided to undergo the following changes: "CircLeaks" is changing it's name to "CircWatch." The new url is http://circwatch.org Instead of a Wiki database, CircWatch is becoming a blog which will publish articles as information is found out. The dossiers on this wiki database, and future dossiers on circumcision advocates or advocacy groups will be archived at the new intactivist database, intactwiki.org, from now on. The future and permanent home of CircWatch will be found at CircWatch.org. Currently, our editors are working on transferring the pages on this wiki to intactwiki.org. Links to the current dossiers' new homes will be left behind on this wiki as they are moved. Readers are encouraged to update their links as they become available. These changes are expected to be complete by the end of this year, after which this wiki at circleaks.org will be permanently taken down. Thank you all for your viewership and support, and we hope you will continue frequenting us in the future. CircLeaks Staff 4/17/2014

The World Health Organization is now endorsing male circumcision in South Africa. Circumcision research and campaigns are being funded by American money. Last year, President Obama signed PEPFAR, a program that will pay for adult & infant circumcisions. Other programs—like USAID and the NIH—are also funding circumcision campaigns in Africa. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funds mass circumcision campaigns. The Foundation contributes millions of dollars to nonprofit and for-profit media to help cover issues of interest to the foundation. Not just MSNBC, but also ABC, PBS, and Public Radio, as well as others. Stephen Lewis headed UNAIDS during their announcement to accept circumcision as a way to fight AIDS. Lewis is Jewish and has said that circumcision is "inspired preventative technology". Lewis is also a feminist and said he'd disown his own children if they disavowed feminism.
