Why Do Drunk Sluts Get Drunk?

Posted on | July 11, 2015 | 69 Comments

“Campus sexual assault is an all-hands-on-deck epidemic in America.”
— Rep. Nancy Pelosi, July 7, 2015

Pardon the deliberately provocative clickbait headline, but the campus “rape culture” discourse keeps avoiding this issue. There is an obvious connection between (a) claims that sexual assault is an “epidemic” among college and university students; (b) the phenomenon of binge drinking among students, most of whom are below the legal drinking age; and (c) the adamant insistence of feminists that it is “slut-shaming” and “victim blaming” to suggest how (a) and (b) are most likely related.

A blog post is probably not an appropriate forum to conduct a psychology seminar, but anyone familiar with the research knows how promiscuity correlates with low self-esteem, and how alcohol abuse correlates with depression. It is not necessary to consult the work of academic experts, however, to know that drunks commonly wake up with hangovers and feelings of profound remorse for the irresponsible behavior they engaged in during their night of extreme inebriation.

“The plural of ‘anecdote’ is data,” as they say. There is a negative feedback loop of low self-esteem, drunkenness, impulsive behavior, shame and depression involved in the typical downward spiral of the alcoholic’s life. Getting the drunk to sober up and stay sober is usually just the beginning of recovery, because there are always unresolved emotional issues related to this pattern of irresponsible behavior.

What does it tell us, then, when we repeatedly see stories about alleged “sexual assault” which, when subjected to close scrutiny, turn out to be variations on the same familiar tale of youthful misadventure? Two drunk teenagers hooked up, then the female drunk teenager claimed (often months after the incident) that she was raped by the male drunk teenager? This is actually becoming part of the “consent” message:

Jake was drunk. Josie was drunk.
Jake and Josie hooked up.
Josie could NOT consent.
The next day Jake was charged with rape.
A woman who is intoxicated cannot give her legal consent to sex, so proceeding under these circumstances is a crime.
It only takes a single day to ruin your life.
Think about it! Be responsible.

Are you kidding me? While we may say it is always “irresponsible” to get drunk and have sex, this is something college kids do quite routinely. When two people are both in “these circumstances,” how can anyone fairly assert that the male is guilty of a felony, while a drunken hookup makes the female a helpless victim? How does such a claim — that males bear 100% responsibility in heterosexual encounters, and that females never bear any responsibility — comport with the idea that feminism is about men and women being equal? Am I the only one who sees how “social justice” in this context becomes the exact opposite of justice?

[University of Minnesota student body president Joelle] Stangler describes yes means yes policies as “common practice.” But these policies are anything but common practice. People don’t have sex by asking “May I kiss you?” “May I touch you here?” etc. . . .
Really, anything the accuser decides later they didn’t like can become grounds for an accusation. And if the accuser was drinking, consent is automatically negated, even if the accused had been drinking as well (and would presumably therefore be unable to consent). The policy shifts the burden of proof onto the accused, meaning they have to prove a crime didn’t happen, which, short of a video recording, is impossible in a he said/she said situation.

Under “these circumstances” — where radical feminists are demanding the implementation of policies that have the effect of criminalizing heterosexuality on campus and denying male students their basic civil rights — every college boy who hooks up with a college girl should be advised to seek psychiatric treatment immediately, because any guy who has sex on campus in 2015 must obviously be crazy.

Any attempt to discuss the “affirmative consent” agenda, especially in the context of due-process rights and the climate of anti-male hysteria feminists have created on campus, results in skeptics being branded “rape apologists.” Shrugging off this slander is easy enough for an adult — what do I care what a left-wing Minnesota college kid thinks of me? — but what we must take seriously is how this rhetoric functions as a terroristic intimidation tactic that silences dissent on campus. Ms. Stangler’s student government produced a 20-page report entitled “Guys Don’t Get Consent” (PDF) which made no mention of false accusations and said nothing at all about the psychological factors involved in binge drinking and sexual promiscuity among college-age females. Instead, the UM report blamed “masculinity” and asserted (based on a survey of about 60 male students and focus groups with 18 of those) that male students at the university are all clueless creeps:

“Telling guys to ‘stop at no’ is useless. They already know that no means no. What they don’t know is that not-yes also means no. The idea of affirmative consent is foreign.”

Feminist crusaders like Ms. Stangler seem to believe new laws and mandatory lectures about “affirmative consent” are the solution, but parents of male college students can implement a far more effective solution: Tell your sons to avoid female students, period.

When your sons return to campus this fall, they will enter a climate where all male students are viewed as rape suspects, where new federal policies encourage rape accusations, where accusations are treated as tantamount to proof of guilt, and where university officials are under heavy pressure from the Obama administration to increase the number of punitive procedures against male students. Any heterosexual activity on campus poses a grave risk for male students in this climate of frenzied hysteria, where feminists are hunting for rapists with more fanatical zeal than 17th-century Puritans hunted witches in Salem.

Responsible parents must sternly warn their sons going off to college not only to avoid sex with female students, but also never to speak to any woman on campus. The feminist campaign against masculinity, as evidenced in the University of Minnesota report, will have the effect of producing accusations of “harassment” against male students who attempt to flirt with female students, or who say or do anything that any female student may find offensive.

What do feminists find offensive? Men having sex with women.

“That consent rather than nonmutuality is the line between rape and intercourse further exposes the inequality in normal social expectations. . . . If sex is ordinarily accepted as something men do to women, the better question would be whether consent is a meaningful concept. . . .
“Sexuality, then, is a form of power. . . Women and men are divided by gender, made into the sexes as we know them, by the social requirements of heterosexuality, which institutionalizes male sexual dominance and female sexual submission.”
— Catharine MacKinnon, “Feminism, Marxism, Method, and the State: An Agenda for Theory” (1982)

The Feminist-Industrial Complex of Women’s Studies programs on the 21st-century campus teaches female students to hate and fear men. Before parents send a son off to college, they should advise him to expect that he will be viewed with contempt and suspicion by every female on campus. No matter how handsome he is or how popular he was in high school, your son would be a fool to presume that any female college student might ever find him attractive. Your son’s confidence in his judgment, based on his previous romantic successes, could be the hubris that precedes nemesis in so many campus tragedies.

If anyone thinks I am exaggerating the dangers facing male college students, let them consider what happened to Paul Nungesser, what happened to Daniel Kopin, and what happened to Joshua Strange. Or consider the cases discussed by Professor K.C. Johnson at Minding the Campus. Over and over, we have seen these stories of male students who had no idea that they had encountered nemesis in the form of a female student whose emotional problems would result in accusations of sexual assault. Nor did these male students realize that such an accusation — often many weeks or months after the incident — would put them into the Kafkaesque nightmare of campus disciplinary tribunals where an accused student has none of the civil rights afforded to any common criminal in a court of law. Feminists have a cynical contempt for truth and no regard at all for the rights of innocent men destroyed by such false accusations. This dishonest campaign of deliberate cruelty is making more and more males casualties “in the Obama administration’s war on men,” as James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal said.

Promiscuity is rampant among female college students, many of whom are infected with sexually transmitted diseases. Wesleyan University’s Ella Dawson is infected with herpes, which is incurable, and a footnote on page 7 of Paul Nungesser’s lawsuit mentions that his accuser Emma Sulkowicz was reportedly treated for chlamydia. “According to Stanford University’s Sexual Health Peer Resource Center, 1 in 4 college students have an STD,” Dr. Laura Berman reports, and parents must warn their sons against this danger. Even if he were willing to accept such a grave risk to his health, however, the male student must be warned that many females on campus are psychologically disturbed.

Joelle Stengler reports that 25 percent of University of Minnesota students have mental health problems, and college-age women are particularly prone to these disorders. The student newspaper at the University of Michigan profiled a mentally ill female student they called “Maria” who has been twice arrested for assaulting police officers while in drunken blackouts. Maria is being treated with four different drugs:

The Klonopin treats her anxiety. The Lomictal and Seroquel act as mood stabilizers. The Vyvanse helps her focus. . . .
Over the last decade, it has become more and more common for college-aged women to be on the types of medication that Maria takes. The chance of a major depressive episode in 18 to 29-year-olds is three times higher than in individuals 60 years or older, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Most of these episodes occur in females. A quarter of American women take a drug for a mental health disorder, compared to 15 percent of men. The ratio of women to men on anti-anxiety meds is 2 to 1.

Whereas emotionally unbalanced young women were once institutionalized in psychiatric wards, now they are on university campuses and, like Maria at Michigan, many mentally ill female students “self-medicate” with alcohol. How can any male student know whether the girl he hooks up with at a college party — drinking, dancing, seemingly eager to be his sexual partner — is among the 1-in-4 with mental health problems? Wouldn’t he be safer if he operated with the assumption that every girl at the party is a psychiatric basket case, a deranged crazy-bomb just waiting to explode?

Are We Hiring Someone So Challenged As To Require A “Business Suit Onesie”?

Posted on | July 11, 2015 | 42 Comments

by Smitty

Mrs. Other Smitty brought this to my attention. As a generally slack-tacular kinda guy, I can follow the logic involved in this. Anything you can do to streamline a process, e.g. dressing, is worth doing. Note the shopping avoidance on display: you buy the one thing, and you’re done.
Two complications come to mind:

  • You need to make minor adjustments, e.g. doffing a jacket, to fit the office climate, and
  • You want to mix things up a bit, to get more wear out of the upper portion. Typically the trousers reach end-of-life ahead of the shirt or jacket.

Above all these practical considerations, there is this: you’re going home. There is a 1 year-old awaiting you. That one year-old is also wearing a onesie. WHAT. WERE. YOU. THINKING?

You weren’t. Let this blog help you. When someone tries to resurrect the jumpsuit, JUST. SAY. NO.

Feminist Tumblr: It’s Not As If They Hate Men or Anything Like That

Posted on | July 10, 2015 | 65 Comments

The fascinating thing about Feminist Tumblr is that it’s totally unfiltered. Nearly all of the participants are very young — a 25-year-old is a senior citizen on Tumblr — and also anonymous. There’s no adult supervision (your mother is not on Tumblr) and inside this feminist echo chamber, everything inside their zany brains comes pouring out. There is a constant competition on Feminist Tumblr to say the most demeaning things possible about males. Of course, no feminist ever says anything good about males, but the anti-male venom of Feminist Tumblr gives it a special edge.

“it’s so weird that women are seen as emotional and melodramatic when all the men i know are the most unbelievably melodramatic people on earth and also every time i express an emotion as a woman i feel guilty and apologize profusely but I’ve literally never once heard a man apologize for expressing an emotion even though they throw literal temper tantrums all the time”

This is the exact opposite of the usual feminist complaint about men who, allegedly, are emotionally stunted and incapable of anything like the intuitive and sympathetic feelings over which feminists claim women have a monopoly. However, you see here the damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t aspect of feminism. Everything that men do is wrong, and so men who do show emotion are condemned as “the most unbelievably melodramatic people on earth” in a post that got more than 6,000 notes in a month.

Who is the author of this screed? Hannah Beth, a 20-year-old Florida State University student who is “majoring in literature and double minoring in art history/german” and also “queer as hell.” When she’s not busy denouncing males for their emotional melodrama, Hannah Beth has some emotions of her own:

I feel like books are a giant blanket I am wrapping myself up in. every morning lately when I wake up the first thought I have is about whatever I was reading before I went to sleep. it’s good to be corny about books on the internet I think. it’s good to have something I love this much. anyway, I felt really anxious all day today and had one of those Bad Days For No Reason and I cried a little bit in my car and I was scared to sleep alone but now I am curled up at 1am with my tiny book and I feel like it is the most reassuring hug on earth, like 100 angels whispering “it’s okay and it’s always been okay and it always will be” which is true and very good to hear from the universe. I wanna write a love letter to literature tbh.

So, yeah, guys “throw literal temper tantrums,” and meanwhile Hannah Beth is crying in her car and scared to sleep alone.

Tumblr Feminists cry alone a lot, when they’re not busy plotting worldwide revolution, like 21-year-old Athena, a “Gemini bitch” from Sweden who describes herself as “stone cold lesbian, post-structuralist radical feminist, marxist communist” and also a bunny owner & advocate for proper animal care. So she loves bunnies, but hates men and capitalism, not necessarily in that order.

“I’m not interested in dedicating my feminist effort to making masculinity more comfortable for men, I could not care less; they created it, they uphold it, so they fix it. I’m not gonna wade through their toxic waste to try to awaken some core of softness and compassion in men. If men are supposedly as good at analysis and reflection as they like to claim then they can fix their own shit. Demanding that women use up our effort to do it for them in the name of feminism – a women’s movement – is just another facet of the same masculinity they supposedly disapprove of.”

We got your message, loud and clear. Got nearly 9,000 notes in three month for that. Cute selfies for a lesbian Marxist, though.

So “queer as hell” or “stone cold lesbian” — kind of a theme becomes apparent here. There may even be a pattern on Feminist Tumblr. Then there’s 24-year-old Jam, “bisexual and aromantic,” who is “half Jamaican half Finnish, first generation Canadian” and also — surprise! — has complaints about men:

“one part of the male gender role I can’t stand is thinking that being irritating and pissing women off is funny????
every man I’ve met thinks that’s hilarious and
gets mad when I’m not into it. like why did
no one teach them to shut the fuck up”

That got over 160,000 notes in five months, because Tumblr Feminists share a profound contempt for “the male gender role.”

Oh, and Jam also posts a lot of selfies. You might like her, if you’re into pierced noses and tattoos and know how to “shut the fuck up.”

Speaking of which, Kethrellan, 19, is studying Music Education and Voice at the University of Delaware and — thanks to a questionnaire she filled out — we know that she’s 5-foot-7, lost her virginity before she was 18, has never been in a serious relationship and is, of course, bisexual.

Question: Is bisexuality as common in real life as it is on Feminist Tumblr? Or is there just reflecting a trend among fashionable young people to identify as Something Other Than Normal? Then I remember — Feminism Is Queer!

 

The title of that 2010 textbook by a Women’s Studies professor summarizes the basic message of feminism in the 21st century.

Whatever she does, the Third Wave feminist cannot be normal, because being normal is oppressive. This came to mind particularly with Kethrellan because I was looking at her selfies — because posting selfies is why they invented the Internet, right? — and thinking “never been in a serious relationship”? Long curly hair, nice smile, wide-set eyes — not a Barbie doll-type beauty, but more like a pre-Raphaelite painting. Rosetti or Millais would have loved her, and yet Kethrellan has “never been in a serious relationship”? Maybe the Tumblr Feminists have got a point. Maybe young guys nowadays are just a bunch of clueless clowns. Maybe they lack a proper appreciation of beauty. And maybe that’s why Kethrellan wrote this on her Tumblr blog:

“overhearing straight boys talk about girls is so terrifying”

Seriously, what’s wrong with these guys? Did their mamas not raise them right? Were they dumped off in daycare when they were babies? Did they grow up without two loving parents? We they shuttled back and forth between their divorced parents or abused by stepparents? How is it that so many of these young men seem to be uncouth savages or feral beasts with no respect for women? It’s almost as if civilization is being destroyed, perhaps by a War Against Human Nature.

Somebody ought to write a book about this or something.

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

Granpda had a vision of his last look at the city. The hugest moon he’d ever seen, obscured by unnatural clouds. Bombers. A distant enemy had visited. A murder of ravens deployed from a lonely tree for the sudden necropolis.
That had been decades ago. The country hadn’t recovered from electing foolish leaders that brought ruin.

Grandpa dimly recalled references to a time when the people weren’t cowering in fear and scavenging like the ravens.

Time passed. People ceased to blame others. Instead, they looked within for strength. The ravens awaited the cycle.

Sorry, @AsheSchow: ‘Due Process’ IS a Left-Right Issue — and Here’s Why

Posted on | July 10, 2015 | 59 Comments

Ashe Schow is a brilliant young journalist, and one of the few reporters who have been steadily covering the attempt by feminists to criminalize heterosexuality on college campuses. The feminist agenda is so insane and extreme, that when I try to explain what is being taught in university Women’s Studies programs — the academic Feminist-Industrial Complex — most people quite literally cannot believe it. (See “Feminists Against Heterosexuality” and “Introduction to Feminist Theory” among other recent entries in the Sex Trouble series.) Yet each day brings further confirmation. There is a deliberate campaign to incentivize rape accusations at America’s colleges and universities by requiring mandatory “training” at orientation that will have the effect of terrorizing male students into avoiding all contact with females on campus.

University administrators are under intense pressure from federal authorities to punish male students, to produce statistical evidence that they are implementing the crackdown demanded by feminists. This will lead to a zero-tolerance approach in which every male-female encounter on campus is fraught with risk. Any male student who so much as speaks to a woman could be accused of harassment. Officials are actually bragging about their “success” in encouraging rape accusations, which increased 400 percent in a single year at the University of Wisconsin.

Ashe Schow explains how the rights of the accused are systematically violated under the policies mandated by federal bureaucrats:

When a student is accused of sexual assault on a college campus, they’re often given vague descriptions of the charge against them — which may have occurred years earlier. They’re forced to come up with a defense within days, told not to talk to anyone about the allegation (making mounting a defense nearly impossible) and not allowed to have an attorney speak on their behalf.
They face a system that has been shifted against them, where an accusation is all that’s needed to brand them a rapist for life and kick them out of school. There is no due process in campus hearings — no rules of evidence, cross-examination or right to be represented by an attorney. They’re not even told that anything said in the hearing can and will be used against them in a court of law.

Feminists demanded these policies, the Obama administration implemented these policies, and Hillary Clinton is planning a campaign for president in which any Republican who criticizes these policies will be accused of being “pro-rape.” This is a Feminist/Democrat/Media convergence we have seen before, during the Clarence Thomas hearings, again during the Lewinsky scandal (when feminists put on their “presidential knee pads” to defend Bill Clinton) and in 2012, when the “War on Women” meme helped Obama get re-elected with the largest “gender gap” in Gallup poll history. The non-existent “campus rape epidemic” — a vicious lie created with Statistical Voodoo and Elastic Definitions — is a crucial element in a shameless partisan political operation intended to elect Hillary Clinton to the White House.

Yet for some reason, Ashe Schow wants to pretend otherwise:

Due process for campus sexual
assault is not a left/right issue
Sexual assault is a serious issue that should be dealt with seriously. But the proposed solution for this problem on college campuses creates an entirely new problem. It eviscerates due process for accused students in the name of helping accusers.
The fight over campus sexual assault and due process has somehow devolved into a Republican vs. Democrat issue. The most vocal supporters of draconian sexual assault policies are Democrats like Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Claire McCaskill of Missouri. There are several prominent Republicans on a Senate bill to curb sexual assault, but none have made a name for themselves as a proponent.
Meanwhile, the print and online commentary voices defending due process rights for the accused have been mostly right-leaning. The only television voice on the issue of due process has been Fox News.
There have been exceptions to this, but unfortunately, the issue has become a way for political opponents to score points against each other. Those who favor due process are accused by liberals of being “rape apologists,” while those who favor the accusers are excoriated by right-leaning media.
That sentiment has muddied the issue. Due process used to be deeply important to liberals. Toughness on crime was more commonly associated with Republicans. Now the tables have turned and it makes no sense.
Due process should concern everyone. So should sexual assault. . . .
It shouldn’t be up to Republicans to stand up for due process or up to Democrats to stand up for victims. Both sides should be working toward the truth in each case.

You can read the whole thing. The problem is that to speak of what should be — to advocate an ideal — is a waste of time in the current environment where Democrats have manufactured a phony issue and are exploiting it for partisan gains. Democrats have created this issue and their allies in academia and the media are coordinating with Democrats to control the “rape culture” narrative in order to get more votes for Democrats. It is that simple, and anyone who supports Democrats is therefore supporting the policies that have stripped male students of due process rights. Ashe Schow writes:

In today’s climate, it is impossible to stand up for someone wrongly accused without being attacked. Once someone is labeled a “rapist” — even without evidence — he apparently forfeits his right to exist and must be expelled and have his life and future ruined.

Ruining the lives of male students is the primary goal of feminists, but the wrongly accused male students are just collateral damage to Democrats, for whom Hillary Clinton’s election is the larger objective.

To speak of “truth” to these people is both futile and misleading.

They don’t care about truth. They only care about power.

If you care about truth, if you care about the real lives of real human beings, you cannot be a feminist, nor can you be a Democrat, and it’s time we stop trying to sugar-coat that reality. We must stop pretending that such mythical creatures as “honest Democrats” and “moderate feminists” actually exist in the real world. Believing in “honest Democrats” is like believing in the Tooth Fairy and “moderate feminism” is either an oxymoron or a pointless nostalgia. Even if we were to stipulate that “moderate feminists” once existed (which I don’t), they were a phenomenon of a bygone era who have no relevance in the 21st century when, for example, the Feminist Majority Foundation employs a self-described “raging lesbian feminist” as its communications director and when Women’s Studies professors denounce Disney cartoons as being “heteronormative.” One could assemble a convention of every “honest Democrat” and “moderate feminist” in America and maybe they would fill a corner booth at Denny’s. Maybe.

Democrats have chosen the college campus as their battleground and have chosen “rape culture” as an issue because Democrats know that America’s institutions of higher education are staffed almost entirely by Democrats. Thus controlling the terrain on which they intend to fight this political battle, Democrats know they can rely on university officials to assist them, in the same way Democrats rely on the liberal media to promote their dishonest propaganda. (Need I remind you how Sabrina Rubin Erdley, Emily Renda and Catherine Lhamon collaborated in Rolling Stone‘s UVA rape hoax?) We cannot defeat these liars if we are afraid to tell the truth about who they are, what they do and why they do it. Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It, and Democrats are the Party of Evil Liars and Fools.

The truth is not always a pleasant thing to hear, nor should anyone expect to become popular by speaking the truth in an age where deceit, perversion and hypocrisy have become so prevalent. I would like to think there are at least some female college students who are honest and responsible adults, but no male college student can be safe in that assumption. Paul Nungesser thought Emma Sulkowicz was his friend, and she was only too willing to encourage him in that belief, so long as she harbored the illusion that she could make him fall in love with her. Once that illusion was dispelled — once Sulkowicz realized that her “friends-with-benefits” hookups with Nungesser were emotionally meaningless to him — her love turned to hate, and hate inspired a plan for revenge, a conspiracy in which other feminists at Columbia University were quite willing to participate. Nungesser was blindsided by Sulkowicz’s false accusation. “My mother raised me as a feminist,” he told the New York Times, a fact his mother verified in an interview with Cathy Young of the Daily Beast. Yet the kind of “equality” Nungesser believed in — where a young adult woman can have casual sex with a male friend and expect nothing more — proved to be a cruel deception. Promiscuous women are often emotionally unstable, their low self-esteem expressed in a desperate search for male approval. The same needy impulses that inspire this sexual depravity, however, can also be manifested as a generalized rage toward men (yes, all men) whom the psychologically damaged woman blames for her own feelings of worthlessness.

“In my clinical work, I find that a promiscuous individual suffers from low self-esteem and feels that sex is a way to get attention and to feel noticed.”
— Dr. Seth Myers

“A person with a borderline personality disorder often experiences a repetitive pattern of disorganization and instability in self-image, mood, behavior and close personal relationships. . . . The person may manipulate others and often has difficulty with trusting others. There is also emotional instability with marked and frequent shifts to an empty lonely depression or to irritability and anxiety.”
— Richard J. Corelli, M.D.

Why should a woman like Emma Sulkowicz be just another “pump-and-dump” — used and discarded — when by claiming to be a victim of rape, she can be celebrated as a heroic “survivor”? Feminists praise her “courage” and, in doing so, have made Emma Sulkowicz a role model whom they encourage others to emulate. We can therefore expect a proliferation of copycats, and any male student who thinks he can safely engage in heterosexual behavior on campus is at risk of a brutal shock when he finds himself accused of “harassment” or “sexual assault.” Even when the female student initiates a relationship and actively pursues sex with a male student — as was evidently the case with Emma Sulkowicz — she may subsequently decide that she has been a victim, and the male who is falsely accused of rape will discover he has no due process rights in the campus disciplinary procedures mandated by federal authorities.

Contrary to what anyone might say, this is a Left-Right issue, because this phony crisis was deliberately created by the Left in order to advance the feminist agenda and elect Democrats. We must tell the truth, no matter what penalty we pay for telling the truth. Whatever we may lose for the sake of truth, no good can be gained by cooperating with liars.

“Truth is great, and will prevail if left to herself. … [Truth] is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.”
— Thomas Jefferson, “Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom,” 1786

My SWATting: Perpetrator Reaches Plea Agreement in Federal Felony Case UPDATE: Investigation Is Continuing

Posted on | July 9, 2015 | 80 Comments

A letter arrived by Federal Express today from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Washington D.C.:

Dear Mr. McCain:
We have learned that you are a victim of criminal activity involving conduct known as “swatting.” . . .
A federal investigation has revealed that several individuals participated in a scheme to commit swatting in the course of which these individuals committed various federal criminal offenses. You were a victim of criminal conduct which resulted in swattings in that you were swatted.
A federal investigation has reveal that several individuals participated in a scheme to commit doxing, in the course of which, these individuals committed various federal criminal offenses. Personal identifying information associated with you was posted on the website used by these individuals.
One of the individuals who participated in this scheme to commit doxing has been charged with the commission of a federal offense related to that activity. . . . This individual has agreed to accept responsibility for the commission of this offense and will be entering a guilty plea in Federal Court in Washington, D.C.
This letter is intended to notify you that you are a victim and that, as a victim, you have certain rights pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3771. . .

Readers of this blog never previously knew that I was SWATted, because I never mentioned this incident. Nor have I described here the numerous ways in which I have been harassed — costing me thousands of dollars in lost revenue and harm to my personal and professional reputation — because I made up my mind to tell the truth about certain people who didn’t want the truth to be known.

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!




 

P.S.: Don’t jump to conclusions. I don’t know how (or even if) this SWATting is connected to the general pattern of harassment I have experienced since May 2012, and this incident occurred after I had moved from my former Maryland residence. Until I can get more information and provide it to readers, I ask that commenters refrain from speculation about who was involved in this federal crime, or what their motive might have been to target me. Speaking personally, however, I don’t believe in coincidences. — RSM

UPDATE (1:30 p.m. EDT): Just spoke to an official who explained that (a) the indictment is “under seal”; (b) the perpetrator who has reached a plea agreement cannot be named; and (c) the investigation is continuing. From this we may surmise, based upon knowledge of similar cases, that the perpetrator has made a full confession and is cooperating with the continuing investigation of his or her co-conspirators.

By the time the full scope of this conspiracy becomes public, it is likely that we we learn a great deal about the methods by which these criminals operate. Let it be known that the feds are getting serious about prosecuting “SWATting,” and the associated activity of “doxing.” Let justice be done. Let the guilty fear punishment for their crimes, so that the innocent need never fear. — RSM
