Birthday Week And The Admiral Of The Ocean Sea

Posted on | October 9, 2014 | 29 Comments

— Wombat-socho


This week all three of us that run this here blog celebrate our birthdays, and in fact today’s my 55th birthday. As Mickey Mantle once said, “If I’d known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” All that aside, since I can’t afford to buy everyone a beer in celebration, I did the next best thing and knocked the price of my book, The Last Falangist, down to 99 cents for the weekend, including Columbus Day, about which more momentarily. I would have given it away for free today, but apparently it costs little enough already that Amazon won’t let me do that.


On a related topic, the deranged Anglo racists of Seattle have replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This insults not only Italian-Americans, who have long claimed the Admiral of the Ocean Sea as a hero on account of his Genoese origins, but Latinos such as myself who realize that without him, everybody south of the Rio Grande would be speaking Portuguese, or even worse, Gaelic. Lies about Christopher Columbus abound, and since the best way to fight lies is with truth, I summon to the field of battle the eminent naval historian and retired admiral Samuel Eliot Morison, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning Admiral of the Ocean Sea is an honest look at the life and career of the great mariner who opened America to European colonization. A shorter version (the Reader’s Digest edition, if you will) is his Christopher Columbus, Mariner. Finally, if you want to go right to the source, there is Journals and Other Documents on the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus, translated and edited by Morison. Columbus may not have been a stainless hero (who is?) but he deserves better than the lies peddled by Howard Zinn and other revisionist scumballs.


The Last Falangist – 99 Cents Through Monday!

Gender Theory Hits K-12 Schools

Posted on | October 9, 2014 | 109 Comments

When I describe radical feminism as taught in university Women’s Studies programs, one typical reaction is, “So what? That’s just a bunch of academics. Besides, wait until those idiots get their Women’s Studies degrees. Where are they gonna get a job?”

Maybe your child’s school. Katherine Timpf reports at National Review:

A Nebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stop referring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls,” and use “gender inclusive” ones such as “purple penguins” instead.
“Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” instructs a training document given to middle-school teachers at the Lincoln Public Schools.
“Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet on the rug,” it advises.
The document also warns against asking students to “line up as boys or girls,” and suggests asking them to line up by whether they prefer “skateboards or bikes/milk or juice/dogs or cats/summer or winter/talking or listening.”
“Always ask yourself . . . ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” the document says.
The instructions were part of a list called “12 steps on the way to gender inclusiveness” developed by Gender Spectrum, an organization that “provides education, training and support to help create a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages.”

Read the whole thing. You might also want to read the Gender Spectrum guidelines. Readers will perhaps not be surprised to learn that Gender Spectrum founder Stephanie Brill is author of The Queer Parent’s Primer and The New Essential Guide to Lesbian Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth, and co-author of The Transgender Child: A Handbook for Families and Professionals. In a 2010 interview, Brill said: “As a part of the butch/trans community, my social and professional world is very gender diverse.” So at least she practices what she preaches, eh?

The point is that this kind of radicalism can’t be contained to college campuses. Inevitably, the feminists who learn “gender theory” in Women’s Studies programs will want to implement those theories throughout society, including your local public schools — even in Nebraska! As I have previously explained (“Radical Lesbian Feminism: Coming Soon to a Public School Classroom Near You?”), the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is pushing to introduce “gender studies” to the high school curriculum, “creating innovative spaces for young people to engage in feminism and activism, equity, and social justice in today’s classrooms.” The AAUW symposium on this program featured lesbian teacher Ileana Jimenez.

The hashtag #IDG2014 is for “International Day of the Girl” and, when you see radical feminists declaring how “committed to culture change” they are, doesn’t this make you just slightly curious as to what direction they intend to change culture?

Mr. Podhoretz, You’ve Got The Pieces

Posted on | October 8, 2014 | 31 Comments

by Smitty

Let me help you re-arrange them.

So why aren’t Republicans sitting pretty?
The answer, I think, is far more technical than ideological. Democrats are vastly superior when it comes to the mechanics of American politics, and have been for nearly a decade, while the GOP’s technical skills have withered since 2004.

Allow me to drag you up to your second paragraph:

c) more Americans say it’s time to replace their own representatives than ever before in modern history.

You’d think that ‘replace’ might imply ‘something else’. The base really, really needs a kiss after the primary shenanigans this year. And the feeling that the IRS Tea Party targeting really didn’t raise much actual ire with the GOP elite. And the expected 88 miles of rectal sunshine in 2016 that Absolutely No Conservative Whose Name Does Not Rhyme with ‘Tush’ Can Possibly Stop Her Majesty.

So if you’re wondering why conservatives can’t muster enthusiasm to phone it in for statism, try and experiment and run some non-statist tools on an actual reform agenda. All those enthusiast crowds in 2009 who kinda tidied the joint? They’ll return in a jiffy. For an actual reform party.

This tired pack of Progressive degenerates would seem more honest if they just admitted they’re ideologically closer to Democrat than conservative.

What’s Up at Bryn Mawr?

Posted on | October 8, 2014 | 45 Comments

Brenna Levitin (@brennalevitin) is a junior at Bryn Mawr College (annual tuition $45,540), an elite women’s college in Philadelphia with an undergraduate enrollment of fewer than 1,500 students. Ms. Levitin describes herself as a “radical feminist” and has been working on a very special project at Bryn Mawr:

Since May, Brenna Levitin, the Greenfield Digital Center’s TriCo DH summer intern, has been hard at work tracking down the histories of LGBT individuals and communities at Bryn Mawr between 1970-2000. . . .
Although much of the past four months has been spent sighing over a lack of LGBT archival material, I recently had a great realization which partially solved the mystery of the disappearance of Bryn Mawr’s BGALA Center Library. I first heard about this mystery from Robin Bernstein, Class of 1991, the creator of the library and its first keeper. She told me about how she painstakingly shaped it over three years, only to have it disappear a few years after she graduated. She mourned the multi-hundred-volume library for years, until, to our excitement, I physically ran into the collection in Canaday Library a few weeks ago! . . .
In her sophomore year, Robin Bernstein asked the Bryn Mawr Women’s Center to use their empty back room as a physical space for BGALA (The Bryn Mawr-Haverford Bisexual, Gay, and Lesbian Alliance). After the students in charge agreed, Bernstein began to create a physical space for the club within the Women’s Center, located on the upper floor of the Campus Center. . . .
Bernstein lovingly curated the library for the next three years, watching as it grew with each year’s funds. By the end of her senior year, the library contained over 1,000 books, audiotapes, and magazines. The summer after Bernstein’s graduation in 1991, the books were removed from the BGALA Center and relocated to a room in the Denbigh dormitory. . . .
After approximately 1993, institutional memory fails to recall where the books lived. In fact, Bernstein and I believed the books to still be missing when I found them, by chance, living in Canaday Library as an official collection. . . .
The next time that anyone saw the BGALA books was in 2003, when members of the Rainbow Alliance came to then-Coordinator for Information Acquisition and Delivery, Berry Chamness, in Canaday to ask for help. The Rainbow Alliance (the new name for BGALA) was losing the space where they stored the library, and wondered what to do to save the books and keep them accessible. Since Fall 2004, what is now known as the Rainbow Alliance/Women’s Center Collection has lived as a discreet collection in Canaday Library . . .

You can read the whole thing. This story came to my attention as part of my research into radical feminism for the “Sex Trouble” series, when I decided to do a search on Twitter:

Which led me to Bryn Mawr alumna Monica Mercado:

It turns out that Ms. Mercado, having completed her Ph.D. in history at the University of Chicago (dissertation, “Women and the Word: Gender, Print, and Catholic Identity in Nineteenth-Century America”), has obtained a postdoctoral fellowship and become Director of The Albert M. Greenfield Digital Center for the History of Women’s Education at Bryn Mawr. Ms. Mercado’s blogging at their “Educating Women” site in turn led me to the radical feminist student Brenna Levitin, who is researching the archives for “histories of LGBT individuals and communities at Bryn Mawr.”

Among these “individuals” is the alumna Robin Bernstein, who created the gay club’s library collection at Bryn Mawr. She’s now Doctor Bernstein, having gotten her Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale University in 2004, and hired on at Harvard:

Assistant Director of Studies/Lecturer, Committee on Degrees in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Harvard University, September 2004-June 2006
Assistant Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality and of History and Literature, Harvard University, July 2006-December 2010
Associate Professor of African and African American Studies and of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Harvard University, January 2011-June 2013
Professor of African and African American Studies and of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Harvard University, July 2013-present

Of course, this began because I was curious to see how Twitter reflected the influence of Adrienne Rich, whose landmark 1980 essay “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence” fostered the now-commonplace feminist theory that heterosexuality, far from being women’s natural attraction to men, is actually a form of oppression imposed on women by the patriarchy.

“If you consider sexual desire and romantic love between men and women to be natural and healthy, you are not a feminist. . . . There is nothing natural about sex, according to feminist ideology, no biological urge that causes women to be attracted to men.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, April 10

The male-supremacist oppression of “compulsory heterosexuality” evidently has no effect at elite schools like Bryn Mawr, where lesbianism is certainly en vogue if not yet de rigueur.

The college was founded by a Quaker physician, Dr. Joseph Taylor, who in 1879 spent more than $50,000 of his own money (a huge sum at the time) to purchase the land that became Bryn Mawr’s campus. The first president of Bryn Mawr college was also male, James Rhodes. Whatever debt Bryn Mawr owes to the patriarchy is apparently forgotten in the school’s current radical feminist incarnation. However, it seems, some students are staging a rebellion:

Concerns about tolerance, diversity and respect for differing viewpoints led an angry mob of students at Bryn Mawr College to protest the display of a Confederate flag and demand that the students who displayed it be forcibly evicted from their dorm room. . . .
It started in early September when two seniors hung a Confederate flag in their residence hall — apparently in a common area. They also bound some tape to the floor and labeled the tape a “Mason-Dixon line.”
The students . . . said they chose the imagery to express their Southern pride.

Uh-oh. Who knows where this could lead? Of course, as every feminist knows, heteronormative patriarchy is the ultimate slavery, which means that 97% of women are its helpless victims.

Headlines on the Road to Hell

Posted on | October 8, 2014 | 35 Comments

Brian Hawkins, 44, was a teacher and coach at Scecina High School in Indiana. Last month, police began investigating him. On Sept. 23, shortly after police searched his home, Hawkins died when his car rammed head-on into a bridge abutment:

Indiana State Police detectives are still sorting through evidence recovered from the home of a deceased Scecina High School teacher and coach.
ISP executed a search warrant at Brian Hawkins’ home shortly before his death on Sept. 23. . . .
Despite his death, detectives said they will continue their investigation into allegations of voyeurism.
Police found more than 70 DVDs and nearly 50 VHS tapes inside Hawkins’ home. They recovered a black Sony Handycam, digital camera and DVD recorder, along with various digital storage media. They found micro SD cards, X-D picture cards and mini DV cassettes. Other items seized by police included handwritten notes and five cell phones.
Records show the State Police investigation began on Sept. 10. According to court documents, Hawkins’ girlfriend found a DVD with recorded sex acts. Police believe the women on that DVD did not know they were being recorded.
The girlfriend said they met on Match.com and dated for three to four months. She told police she decided to borrow some DVDs and found recordings of Hawkins engaged in sex acts with three women.
During the course of the investigation, police contacted one of the women in the recordings. The woman told police she never consented to being recorded, leading detectives to believe any other recordings of unknown women were done without their knowledge. Court documents go on to say both women expressed concern because Hawkins worked as a teacher and volleyball coach.

Meanwhile, in Columbus, Ohio:

A former Westerville youth coach is charged in federal court with secretly filming a young family member while she was nude and downloading child pornography online.
Bryan W. Lehman, 50, is being held in the Franklin County jail while he awaits a decision next week from federal Magistrate Judge Terrence P. Kemp on whether Lehman should remain incarcerated while awaiting trial.
On Sept. 25, [Lehman’s] home was searched after a warrant was filed. . . .
Authorities found a computer hard drive with dozens of explicit videos and images of a young girl whom Lehman had apparently filmed, [Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Officer Steven] Grubbs said. Hundreds of other child-porn and erotic images downloaded from the Internet also were found.
Lehman eventually told Grubbs that he had filmed the young relative by attaching a smartphone to his belt and shooting video of her without her knowledge, the officer testified. He made the recordings between November 2010 and May 2012, investigators found.
In at least one video, filmed in a bathroom, Lehman can be seen in the mirror as he films the nude girl, who is about 6 or 7 years old at that time, Grubbs said. The camera focuses on the girl’s genitals.

Little Rock, Arkansas:

Zachary Thomas Nehus, 42, of Hot Springs was arrested [Sept. 25] on 30 counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child, a Class C felony. Nehus bonded out of the Garland County Detention Center on a $75,000 bond [Sept. 26].
According to Aaron Sadler of the Attorney General’s office, Nehus was employed by St. John’s middle school at the time of his arrest.
Dennis Lee with the Catholic Diocese of Little Rock stated that Nehus was placed on administrative leave . . .

Stoughton, Massachusetts:

A Stoughton attorney was ordered held on bail after he was arraigned on child pornography charges Tuesday.
Richard Comenzo was charged with one count of possession of child porn and one count of dissemination of child porn, Norfolk District Attorney spokesman David Traub said.
The prosecution claimed Comenzo solicited sex from minors on Tumblr and Craigslist and posted child porn from those accounts. . . .
On his website, Comenzo says he specializes in Internet and medical marijuana law.

Wilmington, Delaware:

As he moved through the ranks of tony prep schools, Christopher Wheeler seemed right at home. An accomplished musician and composer who flew his own airplane, he seemed adept at raising money and catering to wealthy families who entrusted him with their children.
But court records suggest Wheeler for years may have hidden a darker side of his personality that surfaced after he became headmaster at Tower Hill School, an elite Delaware prep school founded by members of the du Pont family.
“I did those things. I am the one responsible,” Wheeler wrote last year, according to court documents, in a letter to a Pennsylvania man who asked Wheeler about making amends for the alleged child sexual abuse he perpetrated. . . .
Delaware investigators searched Wheeler’s home and office at Tower Hill last fall for evidence of witness tampering or intimidation. They instead found some 2,000 images of child pornography, according to police.
Wheeler was paid more than $300,000 a year at Tower Hill, where tuition exceeds $25,000 a year. . . .
Wheeler has remained in custody since his arrest last fall, unable to post $1.5 million cash bail. He appeared gaunt and pale at his trial Tuesday, his face covered in a gray beard.
Wheeler is charged with 25 counts of dealing in child pornography and faces at least 50 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Dover, Delaware:

A Smyrna man was arrested Monday after it was discovered he had been having sexual encounters with a 14-year-old Dover girl, police said Tuesday.
Harold Philhower, 33, was charged with third-degree rape, three counts of possession of child pornography and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, Cpl. Mark Hoffman of Dover police said. . . .
Philhower met the girl outside the Kaizen Karate Academy at 155 Commerce Way in Dover, where she is a student, and several times they had inappropriate contact, Hoffman said.
Philhower’s wife is an instructor at the academy.
Hoffman said Philhower received several nude photos of the victim through social media.

Davenport, Iowa:

A California man, who convinced Iowa teens and at least one school into believing he was a movie star, now faces charges at the federal level.
Investigators said David Lavera, 33, of San Diego, posed as Kiowa Gordon, who starred as Embry Call in the popular “Twilight” saga movies. Lavera reportedly convinced one Iowa girl to get into his car, and had allegedly asked another girl to sneak out of her home after her parents were asleep.
Lavera was so convincing, he was invited to appear and perform some stunts at a school assembly at Berg Elementary and Middle School. One of his alleged victims said Lavera attended a school-sponsored pool party for eighth graders. . . .
Lavera was taken into federal custody by U.S. Marshals on Monday, October 6, 2014, after a grand jury indicted him on charges of knowingly producing child pornography or sexual exploitation of a minor, and knowingly possessing child pornography.

Kansas City, Missouri:

A child pornography investigation that started outside the United States and involved Homeland Security has led to charges against a Kansas City man.
Charles R. Burge, 35, was charged with statutory rape, sexual exploitation of a minor, enticement of a child and endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held on $500,000 bail. . . .
Investigators said Homeland Security was contacted by a police agency in another country in March about a series of images that chronicled four years of abuse of an 11-year-old girl. . . .
The series of images contained more than 140 images of the girl who was 7 when the alleged incidents began.
When police executed a search warrant, they found Burge and the girl, along with evidence linking him to the crimes.
Prosecutor Eric Zahnd said that Burge was convicted of rape in Arkansas in 1996. He is on probation for failing to register as a sex offender.
If convicted, Burge would face life in prison.

Norfolk, Virginia:

A Virginia Beach man faces additional charges that he forced nine young girls to send him nude photos and videos, but he now seeks to suppress his confession, saying police coerced him.
Daniel Chase Harris, 31, a Navy pilot, was charged in a new indictment with 32 counts of enticing minors to engage in sexual activity and related child pornography counts. . . .
Harris, a Naval Academy graduate, is a lieutenant and was a flight instructor at Oceana Naval Air Station at the time of his arrest.
Authorities in Bedford County were alerted to the case when a 14-year-old and her parents reported that someone had tried to extort money from the girl after she sent a nude photo of herself on Facebook to someone using the aliases Will Williams and Steve Crofton, according to court records.
The other girls reported similar extortion attempts, the indictment says.

This is just a small sample of recent news articles. What prompted this snapshot of the swirling vortex of evil in our world? A radical feminist in Australia reacted to Emma Watson’s U.N. speech:

Several feminists have already addressed some of the problematic aspects of her speech. Like many, I am critical of the strategies employed by transnational organizations like the UN. I am also critical of liberal feminism.

You got that? Laura McNally is a radical feminist who is critical of liberal feminism. It’s important that you understand where she’s coming from when you read this part of her column:

The liberal feminist movement argues sexist objectification and violent pornography can be feminist . . .
Liberal feminism frames sexual violence in porn as an empowered choice for women. . . .
While we are in the midst of a child porn and pedophilia epidemic, liberal feminism argues we should sell sexy lingerie to seven year old girls because children need “sexual choices.”

Do you see what I mean when I say radical feminists, while certainly crazy, are also often right about certain issues? Liberals want us to believe that sexual “repression” is our problem, so that what we need is more sexual “liberation.” Radical feminists may be crazy, but they’re not stupid enough to believe that. Laura McNally again:

If the sex trade were a choice that supposedly liberates women, wouldn’t we all be liberated by now? What with pornography making up over a third of the whole Internet, and with the global sex industry estimated at being worth over $7000 billion (nearly ten years ago by the EU). . . .
Girls are increasingly surrounded by sex trade influences, with much of the visual culture saturated with pornography. . . . Thai reports show 40 per cent of the sex industry is made up of underage girls. . . .
Australian writers have told me that girls in Asia have to “choose” between the garment industry and the sex industry, otherwise beg. Why is this first-world “choice” narrative homogenizing feminist discourse? . . .
Liberal feminist rhetoric is dominated by first-world accounts of “I think this is empowering so it is.” This apolitical approach evades the statistics and realities of millions of girls and women whose stories we will likely never read about in a feminist bestseller. Feminism has come to mean whatever wealthy consumers want it to mean — “feeling good,” rather than actual change or justice.

You can read the rest of that, with the caveat that Laura McNally is a crazy radical feminist, so that she blames “patriarchy” and “male supremacy” for these monstrous evils when, in fact, it’s the liberal “if it feels good, do it” attitude toward sex that makes perverts think they are entitled to whatever wicked thrills they crave. Evil has no gender, however, as this story from Argentina should make clear:

Julia Alvarez, 15, from the town of Juan Domingo Peron, in the northern Argentinian province of Formosa was set upon by her attackers who thought she was too pretty . . .
Julia had been to visit friends and was walking home when she says she was approached by her attackers, two sisters aged 16 and 18, who started hitting her and punched her to the ground.
According to her statement the girls pulled out knives and said, “Everyone says you are pretty. You won’t look pretty when we have finished with you. People will call you Chucky,” reports the Mirror.
The girl was slashed with the knives several times on her face and back.
After the attack the two sisters ran away and left Julia lying in a pool of blood . . .
Julia needed dozens of stitches on her face and back to put the flaps of skin back together.

But did I mention radical feminists are crazy?

Sometimes, when I highlight crimes committed by women and homosexuals, people accuse me of fomenting bigotry. So here in a single post I have highlighted nine sick crimes committed by men, crimes in which girls and women were victimized, to say nothing of my reports earlier this morning about actor Stephen Collins and school teacher Sean Shaynak. Do you think, however, that just once feminists could acknowledge Simone de Beauvoir’s perversion?

When in doubt, it’s usually Number Three.

‘Magnet School,’ IYKWIMAITYD

Posted on | October 8, 2014 | 6 Comments

Brooklyn Technical High School is a “magnet school” where the students include New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s son Dante. Sean Shaynak, 44, was a popular math and physics teacher at Brooklyn Tech. Shaynak was very, very popular. Not in a good way:

A New York City public school math teacher accused of having sex with six students also allegedly sent a picture of his genitals to another 16-year-old girl in his class.
On the day after school ended in June, instructor Sean Shaynak allegedly sent the girl a picture of his privates to her cell phone via Snapchat, the girl’s angered father told The New York Daily News . . .
Brooklyn Technical High School teacher Sean Shaynak remained in custody . . .  he pleaded not guilty to the new charges. Bail was set at $750,000 bond and was at $250,000 for the previous charge. . . .
The charges in the new indictment include kidnapping, forcible touching, sexual abuse and criminal sexual act. . . .
Authorities said . . . that computers and phones taken after his arrest found text messages, photos and videos detailing sexual interactions with six teens, from ages 13 to 19, between 2011 and 2014.
Those interactions included taking a 15-year-old girl to a nude beach and giving alcohol and cigarettes to minors, officials said. . . .
During the investigation . . . authorities searched his home, computers and phones and allegedly unearthed thousands of inappropriate text messages, photographs and videos. . . .
They allegedly learned that he had had relations with six students, who ranged in age from 13 to 19, between 2011 and 2014, NBC New York reported.
‘The defendant, clearly from his actions, looked to groom these students,’ assistant district attorney Joseph Mancino said in Brooklyn Supreme Court, the New York Daily News reported.
He took one 15-year-old girl to a nude beach in New Jersey without her parents’ permission and he also took her to his home, where he plied her with alcohol until she passed out, Mancino said.
Shaynak also asked the girl to take part in lesbian sex with another student, prosecutors claim.
During a relationship with another girl, he allegedly watched her have sex with other people at a sex club.
He also had sex with another girl but she put up resistance when the sex went too far — but he forced himself on her anyway, prosecutors said, the Daily News reported.
