Fugitive Florida Sex Offender Flees to Canada, Claims ‘Refugee’ Status

Posted on Comments

Denise Harvey, 45, molested a 16-year-old Florida boy.

Denise Harvey is from Indian River County, the same community that is also home to notorious sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt. Some people may think exiling criminal perverts to Canada would be adequate punishment, but Florida officials want her extradited:

Vero Beach fugitive Denise Harvey is claiming refugee status in Canada, saying the 30-year sentence she received for having sex with a 16-year-old amounts to “cruel and unusual punishment.”
An hour-long private “detention review” was held Monday in Saskatoon, the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, for Harvey, 45. She was released from Royal Canadian Mounted Police custody late Monday afternoon on a $5,000 bond, Harvey’s lawyer Chris Veeman said.
“I think she’s relieved to be out of jail,” said Veeman, a Saskatoon immigration law specialist.
Harvey plans to remain with husband, Charles, at their home in Pike Lake, about 18 miles south of Saskatoon, where they have lived since fleeing Florida nearly a year ago, Veeman said.
Harvey was convicted in 2008 on multiple counts of felony unlawful sex activity with certain minors. The charges stem from sexual encounters with her son’s then-16-year-old baseball teammate and friend. . . .
Details of the case aside, Veeman said a 30-year sentence is grounds for a refugee claim. It’s not a “classic” claim under the United Nations convention that usually pertains to political prisoners from Third World dictatorships. He acknowledged a refugee claim from an American might seem unusual, but it is valid nonetheless.
“Thirty years is too high. It’s way out of whack. I think there is merit to her (refugee) claim,” Veeman said.
The refugee claim could take months — or longer — to resolve. Harvey has 28 days to file her reasons for the claim and a multi-step process will follow.
The refugee claim is one of several intriguing legal possibilities the case raises. Harvey was arrested last week on the request of U.S. Marshals and Florida justice officials, who want her extradited to serve her time. But Canada does not extradite people unless the incident is a crime in both countries, according to the Department of Justice website — a principle known as “double criminality.”
Having sexual relations with a 16-year-old is not against the law in Canada, unless there is a power dynamic such as teacher-student.

The Iraq Disaster

Posted on Comments

Four years ago, Vice President Joe Biden claimed that Obama’s Iraq policy would be “one of the greatest achievements” of his administration. If by “greatest achievements,” you mean anarchy as Iraq is overrun by al-Qaeda terrorists, I guess Biden was right:

The likely breakup of Iraq into feuding ethnic and sectarian bastions accelerated Friday as Iraq’s senior Shiite Muslim cleric broke years of support for the central government and decreed that every able-bodied Shiite man had a religious obligation to defend the sect’s holy sites from rebellious Sunni Muslims led by fighters from the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
In answer to the call, thousands of Shiites — many with militia experience from the sectarian war that pitted Sunnis against Shiites and killed thousands from 2006 to 2008– flooded the cities of Baghdad, Najaf and Karbala to receive weapons, enlist in organized units and receive their orders.

“Greatest achievements”:

The Shiite-led government of Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki remained in paralysis Friday, unable to form a coherent response after al-Qaida-inspired militants blitzed and captured entire chunks of the nation’s Sunni heartland this week, including major cities, towns, military and police bases as Iraqi forces melted away or fled.
The new reality is the biggest threat to Iraq’s stability since the U.S. withdrawal at the end of 2011, and it has pushed the nation closer to a precipice that would partition it into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish zones.
Fighters from the militant group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on Thursday vowed to march on Baghdad, joined by Saddam Hussein-era loyalists and other disaffected Sunnis.
Trumpeting their victory, the militants also declared they would impose Shariah law in Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city they captured on Tuesday, and other areas they seized.

“Greatest achievements”:

[A]ny reduction in the flow of Iraqi crude due to the ongoing Islamic insurgency in the northern Iraq cities of Mosul and Tikrit could have worldwide economic consequences, according to oil industry analyst Phill Flynn, who said speculators are watching for the worst-case scenario.
“They think that Baghdad will not fall and that will be a more spirited defense of that city,” Flynn said. “But if it does fall and if the terrorists move further south, the price you’re paying at the pump today is gonna look like a bargain in a couple weeks.”

Can the U.S. embassy in Iraq withstand attack? Gosh, why does this all seem so familiar? It’s like the 1970s or something.

 

The O. Henry Plot Twist

Posted on Comments

Readers will remember the case of Rebecca Diebolt, the California teacher charged with having a lesbian affair with a teenage student.

Now brace yourself for the unexpected plot twist:

Perhaps no one is more blown away by a teacher’s arrest for allegedly molesting a female student starting when the girl was 15 than the woman’s colleagues who just attended her baby shower.
Teachers at Valencia High School in Placentia speaking with the Weekly under condition of anonymity say 35-year-old Rebecca Eileen Diebolt of Brea is pregnant.

Actually, this plot twist should not be so unexpected. Many of the women arrested on lesbian molestation charges seem to be otherwise heterosexual, and some of them are married mothers. To cite one recent example, Florida dance teacher Nichol Marie Phelps was a married mother of two when she molested a 15-year-old student.

What’s wrong with these women? Are they “bi-curious,” and just happen to express their same-sex curiosity with underage girls? Or are they closeted lesbians whose “straight” marriages are socially-approved camouflage to create an appearance of normality they use to get access to young girls in predatory stealth mode? Could it be that such cases are just symptomatic of polymorphous perversity?

We don’t know. Female sex offenders aren’t as widely studied as their male counterparts, and most of the testimony we have from the perpetrators is offered in court hearings where the defendant has a motive to minimize or justify their criminal behavior. So we have very little guidance to answer the key questions, “What the hell were you thinking?” and “How did you become such a perverted weirdo?”

Meanwhile, in Orlando:

A Florida teacher and her 58-year-old boyfriend have been accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl.
Kimberly Honaker, 48, had been charged on [May 31] with child neglect for allegedly failing to intervene to stop Robert Pruitt sexually abusing a child.
But on [June 3] Honaker, who has been suspended from the middle school she worked at for 17 years, was arrested again over claims that she had also molested the young girl.
When the language teacher was arrested for a second time, she was charged with lewd molestation and the use of a child in a sexual performance. . . .
The couple were arrested after Pruitt’s ex-wife alerted police to Facebook messages, texts and emails that suggested an inappropriate relationship was taking place.
Pruitt had moved in with Honaker, who he has known for years, in May. Police described the house they shared as being filthy and containing 20 dogs.
Honaker, a mom to twin girls, has been banned from the school campus and is expected to have her pay suspended at the next school meeting, a district spokesman told the Orlando Sentinel. . . .
Police told Click Orlando that Pruitt’s ex-wife had kicked him out of their home earlier this year after suspecting him of having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old.
He then moved in with Honaker, who is accused of allowing the abuse to continue over the next few weeks.

A middle-school teacher accused of sexually molesting a 13-year-old girl in a filthy house with 20 dogs? What the hell were you thinking and how did you become such a perverted weirdo?”

Our Moral Superiors™

You have to wonder sometimes how the intelligentsia have been able to maintain the myth of their superiority for so long, and how much longer they can keep it up in the face of overwhelming evidence contradicting this myth. For example, the American Studies Association (ASA) boycott campaign against Israel is led by New York University Professor Lisa Duggan, whose expertise is non-existent:

Duggan’s academic specialties are modern U.S. cultural, social and political history; history of gender and sexuality; and lesbian and gay studies. One course of hers at NYU is called “Queer Historiographies and Constructions of Whiteness in the United States.” Her claim to fame: Inventing the word “homonormativity” to explain how many gays now want to mimic straight people, in terms of “domesticity and consumption.”

This academic fraud can no more claim to be an expert on Mideast policy than any random person you might find on a subway train in Manhattan, and yet she is accepted as a leader of the anti-Israel movement, perhaps because anyone who hates Israel is acceptable.

Donald Douglas has more on Professor Duggan’s non-expertise.

 

‘A Troubling Echo of Misogynistic Stereotypes of the Spiteful Ex-Wife’

Posted on Comments

Just encountered that phrase in an article at The Atlantic and wondered: Are they implying that spiteful ex-wives don’t exist?

Assuming that the writer isn’t actually denying the existence of spiteful ex-wives, why is it “misogynistic” to acknowledge the truth of the old adage that “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”? Most women recognize this as true, especially because it is often women — e.g., the guy’s new girlfriend — who are targets of the fury of scorned women.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, and not merely because of bigotry.

 

Does the GOP Establishment Endorse Thad Cochran’s Bestiality Nostalgia?

Posted on Comments

In a speech, the senile old fool distinguished Senator from Mississippi waxed nostalgic about his youth, when he did “all kind of indecent things with animals,” a practice he ascribed to the region’s “culture.”

Does the National Republican Senatorial Committee endorse this sort of thing? Are they pro-bestiality or anti-bestiality, or will they need to conduct a poll to determine their position on this issue?

Of course, it’s hard for the NRSC to condemn anything as unnatural or degenerate, when they’re spending millions of dollars to try to make Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader. I’d rather screw a goat.

 

In Which @TuckerCarlson Encounters the Feminist Meaning of Equality

Posted on Comments

Progressives insist that this is “sexism”:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday lamented that Americans are “whiny” about statutory rape and that when it comes to rape, boys are different than girls.
While discussing the recent case in New York, in which a female teacher has been charged with rape for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student, Carlson refused to believe that it should be considered rape.
“It’s ludicrous that we are calling this a rape. Are you serious?” Carson asked on Fox News’ “Outnumbered.” “I’ll tell you what’s wrong to this extent — he went and tattled to the police and destroyed her life. Are you joking? What a whiny country this is.”
Carlson went on to explain that underaged boys are not rape victims, especially if they chased after the older woman.
“You’re this boy, and all of a sudden you’re a rape victim? You pursue an older woman, and have a relationship with her, and you’re a rape victim?” he said. “It defies common sense. And anybody who’s being honest with himself knows exactly what I’m talking about. We all have to pretend.” . . .
When the female panelists on Outnumbered called out Carlson, arguing that he was furthering a double standard, he fully accepted that.
“Of course it’s a double standard! All standards are double standards,” he said. “Because it depends completely on the sex of a child. And if it’s a girl, it’s different from if it’s boy. And we have to pretend that’s not true?”

Tucker Carlson is actually expressing his own misunderstanding of the purpose of such laws. Why do parents send their children to school? What job are teachers paid to do? Certainly, I don’t want my children (male or female) to be molested by a teacher (male or female) and as a matter of law, it is irrelevant whether any particular minor in such a situation believes himself or herself to be a victim.

Furthermore, the advance of feminist “equality” and “liberation” means that women now are more likely to be aggressive perverts than was true 30 or 40 years ago. If a women’s studies major at Duke University can justify her porn career as feminist “empowerment,” certainly female teachers who crave the taste of boy flesh can (and do) find similar justification in the egalitarian rhetoric of feminism.

But maybe Tucker Carlson hasn’t been paying attention, eh?

 

#EndFathersDay: Is This #YesAllWomen Feminism or Another 4Chan Hoax?

Posted on Comments

And does it matter?

Because I routinely check the #fem2 and #radfem hashtags, I noticed the #EndFathersDay hashtag early this morning and also noticed that some people called it a hoax by the gamer/hacker types at 4chan. But the hashtag was adopted by some actual feminists, who see it as a logical extension of the #YesAllWomen campaign — i.e., universal collective female victimhood, with all men as violent patriarchal oppressors — which therefore demonstrates how it is impossible to parody radical feminism.

Adrienne Rich, Mary Daly, Dee Graham — feminists have spent decades following the radical logic of their anti-male ideology to its obvious lesbian conclusion. The amazing thing is that in 2014 there are still heterosexual women who dare to call themselves “feminists.”

Because of the hegemonic influence of feminism among the intelligentsia, however, few college-educated women are willing to speak out against feminism, per se, so that many women who live non-feminist lives nevertheless think of themselves as “feminists,” but are shocked when they encounter actual feminist ideology. This was why so many people were astonished by Radical Wind’s declaration, “PIV is always rape, OK?” — a belief entirely consistent with radical feminism’s anti-male, anti-heterosexual doctrine,taught in Women’s Studies course everywhere, but usually concealed from the general public.

The logic that PIV (penis-in-vagina, i.e., heterosexual intercourse) is “always rape” derives from feminism’s Marxist origins, wherein women as a “sex caste” are collectively exploited and oppressed by men. (Friedrich Engels himself was the first to assert this in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.) The Women’s Liberation movement of the 1960s and ’70s (so-called “Second Wave” feminism) began among women allied to SDS and the anti-war movement, many of whom were “Red Diaper babies” and, having grown up within the Communist millieu, eagerly applied Marxist-Leninist doctrine to women’s second-class status within the male-dominated New Left. Any bibliography of classic Women’s Liberation literature must include radical lesbian authors who understood that rejecting “male supremacy” required a rejection of heterosexuality. Yet between the career ambitions of female journalists like Gloria Steinem (who saw the “feminist” label as a ticket to fame and fortune) and the political ambitions of activists who craved “mainstream” influence, the meaning of feminism has been deliberately obscured so that nowadays “feminism” is whatever any woman wants to claim it to be.

Always, however, anyone who takes feminism seriously — either as a supporter or opponent of the movement — must ultimately understand that an ideology based on implacable hostility toward men is incompatible with any normal woman’s life of heterosexual love, marriage and motherhood. Do we have to wonder why Shulamith Firestone, author of the seminal 1970 feminist text The Dialectic of Sex, died a lonely schizophrenic? Was she a victim of the patriarchy (as feminists would have us believe) or was she a victim of feminism?

When feminists speak of “patriarchy,” “male dominance” and “rape culture,” they are not merely complaining of specific abuses by specific men, but are rather indicting all men as violent oppressors of all women. Because all men are thereby implicated in these patriarchal atrocities, it is impossible for any feminist to accept any male as an ally, so that feminists must not only reject heterosexuality, but must also condemn their own fathers as complicit in the oppression of women. Or at least, this is what feminists must do if they understand the logic of their own anti-male rhetoric. But logic and feminism have never really been compatible, and so we are required to accept intellectual incoherence as the essential expression of women’s identity.
