Convicted sex trafficker William Maurice Saddler.

News from North Carolina:

A Wilson man convicted of human trafficking has been ordered to pay close to half a million dollars to his victim.
U.S. District Judge Louise W. Flanagan ordered William Maurice Saddler, 36, of Wilson, to pay $477,618.20 in restitution. This is the largest amount ever ordered in the Eastern District under the trafficking restitution statute, according to Robert J. Higdon, Jr., U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The case involved a 15-year-old victim whom Saddler prostituted at migrant camps near Wilson. Saddler got the victim addicted to crack cocaine, coerced her and forced her to continue prostituting and kept all the money derived from her forced prostitution.
Saddler also introduced the victim to two other pimps, Bobby Ray Williams Jr. and Kenneth Corvon Ward, who also prostituted her with the assistance of two females, Temeeka Honey and Yadyra Brown. Williams, Ward, Honey, and Brown all were previously convicted and sentenced in related cases.
A federal jury in New Bern convicted Saddler of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a minor and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and of a minor.
On June 7, Flanagan sentenced Saddler to 480 months’ imprisonment followed by a lifetime of supervised release. At the government’s request, and after further proceedings, Flanagan has now ordered Saddler to pay the substantial restitution amount to the victim. . . .
“Saddler’s crimes were unbelievably heinous,” Higdon said. “For years, he exploited and traumatized a child to satiate his greed and others’ sexual desires. No more. His 40-year sentence ensures that he cannot hurt other children, and his nearly half-million dollar restitution order is a small step on the victim’s path to recovery.”

Feminists claim to care about “violence against women,” but they never pay attention to sex-trafficking cases like this, for some reason.  Readers can consult our Violence Against Women archives and see if they discern a pattern to these cases:

Stories like this are not only ignored by feminists, but are treated by the media as strictly “local news.” You’re never going to see CNN report about these criminals who traffick teenage girls, for some reason.

Convicted sex trafficker Johnell Carter.

News from Kansas:

A Wichita man has pleaded guilty to sex trafficking a teenage girl, officials said.
Johnell Carter, 22, of Wichita, pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of sex trafficking, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said in a release.
On the first count, Carter admitted in his plea agreement to using force — including punching and biting — to make an 18-year-old woman to perform commercial sex acts at Wichita hotels, which he advertised online. On the second count, Carter admitted to recruiting a 15-year-old girl for prostitution then pimping her out through online ads.
Federal prosecutors said in an indictment that the girl told them that she was pimped out by Carter and his girlfriend, Jazmin Manuel. . . .
Prosecutors alleged that Manuel took the girl to San Antonio, where she had been advertised on Backpage and had sex with men. Manuel has been charged with sex trafficking of a child.
In connection to the case, co-defendant Christian L. Dixon, 28, pleaded guilty in November to one count of carrying a firearm during a crime of violence. He admitted in the plea deal to driving prostitutes to meet with customers, obtaining drugs and robbing a customer at gunpoint.
Carter, Dixon and Manuel were allegedly paid by about 50 men who had sex with the girl, prosecutors previously said.
Kansas Department of Corrections records show Johnell E. Carter has previous convictions in Sedgwick County of robbery, aggravated burglary and criminal threat.

Feminists haven’t noticed this crime, for some reason.

BOOM! John McCain Aide Was BuzzFeed Source for Steele Dossier

Posted on | December 19, 2018 | Comments Off on BOOM! John McCain Aide Was BuzzFeed Source for Steele Dossier

 

BuzzFeed won its defamation lawsuit filed by a Russian named in the Steele dossier, but look at what we’ve learned as a result:

A longtime associate of late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain provided a copy of the infamous Steele dossier to BuzzFeed News, according to an explosive court filing released Wednesday.
David Kramer, a former State Department official who was an executive at the McCain Institute, met on Dec. 29, 2016 with BuzzFeed reporter Ken Bensinger, according to a filing submitted Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Ursula Ungaro.
BuzzFeed published the dossier, which was authored by former British spy Christopher Steele, on Jan. 10, 2017.
The disclosure was made as part of a final report ahead of Ungaro’s ruling in favor of BuzzFeed in a defamation lawsuit. . . .
Kramer obtained copies of the dossier after meeting in late November 2016 with Steele. He and McCain became aware of Steele’s investigation of then-candidate Donald Trump earlier that month at the Halifax International Security Forum.
McCain dispatched Kramer to London to meet with Steele. After that Nov. 28, 2016 encounter, Kramer obtained a copy of the dossier from Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS, the firm that hired Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC.
Kramer met Nov. 30, 2016, with McCain and McCain’s chief of staff, Christopher Brose, to review Steele’s reports.
“Kramer advised McCain to share the reports with the FBI and the CIA,” according to Ungaro.

So the phony dossier that created the bogus “Russian collusion” narrative was promoted by that backstabbing selfish crapweasel John McCain.

The Only Good Commie …

Posted on | December 19, 2018 | Comments Off on The Only Good Commie …

Joseph Alcoff, a/k/a Jose Martin, a/k/a “Chepe.”

Did you know that Joseph Alcoff is a Communist who advocates the violent overthrow of the U.S. government? Did you know that Joseph Alcoff hates the police and advocates killing police officers? Did you know that Joseph Alcoff (a/k/a, Jose Martin, a/k/a “Chepe”) is employed by a tax-exempt non-profit left-wing advocacy organization? Did you know Alcoff is associated with “Smash Racism DC,” the radical Antifa group that harassed Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Sen. Ted Cruz?

All of this was news to me when I read the astonishing Daily Caller report about Alcoff’s activities by Andrew Kerr, and what I find most remarkable — not surprising exactly, but remarkable — is that this dangerous Commie’s mother is a feminist professor employed by the City University of New York’s Hunter College. Linda Martin Alcoff got her Ph.D. from Brown University in 1987, and her son has paid tribute to her:

“I was raised in a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist family that understands intersectionality,” he said at Left Forum 2015.

Yes, “intersectionality.” This reminds me of a historical intersection, between a bullet from a pistol and a Commie terrorist’s head.

 

Thank you for the inspiration, Brig. Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan!

Woody Allen’s Jailbait Lover: ‘When Mia Was There, We’d Talk About Astrology, and Woody Was Forced to Listen’

Posted on | December 19, 2018 | Comments Off on Woody Allen’s Jailbait Lover: ‘When Mia Was There, We’d Talk About Astrology, and Woody Was Forced to Listen’

Babi Christina Engelhardt in 1977.

Everyone is trying to get their minds around the Hollywood Reporter‘s lengthy profile of Babi Christina Engelhardt who, at 16 years old in 1976, became Woody Allen’s lover (allegedly). Perhaps the most shocking revelation, from the 21st-century feminist #MeToo perspective, is that the former model and actress refuses to think of herself as a victim:

Like others among her generation — she just turned 59 on Dec. 4 — Engelhardt is resistant to attempts to have the life she led then be judged by what she considers today’s newly established norms. “It’s almost as if I’m now expected to trash him,” she says. . . .
She’s proud of her teenage self as an up-by-her-bootstraps heroine who successfully beguiled a “celebrated genius.” Even now, she holds herself largely responsible for remaining in the relationship as long as she did and for the frustration and sorrow that ultimately came with the liaison — one in which, by her description, she never held any agency. (Most experts would contend that such an uneven power dynamic is inherently exploitative.)
Even with hindsight, though, she’s unwilling to indict Allen, who declined to comment for this story. “What made me speak is I thought I could provide a perspective,” she offers. “I’m not attacking Woody,” she says. “This is not ‘bring down this man.’ I’m talking about my love story. This made me who I am. I have no regrets.”

In point of fact, it was the teenage Engelhardt who initiated the affair, boldly dropping a note with her phone number on 41-year-old Allen’s table in a Manhattan restaurant, and if “most experts” condemn the “uneven power dynamic” involved . . . Well, it was the 70s, man.

When the #MeToo crusade roared to life last year with the destruction of Harvey Weinstein — who certainly deserved to be destroyed — there was a brief moment when Weinstein attempted to defend himself: “I came of age in the ’60s and ’70s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different. That was the culture then.” And indeed, considering that Weinstein entered show business as a rock concert promoter in the 1970s, at the absolute nadir of rock-and-roll decadence, it’s not difficult to understand why he thought he could get away with his predatory behavior. Stories have emerged of musical legends like Led Zeppelin and the Eagles partying with jailbait groupies in an era when nobody within the rock-and-roll subculture blinked twice at a 15-year-old girl with a backstage pass. Nobody in that scene thought of teenage groupies as victims of an “inherently exploitative power dynamic.”

Question: Why this Nietzschean obsession with sexual power?
Answer: The decline of religious morality.

Don’t argue with me. Don’t get me started. Once upon a time, sexual behavior was judged by a morality that involved the word “sin” and, under that standard, willful sinners — those who deliberately engaged in fornication — could not plausibly claim they were victims. No Christian minister of my acquaintance would assert that 16-year-olds are incapable of knowing the difference between good and evil, and if Babi Engelhardt chose to do evil, she was responsible for the consequences. New York laws regarding age of consent might make Woody Allen a criminal, but Babi Engelhardt did not consider herself the victim of a crime at the time, and refuses to rewrite the past to claim victimhood now.

Abandoning the clear distinction of right and wrong — “Thus saith the Lord” — inevitably leads us into the morass of moral relativism, a consequence Shakespeare once poetically described:

Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong —
Between whose endless jar justice resides —
Should lose their names, and so should justice too.
Then every thing includes itself in power,
Power into will, will into appetite;
And appetite, a universal wolf,
So doubly seconded with will and power,
Must make perforce a universal prey,
And last eat up himself.

When “right and wrong . . . lose their names” we may all become victims of our own appetites, “universal prey” of that “universal wolf.”

So it was in the 1970s, in the wake of the Sexual Revolution that attacked our society’s ancient ideas of right and wrong. As someone the same age as Babi Engelhardt, I think back to my own youth and the girls I knew in high school who went partying in Atlanta discos before they were even old enough to drive. Back in the day, when the drinking age in Georgia was 18, it was possible for a 15-year-old girl with a fake ID to run wild in the nightclub scene. If she was good-looking, and physically mature enough to pass for 18, the bouncers and bartenders weren’t going to scrutinize her ID closely enough to tell it was her older sister’s license. Such behavior was sufficiently common that it was taken for granted, and I suppose we could also discuss the fact (which was universally acknowledged among teenage dopeheads back in the day) that no good-looking chick ever had to pay for her dope. If a chick wanted to get high, there was always some dude willing to supply her with marijuana, LSD, Quaaludes or whatever, and it was no secret what she was expected to provide in exchange for this. A girl I went to school with became the longtime girlfriend of the biggest cocaine dealer in Atlanta and, so far as I know, she has never complained that she was the victim of an “inherently exploitative power dynamic.” But I digress . . .

Whose interests are served by abandoning old-fashioned morality in favor of a Nietzschean obsession with power? This serves the interests of our decadent elite, who trust in their wealth and high status to protect them, so that their sins and vices will never be exposed. How frightening it must be for them to see all the careers and reputations destroyed by the #MeToo movement. If you never had wealth or fame, you can congratulate yourself on your comparative safety, since there is no real incentive for exposing the misdeeds of the poor and obscure.

Woody Allen’s reputation has been toxic ever since he married Soon-Yi Previn, the Korean orphan who had been adopted in 1978 by Mia Farrow and her then-husband, conductor André Previn. Farrow had been 21 when she married 50-year-old Frank Sinatra in 1966; he divorced her two years later and Farrow was still only 25 when she married Previn, then 41, in 1970. Farrow is something of a collector of children. Since 1973, in addition to giving birth to four children of her own, Farrow has adopted 10 children, three of whom are deceased. Farrow became involved with Woody Allen four years after he started dating Babi Engelhardt and (of course) they had threesomes:

Despite the initial shock of jealousy, Engelhardt says she grew to like Farrow over the course of the “handful” of three-way sex sessions that followed at Allen’s penthouse as they smoked joints and bonded over a shared fondness for animals. (“When Mia was there, we’d talk about astrology, and Woody was forced to listen,” she laughs.) . . .
“I used to think this was a form of mother-father with the two of them,” says Engelhardt. “To me, that whole relationship was very Freudian: how I admired them, how he’d already broken me in, how I let that be all right.”
As for Farrow, she explains, “I always had the impression that she was doing this because he wanted it.” Engelhardt recalls when the story broke about Allen’s relationship with Farrow’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn (now his wife of nearly 21 years). “I felt sorry for Mia,” she says. “I thought, ‘Didn’t Woody have enough ‘extra,’ with or without her, that the last thing he had to do was to go for something that was totally hers?’
“He had groomed Mia, trained her, to put up with all of this. Now he had no barriers. It was total disrespect.”

Now, keep in mind that Farrow started dating Allen after he had already been dating Engelhardt for four years. Marijuana and “three-way sex sessions”? No problem! And hey, let’s talk astrology, because what else do you expect two women to talk about when they’re having a ménage à trois in a Manhattan penthouse with a famous film director?

Babi Engelhardt says Woody Allen showed “total disrespect” toward Mia Farrow, but what did Mia ever do to deserve respect? She’d already been divorced twice before she hooked up with Allen, and was apparently OK with marijuana and group sex. When someone is scraping the bottom of the barrel, living an immoral life of illegal drugs and sexual perversion, they should not be surprised to be treated with “total disrespect.”

Mia Farrow is just white trash and so is Babi Engelhardt. There is nothing admirable about either of them, and the only thing praiseworthy about Engelhardt is that at least she doesn’t claim to be a victim.

The Hate Twitter Won’t Ban

Posted on | December 18, 2018 | 1 Comment

Laura Loomer was banned from Twitter last month, as part of the platform’s endless purge of conservative accounts. Before she was purged, however, she wrote something about the #MeToo hysteria that prompted this response from one of her young male followers:

 

With slight orthographic improvement:

“I am wearing a body cam from now on. I also am taking a vow of silence. Any time a woman is near, I am not saying a word. Thanks, feminism.”

Is this . . . extreme? Well, it’s sarcastic hyperbole, I’m sure, but it expresses an entirely rational male reaction to feminism, a movement that is predicated on, and which seeks to encourage all women to embrace, a limitless hostility toward men. (Yes, all men.)

It is impossible for me to imagine what it must be like for young single men in the climate of anti-male hatred that feminism has created. How the heck can a guy flirt with a girl without risking an accusation of harassment? And how can any man feel safe in pursuing heterosexual activity knowing, as has been repeatedly demonstrated in recent years, that young women are willing to make false accusations of sexual assault as a means of (a) expunging their sense of shame over their drunken hookups, or (b) getting revenge against ex-boyfriends they feel have done them wrong in some way? It’s genuinely scary, when you examine the details of some cases of false accusations that have come to light.

Better safe than sorry, and if young guys are being extra-cautious about their interactions with women, can you blame them? What called my attention to @KYCERO’s tweet was this reaction from a feminist:

 

This is a deliberately dishonest distortion. When young men say that the current hysteria over “rape culture” and “harassment” has caused them to limit their interactions with women as a means of avoiding potentially life-destroying accusations, they’re not doing so because they need any pious feminist sermons about “consent” and “respect.” No, they’re doing it because this anti-male rage (e.g., the smear campaign against Brett Kavanaugh) is symptomatic of a mass hysteria among young women which has made heterosexual interaction enormously risky for men. Under the #BelieveWomen standard, anything a man says in his own defense is either automatically dismissed by feminists (because no man can be trusted) or else twisted into proof that he’s guilty.

But wait, who is this @Legal_Feminista person? Her profile states she’s an alumna of Boston University ($69,668 a year, including room and board) and what else does she have to say on her Twitter feed?

 

 

 

 

 

Her Twitter account is a nearly constant anti-male diatribe, but has Twitter done anything about her hateful rhetoric? Of course not. Twitter only suspends conservative accounts, while permitting the most offensive insults against the Left’s enemies. They hate you and want you dead.
