Crazy Is as Crazy Does: ‘Illuminati’ Arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Florida

Posted on | April 14, 2017 | Comments Off on Crazy Is as Crazy Does: ‘Illuminati’ Arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Florida

George Davis (left) and Kristen Morrow (right).

The first rule of the Illuminati conspiracy is that you should never tell the cops about it, which could cause trouble for these two geniuses:

The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office received a call in Sebastian about a male and female subject lying under a blanket in the grass near the complainant’s home.
As the deputy arrived, he walked to the area to perform a welfare check.
The female was later identified as 37-year-old Kristen Morrow, and the male was identified as 25-year-old George Major Davis.
Morrow came out from under the blanket and started yelling.
“I am part of the Illuminati and free masons. You have no authority and I don’t have to leave,” Morrow said, according to the report.
The deputy was fifty feet away when Morrow started yelling these things. As he approached further, a male subject appeared from under the blanket.
Morrow continued to “yell at the top of her lungs even as I stood a few feet from her,” the report said.
“She continued to yell and rant that she was a famous music talent and she knew judges and her family would have my job,” the deputy said in the report.
Then Davis began to yell why he was being detained. The deputy advised that he was there to perform a welfare check and that there was no reason to yell.
“He continued to yell along with the female about free masons and their impending music record deal and the celebrities, judges, and power their family had,” according to the report. . . .
Morrow and Davis were arrested and transported to the Indian River County Jail where they were charged with disorderly conduct.

Someone needs to mention this to the Illuminati membership committee. A nefarious scheme for global domination must have standards.

Choate Hall Is Decadent and Depraved

Posted on | April 14, 2017 | Comments Off on Choate Hall Is Decadent and Depraved

It costs $48,890 a year to send your kid to the elite Choate private school, and what do parents get for their money? Rape culture:

Choate Rosemary Hall, the elite Connecticut boarding school, said on Thursday that at least 12 former teachers had sexually molested — and, in at least one case, raped — students in a pattern of abuse dating to the 1960s.
The allegations in a report prepared by an investigator for the board of trustees include instances of “intimate kissing” and “intimate touching.”
The parents of a Choate student complained to the school in the early 1980s after their daughter contracted herpes from an English teacher. And in another case, the report describes a student’s rape on a school trip to Costa Rica.
None of the teachers’ actions were reported to the police. In some cases, teachers were allowed to resign after being confronted with evidence of misconduct, and administrators wrote letters of recommendations for teachers who were fired.

Hey, your daughter’s got herpes, but it’s elite herpes.

Totalitarian Mobs Continue to Silence Dissent on University Campuses

Posted on | April 13, 2017 | Comments Off on Totalitarian Mobs Continue to Silence Dissent on University Campuses

 

The dangerous totalitarian thugs — it would be wrong to call them “students” — who attend Claremont McKenna College prevented anyone from entering the venue where author Heather Mac Donald gave a presentation last week about her book The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe. One wonders why parents would pay $50,945 a year in tuition for their children to go to a school controlled by despicable scum who chant obscene slogans:

“We are here to shut down the f–king fascist,” announced an organizer to a crowd of around 100 students. The protesters subsequently marched to the Ath around 4:30 while chanting. An organizer shouted “How do you spell racist?” into a megaphone; the marchers responded “C-M-C.”
When they arrived, the protesters were greeted by around two dozen Campus Safety officers and Claremont police officers, stationed at various locations around the building. . . .
The protesters continued their chants, including “hey hey, ho ho, Heather Mac has got to go,” “shut it down,” and—most frequent and sustained—“black lives matter.” Some of the officers appeared visibly uncomfortable during chant of “from Oakland to Greece, f–k the police.”

The Claremont McKenna Forum reports:

Students filled spaces around Ath, blocking the front and back entrances. Nobody was allowed to enter the building, including students and professors who had signed up for the talk.

These were not “protesters,” but rather a criminal mob engaged in a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech. A student group had invited Heather Mac Donald to campus to give a speech, and the totalitarian thugs threatened violence to prevent that speech. When a mob is chanting “f–k the police,” and declaring their intention to “shut down the f–king fascist,” isn’t the threat of violence obvious?

Anyone who has read William F. Buckley Jr.’s God and Man at Yale knows that the target of his argument in the 1951 classic was the “superstition of academic freedom” that then prevailed among liberal intellectuals. Buckley demonstrated that “academic freedom” was nothing more than an excuse for the promotion of socialism and atheism on campus. It should have been obvious to any student of history that, if the socialists and atheists succeeded in gaining control of universities, they would deny “academic freedom” to those who opposed them. This is what we face in 21st-century America — a totalitarian regime of soi-disant “progressives” who arrogate to themselves the authority to exclude their opponents from university campuses. No criticism of The Cult of Social Justice is permitted at Claremont McKenna College, and a similar regime of left-wing intolerance is enforced on nearly all U.S. campuses. David Horowitz was recently prevented from speaking at the University of California’s Berkeley campus, which was once home to the “Free Speech Movement,” but which is now controlled by the advocates of anti-freedom.

 

Claremont McKenna’s campus police did nothing to restrain the fanatical anti-freedom mob that blockaded the venue where Heather Mac Donald was scheduled to speak, because the entire administration and faculty were complicit in the suppression of her speech. Claremont McKenna does not employ anyone who possesses courage or integrity. There are no responsible adults at this $50,945-a-year “college,” which is nothing but a playpen for brats who have no more interest in education than they do in patriotism, capitalism or Christianity. What are parents paying for when they send their children to Claremont McKenna? An expensive four-year vacation in Southern California supervised by atheist degenerates who teach the young dimwits how to be bullies and cowards:

The protesters released an anonymous statement on Facebook the afternoon of the talk accusing Mac Donald of holding anti-black, Islamophobic, and xenophobic views.
“As a community, we CANNOT and WILL NOT allow fascism to have a platform,” they wrote. “To protect the current police and prison system means that you are maintaining the racist system which constantly murders and dehumanizes people of color.”

This hate-filled screed was published anonymously, you see. What sort of values are these anarchists learning? Last fall, Claremont McKenna’s president and the dean of the faculty issued a statement:

Freedom of speech and diversity of opinion are foundational to the mission of the College. . . .
Our new Campus Resource Center is equally resolute in its commitment to inclusivity, openness, and pluralism. . . .
To benefit fully from the free exchange of challenging ideas, we must ensure that all people with different viewpoints, experiences, and analyses are included in our conversations. We protect the freedom of association as an individual and collective right. We reject exclusion and ad hominem attacks as barriers to learning. All of us —- students, faculty and staff -— must commit to high standards of civility, respect, and appreciation for differences.

While the administrators at Claremont McKenna espouse “diversity,” “inclusivity,” “pluralism” and “civility,” they don’t really mean it. They are dishonest cowards who lack the courage to do anything to protect the values they hypocritically claim to support. Despite their lack of sincerity and conviction, however, the gutless administrators at Claremont McKenna expect students to take their talk of “pluralism,” etc., seriously.

So, after the students/thugs succeeded in shutting down the venue where Heather Mac Donald was to speak, the dean issued an email:

What we face here is not an attempt to demonstrate, or to ask tough questions of our speaker, all of which are both protected and cherished on this campus, but rather to make it impossible for her to speak, for you to listen, and for all of us to debate. This we could not accept.
I fully understand that people have strong opinions and different — often painful — experiences with the issues Heather MacDonald discusses. I also understand that words can hurt. And in a world of unequal power, it is more often than not those who have a history of exclusion who are being hurt by words. I support everyone’s right to make this world a better one. Questions about policing, police brutality, crime, and race matter a lot to our society. Yet precisely because these issues are so important, we must be able to debate them, to acknowledge that there exist different analyses and life experiences about these matters, and to listen carefully to each other.

This is Neville Chamberlain at Munich, really. Abject surrender to the totalitarians, complete with a pandering endorsement of their warped and selfish worldview — “a world of unequal power,” blah blah blah.

How many oppressed victims of “unequal power” does one find at an elite private college where the annual tuition is $50,945 a year? Oh, but Daddy’s paying big money for his precious darling to have a four-year vacation at Claremont McKenna, so whatever the little snowflakes want, the administration is obliged to give them, including the flattery of telling them they want to “make this world a better one.” Right.

You want to see how well that works out in reality? Go to Pyongyang.

Or better yet, go to Chicago, where the Democrat-controlled city government is so corrupt and incompetent that they cannot even protect city judges from the murderous hoodlums who control the streets.

Did you know, by the way, that Claremont McKenna offers a “compassionate meditation program for ethnic minority students to learn how to heal from racism- and race-related incidents”? Yeah — no whites allowed, and never mind how much Daddy paid for your tuition, cracker. Gotta “make this world a better one” by giving special treatment to minority students, who are so obviously suffering “race-related” stress at this posh private school in sunny Southern California. Pandering to overprivileged punks is official policy at Claremont McKenna.

Here’s a summary of the situation from David Thompson:

You see, if you’re invited to speak on campus and you say things that challenge leftist prejudice, there’s a good chance you’ll need an armed police escort to protect you from the mob of budding intellectuals.

Claremont McKenna College is decadent and depraved. If your kid wants to go to school there, refuse to pay a cent of the tuition.

Dear @EmmaWatson: You Are the ‘Goodwill Ambassador’ for a Rape Culture

Posted on | April 12, 2017 | 1 Comment

 

Hello, Ms. Watson. Remember when you went to the United Nations and gave that speech about how everybody should be a feminist? April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Ms. Watson,. and the organization for which you are a spokeswoman . . . Well, let’s talk about “awareness”:

A Wednesday report by the Associated Press sheds further light on the extensive child rape problem that exists within the United Nations peacekeeping forces.
The expose focuses on U.N. peacekeepers operating in Haiti, where nearly 2,000 allegations of sexual abuse have occurred since 2004, with more than 300 cases involving children. A large number of the victims included boys and girls as young as 12 years old, many of whom were raped by peacekeepers on a regular basis.
“I did not even have breasts,” one girl, known as V01, or Victim No.1, told the AP. She said she was consistently raped by as many as 50 U.N. peacekeepers from ages 12 to 15.

Some very ugly stuff here:

The UN report eventually concludes the number of sexual assaults is too numerous to describe in detail and involved 134 Sri Lankan peacekeepers. . . .
The AP found 2,000 complaints of sexual abuse over the past 12 years, with over 300 of those involving children. In very few cases are the soldiers involved ever punished. . . .
A woman who was raped by a peacekeeper tells the AP, “As far as the U.N. goes, they came here to protect us, but all they’ve brought is destruction.”

So the organization for which you are “goodwill ambassador,” Ms. Watson, has been responsible for thousands of rapes, including more than 300 children raped by United Nations “peacekeepers.” The U.N. is clearly not an organization in a position to talk about “women’s rights,” Ms. Watson, and the question is, what are you going to do about it?

Let me guess: Nothing.

 

You are a big phony, Emma Watson. You’re just a rich girl who postures as “feminist” because you want to be admired and praised. You are never going to spend a cent of your own money to do anything to help real people with real problems. Children raped by U.N. peacekeepers? No, we can’t expect Emma Watson to notice such trivial events. You’re far too important to be bothered about such things, you lying hypocrite.

UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers!

Rolling Stone Settles With UVA Dean in Rape Hoax Defamation Lawsuit

Posted on | April 12, 2017 | Comments Off on Rolling Stone Settles With UVA Dean in Rape Hoax Defamation Lawsuit

Last year, a jury awarded $3 million to University of Virginia Dean Nicole Eramo, who was defamed by Rolling Stone‘s November 2014 article “A Rape on Campus.” Rolling Stone had filed a motion to have that judgment vacated, but agreed to drop its appeal in a confidential settlement.

Let me repeat what I said last November:

It cannot be stated often enough: Jackie Coakley lied about rape. She deliberately defamed the innocent members of a UVA fraternity. Jackie Coakley’s gang-rape hoax — a LIE, a FALSEHOOD, a complete FABRICATION — was cited in testimony before a 2014 U.S. Senate committee by her fellow UVA student Emily Renda.

“Haven Monahan” could not be reached for comment.
