A Small Collection Of (Mostly) Violent Bedtime Stories

Posted on | March 9, 2017 | Comments Off on A Small Collection Of (Mostly) Violent Bedtime Stories

— by Wombat-socho

It’s been so long since I’ve done a book post, I can’t even remember when it was. Sometime last year, for sure. Anyhow, before we get any further into 2017, I want to cover some of the books I read late last year, since not everyone reads everything, and I may have picked up something you missed.

I’m going to lead off with the latest novels in Larry Correia’s Monster Hunters International franchise, Monster Hunter Memoirs: Grunge and Monster Hunter Memoirs: Sinners. These were written by John Ringo and edited by Larry, and it shows. They’re the first two books in a trilogy about (Oliver) Chad Gardenier, one of MHI’s top hunters during the Reagan years: a former Marine who dies in the Beirut bombing but gets sent back with a mission. Chad’s not a particularly likeable guy. As is pointed out in the foreword, he always had a huge ego and is therefore not the most reliable of narrators, and that ego is nigh-insufferable in Grunge, which is set in Seattle. Sinners, on the other hand, is set in New Orleans, where MHI’s relationship with the Federal Monster Control Bureau is (to say the least) very different than elsewhere in the country since people in the Big Easy believe in hoodoos and monsters, and a bunch of gangbangers is downright honored to have a “hoodoo man” in their turf. I liked Sinners a lot better, frankly, and I think that was the consensus of most folks in the MHI group on Facebook as well.

Next up, a pair of books that are almost mirror images of each other: Kurt Schlichter’s People’s Republic and Tom Kratman’s A State of Disobedience. In Schlichter’s novel, Blue and Red America separate amicably (mostly) but years later, Red America (the People’s Republic of the title) is collapsing under its own ineptitude, and a spec ops vet has to penetrate California to rescue a wayward Texas heiress. I found it to be a tense thriller, even though it was too short and most of the characters a tad on the cardboard side. Kratman’s novel, on the other hand, posits a President like Hillary Clinton who wants to use the Government’s expanded anti-terror powers against her domestic political enemies. When a Federal raid on a Texas orphanage goes awry (much like Waco, but on a smaller scale) the Governor of Texas decides that Texas needs to go its own way, and that’s when the shooting starts. There’s more political maneuvering and talk about logistics than one might expect, but then, Colonel Kratman is a professional.

You may recall that among the links a couple years back to Mitch Berg’s Minnesota politics blog Shot In The Dark were some chapters of his novel Trulbert!, which related how Minneapolis adapted to the end of the economic world as we know it. Violence, mayhem, libertarianism, gang war, the NFL, and church militias feature prominently. It’s an amusing little short novel, and you may recognize a few characters in the book as people you’ve run into online. Or hopefully not.

David Drake’s Death’s Bright Day and S.M. Stirling’s Prince of Outcasts are the latest books in the RCN and Change universes, respectively, and if you like the other books in those series, then these books are something you’ll like as well.

Hajime Isayama’s Attack On Titan was a hit anime series a couple years ago, but the first volume of the manga left me cold; it was an action story that didn’t seem to move too quickly. John C. Wright’s Iron Chamber of Memory is not as annoying, but I’m having problems sticking to it. I keep getting distracted by other books.

Between Cirsova magazine and the bloggers at Castalia House, there’s a push on to bring back Pulp SF, which should delight every SF and fantasy reader not in thrall to the Puppy Kickers. However, I think posts like this one by Jasyn Jones are barking up the wrong tree. Isn’t there enough to loathe about the New Wave and post-modernist Pink SF without also trying to tarnish the legacy of John W. Campbell Jr.?

#IDW2017 Immigrant Raped Girl From Age 11, Got Her Pregnant at 15, Police Say

Posted on | March 8, 2017 | Comments Off on #IDW2017 Immigrant Raped Girl From Age 11, Got Her Pregnant at 15, Police Say

 

The Daily Mail reports:

A man faces deportation after being arrested on charges of raping his girlfriend’s daughter starting when she was 11 and impregnating her at 15.Henry Jose Garcia, 40, of Cocoa Beach, Florida, was charged Monday with two counts of sexual battery by custodian on a victim under and above 12, according to the Brevard County Sheriff.Immigration authorities had been contacted and his status pending. He had been in the country on a work visa for 10 years, according to WKMG . His country of origin is unclear.
He reportedly worked at the Resort on Cocoa Beach hotel and was attempting to get asylum in the US, according to MyNews13.
The victim recently turned 18, and said after discussing it with family members, she said she realized the abuse was wrong and went to police.
She told them the suspect would wait until her mother went to work and, starting when she was 11, force her to have sex twice a week under threat of violence to her family. He would also allegedly buy her things and give her cash to keep quiet.
The abuse ended when she became pregnant at 15 with his child, she alleged. She showed police text messages where he admitted being the father, reported WKMG.

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

#IDW2017 More Violence Against Women That Feminists Will Probably Ignore

Posted on | March 8, 2017 | Comments Off on #IDW2017 More Violence Against Women That Feminists Will Probably Ignore

 

The Miami Herald reports:

For nearly two weeks her boyfriend held her in their apartment against her will, drugged her, raped her, beat her and at one point used pliers to rip her acrylic nails off, she told Miami Beach police.
On Sunday, Evan Xavier Little, 25, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and sexual battery. He also had a warrant for a probation violation, police said.
The woman showed up at Miami Beach police headquarters Sunday to report the incident, which happened at the end of January, according to the report. She told police she “feared for her safety,” the officer wrote.
She said Little was mad at her because she had left a purse he bought her in an Uber vehicle, and began hitting her with a suitcase and his fists, according to the report.
“The defendant then used pliers and pulled some of her acrylic nails off her,” the officer wrote in the report, adding that she said he struck her legs with a golf club. “The victim attempted to leave the apartment, but the defendant grabbed her by her hair and started to choke her with his hands.”
She also said Little “held a knife to her neck’’ and threatened to harm her if she attempted to leave the apartment, the report said.
For the next two weeks, according to the report, he forced her to stay, drugged her and “had non consensual sex with her.”

Because today is International Women’s Day (#IWD2017 on Twitter), I have been highlighting incidents of violence against women, including Oliver Funes-Machado, who decapitated his own mother, and Neel Salil Mehta, who brutally attacked a teenage girl with a machete. However, feminists have not mentioned these crimes, for some reason.

It’s almost as if there’s a pattern here, or something . . .

#IWD2017: Teenage Girl Disfigured by Brutal Attack in North Carolina

Posted on | March 8, 2017 | 3 Comments

Priyanka Kumari before (left) and after (right) she was attacked in January.

Priyanka Kumari had just gotten off her school bus and was walking down her home in the Raleigh, N.C., suburb of Apex when a man attacked her with a machete. The man “stomped her by his feet and jumped on her body and then started to cut her throat and cut her head off,” her father, Pankaj Kumar, told the local ABC affiliate WTVD-TV.

Witnesses called 9-11. “He’s on top of her and he’s attacking her!” one caller said. “He’s going to kill her! My God!” said another.

Priyanka survived the attack, but suffered injuries so severe that her father did not recognize her when he visited her in the hospital. He said he is praying “my daughter will come back to normal one day.”

 

Neel Salil Mehta, 20, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and attempted first-degree murder in connection with what police say was a premeditated attack. One neighbor said home surveillance video showed Mehta circling the block twice as he waited for the girl to return home from school. Some news accounts describe Priyanka as Mehta’s “ex-girlfriend,” but her father denied she dated the man:

Kumar said Mehta was obsessed with his daughter from the time they attended school together at Green Hope High School in Cary.
He said he had her transferred to Holly Springs High School at the end of 2015 to get away from Mehta, who he said was trying to force her to do drugs.
About a month before the attack, Kumar said Mehta started sending her threatening texts and messages on social media.

Police warrants say Mehta confessed that he planned the attack, using the Lyft ride-sharing application to get a ride to the girl’s neighborhood:

Warrants say “He has used both his real email and social media accounts as well as numerous fake accounts to reach out to her. He has also used free phone apps that allow text messaging from randomly assigned numbers to contact her.”
He used fake Instagram accounts and she took screen shots of recent messages sent from those accounts, as well as Snapchat, warrants revealed.
A review of screenshots reference him threatening to “come see” victim if she blocks that account and stating to her that “a restraining order won’t do (expletive).”

Mehta is being held on $2 million bond. For some reason, American feminists who claim to care about “violence against women” have said nothing about this brutal attack on a teenage girl in North Carolina.

#IWD2017 Illegal Immigrant Teenager Charged With Beheading His Mother

Posted on | March 8, 2017 | 3 Comments

Police say Oliver Funes-Machado cut off his mother’s head Monday.

Today is International Women’s Day (#IWD2017) and we want feminists to pay attention to this case of violence against women:

A North Carolina teen was charged with first-degree murder after police say he decapitated his mother inside the family’s home.
Suspect Oliver Funez, 18, reportedly called 911 sometime Monday afternoon after the beheading and stayed on the line with the dispatcher until EMS arrived, according to WBRC.
When the responders entered the home it looked like something out of a horror film.
“He was with the decapitation in his hand, and it was a gruesome scene. The oldest son killed his mother. It looked to be a large butcher knife, the weapon that was used. I can’t tell you how many wounds,” Sheriff Kent Winstead said in a statement.
Investigators say the teen was immediately taken into custody after he placed the head on the ground in the crime scene.

Of course, feminists will wonder how to stop this violence, and therefore we should enforce our nation’s immigration laws:

A North Carolina teen who made international headlines Monday for allegedly beheading his mother with a knife is in the country illegally and is now wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation.
Bryan Cox, a spokesman for ICE in the southern region, said the agency has filed a detainer for 18-year-old Oliver Funes-Machado, who is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly cutting off the head of his mother, Yesenia Funes Beatriz Machado. The suspect was originally identified by local authorities with the last name spelled Funez. . . .
Funes-Machado is originally from Honduras, ICE officials said.
The killing of Yesenia Funes Beatriz Machado happened about noon Monday, 190 miles east of Charlotte in the small Pilot community of Franklin County. The closest town is Zebulon, an eastern Wake County town of 4,400 people.
Coverage of the shocking murder in a rural community has gone international, with such headlines as “Teen arrested after greeting police with butcher’s knife and mother’s severed head.” The Sun in the United Kingdom referred to the event as a “Beheading Horror” and claimed Funes-Machado “decapitated his own mum in front of her kids then confronted cops carrying her head.” . . .
The Associated Press reported that an attorney for Funes-Machado said his client has “some substantial mental health issues” and was “a pretty profoundly disturbed young man.”
It’s unclear if the rest of the Funes-Machado family is undocumented. Children of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. typically qualify for DACA status, which means they are low priority for deportation. It’s believed Funes-Machado was among the youths who qualify for DACA status.

Oh, what is DACA?

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an American immigration policy started by the Obama administration in June 2012 that allows certain undocumented immigrants to the United States who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation . . .

DACA is an Obama policy that feminists enthusiastically supported. Feminists are pro-illegal immigration, and therefore, pro-decapitation.

If you’re on Twitter, you should call this story to the attention of Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, and other leading feminists — remember to use the hashtag #IWD2017 — because I guarantee you that otherwise none of them will mention this violence by Oliver Funes-Machado.

Today  on #IWD2017, we can quote Bell Hooks:

http://moon-country.tumblr.com/post/155887558879

Did you witness your “mother’s suffering at the hands of male tyrants”? Were your male relatives all “tyrants”? Were your female relatives victimized by their “fathers, brothers, and/or husbands”? If this wasn’t true in your own family, whose families are feminists condemning? Perhaps they mean the Funes-Machado family? And if it is violence against women they wish to prevent, why do feminists habitually defame all men as though we are complicit in the violence committed by criminals? Why don’t feminists support measures targeted at the most frequent perpetrators of such violence? Maybe start with Chicago:

Wilteeah Jones, her unborn baby and her boyfriend were killed on the South Side, police said. Jones’ 20-year-old boyfriend was fatally shot in the neck while sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle, police said. Jones’ body was found with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and side on a sidewalk, police said.

Who is responsible for the murder of Wilteeah Jones? Do feminists want to blame this violence against women on Republicans? Do feminists think Trump voters are committing atrocious crimes in Chicago? Please, go ask Amanda Marcotte and Jessica Valenti on Twitter about this.

This Should Scare You to Death

Posted on | March 7, 2017 | 1 Comment

From a left-wing “antifa” Tumblr blog:

Hi, I have been systematically barred from going to university because I had to withdraw from classes when I was mentally ill and untreated. I was schizophrenic and have borderline personality disorder, I didn’t know either of these things while I was at school, on top of that I was suffering from a kidney stone that was quite large, that also wasn’t diagnosed at the time so I didn’t know what the pain was from, and then my grandparents who uplifted me and helped raise me died within a month of each other:
so i was grieving, very mentally ill, and in a lot of pain. I could not finish the term of university, and by withdrawing they told me I owed them 12,590 dollars, I desperately want to go back to university, because I want to help contribute to society, currently I’m on SSI [disability money in the united states] and am not qualified to work any job without an education, its too physically and mentally demanding on me.
I am trying to raise $1000 dollars a month every month until I pay this off, so I can fulfill my dream of going back to school and contributing to my community in ways that I physically and mentally can. My dream is to become a professor, as well as learn how to make a charity for people of the internet in need, but cannot access funds because they can’t get enough support due to their lack of visibility.

Wonderful. You’re a schizophrenic with borderline personality disorder who is on federal disability for your mental illness and — this is scary — your “dream is to become a professor,” because obviously we don’t have enough lunatics teaching young people at our nation’s universities.

By the way, this kook who owes more than $12,000 was evidently enrolled at Oregon State University. While the mentally ill blogger doesn’t mention a major, Oregon State does have a Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program, and insanity is more or less a prerequisite.
