Deranged Cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt Is Still Deranged and, Yes, Cyberstalking

Posted on | October 4, 2016 | 3 Comments

 

Let the reader search the archives here for mentions of Bill Schmalfeldt, and I believe you will discover that I have ignored him for more than two years, until I found today that Schmalfeldt was recycling a defamatory fraud from 2013 concerning myself and Karen the Lonely Conservative.

Now, given that I have ignored Schmalfeldt so long, and only took notice of him today because he was engaging in a false attack on me, which of us has suffered an unjust injury? (Hint: Not Bill Schmalfeldt.)

Alas, perhaps because of the hapless fool’s degenerative neurological condition, he seems incapable of comprehending basic facts, which would explain the idiotic email he sent me this afternoon:

To: Robert Stacy McCain
From: Bill Schmalfeldt <[email protected]>
Tue, 04 Oct 2016 16:02:27
Dear Mr. McCain:
This is my notice to you that I intend to hold you accountable for any and all future defamatory remarks. You are on notice. Calling me “deranged” is defamatory. It is not based on truth and it puts me in a false, negative light.
Calling me a “cyberstalker” is defamatory. Cyberstalking is a crime, both in Maryland and in Wisconsin. I have never been convicted of the crime of “cyberstalking,” so referring to me by that label is a malicious falsehood.
I am not an “adjudicated” anything. Peace orders and restraining orders are not an adjudication of guilt. They are, by law, an order to not engage in certain behaviors, not a finding that such behaviors have been proven. As I have never been convicted in a court of law for any crime, calling me an “adjudicated” criminal is a malicious falsehood.
I intend to hold you to this standard. If the things you allege are defamatory, and the truth or falsity can be proven, a false statement will be taken as defamation.
You are warned that I will not put up with this any longer.
Cease and Desist
William M. Schmalfeldt, Sr.
St. Francis, WI 53235

Thus the finest legal mind of Acme Law™ is convinced that my description of his condition (deranged) and his behavior (cyberstalking) has made him the victim of a tort (defamation) on my part. Certain that no court would ever agree with Mr. Schmalfeldt on this matter, I would be within my rights to reply, “F*** you, you demented old fool,” and leave it at that.

However, I thought it worthwhile to publish Mr. Schmalfeldt’s empty threat — “You are warned that I will not put up with this any longer” could easily be construed as a threat of some intended retaliation — so that everyone would know what Old Blubberhead is up to lately. The question is why, after two years, Mr. Schmalfeldt would suddenly renew his interest in me. My hunch is that it may be related to events described in “The Panic Is Pretty Obvious” by John Hoge.

According to Mr. Hoge, Schmalfeldt published a forgery that appears related to ongoing litigation between Aaron Walker and Brett Kimberlin. If Mr. Schmalfeldt was indeed part of that “panic,” perhaps he sought to divert attention from his blunder by stirring up some trouble with me. And if past is precedent, we may expect that The Neckless Troll will now begin escalating the pursuit of his zany obsession with me, all the while proclaiming himself to be the victim. Selah.

Strangely, Mr. Schmalfeldt seems to believe I have used the word “adjudicated” to describe him, which I have not. Having ceased to pay attention to him, I am unaware of the state of his legal affairs, and certainly did not use the word “cyberstalker” with the intention of making a criminal charge against him. Rather, I used the word in the colloquial sense — i.e., someone who uses Internet communications (“cyber-“) to maliciously pursue someone in an obsessive way (“stalking”). Mr. Schmalfeldt has certainly done that to me in the past, and has been subject to court action involving his online behavior toward others, so that describing him as a “cyberstalker” is to state a known fact, no more controversial than it would be to call him “bald” and “ugly.”

As for calling Mr. Schmalfeldt “deranged,” this is also non-controversial, as he is known to be afflicted with a debilitating disorder that can produce dementia. While I am not a mental health professional qualified to diagnose this condition, his behavior would certainly cause any observant person to believe Mr. Schmalfeldt is warped, wacky, cracked, twisted, berserk, mad, daft, off his rocker, nuttier than squirrel farts, Looney Tunes, a few fries short of a Happy Meal and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Indeed, one might list every synonym for “crazy” in Roget’s Thesaurus without fully describing how crazy Bill Schmalfledt is.

Karen the Lonely Conservative has taken notice of the latest craziness, and the “Billy Sez” blog also comments.

By the way, does anyone need to be reminded about Bill Schmalfeldt’s enthusiasm for anal rape? Because maybe some people forgot.

How Bill Schmalfeldt (@Leonidas_BU) Implicated Himself in Online Fraud

Posted on | October 4, 2016 | 8 Comments

In July 2012, my blog buddy Karen, The Lonely Conservative, described how she was targeted by a fake email, from someone impersonating my colleague Wombat, forwarding to her an email purportedly from me in which “I” wrote insulting things about Karen. This was two months after I began covering the Brett Kimberlin saga, and I suspected Kimberlin’s associate Neal Rauhauser as the perpetrator of that libelous fraud.

Yesterday, however, Kimberlin’s dimwitted henchman Bill Schmalfeldt posted on Twitter a message to Karen in which he included a screencap of that fraudulent July 2012 email, raising the question: “How did Bill come into possession of this, as it has never been published anywhere before?”

You see, during that episode, I cautioned Karen not to describe in any detail exactly how this fraud was perpetrated. To divulge the method used — which was fiendishly clever, actually — might encourage other evil people to use a similar ruse. The principal involved in keeping that under wraps is sort of like the suppression of The Anarchist Cookbook, a 1971 “how to” manual for political terrorism. There is no good reason for anyone to need to know techniques of criminal sabotage, bomb-making, etc., and so only bad people would be involved in the dissemination of such information. Therefore I never got into the details of this evil email hoax, and warned Karen to keep the methodology under wraps, which is why the email that Bill Schmalfeldt screencapped and sent out via Twitter had never been published anywhere before.

So how did Bill obtain this evidence of a criminal fraud?

Our friend John Hoge has questions of his own:

Seeing that tweet reminded me that the $1,000 reward I have offered leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who made the death threat against Karen. Karen received the threat against her within minutes of the time her name was signed to the SWATting threat I received on 29 October, 2012. The SWATting threat I received purporting to be from The Lonely Conservative, but was a forgery. I also received a forged email purporting to be from Stacy McCain from the same IP address within a few minutes of the SWATting threat.

Deranged cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt. You can Google that.

It’s Come to This: Male Students Trained to ‘Be Accountable to Feminism’

Posted on | October 4, 2016 | 3 Comments

It’s like the plot of a dystopian science fiction novel:

Duke University is creating a “safe space” for male students to pore over the ways in which their “toxic masculinities” create a harmful environment on campus and beyond.
The Men’s Project, which is sponsored by the Duke Women’s Center, aims to “create a space of brotherhood fellowship dedicated to interrogating male privilege and patriarchy as it exists in our lives, our campus and our society,” according to the university’s website.
The initiative’s leadership team consists of four students, including juniors Dipro Bhowmik and Alex Bressler. . . .
The curriculum is about “questioning how you can be accountable to feminism, to the women in your life and to the larger community,” [Bhowmik] told the Duke Chronicle, a student newspaper.

Annual tuition at Duke University is $51,265. And for that price, students receive professional-quality feminist brainwashing.

Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday: Tax Loopholes Edition

Posted on | October 2, 2016 | 3 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Lots of ginned-up controversy over Trump’s taxes this weekend, and from what I’ve seen on social media, the basic argument seems to be “My credits/deductions are good and right, but yours are bad and wrong!” which of course is nonsense, but this is the level to which the media have sunk in the waning days of our republic. As a necessary distraction from all the depressing news this week, I offer an attractive accountant for your consideration. Wasn’t easy to find this; apparently there’s a whole subgenre of accounting porn. Who knew?

‘The Fire Under All of This Smoke is … Barely Enough to Light a Cigar’

Posted on | October 2, 2016 | Comments Off on ‘The Fire Under All of This Smoke is … Barely Enough to Light a Cigar’

So says Jazz Shaw of Hot Air in addressing the “October surprise” of the New York Times report on Donald Trump’s taxes. What the Times seems to have done is to extrapolate from the documents it mysteriously obtained to guess about what might be found in documents it does not have. They assert that, because Trump reported major losses of business income in one year, therefore Trump could have avoided income taxes in subsequent years. This may be true, but we don’t know.

Those are today’s headlines at Memeorandum, and CNN’s going wall-to-wall on it, as if Trump were a cop who shot an unarmed black man. The unmistakable pro-Clinton cheerleading at CNN is the tip of a massive iceberg of liberal media bias in this campaign, which is arguably the secret of Trump’s success so far. Trump appeals directly to voters who don’t trust the media, so that whenever the media report something negative about Trump, his basic answer is always, “See? Media bias!”

Whether or not this will be enough for Trump to win the election, however, is the important question. The latest Fox News poll has Clinton leading by 5 points, 49%-44%, and the Real Clear Politics average of national polls show Clinton expanding her lead from a virtual dead heat on Sept. 19 (when it was Clinton 44.9%, Trump 44.0%) to 2.5 points (47.5%-45.0%) now. How much faith we can put in polls is always a matter of dispute, but the closer we get to Election Day, the more likely the polls actually do predict the vote. What the polls cannot predict, however, is whether some event between now and Nov. 8 — for example, a major terrorist attack — might cause voters to shift toward Trump. There are limits to how far media bias can help Democrats, and this election may yet demonstrate that fact. We shall wait and see . . .

The Death of a ‘Dianic High Priestess’

Posted on | October 1, 2016 | 3 Comments

“Wicca refers to the practice of European paganism popular throughout Europe and North America. . . . Dianic Wicca refers to a more radical women-only practice, named for the Goddess Diana. The novels of Marion Zimmer Bradley have been influential for Dianic Wiccans . . .”
— Meredith Miller, “Dianic Wicca,” in Historical Dictionary of Lesbian Literature (2006)

“Dianic Wicca is quite nearly a synonym for ‘lesbian paganism’ or ‘feminist witchcraft.’ It was founded by a crazy Hungarian-born woman known as Zsuzsanna Budapest who became a feminist, divorced her husband, abandoned her two sons and turned lesbian.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, “Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Son Describes Abuse by Feminist Pagan Fiction Author,” 2014

“I am a 56 year old Dyke Leather witch. … I am a member of the National Leather Association-Dallas. … I hold the titles of Ms. National Leather Association-International 1994 and Ms. Texas Leather Pride 1993.”
— Artemis Silverowl, 2013

“Gee, Stacy, where do you find this stuff?” People ask me this question whenever I stumble onto one of those really weird stories from the bizarre fringes of feminism, but really, isn’t feminism just one big weird pile of bizarre fringes? Still, sometimes my research turns up something so genuinely strange that even I am impressed by its weirdness, as was the case today when I found the 2013 obituary of an esteemed member of the Dallas chapter of the National Leather Association:

 

Last week the tragic news of the untimely death of Artemis Silverowl rocked both the Women’s and Leather communities. Artemis was a long time member of both, beginning in the early days of the “feminist wars in the 70s” . . . She leaves behind her fiancée, Denice, members of her Leather Families, and hundreds of other Leathermen and Leatherwomen.
To quote her own words from her bios, “I have been an out Dyke since 1975 and an OUT Leather woman since 1976. I came out as a dyke at the age of 18 years old and I came out as a leather woman at the age of 19 years old.”
A “Yankee” by birth, she was born in Massachusetts and began her involvement with the Dallas Leather in 1991. She served as the female co-chair of NLA-Dallas from 1992–1994 and was a member of the Beyond Vanilla Committee during the same period of time. . . .
In her profile, Artemis she wrote, “I firmly believe that the future growth and survival of the Bd/Sm/Leather/Fetish community depends upon coalition building, tolerance, integrity and service. We must become adept at respecting our differences while building bridges for our common good.” . . .
Artemis was also a Dianic High Priestess and member of the Wiccan community. Dianic Wicca, sometimes known as “feminist Wicca,” began in the 1970s as an outgrowth of both the feminist and “new age” movements. It worships Diana, the daughter of Jupiter and Latona, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Roman goddess of the hunt, wildlife, wilderness, childbirth, lakes and streams, roads and harbors, and the moon. She was also the goddess of protection of women and children. Dianic Wicca celebrates the feminine aspect of the divine and the aspect of the ”divine feminine.”

“Artemis Silverowl” was actually Cynthia Babbitt, the daughter of Fred and Doris Babbitt of Worcester, Massachusetts. “Silverowl”/Babbitt was an employee of the University of Texas-Austin, and her “life partner” Denice Wong was also evidently known as “La Lioness” in the Dallas “leather community.” There was a memorial service for “Silverowl”:

The memorial, held at the Interfaith Chapel of the Cathedral of Hope and attended by over one hundred people, included an honor guard which presented the gay pride and Leather pride flags. Artemis’ boots, vest and cover, along with a photograph of her, were displayed at the front of the chapel. The Honor Guard consisted of Sir Lacey, Terrie Anderson, Master Mack, Master Gator, Fred A., and Raven.
The service was officiated by koneko and paid tribute to Artemis’ Wiccan faith. Artemis’ fiancee, La Lioness, as well as long time friends Jim Richards, Hardy Haberman and Master Lanie, remembered Artemis as a strong, courageous and loving woman.

The tribute to “Silverowl”/Babbitt by “La Lioness”/Wong:

I’ll never resign myself to having lost you. I know that we shall meet again and continue with a new chapter in our book of life.
Artemis I know you loved me and that you never meant to hurt me. Your absence makes it difficult to breathe.
I understand now the significance of your final destination. The river from which you came has reclaimed you to heal you emptiness, loneliness and brokenness. I now know that you had to go because this was not a place for a soul a like yours.
The life and love that we shared flows to be depths of our souls. I am a better person because of the unconditional love that we shared and the spirit of forgiveness that blossomed within our relationship.

What more can we say about Cynthia “Artemis Silverowl” Babbitt, “Dianic High Priestess and member of the Wiccan community”? Perhaps it would be appropriate to quote her own self-description:

“I am a decidedly butch woman.
I am an alpha slave who identifies as a boy. …
I am a switch and I am a pansexual player.”

A fitting epitaph for the “Dyke Leather witch” who believed in “the future growth and survival of the Bd/Sm/Leather/Fetish community.”
