This is about all I've got to say about the American obsession with a political-charged historical rape case.

The Fog Of Bad Faith

There’s
a lot to unpack in the national psychodrama that played out in the
senate judiciary committee yesterday with Ford v.
Kavanaugh. Dr. Ford laid out what The New York Times is
calling the “appalling trauma” of her alleged treatment at the
hands of Brett Kavanaugh 36 years ago. And Mr. Kavanaugh denied it in
tears of rage.
Dr.
Ford scored points for showing up and playing her assigned role. She
didn’t add any validating evidence to her story, but she appeared
sincere. Judge Kavanaugh seemed to express a weepy
astonishment that the charge was ever laid on him, but unlike other
questionably-charged men in the grim history of the #Metoo
campaign he strayed from his assigned role of the
groveling apologist offering his neck to the
executioner, an unforgivable effrontery to his accusers.
The
committee majority’s choice to sub out the questioning to “sex
crime prosecutor” Rachel Mitchell was a pitiful bust, shining
a dim forensic light on the matter where hot halogen fog lamps might
have cut through the emotional murk. But in today’s social climate
of sexual hysteria, the “old white men” on the dais dared not
engage with the fragile-looking Dr. Ford, lest her head blow up in
the witness chair and splatter them with the guilt-of-the-ages. But
Ms. Mitchell hardly illuminated Dr. Ford’s disposition as a
teenager — like, what seemed to be her 15-year-old’s rush into an
adult world of drinking and consort with older boys — or some big
holes in her coming-forward decades later.
For
instance, a detail in the original tale, the “locked door.” It’s
a big deal when the two boys shoved her into the upstairs room, but
she escaped the room easily when, as alleged, Mark Judge jumped on
the bed bumping Mr. Kavanaugh off of her. It certainly sounds
melodramatic to say “they locked the door,” but it didn’t
really mean anything in the event.
Ms.
Mitchell also never got to the question of Dr. Ford’s whereabouts
in the late summer, when
the judiciary committee was led to believe by her handlers that she
was in California, though she was actually near Washington DC at her
parent’s beach house in Delaware, and Mr. Grassley, the committee
chair, could have easily dispatched investigators to meet with her
there. Instead, the Democrats on the committee put out a cockamamie
story about her fear of flying all the way from California - yet Ms.
Mitchell established that Mrs. Ford routinely flew long distances, to
Bali, for instance, on her surfing trips around the world.
Overall,
it was impossible to believe that Dr. Ford had not
experienced something with
somebody — or else why submit to such a grotesque public spectacle
— but the matter remains utterly unproved and probably
unprovable. Please
forgive me for saying I’m also not persuaded that the incident as
described by Dr. Ford was such an “appalling trauma” as alleged.
If the “party” actually happened, then one would have to assume
that 15-year-old Chrissie Blasey, as she was known then, went there
of her own volition looking for some kind of fun and excitement. She
found more than she bargained for when a boy sprawled on top of her
and tried to grope her breasts, grinding his hips against hers,
working to un-clothe her, with his pal watching and guffawing on the
sidelines — not exactly a suave approach, but a life-changing
trauma? Sorry,
it sounds conveniently hyperbolic to me.
I
suspect there is much more psychodrama in the life of Christine
Blasey Ford than we know of at this time. She
wasn’t raped and her story stops short of alleging an attempt at
rape, whoever was on top of her, though it is apparently now
established in the public mind (and the mainstream media) that it was
a rape attempt. But
according to #Metoo logic, every unhappy sexual incident is an
“appalling trauma” that must be avenged by destroying careers and
reputations
.
The
issues in the bigger picture concern a Democratic Party driven by
immense bad faith to any means that justify the defeat of this
Supreme Court nominee for reasons that everyone over nine-years-old
understands:
the fear that a majority conservative court will overturn Roe v. Wade
- despite Judge Kavanaugh’s
statement many times that it is “settled law.”
What
one senses beyond that, though, is the malign
spirit of the party’s last candidate for president in the 2016
election and a desperate crusade to continue litigating that
outcome until
the magic moment when a “blue tide” of midterm election victories
seals the ultimate victory over the detested alien in the White
House.

There
are reports that the Washington-initiated and militarily- supported
Saudi Arabian war against Yemen have a starving Yemeni population
eating
leaves. https://www.apnews.com/5a4645766b414fe59b5f00ca3e543bd9
The
Saudis, with Washington’s GPS support, continue to target school
busses, massacring children as an element of the terror assault
against the population, trying to break Yemeni resistance by
murdering children on school busses. Washington continues to supply
the Saudis with the weapons to target school buses and the diplomatic
support to protect the criminal Saudi regime from war crimes charges.
The European cowards turn their heads. Even Russia is silent.
Putin’s “partnership” with the criminal state of Saudi Arabia is more important.
Isn’t
this a far greater offense, an offense that most definitely does not
lack evidence, than the accusation that Kavanaugh, a nominee to the
US Supreme Court attempted to rape a women 30 or 40 years ago, for
which there is no evidence, only accusation, an accusation that the
female defense atttorney who questioned for the Senate committee the
woman claiming abuse found insufficient for an
indictment.
Of
course, this report could be fake news. As in America fake news has
taken over from truthful news, we have no way of knowing. All we can
conclude is that America has again made a world-wide fool of herself.
Thanks to the Identity Politics of the Clinton-corrupt Democratic
Party, in the eyes of the world America has assembled a Supreme Court
of serial sexual abusers. Makes one wonder why it is so important to
the Russian government that Russia joins the West.
If
Kavanaugh attempted to rape someone, why didn’t it come up in his
previous judgeship appointment or in his other appointments? Is the
reason that these appointtments were not relevant to Roe vs. Wade? Is
all the MeToo and Democratic Party hysteria over fear that Kavanaugh
will help a conservative court overturn Roe vs. Wade and force women
into more responsible sex?
I
have never understood why women have considered the termination of
life to be a Woman’s Issue as if it is some kind of moral cause.
However, I am certain that Roe vs. Wade will not be overturned. After
all these years, there are squatters’ rights in women’s ability
to choose abortion. The right has existed too long for statutory law
to override common law.
Perhaps,
instead, the opposition to Kavanaugh is that he is a white
heterosexual male, thereby making the time too delayed before the
Identity Politics Democrats can load up the Supreme Court with MeToo
feminists, transgendered whatever they are, lesbians, homosexuals,
and white-hating blacks
(see: https://www.rt.com/news/439571-conrad-music-video-kill-whites/ )
in order to “bring justice to the white male exploiter.”
It
was left to a Russian publication to ask why CNN published a fifth
accuser’s accusation after
the accuser had withdrawn the
accusation.
The
real question before the American people is why are they, the media,
the government, MeToo feminists, the Identity Politics Democrats and
liberal-progressive-left, and conservatives stone silent while
Washington enables Saudia Arabia to murder the Yemeni people to the
point that Yemenis have to eat leaves in a desperate attempt to
survive.
Clearly,
the American idiots have no idea whatsoever what a moral issue is.
