First off, breaking news: We received a confirmation from the Bar Counsel that corrupt and disgraced prosecutor Mary Kellett, who reports to Maine DA Carletta Bossano, is having a disciplinary hearing scheduled to take place on July 15 in Portland Maine before a Supreme Court Justice. If you or anyone you know wishes to attend and witness this historic hearing, here is its shedule and location:
http://www.mebaroverseers.org/discipline/upcoming_hearings.shtml
Rumor is they may try to start the hearing before the 10:00 scheduled time in order to prevent the public and reporters from arriving in time to cover events.
Portland has its own airport and it is also about 1.5 hours away from Boston, which also has a major international airport. It is also over 3 hours from Kellet’s home tertitory, the town of Bar Harbor Maine, presumably because this makes it easier for residents and media reporters in the Bar Harbor area to miss the event. We should not let that happen. Look for other stories on AVfM today and in the coming days to discuss this event in more detail, and if you think you can get there in a show of support against corrupt prosecutors, we urge you to attend. Contact John Hembling if you think you can attend.
You are a contemptible slimeball, Mary Kellet. How many innocent men are rotting in jail because of your lies, you loathsome excuse for a human being? If you are barred from ever practicing law again in your life, it is the lightest punishment you should get. Where you really belong is in jail, for a minimum of 3-5 years for every single man you falsely persecuted. Don’t think you’re going to be forgotten, no matter what type of slimy deal you try to cut your cronies at the Bar. And don’t think we’re going to forget your boss Carletta and your fellow employees at that corrupt office, either.
Anyway, anyone who can make it to the hearing should. And if they try to reschedule it, don’t worry about it: we’ll let you all know that so you can make arrangements to appear at the rescheduled hearing.
Now, on to other things you may have missed in the last week:
I’ve always liked Ally Fogg, but last week Paul indicated he was rather unhappy with Fogg’s recent writings on domestic violence. As much as I like Fogg, I have to say, denying that there is a domestic violence industry, and acting as if it isn’t Men’s Rights Activists who have brought to light the reality that violence against men by women is a serious issue, and it’s our fault somehow because our style is somehow what’s so problematic when our current style is the only thing historically that’s been proven to get attention to massive injustices, is a pretty low blow. I for one hope Ally keeps trying to open minds up in the little intellectual ghetto that is known as “FreeThought” Blogs, but he is after all hanging out with a bunch of hatemongering closed-minded bigots like Ophelia Benson and PZ Myers, so I’m not going to hold my breath.
By the way, speaking of PZ Myers, have we mentioned lately that he likes to tell rape jokes? Well just in case we hadn’t mentioned it before, we just thought we’d make sure you knew.
Diana Davison has been gracing our pages a lot of late with her wicked satire. In There can be only one, she amusingly poses a fantasy fight between disgraced former Australian Prime Minster Julia Gillard and Toronto’s own Big Red. My money was on Big Red all along, while Gillard can spew venom pretty well she’s just nowhere near as good at it as the Terror of Toronto.
Harry Crouch of the National Coalition for Men recently noticed that Phyllis Schlafley got it dead wrong. No shit Harry. A few of us had that figured out all along. You’re being entirely too nice to the old girl if you ask me!
We began wondering last week if Mary Kellett would slither her way into a backroom deal. As I think I mentioned earlier, it looks like we were right. Take this as another sign you might want to help do something about it.
Gonzo Historian Robert St. Estephe has returned yet again (hey, it’s almost like he’s a regular or something) with another entry from history you may have missed: Female serial killer bandits. You know, I recently saw a documentary on Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed as “history’s first female serial killer.” The documentary was good, but every time I heard that phrase I wanted to print out the collected works of Robert St. Estephe and beat whoever said that over the head with it mercilessly until they read every word.
The organization known as Human Rights Watch once had a lot of credibility, although they’ve rarely had much to say about the human rights violations of boys and men in particular. They have a special women’s rights department of course, but none for men and boys. Quelle surprise! With all the human rights violations for men and boys in the world, you’d think they’d have some time to think about it, but apparently, they’re more concerned about bikini waxing. No, we’re not making it up.
Have we found our first teenaged honeybadger? Aimee Nicholls may just be the one. Let’s hope she’s one of a whole wave of them. Two generations now have grown up under this corrupt, misandrist, child-abusing system in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The younger people are, the more likely they seem to be to notice. In my experience anyway.
So. You’re a feminist, and you’re “not like that.” You aren’t one of those haters. You actually hate the haters, the extremists. You aren’t part of the hate. OK. I’ll believe you. Under one condition: You unconditionally swear you agree with everything in this oath, all of it, parts 1-6. If you will, then welcome, my feminist friend. Otherwise, ask yourself why you never realized before that you believe hateful, ignorant things, and why you’re mad at us for pointing it out to you.
Male rites of passage: some cultures do them consciously. Some say we’ve forgotten them in our culture, but maybe some of us do them subconsciously? I never made naked snow angels, but I remember doing a few other things that didn’t seem to make sense at the time but now do.
A Voice for Men’s Editor-at-Large, Erin Pizzey, has written many a book. If you haven’t yet, you should buy and read her latest, This Way to the Revolution. It’s awesome. And after you order your copy of that, to tide you over, you should read her astounding 1982 suppressed book, “Prone to Violence,” which was so upsetting to gender ideologues it resulted in death threats, targeted thefts of the book from bookstores, and more. Fortunately, we recovered this classic bit of samizdat, and are presenting it to you now, one chapter at a time. Here is Prone to Violence, Chapter 1.
What happens when a beloved patriarch dies, even one you didn’t always have the best relationship with? Dr. F tells one such tale with Our Dad.
Dan Perrins was recently crushed to learn he traveled to Toronto for naught: Radfem hatemongers seem to have run away. Well there’s nothing more scary than a guy with a neckbeard and a camera. Especially an epic beard like Dan’s! (Think maybe the girls were just jealous they couldn’t grow one quite as nice as his?)
Last year one feminist made a half-assed weasely attempt to answer the debate question “Is feminism hate?” (We say it’s pretty hard for it not to be, though it might be possible.) Unfortunately the little feminist coward gave only one short statement and then noted that she would have no more to say. Pathetic. People who claim to be about equality should be willing to stand up for their ideas, shouldn’t they? In any case, this gave Girl Writes What a chance to explain in excruciating detail everything hateful she’s ever seen in feminism, including its most base assumptions. Here is Part 2 of her answer in the affirmative, for those of you who like to read and not watch videos (although the video is there too).
AVfM recently noted more feminists dismissing male victims of violence by the way. You’d almost think… no, it couldn’t be a… pattern? Naw, c’mon, it’s just a one-off, right?
Finally, remember the story of Judge Lori B. Jackson and the children of Lt. Col. Joel Kirk of West Virginia? Well guess what. Those children were not the only victims of a sadistic, and by the way, criminally incompetent and corrupt West Virginia judiciary. Little Matthew Hallburn is being bludgeoned by a judge seeking revenge. Your Honor, you’re not just a disgrace to the bench, you’re a disgrace as a human being. And by the way, you can expect to hear more about this case, and this judge, and some of the other members of judiciary in that pretty little state. For all the physical beauty of the Mountaineer state, apparently when a brother and a sister get married in West Virginia they give their progeny a black robe and a gavel. Oh, was that harsh? Well maybe the West Virginia Supreme Court will prove me wrong. Stay tuned.
AVfM Radio has of course continued to go strong. Robert O’Hara’s News and Activism show had a Free for all night, while Lucian and Co. looked at Academic Feminism. Erin and I, along with Andy Thomas of the new A Voice for Men UK (the new name for the old MRA London site) had some pretty good conversations, including some readings from and about Dr. Helen Smith’s terrific Men On Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters (although by the way, UK, Canadian, and other men from outside the US will probably recognize the same phenomena in their own nations). Unfortunately the show with Erin was plagued with technical difficulties during the first half, but there was lots of good discussion anyway.
Also as usual the video section is chock full of goodies, but of particular interest please check out the interview with our own Dr. Greg Canning, Dr. Helen Smith’s 6 reasons men don’t marry, Victor Zen’s Feeling over facts, and Sparky Fister’s Five stupid things about feminism videos. Plus of course everything done by JtO. 😉
Well that’s about it for this week. Hey, just a question: wouldn’t it really suck if every member of the West Virginia judiciary and every prosecutor in the state of Maine got angry whenever they heard the words “A Voice for Men?” That would really hurt my feelings. Wouldn’t it hurt yours?
See you in 7!
