National News See other National News Articles Title: Western Civilization No Longer Exists Societal Collapse awaits in the wings if climate change and nuclear war dont finish us off first The Cheney-Bush and Obama regimes destroyed due process, with the result that American citizens were detained in prison indefinitely without evidence and murdered without evidence or trial. In violation of US and international laws, the US government used torture to produce terrorists, who were not terrorists, in order to justify Washingtons wars, wars that have nothing whatsoever to do with fighting terrorism. The Democratic Partys Identity Politics successful demonization of white heterosexual males has made American universities unsafe for white heterosexual males. Any woman can accuse them of rape, and despite the absence of any evidence, and even in the face of complete evidence to the contrary, the university, in total violation of all known rules of due process, can convict the accusedindeed, conviction on accusation alone is mandatory in American universitiesand destroy the reputation of the accused along with his ability to continue his education. In the article below federal courts confronted with these mandatory university convictions of white males have overturned them, ruling against the universities violations of due process. The corrupt university administrations are serving Identity Politics, not justice. Just imagine that if the Democrats, who in their glory represented the working class, were to achieve political power and appoint federal judges. No white heterosexual male would be safe. Under the Democrats Identity Politics, white heterosexual males are automatically guilty. Due process is not needed. By definition, white heterosexual males are racists, misogynists, and rapists. No evidence is needed. I am waiting for the case when a white university female brings a rape case against a black university male. It will be interesting to see how the university chooses which side to take. In such a case we have two victims of white male supremacy. Which victim will prevail against the other victim. Will the university come down on the side of the protected black or on the side of the protected female? Or will the university decide that the rape was actually done by a white male pretending to be a black. This question illustrates the complete breakdown of American society. Most likely this deplorable situation is the case throughout the Western World. Society is so divided that there is no society there. And the idiot Russians want to join us! To be truthful, there is nothing left of Western civilization, and the fault is not Russias, Chinas, Irans, or Venezuelas. It is our own. We are an insouciant people, unconcerned, ignorant, worried only about unimportant things, kept ignorant and confused by a media that serves only the One Percent. The American people, indeed the people of the West, have no awareness that they are headed into total destruction, if not by climate change, if not by nuclear war, then by societal collapse. A Terrible College Case Shows The High Cost of Believe Women UC Santa Barbara Case Demonstrates Why By DAVID FRENCH October 13, 2018 5:30 AM There is no substitute for evidence and due process Through much of the last month, the American people have been treated to a version of the emotional and ideological argument thats dominated the American academy for much of the last ten years. The argument goes something like this: Women rarely lie about rape. Thus, the failure of criminal or civil justice systems to achieve overwhelming rates of conviction or impose liability at the rates of predation means that fundamental reform is mandatory. Consequently, we must make it easier for women to bring claims, protect them from the rigors of proving claims, and utilize decision-makers trained to understand and respond to the unique trauma of victims. Moreover, when considering sexual-assault claims outside of courts, understand that due process is less important when a mans liberty isnt at stake. After all, a campus court isnt a criminal trial. Its an evaluation of academic suitability. The result of this argument has been wholesale national reform part of it mandated by the Obama administrations Department of Education, and part of it willingly undertaken by colleges themselves that has caused universities to lower burdens of proof, channel serious claims into summary proceedings, restrict the ability to cross-examine witnesses, and even limit access to evidence in an effort to streamline the process of punishing sex offenders. Its been a disaster. From coast to coast, accused students typically men punished for sexual assault with barely a chance to defend themselves are filing lawsuits containing often-shocking claims. Judges, accustomed to the value of due process, often find themselves stunned at the unfairness of campus proceedings. And if you think that wrongful convictions for sexual assault arent serious because the men dont go to prison, well then talk to the young men whose careers and reputations are shattered before theyve had a chance to build a life. In the days after the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation, when the op-ed pages were still filled with examples of womens rage, a California state court of appeals handed down a decision in a case against the University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara that should remind us all of the high costs of a rush to judgment. It should remind us all of the value of due process. The facts of the case are relatively simple. After a night of drinking, a female student (Jane Roe) fell asleep on a mattress that was pressed up against a living room wall. Later that evening, a male student (John Doe) became intoxicated and lay down on the same mattress. She was under the covers. He was fully clothed on top of the covers, with his back to Jane. There were two eyewitnesses sitting on a couch, talking less than three feet away. Jane testified that she woke up to discover that John was molesting her. She was too terrified at first to cry out and then finally, when the assault ended, screamed for everyone to get out of the apartment. John denied the claims and instead claimed that he first heard Janes story when she woke [him] up by basically yelling about someone hurting her. The two eyewitnesses testified that it would be physically impossible and not physically possible for Janes claims to be correct. They saw Jane wake up confused, disoriented, and mumbling in foreign languages. They thought she was having a bad dream. Jane reported the alleged assault to police, and two days later submitted to an exam by the citys Sexual Assault Response Team. The police did not take any action against John. The university, however, did. After a hearing, it sentenced him to a two-year (eight-quarter) suspension. The university hearing was a carnival funhouse of due-process violations. First, the university allowed a detective to testify about a report that allegedly indicated that bruising/laceration [was] noted in the anal area without producing the actual report. The parts of the report the university did produce did not contain any such language. Moreover, the detective couldnt say whether the finding could have any other cause. Testifying about a report the accused wasnt able to see violates the best evidence rule an evidentiary standard that precludes oral testimony to prove the content of a writing. Thats basic stuff, yet it was only the beginning of the universitys problems. Next, the university only disclosed to John the day before the hearing the fact that Jane was taking an antidepressant called Viibryd. When John tried to ask Jane about the consequences of mixing Viibryd and alcohol, she declined to answer the question. When John tried to introduce evidence that Viibryd has many side-effects that become severe when alcohol is consumed . . . such as hallucinations and sleep paralysis and night terrors the university declined to consider it. The reason? He couldnt produce a qualified expert. As the court of appeals noted, this placed John in a catch-22; he learned the name of the medication Jane was taking too late to allow him to obtain an expert opinion, but the Committee precluded John from offering evidence of the side effects of Viibryd without an expert. And thats not all. John was forced to represent himself. His lawyer could only advise and support, but the university allowed its general counsel to actively participate and to make formal evidentiary objections. As a consequence, A student, whose counsel cannot actively participate, is set up for failure because he or she lacks the legal training and experience to respond effectively to formal evidentiary objections. So, lets review the university violated a basic rule of evidence, withheld key information from John until the day before the hearing, refused to let him question the accuser about that information, and then allowed its lawyer to render objections to Johns case. The courts conclusion was stinging: It is ironic, said the court that an institution of higher learning, where American history and government are taught, should stray so far from the principles that underlie our democracy. In other words, the university stacked the deck. It biased the proceedings against John, and in so doing violated his fundamental constitutional rights. Note that the court did not excuse these violations because it was ruling on a mere academic hearing. Bad processes hurt people, even when those bad processes dont result in prison. Im singling out the UCSB case simply because it is so recent. Its but one example among many. In fact, two weeks before the California court handed down its opinion, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in a case that Brooklyn College professor K. C. Johnson perhaps the nations foremost expert on Title IX adjudications called unusually troubling, even in the Title IX realm. The guilty finding led to a loss of the accused students ROTC scholarship and Navy career, after a process in which the accuser neither appeared at the hearing to speak and answer questions, but didnt even submit a statement to the hearing. (The evidence in the case was a Title IX investigators report and a statement written on the accusers behalf by a university counselor.) The complaint alleged that the accused student had no chance to present exculpatory witnesses, including a roommate who said that the alleged assault never occurred. As Judge [Amy Coney] Barrett noted, It was a credibility contest in which you not only did not hear directly from [the accuser], you didnt even read words that she had written. I wonder if that student is consoled that its only his Navy career at stake. The goal of any adjudication is justice, and centuries of experience have taught us that justice is elusive when due process is denied. We cannot have our culture believe that the way of the university is the way forward for our nation. The guiding principles should be clear. Respect women and hear their claims. But believe women? No, believe evidence, and give every accused a fair opportunity to defend his liberty, his education, and his career.

White heterosexual male will be safe when and if they decide enough is enough and take charge. Once they do, there is nothing the women can do about it. That was proven in Iran after the Shaw. The only protecting women have is the protection they receive from men. Men control the police and the military. If the vast majority of men wish, they can take away women's right to vote.
