The Duke Lacrosse Three

There have been some recent comments to two linked articles I posted in 2009 Balancing Prosecutions- Rape, Lies  and Academia and Balancing Prosecutions - revisiting Duke Lacrosse, which most readers may have missed unless they subscribed to those threads, but which I felt deserved a wider readership. The Duke Lacrosse case was a very important event because the forces ranged against the white race, and in particular white males, exposed their true agenda.  They bared their teeth and, albeit only briefly were forced into the open, we saw their nakedness, we saw their hate, and it was an ugly sight.

The media, the law and academia attempted the blood sacrifice of three innocent young men on the alter of their genocidal agenda, they almost succeeded, but for once they were caught in the act.  

It happened in America, but it could have happened anywhere in the besieged western world.  We should remember the Duke Lacrosse case, because it shows us how much they hate us, and what we are really up against.  This is the reason I return to it so often:

The following comments were received earlier this week

Anonymous: June 24 16:23

Mangum, the hoaxer, was charged with attempted murder in 2010.

In 2011 she did manage to murder someone.

"It's Crystal Magnum. THE Crystal Magnum," he told the emergency operator. "I told him she was trouble from the damn beginning."

Much of the media still cannot be bothered to get her name right.

She'd been involved with the courts before. One night in 2002, she lifted a taxi driver's keys while giving him a lap dance. With a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit, Mangum then stole the cab. Police chased her through the city; she was eventually arrested, but not before nearly running over a cop as he approached her car.

 At 17, she told police that three men had raped her when she was 14, but the case was dropped when she didn't follow through with the authorities. Her father later told reporters that he didn't believe that she'd been raped then.

Also of interest is Tara Levicy.

Tara Levicy, the nurse who reported on the condition of Crystal Mangum after the alleged rape, shrugged off the absence of physical evidence of assault and the lack of lacrosse-player DNA with a feminist slogan: "Rape is about power, not passion."

She was also a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner in training. She was not qualified to do the job she was asked to do.

For example she could not explain why if the perpetrators had not used condoms she had none of their semen in her but she had semen from other men.

False rape claims are not about justice but power.

Michael Nifong, whose parents had gone to Duke, was known for his hatred of Duke University and its students. According to Patsy McDonald, a law school classmate, he also had a "deep-seated antipathy to lacrosse players."

The Lacrosse season was cancelled and the coach was sacked before being reinstated.

Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann are indicted for the sexual assault and kidnapping of Crystal Mangum. They turn themselves into authorities at the back of the Durham County Jail. They were handcuffed and driven 15 yards to the front of the jail, where they were then paraded in front of waiting camera crews.

Richard Brodhead makes an appearance at the Durham Chamber of Commerce meeting, two days after Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty are arrested. WRAL-TV quotes Brodhead as saying, “If our students did what is alleged, it is appalling to the worst degree. If they didn’t do it, whatever they did is bad enough." So not committing a crime is .. a crime?

A black guy sacked from a TV programme (was it because he did not toe the line?) and Selena Roberts (who was part of the misleaders) got his job.

How many of these rentamob protesters had heard of Rakheem Bolton?

Where were the slutwalkers, the sloganeers, the group of 88, and other "concerned citizens" complaining that someone said that his victim "made him rape her"?

"Rape is about power, not passion." (But will be ignored when white devil woman is the victim?)

Anonymous: June 25th 11:18 

"so called feminists, for whom the protection of women was clearly not a priority."

As we see in the Hilaire S. case in Texas where nobody has criticised a school for kicking a cheerleader off the squad who refused to cheer for her rapist.

Selena Roberts et al must have been very busy not to notice this.

Honoring One of the Perpetrators at Duke

Peter Wood Duke (Hate 88) Faculty member

By KC Johnson

Each year, the American Historical Association---the nation's leading professional organization of historians---confers the Eugene Asher Distinguished Teaching Award, which "recognizes inspiring teachers whose techniques and mastery of subject matter made a lasting impression and substantial difference to students of history." At the 2011 annual conference (held January 4-7 week in Boston), the AHA will add recently-retired Duke professor Peter Wood to the Asher Award's list of "inspiring" teachers of history.

For those who followed the lacrosse case, Wood needs no introduction; he was among the most outspoken anti-lacrosse members of the Duke faculty. Wood's commentary, however, differed from that of other anti-lacrosse extremists, most of whose public remarks focused on assumptions of guilt about the criminal case (the Group of 88's statement) or race-baiting demagoguery. Wood, on the other hand, tended to use the lacrosse case to speak out about the character of students in his classes. He did so through a string of statements that contained stereotyped, malicious, or evidence-free things about his own students. That such a figure could subsequently win an award specifically designed for "inspiring" students in his classes is nothing short of astonishing.

KC Johnson's blog on the Duke Lacrosse hoax is "Durham in Wonderland"

Who's listening now?

Duke University - Durham North Carolina

I am not sure if many of you managed to read my posting about the Duke Lacrosse case, it was particularly long, but I had a lot to say about the subject. In this respect, I make no apology for repeating below some points which I have made a number of times before, these are important facts which need to be repeated and remembered,

I take the view that the Duke Lacrosse case, or the Duke Lacrosse Hoax as it came to be known, gives us a very important warning of what is actually happening in Western society, where our media and the academics who teach our children are conspiring to create a completely false world view where the politically correct lies they tell in the pages of their news papers and in our nations class rooms become accepted as reality.

They seek to create an illusion, a parallel world, populated by evil, racist, white criminals and innocent, honourable, black victims in order to promote their own political agenda. In fairness, they have been very successful and there are many people who genuinely believe the lies they are told despite the evidence of their own eyes. They have achieved this by seizing upon “examples” which support their argument then they inflate them out of all proportion and repeat them over and over again, year after year after year in order to obscure all the other examples which do not support their agenda.

In Britain, we have their cherished example of the unsolved murder, seventeen years ago this April, of Stephen Lawrence, killed by a single stab wound at a South London bus stop, allegedly by a gang of white youths. As with all murders Stephen Lawrence's killing was a tragedy, and if his killers are the white youths accused of murder by a national newspaper, but never convicted by a court, they deserve to be punished.

However, the Lawrence killing, which is in fact the exception from the norm, has been exploited relentlessly over the last seventeen years in an attempt to prove that an aberration is representative of a wider truth. Stephen Lawrence who's behaviour in life does not bear comfortable close scrutiny, has been transformed Mandela like, into a sainted martyr with repeated memorials to him, great glass fronted tax-payer funded shrines have been erected in his name and now I find there is even a Stephen Lawrence prize for Architecture

Let us not forget the Stalinist MacPhearson report resulting from Lawrence's death which Frank Ellis analysed on this blog earlier this month

Meanwhile far more numerous and vicious murders, such as that of Charlene Downes, who's body was almost certainly fed to the people of Preston as kebab meat, and the indescribably horrible killing of 14 year old Kriss Donald, terrorised, stabbed, blinded, castrated and finally set on fire whilst still alive, after having been snatched at random from the street by an Asian gang in search of a white boy to torture and kill, are deliberately erased from the public memory.

This does not just happen in Britain, across the world single white crimes are used to hide the truth of mass black or brown crime. An example being South Africa, where the world knows that a group of white boys filmed themselves pretending to urinate into a stew later fed to elderly black women, but almost nobody knows of the elderly white women, Alice and Helen Lotter, who died after slow and terrible torture, during which shards of broken glass were forced into their vaginas and their breasts were cut off and used to write anti white slogans on the walls in blood.

In America, where horrific hate crimes against whites are, as with South Africa, routine events, there are far more such events which need to be erased from the public memory, and they too have their tiny collection of much cherished specimen cases, which they use, together with text books full of legends, to deliberately obscure the appalling truth of white victimisation by non-whites which is the reality of modern urban America.

The most treasured of these is the truly horrific killing of James Byrd Jnr., when three white men, one of whom had been repeatedly raped by black men in prison, tied him to the back of their car and dragged him to his death. It is a truly horrible case.

However it was no more horrible than the crimes committed by the Carr Brothers in Wichita the killings of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom or the Pearcy Massacre .... you hadn't heard of that one? Its the latest black on white atrocity which the media are trying to hide from the world. In any event a single act of white violence can not indefinitely cover up the fact that more white Americans have died at the hands of blacks since the end of the civil rights movement than were victims of the Korean war, hence the endless hunt for the great white race crime continues.

Even more than murder the left need to counterbalance the fact that around 100 white women are raped by black men for every one black women raped by whites. That's in a good year, in 2005 Department of Justice report on Criminal Victimization in the United States showed that 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, that year while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.

That was why when in March 2006 a black stripper accused three members of the very white North Carolina Duke University Lacrosse team of raping here at a party attended by most of the 99% white players the Liberal left wing went into a frenzy of delight.

I will not revisit the details of the Duke Lacrosse Hoax here, readers with an hour or so to kill can read the facts in my overly long posting from last year.

Instead I will focus on the behaviour of one group. Amongst the shrill guilt presuming mob of bigots baying for the blood of three innocent white boys were 88 members of the Duke University faculty who must have thought all their Christmases had come at once. This group, primarily made up from the Departments such as African American studies or Women's studies, who have a vested interest in portraying white males as oppressors, got together and issued what they called “The Listening Statement” which was published on the Duke University African American Studies Website. Although the statement was later taken down when the player's innocence became more obvious, a copy was taken and can be viewed on the Johnsville News website, by clicking here

The statement was a clear statement of the players presumed guilt and of alleged white power and racism. It thanked those (presumably the mobs of radical feminists and white hating black racists who laid siege to the Lacrosse team campus house) who did not wait for evidence before assuming guilt, for “not waiting” and included various anonymous and unattributed statements allegedly made by unnamed non-white students bewailing the white racism they faced every day.

These students are shouting and whispering about what happened to this young woman and to themselves.

. . .We want the absence of terror. But we don’t really know what that means . . . We can’t think. That’s why we’re so silent; we can’t think about what’s on the other side of this. Terror robs you of language and you need language for the healing to begin.

This is not a different experience for us here at DukeUniversity. We go to class with racist classmates, we go to gym with people who are racists....It’s part of the experience.

(you get the picture?)

The listening statement was nothing less than a head on attack by a group of hate fuelled and agenda driven professors against their own students. Clearly the Stripper's allegations had pressed every button and blown every whistle in left wing academia's toy box.

True to the complete lack of courage or integrity which personifies such people, with a few honourable exceptions, virtually none of the faculty lynch mob have ever apologised for the Listening Statement even when it became clear that no rape had ever taken place, and the players were publicly declared innocent.

The latest developments in the case took place last week when the stripper who made the allegations was arrested following a domestic incident resulting in her facing charges of child abuse, arson and attempted murder. Details of the arrest can be read here and here although seemingly not on CNN despite the ferocity with which they, and in particular their resident inquisitor, the rottweiler like Nancy Grace pursued the case when there was still hope that an innocent player might be convicted,

I will not presume to judge the guilt or innocence of the one time Duke lacrosse accuser, however. Let us hope that this dangerous and deeply damaged woman now receives the medical help she so clearly needs, and that she is not allowed back into the community until she can no longer do such great harm to so many people.

Following the stripper's arrest, Joan Foster, one of the writers from LieStoppers a website which faithfully followed the case has issued her own version of the Listening Statement in response to the Duke University faculty 88 which I have taken the liberty of reproducing below:

The LieStoppers Listening Statement
By Joan Foster

To the Gang of 88....

It is WE who are listening now.

We are listening to the fear in the voice of a nine year old child. We are listening to the rage of a 32 year old woman...who has in the past attempted to run down a police officer with a stolen vehicle, jail three innocent young men for 30-40 years with her lies, and has now set an apartment on fire and threatened a lover in the presence of her children. She has never been held accountable. We are listening to the ranting of an untreated custodial parent of three minor children. We are listening to the Durham community, to Duke, and to all who may be unfortunate enough to someday be the target of her rage and/or reckless accusations. Her volatility and the deliberate avoidance by those in power to impose ANY treatment and or accountability is a social disaster.

But we know it isn't just Ms. Magnum who created this situation.. It isn't just the disbarred "rogue prosecutor" Nifong. It is ALL of you enablers that allow her to endanger her children, our children and even yourselves.

YOU are the authors, implementers and high priests of this outrage. You created a pious cloud of historical racial "payment-due"... to enshroud from Magnum from her present day crimes and consequences. You shifted the responsibility for her lies to her victims because of their color and their class. You intentionally imbued Mangum with some mythical righteousness. You left the truth and true justice behind in your quest to further your own funding, importance and world view.

That is a true SOCIAL DISASTER.

You are too morally ignorant to acknowledge it...But it is a disaster nonetheless.

Many, many people all over the world are reading the news this week and once again, shouting and whispering about what happened to Collin , Reade, and Dave almost four years ago...and to Crystal's young children and the man she attacked IN THEIR PRESENCE this week. We hear her child on the 9-11 call begging for police intervention. We hear unmitigated insanity in the background. We read of fires set while her minor children are watching and at risk. We wonder what kind of daily Hell the political entities in Durham and North Carolina... under the influence of your over-reaching PC mindset.... have imposed upon these young children?

That fear in that little girl's voice is not from any unpleasant encounter on a college campus or at a fraternity party....the only incidents your listening ears or "sensitive" minds seem capable of absorbing. That fear is from being the forgotten victims in the most horrific example of your warped Universe of political correctness and unending racial hyperbole: the Duke Lacrosse Frame. You put yourselves out there, immediately...before you had any information or knowledge other than an accusation and the color of the accuser's skin. Immediately, you risked the reputations and even the very real legal jeopardy of your own students, to pimp a racial fairy tale. We listened to you, in many venues...over and over and over for months. You hectored our children in class. You harangued about white privilege in every medium. Yet Mangum stands as an undeniable example of political Black privilege. Her False accusations, her crimes have had no accountability. The false persona you created for her of the brilliant Magna Cum Laude student , shy, resilient, "new to dancing"...allows her to write books and perpetuate falsehoods...but also prevents her from getting the real mental and medical help ahe needs.

Her children bear the real burden of this.


The centerpiece of the fairy tale was that Crystal Mangum was not only the Lacrosse team's victim, but a victim of all the ills of society as well. Therefore, Mangum's lifestyle, her choices, her criminal record, her substance abuse, her mental illness...were not relevant or to be factored into the adjudication of the Hoax. Immediately and in your writings and statements afterward, you demanded legal and political entities likewise shroud Sister Survivor in your sympathetic bias. You silenced reality and therefore you attempted to hijack justice. You failed in regard to the Lacrosse team. But you tragically won..in regard to Mangum's minor children. They stay in what passes for her "care." They live in a state of daily perpetual risk because the self-enriching PC metanarrative of people like the 88 of YOU.. demands society create some special racial nobility for their Mother that negates her having any accountability or even self-respect.

What do we want? . . .We want the absence of terror for Crystal's children. AND we DO really know what that means . . . We can remember the terror of the Lacrosse families. That’s why we’re CANNOT be silent and allow your guilt to fade; we cannot ever allow to be forgotten the absurd metanarrative you Listeners spun about the Lacrosse case in your public statements, your op-eds, your letters to the Editor. YOUR mythology about Crystal Mangum is the lie that enables Crystal , the magna cum laude graduate of NCCU, to present to her children , day after day, her personal example of how to "get by" and know that "scholars" like you deem that past societal ills make Mangum forever entitled to be society's burden. For her children, left in her care, your mythology may well rob them of REALITY of her illness and understanding of her crimes and mistakes...and they need that understanding to protect themselves, respect themselves and for "the healing to begin. "1

You never "listened.

You SAW.

You saw her color.

You wrote: "We go to class with racist classmates, we go to gym with people who are racists....It’s part of the experience."

You might well have included ""We teach with fellow racists"...because by pre-judging (as in "prejudice"), by "not waiting", by insisting a troubled woman be made into a obscene Myth of Black virtue...you personified racism in a way that will reverberate wherever the story of the Duke Lacrosse Frame is told.

You wrote in despair of your students, not "finding a voice" One of your lot called these innocent young men "farm animals" in an email to one of their Mothers. His shame is shared equally by every one of you...who could not "find a voice" to condemn him or even mildly critique him. Your own fear of showing too much integrity in the presence of your peers rendered you mute before an amazed and disgusted world.

You wrote this:

"If it turns out that these students are guilty, I want them expelled. But their expulsion will only bring resolution to this case and not the bigger problem. This is much bigger than them and throwing them out will not solve the problem. I want the administration to acknowledge what is going on and how bad it is. "

"These students" were NOT guilty but none of you ever had the grace or moral fortitude to apologize. But now it's past time for all of you to admit "how bad it is." at Duke. Your stampede to judgment, your closed-mind-angry-studies, crying-in-your-imported-beer perpetuate-the-problem-for-job-security mindset....keeps all of us from the post-racial era we deserve. It almost cost three innocent kids their lifetime in jail. It is surely costing Mangum's innocent offspring any chance at normal, safe, un-chaotic childhoods. It's past time for the 88 of you to man up and demand that Durham revoke Mangum's racial free pass...her unending "get-out-of-jail-free card. It's time you demanded that Duke and Durham and all the rest of those young minds ... that YOU indoctrinated... understand it's time to move past the bitter cornerstone of your "profession."

Get over the past. Get over yourselves.

We left our white guilt at the courtroom door "LISTENING" to the Black Panthers screaming "Die Racist!" at Reade Seligman. It is our mindset, not yours, that is most aligned with President Obama's post-racial goals. Teach the accomplishments, the glory, every piece of history that gratifies your race...but stop perpetuating bitterness. Stop dividing us. Your Listening Ad was the penultimate example of your selective sensitivity, your bias, your concrete hard "identity-blinders" that see ONLY skin hue first.

YOU are the today's archetypical pot-bellied Sheriff of the Old South: Crystal's color was the only "evidence" you needed to give absolute credence to her lies.

That is the instantaneous racial bigotry that caused you to rush to print and thank others "for not waiting."

Now, it's time YOU "listened" to that 911 call and DEMANDED a safe living environment, not for your coddled tenured carcasses, but for the most vulnerable of all...Mangum's children.

You wrote, and published and advocated for "Sister Survivor." We saw and heard from you constantly, on NPR, Nancy Grace...any venue you could find, as you sought to hold the "Farm Animals" accountable.

It's time to hold Crystal Gayle Mangum accountable. If any one of you have a conscience, speak out, buy another ad with Duke funds. Send your lackey Brodhead out to apologize for your past mistakes and his own.

Ask yourselves...will Mangum's children survive in the political legal SOCIAL DISASTER you helped create.... and perpetuate in your classrooms every day?

We're listening.

Are you?

Balancing Prosecutions – Part 3 – Revisiting Duke Lacrosse

(For the sake of context I hope that readers will also read parts one and two of this series of essays.)

In the third and final part of this series I am going to look at what became known as the Duke Lacrosse Hoax. The facts of the case are somewhat less dramatic than was the reaction to it, however, as readers in Europe may not be as familiar with the case as those in America, In will start with a brief summary.

It all started at a spring break party arranged by members of the men's lacrosse team North Carolina's prestigious Duke university, on the evening of March 13 2006. Spring break parties take place at Universities and colleges across America at that time of year and are attended by students of both sexes and numerous racial groups. There are any number of web sites set up for the purpose of displaying pictures and videos of what goes on at these parties, I shall demure from linking to any out of consideration for the blood pressure of some of my readers, but it is safe to say that the antics can be quite lively.

There are very few such parties where, what we might consider to be America's somewhat draconian laws on under aged drinking are not widely broken. Many parties will arrange entertainment, which can include adult movies, and the hiring of male or female strippers, depending on the gender or sexual proclivities of those throwing the parties.

These are not events to which it would be wise to invite an elderly vicar or your maiden aunt from Rhyl, unless the old girl is particularly game. That said, in fairness it has to be noted such events are enjoyed by thousands upon thousands of healthy young Americans of all races, sexes and inclinations each year. However, acknowledging this fact was not a fairness which the US media or many left wing academics chose to grant to the Duke University men's lacrosse team.

The lacrosse team, had a reputation for lively behaviour and under aged drinking, but as I shall show later in this article, they were not the out of control louts which the local police, many of their university professors and national media sought to portray them. However, on that night two of the captains unwisely decided to include some entertainment at the party, by hiring some exotic dancers. One of them then telephoned an agency and booked two white strippers.

Despite the terms of the booking, the agency in fact sent two black women, one of whom would subsequently make the accusations which placed three young in dire peril.

Even though the dancers did not match the booking, the players paid them the $800 which had been agreed. Everyone then went into the lounge, where the dancers began to perform their “exotic dance”. After that, there is some debate as to what happened in the relatively short period during which the women were in the house which the team captains rented. It is claimed by many who were present that the woman who would later claim she was raped was somewhat incapacitated either by alcohol or narcotics, claims which are, to some extent, supported by photographs taken at the time which do suggest that she may have been somewhat unstable on her feet.

The pictures are also revealing when one notes the posture of the lacrosse players, who appear to be sitting around politely watching the women dance. I don't know what you see, but I am certainly can not see the leering, jeering satyrs of popular legend which press reports later sought to evoke.

The women stopped dancing after approximately two to a maximum of three minutes, the second women later claimed that she had taken offence to a smutty comment made by one of the players, after which both women refused to continue dancing. Again there are differing accounts as to what occurred. Certainly some of the players, including two who would later be charged with rape, had found the event rather distasteful and decided to leave, whilst others felt they had been ripped off, and were concerned that they had paid out $800 for less than three minutes of entertainment.

The accuser later complained that her money was missing, and it is possible that one or more of the players, although not one who was later charged, took their money back. I have seen no convincing evidence either way, and it is certainly true that an extremely hostile Durham police Department never attempted to bring charges against anyone in this respect. I do not know what happened, and give notice here that I will not accept comments from anyone who claims that if any money was taken back, this either constituted a crime or was equivalent in law or malice to either gang rape or false rape allegations. There is no comparison, and anyone who argues otherwise, as some have tried, shames themselves.

As the women left the house at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd tempers became frayed and some sharp words were exchanged and one of the boys, again not one of those who later faced charges, made the mistake of using the infamous “N” word, although, he did not do so until after the second dancer had accused the players of being “Skinny dicked white boys”. Another player made a somewhat obscure comment asking the women to thank their grandparents for his “fine cotton shirt” which the media later determined to be a reference to slavery and therefore condemned the team to lasting allegations of racism.

Naturally a black woman in her thirties calling a teen aged white man a “Skinny dicked white boy” was not viewed in the same light.

What is now without doubt about the events at 619 N Buchanan Blvd on March 13 2006 is what did not happen. There was no violence, and most certainly there was no gang rape.

However, a few hours later, after the second dancer had called the police to remove the first dancer from her car, the first dancer made the first of a series of wildly varying allegations of various types of sexual assault by a regularly changing combination of white men, and the Duke Lacrosse rape hoax was born.

You will note, up to this point, I have chosen not to name any of those involved. Their names can be found via links in this article, and are easy to find, however, I don't consider their identities to be relevant to the points I am making, nor is it fair to name them again three and a half years after the event. The defendants names have been aired in public so often that they will forever be associated with a crime they did not commit, and I will not add to that injustice. Even the false accuser, who may well be mentally ill, is only relevant in so far as she made the allegations and those allegations were proved false, whether those allegations were made though malice or madness is of no significance.

What is of significance is how those who should have known better, those who's job it is to protect, teach or inform society dealt with her allegations, and what their motives were for doing so. To those people, the ones who exploited the lies of a mad woman for their own ends and for the sake of a political ideology, I will not extend the same right of anonymity.

Of those, the person usually held primarily responsible for the attempted railroading of the three members of the Duke Lacrosse team who were charged with a crime that never happened, was the local district attorney, Michael Nifong, who was subsequently disbarred in June 2007 following a series of ethical and prosecutorial abuse he committed in relation to this case . These abuses included the issuing of numerous prejudicial, guilt presuming and misleading statements to the press regarding the accused, he effectively took control of the case, and allegedly persuaded the local Durham police to violate their own identification processes to assist the accuser in identifying lacrosse players as her attackers, after she had failed to do so on a number of occasions. (the police only included pictures of lacrosse players in the photographs shown to the accuser, and she was told this, so she knew there were no wrong answers).

Most serious of all, Nifong conspired with the owner of a local laboratory to hide from the media, the court, and of course, the defence, the fact that although, as he did acknowledge, no DNA relating to any of the lacrosse players was found on the accuser, other DNA relating to at least five other unidentified males, not including her boyfriend, had been found in the woman's various body orifices and underwear.

This, of course was compelling evidence of innocence, especially as the accuser had claimed that her “attackers” did not use condoms, and that she had not had sex for at least a week before the “attack”. By seeking to hide it the Durham DA was guilty of serious misconduct. This led not only to his disbarment, but a prison sentence, although shockingly only for one day readers can speculate quite how long he might have served had his misconduct put innocent non-white defendants at risk.

Nifong had his own motives for what he did. As District Attorney, he was shortly to face an election, which, before the dancer made her allegations, he, as a white man, was not expected to win. To be re-elected as DA in Durham he needed the support of the large black community, who had long resented the, as they saw it, “privileged” white Duke students on their doorstep. As soon as the allegations surfaced, this community were demanding arrests, and Nifong not only gave them arrests, but he also gave them plenty of guilt presuming, anti white rhetoric to send them to bed happy.

Amongst his statements to the press he said "In this case, where you have the act of rape -- essentially a gang rape -- is bad enough in and of itself, but when it's made with racial epithets against the victim, I mean, it's just absolutely unconscionable"; and "The contempt that was shown for the victim, based on her race was totally abhorrent. It adds another layer of rephrensibleness (sic), to a crime that is already reprehensible." Despite the fact that, within days he must have realised that the accusers claims were, at best, questionable, he continued to call the players “hooligans” and went on to state, "The thing that most of us found so abhorrent, and the reason I decided to take it over myself, was the combination of gang-like rape activity accompanied by the racial slurs and general racial hostility."

Clearly intending to play the race card to the bitter end he stated "I'm not going to let Durham's view in the minds of the world to be a bunch of lacrosse players from Duke raping a black girl." Attending a meeting at the predominantly black North Carolina State University, where feelings were already running high about the case, Nifong placed himself squarely on the side of the black community by announcing "I assure you by my presence here that this case is not over."

All this was said, you will remember, about a crime which never occurred, and which Nifong must have known probably never occurred. He certainly must have known there was no evidence it occurred, apart from the accuser's ever changing account of events. At one point The dancer claimed she had been attacked by 20 men, at others she said five and later three men had raped her. In a further account she said the second dancer had assisted in the rape, whilst at another time she alleged that the second dancer had also been assaulted.

Also, before the police changed their identification procedures she had continued to identify a player who had been many miles from Durham on the night of the attack, as one of her assailants. In addition the dancer had a record of instability, and had made similar claims against a group of black men only a few years previously. She was not, by any stretch of the imagination, the credible witness upon who's testimony a prosecutor could safely base such inflammatory statements, yet the DA continued to make them.

I need not tell you what would have happened had a public official attempted to whip up racial animosity against blacks within a white community. However, no American politician has lost out from playing to black racism in the last 50 years and naturally Nifong romped home with a commanding percentage of the vote in the election held that November.

To find further evidence of the Durham electorate's racial loyalty one need look no further than the fact that even after a disgraced Nifong had been forced to stand down, and the accused players officially exonerated, the people of Durham went on to elect Tracey Cline, Nifong's black assistant DA to replace him, despite her own questionable involvement in the same prosecution.

It was not just the black community which behaved dishonourably or in a manner open to question. They were motivated by bigotry, racial animosity and. like Nifong, self interest, the behaviour of others was less easy to categorise.

Within hours of the dancer's claims becoming public, across America, it was as if a switch had been turned on and people from first Durham and then wider America began en masse to behave like pre-programmed jihadis reacting to a stimulus planted deep within a psyche. It was as if a million secret sleeper cells had awoken to a long promised event and were responding as they had been taught to do.

Durham and the Duke university campus were witness to candle lit gatherings attended by hundreds who chanted “We believe her, we believe her, we believe her”, Websites were set up declaring solidarity with the accuser and belief in her claims. Chat rooms and message boards buzzed with people convinced of the players guilt, and accusations of “racism” aimed at anyone cautioning against a rush to judgement.

Like in some over imaginative liberal's pre-civil rights fantasy, but with white targets, groups of people, calling themselves “concerned members of the Duke and Durham community”, but whom history will forever call “The pot-bangers”, and who's activities can be viewed on You tube here and here arrived outside the team captain's house. Singing songs of solidarity with the false accuser and banging a variety kitchen implements together. They demanded immediate confessions from the players, whilst simultaneously insisting they should be castrated and, presumably, raped, assuming I have correctly interpreted the words “Measure for Measure” emblazoned upon their banners.

In addition, a flyer, closely resembling a wanted poster, bearing the faces of the members of the lacrosse team was printed and pasted on trees and fences across the Duke campus and surrounding neighbourhood.

This was by no means the first time that similar allegations had been made against a team of American sportsmen, including previous charges of interracial rape, yet these had never led to similar scenes. This was however the first time that the allegations had been made by a black woman against a group of white sportsmen.

This, of course, was the point. Clearly sensing that the teachable moment which would support them well into retirement had arrived, no less that 88 members of the Duke University faculty, mostly professors within the “humanities” departments, such as Women's studies and African American history, came out in support of the protesters. They jointly published an advertisement in the Duke University magazine entitled “What does a Social Disaster sound like?” in which they expressed their outrage at “what had been done to the young woman” and thanked the potbangers for “not waiting” (presumably not waiting for guilt to be establish or paying any heed to such niceties as a presumption of innocence).

Here is a quote from the infamous advert, which was, you will recall drafted by salaried professors from one of America's most prestigious universities:

"We are listening to our students. We're also listening to the Durham community, to Duke staff, and to each other. Regardless of the results of the police investigation, what is apparent everyday [sic] now is the anger and fear of many students who know themselves to be objects of racism and sexism, who see illuminated in this moment's extraordinary spotlight what they live with everyday [sic]…. These students are shouting and whispering about what happened to this young woman and to themselves."

The advert then went on included a number of anonymous quotes allegedly from non-white students detailing their experience of racism on Duke campus.

It has been suggested that the group of 88 rushed to get the advert published in order that it would have maximum impact before the DNA results were revealed. Presumably they feared that, as proved to be the case, the results would be favourable towards the players. Whether or not this was true, Wahneema Lubiano Associate Professor, Literature and African and African-American Studies, who organised the advertisement, which she later acknowledged would be “a streak through the heart of the lacrosse team” (whom she termed “perfect offenders”) gave some signatories less than six hours to decide whether they would put their name, and, as such their departments credibility behind the advert.

These academics were able to ignore due process and the presumption of innocence, whilst attacking their own students, in the furtherance of of their questionable pedagogical agendas, with impunity, as the Duke administration and its Principle, Richard Broadhead seemed more committed to Political correctness and placating radical pressure groups than protecting the young people in its charge.

I do not have time here to go into detail regarding the behaviour of the Duke administration, or of the Durham NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured people) and the inaccurate, misleading and guilt alleging statement regarding the case on their website. The patently false information put out by the Durham Crime Stoppers group, stating incorrectly that there was strong evidence of rape, and also creating a myth, which was to continue throughout the case that the players were refusing to cooperate. Meanwhile an analysis of the false rumours, originating from at least one nurse, Tara Levicy, at Duke hospital that the accuser had sustained serious vaginal and anal injuries, whereas only a mild swelling and some evidence of thrush had been detected, would require a deeper investigation into pure human malice and the radical feminist mindset than I am inclined to go at this time. For those who wish to read more about these, I have listed a variety of sources at the bottom of this posting where further details of these can be found.

Whilst there, anyone who still believes that the law will protect the innocent, may wish examine the behaviour of much of the Durham judiciary, with particular reference to a certain Judge Ronald L Stevens who presided over a number of the initial hearings, and who, many feel should have stood next to the rogue prosecutor at his disciplinary hearing. That Stevens, among other things, allowed members of the New Black Panthers, who had arrived in town with the speed of flies to a road kill, to shout threats at one of the defendants in his own court, gives a good indication as to where that hanging judge's allegiance lay.

Needless to say, there were many many forces ranged against the three young white men charged with rape, and all those forces were desperate for them to be guilty, or at least, for them to be convicted. Indeed, for very, very many of those forces, the young men's guilt or innocence, was of less importance than the symbolism of a conviction. The attitude of many was summed up by one North Carolina Central University student who commented "whether it happened or not. It would be justice for things that happened in the past."

(Sotto voce: Of course, given that, as I indicated in a previous part of this essay, current US Crime statistics show that black men in America are over one thousand times more likely to rape white women than white men are to rape black women unless there has been a complete 180 degree change since “the past” one has to question whether “things that happened in the past” actually happened.)

Among those who clearly did believe that “things that happened in the past” really did happen, who were pre-disposed to believe every allegation, and who positively drooling blood with delight at the prospect of sending three young white men to prison were, of course, our old friends the media, in this instance the US media. If you think our media in Britain have drunk too long at the fountain of politically correct fibs and fantasies, you haven't seen anything to compare with the likes of CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek and the New York Times.

In direct contrast to the news black out which the entire US national news media applied to the racially motivated gang rape and murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian in Knoxville some nine months later the press descended upon Durham like an army equipped with camera trucks, satellite phones and large expense accounts. TV anchors and on the ground reporters grasped the story with relish, but there was only one scenario they wished to present and that involved white male privilege, black female victimhood and white racial and sexual violence. They had already effectively declared the outcome, and you can not believe how much the media, and their cheering supporters in chat rooms, message boards, and college staff rooms across America wanted that woman to have been raped by those men.

The press applied all their text book disinformation tricks, such as, as I have described before, what Ann Coulter termed the “lie of omission”, for instance by not reporting any uncomfortable facts they learned about the accuser, or indeed any evidence of good character on the part of the defendants. Another variation on the lie of omission is the “ignore its been disproved” trick, seen again later that year in the reporting of events at Jena, a small town in Louisiana, and used with gusto by those reporting on the lacrosse case. Some examples of the “ignore its been disproved” trick are as follows:

1) After leaving the lacrosse captain's house, and for reasons which remain unclear, the second dancer made a 911 call to the police, claiming that she and a female friend had been passing the house, when a group of white males ran out and started shouting racial slurs at them. There is some speculation as to why she made this call, and some have suggested that she was covering up the sting operation, which a number of the players suspected that the dancers were playing on them, whatever her motive, the 911 call was released by the police and became hot news for a few days.

Shortly afterwards the second dancer admitted publicly that it was she who made the call, and that the event had never happened. However, that did not stop press from continuing to report that the players had racially abused passers by.

2) On the same lines, numerous legends began to circulate regarding the alleged behaviour of the lacrosse team prior to the events of March 13, the team it was was said had a long record of racist and sexist abuse and of anti social acts. As a result Duke arranged for an investigation to be conducted by an eminent and well respected African American Duke professor of Law James Coleman who convened a committee and compiled a report on the team's general behaviour. Contrary to the legends, the Coleman committee report found no evidence of either racism or sexism, and rather than anti-social behaviour, it found some examples of rowdy behaviour, however the worst of this involved an incident where one player was punished for “throwing water”, suggesting the actions of lively, even mischevious, young men, rather than the swaggering, racist elitists they were being painted

At worst, the Coleman report found that the players frequently broke the laws on under aged drinking, but this was by no means an unusual misdemeanour in America, especially in states like North Carolina, where it is illegal to drink under the age of 21.

As the report did not produce the results the media wanted, its findings were widely ignored, and the discredited legends continued to be reported as fact. To this day you will hear you will hear commentators, who should know better, or who DO know better, repeating these same allegations even when grudgingly admitting the rape never took place.

The famous New York Times was amongst the many offenders continuing to run dozens of heavily biased and guilt presuming articles almost to the point where the case, and their reporting of it, imploded in front of them. Times Sports reporter Selena Roberts was guilty of some of the more intemperate, hate infused, and prejudiced reporting in the early stages. Amongst other things Roberts asserted that "something happened on March 13" without acknowledging that this was taking the unproven charges of the prosecution and announcing them as fact. Furthermore, Roberts published false information about the case through the Times, such as "Players have been forced to give up their DNA, but to the dismay of investigators, none have come forward to reveal an eyewitness account." In fact, the captains' March 28, 2006 statement and the defense attorneys' subsequent press conference both described the captains' cooperation with police, and both occurred before Roberts penned her column. The Times never ran a correction. (Source Wikipedia)

Worse even than Roberts, were that possible, was her colleague Duff Wilson, who was to become the main Times reporter covering the case and who, in a 5,700 word page 1 article published on August 25 2006, claimed that the prosecutors had strong evidence to continue pursuing the case against the three defendants, when, in fact no such evidence existed. Wilson did not admit that he report was primarily based on hand written notes prepared, from memory, by one policeman written months after the event, and which conveniently fudged or amended inconsistencies .Some may ask why should he admit it?, the policeman's notes told the story he wanted to report.

There are many other examples of the one sided and distorted manner in which the US media handled this case, and how differently they handled it from many of the other similar cases which has arisen over the years. However, this essay is already over long, so I shall restrict myself to commenting on one individual media personality. That individual is ex-prosecutor and legal commentator, turned TV host with her own TV show, CNN's Nancy Grace.

Staring fiercely into the camera like Perseus's recurring nightmare, in a peroxide helmet which Brunhilde would envy, Grace is a media phenomenon, credited with driving at least one interviewee to suicide. She is an ex-prosecutor, with a feminist ideology and little tolerance of such concepts as due process and the presumption of innocence. As a TV inquisitor she makes our own Television bullies like Jeremy Paxman, let alone Anne Robinson, appear shy and almost self-effacing.

Nancy Grace approached the Duke lacrosse case in somewhat the same manner that Pamela Voorhees (mother of Jason) might approach a wounded Fraternity pledge and emerged blood red on tooth and finely manicured claw.

Instead of seeking to describe the indescribable, I recommend that you watch this person in action, by clicking on the following links:

In this first clip on YouTube we see a section from one edition of the Nancy Grace show where the lacrosse case is discussed, at the beginning she appears almost rational, until she starts bullying one of her minions over what she perceives as over familiarity with the accused, by, for instance referring to one by his first name. Later in the clip she explodes in fury when a guest she interviews has the temerity to suggest the accused might be innocent. Note the contrast between how he is bullied and heckled with the respectful silence in which the following guest, a black female anti rape activist, is allowed to speak without interruption.

In the second clip from an edition of the Today Show, aired immediately after the North Carolina Attorney General declared the accused Lacrosse players were innocent of all charges, and in which the usually highly selective Jon Stewart goes some way towards redeeming himself with a brilliant expose of Nancy Grace's behaviour. The clip is highly recommended, not only for Stewart's humour, but because it shows various further examples of Grace's guilt assuming and quite outrageous behaviour.

The frightening thing about Nancy Grace is that, although she may appear extreme, she actually is not. She is merely a slightly more brutish example of how the US media in general approached this case. Many of her colleagues may have appeared more rational and pragmatic, but, with a few honourable exceptions, such as the late Ed Bradley, an African American TV journalist. whose CBS 60 Minutes show first raised doubts about the case in the public mind, their attitudes and belief's were no different. Their assumptions about the players were identical to hers, and so was their desire (instinct?) to destroy them, and the objectives behind their reporting. The only difference was that the street thug beneath Nancy Grace's caked on mascara made her less able to hide that truth.

The media and the venomous coalition of forces who gathered around Durham North Carolina, intent upon sacrificing three innocent young men in order to prove true the lies they have told us for the last 40 years have not gone away, and they will strike again, and this time their aim will be even more deadly.

When the hoax fell apart, it exposed quite how flawed and quite how outrageous it had been, because of that, few realise quite how close it came to succeeding.

Had it not been for one lawyer with a text book on DNA spending hour upon hour pouring over page after page of raw data, Nifong's conspiracy to hide the results might never have been exposed, would an overworked public defender have the time to do that? Indeed, had the accused not been the “Perfect offenders” as Duke professor Wahneema Lubiano had called them, they would not have been able to pay the lawyers who proved their innocence, something which almost bankrupted one of these so called, “privileged families”.

Had the players not been so attractive and so obviously innocent their plight may not have inspired so many bloggers to keep the spotlight on the case. Had they had consensual sex with the accuser, and left DNA, or had she been more credible, the outcome could have been very different indeed and the defendants could now have been into the first or second year of a thirty year prison sentence, which, for a young white man in an American prison is a very cruel and unnatural punishment.

Be under no illusion however, this is not over. The forces which grasped hold of Nifong's dirty little conspiracy and sought to drive it into the show trial which the Duke lacrosse would have been, made a huge mistake, however, they know it and they have learnt from it.

They know the accused were too perfect, the accuser too unbalanced and the prosecutor was a sociopath, they will not make that mistake again, but they will try again because they have no option.

Black men will not stop raping white women, the figures show that thousands and thousands of them do so every year. As diversity is forced on more and more areas it will happen more and more and it will be less difficult to hide. They need that balancing prosecution. The public are stupid, but they are not that stupid, they become less likely to believe in all the white rapists in the TV cop shows if their own daughter, and the girl across the street have been raped by a black man.

Other agendas, and careers, are at stake as well, how can tenured academics continue to claim salaries for teaching their students how white males oppress black women without eventually having to produce a practical example. They only need one, which can become the textbook example ignoring all others, but that one case has to happen.

How can TV producers continue to produce Bizarro World like shows Law and Order Special Victims. Or CSI Miami without events in the real world occasionally reflecting what they portray.

There is only so long that the media can continue to create the illusion of a an unending series of white hate crimes by omitting the word “black” from reports like “The Hispanic victim was attacked by a gang of ##### men” and deleting the word “Hispanic” from reports like “The black victim was attacked by a gang of ######## men”

There is an ideological industry at stake and in need of a high profile balancing prosecution.

However, the next time the defendants will be less attractive, they will be less wealthy and less able to defend themselves, but no less white. They will have have at least touched the woman, she will be credible and there will be DNA. Just wait and see.

And the same will happen in Britain because the same forces are at work here.

All demagogues require show trials to support their social engineering, and our demagogues are no different.

Note #2
In part one of this series of essays I referred to Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma bombing, I see from this news story that the truth may not be as it first appeared.

Balancing Prosecutions – Part 2 – Rape, lies and Academia

Duke University Campus, Durham North Carolina

In part one of this essay, I looked at various of the balancing criminal prosecutions which have been taking place in Britain so as to protect our leaders' fated dreams of a successful multi-racial society. These include legitimate criminal prosecutions, where actual evidence of guilt exists, but which are afforded excessive prominence and press coverage on account of the race of the alleged perpetrator, so as to overshadow the numerically greater number of similar crimes committed by members of a more politically popular race.

The example I gave was that of the dozens of gang related child killings which occurred in Britain during 2007, 26 in London alone, the one which received the greatest publicity was the only case where the perpetrator, and other members of his gang. could be clearly identified as white.

Another example of a balancing prosecution I gave was where a case relating to a crime usually associated with one racial group (non-whites) is brought against members of a different race (whites). These cases are often brought on the basis of very questionable evidence merely because the level of publicity it will generate will mitigate against similar, genuine, prosecutions against members of other races, thus producing a balancing effect. If handled skilfully enough it can even tip the balance of perception far enough so that the wider public come to believe that the second racial group (whites) are primarily guilty, of what is in truth a majority non-white crime.

The prosecutors (including the establishment, the CPS and the controlled media, who all play a part in these cases) accept that, in most cases the trials will collapse or end in acquittals, however, before that happens they will, at least, have had the effect of producing a perception in the public mind that “white people do it too”. There is also the possibility that a particularly biased, brainwashed or ethnically stacked jury will come back with a conviction, which is clearly a huge and very useful bonus, albeit not for the innocent men who have been convicted of a fake crime.

Balancing prosecutions are, in effect show trials, either by design or presentation intended to produce a false picture to the public, so as to disguise the huge problems which the psychotic importation of a plethora of alien third world cultures into a western democracy has caused.

In part two, I will focus on the second type, and on a planned show trial in America. It is a case which never actually got to court, but which stands as a frightening example of the threat faced by young white males, in societies which are intent on holding them responsible for other people's crimes, and which view them as the single remaining legitimate target for racial hatred. It is a case which became widely known as the Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax, and became one of the most high profile and talked about crimes which never happened in American history.

To understand why the Duke lacrosse case had the effect that it did you have to understand the context. The first thing to note is that the allegations in the Duke Lacrosse case involved gang rape. As I explained in part one, gang rape is not a crime commonly committed by white men of European origin. Certainly in Britain, it has been grudgingly acknowledged that most gang rapes are committed by exclusively non-white or mixed race gangs, in fact researchers have struggled to identify any examples of gang rapes being committed by gangs consisting exclusively of native whites.

Elsewhere in the world however, the picture is very different, in Africa for instance gang rape by the indigenous population has reached epidemic proportions. This phenomenon is not just happening in war zones. The problem has reached massive proportions in peace-time South Africa. In Johannesburg South Africa, surveillance studies of women attending medico-legal clinics following a rape found that one-third of the cases had been gang rapes [1].

Gang rape is also rife in many Islamic countries where it is, in fact often used as a means of punishing women.

With immigration and globalisation this scourge has moved westwards, into democracies in Europe and North America where it was previously very rare. In Europe, the word tournante is a French adjective meaning "turning" and is used as a slang term to mean a gang rape. According to the testimony of numerous victims, local women who stray from traditional conduct in the immigrant neighborhoods, such as behaving and dressing like a westerner, wanting to live as Europeans or refusing to wear traditional clothes have been targeted for tournantes. According to a CNN interview, there was a trial in Lille regarding a 13-year-old girl who had allegedly been gang-raped by as many as 80 men.

National data on rape and sexual assault in the United States reveal that about 1 out of 10 sexual assaults involve multiple perpetrators. Most of these assaults are committed by people unknown to their victims [2]. This pattern, though, differs from that in South Africa where boyfriends are often involved in gang rapes. In America, the phenomenon was historically confined to black street gangs, and the victims primarily young black women, but, as far as the victims are concerned, this is changing.

The second fact to note about the Duke Lacrosse case was that it allegedly involved the rape of a black woman by a group of white males, and it was this, added to the “gang” connotation which provided the dynamite beneath the hoax.

Interracial rape does occur in America, but it is overwhelmingly an act of black aggression against a white victim, the main victims by far being young white males in US prison, but outside prison most victims are white females. The rape of a black woman by a white man is almost unheard of. Statistics from the US Department of justice show that, in 2005, over 37,000 white women were raped by black men, whilst in the same period, less than 10 black women were raped by white men.

This does not fit the picture which the media, and particularly the academics in Collages and Universities, responsible for teaching the next generation of young Americans, want to present, and , in fact it is not the picture they present.

As in Britain, the truth about interracial rape, and racial violence in general, is totally disregarded and, in most cases, suppressed. Were you to visit the libraries of virtually any of the Universities in North America you would find academic studies, text books and pamphlets which declare, in what appears to be all seriousness, that sexual violence including gang rape is primarily perpetrated by white men, that when such allegations are made against black men they are “racist lies” probably told to protect a guilty white man, and that the overwhelming majority of interracial rapes are acts of white racism, committed by white aggressors against black victims.

These claims have no basis in truth, in fact they are the diametric opposite of the truth. The most generous description is they are academic fairy tales, made up to bolster a false prospectus and to support a political agenda for which the distortion of truth is essential.

Many of these studies, which often go on to praise the gentleness and tolerance of black men, are written by so called feminists, for whom the protection of women was clearly not a priority. To protect oneself, one has first to be in possession of the true facts, however, any woman believing such writing would be as safe as if she were sent on safari in the belief that zebra were dangerous but that lions were harmless and could generally be petted.

Such disinformation appears regularly in the media, it is the likes of Newsweek and CNN's stock in trade, and it is taught daily, face to face in classrooms across America. They are lies, but they are lies believed by many students, and possibly even by some of those telling them.

The third important feature to the Duke Lacrosse case was the fact that the accused white males were from affluent middle class families, yet the black woman they were accused of gang raping was a poor, single mother, struggling to make do by what we can call “erotic dancing”. This fact elevated the claims the Holy Trinity of liberal fantasies, combining race, gender and class dynamics in exactly the way they dream of them, rather than in the inconvenient way that such chips tend to fall in real life. The news must have been received with pure ecstasy by academia and the media when they first head it.

To them it must have seemed that the Duke lacrosse case was sent to them by God, except that few of such people would actually have believed in Him. To sustain belief in a lie it is not enough to rely forever on undocumented historical legends and conspiracy cover ups. Faith will only take a disciple so far, to hook them for life you need an example, or as those teachers and professors seeking to guide young minds to the new Utopia might put it, you need a teachable moment.

This was a teachable moment equipped with bells, neon lights and a hoopla stall.

The Duke lacrosse case was, for liberal media and the denizens of white male hating academia, the equivalent of an alien space ship crashing on Manhattan, it only ever has to happen once to prove all alien abduction stories true.

If the lacrosse players were found guilty that in itself would prove true every lie they had ever told about white men. No wonder they dived onto it like a pack of hungry wild dogs on a wounded gazelle. Those boys would be guilty, no matter what.
