Satanic Democrat Rape Scandal

July 5, 2008

Here are the accused:
They look fairly average, right?

They appeared to be standard New Age hippies, selling hand-made incense and the like, with newsletters like the following from the soon-to-be-expired Google cache:

Reconsidering Christmas
December 20, 2007 by dianapalmer
Even though most of us are aware that Jesus was not actually born on Dec. 25, it is still a day — or season — for considering Christ’s life and teachings. But instead of a search within ourselves for ways we can become more Christlike, many people try to outdo each other in how much money they can spend on gifts and decorations.

What if instead of spending outrageous amounts on those who already have enough material possessions that you instead donate more money to charity in the name of your intended recipient? Truly consider those who are the “least among us.” Volunteer at a shelter or food kitchen and serve meals to the homeless. Provide food to animal shelters. Visit nursing homes and befriend those who no longer have family around them. Be a mentor for at-risk youth in your community. Champion a cause that is important to you. Do these things not only at Christmas but all year long.

When a child starts thinking about what gifts he/she wants at Christmas, encourage that child to pick out a gift for an underprivileged child. Consider doing a yearly cleanout of all gently used toys and clothes and donating them to area shelters and other charitable services.

In the United States we live in a culture that promotes spending over spirituality. Challenge yourself to shun the stores and shopping malls and instead return to a true celebration of Christ’s life and teachings. Spend time at Christmas — and throughout the year — in quiet meditation, considering how you can live the life that Christ taught us to live.

Think of that baby in the manger as your soul waiting to grow, to be nourished and fed. Your best gift to Christ is to live your life’s true purpose and to truly love and nurture each other.

July 4, 2008 — Stefan Fobes
Durham Democratic Party Official accused in rituals
June 30, 2008

Anne Blythe / Raleigh News & Observer

Durham — Allegations that a local Democratic official and her husband were involved in satanic rituals that included shackling people to beds, caging them and depriving them of food and water have horrified county party leaders.

Joy Johnson, 30, a third vice-chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice chairwoman of the Young Democrats, was charged Friday with two counts of aiding and abetting.

Her husband, Joseph Scott Craig, 25, was charged with second-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for an incident in January and another in May.

The two made an appearance in court Monday morning after spending the weekend in the Durham County jail.

Mark McCullough, an assistant district attorney, urged Judge Nancy Gordon to increase Johnson’s bond to $500,000 from the $270,000 set by a magistrate. “Part of the allegations are that satanic worship is part of this case,” McCullough said.

Gordon kept Johnson’s bond at $270,000. Craig’s bond remained at $500,000. Each was ordered to stay away from the accusers. Craig has been charged with beating a man with a cane and a cable cord and assaulting a woman with a wooden cane and raping her.

McCullough would not release details of the allegations, but he added, “I don’t want to leave the impression this is a widespread thing.”

Jeremy Collins, president of the Durham Young Democrats, has known Johnson for several years. After following the Duke lacrosse case and seeing the phony gang-rape charges dismantled and dismissed, Collins said he would reserve judgment until the facts of this case were revealed.

“If it’s true then it’s extremely unfortunate and a shock to all of us,” Collins said.

During her time as a party official, Johnson was interested in trying to attract more young Democrats and get them involved in the political process, acquaintances say.

Floyd McKissick, a state senator and a Democrat from Durham, said Monday he had been told Johnson had resigned her posts with the party. He, too, reserved judgment.

“I was absolutely shocked and flabbergasted,” McKissick said. “You never would have suspected allegations that she would have had any participation in these rituals.”

Johnson and Craig, along with Diana Palmer, first vice chairwoman for the local Democrats, are partners in a company called Indigo Dawn.

Gianni Alemanno hailed as Duce

May 8, 2008

Via the Guardian:

Italy’s new parliament met for the first time today with applause for Rome’s mayor-elect, Gianni Alemanno, a day after followers celebrated his triumph with straight-arm salutes and fascist-era chants.

Alemanno, a former neo-fascist youth leader, took 54% of the vote in a run-off on Sunday and Monday, crushing his rival, Francesco Rutelli, a deputy prime minister in the last, centre-left government.

Silvio Berlusconi, who won a general election earlier this month, welcomed the latest evidence of Italy’s leap to the right by declaring: “We are the new Falange”. Although he took care to wrap his remark in a classical context, his choice of words appeared to be a nod and a wink to his most extreme supporters.

The original Falange — the word means “phalanx” — was the Spanish fascist party, founded in the 1930s, which supplied Francisco Franco’s dictatorship with its ideological underpinning.

The prime minister-elect’s closest ally, Umberto Bossi, the Northern League leader, kept up the intimidating rhetoric, arriving for the first session of Italy’s parliament warning of violence if the centre-left did not go along with his plans for federalism.

“I don’t know what the left wants [but] we are ready,” he told reporters. “If they want conflicts, I have 300,000 men always on hand.”

On Monday night, the area around Rome’s city hall rang to chants of “Duce! Duce!”, the term adopted by Italy’s dictator, Benito Mussolini, equivalent to the German “Führer”. Supporters of the new mayor gave the fascist Roman straight-arm salutes.

I hesitate to categorize this as Retroculture, but certainly they are acting traditionally and with an anticommunist slant…

Make One, Two, Many Loompanics

February 17, 2008

Back before the WWW, there was a book company called Loompanics Unlimited.

They sold books to shock, to question unexamined assumptions, to poke at taboo.

Nowadays, shock lit is hard to sell on paper — everyone who wants to read would prefer to read it for free over the Internet.

But just like Che told you to “Make One, Two, Many Vietnams,” I tell you: Make One, Two, Many Loompanics.

Now put my picture on a T-Shirt, I want to aggrandize my ego just like Che.
