We are told that
a judge has recommended that Elizabeth Holmes serve her time (likely to be
reduced on parole) at a minimum security “prison,” which instead of in jail cells,
houses “inmates” in what is essentially
a sorority dorm. Holmes will thus be living at summer camp on the taxpayer
dime and be able to play "mommy" with her kid(s), who will never know that she actually committed a crime—it
seems that having children as a ploy to avoid jail time was useful after all.
Meanwhile, we are
told that Brooke Shields claims that Barbara Walters asked her “personal”
questions, such as asking her what her “measurements” were, and inspecting her
body, in a manner she called “invasive.” Yet in accordance with the rules of
the “sisterhood,” she insisted that she has “absolutely nothing against
Walters” and that this was “in the past,” and she doesn’t want to “ruin”
Walters reputation because of her “importance” to “American pop culture.” Damn,
the stench of hypocrisy and double standards is strong here—particularly given
the fact that Shields made these comments on Drew Barrymore’s morning talk
show, in need of a ratings boost since it is being reduced to a half-hour and
put in the “death” time slot due to poor ratings.
This past week
there was also discussion by YouTuber
The DUI Guy about his interactions with Stanford law professor Michele Dauber,
who Johnny Depp supporters know for her support of Heard and for such commentary like this…
…as well as threatening
students, the kind of thing that would get most professors, tenured or not,
disciplined or fired…
...if they were men. Such is the
power of gaslighting society that people who are in a position to stop her fear
to do so. Dauber attacks all men in her comments; her accusation that
men are “sociopaths” actually condemns her as the same much more so. Now, here
in his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbJNT0fYYjA&t=658s
the DUI Guy admits that after she made so many insulting comments about him that
he tried to request a “truce” with her, which she responded to in the bullying
manner people have come to expect from her. In any other occupation she'd be
called to resign or be terminated, or just be forced to “moderate” her
comments. She is “tenured” so she feels no threat from any of that. Why social
media platforms haven’t disciplined her since she clearly violates their hate
speech guidelines demonstrates the power that she claims women don’t have.
I thought that
the DUI Guy—who by the way finds Heard’s just released amicus brief (not her
official brief but one provided by “interested” third-parties, with Dauber one
of the signers) to be laughable—in his effort to
“understand” Dauber’s misandry to be not only pointless but flawed.
Dauber doesn’t deserve anyone’s “understanding” about her “backstory” to explain
her sociopathy. We are told that her brother was convicted of molesting her
then 5-year-old daughter Amanda, but the DUI Guy accepts the “assumption” about
her personally being abused by men (including a “first husband”) even though
even Dauber has been silent about her past and there is no documented evidence
of abuse against her. She has been married to Ken Dauber since 1997, so it is
a wonder why she can express such misandry and still be married to a man makes one
wonder about what really motivates her.
Before 2008 Dauber
doesn’t appear to have been an anti-male or gender victim fanatic. We are told
that she clerked for Judge Stephen Reinhardt on the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals, and while an associate professor at Stanford wrote an “acclaimed” book, The
Sympathetic State: Disaster Relief and the Origins of the American Welfare
State before becoming a tenured
professor in 2007. Then in 2008 her daughter Amanda committed suicide; why isn’t
clear, but it appears that Dauber was looking for someone to blame other than
herself.
There is a
Reddit discussion page—r/MicheleDauber—trying to make sense of Dauber’s
activities and commentary, and there is very little to go on that explains her
misandry. One of
the linked posts is by someone with the handle u/Far_Example_9150 who writes the following:
A long time ago – I guess about 25 years
back – Dauber and husband Ken Dauber went on kind of a internet crusade
(message boards in those days) to try to get Michele’s older brother Michael
Landis kicked out of a Sci Fi convention organization, because they said he was
a pedophile who had raped Michele’s daughter. Eventually, they ended this
campaign with one last post telling everyone to disregard all they had written
before.. some folks speculated they were paid off – I have no info on why they
stopped.
About ten years after that, Dauber’s
daughter Amanda committed suicide – she was a student at RISD – the bio on
Dauber says she became involved in campus sexual assault about that time –
without explaining WHY – even a tiny bit, seriously nothing – the article
claims women would show up at Dauber’s office door crying and she would know
they had been assaulted. I mean, even allowing for psychic abilities and white
magic of some sort – wouldn’t the people who showed up be those who were
suicidal, not assaulted?
My personal belief is, Dauber attributes
Amanda’s suicide to the alleged rape when she was 5, and that was what got her
involved in the #MeToo movement – and obviously, at some point, if so many
young women showed up at her door, she passed the word she wanted to advocate
for them. And all indications are, her most successful advocacy, before Chanel
Miller was for a woman who was a very angry scorned woman, who had not been
assaulted at all – again, the local DA cleared the man completely.
So there we have
one person’s theory about why Dauber became an anti-male fanatic, that she needed to find a scapegoat other than herself to blame for her daughter's suicide; given
the lack of evidence for the “assumed” reason for her own behavior as her being a victim of abuse herself, it is as good an explanation
as any. In regard to the Chanel Miller case, there have been some people questioning
this incident, which some have accused Dauber of orchestrating a false accusation
by Miller that led to her campaign to take down one of those “powerful” men in order to
demonstrate her own megalomaniacal “power.”
The Reddit page offered a link to a discussion by something called John and Jane Q Public. Given the tone
of the article, it can be either interpreted as justifiable outrage or a
partisan political piece depending on whose side you are on. The charge made
is that Dauber colluded with prosecutors—such as Jeff Rosen (not to be confused
with the corrupt Trump administration DOJ official, but corrupt in his own way as well) and the media to dismiss other
cases of alleged sexual assault in order to focus public attention on the case
of a student named Brock Turner, who was accused of raping Miller behind a
dumpster after she passed out drunk.
If we want to
believe the Wiki page on the case, this accusation came about not initially
from Miller (who was not a student, but apparently was at the frat house to have "fun"), but she was “told” she was sexually assaulted by medical personnel
at a clinic she was taken to after she was found still passed out, three-times the legal blood alcohol level. Two witnesses claimed they were bicycling past the dumpster when they saw the alleged rape, but their claim that they saw Turner "penetrating" her with his penis turned out to be false. Testimony that he ran away from police during another incident when he was underage drunk to demonstrate he didn't necessarily run from the scene because he thought he committed rape was not allowed.
When police arrived at the scene after Turner was tackled by the two men, Turner was judged to have a .17 blood alcohol level. He has
always denied the charge (during his trial most of his 39 character witnesses
were not allowed to testify, including an ex-girlfriend) but an Emily Doe letter
that many believe was actually written by Dauber, and not by Miller, helped inflame public and
national response to the case.
Interestingly, Miller claimed to have no memory of anything shortly after her
arrival at the party she met Turner, and not until three hours after she arrived at the
clinic. Her DNA was alleged to be found under his fingernails, but not his in
her vagina; prosecutors were forced to drop charges that he physically penetrated her, instead charging that he had penetrated her with "foreign" objects, which were described as "pine needles."
Miller claimed
that Turner’s version of events were “fabricated,” but how would she know if
she claims she didn’t even remember, well, anything? Her case became a mainstream
media circus, she appeared on 60 Minutes
and even wrote a book on her “experience.” But how could this “party girl” with
an alcohol problem know what happened to her when she claimed she had no memory of anything at the time, and then claim to have been effected by it psychologically? No doubt she was passed out drunk before, and it didn't stop her from doing it again. No doubt
she was coached by Dauber about what to say to make her a “credible”
figure in the MeToo environment.
After Turner was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault, but not actual rape, the judge in the
case, Aaron Persky, sentenced him to to six months in prison and to register
as a sex offender. It didn’t matter that the judge was acting within the
sentencing guidelines; the outraged “Dauber Machine” went into action, calling
for the recall of Persky, who was the target of much negative attention in the
media, which eventually did lead to his recall.
One of the claims was that Persky
showed “racial bias” when he previously sentenced a Hispanic student to a
3-year prison term in another “controversial” case, and there was “leniency”
shown to Turner as part of the “privileged” white set. This open letter
addressed to Rosen expressed the “concern” of some about how the case had been
handled, particularly concerning the undue influence of Dauber and her "corrupt machine," some of the charges familiar to those following the Johnny Depp case:
That's right: "due process" for males accused is "harmful" to female accusers. The Palo Alto Daily
Express reported than a man named Steven White filed a defamation lawsuit against
Dauber and her associates. “Last year, he tried unsuccessfully to get a
restraining order against Dauber, claiming she had sent recall supporters to 'swarm' or 'mob' his one-man counterprotests at recall-related rallies and
events…White claims that in addition to stealing his protest sign, Dauber sent 'her
minions' to shout him down at public events, including when he was trying to
speak with TV reporters.” Of course nothing came of this, since White was seen
as a lone crackpont amongst a sea of aggrieved.
One of those
people working with Dauber to inflame hatred was someone named Jennifer Higgins
Bradanini. Her name came up in a case that also inflamed public outrage in a different way:
A Davis, California publication reported that
After taking the life of an elderly married
man and dearly loved father, Jennifer Higgins Bradanini was supposed to go to
jail for six months, complete 350 hours of community service, pay $183,857 in restitution,
and be on probation for two years. Even though the initial sentence was
considered lenient, and outraged the victim’s family, the sentence later was
unexpectedly modified. The six-month jail time became home confinement with an
electronic monitoring device. Shortly thereafter, Higgins was seen on
social media dancing with an ankle bracelet on a rally stage in Los Angeles…
…Despite a death, curbside confession, and
blood samples tainted with a prescription drug – that came with instructions
advising not to operate a motor vehicle – no arrest was made at the scene of the
crime. For over seven months, Jenny Higgins was allowed to finish a 2021
political campaign for San Jose City Council. She was prosecuted only after she
had lost that election.
Then came the "kicker":
Higgins is politically active and connected.
So apparently are her lawyers. In addition to organizing the San Jose Women’s
March fueled by the #Metoo movement, she campaigned with Stanford Law Professor
Michelle Dauber in the controversial 2018 recall of Santa Clara County Judge
Aaron Persky. A group of local residents allege that Higgins’ political
connections played a role in what they assert was preferential treatment by the
Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office and DA Jeff Rosen.
Besides helping her privileged white female conferderate to escape murder charges, Dauber has also
been accused of using her own deceased daughter’s image and Twitter handle to
make accusations against her opponents; the DUI Guy noted how Dauber made
the screenshot of this just 49 seconds after it was posted—indicating that she had
prior knowledge that this was going to be posted:
My advice to
people is don’t assume that Dauber has “suffered” abuse by men in the past and this
“explains” her behavior when there is no evidence that she personally suffered
anything, other than the accusation concerning her daughter. The only thing we
really know about her early life—that she ran away from home at 16 and was a drug addict
before she had this remarkable life turnaround—suggests that maybe she had some
“issues” that required "intervention." But
then again who really knows? If she
sounds like a sociopath then maybe she just is one.
