Damian M. Schloming ideas and information

Naomi Wolf on rape: "...ours is increasingly an age of geopolitics by blackmail."

This website is to allow me to present intelligibly my thoughts and insights on various social, political, historical and even scientific issues I've been studying in the past two years. 

Some of which I have background knowledge of due to having been involved with and interested in various political movements many years ago. 

My political viewpoint leans towards libertarian, except that I am not completely happy with the way some of them think. Libertarians want limited government and civil liberties. As a matter of principle, that is excellent. But then libertarians seem to suffer from this ingrained bias of Western Culture that you can somehow intellectually decide that government "should be" a certain way and then the perfect society can then be achieved by some legislative body sitting down and crafting some written rule decreeing that that is how society is to be from now on.

 

Actually, I think government and the larger society it is embedded in is more like some kind of living beast that you can train or that can morph in one direction or another, but it can't be so easily manipulated or changed as we think. Written rules don't have the exact effect they literally intend, but instead enforcement of the rules and all sorts of other considerations regarding government bureaucracies results in all sorts of ripple effects or unintended consequences. As a result, the most free society does not necessarily result from the one with the nicest and most free sounding written constitution or constitutional rights guaranteeing liberty. A very good example of this issue is the liberal Warren Court expanding all sorts of fifth amendment procedural and technical criminal protections for defendants. Liberals saying they want to do this might be arguing this is to help the poor. The opposite is the truth. This is to help defense attorneys, and why is that a bad thing? Because criminal procedures and technicalities of the liberal Warren Court only resulted in defendants having protection IF they could hire an expensive enough attorney to do a good enough job PRESSING them. Public defenders are part of the corrupt court system, they deliberately do a bad job so as to make sure well heeled defendants find it worth their while to pay extra. Huge sentences ALSO give well heeled defendants more incentive to pay extra. Thus, defense attorneys representing rich criminal defendants have a vested interest in maintaining the strict sentencing policies responsible for Mass Incarceration. Furthermore, there was a law school bubble which burst, and now law schools are doing poorly because lawyers are not finding it worth their while to spend so much money on a law degree. Fact of the matter is, those liberal Warren Court protections indirectly increased legal fees for defense attorneys, thereby contributing to the upward pressure on college tuition and law school tuition, simply because the amount of money attorneys could make from a law degree made it more worthwhile. 

It also is true that the regulatory state increased in many other ways, increasing demand for attorneys in other spheres besides the criminal justice system. But I am going to talk about the criminal justice system here for now to use it as an example.

This is just one example showing how a policy that, examined in the most superficial way you think it's designed to help criminal defendants overall in the long run has the exact opposite effect. Because these protections are ones that only can be accessed by those with the money to pay for top dollar attorneys. And, it isn't always necessarily related to the facts of the case. The attorney usually has an incestuous relationship with everyone else in the court system, so much so that basically if you pay the right attorney enough money, you will get off because he is friends with all the judges and prosecutors, and parole officers, etc.

And for me to say that could lead to others thinking it is rather awful to have a court system so incestuously corrupt. Except, these are all nice people who know each other and court systems have ALWAYS been like this, more or less. And they always will be this way. Government is incapable of being perfect. Understanding its inherent imperfections such as this are necessary when it comes to avoiding passing laws which interact with such a culture in a way to produce very bad outcomes.

 

After all, we have always had government and, for some reason, it would appear if we always have had it, that is because we need it. The inner workings of government are so awful, you discover after you observe it, it can easily lead many to think we should just abolish it. But, given that that is impossible, the best alternative is to understand it as inherently flawed, and realistically think of how to make things "the least bad."

This is what I have thought for a long time, yet only recently have I stumbled across some law professors who subscribe to a movement called "legal realism." It turns out they think exactly the way I do, and see the same flaws in our society (or in the thinking of popular culture which leads to wrong-headed policies in our legal system) that I see.

Oddly enough, they seem to describe themselves as leftists yet they are not the kind of ordinary mainstream leftist most people would understand to be "of the left." Which is strange because I never would have thought of myself as a liberal -- but not a conservative either. But maybe this is because of certain strands of liberalism I have been exposed to which are quite awful. 

In any case, why categorize oneself? As I study and learn more about society, I like to share various insights and not limit myself to any one "box" or "category" that I pigeonhole myself into.

Experiences of other family members with sexualized violence and torture and tying it to industry control over institutions

These are from comments I made on Naomi Wolf's Facebook page, and the chronological order is a bit screwed up as I am copying and pasting from Facebook.

    Damian Schloming oh and the ability of same industry special interests to deploy hit men and to also corrupt local governments and police forces in areas surrounding any particular academic institution can result in interesting situations where an institution may have no choice but to "go along" with such activities or otherwise be fairly defenseless against them. The corrupt handling of rape and silencing of victims is not always a personal choice on the part of a body that's supposed to be handling it -- sometimes it's something the industry allied federal government is very sneakily forcing some universities to engage in under the threat of death by hit man, even while same federal government goes and regulates the institution and threatens to with hold funding via title IX issues........but what we never find out about is how, it all works out in the end so that a university keeps its federal funds, the federal govt looks the other way with regard to the title ix violation the university actually had no choice but to engage in because they were forced into it by the feds sneakily, and industry gets some fraudulent pay off, aka academics agree to cover up and not whistle blow on some information they might know that might prove negative to the FDA approval some industry has before the FDA of a product (aka a product that should be banned because academics have discovered it is dangerous to public health) or other similar stuff like that. That's why it's important to understand we have a situation of rapists in govt and state sanctioned rape. the same govt that's allegedly so anti rape is full of rapists -- with the left hand rape with the right hand blackmail and demand favors to industry. And they are controlling everything.

    Damian Schloming But, anyway, the formula -- fascist -- which is used is is one that helps industry control science recommendations and other academic "opinions" and twist these opinions to industry's benefit. What's done is, a scientist or academic who is a designated "victim" will be exposed to certain information that is the truth that industry wants to cover up, will then be encouraged to tell others what the truth is, usually this victim is someone they know is innocent and doesn't know how the system works, aka doesn't know about how they should keep quiet about certain things, and then afterwards that's when they get tortured, brutalized, raped, subject to police brutality, and all sorts of other problems, and then their peers are encouraged to participate in social ostracism and all sorts of cruelty. Generally speaking, the government does its best to encourage as many of a person's peers as possible to participate in the brutalizing of this one person - a witch hunt atmosphere is encouraged -- which helps serve both the cause of intimidation, and blackmail. And then, afterwards, the end result is whatever truth may have potentially been discovered will be covered up. Because all involved have either been victimized so badly, made examples of, and dealt with in ways to ensure their silence, or the rest of them are themselves criminals, cannot expose what they know without exposing their own complicity in the matter, complicity which may have been something they were REQUIRED to engage in, if they didn't want to be one of the victims. It's a formula, obviously one that woks, so it's applied over and over again in different situations.

    Damian Schloming But, yeah, everything we are being told about how the government's nutrition recommendations in the 60s were wrong -- my mother knew all about that and would tell me about it growing up. It wasn't just that they were wrong in a misguided way -- it was deliberate fraud. And, if my mother knew, how could Jean Mayer not have known?

    Damian Schloming And that's only my brother. If you read recent articles newly out, you'll learn that all of the nutrition recommendations in the 60's revolving around the alleged unhealthiness of saturated fat and cholesterol were bunk. Well, my mother has been telling me all when I was growing up about how she used to work for Jean Mayer of the Harvard School of Public Health -- whom, btw, she was totally no longer communicating with even though she still maintained close ties with plenty of other people she knew around that time -- and she knew FOR A FACT that the data was fraudulent, numbers were fixed, and that this was done solely for the benefit of the food industry, grains manufacturers like General Mills. She also told me about Jean Mayer and how he would sleep with the women he supervised. And, I personally believe there is something she is covering up and, if I try to get information out of her, like tell her I think I kind of know she had the same types of experiences that I had, she'll be kind of evasive or hint that she already has hinted to me over the years what I need to know to figure it out. But, I'm not really comfortable going out on a limb too much though I kind of think I know what probably happened. Anyway, if you look at Jean Mayer's career, you will see he turned Tufts into a world class institution by attractive huge amounts of money from industry and he established the first graduate school in nutrition there. However, I think you can also see his whole career and success are based on fraud and lies -- benefiting industry at the expense of the public by making false recommendations designed to boost profits, and being rewarded in return. I believe he may have been involved in a very well organized campaign involving organized crime, sexual harassment, rape, attempted murder or even some actual murders, all sorts of extremely despicable abuse with my mother one of the individuals being made an example of, all of which was part of a campaign designed to successfully ensure the intimidation and silence of various credible people at Harvard who could have or would have otherwise whistle blown and exposed the lies/fraud.

    Damian Schloming I ought to write a summary -- but one thing I'll say. Yeah, everything we know from Edward Snowden I kind of knew before he came out and did his thing. But, I first started learning about it from my brother, Lucas Schloming, who worked at the federal reserve for awhile when Bill Clinton was president. First heard about both govt surveillance AND the kind of torture in hospitals by medical professionals that Naomi Wolf speaks of in the Sex Crimes in the White house article on the huffington post. He told me about it because they did it to him -- after he solved an economics problem that had allegedly been baffling high level economists for years. The solution he came up with to the problem was, it was about regulations where they were estimating the "dead weight loss" cost of regulation -- and the numbers weren't adding up. He got the numbers to add up by theorizing that businesses were engaging in corruption, getting around the regulations through bribery, and if you add in a factor for "corruption" you can get the numbers to add up. He instantly started having all sorts of problems that included being date rape drugged, sexualized torture, etc.

    Damian Schloming And here is an interesting perspective on Meaghan Ybos -- there are aspects of her case which the New York Times covered up. Not only that, but after I confronted Nicholas Kristoff on his Facebook page about the selective reporting, and posted a copy of what she said about her experiences with rape that the NYT did not cover, later on you can see (I documented it all) that the Facebook post disappeared, aka the NYT must have communicated with her or her lawyer and asked her to delete it. I still have a copy of what she said. Later on, there is a copy of other conversations where she and other victims of the same serial rapist talk about their experiences with the cops - it's obvious the police were deliberately protecting this man for some reason -- and I eventually sound off on it. And I'm later blocked, but I still have copies of the conversation. One thing that's very clear -- unlike Heather Marlowe who is merely an artist who has to worry about finding, Meaghan Ybos and her family are suing the city, working with an attorney, and I know how attorneys "handle" victims of police corruption and brutality. They help the victims get payoffs from the city commensurate with willingness to cover up any and all aspects of a case that might make the city look bad. And attorneys will often bully their own clients, pretty badly, to achieve this. So, knowing how the system operates, I'm not surprised. However, in this conversation, this is the first time I ever confided to anyone about experiences other family members of mine have had that were basically identical in many ways to mine -- almost as if the same fascist formula keeps getting applied. So this is very interesting. https://damian-schloming.squarespace.com/interesting.../

    Damian Schloming Well, in the spirit of that, I've posted this website link in response to posts regarding CIA torture and sexualized torture carried out by the US government. However, I've also had conversations with female rape victims, some of whose stories are what I'd call "semi-public" who have told me things that suggest THEIR experiences with rape are not at all that different from mine. I call their stories semi-public because what's clear is, all elements or aspects of their stories which violate popular narratives have been censored by the media. So, in other words, in my case you have total media black out -- but then with plenty of female rape victims, you have black out of selected details. And, what you have is a media that is superficially "sympathetic" to rape victims, allegedly "feminist" and then you learn, if you dig deeper, it's very much a "with friends like this you don't need enemies" situation. https://damian-schloming.squarespace.com

    Damian Schloming Oh and another interesting thing I remember. With other families I don't know too many details, but I remember my grandmother telling me when I was a teenager about how she worked in the same building as the Harvard men who discovered the cure for hemophilia, which she told me was a disease that ran in a lot of royal families. I wonder why she told me that, but when I google search, what I find interesting is, the cure for hemophilia was allegedly discovered at Harvard in 1937 -- that was exactly the time my grandparents first met and right when my mother was conceived out of wed lock. I sort of wonder, isn't there some amount of historical evidence suggesting the cure for hemophilia could have been discovered decades earlier and maybe used to exert leverage over the Russian Royal Family through Rasputin? I mean, I do know, control over medicine and the medical system is a major tool that gets used with fascism and all that, and so the timing of cures, when they are really discovered and when they are officially discovered, can sometimes be very political.

    Damian Schloming And here is what I wrote below about my great grandfather, who was in prison in fascist Italy for political reasons, and later had medical experiments done on him which I think were done in America, not Italy (I'm not exactly sure) but I do know he testified in the Sacco and Vanzetti case, and all this prior history on him was covered up. Again, fits the same pattern. I think it's a bit odd how some newspapers argue he was an illiterate peasant yet after he so testified in the Sacco and Vanzetti case, my grandfather got admitted to Harvard. He wasn't really an illiterate peasant, he was a genius, but still. Harvard tended not to admit the sons of illiterate peasants at the time -- even doubly so if one of them had a father who testified on behalf of the defense for a high profile case involving organized crime and bank robbery and murder. .......... "And I think previous generations in my family also had similar problems. My great grandfather, you can read about him below. First of all, he wasn't really an illiterate peasant, I don't know what he was but he wasn't illiterate, he was a genius, yet some of the news articles called him an illiterate peasant when he testified in the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Furthermore, he testified in that case immediately upon returning to America right AFTER he had been imprisoned by Mussolini for political reasons, and I think while his wife may still have been in prison for political reasons (not sure about that though). What's left out of the following blurb on him is how he had medical experiments forcibly done on him, which lead to him dying young of bone cancer since these experiments included radiation poisoning. I don't know where these experiments were but I think they might have been in the USA, not Italy. But I'm not sure about that. I never really asked my grandfather to elaborate. But, anyway, it would appear he was some sort of holocaust survivor or escapee (but from Italy, not Germany)-- and then goes to testify AGAINST the government on behalf of the DEFENSE in the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Nothing about this sordid past ever gets in the newspapers. And then he gets government contracts apparently, I am pretty sure his tile business was after he so testified, which is very irregular. The government only rewards witnesses who testify ON BEHALF of the government, not who testify AGAINST the government. Also, my grandfather got admitted to Harvard right afterwards too. The government always rewards people or "takes care" of them like that if they have done the government some kind of favor -- maybe his testimony and certain things he may have covered up there, including ways in which that investigation was corrupt, might have been reason for getting govt contracts AFTER he testifies on behalf of the defense? Anyway, that's just another example of the same pattern, and I think the way it may work the government is capable of compromising whole families, and forcing one generation to help them manipulate and visit abuse on other generations. And the selective deploying of certain criminal types, along with connections between career criminals and "legitimate" government officials help things so members of the "legitimate system" can go ensure compliance in certain ways. Or it's like they can have certain families between a rock and a hard place -- trapped between the "legitimate" government system with its written rules and due process AND between career criminals members of the "legitimate" government can deploy against certain people in certain instances. http://www.theanarchistwine.com/epilogue/DC Estate wines - epilogueDC Estate wines is a premier wine cellar and retail store in Bethesda, MD with an assortment of fine wines "
