Whatever the case may be, just going to intensives or workshops is not enough. It’s important to maintain any shifts, revelations, or improvements after the first healing experience with the following four things:
*Consistent Support: Decades of dysfunctional behavior can’t be eliminated in a weekend. To keep your head right, it’s important to retain a regular regimen of individual or, even better, group therapy with others who share similar wounds. Even if it’s just a monthly or bi-monthly hour-long phone call.
*Self care: If you take care of your mind, body, and soul through healthy eating, exercise, positive self-talk, appropriate boundaries, sleeping well, and a practice such as yoga or meditation, you will be less vulnerable to your past dysfunctional behaviors and beliefs. A lack of self care typically leads to a lack of self regulation.
*Tools: Through therapy, reading, and research, you can gather tactics and techniques for retaining your new healthy, functional behavior and thoughts. Sometimes, when under too much pressure, stress, or poor self-care, you may begin to backslide into old habits of dysfunctional behavior. And it’s important to use a tool here—for example, using non-violent communication, focusing on slow diaphragm breathing, or having an inner dialogue to soothe your agitated inner child—to keep from going over the psychological cliff.
*Patience: When cleaning a room, it gets more messy before it gets orderly. The same is true of cleaning your mind. Often, as you begin the healing process, you will begin feeling the pain or shame that your dysfunctional behavior was protecting you from. But if you can tolerate those raw feelings and process them in a healthy way this time, then you will no longer need the dysfunctional behavior. It won’t have a purpose because there’s no longer any toxic shame or pain to avoid. At other times, a behavior or belief that you thought you defeated may rear its head again. Don’t get frustrated. Think of self-improvement as climbing a mountain. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’re in the same place you started, but the truth is that you’ve climbed higher and you’re just looking at the same view.
If you’re ready to start exploring your psyche, unpacking your emotions, and healing your wounds (and we’re all wounded in varying degrees), here are a few places and therapies I recommend starting with.
I’ve focused on the centers, counsellors, and therapies I had positive experiences with while writing The Truth. As such, some of the sections focus on relationship healing.
There are of course many other workshops and therapies that have helped others. So if you’d like to add your own recommendations, please do so in the Comments section here: www.neilstrauss.com/neil/trauma-healing/.

I have yet to find a good website for finding a group, and recommend reaching out to local therapists you trust or forming one yourself with a professional faciliatator. If all else fails, here’s a possible online resource to start with: https://groups.psychologytoday.com/rms/
ON New Year’s Eve, in the shadow of Cologne’s cathedral, crowds of North African and Middle Eastern men accosted women out for the night’s festivities. They surrounded them, groped them, robbed them. Two women were reportedly raped.
Though there were similar incidents from Hamburg to Helsinki, the authorities at first played down the assaults, lest they prove inconvenient for Angela Merkel’s policy of mass asylum for refugees.
That delay has now cost Cologne’s police chief his job. But the German government still seems more concerned about policing restless natives — most recently through a deal with Facebook and Google to restrict anti-immigrant postings — than with policing migration. Just last week Merkel rejected a proposal to cap refugee admissions (which topped one million last year) at 200,000 in 2016.
The underlying controversy here is not a new one. For decades conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic have warned that Europe’s generous immigration policies, often pursued in defiance of ordinary Europeans’ wishes, threaten to destabilize the continent.
The conservatives have made important points about the difficulty of assimilation, the threat of radicalization, and the likelihood of Paris-style and Cologne-style violence in European cities.
But they have also trafficked in more apocalyptic predictions — fears of a “Eurabia,” of mass Islamification — that were somewhat harder to credit. Until recently, Europe’s assimilation challenge looked unpleasant but not insurmountable, and the likelihood of Yugoslavian-style balkanization relatively remote.
With the current migration, though, we’re in uncharted territory. The issue isn’t just that immigrants are arriving in the hundreds of thousands rather than the tens of thousands. It’s that a huge proportion of them are teenage and twentysomething men.
Comments posted at NYTimes.com:
* Finally a realistic article in the NYT about the invasion that is taking over Europe. Forget it, Europe is lost. Our aim now should be to watch out so it doesn’t happen to us.
* Andrea Merkel’s “humanitarian arrogance” is mind boggling. She invites “no-limits” wave of refugees to Europe and then takes on the dictatorial task of distributing the masses of uncontrolled you men amongst her fellow European countries. Why should Hungary, Austria, Macedonia etc accept the consequences of her disastrous decision to have a million people from an incompatible cultural background move into small towns where they would be in the majority, and most likely stay amongst their own instead of being integrated? Even the German police in internal memos admits that they are powerless when confronting this massive wave of young men with no documents proving where they came from. The solution being discussed right now is hiring more police in Germany, Austria and Sweden and increasing video surveillance in public areas. Who wanted that? Not the population of these places. This is one person’s attempt to look strong and make up for the past sins of the Nazi era.
* So the left is saying that Muslim immigrants are free to rape at will, yet they were ready to execute white fraternity boys over unproven accusations.
* You’re absolutely right, and most of the people in Germany think exactly the same. On New Year’s Eve Arabian and North-African immigrants committed sexual crimes all around Germany, not only in Cologne. The German administration failed to handle it, but the most disappointing and alarming is what mass media did: denying, appeasing, and of course morally teaching. And it wasn’t the first time something like that happened. There are a lot of reports of girls and young women who were harassed and accosted by young male immigrants. But you only read about on Facebook or Twitter.
Many of Germans even of my age around 40 think about leaving Germany. You think Germany is on the brink? We’re already one step further; we’re already falling.
* Of course it means closing the borders for the time being. I agree wholeheartedly. There is something seriously wrong with Merkel’s mindset. She has put her entire country at risk. And if the German people pay a heavy price for her gross failure as leader of Germany, then I can only hope that justice prevails and that her self-righteous posture – at the expense of her nation – will cost her dearly, too. What she has done is monstrous.
The fact that the bulk of the asylum seekers are young men speaks volumes about their devotion to family, particularly their female family and the nation they abandoned, And there is no reason to believe that they will hold any more regard for Germany, her female citizens, her customs or her laws, as demonstrated in Cologne. Germany now has a tiger by the tail. At the very least, I hope Merkel pays the political price.
* I’ve never found myself in the position of agreeing with Mr. Douthat before, but his blinders-free assessment of the risks and dangers that the influx of refugees is bringing to Europe is absolutely accurate. Its not politically correct to say so, but the core values of Islam are not compatible with the Enlightenment based ones of western civilisation. Period. I have traveled extensively in the Islamic world, and if they’re many things I admire about this faith and its culture, it still essentially espouses a harsh medieval vintage set of laws and values that are not compatible with modern western life. The liberal fallacy is the relativism that attempts to place Islamic values on the same pedestal as western ones. This is dangerous nonsense, and if you don’t understand what I’m saying, just try imagining the Islamic countries offering state-funded refuge to hundreds of thousands of Christians fleeing from a civil war in Europe.
* Thank you NY time for bringing up what is also really concerning beside the horrible sex assualts at NYE across Europe: It is the breakdown of democracy in Germany with increasing limitations to free speech of press and public and controlled misinformation of the citizens. Merkel abuses since her selection this law issues after 2nd world war to prevent ongoing and upcoming nationalism in Germany to underline her power. Poeple in Germany are already brainwashed and society force you to indifferentiate welcoming of everything, if not,you are blamed as racist. So many years after Hitler and so many new generations borned after 2nd world war, Germany still feels guilty. But we need to face that each raped german women won’t bring back any murdered jew. We cannot change the history.
Thank you for this sentence:
“It means giving up the fond illusion that Germany’s past sins can be absolved with a reckless humanitarianism in the present.”
but that also takes in responsibilty all international press which like to remind and link Germany to Nazi all the time again, which makes it more difficult to build healthy german self-confident which is crucial for stabile democracy.
* There is no doubt that Germany and other EU countries must deny asylum to young males or they will have a repeat of new year’s eve in Cologne in every EU city which was naive enough to accept refugees without foreseeing the problems ahead.
Despite photographer and journalists’ effort to portray the tramp of refugees through the EU as being composed of woman and children, any viewer watching this parade could see for themselves that the bulk of the migrants were young males.
The various sob stories in major newspapers of the women and children on the march conveniently overlooked the fact that the majority were young males. Our press did us a disservice by lying to us about who were making the journey to Europe.
It would be best to declare young males, economic migrants, deny them asylum and deport them. Do not give them refugee status and forget the cries of Human Rights Organization who seem to care very little what happened to the women, deport them even if that means sending them back to Syria or Iraq. The point is they should not be allowed to wander free in the EU, raping and robbing young women. SHed no tears for these young males = they are not worth it.
* I have been waiting for an honest assessment like this one since I first saw the masses of young Muslim men crossing Europe! Most were claiming to be Syrians but without any real documents and without being registered, while Andrea Merkel actively suppressed information about the huge gender disparity and the lack of cooperation from many of the refugees. The trouble, rapes, tribal infights, traditional conflicts between different religions etc. inside the migrant camps and on the trail had been documented early on by small local newspapers in Greece, Hungary and their neighbors, but was willfully ignored by the German government, possibly to avoid an early panic and disrupt the propaganda of photogenic “Willkommen”-groups who were being overwhelmed with demands for their volunteering work immediately. Merkel’s “no limits” invitation to continue this madness has to stop, and I am happy to see that even the NYTimes, after stalling for months, has finally come to see the dangers of this uncontrolled migration of young men, many of which have no concept of or respect for Western values. I grew up over there, and the disrespect shown by the hordes of young men to the police, the women, and the culture is astounding and makes me sad.
* Merkel acted in a very rash, arrogant manner. She proceeded as the owner of Germany and Europe. Instead of consulting with the European “partners” she went full steam ahead. When the policy failed then she demanded that Europe act with solidarity and take in refugees numbers that her policy recklessly created. She obviously did not think through the problem of allowing a million people from different culture unwilling to adept and to compromise; she was thinking of the labor pool and now she created a mess for Germany and Europe. Hopefully, more sober minds will take over and replace this wrecking ball named Merkel.
* I am German and only can underline your observations on the current situation in Germany/Europe, caused by one person alone, the “Woman of the year”. We are facing a situation, were German press/media deliver ONLY the government ponit of view (Migrants are positive, there are no terrorists, the rapes and robberies are just cultural orginalities of the “refugees” (sorry, what is mass rape by arabs other than terror?). Any other thoughts get supressed (also by facebook etc), any dissent is blamed as “Nazi”-origin.
The terrorists of Paris in Nov, and also the most current two days ago, were “refugees” moving from Germany to their targets. (Reminds me to M. Atta, who also came from Hamburg). I hope, that governments from EU and US accuse Merkel at an international court for constant abetting terrorists, providing them with nice an comforatble rest zones in Germany, supported with tax money. (BTW: Tax money is also misused to pay left-radical demonstrants (ANTIFA) to desturb the anti-islamic Pegida demonstrations).
I fear, that we soon will be facing riots and even worse, a destabilisation of Europe, due to the incompetence and arrogance of the German govenrment (fully supported by the left-wing opposition), while more than 80% of German citizens do not support this way. The pressure in the pot is close to explosion.
* The truth is that almost no respected newspaper in Germany would dare to publish such a comment. Many of the statements in this comment are considered far-right populism in Germany, and anybody who publicly discusses such concerns will be villainized and banned from public discourse promptly.
* I’ve lived my whole life in Sweden and considered it a safe country where you can walk outside and not have to constantly look over your shoulder. That is not the case anymore. Streets, malls and trains that are flooded with people who do not speak Swedish, who are rude, disrespectful. Men who openly accost women, teenagers who walk in packs, trying to scare people. These are the so-called refugees that we have been forced to take in without asking what we want. I also see these so-called refugees with new iPhones, speaking so loudly that they’ve been asked to leave the bus/train that they are on and refusing. I see them saying they’re refugees and they can’t pay for a train ticket while they clutch their iPhone in one hand and with their slicked back hair and leather jackets. The massive amounts of men that have arrived who openly leer at every woman and the women who walk with their 8+ kids and one in the belly, shopping all day. The man who was arrested for a group rape but was released because he refused to give his DOB and proclaimed to be a minor. The men who savagely butchered two innocent people in Ikea. The man who raped/tortured a woman on the train and later left her posed in the woods, with a large rock on top of her. These men were all refugees. I challenge you to visit Europe, visit Sweden. Let me know if you feel safe here daytime. Let me know if you recognize what country you are in. This is a country I want to flee from. Maybe I’ve become the refugee.
* Where are the German men? Are they so emasculated by political correctness that they are afraid to protect their women from Muslim rapists? Why are German men allowing thamselves to be castrated by Merkel and the female mayor of Cologne? For God’s sake grow a pair, round up the thugs and throw them out.
* First of all it is nice to be able to inform yourself via the internet and if you are able to speak other languages you can even read news from other countries. Because of this in these days i prefer to read news from abroad. I had to go that way, because, i´m german and live in Berlin, you cannot believe anything what the media or any of the politicians in my country are saying. If you criticize the mass immigration in a rational kind of way, you are being called a “hetzer (engl. agitator i believe), nazi or the like even though your arguments are as responsible as you could imagine. I am 30 years now and have ever since i am allowed to vote in elections voted for the green party (which split up from the social democrats in the 80s) and am stunned how incompetent and naive the politicians, opposition and coalition are when i see this mess worsen by every day.
Because of the fact that the german press needed 4 days to inform the country about the sex attacks after many people talked about it on Facebook, the fact that police stations have strict orders that the police is not allowed to speak about refugee crimes through the hole country because it could be political delicate and could play into the hands of the right party afd (alternative für deutschland) i feel like now i´m living in a country which behaves very similar to the misinformation and story telling manners of the eastern german former communist republic of germany.
* These are the first sensible words I’ve seen on this subject.
Too little, too late.
The Roman Empire failed when it abrogated centuries-old policies to allow uncontrolled immigration of barbarians.
* The sexual assault against the women in Cologne pressed the pause and think about it more thoroughly buttons especially for Merkel who has been tone deaf all throughout.
The Politico article that Douthat referenced made compelling points about paying attention to gender ratios and the % of the refugee population against that of the host country’s by age subsets instead of looking at it as a whole.
Its turning out that the devil is in the details and Angela Merkel’s hurried policy has not thought it through. And it shows.
* The Euro fools have permitted their idiot Prog elites to lead them down the disastrous path of Multiculturalism and other self destructive Leftist policies and in doing so have been relegated to victim class collateral damage in the march to imaginary Utopia. The barbarians are inside the gates. This is only the beginning. Europe and European culture are toast.
* It is horrifying to contemplate the rivers of blood that will be spilled as a result of the U.S. and Europe’s long history of manipulation and exploitation of the Middle Eastern people, the majority of whome follow the equally exploitative and manipulative Muslim religion. There are mountains of accountability on both sides, but now there can be no peaceful resolution to the conflict created as a result. It is not hard to imagine a war, that will last far longer than any before it, consuming the lives of countless innocent souls. Blood does not wash away blood.
* Indeed Mr. Douthat, Angela Merkel must go. She made an epic blunder by opening the floodgates. I didn’t think that the chickens would come home to roost quite as quickly as they have, with this appalling incident in Cologne, but now we have gotten a taste of what lies ahead for Germany. Hopefully this rampage will bring Europe to its senses, and there will be forceful action to stop this invasion.
*
I considered myself a liberal and I am sympathetic to the plight of people escaping wars and our humanitarian duty to help them. However, I also think the liberals are burying their heads in the sand thinking only of humanitarianism for the refugees and ignore the high probability of consequences as described here by Douthat whom I usually disagree with.
History have shown that, especially in large number, people do not adapt and assimilate easily, let alone quickly. The small enclaves of Muslim communities around Europe illustrate this well. Even in the land of immigrants, we still have so called China town, or clusters of Korean Vietnamese, Cuban, Hispanics, Middle Eastern communities, etc. in our cities. Islam in particular, has been slow in catching up with modernism and pluralism that is necessary and crucial for ensuring peace in our very diverse world.
This is a particularly precarious time of disenchantment of increased disparity of wealth and disappearing middle class. Disenfranchised people, Muslims or non-Muslims, or lost young people, I think are more susceptible to being manipulated and hook on to the delusional version of Islam spin by ISIS. To point this out is not being Islamaphobic or xenophobic, but simply being realistic.
* Why has it not been considered what is done in the UAE countries, where they issue only temporary work permits but not citizenship or even residence? They do not have to be either totally shut out or be awarded full citizenship.
* I have lived in France since 1972 so you can believe me when I say that I know what is happening here. France, since the end of the French/Algerian war has been inundated with north Africans so now we are on the third generation. These people have never adapted or as the French government now says assimilated (realizing the mistakes that were made) to the French way of life. In many parts of France (Marseille is the perfect example) you would think that you are in Algiers. Couscous instead of Boeuf Bourguignon. Since the Arab Spring thousands of people from Muslim countries have been entering Europe illegally… The figures published are wrong and you can be sure that around 2 million have entered just this year. To think that these people are going to ‘become Europeans’ is either naive or extremely stupid. What Frau Merkel has done by inviting these people in, many European are already qualifying as the genocide of the Europeans. All of these people should have been sent to Muslim countries and there are enough of them. The truth is that neither Saudi Arabia nor any of the Gulf States want millions of refugees but they sure do welcome rich tourists. When Marine Le Pen said last April that of the migrants coming in around 75% of them were young men (who should be back in their own countries fighting) she was insulted, but right..All this has done is endanger the European populations. In 732 Charles Martel kicked them out of France, could it happen again?
* If these migrants were the children of educated professionals from Aleppo and Damascus, this migration might have had good as well as bad consequences. They could actually have educated themselves, found jobs, and have been productive members of society. But these are largely the teen-aged offspring of semi-literate farmers from Syria’s rural Sunni belt. They are hundreds of years behind Europe developmentally. They are not suitable marriage partners for European women. But to keep them from raping European women, they will have to be allowed to bring in brides from rural Middle-Eastern countries, who will replicate Salafist islam in the heart of Europe. And generous European welfare benefits will generate a Salafist population explosion.
Sigmar Gabriel and the Social Democrats who effectively dominate the German ruling coalition (despite Merkel’s nominally being the head) must put aside the partisan advantage they get from overwhelmingly winning the Muslim vote, and act together with the Christian Democrats to protect their country, rather than their own political fortunes, by cutting off any aid to those rejected for asylum, and imprisoning those who do not go back to where they came from. If those rejected for asylum are allowed to stay simply because their country of origin does not welcome them back with open arms, it will be the end of Germany as a safe country.
Court hears gang of conmen used book called The Game: Penetrating the Society of Pick Up Artists as a seduction manual
A wealthy businesswoman used her mother’s company to hand dating fraudsters £1.6 million after they duped her into believing she had met the man of her dreams by using a seduction manual.
The woman, who is in her 40s and from Hillingdon, North West London, became besotted after meeting a man online who called himself Christian Anderson.
He claimed he was an oil engineer working in Africa and declared his love for her.

* People forget how big an issue busing was in the late 60s early 70s. Americans in big cities would put up with a lot of government imposed crap, but neighborhood schools were a part of the national secular faith. Suddenly federal judges were telling you your seven year old son had to take a 45 minute bus ride to school instead of walking three blocks. Because punishing you was the only way to redress 200 years of racism. Smart Power.
* It didn’t help that adding black students to the classroom only lowered the likelihood of learning occurring. Parents understood this. Word got around and not all teachers of that era were Lefty loons, at least not in the South. I was bused and my mom told me years later she couldn’t believe the stories I’d bring back from school. Parents compared notes and discovered they were all hearing the same remarkable stories (black students who couldn’t read, wouldn’t pay attention, etc.). This was an era when discipline was strictly imposed on white children by their parents and expected out of the school system (we had to close the education gap with the Soviets after all). It is also a big reason people fled to the suburbs and explains the creation of new cities (and thus school districts) in the suburban south as well as the growth in private schools.
* The problems caused by the influx of muslim migrants into Europe should convince Americans to fight against allowing massive muslim immigration into America. A smart politician like Trump will know how to use the raping of European women by the invading muslims to his advantage.
* If the Germans bring in a million+ horny Muslim males 20-35 years of age (sans women), who on earth is going to sexually service them? A few furtive holiday gang groping are the least of their problems going forward.
If they really want to solve the problem of public fondling and rape with (what used to be) typical hard-headed German efficiency and rationality, they need to establish a federal Comfort Woman Corps and set up “Comfort Stations” across the country.
* The Netflix documentary Making a Murderer has been getting a lot buzz. It’s about a fairly dumb family in Wisconsin getting railroaded by law enforcement, and has many HBD implications. If it were set in Detroit, with a black family, it would be about social justice. But it does show how the world is a dizzying and complicated place for those who are not too bright, and I’m reminded of Steve’s excellent Vdare articles on how to help those on left side of the bell curve — such as limiting low-skilled immigration.
Two people in the show don’t know the meaning of the word “inconsistent.” Sailer writes, unlike the military, “lawyers, regulators, consultants, academics, and others who profit from abstruseness increasingly dominate the rest of America.”
Perhaps the Blacks Lives Matter movement is not so much about the disproven violence against blacks, but a ginned up frustration at complexity and being outsmarted. The same could be said for alleged micro-aggressions, as Sailer has suggested.
* When blacks were educated by other blacks, there were several advantages. They did not try to educate students above their capacity, and they were usually somewhat motivated to educate the kids who could and wanted to be educated as well as they could. The black teachers were part of the black community because for them there was no other community: unlike “the talented tenth” today, they were not honorary whites isolated from the black underclass. And it’s a fair assumption that rambunctious but somewhat educable black males would get an ass whipping on occasion which kept them in some semblance of order. Ineducables were kicked out or put in a ‘tard corral’ somewhere.
Hiring black retired drill sergeants to discipline inner city schools is a damn good idea, BTW.
It only happened because good people kept saying we have to do something. When congregants at Bnai Keshet the Reconstructionist synagogue I serve asked, “What can we do to help Syrian Refugees,” I introduced them to each other and passed on emails from HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society). One congregant said, “We have to do something to oppose the current anti-Muslim rhetoric. Christmas is on a Friday this year. Let’s invite one of the mosques we have worked with over for a Friday night dinner of Chinese food.” I said yes and introduced her to the first congregant.
And then, because of their wonderful efforts I ended up in our sanctuary with about 50 people from 10 Syrian families and about 80 members of my synagogue and community. The room was packed and at every table American Jews and Syrian Refugees were smiling and trying to communicate. Everyone had name tags in English, Hebrew and Arabic and with very few words beyond each other’s names, extraordinary warmth and gratitude was expressed.
With the help of an interpreter, I prepared to share with them our own story of this strange night. I began to speak of my own grandfather who paid smugglers and ran across borders at the age of 14 to be reunited with his family. I told our guests that I saw reflections of our own stories in them. That if they were to ask almost any Jewish person they met, they would hear a story of a parent or grandparent who had fled danger to come to the US. That most had arrived penniless. As my own voice caught, I looked at the interpreter a first generation Syrian immigrant herself who had stopped speaking because she was crying. “She said I am sorry but I can’t help it.” As I looked out I saw a room full of watery eyes.
The following letter, signed by more than 1000 American Rabbis, was delivered by HIAS to all members of Congress on December 2, 2015.
We, Rabbis from across the country, call on our elected officials to exercise moral leadership for the protection of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
Since its founding, the United States has offered refuge and protection to the world’s most vulnerable. Time and time again, those refugees were Jews. Whether they were fleeing pogroms in Tzarist Russia, the horrors of the Holocaust or persecution in Soviet Russia or Iran, our relatives and friends found safety on these shores.
We are therefore alarmed to see so many politicians declaring their opposition to welcoming refugees.
Last month’s heartbreaking attacks in Paris and Beirut are being cited as reasons to deny entry to people who are themselves victims of terror. And in those comments, we, as Jewish leaders, see one of the darker moments of our history repeating itself.
In 1939, the United States refused to let the S.S. St. Louis dock in our country, sending over 900 Jewish refugees back to Europe, where many died in concentration camps. That moment was a stain on the history of our country – a tragic decision made in a political climate of deep fear, suspicion and antisemitism. The Washington Post released public opinion polling from the early 1940’s, showing that the majority of U.S. citizens did not want to welcome Jewish refugees to this country in those years.
In 1939, our country could not tell the difference between an actual enemy and the victims of an enemy. In 2015, let us not make the same mistake.
We therefore urge our elected officials to support refugee resettlement and to oppose any measures that would actually or effectively halt resettlement or prohibit or restrict funding for any groups of refugees.
As Rabbis, we take seriously the biblical mandate to “welcome the stranger.” We call on our elected officials to uphold the great legacy of a country that welcomes refugees.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer is recovering after he was shot several times during an ambush late Thursday night in West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross says the officer, identified as 33-year-old Jesse Hartnett, was sitting in his patrol car around 11:30 p.m. at 60th and Spruce Streets when a gunman fired nearly a dozen shots through the driver’s side of the car.
“Shots fired! I’m shot! I’m bleeding heavily!” Officer Hartnett was heard yelling on police radio.
Police are calling it an “attempted assassination.”

Professor Albert S. Lindemann writes in his book Anti-Semitism Before the Holocaust: “In both the Italian and Hungarian cases, the relatively low levels of anti-Semitism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries can be related to the perception of the non-Jewish population that their Jewish fellow citizens were useful to and supportive of them, not alien or destructive.”
Anti-Nazi Austen Chamberlain said: “A Jew may be a loyal Englishman…but he is intellectually apart from us and will never be purely and simply English.”
Mark Twain said: “The Jew is substantially a foreigner wherever he may be, and even the angelis dislike foreigners.”
A lot of effort has been put into stuffing the UVA – Rolling Stone gang rape on broken glass hate hoax down the Memory Hole by making the scandal seem as boring and technical as imaginable: mistakes were made in following proper journalistic procedures. Nothing else to remember here, move along.
The key roadblock was to keep the words “catfishing” and “Haven Monahan” out of the public mind. If you understand how those two fit together, the story is hilarious: a super-girly girl, Jackie, catfishes a dream date “Haven Monahan” into digital existence to make a boy she likes, Ryan, jealous.
When that’s not working she makes up a story about Haven Monahan’s sexual assault. When that still doesn’t make Ryan fall in love with her, she switches back to having Haven send Ryan an email explaining why Ryan should fall in love with Jackie, cribbed from Dawson’s Creek and other romance shows for boy-crazy tween girls.
When that fails, Jackie slowly becomes aware over many months that if she can’t have Ryan, she can still have some of the attention she craves by portraying herself as a victim of campus rape culture. But of course she can’t call the police because she just made everything up. Dean Nicole Eramo recognizes that Jackie’s probably never going to talk to the police about her woozy story.
Eventually, Sabrina Rubin Erdely comes to town for Rolling Stone and between them they work up a doozy of a story. With publication, an actual Night of Broken Glass ensues with SJW vandals smashing the windows of the libeled fraternity house. Jackie then defends Dean Eramo when America’s feminists try to get the poor woman fired. It’s a complete fiasco, but nobody in the media seems to notice that Erdely’s article is absurd until Richard Bradley blogs about it five days later.
* I hadn’t heard of her claims of terminal illness until this article came out.
She came very close to destroying a lot of lives with her lies.
She may not have intended to when she set out on this path, but she never tried to stop the juggernaut once it got moving.
She and Erdley deserve whatever public shaming they get, and more.
* Lawsuits create legal documents and sworn statements that reporters can use with fewer problems than when they simply quote people on the street. Court documents are also a one-stop shop for making a deadline. Thus, the lawsuits have a chance of returning this stupid story back to public awareness.
* To those watching at home: study how Steve has been careful and persistent with this, working the angles and pitching things so that more mainstream types can take cues from him and broaden the message. THIS is how it’s done. THIS is how to win people over in e.g. the migrant situation, among others.
* And yet the Post will still not print Coakley’s name, on the basis that they do not print the names of rape victims. This in a story that clearly indicates that she was NOT a rape victim at all, but rather just a liar. Is there also a policy against printing the name of liars?
Many of the commenters pointed this out and gave Coakley’s full name and as of last night (the last time I looked) the Post was allowing these comments thru. Maybe they feel that if they don’t have their fingerprints on it, it’s OK. The whole “not printing” thing is getting ridiculous in the internet age where this information almost always becomes public anyway.
Incidentally, I learned from the comments that (a) Jackie has gained a good 60 lbs. or more and (b) has gotten married! As Mr. T would say, ” I pity the fool” who married her. In the old days she would have pretended to be pregnant to ensnare the guy in her web but what did she do this time?
* From T. Rees Shapiro’s linked article (emphasis added):
Duffin wrote: “So if I can just ask a question, then … Why did you tell us before the date ever happened that his name was Haven? Haven Monahan? A name that belongs to no UVA student ever? Why has the name changed since then?”
Jackie wrote back: “His last name was Monahan and he called himself Haven. His first name was John or Jake or something. And he was there that night but he was a bystander. He wasn’t involved. Not really.”
I never had noticed until now that the real first name of “Haven Monahan” was “John or Jake or something”. I am curious why Jackie Coakley muddled her story by making “Haven” merely a nickname for a Monahan whose real name is John.
In previous comments in this blog, I pointed out that a Monahan family surely was known to Coakley from Stafford, Virginia, where she grew up and participated in a swimming club.
Coakley become certified to work as a lifeguard while she attended Mountain View High School in Stafford, Virginia, in 2012. The best opportunity for Stafford high-school students to train as swimmers was to join an organization called YMCA Stingrays Swimming, which trains at the Goolrick Hall swimming pool at Mary Washington University in Fredericksburg, Virginia, about ten miles south of Stafford.
(I myself lived in Fredericksburg and then in Stafford during 1992-2000, and so I took a special interest in Coakley’s Stafford-Fredericksburg connection.)
The Stingrays star female swimmer around the year 2012 was Bailie Monahan of Colonial Forge High School in Stafford. For example, Monahan still holds the team records for the following races
* 100-meter butterfly
* 200-meter butterfly
* 400-meter intermediate medley
* 200-meter medley relay race
* 50-meter freestyle
Bailie Monahan was not only a superb athlete but also a superb student. She was awarded the title of USA Swimming Scholastic All-American in 2011 and 2012
Bailie Monahan is the daughter of Daniel Monahan, a US Marine Corp colonel, and has two younger brothers, Cullen and Nolan, who also are star athletes and competitive swimmers. However, both Cullen and Nolan Monahan are significantly younger than Jackie Coakley.
In Coakley’s yarn, she met John (aka Haven) Monahan while both of them were working as lifeguards at the University of Virginia’s swimming pool.
As far as I know, that Stafford Monahan family does not include any member named Haven or John, but Coakley’s own father is named John.
I speculate that Jackie Coakley enjoyed a fantasy of marrying into Stafford’s Monahan family. Since that family lacked a son whose age was appropriate for her, she imagined that the family had a somewhat older son (age appropriate for her) who went by the name “Haven”, but whose real name was “John”. Since she fantasized about marrying this imaginary “Haven Monahan”, she gave him the birth name “John”, which is the name of her own father, who perhaps symbolized a husband in her mind.
Perhaps there are some Freudian aspects of Coakleys fantasy about marrying into the Stafford Monahan family.
Another possibility is that John is the name of Coakley’s high-school classmate who appears in the photograph of “John (Haven) Monahan” that she showed to her university friends.
A name Jackie provided to the three friends of the student she was going to date did not match anyone at U-Va., and a photograph of the student the friends saw was actually of a man who was Jackie’s high school classmate and attended a different school in a different state. That man, reached by The Post, confirmed that the photos were of him but said he barely knew Jackie and had not been to Charlottesville in at least six years.
In other words, perhaps that guy in the photograph that Coakley showed to her friends at the University of Virginia is named “John or Jake or something.”
* An important element of modern journalism is to turn interesting, funny stories that contradict the narrative into dull, boring stories that are ignored after the first paragraph.
I’m betting the majority of the hoax hate crime stories are pretty hilarious in the hands of a competent writer.
* I believe that a degree of lying comes naturally to women. Consider: Makeup, plastic surgery, padded clothing of one kind or another, and behaviors calculated to make them appear vulnerable and in need of special protections, special mentoring and counseling, and affirmative action benefits. I call these “estrual displays and behaviors”. They are part of the mating game, pervasive in the human experience, and usually very effective and successful. In short, women have natural dispositions to project lives of illusion for calculated gain. Jackie Coakley and Sabrina Rubin are only doing what comes naturally to them.
* For all you guys out there, watch out. There is a bit of Jackie Coakley in all of them. They can turn on the tears for damn near anything.
There is a reason that Jewish law (halacha) and Muslim law (sharia) profoundly mistrust females, particularly in matters of sex and truthtelling.
* Jackie very likely went on a heavy-duty regimen of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication after her lies were exposed, which would explain the drastic weight gain.
Shapiro’s restraint and lack of sensationalism in reporting the story is admirable to me. One could argue that he and his editors intentionally tried to subdue various details to mute the craziness, but I feel that they respected their readers’ intelligence enough to know that the facts spoke for themselves. The story is so outrageous from all angles (and Jackie’s lies are the gift that keep on giving, even a year later) that if it were a movie, film critics would give it low ratings for lacking nuance and credibility.
I discovered Steve’s writing through Richard Bradley’s blog, having not heard of him before. At one point in the comment section, he alluded to being a controversial writer, so I looked him up. One of my favorite discoveries of the past year.
It’s curious that Bradley slowly abandoned his blog after his involvement with exposing the Rolling Stone article. I would think it’s a journalist’s dream to have a central role in uncovering a major fraud surrounding a hot national topic, but he completely walked away from it.
* This girl created tremendous disruption. A U Va. dean came within inches of having her career destroyed. A fraternity had its windows broken and was forced to close. The entire reputation of a major university, indeed of all young white men was besmirched. And so far Jackie has paid NO price at all. She was not indicted for any crime, she was not expelled for honor code violations, she has not been named in any civil suits, she has not even had her love life damaged. She has never even apologized. Her identity as a self proclaimed “victim” has magically shielded her up until this very minute (the WaPo STILL won’t print her name) even though it is abundantly clear that she is not a victim at all but a perpetrator of a fraud (while on the flip side, white males are automatically presumed to be guilty without any evidence at all – if the left didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.) Do you have any doubt that if Haven Monahan had really existed that he would not have been allowed to remain enrolled as a student at UVa?
In our system, people who have committed major offenses (and she has) are allowed to “get on with their life” only after they have paid their debt to society. This manipulative woman (she is no poor girl) hasn’t paid squat. My only hope is that people like Jackie tend to come to no good end on their own.
And of course, Steve was not bringing this up spontaneously – he was responding to a recent WaPo story which is turn was triggered by the information that has been revealed in connection with the pending lawsuits. So it was entirely newsworthy and appropriate.
Posted inJournalism, Rape|Comments Off on WP: ‘Catfishing’ over love interest might have spurred U-Va. gang-rape debacle
From the Chayenu on Torah portion Vayigash: “The last section of the parashah describes how Joseph prepared Egypt and its populace for the eventual enslavement of the Jewish people. This servitude had been foretold to Abraham in the ‘Covenant between the Halves,’ in which G-d informed Abraham that “your descendants will be foreigners in land that is not theirs, and the people will enslave them and oppress them.’ In order to alleviate their future suffering as much as possible, Joseph took advantage of the fact that only his storehouses of grain had survived the years of famine to amass first all the capital in Egypt and then to ‘purchase’ its citizenry as slaves. He then had the Eygptians circumcised and resettled them throughout Egypt. By so doing, Joseph ensured that future generations of Egyptians could never taunt their Jewish contemporaries for being refugees, slaves, or circumcised, since they themselves were the same (or children of the same). Once these goals had been achieved, there was no more technical need for the famine to continue…”
I wonder if the Egyptians resented Joseph and the Jews for enslaving them, for circumcising them, and for resettling them?
I wonder if Joseph realized that enslaving, circumcising and displacing the Egyptians might have negative consequences for Jews? It’s not like you can just do anything to the goyim and they won’t react with anger.

City authorities identified some suspects in the Cologne New Year’s Eve attacks as asylum seekers from Syria, detaining or questioning some of them, according to reports by local newspaper “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” and national daily “Die Welt,” which published an online preview of investigations by its “Welt am Sonntag” Sunday paper.
According to the newspapers’ reports, citing officers on duty on New Year’s Eve, officials checked the IDs of at least 100 people present at Cologne’s central station on December 31 after their behavior became conspicuous. Seventy-one people were identified, 11 people were remanded into custody and 32 criminal complaints were registered, according to the Welt am Sonntag (WamS) report.
“There were, quite to the contrary of what was said publicly, identity checks on numerous people,” the WamS quoted an unnamed officer as saying. “Most of them were recently-arrived asylum seekers.”
The first internal police report on the event – a so-called “wichtige Ereignis Meldung” (“important event announcement”) – spoke of a crowd mainly of “North African and Arab” origin. According to the Kölner Stadt-anzeiger, the officer leading the team at the station wanted the report to include mention of the Syrians and asylum seekers, but the senior officer writing the “WE-Meldung” decided not to, saying it would be “politically awkward.”
It is still unclear whether the same persons were involved in the assaults.
More:
WamS also received information contradicting another official statement by the city police, which said the main intention of the men in Cologne was to steal from passengers and that assault was secondary. However, “what actually happened was the exact opposite,” a police officer said on condition of anonymity.
“For the mostly Arabic offenders, sexual assault was the priority, or, to express it from their point of view, their sexual amusement was thepriority. A group of men would encircle a female victim, close the loop, and then start groping the woman,” WamS quoted the officer as saying.
The deputy chief of the trade union for police employees (the GdP), Ernst Walter, suggested that the Cologne police’s mishandling of the case could cost city police chief Wolfgang Albers his job: “I’m asking myself this,” Walter said. “How could the police publish a message on January 1, saying that New Year’s celebrations had been peaceful?”
So the authorities lied because the truth was “politically awkward.” And not just the authorities. Maajid Nawaz writes:
Though this all occurred on New Year’s Eve, the absolute scandal is that we only found out about it five days later. Amid accusations that it deliberately covered the incident up in order not to spark panic, the public broadcaster ZDF was forced to issue an apology for failing to include the assaults in its main evening news broadcast. It appears that, as the authorities and the media were choosing between stirring up racial tension and these women’s rights, we were faced with a conspiracy of silence.
Eventually, this was bound to happen. Recent mass migration patterns across Europe have meant that misogyny has finally come head to head with anti-racism, multiculturalism is facing off against feminism, and progressive values are wrestling with cultural tolerance.
Yes, it is racist to suspect that all brown men who look like me are rapists. It is bigoted to presume that all Muslim men who share my faith advocate religiously justified rape. It is xenophobic to assume that all male refugees are sexual predators awaiting their chance to rape. But let me be absolutely clear: What will feed this racism, bigotry, and xenophobia even more is deliberately failing to report the facts as they stand. Doing so only encourages the populist right’s rallying cry against “the establishment.”
If liberals do not address such issues swiftly, with complete candor and courage, the far-right and anti-Muslim populist groups will get there first. They have been doing so for a while now.
This is how it happens, though, in Europe, in America, everywhere: mainstream parties, institutions, and figures cannot bring themselves to deal with difficult truths, so they ignore them and dismiss people who pay attention to these things as racist, or otherwise bigoted. But the contradiction between observable reality and the Official Story may finally cause things to snap.
This, reported by the BBC, via Steve Sailer, only heightens the contradictions:
Ralf Jaeger, interior minister for North Rhine-Westphalia, said police had to “adjust” to the fact that groups of men had attacked women en masse.
Three suspects had been identified, he said, but no arrests had been made.
Scores of women say they were robbed or sexually assaulted by men, reportedly of Arab or North African appearance.
Mr Jaeger also warned that anti-immigrant groups were trying to use the attacks to stir up hatred against refugees.
“What happens on the right-wing platforms and in chatrooms is at least as awful as the acts of those assaulting the women,” he said. “This is poisoning the climate of our society.”
Right. Noticing what happened and drawing the “wrong” conclusions about it is “at least as awful” as actual rape and sexual assault. If Ralf Jaeger and the local authorities have any credibility at all with the German people, it is a miracle.
Liberals shouldn’t be afraid to ask hard questions. Young German women thankfully enjoy historically unprecedented economic and sexual freedom, with their expensive smartphones and their right to celebrate New Year’s Eve however they want. The same isn’t always true of young male migrants exchanging life under repressive regimes, where they may at least have enjoyed superiority over women, for scraping by at the bottom of Europe’s social and economic food chain. It is not madness to ask if this has anything to do with attacks that render confident, seemingly lucky young women humiliated and powerless. But even if it does, the answer wouldn’t be to halt immigration – even if that were possible, which it isn’t regardless of whether Britain leaves the EU – just in case a few immigrants are sexually aggressive, any more than the answer to Savile is to keep all men away from children.
Think about what you just read: a liberal woman columnist at the left-wing Establishment newspaper in the UK has just said that it is “not madness” to see the Arab immigrant rapists as victims of political oppression at home and economic oppression in Europe. Anything — anything — to protect the Narrative. European liberals would do much better to pay attention to their Maajid Nawazes than their Gaby Hinsliffs and Ralf Jaegers. But they won’t.
UPDATE: Chancellor Merkel says the assaults will have far-reaching consequences. Chancellor Merkel is also refusing to put a cap on the number of refugees Germany will take in this year. As long as the right hand doesn’t notice what the left hand is doing, hey, no problem!
