Behind the Bastards

In 1974, in his bestselling book, How to Get More Out of Sex, psychiatrist David Rubin urged mothers to get vaginal tightening surgery, calling it a simple procedure that could make a woman of 40 almost the same sexually as a girl of 18.

He claimed surgery could turn back the clock and turn post-birth vaginas from the Carlsbad Caverns and back into, and I'm so sorry that I have to read this phrase.

He's so poetic. And back into the penis's little grotto of pleasure.

So in 1975, he and his wife Joan co-authored a book.

Yeah, they wrote a book.

Joan was fully drinking the Kool-Aid but she didn't know any better because she was fucking 25 years younger.

The book was titled, I apologize for this too, Surgery of Love.

her first instruction...was received from a hoary headed fiend in human shape who had enticed her to a secluded place and their introduced her to all the nastiness which is depraved and sensual nature could devise

He would compensate for his physical shortcomings by energy, assertiveness, and a burning ambition to do something with his life, although he knew this would not be easy for a boy on the frontier.

According to Kellogg's later recollections, his parents prevented him from learning to read because given the imminence of the end of the world, acquiring such skills would be a waste of time.

Many people during the time believe that God visited people with disease as punishment for moral sins.

Sectarian health reformers, on the other hand, believe that whereas moral sins led to spiritual diseases, it was physiological sins that led to diseases of the body.

John Harvey's time at the college did wet his appetite for further medical training, this time at orthodox medical institutions, an idea he proposed to James White upon his return to Battle Creek.

He paid too close attention to the girlfriend of a French sailor who snapped a wine glass from its stem and slashed his handsome face.

She knew instantly that she had waited too long. Betty found her father paralyzed, watched carefully by guards. She took his hand and whispered in his ear Morse code.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you too. Skiziks.

She handed Lustig the menu, a book of nudes. These girls toil day and night earning Scheibel $250,000 a year. Lustig soon discovered Pittsburgh's Grand Duchess of Vice had piqued his interest.

India became to the whole brook dynasty an enduring and terrible example of how not to run a country.

He had found his niche a big fish in a small pond operating on the margins of established order and this was the kind of position to which he would gravitate all his life.

a few days after the general in command heard of a strong stockade being in front and sent out lieutenant Brooke to reconnoiter but he was not able to return in time to prevent the advance guard from falling into an ambush skade as the foremost company turned a corner in the road. They were received by a volley which knocked over a number of men in the midst of the confusion Brooke came galloping up putting himself at the head of the men charged and foremost fighting fell when the affair was over in the enemy driven from their stockades lieutenant Colonel Richards asked after lieutenant Brooke who he had seen fall and he was reported dead.

The want of regular training was of infinite disadvantage to young Brooke who thus started life with little knowledge and with no idea of self-control.

it was remembered that he never told a lie and demonstrated at an early age a character of the utmost nobility.

an all-boys adventure writ large upon the real world.

James always considered his actions to be genuinely for the benefit of locals whether the locals realized it or not so that his interests in theirs would naturally coalesce.

the solution was as always that they should charge even if this had to be on foot rather than on horseback as in India and it was Badruddin's overawing presence that would make them but the Malays wrong-footed James turns things around and refused to attack urging that they dared not risk Badruddin's precious royal life.

his infatuation with adolescence was being fully extended to the to include the whole supposedly childlike peoples.

And also they burned the 9-11 commission report.

The company imported workers from China, Ireland and elsewhere for the job, but most workers were blacks from Jamaica or Cartagena. The imported workers gave rise in 1853 and 1855 to epidemics of yellow fever, which previously had been rare, exploited, sick and full of despair.

Hundreds of Chinese workers and their families killed themselves en masse in 1854. More than 6000 laborers, perhaps twice that many died in the railroad's construction.

Coal mines, he told a room full of free blacks in August 1862, will afford an opportunity to the inhabitants for immediate employment till they get ready to settle permanently in their homes.

Columbia, however, saw the plan as a kind of subtle invasion. Central American countries were also opposed. And many free blacks in the United States greeted Lincoln's proposal with hostility. It was scrapped.

Mahan, who strongly influenced the young Theodore Roosevelt, believed that control of the sea determined the world's struggles for power and had done so throughout history.

Panama was a long-standing laboratory of U.S. imperial power.

the names of the 25 US soldiers killed during the invasion rolled across TV screens around the world. Yet a register of Panamanians killed during the invasion has never been published, even in Latin America.

Warren Farrell, for example, led a men's group within the National Organization for Women. He then in 1993 wrote The Myth of Male Power.

Farrell's work is generally seen as like simplistic and insensitive and inaccurate and bullshit and also the foundational text of what we now know as the men's rights movement.

That's what Warren Farrell, who wrote The Myth of Male Power, was arguing.

Among the propertied classes, he writes, the distinction between the poor wanting bread and a full-on communist revolutionary was often non-existent.

The rich would have to take their security into their own hands. If the government could not keep order, each man must look to his own.

The paranoid elites were not really so paranoid. The evidence strongly suggests, he writes, that had Roosevelt in fact been another Hoover, the United States would have followed seven Latin American countries whose governments had been overthrown by depression victims.

War Is a Racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about.

It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the very many.

Out of war, a few people make huge fortunes.

Our boys were sent off to die with beautiful ideals painted in front of them. No one told them that dollars and cents were the real reason they were marching off to kill and die.

Go read about the international brigades and the anarchist militias of Spain. Read George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.

But remember that it's a single dude's perspective who had no understanding of the broader tactical situation because he was just a dude fighting.

Orwell was there for most of this part. He took part in the fighting in Barcelona, and he was with the POUM.

He reserves tremendous criticisms for the Communist Party, in large part because they murdered some of his friends.

Critics will point out that the CNT and the POUM undermined coordination and unity in the republic, and that the violence certain anarchists carried out against the clergy in particular helped dissuade foreign governments from wanting to help.
