- I'm sorry I haven't time for a proper post today, but
I feel compelled to draw your attention to The New Yorker's excerpts from
the 1996 novel The Apprentice. Paedophilia, incest, bestiality: welcome
to the inner life of Scooter Libby.
-
- At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear
trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not
fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused
the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.
-
- And
-
- He asked if they should fuck the deer.
-
- (The answer, it would seem, is yes.)
-
- Is it just another dirty book? There's no harm - or not
much - in that. Hell, I wrote a book myself that could be charitably described
as one, though bears coupling with children didn't occur to me. How about
just another disgraced Republican's dirty book? There are plenty of those
as well. But this is the long-time Chief Advisor of a man long-linked to
covert-sanctioned ritual abuse and trauma-based mind control, prominent
features of which are paedophilia and bestiality, writing a fictional account
of child sexual slavery and rape by a domesticated bear that could have
been lifted straight out of survivor literature.
-
- The New Yorker plays it for laughs - there go those wacky
Republicans, writing about weird sex again - but even if this is fiction,
it's not just fiction for America's "Family Values" Fascists,
is it? There's Bill Bennett's alleged dominatrix, John Bolton's crimes
of passion, George HW Bush's much whispered "problem," and far
too many examples of "conservative" politicians found with their
pants down around young children for them to be "momentary lapses
of moral judgement." This can't be answered with "mistakes were
made." This is systemic pathology.
-
- It isn't a bad thing to write about sex, even poorly.
Or even to write about bad sex. But neither is it wrong to observe patterns
of pervision linked to patterns of force, and to ask just what is it that's
going on here.
