‘White Witch of Rye’ Barbara Maura Lane, 42, avoids jail for controlling what ‘wizard’, 82, ate, drank & wore in terrifying stalking campaign

Our thanks to Nigel for this (Sun, no paywall). He writes:

“It is remarkable the way we indulge women. At first glance this seemed a silly story https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/31/barrister-white-witch-of-rye-harassed-elderly-wizard-court/ And of course there is the usual suspended sentence. However once one realises the man was 80 and read the story about what she did, well it’s clear had the sexes been reversed a man would be imprisoned. It really is remarkable sometimes the difference in how the same behaviours are treated. And the underlying assumption that a male victim will be quick to recover.”

Washington DC air collision: Black Hawk helicopter pilot was a woman. Andrew Brigida, 35: ‘DEI cost me job at FAA, a crash was inevitable’

Our thanks to Jeff for this (Telegraph, £).

So, another example of a woman in charge of a military vehicle – the Black Hawk helicopter – responsible for its loss along with, in this case, the loss of a commercial airplane and 60+ lives. Other recent examples that come to mind are (a) the all-female crew in charge of an American submarine hunter – a top-secret airplane – over-runningn exceptionally long military runway, putting it into the sea, and (b) the New Zealand Navy ship.

The article reports that the helicopter did “the opposite of what it was told” – even The Donald reluctant to say she did the opposite of what she was told to do. The helicopter was well of course. Researchers have long known that women’s spatial awareness is inferior to men’s – even feminists have conceded the point – is this the common link behind the loss of the planes, helicopter and ship?

Did DEI initiatives at Air Traffic Control contribute to the Washington DC collision between an airplane and a military helicopter?

A piece on the BBC, Combative Trump blames diversity policies after air tragedy. An extract:

“We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas,” he [Donald Trump] said.

He then speculated that lowered standards of hiring for air traffic controllers in the Federal Aviation Administration during the Joe Biden and Barack Obama presidencies may have been a factor in the disaster…

Asked by a reporter how he could blame diversity programmes for the crash when the investigation had only just begun, the president responded: “Because I have common sense.”

At other moments, he acknowledged there was no confirmed cause, saying “it’s all under investigation”.

Trump said the hiring guidance for the FAA’s diversity and inclusion programme included preference for those with disabilities involving “hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism”. [J4MB emphasis.]

[End of extract.]

What a great time to be seeking employment if you’re a deaf, blind, paralysed, armless, legless, epileptic black dwarf with intellectual disability and psychiatric disability. (I’m just surprised being mute didn’t make it onto the list.)

We look forward to the official report, but I’m strongly inclined to agree with Trump’s theory. All the mainstream media stories have reported on the longstanding problem of understaffing in Air Traffic Control (ATC). DEI initiatives at the Federal Aviation Authority go back at least 12 years.

Now, what might cause understaffing, obviously a major risk issue? Well, the DEI initiatives would have discriminated against whites (the majority of the American population) and men (half the population). White men would have been particularly discriminated against. Women (especially non-white women) would have been favoured but few women are prepared to work the unsocial hours that are an integral part of most ATC roles. It seems fairly obvious to me that discrimination against white people (and white men in particular) would have resulted in understaffing, the likely cause of the collision.

In ATC, as in other areas, DEI kills people. Maybe this awful accident will wake up more people to that obvious fact, and help them understand why DEI programmes have to be scrapped.
