Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

This is completely off-topic, but I just have to comment about something in the news. A new accuser has surfaced against Brett Kavenaugh. Her name is Julie Swetnick. 

She said she was raped at a house party in "approximately"1982, and that Kavanaugh was there. As I read it, she does not claim that Kavanaugh was among the boys who raped her; but he was there. And she added that on at least one occasion she saw him waiting in line for his turn with another girl who was being raped. 

And, she thinks she was drugged with Quaaludes, or a similar drug, when it happened to her. 

This information came from her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and the following statement is a quote from an article about it on Huffington Post:

"She said she attended “well over ten house parties” from 1981 to 1983. Between 1981 and 1982, she said at these parties she began to notice Judge, Kavanaugh and others would attempt to “‘spike’ the ‘punch’ at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say ‘No.’” 

But remember, previously, she said that she was gang-raped in "approximately" 1982.  And I will say that I would expect her to know the exact year she underwent rape. 

"In a sworn declaration, Swetnick — a Washington, D.C., resident — said she was a “victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present” at a party in D.C. in approximately 1982."

But, all we can do is go by what she said. And, if she said she was gang-raped at a house party in 1982, and yet she continued attending those house parties until 1983, it means that she continued attending the very same parties where the very same thing was going on, after she was raped. So, she went back to the parties after she was raped. She kept going back to the parties, knowing full well what went on there. 

You better read this again because it makes it very clear that she continued going back to parties in which she knew that raping commonly occurred. 

 "She said she attended “well over ten house parties” from 1981 to 1983. Between 1981 and 1982, she said at these parties she began to notice Judge, Kavanaugh and others would attempt to “‘spike’ the ‘punch’ at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say ‘No.’” 

So, she knowingly went to rape parties. Note that she said that as early as 1981, she noticed the Kavanaugh and others were spiking the punch to incapacitate the girls. That was before she got raped, but wasn't it enough reason for her to stop going to the parties?  Why did she keep going to parties at which girls were being drugged and raped? 

Is there any other way to read this?
