      In South Caroiina
      And one of tits in Brazil!

    1. NOT seeing humor in it is far MORE troublng, Les.

      The current furor over "Sexual Misconduct" is a LUNATIC FARCE –– a monstrously unwholesome FAD –– that deserves nor ONE scintialla of serious attention.

      A revival of the horrors of Mediaeval Supersistion and the Salem Witch Trials Revisited.conjured up for purely political purposes has now become an uncontrollable brush fire that threatens to iconsume all the arable land we have left and tir it to ashes and soot.


      Each rabble-rousing louse
      Should 'neath these words be pinned:
      "He that trubleth his own house

    4. Well FT the recent rash of "sexual incedents" either real or fabricated have reached the point of a good chuckle. Of course actual sexual harassment should be delt with in the most harsh manner allowed by law. As with anything the left begins to chew on they usually take it to the extreme where it just becomes both cheap and laughable

  3. Good one!

    I have to echo Les. While this post is witty and makes me laugh, it is also a disturbing sign of the unhinged times we are living through.

    1. If it made you laugh, I'm glad. That's an encouraging sign, but why would it also disturb you?

      As doubtless you have already gathered, it would disturb ME, if no one realized how outrageously comical this entire brouhaha over "Sexual Misconduct" really is.

      It's every bit as asinine as suggesting that Masculinity, itself, should be declared "unlawful," or that Eros should be treated as nonexistent.

      Following that would doubtless be a revival of the foolish Augustinian notion that PROCREATION is the only proper context for sex, and that all other forms of sexual gratification are inherently sinful and should be strictly forbidden and severely punished if discovered. Even MASTURBATION must be defined once again as "SELF-ABUSE."

      I have seen for several decades now that we, as a people, are virtually HYPNOTIZED by the ENEMEDIA into believing whatever cockamamie, self-injuring, good-sense-annihilating notion they want us to embrace at any given moment.

      Because of the all-pervasive influence of Mass Communication brought to us courtesy of Technology –– and its inevitable MISAPPLICATION by power-crazed Moguls and Evil Geniuses –– few of us are aware that, as a people, we have been transformed into marionettes –– mere trend-followers –– mindless automata –– to be toyed with at will by Master Manipulators who don't intend to perform good works on anyone's behalf save their own.

      Why else would you think we, as a people, have been subjected a systematic "Dumbing Down Process" by the Educational Establishment working in conjunction with the Entertaiment, News, Information Disseminaton, Publishing Industries and the Legal Community?

      The more ignorant, misinformed and less sophisticated people are, the easier they are to subjugate.


      The only hope I can think we have of to fighting this effectively is to do what the LEFT has done to US for well over a hundred years?

      And what is that, you might want to ask?

      Why to MOCK, SNEER, DERIDE, JEER, LAMPOON, PARODY, SATIRIZE, TREAT with WITHERING SCORN, absolute CONTEMPT and complete adamant DENIAL everything the LEFT would like us to take seriuously.

      Since, as I truly believe, the Left long ago dedicated itself to the zealous service of SATAN, we, who like to think of ourselves as decent, even godly men, cannot afford EVER to COMPROMISE with them.

      "EXTREMISM in DEFENSE of LIBERTY (and TRUTH) is NO VICE.

      MODERATION in WAR is IMBECILITY."


      But I much prefer the application of constant, tongue-in-cheek mockery and sarcasm to the brutality of all-out war.

    1. ...and to those who think and feel, it is a tragicomedy.

      “Man is said to be a reasoning animal. I do not know why he has not been defined as an affective or feeling animal. Perhaps that which differentiates him from other animals is feeling rather than reason. More often I have seen a cat reason than laugh or weep. Perhaps it weeps or laughs inwardly — but then perhaps, also inwardly, the crab resolves equations of the second degree.”

    2. Yes, but the Scottsh Philsopher Davd Hume, an agnostic, is famous for having observed that "Reason is naught but the slave of Passion" –– or words very much to that effect.

      As plunged into womb after womb,

    4. Yes, and I would argue that many of weighty tomes that attempt to explain the "true nature of reality" have been ;argely an exercise in futility, and, therefore, not worth my time trying to explore in any depth.

      Doubtless a lazy attitude on my part. On my serious side, however, I believe I may have compensated by making a lifelong exploration of Bach, Scarlatti, Soler, Hadyn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Lisz, Wagner, Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf, and the French composers Fauré, Satie, Debussy, Ravel, Duruflé, Marcel Dupré, the Spaniarfds, Tomas Luis Vittoria, Enrique Granados, Ernesto, Lecuona, Juachin Rodriguez well as the Russians Moussorgsky, Tchaikovsky. Rachmannoff, Scriabin. Ligturgial Music and Choral literature, and much more.

      It would take more than ten very full lifetimes to explore so-called classical Music Literature in its entirety.

      Too bad we can't all live at least ten thousand years, isn't it? ;-)

    5. What is disturbing FreeThinke is the truth that there actually does exist sexual harassment in our heretofore all too forgiving culture. Perhaps more frequently than we often wish to acknowledge.

      However, the flip side to this is in understanding the potential for abuse by individuals seeking either revenge, monetary gain, or political gain.

      It is a slippery slope, but one worth navigating. Assuming those doing the navigating are rationally equipped to do so.

      Delete
    6. It sounds a though you may have had some personal experience with this that upset you greatly, Les. If so, I'm sorry, but such cases are rare, and have NO CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER when suddenly EMPLOYED by cnicl manupulative forces for political purposes.

      At any rate, I have never been much interested in PUNISHMENT. I'm far more in favor of RESTITUTION to victims where theft, property damage or physical injury is concenred.

      This "SEXUAL HARASSMENT" thing is too nebulous to deal with rationally.

      As I've said hefore here and elsewhere many times, I'd rather see a THOUSAND MURDERERS go free, than to have ONE innocent person sent to the gallows.

    8. Personal experience FreeThinke? I suppose you could say that. As a plant manager with the responsibility for ensuring personnel policies of the corporation I worked were enforced, including allegations of sexual harassment, I gained a modicum of experience with this issue.

      My experience informs me sexual harassment does indeed exist to a degree, albeit possibly to a lesser degree than some believe. There are cases of alleged sexual harassment without merit.

      Having said the foregoing I continue to maintain raising awareness of this issue is both appropriate and right.

    9. Go right ahead. It's your prerogative, but I am quite certain that when it comes to POLITICS or MONEY it's a false issue. "SEXUAL HARASSMENT" is a WEAPON contrived by Feminazis and happily emloyed by the Left to gain and wield political power ILEGITIMATELY.

      So-called "Victims" in these cases are often one of three things:

      1. Power Grabbers
      2. Money grubbers
      3. Attention Whofres

      Sometimes they may qualigy as any two –– or even all three ––, but to pretend –– DECADES AFTER some untoward incident ALLEGEDLY happened that some self-styled "VICTIM" has been "IRREPARABALY DAMAGED" just in time to mar a candidate's chances of winnng an election is as ABSURD as it is IGNOBLE

    10. That may be so FreeThinke, but, I left Roy Moore's alleged past sexual behaviors behind a couple weeks ago.

      Sexual misbehavior allegations aside, Roy Moore IMNHO possesses exudes plenty of smell related to policy positions.

      But really? Time to move on, as Trump essentially said with his remarks urging Moore to concede.

    11. There's an important PRINCIPLE involved in this issue, Les.



      What we most earnestly despise, deplore, ardently eschew, and roundly CONDEMN are the cynical, hypocritical, manipulative, exploitative, thoroughly disingenuous TACTICS that were USED AGAINST HIM.

      The difference is not subtle. Roy Moore, himself, may not matter all that much. [I, personally, would never have chosen him as a candidate], but the absolutely FOUL TREATMENT he received by the vicious, unprincipled, possibly deranged JACKALS who control the ENEMEDIA in league with the DNC is "AN ISSUE that SHOULD LIVE iN INFAMY" till the day it is finally resolved in favor of HONOR, DECENCY and FAIR PLAY.

    4. Of course Farmer's right, and the whole SEX thing IS funny, because there isn't a sllable of si[ncerity in ANY of it. Farmer's statement also supports my long-held, oft-expressed contention that the evil practices the Left so eagerly attribute to "Big Busines" came about as a DEFENSE against the Government's ever-increasing Intrusion and Encroachment on the prerogatives of Business. This began more than a hundred years ago with TR's uncinstitutional Trust Busting, then got worse and worse with the New Deal and beyond.

      Because of Government's ferocious ATTACK on Business, Business really had no choice but to become PART of the government.

      Had this not occufrred, Business would have been NATIONALIZED long ago, and we would have succumbed totally to Marxian ideas. Unfortunately, in amalgamating itself with Government Business developed a construct inimical to te best interests of us all.

      The ROOT CAUSE, however, was the advent of Progressivism, which I see as a quasi or crypto-Marxist ideology –– i.e. increased Centralized Power. increased Interference, Intervention and Supervision in private affairs, etc.

    1. Nietzsche is a hard man to like. I find him our, cynical, and embittering to the point of being downright depressing.

      From the very little I have gathered about him he was anything-but a Christian. Of course that is equally true of many who have claimed to be GREAT Christians.

      If Nietzche was right, I guess I don't want to know it.

      I tend more towards philanthropy

      Than I do misanthropy.



      Do you really think Nietzsche
      
Has anything useful to teach ya?

      

We're in the only place

      To which we could belong.

      Must it be naught but a race

      And bullies always win?

    2. Nietzsche was an anti-Christian who preached a selfish morality of survival and triumph of the fittest, a proto-Ayn Rand. He saw Christian morality as a malign system that empowered the Untermensch to shackle the übermensch, all to the detriment of society.

      That is my superficial understanding of it. I detest both him and that crabby, turgid witch Ayn Rand.

      I'm sure Farmer can step in and set us all straight.

      Although I'm not a Nietzsche fan, I like those quotes. He was a basket case and inept with women, so I don't know how he gained such insights.

      Delete
    3. So, we agree on Nietzsche. I must say, however, that I believe INSIGHT to be spiritual and therefore incorporeal. It has little to do with any of our physical attributes or mundane transactions. It's intangible, and therefore, mysterious, but certainly a very real part of whatever it might be that makes us human.

      Delete
    4. That may be true, Les, but it didn't stop her from sharing many of the same unpleasant, downright repugnant characteristics Nietzche had with him.

      I remember her very well from the days she first appeared on the scene in New York. Even as a child I got a strong impression that Ayn Rand (she pronounced it ANN by the way) was grim, humorless, charmless, deeply unpleasant, rather conceited individual.

      Later on, I learned to respect the basic thrust of her anti-collectivist economic policies, but always felt there was a vital ingredient missing in everything she produced.

      The absence of affection and warmth mars the credibiluity of even the most brilliant individuals.

      I may be foolish, but I could never bring myself to "follow" anyone I could not LIKE.

    5. Nietzsche’s father, uncle, and grandfathers were all Lutheran pastors, but Nietzsche’s father died when he was 4 years old, and his brother died a few months later. Nietzsche was raised by his mother and sister, was sent to a highly prestigious boarding school in Germany, and at the age of just 24 accepted a position to teach classical philology (the study of classical Greek and Latin texts) at the University of Basel in Switzerland. Nietzsche taught there for 10 years, but his job was interrupted by military service, during which he received a serious injury. His health in general was not good, and he had to resign from his teaching post.

      Nietzsche was worried about what a disbelief in G_d (the death of G_d) would lead to (nihilism). He hoped that if people looked at the implications, they would realize that without an "afterlife", one should concentrate on doing the most with the life one was given. He disliked the "common man" and considered him a bit of a "slacker", not willing to endure pain and suffering to achieve a better life. He particularly disliked journalists, who substituted a grand narrative from the perspective of an hourly wage earner, for that of an aristocracy.

    6. Amid Birds of Prey

      Whoever tends to descend here,
      How quickly
      The depths swallow them! —
      But you, Zarathustra,
      Still love the abyss —
      Do you, just as the spruce?

      Its roots shoot down, where
      The rock itself tremors
      Gazing into the depths —
      It tarries at abysses,
      Where everything around
      Tends to fall:
      Amid the impatience
      Of the rough boulders and torrential streams
      Patiently enduring, firm, silent,
      Solitary ...

      Solitary!
      Who would even venture
      To be a guest here,
      To be your guest? ...

      A bird of prey perhaps:
      who might well hang,
      the steadfast patient sufferer,
      Gloating delightfully in its coat,
      With mad laughter,
      A bird of prey's laughter ...

      Why so steadfast? —
      Cruelly, it scoffs:
      One must have wings, if one loves the abyss ...
      One must not remain suspended,
      Like you, hanged one! —

      Oh Zarathustra,
      Cruelest nimrod!
      Recently still a hunter of God,
      The snare of all virtue,
      The arrow of evil!
      Now —
      Hunted by yourself,
      Your own prey,
      Bored into yourself ...

      Now —
      Alone with yourself,
      Paired in your own knowledge,
      Amid a hundred reflections
      Before your false self,
      Amid a hundred dubious
      Memories,
      Weary from every hurt,
      Chilled by every frost,
      Strangled by your own rope,
      Self-knower!
      Self-hangman!

      Why did you bind yourself
      With the rope of your wisdom?
      Why did you seduce yourself
      Into the paradise of the ancient serpent?
      Why did you crawl into yourself
      In you—into you?

      An invalid now,
      One who is sick from snake venom;
      A prisoner now,
      One who drew the hardest lot:
      In your own shaft
      Laboring bent over,
      Excavating yourself,
      Digging into yourself,
      Without aid,
      Stiff,
      A corpse —
      Overpiled by a hundred burdens,
      By your overburdens,
      One in the know!
      A self-knower!
      The wise Zarathustra! ...

      You sought the heaviest burden
      Yet found yourself —
      Cannot cast off yourself from you ...

      Lurking,
      Crouching,
      One who no longer stands upright!
      You are deeply rooted in your tomb,
      Tangled spirit! ...

      And yet recently so proud,
      Upon all your stilted pride!
      Recently still the godless hermit,
      The co-settler with the devil,
      The scarlet prince of all arrogance! ...

      Now —
      Between two voids
      One who is twisted,
      A question mark,
      A weary enigma —
      An enigma for birds of prey ...

      They'll certainly "dissolve" you,
      They no doubt hunger after your "dissolution,"
      Indeed they flutter about you, their enigma,
      Around you, hanged man! ...
      Oh Zarathustra! ...
      Self-knower! ...
      Self-hangman! ...

    7. Obviously a sensitive soul with brilliant mind and poetic insight who must have been terribly misundersood as a child, misguided, and therefore, psychologically abused.

      If that were not so, why else would he have developed such a twisted, horror-stricken, cynical, vituperative Weltanschauung –– and why else was his poor life so utterly miserable?

      He was certainly correct, however, in being concerned about the emergence of Nihilism born of Cynicism as a consequence of discouraging –– or even daring to question the existence of –– Almighty God.

      The way we treat GOD is a lot like the was we treat Constitution. Everyone TALKS about it, but few KNOW it.

      One of many possible metaphysical synonyms for GOD –– aside from Life, Truth, Love, Principle, Mind, Soul and Spirit –– would be CONSCIENCE.


      Please don't imagine for an instant that genuine Christian faith has anything to do with mere "Pollyannaism." It does not, although that beloved portrait of a sweet child whose presence has a tonic effect on everyone she meets carries within it the SEEDS of a more mature Christian faith.

      In order to ACHIEVE faith, one must ACT AS IF one already HAD it.

      THERE'S a charming oxymoron for ya! };^)>

      I know too that one must continuously STRUGGLE within oneself to KEEP one's faith, MAINTAIN it, and help it GROW. That, of course, is the point of Bible-study, prayer, meditation, and church attendance, etc.

      It is inky whenS ELF-RIGHTEIUSNESS comes out amidst these endeavors that "Christians" betray their faith, give it a bad name, and go hopelesslhy awry.

    1. I have to admit that DOES have a somewhat humorous aspect.

      I doubt, however, that Friedrich meant it to be funny. Poor chap, had such an utterly miserable life! Hardly a convincing example of the salubrious nature of his personal philosophy.

      By their fruits shall ye know them," and all that.

      But I have to confess to being a lightweight in these matters. I've never been able to permit myself to be attracted to anything that appears harsh, cynical, unforgiiving, sordid, discouraging, depressing or enervating, It's why I harbor such deep and abiding contempt for the Left.

      But then I feel very strongly something dark, inherently morbid and self-destructive emerged in Europe –– particularly among German philosophers –– in the mid-to-late nineteenth-century. That this appeared simultaneously with the magnificent, energizing, divinely-inspired, warmly humane, empathetic, insightful, intensely brilliant music of Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler is a mystery, because this great MUSIC seems so terribly at odds with the trending THOUGHTS of the time –– though Mahler, particularly, expresses a heightened degree of pathos and gathering gloom.to a greater degree than the others, but it's incredible BEAUTY transcends any feeling of discouragement.It only inspires empathy for the human condition.

      I do see the darkness, heaviness and morbidity, however, in the architecture, furniture, decor, and womens fashions of the period, however.

      It seems the brillaince and beautify of The Enlightenment was short-lived.

      I believe the expanding horizons of Optimism and a sense of Unlimited Freedom was cut short and tragically diminished by the emerging dominance of the MACHINE AGE –– i.e. the Industrial Revolution.

      We exchanged the tyranny of an outmoded theocracy and aristocracy for the despotism of Industrialization –– dark satanic mills and all that

      I suppose mankind cannot exist without some sort of gargantuan HORROR to combat.

      Jesus showed us the way out of all that, but two-thousand years after His Death and Resurrection we are still as determined as ever to crucify Him over and over and over again.

      The twentieth century was THE most violent by far in all recorded history by far. Progress in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine hasn't really help all that much, has it?

      Prayer, Music, Art, Literature, Poetry, Architecture both public and domestic, museums, home decor, antique furniture and all that goes with those things have been been my salvation.

  18. There is plenty of sincerity there, unfortunately it's all been hijacked for ideological purposes.

    Real abuse does occur and always has. A well-ordered society acknowledges that and develops mores and standards that encourage good behavior.

    The Ten Commandments and all the other Biblical admonishments are an acknowledgement that we are fallen people. If we didn't lust after our neighbor's wife there would be no reason for a commandment against it.

    It's funny in a way... God-hating libertines enjoy poo pooing religious injunctions and Judeo-Christian morality, but if you read the early writings, these were earthy people very well acquainted with real life and human nature in all its glory and sinfulness.

    So, I find it funny now to see leftwing libertines who have been preaching id-driven carnality suddenly wake up and attempt to impose their ramshackle sense of morality.

    I've been telling the agnostics and atheists for years... Fine and good if you want to remove God from the public square, but what will you replace Him with?

    As wise people of the past have observed, before tearing down a wall, you should understand why it was built in the first place.

      Christianity as preached by the accepted dogma of organized religion is nauseating for many, including me. True spirituality is something all together different. Perhaps one day this will be understood.

      Open the heart to unconditional love and acceptance without judging is healthy for mind and body. And that doesn't mean be blind or stupid.

    5. Les, I am not picking a fight, but I tire of hearing
      people criticize Christianity while billowing puffy clouds of "unconditional love and acceptance without judging."

      Every person and every society judges the actions of others against their standards; every person and every society has standards.

      The Christian admonishment "judge not," doesn't mean to not judge the actions of other; it means to judge them fairly. All over the Gospels, Jesus tells his followers to examine actions of other and judge trees by their fruits, etc.

      Indeed, to keep ourselves out of trouble, we must constantly judge. I doubt you, Les, would go out with a pack of philanderers to strip clubs and other dens of iniquity looking for wild women. I know you would judge such actions to be wrong.

      Should such behavior be "accepted without judging?"

      Unconditional love is a separate and distinct issue. You can dearly love your child while hating and refusing to accept her drug use and irresponsible behavior that is detrimental to her children and her marriage.

      A society that passes not judgments and accepts everything unconditionally is a society soon to collapse.

    7. I don't know that anything you said conflicts with a Catholic understanding of God.

      I also share your belief that forcing others to "believe" at the point of a sword is not only wrong, it is ineffective and I believe runs counter to God's wishes. Jesus did not come wielding a sword and mowing down unbelievers.

      What I do take issue with is the gauzy, all-to-easy unconditional acceptance and empty refusals to judge. As soon as some action smashes the toe of one of those blithe non-judgmental types they howl in condemnation, which must logically be preceded by a judgment.

    8. Sorry Silverfiddle that you choose to misunderstand my views. I will not belabor myself attempting to explain them for it obviously would be a fools errand to do so.

      Suffice it to say I have no problem with Christ or his ministry, I simply do not accept the organized religion and its views in lockstep. And, I indeed have a problem with pompous .......'s trying to force their belief system down the throats of those with different belief systems.

    10. Les, I did not criticize your spirituality. I pointed out the vacuity of "unconditional love and acceptance without judging" as preached by pop culture. If you would climb down for a minute and reread my comment, you would see I consider you a moral man, and part of your morality is judging right from wrong, rejecting the wrong path and walking the right one.

      Delete
    11. Since you chose to reply I shall follow suit.

      My comment, (as indicated in your opening response to me obviously upset or offended you) was not directed as a critical statement at the spirituality that without question can be found in Christianity. It was directed at organized religion, it's vertical power structure, it's all too evident hypocrisy, and at its worst history of bloodshed.

      My final sentence Silverfiddle was And that doesn't mean be blind or stupid. May I suggest you revisit the entire exchanges between FreeThinke, myself, and you. It might require you climb down for a moment.

      BTW, I appreciate you acknowledging my character as being a moral one. Few on the right do these days. Perhaps that is because doing the Right Thing is for me far more important than Just Being On The Right.

    12. No offense taken, Les.

      I don't like empty pieties, regardless whether they emanate from religious or non-religious sources.

      I am not accusing you of this, but many on the dictatorial left who feign an "its all cool" attitude come down like a ton of bricks in a very judgmental way on those who voice dissent from their orthodoxy.

    Awareness of the pain that follows sin.
    Zygotes inadvertently conceived
    Yield far-reaching complications dire.

  25. All of these bs allegations -- and many of them are indeed false or a stretching and embellishment of something that happened so as to be a part of the victimology "movement" -- are demeaning those who have actually been sexually harassed (forced, often to keep a job) or brutally raped.

    The #MeToo Movement is farcical. Women who have actually had to deal with sexual harassment and rape don't act this way. Period. Full stop.

    As I've mentioned before, my best friend was beaten and raped by a diplomat's son. Ruined her life -- both physically and mentally. By "physically" I mean permanent damage to her vagina. My dear best friend recently pooh-poohed these allegations. As one trained to discern the truth in first reports of sexual abuse to the police, she has rejected almost all of the present allegations as attention whoring.

  26. The recent drumbeat of sexual harassment and sexual assault brought to my mind an actual incident that I had over 40 years ago when my dance teacher's husband suddenly grew octopus arms when he escorted me to the car one evening after my dance lesson.

    I made my feelings toward him known on the spot by carving him up verbally. He couldn't wait to get away from me, the screaming harridan. LOL.

    Guess what? I got out of the situation, quit taking dance lessons, and moved on with my life. In fact, until a few weeks ago, I had forgotten all about what happened. And I certainly didn't go whining to my dance teacher -- or to my parents, my cousin, my husband, etc.

    "Let someone else be the one who breaks up the marriage," I told myself.

    And lo! Two years later she filed for divorce when she caught her husband doing the same thing to another of her students.

  35. As 2017 winds down - let’s examine President Trumps first year as President of the United States...
    President Trump’s first year as President of the United States has been nothing short of astounding. Lets look at the facts and at what he has accomplished in only 12 months:

    He has Hollywood progressives respecting the U.S. Constitution once again

    He has progressive states concerned about state’s rights once again

    He has other nations investing in the U.S.

    He reduced the national debt by $70 billion

    He has secured the U.S. border

    He has restored constitutional government

    He drastically improved national security

    He has businesses moving back to the U.S.

    He decreased unemployment to a 17-year low of 4.1%

    He has cracked down on crime
    He has exceeded everyone's expectations, and proved that he would do what he promised to do
    All this while fighting a constant hostile Media and Obama led opposition from within both parties. He has accomplished more positive things for America in one year than Obama did in eight.
    In fact Donald Trump might go down in history as the greatest president of all time!

    Guilt By Accusation Is The New Norm

    Frontpage Magazine, by Daniel Greenfield

    Time has named #MeToo its ‘Person of the Year’ and every other day the hashtag lynch mob drags someone else in front of the spotlight. The accusations range from rape to harsh words. The evidence is hearsay. The target is shamed, fired from every job he ever held and purged from polite society. Some are guilty. Some might be innocent. But we’ll never know because there’s no investigation. The time frame between accusation and purge is hours or days when it takes your average HR department a week to file a form.
