The hangman’s noose was around 60-year-old Salem Massachusetts resident Bridget Bishop’s neck, and she prepared to die. Convicted of being a “witch,” she was sentenced to hang by the neck until she was dead. There was no tangible evidence against Bridget. The conviction was obtained based on “spectral evidence.” Several young girls testified that Bridget had pricked them with pins. In the courthouse, when Bridget looked at the young girls, they immediately threw themselves on the floor in apparent painful convulsions. Their bodies twisted in unnatural ways. The witch-hunting judge reminded the frightened townfolk jury that the devil needed to be dealt with and for the jury to stick to their strict Puritan principles.

The ladder holding Bridget off the ground was pulled away. She fell and slowly strangled, kicking hard.
Before the witch trials were finally ended, 12 more innocent individuals were convicted and hanged. The spectral evidence accusers, corrupt judges, and complicit juries were never held accountable.
The elements needed for a witch hunt to occur are alive and well in 2023 America. A cult-like philosophy and a corrupt judgment process with the power to convict and enforce punishment are essential. A biased media establishment is also required (to misinform the public). With these elements intact, all that is left to initiate the witch hunt is an unaccountable accuser.
1. The best modern-day example of a witch hunt is what happened to United States Supreme Court judge Brett Kavanaugh.
During his confirmation, after her social media accounts were scrubbed, Christine Blasey Ford came forth and accused the judge of sexual harassment. Her bizarre, unsubstantiated story had its genesis in repressed high school memories. Then two more female accusers surfaced. Their vile accusations also lacked any substantiation. The lack of any corroboration of the women’s stories didn’t matter to the cult-like progressive United States senators. They had the power to put a figurative noose around Kavanaugh’s neck and had every intention to pull it tight.
The corrupt, biased media gleefully did their best to make the lynching happen. The confirmation hearing crescendoed when Alaska’s Sen. Murkowski besmirched herself and gave the lynching of the innocent nominee her blessing. If it had not been for the surprising courage of Maine senator Susan Collins, the ladder would have been pushed out from underneath Brett Kavanaugh, and he would have been left to dangle in the wind.
Under scrutiny, all three Kavanaugh accusers’ stories fell apart. Their accusations were not at all different from the Salem witch accusers’ spectral arguments. And just like the young female Salem witch accusers, there were no consequences.
2. American Universities have every element required to go witch-hunting.
Whenever a young man is accused of sexual harassment, these universities convene kangaroo courts. Just like in 1692 Salem, these young men are not given due process or allowed to face their accusers. Woke administrators are judges and jury and do not hesitate to bring harsh judgment on the defenseless accused. Many real courts of law have overturned these abominations, but even with monetary settlements, the young men can never get back what these woke institutions have taken from them.
3. Anyone who works in corporate America knows that the elements of witch-hunting are available and embraced by woke administrators.
Any accuser can anonymously make claims against an employee. Human resources officers afraid to fight the politically correct environment will not hesitate to act. CEOs looking for ways to demonstrate their politically correct credentials will oversee the witch hunt inquisition. Many helpless employees have felt the noose tighten around their necks.
