That Old Skool Cartoon goodness??
First of all... Cartoons today SUCK something terrible. Yes, I know that most of tha classics were propaganda...
... but at least it was propaganda that made some kinda sense. Today's animated dribble is downright insulting to my intelligence.
Secondly... why the F&^K does the Cartoon Network have to broadcast six hours of freaking Ed, Ed, and Eddie everyday of the week? Who watches that S*^t?
Thirdly... check out my man DK Sanctuary's blogspot here.
Finally... come back and check out the Togakure Report this Sunday. Until then, watch my girl Chun Li do her thing... since she's probably the only gurl that could seriously give the Kidd a run for his money!!
(Would I file a Restraining Order against Magnificent Chun?? Not if I know what's good for me!!!)

Prevent Tyranny: Be a Good Juror! II
Gang,
I've written about the power of the Jury previously.
This is such an important subject, I wanted to share these two videos, featuring Mr. Red Backman, with you.
Excellent information that every freedom loving citizen needs to know, understand, and put into practice.
In addition, if you haven't done so already, please be sure to read your State and Federal constitutions thoroughly. You may be surprised at what you find.
Peace.

The Debreifing.
Ladies and Gents,
Togakure has returned from the field to bring you news, views, and commentary.
Let's get to it.
There was an interesting piece in the Boston Globe entitled: Missing Men.
The female author notes:
In my last few posts, I argued that we have witnessed Peak Political Feminism, and from here on out, the power of the politically connected, well-organized, and influential Feminist movement would slowly diminish. These changes in the political winds will be driven by economic and social events; the full magnitude of which we have yet to fully comprehend.
It is my assertion that the Paradigm has shifted. The Golden Age of feminist politics is coming to a close. The recognition by academia and government that Men are in need of assistance, and that social stability can only be guaranteed when its Men are productive and happy citizens, speaks volumes.
The author continues:
Be sure to check out the rest of the article.
Now then, in response to the question posed by the Author, why should men be rewarded with assistance, I would break the rules of polite discourse and ask the question...
Why do feminist groups, politicians, judges, media executives, business leaders, churchmen,and academics, in their collective ignorance, create the conditions that set men up for failure in the first place?
Poor men did not hold that women alone have rights to their children, nor did they rule in a Supreme Court decision that their ancient rights were to be terminated in order to provide women with the unilateral power to decide if an unborn child lives or dies.
Poor men did not write, propose, or pass punitive laws that directly and indirectly encouraged family destruction.
Poor men did not write, propose, or pass unilateral No-Fault divorce laws that enable selfish women to dissolve the family unit at will, and for any reason.
Poor men did not pass, propose, or write punitive laws that set up the nation's child support system, criminalized marijuana and other substances, criminalized prostitution, and imposed an unconstitutional web of so called domestic violence laws nationwide.
Poor men did not write, propose, or pass disastrous economic legislation such as the Federal Reserve Act, the Sixteenth Amendment, the abolishment of the Gold Standard, nor did they approve the ruinous NAFTA bill, which saw a mass exodus of manufacturing jobs from the United States to low wage countries across the globe.
Poor men do not write, produce, or finance television commercials, sitcoms, or other forms of popular entertainment that portray them as morons, numskulls, or violent lecherous predators.
(As an aside, it should be noted that child abuse, intimate partner violence, and sexual molestation occur most often outside of the traditional married family, not from within it [a][b][c]. Feminism, by leading the charge to destroy marriage [d][e], has fueled a rise in "sex offenders" and violent "male batterers," which has caused the general population to live in fear of these dreaded menaces to society. In short, it is amazing to see men being blamed for the social phenomenon that the feminists themselves created. Ignorance is indeed a powerful thing.)
Poor men do not lead religious organizations who have largely sat idly by [f][g][h] as the ancient rights of Man to his hearth, his home, his family and his honor have been utterly destroyed by the cult of Political Feminism, acting in tandem with its partners in government, industry, and academia.
Frankly, Men in America, and the Western World, for that matter, are living in a sweltering hothouse of tyranny. Similar to the frog who has immersed in water that slowly increases in temperature until he is scalded alive, the rights of Men have been stripped away, one by one, until he realizes that he is under the velvet covered iron fist of Matriarchal domination.
And the writer dares ask the question why should men be rewarded with assistance?
She should be fortunate that Men have been as patient and passive as they have been. In most other times and places, treatment of this nature would have been met with violent revolution and overthrow. Just ask the French monarchy and King George III.
Men do not NEED assistance. We do not NEED more government intervention. We've had quite enough of that already, and guess what...
IT DOESN'T WORK.
What we NEED is government and society to get the HELL out of our way and let men do what they do. Without the "Tariffs" of feminism and misandry, men will thrive quicker than a hot knife through butter.
Our present day system of Nanny Statism, white lies and propaganda is a failed model that is faced with complete collapse. It is unsustainable. It is NOT WORTH SAVING. Extending the control of government over poor men will not solve the problems we face.
The solutions are simple:
Recognize that men are human beings with Natural Rights that cannot be lawfully legislated away. Men have honor, and as such, should be treated with dignity and respect until a man has forfeited that right by acting in an unrighteous manner.
Recognize that government is legitimate only when it protects the life, liberty, and property, of all citizens, without prejudice. The government has a duty to protect the innocent, and punish the guilty. It also has the mandate to insure that the duties that are inseparable from the rights citizens possess are upheld and enforced, without prejudice.
Recognize that the courts are to provide an impartial forum for the adjudication of disputes, and if there is any doubt about how to decide a case, then the court must:
A) Err on the side of Liberty
B) Constrain the power of government, corporation, and citizen when it overreaches
C) insure that the rights and responsibilities of individual citizens and corporations are upheld and enforced, at all times, without prejudice.
Recognize that government exists to maintain a free and fair market system. Those who commit fraud, counterfeit the coin of the realm, and violate other laws are to be punished. The Natural economic rights of the people are to be upheld at all times, and this includes the right of people to keep the bulk of what they earn. The currency is to be selected by market participants, without the force of legal tender laws. Courts are to stand ready to enforce the rights and responsibilities of buyers and sellers. The government must be forbidden to pursue policies that lead to inflation, defined as a debasement of the currency.
Recognize that 20% of any given population accounts for 80% of the problems a society may face. Instead of encouraging divorce, arresting people for having a bag of weed, hiring a prostitute, or debasing the currency for the express purpose of enriching a few well connected bankers, we need to focus our efforts on eliminating or containing the few bad apples that spoil the bunch. Be it financial crime, parents who abandon their children, intimate partner violence, or hardcore drug abuse, we need to understand that 80% of the people know what they are supposed to be doing. They understand that the married family is the best structure for society. They know how to hold their liquor, their tobacco, or their other vices. They actively seek a relationship with the Creator and do their best to live a moral lifestyle.
We as a country waste so much time and energy when we react emotionally to the (mostly manufactured) problems created by the 20%, and then jump to conclusions and fuck shit up for the 80% who are doing what they are supposed to do.
Once it is understood that freedom, tempered with responsibility, works better than any one-size-fits-all government mandated approach, then we can begin to eliminate the issues that plague our society. With this understanding, we can solve the problem of poor men, poor women, and poor children more effectively and completely; and achieve results greater than anything we have though was possible.
The Decline of the American Empire.
The forthcoming changes to American society will be driven in part by the declining wealth and prestige of the American Empire.
Economist Nouriel Roubini, who has been dead on in his predictions of American economic turmoil, wrote a piece entitled The Decline of the American Empire, which only confirms my view that big changes are in the pipeline.
Mr. Roubini writes:
Please read the rest when you have time.
As I discussed previously, ROW (rest of world) nations are on the rise, whereas the United States, and its feminist foreign policy, are destined to decline.
Such is life, and not even aging feminists can repeal this Universal Law.
Tis true that Political Feminism has achieved remarkable successes over the past half century. However, that winning streak is coming to a close.
How long will it be before feminism is rejected by the mainstream? Hard to say, the future is. However, I do know one thing.
CHANGE IS COMING. IT WILL NOT BE VOLUNTARY, BUT IT WILL COME BY FORCE. THE MATRIARCHY WILL DIE HARD, BUT DIE IT WILL.
As Ancient Spartan history tells us, the world will rid itself of feminism... in time. The sooner, the better in my view.
From Russia With Love.
Speaking of Mother Russia, here is some vital intellegence that I wanted to pass on, courtesy of Mr. Mike Whitney and MarketOracle.UK entitled, Russia Georgia War: Putin Walks Into Quagmire Trap
Mr. Whitney writes:
Best believe it ladies and gents... the American media is not to be trusted. Toku gets his information from a multitude of sources, but he doesn't trust CNN (Communist News Network) or Faux News (a propaganda arm of the White House and other unsavory types) any farther than he can throw a truck.
Check out this Youtube to see what I mean.
The writer continues:
And interestingly, another key player emerges from the Chaos:
You might be asking yourself, Haven't we heard of that name before??
Indeed you have. I've written about him previously. Founder of the Trilateral Commission, former CFR boardmember, and all around powerbroker... if this man is involved, shit is going to get really ugly; and there's no telling how deep the rabbithole goes.
Please be sure to check out the rest of the piece, and check out MarketOracle.UK frequently. They tend to have excellent political articles that cut through the American media web of bullshit.
Oh, by the way... when I say that ROW doesn't give a flying fudge about feminist jurisprudence, I mean it. See how Russia responds to Sexual Harassment suits.
Yep... the future for global feminism looks bright!!
When Nature Wants a Man.
Gentlemen, I realize that times are tough right now. But I also want you to know that it won't be like this forever, and when the trials and tribulations are over, we as Men will be better off for it.
Allow me to present a poem by Angela Morgan entitled, When Nature Wants a Man.
Please read it a few times, and take it to heart. True Manliness will not be denied!
Until next time, keep your heads up, listen to this segment, by Financial Sense, to understand why you should never believe our media when it comes to precious metals investing, and...
See you next week!
Toku out.
Togakure has returned from the field to bring you news, views, and commentary.
Let's get to it.
There was an interesting piece in the Boston Globe entitled: Missing Men.
The female author notes:
This new thinking is gaining traction throughout the country. Several bills in Congress, including one cosponsored by Senator Barack Obama, would provide a wage subsidy for men, among other measures. Some states, including Massachusetts, are reexamining their child support policies, seeking compromises with fathers who are unable to pay their debt. The University of Wisconsin's Institute for Research on Poverty has a program called Families Forward that experiments with ways to reduce child support debt. A number of cities, including Newark and New York, have begun aggressive efforts to reintegrate ex-offenders into society. And New York State has instituted a wage subsidy for fathers who keep up with their child support orders. (The laws are not technically gender-specific, but "ex-offenders" and "noncustodial parents" are overwhelmingly male...)
In my last few posts, I argued that we have witnessed Peak Political Feminism, and from here on out, the power of the politically connected, well-organized, and influential Feminist movement would slowly diminish. These changes in the political winds will be driven by economic and social events; the full magnitude of which we have yet to fully comprehend.
It is my assertion that the Paradigm has shifted. The Golden Age of feminist politics is coming to a close. The recognition by academia and government that Men are in need of assistance, and that social stability can only be guaranteed when its Men are productive and happy citizens, speaks volumes.
The author continues:
... In certain quarters, these ideas have generated controversy. Conservative critics oppose the expenditures, while others, especially feminists, fear that limited antipoverty funding could be diverted from poor women, who are by and large still struggling to raise the kids. From this perspective, the question is, why should men who have shirked their obligations be rewarded with assistance?
"If men were taking responsibility for their children, they would be receiving benefits," says Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women...

Economist Nouriel Roubini, who has been dead on in his predictions of American economic turmoil, wrote a piece entitled The Decline of the American Empire, which only confirms my view that big changes are in the pipeline.
Mr. Roubini writes:
Recent economic, financial and geopolitical events suggest that the decline of the American Empire has started. After the collapse of the Soviet Union there was a brief period where the world switched from a bipolar balance of two superpowers to a unipolar world with one economic, financial, geostrategic superpower, or better, hyperpower, i.e the United States. But by now three factors suggest that the US has squandered its unipolar moment and that the decline of the American Empire – as the US was in effect a global empire – has started.
Let us explain how and why...
... First, the US squandered its power by relying excessively on its hard military power in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan and in its unilateralist foreign policy – including economic issues such as global warming - rather than relying more on its soft power of diplomacy and multilateralist approaches to global policy issues.
Second, regardless of mistaken US policies the rise of other economic and financial powers – the rise of China, the recent resurgence of Russia, the process of economic and political integration in the European Union, the emergence of India, and the rise of other regional powers such as Brazil, South Africa and Iran – implies that the relative economic, financial and geopolitical power of the US will be reduced over time...
... Third, and more important, the US squandered its economic and financial power by running reckless economic policies, especially its twin fiscal and current account deficits...
... By now the US is the biggest net borrower in the world – running current account deficits still in the 700 billion dollars range – and the biggest net debtor in the world with its foreign liabilities now over 2.5 trillion dollars.
The trouble with these twin deficits is multi-fold. First, superpowers and empires - like the British Empire at its peak - tend to be net lenders – i.e run current account surpluses – and be net creditors, not net debtors; The decline of the British Empire started in World War II when the British fiscal deficits in the war and the current account deficits turned that empire into a net borrower and a net debtor both in its public debt and external debt...
Please read the rest when you have time.
As I discussed previously, ROW (rest of world) nations are on the rise, whereas the United States, and its feminist foreign policy, are destined to decline.

From Russia With Love.
Speaking of Mother Russia, here is some vital intellegence that I wanted to pass on, courtesy of Mr. Mike Whitney and MarketOracle.UK entitled, Russia Georgia War: Putin Walks Into Quagmire Trap
Mr. Whitney writes:
The American-armed and trained Georgian army swarmed into South Ossetia last Thursday, killing an estimated 2,000 civilians, sending 40,000 South Ossetians fleeing over the Russian border, and destroying much of the capital, Tskhinvali. The attack was unprovoked and took place a full 24 hours before even ONE Russian soldier set foot in South Ossetia.
Nevertheless, the vast majority of Americans still believe that the Russian army invaded Georgian territory first. The BBC, AP, NPR, the New York Times and the rest of the establishment media has consistently and deliberately misled its readers into believing that the violence in South Ossetia was initiated by the Kremlin. Let's be clear, it wasn't. In truth, there is NO dispute about the facts except among the people who rely the western press for their information. Despite its steady loss of credibility, the corporate media continues to operate as the propaganda-arm of the Pentagon...
Best believe it ladies and gents... the American media is not to be trusted. Toku gets his information from a multitude of sources, but he doesn't trust CNN (Communist News Network) or Faux News (a propaganda arm of the White House and other unsavory types) any farther than he can throw a truck.
Check out this Youtube to see what I mean.
The writer continues:
... the fighting in the Caucasus has diverted attention from the massive US naval armada that is presently sailing towards the Persian Gulf for the long-anticipated confrontation with Iran.
Operation Brimstone, the joint US, UK and French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran, ended just last week. The war games were designed to simulate a naval blockade of Iran and the probable Iranian response.
According to Earl of Stirling on the Global Research web site:
"The war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force. The lead American ship in these war games, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71) and its Carrier Strike Group Two (CCSG-2) are now headed towards Iran along with the USS Ronald Reagen (CVN76) and its Carrier Strike Group Seven (CCSG-7) coming from Japan."
Stirling adds: "A strategic diversion has been created for Russia. The South Ossetia capital has been shelled and a large Georgian tank force has been heading towards the border....American Marines, a thousand of them, have recently been in Georgia training the Georgian military forces... Russia has stated that it will not sit by and allow the Georgians to attack South Ossetia...This could get bad, and remember it is just a strategic diversion....but one that could have horrific effects." ("Massive US Naval Armada Heads for Iran", Earl of Stirling, Global Research)...
And interestingly, another key player emerges from the Chaos:
... In June, former foreign policy adviser to President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, presented the basic storyline that would be used against Russia two full months before the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia. The article appeared on the Kavkazcenter web site. Brzezinski said the United States witnessed "cases of possible threats by Russia, directed at Georgia with the intention of taking control over the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline".
Brzezinski: "Russia actively tends to isolate the Central Asian region from direct access to world economy, especially to energy supplies..If Georgia government is destabilized, western access to Baku, Caspian Sea and further will be limited". http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2008/06/13/9798.shtml ...
You might be asking yourself, Haven't we heard of that name before??

Allow me to present a poem by Angela Morgan entitled, When Nature Wants a Man.
Please read it a few times, and take it to heart. True Manliness will not be denied!
WHEN NATURE WANTS A MAN
(By Angela Morgan)
When Nature wants to drill a man and thrill a man and skill a man...
When Nature wants to mold a man to play the noblest part; When She yearns with all Her heart to create so great and bold a man that all the world shall praise...
Watch Her methods; watch Her ways!
How She ruthlessly perfects whom She royally elects...
How She hammers him and hurts him, and with mighty blows converts him into frail shapes of clay that only Nature understands.
How his tortured heart is crying and he lifts beseeching hands...
How She bends but never breaks when his good she undertakes. How She uses whom she chooses...
with every purpose fuses him; by every art induces him to try his splendor out...
Nature knows what she's about!
When Nature wants to take a man and shake a man and wake a man...
When Nature wants to make a man to do the Future's will; She tries with all Her skill...
When She yearns with all Her soul to create him large and whole...
with what cunning She prepares him...
how She goads and never spares him!
How She whets him and She frets him and in poverty begets him...
How often she disappoints whom she sacredly anoints! With what wisdom She will hide him; never minding what betide him...
Though his genius sob with slighting and his pride may not forget; Bids him struggle harder yet!
Makes him lonely so that only God's high messages shall reach him...
So that She may surely teach him what the hierarchy planned; And though he may not understand...
gives him passions to command. How remorselessly She spurs him...
with terrific ardor stirs him When she poignantly prefers him.
When Nature wants to name a man and fame a man and tame a man...
When Nature wants to shame a man to do his Heavenly best; When She tries the highest test that Her reckoning may bring...
When She wants a god or king; How She reins him and restrains him so his body scarce contains him...
While She fires him and inspires him...
Keeps him yearning, every burning for that tantalizing goal. Lures and lacerates his soul...
sets a challenge for his spirit; Draws it higher when he's near it! Makes a jungle that he clear it; makes a desert that he fear it...and subdue it, if he can -- so doth Nature make a man!
Then -- to test his spirit's wrath -- throw a mountain in his path; puts a bitter choice before him and relentlessly stands o'er him...
Climb or perish, so She says...
but watch her purpose, watch her ways. Nature's plan is wondrous kind -- could we understand her mind ?
Fools are they who call her blind!
When his feet are torn and bleeding; yet his spirit mounts unheeding...
blazing newer paths and finds; When the Force that is Divine leaps to challenge every failure, and his ardor still is sweet -- and love and hope are burning in the presence of defeat!
Lo the crisis, Lo the shouts that would call the leader out...
When the people need salvation doth he rise to lead the nation; Then doth Nature show Her plan...
and the world has found a man!
Until next time, keep your heads up, listen to this segment, by Financial Sense, to understand why you should never believe our media when it comes to precious metals investing, and...
See you next week!

World War III??
Gents,
We all know that Georgian forces have attacked Russian peacekeepers, beginning on 8-8-08.
This is a serious situation that bears watching.
Mr. DKSanctuary has been kind enough to provide a link to the Europe blogspot. The information found there is absolutely chilling.
Give it a once over.
When you are done with that, watch this video featuring Alex Jones and the International Forecaster. I have listened to both of these men for quite a while, and they know their stuff.
Finally, Congressman Ron Paul expresses his fears that we are headed towards a new conflict in Iran.
Be informed. Be prepared. Be Wise. And be sure to examine all sides of any given issue. The truth is a commodity that is in short supply these days.
Feminism is the least of our problems now...
*** Update ***
MarketOracle.UK has posted an excellent article by Mr. F_William_Engdahl. Please take a few moments to read it, as it is very insightful.

Feminists in Trouble, Part III
Continued from Part II.
International Feminist Imperialism in trouble.
Speaking of massive loans to other nations, the United States depends on multi-billion dollar loans daily just to be able to pay its bills. Indeed, Mr. James Turk of Goldmoney has written a piece proving that, as we speak, foreign central banks are working together to intervene on behalf of the U.S. dollar, in order to drive up its value.
Translation: Our foreign partners are propping the dollar up to prevent it from falling into the abyss. This is why, in my opinion, the oil price has (temporarily) fallen in recent days, the gold price has (temporarily) tanked, and the U.S. dollar has staged a (short lived) Bear Market rally; as the monetary unit is the independent variable, and the commodity price is the dependent variable. In other words, prices are driven by the strength (which is determined by the quantity of money, interest rates, country fundamentals, etc) or weakness of the currency in question.
In my view, Inflation is the debasing of the currency (which leads to higher prices because it takes more money to maintain a given level of purchasing power) and Deflation is the appreciation of a currency (prices fall because it takes less money units to maintain a given level of purchasing power). The central banks of the world are attempting to boost the U.S. Dollar through open market operations that ultimately decrease the supply of dollars, therefore driving up its value… temporarily anyway.
Double Translation: This means that the “Sole remaining superpower” is in fact beholden to foreign nations for its very economic survival. No buying of U.S. Bonds + no helpful currency interventions = higher American interest rates and overall economic destruction.
And this is why I believe that misguided efforts to impose a global feminist world order, through legislative vehicles such as the hated I-VAWA, or through world bodies such as the United Nations [e][f], are doomed in the long term.
To understand why, let’s look at three very important players: China, Saudi Arabia, and India.
India
India is a nation in the rise. Economic growth has been explosive in the past few years, and millions of people have moved into the middle class. Standards of living are rising, and if the country keeps on its present course, it will become a major power in the decades to come.
Unfortunately, feminists have attempted to strangle the baby in its crib, specifically through the passage of the infamous 498a law.
The rise of feminism in India is no accident, and the goal is NOT the legal and social equality of women. International feminism is an offshoot of a movement to create a worldwide socialist paradise, and to eradicate "Patriarchy" in all its forms.
It goes without saying that, in some places in the world, women are treated horribly. However, I also need to point out that men throughout the world are also horribly oppressed by tyrannical regimes, fanatical theocracies, wars, starvation, slavery... you name it and men are experiencing it. Tragically, the suffering of some women in some areas of the world is being exploited in order to provide political cover to pass legislation that will cripple developing nations, and prevent them from reaching the heights of prosperity on par with developed Western nations.
There are some female activists who are genuinely outraged at the treatment that some women receive in far-away lands, and have nothing to with, or are ignorant of, the wider political objectives of the Organized Political Feminist groups. They do not seek the destruction of the traditional culture; they only want the suffering of others to stop. I can understand those feelings, and, as a world traveler, I have been to places where I could barely contain my shock at some of the things I've seen.
There are some activists who simply want the legal and social equality of men and women, where all have equal rights and not special rights, and where all members of society have the equality of opportunity, and are entitled to reap the rewards of their hard work, and are entitled to be treated fairly as human beings. I sympathize with that viewpoint.
The fact remains, however, that there are significant cultural differences that exist, and these are the fruits of man’s struggle to survive a harsh and unforgiving environment. Many nations have lived longer lives, and undergone significantly more turmoil, than the United States. Many of my foreign friends are naturally amused that we Americans, who have only been in existence for 200+ years, have the audacity to lecture them on how they should live. Most of all, many foreigners resent the United States for interfering in the affairs of other countries, and these interventions are political, they are economic [g][h], they are martial, and increasingly, they are cultural.
No matter how much we disagree with the cultural practices of other nations, so long as they do not affect us within the Sovereign borders of the United States, and so long as they do not directly threaten our national security, then we have to accept the fact that cultures do differ, and solutions to the internal problems of nation X can only be resolved within the cultural framework of country X. If country X embarks on disastrous social policies, such as our own fascination with feminism, then that civilization will either die, or be doomed to eternal backwardness. That is the price nations pay for violating the Universal Laws by which all things are regulated.
Any forcible external insertion of a cultural or religious practice will only lead to resentment and ill-feelings towards the meddling power... and the United States is going to learn how dangerous it is to meddle in the monetary affairs, the political life, and the family matters of foreign nations.
Getting back to India, the Indian family structure is under attack from internationally financed and homegrown feminist organizations. However, unlike the United States where the men were pushed out of their families without much of a struggle, Indian men are beginning their ideological counterattack on feminism NOW.
They aren't sitting around to see if feminism is going to make their lives better, nor are they bowing down to feminist tyranny. They are instead manfully criticizing feminism, via blogs, websites, and demonstrations in the streets.
I am confident that along with the overthrow of Political Feminism that is to come in the United States, the feminists of India will find the wind taken out of their sails as well. And more importantly for our purposes, the men of India will not forget that the feminist virus that infected them came from the West, and will more than likely fight to strengthen their traditional beliefs and practices.
I don't see feminism as having an enduring presence in on the Indian subcontinent. It will be a short, yet eventful blip on the radar screen of one of the most ancient cultures the world has ever seen.
China
Moving to China, one of the largest financiers of our billion dollar deficits, we find that the Chinese are increasingly concerned about the capital that they have so graciously invested in U.S. government bonds and mortgage backed securities, especially those held in the GSEs.
So much so that they are not above pulling strings behind the scenes to ensure that America actively protects China’s interests, above the interests of the American people. This is a scary development, and as Bloomberg reports, is absolutely taking place today.
What most fail to forget about China is that, while nominally Marxist, the country is no friend of feminism. In a previous post I shared with you the writings of Mr Bryce Christensen:
A Damning indictment of the Matriarchal West if I ever saw one. And briefly examining Confucian thoughts on the subject of marriage, we find that:
Please keep in mind that this is the briefest of overviews of the Confucian mindset.
Much, much more could be said about the philosophy, which I leave to others. My objective here is to show that there is NO BASIS, and NO LOVE for Western style feminist ideology in China, or anywhere else in Asia, save for those who have been Westernized for multiple generations. There is no tradition of Western style chivalry that has any weight, beyond that which has been absorbed from Western style drama and literature.
In another example to the vast gulf between the feminized West and the Manly East, A Chinese company is sponsoring wife training classes in order to combat the country's growing divorce rate:
It should be obvious that there would never be such a course offered in the West. The words "Home Economics" mean nothing to millions of American children these days.
The word “Wife” itself is probably meaningless for 89.897% of Westerners. So much so, that wifely skills, rights, and responsibilities have been largely forgotten.
There is no love for western style Political Feminism in China, a nation that will most likely share Great Power status with India in the decades to come. Indeed, the Chinese will continue to move to protect their cultural purity, and will resist any attempt by the United States, or the United Nations, to impose American style feminist family values. And as America becomes increasingly weaker culturally, politically, and financially, Political Feminists will learn that not all men are as quick to succumb to feminist pollution as Western men turned out to be.
In addition, I expect that an increasing number of counter-cultural movements, based in foreign countries, will begin to aggressively promote staunchly family friendly and anti-feminist cultural values to Westerners within our borders.
Saudi Arabia
Speaking of anti-feminist Jihad, we now turn to Saudi Arabia, another major character in America's passion play.
A leading oil producer, the keeper of the almighty Petrodollar, and promoter of violently anti-feminist Wahhabi [h][i][j] Islam, the Kingdom is another reason why American attempts to feminize the world will ultimately meet with failure.
Through the vehicle of its Sovereign Wealth Fund, Saudi Arabia is making massive purchases of Western assets and resources, as it tries to find productive uses for the billions of dollars it receives for its oil wealth.
I wrote previously on Saudi Arabia, sovereign wealth funds, and the impact it will have on feminism in America and throughout the world. It should be relevant to the conversation at hand, so be sure to check it out.
Saudi Arabia is a country that just doesn't give a shit about feminism.
Women in Saudi can't drive, they can't travel without the permission of their male guardian or relative, can't engage in extra-marital intercourse without tasting the bite of the lash… and you can forget about abortion.
In other words, all of the bad behavior our women are known the world over for is generally illegal, and punishments for disobedience are harsh. On the down side, Saudi Arabian family values are too extreme at times, and the Kingdom is a good example of a society blowing shit out of proportion. In any event, doesn't it sound like a feminist paradise to you??
You bet! And guess what... they are increasing their cultural and religious influence throughout the West. How does that grab ya??
The Muslim world, including Saudi Arabia, is NOT going to lie down and accept American feminist jihad. They will do everything in their considerable power to resist, and, as with China, the declining influence of the United States is not going to help Political Feminism achieve its goals of worldwide hegemony. Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world, through its Wahhabi schools and fundraising organizations, are spreading the deeply Anti-feminist gospel throughout the West.
And men, who are tired of being blamed for all of society’s problems, who are sick of the forced plundering of their children, and who are looking for a philosophy that states, without hesitation, that Men and Manliness are worthwhile, are responding to the call.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West today, while Christianity, which has capitulated entirely to the feminist onslaught, declines in male membership, and social influence, especially in Europe.
Ironically, many of the new converts to Islam are women, which just goes to show that the majority of women are attracted to strong men and the robust and vibrant energy that only fully engaged men bring to the table, be it art, science, religion, or politics. Women are drawn to this Manly energy, which Islam possesses in excess.
In the absence of a balanced philosophy that upholds and promotes Manly Thumos as something that is positive and worthwhile, and seeks to channel it into creative and positive expression, men and women alike are going to seek out a system (such as Islam) that, while harmful and destructive in the long term, temporarily fulfills deep seated human needs.
When you break it down, the truth is that feminine women (the vast majority of the female population) like masculine men, and they want to be around masculine men, and they want to be acknowledged by masculine men (please see Dr. Louann Brizendine's The Female Brain for scientific evidence that my assertion is the correct one).
This is why today's Western woman prefers thugs and bad boys, as Sergeant Willie P Testifies to in this video piece...
...and this vid by Kobra860 tells us.
This is why today's women like the bad boys, and treat the nice guys with contempt.
This is why some women seek out alternative lifestyles such as Domestic Discipline [1][2] and Taken in Hand.
It's not politically correct, nor is it socially acceptable to say what I am saying. But that doesn't make it any less true. Manliness will not be denied. It can only be repressed, and even then it will express itself in a myriad of ways, most of them destructive in the long run.
Here is the biggest secret never told: WOMEN. HATE. WEAK. MEN. They absolutely hate them, even if they tell you otherwise.
Actions speak much louder than words. And the actions of women over the past 40 years are sending a clear signal: Women hate weak men.
At the same time, the majority of women don't like men who are violent, who break bones and bruise eyes for the fun of it, or men who are likely to hurt their children. That's basic common sense.
But they do crave a man that can provide for them, that can tell them No and Shut the Hell Up when they need it, and who can take charge when it is appropriate.
Women like a man who believes in his own worth, and has the backbone to keep her in check when she gets to acting stupid, and law down the law when it is necessary. Women want a man who can be a leader, a sage, and a scribe, without morphing into a dictator that everyone has to walk on eggshells around. It's a fine art that Men of Old used to pass down to their sons. But, because of feminist family values, these special skills have been lost, to the detriment of society. This is what women complain about when they say that they can't "find any good men."
Due to present day legal and social factors, many Western men have been unwilling or unable to provide that level of intimacy and communication skills that this “keeping yo' woman in check” function requires. It's simply too dangerous to be involved with a woman to that level. Not to mention that there is zero accountability for the gamut of negative behaviors Western women engage in today.
Since Westerners are unable or unwilling to find a Golden Mean in regards to relations between the Sexes, and because modern day family life is so chaotic and lacking in structure (not to mention dangerous for men to enter into), then many Westerners go off to join destructive ideologies such as Wahhabi Islam, that is funded by the same people that we export billions of dollars a year to in exchange for oil.
Ironic, ain't it.
Conclusion.
The moral of the story is:
Feminism is a movement that relied upon the good graces, the shortcomings, and the overall ignorance of the Christian West, a land of unrivaled plenty and prosperity. The goal was never about equality, but about a platonic vision of society, where some would be more equal than others.
Now that Political, Organized Feminism has conquered the West, it has set its sights upon the rest of the globe. All cultures will be assimilated into the feminist/socialist/globalist family of immorality.
Or so they thought.
The major players in this world, capitalizing on Western “Something for Nothing”mentality, are well aware of the feminist onslaught, its methods, and its goals, and are moving to check feminist ambitions. They will not be so easily seduced. They will allow what is politically or socially expedient, but no more. And if Bastions of Feminist Orthodoxy, such as the United States and other Western nations attempts to impose a emasculation program upon them, they will simply pull the rug out from under us. Sell a few treasury bonds here, withhold bailout funds for a few struggling Western banks there, withhold a few shipments of oil… you get the idea.
Remember this: The Personal is the Political is the Economic. You best believe that sex, money, and politics go together like white on rice. Fucking with other people's wives and children will result in economic warfare like you wouldn't believe, and is never conducive to favorable business relationships.
And, in the scheme of things, it is in the best interests of the Money Men (at whose feet Political Feminists faithfully sit) to keep the wheels of commerce turning, and to maintain harmonious relations with its trading partners. The interests of their feminist slaves will be put to the back burner. After all, the feminist movement itself was only a means to an end; and not the endgame itself.
Well, Dear Reader, this series has come to its end. This is my reasoning as to why Organized Political Feminism has no future. Feminist ideology itself will never die. History tells us this is true. However, the miraculous run that feminist politics has had in this Country was possible only due to cheap and easy money and credit, cheap and easy resources, expanding economic growth, relative political stability, and a population that was able and willing to consider the idea that women should have political autonomy and superiority.
However, as circumstances change, so will the fortunes of Political Feminism. Everything I have highlighted above is getting ready to shift markedly in the next few years. From the end of cheap money and credit, to the end of easy and cheap oil, to the end of the political stability that these things bring, only a blind, deaf, and dumb man can deny that this golden cocktail the West has been consuming for decades is about to turn into arsenic.
In spite of all of the massive changes that await us, I believe that the portion of humanity (which is considerable) that has experienced the freedom that Classical Liberalism has brought to the world can never go back. Women will not and must not become slaves, chattel, or confined to the domestic sphere once more. It would be a tragic step backwards, in my opinion.
The answer is not to slap racial, ethnic, or gender “tariffs” back onto society. The answer is to allow human beings to make choices, according to their nature, that do not harm or impede the rights and responsibilities of others. And I believe that in a truly free marketplace of lifestyles and options, people will make choices that will not only enrich their own lives, but make the society stronger as a whole.
The solution is to modify and tweak our present Constitutional order to robustly protect the rights, and enforce the responsibilities, that men and women naturally have as children of God the Most High. We need an apparatus that can elevate the societal discourse away from our narrow focus on rights and responsibilities. Everyone is concerned about “My rights” and “what’s in it for me.” This is unsustainable in the long run.
We need to elevate our focus. As Confucianism teaches, the law is the lowest level of virtue. Equality of the Sexes, with equal rights and protections for all, and special rights and privileges for NONE, and the enforcement of the RESPONSIBILITIES that accompany all rights, is a basic, ground level idea that we as a society should have mastered a long time ago. And it is a basic skill that we will need to master if humankind is to work together, survive, and thrive over these upcoming years and decades. Slavery, racism, oppression, corporatism, and exploitation are inefficient when compared to a system that is truly free, truly fair, and has strong institutions to make sure all parties play by the rules.
The religion of feminism is unsustainable. Misandry is doomed to failure. Eventually, both of these popular viewpoints will shrivel and die. So the question becomes, what next? What philosophy will fill the void, after feminism, socialism, corporatism and fascism are discounted as viable political and social ideals?
I believe we need to look back to the past. We need to search all of the texts of wisdom from all eras and all cultures of the world, select those that are the most beneficial to humanity, and profitable for our souls, and make them our own.
We need to fashion laws that are in harmony with the good and noble virtues in human nature, that protect the innocent and punish the guilty, and that are in harmony with the Universal Law that governs creation. We need institutions and systems that uphold and encourage the development of correct and harmonious moral and spiritual attributes in the population at large.
As above, so below.
We need to base our economics on the proven principles that have served human kind well for thousands of years and have enabled us to achieve real growth, and kept harmful political ambitions in check. While most are concerned about the New World Order and plans to introduce a One World Currency, many fail to realize that the world functioned on a global currency for thousands of years; that currency being Gold and Silver.
Look for Gold backed currencies to make a roaring comeback.
At the end of the day, as the Immortal Dr. Ron Paul says, ideas have consequences. We need to open our eyes and understand that the old paradigm is over. We are moving headlong into a new way of doing things, and we need to start debating, as a society, where we are going from here, how can we correct the mistakes of the past, and how can we move towards creating an ideal society that can stand the test of time.
This is possible. My ancestors achieved this, and I am confident we can do the same.
But first, feminism must die. And it makes me smile to know that I will live long enough to see its demise.
Togakure.
International Feminist Imperialism in trouble.
Speaking of massive loans to other nations, the United States depends on multi-billion dollar loans daily just to be able to pay its bills. Indeed, Mr. James Turk of Goldmoney has written a piece proving that, as we speak, foreign central banks are working together to intervene on behalf of the U.S. dollar, in order to drive up its value.

I don't see feminism as having an enduring presence in on the Indian subcontinent. It will be a short, yet eventful blip on the radar screen of one of the most ancient cultures the world has ever seen.
China
Moving to China, one of the largest financiers of our billion dollar deficits, we find that the Chinese are increasingly concerned about the capital that they have so graciously invested in U.S. government bonds and mortgage backed securities, especially those held in the GSEs.
So much so that they are not above pulling strings behind the scenes to ensure that America actively protects China’s interests, above the interests of the American people. This is a scary development, and as Bloomberg reports, is absolutely taking place today.
What most fail to forget about China is that, while nominally Marxist, the country is no friend of feminism. In a previous post I shared with you the writings of Mr Bryce Christensen:
... For a time, Confucius and his philosophy did appear to have been crushed, pulverized by the communist juggernaut. But by the 1980s, informed observers began to acknowledge “a Confucian revival” within China. That revival has now continued for more than 20 years and shows no signs of abating. Writing in 1995, Columbia scholar William Theodore de Bary marveled at “the stunning reversal of [Communist] party policy,” a reversal evident in the way the Beijing regime was actually “claim[ing] for itself the right to speak for China’s Confucian heritage.”[22] Because of this reversal in official policy, public schools in China have now been teaching Confucianism for over a decade—with the Communist government’s full blessing and support.[23]
Western China-watchers report that “an enormous effort is now underway to make Communist Party officials ponder Confucian classics in party schools.”[24] And these officials do seem to be learning their lessons: the official communist press is now full of articles “quoting tirelessly from the Confucian classics.”[25] President Jiang Zemin himself quotes liberally from The Analects, The Book of Odes, and other Confucian classics in his speeches.[26] The same Communist Party which once ordered its cadres to destroy Confucian shrines has spent millions in recent years to restore those shrines, while spending additional millions to make and distribute municipal banners carrying edifying quotations from the Master Kung...[27]
...What many Western observers seem reluctant to admit is that Asians are rediscovering Confucius not because they want what they see in Western economies and political regimes, but rather because they do not want what they see in the Western society and cultures. To a very significant degree, the Asian turn toward Confucius reflects a turn away from the West and a Western culture perceived as morally corrupt and degenerate. Thus, it is not attraction for what the West has to offer, but rather fear of what the West might be spreading that is most evident in Communist China’s new embrace of Confucianism. In explaining that embrace in 1995, Xinhua expressed deep concerns about “the disappearance of social norms, the death of morals, and the disintegration of traditional values,” serious problems that Xinhua regarded as epidemic in the West and as a looming threat to China unless the Chinese accepted the “good medicine” offered by Confucianism.[59]
The tone is very much the same when Japanese scholar Katsuta Kichitaro declares that “by following the insights of Confucianism, [he and his fellow Asians] can avoid the social catastrophe befalling the West, the result of centuries of individualism and egotism.”[60] Western observer Alfred M. Boll consequently interprets the resurgence of Confucianism as an attempt “to protect [Asian] tradition against perceived detrimental Western influence.”[61] Thus, when Singapore made its turn toward Confucius in the late 1970s, government officials explained that they were doing so “as a means of countering the Western ‘cultural onslaught’ on the young.”[62]
The reaction against the Western “cultural onslaught” and toward Confucianism has often been most pronounced among Asians repulsed by what they see in American culture. Certainly, it is American culture which makes the need for Confucianism particularly clear to Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani. Writing in 1995, Mahbubani painted a very dark picture of American society:
In most Asian eyes [Mahbubani wrote] evidence of real social decay in the United States is clear and palpable. Since 1960, the U.S. population has grown by 41 percent. In the same period, there has been a 560 percent increase in violent crimes, a 419 percent increase in illegitimate births, a 400 percent increase in divorce rates, a 300 percent increase in children living in single-parent homes, a more than 200 percent increase in teenage suicide rates, and a drop of almost 80 points in Scholastic Aptitude scores...[63]
A Damning indictment of the Matriarchal West if I ever saw one. And briefly examining Confucian thoughts on the subject of marriage, we find that:
…For the purposes of discipline within the family, as well as for material support and protection, the woman was counselled to subject herself to the man. In the "Li Ki" it was ordered thus: "The woman follows the man. In her youth she follows her father and elder brother; when married, she follows her husband; when her husband is dead, she follows her son." (Bk. ix., 10.)…
... Mencius thus quotes from the Ritual the instructions which the bride's mother gives her in view of the approaching nuptials: "At the marriage of a young woman, her mother admonishes her, accompanying her to the door on her leaving and cautioning her with these words, 'You are going to your home. You must be respectful. You must be careful. Do not disobey your husband!'" (Bk. iii., pt. ii., c. ii., v. 2.)
Though the Chinese girl was brought up, then as now, with matrimony in view as her goal, and though she was trained with an eye to subjection to her husband in the regulation of the family and to obedience to her husband's mother in the home…
Please keep in mind that this is the briefest of overviews of the Confucian mindset.
Much, much more could be said about the philosophy, which I leave to others. My objective here is to show that there is NO BASIS, and NO LOVE for Western style feminist ideology in China, or anywhere else in Asia, save for those who have been Westernized for multiple generations. There is no tradition of Western style chivalry that has any weight, beyond that which has been absorbed from Western style drama and literature.

Spouse skills course to check high divorce rate
(China Daily)
Updated: 2008-07-22 09:14

A marriage counseling company in Shanghai is to launch a wifely skills training course in an effort to counterbalance soaring divorce rates.
The course organizer has invited professors from the academy of social sciences, psychologists and sociologists to give lectures on moral ethics and human relations, charm and communication skills. Male elites are also invited to talk about their criteria for an ideal wife.
The first course will be free of charge to its 50 or so participants. In view of enthusiastic community feedback, the organizer is devising other courses on being a good husband and making a marriage work.
(Youth Daily)
It should be obvious that there would never be such a course offered in the West. The words "Home Economics" mean nothing to millions of American children these days.
The word “Wife” itself is probably meaningless for 89.897% of Westerners. So much so, that wifely skills, rights, and responsibilities have been largely forgotten.
There is no love for western style Political Feminism in China, a nation that will most likely share Great Power status with India in the decades to come. Indeed, the Chinese will continue to move to protect their cultural purity, and will resist any attempt by the United States, or the United Nations, to impose American style feminist family values. And as America becomes increasingly weaker culturally, politically, and financially, Political Feminists will learn that not all men are as quick to succumb to feminist pollution as Western men turned out to be.
In addition, I expect that an increasing number of counter-cultural movements, based in foreign countries, will begin to aggressively promote staunchly family friendly and anti-feminist cultural values to Westerners within our borders.
Saudi Arabia
Speaking of anti-feminist Jihad, we now turn to Saudi Arabia, another major character in America's passion play.
A leading oil producer, the keeper of the almighty Petrodollar, and promoter of violently anti-feminist Wahhabi [h][i][j] Islam, the Kingdom is another reason why American attempts to feminize the world will ultimately meet with failure.
Through the vehicle of its Sovereign Wealth Fund, Saudi Arabia is making massive purchases of Western assets and resources, as it tries to find productive uses for the billions of dollars it receives for its oil wealth.
I wrote previously on Saudi Arabia, sovereign wealth funds, and the impact it will have on feminism in America and throughout the world. It should be relevant to the conversation at hand, so be sure to check it out.
Saudi Arabia is a country that just doesn't give a shit about feminism.
Women in Saudi can't drive, they can't travel without the permission of their male guardian or relative, can't engage in extra-marital intercourse without tasting the bite of the lash… and you can forget about abortion.
In other words, all of the bad behavior our women are known the world over for is generally illegal, and punishments for disobedience are harsh. On the down side, Saudi Arabian family values are too extreme at times, and the Kingdom is a good example of a society blowing shit out of proportion. In any event, doesn't it sound like a feminist paradise to you??
You bet! And guess what... they are increasing their cultural and religious influence throughout the West. How does that grab ya??
The Muslim world, including Saudi Arabia, is NOT going to lie down and accept American feminist jihad. They will do everything in their considerable power to resist, and, as with China, the declining influence of the United States is not going to help Political Feminism achieve its goals of worldwide hegemony. Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world, through its Wahhabi schools and fundraising organizations, are spreading the deeply Anti-feminist gospel throughout the West.
And men, who are tired of being blamed for all of society’s problems, who are sick of the forced plundering of their children, and who are looking for a philosophy that states, without hesitation, that Men and Manliness are worthwhile, are responding to the call.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West today, while Christianity, which has capitulated entirely to the feminist onslaught, declines in male membership, and social influence, especially in Europe.
Ironically, many of the new converts to Islam are women, which just goes to show that the majority of women are attracted to strong men and the robust and vibrant energy that only fully engaged men bring to the table, be it art, science, religion, or politics. Women are drawn to this Manly energy, which Islam possesses in excess.
In the absence of a balanced philosophy that upholds and promotes Manly Thumos as something that is positive and worthwhile, and seeks to channel it into creative and positive expression, men and women alike are going to seek out a system (such as Islam) that, while harmful and destructive in the long term, temporarily fulfills deep seated human needs.
When you break it down, the truth is that feminine women (the vast majority of the female population) like masculine men, and they want to be around masculine men, and they want to be acknowledged by masculine men (please see Dr. Louann Brizendine's The Female Brain for scientific evidence that my assertion is the correct one).
This is why today's Western woman prefers thugs and bad boys, as Sergeant Willie P Testifies to in this video piece...
...and this vid by Kobra860 tells us.
This is why today's women like the bad boys, and treat the nice guys with contempt.
This is why some women seek out alternative lifestyles such as Domestic Discipline [1][2] and Taken in Hand.
It's not politically correct, nor is it socially acceptable to say what I am saying. But that doesn't make it any less true. Manliness will not be denied. It can only be repressed, and even then it will express itself in a myriad of ways, most of them destructive in the long run.
Here is the biggest secret never told: WOMEN. HATE. WEAK. MEN. They absolutely hate them, even if they tell you otherwise.
Actions speak much louder than words. And the actions of women over the past 40 years are sending a clear signal: Women hate weak men.
At the same time, the majority of women don't like men who are violent, who break bones and bruise eyes for the fun of it, or men who are likely to hurt their children. That's basic common sense.
But they do crave a man that can provide for them, that can tell them No and Shut the Hell Up when they need it, and who can take charge when it is appropriate.
Women like a man who believes in his own worth, and has the backbone to keep her in check when she gets to acting stupid, and law down the law when it is necessary. Women want a man who can be a leader, a sage, and a scribe, without morphing into a dictator that everyone has to walk on eggshells around. It's a fine art that Men of Old used to pass down to their sons. But, because of feminist family values, these special skills have been lost, to the detriment of society. This is what women complain about when they say that they can't "find any good men."
Due to present day legal and social factors, many Western men have been unwilling or unable to provide that level of intimacy and communication skills that this “keeping yo' woman in check” function requires. It's simply too dangerous to be involved with a woman to that level. Not to mention that there is zero accountability for the gamut of negative behaviors Western women engage in today.
Since Westerners are unable or unwilling to find a Golden Mean in regards to relations between the Sexes, and because modern day family life is so chaotic and lacking in structure (not to mention dangerous for men to enter into), then many Westerners go off to join destructive ideologies such as Wahhabi Islam, that is funded by the same people that we export billions of dollars a year to in exchange for oil.
Ironic, ain't it.
Conclusion.
The moral of the story is:
Feminism is a movement that relied upon the good graces, the shortcomings, and the overall ignorance of the Christian West, a land of unrivaled plenty and prosperity. The goal was never about equality, but about a platonic vision of society, where some would be more equal than others.
Now that Political, Organized Feminism has conquered the West, it has set its sights upon the rest of the globe. All cultures will be assimilated into the feminist/socialist/globalist family of immorality.
Or so they thought.
The major players in this world, capitalizing on Western “Something for Nothing”mentality, are well aware of the feminist onslaught, its methods, and its goals, and are moving to check feminist ambitions. They will not be so easily seduced. They will allow what is politically or socially expedient, but no more. And if Bastions of Feminist Orthodoxy, such as the United States and other Western nations attempts to impose a emasculation program upon them, they will simply pull the rug out from under us. Sell a few treasury bonds here, withhold bailout funds for a few struggling Western banks there, withhold a few shipments of oil… you get the idea.
Remember this: The Personal is the Political is the Economic. You best believe that sex, money, and politics go together like white on rice. Fucking with other people's wives and children will result in economic warfare like you wouldn't believe, and is never conducive to favorable business relationships.
And, in the scheme of things, it is in the best interests of the Money Men (at whose feet Political Feminists faithfully sit) to keep the wheels of commerce turning, and to maintain harmonious relations with its trading partners. The interests of their feminist slaves will be put to the back burner. After all, the feminist movement itself was only a means to an end; and not the endgame itself.
Well, Dear Reader, this series has come to its end. This is my reasoning as to why Organized Political Feminism has no future. Feminist ideology itself will never die. History tells us this is true. However, the miraculous run that feminist politics has had in this Country was possible only due to cheap and easy money and credit, cheap and easy resources, expanding economic growth, relative political stability, and a population that was able and willing to consider the idea that women should have political autonomy and superiority.
However, as circumstances change, so will the fortunes of Political Feminism. Everything I have highlighted above is getting ready to shift markedly in the next few years. From the end of cheap money and credit, to the end of easy and cheap oil, to the end of the political stability that these things bring, only a blind, deaf, and dumb man can deny that this golden cocktail the West has been consuming for decades is about to turn into arsenic.
In spite of all of the massive changes that await us, I believe that the portion of humanity (which is considerable) that has experienced the freedom that Classical Liberalism has brought to the world can never go back. Women will not and must not become slaves, chattel, or confined to the domestic sphere once more. It would be a tragic step backwards, in my opinion.
The answer is not to slap racial, ethnic, or gender “tariffs” back onto society. The answer is to allow human beings to make choices, according to their nature, that do not harm or impede the rights and responsibilities of others. And I believe that in a truly free marketplace of lifestyles and options, people will make choices that will not only enrich their own lives, but make the society stronger as a whole.
The solution is to modify and tweak our present Constitutional order to robustly protect the rights, and enforce the responsibilities, that men and women naturally have as children of God the Most High. We need an apparatus that can elevate the societal discourse away from our narrow focus on rights and responsibilities. Everyone is concerned about “My rights” and “what’s in it for me.” This is unsustainable in the long run.
We need to elevate our focus. As Confucianism teaches, the law is the lowest level of virtue. Equality of the Sexes, with equal rights and protections for all, and special rights and privileges for NONE, and the enforcement of the RESPONSIBILITIES that accompany all rights, is a basic, ground level idea that we as a society should have mastered a long time ago. And it is a basic skill that we will need to master if humankind is to work together, survive, and thrive over these upcoming years and decades. Slavery, racism, oppression, corporatism, and exploitation are inefficient when compared to a system that is truly free, truly fair, and has strong institutions to make sure all parties play by the rules.
The religion of feminism is unsustainable. Misandry is doomed to failure. Eventually, both of these popular viewpoints will shrivel and die. So the question becomes, what next? What philosophy will fill the void, after feminism, socialism, corporatism and fascism are discounted as viable political and social ideals?
I believe we need to look back to the past. We need to search all of the texts of wisdom from all eras and all cultures of the world, select those that are the most beneficial to humanity, and profitable for our souls, and make them our own.
We need to fashion laws that are in harmony with the good and noble virtues in human nature, that protect the innocent and punish the guilty, and that are in harmony with the Universal Law that governs creation. We need institutions and systems that uphold and encourage the development of correct and harmonious moral and spiritual attributes in the population at large.
As above, so below.
We need to base our economics on the proven principles that have served human kind well for thousands of years and have enabled us to achieve real growth, and kept harmful political ambitions in check. While most are concerned about the New World Order and plans to introduce a One World Currency, many fail to realize that the world functioned on a global currency for thousands of years; that currency being Gold and Silver.
Look for Gold backed currencies to make a roaring comeback.
At the end of the day, as the Immortal Dr. Ron Paul says, ideas have consequences. We need to open our eyes and understand that the old paradigm is over. We are moving headlong into a new way of doing things, and we need to start debating, as a society, where we are going from here, how can we correct the mistakes of the past, and how can we move towards creating an ideal society that can stand the test of time.
This is possible. My ancestors achieved this, and I am confident we can do the same.
But first, feminism must die. And it makes me smile to know that I will live long enough to see its demise.
Togakure.

Feminists in Trouble Part II.
What's good??
After a long week at the salt mines, it's time to kick back, crack open some brew, and reflect on the week's events.
Recent developments continue to support my thesis that the era of Political Feminism, that great political ball-breaker, has no sustainable future.
Happy day!!
Without further ado, let's move to the evidence.
In the legal arena, MRAs have scored a major legal victory in New Jersey.
According to the Illustrious David Usher:
Firstly, Dear Readers, we should all applaud True Equality Network, and all of the Men's Rights Activists in the political, lobbying, and legal arenas who have worked hard, put their boots on the ground, and staked their fortunes and their sacred honor in order to beat the feminists at their own game.
Also, I would like to thank Judge Schultz for finally applying the principles of Constitutional Law to these feminist statutes of injustice. Judges like these who uphold the Constitution deserve the highest praise. I called his offices at 1-201-795-6622 extension 6623 to express my gratitude, and I believe that you should do the same. We need to show the officials who despise the corruption that feminist policies bring to our government (who are numerous, I can assure you) that they have the popular support of the people when they dare to go against the feminist grain.
This case, while a limited victory, speaks volumes about what the Men's Rights Movement can do when we work together, obtain positions of influence and power, and put our money and our best efforts into striking back against feminist tyranny.
The main arguments of MRAs, that feminism is an ideology that is dangerous and subversive to our economy, our society, and our legal system, will find increasing acceptance in the mainstream.
NOW is the time to redouble our efforts, and assault feminism from every front; be it from blogs, books, podcasts, word of mouth, Youtube, the courts, magazines, the Marriage Strike, the Child Strike, the Dating Strike...
We must leverage our wins, however small, and take advantage of the increasing weakness of feminist organizations. Instead of slacking off because some progress is being made, now is the time to increase our activism!
In the first Feminists in Trouble post, I highlighted how increasing economic weakness would negatively impact Political Feminism. Let's expand on how our current Recession, soon to be Depression, will eliminate much of the Femme's political capital.
Banks in Trouble.
As most of us know, the American economy runs on the oil of cheap and easy money and credit.
Unfortunately, the producers of this vital resource, the banks, are busted beyond repair. They are leveraged to a combined total of One Quadrillion dollars in derivatives contracts, to say nothing of their balance sheet destruction as a result of a record amount of foreclosures.
Remember, loans are assets for banks, and loans are also how banks create money. Massive housing foreclosures = asset balance sheet destruction.
Anyway, getting back to derivatives contracts ...
A Quadrillion dollars is $1,000,000,000,000,000.
World GDP was estimated to be 65 Trillion dollars in 2007.
65 Trillion dollars is $65,000,000,000,000.
Doing the math gives us a ratio of 15. The amount of derivatives contracts outstanding is 15 times more than WORLD GDP.
And when one considers how flawed GDP is as a measure of wealth, one quickly comes to the conclusion that we are SCREWED.
Conclusion: Banks and financial institutions are heavily exposed to derivatives contracts, and they are suffering massive asset destruction due to the housing crisis. They are broke. They don't give a fuck about making sure that the pet projects of Political Feminism continue to be funded. Not to say that they were major sponsors of the feminist movement, but the powers behind these institutions, the Money Men [a][b], most certainly are and were. Expect the financial houses to have far less money to funnel into various unsavory causes, such as everyone's favorite hate movement.
U.S. States in Trouble.
Checking in with Mish the Mighty's blogspot, we find that State governments are in a world of hurt:
With that being said, State governments are doing all they can to avoid a crisis of biblical proportions. And, while many legislators are (outwardly) sympathetic to "Domestic Violence" and "Child Abuse" and "Violence againt Women" and all that jazz; and while it is a fact that States drive family breakup in order to receive fiat Federal dollars, most States are not in a position to expand new programs, and existing programs that don't make the critical list to be funded may well find themselves terminated due to lack of said funding.
As I've mentioned previously, the actual importance of failed family policies that create more problems than they solve [c][d][e] are minimal compared to issues such as serious felony violence, education, property taxes, and other vital government services.
No news article or report I have seen thus far lists feminist political objectives as even remotely critical during this crisis. Indeed, amongst my peers, many government officers understand that many feminist arguments, such as...
A) Only women are the victims of domestic violence
B) Divorce is a harmless and empowering lifestyle choice for women that has little to no impact on children and society
C) The courts are not sensitive to the "needs" of today's modern woman (be it child support, restraining orders, or divorce decrees)
... are absolutely ridiculous.
Many public servants understand the damage feminist jurisprudence has wrought upon this country. They also understand that if they don't cooperate and advocate these programs, or if they speak out and criticize these policies, they will soon be out of a job.
Because State and local governments are faced with the Perfect Storm, I expect many Agencies and Departments to eventually make deep cuts to feminist pork; with many using our economic downturn as an excuse to get rid of programs they find distasteful to begin with. Even those who support feminism in theory will find that they have no choice but to pursue policies and laws that:
A) Encourage the society at large to live together in relative harmony. (VAWA, and most feminist legislation does a wonderful job of destroying families, and estranging people from each other.)
B) Cut down on the crime and social costs that feminist legislation creates.
C) Leverage the wealth creating benefits that only the married family can provide.
The bottom line: States simply do not have the resources to act as Harem keepers on behalf of the Federal government; even if they ideologically wish to do so. Those States that continue to create and enforce destructive feminist/socialist/platonic policies will find themselves quickly exhausted; with California being a prime example of a failed socialist State.
Feds in trouble
Since it is clear that the States have no ability to preserve or protect feminist family values, the only likely source of pork barrel feminist spending is the Federal government. Indeed, as I have stated previously, the Federal government is Master of the Harem. It is Federal laws, Federal grants, and Federal fiat money and credit that, outside of private organizations and foundations, are the biggest enablers of the Political Feminist movement that has the country literally by the balls at the moment.
I am here to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that Congress has much bigger problems. Even though the wasteful and utterly provocative I-VAWA is waiting for Congressional approval as we speak, the Federal government has much bigger fish to fry.
Firstly, it should be common knowledge by now that the government is insolvent.
B.R.O.K.E.
Bankrupt.
Flat Busted.
Done.
The U.S. Government has liabilities that it cannot possibly hope to pay, given our current spending trends. According to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, Fedgov's liabilities total up to $52,000,000,000,000.
On top of these obligations, which include Social Security, Medicare, and other entitlement programs, the Feds are getting ready to write a check that it can’t hope to cash (without triggering a dollar devaluation and an eventual collapse).
Fanne and Freddie in trouble
According to Bloomberg:
Let’s say that these government sponsored entities (GSEs) hold 5 Trillion dollars in U.S. mortgages. And, let’s assume that the GSEs will continue to suffer massive losses in the future (see here for an overview of unprecidented losses at the GSEs this quarter).
Assuming that losses at the GSEs will remain massive is a valid assumption, as this article at the Dr. Housing Bubble blogspot argues most effectively.
In addition, Istockanalyst.com informs us that the Congressional Budget Office has estimated the total number of loan defaults at the GSEs will be approximately 35%.
Going with these assumptions, then the Feds could potentially end up subsidizing these mortgage companies to the tune of ($5,000,000,000,000*.35) 1.75 Trillion dollars.
And what if the government decides to bail out the Big Three automakers? I don’t know if that would happen, but it seems like it could be a possibility.
Only time will tell.
So! It looks like the Feds have at least 53 Trillion dollars to come up with some kinda way… most likely by printing its way out of its obligations. This of course will lead to a hyperinflationary episode that will make Germany and Zimbabwe look like small peas run over by a Tractor going 100 miles an hour.
The Big Picture: The Federal government is the engine of Feminist Politics in the United States, and it runs on the oil of fiat money, cheap credit, and massive loans from foreign nations. Unfortunately for feminism, these sources of “energy” are drying up, little by little, on a daily basis. When the Federal government runs out of gas, we will see the Political Feminist movement take one hell of a haircut, and its considerable influence will decline.
Although feminist family values are currently a matter of Public Policy from which legislators, executives, and judicial officials are loathe to deviate from, I predict that we will see that emphasis change to a policy of family preservation and (with enough active participation and vigorous protest from the populace) erring on the side of Liberty, Responsibility, and Justice in order to make policy whenever the existing rules are unclear or vauge. The economic and political survival of the Republic depends on it.
More to come.
After a long week at the salt mines, it's time to kick back, crack open some brew, and reflect on the week's events.
Recent developments continue to support my thesis that the era of Political Feminism, that great political ball-breaker, has no sustainable future.
Happy day!!
Without further ado, let's move to the evidence.
In the legal arena, MRAs have scored a major legal victory in New Jersey.
According to the Illustrious David Usher:
... In June, New Jersey trial court judge Francis B. Schultz did his judicial homework and found portions of the New Jersey domestic violence laws are unconstitutional. Attorney David Heleniak, who is also a board member of the True Equality Network, represented the husband in this ground-breaking decision.
In Crespo v. Crespo, Judge Schultz applied the Matthews-Eldridge balancing test to properly assess the standard of review required for these cases (trial court judges rarely do this on the notion that only high courts need weigh fundamental elements of due process). He found that since restraining orders impact constitutionally protected parental rights, the highest evidentiary standard of “clear and convincing evidence” applies when determining if restraining orders are issued.
In his decision, Schultz also rejected a common practice of state legislatures who often improperly dictate evidentiary standards and due-process provisions to the courts. It is long held that the standard of review and procedural matters are exclusively the venue of the courts.
The difference between applying the “preponderance of evidence” standard and the strict-scrutiny “clear and convincing” standard in domestic violence cases is important. The “preponderance of evidence” standard, and the lower standard of review presently applied, encourages and rewards false assertions by trial lawyers or clients whose cases have little or no merit whatsoever. Under this standard, evidence is unimportant or even unnecessary.
The “clear and convincing” evidentiary standard brings evidence to the forefront of the decision. If evidence of past or future serious violence exists, a restraining order will be issued.
The Supremacists-at-Bar were horrified about the decision. It means the collapse of their arrangement running trial courts as renegade Star Chambers...
Firstly, Dear Readers, we should all applaud True Equality Network, and all of the Men's Rights Activists in the political, lobbying, and legal arenas who have worked hard, put their boots on the ground, and staked their fortunes and their sacred honor in order to beat the feminists at their own game.

U.S. States in Trouble.
Checking in with Mish the Mighty's blogspot, we find that State governments are in a world of hurt:
... 29 Troubled States
The list of states in trouble is 29 on the way to 50. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is reporting 29 States Faced Total Budget Shortfall Of At Least $48 Billion In 2009.
Washington, California, and New York have all recently acted. Every other state will eventually follow to varying degrees.
The worst states as a percentage of budget gaps vs. general funds are in order: California (21.3%), Arizona (17.8%), Nevada (13.5%), Rhode Island (12.6%), Florida (11.0%), New York (9.1%), New Jersey (7.6-10.6%), and Alabama (9.2%).
Those eight states are already in deep trouble. Another 21 are in less trouble...
With that being said, State governments are doing all they can to avoid a crisis of biblical proportions. And, while many legislators are (outwardly) sympathetic to "Domestic Violence" and "Child Abuse" and "Violence againt Women" and all that jazz; and while it is a fact that States drive family breakup in order to receive fiat Federal dollars, most States are not in a position to expand new programs, and existing programs that don't make the critical list to be funded may well find themselves terminated due to lack of said funding.

On top of these obligations, which include Social Security, Medicare, and other entitlement programs, the Feds are getting ready to write a check that it can’t hope to cash (without triggering a dollar devaluation and an eventual collapse).
Fanne and Freddie in trouble
According to Bloomberg:
“… Congress gave Washington-based Fannie and McLean, Virginia- based Freddie the ability this year to buy ``jumbo'' loans for the first time. The mortgages for more than $417,000 made up almost a third of the U.S. market last year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
As their shares dropped as much as 76 percent the past month, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson proposed injecting capital into the companies and extending more credit should the need arise. This week U.S. lawmakers reached agreement on a modified version of the plan, which Paulson said is essential for safeguarding U.S. financial markets.
Bailout Package
The legislation passed yesterday by the House would authorize Paulson to bail out Fannie and Freddie while placing few restrictions on them. Lawmakers said they expected the Senate to approve the measure later this week, and the White House said President George W. Bush would sign it into law.
The government-sponsored companies, which buy home loans from banks and hold them or package them for sale to investors, accounted for more than 80 percent of the mortgage securities created in the first quarter, double the level of a year earlier, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. They own or guarantee almost half of the $12 trillion in U.S. home loans, and their purchases provide banks funds to offer more credit…
Let’s say that these government sponsored entities (GSEs) hold 5 Trillion dollars in U.S. mortgages. And, let’s assume that the GSEs will continue to suffer massive losses in the future (see here for an overview of unprecidented losses at the GSEs this quarter).
Assuming that losses at the GSEs will remain massive is a valid assumption, as this article at the Dr. Housing Bubble blogspot argues most effectively.
In addition, Istockanalyst.com informs us that the Congressional Budget Office has estimated the total number of loan defaults at the GSEs will be approximately 35%.
Going with these assumptions, then the Feds could potentially end up subsidizing these mortgage companies to the tune of ($5,000,000,000,000*.35) 1.75 Trillion dollars.
And what if the government decides to bail out the Big Three automakers? I don’t know if that would happen, but it seems like it could be a possibility.
Only time will tell.
So! It looks like the Feds have at least 53 Trillion dollars to come up with some kinda way… most likely by printing its way out of its obligations. This of course will lead to a hyperinflationary episode that will make Germany and Zimbabwe look like small peas run over by a Tractor going 100 miles an hour.
The Big Picture: The Federal government is the engine of Feminist Politics in the United States, and it runs on the oil of fiat money, cheap credit, and massive loans from foreign nations. Unfortunately for feminism, these sources of “energy” are drying up, little by little, on a daily basis. When the Federal government runs out of gas, we will see the Political Feminist movement take one hell of a haircut, and its considerable influence will decline.
Although feminist family values are currently a matter of Public Policy from which legislators, executives, and judicial officials are loathe to deviate from, I predict that we will see that emphasis change to a policy of family preservation and (with enough active participation and vigorous protest from the populace) erring on the side of Liberty, Responsibility, and Justice in order to make policy whenever the existing rules are unclear or vauge. The economic and political survival of the Republic depends on it.
More to come.

InsideCatholic: Taken into Custody Review.
Check it out here.
Respect to Men's News Daily for providing the linkage.
Story and comments are right on target.
We here at Togakure School recommend that men Do Not Marry, and Do Not Have Children in Feminist friendly countries such as the U.S., the U.K., Australia, or Canada.
Don't do it.
If you must marry, be sure to choose a woman who was born and raised in traditional, family friendly cultures, and by all means, relocate to her native country if the laws are Man friendly.
Women who come from divorced or single parent families are to be avoided. Why ask for trouble?
If you bring your foreign bride to the Feminist West, then understand that you can lose your life, your livelihood, your children, and your honor, if you fail to please her.
Don't. Get. Married.
Do. Not. Have. Children. With. Western. Women.
Aiight?
If you follow my advice, you will certainly live long and prosper.
Peace.

Financial Sense: Obama's Marxist Connections.
Now for most of us in the Movement, you already know that Obama is a hardcore leftist.
If you want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes, listen to this podcast by the Financial Sense team.
The recording gets to Obama and his Marxist mentors about 2/3rds of the way through. If you have time, listen to the whole presentation; as it is highly informative.
Interestingly, the podcast mentions the name of Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci, an old friend of Men's Rights Activists everywhere:
Based on this information, it makes perfect sense that Obama seeks to destroy, demonize, and discredit black men (and all men by extension) at every opportunity.
These same men, if they could put a name to their pain, would be the ones to fight the Senator's proposals with all of their being. If they fully understood Classical Liberalism, Free Markets, Low Taxes, Sound Money, and the negative effects that feminism and socialism have wrought upon the black community, they would resist Obama's manifesto for "Change."
Some of them, for reasons differing from my own, already are:
Touching on the issue of fanatical support within the black community for the Senator, some of my peoples on the street believe that the economic and political concepts I advocate are "for white people", or "Republican", and therefore reject them out of hand without doing any serious research and analysis for themselves.
That attitude just goes to show how far we as a people have fallen. Fredrick Douglas, as an example, would never accept socialism as a solution to the black man's problems.
There is nothing "white" about keeping the fruits of your labor, instead of forfeiting it all to the State, which is only going to squander it anyway.
There is nothing "Republican" about having inalienable Constitutional rights that cannot be legislated away by government.
There is nothing wrong with having a stable currency that fulfils the traditional definitions of money:
A) A unit of account
B) A store of value
C) A medium of exchange
There is nothing immoral about black people, or anyone else, having access to cheap, functional arms for their self defense. In fact, poor people in high crime areas need weapons more than the rich, most of whom spend considerable sums for their own security.
Black people would be much better off under a system that actively upheld Constitutional principles, maintained a stable currency linked to gold or silver, and allowed them to save and invest the money that they earned. To say nothing about the free-marketplace of love that a feminist free society would allow.
We are like any other people. There are many in the black community that have the will and the skills to be free-market capitalists. Not many of us seek a government handout, enjoy getting jacked in order to pay taxes, or appreciate paying more for milk, bread, tobacco or gasoline.
And yet, the more vocal minority of "Something for Nothing" thrillseekers, as well as the economically clueless among us thinks that the hardcore Marxism that Mr. Obama represents is how things are supposed to be, and that is tragic. Black folks have been living in the shadow of socialistic government programs since the 1960's. Where has it gotten us?
Answer: Shitsville.
Some automatically label my Libertarian ideals as "Republican" because they have seen how the Democratic Party in the past, and the Republican Party (formerly known in the black community as the Party of Lincoln) in modern times, have treated blacks with contempt and outright racism.
And, since free-market capitalist ideas have become associated in the collective black consciousness with slavery and racism, many of us automatically reject them out of hand. Again, this is a big mistake.
Natural rights, social liberties, and economic freedom ARE NOT MUTALLY EXCLUSIVE. Our goal as Americans (of all stripes) should be to evolve to the point where our government is doing what it is supposed to be doing:
Upholding the political, social, and economic freedoms and responsibilities of all people without prejudice. Any attempt to separate the broad spectrum of freedom into piece parts, such as allowing policial freedom but banning certain forms of peaceful and non-coercive religious expression, or allowing economic freedom while instituting a policy of social apartheid, is DOOMED TO FAILURE.
And, as people everywhere will soon learn, giving up one's economic freedom, while still expecting full political freedom, is a foolish idea and a grave mistake that will be realized too late.
Ok, getting back to the impact of Mr. Obama's policies on Americans in general, how has anyone (besides the government's partners in crime) truly benefited from the increasing size and scope of the government? Are Americans as a whole ready to pay up to 70% of their income to the government??
Look, if the business model sucks, then no amount of government money, regulations, taxes, or demagoguery is going to make it better. Our current model is "Something for nothing," and look where that's gotten us. We need to take it back to the old school, and institute our traditional policy of sound money, economic liberty, restraining the government to its Constitutional chains, minimal taxes, and allowing market forces to set interest rates.
** Cough!! Abolish the Fed!! Cough!! **
Ahem. To sum it all up, we are on the edge of the Abyss, and we as a nation need to take a collective step back. Otherwise, men such as Mr. Obama will push us headlong over the cliff.
And it will be a very hard fall.
Toku.

Interestingly, the podcast mentions the name of Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci, an old friend of Men's Rights Activists everywhere:
... THE PERSONAL IS THE POLITICAL
In 1926, an Italian communist named Antonio Gramsci ended up in Mussolini’s prison after a return from Russia. While there, he wrote his “prison notebooks” and they laid out a plan for destroying Western faith and culture. His plans included ways to undermine and discourage Westerners through the intentional collapse of the existing social structure from within.
Gramsci advocated not only Marxist class warfare, which was economically focused, but also social and cultural warfare at the same time. His theories and the “slow march through the culture” (or institutions) which he envisioned to destroy the West are enshrined in current American social policy. His theories surrounding “hegemony” and a “counter-hegemony” were designed to destroy Western social structure and overthrow the “West” from within.
Hegemony, as defined by Gramsci is that widely accepted system of values, morals, ethics, and social structure which holds a society together and creates a cohesive people. Western social structures holding society together (i.e. “the hegemony”) include: authority, morality, sexual restraint, monogamous marriage, personal responsibility, patriotism, national unity, community, tradition, heredity, education, conservatism, language, Christianity, law, and truth. His theory called for media and communications to slowly co-opt the people with the “counter-hegemony” propaganda message.
"... Hegemony operates culturally and ideologically through the institutions of civil society which characterises mature liberal-democratic, capitalist societies. These institutions include education, the family, the church, the mass media, popular culture, etc." [ii]
Through a systematic attack of these institutions he termed the “slow march through the culture,” Gramsci theorized that once these institutions were sufficiently damaged the people would insist on an end to the madness allowing totalitarian control of the Western world. A similar form of these theories was tried before America by the National Socialists (Nazis) headed by Hitler...
