Togakure's Musings: 11-02-08

Welcome back Stormtroopers!!

Time for another fun filled installment of Togakure School.

Wowzers!



Socialism Cometh.




Before we dig in, I'd like for you to listen to analyst Peter Schiff explain why an Obama presidency will spell doom for the U.S. Economy.




Also, please listen to this week's commentary from the Financial Sense team. They read letters from real life small business owners on the air, and highlight what is going to happen once Obama begins to tax "wealthy" small business owners into oblivion. And don't miss Mr. Eric King's comments on the upcoming Dollar Collapse towards the end of the segment.

While there is much debate about whether inflation or deflation is going to carry the day, I am of the opinion that inflation (defined as debasing the U.S. dollar by means of massive injections of cash and credit) will win out as time goes on. It might take a year to manifest, but we will have unprecedented inflation before it's all said and done. And once that occurs, Hyperinflation and massive dollar dumping could be the outcome.

And finally, please watch this video entitled, The Laffer Curve, Part I: Understanding the Theory which illustrates what happens when taxes are raised to insanely high levels, levels that we might see under an Obama Administration.




It should be noted, dear reader, that I prefer that Fedgov receive an absolute minimum amount of tax revenue. After all, the power to tax is the power to destroy. The less money the Feds have to burn, the better. However, if there are going to be immoral measures such as income taxes on labor, less is definitely better than more.

Now that you've checked out all the links and acquired all manner of information, allow me to proceed with my commentary.

The problem with Socialism (which is what Obama wants to bring to the table) is that while everyone is entitled to basic goods and services, the overall quality is average, mediocre, or in many cases, inferior to what a genuine free market and free enterprise system is capable of bringing into existence. All of the historical innovations, such as autos, radios, computers, microwaves, the Internet, the Windows operating system, cellular phones... all of these inventions came from the ideas of men who were free to bring these ideas into fruition, and were rewarded economically for doing so. They took the risk, and they reaped the rewards. And through the efforts of the 20% who dare to dream, all of society is better off.

Socialism, where everyone is equal on paper, encourages the thoughts and behaviors that lead to waste, mediocrity, and underachievement. Liberty, equality of opportunity, and free enterprise encourage the thoughts and actions that have led to some of the most productive, life-saving, fulling, and revolutionary goods and services that mankind has ever known.

The solution to our current problems, as Dr. Ron Paul is fond of saying, is more freedom, not less. More liberty, not less. More free enterprise, not socialism.

The question to ask is... why choose a system of social organization, such as Socialism, that produces institutions that limit human creativity and ability? Why does Obama and other Leftist thinkers want to wallow in the Pigpen instead of shooting for the stars?

Some would answer that Socialism is needed at this point because "Capitalism" is the cause of our current malaise, and I would strongly disagree with this misguided notion. As many experts have noted, we do not have a true system of free enterprise in this country today. What we do have is a corporatist, fascist system where banks and huge multinational conglomerates are granted special privileges at the expense of the Sovereign individual, and the multitude of small businesses that employ the bulk of the nation's people.

This is grossly unfair, and inefficient besides (a healthy free-market economy does not need trillions of dollars to keep it functioning). The big banks that lost billions in the financial debacle have proven beyond doubt that they do not deserve to be in business. And yet, the government is doing everything in its power to prop up this group of thieves and liars. And so the outcome of this is that the most incompetent people and institutions survive, while soundly managed banks, corporations, businesses, and prudent individuals are punished, at the implied pain of government action if they dare protest this highway robbery in progress.

When you have a private/public banking cartel such as ours, productive resources, savings, and treasure are forcibly diverted into these ratholes, whereas in a truly free market, investors, savers, consumers, and government regulators would punish failing or reckless institutions by selling their stocks and bonds, withdrawing funds, taking their business elsewhere, or prosecuting enterprises that violate laws designed to prevent fraud and protect the rights of investors and consumers, thereby forcing inefficient or unethical institutions into bankruptcy.

Shortly thereafter, their assets and their best talent will be taken over by better and more skillful entities. Unfortunately, our economy no longer functions in this manner, and consumers and savers are expected to foot the bill, i.e. socialize the losses. Of course, those same consumers and investors never see any part of the ill-gotten gains.

Unsurprisingly, the people are pissed.

Increasingly, as this crisis has worn on, the people are beginning to wake up and see our system for what it really is, a fascist entity that cares nothing about their interests, and are demanding that the current regime be dismantled, and a new system, one that is more prudent and responsive towards their interests, be implemented.

Unfortunately, the Hegelian Dialectic is alive and well. In past posts, we discussed how Mr. Obama, the probable winner of the November 4th Presidential election, is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Not only is he a devout feminist [a], negrophobe, Marxist, and One Worlder, but he is about to receive an overwhelming mandate from the people to carry out his agenda.

Combine that with a majority Democratic Congress, and it looks to be two to four (remember, there are elections in the House of Representatives every two years, and Congress is where the real power lies) very long years of femi-socialism... assuming that the economy doesn't utterly collapse in the meantime, which is a very real possibility.

From a Men's Rights perspective, we should understand that while the Political Feminist powerbase is about to be (temporarily) expanded, we have already endured the brunt of the feminist onslaught. Indeed, as we compare American social and financial policy with the planks of the Communist Manifesto, we recognize that we have been living in a collectivist State for quite some time. Indeed, when we consider the bulk of feminist legislation such as VAWA, Domestic Violence laws, and Restraining Orders; and the oppressive weight of feminist jurisprudence, including No Fault divorce, and the plethora of Anti-Male feminist propaganda that saturates our media outlets, the inescapable conclusion is that we have been living in feminist hell for decades. The damage has already been done.

Besides appropriating more fiat dollars to feminist pork in order to step up their efforts, there isn't much more that can be done to further their agenda, and any additional "in your face" moves the femi-socialists make will only drive more men into the Men's Rights Movement. In addition, since the Political feminist agenda is multi-faceted, attempting to cram policy down the throats of the people will result in unintended consequences, and resistance from unexpected collations of opposition.

The people in general, and men in particular, will only be pushed so far before they begin to push back. And, as I said previously, Political Feminist ambitions will continue to be limited by our economic downturn, which will lead, in my opinion, to many radical shifts in the social compact.

Political Feminism has no viable future long term, but I am sure the Beast won't go down without a fight. Until the dust settles, we as Men should be vigilant and stand ready to expose femi-socialist hypocrasy in all its forms, while nimbly avoiding the byzantine layers of laws and regulations they will enact in an effort to crush dissent.

Move to a position of safety and advantage, then counter-attack.

It will be a long, hard struggle for the next few years... but that's fine with me. I'll still be here, in the trenches, head down and boots on, encouraging men to stay out of the line of fire, and to work in their own way to combat feminist, socialist, globalist, and fascist tyranny, like the famous "Death from a Thousand Cuts." I plan on being a thorn in the arse of Socialists and feminists alike until the populace comes to the understanding that these ideologies are wasteful, futile, expensive, and not very workable.

When (not if) we go the way of Iceland, Political Feminism, and any other agenda that does not directly contribute to economic and social stability, will be thrown out the window. Circumstances, not politicians, will dictate social, political, and economic policy.










To sum it all up, I have just three words for the socialists, globalists, and feminists that think they are going to run the world into the ground without a peep of opposition.


BRING IT ON!!



Demographic Winter.



Gang,

Your author has been busy lately, learning about babies, childbirth, and labor as my wife and I prepare for the birth of our son.

I must admit that before I began my various childbirth classes, I had no true understanding of how marvelous and complex the whole pregnancy and childbirth experience really is. And I was quite unaware of the work involved in the birthing process for mothers and fathers alike.

As I go through this preparatory process, I can't help but to think how hard it must be for a woman to go it alone. She needs a lot of care and support during her term... and so why is it that feminists and others do everything in their power to trick women into believing that they are Superwoman and "don't need no man?" How could any rational person believe that men have absolutely nothing to do with the prenatal care and development of their children?

It boggles the mind because I am slowly starting to understand that it takes two to properly feed, clothe, shelter, and protect the newborn child. It's a lot of work and effort to properly care for a child, and fathers have a huge part to play.

Although many women (single, divorced, and soon to be divorced) in the Matriarchal West look to Big Daddy government to supply thier needs, government has no resources of its own and has to rape and plunder the father's pockets in order to inefficiently transfer that wealth to the mother. Massive bureaucracies and police state entities must be created in order to insure that women and their fatherless children are taken care of.

All of this creates animosity, greed, hatred, and a host of other negative emotions in the hearts of men, women, and children alike, wastes billions of dollars, and leads to weaker families and marriages, and produces children who are worse off than the children of two parent homes.

From the Daily Mail:

Children perform better if mother stays at home

Babies with stay-at-home mothers learn better, says research

Babies should be looked after by their mothers in their first years of life, Tony Blair's favourite think tank signalled yesterday.

It published research that admitted babies and toddlers sent for long hours in daycare learn less quickly, have worse health, and behave worse than other children.

It also suggested that the children suffer because mothers who return home from work tired and unhappy are less able to give them the time and full attention they need...

And our present system, where women are demonized for being married mothers, and men are discouraged from being fathers is desirable and better because...

While some ignorant persons would argue that men aren't necessary in their children lives, many authorities are well aware of the important qualities that fathers bring to the table.

The hospitals, for example, have tons of information written specifically for fathers. Why they should be there, how can they help the mother, what they can do to help care for the child, the importance of reading and talking to babes, so forth and so on.

So then, WHY IN THE HELL DOES OUR SOCIETY ENCOURAGE FAMILY DESTRUCTION, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A CRAP TON OF DATA TELLING US THAT FAMILY BREAKUP IS DISASTROUS TO THE CHILD, THE PARENTS, AND THE NATION??

Why?

Can anyone give me an answer to this question that makes sense?

Our civilization is really screwed up, and my latest experiences confirm my judgment. Up is down. Left is right. Good is evil. Evil is good. Fathers are not necessary. Women need men like fish need bicycles.

Whatever.

In any event, the feminist war on families has led us to this moment... Demographic Winter.

An interesting film about a little known problem that will soon hit nations around the world like a tidal wave.

Recent events have confirmed my basic outlook on Political Feminism... it has to die. the quicker it goes, the better off my son will be. And for his sake, I'm gonna keep on keepin' on, disrespecting feminism at every possible opportunity.


Outro



Regardless of your political affiliation, please do your duty as an American citizen and VOTE. I would suggest that you choose the candidate that fits your ideals and your vision of what America could be and should be like.

And if that person of vision does not fit within the two party mold, please don't hesitate to go third party, as I have done. If enough individuals vote for true and correct values and principles, instead of voting for a party, then real change will be effected in time.

Thanks for visiting Togakure School, and be here next time when we talk about discipline, and why men need to be in a position to dish it out.

Peace.
