Little Known Political Facts.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Seeing as how Election Day is rapidly drawing near, I've decided to post some interesting videos outlining the history of the Republican and the Democratic parties with respect to the protection of the Natural Rights of black Americans, along with some interesting links from Mises.org and ABC's 20/20 program.




The Racist Democratic Party?



Before we go further, I'd like to make some disclosures.

I am a member of the National Rifle Association. I am not a member of the Republican, Democratic, or any other Party. I am not Conservative in the modern sense, nor am I a Liberal, as they are defined today.

I am a Classical Liberal.

By posting these videos, I am not implying that the Republican Party is "better" than the Democratic Party, and I also recognize that there have been considerable shifts in the political philosophies of both parties over time. The Democrats of today are not necessarily the Democrats of yesterday, and vice versa.

However, the ideas and actions of yesterday give birth to the ideas and actions of today. In a sense, they are related, and as such, traces of the ancestors can be witnessed in the thoughts, words, and deeds of the descendants.

As an example, by understanding the background and core philosophy of the Democrats of old, we can understand why the Democratic Party champions certain policies that are ruinous to the health and well-being of black Americans in our modern day.

I also want to stress that, since political parties stand for different things in different eras, it is crucial that the individual should not blindly swear allegiance to any one organization or group.

Each person should remain neutral and dispassionate while carefully examining each candidate and political group to see if their beliefs and objectives are consistent with the Universal Laws that lead to Life, Liberty, Happiness, Justice, and Wealth. If there is harmony, then one should commit themselves to supporting that particular person or group.

I say again, blind allegiance to any political group is dangerous, and must be avoided under all circumstances. This advice is especially intended for Men, because we as a group have no friends supporting our interests, and many detractors who want to strip away the few liberties we have left. Men, at this stage in our history, should consider themselves as minorities desperately in need of protection.

If you picture yourself as a hated and despised minority while watching these videos, Dear Reader, then what these people have to say should become much more relevant to you.


In any event, check 'em out:













This last video may come as a surprise to many... but not to me. My family is very political, with several members being government employees, police officers, and elected officials. My grandfather was the first black Republican elected official in the history of my city. In my generation, my politically connected family members are Democrats who reserve the right to vote Republican when it is in their best interests.













Interesting, is it not? It's amazing what schools don't teach when it comes to political history.




Lincoln vs. The Constitution.





(President Abraham Lincoln)


One of the above videos stated that Lincoln fought the Civil War (or The War Between the States as some call it) in order to end slavery, and because he had a deep and sincere desire to help the black man out. Unfortunately, this was not at all the case [a].

In the interest of accuracy, and a greater desire to understand our Constitutional process, I would like for you to listen to this lecture hosted by Mises.org entitled Lincoln vs. the Constitution.

As the talk explains, among Lincoln's critics of the handling of the war was Lysander Spooner, a famous abolitionist who argued quite eloquently that slavery was unconsitutional. He argued that Lincoln's actions during the war violated the Supreme Law of the Land, and that his commitment to end slavery and secure the liberty of millions was secondary to his desire to strengthen the national government at the expense of the Constitution and the States.

More tellingly, Mr. Spooner wrote an essay entitled, The Constitution of No Authority:

The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago.

And it can be supposed to have been a contract then only between persons who had already come to years of discretion, so as to be competent to make reasonable and obligatory contracts. Furthermore, we know, historically, that only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now. Most of them have been dead forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years.

And the constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them. They had no natural power or right to make it obligatory upon their children. It is not only plainly impossible, in the nature of things, that they could bind their posterity, but they did not even attempt to bind them. That is to say, the instrument does not purport to be an agreement between any body but “the people” then existing; nor does it, either expressly or impliedly, assert any right, power, or disposition, on their part, to bind anybody but themselves...

Blasphemy!

Or is it?




The Constitution, a Document of Freedom or Enslavement?





Spooner also points out:

... It is no exaggeration, but a literal truth, to say that, by the Constitution – not as I interpret it, but as it is interpreted by those who pretend to administer it – the properties, liberties, and lives of the entire people of the United States are surrendered unreservedly into the hands of men who, it is provided by the Constitution itself, shall never be “questioned” as to any disposal they make of them...

...The Constitution itself, then, being of no authority, on what authority does our government practically rest? On what ground can those who pretend to administer it, claim the right to seize men's property, to restrain them of their natural liberty of action, industry, and trade, and to kill all who deny their authority to dispose of men's properties, liberties, and lives at their pleasure or discretion?...

... The whole affair (speaking of the Rothschilds and other powerful Money Lenders who financed the Civil War for profit - Toku), on the part of those who furnished the money, has been, and now is, a deliberate scheme of robbery and murder; not merely to monopolize the markets of the South, but also to monopolize the currency, and thus control the industry and trade, and thus plunder and enslave the laborers, of both North and South. And Congress and the president are today the merest tools for these purposes.

They are obliged to be, for they know that their own power, as rulers, so-called, is at an end, the moment their credit with the blood-money loan-mongers fails. They are like a bankrupt in the hands of an extortioner. They dare not say nay to any demand made upon them. And to hide at once, if possible, both their servility and crimes, they attempt to divert public attention, by crying out that they have “Abolished Slavery!” That they have “Saved the Country!” That they have “Preserved our Glorious Union!” and that, in now paying the “National Debt,” as they call it (as if the people themselves, all of them who are to be taxed for its payment, had really and voluntarily joined in contracting it), they are simply “Maintaining the National Honor!”

"By maintaining the national honor,” they mean simply that they themselves, open robbers and murderers, assume to be the nation, and will keep faith with those who lend them the money necessary to enable them to crush the great body of the people under their feet; and will faithfully appropriate, from the proceeds of their future robberies and murders, enough to pay all their loans, principal and interest.

The pretense that the “abolition of slavery” was either a motive or justification for the war, is a fraud of the same character with that of “maintaining the national honor.”

Who, but such usurpers, robbers, and murderers as they, ever established slavery? Or what government, except one resting upon the sword, like the one we now have, was ever capable of maintaining slavery? And why did these men abolish slavery? Not from any love of liberty in general – not as an act of justice to the black man himself, but only “as a war measure,” and because they wanted his assistance, and that of his friends, in carrying on the war they had undertaken for maintaining and intensifying that political, commercial, and industrial slavery, to which they have subjected the great body of the people, both black and white (see here, here, and here for more information on white slavery - Toku). And yet these imposters now cry out that they have abolished the chattel slavery of the black man – although that was not the motive of the war – as if they thought they could thereby conceal, atone for, or justify that other slavery which they were fighting to perpetuate, and to render more rigorous and inexorable than it ever was before.

There was no difference of principle – but only of degree – between the slavery they boast they have abolished, and the slavery they were fighting to preserve; for all restraints upon men’s natural liberty, not necessary for the simple maintenance of justice, are of the nature of slavery, and differ from each other only in degree.

If their object had really been to abolish slavery, or maintain liberty or justice generally, they had only to say: All, whether white or black, who want the protection of this government, shall have it; and all who do not want it, will be left in peace, so long as they leave us in peace. Had they said this, slavery would necessarily have been abolished at once; the war would have been saved; and a thousand times nobler union than we have ever had would have been the result.

It would have been a voluntary union of free men; such a union as will one day exist among all men, the world over, if the several nations, so called, shall ever get rid of the usurpers, robbers, and murderers, called governments, that now plunder, enslave, and destroy them...


... Inasmuch as the Constitution was never signed, nor agreed to, by anybody, as a contract, and therefore never bound anybody, and is now binding upon nobody; and is, moreover, such an one as no people can ever hereafter be expected to consent to, except as they may be forced to do so at the point of the bayonet, it is perhaps of no importance what its true legal meaning, as a contract, is. Nevertheless, the writer thinks it proper to say that, in his opinion, the Constitution is no such instrument as it has generally been assumed to be; but that by false interpretations, and naked usurpations, the government has been made in practice a very widely, and almost wholly, different thing from what the Constitution itself purports to authorize. He has heretofore written much, and could write much more, to prove that such is the truth. But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist...

(Robert LeFevre)


Turning back to Mises.org, we find two very interesting lectures by Mr. Robert LeFerve entitled Background to The Constitution and The Constitution Revisited.

Please take the time to listen, as these talks expound on Spooner's general thesis: that the Constitution, and our political order in general, isn't designed to guarantee the Natural Rights of Liberty coupled with Responsibility, but to encumber our freedom and provide ever increasing amounts of power to the central government, which may have been the desire of the Federalist founding fathers from the beginning.

MRAs, in particular, will note how Mr. Lefevre's explanation of how the Constitution's promise of ensuring "domestic tranquility" opens the door for government regulation of the home, via VAWA and all manner of Domestic Violence laws, is right on the money.

Along the same lines, Mises Scholar Thomas Woods explains in Who Killed the Constitution how the document, which is supposed to restrain the government and limit its authority, has been totally ignored or used as a justification for limiting the rights of the People, all the while expanding the power and privilege of Fedgov. It's a short, yet enlightening discussion.




Government Mostly Sucks, and Final Remarks.




As Election 2008 rolls around, we here at Togakure School have to state some unpleasant truths.

A) Government mostly sucks. Please see this video for an excellent example as to why:





B) The Constitution, as it is written, is meaningless in modern American political discourse.


C) The Constitution is a flawed document that allowed our Republic to become an Imperial Democracy (which is now experiencing its Death Throes).

D) Politicians, political parties, Big Businesses, and bankers have sold the American people into financial servitude, covered up their past misdeeds, and have thoroughly confused the electorate to the point where they believe black is white, up is down, and freedom is slavery.

In the final analysis, Men should be very careful as to whom they support when it comes to politics, finance, religion, or any other discipline that requires the work, resources, and allegiance of other men. Many of our thoughts and beliefs, when closely examined, turn out to be the stale and useless facts that others have implanted in our minds while we attended government run schools.

After much reading and meditation on the subject of man, economics, politics, and spirituality, I have come to the conclusion that Men have inalienable and natural rights given to them by God; and all of the Constitutions, laws, political parties, and social customs in the world cannot change this singular reality. In my view, the reason why the People are not free is due to their (intentional and unintentional) ignorance, and that most will not accept the responsibility that the exercise of their awesome powers bring.

Government, to be frank, has gotten too big for its britches. However, instead of abolishing it altogether, I believe that we need to cut it back down to size so that it only handles certain core functions.

These functions are:

A) The protection of life, property (which can never include human beings), and liberty,

B) Enforcement of the responsibilities that come with rights,

C) The establishment of impartial, fair, and open venues to adjudicate disputes with other people and entities, corporate or governmental.

Speaking of these organizations:

No Corporation, no Public Official, and no Governmental unit is above the law, and none of these can escape the review of the People. As a matter of fact, these entities exist to better the lives of men, and only exist at the pleasure of the people.

My attitude is that these groups are subordinate to me and to the public at large and, when they aren't doing what they are supposed to be doing, they should be prepared for harsh criticism, being booted out of office, or seeing me in court as I sue for relief.

I for one refuse to bow down or kiss the wide arses of political hacks and corporate raiders. If anything, government and business should be bending over backwards to be of service to the people, and to justify their very existence.

After a long time of study and life experience, I now understand that the only person on this Earth that is going to look out for my best interests is Yours Truly. Looking to politicians, presidential candidates, and CEOs to solve all of my problems is just asking for trouble, in my view.

No matter what happens this election, please recognize that Power serves those who are awake, aware, and knowledgeable. An enlightened and knowledgeable citizenry can amend or write a new Constitution that would, in precise and unalterable terms, seal the Demonic Beast of government back to the Fourth Dimension where it rightfully belongs.

New and better ways of appointing Representatives, Executives, and Judges can be devised. The rights and responsibilities of all people can be protected and enforced. Correct economic, monetary, and fiscal processes can be written into a new Supreme Law of the Land that will virtually ensure that the nation enjoys an unparalleled standard of living.

It can be done, and it's not impossible if we as a nation are willing to learn from our mistakes, do the right things, and avoid incorrect or ineffective adventures like the plague.

All of this can be done IF the masses become aware of the powers they posses, STOP giving their power away to those who would do them harm, and take action to insure that favorable developments come to pass.

Toku out.

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:

... 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...

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.

Perfect Storm: The Beginning of the End.

Gang,

I would like to begin this post with a press release issued by Mr. Roy Den Hollander, Attorney and Men's Right's Crusader:

"Men just don't count in the Federal District Court of New York.


In a December 3, 2008 decision, Federal Judge William Pauley III approved the U.S. Government's use of secret proceedings to find U.S. citizen husbands of alien wives guilty of battery. The proceedings are kept secret from only the husband, not the alien wives, various government officials or various Feminist groups.

In a slip-shod opinion that reflects Judge Pauley III's effort to give men's rights the bums rush out of his court, he ignored the law and invented facts because of the ever present bureaucratic zeal to curry favor with the Feminists.

The case challenged the constitutionality of certain provisions of the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") that allow alien females to fraudulently gain U.S. citizenship by falsely accusing their U.S. husbands of battery. Under VAWA, the husband has no notice nor opportunity to refute the charges against him, the so-called evidence used for finding him guilty comes from his ex-wife, her immigration lawyer and feminist counselors. If by chance, the American man somehow gets evidence to the Government that shows his alien wife is lying, the evidence ends up in the garbage.

Judge Pauley III disdainfully brushed aside any concern for the rights of the husbands, which is common in the misandrist court of the Southern District of New York, to rule that such Nazi-like proceedings don't injure the husband. Think a minute—would you want the U.S. Government, listening only to your ex-wife, her lawyer and various feminists, to decide whether you committed felonies and misdemeanors against her. You know they are going to find you guilty because you're not there.

The Government then promises that no harm will come to you because all its findings will be kept secret, except from your ex-wife, her lawyer, various feminists, and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Oh, and by the way, if any of the Government's decisions about you committing crimes leaks to the general public, there is not a damn thing you can do—legally. There are no lawsuits or administrative proceedings you can bring to correct the false record or keep it from being published. To judges like William Pauley III, such are not injuries because they are injuries to males not females.

But there's something more important than Judge Pauley III's spinning of the law to favor feminists—ask yourself, does this Government process seem fair to you. "The heart of the matter is that democracy implies respect for the elementary rights of men, however suspect or unworthy those men may be; a democratic government must therefore practice fairness; and fairness can rarely be obtained by secret, one-sided determination of facts decisive of rights." Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee v. McGrath, 341 U.S. 123, 170 (Frankfurter J., concurring)(1951).

Where's Felix Frankfurter when justice needs him?

Please visit Mr. Hollander's website for more information and documents concerning his VAWA challenge.

This blogger has to give madd RESPECT to the good counselor for making the high profile effort to challenge this discriminatory legislation through the American feminist legal system. Thank you sir, for your efforts.






Feminism: the highest law of the land.






Unfortunately, as I stated in my previous post on The Law, the issue of whether men have constitutional rights that should be upheld even in the face of bigoted, misguided, and ill-informed opposition has long been settled.

Allow me to state my position once more: MEN IN THE FEMINIZED WEST HAVE NO NATURAL RIGHTS. PERIOD.

Men are allowed to have rights so long as they do not go against what the Mob declares they should have. Our Democratic system, on many occasions has stated this to be so.

Indeed, feminism and anti-male hatred is a matter of public policy, to be upheld at all times and in all circumstances.

So what is public policy?

>A principle that no person or government official can legally perform an act that tends to injure the public.

Public policy manifests the common sense and common conscience of the citizens as a whole that extends throughout the state and is applied to matters of public health, safety, and welfare. It is general, well-settled public opinion relating to the duties of citizens to their fellow citizens. It imports something that fluctuates with the changing economic needs, social customs, and moral aspirations of the people. Public policy enters into, and influences, the enactment, execution, and interpretation of legislation.

Notice how the ideal of public policy directly contrasts with the Republican idea that men are entitled to fundamental, inalienable, natural rights which cannot be set aside or violated in any cases whatever.

Understand that we live in the Mob Rule of Feminized Democracy, and not in a Constitutional Republic as many of us have been led to believe.

Now some may ask, is feminism a "third pillar" of American public policy?

I would say that it is. Firstly, one must consider how whenever feminist family values and claims of equal protection and due process come into conflict in American courts of law, feminism almost always trumps any and all of its challengers.

Even if feminist policies violate the most sacred and time honored concepts of right and justice, it doesn't matter. Feminism, By Thunder, must not be harmed! The privileges of women must be upheld, no matter how great the injustice!

Secondly, consider the volumes of books devoted to this very idea, that feminist jurisprudence must overpower all opposition in order to secure the "liberation" of women.

So then, lets face facts. Feminism, domestic violence, restraining orders, the wage gap, the glass ceiling... everything about feminism that is largely based on lies, damned lies, and bullshit, is the highest and most important public policy objective in the United States, and the modern Western World. Men are second class citizens in all the ways that truly matter. Also, recognize that the legal subjection of men has been going on for a very long time. Nothing new to see here folks!

And finally, the solutions to our problems will not come from the White House, the Supreme Court, the Media, or Congress. Nor will they come from the Republican or the Democratic parties. The government and the mainstream political establishment has abandoned us. The halls of justice are closed; the spirit of the law having fled from the American courts long ago.

We are on our own gentlemen. The sooner we accept this, the better off we will be.

Now with all that said, I must confess that, as I type these words, I feel more and more irrelevant.

Why?

Because events are in motion, right now at this very moment, that will insure the complete obliteration of our corrupt and hypocritical feminist/fascist/socialist/globalist/platonic regime.

The people, holders of true power, are getting ready to experience a rude awakening.

Public policy, which has been a great enemy of men, is getting ready to morph into our best friend and ally.





When the power of Political Feminism will be broken.







(Niccolo Machiavelli)





Machiavelli, in his The Discourses, number 58, The Masses are more Knowing and more Constant than is a Price, speaking about the power of the Roman masses, notes that:

"But when it was necessary to take action against some powerful person, it did so... in the case of others who sought to oppress it. Also, when it had to obey dictators or consuls in the public interest, it did so (p. 252)."

The writer concludes:

"When the populace has thrown off all restraint, it is not the mad things it does that are terrifying, nor is of present evils that one is afraid, but what may come of them... ...The brutalities of the masses are directed against those they suspect of conspiring against the public good (p. 257)."

What I take from these passages are that the masses have the power to move heaven and earth for their own benefit whenever they please. Did not the Founding Fathers say that all political power is inherent in the People?

What is going on today is a function of ignorance. The masses have allowed themselves to be dumbed down into the Sheeple that they are today. Intentionally and unintentionally, the people find themselves wholly ignorant of how wicked their cultural, legal, religious and economic institutions have become. Much of the blame can be laid directly at the feet of America's public school system. When one learns who was behind the creation of our modern government schools, and who benefits from their existence, one will find that the ignorance of our People is far from accidental.

And, in spite of all the injustice that has been carried out in their name, the great mass of people in this country have managed to carve out decent lives for themselves. In spite of massive government and banking interventions into their lives, as well as the unchecked growth of feminist courts of plunder, they are more or less the captains of their destiny. Life, up until this point, has been fairly good.

However, the illusion of prosperity, plenty, and power is about to be shattered. Peak Credit, and all of the luxuries that will soon be out of reach, has arrived. When the full ramifications of this event are felt by the masses, unpredictable social change will manifest, seemingly overnight.

Using the dismemberment of the rights of men as an example, change on this front will come only when the people decide that feminist public policy is not in their best interests. When this shift occurs, the power of Political Feminism will be broken. On that happy day, feminist lobbyists will receive cordial handshakes, warm smiles, and promises to act on feminist public policies, but nothing will come of it. Throughout all of the corridors of power, the doors will be slammed shut on feminists like the tombs of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs closed shut upon their mummies, not to be opened again for thousands of years.

It will take a moment of mass revelation for this to occur, and before such a paradigm shift happens, an event of biblical proportions; a Category 11 hurricane will need to descend upon the populace. Only an excruciating amount of misery will serve as the catalyst... Western Man, at this point, is too far gone for him to fix the error of his ways before calamity strikes.

Speaking of the mysterious power of Habitforce, writer and success pioneer Napoleon Hill explains:

" ... one may control one's earthly destiny to an astounding degree, simply by exercising the privilege of shaping one's thoughts. But once these thoughts have been shaped into definite patterns, they are taken over by the law of Cosmic Habitforce and are made into permanent habits, and they remain as such unless and until they have been supplanted by different and stronger thought patterns.

Now we come to the consideration of one of the most profound of all truths: the fact that most people who obtain the higher brackets of success seldom do so until they have undergone some tragedy or emergency which reached deeply into their souls and reduced them to that circumstance of life called "failure."

The reason for this strange phenomenon is readily recognized by those who understand the law of Cosmic Habitforce, for it consists in the fact that these disasters and tragedies of life serve to break up established habits--habits which have led eventually to the inevitable results of failure-- and thus break the grip of Cosmic Habitforce and allow these failures to formulate new and better habits.

We see the same phenomenon in the results of warfare. When nations or large groups of people so relate themselves that their efforts do not harmonize with the Divine Plan of nature, they are forced to break up their habits, by warfare or some other equally disturbing circumstances, such as business depressions or epidemics of disease, so that a new start may be made which conforms more nearly to Nature's ultimate and overall scheme (The Master Key to Riches, p. 438)."

And, in our modern times, Mr. Hill's theory of Habitforce is about to be put to the ultimate test.




All Hail the coming Depression!




As Americans look around them, they cannot help but notice that their religious, social, economic, and political institutions are falling apart before their very eyes.


Once mighty manufacturers beg for their financial lives on national television.

Record numbers of Americans are unemployed, and living on government aid.

Tent cities are the new housing boom as millions of properties are entering foreclosure.

The Federal Reserve is inflating the money supply like there's no tomorrow, setting the stage for hyperinflation if they screw up... which they probably will.

The total cost of massive multi-trillion dollar bailouts outstrips every major American spending initiative except World War II.

Financial writer Ty Andros, in his latest piece entitled The Crack Up Boom, Part XIII notes:

... let’s examine a recent missive from James Bianco at Bianco Research in Chicago:

“Jim Bianco of Bianco Research crunched the inflation adjusted numbers. The bailout has cost more than all of these big budget government expenditures – combined:

* Marshall Plan: Cost: $12.7 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $115.3 billion
* Louisiana Purchase: Cost: $15 million, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $217 billion
* Race to the Moon: Cost: $36.4 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $237 billion
* S&L Crisis: Cost: $153 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $256 billion
* Korean War: Cost: $54 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $454 billion
* The New Deal: Cost: $32 billion (Est), Inflation Adjusted Cost: $500 billion (Est)
* Invasion of Iraq: Cost: $551b, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $597 billion
* Vietnam War: Cost: $111 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $698 billion
* NASA: Cost: $416.7 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $851.2 billion

TOTAL: $3.92 trillion (data courtesy of Bianco Research)

That is $686 billion less than the cost of the credit crisis thus far.

The only single American event in history that even comes close to matching the cost of the credit crisis is World War II: Original Cost: $288 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $3.6 trillion

The $4.6165 trillion dollars committed so far is about a trillion dollars ($979 billion dollars) greater than the entire cost of World War II borne by the United States: $3.6 trillion, adjusted for inflation (original cost was $288 billion).”

Thank you, James.

So the cost of the current crisis is greater than all of the above, including World War II, and can be expected to at least DOUBLE from here. And of course Bianco uses the OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT measures of inflation, not the true numbers like we find at www.shadowstats.com . Now here’s the BAD news:

THESE NUMBERS DO NOT INCLUDE THE REST OF THE G7 and they are in as much or more trouble than the United States. The reality of this has just BEGUN to be felt. It has happened so fast that the ALTERED REALITY we will endure is only in its infancy!!!

As Mr. Andros stated above, the economic crisis isn't limited to the United States. And international troubles will only reinforce America's financial tsunami. After all, wasn't a One World Order the goal of all this anyway??

My wife (who holds a bachelor's degree in political science) and I often have conversations about whether or not the European Union will survive. My position is that the EU is headed for splitsville, and that the driving reason will be the upcoming economic collapse that will decimate European institutions and force some nations to quit the Euro [1][2] in the long run.

In his article entitled, European Banks to be Hit by Collapsing Emerging Markets, Mr. Jack Crooks writes:

"The news that gets lost in the cacophony of reports about the U.S. economy is this: Two major crises now hammering emerging nations:

First, sinking exports. Over the last few years, the historic economic growth in emerging markets like Ukraine, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Poland, and others was driven almost entirely by demand for their exports from the U.S. and Europe.

Now, with the U.S. and Eurozone economies sliding, that demand has started to evaporate. And because these countries have little domestic demand to drive their economies, they've suddenly been thrown into a struggle for their very survival.

Second, plunging oil. As the economic crisis has slashed oil prices by nearly two-thirds, oil-producing emerging nations — Russia, Venezuela, Ecudor and others — are suddenly starving for cash to pay their bills.

Combined, these two events are now conspiring to set off a chain reaction that will bring the biggest creditors to these emerging markets — such as Europe and the UK — to their knees. When the history books are written, two key dates will be cited as moments when critical warnings were clearly telegraphed, duly recorded and promptly ignored until it was too late:

Key Date #1: Thursday, November 13. Seventeen days ago, the government of Ecuador failed to pay interest on bonds it had sold to investors. Citing plunging oil revenues, the government postponed its interest payments for a full month.

Key Date #2: Monday, December 15. Fifteen days from today, Ecuador must make those interest payments plus interest for the month of November. If it fails — if Ecuador defaults on its government bonds — it's could be first the domino in a chain reaction of government debt defaults that will sweep the globe...

... A few days ago, leaders from 21 nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and three other international organizations attended an emergency, two-day summit to address the catastrophe among emerging nations. Japan pledged $100 billion for emergency loans to the governments of South Korea, India, Indonesia and other economies and urged other potential donor nations to do the same.

Similar stories can be told about dozens of emerging economies throughout Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America: They're drowning in debt they built up during the good times … and now, with their exports vanishing before their very eyes, their economies are cratering.

Why should we care that these emergency economies are on the verge of collapse?

Because …

European Banks Loaned These Countries A Staggering $3.5 Trillion. When They Go Down, So Will Europe's Largest Banks!

Fortunately for us, U.S. banks loaned only $500 billion to these emerging markets and Japanese banks loaned them only $200 billion. But European banks loaned them a whopping $3.5 trillion — five times more than the U.S. and Japan combined.

Amazingly, European banks loaned these countries amounts so large they're the equivalent of a whopping 21% of their Eurozone's total GDP, according to Bank for International Settlements. And when you look at individual countries, the numbers are even larger:

In Sweden, banks loaned an amount equal to 25% of that country's GDP …

Swiss banks loaned the equivalent of 50% — fully HALF — of Switzerland's total GDP …

And Austrian banks loaned an amount equal to 85% that nation's GDP — with 80% going to the countries in Eastern Europe that are now suffering the greatest economic pain of all! ..."

Now add into the mix a Quadrillion dollars worth of derivatives, Credit Default Swaps, and other financial insanity hidden deep within the massive amounts of liabilities that banks and other economic players owe other institutions, and we could easily be on the verge of a worldwide financial meltdown that, quite frankly, scares the crap out of me!

All it takes is just one failed bank, or one bankrupt hedge fund, and economic Armageddon would be all but assured. And please keep in mind that, even if the Fed and other central banks decide to print trillions of dollars to save vulnerable institutions, it is the fundamental law of accounting that every debit entry have a corresponding credit entry. In other words, all of these trillions of dollars will eventually end up on somebody's balance sheet... most likely the taxpayers.

Which of course will lead to the endgame: A U.S. Bond Market/U.S. Dollar crisis. But that happens later.

Speaking of the U.S., we should also remember that the government bodies must responsible for upholding and enforcing feminist tyranny, i.e. State and Local governments, are also feeling the squeeze in a major way.

From Mish's post entited, Avalanche Of Fiscal Irresponsibility Hits California:

The California budget deficit is now $11 billion, on a path to $28 billion. Given that it's no longer possible to put this crisis off, Schwarzenegger declares fiscal emergency.

With time and money running out for California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a fiscal emergency today and called legislators into a new special session that won't end until they agree on a way to trim the state's $11.2 billion budget deficit.

"Without immediate action, our state is headed for a fiscal disaster" in which California could run out of money to pay its bills by late February, the governor said in a news conference in Los Angeles.

He compared the growing deficit, which could reach $28 billion by 2010, to an avalanche gaining momentum, and he slammed the Legislature, Democrats and Republicans both, for not coming up with any solutions during a special session that ended Nov. 25...

Feminists rely on State and Local governments to pass and enforce a host of feminist friendly legislation including restraining order and domestic violence laws. However, these governmental units are falling upon hard times themselves, and their budget constraints are only going to increase in the coming years.

And, seeing as how feminist public policy wastes billions of dollars, methinks that, when the pain and anguish of maintaining our present system becomes unbearable, the politicians will be forced to do the right thing and chart a more pro-male and family friendly course of action. They won't do it because they have seen the light and are now ready to do the right thing, but they will do it because if they don't have their best and brightest men actively engaged in marriage, family life, child-rearing, and industry, then the nation will simply not survive. Already we see the impact this crisis is having on divorce rates, and other widespread changes will occur in the fullness of time.

I expect to see laws that currently discriminate against men, families and marriage be amended or repealed, quietly, over the coming decades. And, one fine day, the masses and the elite will join forces to toss feminist family values to the scrap heap, to rot in the afternoon sun.



I for one, can't wait.






Conclusions.






We have examined feminism, public policy, and the law and found each of them wanting.

In every respect, none of these upholds the true spirit of Justice as defined by Mr. Frederic Bastiat's essay, The Law.

At the present time, Mens Rights Activists should educate, debate, expose, and attack at every opportunity. At this stage of the game, raising awareness of the issues, with a vigorous counterattack against feminist ideology, is the best way to take the fight to our enemy. It goes without saying that high profile lawsuits, public protests, and well researched books and publications are also highly effective.

Now is the time to get our message out, to offer a positive alternative to the ruling party line, and now is the time to base our theory upon solid and irrefutable ground.

In the meantime, those who promote feminist jihad, as well as those who buy feminist bullshit hook, line and sinker, will only be convinced of the wrongness of their ways by the disaster they bring upon themselves. As was said previously, feminism is against nature, and violates the Universal Law. Therefore, it has already sown the seeds of its own destruction, and the best thing we as enlightened men can do is to simply get the hell out of the way, and whenever and however we can, help push the feminist/globalist/socialist/fascist Superexpress right over the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Little by little, this blog is becoming dated and irrelevant. Human beings are ever so slowly beginning to find their way home. Most people are already relearning the ancient lessons; that men and women need each other, that strong families are the basis for a strong nation, and no one loves you or cares about you more than your kith and kin. It's just a matter of time before public policy, and the laws that uphold it, catch up to the new reality.

So breath easy. It's only a matter of time before the Universal Law is enforced, with spectacular judgment for those who have ignored it for so long.

Go Ron Paul!!

Ladies and Gents,

We have our candidate!!

According to Married, one of the guys at the Excellent Don't Marry board, Ron Paul...

...is the ONLY member of congress who has consistently opposed VAWA:

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2002/roll422.xml
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll501.xml

His position on abortion is to leave it up to the states. Even though I support abortion, I agree with this because that's what the Constitution says, that issues like this should be left up to the states. Unlike most politicians and women, who think the constitution should mean whatever they want it to mean, Ron Paul actually thinks that the constitution should mean exactly what the constitution says.

Thank God (Blessed be He) for that!

Anti VAWA? No Federal level support for abortion? Anti North American Union?

Kumo absolutely, positively supports Ron Paul for President.

Think of the Supreme Court nominees this man would appoint!

His campaign website is here:

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/

Now here's the deal...

1) In order for Mr. Paul to get anywhere, he needs to win the Primaries. So, if possible, register to vote as a Republican and VOTE FOR RON PAUL!

2) Also, be sure to make donations, as often as you can, as much as you can. In politics, No Fundage, No love.

3) MRAs everywhere should spread the word, to as many people, on or offline, as possible. And I'm talking to the Heavyweights especially; the Mark Rudovs, the David Ushers, the Stephen Baskervilles. This IS a candidate we can get behind. If all of the various MRA groups throw their resources and support behind Mr. Paul, we stand a good chance of defeating the feminists at their own game. GET THE WORD OUT!

MRAs and Truthseekers should do whatever they can to get this man elected. The Fempire wasn't built in a day, but putting one of our people in the White House will go a long way towards defeating our Leftist opponents.

Get in the game!

Kumo.

P.S.,

Additional content is coming soon. Unfortunately, Kumo is quite busy in Real Life now-a-days; but I will be back to posting frequently as soon as possible. My apologies

Liquidity??

Good Afternoon, one and all!

Today I'd like to start off with this short piece concerning global liquidity:

John Hussman: Global Liquidity or Domestic Stupidity
Posted on May 29th,
2007 with stocks: IVV, SPY

Excerpt from fund manager John Hussman's
weekly essay on the U.S. market:

Interest rate trends are pushing higher not only in the U.S., but globally. One might wonder -- if there is so much "global liquidity," why are interest rates rising everywhere? Credit spreads are perking up modestly too, but haven't yet exploded higher in a way that would reflect an oncoming recession or an easing of general inflation pressures.

What's really going on is not the creation of "global liquidity" -- central banks worldwide are generally tightening. What investors have misconstrued as "global liquidity" is nothing but a combination of a) risk blindness among investors, and b) the U.S. going deep into debt to finance current consumption (both private and government spending), while China and other developing nations run huge surpluses to sell us that consumption. They then take the proceeds and buy a) Treasury securities, and b) our means of production. Piece by piece, we are selling off productive assets and claims to our future income, in return for present spending. That's not liquidity -- it's reckless, voluntary subjugation of our future prosperity. Indeed, China recently agreed to buy a chunk of Blackstone Group, and its government is establishing additional means to invest its surpluses by purchasing U.S. assets.

Smartest comments of the week: Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates, who
manages about $160 billion in assets for clients including central banks and
foreign governments, quoted in Barron's:

"Our situation today is a modern-day version of the time before the Bretton Woods breakup. It is very much analogous to 1968, '69, and '70, a period in which we had large imbalances, a fixed exchange rate, and Japan and Germany bought our bonds, and then there was a rebalancing. China today is similar to Japan then, in transition from being an emerging economy, except it is about eight times as large. The imbalances are only going to increase, and there'll need to be an adjustment for that. This will lead to depreciation in the value of the dollar relative to emerging countries' currencies, particularly those in Asia . It is going to mean the Fed's tradeoff between inflation and growth is going to be more acute in the next couple of years..."

Check out the rest of the post.

In the long term, we the American people have a very large bill coming due... one that I fear we will not be able to meet, without a lot of suffering and gnashing of teeth.

However, in a small ray of hope, the mainstream media is starting to sound the alarm, albeit, a little too late.

According to USA Today:

The federal government recorded a $1.3 trillion loss last year — far
more than the official $248 billion deficit — when corporate-style accounting
standards are used, a USA TODAY analysis shows.

The loss reflects a continued deterioration in the finances of Social Security and government retirement programs for civil servants and military personnel. The loss — equal to $11,434 per household — is more than Americans paid in income taxes in 2006.

"We're on an unsustainable path and doing a great disservice to future generations," says Chris Chocola, a former Republican member of Congress from Indiana and corporate chief executive who is pushing for more accurate federal accounting.

Modern accounting requires that corporations, state governments and local governments count expenses immediately when a transaction occurs, even if the payment will be made later.

The federal government does not follow the rule, so promises for Social Security and Medicare don't show up when the government reports its financial condition.

Sorry, but that's not right.

From day one of Kumogakure School, I have linked to reports such as the Financial Report of the United States 2006, which gives government figures in Accrual (standard business) vs. Cash (what the government usually uses) Accounting.

Remember: Kumogakure always told you so, long before the Lamestream media got on the case. As a matter of fact, the government has been issuing these Financial Reports for years, and the media hasn't given them the time of day.

Ah well, at least it made the front page... so maybe we're NOT doomed.

The article continues:

Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in
liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for
every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined...

Now, dear reader, combine all of this bad news with the other posts on this subject I have done... and recognize that we have serious problems coming our way.

One good thing about all this... government subsidized feminism is coming to an end, and soon, as America will be too broke to fund the feminist agenda. Heck, maybe we will see compulsory marriage laws just like the Caesars tried in Rome as a last ditch effort to save this Republic...

But, once again, it will be too little, too late.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and I for one can't wait to see the femmes get the comeuppance they so richly deserve.

Kumo out.

The United States of Obesity!

Greetings Dear Readers!!

I maintain that feminism is a symptom of a larger sickness.

However, this evil philosophy isn't the only indicator of an unwell society. I came across the following report entitled, "F as in Fat", and I would urge you to take a look at it when you have time.

Some of the text from the report reads:

Nearly two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese.1

Adult obesity rates have grown from 15 percent in 1980 to 32 percent

With two thirds of the populace certified as lard-asses, our country is headed for a very sickly and over-medicated future.

Americans are so large, according to the Scotsman, that even our fighting ability is beginning to be called into question:

AN EPIDEMIC of obesity could have serious consequences for America's economy and its ability to defend itself, according to a leading politician.

Self-confessed "recovering foodaholic" Mike Huckabee, a Republican Party presidential candidate, told a group of governors from the American South that the increasing numbers of people who were either over-weight or obese meant more and more people were having to take time off work for health reasons.

And Mr Huckabee, who lost 110lb - nearly 8st - several years ago when he was governor of Arkansas, said he was concerned by reports that nearly two-thirds of American military personnel were overweight.

He questioned whether the nation's increasingly obese population would be able to defend itself "if we don't have enough people who are healthy enough to show up and pick up a backpack?"

The Southern Governors' Association convention heard that obesity was creating the first generation of Americans who might not live as long as their parents. Dr William Rowley, who was a vascular surgeon for 30 years and now works at the Institute for Alternative Futures, said 61 per cent of US active-duty military personnel are overweight.

However, it looks like we aren't alone in this regard, as the Germans seem to be having the same battle of the bulge. It's becoming apparent that we in the West absolutely enjoy the sin of GLUTTONY, and more and more of us are going to pay the price in the end.

It turns out that our fighting men aren't the only ones packing on the poundage...






(A famous American Woman that shall remain nameless)





(This woman is an Italian TV personality.)




(Yeah you like that don't ya fellas??)



... because, as any man on the street can tell you, the average American woman is becoming quite the little porker!

According to the American Obesity Association:

The prevalence of overweight is higher for men (67 percent) than women (62 percent).

The prevalence of obesity is higher for women (34 percent) than men (27.7 percent) as is severe obesity; women (6.3 percent) and men (3.1 percent).

Some would argue that a "woman's touch" would go a long way to resolving the obesity problem. Unfortunately, it would seem that women, who have, by judicial fiat and Congressional act, the final say in all aspects of their personal and professional lives, even to the exclusion of the rights and interests of Men and children [aa][bb], have failed miserably to take control of their health, and they have failed especially in their most sacred and basic duty:

The care and feeding of their children [1][2].

As a matter of fact, some studies have given today's career obsessed, non parenting supermom a "F for Failure [A]":

Study blames working moms for obese kids

August 30, 2007 Edition 1

Middle class mothers who work long hours increase the risk of their offspring being overweight or obese, according to a study.

New research turns perceived wisdom on its head with the claim that higher-paid working mothers bear much of the responsibility for Britain's ticking obesity time bomb, and not the poorer working class families who are usually blamed.

The risk of childhood obesity soars in direct correlation with family income.

Children in higher income families are more likely to be overweight or obese than youngsters from families with the lowest incomes. And in higher income households, the longer a mother worked each week, the greater the risk of the child being overweight.

"Long hours of maternal employment, rather than lack of money, may impede young children's access to healthy foods and physical activity," say the researchers from the Institute of Child Health at University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital, writing in the International Journal of Obesity this month.

Compounding the misery for working mothers, the study found that children's weight problems got worse if mothers relied on a nanny to hold the fort. Children in childcare are 24% more likely to be overweight or obese than children cared for by their mother or her partner...

My my. Yet another reason why the smart man doesn't marry feminist career women!

On top of this, an ever-expanding amount out anti-depressant use makes it pretty clear that the "fairer sex" is suffering horribly from our societal malaise, which has been brought about by the feminist hate movement they so willingly embraced.

Nope, it doesn't look like more feminism, more single mothers, or more women's ways of knowing is going to stop our prodigious waistlines from increasing still further.

Talk about the irony.

I should now move to the main point of this incredibly boring sermon.

The man that has embarked on the MGTOW journey owes it to himself and those under his care to make sure his body, mind, and spirit are in good health, and are properly balanced, no matter how insane the mainstream becomes.

The woman that a MGTOW man chooses to share his tent must either...

1) Get with the program

2) Or get the hell out of the way!

As the Wise Machiavelli tells us, a true Prince must:

"...never let his thoughts stray from military exercises, which he must pursue more vigorously in peace than in war. These exercises can be both physical and mental. As for the first, besides keeping his men well organized and trained, he must always be out hunting, so accustoming his body to hardships...

...As for intellectual training, the prince must read history, studying the actions of eminent men to see how they conducted themselves during war and to discover the reasons for their victories or their defeats, so that he can avoid the latter and can do what eminent men have done before him (The Prince, pp. 48-49)..."

Let these words sink in, and understand how they can apply to our present day situation. Martial Arts, weightlifting, swimming, hiking, mountain climbing... whatever it is that you need to do, get out there and do it!

More importantly, read the classics, study the great men of times past and present, and question, question, question all that you see and hear. The time of moving through life on Autopilot is over.

So then, like feminism, obesity is but a symptom of a larger sickness, as most everyone can see. So what then, is the root cause?

Feminism, and all the powers behind it being an obvious answer, I would like to propose that another key cause of our cultural sickness stems, in large part, from a critical absence of Thumos, that spirit of manliness that comes from, and gives rise to the notions of honor, competition, conquest, risk-taking, justice, and a never-say-die attitude.

A manly spirit of justice can help to reverse the epidemic spread of feminism; ditto to our present political, religious, and social decay.

People would take better care of themselves, and would be shamed to be as willfully corpulent as they are now. Women, freed from the irrational and insane philosophy of feminism, would be able to fulfill their roles as custodians of hearth, home, and of course, the dinner table. While not every woman seeks this role, many of them do. Without the "crabs in a bucket" mentality of feminism seeking to drag them into a bottomless pit of misery, victimization, and self-hatred, many women would be able to regain their equilibrium, exercise their freedom of choice, and resume their traditional duties without molestation or condemnation. Only men and women with the spirit of Manliness can hope to challenge, stand their ground, and conquer the evils that beset us as a people.

Furthermore, a culture that has athleticism, martial values, vigor, and the self discipline to insist on something homecooked that is healthful, rather than visiting the drive through of a McDonalds every night are those that have a goodly level of Thumos flowing through its institutional veins.

Barbarians are pounding at our gates, and we as a society fret about what to do about it. All the while, poor and vilified manliness sits in the corner, waiting for the proper time to make a comeback.

I can only hope that Coach will put Thumos back into the game before we run out of time!!

So in conclusion:

Right, wrong, or indifferent, these are crazy and insane times in which we live, and it takes time for the universe to sort things out and re-establish balance.

In the meantime, I would humbly encourage my fellow men who are reading this, to cultivate a sense of Thumos in your own lives. And if other people around you wish to continue on their journey to illness and disease, so be it.

Make it so that a sense of manliness and justice, developed and honed by intense physical, mental, and spiritual training, dwells deep inside your heart. And then, keep that flame burning brightly, no matter how dark and hollow the souls of others may become.

Nothing is more Manly than that.

Seize the day!

Kumo.

Senate Passes Bailout... Togakure Pissed!

From Bloomberg:

Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate tonight approved a $700 billion financial-rescue plan that funds the biggest government intervention in the markets since the Great Depression. The package now goes to the House of Representatives, which rejected an earlier version of the measure.

The bill, a bipartisan effort to restore confidence in the nation's banking system, passed 74-25 with 40 Democrats, 33 Republicans and independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut voting for it. The two presidential nominees, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain, returned from the campaign trail to cast votes for the plan...

Well, that does it.

Retract what I said earlier... I will be voting a straight third party ticket this time around.

Even if John McCain might be better for the cause of Men's Rights, his support of this criminal plan shows me that he is unfit for the office of President of the United States.

It's too bad. America has completely prostituted herself in order to pay her past due credit card bills.

While the bill still has to go to the House of Representatives for consideration before it becomes law, I'm afraid that the legislation will indeed pass.

Not that it will improve things, of course.

This bailout will be the first of many before The End.

God help us all.

Toku.

Ron Paul hits 5 million!

According to Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an anti-war libertarian who has clashed with his rivals over Iraq, raised more than $5 million for his White House bid in the last three months.

Paul's campaign said the nine-term Texas congressman raised nearly $5.1 million in the quarter ending September 30, and had $5.3 million in the bank for the final push to the first nominating votes in January.

The performance by Paul, an obstetrician-gynecologist from the Houston area, more than doubled the $2.3 million he raised in the second quarter and reinforced the grass-roots strength of his large online fan base.

To all of my readers, and especially to the movers and shakers in the MRA and Father's Rights movements:

Mr. Rudov, Mr. Usher, Mr. Baskerville, the members and executives at MediaRadar, Webmasters of American Women Suck, The Honor Network, Stand Your Ground, Don't Get Married, Tired Black Man, Mr. Leykis, all of my fellow bloggers, Mr. Mirror of the Soul, Mr. Angry Harry, Mr. Makow of Save the Males, and all of the esteemed writers and readers ACROSS THE WORLD that I didn't mention:

I beg of you... PLEASE GIVE RON PAUL SOME LOVE. Cover this man like your life depends on it. He is the candidate that can help turn things around, and we MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE to defeat the feminist political machine.

For those of you who live outside of the United States; realize that if feminism is quashed here, then the power of the United Nations feminists to screw things up in your country will be seriously diminished.

This is our chance!

Please do anything and everything you can to support him. Donate, blog, write, speak, advocate, and organize.

Keep abreast of events at DailyPaul.com, or the official site, www.ronpaul2008.com.

We have a fighting chance, and we MUST seize the day!!

Kumogakure.

VICTORY!!!

The Big Bailout plan has been defeated.


IN YOUR FACE BANKSTERS!! HAHA!

** Ahem **

According to the Wall Street Journal:

WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives delivered a stunning defeat to legislation designed to rescue the nation's troubled financial system, sweeping aside a call from President Bush to "send a strong signal" of confidence to markets at home and abroad.

House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R., Mo.) spoke to reporters after the House voted to defeat the financial bailout package.

The 228-205 vote Monday exposed deep unease among rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties with what would be an unprecedented intervention in the private sector. The vote came as turmoil in financial markets widened, prompting the Federal Reserve to inject new capital into credit markets and forcing the government-arranged sale of Wachovia Corp. to Citigroup.

Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 777.68 points, its biggest one-day drop in history. It ended down 7% at 10365.45, down 9.3% since crisis erupted a few weeks ago on Wall Street following the meltdown of Lehman Brothers Holdings. All 30 of the blue-chip indicator's components fell Monday.

The Bush-backed package now faces an uncertain future, though party leaders on both sides of the aisle are sure to consider revising the initiative, which Mr. Bush said Monday is needed to "keep the crisis in our financial system from spreading throughout our economy."

After the vote, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) said there would be an effort to bring back another bill, with further changes. "We've got to find a true middle ground," he said. "We need everybody to calm down and relax and get back to work."

There's a lot to say here, and I will leave the bulk of the commenting to the professionals.

But here's my One Dolla and Fitty cent...


A) It's official... the U.S. Stock Market has crashed. And that's not a bad thing... if you were prepared for it.

Me myself, I've been out of the broad stock market indexes since January 01. After taking profits on my oil and precious metals positions in late summer '08, I've been cruising along in cash, money market accounts, and physical precious metals ever since.

(If you haven't done so already, please visit a qualified financial adviser right now. And please don't take my personal investing methods as gospel either. See an adviser... today!)

I don't see today's market action as negative, simply because I don't believe that the Stock Market is a reliable indicator of the true economic condition of the country. Indeed, I believe that the Dow Jones and other indexes have a long way to fall before it accurately prices in a simple fact of American life... the consumers that make up 70% of the U.S. economy are broke as a muthafukin' joke!

Because of the house of cards that our economy is based on [1][2][3][4], the Stock Market is a dangerous game that is controlled by a select few power players, and has turned violently on many a banker, hedge fund manager, and individual investor, to their financial destruction.

When the stock market goes up, most people think that means that prosperity is coming their way. I strongly disagree, at the moment. If and when the vast majority of companies listed on American stock exchanges are solid companies, with solid earnings, a solid customer base, strong balance sheets, producing real goods with real value, and possess a sustainable competitive advantage over their competitors in global markets, then I will change my view.

But so long as our economy is based on Money as Debt, Credit Bubbles, and piss poor accounting methods, I will remain skeptical that the fortunes of the Average Joe are based upon the ups and downs Wall Street.

When the country as whole recognizes that economic prosperity begins on Main Street, and trickles up to the financial institutions and the global marketplace, then we will focus our efforts on producing goods and services that provide unmatched value on the world stage.

Once we as a people do the things that contribute to genuine wealth, peace, and prosperity, such as avoiding the costs and consequences of family destruction, promoting institutions that contribute to increased human wealth and well-being such as marriage, religion, and family instead of discouraging them, and developing human and other capital, by means of quality education, affordable health care, a genuine free market economy, and a robust system of Free Enterprise (as opposed to our current fascist business model), and govern according to the principles of the Rule of Law and Natural Rights, administered under a Constitutional Republican framework, then this nation will once again be the richest, the wealthiest, and the happiest nation to ever exist on God's green earth.

Only when Finance and Banking returns to its proper place as a SUPPORT function, instead of a OPERATING function (which will happen once the Debt Bubble finishes its ongoing implosion) will there be any hope of recovery, and NOT BEFORE.

B) This Market Crash might have more to it than meets the eye.


This is only speculation on my part until the data proves otherwise. But I suspect that the record free-fall of the market was, in part, driven by:

1) Lack of Plunge Protection Team support, deliberately withheld in order to put pressure on members of Congress to support future bailout efforts, which are forthcoming.

Speaking of Congressmen, please be sure to go here to see how your Representative voted, and listen to the words of Dr. Ron Paul as he breaks it all down.







Please note that the Fed pumped billions of dollars into the marketplace in spite of today's Congressional defeat. Wouldn't you agree that its time to End the Fed??

If you are of the same mind as me, please contact your elected officials and urge them to support Dr. Paul's abolish-the-Fed bill located here. There will be no true economic recovery, nor will there be a Constitutional Republic unless three things happen:


Gold (or silver) backed currency issued and managed by the United States Congress or the Treasury, abolishment of the individual Federal Income Tax, and the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act.



2) Lack of stock market buying on the part of short sellers.

Remember that short selling has been banned, and since there were no shorts buying stocks to participate in today's bloodbath, the markets were able to plunge to new lows. Methinks that some of today's losses would have been mitigated by active short-sellers scrambling about to purchase stocks to short.

Now, I could be dead wrong. But I will be looking for evidence to support my conjecture... as it makes a whole lotta sense.


C) This is a temporary victory.

The architects of the Fascist business model don't know how to take NO for an answer. I suspect that the bailout bill will be resurrected in the coming days. And only time will tell if the upcoming economic chaos (some of it genuine, some of it fabricated) will be enough to scare the Sheeple into supporting this tragically flawed legislation.


D) Peak U.S. influence has arrived.


According to Mish Shedlock:

...Peak US Influence

The US can no longer tell the world what to do and when. The sooner Congress, the next president, and even US citizens figure this out, the better off we will be. We need to start living within our means. Sadly, neither McCain nor Obama has figured this out as evidenced but the pathetic debate on economic issues...

Check out the entire piece. It's worth the read.

The moral of the story is that the American Empire is on the wane... and along with it, the fortunes of Political Feminism.

As I've posted previously, cheap money and credit are the root of all evil, and more specifically, the enablers of Tyrannical government and Tyrannical Political Feminism.

Expect both to shrink into insignificance, over the course of time.


E) What's really going on??

That's the question of the hour isn't it? And only one branch of economics has the answers.
