The Lost Art of Discipline Part VI.

Japanese women lead the way.



Greetings!

Before we talk about why good girls like bad boys, I'd like to share this intriguing Bloomberg article with you, my Valued Reader:

Japanese Women Hunt for Husbands as Refuge From Deepening Slump

March 18 (Bloomberg) -- When Yumiko Iwate’s pay was cut last year, she and her female colleagues all agreed there was only one thing to do: find a husband.

“I want to get married soon, hopefully by the end of this year,” said Iwate, a 36-year-old employee at a mail-order retailer in Tokyo. “The recession made me realize I’m not going to make as much money as I expected, and I’d be more stable financially if I had double income to fall back on.”

Women the Japanese call “marriage-hunters” are looking to tie the knot as companies from Toyota Motor Corp. to Sony Corp. fire thousands of workers and the nation heads for its biggest annual economic contraction since 1945. Marriages surged to a five-year high of 731,000 in 2008 as wages stagnated and the unemployment rate rose for the first time in six years.

“Financial concerns are a major reason for the increase in marriage-hunting,” said Toshihiro Nagahama, chief economist at Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute in Tokyo. “Women are motivated more than ever to find a financially sound partner.”

The trend marks a reversal for women who put careers over families after Japan implemented equal labor rights 23 years ago. The number of marriages in the following decade slid 4.5 percent to an annual average of 746,000 compared with the decade before. Despite equal rights, women still make 43 percent less than men, giving them more reason to seek a partner during recessions.

‘As Good as Men’

“I know women before my generation worked so hard and pursued their careers so they could prove they’re just as good as men,” said Reiko Kubo, 25, who bought a good-luck charm at Tokyo Daijingu shrine. “They didn’t have to depend on men and that’s cool, but it’s not the path I want to follow.”

Tokyo Daijingu has come to be known as the marriage-hunters’ shrine, and the number of visitors has risen about 20 percent in the past year, said priest Yoshiyuki Karamatsu. For 5,000 yen, he will conduct a ritual to ward off bad spirits; the purification ceremony includes drinking sacred sake.

Recessions have encouraged the Japanese to wed before. Marriages rose when an asset-price bubble burst in the late 1980s and again after the technology crash in 2001. Analysts say the trend is gaining traction because the current slump is expected to spur record-high unemployment.

Economists at Dai-Ichi Life Research and JPMorgan Chase & Co. expect the jobless rate this year to surpass the postwar peak of 5.5 percent in 2003. Unemployment in January was 4.1 percent. Wages have slumped for three months, and the economy contracted an annualized 12.1 percent last quarter, the biggest drop since 1974.

Civil Weddings

Marriages are also increasing in other countries as recessions spread around the world. The number of civil weddings in London’s Westminster Register Office, the city’s most popular, rose 8.5 percent to 1,684 between April 2008 and February 2009 compared with a year earlier, according to Alison Cathcart, the superintendent registrar. “We certainly feel a lot busier,” she said.

Japan’s husband hunters are pursuing relationships the way they might search for jobs: They interview at agencies -- dating agencies, in this case. They attend networking parties or just let friends know they are ready for commitment.

Iwate started her quest in December by writing New Year’s cards to 170 acquaintances from junior high school classmates to fellow dancers at salsa lessons, asking for help finding an eligible bachelor. Her five co-workers are in on the hunt, introducing each other to potential partners and putting sticky notes on the most useful pages of the “Complete Guide to Marriage Hunting” from “an an” magazine, a weekly publication for women in their 20s and 30s.

‘Looks Shouldn’t Matter’

The issue included articles telling readers that, while it’s acceptable to choose a husband by occupation, “looks shouldn’t matter because they’re not essential to leading a married life. You need to consider men you normally wouldn’t date.”

It listed character traits by job type: “Traders tend to be adventurous and forward-looking; pharmacists conservative and stable; sushi chefs patient and creative.”

It also cautioned against playing hard to get: Being coy “is strictly forbidden; men want to seriously date women who act natural.”

Business is booming at Green, a marriage-hunting bar in Tokyo’s nightlife district of Roppongi. Men pay 11,340 yen ($115) per visit to have waiters set them up with women, who get in free. The bar is booked solid on weekends, and membership is up 26 percent this year, according to owner Yuta Honda.

Dating Agencies

Interest in O-Net, Japan’s largest dating agency, is also rising. The number of people requesting applications jumped 10 percent in the past year, according to spokesman Toshiaki Kato. Shares of Watabe Wedding Corp., a wedding-planning agency, are up 55 percent since September, while the broader Topix index has slumped 30 percent.

Marriage hunting has even attracted the attention of policy makers, who have been trying for years to increase Japan’s birthrate. Women give birth to only 1.34 children on average in their lifetimes, government data for 2007 show, well below the 2.07 required for a stable population.

A government panel charged with increasing the population met last month and invited academics to discuss the trend. Until now, efforts were focused on people with children, said Yuko Obuchi, 35, the minister in charge of the project, who is expecting her second child in September. “Marriage hunting underscores the importance of addressing unmarried people as well.”

Meanwhile, Natsuko Ono, 25, is sparing no expense to find a man. She said she’s spent 370,000 yen so far, mostly for a professional portrait and registration at a matchmaking agency.

“It sounds like a lot of money, but if you consider that it’s a way to find a husband, it’s a reasonable investment,” she said while scoping men at Green.

Ladies and gents, this article is interesting for a number of reasons.

1) Once again, I am awed at the pragmatism of the Japanese in general, and of Japanese women in particular. Ladies from the Jp are light years ahead of their Western sisters, as usual. Instead of waiting for Depression era unemployment levels to take action, they are doing what they gotta do to secure their futures, as well as advance the interests of their men and the Japanese nation in the process.




(Adam Smith)



Adam Smith, the father of Modern Economics, wrote that "The Invisible Hand", driven by the selfish actions of millions of market participants, would lead to society being better off in the long run.

And, in Japan, the Free Marriage Marketplace is doing its job as Marriage Hunters prepare themselves for the hard economic times to come. They have not structured their society around feminist ideals to the extent that America and other Western cultures have done. And because of this fact, they will be flexible enough to survive whatever events may come, foreign imports such as feminism and "women-first" ideologies be damned.


2) American women had better take heed and emulate their Asian sisters. Unfortunately for them, the Western Marriage Market has been destroyed by the influence of Political Feminism, a massive regime of immoral and unjust government regulations, widespread cultural ignorance [1][2], and a fiat financed credit bubble of epic proportions.

Western women, encumbered by the psychobabble of feminism, Western governments, encumbered by the idiocy of feminist public policy, and Western men, brainwashed by feminism, caustic misandry, and terrified of the cultural and legal dangers of marriage, are not in a position to make the familial changes that the Japanese are making to deal with the coming global downturn.

In order for us to do what the Japanese are doing, that is, pool incomes, increase economies of scale, realize efficiencies from the division of labor that marriage tends to produce, and so forth, we would have to repeal a massive number of laws, overturn a mind numbing amount of court precedent, move heaven and earth to establish a more man and marriage friendly public policy, and reverse 40+ years of feminist mind control.

Needless to say, America and other Matriarchal nations will not and cannot change until we are DEEP into the calamity. By that time, Political Feminism, and all of its attendants and hangers on, will collapse under their own bulk. As for Western women, they will find themselves destitute and desperate as Big Daddy Government becomes increasingly unwilling to support them, by direct and indirect means, economically and politically as it has done during the fiat financed good times.

When I say that fiat financing is the root of all immorality, I'm not kidding. The truth of this assertion will become apparent to all as the American credit bubble bursts, and all of the cultural excesses that depend on such financing for sustainability will literally die on the vine. Feminism will share in this fate, as it produces economic, political, and social outcomes that will be too costly for the nation to subsidize any further.

3) Those who are doubtful that our present economic difficulties will lead to significant changes to our personal lives should pick up Michael Panzer's book When Giants Fall [3][4].

I would urge you to pick this up and take heed to the advice given therein. The book contains page after chilling page of reasons why Political Feminism, as well as many other uneconomical practices our society is engaged in, are simply doomed.

In a perfect world, the enlightened would take action to head off the many difficulties our nation faces. Unfortunately, only a small minority will know what is really going on, and will prepare accordingly. The vast majority, which includes the 85% of women whose minds have been thoroughly corrupted by feminism, are going to find themselves in a world of suffering. And worse yet, many of these, by their own thoughts, words, and deeds, will find themselves without a strong shoulder to cry on. They alone will reap the bitter harvest to come.



Why Good Girls like Bad Boys.


Picking up where we left off, we shall begin our analysis as to why the typical feminine woman chooses the Bad Boy over the Nice Guy.

Unless you have been living in a cave in Siberia, you have probably heard about the Rihanna & Chris Brown controversy.

The Smoking Gun has part of the official police report here, and internet site Ace Show Biz tells us that:

On Thursday, March 5, the same day Chris Brown appeared before Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner for a hearing in his battery case that involves Rihanna, TMZ made public a copy of the LAPD detectives' legal documents that give detail description on the assault he allegedly did to the "Umbrella" hit maker during their major argument on February 8. According to a search warrant in the case, text message from another woman that Rihanna found on Chris' phone was the trigger of the couple's blow-up.

It is claimed in the search warrants that Chris and Rihanna were driving in his rented Lamborghini when she read him a three-page text message from an unidentified woman. An argument reportedly was quick to ensue, during when Chris tried to force Rihanna out of the vehicle, but failed because she was wearing a seat belt.

Chris then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window and struck her several times when she turned to face him as he continued to drive. The alleged assault resulted in Rihanna's blood splattering on the interior of the car and her dress. "I'm going to beat the s--- out of you when we get home. You wait and see!" Chris reportedly threatened Rihanna...

The alleged acts of violence Mr. Brown is accused of committing, if true and in response to angry words only, are illegal, immoral, and unreasonable. If he did inflict the pain and suffering on his girlfriend that he is accused of, then he should be charged, tried by a jury of his peers, given all of the Constitutional rights defendants are entitled to in criminal cases, and if convicted, he should receive the appropriate amount of jail time based on the totality of the circumstances.

It is my personal opinion that since Chris Brown and Rihanna were only dating, and not married, neither person should be in the business of trying to control the other. Boyfriend/girlfriend relationships (just as the words boyfriend and girlfriend imply), should be casual associations between two consenting adults. If there are problems in the pairing that could potentially lead to violence, then its better for all parties involved to walk away from the relationship and move on with their lives.

No girlfriend is worth going to jail over. If she is acting bad, toss her to tha muthafuckin' curb and start over.

In the whirlwind and firestorm of media coverage concerning this incident, one very important detail has been under reported.

Rihanna might have started the conflict, and may have landed the first blow. If this is true, then circumstances change significantly.

(I wonder if Oprah and Tyra mentioned this obscure report?)

According to Mirror.co.uk:

Rihanna 'hit Chris Brown with her shoes' before his alleged assault, it's claimed

Chris Brown attacked Rihanna after she hit him with her shoes, it was claimed last night.

Welford Hart - who lives with Brown's mother - told an American newspaper that the singer was allegedly provoked by the Umbrella star.

Mr Hart told the New York Post: "When you take off your shoes and beat someone with high heels, that's going to hurt. He reacted and tried to get her to stop hitting him, but she kept screaming."

Brown, 19, has been charged with assault and making criminal threats after an attack on his 21-year-old girlfriend last month.

Details revealed in court alleged that the pair got into a fight after Rihanna found a text message from another woman. Brown allegedly then banged her head against the passenger window and repeatedly hit her in the face.

(I bet these wouldn't hurt at all...)


Let's assume for a moment that this report is true, as all of the details of intimate partner violence tend not to come to light, especially if it makes the woman look bad. And we should always remember that there are at least two sides to every story.

If the above story is true, and a grown woman did indeed beat Chris Brown in the face with Stiletto shoes, in close quarters with no easy means of escape, would not Rihanna also share part of the blame for the injuries she sustained? Would Mr. Brown not be justified in using an appropriate degree of force to stop the attack?

Would the knowledge that Rihanna was partly at fault, that she initiated the violent encounter that led to her injuries and her beloved's arrest not influence her decision to take her "Bad Boy" lover back? Would the fact that Mr. Brown defended himself against her vicious assault lead the singer to believe that attacking a grown man with pointed high heels is not an appropriate thing to do?

Would it be reasonable to assume that, based on everything that happened to her, Rihanna would think twice about attacking a grown man in a similar manner in the future?

In my personal opinion, I don't think that punching a woman repeatedly in the face or slamming her head into a dashboard is the appropriate way to deal with such an assault. However, in the heat of combat, your objective is to stop the assault before you sustain serious and permanent injury. Rihanna is in good physical condition, and could easily generate enough power, in her fury, to put an eye out, rupture an eardrum, or pierce the soft skin of the throat or face.

If I were a person who had little training or ability to stop such an attack without injuring the aggressor, I would do whatever I had to do to get her to stop, even if such counteroffensive actions would be very distasteful to society at large.

Perhaps both parities were simply out of control and took their respective actions without thinking about the consequences. While we may never know all of the details, we should slow down and analyze the situation, find out what mistakes were made, and use this incident as a teaching lesson on how not to act towards other people.

The complete facts surrounding this incident are murky. However, one thing is crystal clear: This young couple did not have the skills, training, and knowledge to properly resolve their relationship conflicts, and the lack of such skills can easily lead to violent outbursts, as we discussed previously. These two individuals acted and reacted in such a manner that reputations, bodies, and careers have been greatly damaged. We also know that Rihanna went back to her man, beatings and all. And while the relationship will probably not survive the intense public scrutiny it is now undergoing, the fact remains that she forgave Chris Brown for what he did to her that night.

The question is why? Why do so many women seek out that Thug lovin?

This is the main question... and one that we will deal with in future posts. While I have already touched on why women might seek out abusive, destructive, and life threatening relationships here; I want to focus on why most women seek out bad boys in the context of "normal" relationships, with all of their ups and downs.

What qualities make such men attractive to the typical woman? Why do nice guys lose out to "thugs" so often?

Ponder that, and I'll see you next week,

Gyokko aka "Pretty Boy Gyo."

I'm Back.

Welcome to Jeweled Tiger School.

Just as molecules below and the planets above constantly change with the times and the seasons, so does the title and the focus of this blog.

Gyokko (Gyo for short) is the pseudonym I will be using this year, and the Tiger will be my symbol.

As we read on Wiki:

The tiger replaces the lion as King of the Beasts in cultures of eastern Asia,^[97] representing royalty, fearlessness and wrath.^[98] Its forehead has a marking which resembles the Chinese character 王, which means "king"; consequently, many cartoon depictions of tigers in China and Korea are drawn with 王 on their forehead.^{[citation needed]}

Strength and fearlessness are going to be sorely needed this year. Economic calamity has gripped the entire developed world, and those with the foresight to see beyond blatant government/banker propaganda claim that we are already in Depression [1][2].

Meanwhile, those who know are frantically accumulating gold and silver;, the true currencies of the ages. China grumbles and the Fed begins its hyperinflationary campaign.

Many things have changed in my life, personally and professionally. Consequently, I hope to bring a more nuanced approach to my blogging.

I am officially a Father's Rights Advocate, and our newborn son has brought much joy to my House. Now I can understand the full heartlessness and brutality of our Matriarchal system. Now I can fully comprehend why Men are willing to go through hell and high water to challenge the awesome might of the fiat financed feminist machine.

Don't misunderstand though: Men's Rights and Fathers Rights are two aspects of One Whole. Trying to separate one group from the other is nothing more than a divide and conquer tactic that saps our strength and blunts our effectiveness. We should be supporting each other regardless of our parental status, as men everywhere hold on for dear life against the last gasps of the Political Feminist Juggernaut.

And make no mistake: the feminists have powerful friends in Washington D.C. these days. N.O.W. and their cohorts are getting a crap-ton of political payback for supporting the present Administration and Congressional majority in their rise to power [3][4][5] .

While I still stick with my thesis that feminism will soon collapse (along with our debt based economic system), I also believe that Men need to do the smart thing and lay low, stay single, stay childless, and get the hell out of the way of the rabid, insane 1000 pound Matriarchal Gorilla that is intent on rending hapless males to shreds before it expires from exhaustion, mad cow disease, and complete irrelevance.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I must inform my readers that I have deleted some posts of a highly political nature (for the moment). I have a very sensitive political position. More importantly, I work for a great group of people whom have been very good to me and obviously have no idea about my Men's Rights Activities.

My fear is that unfriendly individuals could use some of my highly inflammatory political postings to embarrass my superiors. This, for me, is a less than desirable outcome, and I have a positive duty to protect my benefactors from such an ugly scenario so long as I remain in their employ.

I am a political independent with strong free enterprise, libertarian leanings. I am a member of neither major political party, and I intend to remain independent. Going forward, however, I will not single out specific politicians or parties for criticism. When I want to criticize unfair, oppressive, and idiotic government policies, I will simply state, "the Government..." and leave it at that.

Feminism, and the harpies that promote it, on the other hand, are fair game.

While my reluctance to target specific individuals might be a little hard to understand for some, please understand that I have very good reasons for this change in policy, and at some point in the future, I will not be encumbered with the obligations I carry now.

With all that aside...

It's time to take out the feminist trash, and combat the ever increasing tide of Matriarchal propaganda.

Gyokko.

The Lost Art of Discipline Part V.

(Image Courtesy of the Spanking Blog, a site for 18 year olds and over only.)


Greetings! It's been a while since my last post. Sorry about the delay: The Kidd has pressing real life obligations that I have to attend to.

Also, please note that at the end of this series of posts, I am going to take a three week hiatus. I have begun research for my book/documentary project, and I want to focus on that for a few weeks to really get things moving.

Be advised that this is an extremely long post. I would recommend that you read a little bit at a time, walk away from it, and come back. I won't be posting again until next Sunday, so feel free to relax and take your time.

Without further ado, let's get to the heart of the matter!



Two Central Themes.


Before we continue, let's briefly revisit The Lost Art of Discipline Part IV:

... Does the typical woman really want a man who complies with the letter and the spirit of these laws? If men strictly adhere to these rules and guide their conduct accordingly, is this what society really needs and wants in order to survive and thrive? Will this code of conduct contribute to the ultimate stability of long term relationships?

If we accept that the letter of the Domestic Violence law is the lowest level of human development, does the public at large want the "virtues" that these laws help to shape?

My answer to this question is: No, the typical woman would never tolerate the existence of these laws for any period of time if the average couple on the street followed the law to the letter...

... Bitch

(1) Word used to describe the act of whining excessively.

(2) Person who rides specifically in the middle of a front-seatting only car meant for 2 passengers or less.

(3) Modern-day servant; A person who performs tasks for another, usually degrading in status.

(4) Term used to exclaim hardship.

(1) "Stop bitching Todd!"
(2) "Can I ride bitch?"
(3) "Bring my friend and I some vodka bitch"
(4) *Peron tells story to other cellmate, depicting how they came to be there, cellmate says* "Ain't that a Bitch!"

bitch

• An exceedingly whipped guy who does/wears/thinks/says whatever his girlfriend tells him to.

The next few posts are going to make two key arguments:

1) While women (and men) want and deserve to be protected from unexpected, unprovoked, and traumatic attacks against their person, and that they expect laws such as those that prohibit Assault, Battery, Rape, and Murder, to be on the books to protect them from such violent crime; the typical woman, in real life, do not want the unintended social consequences that unconstitutional, deceitfully conceived, poorly written and unjustly enforced Domestic Violence laws have created.

The difference between laws prohibiting Assault, Battery, and Murder and the bulk of Domestic Violence law is varied and profound.

Traditional criminal law involves rules, procedures and institutions designed to provide maximum protection for the Defendant, and requires the Prosecutor to substantially prove his case.

Probable cause, various forms of evidence, constitutional safeguards, rules of evidence and court, the presumption of innocence, burdens of proof, the Jury system... all of these things can typically be found in criminal proceedings. Constitutional rights are (more or less) respected and upheld during trials for Assault, Rape, and other traditional criminal offenses.

Domestic Violence laws, on the other hand, may or may not offer basic constitutional protections. It has been conclusively proven that men are discriminated against when it comes to Restraining Order proceedings. Loss of employment, property, and liberty have been known to occur on accusations alone. And even if the jurisdiction where your DV case is being tried considers DV to be a criminal rather than a civil offense (insuring more traditional constitutional protections and a jury trial), the perception that Domestic Violence laws are nothing more than weapons for always-innocent-women to be used against always-in-the-wrong men is a powerful psychological tool that women use to leverage their power over men.

While they may seemingly benefit from this perversion of the justice system in the short run, the vast majority of women who desire a long term, committed relationship with a man in full possession of his manliness lose out in the long term, as we shall see in the next few posts on this topic.

2) Women want a man that will stand up to them if that is required. The typical feminine woman, who possesses a unique mixture of masculine and feminine energies, wants a man who is stronger than she. The strength of the man she wants will depend on her own level of strength.

When women ask the question, Can you handle this?






They aren't asking because they are idly curious... they really want to know if you are able and willing to do so.

If a woman finds herself with a man that isn't able to "handle" her, then, after a time, she will more than likely begin to seek out someone who can, or she will begin prodding your defenses until you either shape up, or ship out. This tendency, which we will discuss at length, is why Good Girls like Bad Boys.



Why women really don't want the climate Domestic Violence hysteria has created.


Aiight then... so it's time for Toku "Pretty Boy" Gakure to start breakin' it down.

Picking up where The Lost Art of Discipline Part IV left off, I'm going to continue with my commentary on the article entitled, About Domestic Violence Against Men:

... A Common Dynamic: How Violence ERUPTS

There are a number of commonly reported interactions in which violence against men erupts. Here is one example that illustrates a common dynamic.

The woman is mildly distressed and upset. The man notices her distress and then worries she may become angry.

The correct thing to do here is to take care of business right off the bat. The wise man, understanding women to have ever changing moods and feelings...




At this stage, all is lost. The man can either move out, or take the beatings. He becomes aware of how weak his legal and moral position really is, and the ailing relationship can only be reversed with great time, energy, and expense that both parties may not have at this point.

And all of this has come to pass because of legally and culturally sanctioned ignorance.

Another family destroyed, and yet more children scarred because of all powerful Feminist Public Policy.


Conclusion for Part V.


I realize that this was a very long post, and I thank you for bearing with me. This is such an important and neglected topic that it deserves a lengthy and thorough treatment.

As we have seen in the hypothetical, yet extremely common scenario above, real life relationships cannot survive if a man adheres to DV laws and cultural expectations to the letter. Following the spirit and the letter of the law leads to anger, frustration, and the ultimate destruction of the pairing.

And most importantly, the destructive agent in this scenario is the woman, who is deeply offended by the various logical measures the man implements in order to comply with Feminist public policy. She does not want a 100% DV compliant man, nor does she appreciate the unintended consequences that flow from such legislation.

What she wants is a real man who is capable and comfortable with himself and his manliness. She wants a man who is able to choose the appropriate actions needed to preserve the harmony and the longevity of the relationship. When this leadership and manliness is lacking, then she will almost unconsciously pick and pick at the man until he either implodes, or gives her what she wants, which includes genuine emotion, the willingness to solve difficulties in the appropriate way, and the ability to dispense discipline when it is needed and appropriate.

Without these qualities, she will do everything in her power to either build her man up, or tear him down and find another man who is stronger.

I know this sounds politically incorrect and incredibly old-skool... but real life experience bears out the truth of my words on a daily basis.

I realize that the hypothetical scenario above is just one example of how real life plays out. So consequently, our investigation will continue in Part VI.

In the next post, we will explore my second point:

2) Women want a man that will stand up to them if that is required. The typical feminine woman, who possesses a unique mixture of masculine and feminine energies, wants a man that is stronger than she. The strength of the man she wants will depend on her own strength.


Until next time,

Toku "Pretty Boy" Gakure.

Matriarchy Kills.

Dear Readers,

I made the claim in a post entitled the Art of Discipline IV:

... If we ignore the well documented fact [4][5][6] that these various [Domestic Violence] statutes are written and enforced in such a way as to violate the Natural Rights of men, there is still the question of the unintended consequences of such legislation, and if this is a policy that the public truly wishes to live by...

And if this line of questioning is outrageous to some, what I am going to say next is going to really be shocking...

Matriarchy Kills.


You might have seen this very tragic article (from CBS):

Cops: Dad Killed Son Over Child Support

Man Accused Of Murdering Toddler To Avoid Paying; Earlier Claimed He Had Been Kidnapped

Comments 105

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3, 2009

(AP) A man who initially told police gunmen kidnapped his 2½-year-old son was arrested Saturday, accused of committing an "extremely hideous" murder because he was ordered to pay child support, Police Superintendent Warren Riley said.

Danny Platt confessed, told police where to find the child's body and has been booked on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Ja' Shawn Powell, police said.

"He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support," which he recently had been ordered to do, Riley said.

Riley said he did not know the amount of child support and would not describe how the boy was killed, saying the coroner would do that after the autopsy was complete. The coroner's spokesman did not immediately return a call.

"The mother is in a safe place," Riley said.

Although he had visiting rights, Platt, 22, of New Orleans, had never visited the boy until he picked him up Friday, Riley said...

A shocking, sad story to say the least.

It goes without saying that no situation or injustice can justify killing one's own flesh and blood, as this man is accused of doing. Even if all the power of the Matriarchy is upon one, the children are innocent and should be protected from the injustice of the Feminist machine as much as humanly possible.

Writer Jarvis DeBerry, adds more detail to this tragic tale:

... I read that Danny Platt claims he had "a whole bunch of reasons" for slitting the throat of his 2-year-old son Ja'Shawn Powell and allowing the toddler to bleed to death.

"I'm sorry about killing my baby," Platt reportedly said on his way to jail Saturday night where he was booked with first-degree murder. "I had a lot of pressure on me." Then, he made his preposterous claim that his reasons for killing his child were numerous.

But apparently Platt's reasons did not include the $4,000 in child support he owed the boy's mother, Daniella Powell. "No, sir," Platt answered when he was asked Saturday night if he killed the boy to avoid paying child support.

She was entitled to it, of course, but Powell says she wasn't deliberately seeking it from her child's father. She had applied for food stamps and for Medicaid for Ja'Shawn, and when she listed the father's information, the state government rightfully sought payment from him. The state was deducting about $100 from each of Platt's weekly paychecks. But we have Platt's word that the forced deduction was not what Ja'Shawn's murder was about.

Even if it wasn't about paying back child support in particular, it's clear that he was trying to get back at the baby's mother in general. There is nothing Ja'Shawn could have done to his father to make Platt kill him.

In fact, to hear Ja'Shawn's mother tell it, the boy adored his mostly absent daddy and, despite Platt's infrequent visits, considered the man his protector and his enforcer. "I'm going to tell my daddy on you," was Ja'Shawn's threat to cousins who had crossed him. Such a threat indicates the faith Ja'Shawn had in Platt, a faith betrayed when his father knifed him to death...

Many who are commenting on this case are dancing around the real issues. Tired mantras such as "use a condom if you don't want to pay child support," "a real man takes responsibility for his child," or, like Mr. DeBerry states repeatedly, a woman deserves, at all times and without merit, child support from a man are uttered over and over again until they lose all meaning and border upon the ridiculous.

The State, after all, is right to seize the fruits of a man's labor (and his loins, in most cases) in order to enforce feminist public policy. A woman is automatically entitled to child support; no matter what the circumstances.

Let's review what public policy is and why it is so important:

... 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!

And how does our "Justice" system enforce feminist public policy?


Let's turn to the unflappable Baskerville for his perspective on the multi-headed Hydra of the divorce, child support, and domestic violence Regime which has wrought terror to countless souls:

... Unilateral divorce (and the feminist inescapably involves government agents forcibly removing legally innocent people from their homes, seizing their property, and separating them from their children. It inherently abrogates not only the inviolability of marriage but the very concept of private life.

By far the most serious consequences involve children, who have become the principal weapons of the divorce machinery. Invariably the first action of a divorce court, once a divorce is filed, is to separate the children from one of their parents, usually the father. Until this happens, no one in the machinery acquires any power or earnings. The first principle and first action of divorce court therefore: Remove the father.

This happens even if the father is innocent of any legal wrongdoing and is simply sitting in his own home minding his own business. The state seizes control of his children with no burden of proof to justify why. The burden of proof (and the financial burden) falls on the father to demonstrate why they should be returned.

Though obfuscated with legal jargon (losing “custody”), what this means is that a legally unimpeachable parent can suddenly be arrested for seeing his own children without government authorization. Following from this, he can be arrested for failure or inability to conform to a variety of additional judicial directives that apply to no one but him. He can be arrested for domestic violence or child abuse, even if no evidence is presented that he has committed any. He can be arrested for not paying child support, even if the amount exceeds his means (and which may amount to most of his salary). He can even be arrested for not paying an attorney or a psychotherapist he has not hired.

The New York Times has reported on how easily “the divorce court leads to a jail cell.” Take the case of Marvin Singer, who was jailed without trial for not paying an attorney he never hired $100,000—only half of what the court claimed he “owes.” In Virginia, one father was ordered to pay two years’ worth of his salary to a lawyer he also did not hire for a divorce he did not request. Once arrested, the father is summarily jailed. There is no formal charge, no jury, and no trial.

Family court judges’ contempt for both fathers and constitutional rights was openly expressed by New Jersey municipal court judge Richard Russell: “Your job is not to become concerned about the constitutional rights of the man that you’re violating,” he told his colleagues at a judges’ training seminar in 1994. “Throw him out on the street. . . . We don’t have to worry about the rights.”

Generated Hysteria

Why do we hear almost nothing about this? Aside from media that sympathize with the divorce revolution, the multi-billion-dollar divorce industry also commands a huge government-funded propaganda machine that has distorted our view of what is happening.

The growth of the divorce machinery during the 1970s and 1980s did not follow but preceded (in other words, it generated) a series of hysterias against parents—especially fathers—so hideous and inflammatory that no one, left or right, dared question them or defend those accused: child abuse and molestation, wife-beating, and nonpayment of “child support.” Each of these hysterias has been propagated largely by feminists, bar associations, and social work bureaucracies, whose federal funding is generously shared with state and local law-enforcement officials.

The parent on the receiving end of such accusations—even in the absence of any formal charge, evidence, or conviction—not only loses his children summarily and often permanently; he also finds himself abandoned by friends and family members, parishioners and pastors, co-workers and employers (and he may well lose his job)—all terrified to be associated with an accused “pedophile,” “batterer,” or “deadbeat dad.”

It is not clear that these nefarious figures are other than bogeymen created by divorce interests, well aware that not only the public generally but conservatives and family advocates in particular are a soft touch when it comes to anything concerning irresponsible behavior or sexual perversion.

Christians are especially vulnerable to credulity about such accusations, because they are disposed to see moral breakdown behind social ills. Moral breakdown certainly does lie behind the divorce epidemic (of which more shortly), but it is far deeper than anything addressed by cheap witch-hunts against government-designated malefactors.

It is also largely credulity and fear that leads Congress by overwhelming majorities to appropriate billions for anti-family programs in response to these hysterias. The massive federal funds devoted to domestic violence, child abuse, and child-support enforcement are little more than what Phyllis Schlafly calls “feminist pork,” taxpayer subsidies on family dissolution that also trample due process protections. Family law may technically be the purview of states, but it is driven by federal policies and funded by a Congress fearful of accusations that it is not doing enough against pedophiles, batterers, and deadbeats.

In fact, each of these figures is largely a hoax, a creation of feminist ideology disseminated at taxpayers’ expense and unchallenged by journalists, academics, civil libertarians, and family advocates who are either unaware of the reality or cowed into silence. Indeed, so diabolical are these hysterias that some family advocates simply accept them as additional evidence of the family crisis.

But while sensational examples can be found of anything, there is simply no evidence that the family and fatherhood crisis is caused primarily or even significantly by fathers abandoning their families, beating their wives, and molesting their children. Irrefutable evidence indicates that it is driven almost entirely by divorce courts forcibly separating parents from their children and using these false accusations as a rationalization...

And just so we can keep things in perspective, I would invite you to watch these videos to see what we do to men who disobey the Matriarchal State.

And guess what... you might be next.

Now it should be noted that I have written much about the destruction of the black American family. It is a dead institution; so ancient and forgotten that it has become the stuff of myth and legend. Tourists flock to museums where artifacts related to it are on ready display, drawing huge crowds...

Sorry, sorry. I'm getting a little carried away here. My sincerest apologies.

Anyway, the feminist Matriarchal regime has done a thorough job in grinding the Male led African-American family into the dust. And, thanks to a host of child support, domestic violence, vice and divorce laws, the chances are extremely high that a black man (or any man for that matter) who attempts to express his fundamental biological imperatives to mate, procreate, and marry will be severely punished for doing so.

Let us count the ways:

"Doing the Right Thing" and getting married + American woman in the Feminized West = Eventual trip to Divorce Court.

Avoiding marriage and the Divorce Courts + having children out of Wedlock in the Feminized West = Eventual trip to Child Support Court.

Failure to keep up with Child Support payments = Poverty and Imprisonment.

Living in close proximity with a woman in the Feminized West = High probability of ending up in Domestic Violence Court (for violations both real and imagined, mostly imagined).

Paying a woman for no-strings-attached sex = High probability of ending up in a criminal court. Poverty and Imprisonment soon follows.

Smoking a little Bud to cope with the stress brought on by marriage, being a father, or living with an American woman = Extremely high risk of Poverty and Imprisonment.

So it really doesn't matter how a black man chooses to relate to the opposite sex in the Matriarchal West... his probability of running afoul of feminist public policy is ridiculously high. And once he does, his honor, his livelihood, his children, and his liberty will most likely be confiscated by the Regime.

So what's the point of trying to form stable relationships and families? Why do the right thing when all of the institutions in society are set up to work against you? Why is society so hypocritical, urging young men to mate, marry, and procreate, and then punishing them when they do?

How is the average man supposed to deal with all of these contradictions? How can a man accept that society has basically set him up for failure?

What would you do if you found your entire world crashing around you? How would you cope if you all of a sudden found out that the entire world is against you? Accusing you of being a wicked, evil, frightening, or malevolent person? Discriminating against you simply because you had the terrible misfortune of being born a man?

What would you do?


WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I'm not saying that anyone is in the right if they commit violent acts, like Mr. Danny Platt is accused of doing. Indeed, if Mr. Platt is guilty of murdering his son because he refused to pay child support, he will find that God will punish him greatly for violating the Universal Law in so heinous a way.

However.

We need more information here. Was he pushed to the edge? Did he act out of desperation? Is there more to this case than meets the eye? Did the mother of the child use the boy as leverage to dominate, humiliate, and control Mr. Platt as so many mothers are apt to do these days?

Did the overwhelming onslaught of the feminist Matriarchal Juggernaut get the best of him? Did overzealous Child Support Enforcement workers decide to loot Mr. Platt's pockets until nothing but lint was left in them?

Maybe we will never know all the answers to these questions. But it is obvious to me that we need to go deeper into this mystery.

Our Matriarchal feminist public policy has very serious, sometimes deadly consequences. Our feminist experiment has unleashed unintended outcomes that have cost our society dearly... financially, morally, spiritually, politically, and socially.

We need to start asking why shocking stories like these are coming to light more and more often. We should be asking ourselves the question:

What would make a man commit such a violent act against his own seed?

A critical and honest search for the answer to this question leads directly to feminist public policy; a harsh and hypocritical system which has stifled all dissent and suspended all attempts at rational examination.

Again and again, I submit that this public policy is hateful, biased, untrue, and useless. Society does not want what feminism has wrought; however most are too ignorant to see that the corruption comes from Fiat Financed feminist public policy. They have been brainwashed into defending a corrupt institution that creates the vast majority of their familial ills.

The herd doesn't see the predators nipping at their heels, until they feel the invisible and irresistible jaws of feminist public policy upon them.

And without any aid or comfort from their fellow sheep, they fall into the abyss.

We cannot excuse violent behavior, such as murder. We must arrest on probable cause, try according to Constitutional principles, and sentence those found guilty by a jury of their peers to the maximum penalty the law allows.

However. We must also examine the causes and motivations of violent acts. If we find, during the course of critical, honest, and open examination, that our institutions and culture create favorable conditions for criminal conduct of this nature, then we must act and purge the evil from our midst.

Failure to remove laws, policies, and institutions that contribute to tragedies such as these place all of society, and all of our children, at risk.

End Feminist Public Policy NOW.

Toku.

Total Ron Paul Pwnage!!

So much ownage... so little time.

Only Ron Paul could totally pimp smack the House Financial Services Committee and get away with it.

The day America rejected this man is the day when America chose utter destruction...

2008 Financial Report of the United States.

Ladies and gents,

The 2008 Financial Report of the United States is out.

Digg in!!

As I briefly skim the contents, it looks like more of the same bad news.

Revenues are flat, expenses are rising, and our future liabilities, such as interest payments on Federal debt, Social Security, Medicare, and the like are going through the roof.

In other words, the government is beyond bankrupt.

This also means that it has three ways of resolving this crisis:

1) Default on their obligations

2) Downsize dramatically, slash expenditures and increase revenues

3) Print money to meet ever increasing payables due


Dear Readers, I believe that option 3 is the path our government is going to take. However, Fedgov might be forced into option 1 by its many creditors, who might force the country into receivership [1][2] in order to liquidate its assets.

Option 2 will only happen if the People wake up, rise up, and force incompetent and corrupt business and government leaders to give up the reins of power. While I am optomistic that the masses will finally impose much needed discipline upon the political elites, one wonders when the Revolution will actually begin.


Speaking of financial issues, please be sure to check out the January 3, 2009 Financial Sense broadcast. These fine gents have uploaded hours of need-to-know financial information that you won't find in any of the mainstream publications.

If you can make it through all of the podcasts, then you will know everything you need to know about what's going to happen both economically and politically going forward, and can plan accordingly.

Also, one will come to the understanding that Political Feminism is a Dead Hag Walking. There is no possible way that any populace is going to continue to fund and propagate an ideological system that ruins and impoverishes so many people.

Indeed, men and women are going to be clinging to each other as they shiver in the dark, wondering how they are going to survive the tribulations that are to come. Old Skool Manliness is set to make a roaring comeback.

Quite simply, it is going to be every family unit for themselves. The Matriarchal State, financed by huge quantities of Fiat Money and Credit, will quickly become obsolete.

It will implode upon itself like a house of cards, and I for one can't wait.

Toku out.

Happy New Year!

あけましておめでとうございます！


Most esteemed Readers,

We here at Togakure School pray that you will have a happy, successful, and prosperous 2009.

And, for your holiday viewing, I would like to present a Bloomberg interview with Mr. Niall Ferguson, courtesy of Dollarcollapse.com.





Please pay close attention to the 11:00 minute mark. Mr. Ferguson discusses Bond Markets and how they lead to the rise and fall of empires.

The Debt Market is where the action is. When the Bond Markets go bust, the American Empire will go down with it.

But in any event, please take a look when you have time. It is worth watching.

Finally,

Thank you for visiting Togakure School... and we hope that you will continue to check back with us in the New Year.

今年もよろしくお願いいたします！

Toku and family.
