War is a Racket

The following excerpt is from a speech made by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC. Butler joined the Marine Corps when the Spanish American War broke out, earned the Brevette Medal during the Boxer Rebellion in China, saw action in Central America, and in France during World War I, he was promoted to Major General. Smedley Butler served his country for 34 years, yet after he retired after a long career of venerable service, he came to a point where he became publicly outspoken against American armed intervention into the affairs of sovereign nations.

Just about every point he makes in this speech is relevant today. Remember the key points that Butler makes the next time you turn on the boob tube or read in the papers quoting politicians, pundits and their sycophants and useful idiots who repeatedly tell us that our soldiers are in foreign lands to “keep us safe” and to preserve or promote the biggest lie of all: “Democracy!”





WAR IS A RACKET
Excerpt from Speech delivered in 1933

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

Evil minds that plot destruction...

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones.

Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill.

Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the “war to end all wars.” This was the “war to make the world safe for democracy.”

No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a “glorious adventure.”

Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month

If you don’t believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran’s hospitals in the United States.

Until 1898 we didn’t own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became “internationally minded.” We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington’s warning about “entangling alliances.”

We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000.

I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we’ll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

There isn’t a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its “finger men” to point out enemies, its “muscle men” to destroy enemies, its “brain men” to plan war preparations, and a “Big Boss” Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Does anyone really believe that what our troops are doing — in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and anywhere else our government is gearing them up to send them to fight, kill and die — is doing anything different than what Butler described in 1933?

The US is not a “democracy.” We are a corporation, and the military division of this global corporation is simply carrying out hostile takeovers around the world to expand production capacity, acquire cheap labor, and seize capital for their own profit at the expense of our soldiers blood and our nations treasury.

I completely concur with Butler when he stated:

“There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.”

It’s time we brought our soldiers home, end this racket, and engage the real enemies of this country…those who continue to wage their subversive cultural, economic, spiritual and demographic war on our home front.

Notable Commentary from the Original Post

As a Marine, Smedley Butler is one of my personal heroes. I wrote a post on my own blog about Marine Corps ethics and touched briefly on Butler – who is one of only nineteen people to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor twice. He was also warning about the ‘military industrial complex’ long before Eisenhower would give his famous speech (though I don’t think he used the same terminology). Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise to see this post on the Spearhead today. Kudos!

I have absolute zero trust in the US Gov’t. And voting is meaningless. You just replace one bought and paid for racketeer with another. The events of just the last five years have convinced me that the President, and Congress, are taking orders from somebody else. They have completely ignored what the majority of the American people want, and have robbed our treasury. Stick a fork in US. We’re done.


Migu December 31, 2009 at 05:24

Vote? Hahahahahahahahah. The delusian of voting. If I vote I consent, I don’t consent so I don’t vote. Now if only about 20% of us quitnpaying taxes. Starve the beast it is the only way it ever dies.

Major General Smedley Butler is one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice.

I completely agree with this post.

War is especially important for men because it has always been men & boys who have been used as cannon fodder for the elite.

Our media & movies try to glorify war but ask people who have served in combat & most of them describe what a horror it was. I have had two uncles serve in Vietnam, one of them was killed there at age 21. The other one who survived still has nightmares to this day about what he saw over there & lost all trust in gov’t when it came out that the Gulf of Tonkin incident which LBJ used to sharply escalate the war NEVER happened. After 9/11 all he said was “watch the gov’t lie their way into more wars using this excuse” and he turned out to be absolutely right.

By the way the most pro war types very often are chickenhawks who dodged service when it was their time. To give an example John Bolton had this to say:

Though Bolton supported the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard, but did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton

This is the same guy who today gets on Fox news saying that US needs to bomb Iran, invade Somalia etc. He was also a cheerleader for the Iraq war.


Expatriate December 31, 2009 at 06:51

The robbery of Iraqis & Americans only benefits a few of the elite like those who own KBR, Blackwater etc.

For ordinary Americans the wars are actually a net drain on our economy & make us more indebted to the Chinese.

The military’s job is not travelling the world & spreading “democracy” or whatever bullshit they are telling the sheeple now but to defend the US. That was what the founders wanted & envisioned. This country was intended to be a constitutional republic not an empire. Spraying napalm & agent orange on the Vietnamese people was not about defending America, hell this degenerate gov’t refused to even acknowledge the effects of Agent Orange on our own veterans for a long time.

Remember the domino theory crap, ya well we left & I didn’t see the whole of Asia become communist as predicted and today Vietnam is a trading partner of the US.

If you take this article at heart, which I do, then you understand why I say tax the top 1% to pay off our national debt. It’s really not our debt. It’s their debt. They are the puppet masters who drove us down this road. I’m sorry for those in the top 1% who didn’t do anything wrong, but by their complacency or willful ignorance, they allow it to happen.

Trickle down economics is true enough if you focus on the “trickle” part, but money “flows” to the top, and down right “gushes” there in times of prosperity. I hate handouts, welfare, etc., but real household income, inflation adjusted, has been stagnant since 1973, while productivity has soared a great deal more than 30%. It’s time the middle class stops paying for the elite’s wars, protective bureaucracies, and corporate welfare.

NO more tax loopholes, off-shoring of assets, legal advantages, and false sense of earned entitlement by the rich. Plenty of rich people deserve to be rich. Just as many inherited it, got lucky, or knew the right people. But the top 1% pays 40% or our taxes, you say! Think about that you idiot. That's because they control well over 40% of the wealth. Someone with 10’s of millions of dollars can do without the third home and second yacht, at least right now, when our country is about to go bankrupt.

Time to pay your fair share. Instead of donating 10k to a politician to insure your 10k tax break, instead of donating 10k to a charity and then just write that off as a tax break, instead of paying an accountant 10k to save 10k in taxes, why don’t you just donate that 30k to help pay off our debt, thereby help everyone, not just people who will kiss your ass for doing so. Once the books are even, you can start to screw over the middle class again, but come on, we’re on the fucking edge of a financial cliff, and what do we do? Raise taxes on those who can afford it? No. We go into more debt to bail out rich bankers and corporate giants! Who watches the watchmen? It apparently isn’t the middle class. I’m telling you! I’m not nuts! Class warfare. It’s inherently capitalistic. Its just fighting for what you think you deserve.

How do we know what we are worth, until we demand what we are worth? Is it wrong to ask your boss for a pay raise? Then why is it wrong to ask the rich to pay more taxes? Those taxes pay cops to protect the rich people’s gated communities first and foremost, and I’ve seen it first hand, while those same cops look to nickle and dime me through driving violations and busting me for weed. You think a burglary in the hood gets adequately investigated. I’ve seen a burglary in a golf course neighborhood get a response that makes shows like CSI look like a bunch of light weight amateurs. Almost a dozen cops?! Really, almost a dozen cops because your plasma screen got stolen! I’m sure your buddy next to you who owns the local Best-Buy and will give you another discount. How many people around here know rich people and have seen the willing and dealing that goes on. It’s like celebrities getting free clothes, drinks and gadgets all the time. It makes me sick. I’ve even skimmed the cream off the milk of those cash cows a few times myself, and I have nothing to offer in return other than my sparkling personality, I can’t imagine the extent of what they do for each other behind closed doors.

The full text of “War Is A Racket” can be downloaded at several web sites. Here is one.

Every father should give this to his teenage son.

After I served in South Armagh I visited the hospital bed of a friend of mine who was, like me, a paratrooper and Platoon Commander. He had suffered 60% third degree burns. Almost enough to kill him, but not quite, but enough to burn off all his facial features including his ears, lips, nose and eyelids. This guy had been better than me in all respects. Better looking, a better athlete, better with women, a better person, a better soldier. War is pointless random violence.


Sh0t December 31, 2009 at 11:46

Smedley was right.

They never told us in boot camp or OCS that one of our Marine demi-gods felt this way. When I found out years later, I was quite shocked.

They still won’t listen Smedley.

To All:

Simple point. We are not a Democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic. A democracy is two wolves and a sheep arguing over what’s for dinner. In the Constitutional Republic, the sheep gets a gun!


Dat_Truth_Hurts December 31, 2009 at 11:57

You might as well curse the sun for being bright. War is tied to civilization, and has been lamented since we could articulate the hypocrisy of the venture. Look at the quotes on war through history/ “War is old men talking and young men dying”. War is about treasure.

It is an ugly reality that must be accepted, just as the impending collapse of any empire that sheds the roots of success. America has thrown away its libertarian Christian roots, and allowed the unworthy to vote. Women, people who pay no taxes: they all vote.

Now we fight wars of waste with new, wonderful technology – we have the technology to win any war, we just do not have the stomach. We shouldn’t be losing one more man in Afghanistan; Afghanistan should have been turned into a parking lot decades ago.

————————————————————————-

Below are Jesus’ words. Jesus never advocated any form of violence or dominance. Instead, He commanded us to love, show mercy, and to forgive others. It is inconceivable that Jesus would support war. (Sermon on the Mount Analysis)

Non Violence: Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for those who live by the sword, die by the sword. Matt 26:52.

Meek, Merciful, and Peacemakers: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth… Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy… Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Matt 5:5-9.

Forgive Those Who Sin Against Us: Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven…” Matt 18:21-22

Love your Enemies: But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. Luke 6:27-32

—————————————————————————–

I’m not saying I agree. I’m no pacifist. But Jesus was a sly cat, and he wasn’t going to give an inch to some sociopath so they could stretch it into a mile, and I can’t help but think of his words when I think of neo-con aggression, and the fact that Cheney put biblical quotes on the front of Bush’s daily intelligence briefings.

Pax-America? Not anymore. It’s time for Fortress-America. Isolation for now. I’m pro big-military as a deterrent and last resort, but a deterrent is pointless if its wielded about sloppily and ineffectually. People stop taking us seriously if we reveal the cards in our hands and show our weaknesses. If it needs to happen? I’d follow the Powell doctrine, primed and finished off with Sun-Tzu like tactics and stratagems.

I have an issue with WW2. We fought it to stop Hitler from enslaving Europe and killing a ton of people. So we won and instead Stalin enslaved Europe and half of Asia and killed a ton of people. We then had to fight a 40 year cold war that came close to getting us wiped out (See Cuban missile crises). What exactly was the point of WW2?

Evangelical Celibacy Hermitage

Migtow has suffered the same fate as all other authentic grass roots movements that arise as an organic reaction to the ubiquitous injustices and evils of the Bablyon System we all live in subjugation to. We done got mainstreamed, co-opted, redefined and marginalized, just like the tea baggers and occupussies.

Seems like the acronym, MGTOW has come to be defined solely as those men who zealously evangelize lifelong celibacy as the only sane option in a world gone mad. At one point several years ago, I too made that mistaken assumption.

I once wrote on a now defunct forum, that even though I couldn't be a MGTOW-er since I was already married, I supported the idea of deliberate celibate hermitage for men of our era as a rational course of action given present day reality of the system. A few veteran Migtows set me straight real quick on my mischaracterization of MGTOW solely defined as committed celibates eschewing all relations with the fairer sex.

MGTOW is not defined by neither voluntary or involuntary celibacy. It is Men exercising their God-given right to pursue life on their own terms. If that involves celibacy or it involves getting married and raising children, the defining trait of the MGTOW ethos is that you pursue it how you best see fit, and not blithely following along with one of the many "scripted" lifestyles promulgated by our mass-social media driven society. It is finding a path in life that does not compromise your integrity. It is the ethos of liberation from the mental slavery of our Brave New World Order's system of serfdom hidden in plain sight.

Before the term MGTOW came into parlance, there was an older term used to define the same phenomenon of Men who defy convention: Off the Reservation.

"...used to slam people who are thinking differently than what their group considers acceptable. Origin: comes from the time in the late 1800s in the USA when many American Indian tribes were ordered to be relocated to "reservations." Many tribes ignored the relocation orders at first and were forced onto their new limited land parcels. Enforcement of the policy required the United States Army to restrict the movements of various tribes. The pursuit of tribes in order to force them back onto reservations led to a number of Native American Wars."

Seems like once a large enough number of men decide to go off script and leave the reservation, they eventually form their own reservation...and then it's just a matter of time before men begin to leave that one to begin the process all over again. This is the inevitable cycle of tribal formation, transformation, disbursement and eventual dissolution in any human culture.

Alpha Game commenter Hund Hollen expounded on this point humorously:

In online parlance, “MGTOW” basically refers to any man who’s off-script. There are many scripts out there.

The tradcon / white nationalist script: bust your ass and remain celibate, then marry some supposedly good and worthy Christian “virgin”, move to some rural area, have lots of kids and homeschool them, grow your own food and brag about your lifestyle on the Internet.

The feminist script: bust your ass and have egalitarian relationships with feminist women based on mutual respect, marry an ageing spinster or single mother, have 1 or 2 children and indoctrinate them with feminism, move to the suburbs, pay off your wife’s debts, brag about it all on the Internet and then tearfully claim it’s all your fault when she frivorces you and ruins your life.

The MHRA script: bust your ass and do lots of activism on behalf of MRA organizations. Donate money, show up on protests and conferences. Paint a target on your back for tradcons and feminists to shoot at. Whenever attacked, claim that you support “gender equality” and love women.

The PUA script: bust your ass, work out like crazy, spend your free time learning all sorts of “valuable” skills, go on a diet, approach 10 women everyday, travel the Third World, brag about it all online, then move to the Philippines or Latvia when you’re tired of it all, then self-publish your memoirs in online format and sell it on Amazon. 

The people pushing these scripts are all targeting the same demographic, young single betas, so they are in fierce competition. What is making their job even harder is that a growing segment of these betas are refusing to follow any script. This is making more and more people angry and frustrated, as evidenced by increasingly shrill public discourse about MGTOWs and the “Sexodus”. Young men are supposed to be dumb disposable shits, after all, and follow a script. But a growing number of them simply won’t do it.

Yes, hell hound got it almost right. Except many of today's most vocal Migtows in the comment threads and forums out in the fever swamps of these fringes of teh Interwebz have taken over the term and have associated MGTOW with only one possible definition: evangelical celibacy hermitage.


Celibate hermitage is definitely a legitimate route for any man to decide to take. It's the evangelical part that annoys me.

There is no ONE WAY of life that must be lived. You have YOUR way, however YOU choose to make it. You can follow any script you like. Just be cognizant of the fact that if you follow any particular script, there are no guarantees you'll achieve whatever it is the script supposedly promises you for following it. There are pros and cons to any path you choose to follow.

I followed the script of THE AMERICAN DREAM (works best with regular doses of the blue pill), right into student loan debt slavery, materialistic consumerism, ill health and a dysfunctional marriage. Thanks to all the time, studying and research I put in at the University of the Autodidact, I was able to figure out why I wasn't achieving the happy ending promised at the end of the blue pill-enhanced script I was following. In the end, I've found my own way, on my own path, and I'm still on it.

 

Don't let the evangelical celibate hermitage Migtows haranguing the hordes of the MAndrosphere comboxes become the defining caricature, the ultimate straw man permanently associated with the term MGTOW. Let us recall the original MGTOW manifesto:

The goal is to instill masculinity in men, femininity in women, and work toward limited government!

By instilling masculinity in men, we make men self-reliant, proud, and independent.

By instilling femininity in women, we make them nurturing, supporting, and responsible.

By working for a limited government, we are working for freedom and justice.

Women having "other qualities" is not interesting to men because we don't need them! Femininity will be the price women pay for enjoying masculinity in men!

This is the aim of "Men Going Their Own Way".

By holding this point of view, we are helping other men and, more importantly, we are helping boys grow up to become men.

This goal is to take away everyone's "right" to vote on other people's affairs thus rendering it impossible for political organisms and ideologies to impose their personal will on everyone else. It is not about reinstalling patriarchy or revoking female voting rights or making socialism illegal. It might have this as a side effect - but not directly and not as a political ideology. Only the future will show what happens and by going our own way we are preparing men and boys for that future.

That's how I choose to define the Men Going Their Own Way ethos. Self-reliant, proud and independent. It is not a political movement...it's a personal awareness movement.

When MGTOW first arose amongst the aether of cyberspace, it was based on Men recognizing the truth of our realities and existence in our Brave New World Order Matrix, and realizing the scripts THEY have written for us are all designed for their benefit at our expense. Our life, our health, our sanity, our families, our relationships...all corrupted, infected, tainted and ultimately destroyed if we blithely follow the lifestyles and scripts THEY have regularly programmed our society for us to blindly follow.

Marriage is not for everyone...but neither is voluntary celibacy. Every man has his own unique set of circumstances that shape his life. What may be right for me, may be right for you...or not. Only you can figure that out. Do you need to be told what to do, how to do it and when to do it? Or do you prefer to assess any given path in life with all the available information you can find before you decide to take it on?

If you're looking for a movement or an organization to attach yourself to, to give you a pre-formed script to follow, good luck with that....just remember that if you choose the script offered to you by a movement or an organization, never forget what shape any Men's group not run by a strong, centralized leadership with a clearly defined hierarchy, inevitably forms into. That shape is the circular firing squad.

When you are a Man Gone Your Own Way, the only truly defining act you are committed to, is stepping out of the circle of that firing squad, and tearing up all these scripts that others have written for you, and begin to write your own.

In the Name of Science

From the SpearheadFiles
December 9, 2009

Lies, untruths, misconceptions, deception, propaganda and misinformation. These are all primary characteristics of our modern mass media “news” and “info-tainment.” Of course, the best way to pass off all these illusions as reality is to always make these claims on the basis of unquestionable authority. It used to be the rulers of any given society used the concept of “GOD” or “GODS” to utilize the appeal to unquestionable authority to get their subjects to do what they desired of them.

Whether you believe in religion or not, one cannot look at human history and ignore the role of religion as social and behavioral control by the power structure of the church/state. Indeed, the rulers of any society have always understood the role of playing to people’s beliefs to manipulate and control their behavior.
The biggest illusion that has been effected by the rulers of our current dystopia is the delusion that we live in a secular society that has separated church from the State, and that we are all better off for it.

No, what has actually been done, was to delude the masses into accepting a NEW church and State power structure…and that “church” is the idea of  SCIENCE playing the role of being the ultimate arbiter for guiding human behavior. Where the rulers of the past wielded authority “In the Name of God,” we now live in a world where the dynamic is exactly the same – but now the appeal is “In the Name of Science.” But it’s all a grand lie.

There are observable truths and reproducible results to testing hypothesis, that most of us recognize as the foundation for the “Scientific Method.” Indeed, you won’t find me trying to argue that there are many things mankind understands, and many technological advances that have been engineered and invented thanks to the rigid application of the Scientific Method by intellectually honest scientists.

The “grand lie” that is promoted by politicians, Government agencies, corporations, foundations, and of course the mainstream media, is to get the masses to believe something has been proven by scientists using the scientific method. In many cases, it’s really just a rhetorical sleight of hand…a shell game.

Here are some common phrases used by the media/Government/Corporate Commercial interests to play this game of subtle mind manipulation:

“Research has shown…”

“Studies indicate…”

“The latest research…”

“A brand new study…”

The real problem here is that in many cases, a very real study using a very rigorous application of the scientific method to produce a testable result that either proves or disproves a hypothesis has been done. Many great discoveries, inventions and revelations have helped mankind by doing exactly this. But in many of these cases, the scientific method was NOT used.

Actual research using a control group and double-blind studies have not been conducted. Many times, what is done, is to use “statistical analysis” of data and information that either was gathered for some other study, or a deliberately misleading study was conducted, designed from the start to reach a predetermined conclusion.

Then, when the latest corporate press release, or public service announcement by the Government or some non-profit foundation is made, it uses those types of aforementioned phrases…and the average, dumbed down sheeple consumer mindlessly accepts those pronouncements as “SCIENTIFIC FACTS” and they unwittingly and naively change their behavior based on what becomes conventional wisdom…

…all IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.

If you recognize the truth in what I just wrote, you can actually step back and look at so many assumptions, ideas and things that you “just know” and realize that this subversive mind control has in fact been carried out on us in virtually every aspect of our modern, 21st century lives. It IS the defining zeitgeist of our Brave New World Order.

I’ve come to this realization through an intensive personal effort to research dietary truths out of a desire to attain better health and physical well being for myself. Doing my due diligence in researching this, I do believe I’ve seen exactly just how far this rabbit hole does go.

Before I was able to comprehend the scope of the deception and manipulation, I had to first wake up to the fact that by following the “conventional wisdom” was making me become exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place – fat, overweight, out of shape and in poor physical health.

Throughout my entire 20’s and early 30’s, I was what I THOUGHT was a conscientious, healthy eater. Yet over those years, a slowly but surely kept gaining weight until I reached the point of either figuring out how to lose weight…or begin to start shopping for a new wardrobe to fit my expanding waist.

That truly was the very beginning of my journey into awareness, culminating in the realization that we do in fact live in a world of deliberately promulgated delusion to lead us all astray for the benefit of those who would promote such lies.

Here are a few of the lies I unquestionably accepted and followed when I thought I was eating “healthy:”

– Red Meat is bad for you.

- Saturated Fat is bad for you.

-  A Plant-based diet, or being as “vegetarian” as you can -  is optimal.

- That “Greasy” food is why so many people are obese and sickly.

To summarize what I learned — before I delve into the details here – THE biggest corporate business interest in the world besides “BIG OIL” is “BIG AGRICULTURE.”

And their influence on the Government, the mass media and society as a whole and their beliefs regarding diet and nutrition is far reaching and ubiquitous. It has hopelessly corrupted the medical and healthcare industries. It has hopelessly corrupted the Government. And a wide variety of interests have profited immensely from this, while literally millions of people have suffered ill health, disease and death because they THOUGHT they were following the dietary wisdom promulgated IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.

To make a long story short, my research on the internet lead me to the principles of a “Primal” or “Paleo-lithic”  diet. Lots of animal meat, and loads of saturated fat, no processed foods, no sugars or vegetable oils, and limiting carbohydrates to lots of deep green vegetables.

The idea that I could eat bacon and eggs and cheese and ham and sausage every day, along with generous heaps of full fat sour cream, full fat yogurt, lots of butter, and heavy cream in my coffee and LOSE weight blew me away. I couldn’t get passed my indoctrinated programming at first. Everything I read was counter to all of the accumulated “wisdom” of dietary conventional wisdom I’d been indoctrinated with over the years. I used margarine instead of butter. “Lite” coffee creamer. “Lite” sour cream or sour cream substitute. Everything I bought and ate was “Low Fat” or “Non-Fat” or “Lite.” I would eat Turkey Bacon, and use ground turkey for any food recipes that called for ground beef, under the notion that lean, low-fat meat was healthier. And I would go for days at a time eating vegetarian meals, eschewing meat and fat, thinking I was eating healthy.

And yet I kept getting fatter and fatter.

And it’s not that I was a lazy gluttonous slob either. I’ve been physically active my entire adult life…I work out a minimum of 4 times a week, often times 6 days a week. And yet the more “plant based” I tried to make my diet, and the harder I worked out, the fatter I continued to get.

So at first, upon discovering “Primal” dietary advice, I was very hesitant to try it out…but I eventually did. I began to eat a high protein/high saturated fat diet, while limiting my carbohydrates, sugars, vegetable oils  and eschewing almost all processed, packaged foods. And I lost over 40 lbs. in a 3 month period.

And yet…I STILL couldn’t believe what I was seeing on my bathroom scale or in the mirror. Part of me would think “Ok, I lost all this weight…but aren’t I clogging my arteries and setting myself up for high cholesterol, heart disease cancer and diabetes?”

Than I REALLY began to do my research…and here’s where we really get to the meat of the matter (pun intended!)

Let’s start with this idea often cited by articles, PSA’s, and news stories – that Red Meat causes cancer: From the National Cancer Institute

The first graph displayed on that page purports to show the amount of meat eaten by individuals that participated in the survey. From the reference to that first graph, I’m able to google up the website of the source of that questionnaire used to generate this graph…which is the basic means of gathering information used for the statistical analysis that eventually lead to “experts” promoting the propaganda that red meat causes cancer.

Here’s the actual questionnaire (PDF) used to gather the data.

The food frequency portion of the questionnaire begins on page 176 of the PDF document. Here’s the standard question structure used for all of the questionnaire’s survey on food:

During the past year or so, how many times per day, week, month or year, did you usually eat/drink {food or beverage}:
____ Times per (check one) __ Day __ Week __ Month __ Year __ Less than 6 a year or never

How can such a study take a generalized question structure like this and even hope to get “accurate” data, to recommend making such life changing behaviors to people? Can YOU remember how many times you ate steak in the past year? Hot Dogs? Pizza?

Furthermore, there is almost no distinction between quality of food! It asks about fried foods…but no distinction about what oils it is fried in nor at what temperatures (who could remember that anyways? Do you know what kind of oil your french fries were made in a year ago at that one McDonalds you had lunch at?)
It asks about food like Pizza. Is there not substantial difference between cheap, frozen pizza versus home-delivered vs. home made? And is not the toppings of a pizza, and the ingredients for the crust extremely variable?

It asks about how many times a year a person ate “Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers or Meatloaf.” Again, the ingredients used to make these food items could be extremely variable.

And I didn’t even get to the validity of bias selection in this survey. Look at the entire size of this survey. Frankly, I’m stunned that they supposedly found 500,000 people that willingly sat there for the amount of time required to fill out this questionnaire in it’s entirety.

Finally, no matter how accurate these self-reported results are, can you not see the very fundamental flaw regarding the methodology?

That one could supposedly look at the sum totality of a reported diet, and point to red meat as the culprit?

Yet this is precisely how all of those claims you encounter that red meat or saturated fats are bad for you…they do not conduct a scientific study using a control group and feed one group a lot of meat and saturated fats, while another group eats a vegetarian diet for a long period of time and than figure out which group had higher rates of cancer and/or heart disease. No, that would be an actual scientific experiment.

No, what we have here is essentially a marketing-style survey and a statistical analysis. What was that saying again about there being lies, damn lies and than there are statistics?

This is precisely why every time you hear/read/see reports that promote the idea that red meat or saturated fat is a health hazard, they always use weaselly qualifiers:

“Researchers have linked high intake of fat from red meat and dairy products with increased risk of pancreatic cancer, in a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.”

Or

“Research has shown that people who eat a diet free of animal products, high in plant foods, and low in fat have a much lower risk of developing cancer.”

So remember folks…the next time your in the grocery store, don’t forget your plant-based high fructose corn syrup, your plant-based soybean oil margarine, your plant based, fortified cereal and your plant-based soymilk and your plant-based potato chips fried in plant-based cottonseed oil…you wouldn’t want to eat real food like meat or dairy and get cancer!





Notable Commentary from the Original Post

Chuck December 9, 2009 at 03:25

I have been assailed by a number of foreign co-workers who chastize me every time they see me eating KC strip steak and even chicken. They are vegetarians and have even converted my girlfriend.

I don’t usually rely on personal anecdotes to prove points to myself, but I’m healthier than all of them despite my “crappy” diet so I have always figured that the “red meat is bad” meme isn’t necessarily true.

What are some facts I can point to concerning red meat’s health? Also, what about cholesterol and overall heart health? One thing I’ve questioned about the Paleolithic Diet is that in our “savanna” days, there likely wasn’t as much red meat around as there was game and fowl. Is it not possible then that we aren’t efficiently adapted to handle red meat?

Fascinating subject.

An interesting thing to consider for those wanting to go on a plant-based diet is the effect it has on the bowels.

Compare the grass-eating cow to the meat-eating dog. Cow turd is usually a paste-like substance that is often ejected at high speeds and the cow’s rear-end is a mess. If dairy farmers didn’t hose them down every day there would be a thick build-up of drying crusty material.

Dogs have small, compact solid poop. It tends to clear easily and dogs don’t suffer from dags like grazing animals.

The very same effect occurs with people, based on what they eat. If you go on a plant-based diet, prepare yourself for something similar to continuous diarrhea and gas.


Paul December 9, 2009 at 03:59

The above article is very perceptive. I think I would go further. The so called scientific method is applied to things that are in essence ‘non scientific’. For example measurements that involve people answering questions can hardly be said to be scientific. Recently there was much discussion as to whether people where happier that before. But how can such a question be answered ? How can I judge if I am happier? Happiness can not be measured with am happiness meter. I can only only give an opinion at an instance that could well be different tomorrow.

Although this is perhaps not the best example that could be given it illustrates what I am trying to say. There is world of difference between measuring the charge on an electron and measuring happiness.

I think herein lies the root of the deception. This deception is to think that the rigour and success seen in the physical sciences is some how paralleled in all the other things that misappropriate the scientific badge.

But the author is right. Claiming something is ’scientific’ has the same effect as saying ‘God says’ in so much as we are still in effect having to take things on faith. Few if any of us will have any idea what so ever as to what the science was, we merely take the word of scientist who have become the new oracles.

One can exercise judgement in these things. I would for example accept the word coming from the Hadron accelerator should they claim to have seen the Higgs particle even though I did not do the experiment myself. But I would not put any such faith in much else that I am told.


djc December 9, 2009 at 04:21

I suspected all of this as a child. And now that I’m older, I know it’s true. Just about everything is complete BS. It’s like living in the Matrix. Most people I talk to about this stuff think I’m crazy, or just have a negative attitude. After all, they couldn’t possibly be dumb enough to have the wool pulled over their eyes. Yeah, right.


Krauser December 9, 2009 at 04:32

My favourite pithy observation on this topic:

We should invert the usual term and call it “policy-based evidence making”

And don’t say good things about science. It just devalues women’s ways of knowing. You sexist.


Zammo December 9, 2009 at 05:11

What, you guys don’t know that logic and reason are tools of the patriarchy used to oppress women?

The scientific method hits women hardest.

The Conspiritard Review

When I was a youth, I was a voracious reader of fiction. I devoured thousands of books over many hours of reading.When I got older and started logging on to teh Interwebz to find new reading material, I turned from my passion for fiction and began to spend a similar amount of time reading non-fiction on a wide variety of topics. History, food and nutrition, biographies, sociology, economics and current events.

Then I discovered the "blogosphere" and began my own blog after immersing myself in the forerunner of what we now know of today as the MAndrosphere. In the past six or seven years, I've probably read several hundred books regarding various aspects of what is commonly considered the "conspiracy theory" genre.

I guess you could say, I re-discovered my passion for reading "fiction" again.

In any event, long time readers of this blog are certainly familiar with all of the tinfoil hat-themed posts i've made here, inspired by all of this reading of both fiction and non-fiction (although it's become rather difficult in deciding which is which...). Thanks to my dedication for reading and writing on this topic, I even garnered an awesome and unique designation from a long time reader: I am a conspiritard! (Love ya, dana!)

As I've pointed out before, I do believe that  within the "conspiracy theory" genre of books and in the fever swamps found on teh Interwebz, there exists a lot of misinformed disinformation. Partial truths, half-truths, false flag blogs and cognitive infiltrators and paid shills who flood the comment sections and forums with outright lies and deceptions....all designed to sow confusion, and bury actual facts beneath an avalanche of mis- and dis- information, all designed to hide the truth in plain site and promote the narrative that bolsters the status quo of the ESTABLISHMENT of our Brave New World Order.

After many hours of reading a multitude of sources regarding many of the more popular conspiracy theories, I've decided to offer a guidepost of sorts for the newbies who first encounter the more strange fringes of teh Interwebz.

The following are my own quick takes and perspectives on the most popular "conspiracy theories" found online. I will rate each "theory" with a simplified, three-tiered ranking system to indicate my own perspective and beliefs as to the veracity of any said theory. The rankings will consist of a numeral rating based on one of the oldest conspiracy theories of all time...

"Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath, for he knows the time is short...." - Revelations 13:18

Reckon this...

The Conspiritard Veracity Ratings are as follows:

6 - I remain almost completely unconvinced on the veracity of this theory, there is always a possibility that it may turn out to be true, but I doubt it. Very high probability the theory is mis/dis-info psy-ops. Still an interesting topic to contemplate, if for nothing more than the lulz.

66 - I'm fairly sure most aspects of this theory are pretty accurate and fairly close to the truth of the matter, but there still exists some doubt because many aspects of the theory are unverifiable....or may be mostly true with just enough dis/mis-info inserted to discredit the entire theory. Never forget that the most effective lies are mostly based on truth.

666 - Anything I give the three - 6s rating too, is what I consider to be conspiracy FACT, not conspiracy theory.

All ratings notwithstanding, the contents of this review are simply for entertainment purposes. Anything you decide to do in reaction to any of this info is at your sole discretion, and all consequences forthcoming are your own personal responsibility. The only recommendation I have in reaction to any or all of these theories under review, is that you ensure that your tinfoil headgear fits snugly and comfortably without restricting any unnecessary blood flow, before you commence whatever it is you think you need to do.

And now, on with the review.




Theory: "There is a "New World Order" agenda being implemented by a shadow, elite government - aka 'The Powers That Be,' 'The 1%' to bring the entire planet under one World Government."

TPTB

This is the grand conspiracy of them all. All other conspiracy theories fall under the umbrella of the NWO conspiracy theory. Those of us who have studied the topic in depth have no doubts whatsoever about the veracity of this one. The real question is how do all of the other conspiracy theory's tie into how the elite, TPTB, the 1%, use either the truth or the mis/dis-info psy-ops to achieve their over-arching goals of establishing the NWO. Rather then attempt to provide corroborating links, I'll just suggest you check with Googliath with the search terms "The Georgia Guidestones." THEY, etched their agenda for our Brave New World Order in stone and erected it in the middle of an open field in USA Inc., for all of humanity to see. Let's just keep this one simple and take them at their word.

Theory: "Feminism was deliberately pushed via Non-Profit Foundations and Corporations to get women into the workforce and institute population control."

Got RFID Chips?

The first place I encountered "conspiracy theory" on teh Interewebz was some long ago MRA/MGTOW linkage that concerned the idea that feminism was not something that "just happened" in the 1960's, but rather promoted by an "elite" shadow government with a "New World Order" agenda. The first place I ever put on the tinfoil hat, was Henry Makow's site SavetheMales.com, now henrymakow.ca.  It has now been eight years since he first issued it, but his challenge to anyone who doubted the "conspiracy theory" of feminism he issued in his 2007 article, How the Rockefellers Re-Engineered Women still reveals the veracity of his assesment today:

"Google "Rockefeller Foundation" and "Women's Studies" and you'll get a half million citations."

Also see the infamous Aaron Russo documentary on YouTube, America: Freedom to Fascism.

Theory: "'Project Blue Beam' is a conspiracy theory that claims that NASA is attempting to implement a New Age religion with the Antichrist at its head and start a New World Order, via a technologically-simulated Second Coming."

HE IS RISEN

I don't buy this one at all. Every aspect of our Brave New World Order's mass media controlled culture is focused on fostering atheism, agnosticism, paganism, "new age" spirituality and anti-Christianity in any and every form. If THEY are counting on projecting an image of Jesus into the sky to get we the sheeple to submit to their dictatorial rule, shouldn't they have been promoting Christianity and the second coming in every possible channel that they have influence and control?

Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 6




Theory: "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), is an actual USA Inc., Military project that has been blamed for triggering "natural" catastrophes such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, thunderstorms, earthquakes in China, Malaysia, Iran, Pakistan, Haiti, Turkey, Greece and the Philippines, major power outages, the downing of TWA Flight 800, Gulf War syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome."

I don't really know if I buy the idea that HAARP can actually control the weather or cause environmental catastrophes....but due to the track record of secrecy, dishonesty and duplicity of other top secret USA Inc. military programs, I'll give this one two sixes instead of the single one I initially planned to tender here. It's not that far out of an idea compared to many other theories found in the fever swamps of teh Interwebz...

Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 66




Theory: "Much of the "Global Warming" issue is nothing more than a cover story for the world's governments who have been steadily preparing for an impeding natural catastrophe when the magnetic poles of the Earth flip, resulting in world wide cataclysms of earthquakes, volcanoes and super-storms that precede an impending ice age that will wipe out the majority of the world's population."

When the SHTF, it's TEOTWAWKI

Everything you need to know about this one has been covered extensively by my all time favorite doomsday prepper, Tex Arcane. That being said, I give this one three sixes simply for the fact of the matter that global cataclysms are historical fact, and the cycle of ice ages is verifiable. It's not a matter of if, but when. It may not happen in our lifetimes, but as I always say, it's better to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

Theory: "TPTB, aka  the 1%, aka the elite, aka the Shadow Government, aka The Illuminati, is made up of shape-shifting reptile aliens from Nibiru - Planet X, that disguise themselves as humans to rule over the planet."

The other Lizard Queen

This theory was made famous by the infamous David Icke. At first glance, this makes him appear batshit insane. Trouble is, before I ever encountered Icke's "Reptilian" conspiracy, I did watch a few YouTube videos of his and read a few articles in which he addressed a number of conspiracy theory topics like the modern banking system,  that seemed perfectly rationale and made sense. Then I read his theories on "Reptilie Aliens" and "Illuminati bloodlines." I am of the opinion that David Icke is most likely a psy-op agent or "controlled opposition," who's modus operandi is to basically speak the truth with just enough  dis-info so that the truth he does accurately discuss is ALL branded, marginalized and dismissed as fantastic lunacy.

But then again, I can't say I wouldn't be totally shocked if we were to one day see one of our so-called leaders like our Fake President or as Vox Day nicknamed her years ago "The Lizard Queen," should one day shed their human mask on the Tell-A-Vision and announce that the Annunaki-Nephilim have taken over the Earth and all us humans are to report to the nearest FEMA camps for the Reptilians to commence an all they can eat sheeple buffet...

Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 6





Theory: "The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has set up concentration camps in all 50 States of the USA to prepare for the breakdown of civil society and the declaration of Martial Law."

Is it camping season yet?

In researching this topic, I've found many conflicting theories as to why FEMA has set up these camps throughout the country....but I have encountered a number of sources that have verified it for me personally, that in fact these facilities have been constructed all throughout the US...but for what ultimate purpose they are designed for truly remains to be seen.

Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 66




Theory: "The entire beauty, health and skin care industry is nothing more than an adjunct of the cancer industrial complex, in which THEY seek to poison as many women with as many chemical substances as possible."

It takes a lot to look like this!

I've blogged extensively these past 7+ years here about Big Ag's industrialized FEED industry and their connection to Big Pharma, as well as other Big Chemical industry markets like, vaccines, GMO's and fluoride, so I won't be including them in the conspiritard review...but one thing I never did get around to addressing was all of the toxic substances found in all of the health and beauty products used by nearly all women, metrosexuals and other fashion-conscious sheeple in today's Brave New World Order. Needless to say, the above graphic says it all.


Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 666





Theory: "The terrorist attacks on 9-11-01 were carried out under the orders of Al Qaeda's head honcho, Osama Bin Laden, who was living in a cave in Afghanistan. His loyal jihadi operatives, trained at US flight training schools, and armed with nothing more than box cutters, hijacked four US Jetliners and crashed them into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, because they hate us for our freedoms. And, oh yeah, Islam is a religion of peace."

Osama Bean Laden

Oops, this is not a conspiracy theory, it's the official narrative of what happened on that day. Sorry, I guess I forgot....

Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 6





Theory: "Chemtrails are long-lasting trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed for sinister purposes undisclosed to the general public."

"Oh beautiful, for gracious skies..."

Although familiar with the topic, I never thought too much about this particular conspiracy theory, until I visited the West Coast USA Inc., last summer, where I watched planes flying at a high altitude create a grid work of patterns across the sky, from horizon to horizon over the city I was visiting. These trails took many hours to dissipate into a gray, overcast sky. As I watched it, I thought to myself, "Damn, Infowars and all those other sites were right! Those are NOT contrails." Living in Hawaii  where I see commercial and military jets take off, land and fly over my islands every single day, I have never seen "contrails" that take hours to dissipate into a gray, hazy, overcast sky like I saw that day.

I only give this theory two sixes, simply because while I believe my own lying eyes - they are spraying SOMETHING up there, and it 'aint regular contrails...for what purposes, it still is hard to ascertain. Conflicting theories cite anything from deliberate poisoning of the masses to trying to geo-engineer the climate and fight "global warming." In any case, THEY are spraying something way up there...

Conspiritard Veracity Rating: 66





Theory:  "Everything broadcast on the Tell-A-Vision is nothing but a weapon of mass distraction, designed to keep we the sheeple distracted and influenced to be mindless, passive, unhealthy and dumbed-down consumers."

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

 If you're a regular reader of this blog, you already know what rating this one's gonna get.

Theory: "It's not Reptile Aliens, it's THE JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS!"

Last known picture of Joel Stein...

There are many, many volumes of books and articles that discuss this most verboten of all topics of on teh Interwebz. In multiple countries throughout the world, there is no free speech regarding various aspects of this topic, with a number of people having been thrown in jail for doing so. For the full details on this particular theory, have a looksee at Encylopedia Dramatica's take that is a somewhat over-the-top (dramatic!) treatment on the topic of "The Juice."

Theory: "That Hawaiian Libertarian blogger is a misogynistic, whack-job conspiracy theorist who obsesses over food magic. Nothing he blogs about should be taken seriously, only visit his blog if you want to get a good drive-by laugh at the ravings of a conspiritard lunatic!"

Who is Keoni Galt?

Aaah...at long last, we come to the end of the review. We tackle the ultimate conspiracy without the theory. The final expose of the man who would be the standard-bearer for resisting the Brave New World Order's zeitgeist of loose change and illuminated shrieking.  Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain...he's going his own way. You should too.

The 10 Harmful Things Single Mothers Do to Ruin Their Sons

From the SpearheadFiles
March 17, 2010

I recently came across a Black Christian Pastor by the name of Gills Tripplett, and he has written an article entitled 10 Harmful Things Single Mothers Do To Ruin Their Sons Lives. It is an excellent piece regarding what I consider to be the single greatest cause in perpetuating the so-called “cycle of poverty.” As pointed out by Kay Hymowitz in her seminal article, The Black Family: 40 Years of Lies, the Black American family was devastated en mass years before the same pathologies were spread to other racial groups in every country in considered “first” world. As many Spearhead contributors and bloggers alike have pointed out on numerous occasions, the subsidization of single mother households through tax redistribution schemes to fund entitlement programs is something that corrupts all communities and societies, regardless of race. The black family in America was simply the canary in the coal mine.

Well, much of society has ignored that canary’s reaction to the experiment of the “GREAT SOCIETY,” and we now see the same thing infecting all corners of our most-assuredly declining Western Civilization. Look in any white trailer park, or any other community across the country that is largely poverty stricken and is predominantly composed of single mother households on welfare, you will see the same pathologies of a matriarchal-modeled community. The same thing is apparent even here in Hawaii – the same kind of projects and ghettos can be seen amongst areas of the State that are welfare dependent ghettos. Wherever we see single mother households as the majority of “family” units, you will find the “Cycle of Poverty” is evident.

However, like most Christian-based articles concerning the travesty and tragedy of single mother households and it’s overall effect on society as a whole, there is certain elements in his piece that are certainly oblivious to the insights those of us who have studied Game and social hierarchy’s role in mating and dating…so here’s a “Fisking” of his article. While I agree wholeheartedly with the big picture, I believe there are few minor errors that needs to be corrected…

(Note that Pastor Tripplett provides plenty of links to back up his sources…visit the original article if you’re interested in following up on anything he cites.)

Raising Boys Wrong…
In the state of Georgia, as in most urban areas, two thirds of the Black children born, are born to unwed mothers. Most of those boys will grow up to be unproductive men in our society. For irrefutable proof one only needs to examine:

* The high school drop out rate amongst boys from single-family homes.
* The incarceration statistics for boys raised by single moms.
* The mass number of single mothers who have trained their boys to devalue and disrespect the entire female gender

Am I blaming society’s ills on single mothers? No! Am I attacking or demonizing single mothers? A thousand times no! 

Of course Tripplett needs to begin with a general disclaimer. This is a tacit admission that he at least understands the eternal solipsism of the female mind. I’m sure he wrote that first to preempt receiving numerous emails of protestations from single mothers who claim to be the exception to the rule. This was futile. He no doubt will get those anyways.

I am dealing with a critical issue that has devastated multiple generations. One that has not been properly dealt with for too long. I have watched this particular group of single mothers reek havoc and sow seeds of discord in the lives of countless children.

Amen, Pastor.

I had one incident in which a woman, (I’ll call Racine ) was dating a man, she got pregnant by him and they moved in together.

Like many women who give themselves to dishonorable men, Racine assumed that she could change him and that he would eventually marry her. She was so convinced of her abilities to alter his conduct, that she got pregnant, AGAIN! You should know that Racine was in the church while this disgraceful chain of events took place. After their second child, her live-in boyfriend just up and left. He coldly and calculatedly abandoned her and both of their kids.

Here’s the first bit of “So-Con” rationalization. See how he basically positions his example as simply a woman done wrong…her intentions were noble, she was trying to “save” her boyfriend, but this “cold and calculating” scum bag abandoned them.

Pastor, what we have here is a classic case of a CHURCH GOING WOMAN chasing a known “bad boy” and basically thinking with her ‘gina tingles instead of her head. Come now, give her an equal share of the responsibility here: she CHOSE an irresponsible guy to impregnate her, not once, but twice.  She is not a victim here. She is an active participant in perpetuating the cycle of poverty by creating yet another single mother household.

Her means of getting revenge against her ex was to physically abuse both their children. She would do things such as force them to sit outside in the freezing cold for hours at a time. She would choke her older son, ( I’ll call Joseph ) while swearing at him and cursing his father. Because of her physically and verbally abusive behavior, Joseph learned to hate females.

Because of how his mother abused him and his little brother, Joseph detests the female gender with an unforgiving passion.

Ah yes. Thanks to the society wide acceptance and subsidization of the single mother household, another Misogynist is born!

Like his mother had been drilling in his ears for years, he followed in the footsteps of his father. He got a female pregnant while in high school, but instead of abandoning her and baby like his dad, he married her. Not because he loved her, but to prove his mother wrong. Joseph had taken on the same vengeful and abusive spirit as his mom. In less than two weeks after saying, “I do!” he physically assaulted his new bride. He has been abusing her ever since. Even at my behest, his wife refused to file charges. She felt as though she could change him.

Pastor, pastor, pastor…”SHE FELT” is nothing more than the rationalization hamster wheel furiously churning in her brain. It’s how she justifies to herself why she stays involved with an abusive guy… because he makes her ‘gina tingle.

Their little girl will be 5-years-old in 2004 and Joseph has never held a conversation with her because of distrust and hatred of all females. The only things he has said to his daughter is, “Shut up! Didn’t I tell you… No! Sit down and, go get me a…”

Joseph kicked her across the room one night when she attempted to stop him from physically assaulting her mother. Did you comprehend what you just read? You just read how generational curses are started. Even worse, Joseph’s daughter is a likely candidate to believe that all men are dogs and become an angry Black female.

Depends. If Joseph and her mother stay together all throughout her childhood, she may instead grow up to actively seek out an abusive thug that makes her ‘gina tingle like her mom, and repeat the pattern of putting up with physical and mental abuse as long as she is excited by his thuggish behavior.

What you are reading are not aberrations. These incidents happen everyday. I could share with you so many other cases and incidents such as the large number of single mothers who for various reasons refuse to divulge to their kids who their true biological father are. These women don’t realize how their callous insensitivity has damaged their children.

Ah, but Pastor, you’re forgetting the number one response to pointing out any single instance of a woman behaving badly: Not All Women Are Like That!

Some of you will read this article and say, “What about the things the men are doing and why didn’t you mention how daughters are affected when they don’t have a dad?” I’ll deal with the dishonorable men, deadbeat dads and daughters in another session. I cannot cover all of life’s issues in one article. Right now, our focus is the ten harmful things certain single mothers do to ruin their son’s lives.

Save it, Pastor. There’s no need to go over how dastardly and dishonorable deadbeat dad’s are. We already live in a culture and society for which our mainstream media and entire cable TV channels are dedicated to never letting us forget how Men are the problem, and single mothers are heroic martyrs and paragons of self-sacrifice.

Nevertheless, on with the list:

 

1. Do You Poison Your Son’s Mind Against His Biological Father?
Some women knowingly and intentionally perform this evil scheme. Others do it unintentionally. While boys are young, this vengeful act seems harmless, but as they grow older, they develop bitterness against their fathers.

Note: Women can do this to their children, even if their Father didn’t abandon them and still remains married and an able and competent provider in the home. This is what happens when you have a mother who doesn’t respect her husband – most likely because he’s an emasculated “herb” or “beta nice guy.”

 

2. Do You Instill In Your Son: “The All Men Are Dogs,” Mentality?
You may hate the father of your child. You may hate all men. You may feel justified in your malice because of how men have treated you. However, all men are not dogs! Good men do exist! A portion of the men who become dogs were trained to be that way by their disgruntled mothers. These boys listen to their moms speak hypercritically, denounce and condemn all men until they develop a disparaging complex about being a male.

Once those seeds are planted in their impressionable minds and hearts, these boys lose hope about being an honorable man. Their mother’s words become a prophetic utterance. Albeit a negative one. Single moms, you must find ways to encourage your son and put a stop to words and actions that dismantle his vision of being a decent man. All men are not dogs!

Amen! Unfortunately the next point comes right out of the So-Con playbook:

3. Do You Play The Dating Game?
As a single mother, you cannot afford to play the worldly dating game of love, sex and relationships. When you become a revolving door for hordes of males, you indoctrinate your son to systematically devalue and disrespect the female gender. By watching an assortment of males freely enter into and abruptly exit out of your life, your son learns firsthand how to become a playa player, pimp, baller and shot caller.

On the other hand, you’re simply giving your son a first hand view of what it means to be a slut.

As he witnesses your failed relationships, tears of regret from your manifold sexual liaisons and learns how you were dumped, played, dismissed and disgraced at the hands of detestable males, his conscience becomes desensitized to the well being of all women. As you play the dating game, you persuade your son that males were called to be pimps.

There’s probably a lot of truth to this.

As a single mother, if a man refuses to respect you as a woman and honor the fact that you have a child, he is not worthy of your companionship.

Whoa there Pastor! The fact that she already made the mistake of getting impregnated by an irresponsible thug already severely limits HER WORTHINESS of the companionship of a worthy man!

You need to know that a man should not date you if he is not prepared emotionally, psychological, physically and financially to take on the responsibility of raising your child.

This is true…but you need to add that a woman who actually does find a “good” man “worthy” of her companionship, she should also seek to avoid deceiving him into thinking being a single mother is easy, and that she should imply or deliberately deceive a man with the idea that she will put him first in any future relationship…than not do so once the sucker (oops, I meant “Man”) was actually foolish enough to commit to you.

It is an absolute waste of your time for you to date or court a man who:

* Doesn’t want children
* Doesn’t like children
* Is averse to raising another man’s child
* Is not interested in getting married
* Has it made clear that his objective is to dishonor you sexually

Sigh.

More So-Con pedestalization here. I agree with the rest of this list, but let’s be frank about this last one: Women have the choice, the control, and the responsibility of dishonoring their own sexuality! A man who makes it quite clear that he is not interested in a long term, committed relationship is NOT dishonoring her! He’s being honest! If she has sex with him anyways, in the hopes of “changing his mind,” SHE IS DISHONORING HERSELF AND HER SON.

As a single mother of a boy, you are largely responsible for how your son will treat the next generation of women. Take that charge serious. Don’t set your son up for sure relationship, marital and manhood meltdown. Set before him an example of honor, respect and virtue.

As important as it is for a single mother to avoid engaging in the cock carousel of thugs and bad boys in plain view of her son, she should also be aware of choosing a man who is NOT a pedestalizing, feminized mangina that she can manipulate and run roughshod all over either. That kind of role model will have it’s own set of issues and pathologies that will affect him when he is older…and in some cases, this can cause just as much psychological damage as having a string of abusive bad boys for his primary male role models.

 

4. Do You Engage In The Sleepover Trap?
Time and time again, I meet single mothers who allow men to spend the night, move-in or do long-term layovers. When boys see their moms engaging in such shameful activity, they become indoctrinated to see women as sex objects, booty calls and casual sex partners.

Don’t worry…even if you don’t do this, he’ll get plenty of that indoctrination from watching TV and going to school with all the other little boys whose mothers do it.

 

5. Have You Made Your Son The Man of The House?
As cute as it may seem, your son IS NOT the man of the house. He is your child! Most single mothers will never understand the psychological damage they cause by anointing their sons to be the man of the house. By falsely convincing their boys that they are men, these single moms pigeonhole their adolescents into a pressure-based environment God never intended for them to be in.

Many of these undeveloped boys feel such emotional duress, that they resort to doing the unthinkable to meet their mom’s fanatical demands of manhood. These teenage boys freely talk about selling drugs, robbing people, car jacking and committing other crimes to take care of their household.

Amen.

 

6. Are You Feminizing Your Son?
To feminize means to cause a male to assume feminine characteristics. The way single mothers feminize their sons is by doing things such as:

* Having him with them while they go shopping for women’s clothing
* Taking him to the beauty salons while they get their hair and nails done
* Having him in the bathroom and bedroom while they primp and pamper
* Buying him feminine toys such as girl’s bikes, dolls, etc.
* Providing him with feminine clothes, makeup or accessories
* Involving him in feminine activities
* Calling him cute, primping and pampering him
* Piercing his ears and giving him earrings
* Belittling or minimizing male-female gender differences
* Bringing feminine or homosexual males into his life or presence

Single mothers who allow or inspire their sons to engage in activities that cause him to be feminized are partly responsible for the mass number of passive and effeminate males in our society.

Don’t forget to add that young boys raised by a single mother also pattern their emotional responses to their mothers. This is why many young men from single mother households become violent and abusive criminals. They never learn to control and channel their aggression properly by a good masculine role model. Instead, the only role model they have is the emotional roller coaster of their mother’s hormonal mood swings. When his body changes, you will have a young man full of testosterone and aggression, but no self control of his emotions.

 

7. Are You Training Him To Be a Man?
Get this irrefutable truth engrained into your mind and heart as expediently as possible. A woman cannot train a boy to be a man any more than a man can train a girl to become a virtuous woman. A man has his limits when it comes to raising and training girls.

While I’m sure there are plenty of problems men have when it comes to raising girls, I don’t think “virtuous” is one of them. A strong, protective Father most certainly can train a girl to be virtuous. I think the Pastor would have been better served to state any more than a man can train a girl to become a feminine woman.

He can read a thousand books and attend countless lectures, but he will never be able to fully understand or explain to a girl what PMS is, a woman’s hormones or what to expect when she gets pregnant. Most men won’t even attempt to broach subjects such as a woman’s broad range of emotions and feelings, her weight or looks, tampons or why women break out and cry at certain events and situations. It takes a woman to talk to a girl about those critical facets of her life.

Agreed. THIS is what Men cannot adequately do in raising girls…but none of that has to do with virtue.

In the same token, as a woman, there is only so much that you can instill in or teach a boy. Accept that fact and do not try to cross your boundaries. There are certain things that boys need psychologically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally, that you as a woman will never be able to impart to them. You will never understand or be able to help your son understand:

* Masculinity
* Testosterone
* The male ego
* A man’s penis
* Why men are territorial
* Why men love a good battle
* A man’s need to conquer
* A boy’s rites of passage

Like most females, you will spend an eternity scratching your head trying to understand why men gravitate towards brute competition. Since you will never comprehend these masculine things, you will never be able to properly communicate them to any male. Including your son!

SO STOP TRYING!

Leave the manhood training to the men!

Hallelujah!

 

8. Are You Emasculating Your Son?
Some single mothers ruin their sons by emasculating them. To emasculate means: 1. To castrate. 2. To deprive of strength or vigor and to weaken. These single moms accomplish this catastrophic emasculation process by:

* Impeding the boy’s natural gravitation towards things that boys love to do, (i.e. rough sports and aggressive play)
* By constantly scolding, condemning, yelling and screaming at him. This commonly used tactic erodes a boy’s self-confidence
* By being a domineering or overbearing mother. These single moms not only bruise their son’s male ego, but they mutilate his male identity and condition him to be a cowardly passive male
* Constantly seeing his mother crying or throwing temper tantrums. When a boy sees these seemingly harmless emotional outbursts, he becomes conditioned to respond to the issues and pressures of life in the same manner as his mom.

Excellent advice. Once again, Amen, Pastor.

I also cannot find any fault with his last two points as well…

…well, almost anything:

 

9. Have You Made Your Son Into a Momma’s Boy?
I constantly meet single mothers who delight in the fact that they are raising momma’s boys. Let me put things into proper perspective by first defining what a momma’s boy is. He has been raised and taken care of by his mother. She has dressed him, cooked his meals, did his laundry, put a roof over his head, babied and spoiled him since birth and still does so… although he is a grown man.

She has come to his rescue, fought his battles, spoken up for him, lied for him, blamed others for his sins and protected him from harm and still does so… although he is a grown man. She has bought his shoes and socks, paid his bills, bought his groceries and got him out of jail and other jams and still does so… although he is a grown man.

In their strange and contorted mother-son relationship, neither of one them is willing cut their now grotesque umbilical cord. By the way their mothers have raised them, these males have been indoctrinated to believe that women exist for the sole purpose of serving and taking care of men. 

They have no problem with moving in with a female and sitting at home, watching television while their wives, girlfriends and baby’s mothers work two and three jobs to pay the bills.

Their understanding is, “What’s the problem? That’s what my mom did and that’s what women are supposed to do!” When it comes to marriage and relationships, I advise all women to avoid momma’s boys. One way or another, these males are going to cause you heartache. Especially if you attempt to snip their umbilical cord. Single mothers who truly care about their son’s future will not raise their sons to be momma’s boys!

10. Do You Avoid Finding Strong Male Role Models For Your Son?
By having no strong male role models in their lives, boys are prone to gravitate towards:

* Having a distorted sense of self-worth
* Feeling irrelevant in our society
* Rebelling against authority
* Being passive males
* Having a deep sense of vulnerability
* Wondering about their legacy
* Not respecting the female gender

This is our Brave New World molded and fashioned by a feminist movement and a sexually libertine culture promoting Matriarchal values and unleashed female sexuality. Teaching a boy to “respect the female gender” is another way of teaching him to pedestalize women, as a gender. Teach him to respect only those men and women that have earned it! No woman deserves respect simply because she has female plumbing.

* Not understanding, respecting or embracing manhood
* Not understanding, respecting or embracing marriage

Heh. If he understands marriage…more specifically Marriage 2.0, he certainly should NOT embrace marriage…

* Not understanding, respecting or embracing fatherhood

As they reach adulthood, these harmful traits make men become societal undesirables. As a single mom, you must make seeking out strong godly male role models for your son a top priority. Start with your child’s father. The only reasons you should keep your son away from his biological father is because his dad:

* Is an alcoholic, drug user or drug dealer
* Is wanted by the police or other authorities
* Has harmful mental or other psychological issues
* Is a thug or is involved in other criminal activity
* Is an abuser, molester or perpetrator of domestic violence
* Has threatened physical harm or violence
* Poses a safety threat to you or child in some other fashion

Barring none of the above, you should not prevent your child’s from interacting with his dad. After the child’s biological father, look at the men in your family, church, after school programs and organizations that are passionate about raising boys. Be clear on this irrefutable fact: your son needs honorable men in his life if he is going to properly transition from boyhood to manhood.

If he has no godly strong male role models, your son will go from boyhood to adulthood, while skipping manhood. Don’t deceive yourself into believing that you can raise your son without men, you cannot.

Overall, I really don’t have too much quibble with this article. It would probably be better for society if more boys in single mother homes were raised to be pedestalizing doormats for women when they get older than violent, anti-social and emotionally out control adults…but still, the better answer would be to prevent the promulgation of the ubiquity of single mother households in the first place.

As long as we have a welfare and family court system defining any “family” as a mother and children, and subsidizing and/or forcefully removing men from their families and their roles as Patriarchs, the “cycle of poverty” will continue to escalate and hasten the decline of our declining civilization.

The pastor forgot one thing. Modern marriage castrates the husband legally. If the wife puts her foot down, the man faces enslavement or imprisonment. Not a good role model. Even an honorable man is three numbers away from a felony rapsheet if he is married.

A virtuous women can make the mistake of dialing those numbers once, and even if she admits it was a power play and mistake, the state’s social army will remand her to psychiatric care in order to nullify all dissent for the coming destruction of the man she used those numbers against in a moment of weakness. Those numbers are 911.

Yeah good stuff. I think the answer is not “cultural” in the sense of jawboning, moralising and so on. The answer is economic – cut these bitches off from all social safety nets and alimony. Let them starve in the streets if necessary.

The moment the glass floor is removed, women shape up very very quickly.

True, single mothers harm their sons.

But I’ll be damned if money were siphoned from me to rectify the situation.

Let them turn feral and devour one another. See if I care.

‘Single’ mothers do not happen by chance, they are the consequence of poor choices made in life: spreading legs indicriminately, not using birth control, not aborting or giving kid up for adoption when you are penniless etc etc. Therefore, you have better luck squeezing blood from a piece of rock than to strain an ounce of sympathy from me.

Migu is correct. The damage done to my children seeing their father dragged out of his house for addressing the lies he was being told by their mother was quite severe, in my opinion. It demonstrated to the children that the man of the house could be arrested based on lies by the woman of the house.

My eldest son said to me ‘Afte seeing how you and my father were treated by my mother I will never get married because I might get a woman like my mother’.

Well done mamma!!! You taught your boy that you are such a bitch that to be saddled with the likes of you would be a disaster. Women willing to emasculate and abuse their husbands tell the boys all they need to know. Stay away from cunts like this.

I think the biggest single cause of fatherlessness is the government’s criminalization of fatherhood.

I don’t believe there’s any coming back.

It’s over and done.


J@bberw0cky March 17, 2010 at 16:06

In my case, my mom divorced my high achieving Beta dad for a low achieving Alpha cad, but then turned around and raised me to be Beta?

What the fuck and why?

I think I know the reason, and that is because women are hypocritcally-irrational. Whatever reasoning suites the moment, no matter how flawed, is the reasoning they will use. They can’t even be consistently irrational. Nature played a horrible trick on them by connecting their logical-cognitive processes directly to the emotional core of their brain, thereby throwing a monkey wrench into both processes. They are emotional for no logical reason, and incapable of logic for emotional reasons. Evolution designed them this way for a reason. Nature made them irrationally selfish, as they are indivdually, biologically more important than individual men, yet often physically and mentally inferior, especially to outlier men. Evolution countered this real world imbalance by giving women a couple aces up their sleeves: sexual power and selfishness. Men on the other hand are irrationally confident, despite being biologically less important, even when not outliers, because nature needs men to take risks and battle it out on the hierarchy for the benefit of the tribe/species at the consequence of the individual. Even highly successful men work themselves into an early grave.

The old “I don’t need to go see a doctor.” complex.

Fighting feminism is basically fighting nature.

But so is building a house to protect you from the weather, or planting crops so you don’t have to hunt in the dangerous wild, or inventing governments and laws to create order.

As Kurt Cobain said, “Nature is a whore.” She’s also a selfish bitch.

The only time women aren’t completey selfish is when they are biochemically/psychologically addicted to their children through the gestation and birthing process, and even this trick of nature doesn’t seem to hold back their selfish ways consistently or for very long.

Keep in mind, cartoons are cute because cartoon characters look like babies, which means things that look like babies are considered cute by human minds. We evolved this way to keep us from killing our crying babies or eating them when we are hungry. Both males and females are designed to process “cuteness”. Young women look more like babies than men. More unfair advantages given to them by nature. I’m sure you all have read how I have a baby face. No cheek bones and not jaw line. I look very non-threatening. I believe this helped me get away with all sorts of trouble in school. I was a complete smart ass, but because I was cute and harmless looking, teachers let it slide. Women also found my cuteness very non-alpha, despite being a notorious fighter. I didn’t look the part. This is why I know women are just as shallow as men when it comes to looks, even though if we have enough other stuff to offer they will ignore looks. The reason men primarily rely on looks more than women is because women rarely have anything else to offer us, or are willing to give us. I would have married a rich 5 who would have taken care of me financially while I pursued art. I was never offered. A rich 5 still wants an Alpha or at least another rich man. NO chick will support a creative Beta no matter what his potential is. He has to be established. Potential doesn’t count to women who have money or looks, only to women trying to make the best play with their limited leverage.

This turned into a rant. Off to lunch.
