NATALIE HARP

          This morning I happened to catch a really good interview on Daniel Davis' podcast with retired White House official Lawrence Wilkerson. Davis, we might recall, was nominated by Tulsi Gabbard to serve as Deputy Director of National Intelligence, but was blackballed by Zionist and Christian Nationalist factions within the Administration for insufficient loyalty to Israel. The whole interview is about an hour long and covered many topics; but Wilkerson's most important point begins at the 27:53 mark. So far, Wilkerson alone among major pundits (so far) has figured out that the New Right and the Deep State plan to stage a domestic crackdown and retrenchment in the Western Hemisphere in the wake of the Foreign Policy disasters. 

         Most Americans prefer to remain willfully ignorant of these machinations, which we have been pointing out for some time. Wilkerson, of course, has sources from inside these agencies; we here have drawn the same conclusions from the Elites' own statements and publicly-published policies. However, as we saw during the Scamdemic, Martial Law, power-grabs, and wealth-transfers don't concern most Americans too much. The Elites had the prudence back then not to close the legal marijuana stores or turn off the adult websites, so most Americans were content to stay under curfews, don their masks, take their Loyalty Vaxxes, etc. They won't behave any differently if what Wilkerson suggests come to pass.

        As proof of this, the major news story this week has little to do with any of the above-mentioned domestic issues, or the geopolitical scene abroad that is collapsing rapidly. There is a far, far, far more important issue absolutely capturing Ameroboob attention, focusing on a White House Staffer named Natalie Harp.

           Now, most Americans hadn't heard of Ms. Natalie until a few weeks ago when it was revealed that she was part of the entourage who slipped off Air Force One during the disgraceful escape from the NATO Summit. Basically what she does at the White House is roughly equivalent to a "Girl Friday" or top secretary who are somewhat common (or used to be) in most large offices. She's 35 years old, and, to be honest, is really nothing more than a teenage groupie who never grew out of that stage. To be equally fair, there's no shortage of MAGA women who are of the same description.

          Natalie is reasonably attractive for her age, and she's always in close proximity to President Trump who is much older. This mere fact alone was enough to trigger a flurry of salacious gossip and innuendo from the Incels, Male Feminists, and homosexuals (both closeted and otherwise) among the Controlled Opposition and their flying monkeys in the Corporate Media. This naturally drew responses from their doppelgangers on the New Right.

        We won't go into any of these vulgar accusations here. I'm not related to any of these people and if any of these allegations are true, I think that Melania is more than able to deal with such things if what I've heard about Eastern European women has any veracity. These 'controversies' really speak to the low level of American Culture in the 21st Century; as well as the degree to which sexual repression dominates it. Since the 1990s, when we saw Hilary Clinton and her Lesbian cohorts initiate the so-called Gender Wars, Political Correctness in human sexuality has reached the state of outright paranoia. A whole generation has been indoctrinated with this garbage.

        I must confess that I do find this phenomenon an interesting Sociological study. This is a major cultural shift that has happened during my lifetime. True, Postmodern Americans are extremely easily manipulated and prone to mass panic attacks over the most inconsequential issues; but human sexuality and gender polarity are hardwired into our instinctual psychology. Outside of psychopathic regimes like the Cambodian Khmer Rouge was, there's really no historical parallel for it and even in Cambodia it was imposed by a totalitarian government with little popular support. Even during the European Middle Ages, the Church encouraged sexual purity, but that had more to do with enforcing the sanctity of marriage than outright Sex Negativity. 

       Psychology long has known that the pathology of sexual repression in the individual leads to overt aggression---either against the self or others whom the afflicted projects his neurosis. The novelty in the postmodern English-speaking world is that the pathology has become a collective neurosis. Since a society is a collective of individuals, we'd have to conclude from this that sexual neurosis is a widespread condition. 

       Because there is no historical precedent for a society at this stage of degeneration, the outcome for a society in this state necessarily is theoretical It isn't researched today because it has become a Third Rail Topic: an issue that certain interest groups would prefer never be discussed. In 1978, we have a glimpse of the psychodynamics involved by a writer who predicted much of our cultural decline who stated this:

       "Late 20th Century peoples have erected so many psychological barriers against strong emotion, and have invested those defenses with so much of the energy derived from forbidden impulse, that they can no longer remember what it feels like to be inundated by desire. They tend, rather, to be consumed with rage, which derives from defenses against desire and gives rise in turn to new defenses against rage itself. Outwardly bland, submissive, and sociable,  they seethe with an inner anger for which a dense, overpopulated, bureaucratic society can find few legitimate outlets."

      In this author's day, he was describing a growing societal trend which has grown today to a mainstream condition. His last sentence explains why our culture has grown so tolerant of homosexuality and other perversions while repressing natural sexual relations: the social engineers have legitimized the Gay Lifestyle as a politically-correct outlet for all of this suppressed libido. By the same token, all of this repressed rage also can be channeled by the Elites into political aggression on behalf of an authoritarian regime. He continues:

      "The growth of bureaucracy (note: both governmental and corporate) creates an intricate network of personal relations, puts a premium on social skills, and makes the unbridled individualism of the 'American Adam' untenable." (Note: which explains why these 'return to tradition' movements on the Right are bound to fail, if applied literally. Most such movements are superficial in the extreme, and hold fast to cultural sexual repression in various 'traditional' guises). "Yet at the same time it erodes all forms of patriarchal authority and thus weakens the social superego, formerly represented by fathers, teachers, and priests. The decline of institutionalized authority in an ostensibly permissive society does not, however, lead to a 'decline of the superego' in individuals. It encourages instead the development of a harsh, punitive superego that derives most of its psychic energy, in the absence of these paternal authorities, from the destructive, aggressive impulses within the id. Unconscious irrational elements in the superego come to dominate its operation."

        We see in this depiction why these outbreaks of sexual hysteria are not simply a strange social quirk, but a pathological symptom of a deeply broken society. This also explains why even minor allegations of 'sexual misconduct' are treated with an uncontrollable (and irrational) rage in our culture. What we're basically seeing is the same intense jealousy that we see in prepubescent boys at men who are successful with the women they desire. From the other side, women are taught that all men are predators and rapists by nature and this brings to their minds the prepubescent childhood fears of being attacked by unknown men. Into this void steps the Gay Mafia who tells them that their primordial fears are justified.

        So, when we see these outbreaks of anti-sexual hysteria, know that it comes from interested social engineers playing upon the undeveloped or repressed fears and envy being weaponized against healthy and natural sexuality. Make no mistake: this type of propaganda is deliberately inculcated for those very purposes. 

       

EPSTEIN AND EXASPERATION

        So, this weekend, I took an extended break at a colleague's currently disused ski chalet---it's sometimes necessary to get away from mass-insanity when it breaks out at this level. When the mob's aroused, there's no reasoning with it, and this whole national obsession with the Epstein Files is about as irrational as anything we've seen most of the last three decades.

      As we've written here before, I wouldn't mind writing about Epstein if there was something of substance to discuss. Jeffrey Epstein made his fortune as a shady hedge-fund manager and, like, many of that class, lived with one foot in the Federal Penitentiary and the other on a banana peel. He was cunning enough to get out of Wall Street before he got caught; bought a private island which functioned as a Black Budget site for our's (and foreign) governments. Epstein always sold to the highest bidder. There, Epstein engaged in the sorts of things an island sultan would do: he sold secrets, laundered money, engaged in blackmail, etc. He also donated some of the proceeds to various transhumanist, eugenicist, and globalist projects for various Deep States: sometimes acting as a front-man for those who wished not to have their names associated with such schemes. Epstein later died in prison in an obvious extrajudicial murder and Ghislaine Maxwell---one of the least important figures in Epstein's operation---was offered as a human sacrifice to divert public attention from everything else listed above.

    Now, if releasing the Epstein Files---assuming that such information really was just lying around an office somewhere just waiting to be exposed---then it would be worth discussing. Instead, Epstein had a seraglio of Playboy-bunny types at his island and some men who visited had sex with some of them, some of whom were considered, solely by statutory fiat, as legal 'minors' in some jurisdictions. Unfortunately, in our Postmodern Dystopia where the personal is political and men and women are supposed to hate and fear each other, men and women engaging in sexual activities is considered far worse than Treason, Extortion, Criminal Conspiracy and all of the other crimes Epstein was actually guilty of committing. Likewise, the release of the Epstein Files serve as a diversion from much more serious matters going on in our country and the world right now.

    I'm sorry if I don't consider the women on the island as 'victims.' Most were older than my Grandmothers were when they were already married and raising children. I actually graduated high school with married women---two of whom were pregnant by their husbands. 

   Attitudes about such things in America only changed within most of our lifetimes. Hilary Clinton---an obvious Lesbian---started much of the hysteria in the 1990s with her Feminist friends and their gender wars. It's still the Rainbow Mafia that's been keeping the Gender Wars alive all of these years. Consider who's been the loudest about releasing the Epstein Files: mostly it's been the Whacko Left Wing which hasn't talked about much of anything else for the last few months. These are people who see nothing wrong with men donning a wig and dress and hanging out on ladies' rooms; or allowing perverts to promote homosexuality to actual children of elementary school age, or permitting homo 'couples' to adopt and groom babies from birth. This is very important to keep in mind when they screech that teenagers 'can't give consent.'

   The Reactionary Wing of the Uniparty (a.k.a. the Republican Party) have many adding to the voices of hysteria---although they're usually more covert about their own perversions (at least their partisans see fit to give them a free pass). WEF Young Global Leader and proponent of transhumanism and eugenics Elon Musk largely was responsible for generating the current Epstein Hysteria.

     Musk, of course, has fathered an unknown number of children by In-Vitro Fertilization---probably as a rationalization for his own rumored impotence---because he believes that only those of "superior" genetics should procreate. For the rest of us rabble, he's offered animated characters to relieve sexual tension without the benefit of an actual member of the opposite sex.

    These are the specimens of the kinds of people who want to dictate to the rest of society who should be attracted to whom, and what is sexually inappropriate and what is not. As an example of what Media Trash Culture does consider an ideal relationship, let's look at the most hyped one at the moment:

    Yes: a 35 year-old pop star and a retarded NFL thug who looks like he thinks that the Scamdemic shortage of soap is still ongoing. In other words, the Corporate Media is just about the last place anybody should look for relationship advice---and certainly not for setting standards.

    Honestly, if we have reached a cultural point where we allow our so-called 'superiors' to decide our interpersonal relationships for us, then we've hit a social nadir under which they can dictate to us anything they want to---and it ought to be obvious by now that they're doing exactly that. It's how authoritarian regimes operate ideally and how cults operate in actuality. Civilized societies, in contrast, don't depreciate sexuality but Civilization is something that we seem to be moving away from with each passing year.

    

    

    

     

THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL, PART II

     In our last article, we discussed how the 'New Right' is a re-packaged version of the New Left, premised largely on the mythos that what Americans really want are authoritarian leaders who favor degenerate interest groups while virtue-signalling behind Hollywood and Madison Avenue caricatures of our shared values. The results speak for themselves: the Republican wing of the Uniparty has been sinking in the polls since Kamala's coronation. In reality, what people in Western Cultures really want are governments that defend our shared values while leaving the populace in peace and freedom---as our Declaration of Independence says that Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are inalienable Rights. In Europe---where the Right really are Conservatives, they win support and accomplish positive things, unlike their American counterparts who say one thing and do another. 

    As we also pointed out---despite the various labels that supporters of the New Right apply to themselves---an underlying philosophy directs the whole movement. This is evident from the recent experiences of Kyle Rittenhouse and Joe Rogan who discovered in short order that thinking for oneself has consequences. Some of us have observed too a growing phenomenon of troll armies and brigading going on whenever anyone questions the Official Counter-Narrative. 

    The fundamental philosophy behind the New Right is exemplified by the public faces operating as its spokespersons. We've mentioned people like Andrew Tate, Steve Sailer, Vox Day and others like them who sell their message to many Americans who have been alienated and marginalized by the extremism and fanaticism of the Left. What they actually offer, though, is the same thing that the Left does---the only difference being that they promise to alienate and marginalize other groups while wielding unaccountable power themselves. They make an especial fetish out of the idealization of success (as they superficially define it) and above all, the glorification of power. 

    Not surprisingly, a philosophy like this elevates Narcissism and unrestrained selfishness into part of their Moral Code. One of the New Right's slogans is Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings; the implication here being that the Alpha Leader is one who makes tough, reality-based decisions because it is the right thing to do. The idea has gained a lot of support because---like much of their philosophy---it contains a grain of truth. The Left over the last few decades has made a fetish of their own about Virtue-Signalling and phony 'compassion' as well as engaging in hypersensitive, almost infantile, social policing over anything and everything anyone might conceive of as offensive. 

   However, the New Right has quite a loaded definition of what 'facts' and 'feelings' actually are. Facts, as they define them, are rooted in ideals of Social Darwinism and Evolutionary Psychology; i.e. that the will of the strongest is what constitutes Reality. Their definition of feelings encompasses actual virtues with emotional components like love, empathy, compassion, mercy, proportional justice, fair play and many other things that have actual moral justification. The Alpha archetype that their converts are taught to become isn't such a glorious figure which it reaches its final fruition: but that is carefully kept out of sight.

     Disillusioned and alienated men see the ostentatious lifestyles of these influencers, the personality cults around 'based' politicians, and the fat bank accounts of Corporate Robber Barons and think, "I'd like to be like that." Being rich, popular, and having a large female fan-base is certainly not a bad thing on its own and a lot of us wish we had those things and it's perfectly normal to desire them. It's a well-established fact that part of Masculine Psychology is a striving for significance and the respect of his fellow-men. However, the New Right uses this tendency in men as a weaponized form of propaganda---much in the same way that advertisers sell brands of cologne, cars, etc. 

    The component of Masculine Psychology that one abandons by taking the Red Pill, however, are the positive coefficients of the tendencies listed above. Nature has implanted in men a striving for significance not for the purpose of self-aggrandizement, but for the purpose of being better providers for a family and being defenders of the community. In other words, the principle implies strength through service. In the Old Testament story of the Garden of Eden the first commandment given to Adam was to "maintain the Garden and defend it." The Churchian acceptance of the New Right's perversions of masculinity are derived from neo-Gnostic philosophies rooted in Mediaeval superstitions just as the secular component comes from neo-Scientism. 

   Where the targeted audience of these propagandists err is confounding their natural desire to be like the Alphas without understanding that the system is rigged so that one actually has to be what these Alphas really are. The higher one rises in their status-driven hierarchies is in inverse proportion to the deterioration of their characters---which is logical when one's ethical code boils down to the hypocrisy of professing virtue while practicing vice. The resulting personal instability which characterizes nearly everyone who---both currently and historically---put this theory into practice exhibits is a exemplary lesson of where these ideals lead. The rapacity of their own lust for status which knows no accountability to God or Man invariably drives such people on to the most amoral ruthlessness. Historically, the Third Reich with its 'Fuehrer Principle' was the reductio ad absurdum of this philosophy in policy. The 'Alpha Leaders' were driven to commit the most hideous crimes against humanity to please the whims ultimately embedded in the twisted mind of a single madman. It's hardly surprising that so many Neo-Nazis are drawn into the New Right.

       On a more interpersonal level, consider that to be like a character like Andrew Tate means having the ethics of a pimp in relation to women, the ethics of a slave-master in relation to those considered 'inferior' and a willingness to exploit and fleece innocent men seeking status in the world for personal gain. That's the price that Tate and people like him pay for being an 'Alpha.' In the broader political sense, to be an actual power-player in the economic or political hierarchy one has to be willing to firebomb school buildings or drive women and children into rivers to drown or to bankrupt entire communities to have all of these fat bank accounts and high poll numbers. It seems like a high price to pay for being based and Red-Pilled.

     This is why it is essential for the propagandists of the New Right to focus on the superficial elements and power while keeping the seamier side of the Alpha Lifestyle prudently out of sight. This dovetails into the whole strategy of the Republican Campaign this year: focus on the extremism of the Left without explaining exactly what they intend to do once they achieve power. That's what we need to be thinking about if we really intend to Make America Great Again. 

     

   

   

THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

       The main news this week is, of course, that Biden's hand-picked successor leading the transition to the Great Reset has chosen (or had chosen for her) a running-mate. The Controlled Opposition Media was right on top of things: christening the new duo as Cackling Kamala and Tampon Tim. It's so gratifying to see that the Conservative Movement is following in the footsteps of William F. Buckley and winning in Marketplace of Ideas with elevated discourse and well-reasoned positions. 

    As a side note, Tim Walz actually does have a few minor issues in his past; e.g. being a thuggish tyrant throughout the whole Scamdemic, instigating the BLM riots, rigging the Kangaroo Court that framed Derrick Chauvin and three other policemen as scapegoats for George Floyd's death, and pushing an abortion law that is by definition infanticide. However, the Republicans discreetly are choosing not to bring up these peccadilloes and many other crimes that Walz is guilty of committing---since that would put them in the awkward position of having to defend their own Party's complicity in all of them. 

     President Trump seems to be slowly coming to the realization that he's really only a figurehead and he seems to be running out of steam judging by his recent social media posts; but this week, Trump really hit the bottom of the barrel, doing an interview on Adin Ross' podcast. For those unfamiliar with Adin Ross, he is a Manosphere vlogger and probably the most abject sycophant of Andrew Tate.  Depressingly, Trump claimed that the younger men in his family were fans of Tate and Ross. 😔

    The above video clip can't help but convey the state of the Trump Campaign; we'll leave the readers to their own impressions on that. What's far more troubling is that these types of punks are growing increasingly influential on the New Right. In 2016, under the neologism of the Alternative Right, a loose collection of Manosphere activists and other unsavory characters tried (unsuccessfully) to shoehorn themselves into the MAGA Movement. A little-known fact is that this group did win several converts among Silicon Valley Technofascists and Megachurch fanatics whom since 2020 have pumped money into Public Relations and political donations to beef up their presence and polish their image. J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Elon Musk are three high-level examples of the foothold they've gained.

    The ideology promoted by Tate and Ross---and really they are the celebrity 'influencers' of a deeper philosophical strain---is an admixture of 19th Century Social Darwinism, 20th Century Evolutionary Psychology, and a revival of Ancient Gnosticism camouflaged with 21st Century Techno-Utopianism. It is characterized by contempt for democracy, contempt for women, and complete amorality in the pursuit of personal power. Power is what disciples of these theories hold to be the highest good of the individual man, although only a select few are destined to obtain it.

   To believe this theory one would have to believe that millions of years of Evolution---from lemurs to apes to Mankind---reaches its final state of perfection in Andrew Tate, or Vox Day, or Rollo Tomassi. It likewise requires one to believe that Elon Musk, or Peter Theil, or Vivek Ramaswamy---by virtue of their fat bank accounts--- are the final culminations of virtue and wisdom from the Ancient Greeks to the present day. Finally, through various secret revelations known only to initiates who've taken the Red Pill, a select few of now-alienated young men can rise to the status of such characters and be part of the New Order. Anyone outside of this chosen people are written off as envious losers, 'gammas' and really only fit, at best, to be used as chattel for the Supermen. The old Masters of Mankind once pretended to derive their authority from the Gods, the New Breed is content to derive it from monkeys. 

   Now there is no shortage of wits in the Punditocracy who believe that monkey-men are exactly what we need. Make no mistake about this: anybody who has read any of the scholarly studies of the last century on the social and sexual organization of primate communities can see at a glance that all of this nonsense promoted by the likes of Andrew Tate is based on no higher civilized level than that of the ape. We can also see at a glance that this becomes a positive danger to Civilization when it translates into social policy.

   What is the appeal of the New Right? True, a number of Americans today are alienated from a system that no longer functions for the benefit of any but the few. However, it would seem paradoxical that an ideology proposing the rule of the few should gain any credence with so many. Part of the problem lies in that much of what the New Right advocates or opposes has enough of a grain of truth to give it plausibility. The Whacko Left has marginalized ideals like faith, family, liberty, and traditions so that the superficial appeal posing as an alternative draws people into the New Right's web of lies. However, when one digs very far below the surface, what we see is all of the negative stereotypes and caricatures of Conservatives elevated into a Standard of Value. 

   The examples of this are numerous. Feminists portray traditional families as evil patriarchies dominated by brutal unaccountable fathers---the New Right holds this up as an ideal household arrangement. Socialists portray all businessmen as greedy exploitative swine---the New Right tells us that is an attitude that successful men must emulate. If the Left tells us that masculinity is toxic and abusive towards women, then men must embrace such tactics and employ them enthusiastically. The Left lampoons Conservatives as moral hypocrites, so the New Right tells us that being a hypocrite is only being a smart operator who knows how to game the system. So on and so forth. The worst part of it is that criticizing any of these positions gets one accused of 'siding with the Left,' as if these were the only two alternatives.

   The 'New Right;' the 'Alt-Right;' the 'Dark Enlightenment;' the RedPills; Christian Nationalists---whatever these people call themselves, they are not Conservatives. They are the Reactionary Left in reality, and we need to repudiate them as foes of free men, not embrace them as allies. 

   

   

    

   

UNDER THE RUG

     So in the midst of the Media hoopla ahead of this Night of Nights in the Atlanta Thunderdome, issues actually effecting the future of our Civilization continue being swept under the rug. Blogger InsanityBytes had an interesting post up today relating to a scandal and cover-up involving Pastor Robert Morris, who leads a Texas-based Megachurch. 

    In the interests of full disclosure, I must confess that I don't know all the details of this case. Our culture's definition of sexual abuse is so elastic that skepticism isn't unwarranted; but at the same time, the known character of most of these Megachurch leaders and the Boards who run their enterprises also warrant not dismissing such allegations out-of-hand. The important thing about IB's article is that she has been the only writer so far who's actually discussed the impact of these scandals on the fathers involved. 

   "I wanted to speak about secondary victims, in this case, the victim’s family, especially her father. I don’t know his whole story. but in part he was angry and probably wanted to kill the man who had hurt his kid. We do know he confronted them. What some people don’t understand about child sexual abuse and an ensuing cover up is that you’ve just victimized a whole lot of people. The safety and well being of children and their healing is a priority, but I mean, often a father is decimated in the process, too. I’m not trying to speak for him, but I’m sure he must have struggled a sense of betrayal, with his own regrets and inadequacies, his own inability to protect one of his children through no fault of his own. I have no idea how he may have also wrestled with faith, wondered if that too may have been a deception, but those kind of things would be likely."

   I would say that based upon my own observations and experiences that this is very likely true. In Masculine Psychology, which our paid 'experts' today either dismiss as nonexistent or smear as inherently 'toxic,' the sense of feeling powerless in the face of blatant injustice, especially when it ties men's hands and prevents them from acting in self-defense or the defense of others is devastating to man's sense of self-worth and dignity. There's nothing quite like the anguish that a man feels when he knows that, on equal terms, he could prevail but is obliged to chafe knowing that the party who's injured him is wholly untouchable and could swat him down as easily as one would use a fly-swatter. 

   Young boys (at least the normal ones) have an instinctual hatred for bullies. Our first encounters with them reinforces our sense of duty to protect and defend. It's part of a young man's growth process and prepares him for his future social duties. Our rotten society, though, brutally suppresses masculinity not only boys, but in young men: and the despair that this generates is reflected in what is now called the Crisis of Masculinity and is reflected in things like the mounting suicide rates among younger men. 

    Suicide rates don't even include numbers of deaths by addiction or accidents which may have involved suicidal ideation and which also disproportionately affect young men. Our social policy of suppressing masculine instincts and psychological constructs doesn't make them go away; it simply causes men to repress them and this not infrequently builds into rage. The fact that the majority of mass-shooters are also male is another consequence of this policy. The more that our 'experts' spout off about 'toxic masculinity' and the need for further repression, the more that these violent reactions occur. Blaming the Scamdemic, access to guns, online radicalization, or lack of access to mental health facilities are the excuses---not the reasons---for this crisis. 

   The Crisis in Masculinity is not only reflected in other outward signs such as the widespread trend of drifting into homosexuality or otherwise men dropping out of society and their traditional roles. Those things involve repressed anger too, though it is expressed passively. An often overlooked reaction is the tendency of repressed males to seek vicarious expression in a strong leader who knows how to play on this psychology. This is a real danger. We saw it play out in Europe after WW1 when men who were disillusioned by the sting of military defeat endured additional depreciation by the Liberal social orders that rose up in the aftermath. They turned to manly Alpha leaders like Mussolini and Hitler who symbolically gave voice to that inner rage. The growing appeal of such caricatures of Masculinity in our own culture is no accident. 

    

       IB mentions the spiritual effect on men and it does have that effect too. It's noteworthy that in this connection, the Catholic Church holds two mortal sins: Unbelief and Despair. The first is self-explanatory, it denies God's existence; the second though denies God's goodness. Men are especially vulnerable to this when spiritual leaders have let them down, as most of our Megachurches do. It's excruciating enough for a man to realize that that his nation and culture have forsaken him, but when he becomes convinced that God has forsaken him too, he is truly beyond help. 

     Tonight, as we'll be treated to some of the worst examples of American Masculinity, we ought to reflect what all of this says about our culture and not simply sweep it all under the rug hoping that some Superman is coming to save us from ourselves. 

  

FATHERS' DAY IN CLOWN WORLD

    For some unknown reason, we in the Prozac Nation like to pretend that national holidays still have any actual meaning. Today is Fathers' Day, probably the most meaningless one of them all, and that's saying a lot. I suppose in the case of kids who grow up in families like Pete Buttigieg's where they have two dads it's a big deal; or cases like based and Red Pilled pundit Bruce Jenner or Health Secretary Dick Levine who used to be dads but are now moms, it might be more confusing. To keep pretending though that fathers---or men in general---are respected in this society sounds more like a cruel joke than a solemn occasion. 

     In fact, the state of American men has gotten so bad that after 30-40 years the experts are just now noticing that there is a problem. A report from Military.com investigated the declining numbers of men joining the US Military and made what we're sure will be a shocking revelation to us all.

    "Experts pointed to broader issues with American men, including a national crisis of masculinity. Rates of suicide and drug overdoses have risen, while men have become less likely to attend college or build a career. In fact, the media outlet said, US men are slowly disappearing from the general workforce. The trend goes way beyond military recruitment,” said Ronald Levant, an Ohio psychology professor and former president of the American Psychological Association. “It really has to do with social change. I think there is an amotivational syndrome that seems to permeate a lot of young men today. They’re just not motivated to do very much.”

    So, American men are feeling deeply discouraged and alienated these days. Seriously, who knew? This is almost as major a revelation as yesterday's breaking news report informing us that the New York Times has an anti-Conservative bias. Thankful we should all be that our Expert Class is right on top of these things. 

    Never ones to let a good crisis go to waste, the Controlled Opposition pounced on the story to shore up their pathetic poll numbers. To bolster the narrative that America's crisis of masculinity only started under Biden, the President-in-Exile spoke at a campaign rally hosted by shady Neocon front-group, Turning Point USA. TPUSA is headed by Christian Nationalist and Deep-State spook, Charlie Kirk; is heavily funded by shady Neocon think-tanks, and features WEF Young Global Leader Dan Crenshaw as one of its top promoters. The President-in-Exile vowed to "end gender insanity" being promoted in our institutions. So said George Bush in 2000; and Trump seems to have forgotten a Proclamation he himself made in 2019:

    "As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions that LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation. My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invites all nations to join us in this effort!"

   He also seems to have forgotten that the Congressional leaders with whom he spoke this week lined up with the Democrats only two years ago to enshrine homo 'marriage' as national law. Never mind, though: if we hold our noses and vote for the GOP, it will all be different this time and the crisis in masculinity will disappear magically along with all of our other problems. 

   It ought to be obvious that the crisis in masculinity is something that we're not simply going to vote our way out of and hope that some Alpha Superman will fix the problems that American parents, churches, and schools largely brought upon themselves. Decades of looking the other way and sacrificing the long-term good of the nation for short-term personal interest has brought us to this point. On a large nation-wide scale, realistically the situation is probably irreversible. There is neither the political nor popular will even to address the problem. The only solutions coming out of the Controlled Opposition is to restrict immigration (which we probably need) and various top-down schemes that are more show than substance. 

   The reality of the situation is that, unless the will to change suddenly materializes, what is a crisis in the 2020s is going become a national emergency circa the 2040s. Unfortunately, the average American's idea of the future is what happens next week and ignoring issues until it's too late is normative in the approach to social policy. As long as we can make it all somebody else's problem we simply don't care: and that's what caused the crisis to begin with. 

   

    

   

     

ON PIGSKINS, SHEEPSKINS, AND A DYING CULTURE

      So this weekend, Social Media Trash Culture and the Churchian Right are engaged a major ratings and clickbait blowout because some sports figure who played in this year's Taylor Swift Bowl (or whatever they call the Super Bowl these days) made some remarks at a college commencement speech. Given the fact that most colleges and universities are basically scam operations selling degrees, expertise, and influence (at very high prices) and that our culture places little to no value on merit that supposedly comes with these commodities, one would think that we'd have higher priorities that what someone says at these fake displays---a relic of a once-great system that today only serves to create the illusion that education is really a national priority. 

    

     Harrison Butker, who made the speech, is himself a graduate of Georgia Tech, an institution heavily tied into Big Pharma. A product of the NCAA Money-Machine, another corrupt offshoot of the Academic Mafia which rakes in billions for these institutions. The athletes involved in this scam, like other graduates, typically go from four years of being celebrated and rewarded to being dumped on the streets to sink or swim once they're of no further use to the schools. Also like other graduates, only a small percentage ever go on to any kind of success in their chosen fields. 

    However, the American public would rather not think about any of that. Every year, these phony ceremonies have to have some kind of controversy or scandal around some speaker to divert attention away from seriously thinking about what a fraud and a cheat the whole system is to begin with. 

   Butker apparently said something to the effect that being a home-maker was a noble calling for women. In a culture where abortion is considered a sacred rite and murdering entire families is simply the cost of doing good business, such remarks were bound to be met with contempt. Between the Whacko Left Wing---which thinks that depopulation (i.e. genocide) is a worthy social goal and the Churchian Right---who value women and children slightly less than the the White Slave traffickers of 12th Century Turkey; one can well imagine what the tone of these online firestorms sound like. 

     Rather than descend into the gutter, let's talk about what being a homemaker actually involves. The Old Testament, with its often very succinct way of expressing profound truths describes the creation of Eve and by extension tells us about the Divine origins of complimenatrianism, which is considered on the level of obscenity in our postmodern dystopia though its practice was largely responsible for building civilization. The division of labor, where both genders worked together in the spheres for which they were best suited built societies. In fact, up until recently it was well-understood that genders become more specialized and differentiated as they advance. 

    Contrary to what Feminist revisionists and Churchian reactionaries teach, as families grew into communities, men produced and provided while women ran domestic affairs in the home. In Classical Times, women had the status of 'property' more because of their recognized value than because of any patriarchal oppression or silliness about the sins of Eve. This continued until our 'enlightened' generations believed that the Corporate State was more valuable than the family. Being a 'homemaker' had women in charge of maintaining everything relating to the household: even in large estates they managed the servants, the accounting, the logistics of supplying the goods and services for the household---it was not a drudgery or slavery as often portrayed by both its modern detractors and promoters. 

   In Ancient Rome, for example, one of the most obscure festivals was held every December exclusively for women. Little is known about this festival, since only women participated and they were sworn to secrecy. Even the name of the actual Goddess honored isn't known: she was simply referred to as the Good Goddess. Even the Caesar had to leave his own home while this event was going on and everyone from his wife to the servant-girls participated. Cicero told a story about how one of his old school-mates disguised himself as a woman to learn its secrets but was discovered and badly beaten by the celebrants. Apparently, the unenlightened Romans didn't realize that men could become women simply by identifying as one.

   With our advances in technology, women have the opportunity today to be both homemakers and to pursue interests outside of the home. The misogynists on the Left, however, don't want them in the home at all; while the misogynists on the Right don't want them out of the home for any reason. 

  While I agree with Butker's sentiments, the whole debate is really a distraction from how little our culture values women's traditional roles and how truly worthless we believe them to be. Consider that the skyrocketing rates of female infertility, gender dysphoria, suicide, and addiction among young women isn't even a topic worthy of discussion. Nor is there much concern about the fact that the US---in less than 20 years---has fallen to the bottom of developed countries in infant mortality rates or the numbers of women who have died in childbirth. 

   The reality is that our culture cares no more about women than it does for children; and this whole debate is only a smokescreen for people to pretend that they do. Access to unrestricted abortion, easy divorce laws, the social criminalization of all but homosexual sexuality, the practical forcing of women into male positions and so-called 'trans-women' into female ones---all of these are symptomatic of a deeply misogynist culture. We mouth platitudes about how we esteem women and motherhood while doing exactly the opposite. But like the Academic shows where Butker appeared; it's all about keeping up the illusion rather than facing the reality. 

RAGE RITUALS

     Anybody living in the Postmodern English-speaking world well understands that outrage is more or less a defining characteristic of our society. It's not that people focus reasoned or righteous anger at gross injustice; what we tend to witness in just about any community setting today is something more like a temper-tantrums or schoolyard playground fights except that people well beyond the toddler stage engage in it. Trigger Warnings are even put out as disclaimers on some news stories or opinion pieces. Even in my small town recently the library's copier was severely damaged after someone went berserk and started trashing the place.

    As surprising as it sounds in today's America, these outbursts not infrequently result in consequences, such as the case mentioned above where the outburst occasioned Malicious Mischief charges. Apparently, however, some opportunists have figured out a way to cash in on Ameroboob Anger: introducing the Rage Ritual. 

    Rage Rituals are a variation on an earlier scam from the 1970s called Primal Scream Therapy. The earlier version mostly preyed on people of higher income levels who never grew out of the rich spoiled brat stage---adjusted for inflation, it cost about $45,000 of today's dollars. The modern version is much less expensive though consumers don't get the advantage of a private setting: they get a stick and sent out to a secluded spot in the woods. 

    According to the promoters of this new trend, the overwhelming number of participants in these programs are women, whom they claim have an excess of repressed rage in our culture. Speaking for myself, I haven't especially noticed much actual repression among the fair sex; but I suppose that we must defer to the experts here and ignore the complaints about mean girls and videos of women brawling on social media as fake news.

   I suppose too that, in a culture where wearing diapers is considered a profound political statement, this kind of trend was inevitable. However, an especially troubling aspect of it is that there is a strong element of the occult involved. 

  "For years, self-described 'Spiritual Fairy Godmother' Mia Magik has led rage rituals in Scotland. She began doing them for herself and her friends, before adding them as an option to her wellness retreats...During the rage ritual, Magik guides the participants to sit with their deepest emotions, walking them through warm-ups and deep breaths. Typically, she tells them to conjure 'every person who’s ever crossed you, who’s ever hurt you, who’s ever ignored your boundaries or taken advantage of you or abused you in any way.'" 

   This is diametrically opposed to what most traditional religions teach. Could anyone imagine Jesus reacting to injustice or abuse in this way? Religious teachers taught that one overcomes Evil with Good: or to put in clinical terms, one learns firsthand how abuse and injustice actually affects people and they mature spiritually either by practicing better behavior or helping others who experience the same feelings. To put it in more mundane terms, it's part of growing up. Running around screaming, striking, and breaking things is neither spiritual, reasonable,  nor mature. The occult aspect of this kind of 'therapy' teaches one to focus on oneself and symbolically striking out in revenge. 

  Rage Rituals are a regressive form of behavior, from the clinical standpoint. As practiced, they actually reinforce the tendency to react violently under stress. Given how much these charlatans change for these sessions, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes if one of their clients gets the idea that they may have been cheated. 

  In the larger scheme of things, the rage that we constantly see in our culture is not only fanned by media and political propaganda (and both our politicians and media figures set terrible examples of behavior), it is the direct result of the decline of the family, schools, and churches: figures once associated with civilizing authority. As one social psychologist stated: "The decline of institutionalized authority in an ostensibly permissive society does not, however, lead to a 'decline of the superego' {i.e., the Conscience} in individuals. It encourages instead a harsh, punitive superego that derives most of its psychic energy in the absence of authoritative social prohibitions from the aggressive, destructive impulses within the id {i.e. primitive instincts}. Unconscious, irrational elements come to dominate its operation. As authority figures in modern society increasingly lose their credibility, the superego in individuals increasingly derives from childhood's primitive fantasies about his parents---fantasies charged with sadistic rage---rather than from internalized ego ideals formed by later experience with loved and respected models of social conduct."

   In other words, the long-standing neglect of children in our culture is starting to bear its fruits, of which both Rage Rituals and their less-organized and spontaneous eruptions are a symptom. These are social problems entirely of our own making; and we need to stop pretending that it will all go away by denying or ignoring it. 

  

    

   

RED PILL ACOLYTE JAILED IN NYC ATTACKS

      Last week, police in New York City caught up with the perpetrator of at least some recent random attacks on women. Daquan Armstead, aged 31, of the Lower East Side Manhattan, reportedly was rather amazed that the authorities should take his past-time of walking up to ladies and punching them in the head so seriously. “It's different with men,” Armstead allegedly told cops, the DA’s office confirmed. “They don't test you like women do. You have to check women sometimes.” 

         

    Those who follow the near-cult like activities of a certain faction of the Manosphere probably recognize at once that statements about women testing men and having to check women sometimes are stock-phrases regularly used by the groups loosely defined as 'Red Pills': PUAs, MGTOW, Game-Planners, Alt-RINOs, etc. So where do we suppose that Amstead picked up such ideas? 

    It could very well be because a number of these characters have been getting attention lately from top media figures. A few years ago, a number of Red Pill blogs collapsed after exposures of corruption and various acts of violence connected with their readership began occurring on a regular basis. Since the beginning of this decade, a few of the old-school diehards like Vox Day and Rollo Tomassi and new crop of grifters raised on their poisonous ideologies have re-emerged on social media and video programs. Despite, by their own admissions, being hostile to traditional Conservatism, they've been embraced by our new and very woke breed of Conservatives. Andrew Tate, Steve Sailer, Doug Wilson, the late Gonzalo Lira (aka Coach Red Pill), Douglas Mackey (aka Ricky Vaughn) have all been praised by Tucker Carlson---who should know better---while a few other cretins like Jack Murphy and Anthime Gionet (aka Baked Alaska, among other aliases) have been turning up on allegedly Christian and Conservative websites and white-washed of all of their foul deeds and words. 

   While the Red Pill philosophy recognizes a difference between genders, it rejects the traditional ideals of Compensation and Complimentarianism, and advocates instead a degraded and debased form of Male Supremacy which, if one analyzes it, is really nothing more than Radical Feminist anti-male stereotypes inverted by the Red Pills into a system of virtues. 

     Daquan Armstead isn't receiving the same martyr status among the Red Pills themselves as they usually bequeath upon violent actors within their movement. There are a number of White Supremacists in the Red Pill Cult too, and they tend to be a bit squeamish about praising a Black man, no matter how sympathetic he is to their beliefs. Likewise, the skunks in the Corporate Media have been downplaying Armstead's probable connection to the Red Pills for the same racialist reasons. Radicalized non-White males don't fit the Official Narrative. Racialist narratives and counter-narratives are, like the so-called 'Gender Wars,' part of the Strategy of Tension, and must follow a close script. 

    However, minus the White Supremacist nonsense, the Red Pill actually has a sizable following among American Black men. The reason for this is because our culture is highly anti-male and men of all races are marginalized and depreciated. American men are relegated to spending their most productive years in an atmosphere of chronic ennui of under-and unemployment and presented with a generally hopeless future. Suicides and addictions are rampant among American men of all races, and there are few to no positive outlets for us. 

    Some of the more vulnerable men seek a scapegoat; and the Red Pill Philosophy preys upon such vulnerabilities at a man's deepest source: his innate fear of insignificance both economically and sexually. The latent homosexuality and 'prosperity gospels' of the Red Pills scapegoat American women---who, by and large, are themselves victims of the same Strategy of Tension, although it manifests itself differently in Feminine Psychology. 

    Specimens like Daquan Armstead are not symptomatic of our society's failure to deal with mental illness, as the Corporate Media claims. He's a specimen of society's failure to live up to its supposed goals of freedom for every individual to live up to his highest potential. Characters like these are exactly what's produced in a society where 10% of the population holds 100% of the wealth and power. Mediaeval Europe---which had a similar balance of social power---was also characterized by outbreaks of random violence, sexual perversion, and mass-hysteria as well as widespread substance abuse. 

   'Taking the Red Pill' doesn't cure anything: it merely changes the symptoms. The root of America's problems is essentially a spiritual one: where people have forgotten the basic principle of our nation's founding that we are all equal under the authority of our Creator, and instead pursue selfishness and self-aggrandizement at the expense of others.  

    

    

O.J. SIMPSON'S GHOST HAUNTS THE LEGAL SYSTEM

     After the Iranian Military's show-of-force this weekend, Neocon warhawks mostly have been slinking away from their previous hardline rhetoric and trying to shift public attention back to other issues. People might start asking embarrassing questions about the pathetic state of our own military and especially the continual failures of our over-priced privatized military equipment and incompetent intelligence services. Also noticeably absent were any stories about taxes---today being the April 15th IRS Filing Deadline. With the GOP in control of Congress and fighting to borrow another trillion or so from BlackRock to fund expanding Domestic Espionage and Corporate Welfare, the Establishment Republicans evidently thought that this too would be sensitive issue.

  Today, most of the stories from the Controlled Opposition focused on one of the kangaroo courts investigating the President-in-Exile and promoting the GOP's new woke position on Abortion. Of the Trump Trials little need be said. The Republicans have done nothing to address these abuses of the Legal System, other than to encourage more billionaires to donate to Legal Defense Funds. Besides, with Americans' obsession with sex scandals, these trials are good free publicity and drives up media revenue. Only a decade or so ago, Tort Reform was actually a major Conservative campaign issue. Tort Reform was about instituting badly-needed reforms to bring our wholly dysfunctional Legal System under some kind of control and restore its original intents and purposes. Conservatives soon found that they too could profit from the System, and it has been a long time since I've heard any political figures seriously discussing Tort Reform during a campaign or anywhere else. 

    The Trump Inquisitions coincide this week with the recent death of former NFL star, O.J. Simpson. Simpson was a national icon, who like many American men of achievement, ended up dying in poverty and opprobrium. In 1994, Simpson was accused---on rather slender evidence---of murdering his wife who'd cuckolded him and was living with her bad-boy lover. The Media Scum billed this as The Trial of the Century. The commercialization, sensationalism, and exploitation of that trial hasn't been equaled since, though certainly not for lack of effort on the Media's part. 

   Thinking back thirty years ago brought up some painful memories. That whole affair was a display of Trash Culture written in bold letters. One literally couldn't escape it. It was the subject of every headline, every talk-radio and TV newscast, and gossip anywhere one went. Judges, lawyers, witnesses all became overnight celebrities. Not having an opinion on the Simpson Case was greeted with as much social horror as not wearing a mask during the Scamdemic---arguably even moreso. There were even a few local talk-shows which billed themselves as O.J.-Free Zones so that people could talk about actual issues. 

  The big day finally came when the Jury had to make a decision. At the time, the Media Rats were actually lobbying the State of California to repeal certain laws so that they could film Simpson's execution on live TV (pay-per-view, no doubt). To the Media's dismay, the Jury took a half an hour to acquit Simpson of all charges. The Media's fury over this decision was milked for cash selling outrage over the supposed 'Miscarriage of Justice' for several more months. 

  As for O.J. Simpson, he was put in Double Jeopardy and bankrupted at a sham Civil Trial, was blacklisted everywhere, and ended up in prison after being reduced to burglary before finally dying in obscurity. Meanwhile, the Media Moguls and the Lawyers got rich, famous, and lived lives of luxury. 

  

    O.J. Simpson's fate is a metaphor for the state of Postmodern American Society. Simpson was an example of what happens to American men who take the whole mythos of lifting yourself by your bootstraps, and being the best you can be too seriously. In many ways, the Trump Trials are part of the same train set in motion with the Simpson Trial. America today is a Mediocrity and not a Meritocracy and so men and women who actually achieve things have to be cut down to size occasionally as human sacrifices so that everyone can feel secure in their illusions that nobody is really better than they are. Trash Culture justifies all of this with the lie that no one is above the Law; what they actually mean by that statement is that nobody is above the gutter-level of Postmodern Society and its representatives posing as defenders of some solemn principle of Justice. 

   Thankfully, God has spared me much personal interaction with the Court System and even though any cases I was involved in were over soon and resolved in my favor, I always felt like taking a bath afterwards. The sight of these judges in their black robes on their thrones with their gavels and armed guards; forcing people to rise for them and bow to them and address them with fawning titles like Your Honor all the while holding people's actual interests dependent upon their arbitrary wills and the supposedly learned arguments of bullying and belligerent attorneys never struck me as especially compatible with a democratic society. Even in criminal cases where the guilty party deserves punishment, the ceremonies, the pomposity, and the showmanship of the whole procedure is simply appalling.

  It's doubtful that in today's political and social climate that Tort Reform is going to make any kind of a comeback anytime soon. These legal farces make too much money and create too many useful distractions for the ruling Elite. Legal Reform wouldn't help anybody in actual power, since controlling the System works for their benefit.
