Blogger Bob Wallace has a great article today titled "The Manosphere and Blasphemy." There's not much we can add to his observations, since he essentially quoting the Game Cult's own statements.
There are some who deny or dispute that Game is actually a religion or a cult, but the excerpt Wallace cites makes that claim fairly undeniable. According to the passage he quotes---which was wholly endorsed yesterday by the Game Leader known as the Voice of God---the Person of Christ contains within itself all of the Game Cult's masculine archetypes.
It should be noted, of course, that there is no room for the feminine in any of this, because according to many Game theologians, women operate under a different spiritual system. In the Game paradigms, the Creation of Woman as a helpmeet as related in the Old Testament means not that the genders are designed to compliment or complete on another. It means instead that women were created for man's benefit in the same sense that dogs, horses, and sheep are. They also extrapolate the Doctrine of Original Sin into what they call The Sin of Eve. The latter belief they interpret to mean that women are inclined to rebel against God and men---hence it is necessary and justifiable for men to dominate and control them by whatever means necessary.
Such tortuous interpretations of Scripture are common to the Gamers and to cults in general. It's a common tactic of cults to graft on to themselves various parts of established religions to give themselves an aura of legitimacy. Thus the Moonies claim to be Christians; they claim however that Christ's prophecy of the Holy Spirit refers instead to the Reverend Moon. Or the Wahhabis, who claim that the messianic prophecy of the Islamic Caliphate in the Koran refers to themselves, et cetera. Of course, these novel sects invariably also teach that the current established faiths are corrupt, and they have come into existence to purify them. The Game Cultists universally argue that modern churches are corrupted by Feminism. This is central to their teaching, and misogyny and sexual perversion is, in the main, the common bond between them. Proof of this can be seen by the fact that many Gamers are admitted Atheists who "respect" the Christian veneer of Game; while others speak highly of Wahhabi Islam and that cult's notorious brutality towards women.
As one of Wallace's commenters noted, the Game Cult hijacked the American Men's Rights Movement and is now working feverishly to hijack American Christendom as well. They gain some superficial plausibility because Radical Feminism falsely teaches that Christianity endorses the subjugation of women---the Gamers simply flip that lie and claim that true Christianity believes exactly that and that anyone who believes otherwise is a Feminist. The reality is that traditional Christianity is the real antidote to Radical Feminism.
In addition to the passage that Wallace cites, the Game blogs and websites are replete with similar sentiments: that Game is taught in the Bible; that the Apostles studied Game; that Churches which their philosophy are apostate, and so forth.
Unfortunately, the Game Cult is gaining adherents, mostly in the United States where the contagion originated. Exposing it is the first step to defeating it.
In the wake of recent mass-murders in Europe, Obama's LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon sheepishly was compelled to admit today that several small-arms, not unlike those recently employed in German attacks were missing from a US base in Germany.
"Such cases are routinely dealt with internally," said a Pentagon spokesman.
So this is happening routinely? Unfortunately so, but we can't expect the military-worshipping American public or the Corporate Media---most of whom are subsidiaries of Pentagon contractors---to say much about it. Last month, for example, it was revealed that massive amounts of weaponry was stolen from CENTCOM in Jordan and sold on the Black Market; and that US-backed moderate rebels in Syria were selling their surplus to Al-Qaeda and others.
And of course there's the small matter of 90 atomic warheads at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey---which yesterday was surrounded by 5,000 angry anti-American protestors who hold Obama responsible for last week's failed coup attempt.
What the US military is suffering from is the leveling effects of 30 years of Cultural Marxism. The Cultural Marxists have emasculated our military and undermined its pursuit of excellence. We saw the same phenomenon in the 1990s in our public schools. Schools became increasingly more violent and crime-ridden, while academic and performance have declined. The same thing today is happening in our military.
There has always been a level of crime involved in the military, but today it is of a far different type. In the past, it involved mostly the relatively minor infractions young men might do when unsupervised: public drunkenness, visiting prostitutes, fighting, etc. Even those were dealt with sternly by base commanders who had the US Military's reputation to uphold. Today, military crimes are rife with robberies, sexual assaults, homicides.
On top of this, we are seeing dangerous levels of incompetence among the military leadership. Training accidents are becoming routine; air raids hitting the wrong targets; little or no security over arsenals; ships breaking down and getting captured in foreign waters, etc.
Just how weak our military is was displayed before the whole world in Obama's bungling of the South China Sea controversy. Obama thought that he could intimidate China with military grandstanding and passive-aggressive provocations. Xi Jinping called his bluff and Obama was forced to slink away in shame.
Rebuilding our military, like reforming our schools, will take years to accomplish, but there is currently neither the political or popular will to do either one. Trump has been the only candidate who's spoken of some military reform, but even seems to have no real understanding of the situation. When Reagan inherited the demoralized post-Vietnam military, he had mostly morale and logistical issues to overcome. Trump would literally have to rebuild from the ground up. (Hilary Clinton favors the status quo).
The military problem, like most problems Americans face, is a social one. First, we have to come out of our collective state of denial and admit that the military needs to be fixed. We also have to come out of our collective state of denial and admit that the military is exclusively a profession for heterosexual men. We also have to stop pretending that dumbed-down, politically-corrected schools can produce professional military material; or that outsourcing military goods and services to shady Wall Street defense contractors is somehow part of the superiority of the free market.
Doing things like these is what made our military once great; and they are what great militaries are still doing. But try and explain this to the Ameroboob, and you get knee-jerk Hollywood soundbites in response. Then, it's off to the Hookah Lounge or the Pride Parade and a weekend of outrage over so-and-so's insensitive remarks. Meanwhile, Russia will go on defeating terrorists and delivering humanitarian aid, and China will go on securing its shipping lanes, and we go on getting stoned and cursing the dead white males who fought for our---ummm---freedoms.
July has been a remarkable month in that we have seen more than the usual number of negative examples of masculinity. Two political conventions, Obama's failed military posturing, violent street riots, screaming media pundits, and the Game Cultists; all of them loud but hardly specimens of masculine strength and confidence.
Some of us wonder: what ever happened to the strong, silent types? We've chosen one for this weekend's viewing---next to Gunsmoke, the second-most popular Western of television's Golden Age: Have Gun Will Travel.
Have Gun Will Travel ran an incredible six seasons on CBS from 1957-1963, and even had a corresponding radio show which ran on CBS Radio from 1958-1960. The series followed the exploits of a Western hero known only as Paladin, a name taken from the Knights of the Round Table whose character he very much mirrored. Now today the archetype of the White Knight who believes in Chivalry is held up to ridicule---especially by those in the Manosphere who can never attain to ideals of this kind.
Paladin is a West Point graduate, a Civil War veteran who makes his residence in the Ritz-Carleton Hotel in 1870s San Francisco. There he mingles with Society; a connossieur of fine foods and wines and often accompanying a pretty girl to the opera. He reads classical literature (and the Bible!) until duty calls. Then he dons his black hat and six-gun and sallies forth in the cause of justice. Although Paladin is well-paid for his work, he will often work for free when the cause is a just one.
Paladin represents a masculine type that has largely disappeared from our culture and completely disappeared from the media: a combination of strength, intelligence, refinement and moral character. With that many masculine qualities combined in one character, it is small wonder that effete postmodern audiences are not keen about Have Gun Will Travel.
The idea of a chivalrous knight-errant, too, is repugnant to Postmoderns. Our culture recognizes only one masculine virtue: strength and, by extension, power. Hence we see the Cultural Marxists disempowering men, while those in the Manosphere/Alt-Right elevate raw strength and power into a fetish. But that is not real strength, it is simply domination.
True masculine strength is not based on some nebulous deference to the so-called Feminine Imperative, as some in the Manosphere claim; nor is some equally ethereal Patriarchal Oppression, as the Cultural Marxists believe. It is rooted in humility, a concept from Christianity and Ancient Chivalry. The truly strong man has humility enough to understand that he is still less powerful than God. Because he answers to God for his actions, he defends God's creatures less powerful than himself.
Those who worship power for its own sake recognize no God higher than themselves; and consequently must resort to instilling fear in others with continual displays of their strength. It is said by many that we, in 21st Century America, have become a nation of bullies---and this is why we have become so. The truly strong man gains power by earning the respect of others; it is those who are only superficially strong who must resort to fear.
Have Gun Will Travel is great viewing for its action, intelligent and morally-challenging plots. For those who would enjoy seeing too, what the masculine ideal really looks like, Paladin is a character-study about as close to it as one can get. It is available on DVD and episodes are widely available on Youtube, Dailymotion, and Vimeo.
As a side note, Richard Boone, who portrayed Paladin, was a producer and director in his own right, produced a dramatic variety series on NBC from 1963-1964 titled The Richard Boone Show which is also in the public domain and worth watching. Every episode opened with an immaculately-dressed Boone emerging from behind a theatre curtain amidst a crowd of tuxedoed men and elegant women, all celebrating. Boone would address the live audience: "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for joining us for tonight's presentation." He then waved his hand at those celebrants, "May I present the players in tonight's program."
Ahhhhh...those old days of male power and privilege! Before the personal became political people could actually enjoy life without feeling guilty about it.
An angry member of the Game Cult took some exception to our exposing the truth about them recently and left a warning that the Gamers were discussing us at one of their sites. What they are saying or discussing is really of no relevance to us. Fanatics are prone to behave in such ways.
What makes a fanatic is really not difficult to understand. Fanatics are people whose souls---or egos if you will---are so void that they must link their entire sense of self-worth to a cause. Psychologically healthy individuals, too, feel a need for an adherence to a greater purpose---an ultimate meaning in life. In healthy people this is typically filled by a religious faith or by a philosophy.
But religion and philosophy require study, exploration, and thought. This is not enough for the fanatic: who wants everything answered by a quick and easy formula; and to be part of a movement whose members are superior to all others. They invariably therefore see themselves at war with a world-at-large who fails to recognize their greatness. The fact that, for untold millennia, humans existed without their superior, secret knowledge is of no consequence to them.
The Game Cult, the Radical Feminists, and the Gay Mafia are fanatics whose entire Ego Identities are dependent on their sexuality and sexual practices, in the same way that other fanatics might adhere to a religious cult or political gang. The Gamers add an pseudo-Christian element to their beliefs---a cultish trick designed to give an aura of Divide Authority to their absurd beliefs. As an example, one Game leader who calls himself The Voice of God, published an article today explaining how Christ contained within His Being all the elements of Gamer Masculine Archetypes. How all this came to be unnoticed by 20 centuries of popes, saints, theologians, and mystics is not explained.
The most dangerous thing about the Game Cult is that is calculated to capitalize upon victims of our current social dysfunction. The Cultural Marxists have created a social milieu in 21st Century America where masculinity is not valued, men are marginalized and openly discriminated against. When the sickly specimens of masculinity like those displayed at both recent political conventions are held up as male role models; it is small wonder that the extremism of the Game Cult appeals to lost and socially alienated men.
But joining a cult and pretending to be an 'Alpha' solves nothing. All that the Game Cult actually contributes to society is to take the worst Cultural Marxist stereotypes of masculinity and convert them into virtues. What American men need to do to reclaim their rights and natural positions in society is to press for social reforms. The reasons why this not happening is not because they are Betas or Omegas or whatever. It's because American men have largely abdicated their responsibilities as fathers, guardians, and community leaders in exchange for Cultural Marxist promises: access to cheap and easy sex; unfair economic advantages; and no responsibility for the young---all things the Game Cultists fully endorse and encourage.
The Gamers do not represent Masculinity any more than the Male Feminists do; they are really two sides of the same coin. Recognizing them for what they are is the first step to reclaiming American manhood.
During his tour through Poland today, Pope Francis spoke out against recent Jihadist attacks in Europe---including one which claimed the life of an elderly French priest. He said that
"The word that is being repeated is 'insecurity', but the real word is 'war'. Let us recognize it. The world is in a state of war, in fragments. Now there is this one war, it is not organic, but it is organized and it is war. We should not be afraid to speak this truth. The world is at war because it has lost peace."
Which statement instantly drew down the wrath of the American Left; for daring to expose the fact that their own policies are directed at ethnically cleansing those who hold traditional values. His Holiness then added:
"This is not a war of religion. There is a war of interests. There is a war for money. There is a war for natural resources. There is a war for domination of peoples. This is the war. All religions want peace. Others want war. Do you understand this?"
Which statement immediately drew down the fury of the American Right; for daring to expose their hypocritical motives in conducting the War on Terror.
What is fueling the terror attacks in Europe and North America is not because there is an intrinsic flaw in Islam, per se, it is that Western governments have flooded armaments and support for sectarian violence in the Middle East. Since 2011, Western governments have flooded Wahhabi regimes like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and others who have armed brutal proxy wars in Libya, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. The Wahhabis are ethnically cleansing and enslaving Sunni and Shiite Moslems along with Christians, Jews, and other sects in these regions. It is no surprise then, that these proxies end up returning to the US and EU; armed, trained, and radicalized to carry on the Jihad in the very countries that sponsored them in the first place.
The weapons traffic into these regions is an estimated well into the billions of dollars as well as other organized crime activities. It is well documented that the Wahhabis are engaging in massive narcotics operations. Terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda have been caught manufacturing methamphetamines in both Syria and Iraq and transporting them into Wahhabi countries for export to the West. The Taliban---another Wahhabi gang---is increasing opiate production in US-controlled Afghanistan and shipping their produce to the West. And then there is the issue of the thousands of women and children kidnapped and sold into slavery by the Wahhabi terrorists. Where does anyone suppose they go? Follow the money. Slaves are not cheap; so they obviously aren't going to countries where is an abundance of cheap labor or where sex is easily available. Consider the governments and corporations who do business with the Wahhabi Regimes, and the reader can draw his own conclusions about where these slaves are going.
Pope Francis is right: religion is the excuse, not the reason, behind global terrorism. The Jihad is a product of Organized Crime using religious fanatics as proxies and pawns and hiding behind political policy as a cover. The Pope understands this and so a few governments like Russia's. Until we in the West come out of our state of collective denial and start seeing our own 'leadership' for what it really is, incidents like the ones in France will continue---to the power and profit of the very gangs pretending to fight it.
Julian Assange, the intrepid champion of transparency and the scourge of corrupt political gangs, released another batch of internal Democratic Party communications today. Assange told CNN that more were on the way, infuriating Democratic Party apparatchiks.
Recall that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton, Leon Panetta and a few other Democrat leaders now expressing outrage over these leaks were the same ones who authorized the NSA to commit blanket domestic espionage on innocent citizens---completely illegal of course---and recently argued before the Supreme Court the supposed 'right' of the FBI to hack private databases with no legal warrant.
Assange, it should be noted, is turning what we expected to be a fairly contrived and lackluster convention into a really newsworthy event.
The question which ought to be raised---but is prudently ignored by the US Government- Media Complex is: Just how good is American cybersecurity?
Besides the DNC, the last year has seen database breaches in the Pentagon, CIA, FBI, IRS, some government contractors holding sensitive information, and two massive and extremely serious ones in the federal Office of Personnel Management. China is believed to been behind one of the latter---a retaliatory move against Obama for his antics in the South China Sea---but still, the fact that China obtained personnel records of every federal employee is quite serious.
To underscore our vulnerability in cyberspace, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced today expanded funding for China's Cyber Warfare Force. China actually has a separate military branch, along with their army, navy, and air force, dedicated to Cyber Warfare. Xi believes that in future conflicts, control of enemy cyberspace will prove as important as conventional military objectives---and obviously he is correct about this.
How effective Cyber Warfare can be is being demonstrated in Yemen. A group of Yemeni patriots calling themselves the Yemen Cyber Army have been wreaking havoc on the Saudi invaders. At one point, they shut down the Saudi government websites---they also hacked and collected sensitive internal e-mails of the Saudi Royal Family. Many of these have been published, exposing to the Arab world the crimes and perversions of the House of Saud. It has also been said that leaked information has foiled several Saudi military campaigns.
What both Julian Assange and the Yemen Cyber Army are proving is that corrupt political elites like the Clinton Machine and the Saudi Royal Family are no longer untouchable. Cyberspace has given us a degree of power to challenge the power elite, just as it is breaking Academia's and Corporate Media's monopoly on information.
The best Cybersecurity a nation can engage in then, is the one that is most transparent. The capabilities of Cyber Warfare is also a great incentive for world peace.
The recent wave of Jihadist mass-murders has everyone here in the Prozac Nation agitated in its usual state of perpetual outrage, with one faction demanding that we ignore the threat and concentrate on burning cities and shooting down policemen; and the other faction demanding that we ethnically cleanse the Middle East with overwhelming military attacks. In spite of the fact that 15 years of the War on Terror has accomplished absolutely nothing--- while Sino-Russia intervention has nearly wiped out ISIS in less than a year---Ameroboobs still imagine that somehow the effete US and its NATO satraps are still relevant in the fight against Jihad.
Yesterday, for example, US pundits and radio shock-jocks are screaming for even deploying atomic bombs on the two remaining ISIS strongholds, Raqqa and Mosul, stupidly drawing analogies between those cities and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "There are no innocents in Raqqa and Mosul!" blared Michael Savage, among others. This in spite of the fact that the Allies have Raqqa surrounded, while the non-innocents in Mosul are rioting against ISIS occupiers even as we write. At least five ISIS officers---including Abu Shishani, the top commander of the ISIS military---have been killed recently by Iraqi civilian snipers in Mosul.
ISIS feels the same way about civilians as the Ameroboob Neoconservatives. This morning, ISIS carried out a terror attack in Qamashili, Syria---31 dead as of last count. Though not reported by the US Corporate Media, Qamishili is the hub of the Humanitarian Air Bridge---a joint UN/Russian operation which is delivering humanitarian aid from the UN World Food Program to inaccessible areas in Syria. Qamishili so far has received 17 flights and a whopping 645 tons of supplies. ISIS, along with Obama's moderate rebels, have made relief areas an especial target recently.
Of course, leveling Raqqa and Mosul will do absolutely nothing to stop the scores of thousands of Jihadist terrorists whom Western countries have voluntarily imported into their own lands; but it would make the Ameroboobs feel better about themselves.
One of the main reasons why the US Government-Media Complex is spewing contradictory messages about so-called Islamophobia one moment and draconian messages the next is because the narrative is being dictated by the same interests who are supporting the Jihad. Wahhabi Islamists---who fund the Jihadist movement---are also heavily invested in media outlets like News Corp and governmental policy advisors like the Council on American-Islamic Relations. It's noteworthy that none of these calls for obliterating places in the Middle East are ever directed at Wahhabi-run countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, or Qatar---and always against Moslem countries whose governments the Wahhabis oppose. Likewise with so-called 'Islamophobia'. We are always lectured by the Left to be tolerant of Wahhabis, but never tolerant of Wahhabi enemies like the Shiites who run Iran.
US defense contractors like Haliburton, Academi (aka Blackwater) and others are headquartered in the UAE, which---like Saudi Arabia---has huge stockholdings in the US media. There are US military bases scattered throughout the Wahhabi Shiekdoms---all of which are absolutist monarchies, and not one democracy.
The Corporate Media has naturally painted Iran as part of the Axis of Evil in the Middle East, although Iran's contribution to fighting the Jihad has been invaluable to the Allied war effort. Iran is a Shiite Moslem country---hated by the Wahhabis because Shia Islam promotes representative government (though heavily moderated by Islamic religious leaders). Iran is depicted as a state sponsor of terrorism in spite of the fact that they are actively fighting Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and Iraq and are supporting freedom fighters against Wahhabi aggression in Yemen and Bahrain.
Pundits here thunder that countries like Iran have never denounced Jihad, when they in fact regularly do.
So, what we can conclude from this is that the US Government and Wall Street really have no actual interest in fighting international terrorism---except to use it as a pretext to amass power and profit. And there are other interests involved: the Wahhabis are known to be deeply involved in international weapons, narcotics, and slave trafficking.
And just as typically, while Americans fight over how to address the Jihadi terror threat, American interest groups will keep the fight going---and laughing all the way to the bank.
