Another million dollars for women

FYI:

Recipient Name: Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters
Location: Edmonton, Alberta
Date: 2009-12-02
Value: $1,000,000.00
Type: Contribution
Purpose: This three-year project will bring together provincial / territorial shelter organizations across Canada to work to improve the access to and quality of services for women who are in abusive situations, with a focus on Aboriginal, immigrant and rural women. The project will coordinate the national exchange and implementation of proven, promising, and innovative practices and service delivery models across Canada, through the establishment of a national network, including a strategy and action plan to link women’s shelters across Canada. The project will also pilot, implement and evaluate one proven practice across Canadian shelters. By establishing a strong national voice, shelters will be able to act together to identify and effectively address their common issues and goals. Their work will be carried out in collaboration with stakeholders, including government departments, community-based service providers, and women who are victims of family violence.
Comments: Multiyear project

In contrast, there are no government-funded shelters for battered men and “their” children, no funding for men’s issues, but men have much shorter average life expectancies.  Men comprise the vast majority of serious or fatal job injuries, the vast majority of heart attack victims and receive far less attention in gender-specific medical research.

Still, the all-pervasive propaganda campaign that alleges that women are victims of men’s oppression marches on…

Is the world overpopulated?

At the website for Fathers for Life, the web page that displays population pyramids for selected countries is the sixth-most-popular web page at the site.

That web page has a footnote I thought to quote in the following.  I want to show the footnote because of an addition I made to it today on account of something I read that supports the assertions I made in the footnote.  I had said that all of the world’s population could fit into a land area the size of Alberta, with a house for each family (of three, on average) and enough land for each house to supply some of the food each family needs.

I know that some people feel that assertions like the ones I made are ridiculous, but, believe it or not, what I read today makes the assertions I made look puny.

Read the footnote and the information I found today.

Is the world overpopulated?

If all of the world’s people were located in the Province of Alberta (just a touch smaller in area than the State of Texas) and each were to have an equal share of all of the land in Alberta, then each of the world’s people would have 98.6m2 of land to live on.

Assuming that the average household consists of three people, a family of three would have enough space (3,184 ft2) for a moderately-sized house and a garden large enough to grow some of the food consumed by the family.

  • Alberta land area: 661,565 km2, 255,541 miles2
  • World population: 6,706,993,152 (Source: CIA World Factbook, July 2008 est.)

See also: The 1989 Montreal Massacre in the context of men’s sacrifices, 2008 12 07, by Professor Jeffrey Asher.

Update 2010 08 26: I don’t know whether anyone ever read the assertions contained in this footnote.  If the assertions were read, then everyone having read them must have thought that they were so outrageous and so totally-out-to-lunch that they were not even worth commenting on, because no one ever commented on them.  That is odd, given that so many people claim that humanity must be drastically reduced so as to avert ecological catastrophes of epic proportions.  However, consider something else, Phytofarm, that is: farming by means of the use of artificial light.

At the current efficiency of PhytoFarm, the entire present population of the world can be supplied from a square area about 140 miles on a side - about the area of Massachusetts and Vermont combined, and less than a tenth of Texas. This represents only about a thousandth as much land as is needed for agriculture at present (give or take a factor of four; for illustrative purposes greater exactitude is unnecessary). And if for some reason that seems like too much space, you can immediately cut the land space by a factor of ten: just build food factories ten stories high, which should present no more problems that a ten-story office building. You could economize even more and build a hundred stories high, like the Empire State Building or the Sears Tower. Then the surface area needed would be no more than the space within the corporate limits of Austin, Texas, to pick the first alphabetically among the many U.S. cities large enough.
PhytoFarm techniques could feed a hundred times the world’s present population - say 500 billion people - with factory buildings a hundred stories high, on one percent of present farmland. [My emphasis — WHS]  To put it differently, if you raise your bed to triple bunk-bed height, you can grow enough food on the two levels between the floor and your bed to supply your nutritional needs.

The Ultimate Resource II: People, Materials, and Environment (1998), by Julian L. Simon
CHAPTER SIX, WHAT ARE THE LIMITS ON FOOD PRODUCTION?

I know, I know.  You must think about where all of the energy to produce the required light will be coming from.  Never fear, Julian Simon thought of that.  Read the book and you will find out.  Come on!  If you are sufficiently worried about over-population that you feel driven to stop reproducing and even try to limit other people’s wish to propagate, you must be interested enough to read just one book.  No?  You mean you have your mind so firmly made up that no facts will confuse you?

Update 2010 09 01: Well, you seem to be ready to accept some facts.  Here is an essay that will convince you, if any convincing is necessary, and confirms that the world is not running out of anything and will not run out of anything even if the size of the world population grows to several times its present size:

There Is No Shortage of Stuff

Functionally Unlimited Resources Exist

The worry is often put forward that we are going to run out of resources. That as population increases we just MUST run out of stuff. In this article I will be presenting a selection of examples of why this is not so. Please remember that this is far from a complete list. I have left out more resources and technologies than I’ve put in the article. These are just a sample sufficient to prove the thesis, the others were left out not due to lack of merit, but due to lack of space….(Full Story)

False rape-claims

FALSE RAPE CLAIMS AROUND THE COUNTRY [U.K.] AND ABROAD

Guest post by George Rolph

Feminists tell us that false rape claims are rare and we should all believe every woman that makes a rape claim because not doing so deters other females from coming forwards. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. When we believe every woman who cries rape we open the door to massive injustice that can destroy the life of the accused completely and leave them open to assault or even death. What is more, false rape allegations have the effect of diluting the credibility of genuine rape victims when they stand before a jury.

The feminist position hurts everybody and seeks to protect those other criminals who make malicious and false allegations against the innocent.  Whether those allegations involve the horrendous crimes of rape or domestic violence.

From the feminist position, hurting as many men as possible may seem like an ideal to be pursued and indeed they have written widely that this is their aim. One has to wonder what kind of sick, misandrist mind-set wants to do that and why society has been giving so much credibility to those feminists who hold these sick views? It is surely time to begin asking some very deep and penetrating questions of those who hold onto these desires.

As someone who has fought for over thirty years now to get justice for male victims of abuse who are often arrested for being the victim, I have long been warning about how women who assault their male partners in the home will often give themselves injuries to make their claims look credible to gullible  and badly trained police officers (police officers most likely to have been trained by feminists and indoctrinated into a feminist view of domestic abuse, incidentally) These claims of mine have been dismissed as the ranting of a man who hates women. A claim I most fiercely deny. Hating what some bad females do is not the same as hating women as a group! In fact, I wrote a fictional story and published it online years ago to illustrate how women, filled with hate against male partners, can manipulate the police and media by the use of self inflicted injuries.  (You can read it here: http://www.fictionontheweb.co.uk/heads.html )

In one of the true stories at the links below you can read the following account:

“A young woman who ripped her clothes and gave herself a black eye to support her rape lies was yesterday jailed for three years…”

Further on in the story we get this detail:

“The frilly dress and leggings she had been wearing had apparently been ripped in the attack, clumps of her hair had been hacked off and she had a black eye and scratches to her breasts and legs.

But police became suspicious, and tests showed the Libyan-born former children’s holiday rep had ripped her own clothes and inflicted the injuries herself to back up her fabricated claims…”

It is only when reading real accounts about the lengths some women will go too, out of sheer spite and hatred for the male sex, to do as much damage to them as possible and where they can, to misuse the law and media to inflict this damage, that the reality of what really goes on in homes up and down the land begins to sink in. It is a reality the police, those in the legal system, the media and the politicians need to think about and investigate as thoroughly as possible. It is also as clear an indication as it is possible to have why the ideology of a particular political group with a gender axe to grind, cannot be allowed to make social or political policy that will affect the lives of millions of people. Many of whom may not share that ideology. Slanted views will always lead to injustice. Balance and sober reflection should always accompany those who make and maintain laws. Not an ideology which is neither balanced or sober and which must lead to gross injustice and social harm. How can it be right that a group known to hate marriage and the family are given a powerful political platform to preach their views, for example, while those in favour of both are denied the same? How can it be fair, equitable and just that these political groups are also funded by the state when their opponents are not?

All of the false rape stories in the press at the links below you will notice have the following dates attached. All come from just one Google search carried out today.

Six cases found from around the country [the U.K.] being dealt with by the courts in just one two-month period! I will leave the conclusions about how serious this menace is up to the reader. What I would draw attention too is the staggering differences in weak sentences being handed down for this life destroying and wicked crime in British courts.

Here is a story about the same crime — this time being perpetrated for financial gain against British men — from Greece. Note how the story blames the males.

Dated 09 Aug 2010 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/greece/7933190/Britons-trapped-in-false-rape-sting-by-blonde-Swede-on-Greek-island.html  Sweden, incidentally, is a European feminist hot spot.

Please, take some time to read through and analyse these stories and draw your own conclusions about the nature and frequency of this terrible crime. If you have a blog or web site of your own, perhaps you should get a discussion going? We cannot just pass by on the other side and let those with an agenda of hate go on being responsible for making our social, legal and political policy on these important human issues.

    In praise of older women

    Today someone sent me some sort of statement (I received it a number of times already) falsely alleged to have been composed by Andy Rooney.

    I wrote to her:

    Claire,

    No, anyone searching his memory for a 60-minutes program in which he did say that will search in vain.  It was not Andy Rooney who said or wrote it.

    Here is the truth about that one: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/rooney2.asp  [You can find the whole piece she sent at that link.]

    As you can see at his website, the true originator of it, Frank Kaiser, did not say the gross parts of it either.  Which proves that one does not have to be gross to be clever, because clever he most certainly is, even though he is a feminist who is smart enough not to mention the female version of Western Chivalry.  Still, perhaps now there isn’t a female version of that anymore, especially not to be found amongst the young women of North America today, although in some nations and cultures it still exists.  I believe, if memory serves me right, that it was called femininity.

    Mozart once wrote something to his sister about the power of women, and that one, I think, is truly clever.

    …a free translation of a poem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (the poem was part of a letter he wrote in Vienna, August 18, 1784, to congratulate his sister on her impending marriage):

    You’ll experience much in matrimony
    that was half a riddle to you;
    soon you’ll know from experience,
    how Eve once had to deal with
    giving birth to Cain.

    However, sister, those matrimonial duties
    you’ll do gladly with all your heart,
    because, believe me, they aren’t hard.
    But every matter has two sides:
    although matrimony brings much joy,
    it’ll bring you grief as well.

    Therefore, when your husband offers,
    what you feel you don’t deserve,
    dark demeanor in his bad mood,
    then think, that is male whim,
    and say: Lord, Thy will be done
    by day and mine at night!

    A little later, in the beginning of the 19th century, Alexander Pushkin told us about the travails of Eugene Onegin and his views about the power that women exercised over their husbands.  (The husband may think he rules the roost, but who rules the rooster?  Right!)

    XXXI

    She was like him and always sported
    the latest fashions of the town;
    but, without asking, they transported
    her to the altar and the crown.
    The better to dispel her sorrow
    her clever husband on the morrow
    took her to his estate, where she,
    at first, with God knows whom to see,
    in tears and violent tossing vented
    her grief, and nearly ran away.
    Then, plunged in the housekeeper’s day,
    she grew accustomed, and contented.
    In stead of happiness, say I,
    custom’s bestowed us from on high.

    XXXI

    For it was custom that consoled her
    in grief that nothing else could mend;
    soon a great truth came to enfold her
    and give her comfort to the end:
    she found, in labours and in leisure,
    the secret of her husband’s measure,
    and ruled him like an autocrat -
    so all went smoothly after that.
    Mushrooms in brine, for winter eating,
    fieldwork directed from the path,
    accounts, shaved forelocks,4 Sunday bath—,
    meantime she’d give the maids a beating
    if her cross mood was at its worst —
    but never asked her husband first.

    – Alexander Pushkin, “Eugene Onegin,” (begun in 1824) Chapter Two, (Translated by Charles Johnston)

    [From the translator’s notes]: 4. Serfs chosen for the army had their forelocks cut off. [Note, as always during the history of mankind, it was the men, not the women, who were chosen for the army and to die on the battlefield, but that, like so many other things that men do (anyone can see the evidence all around), is something many women readily forget about. —WHS]

    Aside from the bit from Snopes, all of that is — except for a couple of very small edits — from the web page at http://fathersforlife.org/hist/gerst.htm, which presents the translation of a somewhat longer poem about a prison pastor who had his very own patriarchal ways of looking at and dealing with dissidence in marital relations in the late 1840s.

    Here is another side of the story.  It is more about the things that your story alluded to, “The ‘evil’ that men did.

    Enjoy,

    The reality of communist ideology

    Glenn Beck produced a documentary that many people who do not watch Fox TV have not seen, but they should.

    Ideology is a concept that is somewhat related to idealism.  For some confused people the two concepts are interchangeable.

    Ideology:

    1 : visionary theorizing
    2 a : a systematic body of concepts especially about human life or culture b : a manner or the content of thinking characteristic of an individual, group, or culture c : the integrated assertions, theories and aims that constitute a sociopolitical program
    (Merriam Webster OnLine)

    Idealism:

    1 a (1) : a theory that ultimate reality lies in a realm transcending phenomena (2) : a theory that the essential nature of reality lies in consciousness or reason b (1) : a theory that only the perceptible is real (2) : a theory that only mental states or entities are knowable
    2 a : the practice of forming ideals or living under their influence b : something that is idealized
    3 : literary or artistic theory or practice that affirms the preeminent value of imagination as compared with faithful copying of nature — compare realism
    (Merriam Webster OnLine)

    What do the following people have in common?

    • Karl Marx and Frederick Engels (the authors of the Manifesto of the Communist Party, 1848, calling for a bloody revolution that would bring about the rule of the proletariat)
    • Josef Stalin (his regime murdered about 30 million people, about 20 million of them before he became an ally in the fight against Hitler)
    • Adolf Hitler (his regime murdered 6 million people)
    • Che Guevara (Cuban revolutionary, a cold-blooded killer who personally murdered close to 200 people)
    • Mao Zedong (his regime murdered at least 30 million people)

    All of them shared the criminality of communism.  They all shared the same ideology.  They only differed in the number of people they murdered.

    That message comes across loud and clear in Glenn Beck’s documentary The Revolutionary Holocaust, Live free… or die (five parts, 42 minutes)

    In his documentary, Glenn Beck demonstrates that it has become fashionable to promote the images and ideology of Marxism, Che Guevara and Mao Zedong, and that even George Bernard Shaw was quite outspoken in calling for the atrocities that mass-murderers like Stalin, Hitler and Mao turned into reality.

    What Glenn Beck shows goes far beyond mere misguided fashionable statements printed on bikinis and T-shirts.  It has become part of the political doctrine that is being preached by a many misguided political figures.

    As great as Glenn Beck’s documentary is, it would be even better if he could expand his documentary to show, for instance, that the doctrine of radical feminism quite literally uses quotes verbatim from the teachings of Frederick Engels (see also Friedrich Engels and Simone de Beauvoir, the shining apostles of contemporary family politics).

    Why we have two hands

    Vicky [not her real name],

    You told me that you don’t like reading.  Nevertheless, do me a favour and read all of what I am writing here.  After all, it’s not that long a write-up.

    I know that you did not write anything in relation to those two photos you sent under the heading “Why we have two hands”, one of a little girl with a credit card and a cellphone, and the other of a little boy holding a remote control and his genitals.

    Up-front, I don’t feel offended by the two photos, even though the photos offend both women and men.  The reason why I don’t feel offended is that the premise of the alleged “humour” in those photos is based in ignorance or, perhaps more correctly, in propaganda.  Jokes are humorous because they contain a kernel of truth.  They are often the more humorous the more of the truth they contain.  As far as that goes, your two photos contain very little truth and even less humour.

    Objectively, I don’t want to over-analyze what is behind the two photos, but both of them are serious distortions of reality.  Many of such distortions are not as funny as they appear to be at first glance.

    The photos brought something to my mind that happened when Ruth and I went with my older brother, who is somewhat of a feminist, to Northern Michigan.

    I wrote a comment about that incident, and I made sure to drive my point home with my brother after the fact, by sending him a copy of that commentary.  Here is the main issue.

    We had just arrived at the Mackinaw bridge and were at a visitor information centre.  There was an exhibit of a model of the bridge.  The short write-up associated with that model provided a few statistics, such as how long the bridge was, when it was built, how much time it took to build, how many men it took to build the bridge and how many of them had died building it.

    My brother speaks and understands English, but to let the facts sink into his memory, he translated the facts and figures into German.  In doing so, he mis-translated “men” into the German word “Menschen”, which means “people” and not “men”.

    I corrected him and explained that the bridge was built by men, specifically, and not just by “people”, and that it was men and only men, not just people, who had died during its construction.

    It is something that many people, especially those of a feminist bent, forget when they re-write history, even if it is nothing more than propagandistic jokes or photos such as the two you sent out, photos that downplay the role of men in our society and throughout civilization.

    As I explained to my brother, just about everything you see that did not grow by itself, was built or made by men.  Certainly, many things were made by women, clothing, for example (although even much of that is being made by men), but also the tools with which clothing is being made were designed and made by men, too.

    Look around you.  Everything, absolutely everything you see and use right now, has been made by men.

    Look out of the window.  Everything that did not grow by itself has been designed, engineered and made by men: your car, the roads it travels on, the materials both are made from — all made or produced by men.  The trailer you live in, the materials it was built with, the tools to work those materials, the mining that was done to produce some of the raw materials for the construction materials, all made by men.

    Men have two hands, and so do women.  I won’t run down the good things that women do with their hands, no more so than I wish anyone to forget or make light of what men do with their hands.  Let’s not forget that men use their hands for far more than holding remote controls and their genitals.

    It is said that women’s work is never done.  Just the same, it can also be said that men’s work is never done, but that, far more importantly, men’s work is never seen or, thanks to feminism, hardly ever recognized properly.

    However, men’s work comes at a terrible cost.  Men’s lives are on average ten percent shorter than women’s lives.  That is mostly because men’s work kills far more men (e. g.: about 100,000 men — and no women — died throughout the world in mining accidents during the last century) than women’s work kills women.

    For as long as statistics on that have been kept, about 18.5 job fatalities out of every twenty involved men as victims.  The reasons why women have not yet reached equality with men in that area of human endeavor (the statistics show not the slightest trend of that being changed any time soon, if ever) is a subject of a different and far longer discussion.  I will not go into that right now.

    So, even if we try to be funny, let’s be a bit more honest about what we do with our hands.  A lie, even if made out to be humorous, is still a lie.

    All the best,

    Walter

    A “fare-well” of sorts

    This blog entry is intended only for the serious reader and student of human history and evolution.  Do not bother to read the rest of this entry if you do not like reading or if you merely seek judicial solutions to the damages caused by your divorce and child-custody issues.

    Almost three months have gone by since I last posted an entry to dads & things, the blog of the popular website of Fathers for Life. Related to that, I also reduced the frequency of postings to the mailing list of Fathers for Life.

    To keep up the frequency of the postings and updates, at the levels to which people had become accustomed to, as well as staying on top of the hundreds of e-mail messages that arrived daily in our inbox, required between 16 to 20 hours of work each day. Obviously and ultimately, that was more than I could cope with.

    Little harm is done by me not answering requests for help and information.  Virtually all of the answers I can give are available at the website of Fathers for Life.  Surely, anyone who seeks answers can find them at that website.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and so, as the home page of that website clearly states, is Fathers for Life.  No one expects to be led by the hand to explore Wikipedia….

    If anyone wishes to get in touch with me, I still answer my telephone.  People frequently do get in touch by phone.  I gladly sit down at my PC to illustrate to them how to navigate the website of Fathers for Life, explaining to them over the phone which links to follow, while I also offer some common-sense advice to those who appear to be in need of it.

    That sort of help is much more and better than what was available to me when I went through my separation and divorce, close to 35 years ago — when it took me about six months to find out that there was an organization in Edmonton that could or should have helped to provide some of the answers I sought but did not, even after I found it.

    All of that does not mean that my life stopped.  I still seek answers.  The serious heart attack I experienced in February 2009 was a warning that I had to slow down.  I slowed down but did not entirely stop my efforts to find and understand the driving forces of the motivations for the planned destruction of the family within the context of the program for the re-engineering of humanity, of all of civilization, that is.

    Quite some years ago, I posted an on-line edition of a book to Fathers for Life, The  Head of the Medusa. by Perseus.  The book was read by few fathers-rights activists, even then, and is being read by virtually no fathers-rights activists now. Yet, the book clearly identifies the forces that drive the planned destruction of the family within the context of the systematic re-engineering of humanity.

    The Trinity of Humanicide — the destruction of the existing form of the human race — is formed by combining three such isms and let’s be honest, didn’t they all sound good when we first heard them? Let’s rip off the shining raiment and see what lies underneath.

    • Environmentalism — the war between people and the planet.
    • Multiculturalism — the war between the world and its component nations.
    • Feminism — the war between the two component human genders.

    Unmasked, we can see these three imposters for what they are. They are not a Trinity to bring us together at all. They are three weird sisters met to tear us apart and create disharmony and destruction.

    Here we have a witches brew, an all encompassing global ‘ethic’ that is the most powerful mechanism for human destruction in the history of the world. Anyone who cannot see, or understand this — and that is the vast majority of us — must believe that the three components of this spell are basically benign, altruistic aims. But, we have been fooled into biting into a poisoned apple. That is the true heart of this terrible human catastrophe.

    In our lack of vision and understanding, we have ourselves become components in the most toxic and most powerful force for evil that has ever been unleashed in the history of human existence.

    The Toxic Trinity of Humanicide, by Perseus

    A few days ago I ran across a statement that, with very few words, sums up the fundamental, primary problem cause for what Perseus addressed in The  Head of the Medusa, “Communists are socialists who are in a hurry”.

    Communism is socialism, but whether socialism is being put into place through a bloody revolution or through a slow death of a thousand cuts, once socialism is in place, whether its implementation took a hundred years or more or just a couple of years, it will have the nature of a centralized, totalitarian regime.

    The Socialist Phenomenon, by Igor Shafarevich (English edition 1980, with a foreword by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and now accessible in full and for free at the indicated link) is required reading.

    I came across that book as a result of reading Solzhenitsyn’s 1978 Commencement Address at Harvard.  He stated in that,

    ….The mathematician Igor Shafarevich, a member of the Soviet Academy of Science, has written a brilliantly argued book entitled Socialism; this is a penetrating historical analysis demonstrating that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death. Shafarevich’s book was published in France almost two years ago [1976, in Russian] and so far no one has been found to refute it.

    Igor Shafarevich is a world-renowned mathematician.  I read substantial portions of his book [2008 12 02 — all of it by now], and I must fully agree with what Solzhenitsyn stated about it.

    Solzhenitsyn did not mention feminism as a form of socialism, and neither did Shafarevich in his book, where feminism is not mentioned at all.  Perhaps neither author deemed it necessary to state the obvious, namely that socialism favours the female of the human species as much as anthills and beehives favour the females of their respective insect species.  That favoritism is illusory, as it means nothing more than that females do all of the work, and males serve only a single purpose, to diversify the gene pool….(Full Story: Search-engine censorship, socialism, ant hills and female supremacy)

    The Socialist Phenomenon makes for chilling reading and is without a doubt true.  It is even more chilling to consider the extent of censorship that is at work in the West, given that it took a world-renowned mathematician during the existence of the former USSR to provide a clear and concise summary of the pertinent issues, while no one in the West, not even the Pope, did anything comparable.  (–The Communist Manifesto, by Walter Schneider)

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn explained in his 1978 commencement address at Harvard that The Socialist Phenomenon,

    is a penetrating historical analysis demonstrating that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.

    Yes, socialism does that and nothing else.  Igor Shafarevich hammers the point home by describing the four major aspects of socialism:

    It would seem that socialist ideology has the ability to stamp widely separated or even historically unlinked socialist currents with indelible and stereotyped markings.

    It seems to us quite legitimate to conclude that socialism does exist as a unified historical phenomenon. Its basic principles have been indicated above. They are:

    • Abolition of private property.
    • Abolition of the family.
    • Abolition of religion.
    • Equality, abolition of hierarchies in society.

    The manifold embodiments of these principles are linked organically by a common spirit, by an identity of specific details and, frequently, by a clearly discernible overall thrust.

    Our perspective on socialism takes into account only one of the dimensions in which this phenomenon unfolds. Socialism is not only an abstract ideological system but also the embodiment of that system in time and space. Therefore, having sketched in its outlines as an ideology, we now ought to be able to explain in what periods and within what civilization socialism arises, whether in the form of doctrine, popular movement or state structure. But here the answer turns out to be far less clear. While the ideology of socialism is sharply defined, the occurrence of socialism can hardly be linked to any definite time or civilization. If we consider the period in the history of mankind which followed the rise of the state as an institution, we find the manifestations of socialism, practically speaking, in all epochs and in all civilizations. It is possible, however, to identify epochs when socialist ideology manifests itself with particular intensity. This is usually at a turning point in history, a crisis such as the period of the Reformation or our own age. We could simply note that socialist states arise only in definite historical situations, or we could attempt to explain why it was that the socialist ideology appeared in virtually finished and complete form in Plato’s time. We shall return to these questions later. But in European history, we cannot point to a single period when socialist teachings were not extant in one form or another. It seems that socialism is a constant factor in human history, at least in the period following the rise of the state. Without attempting to evaluate it for the time being, we must recognize socialism as one of the most powerful and universal forces active in a field where history is played out.

    Above, I mentioned that Igor Shafarevich’s The Socialist Phenomenon does not once mention feminism as an outcome or expression of socialism, but neither does it mention environmentalism.  That brings me to the motivation for posting this commentary.

    MUST READ: What happened to global warming?
    By Paul Hudson, BBC Climate Correspondent

    This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

    But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

    And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought [instead of “thought”, a better term would have been “falsely-alleged” –WHS] to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

    So what on Earth is going on?  ….

    Power cuts forecast to hit UK in four years
    Robin Pagnamenta, Energy Editor

    Britain faces a return to 1970s-style power blackouts and disruption to its electricity supplies within four years, the energy regulator warned yesterday.

    Ofgem raised the spectre of a return to the three-day week for British industry as the country scrambles to renovate its crumbling power infrastructure ahead of new EU pollution rules that will force the closure of a quarter of UK power stations by 2015….

    That is environmentalism gone insane, and so are comparable efforts, wherever they are being undertaken, such as in the case of the Alberta Government intending to spend billions of dollars for Carbon Capture and Sequestration while it cuts back on health-care spending for seniors and the disabled.  The reality of that sort of thing is that it is absolutely unnecessary, not only that but totally futile.  There is no way that a reduction of man-made CO2 emissions, emissions that constitute no more than 3.6% of the total CO2 content of the global atmosphere, will have a noticeable impact on climate trends.  The question is, what do power cuts and saving the globe have to do with the planned destruction of the family and with the abrogation of fathers rights?

    Yes, I know.  A few fathers-rights activists asked me that question over the years, but, although I gave them the answer to that question, few of those who asked that question ever accepted my answer.  Well, if anyone still has a doubt as to whether environmentalism is part of the current program for implementing global socialism, consider how big a part of naziism environmentalism was.

    Yes, naziism is a form of socialism.  The term nazi is a nickname for the name of the party that promoted that particular form of socialism, the National-Socialist German Workers Party (the acronym for the nazi party, NSDAP, stands for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei, that is, the National-Socialist German Workers Party –WHS).  If you have any misgivings about the fact that environmentalism was strongly intertwined with Hitler’s National Socialism, read


    The Nazi-Enviro Connection: Uekoetter’s “Green and Brown”
    (2009), at Environmentalism is Fascism, by William Walter Kay

    Considering the global attempts under the auspices of the UN to implement international income and asset equalization between have- and have-not nations (true to the communist maxim, “from those who have to those in need”) at any cost, in the order of many trillions of dollars, the income and asset transfers from men to women in the name of women’s rights pale by comparison, and so does the accompanying extent of the human misery, suffering and deaths so created through the planned destruction of the family.

    The third member of the Toxic Trinity of Humanicide, multiculturalism, will be covered in another commentary that I will, if time permits, post a few months or so from now.

    For now, if we cannot stop the insanity of extremely expensive but totally futile, humanly and economically damaging efforts to implement climate control for the sake of environmentalism in the name of saving the globe, what makes anyone think that the ongoing planned destruction of the family can be stopped? The same organizations and ultra-wealthy individuals who fund and promote “climate control” also fund and control the planned destruction of the family, with the goal of reducing the world population to about 350 million to a billion people.  After all, they consider humanity to be a cancer on the face of the Earth.

    If you have not yet caught on to the strong connection between environmentalism and feminism, then consider to what extent you, too, have become indoctrinated:

    The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses’ attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc., whose significance is thus for the first time placed within their field of vision. …

    All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and too much caution cannot be extended in this direction. …

    The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan….

    The function of propaganda is, for example, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.

    Sexual Orientation — Nature or Nurture?

    It took the American Psychological Association a few years to catch up to the state of the science on sexual orientation, but here is the opinion the APA holds now,

    There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation. (Source: APA –Sexuality — Answers to Your Questions For a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality)

    That removes all doubt, does it not? It is a totally safe opinion that cannot be proved wrong.  Regardless of what sexual orientation one chose or not, it was either nature or nurture that imbued the individual with it.

    The only question that now remains is which sexual orientation is the safest and the healthiest.  Choose wisely. (More)

    Why Did Feminists Attack the Family?

    The contemporary cultural and political war against the family has several causes, of which feminism is by far the most significant.

    ‘First-wave’ feminists in the early Twentieth Century were not at all anti-family. Indeed, one of their demands was that control of hearth and home should be the domain of women. Reference.

    It was only as a result of second-wave feminism, in the late 1960s, that the feminist attack on the family began. Neil Lyndon, in his 1992 book ‘No More Sex War’, was perhaps the first to trace the origins of second-wave feminist ideology to Marxism….(Full Story)

    There will be time for some open-line then an eye-opening, in-depth discussion on Fathers Rights and the Rights of Children.  Vancouver lawyer and well-known advocate Carey Linde will be joining us to talk about this issue and parental alienation.  Are the courts getting it wrong?  (Note: The first third of that portion of the show deals with provincial politics in B.C..  Skip that to get to the interview with Carey Linde.  The discussion of fathers rights, feminist judicial bias, divorce issues such as parental alienation and much more is fascinating.  It is very important for anyone living in B.C. that the discussion contains a recommendation by Carey Linde to copy the results of the poll on shared parenting run by Saskatchewan MP Vellacotte and to forward that to the B.C. Attorney General — in view of the currently going-on revisions to family rights laws in B.C.. –WHS)
