God Counts His Sons’ Tears

The esteemed and late religious leader Thomas S. Monson once said: “Men, take care not to make women weep, for God counts their tears.” 

He’s right. God loves His daughters and counts their tears. Men should be more careful of how they treat the women in their lives. I love President Monson for his goodness and concern for people. However, is it not equally true that God loves His sons? Does He not also count our tears? 

Our Eternal Father does count His sons’ tears. In no age have men had more reason to mourn and cry because of the actions and attitudes of women than in this present epoch. Yet, no one wants to talk about men in a sympathetic or positive light. 

Officialdom only condemns men, treats masculinity like a contagion, portrays fathers as oppressors and husbands as buffoons, and smears patriarchal societies as the root of civilization’s ills. This anti-male agenda began in earnest with Adam Weishaupt’s criminal clique and was spread to the world by Marxists. 

The goal of communists is the “abolition of the family.” In order to achieve that end, the defenders of the home – men – must be marginalized, condemned, and neutered. But how was this to be accomplished? By means of the women. Weishaupt plotted: 

“There is no way of influencing men so powerfully as by means of the women. These should therefore be our chief study; we should insinuate ourselves into their good opinion, give them hints of emancipation from the tyranny of public opinion, and of standing up for themselves; it will be an immense relief to their enslaved minds to be freed from any one bond of restraint, and it will fire them the more, and cause them to work for us with zeal, without knowing that they do so; for they will only be indulging their own desire of personal admiration” (Adam Weishaupt, in John Robison, Proofs of a Conspiracy, 111). 

Bolshevik feminist and one of Lenin’s illicit lovers, Inessa Armand, boasted

“If women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women’s liberation.” 

Always remember that feminism is communism. The Marxian Hegelian Dialectic of bringing two things into conflict to create a synthesis – problem, reaction, solution – was simply applied to the home front. This is feminism. 

As a sense of victimhood was instilled in women and the Marxian notion of “liberation” was dangled in front of them like a carrot on a stick, women began to rebel against traditional norms and Christian values. They began seeking selfish pleasure, not selfless service. They sought faux “independence” by severing themselves from the blessings and responsibilities of motherhood and homemaking. 

The world’s women were thus mobilized against men, families, and society. They became the shock troops of the communist world revolution. They were and are the revolutionaries on the frontlines doing the destructive work that a hundred armies couldn’t dream of doing. Through “Women’s Liberation” came world subjugation. Feminism is the disease which has poisoned society

In embracing Marxism, whether they recognized it as such or not, women victimized themselves. They have cut themselves off from the respect of good men and decent society. They have forfeited honor in eternity – the honor that properly belongs to mothers who faithfully raised a righteous posterity. They have relinquished happiness and authentic joy – none of which is to be found outside of marriage and the home. Women, once cherished, are now viewed dismissively and derisively as the hedonistic floosies so many of them have become. They didn’t “liberate” themselves from oppression – they liberated themselves from respect, happiness, fulfillment, family, and honor

Read Dr. Kengor’s book for the inside scoop on how communism destroyed marriage and family.

Women have not only wronged themselves, however. Much of their shrill ire and petulant immaturity has been directed at, or has directly harmed, men. One simple statistic speaks volumes. I have seen the number slightly higher and slightly lower, but as a round figure, 80% of divorces are initiated by women. Sources here, here, here, and here. Be careful, the explanations given in these sources are highly biased and epitomize the anti-male perspective we’re talking about; blaming “insensitive” men for all of women’s woes, for instance. 

The cruel fact is that the overwhelming majority of these tragic divorces are of the “no-fault” variety. In other words, the women in these situations are not alleging abuse or infidelity or tyrannical patriarchal behavior; they’re simply too immature, disloyal, or selfish to keep the marriage going. Don’t you dare blame men for these “no-fault” marriage failures! The studies cited above show that the more “highly-educated” a woman is, the more likely she is to divorce. Tell me that isn’t a result of the mind-numbing Marxist indoctrination they receive at university! 

“It takes two to tango” does not always apply. Sometimes, it only takes one – and in most cases, that one is the woman. Do the husbands in these examples have faults and share partial blame. In many cases they certainly do. We all have faults, and some men are disloyal, immature, or brutish (that said, look at domestic abuse statistics against men and female infidelity numbers sometime. You may be surprised). Nevertheless, women are the ones who initiate divorces in most cases. They are the ones who decide to end most marriages. It’s not men who throw in the towel or run away, it’s women. 

Over the years, I’ve talked with and known countless divorced men. In nearly every case, it was the ex-wife who had ended it. Most of these men were good, faithful, religious, and upright. Yet, their wives were too immature or wanted things their own way. They refused to become part of a team, instead demanding all control or nothing. Often, in cases where infidelity played a role, it was the woman who was the guilty party. In the case of one co-worker, his wife had literally run off at a business conference with a guy she just met and claimed was her “soulmate.” 

All of that is anecdotal, but it dovetails with the statistics cited earlier showed; namely, that 80% of divorces are initiated by women. In my own life, I was the victim of divorce. My ex-wife left me and ran off to California to, quote, “find myself.” She said she couldn’t handle the responsibilities of adulthood anymore, let alone marriage or motherhood. She began suffering from depression and anxiety attacks and felt she needed to escape. Just after our third anniversary, she left (and immediately started slaving away at a full-time job to pay for an over-priced and tiny apartment where she could spend her free hours with her cat). I tried to reconcile for over a year before she finally asked for a divorce, which I grudgingly granted. 

Trust me, men’s hearts can break. Men fall on their knees in anguish and sob. They mourn and they cry. And God counts our tears.

God, who is an exalted Man and our Father, values manhood. He loves His sons. He cherishes them every bit as much as His daughters. When women lash out against, belittle, or hurt God’s sons, He is deeply offended. 

When men are cheated by teachers at school because of their gender, God is offended. When men are called “pigs” by bitter women and Hollywood, God is offended. When men are emasculated by the media, politicians, schools, and even parents, God is offended. 

In a thousand ways, men and masculinity are under relentless attack. Boys aren’t allowed to run, jump, play, complete, or win – there can be no winners in our milk toast society (but men must be losers). Men are told they’re stupid, incompetent, insensitive, savage, and pointless. As a bitter, divorced female co-worker more than once told me: “Men are only good for one thing” (i.e. sex). But even in romance, gentlemen and “nice guys” are mocked and discarded. Yet, “bad boys” and ruffians are also painted as typical men – pigs or dogs. 

The very nature of manhood has been labeled anathema and borderline dangerous. Aggressive and dominant men are treated as savages with no sensitivity. Many feminists have said that all men are rapists. We see so many tragic examples of these cultural Marxists attempting to transition boys into girls because they believe masculinity is inherently flawed and dangerous. Society is one giant anti-men melee led by angry duped women and conniving men who orchestrated all this chaos to increase their control over mankind. 

Much of this hatred – call it what it is, misandry – stems from confusion. Feminists are ignorant of human nature. Like all communists, they deny human nature and engage in social engineering. Because they don’t even comprehend themselves, feminist women misjudge and prejudge men. They seek to fix what’s not broken and to mold men like clay into whatever their dictatorial hearts desire – which is a whipping boy to blame for all their problems. If women understood themselves better, and how they were designed to complement men, feminism would be shattered forever. 

A real man in every good or noble sense of the word, Ezra Taft Benson, gave what I consider the greatest ever sermon on a woman’s place in God’s Plan. All women – and especially those who are guilty of disrespecting or demeaning their husbands or who have otherwise selfishly acted in ways that undermine home, family, and public morality – need to pay attention. Benson taught: 

“Woman was given to man as an helpmeet. That complementary association is ideally portrayed in the eternal marriage of our first parents—Adam and Eve. They labored together; they had children together; they prayed together; and they taught their children the gospel together. This is the pattern God would have all righteous men and women imitate. 

“Before the world was created, in heavenly councils the pattern and role of women were prescribed. You were elected by God to be wives and mothers in Zion. Exaltation in the celestial kingdom is predicated on faithfulness to that calling. 

“Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. 

“Since the beginning, her role has been to teach her children eternal gospel principles. She is to provide for her children a haven of security and love—regardless of how modest her circumstances might be. 

“In the beginning, Adam was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow—not Eve. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother’s place is in the home! 

“I recognize there are voices in our midst which would attempt to convince you that these truths are not applicable to our present-day conditions. If you listen and heed, you will be lured away from your principal obligations. 

“Beguiling voices in the world cry out for “alternative life-styles” for women. They maintain that some women are better suited for careers than for marriage and motherhood. 

“These individuals spread their discontent by the propaganda that there are more exciting and self-fulfilling roles for women than homemaking” (President Ezra Taft Benson, “The Honored Place of Woman,” General Conference, October, 1981). 

Mark it, ladies – your exaltation in your Heavenly Father’s Kingdom is dependent upon how well you fulfill your role as wives, mothers, and homemakers (see also Titus 2:4-5). Each of these depends on a man and can’t be done independently. You cannot be a wife without a man, modern LGBT laws aside. You cannot really be a mother without a man, regardless of what modern legislators say. And it’s rather hard to be a homemaker without a man to sustain you and give you the amazing gift of being in the home. Yet, this is what the Lord requires. 

How does the Lord’s program fit in with feminism which takes women out of the home, away from motherhood, and places wedges between them and men? Obviously, the two plans are incompatible. One cannot be a feminist and follow God’s Plan. Marxism and Christianity are polar opposites. Women, take stock of yourself and see whose plan you prefer and which promises more benefits – Karl Marx’s or Jesus Christ’s. 

Feminism is a deadly poison which is hard to extract once imbibed. This is because selfishness and pride are the root of feminism, and both are exceedingly hard to self-diagnose or treat. When the lens through when you look is distorted, everything you see is a distortion. Until you take off the feminist glasses and look at men, women, and relationships with fresh eyes, you will always misdiagnose the situation and do more harm than good. 

Women, most of you are living wrong. Most men are, too. Men have actually started imitating “women’s liberation” with their own perverse version called Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW). MGTOW is a reaction to, and symptom of, feminism. Men are easy to please. As Disney said: “What do we want? A girl worth fighting for.” That’s all we really want. But when women no longer “need” or want us, and when they collectively destroy our marriages, undermine our homes, push us away, portray us as enemies, and provide poor examples for our children to follow, we recoil. The result is the MGTOW aberration and men disinterested in women beyond sexual trysts. 

Few things are more repugnant than an “independent woman who don’t need no man” and who treats men like dogs. Truthfully, society values canines far more than it respects men – and women are the most disrespectful element. Men are the enemy of the feminist mind and everything from air conditioning to bascule bridge to smiling is mistaken as aggressive misogyny or rape. The real shift must take place not in men’s natures, but in women’s minds and manners. 

Here’s the magic formula – let women be women and men be men. Don’t deny human nature and don’t tamper with God’s Plan. Men and women were given different characteristics that are hardwired into their souls. They can tweak them, but they can’t erase them. And when they tweak them, there are always negative side effects. Angry, unfulfilled, “don’t-need-no-man,” cat-woman, corporate, lonely feminism is the ultimate side effect of women denying who they are. 

Womanly traits include charm, virtue, femininity, gentleness, submissiveness, selflessness, compassion, and beyond. Let’s narrow it down to three. Here’s a truth: By their virtue, femininity, and submissiveness, women can rectify this gravely hostile situation between the sexes almost overnight. Were they to embrace traditional values – Christian values – they would embrace God’s Plan. And when we follow Him, everything falls into place. But since these enlightened qualities have been indoctrinated out of modern women and Marxian feminist ideology with all its unruly selfishness and pettiness has replaced them, that’s not likely. 

The reverse of what I just said is also true. Women can change men and repair homes by embracing godly womanhood, but men can also often influence women for the better by becoming better men – men of morality, honor, responsibility, conviction, and passion. Not tyrants, but assertive leaders exuding light, truth, wisdom, stability, and strength. If a flicker of femininity still lives in a women, they will usually respond to a high-quality man who deserves respect and whose masculine example is beyond reproach. 

Men, we are under attack, not least of all from many of the women in our lives. They are misguided. They have hurt us. They make it terribly difficult to be the men we can and should be. They often steal our motivation by depriving us of a girl worth fighting for. But under circumstances can we give up and “go our own way.” That is cowardice and is the opposite of masculinity. 

By abandoning fatherhood – the essence of true manhood – and marriage, we forfeit our own exaltation in Heaven. There is no true fulfillment for men outside of holy matrimony and the home. Whatever else you may accomplish in life, you are a failure if you fail to fulfill your sacred responsibilities in marriage and in the home. 

God counts His sons’ tears. He knows his sons. He feels their suffering. He offers them peace, comfort, strength, and ultimate victory – regardless of what women choose – through His Son Jesus Christ. Stay the course of true manhood – family life and fatherhood, morality and leadership, honor and uprightness. Don’t let the immaturity or selfishness of women destroy you or poison your mind against marriage and family, both of which are ordained and commanded by God. And, to you women I say, don’t be the reason why men shed tears, for God sees and counts each of them.

A Girl Worth Fighting For

March 8 is the socialist holiday “International Women’s Day.” Celebrated, canonized, and popularized by the socialists, this holiday was a Soviet favorite and remains sacrosanct among feminists and Marxists of all varieties. Today, therefore, I want to hone in on women and give you three things women can do to be genuinely appealing to men and of true worth to society.

Implicit in that statement is the idea that there are not many quality women in the world. I stand by that notion. There are also very few quality men – perhaps even fewer than women. But today we’re going to do what the feminists love and make this all about women. The men will get their comeuppance a different day. 

You may recognize that the title of this article comes from Disney’s Mulan. In the film, the Chinese soldiers march off to war singing a song that says: “What do we want? A girl worth fighting for.” Today, I’ll tell you, from my perspective, what a “girl worth fighting for” looks like. Specifically, I highlight three qualities: Virtue, submissiveness, and femininity. 

The first imperative in being a girl worth fighting for is being godly and virtuous. Being righteous should be the number one thing any person looks for in a spouse. But what precisely does being “godly” and “virtuous” mean? I like the description given by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on their website

“Virtue “is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards.” It encompasses chastity and moral purity. Virtue begins in the heart and in the mind. It is nurtured in the home. It is the accumulation of thousands of small decisions and actions. Virtue is a word we don’t hear often in today’s society, but the Latin root word virtus means strength. Virtuous women and men possess a quiet dignity and inner strength. They are confident because they are worthy to receive and be guided by the Holy Ghost.” 

Similarly, being godly means to adopt the characteristics of God and to walk in His footsteps. It means being faithful and committed in all times, in all things, and in all places. It means to do as Peter enjoined: 

“[S]anctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 

“Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ” (1 Peter 3:15-16).

Whatever good traits a woman may have, she’s not a keeper if she’s ungodly, rebellious, and immoral. The Savior metaphorically taught that “if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell” (Matthew 5:30). 

This is not support for the wicked practice of celibacy, as some suppose, but, rather, reinforcement of the idea that we should choose our companions wisely because our eternal salvation is often impacted by their influence upon us. 

The book of Proverbs likewise tells us in a colorful manner that “it is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house” (Proverbs 21:9). No man who has ever been in that dishonorable situation would deny those pearls of timeless wisdom. Yet, marriage is a commandment and the burden to find a godly spouse is of the greatest importance. 

Chapter 31 of that same book of scripture asks: “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” It then informs us of some of the qualities of a virtuous woman: 

“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 

“She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. . . . 

“Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.  

“She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 

“She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 

“Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 

“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:10-12, 25-30). 

Virtue is the crown of any woman. A virtuous and godly woman worships the Lord, rejects vanity, does good deeds, supports and listens to her husband, works to make her house a Heaven on earth, is kind, imparts wisdom, and is anxiously engaged in good causes. For her virtuous soul, this type of woman receives the sincerest praise of her husband and children as well as the incalculable rewards of God. 

Virtue and godliness, therefore, should be the first thing any suitor looks for in a potential wife. If she is righteous, has a pure heart, does her best to follow the Lord, and has godly wifehood and motherhood as her loftiest goal, then her value is far above rubies and she is most certainly worth fighting for. 

Submission is another indispensable quality in a godly woman. Being submissive is not the same as being subservient, lesser, or inferior. It doesn’t mean not having a mind or voice. It doesn’t mean abdicating your right to choose or needing to obey another’s unrighteous demands. No woman is under obligation to follow her husband to hell. That said, wives are under divine mandate to submit, or hearken, to their husbands. 

 It doesn’t matter one iota what the world thinks about wives submitting to their husbands or what public opinion is on the subject. It doesn’t matter that most women have adopted feminist ideas and bristle at the idea of a domestic life, choosing instead to waste away in an office cubicle doing work no one will remember or care about. It also doesn’t matter that most men run away from these high Christian standards. The Lord anciently told mankind: 

“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my aways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:7-9). 

Knowing how contrary the Lord’s thoughts and ways are to those held and practiced by mankind, it shouldn’t really surprise us that anyone repeating what He has said are labeled as crazy, antiquarian, or prudish. Yet, as medieval as they may appear to some, these are the Lord’s revealed standards and, as with every principle of the Gospel, obedience brings blessings while rebellion yields cursing. 

A great Christian woman, Charlotte Maxfield, once wrote of the virtue of submission and of the Biblical obligation women are under to follow their husbands. She explained: 

“The solution I suggest to you for overcoming your problems in marriage and bringing peace to your family is exactly what Paul commanded: Submit to your husband in everything! [Ephesians 5:22-24] 

“It’s crazy, you say? It can be done, and I’ve seen it accomplished many times. The changes and blessings it brings are so great that I can hardly express the difference. I have seen several hundred women accomplish it in their lives and as they relate the results of their change in behavior and the reaction within their whole family, their happiness brings tears of joy to your eyes. 

“Can you dare to do it? Have you the courage and faith? What have we really got to lose that is of eternal importance? . . . . 

“Don’t allow yourself to have hurt feelings. It is a sign that you are not truly dedicated yet, and are indulging yourself in childish self pity and it is a form of rebellion against him. If you have displeased him, just honestly tell him that you are sorry and that you’ll correct it. When you really mean it, he’ll know by your actions and respect and worship you for it. . . . 

“Your single and most compelling desire is to obey and please him 100%. As you do this you’ll never have to worry about yourself again: your needs, wants, or welfare. 

“The women who have succeeded in this attitude have found that their husband has become even more confident and manly, more fully accepting of his authority and the responsibility for the welfare of everyone’s needs. Soon, before she even realizes that she has a need, he has provided for it. . . . 

“I know that there are some women who might read these things and the idea of complete submission sends chills of agonizing fear into their hearts, but I have heard fear referred to as lack of faith. In order to succeed in this challenge you must believe that your husband is good. It is frightening to place yourself at the mercy of someone else, but you will find that it will become the most glorious dedication of your existence. The two of you shall reach such realms of exalted joy in your lives together that you will finally begin to know what “home – a heaven on earth” really means. . . . 

“Let me talk to the woman who might tend to feel that she wouldn’t dare to obey everything her husband tells her, because he isn’t perfect and therefore doesn’t have the right. This kind of woman is usually manipulative. Though she’s deathly afraid to admit it to herself, others can see it. She may be the kind of woman who has been unconsciously looking down on her husband in self-righteousness, and treating him like a child who is not permitted to grow into complete manhood. Such a woman will often laugh at such an approach to her future happiness and try to find some logical reason why she couldn’t possibly do it. This justifies her failure to commit herself. It is easier to condemn something as foolish, impractical, faulty, and ridiculous than it is to say, “I haven’t the humility or faith to do it,” or “I’m scared.” Remember, “Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” (Gen. 3:16) Some women would like to erase that from the scriptures, but I don’t think that our Father in Heaven could have made it more clear. 

“The only reason a woman will look for an excuse to rationalize or justify her behavior is because she is defending her inside self who is frightened of the truth and afraid of having to humbly dare to change. 

“You must have faith. It is difficult to believe that any man who is entrusted with the welfare and safety of a loving woman who has completely sacrificed all her selfish desires and wishes and pledged her undying obedience unto him would ask such a submissive and delicate possession to commit sin. If he did, I feel that the sin would be upon his head, if she were obeying God’s law. And I cannot believe that any of our husbands are that corrupted. 

“You must have faith in him and in yourself, and in God – that He will bless your sincere efforts. I believe that He will answer you beyond your most vivid imaginings. Ask, knock – for His greatest desire is to have heavenly marriages. Remember that you and the Lord are an “invincible team.” 

“After all, isn’t that what the Lord is asking of you? He has commanded us to place nothing before Him in importance. . . . 

“Well, are you willing to set aside your pride? Are you willing to obey God’s law? Can you willingly obey the head of your home as a similitude of your love for your Savior as Eve did? You know what your husband can become, but only if you will cease to resist and fight him. Your pride may be the only thing which is stifling his spiritual growth into what he can become. 

“Is there any price too great to pay for this promise? If we are to become worthy of this tremendous reward, we must practice and grow now. We must take those few frightening babysteps with faith and courage and humbly pray to the Lord to guide us. I have faith that He will. 

“Great blessings are in store for you if you can now give life to the words and beliefs you have merely been giving lip service to all these years” (Charlotte S. Maxfield, “A Husband – To Have and To Hold,” in Duane S. Crowther and Jean D. Crowther, ed., The Joy of Being a Woman: Guidance for Meaningful Living By Outstanding LDS Women, 198-202). 

Christian women who have not learned to submit to their husbands are merely giving “lip service” to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some try to argue and claim that submission is not a part of the Gospel, yet as Charlotte Maxfield pointed out, and as any cursory study of the Bible clarifies, a woman’s submission to her husband has been God’s standard from the days of Adam and Eve. God told Eve: “[T]hy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee” (Genesis 3:16). 

Modern ears don’t like the world “rule,” yet there it is. Should we look at the synonyms of “rule”? Among similar and equal terms are the following: Direct, order, command, administer, regulate, mandate, control, dominate, decree, decide, judge, govern, head, settle, resolve, run, manage, and lead. A husband is to be the head of his home, governing it in righteousness and leading my example. He is, properly, the final authority. 

I love a description of correct family management given by the religious leader Elder A. Theodore Tuttle. He taught

“There is genuine concern over the diminishing role of the father in the home. His influence is fading. Presiding responsibilities formerly assumed are left either to the mother or to agencies outside the home. This diminishing role is at the root of a multitude of our problems. Numerous things go awry when the scriptural family organization is upset! 

“The father is the patriarch in the home. This means that the father is the presiding authority. This does not mean that he should be dictatorial. Modern scriptures set forth qualifications for all who preside: 

““No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned. …” (D&C 121:41.) 

“In reality, each family is a dominion within itself. Father heads that government. In the beginning it was the only government on the earth and was passed down from Adam to his descendants. Properly organized in the Church, the father is the patriarch of an eternal family unit. Heaven, to us, will be simply an extension of an ideal home. As the presiding priesthood officer, the father fills an irreplaceable role.” 

The family is the core unit not only of society, but of Heaven. It’s not in vain that we call our God “Father.” He is our Father, literally and truly. And we are His children, spiritually and literally. His DNA runs through us and we are part of His family. On earth, as in Heaven, a father stands at the head of his own family as any sovereign governs his own dominion. Oppressive? No. Godly? Yes. 

In New Testament times, this righteous pattern was reaffirmed by the apostles Peter and Paul. Paul instructed: 

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 

“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it” (Ephesians 5:22-25). 

Peter, then the head of the fledgling Church, authoritatively and simply declared: “[W]ives, be in subjection to your own husbands” (1 Peter 3:1). There’s no wiggle room there. You either follow (or at least attempt to in good faith) this instruction or you’re not a genuine follower of the religion of the Lord. Choose what is more valuable to you, lip service or authentic discipleship. 

To reiterate, these teachings didn’t begin with Peter and Paul. They began with Adam and Eve and continued down through time and remain in force at present. Read carefully the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their families and you will see these principles of patriarchal marriage, manly leadership, and womanly submission on full display. From the beginning, patriarchal marriage has been the Lord’s way. 

The holy scriptures solidify this truth time and time again. Humble people will reap the rewards of this type of covenant relationship if they will enter into it faithfully whereas those seeking selfish “independence” will reap hurt and unfulfillment by and by. 

Women who embrace their submissiveness and earnestly seek their husband’s guidance will be more attractive to the right type of men and will find themselves cherished and treated with the type of respect that feminism pretends to offer but fails to deliver. A submissive, hearkening attitude is indescribably more appealing to an upright man than a bossy, domineering, “independent” woman ever could be. 

Men, if a woman is submissive to you and is attempting to entrust herself to you as she entrusts herself to the Lord, don’t let her down. She wants and needs you to lead. Such a woman is worth fighting for with all the might and passion you possess! 

Next, femininity is a quality that has faded, but which makes a woman worth grappling for. What is femininity? A dictionary definition seems insufficient: “[Q]ualities or attributes regarded as characteristic of women.” What attributes? Which characteristics? Is it an outward trait or an inward strength? I turn to a statement made by a stalwart Christian leader, President James E. Faust: 

“I wonder if you sisters fully understand the greatness of your gifts and talents and how all of you can achieve the “highest place of honor” in the Church and in the world. One of your unique, precious, and sublime gifts is your femininity, with its natural grace, goodness, and divinity. Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each of you possesses it. Femininity is part of your inner beauty. 

“One of your particular gifts is your feminine intuition. Do not limit yourselves. As you seek to know the will of our Heavenly Father in your life and become more spiritual, you will be far more attractive, even irresistible. You can use your smiling loveliness to bless those you love and all you meet, and spread great joy. Femininity is part of the God-given divinity within each of you. It is your incomparable power and influence to do good. You can, through your supernal gifts, bless the lives of children, women, and men. Be proud of your womanhood. Enhance it. Use it to serve others.” 

Femininity, then, has outward manifestations like modesty, but is chiefly an inner attribute of the soul. Let’s talk about both outward and inward features of a feminine woman. True it is that the Bible rebukes those who want to blur the lines between the genders. For instance, Deuteronomy 22:5 states: 

“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.” 

And another time, Paul taught: 

“Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 

“But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering” (1 Corinthians 11:14-15).  

What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that any woman who has ever put on a pair of jeans or cut her hair short is a sinner? Of course not! Nor does it mean that a Scotsman who dons a kilt, Romans who wore robes, or a guy who lets his hair get a tad shaggy has flubbed. Femininity, as masculinity, is more about attitude than style. 

We often focus too much on the outward signs of femininity – lipstick, high heels, skirts, dresses, neatly made hair, jewelry, etc. These, I confess, are outrageously attractive. A woman in a skirt and heels, who has long hair and a coy air about her, has infinitely more appeal than one in pants and tennis shoes with a boisterous personality. 

Tasha Tudor pictured with a young family member.

Tasha Tudor once said: 

“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error.” 

Why is it that men are drawn to women of this sort; women who embrace their femininity and wear skirts, dresses, and other ladylike apparel? I believe that this style is attractive precisely because skirts and dresses set women apart as women. Men are inherently attracted to women. It’s in our microchip. People of both genders have the innate desire to cleave to one another (Genesis 2:24). It’s a godly impulse. Thus, to sharpen and strengthen that impulse by outward attire is positive and beneficial, whereas blurring those divine lines is destructive and disconcerting. 

A woman who habitually wears men’s clothing, participates in men’s activities, and acts like “one of the guys,” loses something precious. She diminishes, in a degree, her inherent femininity and a part of that which, by divine design, makes her attractive. Again, this is not to say that women who play basketball, spend time around men, or do something outdoorsy or physical, are bad people, foolish, or corrupt. Yet, women who spend their time competing with men and trying to be like them lose that edge God has given them – their divine femininity. 

However, the heart of the woman is more important than whether she occasionally wears pants or plays sports. It’s trumps skirts and long hair. The purest form of femininity exudes from within. It bubbles up in the form of charm, wit, allure, vivaciousness, and a type of unique light or energy that men simply can’t duplicate – and often can’t resist.

What’s more, men aren’t intended to imitate femininity. It’s good that men are manly, masculine, and commanding, while women are gentle, feminine, and demure. We were designed to complement and complete each other, not compete with and imitate each other. Society would be a wreck, as it largely is today, were we to ignore the differences of the sexes, including the strengths and failings of each. 

Femininity is a virtue and a strength. It is a gift and a talent. It has a very real power to entice, inspire, uplift, brighten, and persuade. Any woman who has mastered the art of femininity, both in dress and behavior, is a cut above the rest and is worth fighting for as only men can. 

When you combine virtue, submissiveness, and femininity together in one, you see the image of a real woman emerge. Unlike the counterfeit version offered by feminism, this blend of virtues is true empowerment. It’s the substance of real womanhood. It’s what causes good men to fight, risk their lives, and even die in foreign wastelands. It’s what prompts men to feats of strength and great exertions of character. It’s the thing that persuades men to raise their chin, square their shoulders, and work harder. Ironically, it’s the very thing that makes us become the sort of men women love and desire. 

Ladies, on this morally-bankrupt holiday, choose to break away from the crowd. Don’t follow them down paths of promiscuity, rebellion, and sloppiness of both appearance and spirit. Instead, embrace your charming femininity, become boldly submissive, and always pursue virtue and godliness. In short, embrace your sweet feminine nature and become a girl worth fighting for.

Women Then and Now

The problem with feminism, I think the principal problem, is the cultivation of an attitude of victimization. Feminism tries to make women believe they are victims of an oppressive, male-dominated, patriarchal society. They wake up in the morning with a chip on their shoulder.” – Phyllis Schlafly

What I’ll write today will offend feminists; and I’m ok with that. The lyrics “if I offended you, you needed it” come to mind. Sometimes we need to be jarred awake before we realize we’re wrong. Awakening must happen before change can occur.

55555unnamed (1)

To commemorate International Women’s Day, I offer this blunt rebuke of feminists everywhere. I seek to compare what society was like before “Women’s Liberation” and after. It will be obvious by the end of this comparison that “Women’s Liberation” means world subjugation.

Feminism is a diseased mindset. It is a philosophy of perversion, selfishness, and rebellion that is eroding civilization by undermining its basic unit – the patriarchal family. But before we deal directly with feminism and the havoc it has wrought, let’s examine life before women decided to deny their nature, rebel against God’s laws, and destroy society in their quest for so-called “equality.”

Before the advent of Marxist-inspired feminism, women were treated like queens and womanhood was highly cherished. It is one of the great feminist myths that before feminism women were chattel; mere property of oppressive men. Feminists deride their ancestors by calling them “domestic servants” or “doormats.” What Marxist-minded women see as “oppression,” however, was authentic Liberty. The stark reality is that women in the past were freer, happier, and more powerful than their modern counterparts.

From the beginning of time, God designated women as wives, homemakers, and mothers. They were to submit to their husbands as their husbands submitted to God. They were to be “help meets” to their husbands, bear and raise children, and provide a loving atmosphere for growth, service, and character-building in the home. A woman’s calling, when properly understood, is the highest and holiest calling.

With this scriptural comprehension of a woman’s role and mission in mind, it is perfectly understandable that women were expected by past societies to embrace wifehood and motherhood. All of society was predicated upon the idea of the traditional home, in which the woman played a decisive role.

The Christian philosopher and author C.S. Lewis wrote in 1955 of the overarching importance of a woman’s role. His statement captures the high regard in which former societies held women. He wrote to a Mrs. Johnson the following:

[A] housewife’s work . . . is surely, in reality, the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government etc exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes? As Dr Johnson said, ‘To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavour’. (1st to be happy, to prepare for being happy in our own real Home hereafter: 2nd, in the meantime, to be happy in our houses.) We wage war in order to have peace, we work in order to have leisure, we produce food in order to eat it. So your job is the one for which all others exist.”

mother28

This was the attitude that men and women in the pre-feminist world shared. They knew that the woman’s role was central not only to the smooth flow of society, but to the very continuance of the species. Men cherished women and women embraced their nature.

Authors Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly wrote in their phenomenal book The Flipside of Feminism, from which I will quote generously in this article, that far from being oppressed, American women have been the most blessed class of people on planet earth. They wrote of the power women possessed in the past:

Women of yesteryear had enormous power, just of a different variety. Today when we talk about power, we’re referring to money and status. That makes sense, for this kind of power reflects modern values. In the past, when marriage and family took center stage, women were exalted on the home front. Husbands deferred to wives on virtually all household matters, including child rearing. Women were revered for their unique sensibilities” (Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know – and Men Can’t Say, 89).

These two ladies further reasoned in this way:

Despite the failures of the feminist movement, it did have one powerful effect: it eradicated the power women once had over men! Before the 1960s, Americans understood that women had something men wanted, needed, and couldn’t have without a woman’s consent: sex and his own children. By equating sex with love, as women naturally do, men become better human beings – and society is better for it. “Without a durable relationship with a woman, a man’s sexual life is a series of brief and temporary exchanges. With love, sex becomes refined by selectivity. The man himself is refined, and his sexuality becomes not a mere impulse but a commitment in society, wrote George Gilder in Men and Marriage.

Now that feminism has eliminated men’s need and desire to marry, the relationship between the sexes is unstable” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 76-77).

proud-women-thenwomen-now-men-thenmen-now-society-then-society-47908992

In former times, women held much power. As Venker and Schlafly note, however, it was of a different variety. The sphere in which women held so much sway was the most important sphere of all – the home. While men are appointed by Almighty God to be the patriarchs and heads of their homes and to take the lead in providing the necessities of life, in Gospel study, in discipline, in home defense, and so forth, women are the beating heart that keeps a family vibrant and thriving. Their tender influence is vital.

A virtuous woman who could keep house and raise orderly, respectful children was treasured and sought after by honorable men. Honorable men throughout all of human history have fought mightily to defend good women. Disney’s Mulan, though an overtly feminist tale, shared a great truth when the soldiers sang: “What do we want? A girl worth fighting for!” Women have traditionally been so highly valued that men of all races, creeds, and nations have voluntarily laid down their lives by the millions to keep them safe – and more so when they bore and cared for their children.

Our ancestors were far more committed to the doctrines of Christ than we are, which largely accounts for the unparalleled success of Western civilization. They knew of the woman’s honored role in the Gospel Plan. They knew that women are co-creators with God and that motherhood is the highest and holiest calling in eternity. Our Christian forefathers also valued good women because they read the following words in their Bibles:

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. . . .

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. . . .

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:10-12, 25-28, 30).

The Bible is clear that a good woman’s worth is “far above rubies.” Women who humbly embrace their divinely-appointed roles as wives, homemakers, and mothers “shall be praised” for eternity. Their children and husbands will “call [them] blessed” and praise them for their selfless service in the home, and, by extension, in society and the world.

tumblr_oam2wfbQ001sgrduho1_1280

Women of the past knew that “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” They understood that if they wanted to change the world, they could do so most effectively from quiet of their own homes. They knew that raising good children who possess manners, character, virtue, industry, and discipline will do more to change the world than a hundred lifetimes working as lawyers, CEOs, or politicians. Feminism has robbed women of their true power and influence over society by luring them out of the home and away from their God-appointed mission.

Let’s underscore a precious truth: American women have traditionally been the most blessed, privileged, pampered, and doted upon group of women in world history. No women have ever had it better. No women have ever lived in a wealthier, freer, and more advanced society. No women have ever had a greater chance for good in the world than those who call the USA their home.

Yes, women of the past – those modest, classy, feminine, submissive, humble, home-oriented women upon whom modern feminists look with scorn – were blessed and privileged beyond measure. They were happier. They were more fulfilled by being mothers in the home than modern women are by working 9-5 desk jobs. And they were more loved, cared for, and protected by men.

Since the feminist virus infected society, the situation has radically changed. Our women have abdicated their ruby-studded thrones by engaging in demeaning and vicious conduct and entertaining anti-Christian ideals. They reject modesty, femininity, and elegance in favor of raucous immodesty and unlady-like conduct. They dress like hookers. They march nude in the streets. They act like petulant little children and screech about how they are such “victims.” In truth, they have only victimized themselves by fighting for an “equality” which was achieved on day one and embracing rebellious, unwomanly behavior.

Equality itself is a myth. It is a communist slogan designed to play upon people’s emotions. In reality, the only equality that exists is in the eyes of God and under the law. All other so-called “equality” is a lie. Achieving across-the-board “equality” has been the dream of Karl Marx and his co-conspirators in all ages. They want to make everyone equally poor, equally enslaved, and equally miserable. They do this by denying human nature and attempting to artificially force everyone to be the same, which they deem “equality.” Because their scheme denies human nature, it can never work to produce a happy, healthy, free, or successful society.

before-feminism-after-feminism-_happy-inside-_-smiles-when-someone-25922806

Let’s be honest: Some humans are better than others. Note that I did not say some humans have more value than others. We are each beloved sons or daughters of our Eternal Father and have limitless potential. I wrote an entire book, The Lineage of the Gods, to convince people that they can be far more than they think they can.

Rather, what I mean is that some people are simply more competent, more disciplined, more virtuous, more intelligent, more talented, and, accordingly, attain to a higher level of success, goodness, and greatness. There is nothing wrong with this type of inequality. It is the fruit of real Freedom. And there is nothing any government ever devised can do to thwart human nature and put every individual on par with all others. No matter how they might try, there will always be those who are lazy, inept, unintelligent, immoral, and bad – those whose aptitudes and choices earn for them a lower level of glory and reward than their fellows both here and hereafter.

Feminists exemplify this flawed Marxist attitude by always screeching about “equality.” In their book, Venker and Schlafly remarked:

Those who believe women in America have not yet achieved equality or that American women are somehow oppressed and need government intervention to level the playing field, think they’re fighting a nation that has wronged them. In reality, they are fighting human nature” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 178).

feminism14

Another time, these two observant women noted:

The problem with the sexual revolution is that it was predicated on the lies that gender differences don’t exist and that women want what men want. In fact, there was no need for a movement to make men and women equal because they already were equal – different, but equal. The real reason female Democrats tell American women “there is still much work to be done,” as Beth Frerking does in Secrets of Powerful Women, is that they refuse to admit feminism failed. When you desperately want something to happen and it doesn’t, there is always more work to be done. Women on the left are trying to force a square peg into a round hole” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 77).

Equal but different – a perfect phrase. We are each precious children of our Heavenly Father and equally loved by Him, and we are each endowed by Heaven with the equal rights, but in all other ways, we are different. Men and women have different desires. We see things differently. Our minds work differently. Our biology is different. Men tolerate pain and physical stress better than women do. Men fight better and excel more at sporting competitions. Women are naturally more nurturing and usually have a greater level of empathy and tenderness. Both genders – and there are only two genders regardless of what the mentally ill claim – are eternally different. It’s one of the wonderful things about life that while we are not the same, we are made to complement one another and make up where the other lacks. Trying to force us all to be the same is not only impossible and irrational, but at odds with nature and nature’s God.

I again draw a statement from Venker and Schlafly’s book The Flipside of Feminism. The speak about the deranged fight for impossible and undesirable “equality” and how blurring the lines between the genders creates confusion and undermines society:

When women usurp men’s role in society, as they do now, it messes up the order of things. Most men don’t want to compete with women; they want to take care of them. It makes men feel important and boosts their self-esteem. What’s more, statistics prove women want men to have the dominant role in the relationship. Recognizing this doesn’t give men carte blanche to treat women as subordinate – and most men don’t do this, or want to do this. That’s a feminist scare tactic to convince women otherwise.

tumblr_oyyceiWRbT1s9ibg1o1_1280

Today, if a person even alludes to the traditional male/female dance – especially if it’s a man – there is hell to pay. In 2006, Forbes editor Michael Noer wrote an article titled “Don’t Marry Career Women,” which sent feminists into a tizzy and prompted a rebuttal from Noer’s coworker, Elizabeth Corcoran. The point of Noer’s article was to highlight the social science research that proves career women, defined as those who work more than thirty-five hours a week, are “more likely to divorce, less likely to have children, and if they do have kids, are more likely to be unhappy about it.” Noer concedes that many employed mothers are happily married; he simply points out that studies show they’re less likely to be so than mothers who are not employed.

He also highlights a study that found both men and women are unhappy when wives make more money than their husbands. This is an inconvenient truth, to be sure; but that doesn’t make it any less true. It seems that despite women’s desire for independence, they still want to be taken care of – and money is part of that equation.

When women insist on competing with men at the same level, which is what happens when a society adopts the feminist view that men and women are the same, conflict ensues. It rears its ugly head on a logistical issues – as couples face the stress of both spouses having heavy workloads – and it rears its ugly head in the bedroom. It seems that highly educated couples who both spend their days at the office are more likely to cheat. “When your spouse works outside the home, chances increase that he or she will meet someone more likeable than you,” wrote Noer. This is not to suggest women shouldn’t be in the marketplace. But it is to say ramifications ensue when husbands and wives are both subjected to temptations on a consistent basis.

The marriages that stand the best chance of survival (and appear happiest) are those in which husbands and wives are not competing. Traditional marriages, in which wives depend on their husbands’ incomes and husbands defer to their wives on matters related to the home – including how to spend his income – are generally in harmony. Even in households in which women do work outside the home, smart wives don’t bring their professional selves home. They may wield some measure of power in the marketplace; but when they get home, these women take on a more traditional role.

The reversal of gender roles in modern America has been disastrous. It’s great that men spend more time with their kids than their own fathers did, and it’s great that modern advances have allowed women to be successful outside the home. But neither of these developments should eradicate the delicate balance between husbands and wives. They can each take part in the other’s primary role without supplanting it. That should be the goal.

Of all the ways to improve the relationship between the sexes, none is more important than accepting – and embracing – gender differences. Until we understand who men and women are as individuals and how they work in tandem, we will never be happy” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 89-91.

I concur that recognizing and embracing gender differences is one of the single most important things society can do to correct itself and stop its downward spiral. Men are men. Women are women. Why is this such a revolutionary and controversial thing to say? It’s common sense. It’s basic biology. And it’s scriptural.

tumblr_oh80n2R4Zz1vw9qr8o1_640

Society cannot survive when its families are in chaos. As goes the home, goes the society. And our homes cannot help but fracture and fall apart when women and men don’t embrace and fulfill their roles faithfully. Women, your place is in the home. Your Father in Heaven has appointed you to be a wife, homemaker, and mother. You are to support your husband, to submit to him guidance, to rear children, and to give selfless service. Men, your place is at the head of your family. You are the patriarch, provider, and defender of your home. You are to lead, guide, and discipline your wife and children. Children, your place is to honor and obey your parents.

Any other system of family order than the one outlined here is incorrect. “Alternative lifestyles” are not just different, they are wrong. True, life is not perfect and at times we have to amend our roles to fit our circumstances. For instance, at times a husband becomes injured and can’t work and the mother must leave the home to provide for the family. In this situation, this is her duty and she would be negligent not to fulfill it. Yet, the rule is that a woman should not work outside the home when there is no legitimate need – and especially not when children are at home in need of a mother’s touch.

Again I say that society cannot survive in the face of broken homes. Society is but a reflection of its homes. When we see crime, incivility, and immorality on the rise, we can be sure that the seeds of these bad habits were planted and cultivated in the home first. It is generally true that children who are raised correctly and with the Gospel of Jesus Christ as their sure foundation don’t depart from it. Those who are raised by absentee, permissive, or single parents, on the other hand, are exponentially more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, to commit crime, to rape, to murder, and to perpetuate the cycle of broken homes.

Feminism is code for selfishness. Everything feminists do and promote is selfish. Birth control – selfish. Abortion – selfish. Unnecessarily limiting the number of children in a family – selfish. Sleeping around/fornicating – selfish. Working outside the home when it is not a necessity and there are children to be nurtured – selfish. No-fault divorce – selfish. And so on and so forth.

Abortion is perhaps the epitome of feminist self-centeredness. Feminists are so selfish that they are willing to obliterate the life of a helpless, defenseless, innocent, precious baby to avoid being “inconvenienced.” How callous, cruel, and unfeeling can a person be? Abortion is pagan human sacrifice on the altar of selfishness and Marxist ideology. It is barbarism that is incompatible with a free and civil society, incompatible with the Constitution, and incompatible with the fixed laws of Eternity.

When the hedonistic, me-centered “sexual revolution” occurred, it drastically altered the centuries-old dynamic in the home and in society. The primary consequence of the “sexual revolution” was that women and men both no longer felt the need to marry in order to engage in sexual relations. Women, in particular, no long saw marriage as a prerequisite. Venker and Schlafly have observed:

When, we might ask, did getting married and staying married become so difficult? Not surprisingly, at the same time casual sex became fashionable – the 1960s. That’s when feminists began emphasizing the individual over the family good. This shift in focus means American women no longer plan for marriage carefully, methodically, and with foresight. Rather, they are encouraged to focus solely on their identities and their careers. The notion that a woman should follow her own dreams, that she should be true to herself and not be held back by husband and children, has become a fait accompli. Women may want to settle down eventually, but marriage (and motherhood) is something that just sort of happens, as if it were a nice accompaniment to an otherwise fulfilling life. To the modern woman, work is the meat of her life. A husband is the salad.

This is a profound transformation. Married couples no longer think of themselves as one unit but as separate entities sharing space, which leads to an obscuring of gender roles and inevitable conflict as each spouse focuses solely on his or her own needs rather than the needs of the marriage. “The confusion over roles is there, as are the legacies of a self-absorbed, me-first, feminist-do-or-die, male-backlash society,” wrote Judith Wallerstein and Sandra Blakeslee in The Good Marriage: How and Why Love Lasts.

Men’s reaction to this phenomenon is twofold. They either give in to the new regime feminists have created, or they give up. Those who give in generally do so because they’ve either bought into the lie that women are just like men or because it’s easier to get along with the women in their lives than to fight them.

The men who give up tend to remain silent, for if they speak out against feminism, they’ll be labeled chauvinists. Many men would like to get married, but they know modern marriages are precarious. There’s also no incentive for them to do so since they can have sex whenever they want and even live with their girlfriends with little interference from society. This was the theme of the movie He’s Just Not That Into You. Two of the main characters, Neil and Berth, have been living together for seven years, but she dumps him when she realizes he isn’t going to marry her. Rather than accept her share of the blame (by choosing to cohabitate in the first place), Beth suggests Neil is the bad guy for not wanting to get married.

image21

He’s Just Not That Into You is a splendid example of how feminism failed women. The sexual revolution was billed as something that would put women on par with men, but instead it has ruptured the male/female relationship. At first, women hesitate to get married because they think they’ll lose their identities if they do; then when they are ready to get married (because their biological clocks are ticking), the men in their lives don’t want to marry them.

That is hardly progress on the road to happiness” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 75-77.

A major part of this massive cultural shift we’re discussing was coaxing women out of the safety and comfort of their homes into the fast-paced workplace. Instead of enjoying fulfilling lives raising the next generation of leaders, businessmen, scientists, teachers, and so forth, women now waste their lives away in stale office jobs that can never offer them fulfillment or authentic happiness. I appeal yet again to Venker and Schlafly who wrote:

One of the ways 1970s feminists lured women out of the home was to demand that they focus their education on subjects that would advance their careers, rather than focus on subjects related to homemaking or teaching. Elite feminists push all women to plan their lives around careers. The result is that young women give little thought to marriage and motherhood and instead spend upwards of a decade becoming highly qualified for the workplace. Women believe this is the better life plan, since their mothers’ lives, they are told, were empty and meaningless. Women in previous decades may have had jobs, but they didn’t have careers. Like tempting children with candy, feminists assured women that there was a better life to be had. “Whether girls heard the call of independence from their family or the outside culture, they listened,” wrote Dr. Jean Twenge in Generation Me” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 51-52).

The siren song of “equality” and “independence” has gained women extra burdens and greater misery while depriving them of the love and respect of men and true happiness. Real men don’t care what a woman’s profession is. We honestly don’t. And, furthermore, a woman who intends to continue working when married, for no reason other than that she is an “independent woman who don’t need no man,” is a major turn off. Rather, men want to know whether or not a woman will be committed to her husband, home, and family; whether she will be a submissive, virtuous, and gentle wife; and whether she’s mature enough to know that motherhood is her ultimate calling.

The great spiritual leader David O. McKay once gave us a principle that applies to both men and women, but which especially applies to women who, by divine design, are supposed to be in the home more frequently:

The home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home” (President David O. McKay, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Family Home Evening Manual, preface, iii).

Your highest calling, ladies, will be in your own home as a mother and a wife. You’re chasing a pipe dream if you expect to find happiness and fulfillment outside of the home. Though you should always expand your mind in the areas of history, politics, science, etc., you should base your education – both in and out of school – on developing the skills that will help you be a more successful spouse, wife, homemaker, and mother. You need to learn that the home is where you were designed to shine. It is the place where you can do the most good for others and where you can find the greatest measure of fulfillment. Women, society needs you to come home. We cannot survive another generation of motherless homes.

I share one final statement from Venker and Schlafly. They testified:

The truth is that feminism has been the single worst thing that has happened to American women. It did not liberate women at all – it confused them. It made their lives harder. Women today are caught between man and nature . . . Their female nature tells them sex requires love; marriage is important; children are a blessing; and men are necessary. The culture, meanwhile, tells them to sleep around and postpone family life because that will cost them their identity. And, if their marriage doesn’t work out, it’s no big deal. They can always get divorced.

Is it any wonder modern women are unhappy?” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism, 55).

When you look at modern women, it is obviously they are not happy. They are bitter and caustic. They have a massive victim complex. And they lash out in disgusting ways unbecoming the “fairer sex.” And is it any wonder they’re so unhappy and riotous? They’ve denied their own nature, rejected the beautiful role God gave them, and have attempted to live like inferior men. As my Dad always said, feminists take the worst qualities of men, seek to imitate them (and fail), and call it “equality.”

I feel to address one additional aspect of the feminist nightmare through which society is passing. The “Women’s Liberation” movement is part and parcel of a much larger, world-wide scheme for the overthrow and subjugation of humanity. Yes, I’m referring to the c-word – conspiracy.

cultural-marxism-destruction

The Illuminati, whether people want to admit it or not, exited. That’s historically irrefutable. It is also irrefutable that they did not die out, as the court historians claim. Indeed, as I document in my books, you can trace the Illuminati to the birth of a particular ideology – communism. An Illuminati offshoot group, the League of the Just, hired Karl Marx to write The Communist Manifesto and changed its name to the Communist League. 70 years later, this same organization, under a new name, led the coup which conquered Russia and created the Soviet Union. Thus, communism is Illuminism. And it is a Satanic scheme that is very much alive and active in our world under a cornucopia of names and labels.

A major component of the Illuminati/communist vision was to “abolish the family.” Adam Weishaupt, the Illuminati’s occultist founder, explained their plot this way:

There is no way of influencing men so powerfully as by means of the women. These should therefore be our chief study; we should insinuate ourselves into their good opinion, give them hints of emancipation from the tyranny of public opinion, and of standing up for themselves; it will be an immense relief to their enslaved minds to be freed from any one bond of restraint, and it will fire them the more, and cause them to work for us with zeal, without knowing that they do so; for they will only be indulging their own desire of personal admiration” (John Robison, Proofs of a Conspiracy, 111).

Did you catch that? The Illuminati understood that men are the defenders of society. If you invade a nation, it is the men who mobilize and fight to repel you. And they fight for the purpose of protecting their women and children. These same women and children, therefore, are their weakness – their Achilles’ heel. If you can successfully manipulate the women, you can also manipulate the men and influence the rising generation. The chief way the Illuminati-communists have manipulated women in modern times is by employing the fancy slogan of “emancipation” (i.e. “liberation” from the patriarchy, “equality” with men, and “independence”).

Thus, “Women’s Liberation,” from the very beginning, had an ulterior motive – the destruction of the family unit. Later Illuminati agents, calling themselves Marxists, communists, and socialists, openly championed the Suffragette, Women’s Liberation, feminist, and LGBT movements. They are the LGBT movement’s chief sponsors and spokesmen today.

Feminism is nothing but a communist front movement. Communists such as the Bolshevik Inessa Armand have boasted of this fact. She said:

If women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women’s liberation.”

Yes, all feminists are default communists. They are perhaps the deadliest Marxists in the world because they target the most sensitive and important of all institutions – the home. Little do feminist women know that they are being manipulated by a small group of evil men who are using them to destroy good men and topple society. Communists are the hammer, women are the anvil, and the family unit is being hammered to pieces in between the two.

When we compare women then and women now, feminism’s destructive influence is readily apparent. We can judge a tree by its fruit. Infanticide, broken homes, failed marriages, raging selfishness, rampant hedonism, widespread victim complexes, dysfunctional children, bitter men, and unhappy women are the rotten fruits. We would be exceedingly foolish to conclude that feminism is anything but a perversion and aberration that needs to be dumped onto the ash heap of history and forgotten.

Our forefathers honored and loved their women. The “patriarchy,” so-called, understood the divine roles of men and women; that we are equal in God’s eyes, but different in our functionality. They set up society to protect women and make their careers as wives, homemakers, and mothers as easy as possible. And they cherished those good women who embraced their godly calling and fulfilled it with humility.

What feminists call “oppression” that is, patriarchal families, wifely submission, sound families, strong marriages, and happy homes – is true Freedom. And what they call “liberation” – phantom “equality,” lonely lives, 9-5 desk jobs, a lower level of competence and respect, and less admiration and devotion from men who don’t benefit at all from women’s selfishness – is hellish enslavement. If we truly want to celebrate and honor women this International Women’s Day, we will ditch the Marxist talking points, admit that feminism has corrupted women, torn apart families, and undermined society, and begin to encourage women to return to their homes where they can serve as queens, with all the honor that her lofty station deserves.

Russian105

Ladies, the home is where you were designed to shine! The home is where society needs you to be. It is where God has called you to utilize your talents for the greatest good of yourselves and society. Woman, please come home before it’s too late.

Russia – Bastion of Traditionalism?

Cultural Marxism is at the root of the chaos we see in the world today. Feminism and LGBT mania, for instance, are communist front movements. The entire spectrum of anti-traditional trends has been promoted by the communist conspiracy since day one. Russia picked up the Marxist-feminist standard with the advent of Bolshevism and has carried it ever since. The purpose of today’s article is to obliterate the prevalent notion that Russia is a family-friendly “bastion of traditionalism” and share the truth that Russia is the true home of modern feminism.

feminism12

I can’t express how dismayed I am every time I see a self-proclaimed traditionalist, or a fellow Christian, refer to Russia in glowing terms. In “trad” social media groups and on traditionalist pages and websites, I routinely encounter people parroting Moscow’s propaganda about how “traditional” Russia is, how “feminine” the women are, how Russia is a “bastion of masculinity,” how there is a Christian “revival” occurring, and how wonderful Vladimir Putin is. Each and every point just mentioned flies in the face of the facts and is an inversion of reality.

I will focus primarily on the first three of the five points listed. Before discussing the first item, perhaps we should address we mean by “traditionalism.” Apart from the obvious definition that traditionalism means upholding tradition, regardless of what that tradition is, the sense in which the word is used today is defined by Google as “the theory that all moral and religious truth comes from divine revelation passed on by tradition, human reason being incapable of attaining it.”

This is an accurate enough definition, though in popular parlance it usually refers to culture and families. Traditionalism is a culture. It is a mentality and philosophy. It is a way of life. Those who live a “traditional” life are those who embrace marriage, create families, are sexually upright, reject degeneracy, and are generally conservative and modest in manners, dress, appearance, and behavior. Traditionalism is heavily linked – I would argue inexorably linked – to Christian values and Christian views on marriage, family, and morality.

With this in mind, is Russia a “bastion of traditionalism”? That is, does Russia, as a society, embrace the traditional or Christian perspective of marriage, family, sexual purity, modesty, and upright behavior? Any honest examination of the reality on the ground – and I have seen that reality firsthand as I lived in Russia for two years and spent my days talking with average folks and meeting inside their homes – must conclude that Russia is not a traditional society.

Let’s analyze a few statistics and points of history. We must remember that Russia was conquered by the alien Bolshevik forces in 1917. The first communist regime was approximately 85% Jewish. That is, it was virulently anti-Christian and devoid of morals. Christian chapels were looted and then literally demolished. Priests were shot. Nuns were raped. And Orthodox cathedrals all across Russia were converted into “Museums of Atheism,” complete with pagan statues and blatantly anti-Christ exhibits. This had the effect of hardening the people and they remain hardhearted towards religion in general to this day, only attending church on holidays to gawk and take pictures at the astonishingly fanatical and theatrical displays of Orthodox priests.

communism759

The rhyming caption reads: “Religion is Poison. Protect Children.” It shows the Christian woman as an old, oppressive hag thwarting the child’s progression and desire to go to school by trying to force an outdated religion on her.

One of the Soviets’ first orders of business was to abolish church marriage and institute in its place civil marriage. In fact, they desired to abolish marriage altogether and began by replacing religious marriages with civil unions and figured the institution would “wither away” of its own accord. Some Communist Party members even performed “red marriages” in mockery of traditional Christian marriage.

The institution of marriage was and is viewed by the Marxists as inherently oppressive. They see marriage as slavery. It was in The Communist Manifesto that these enemies of humanity had threatened the “abolition of the family” throughout the world. In harmony with this evil design, the Reds began destroying marriage in Russia. In 1925, a Soviet publication in boasted:

Already the Soviet power has freed [marriage] from any superfluous shackles, has eliminated from it all religious and ecclesiastical survivals. . . . Marriage in Soviet legislation has ceased to be a prison” (Harold J. Berman, “Soviet Family Law in the Light of Russian History and Marxist Theory,” Yale Law Journal, Vol. 56, Issue 1, 36, 1946).

Indeed, the communists made marriage an irrelevant and unnecessary formality of social life. Not just marriage, but the family as a whole was also targeted. After effecting their coup, the Bolsheviks set to work rewriting the Russian Family Code. Soviet Russia became the first nation to institute no-fault divorce. Divorce became so absurdly easy that you could actually send your spouse a letter in the mail saying “we’re divorced” and it was legally binding. In this sort of culture, marriage lost its sacred stature and divorce became the norm. They legalized abortion-on-demand and even subsidized it. And they did their best to collectivize children and make sure they were raised out of the home and in public schools where they could be indoctrinated in Marxist thought.

Russia Beyond gives us a glimpse into the Soviet attack on traditionalism. In his article “How sexual revolution exploded (and imploded) across 1920s Russia,” Alexander Rodchenko wrote:

““On the abolition of marriage” and “On civil partnership, children and ownership” were among the first decrees of the Soviets in 1918. Church weddings were abolished, civil partnership introduced. Divorce was a matter of choice. Abortions were legalized. All of that implied a total liberation of family and sexual relations. This heralded the beginning of the raunchiest epoch in recent Russian history.

A relaxed attitude to nudism was a vivid sign of the times: on the bank of the Moskva river, near the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour [which Stalin later blew up and replaced with the world’s largest swimming pool], a nude beach formed, the likes of which Western Europe could not have dreamed of at the time. . . .

communism787

Rape by 1920s has become an epidemic. Quite strikingly, sexual violence towards former noble and bourgeois women was for a time even considered “class justice” among the proletarian males. Meanwhile, up to 20 percent of Russia’s male population had carried sexually-transmitted diseases . . . New laws on marriage and the overall atmosphere of breaking with the past encouraged promiscuity and casual approach to sex, unthinkable just years ago.

Soviet society was breeding a dangerous generation of homeless orphans – official reports indicate that, by 1923, half of the children born in Moscow had been conceived out of wedlock, and many of them were abandoned in infancy.”

Yes, the Marxist sexual revolution was in full swing in Russia before most in the West had even contemplated it. It made havoc of families and homes and left, as you have seen and will see, a trail of societal desolation, broken hearts, and destroyed individuals in its wake – just as it was designed to do.

One of the best analyses of the family during this dark era of history is found in Paul Kengor’s superb book Takedown. I excise several choice paragraphs and share them with you:

The disciples of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were committed to a revolution in family life, to a radical rupture in traditional relations between husband and wife and parents and children. Their first and most ardent practitioners, the Bolsheviks, followed the new faith with reckless abandon. . . .

The Russian Orthodox Church’s long-standing prohibition against divorce was lifted by the Bolsheviks, leading to an explosion in divorce rates and utter havoc upon the Russian family. The dramatic combined effect of an immediate full liberalization of divorce laws and institution of “red weddings” became especially acute with the corresponding complete legalization of abortion in 1920, which was an unprecedented action anywhere in the world at the time. With those changes and the squashing of the Russian Orthodox Church and its guidance in marriage and families and children and education and more, Lenin and his allies dealt a severe blow to marital and family life in traditionally religious Russia. Right out of the gate, within the first months and years after they seized power, the Bolsheviks had initiated these jolts to society. . . . .

In the Soviet Union and other subsequent communist countries that followed suit, the effect on marriage and the family was nothing short of catastrophic. The divorce rate skyrocketed to levels unseen inhuman history. In short order, it seemed as though everyone in Moscow had a divorce. One Russian man, painfully recalling his boyhood years from the late 1920s, stated, “The years 1929 to 1932 were the unhappiest period for my family. At that time there were many cases of divorce. Many of our acquaintances got divorced. It was like an epidemic.”

The numbers grew worse decade by decade. As one study reported in the 1960s, “it is not unusual” to meet Soviet men and women who had been married and divorced upwards of fifteen times.

The world certainly took notice of this domestic carnage. It looked to outsiders as if these communists really were looking to abolish marriage. In fact, it is instructive that the influential American magazine the Atlantic published a 1926 piece with the title “The Russian Effort to Abolish Marriage.”

If divorce was an epidemic in the USSR, abortion was a black plague.

The Bolsheviks legalized abortion shortly after they seized power. Like divorce, it was a rare area where the communists allowed for individual freedom. Here they enacted full privatization. So long as the family went up in flames, it seemed, the communists would eagerly allow full and free private ownership of gasoline and matches – with no rationing. You weren’t free to own a farm or factory or business or bank account or go to church or print your own newspaper, but if you wanted a divorce or abortion, the sky was the limit in Bolshevik Russia.

Having overthrown the ship of state and murdered the entire Romanov family in July 1918 – a fitting symbol to the coming war on the family – Vladimir Lenin made good on his June 1913 promise for an “unconditional annulment of all laws against abortions.” By 1920, abortion was fully and legally available and provided free of charge to Russian women. The number of abortions skyrocketed.

communism802

By 1934 Moscow women were having three abortions for every live birth, shocking ratios that American women, in the worst, wildest throes of Roe v. Wade, never approached. The toll was so staggering that an appalled Joseph Stalin, the mass murderer, actually banned abortion in 1936, fearing a vanishing populace. . . .

. . . A more progressive Nikita Khrushchev put things back in order in 1955, reversing Stalin’s abortion ban (and ramping up religious persecution), thus allowing rates to ascend to heights heretofore unwitnessed in human history. One authoritative source from the late 1960s reported, “One can find Soviet women who have had twenty abortions.”

By the 1970s, the Soviet Union was averaging 7 to 8 million abortions per year, annihilating whole future generations of Russian children. (America, with a similar population, averaged nearer 1.5 million abortions per year after Roe was approved in 1973.)” (Paul Kengor, Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and Marriage, 32-35).

Let’s build on this information with a few more quotations. The next statements come from the 1926 article Kengor mentioned titled “The Russian Effort to Abolish Marriage.” It informs us:

The question whether marriage as an institution should be abolished is now being debated all over Russia with a violence and depth of passion unknown since the turbulent early days of the Revolution. . . .

One must live in Russia to-day, amid the atmosphere of torment, disgust, and disillusionment that pervades sex relations, the chaos, uncertainty, and tragedy that hover over the Russian family, to understand the reasons for this heated discussion, for these passionate pros and cons.

When the Bolsheviki came into power in 1917 they regarded the family, like every other ‘bourgeois’ institution, with fierce hatred, and set out with a will to destroy it. ‘To clear the family out of the accumulated dust of the ages we had to give it a good shakeup, and we did,’ declared Madame Smidovich, a leading Communist and active participant in the recent discussion. So one of the first decrees of the Soviet Government abolished the term ‘illegitimate children.’ This was done simply by equalizing the legal status of all children, whether born in wedlock or out of it. . . .

At the same time a law was passed which made divorce a matter of a few minutes, to be obtained at the request of either partner in a marriage. Chaos was the result. Men took to changing wives with the same zest which they displayed in the consumption of the recently restored forty-per-cent vodka.

communism799

Street children in Stalin’s USSR

Some men have twenty wives, living a week with one, a month with another,’ asserted an indignant woman delegate during the sessions of the Tzik. ‘They have children with all of them, and these children are thrown on the street for lack of support! (There are three hundred thousand bezprizorni or shelterless children in Russia to-day, who are literally turned out on the streets. They are one of the greatest social dangers of the present time, because they are developing into professional criminals. More than half of them are drug addicts and sex perverts. It is claimed by many Communists that the break-up of the family is responsible for a large percentage of these children.)

The peasant villages have perhaps suffered most from this revolution in sex relations. An epidemic of marriages and divorces broke out in the country districts. Peasants with a respectable married life of forty years and more behind them suddenly decided to leave their wives and remarry. Peasant boys looked upon marriage as an exciting game and changed wives with the change of seasons. It was not an unusual occurrence for a boy of twenty to have had three or four wives, or for a girl of the same age to have had three or four abortions.”

This is only a snippet. I encourage you to read the full article at this link. I urge you to comprehend that communism brought about the destruction of the family in Russia – and that the wreckage can be seen everywhere today. And we need not try to divorce feminism from communism, for it was the Bolshevik revolutionary Inessa Armand (who also had an affair with Lenin) who proudly boasted:

If women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women’s liberation.”

Suffice it to say that Soviet Russia obliterated the family unit and destroyed the institution of marriage. Human life was made cheap and infanticide reached mind-boggling proportions. Marriage lost its significance and divorce became something everyone did. Even homosexuality and transgenderism flourished in the early days of the Soviet Union, with one Russian writer commenting that “members of the gay community were incredibly brave – some wore women’s dresses and corsets, wore their hair long and often looked like real women.”

communism803

Those who think the West introduced feminism and LGBT madness to Russia need to get their story straight – it was the other way around. We are just starting to really deal with those problems that have plagued Russia for over a century. The Bolsheviks deliberately exported these feminist ideas everywhere they could – particularly to the West – with the deliberate intention of weakening us so that we would succumb to their world revolution. It was the Jewish-Marxist radical Willi Munzenberg, of Frankfurt School fame, who is quoted as saying: “We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.” Sadly, their efforts have nearly succeeded – though thankfully our culture doesn’t yet stink as badly as Russian culture.

This is the awful legacy and crumbling foundation modern Russia is working from. While you can perhaps say today’s Russia is an improvement, the difference is negligible. Despite the carefully-concocted propaganda, Russian society has yet to break free from Soviet norms and is still further advanced down the road of cultural Marxism than the United States. Russian women still abort far more of their babies than their American counterparts and have a lower birth rate. And Russia has a staggering 60% divorce rate – the highest in the world. Russian homes are in tatters and their culture remains hostile to the traditional family. In no sense whatsoever can Russia be considered a “bastion of traditionalism.”

Let’s now move on to the second point. How feminine are Russian women? And do they really reject “Western” feminism as we so frequently hear? Sadly, the answer is no, they’re not particularly feminine and they don’t reject feminism. I’m convinced that most people believe Russian women are feminine because a good many Russian women are exceptionally attractive and, outwardly, dress in skirts and heels and always do up their face and hair. But is this what real femininity is?

Wikipedia defines femininity as “a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with women and girls.” According to this definition, you might be able to get away with calling women “feminine” if you really stretch it. But when we couch this in terms of traditionalism, the attempt falls flat. Remember, part of being traditional is being modest and moral. Russian women are not modest. Trust me on this one. Russian women are in the habit of wearing very short skirts, revealing attire, and overdoing it on makeup and accessories. They spend an exorbitant amount of their money on cosmetics, furs, and fancy clothes and shoes.

And what about behavior? Part of being feminine is to act ladylike and fulfill womanly duties like motherhood. 65% of Russian women work – a substantially higher percentage than in the United States. That’s not terribly feminine. Why aren’t these “feminine” women at home with their children? Perhaps one reason they’re in the workplace instead of in the home is that they don’t have a family. Remember, 60% of Russian marriages end in divorce. Also, the birthrate in Russia is pitifully low and even lower than the U.S. birthrate at 1.75 children per family. Again, this behavior is not very feminine.

Furthermore, Russian women are bossy – like Western feminists. They’re often shrill – again, just like Western feminists. Frankly, they push the men around and I’ve seen them be both physically and verbally abusive. They also drink, do drugs, and sleep around at a higher rate than Western women (though, fortunately, alcohol consumption is decreasing). Russia has one of the most rapidly rising AIDS/HIV epidemics in the world due in large part to the rampant sexual immorality. Can women who break the Lord’s law of chastity honestly be considered feminine?

Russia5

Russians in general engage in many behaviors that are repugnant to most Americans, such as public urination and defecation (though San Francisco, Commiefornia apparently sees nothing wrong with this). It’s a real problem. I watched mothers teaching their young boys to pee on the road and in the streets – not in emergency situations, but as a matter of course. I’ve even seen grown women squatting on the side of the road doing their business as people walked by. Fortunately, American women haven’t yet followed that trend.

Prostitution and public indecency are also massive problems in Russia. I’ve never seen so many prostitutes in one place in my life as I did in Russia. You’d see them selling their bodies on the side of the road as their handlers waited in a dirty van behind them. Then, down the road, their mafia oversees sat in cars monitoring police radios so they could warn their girls to run if the cops were on their way. I witnessed this phenomenon on more than one occasion. It’s remarkable how fast some women can run in high heels. I guess, as Vladimir Putin said, Russia has the best hookers.

As for pornography, the “new drug” that is scourging the world, I saw men and women both looking at pornographic magazines and videos while riding on trains or public transport. Billboards could also be a tad too salacious at times and you’d see far too much skin whenever you saw people sunbathing or swimming. If you visited the markets (the same ones where ripped-off American products or cheap knockoffs of everything imaginable proliferated), you had to be careful where you looked.

It’s sad that the sex-industrial complex is so well-established that we have detailed analytics on porn usage by country, region, state, gender, device type, day of the week, search category, and so forth, but we do. According to the data, Russia ranks 12th in global traffic to the world’s largest online porn site and their top search category is “Russian.” And there are a lot of Russian porn stars to search considering that Russia ranks #2 in the world (behind, tragically, our own country) in contributing female “actresses” to pornographic films (five of the top ten porn-star-contributing nations are Russia and four of its “former” Soviet satellites).

Russia9

In short, Russian women are gripped by feminism without even realizing it. No, they don’t consider themselves feminist – but neither do American women if statistics are to be believed. Yet, the feminist culture dominates. It is exhibited in habits and thought patterns. Russian women, like women in the West at the present time, are conditioned to believe that they are “liberated” by being single and sexually debauched, “free” when they murder their offspring, and “fulfilled” when they work. They are not submissive ladies and are in fact more willing to walk all over you, hit you, curse you out, cheat on you, or divorce you than American women are. Simply, don’t buy the hype about the “feminine” Russian woman.

The third and final point on our list I will cover only briefly. There is a myth circulating on the internet, perpetuated largely by Marxist-controlled Hollywood, that Russian men are masculine and strong. Sorry to burst the bubble, but this is laughably untrue. The Hollywood image of a tall, broad, muscular man with a great big beard is the polar opposite of reality in today’s Russia. Most Russian men are short, scrawny, and look as if they’ve been on a concentration camp diet. On a daily basis, I’d shake hands with people I met with on the streets. And on a daily basis Russian men audibly gasped and winced when I shook their hands. For the most part, they had a limp-wristed grip. A handshake really does tell you a lot about a person.

In 2007, I participated in a three-on-three basketball tournament in the small city of Ramenskoye to the south of Moscow. One of the opposing teams had a player from the Russian national basketball team on it. When we played them, I guarded the professional player. I held him scoreless and usually out-rebounded him even though he was one of the few Russians I ever met who was taller than me (I’m almost 6’1” and at the time I had lost thirty pounds and weighed only 160 lbs.). He was frustrated and thought I played too rough. I played against Russians in basketball, soccer, tackle football, and gatorball and in each case Russian men and boys wined about how physical Americans played (I’ve read that pro players from other countries almost universally observe the same thing when they come to America to play). In truth, they were simply unfit wimps. Physically, the average Russian man is a pitiful specimen.

Russia10

Hollywood is not reality

Naturally, there’s more to masculinity and character than physicality. A real man should be chivalrous, gentlemanly, courteous, polite, hard-working, a protector of women, have an upright character, be totally loyal to his wife and marriage covenants, and so forth. When this is applied to Russian men, however, they fail again. Russian men are, as a whole, drunkards. They also use a large amount of drugs.

In the city of Mytishchi where I lived for a time, you’d see drug needles littering the streets and our church building happened to be located in what people called “the drug area” (which was also home to numerous prostitutes and mafia groups). Russian SWAT routinely raided our neighbor’s property looking for drugs. In some cities, it was common to see Russians walking down the road with alcohol in one hand and a cigarette in the other. More times than I can count I’ve seen Russian men passed out in the street, peeing on themselves in public, convulsing from drugs in a corner alley, or dancing lewdly and making fools of themselves in front of everyone. The constant smell of cigarette smoke hanging in the air really completed the atmosphere.

Additionally, Russian men brawl and fight, curse and quarrel. It was routine to see men walking or staggering down the street covered in blood from either fighting or falling down drunk and bashing their face. The number of Russian men with missing or broken teeth was also astonishing – again, largely from brawling or drunkenness. And the number of Russian men who had been to prison – as evidenced by their tattoos – was also staggering.

As noted, Russian men get pushed around by their women (that is, when they’re not committing rape and murder at high rates). And why wouldn’t they? Russia is a feminist country – the first feminist country. It is a bastion of feminism and yet they don’t even realize it. Russian men (and, sadly, many Western men) see their raucous and dangerous behavior as some sort of masculinity. But it’s not real masculinity; it’s juvenile and crass. Drunkenness, fighting, prolific swearing (when I learned the various forms of the f-word in Russian, I was shocked at how commonplace their usage was), sexual unchastity, violent criminality, and physical unfitness do not a masculine nation make.

When you really look at the whole picture, Russia is not the “bastion of traditionalism” that propagandists and those who have been taken in by propaganda claim. I wish Russia was a bastion of Faith, Families, and Freedom. This is my wish for my own country and for every nation on earth. I yearn for the day when evil will be swept away, when the communist cancer will be eradicated, when feminism will die its natural death, when corruption and war are terminated, when sanity will prevail once more, when the Gospel of Jesus Christ sinks deep into every heart, and when Freedom will prevail.

feminism2

Sadly, we are not there yet and won’t be until the Lord returns in His glory. Until then, Russia stands as an enemy to the human race. The notion that “communism is dead” and “the USSR collapsed” is one of the most devastatingly effective ruses ever pulled on the world. The reality is that the Soviets faked their demise and communism never died. Indeed, the communist conspiracy is more powerful and prevalent than ever before. Russia, China, and their allies are in a strategically advantageous position over the West and the final clash draws closer despite Washington’s boast of strength and stability. You will live to see Russia and China strike the United States and initiate world war. Mark my words.

One final word is in order. You have doubtless noted the contempt in my tone. Let me make it clear that my contempt is for the Russian government and for the communist regime that so thoroughly demoralized and beat down the Russian people. I don’t hate the Russian people – I pity them. They are a product of communism – victims of the most wicked conspiracy ever created. I pity them and pray for them.

Here is the reality: Russia today is the America of tomorrow unless we root out the communist cancer among us. Russia is not following the West, as I so often hear, but we are following them – and to our detriment. From no-fault-divorce to civil marriages to abortion-on-demand to massive drunkenness to feminist women and emasculated men, Russia set the example and blazed the trail. And yet, still, there remain some fantastic individuals, including the most humble man I’ve ever met in my life – a spiritual giant from Ukraine who settled in Moscow who call Russia home.

I mentioned that I lived in Russia for two years. I was there as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – one of the few foreign proselytizing churches that hasn’t been banned and kicked out by Putin’s regime (though Putin recently signed laws that severely restrict our ability to do the Lord’s work). I walked the streets speaking with Russians about their core beliefs, about their aspirations, and about their families. I met with them in their homes and churches. I visited the cities and villages. These people told me their life stories. They shared their beliefs about God. And some of them became lasting friends. I was even, for a short while after I returned home, engaged to a Russian gal.

My point is that I don’t hate the Russians. I love them and spent many nights on my knees praying for them. I do, however, hate communism. I hate the Russian regime that rules in Moscow and despise the KGB conspirator named Vladimir Putin who rules in the Kremlin and pretends he’s a Christian and traditionalist, despite his well-publicized affairs and broken marriage, so that the gullible will sympathize with and support Russia as some sort of world “savior.” Don’t fall for it.

One day, I firmly believe, though it will probably come only after a day of fire and cataclysm, Russia will throw off her shackles and become the Christian nation too many people wrongly believe she is now. The blood of Israel runs in their veins, as it does in the veins of most Caucasian peoples, and they have a glorious future. They will be gathered in by the Lord, but the time is not yet. At present, a communist pseudo-tsar rules in Moscow. Russia’s unparalleled stockpile of nuclear and biological weapons stands ready to be used to bring about the one-world order and one-world religion dreamed of by the global Elite. If we continue to allow the cultural Marxism imported into our nation by the Bolsheviks to infect us, we will be weak enough for the Elite to carry out their pre-planned strike.

It was this article’s purpose to wave the smelling salts under your nose to awaken you from the mental fantasy that Russia is a “bastion of traditionalism” and the hope of the world. Russia is, in truth, the home of feminism and the world leader in cultural degradation. The West is the way it is because we have followed Russia’s example. If we seek to reverse the trends, we need to stop listening to Russian propaganda and those who buy into it and instead cling to the traditions, values, and institutions that made Western Christian civilization great.

communism247

As Americans, we must rush forward to defend our Faith, Families, and Freedom against Marxist machinations whether promoted by Washington, Moscow, Tel Aviv, London, or Beijing. Our only hope is in turning to the Lord Jesus Christ and in rejecting all anti-Christ philosophies. If we seek traditionalism, we must look for it here at home – not on the Red steppes of Russia.

The Most Hated Minority

I am the most hated minority on the planet. Let me explain. The controlled press would have you believe that blacks, people of color, people afflicted by homosexuality, women, the poor, or Jews, are the most hated minorities, that these groups are oppressed and don’t get a fair shake in this “racist,” “sexist,” “white nationalist” “patriarchy” we live in. The reality, of course, is that the various groups mentioned are protected classes. They are the privileged ones, along with the Elite puppet masters who lead them by the nose. I am the real hated minority.

If I’m the most hated minority, what am I? What are the qualifications to be considered the most hated minority? In short, I am:

1. White

2. Male

3. Heterosexual

4. American

5. Constitutionalist

6. Independent voter

7. Idahoan

8. Live in rural communities

9. A “conspiracy theorist”

10. A Christian (and, more damning still, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)

This, my dear reader, is the real definition of “minority” in today’s world. According to nearly every metric, I’m in the minority. Everything I am, believe in, and stand for is everything the ruling Elite hate and are attempting to destroy. I’ll discuss each of the ten points listed above and explain why this marks me, and you if you share these traits, as a true “minority.”

1. Being white in today’s politically correct world is tantamount to having leprosy in ancient times. White skin often bars you from opportunities and “privileges” that non-whites enjoy on college campuses, in Hollywood, in competitions, in media coverage, in applying for jobs, and so forth. Affirmative Action has stamped anti-white racism on our institutions. And the Jewish-Marxist “white guilt” mantra has done incalculable harm to the American psyche, including severing us from our roots by making us demonize the heroes of our past. This anti-white crusade has become so blatantly obvious that two years ago a poll suggested that 55% of white Americans now believe whites are discriminated against. And how can they not think this? After all, Oklahoma police recently investigated a sign proclaiming “It’s okay to be white” as a possible “hate crime.” To be white and proud of that fact is “hateful” in the eyes of the demonic Elite.

In an article titled “The US white majority will soon disappear forever,” The Chicago Reporter explained that by 2050 whites will be a minority in both the United States and Europe – the last real bastions of Caucasian peoples on earth. The article takes a swipe at whites, referring to anyone alarmed at this demographic trend as “white nationalists.” They gloated: “White nationalists want America to be white again. But this will never happen. America is on its way to becoming predominantly nonwhite.” The Reporter also noted that two of the major reasons for this trend are the pitifully low white birth statistics and the massive Latin immigration into the United States.

It is a crying shame that society is taught that having children is a bad thing or “dangerous” for the environment. In the past, large families were the rule and they ought to become so again. Today, all races have lower birth rates than in the past and the average white family, ranking among the lowest, only has 1.7 children – not even enough to sustain itself. And don’t think this is by accident. It is the result of a coordinated global effort at population control.

The constant anti-marriage, anti-family attacks by feminists and LGBT radicals – that is, by cultural Marxists – is mostly responsible for our declining families. Red environmentalists have also played their part by deceiving people into believing that the earth cannot sustain our current population, let alone a larger population. And, not to be discounted, is the constant sexualization of our civilization which places emphasis not on love or selfless and responsible relationships, but on selfish, me-centered, hedonistic ones. Spencer W. Kimball, a great warrior for Christ, once taught that “a sexless civilization would die in one generation, if indeed it could be born. A sexy civilization will die of its own rottenness when it is ripe in iniquity” (Spencer W. Kimball, “Love vs. Lust,” Devotional, July 10, 1974).

As bad as it is becoming in the United States and Europe, in nations like South Africa, being white can be a death sentence. The controlled media has carefully covered up the fact that the blacks in South Africa, spurred on by their black communist government once headed by the convicted terrorist Nelson Mandela, are perpetrating white genocide. White farmers are having their land stolen. Whites are being murdered literally every day. And white women are being brutally raped by the savage local populations. The numbers are horrifying. Upwards of 70,000 whites have been butchered since Nelson Mandela’s communist regime took power in 1994. In the majority of cases, hatred – not theft – is the reason for the murders. The theft of the whites’ land is usually only an after thought.

As much as I disapprove of many Israeli operations, I fully endorse the Israeli special forces’ efforts to train white South African farmers in self-defensive techniques. And as much as I despise the Russian regime and believe their motives to be less than sincere, I applaud them opening their doors to white refugees. It makes one wonder, however, why the United States and Europe – ostensibly so concerned about refugees from the Africa and the Middle East – aren’t clamoring to help white South Africans. Why aren’t the Western-based churches who chide us to help black and Arab refugees also mentioning the white South African refugees? Clearly, there is a dangerous double standard.

white5

One final word before moving on to the next point. It’s sad that I need to say this, but in some people’s eyes my white skin automatically brands me as a “racist.” No, I’m not a racist. If you want to verify that, simply ask my Panamanian wife. Despite the fact that I married a beautiful brown-skinned Latina (of largely Spanish and French ancestry), I care deeply about the plight of my people. Of earth’s 7.53 billion inhabitants, only around 900 million of us are white. I am, therefore, a racial minority in a global sense and soon to become a racial minority in my own country.

2. Being a man is also seen by society as an inherent defect. Our feminist society is rabidly anti-male. There are at least two major reasons for this anti-male bias. First, the communists comprehended early on that they could never conquer societies that were guarded by strong families. And they knew that the protectors of families, and therefore of society, were the men. In order to take down society, they determined to first take down families. In order to do this, they decided to manipulate women into weakening men. This dovetails into the second reason for the anti-male narrative. From day one, the feminists (i.e. Marxists in heels) have blamed the so-called “patriarchy” for their alleged “oppression.” I would contend that there is no evidence women have ever been oppressed in Western society – certainly never in America. And I would also contend that the past “patriarchy,” if such ever truly existed, actually protected society. It is not coincidental that the more the “patriarchy” is attacked and men are dethroned as heads of their households, as protectors, and as providers, the more society has faltered.

We all saw the absurdly anti-male Gillette commercial earlier this year. They portrayed men as grunting, stupid, uncaring monsters posing a threat to everyone. This is really how the Elite see us. It is how the committed feminists see us. They see our natural masculinity as “toxic” and, therefore, dangerous. They’ve gone to great lengths to feminize and emasculate men. To a large extent, their conditioning has worked. Everywhere you look you see foppish “men” in their skinny jeans. Makeup for “men” (real mean don’t wear makeup) is becoming a huge trend. Schools are teaching children that boys can have periods, too. And in everything from literature to movies to media to school curriculum the ideal “man” is depicted as kowtowing to women, behaving in a groveling and weak manner, and, of course, expressing support for everything vile and perverse from LGBT mania to liberal politics.

Men and boys are clearly discriminated against in female-dominated schools. Once all-male groups like the Boy Scouts have been forced to accept girls. All-male sports are starting to succumb to female interference. Commercials and ads depict us as stupid apes in comparison with the bright, classy woman. There is nothing in traditional masculinity that is accepted and celebrated by our modern, debauched culture. Many men, perceiving this extraordinary bias, have begun tuning out of the conversation, dropping out of university, and abandoning their traditional duties as husbands and fathers. In the final equation, it is feminists and their abettors who are to blame for this trend because they have deliberately targeted and attacked men with the intent of sidelining them and making families and society ripe for the picking.

Sadly, many American men – once the picture of masculinity – have become Europeanized. Those of us who reject the metrosexual ideal foisted upon us in favor of our natural manliness are hated and considered “sexist,” “misogynistic,” and “chauvinist.” We are considered “toxic” and “dangerous.” We are hated for our biology for people who claim we hate them for theirs. The irony is not lost on me, nor is the reality that as a traditional man, I’m in the minority.

men6

3. Heterosexuals are still very much in the numerical majority, but politically and ideologically speaking, proud heterosexuals are outcasts. Said differently, those of us who openly defend heterosexuality and candidly denounce the aberrations of homosexuality and anything-goes LGBT mania, are in the minority. Unless you declare your allegiance to the LGBT community and bend over backwards to help this radicalized group change the definitions of marriage, family, sex, and gender to accommodate their degeneracy and delusions, you’re hated and discriminated against. Because I declare the truth that men are eternally men and women are eternally women and speak out against destructive LGBT movement (which is a verifiable communist front), I am in the minority.

4. As a proud, nationalistic citizen of the United States of America, I’m a pariah in many parts of the world (and, indeed, in certain parts of the USA!) While there are people in every nation who respect and love America, there is at least an equal number – and I dare say a larger number – which hate America. I have a relative who once told me that when he travels abroad, he now tells people he’s from Canada so as to avoid discrimination for being an American. I tasted this rampant vitriol when I lived in Russia. The Bulgarian researcher Ivan Krastev, editor of the book The Anti-American Century, noted in a paper that:

[A]nti-Americanism has worked its way more than ever before into the mainstream of world politics . . . The appeal of anti-Americanism transcends Left-Right divisions, and it works equally well with anxious governments and angry publics. It fits the definition of an all-purpose ideology. What we are seeing is not so much the rise of anti-Americanism in the singular as the rise of anti-Americanisms in the plural. Anti-Americanism assumes different guises in different political contexts. It can be a prodemocratic force in Turkey and an antidemocratic rallying point in Central and Eastern Europe.

Thus any attempt to find a global explanation for current anti-American sentiments is doomed to fail. The popular view that America is hated for being hostile to Islam may have some explanatory power when applied to the Middle East, but it is a nonstarter in the case of the Balkans, where the United States is hated for being proIslamic and pro-Albanian. In Islamic fundamentalist circles, the United States is castigated for being the embodiment of modernity, but Europeans accuse it of not being modern (or postmodern) enough—for practicing capital punishment and for believing too much in God. The United States is blamed both for globalizing the world and for “unilaterally” resisting globalization. . . .

The latest surveys in Western Europe indicate an important change in the profile of the anti-American constituency. The pattern long typical for France has now become common throughout Western Europe. Elites have become more negative toward the United States than the general public, and younger people are more critical than their elders. Elites in search of legitimacy and a new generation looking for a cause are the two most visible faces of the new European anti-Americanism. . . .

The rise of anti-Americanism could become a major obstacle to promoting democracy in the world. In the context of the new suspicion of the United States and its policies, many non-democratic, semi-democratic, or even almost-democratic regimes are tempted to criminalize any internal pressure for democracy, labeling it “American-sponsored destabilization.” The recent events in Georgia provide a classic illustration of this point. At the very moment when Georgian civil society took to the streets in defense of their right to fair elections, former President Shevarnadze was quick to label the popular movement an American-inspired conspiracy. The strategy of authoritarian governments is to try to force democratic movements to dissociate themselves from the United States, thus isolating them and depriving them of international support. For the United States, democracy promotion is a vehicle for winning the hearts and minds of people around the world. But if anti-Americanism can succeed in identifying pressure for democracy with “American imperialism,” this will undermine the prospects for the spread of democracy” (Ivan Krastev, “The Anti-American Century?” January, 2004).

America15

I’m personally confident that the United States is the most hated nation on earth, with Israel coming in second place. Never in world history have there been more nations arrayed against a single power as there are against the United States today. Though we like to think of ourselves as the “only” superpower, the truth is that we’re becoming isolated and cut off. The communists, having long ago taken over most of the rest of the world, initiated a process of encirclement against us. Latin America is their staging point for this effort. Russia and China are militarizing the Arctic, China is consuming Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Russia’s forces are more entrenched than ever in the Middle East, and the socialist cancer is at a critical stage in Europe. To our North and South, and in all points of the compass, our enemies are gathering and our influence is waning. Because America is my homeland and my ideology is proudly American First, I’m in the minority both abroad and in the United States.

5. I am a Constitutionalist. Many people probably don’t even know what a Constitutionalist is and certainly don’t identify as one. I reject the “conservative” and “libertarian” labels. Instead, my ideological allegiance is to the principles of Liberty lodged in the U.S. Constitution. I believe the Constitution was and remains an inspired document given to us by God. It is the greatest political charter ever written and is largely responsible for the unrivaled success of the United States.

In a 2011 article, the Cato Institute cited various studies and polls whose conclusion was that only one in ten Americans “demonstrated acceptable knowledge” of our Constitution. Seventy percent also could not identify the Constitution as “the supreme law of the land.” In 2017, CNN covered a major study demonstrating the “bouillabaisse of ignorance” in the United States. Among the statistics cited were the following: 33% of people could not name even one of the branches of our government; only 26% could name all three branches of the federal government; and 37% could not name even a single right protected by the First Amendment. Pitiful. And, finally, a November 2019 article from the Heritage Foundation talked about Americans’ appalling lack of understanding of our system of government, citing a study claiming that 57% of Americans have not even read the Constitution. The author, indeed, noted: “I took two courses in constitutional law in law school and was never required to read it.”

I add my own witness that throughout my undergraduate studies in history and political science, the Constitution was rarely mentioned – and even more rarely spoken of in a favorable light. In one particularly dreadful course on U.S. foreign policy at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, the Constitution was only mentioned in one class period for about ten minutes by the professor. The rest of the term we studied international law instead. This is the same professor who was fond of saying, “Sovereignty is dead.” Of course it’s dead – we ignore the document that wold protect it!

To reiterate, I am a Constitutionalist. I’m a dyed-in-the-wool American of the Jeffersonian persuasion. I reject modern libertarianism which is little more than libertinism. I reject modern conservatism which is little more than a mixture of Zionism and socialism (the neo-conservative movement was founded by Trotskyites). And, having read the platforms of both the Republican and Democratic Parties, I reject both of them because their principles conflict with those sublime standards enshrined in the Constitution. Because I reject nearly every movement and party in existence and instead cling to the U.S. Constitution, revering it as a literally inspired document, I’m certainly in the minority.

voting10

6. As a natural expression of my Constitutionalist outlook, I am now, and have always been, an independent voter. Around 2002-2003 I discovered and joined the Independent American Party (IAP). I have yet to find a better, more grounded political organization. Over the years, I’ve been involved with the IAP as a member of their Executive Committee, as the Issues Committee Coordinator, as a primary author of their Declaration of Freedom, and as their candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives out of Utah’s 3rd District in 2014. I encourage everyone to investigate the IAP’s “Principles of Liberty” and consider throwing their support behind this great organization. I have also been very fond of the Constitution Party (CP) and have frequently voted for CP candidates such as Chuck Baldwin for president in 2008 and Darrel Castle in 2016. They are worthy of your support as well.

Because I vote third party and independent, I’m frequently accused of supporting the enemy (i.e. the Democrats). The supposition that a third party vote is either wasted or, worse, helps the enemy, is an egregious one. First, third party candidates are almost never in contention, so the idea that my third party vote sways an election in favor or the Democrats is absurd. Second, and most importantly, voting is not about popularity or even winning elections; it’s about doing the right thing. We should never vote for the “lesser of two evils.” It doesn’t matter how horrible the other guy is, you should simply never compromise your principles. Rather, we should always vote for good, godly, stalwart men to fill positions of trust. Also, think of it: What does it matter if my independent vote sways an election to the greater or lesser of two evils so long as my conscience is clear and I did the right thing in the eyes of God? Also, how does it help me in the long run to compromise my principles just to help win an election? I couldn’t live with myself if I did that.

I ultimately vote to show God that I support His principles and laws and that I have the integrity to stand with moral, upright, good, and honest individuals though they be in the minority. It is indeed a tenet of my faith that I will stand before God one day and account to Him for my political actions (Doctrine and Covenants 134:1). I also commend to you the words attributed to John Quincy Adams:

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

Those of us who truly vote, not merely register, independent are drastically outnumbered. Yet, we are the ones with clear consciences. We are the only authentic hope for the Republic because we alone have the integrity to stand on principle regardless of the consequences. We, the independent voters, are the minority in America.

Idaho1

7. I’m an Idahoan. This needs little explanation. However, I included it on the list because being from the Intermountain West is something of an anomaly. I believe the cream of the crop of our citizenry inhabits the mountains and valleys in this blessed part of the country. There is a reason why humble people like Chuck Baldwin are feeling prompted by the Holy Spirit to relocate from the insane coasts and dilapidated cities into the rural communities of the American West. In Chuck Baldwin’s case, his family moved to gorgeous northwestern Montana. I believe the safest and most blessed part of the country is the Intermountain West, roughly including the states of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. The population of these four large states is a mere 6,555,000. And, for the most part, they are hard-working, politically conservative, and fairly religious with a high gun ownership and a penchant for third parties. This is really the best part of this Promised Land of America to live in (and if I didn’t make it clear earlier, yes, I’m a staunch nationalist and advocate a strict America First program). And living here, by default, puts you in the happy minority.

8. As the previous point demonstrates, I’m from rural America. How rural? you may ask. To put it into perspective, I was the valedictorian of my graduating class . . . my graduating class of five students. I spent my high school years in a fishing village of two-hundred people. There were no stores, gas stations, or stoplights; no police, little crime, and no gangs; and clean air, gorgeous wildlife, and unfiltered water (until the federal government later forced them to pollute the naturally pure water with chemicals in the name of “health and safety”). I’ve lived in multiple towns under 500 people and my home the past four years is a small farming community of about 360 Idahoans. It is the rural folk – the farmers, the backwoodsmen, the hunters, the so-called “rednecks,” etc. – who embody what it really means to be an American.

The Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson in particular, believed that city life was not conducive to Liberty. They believed that cities made people foppish, weak, and immoral. Cities encourage vice. They emphasize ease and comfort over hard work and manliness. They promote dependence whereas country living induces independence and self-sufficiency. They are impersonal whereas rural communities are, well, communities.

When you look across time, you see that great peoples grew out of rural environments and that they began to degenerate when they formed large cities and lost touch with the soil. This is true of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and others. It is lamentable that in their drive to collectivize society and implement Agenda 2030, the radicals have persuaded Americans to abandon rural living in favor of concrete jungle life. We need to wake up and learn the truth that Thomas Jefferson shared when he wrote:

The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution” (Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia).

9. Being a “conspiracy theorist” is certainly taboo. Conspiracy is an ageless fact of existence. Our court system prosecutes criminal conspiracies every day and history furnishes us with countless examples of political conspiracy (the assassinations of Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, and Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Gunpowder Treason, and the Bolshevik plot to overthrow the Russian government, to name only five), yet many people don’t want to admit the reality of conspiracy. According to some polls, the majority of Americans believe in conspiracy. I question the veracity of these polls, however, because as a very active conspiracy researcher, I fail to see more than a minority of people willing to talk about and admit conspiracy. I’m routinely shouted down or banned from groups and pages on social media when I mention conspiracy. The word conspiracy almost never enters the mainstream discourse and, when it does, it is dismissed as something only kooks, lunatics, and “anti-Semites” believe in.

conspiracy58

Even within the conspiracy research community I’m in the minority because of my views on such subjects as World War II, the Third Reich, and the “Holocaust.” I’m routinely trying to persuade my fellow conspiracy researchers to look deeper, study harder, and stop repeating mainstream talking points. There are so many errors and misconceptions that have crept into – or been maliciously inserted into – the conspiracy community that it’s difficult to find someone with their head screwed on straight. Rare indeed is the conspiracy buff who doesn’t repeat falsehoods. Even in the conspiracy world, then, I’m in the minority.

10. Lastly, if you are a true, authentic Christian, you’re in the minority. You’re not only in the minority globally, but you’re within the minority of Christians! Long ago an appalling apostasy overtook Christendom. Today, the average self-proclaimed Christian is anything but Christian in conduct and principle. In 2018, the Pew Research Center stated: “One-third of U.S. adults believe in a higher power of some kind, but not in God as described in Bible.” Specifically, only 56% of Americans believe in the God of the Bible. And what of those fifty-six percent? Do they really believe in Christ’s teachings?

Let’s look at several Christian doctrines and see how faithful modern Christians really are to the Lord’s Gospel. First, chastity before marriage. One article reported that “in the General Social Survey (GSS), in 2014 through 2018 combined, only 37% of “fundamentalist adults said that sex outside marriage was “always wrong,” while 41% said it was “not wrong at all.”” It further observed that “by the time they are young adults, roughly two-thirds of Evangelical young people have engaged in sexual intercourse, and about three-quarters have engaged in at least one of three forms of sexual activity. Among those ages 15 to 17, those percentages were about one-quarter and well over 40%, respectively.” Clearly, so-called Christians don’t follow the seventh commandment, one of the most serious of all commandments.

Second, belief in the reality of Satan. In one Barna survey, 40% of Christians denied the existence of Satan. An additional 19% said they “agreed somewhat” with the idea that Satan is not real, but a mere symbol. And 8% didn’t have an answer at all. That’s well over half who denied the reality of the Devil. Can you fight what you don’t believe in? Can you truly believe Jesus Christ is the Savior if you don’t believe in an Adversary and all that his existence implies?

Third, the perfection and divinity of Jesus Christ. In the same Barna survey, 22% of “Christian” respondents said they believed Jesus had sinned and 17% “somewhat” agreed. Another 9% disagreed only “somewhat.” How can a person have faith in the Atonement of an imperfect and sinful being? Additionally, to say Jesus sinned is to deny His own words and the testimonies of His apostles. To believe Jesus sinned is to negate His divinity and perfection and, in a very real since, to deny Him altogether.

Fourth, the same Barna survey showed that many Christians don’t believe in the third member of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. 38% said the Holy Ghost is a symbol, 20% somewhat agreed, and 9% had no idea. Again, well over half of these supposed “Christians” denied one of the greatest verities of the Gospel – the existence of the Holy Ghost and the possibility to have His divine presence with you when you enter into the proper ordinances, have them performed by the proper Priesthood authority, and live righteousness enough to enjoy it.

Fifth, and finally, only 47% of Americans, according to a 2017 Pew article, believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. 26% regard the Bible as “a book of fables, legends, [and] history” as opposed to holy scripture. And only 24% believe that the Bible should be taken literally.

http://www.wga.hu/art/v/valentin/driving.jpg

Yes, there is something massively wrong in Christendom! But we should not be surprised – the Lord’s apostles prophesied of an impending apostasy that would engulf the world. Paul said there would be a “falling away” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-5). Peter foretold of “false prophets” and “false teachers” that would come among the Christians and “bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord” (2 Peter 2:1-3). John revealed that the Dragon (Satan) would make war with the Saints and would drive the Church into the wilderness of apostasy (Revelation 12).

The Great Apostasy of the Christian Church was an event of such far-reaching magnitude that it was foreseen even in ancient times. Isaiah declared that “darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people” (Isaiah 60:2). Amos prophesied that: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it” (Amos 8:11-12). And so forth.

Yes, being a real Christian today puts you in the minority, even among Christians. Even more isolating is the fact that I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. No Christian denomination has been so hated as ours. No other church has had an extermination order issued against it by a state in the Union. The founder of our Church, Joseph Smith, and his brother Hyrum, were illegally arrested and then murdered in Carthage Jail by a Masonic mob as the governor of Illinois sat idly by. And lest we forget, Presidents Buchanan and Lincoln besieged the Church in Utah, putting our people under martial law for no reason other than blind religious bigotry. The bigotry has continued, however, as Baptists, Methodists, Catholic, Evangelicals, Orthodox, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and pretty much everyone, despises the Church and its unique declarations about Restoration and prophets in the land again. Truly, to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints puts me in the minority like nothing else!

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter to me that I’m in the minority or that my allies – ideological, political, religious, ethnic, or otherwise – are few in number. Did not our Lord say of His true path that “few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14)? Did not an ancient prophet, having seen a vision of our day, record that because of the evil of “the church of the devil” there “were few” who belonged to “the church of the Lamb of God” (1 Nephi 14:9-12)? But didn’t this same inspired servant of the Lord also say that though we are few in number, we who enter into the Lord’s covenants will be “armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory” (1 Nephi 14:14)? Though very small in number, we are on the winning side. Of that there is no doubt. The Lord is with us. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

The purpose of this article was simply to demonstrate that far from being “privileged” because I’m a white man, these distinctions make me a pariah in our modern Marxist society. I wanted to drive home the point that being white, men, Christians, conspiracy theorists, country bumpkins, or Constitutionalists is seen as bad by the Elite and by those who have been hoodwinked by them. I wanted to underscore the essential fact that we are in an all-out war for our survival as a civilization and that everything we’ve traditionally stood for is being chipped away and erased. Those of us in the real minority – that is, those of us who love our Faith, Families, and Freedom, who understand the Satanic conspiracy opposing us, and who fight to promote goodness and uphold moral values – are one small step away from being labeled “domestic extremists,” persecuted, denied our rights, rounded up and thrown in camps, or hunted down.

Wait, I spoke too soon. On May 30, 2019, the FBI declared:

The FBI assesses anti-government, identity based, and fringe political conspiracy theories very likely motivate some domestic extremists, wholly or in part, to commit criminal and sometimes violent activity. . . .

One key assumption driving these assessments is that certain conspiracy theory narratives tacitly support or legitimize violent action.”

The FBI further clarified that if you believe there are people trying to create a New World Order, that the United Nations is detrimental, that false flag attacks are a reality, that Zionists have infiltrated our government, or that high level people are involved in child sex trafficking, you are a “fringe” and “anti-government” “conspiracy theorist,” and, therefore, a “domestic extremist.”

America115

You heard that right, fellow conspiracy theorist – the government considers you a “domestic extremist” whose beliefs “support or legitimate violent action.” And if you are an anti-government extremist – essentially a terrorist or guerrilla insurgent – then what’s to stop the government from “defending” itself against you and denying you “privileges” (rights) and throwing you in a reeducation GULAG for the “good of society”? We are in real trouble, ladies and gentlemen. Those of us who are in the real minority – the ideological minority – have arrayed against us the greatest tyranny that has ever tormented mankind – the worldwide communist conspiracy. You need to know that they hate you and that you’re on their radar. You can’t melt into the background or escape the coming torrent of persecution. Your only recourse is to stand tall, be proud that you are white, male, American, independent, Constitutionalist, and, above all, Christian. Speak out. Stand your ground. Never compromise. Don’t go along with the crowd. And rely on the Lord Jesus Christ whom I testify is coming quickly to abolish “the rulers of the darkness of this world” (Ephesians 6:12).

Hate Mob

“We must hate – hatred is the basis of communism.” – Vladimir Lenin

Yours truly has been banned for the eighth time from Facebook. This will be the fourth thirty-day ban in 2019 alone. The impetus this time was a veritable hate mob that swarmed and kept up a running attack on my Feminism is a Disease page for the past day. This article is my two cents about the spirit of hatred exhibited by progressives, liberals, Democrats, Democratic Socialists, feminists, LGBT activists, communists, and the rest of their foul brood who are wreaking havoc on our civilization.

Yesterday, I posted a LifeSiteNews article titled “Sociologist: Evidence shows homosexual parenting harms children.” In it, sociologist Paul Sullins cited data showing that children do not develop normally when raised by homosexual parents. Sullins also spoke of the “war on marriage” and noted: “This attack on the family is based on a demonic gender ideology that denies the order of creation, expressed in the complementarity of men and women.” I recommend everyone read the article.

The hate barrage against my page began when a deranged feminist shared this post in question and made the remark that my entire page was “garbage.” This opened the floodgates. A gaggle of this woman’s rabid friends swarmed my page, posting dozens of revolting remarks, lewd and blasphemous comments and images, and unbridled hate. They also reported a number of my past posts for “hate speech.”

mob5.jpg

This digital hate mob specifically targeted a post I recently made celebrating traditional motherhood. On that occasion, I said:

“Full-time motherhood is the greatest, noblest, most-fulfilling calling and career a woman can have. It is in the home that she can best use her unique gifts and talents. It is in her own family that a woman can best help shape society. Women, the home is your God-ordained palace. Don’t abandon it for selfish pursuits.”

Sharing this will help contextualize some of the hateful venom spewed at me, Christianity, and God Himself. A meager sample of the comments I received – bad grammar and all – from these oh-so-tolerant, oh-so-open-minded, and oh-so-loving leftists follows. Let their caustic words speak for themselves:

“F**k Your God.”

“F**k all y’all.”

“Go f**k yourself.”

“You need LESS Jesus.”

“I’m science and I didn’t say that.”

“Nothing is more hateful than Christian love.”

“feminism SAVES F**KING LIVES.”

“I don’t need a man because at the present time I don’t want one, considering you’re proving them to be childish and bratty if a woman doesn’t bend to his will. The only type of man I would ever consider marrying is the kind that recognizes that I am a person and therefore capable of making decisions and ideas without his help because that is the only man I would be able to respect as a husband. Have you ever had kids? Go through pain of childbirth and then you can talk about our “divine calling to be mothers.” Since girls we are told that having children is painful so EXCUSE me if I don’t want to have children and would rather adopt. We do not live in a world of unicorns, rainbows, and no consequences. We live in the real world and know perfectly well that actions have consequences . . . I think the real tragedy here is your mindset.”

“You guys are hilariously stupid and fighting against strawmen every damn day.”

“wish y’all cared a bit more about the children in cages at the border as you do about adding more humans to the earth.”

“Sexist much?”

“The misogyny is coming from inside the house. Sounds like you think that women are nothing but incubators but okay.”

“Of course this page is run by a man.”

“The people on this page are narrow-minded, uneducated, judgey arseholes.”

“Or you could, I don’t know, let women just choose what they want to do. Some women want this type of life, that’s fine. But not everyone does. And honestly it doesn’t affect you whatsoever what some random women chooses to do with her life.”

“Not all women were made to be married and stay home and make babies. Many of them need to be out in the world doing their own thing, and a life like yours will only make them more and more miserable and depressed as the years go on.”

“Sh*t like this is why women have anxiety. F**k off, like all the way, with your narrow view of a women’s purpose in this world.”

“Shut the f**k up.”

“you just don’t like it because you hate the thought of equality, you don’t want the patriarchal and oppressive system to fall, but it will.”

“femininity is whatever a female feels like doing, this is not the 50s.”

“So is everyone here going to make it so single incomes are enough, support for single mothers is actually a thing or are we just going to sit here and preach some unrealistic ideal that may not even be for everyone? Problems without solutions is just whining…”

“speaking for God is a little presumptuous, dont you think? Judgment isn’t yours, it’s His. I’d love to hear more about your sanctimonious beliefs, but I’m off to work, unless you know of someone who will pay for my son’s extracurriculars at school.”

“Keep your sky daddy to yourself… please and thank you.”

“Religion is a disease.”

“What’s a matter honey… No one wants to have your baby.”

“Satan is the logical and compassionate choice.”

“Sorry that my status as primary breadwinner is a selfish pursuit.”

“It’s so sad to see Europeans actually believing a foreign religion “Christianity” who spreads Its ideologies globally, is the answer to our problems. Good luck with that!”

“Holy f**k I’d literally kill myself if someone said that this is how I need to live my life. Y’all delusional.”

“If you honestly dont think same sex parents can provide love to their child and take care of their needs, you need to face facts that youre a hateful homophobe (and likely have other hateful bigoted views).”

“Another jack**s male trying to tell females that their place is the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. Male fragile ego at it’s most pathetic.”

“I’ll do what the f**k I want.”

“Patriarchy is as stupid as all of you here. We are not slaves of men, how can you believe all that sh*t and say those nonsense things so proudly?”

“Homosexuality isn’t a choice! Why not accept everyone independent of their sexuality?”

“Not everyone should have kids.”

“This reinforced my childfree status.”

“I swore I’d never have children unless I could raise them. So here I am without children but a classroom teacher! But I still stand by that. It takes real courage to put others before yourself and with love, and to watch your husband go out the door every day knowing he has social interactions beyond child talk lol!”

“What a load of bullsh*t.”

“god is fake, so this opinion doesn’t matter. What’s more dangerous is shoving religions down a child’s throat and forcing them to believe a certain way.”

“I don’t want to stay home. That’s a good enough reason. It is a setback for Christians when this garbage is perpetuated.”

“My sphere of influence is whereever I make an influence. Why do you think women’s sphere is any different than your own?”

“imagine thinking your entire existence relies on reproducing. Babies aren’t a universal joy and being a parent isn’t a personality trait. Also, Nobody cares about your book of mythology. And If God exists, she’s weeping.”

“You can dismiss Feminism as “evil”, if you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that the 1950s are long gone – and not coming back.”

“Well this is f**king terrifying.”

“It’s never too late for an abortion.” [accompanied by a picture of a mother drowning her baby]

““The attack on family…” Yet you’re attacking families. The only way they’re infringing on your faith is the fact that your faith isnt strong. The only way they can affect your marriage is if one of you happens to be gay. Get over yourselves you selfish people! Youd rather babies be in overcrowded conditions than loved by a couple because YOU cant quit thinking about them having sex!!!”

“F**k you and f**k your hateful a** religion.”

“imagine thinking your entire existence is for reproducing….what is this sh*t.”

“Yeah pretty sure I don’t need a man to have a happy, successful, fulfilling life. To think that women need men is some pretty big ego tripping on the man’s part.”

“Some drag queens do adult entertainment. Some drag queens work as singers. And, many drag queens work as comedians. They can have both adult only and child friendly routines. A drag queens reading stories to children is just that, a person in heavy make up reading an appropriate children’s story.”

“The medical community recognizes the trans community. Therefore, any doctor (Christian or Muslim) would likely lose their job if they refused to acknowledge a transgender patient.”

“Religious people need to understand that you’re not entitled to have your beliefs enshrined in the law. Your beliefs only matter to you, keep them at home where they belong. Your beliefs do not govern the lives of other people who don’t subscribe to your flavor of mind-f**k indoctrination.”

“Idk I think being raised by two moms made me and my siblings more compassionate than we would be otherwise.”

“Yeah women, f**k your own dreams and goals in life. Just go back home and take care of your little crotch goblins. I’d rather die than have kids and be a stay at home mom.”

“Right now you are only the buzzing of an extremely annoying fly. And I can afford to assume your relationships and thoughts of women are wrong because I am female and therefore how I feel about work and the home is relevant . . . You are not a man. You are a child. Have fun with your fake tan and small hands.”

“What the actual f**k? Is this page real??”

“This sh*t is not even funny.”

“So if God provides all, explain famine and starving children in areas like Africa and Yemen.”

“This is from a biased news site. I wouldn’t trust it. I am an education major and my textbooks will tell you this is bull.”

“May the embryo you save be gay and proud.”

“Do I smell? SEXISM??????????”

“I think women should have the choice to dress modestly or immodestly.”

“More women go to college than men. Why not provide tampons? Most women buy there own, but for the few occasions your period starts unexpectedly, these are VERY helpful! Transmen have uteruses too.”

“LDS is widely known for things like forcing pre-teen and young teenage girls to marry crusty old men. Are y’all sure you want to listen to patriarchal, female-subjugating, demeaning and dehumanizing opinions guised as “religious guidance” concerning gender roles, from someone whose “religion” not only participates in child sex trafficking, but practices it as a core tenant?”

“How funny. A boy discussing women’s bodily autonomy.”

“The earth hates you. Stop.” [said to a woman who happily reported she was expecting her sixth child]

“congratulations for helping the surpopulation of the planet by bringing tons of crotch goblins into the world…” [said to a different woman pregnant with her seventh child]

“You can delete my comments but that still doesn’t make God real.”

“Hail Satan.”

“Mormonism needs to go extinct.”

“Is this satire? If not then get some help from a psychiatrist, or get yourself sectioned.”

“Why don’t you just die mad already.”

There were other comments even more vile and anatomically descriptive that I forebear to share. Isn’t it interesting how hateful and despicable people can be while boasting about how loving and tolerant they are? These people epitomize the cultural Marxists who have perverted and overrun our society.

communism220.png

Over the past twenty-four hours, I have banned over 120 of these rabid Marxist jackals and I’m sure more will follow. They’re coming in droves – like Mongol hordes overrunning the ancient world. They have no morals to speak of and aren’t afraid to say the vilest things you can imagine. They especially hate you if you dare profess Christianity, moral standards, and traditional gender roles. It is more evidence that there are really only two sides – Christ’s and Satan’s. In rejecting the Savior of the world and His Gospel, these cultural Marxists have chosen their side.

In the past, I’ve received death threats and disgusting calls for my wife to leave me, so today’s episode is nothing particularly new (though the sheer scale of the attack broke the previous record). It was, however, a blunt reminder that our society is turning into a full-fledged mobocracy governed by ignorance and hate. Communism is the Red Plague infecting the nations, but feminism is the battering ram being used by the Marxists to knock down the walls of the last bastion of Freedom and sanity – the Christian home.

A quick glance at the vulgar comments above shows that the real object of the feminists’ hate is God. They are engaged in a rebellion against our Heavenly Father, the Redeemer Jesus Christ, and the Gospel. It is the eternal Gospel that establishes the standards of marriage, family dynamics, gender, and sexual relations that I and my fellow traditionalists promote and defend. So while the enemy is shooting the messenger, their real target is Jesus the Christ.

As quoted above, the mass-murdering Bolshevik Vladimir Lenin declared: “We must hate – hatred is the basis of communism” (Introduced into the Congressional Record April 12, 1933 by Senator Arthur R. Robinson, 1539). Satan-inspired hatred is the root of communism and all its branches – especially feminism with its screeching women radicals who tear apart families. Lenin’s comrade Anatoly Lunacharsky headed up education (i.e. indoctrination) in the Soviet Union. He similarly noted:

“We hate Christians and Christianity. Even the best of them must be considered our worst enemies. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the revolution. Down with love of one’s neighbor! What we want is hate. . . . Only then can we conquer the universe” (in W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, 308).

communism56

Judging by these stated goals, it appears the communists have won! Christian love is a thing of the past. The world revolution is in full swing. And Marxist-style hatred has displaced compassion, openness, and love. I’ve been warning people for years about the communist threat working among us. See my exposés on communism, A Century of Red and Red Gadiantons – both of which also contain chapters detailing how feminism is a communist front – for the full scoop. But even without in-depth study, you can judge the feminists by their words, “for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34).

When you look at the vile things spewed on my page in the last day, what do you see? I’ll tell you what I see. I see people who have been deceived by coordinated communist conditioning. They are folks who are bitter and angry. They try to paint themselves as victims of some oppressive “patriarchy” while actually assisting to build a politically correct machinery of oppression and censorship. They hate in the name of love and love that which the Gospel tells us to hate – sin and wickedness. They tolerate perversion while being intolerant of Christ’s teachings and anyone who promotes traditionalism. They’re so self-deceived that they’ll lie and do everything they can to silence good people who want nothing more than to defend Faith, Families, and Freedom. They are nothing but a hate mob.

When Facebook banned me again today, I immediately sent in multiple appeals. As I was finishing this article, I receive word that Facebook accepted one of my appeals and reinstated one of my posts that had falsely been marked “hate speech.” However, they have not yet revoked my 30-ban as justice requires. I’m not particularly hopeful, but we’ll see.

Jesus25

And again, what was my crime? I dared quote science and common sense and Christian teachings. If you do that these days, you’re a pariah. If you stand up for what’s right, you incur the wrath of the hate mob. But even when the torrent of hatred, intolerance, and bullying strikes, it is your duty to push forward no matter the cost. I pledge my life to combating the type of filth you read up above. And I act in total confidence, knowing that our side wins in the end. I know our side wins because I know that Christ has already won the war. Who will join me on His side and stand against the hate mobs of the enemy?

A Tribute to Fathers

In our era of feminist revolt against the God-ordained family order, fathers – and men in general – have taken a harsh beating. Men have been relegated to the shadows as women have stepped forward to assert their so-called dominance. Advertising, mainstream media, Hollywood, public schooling, the courts, ad inifinitum, have stepped forward to belittle and emasculate men, denigrate husbands, dismiss the relevance of fatherhood, and promote a Marxist-style culture devoid of time-tested values and traditional gender roles. This Father’s Day article is a tribute to fathers and to all real men everywhere.

Men, you are sons of Almighty God. You are loved. You are important. You are irreplaceable. You have a weighty burden of leadership to shoulder. Your role is absolutely critical to the proper function and safety of society. You were appointed by God as the leaders and protectors of your home and society. The patriarchal order established in the days of Adam and Eve is still in force today.

tumblr_perybg10Ae1vbg9bx_540

The family is the central building block of society. And the foundation of a good home is the Biblical patriarchal order. It is when society goes away from or twists the patriarchal order, as Marxists everywhere seek to do, that things fall apart. In light of the fact that one of the stated communist goals is to “abolish the family,” the need for real men to step forward and become strong husbands and fathers is self-evident.

In October 1973, Elder A. Theodore Tuttle voiced concern about the “diminishing role of the father.” He explained the importance of fathers and gave sage advice about how men can more faithfully fulfill their duties in the home. His words are even more applicable today. Said he:

“There is genuine concern over the diminishing role of the father in the home. His influence is fading. Presiding responsibilities formerly assumed are left either to the mother or to agencies outside the home. This diminishing role is at the root of a multitude of our problems. Numerous things go awry when the scriptural family organization is upset!

“The father is the patriarch in the home. This means that the father is the presiding authority. This does not mean that he should be dictatorial. . . .

“In reality, each family is a dominion within itself. Father heads that government. In the beginning it was the only government on the earth and was passed down from Adam to his descendants. Properly organized in the Church, the father is the patriarch of an eternal family unit. Heaven, to us, will be simply an extension of an ideal home. As the presiding priesthood officer, the father fills an irreplaceable role. . . .

family8

“The father exercises his spiritual leadership in the home by calling his family to prayer each morning and evening. Weekly family home evening, likewise, is called and presided over by the father, though all others participate.

“The father is the protector of the home. He guards it against the intrusion of evil from without. Formerly he protected his home with weapons and shuttered windows. Today the task is more complex. Barred doors and windows protect only against the intrusion of a corporeal creature. It is not an easy thing to protect one’s family against intrusions of evil into the minds and spirits of family members. These influences can and do flow freely into the home. Satan can subtly beguile the children of men . . . He need not break down the door.

“Fathers, you will have to live close to the Lord. Develop a sensitivity to the impressions of the Spirit.

“There is yet another intrusion into the home that needs to be mentioned. It is an unwise father who carries to his family his daily business cares. They disturb the peace existing there. He should leave his worries at the office and enter his home with the spirit of peace in his heart and with the love of God burning within him. If there is friction, his presence should soothe it. If there is turmoil, he should resolve it. . . .

“Fathers, draw close to your children. Learn to communicate. Learn to listen. This means giving a father’s most valuable commodity—time! Only good results occur when a father interviews his sons and daughters regularly. He can know their problems and their hopes. He can align himself with them as their unconditional friend. To the extent we become friends with our children in unconditional love, to that extent we become like our Heavenly Father. . . .

father1

“And finally, the father is to be an example of the highest Christian virtues. To walk uprightly in the admonition of the Lord requires not only patience and forebearance, but an exercise in constant practice of all the Christian virtues by each family member. Perhaps the Lord knew this when he instituted the family. A man needs the responsibility of a wife and family. He needs the responsibility of being an example of righteousness. There is wisdom in this requirement. This kind of gentle persuasion is needed to keep a father “on course” and gently guide him toward perfection.

“In the family relationship, we find our best laboratory in which to practice celestial living. While this task is fraught with much challenge and some adversity, it is, nevertheless, blessed with that supreme joy that can come only to a father.

“It should have great meaning that of all the titles of respect and honor and admiration that could be given him, that God himself, he who is the highest of all, chose to be addressed simply as “Father.””

Can you sense the magnitude of your calling as a father?! Fatherhood is the greatest calling, role, and adventure a man can experience. Nothing will build a man’s character faster than having a wife and children to teach, discipline, lead, protect, and provide for. Nothing will make a man square his shoulders and lengthen his stride quicker than the serious responsibility of fatherhood. Nothing is more fulfilling and pleasant than having a family. Indeed, the Lord has said that children are a man’s “reward” and that “happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them” (Psalm 127:3-5).

35545483_2277132988968872_4906984669502767104_n

Men are the God-ordained leaders of the home. We do not know all the reasons why the Lord set it up this way, but He did. And this arrangement has worked in every corner of the earth for millennia. All other arrangements breed corruption and failure, as history amply attests.

A man is the head of the home and a woman is the heart. Both heart and head must work in tandem and fulfill their assigned roles if the body is to function. If a heart stops pumping blood, the body dies. If the brain stops sending signals to the vital organs in the body, they cease to work and death results. Men and women complement each other. A woman absolutely cannot fulfill a man’s role or replace his influence, and no right-thinking person believes a man can do what a woman does.

Biologically, anatomically, emotionally, and even intellectually, men and women are different. Men were physically designed by nature’s God to be able to protect and provide for their families. They were also spiritually and emotionally calculated to be leaders who used reason and force of will to make hard decisions affecting entire families. Women cannot replace men in these functions, and men must not abdicate their role.

Modern men must cut through the haze of Red propaganda and remember who they are. They must steel themselves and become the leaders in their homes and in society. They must remember that their personal feelings notwithstanding, the God of Heaven has appointed them to lead. Men must be the spiritual patriarchs of their homes and lead by righteous example. They must discipline with loving firmness in order for their children to grow and for their marriages to strengthen. As Elder LeGrand Curtis once said, “Discipline is organized love.”

23519037_297852897371333_5303465157438100863_n

Fathers should be beacons of strength to their families and to the community. Children should happily run to the door and jump into their father’s arms when he arrives home. Wives should be able to trust, respect, rely on, be proud of, and follow their husband’s lead because they see that he is a man of integrity and that he treats her and his children well. And, ultimately, an earthly father should follow the example of his Heavenly Father and “be an example of the highest Christian virtues.”

It is not insignificant that our God has chosen for Himself the title Father. Mortal fathers should remember in whose footsteps they follow. If men only knew who they really are and what their Heavenly Father expects of them, they would push back against the societal tsunami of anti-male feminism and fulfill their inspired roles. Those men who do just that are true heroes and deserve to be remembered and shown respect on this Father’s Day.

As I close this article, I want to pay tribute to my own father. My Dad is my partner, buddy, and pal, to steal a line from Jerry Lewis. He was my first best friend. In several ways, I am closer to him than any person I know. He has been my confidant and friend and a source of strength for me through the years. He was always there for me and always gave me his time. There’s nothing that is upright and just that he wouldn’t do for me. I know he would give his life for me in a heartbeat. And “greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Fortunately, my Dad does not have to lay down his life in order for me to know he loves me. I thoroughly understand that he loves me because he has said it and shown it my entire life. I pay him a personal tribute and take this opportunity to publicly express my gratitude for all his sacrifices for his family and to tell him I love him dearly. I love you, Dad!

Me and my Dad

The role of father is truly special. It is also vital to the proper function of society. The extent to which society rises or falls depends on the stability of its families. And the steadiness of a family relies, to a very large degree, on the strength of its presiding officer, its patriarch, its head, its father. Words cannot express how important fathers are! Women, cherish, support, and follow your husbands. Children, honor and obey your fathers. And men, be the fathers, husbands, and sons God intended you to be – righteous, loving, stalwart, upright, just, firm, and strong. Enjoy this Father’s Day and know that even though society at large may not respect you, there are many people left who honor you for faithfully fulfilling your decisive role as fathers.

Feminism Destroys Families

Feminism is a disease! It is a spiritual, mental, cultural sickness. The Women’s Liberation movement was founded by Marxists and serves to this day as a communist front. The purpose of the organized women’s movement is to destroy the institution of the home because the home is the ultimate safeguard of society. It accomplishes this by blurring the lines between the genders, turning Biblical traditionalism on its head, breaking down marriages, destroying families, and creating animosity and disunity among the population. Simply, feminism is so dangerous because feminism destroys families.

feminism12

The communist conspirators have founded, co-opted, or used numerous movements as fronts through which they achieve their purposes and promote their insidious ideology. Marxist agitators started the destructive LGBT movement, the radical environmentalist movement, and the so-called “civil rights” movement, to name only three. Feminism, however, has been the most devastatingly effective of all communist fronts. This is so precisely because it strikes at the foundation of society – the family.

The family is the bulwark of society. It is the rock foundation of every civilization. The health of a people’s homes reveals the health of the overall society. As homes go, so goes society. The family is the key building block of humanity – the ultimate institution. Anything that undermines the family unit assaults and degrades society. And feminism is the greatest offender.

feminism2

Inessa Armand, one of the leading Bolshevik women during the early days of the communist reign of terror in Russia, made this noteworthy statement:

“If women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women’s liberation.”

According to one of the arch-feminists, “women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism.” Communism and feminism are inseparable. This is because in order for communism to succeed in its stated goal of world subjugation through world revolution, families must first be transformed and destroyed.

In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx smugly declared:

“Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.”

From the beginning, one of the most controversial and fundamental proposals of the communist conspiracy was the “abolition of the family.” Marx knew, and his ideological descendants understand, that the traditional family established on Biblical principles must be abolished first if communism is to be imposed upon the world.

feminism22

On March 8th, the communist holiday known as International Women’s Day, Ellie Mae O’Hagan wrote a piece for The Guardian titled “Feminism without socialism will never cure our unequal society.” The subheading of her article charges: “Gender inequality is a necessary condition of capitalism, so this International Women’s Day join a trade union.” She followed this radical line of thought and stated:

“If this sounds like socialism, it’s because it is. Only by diminishing the power of the boss class, and giving female workers more access to collectively owned social goods, can we ensure that no woman is forced to choose between sexual and economic exploitation, and poverty. Inessa Armand, the Bolshevik revolutionary who was responsible for allowing Soviet women to divorce, have abortions, participate in politics and access childcare knew that only fundamental change to the economic system could make life better for women. “If women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women’s liberation,” she argued.

“Among the hashtags and vacuous corporate slogans that now flood International Women’s Day, it’s easy to forget that it was first celebrated 110 years ago by the Socialist Party of America to honour the New York garment workers’ strike, which had been held by female workers a year earlier. Eight years after the first International Women’s Day, female revolutionaries in Russia effectively overthrew the tsar with a series of protests and strikes, which also won them the right to vote. It’s not novel to tie socialism and feminism together: they are inextricably linked as movements, and always have been.

“Of course, it’s complacent for any socialist to argue that ending capitalism will simply erase sexism from existence. Gender inequality may be a necessary condition of capitalism, but it is maintained by culture. Sexism persists because it is propped up by a deep-rooted set of beliefs and stereotypes that imagine women as inferior. These won’t be forgotten overnight by changing the economic system; they must be actively taken on and defeated – and that fight must be led by women themselves. But understanding this makes socialism even more necessary: because women can’t fight against sexism as a whole if they’re too busy trying to keep their heads above water in an economic system that exploits them. Just as gender inequality is a necessary condition of capitalism, socialism is a necessary condition for the genuine liberation of the majority of women.”

O’Hagan’s article is a truly astounding piece of ideological rubbish. I quote it only to prove a point; namely, that from day one feminism has been intertwined with and inseparable from communism. Avowed socialists founded and spearheaded the Women’s Liberation movement. Today, “the fight must be led by women themselves.” What fight? The fight to destroy capitalism, destroy the “deep-rooted set of beliefs” (i.e. Christian beliefs) that undergird society, and destroy the home. To feminists, only socialism/communism can save women from their plight. It’s time to take these radicals at their word when they say things like, “socialism is a necessary condition for the genuine liberation of the majority of women.” They’re communists, plain and simple.

Preceding even Marx in the push for worldwide feminism was the Order of Illuminati. If you trace the history of that Bavarian secret society, you are led directly to an England-based group known as the League of the Just. It was this league that in 1848 hired Karl Marx to write a manifesto of belief and that changed its name to the Communist League when that declaration as published as The Communist Manifesto. Years later, under a new name, this same secret cabal was led by Vladimir Lenin and, with Western funding, overthrew Russia in 1917, creating the Soviet Union – the same Soviet Union that was the first state to legalize abortion-on-demand and institute no-fault divorce.

The founder of the Order of Illuminati was Adam Weishaupt. Weishaupt was a keen observer of human nature. He understood that the family unit had to be shattered into pieces if Illuminism (later to be known as socialism and communism), was to conquer the globe. The method Weishaupt and his cohorts devised to destroy the home was to co-opt and deceive women into working for them unawares. He wrote:

“There is no way of influencing men so powerfully as by means of the women. These should therefore be our chief study; we should insinuate ourselves into their good opinion, give them hints of emancipation from the tyranny of public opinion, and of standing up for themselves; it will be an immense relief to their enslaved minds to be freed from any one bond of restraint, and it will fire them the more, and cause them to work for us with zeal, without knowing that they do so; for they will only be indulging their own desire of personal admiration” (Adam Weishaupt, in John Robison, Proofs of a Conspiracy, 111).

In one short paragraph, Weishaupt described the purposes and methods of the feminist movement. History has proven the tragic accuracy of his words. Those women so deceived by these criminal agitators have worked for them “with zeal, without knowing that they do so.” By rising up against Biblical traditions that they have been indoctrinated to believe are “oppressive” and “sexist,” women have assisted the Illumined Marxists in their work of overthrowing society.

tumblr_o8q0s5NnRH1u8iu8mo1_1280

In the United States, women have traditionally been, without any question or shadow of doubt, the most blessed and privileged class of society. From the beginning, women held an honored place in our nation. They have been cherished and held up as role models. No one was more praised, honored, and valued than the American woman. Authors Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly, in fact, wrote:

“[B]uried beneath the surface lies the truth: American women are the most fortunate human beings who have ever lived. No one has it better. No one” (Venker and Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know – and Men Can’t Say, 14).

There was never any real oppression of women in the United States. Making women feel like underprivileged victims was a classic communist ruse used time and time again to great effect with various groups such as blacks and homosexuals. Instilling this false feeling of victimhood in women was the first step in mobilizing them for the world revolution. To reiterate the crucial point, this push began with the occultist founder of the Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt, and escalated under later communist leaders like Marx and Lenin. Feminism is part and parcel of the communist world revolution.

After a constant barrage of Marxist propaganda that painted them as “oppressed victims” of some fictitious “patriarchy,” however, the privileged American woman rebelled against her blessings and privileges. Under socialist leadership, women began demanding “equality” in a system that actually favored them, protected them, and was set up to support them in their inspired roles as wives, homemakers, and mothers. Instead of basking in the light of the American system, the system that made them the most privileged and blessed class of people in human history, Marxist-indoctrinated women served as the front-line soldiers in the cultural war against our Christian country.

In actual fact, the illusion of “equality” and “emancipation” these feminists sought ripped them from the arms of their children and the warmth of their homes and placed them in the rat race of 9-5 work. Instead of using their exceptional talents in the home to nurture the rising generation and, thus, to shape society, they gained an existence of meaningless work as drones in faceless, lifeless office buildings. With this fast-paced life, women gained high rates of depression and stress and began delaying or rejecting marriage and abandoning their God-appointed callings in the home.

The indoctrination has become so profound that women, and society at large, now see children as a burden. Pregnancies are routinely referred to “unwanted.” So “unwanted” are they, in fact, that over 70 million innocent babies have had their lives snuffed out by abortionists in the past 46 years since Roe v. Wade legalized infanticide. It is “inconvenient” for these worldly people to have families that present them from working, having fun, and focusing on themselves.

We live in a selfish world. And feminists epitomize selfishness. Instead of the home, they embrace hedonism. Instead of marriage, they adopt materialism. They shun familial duties and reject God’s commandments to marry (Genesis 2:18,24; Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 11:11; Ephesians 5:31) and to multiply and replenish the earth (Genesis 1:27-28). Marxist-indoctrinated individuals certainly do not share the Lord’s view of children which asserts:

“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

“Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them” (Psalms 127:3-5).

Feminists are content with a self-centered lifestyle. They simply don’t have time for marriage and family. And when they do make the unpopular choice to marry, they are often so inadequate to the task that they cause divorces. Women initiate 80% of divorces in the United States. The rampant curse of no-fault divorces is symptomatic of the Red Plague of communism that has infected our population and corrupted our culture.

tumblr_p8idb45Bgr1wqltgpo1_1280

A former leader of my Church, President Boyd K. Packer, made this comment clear back in 1964:

“There is a trend in the world today—and unfortunately in the Church—for women to want to be emancipated. And we wonder at times—emancipated from what? From domesticity? From motherhood? From happiness? And to what are you in slavery? Your children? It is neither necessary nor desirable for the mother of little children to become a drudge or to be relegated to a position of servitude. It is not, however, uncommon to see women—interestingly enough many in the financially well-to-do category—over-surfeiting themselves with activities outside of the home at the expense of their little children.

“I have never known a mother to regret in the closing years of her life a sacrifice made for her children or to begrudge the cost of guiding them to fine Christian citizenship.

“On the other hand, we find almost universal remorse for neglect of family in the growing years or for overindulging children, which is symptomatic of the most serious type of neglect.

“Mothers, do not abandon your responsibilities!” (President Boyd K. Packer, “Suffer the Little Children,” General Conference, April, 1964).

If we are to fix this massive problem, women must unlearn what they have learned about relationships, marriage, and motherhood. They must cease viewing themselves as “victims.” They must realize how honored and blessed and valued they are. They must embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ which appoints them as wives, mothers, and homemakers – holy and high callings second to none in the economy of God’s Plan of Happiness for His children. They must no longer neglect their families, but return to the home.

Women, the home is where you were designed to shine! The home is your fortress of safety in this dark world. The home is your refuge from the storms of life. It is in the home where you can do the most good for society. The greatest thing you can do for you country and your community is to raise a generation of civil, kind, respectable, honorable, and righteous men and women. You may not receive the praise of the world by embracing your noble calling as a mother, but you will be honored, appreciated, and remembered for generations by your family. Which would you rather have, the hollow praise of the world or the authentic gratitude of your husband and children, your grandchildren and great grandchildren?

Cultural Marxism1

It is my firm belief that if we are to defeat feminism, we must once and for all convince women that they are being used as dupes and pawns by the communists in their push to abolish the family and enslave society. They must realize that they have been manipulated and that the fruit of their actions is the rampant divorce, millions of aborted babies, discontent between the sexes, the blurring of traditional gender roles, and the destruction of the family institution.

Researcher Henry Makow, himself a former feminist, wrote the classic book on feminism titled Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order. In it, he stated:

“Feminism’s roots in Marxist Communism explain a great deal about this curious but pernicious movement. . . .

“It is hard to escape the conclusion that feminism is Communism by another name. Having failed to peddle class war, Communism promoted gender conflict instead. The “diversity” and “multicultural” movements represent feminism’s attempt to forge “allegiances” by empowering gays and “people of colour.” Thus, the original CPUSA trio of “race, gender and class” is very much intact but class conflict was never a big seller. . . .

“. . . Feminist activists are mostly Communist dupes. We see this subversion in the dismantling of the liberal arts curriculum and tradition of free speech and inquiry at our universities. We see it when feminists push the elite “global warming” hysteria. In government, business, the media and the military. This could only happen because the financial elite in fact sponsors Communism” (Henry Makow, Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order, 36-37).

feminism7

Feminism is a top-down fraud foisted upon society via deceived women and their Bolshevik puppet masters. It is designed to disenfranchise women of their birthright as daughters of God and as co-creators with Him. It is also designed to sideline men – the traditional defenders of society. Ultimately, feminism was created not to make women “equal” to men or to win “rights” for women, but to break down society by shattering families, thus creating a weak society susceptible of overthrow.

Red Feminism must be thrown onto the ash heap of history if we are to move forward and progress as a civilization. Feminism has stunted our growth, robbed us of generations of Americans through the scourge of abortion, created deep fissures between men and women, promoted promiscuity and hedonism in place of spirituality and moral living, and, most damning, undermined the home so completely that we are at crisis levels. The key to combating this feminist enemy is to first identify it as a communist front movement.

Feminism is a Marxist movement. It is spiritual blindness whose chief principles and practices are at odds with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the plain revelations in the scriptures. If we want to save our Republic, we must save our families. If we desire to save our homes, we must extinguish the feminist conflagration burning them to the ground. If we seek to do that and preserve our People, we must know that feminism is communism and that communism is working behind the scenes to subjugate humanity under their iron rule. It’s time to wake up, America.

Facebook Censorship Continues

Some people deny that Facebook censors people they disagree with on politics and other ideological issues. These deniers are either willful liars or are completely ignorant of reality. I don’t need anyone else to tell me Facebook censors people – I have my own firsthand experience being censored on numerous occasions. This article is nothing more nor less than me adding my voice to the growing chorus of people who have had their content censored and voices silenced by Facebook.

Facebook5

The very first thing I want to stress is the fact that Facebook is not a private company. Everyone calls Facebook a private company, but that is simply not true. Facebook receives hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies from the federal government (and guess where the federal government gets it?) As a publicly-subsidized company, Facebook cannot ethically be considered private. As a public company, therefore, Facebook must follow the laws protecting free speech. If they were a private company, I would not complain much because private companies and individuals have a right to discriminate, or to associate, with whomever they please.

The second thing I want to point out is that what Facebook does can only be considered censorship because it only applies to certain groups, pages, individuals, and ideologies. Facebook does not censor members of the LGBT community. They do not censor feminists. They don’t censor leftists and communists. They don’t even censor people making death threats against the president. No, these anti-American groups and ideologies are protected classes.

Facebook3

The people, groups, and ideologies that Facebook deliberately targets and censors are those which can be called traditionalists, constitutionalists, conservatives, American patriots, and Christians, as well as those erroneously deemed “conspiracy theorists.” Anyone who opposes the bloated Establishment in Washington is an immediate target. Anyone who speaks out against the deadly virus of cultural Marxism is automatically singled out. Anyone who denounced the feminist disease and the LGBT subversion of our society is ridiculed, intimidated, and targeted.

Additionally, those who stand up in support of traditional values such as the patriarchal family unit, heterosexual marriage, the notion of only two genders, rule of law, individualism versus collectivism, constitutionalism, private virtue, public decency, manners, and Christianity, have a huge target painted on their backs. We are hated by the communist Establishment. The single most hated person on planet earth is the white, constitutionalist, Christian male from the United States. We are a dying breed. Our voice is being silenced and censored at every turn.

We often hear feminists and minorities – especially women – telling each other, “We need to make our voice heard!” Yet, their voice is the only one I hear. It’s the only one endorsed and protected by the mainstream press, Hollywood, and social media. The voice I don’t hear represented in the press is my voice – the voice of reason, truth, traditionalism, constitutionalism, Americanism, and Christianity. We are the true minority in this nation.

Facebook17

 

To get their way, the powers-that-be have come up with the ludicrous concept of hate speech and hate crimes. These, by definition, are not actual crimes. A motive cannot be a category of crime. If you murder someone because you hate them or because you wanted to steal their property or because they offended you, what does it matter? You still did the deed. Yet, the Marxists have come up with this new category of “hate crimes” and then use it to bludgeon traditionalists and constitutionalists into submission. Today, it is not only feasible, but is a reality, that conservatives or Christians can have their businesses shut down, be forced to pay fines, or be hauled off to jail for allegedly “hating” certain protected classes of people – such as homosexuals and transgenders. This is the level of delusion that exists in America today (and, unfortunately, it’s worse in many other places in the world such a socialist Europe).

Another weapon of the communist cultural revolution is political correctness. As I pointed out in my article on the subject, political correctness is a communist invention. What political correctness meant in communist lingo is the party line. That is, what the Communist Party says is politically correct and anything that differs from their line is anathema. Anyone who disagrees with the communists is automatically labelled an enemy of the revolution, a class enemy, or an enemy of the People. No further proof is needed that the United States has been captured by the Marxists and their dupes than to see communist-style political correctness run rampant in our culture and press.

Facebook is one of the chief exemplars of this Marxist-style censorship machine. Run by the Jewish elitist Mark Zuckerberg, who openly thinks its users are “dumb f**ks,” Facebook promotes cultural Marxism and the political and moral destruction of America. Facebook has admitted that its algorithms are biased against traditional/conservative pages and accounts. But beyond that, Facebook seeks every excuse to block people like me who speak out against the Establishment and who promote traditional values.

speech6

I will give you several examples of the censorship I have personally faced. I run seven different Facebook pages and a group. I used to operate one additional page, but it was taken down and deleted by Facebook for alleged “hate speech.” This page was titled World War II – Facts and Lies. I discussed, among other things, the true origin of that horrific war, the war crimes of the Allies, the false atrocity allegations against the Axis, Soviet machinations, the beliefs of Adolf Hitler, etc. The page only existed for a short time, but I was in the middle of a growth spurt and people from all over the world were liking and joining the page. Suddenly, someone reported my page. Facebook removed one of my post for supposedly violating their “community standards.” Of course, they never bothered to say which of their “standards” my post violated. Then, suddenly, a second post was removed for “hate speech.” Again, Facebook never deigned to tell me how my post allegedly constituted “hate speech.” That was just an easy excuse to remove someone who was saying things the Establishment doesn’t want to peasants to know. Finally, that page was deep-sixed by Facebook and no longer exists.

Unfortunately, that is not the only censorship and persecution I’ve faced. By far the most hatred, threats, false accusations, bullying, and intimidation I’ve received is from rabid feminists and delusional LGBT people – or LGBTQIAPK as they are now known. You know, those people who always tell us to be tolerant and pride themselves on being oh so “tolerant,” “egalitarian,” and “sophisticated.” They are so obsessed with their sexuality and their “empowerment” that they belittle and attack others and seek to silence anyone who disagrees with them.

feminism12

The feminists in particular shriek and go into psychotic fits when someone tells them what God’s plan for women is. They can’t stand it. Perhaps that is because part of them, deep down, knows it is true and they are really trying to silence their conscience. Finding that impossible to do, they lash out at those of us who point out the reality which awakens in them a sense of guilt and shame. Living in disharmony with God is not conducive to happiness and fulfillment, yet that’s what the feminists do – then they get angry at men, traditional women, and non-feminists instead of improving themselves and reforming their own terrible habits and false beliefs.

One thing that the delusional feminists, LGBTQIAPK groupies, and transgenders can’t comprehend is human nature. Their philosophies are inherently anti-human-nature and at odds with reality and every degree of sanity, intelligence, and common sense. Every five-year-old can look down between his or her legs and see whether he or she is male. They inherently know they are male or female and that there are differences between the two genders – and this has been conclusively proven by studies and research throughout the years. It is very revealing that the enemy has to exert so much effort to indoctrinate kids with gender propaganda in order to confuse them and get them to question what their eternal gender is. Without this socialization and indoctrination, no one would question what they inherently know to be true.

All of this ties into Facebook censorship because it shows the motivation for their rabid and relentless attempt to silence all opposition. They simply cannot promote their delusional worldview – their mental and spiritual sickness – without silencing the voice of sanity and reason that is teaching people the truth. The truth must be silence in order for lies to prevail. Thus, people like me, Alex Jones of Infowars, and others who oppose this Marxist cultural revolution must be silenced.

speech1

For the record, I don’t support Trump. Yet, this cartoon demonstrates the sheer hypocrisy of people in the controlled press.

My Facebook page Feminism is a Disease has 1,253 likes as of this writing. I have experienced a 400-like jump in the past several weeks. My page is finally taking off and growing. Yet, the major hurdle is Facebook censorship. From day one, I’ve had false accusations leveled against me by feminists, transgenders, and LGBT fanatics. For instance, I’ve had a number of posts removed for allegedly violating “community standards” or arbitrary “hate speech” policies. In fact, months back I had my page unpublished. Fortunately, there was an appeal process and, after a number of days, I got my page reinstated. After that incident, I had a feminist openly admit that she (she said “we”) wouldn’t stop until my page was taken down. This is how psychotic and evil these people are. They are mini-tyrants and would-be-despots. And Facebook gives them the power to silence their fellow man.

The attacks have again begun in full force. As I write this, I am currently on a three-day time out (three separate times in the past I’ve been put in Facebook time out for one day, three days, and seven days). Why? After two of my posts we taken down last night, one for violating “community standards” and the other for “hate speech” violations, Facebook has blocked me from posting, commenting, liking, or otherwise using Facebook – and not just on my Feminism is a Disease page, but across all seven of my pages, my closed group, and my personal page. I can’t send messages, I can’t comment, I can’t post, I can’t do anything. Why? For no other reason than the fact that I said something the elitist radicals as Facebook don’t like – and also because a feminist or homosexual was offended at one of my posts and flagged it.

I won’t be surprised in the slightest if Facebook unpublishes my page again or if they outright delete it. That is their M.O. They silence their opposition because they can’t compete in the ideological arena when the opposition is given a free chance to explain their views. Tyrants throughout history have used the same tactic – and the tyrants of old only wish they had a system of censorship and social manipulation as effective as Facebook.

Facebook8

The post that was removed after being flagged last night gets to the heart of the entire matter. In fact, it was eerily prophetic. The action taken against me by Facebook proves and fulfills the prophecy. The quote comes from Henry Makow who wrote the best book on feminism titled Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order. On page 78, Makow wrote:

“Illuminati-Marxism spawned both the Gay and Woman’s liberation movements by transferring Marxist class conflict to gender. The “patriarchy” (male-dominated heterosexual family) is the root of all evil and must be destroyed (“transformed”). Women (the proletariat) and anyone “oppressed” (gays, certain favored minorities) must be handed position and power on a silver platter.”

speech2

That is precisely accurate! And it is true in my case – I am being discriminated against and censored because I have dared say anything against the privileged, favored, protected LGBT/feminist class and their Marxist overlords. Additionally, I think it is worth quoting the commentary I added to Mr. Makow’s quotation. This is what I wrote, including Makow’s full quote:

“As crazy as it sounds to those who haven’t taken the time to study real history, this is in fact true. Feminism, as I’ve said since day one, was and is a communist front movement (the Communist League, which later became the Bolshevik party which overthrew Russia, was an Illuminati creation). So, too, was the militant homosexual/transgender movement. The elites know that these perversions of nature and God’s law tend to corrupt families and break down society. That’s why they create and fund these movements – to foment division and chaos, out of which they intend to rebuild a Luciferian world order. Now you know, the rest of the story. . .

““Gay and feminist activists find common ground because they insist male-female distinctions are artificial, ignoring all scientific evidence. While many heterosexuals might consider themselves “feminists,” feminism is a homosexual movement. It believes that men and women are the same and only social conditioning makes us different. Homosexuality is love of the same. Today, gay and feminist activists want “people” to make love to “people” regardless of their sex. They depict normal heterosexual behaviour as pathological. Men are inherently abusive and the heterosexual family is oppressive. The way to social justice is to abolish heterosexuality altogether (isn’t this “hate”?) Illuminati-Marxism spawned both the Gay and Woman’s liberation movements by transferring Marxist class conflict to gender. The “patriarchy” (male-dominated heterosexual family) is the root of all evil and must be destroyed (“transformed”). Women (the proletariat) and anyone “oppressed” (gays, certain favored minorities) must be handed position and power on a silver platter. The Illuminati’s revolutionary goal is the “New World Order” or authoritarian socialism run by monopoly capital. It is big government in the service of big business, the Left in the service of the Right.” – Henry Makow, “Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order, 78-79.”

Facebook1

That ends my commentary and the full quote from Mr. Makow. As you can see, it was prophetic. It is a precise description of what has gone on for so long in America and throughout the Bolshevized world. And is there one word of hate in it? Of course not, unless calling a spade a spade is “hate.” In fact, this reminds me of a few comments made by the honorable President Ezra Taft Benson, a patriot in his day without equal.

Though each of these statements comes from different speeches given at various times, I take them from the 1964 book Title of Liberty: A Warning Voice compiled by Mark A. Benson for convenience.

“I have great faith in the American people. When fully informed, they will make wise decisions. They will stand up and be counted for what is right. This I know.

“I recognize that it is not popular in some circles to be called an anti-communist, but I consider communism a political and economic disease. I do not believe an American citizen can be patriotic and loyal to his own country and its God-inspired Constitution of freedom without being anti-communist–anti-socialist. . . .

“We must expose to the light of public inquiry those forces which would destroy our country and our way of life” (15-16).

“Our mortal enemies are the Satanic communists and those who prepare the path for them” (84).

“Yes, we have been lulled away into a false security. We are busy making money, enjoying our abundance but oblivious to the gradual loss of freedom which has made all of these blessings possible. As a nation we are affluent but foolish.

“This nation needs a revival of patriotism, a return to basic concepts, an awakening to the most deadly peril ever to threaten our people. I say to you with all my heart that the danger is real and can be deadly. We must become alerted and informed. . . .

“Grassroots thinking in America cries for strong, courageous leadership. Some American people are at long last becoming aroused in their hearts . . . They want to know the truth without bluffing.

“The American people are entitled to the facts. They will actively follow sound, courageous leadership. Our people know in their hearts that the opposite of victory is defeat, whether you call it “coexistence” or “compromise” with a godless tyranny.

“We are at war, and we must win the war. It’s time to go on the offensive. Let’s stop helping the enemy . . . Let’s make sure we’re right and then mobilize sufficient strength to win. For a change let’s try victory!” (51-51).

Founding Fathers10

Will you stand up for what is right and vocally, actively, tenaciously oppose this Satanic tyranny that is sweeping across our nation and devouring our rights? Or are you so worried about your money, ease, and reputation to stand up and be counted? Are you worried what your friends might think or do you honestly care enough about your faith, family, and Freedom to defend them?

This is a war. Wars are not easy. They are not won over night. They are not won without sacrifice and loss, discomfort and pain, sweat and tears. Yet, the prize is worth the price. It really is worth it.

I’m doing about all I can do. I have published two books on the communist conspiracy, which include extensive discussion about front groups like feminism, the LGBT movement, environmentalism, etc., and I have just completed a third book that I pray will strengthen people’s testimony of the fact that they are literal children of God with a grand potential. To date, I have written more than 80 articles. I recently launched my Liberty Wolf podcast and I am preparing to release episode #10. I run, as noted, seven Facebook pages, and a group, devoted to truth on a host of subjects ranging from feminism to communism to occultism to the Founding Fathers to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Finally, in 2014, I ran for the U.S. House of Representatives out of Utah under the Independent American Party banner.

In nearly all of these endeavors, I have faced opposition and censorship. From having my Facebook pages censored, harassed, and deleted, to being told by the Republican government in Utah that I and all of my fellow independents were banned from the campaign debates, to receiving literal threats from feminists, to having “friends” stab me in the back repeatedly over these issues and disown me because I’m bold enough to speak the unpopular truth, I’ve had my fair share of hardship.

Yet, I push forward harder than ever before. And I do it for one major reason – I know it is right. If I know what the truth is, how can I be silent or complacent? Complacency is complicity. Silence is collusion. Ignorance is no excuse.

My conscience would not allow me to sit on the sidelines and watch life pass me by. These issues are too monumental – too much is at stake. We are in a war for our very lives and for everything that makes life worth living: Faith, Family, Freedom. With this in mind, we must stand and fight or consign our Republic to bondage and our families to misery and oppression. As President Reagan truthfully declared: “If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.”

patriots3

Truly, America is the final battleground. The communists and their allies have conquered the entire globe. They have made tremendous inroads here in the United States. Our culture is being shaped in their image. Our political system, though ostensibly constitutionalist, now runs on Marxist policies and all ten planks of The Communist Manifesto have been instituted. Faith in the Savior Jesus Christ is dwindling while at the same time occultism is rising. Wicca, for example, is the fastest-growing religion in America and Britain. The entire tide is turning against us, against the truth, and against sanity. Yet, we are on the side of truth. Truth will prevail in the end. Our job is to hold on to truth until it crushes all enemies under its feet.

I encourage you to fight against censorship in all its manifestations. The best thing you can do is to educate people. Unless we have a critical mass of people who are as informed as we are and who believe the same basic values, our efforts will come to nothing. We cannot win this fight unless the American People are educated in facts and truth. A certain segment of society is, frankly, lost. Yet, millions of others are on the fence just waiting for leaders to stand up and lead.

I’m doing what I can to be a beacon of light to others, but because I am only one of a small handful, it makes me a target. If millions of us stood up, we would be too powerful to oppose. They could not, in that case, single us out and pick us off one-by-one. As it is, however, that is precisely what they are doing. I am on the verge of losing a hard-earned followership of 1,300 people simply because one offended radical complained and Facebook has kow-towed to their whims. This is the power of an individual. Image if individuals used that power for good rather than evil. Image if millions of individuals pooled their resources and strength and shouted as one in defense of traditionalism, the Constitution, sanity, religion, and truth. We would be unstoppable. Until we learn to stand up, however, we will continue to fail because we will continue to fall separately.

To hear a presentation on free speech, click the link to listen to my Liberty Wolf episode on the subject:

 

Feminism is Not Fascist – It is Communist

One of the most common errors I see swirling around the internet is the idea that the feminist movement, and its spawn the LGBT movement, is a “fascist” or “Nazi” movement. I often see feminists referred to as “feminazis” and those afflicted by homosexuality labeled “homo-fascists.” These distinctions are utterly erroneous and this article explains the reason why.

feminism2

It is an incredibly well-documented fact that the Women’s Liberation movement – the mother of all other social justice perversions – was founded by the communists. One of the longest chapters in my book A Century of Red is devoted to exposing this connection. The communists saw the traditional family – particularly the patriarchal Christian home – as their main obstacle to world conquest. The feminist movement is their chief weapon to destroy this obstacle and usher in a “new morality.”

Early on, the communists fabricated the concept of a “patriarchy” that “oppressed” women. They spread this propaganda to make women feel like underprivileged victims. Once women felt like victims of some fictitious male conspiracy, the communists then offered them so-called “liberation” and “equal rights.” These women, having developed a woe-is-me victim mentality, were naturally galvanized to work for worldwide communist revolution without knowing they did so. With women in their camp, the communist conspirators systematically destroyed the institution of the home from within. And a wrecked and decaying civilization is the direct result.

feminism7

The radical Bolshevik feminist, and mistress of Vladimir Lenin, Inessa Armand, explained how integral feminism is to the communist conspiracy. She declared:

“If women’s liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women’s liberation.”

Researcher Henry Makow, whose book Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order ranks as one of the best on the subject, made a similar observation. He wrote:

“It is hard to escape the conclusion that feminism is Communism by another name” (Makow, Cruel Hoax, 37).

feminism22

In accordance with their anti-family communist ideology, the Soviet Union was the first modern state to legalize abortion. The USSR was also the first nation to institute no-fault divorce. Even church marriages were outlawed. To fill the void, some people had “Red weddings” instead. The communist regime implemented a radical “family code” throughout the Soviet Empire which embodied many of these feminist talking points just mentioned. Paul Kengor’s book Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and Marriage is a fantastic exposé on the subject.

It is a sad indictment that the United States has followed the Soviet prototype and has instituted no-fault divorce, legalized abortion, altered the traditional definition of marriage, and is in the process of restructuring the family along secular lines. Misleading slogans coined by communists are now ingrained in the American psyche. Chief among them is the war cry of “equality” which ignores the fact that equality is a myth. In the eyes of God we are all equal and under just laws people are equal, but in every other conceivable way equality is a lie used to tug on people’s heartstrings and rally them to fight for “social justice” and a decidedly Marxist restructuring of society.

feminism4

Under the guise of “equal rights,” women have barged into the workplace to compete with men, leaving behind their homes, young children, and the divine calling of motherhood. Feminists have used the concept of “equality” to justify their lewd and promiscuous behavior, claiming that “if men can do it, we can do it, too.” Immorality is wrong when anyone does it, but it is more strongly felt throughout society when women abandon their virtuous nature and seek to become what amounts to inferior men. Women have ruined themselves in grasping for “equality.” One of my favorite quotes on this subject, whose authorship I am not certain, says:

“Men stopped being gentlemen when women stopped being ladies and started demanding equality in a society that treated them like queens.”

feminism1

Women of past generations were cherished for their work in the home as mothers, wives, and homemakers. They were beloved. No other member of society received as much praise and support. Yet, the feminist propagandists – most of whom were card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA – went out of their way to besmirch these women and portray them as uneducated dolts who were enslaved by the “patriarchy.” These lies were used to scare younger women into avoiding the time-tested, scripturally-approved path of marriage, motherhood, and homemaking.

Instead of being enslaved to the fictitious male cabal known as the “patriarchy,” women are now enslaved tools of the communist cause. Instead of being queens in their homes, they are drones in the workplace. Instead of being the noble, virtuous women their progenitors were, they are lewd, loud, and lust-filled. Feminism has corrupted the very essence of femininity and has severely disadvantaged American women who were once the most blessed and privileged class of people to have ever walked the planet.

feminism5

Feminists and their Social Justice Warrior cohorts are the vanguard of this worldwide revolution to destroy Christian culture and the sound foundation of society. Women and feminized men are the hammer with which the Bolsheviks have bludgeoned to death Biblical marriage, patriarchal families, healthy home life, and traditional gender roles. Everything sacred has been trampled on by these bitter, hoodwinked feminists who don’t have the mental acumen to know they are tools in communist hands.

But what of fascism? Surely the hated “Nazis” must have also tried to destroy the family and promote radical cultural ideas, right? In fact, no, they did not. Fascism and feminism have nothing in common. Fascism, particularly as practiced by Hitler’s Germany, was an enemy to everything feminism stood for.

Germany in the 1930s and 40s was the most vociferously anti-communist state I have ever studied. Adolf Hitler’s National Socialists were elected not because of their stance on Jews, as most historians have absurdly alleged, but because of their official anti-communist stance. Hitler gave his famous 1933 Sportpalast acceptance speech, after having secured the post of chancellor, in front of a massive banner that read: “Marxism must die for the nation to survive.”

In Mein Kampf, Hitler spoke of communism in these terms:

“[T]he original founders of this plague of the nations must have been veritable devils; for only in the brain of a monster – not that of a man – could the plan of an organization assume form and meaning, whose activity must ultimately result in the collapse of human civilization and the consequent devastation of the world” (Hitler, Mein Kampf, 63-64).

Hitler virulently opposed the culture-corrupting, nation-destroying Red Plague of communism. He considered it his greatest enemy, and the greatest enemy of humanity. In this he was 100% correct. In May 1933, after having ascended to the chancellorship, Hitler again wrote of Germany’s struggle against communism:

“This for us is not a fight which can be finished by compromise. We see Marxism as the enemy of our people which we will root out and destroy without mercy. . . .

“We must then fight to the very end those tendencies which have eaten into the soul of the German nation in the last seventeen years, which have done us such incalculable damage and which, if they had not been vanquished, would have destroyed Germany. Bismark told us that liberalism was the pace-maker of Social Democracy. I need not say here that Social Democracy is the pace-maker of Communism. And Communism is the forerunner of death, of national destruction, and extinction. We have joined battle with it and will fight it to the death” (Adolf Hitler, Volkischer Boebachter, May 11, 1933, in Benton L. Bradberry, The Myth of German Villany, 166).

From a 1933 anti-communist German book.

Hitler and his “fascists” understood the inherent evil of communism. They saw with their own eyes the damage it had done to Germany and to Europe. They understood that modern “liberal” society was a forerunner of communism, as is so-called “democracy” and “social democracy.” The values promoted by these counterfeit systems of governance are communist in origin and are inimical to Christianity and moral institutions.

Instead of following the Marxian socialists, Hitler promoted a different form of “socialism” that bears almost no resemblance to that of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. The record is clear: Hitler promoted the traditional family, womanhood, motherhood, and home life.

In 1939, the British Viscount Rothermere wrote of Hitler:

“He believes that Germany has a divine calling and that the German people are destined to save Europe from the revolutionary attacks of Communism. He values family life very highly, whereas Communism is its worst enemy. He has thoroughly cleansed the moral, ethical life of Germany, forbidden publication of obscene books, and performance of questionable plays and films” (Rothermere, in Benton L. Bradberry, The Myth of German Villainy, 161-162).

Germany5

1931 Hitler campaign poster calling upon women to save Germany: “Women! Your men without work, your children without a future. Save the German family. Vote Adolf Hitler!”

Hitler recognized that the Women’s Liberation movement was part of the communist attempt to decimate and restructure the nations of the world. He therefore opposed feminism outright. Instead, he promoted the traditional family, the calling of motherhood, and the value of homemaking. He once said:

“If I have a female lawyer in front of me these days, and it doesn’t matter how much she has achieved, and next to her is a mother of five, six, seven children, and they are in great health and well-educated by her; then I want to say, from the eternal point of view of the eternal value of our people, the woman who is able to have children – has children and raised them and thereby gave our people the ability to live in the future – has achieve more. She has done more.”

What person with any modicum of intelligence and sense can dispute the truth of that statement? Motherhood is the highest calling in eternity. Women do far more for society in the home than they ever could in the workplace. They will be remembered, respected, and cherished far more for their selfless acts in the home than they ever will be for any worldly achievement. Women, don’t abandon your homes; society needs you there now more than ever before. The future rests on your delicate shoulders.

In 1933, the year Hitler rose to the chancellorship, the National Socialist government officially instituted Mother’s Day as a state holiday. In fact, Germany was one of the first states to celebrate Mother’s Day. From an article on the topic, we read:

“From 1939 to 1945, Mother’s Day gained a remarkable position, where a tradition of giving The Cross of Honor of the German Mother was established. It was a state decoration conferred by the government of the German Reich in three classes: bronze, silver, and gold, to mothers who exhibited strong moral principles, exemplary motherhood, and who conceived and raised at least four or more children in the role of a parent. But this “golden era” of Mother’s Day did not last too long as by the end of the World War II Mother’s Day misplaced its Nazi elements, replaced by the more neutral elements of celebration by offering gifts, flowers and cards to mothers.”

Unlike communism/feminism which despises motherhood and the domestic life, fascism promoted it, glorified families, and honored mothers. Truthfully, feminism is anti-woman whereas fascist regimes always placed a high value on womanhood and the natural femininity of the fairer sex.

On January 30, 1937, Hitler gave a speech commemorating four years of prosperous, successful National Socialist rule in Germany. He ended his speech with a tribute to German women. He said:

“And we, too, Men and Deputies of the Reichstag, wish to join together to thank above all the German women, the millions of our mothers who have given the Third Reich their children. For what would be the sense in all our work, what would be the sense in the uprising of the German nation without our German youth? Every mother who has given our Volk a child in these four years has contributed, by her pain and her happiness, to the happiness of the entire nation.”

Hitler121

Additionally, the Programme of the NSDAP – the official National Socialist party platform – demanded that: “The State must see to raising the standard of health in the nation by protecting mothers and infants.” One of the things the National Socialists did to protect women, apart from restricting abortions, was to ban birth control, a move I personally would love to see in the United States.

Feminism not only doesn’t protect mothers or infants, but it zealously promotes infanticide as a mother’s “right.” As noted, the Soviet Union was the first modern state to legalize child murder, also known as abortion. National Socialist Germany, on the other hand, restricted abortions for most of the population. Children were seen as the future of the German nation and the government went to great lengths to protect them. Women were also expected to engage in exercise to maintain their health, while simultaneously – thankfully – being excluded from the German military.

Hitler13

There is one additional bit of confusion I want to clear up. Far too many people think that National Socialism is the same as communism. This is not true. National Socialism was never Marxian socialism. The two philosophies, though they share a common name, are fundamentally and emphatically different.

For instance, in Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, the communists swear to abolish private property. The Manifesto explains:

“In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.

“We Communists have been reproached with the desire of abolishing the right of personally acquiring property as the fruit of a man’s own labour, which property is alleged to be the groundwork of all personal freedom, activity and independence.”

communism21

Truthfully, private property is the foundation of all Liberty and in seeking to abolish property, communists seek to abolish Freedom and make men slaves. The National Socialists, on the other hand, protected private property. In The Programme of the NSDAP, we read:

“National Socialism recognises private ownership of property as a principle and protects it by law, given that it is acquired and employed honourably.”

Within the NSDAP Programme, Hitler is also quoted as saying that “the N.S.D.A.P. admits the principle of private property.”

There are numerous other fundamental differences between communism and National Socialism. It is dishonest to allege that Hitler’s philosophy and Marx’s ideology are one and the same in terms of core principles. Truthfully, their core principles are worlds apart. In an alleged 1923 interview with Hitler, George Sylvester Viereck recorded the following conversation:

““Why,” I asked Hitler, “do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party programme is the very antithesis of that commonly accredited to socialism?”

““Socialism,” he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, pugnaciously, “is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.

““. . . Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic.

“. . . “We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national.””

communism20

And again, in a December 28, 1938 article in the Guardian, Sunday Express published in England, Hitler explained:

“‘Socialist’ I define from the word ‘social’ meaning in the main ‘social equity’. A Socialist is one who serves the common good without giving up his individuality or personality or the product of his personal efficiency. Our adopted term ‘Socialist’ has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true socialism is not. Marxism places no value on the individual, or individual effort, or efficiency; true Socialism values the individual and encourages him in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must be in consonance with those of the community. All great inventions, discoveries, achievements were first the product of an individual brain. It is charged against me that I am against property, that I am an atheist. Both charges are false” (Benton L. Bradberry, The Myth of German Villainy, 165).

To close this point, as if any evidence is still required, I quote from Richard Tedor’s book Hitler’s Revolution:

“There is considerable difference in the socialism of Hitler and that of Marxist doctrine . . . Marx’s purely economic socialism “stands against private property . . . and private ownership.” Marx saw socialism as international, unifying the world’s working class people who were social pariahs in their own country. He therefore considered nationalism, advocating the interests and independence of one’s own nation, incompatible with socialist ideals. Die SA argued that since socialism really stands for collective welfare, “Marxist socialism divides the people and in this way buries any prerequisite for achieving genuine socialist goals.”

“Hitler saw nationalism as a patriotic motive to place the good of one’s country before personal ambition . . . Die SA summarized, “Marxism makes the distinction of haves and have-nots. It demands the destruction of the former in order to bring all property into possession of the public. National Socialism places the concept of the national community in the foreground. . . . The collective welfare of a people is not achieved through superficially equal distribution of all possessions, but by accepting the principle that before the interests of the individual stand those of the nation.” . . . .

“Hitler regarded Marxist economic policy as no less repugnant to genuine socialism as the concept of class warfare was. Marx advocated de-privatizing all production and property. State control would supposedly insure equitable distribution of manufactured goods and foodstuffs, and protect the population from capitalist exploitation. Hitler advocated private ownership and free enterprise. He believed that competition and opportunities for personal development encourage individual initiative” (Tedor, Hitler’s Revolution, 25-26).

Hitler112

To Hitler, the archetypal “fascist” and “Nazi,” Marxism was a “plague” that stifled true growth, led to societal ruin, and lowered the moral standards of the community. Hitler was as much a communist as I am. As an avowed enemy to communism, Hitler also rejected the feminist assault on traditional institutions and on the value of womanhood. Instead of bowing to the perverse social justice campaign active in his day as in ours, Hitler promoted motherhood and the traditional family.

Yes, National Socialism and Marxist-style socialism are diametrically opposed to one another and share only the most superficial similarities. I implore writers and commentators, historians and “experts,” radio personalities and internet bloggers, to cease besmirching Hitler and the National Socialists by comparing them to the communists and other anti-humanity socialists. In the same way, I urge writers to stop calling feminists and LGBT stooges “Nazis” and “fascists.” They are communists.

For all their flaws, fascist regimes were not totalitarian like communist regimes are. To call feminism “fascist” is a terrible, and inaccurate, parallel. To call the LGBT movement “Nazi” is likewise erroneous at its core. It would be far more accurate to call feminism a communist movement or to label it a communist front, which it is. Most major feminist icons have been literal communists – the avowed enemies of fascism. Communism is infinitely more totalitarian, degrading, and destructive than fascism.

Germany1

After making these controversial points, I want to make one other thing clear: I am not a “Nazi.” I don’t lionize Hitler. He was not a saint (though, truthfully, he is innocent of most of the heinous “crimes” and “atrocities” attributed to him. Most of these alleged “crimes” were inventions of Soviet atrocity propaganda). And I certainly don’t support National Socialism in its entirety, though it contained many very good points and policies, including one or two I’d love to see implemented in the United States, such as its ban on usury.

Politically, I am a constitutionalist. I believe in our unique American form of constitutionalism. I believe the U.S. Constitution was literally inspired by Almighty God and that it is the greatest form of government ever given to man. I believe every form of government that is not in strict harmony with the Constitution is, ultimately, from an evil source regardless of the good intentions of the people who promote them. On this list of anti-Constitution ideologies, to either greater or lesser degree, are: Democracy; communism; socialism; liberalism; parliamentarianism; monarchy; oligarchy; dictatorship; anarchy; feudalism; and fascism.

One more note before I close. I know that most people call feminists “feminazis” because they have been led to believe that the National Socialists were tyrants, or even totalitarians, who forced conformity to their viewpoints. By using the term “feminazis” they are trying to suggest that feminists are totalitarians who seek to force everyone into conformity to their worldview. This sentiment is correct. However, it is simply not true that the National Socialists were totalitarians, so the comparison doesn’t hold water.

Hitler and the NSDAP were not only elected once, but multiple times. In an August 1934 national plebiscite, a year and a half after Hitler had taken power, an astounding 90% of German voters voiced their approval of his actions (Bradberry, The Myth of German Villainy, 229). Later, in 1938, Austria voted 99.75% to join Hitler’s Germany (Bradberry, The Myth of German Villainy, 282). Hitler received mass support from his people unlike any head of state in recent generations. And he did it through the force of his ideas, not through the force of arms.

No, Hitler did not come to power by force or violent revolution, unlike the communists. He did not, as the feminists do, seek to silence those who opposed him. He did not, as the feminist Bolsheviks do, try to bully and coerce his opposition. Rather, he used the legal process to gain influence, promote the family, defend Germany, and punish traitors and subversives.

In short, Hitler had the overwhelming support of the German people in carrying out his well-publicized agenda of restoring Germany, protecting traditional values, and destroying communism. Whether you agree or disagree with his principles is irrelevant; the fact is that he did not behave as the feminists/communists do.

feminism12

To close, I reiterate that feminism is communism and communism is feminism. They are one and the same. Women’s Liberation was founded as a communist front, as was the LGBT monstrosity. The aim of this militant movement was to destroy the traditional family, to extinguish traditional marriage, to usher in an era of depravity, to compromise men by manipulating women, and, ultimately, to restructure society. Never forget that feminism is communism. So, to take a leaf from Hitler’s book, I adapt this truism: Feminism must die for society to survive.
