Update on Some Important Changes

# 11-Feb-2008 02:09 PM -- Note to my readers:


Last week I wrote about how I was contemplating making some decisions concerning this website and some of the other work I am currently involved in concerning men's issues.

Well I've made a decision.


Within the next couple of weeks I am going to remove this website and convert to a blog format. This URL - jjgarage.com - will remain active, but it will soon direct viewers to my new blog site at http://jsoltys.wordpress.com/.


I have been looking into the services offered at Wordpress.com and have begun building my new blog page there. I chose this route because I feel it can better serve myself and my readers. I've reasoned the sacrifices I make by removing the website are minimal to what I will gain by moving in this direction.

This website requires a lot of managing. It eats up a large portion of my free time - writing code, checking code, and then uploading to the site. I can kick out an article in about an hour or two, but then it takes about an hour or more to code and post the article.


On top of this, I have offered current news stories on this site that I felt were of interest to my readers. This in itself took too many hours of my time, from searching the internet, collecting the stories, and then posting the stories. This will be missing on the blog, but I will still offer links directing my readers towards what I feel are the most pertinent stories out there for men.

The main purpose of this change was to free up some of my time so I could engage in other interest concerning men's issues. One particular area I felt I needed to address was letter writing. By the end of most days, I have exhausted most of my free time managing the website, so I've had little time to write letters to newspapers, politicians, authors, corporations, etc, raising awareness concerning men's and father's rights issues - something I feel is absolutely necessary.

Besides offering more flexibility of my time, another feature of the blog is that its topics and content will be included in many Wordpress blogging communities, which means my articles - a voice of men's issues - will reach many more people than my website could. And Wordpress is a feature common among many news organizations, which means the potential for these issues to receive exposure to mainstream news organizations is greater.

The new blog site offers me more features than my website could, which translates into better features for my readers. And since the blog site manages much easier than this website, it means I can funnel more time towards other interest. Most production features on the blog are cut and paste - no more code! This includes the ability to offer more visual aspects such as pictures and video, for which I have some ideas already in the works.

My podcast site JJ's Garage Semi-Live is not going anywhere. As you probably already know, we are going live this weekend. This is probably going to be a permanent change. Some additional equipment was purchased to do these shows, so you can count on our talk show being around for a while. However, it's worth mentioning that all our live broadcasts will be recorded, and then posted afterwards onto our podcasting site for future downloading.

Thank you to all my readers.

I didn't expect to be see such success so quickly. When I started this website at the end of last summer, it received a handful of hits a week. Now I receive several hundred a day, and on occasions, close to a thousand.


I truly appreciate all my loyal readers, and I hope you enjoy my new blog. Don't hesitate to send me a comment or an e-mail concerning your opinion about the change.

I've posted my most recent articles on my blog site, and I will be posting some past article from my archives to build up the content.

As a matter of fact his new blog is up and running you can check him out now:

Divorce and family law is based on an antiquated social custom that it is a man's responsibility to support women because they are weaker, incapable of being equal to men, and better equipped to raise children. This is simply not the case in today's society and our laws need to be changed to reflect this fact.

And a thank you to the webmaster of Abolish-Alimony Bill Cabana, he linked to one of my old post which I found by accident while reading some other MM sites. At that time I stopped posting to my blog becuase I thought no one was listening. It was only after seeing that he linked my post that I decided to get back into blogging again. So please visit his blog and see what he has to offer..

More from the home page:

The Antipeonage Act is appropriate legislation Congress passed to enforce the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime. It is not the least bit unconstitutional, because it is authorized by an Appropriate Legislation Clause. What the Antipeonage Act does is that it defines as null and void any attempt by virtue of state law to establish, maintain, or enforce the service or labor of any person as a peon in liquidation of a debt or obligation, or otherwise. Any enforcement of such is a felony punishable by a fine of not more than $250,000 and imprisonment for not more than 20 years. If however, there is a kidnapping involved, say what happened to Dawn Case, imprisonment may be for any term of years to life.

Peonage is thus legally required labor to pay a debt or obligation. That child support is covered by the Antipeonage Act is argued in my briefs filed in Knight v. Maleng, 9th Cir. 00-35625. The United States Supreme Court denied review of this case on October 1, 2001. That sucks, but there are millions of us nationwide, and for those of you who are not fighting back, what the Hell is stopping you? Answer: You. When you stop stopping you, that is the beginning of us stopping them. The day you stop being afraid of them is the day they start being afraid of you. With the Antipeonage Act, they have a lot to fear.

By Free Congress Foundation: Stephen Baskerville on May 11, 2006



A problematic question for the next conservatism is the politics of “gender” (formerly known as sex). It is also urgent.



A critical change in the Left over the last few decades has been the shift from the economic to the social and increasingly the sexual. What was once a semi-socialistic attack on property and enterprise has become a social and sexual attack on the family, marriage and masculinity.



The consequences are incalculable. No ideology in human history has been potentially so invasive of the private sphere of life as Feminism. Communists had little respect for privacy. Feminists have made it their main target.



Like other radical movements, only more so, Feminism’s danger comes not so much from the assault on freedom (which traditional tyrannies also threaten) but specifically from the attack on private life, especially family life (which traditional dictatorships usually leave alone). “Radical Feminism is totalitarian because it denies the individual a private space; every private thought and action is public and, therefore, political,” writes Former Judge and Solicitor General Robert H. Bork. “The party or the movement claims the right to control every aspect of life.”



The Left’s brilliant move has been to clothe its attack on the family as a defense of “women and children.” Marian Wright Edelman openly acknowledges she founded the Children’s Defense Fund to push a Leftist agenda: “I got the idea that children might be a very effective way to broaden the base for change.” This climaxed in the Clinton Administration, in which radical policy innovations were invariably justified as “for the children.” Using children to leverage an expansion of state power by eliminating family privacy is succinctly conveyed in Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s aphorism, “There is no such thing as other people’s children.”



This nationalization of the family under the guise of protecting it leaves pro-family politicians in a difficult position. One way out is to join in the demonization of those who literally embody the Feminists’ hated “patriarchy” - fathers. Relabeled “deadbeat dads,” “batterers” and “pedophiles,” fathers are now railroaded into jail through methods one recent scholar, writing in the RUTGERS LAW REVIEW, calls a “due process fiasco” and Bryce Christensen says is leading to a “police state.”



Knee-jerk calls to “get tough” on criminals have unintended consequences when the penal apparatus has been commandeered by ideologues who redefine criminality to include an assortment of gender offenses that bear little relation to what most Americans understand as crime.



The evolution of the Justice Department’s Office of Victims of Crime illustrates the deception. Proceeding from President Ronald Reagan’s 1982 Task Force on Victims of Crime, this agency has since been hijacked by Feminists, and most of the “crimes” have been redefined in Feminist terms. By definition, the “victims” are all women, the “perpetrators” are all men and the “crimes” are mostly political: sexual harassment, date “rape” (which is seldom rape), domestic “violence” (that is not violent), child abuse (that may be ordinary parental discipline), “stalking” (fathers trying to see their children), and so forth.



Far from softening the hard edges of male-dominated power politics, Feminism has inserted calculations of power into the most private corners of life and subjected family life to bureaucratic control. This is what makes the dream of a more “caring” public sphere through Feminism not only naïve but dangerously utopian. For as Feminists correctly pointed out, the feminine functions were traditionally private; politicizing the feminine has therefore meant politicizing private life. This is why the “totalitarian” potential which Bork senses is already being realized.



“All politics is on one level sexual politics,” writes George Gilder. At least sexual politics is the logical culmination of all radical politics, which is the politics that has defined modern history.



More than any other threat, Feminism demands that the next conservatism examine conservatives’ own reflexes and habits in a world in which radical assumptions have permeated well beyond the ranks of Leftist ideologues. It demands that a new conservative agenda challenges not just this doctrine or that, but the very concept of a politics defined by ideologies, activists, organizations, opinion-mongers, and a professional political class for whom politics is all-consuming (even when we agree with them). The next conservatism must try to recover a civic life of citizens, householders, parents, churches and synagogues, local communities, and values that transcend political calculation. Czech - dissident and later



President Vaclav Havel called this “apolitical politics”: a world where, contrary to Feminists and Communists and all ideologues, the personal is not political.
