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:

More on the man, the myth, the legend that is Fidel Castro.

From Discover The Networks (link):

Castro had only been in power two months when he started sending armed guerrillas to attempt the overthrow of neighboring nations. The Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua, Haiti and Venezuela were the early targets. In fact Castro's very first trip abroad as head of state was to Caracas, where on January 25th, 1959 he implored then Venezuelan President Romulo Betancourt to join his "master plan against the gringos!" Basically this involved massive loans, financial aid and shipments of free oil to Castro from Venezuela, Betancourt balked and no sooner had Castro returned home empty handed, then he was planning subversion in Venezuela, including assassination attempts against Betancourt.



For 34 years Markus Wolf was the chief of East Germany's foreign intelligence service, a branch of the STASI with many contacts and operations in Castro's Cuba. It was the STASI rather than the KGB that undertook the training of Castro's police and intelligence services. Wolf's autobiography is titled, "Man Without a Face" and subtitled, "The Autobiography of Communism's Greatest Spymaster." Most intelligence experts agree that the subtitle fits. Wolf was once asked about the Kennedy assassination and quickly replied. "Don't ask me -- ask Fidel Castro."



Among other initiatives at the Conference, Cuba formed OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People from Africa, Asia and Latin America.) and the DLN (National Liberation Directorate). This later was under the direction of KGB Col. Vadim Kotchergine and set up massive terrorist training camps in western Cuba. These were soon filled with guerrillas and terrorists from Al Fatah, to the Sandinistas, to El Salvador's FMLF, to the Tupamaros to the Weather Underground to the IRA and Spain's ETA.




In 1968 Castro sent military instructors into Palestinian bases in Jordan to train Palestinian Fedayeen. In November 1974 Castro personally decorated his brother-in-arms, Yasir Arafat, with Cuba's highest honor, the Bay of Pigs Medal. The Egyptian newspaper Ahar Sa'ah reported in September 13, 1978 that 500 Palestinian fighters were training in Cuba.



Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, the infamous "Carlos The Jackal" known as the world's most notorious terrorist throughout the 1970's received his training in Cuba and lived in Cuba for years. Everyone from America's Black Liberation Army to Puerto Rico's Macheteros, to South Yemen's NLF, to Argentina's Monteneros, to Colombia's ELN , to Namibia's SWAPO, to the Black Panthers, to Western Sahara's Polisaro to the IRA have received training and funding from Castro. "Thanks to Castro," boasted Colombia's FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) commander Tiro-Fijo in a 2001 interview, "we are now a powerful army, not a hit and run band."

Why the word needs to be spread about communist thugs like this guy (link):

Annoying as the Che adulation is, a recent comment by a 14-year-old on an online movie message board was truly disturbing: "I just saw The Motorcycle Diaries, (link) (link) which further made me question: Why is communism bad? . . . Young people are told how bad communism is, but we are not told why. . . . The Motorcycle Diaries showed me how Ernesto Guevara wanted to help people. . . . But this did not explain why he was such a 'bad' person and apparently deserved to be murdered by the U.S."

So let's dive into the cult of personality that is Che Guevara.




First a bit of intro from Alvaro Vargas Llosa (link)

Che Guevara, who did so much (or was it so little?) to destroy capitalism, is now a quintessential capitalist brand. His likeness adorns mugs, hoodies, lighters, key chains, wallets, baseball caps, toques, bandannas, tank tops, club shirts, couture bags, denim jeans, herbal tea, and of course those omnipresent T-shirts with the photograph, taken by Alberto Korda, of the socialist heartthrob in his beret during the early years of the revolution, as Che happened to walk into the photographer’s viewfinder—and into the image that, thirty-eight years after his death, is still the logo of revolutionary (or is it capitalist?) chic. Sean O’Hagan claimed in The Observer that there is even a soap powder with the slogan “Che washes whiter.”





It is customary for followers of a cult not to know the real life story of their hero, the historical truth. (Many Rastafarians would renounce Haile Selassie if they had any notion of who he really was.) It is not surprising that Guevara’s contemporary followers, his new post-communist admirers, also delude themselves by clinging to a myth—except the young Argentines who have come up with an expression that rhymes perfectly in Spanish: “Tengo una remera del Che y no sé por qué,” or “I have a Che T-shirt and I don’t know why.

here's his résumé (link)

* Chief executioner for the Castro regime, responsible for the murder of thousands

* Was appointed Cuba's Minister of Economics in 1960; within months the Cuban peso was practically worthless.

* Was appointed Cuba's Minister of Industries in 1961; within a year a previously prosperous nation was rationing food, closing factories, and losing hundreds of thousands of its most productive citizens, who were happy to flee with only the clothes on their backs.

A summary on the book Exposing the Real Che Guevara
goes a bit futher into the matter (link):

A masterfully written critical biography of the iconic communist revolutionary, and an expose of the ignorants who lionize him (link) by Humberto Fontova. (He has appeared on many radio and television shows and is active in the Cuban American community.)



Nearly four decades after his death, it's impossible to avoid the image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara everywhere from T-shirts to cartoons. Liberals consider Che a revolutionary martyr who gave his life to help the poor of Latin America. Time named him one of the one hundred most influential people of the last century. And a major Hollywood movie is about to lionize him to a new generation.



The reality, as we learn from Cuban exile Humberto Fontova, is that Che wasn't really a gentle soul and a selfless hero. He was a violent Communist who thought nothing of firing a gun into the stomach of a woman six months pregnant whose only crime was that her family opposed him. And he was a hypocrite who lusted after material luxuries while cultivating his image as a man of the people.




Fontova reveals that Che openly talked about his desire to use nuclear weapons against New York City. Such was Che's bloodthirsty hatred that Fontova considers him the godfather of modern terrorism.

by thew way Che really loved his job (link):

Hard-Working Firing Squads


Che's initial headquarters was the massive La Cabana fortress in Havana where his firing squads literally worked in shifts, their work occasionally slowed when Che's hand and wrist needed a rest from signing death warrants. Che had a slab-stone wall of his office turned into a picture window so he could enjoy watching the firing squads at work. Che's pattern of killing seems to suggest an erotic motive rather than an ideological or a juridical one. Most people, fortunately, prefer more salubrious kinds of sexual excitement. Killing seemed to do it for Che; killings he performed personally or merely ordered.



A Cuban woman whose husband had merely been a policeman and in no way a "war criminal" under Batista was sentenced to death by firing squad. She somehow succeeded in making her way into Che's office to plead for his life. He listened, then without saying a word to her picked up the phone and barked orders for his execution to be moved up to that very night. He heard the plea of a young boy prisoner who told Che his mother needed his meager earnings for support. Che murdered him on the spot. Che got annoyed when a group of women gathered outside the prison to claim the bullet-ridden bodies of their husbands. Che yelled there'd be no "visits" that night and had his goons tear-gas the widows. These are only a sprinkling of the less gruesome tales of Che; all are well corroborated.

More on on him from Wikipedia (link)

Antonio Gramsci (January 23, 1891 – April 27, 1937) was an Italian writer, politician and political theorist. A founding member and onetime leader of the Communist Party of Italy, he was imprisoned by Mussolini's Fascist regime. His writings are heavily concerned with the analysis of culture and political leadership and he is notable as a highly original thinker within the Marxist tradition. He is renowned for his concept of cultural hegemony as a means of maintaining the state in a capitalist society.

More on Friedrich Engels from Wikipedia (link):

Friedrich Engels (November 28, 1820 – August 5, 1895) was a German social scientist and philosopher, who developed communist theory alongside his better-known collaborator, Karl Marx, co-authoring The Communist Manifesto (1848). Engels also edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital after Marx's death.



Later years



After Marx's death, Engels devoted much of his remaining years to editing and translating Marx's unpublished works. However, he also contributed significantly to other areas, such as feminist theory. Engels believed that the concept of monogamous marriage was created from the domination of men over women. Engels would tie this particular argument to communist thought by arguing that men have dominated women just as the capitalist class has dominated workers. One of the best examples of Engels' thoughts on these issues are in his work The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.

From Wikipedia (link)

Das Kapital (Capital, in the English translation) is an extensive treatise on political economy written by Karl Marx and edited in part by Friedrich Engels in German. The book is a critical analysis of capitalism and its practical economic application and also, in part, a critique of other related theories. Its first volume was published in 1867.

His name is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)

More from Wikipedia (link)

Hegel influenced writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (Bauer, Marx, Bradley, Sartre, Küng), and his detractors (Schelling, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Russell). Hegel discussed a relation between nature and freedom, immanence and transcendence, and the unification of these dualities without eliminating either pole or reducing it to the other. His influential conceptions are of speculative logic or "dialectic," "absolute idealism," "Spirit," the "Master/Slave" dialectic, "ethical life," and the importance of history.



Totalitarianism


(Søren) Kierkegaard, one of Hegel's earliest critics, criticized Hegel's "absolute knowledge" unity, not only because it was arrogant for a mere human to claim such a unity, but also because such a system negates the importance of the individual in favour of the whole unity. In Concluding Unscientific Postscript, one of Kierkegaard's main attacks of Hegel, he writes, under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus:

So-called systems have often been characterized and challenged in the assertion that they abrogate the distinction between good and evil, and destroy freedom. Perhaps one would express oneself quite as definitely, if one said that every such system fantastically dissipates the concept existence. ... Being an individual man is a thing that has been abolished, and every speculative philosopher confuses himself with humanity at large; whereby he becomes something infinitely great, and at the same time nothing at all.
– Johannes Climacus, alias Søren Kierkegaard, Concluding Unscientific Postscript I

Popper suggested that Hegel's system forms a thinly veiled justification for the rule of Frederick William III, and that Hegel's idea of the ultimate goal of history is to reach a state approximating that of 1830s Prussia. In The Open Society and Its Enemies, he argued that Hegel's philosophy eventually inspired both Marxism and fascism.

Indeed, Hegel points out that all personal relations can thus be reduced to the fundamental relation of master and slave, of domination and submission. Each must strive to assert and prove himself, and he who has not the nature, the courage, and the general capacity for preserving his independence, must be reduced to servitude. This charming theory of personal relations has, of course, its counterpart in Hegel's theory of international relations. Nations must assert themselves on the Stage of History; it is their duty to attempt the domination of the World.
– Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies

In agreement with Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard, Popper accused Hegel's philosophy of being essentially vacuous, labelling it "bombastic and mystifying cant".

Santayana also interpreted Hegel as defending whoever held power, the position that might makes right.

The worship of power is an old religion, and Hegel, to go no farther back, is full of it; but like traditional religion his system qualified its veneration for success by attributing success, in the future at least, to what could really inspire veneration; and such a master in equivocation could have no difficulty in convincing himself that the good must conquer in the end if whatever conquers in the end is the good.

– George Santayana, Winds of Doctrine, I

Several different summaries on socialism:



COMMUNISM (link)

Strictly speaking, communism means a scheme of equalising the social conditions of life; specifically, a scheme which contemplates the abolition of inequalities in the possession of property, as by distributing all wealth equally to all, or by holding all wealth in common for the equal use and advantage of all. The means to achieve this is by collectivisation of all private property. Although meant to indicate the means of production, to be consistent communism requires that no individual may own anything exclusively, privately. Not the product of his work (thus his mind), nor any personal material benefit he may achieve as a result of it. All material is centralised and distributed by legislators, the intention being to achieve equal utility (of material) by all. Freedom of expression tends also to be mediated by the state for the same reasons and to maintain the 'integrity' of the collective. You can find a Marxist book in a US bookstore but you cant find Ludwig von Mises in a Cuban library



In practice communism fails dismally. The only way it can be achieved is if every single member of a communist society is in absolute agreement with the above arrangement - and that the legislators are not open to corruption in the form of personal acquisition or favour. We have seen in section one that is it proper for man to own the product of his mind, or that acquired by accident of birth. If such is taken in any way other than voluntarily it is robbery.




For a fuller explanation of communism please refer to the communist manifesto and observe the manner in which human beings are to be moulded and shaped according to Marx and Engels' beliefs.

also from Conservapedia (link)

The ideology of Socialism is subject to a variety of interpretations. From a conservative perspective, socialism is an economic system whereby the means of production are seized and monopolized by the government without compensation to the builders of the capital, and where investments, production, distribution, income, prices, and economic justice are administered by a government nomenklatura that regulate the transfer of money, goods (including capital goods), and services primarily through taxation and regularized and institutionalized aggressive coercion. However, the majority of socialists would reject this description.



Democratic socialists advocate a system of governance based on the principles of solidarity, equality and liberty, viewing these principles as interconnected, with increased socio-economic equality associated with increased practical freedom to fulfil human potential. In many countries, such as the United Kingdom, socialist movements have been built on Christian and co-operative bases, embracing the notion that individuals should 'treat others as they would wish to be treated', and arguing that all individuals have a moral responsibility for the welfare of other members of their society. Socialism seeks to prioritize human welfare over other goals, such as profit and wealth accumulation by elites; it views increased redistribution of wealth as vital to securing greater freedom and happiness for the bulk of the people, and deplores the devastating effects of gross inequality on society in terms of increased crime, mental illness, unhappiness and lack of life chances.

and this (link):

Communism is Karl Marx's proposed establishment of a "classless society" by means of eliminating private property. However, no communist society has ever been classless; each has been dominated by a self appointed Nomenklatura.

and this (link):

The Nomenklatura were a self-appointed group running the administration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics during the era when the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had a political monopoly and outlawed opposition. The nomenklatura were the only group of persons who held citizenship rights. At the time of the Soviet Union's demise along with the nomenklatura in 1992, nearly 300 million people were dominated, controlled, and were citizenshipless in the country of their birth.



The idea of an elite and privileged nomenklatura to staff the civil service of the Soviet state originated with its founder, Vladimir Lenin.



According to some sources, in less than the past 100 years, governments under the banner of communism have claimed between 65 million and 110 million lives. Today, it continues to oppress one-fifth of the world's people. It is worth noting that no states of any magnitude have existed that strictly fulfilled the definition of "communist", although they have approached it with varying degrees of accuracy. Many states have, however, proclaimed themselves as communist.

This is part of the reason why socialism is bad for you.

From their about us page:

Founded in 1995, the International Boys’ Schools Coalition is a not-for-profit coalition of independent, parochial and public schools from around the world dedicated to the education and development of boys, the professional growth of those who work with them, and the advocacy and advancement of institutions – primarily schools for boys – that serve them.



The roster of approximately 150 Regular Members schools includes many of the major independent and parochial boys’ schools worldwide. Associate Membership is open to individuals, co-educational schools, associations or other organizations which wish to work with the Coalition for the achievement of its purposes.

Who are we? United States Citizens: We are Americans, interested in restoring our basic due process rights, to family, home, liberty and property - rights already guaranteed to us by both our state and federal Constitutions. Like millions of previously unsuspecting Americans, we have been shocked and terrorized by out-of-control government agencies and court systems, and their officers and employees. We intend to take our rights back, once and for all, by the sheer power and influence of our united voices and actions.

We have a long road ahead.



The marriage strike is just the beginning. Like globalization or climate change, the marriage strike is not an easily tracked phenomena and the decline of marriage is merely the first symptoms of the conflict to come. Within the next few years, as the decline of marriages becomes too obvious for the media to continue ignoring it, there will be the usual spin doctors in the media who will eagerly depict this negatively as possible. Men will be portrayed as selfish, antisocial or even traitorous to browbeat them back into the slavery that is the marriage/divorce cycle.



This will not be resolved in a scant few years. This is a crusade which will take a generation and likely longer to truly bring to a proper conclusion. An entire generation of men have been beaten spiritually and emotionally. They have been condemned as criminals for the 'crime' of not being women. An entire generation of women have been raised to think of themselves as princesses. If history has shown us anything, once people assume a throne, it takes a revolution to remove them.




This is not a strike. This is a revolution.

What Is The Marriage Strike blog

http://whatisthemarriagestrike.blogspot.com

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.
