U Not Gonna Like This

Okay. I'm going to change the template now. If you see the site disappear or any error messages it means I'm in the process of trying to update the site. Hopefully it will work correctly after I'm done.

Sobering stats from Numbers USA:

Background: Some Americans and lawmakers make the common error to think that unemployment figures measure people without jobs. Rather, they measure only those people who are actively looking for jobs and have signed up with government unemployment agencies. The potential labor pool is far larger than the government reports because so many people are not in the labor market at all for the following reasons:

they were laid off and ran out of unemployment benefits;

they stopped work because of illness, injury, pregnancy and they didn't have enough incentive to look for a job or the jobs weren't attractive enough;

they failed to find a job for so long that they gave up; or

they are disabled (the vast majority of disabled American cannot get a job)


also on the sidebar of this page are the following stats:

14 million Americans are unable to find full-time jobs in the current economy. —

There are 55,436,000 million Americans, ages 16-64, who are not in the labor force.
— U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey; July, 2007 BLS

Forty percent of working-age African-American men are unemployed.
— BLS

Mind you these are just the numbers from the people that bother to register with the feds. (So it's much higher than that.)

and just a bit more from the bottom of the page:

There is some direct evidence that immigration has harmed less-educated natives; states with the largest increase in immigrants also saw larger declines in natives working; and in occupational categories that received the most new immigrants, native unemployment averages 10 percent.

Some of the occupations most impacted by immigration include maids, construction laborers, dishwashers, janitors, painters, cabbies, grounds keepers, and meat/poultry workers. The overwhelming majority of workers in these occupations are native-born.

It's a damn shame but yet it will continue as long as people keep putting the same clowns in office year after year..

Soon I will be doing a little updating of the web log and house cleaning but not
of the post. Those will stay. Until tomorrow night..

This post from the archives of Pooks Mill:

Here is a fantastic article Newsweek did on the 'marriage crunch' way back in 1986. The article is full of great quotes and really reveals how some women think (such as one women deciding to buy a house instead of getting a husband to do it. So that is the purpose of husbands is to turn them into a house?). It also shows many women's panic over this article back then.


And on the MSNBC Site:

It was Valentine's Day when Sharon Makover learned of it on the news, and the irony did not elude her. "I thought, 'This is not what I want to be hearing today"." Having recently split up with one boyfriend, Makover was at a crossroads: should she throw herself into her career or commit to a new boyfriend living in another country? "It got me thinking about what I wanted to do with my life," says Makover, 26, a curatorial assistant at the Jewish Museum in New York. A month later she was engaged.

All things being equal, Los Angeles screenwriter Nancy Rigg would prefer having a husband. Nevertheless, the news infuriated her. "It reinforces an old myth that once you hit 30, you're over the hill," says Rigg, 36. "I imagine that women who are buying into this are pretty depressed right now. It was like Moses came down the mountain and said, 'Boo on you women"."

If you don't think men are targets of persecution in the United States, get a look at this:

Here's the link: Man Arrested After Telling Women They Were 'Extremely Beautiful'

Here's the story:

DENVER, CO -- A man who told two women they were extremely beautiful was arrested on charges of harassment last week, Denver police said. Police said 32-year-old Jeff John Hergert approached the women and "expressed interest in them." He told each woman in two separate incidents that they were extremely beautiful and that they should consider modeling. Hergert was arrested and is being held on two counts of harassment. He is being held on a $10,000 bond.

For those of you reading this blog that have not been following events in the men's issues blogosphere several men friendly to the cause have been trying to get an entry posted to Wikipedia on Men Going Their Own Way. However, at each and every turn an administrator at Wikipedia has blocked efforts made by anyone to add our own terminology to thier site. Here's the story from Male Samizdat (link):


Wikipedia Going The Feminist Way


Posted: July 6th, 2007, 12:06am PDT by Male Samizdat

Here is the original call to battle by Fred X.

So much for Wikipedia's much-vaunted "NPOV" (neutral point of view) policy. It turns out Wikipedia actually has a "FPOV" (feminazi point of view) policy.

If you haven't heard yet, the article "MGTOW" (Men Going Their Own Way) has been repeatedly entered by men's rights advocates, and then deleted by feminazis and/or their mangina accomplices

For those who are new to this, MGTOW is the leaderless, distributed movement of men who are, each on their own, boycotting the poisonous, ubiquitous matriarchal culture. This is done mostly by refusing to socialize with Western skanks, but also by doing things like not engaging in the corporate rat race, not watching the vileness that is television and otherwise avoiding the mainstream media.

Apparently, someone is threatened by MGTOW. Might it be that feminists are afraid men will wake up and challenge their cultural and institutional hegemony? We all know what the effects of that have been - absolute cultural and social devastation. The truth is, however, feminist domination can only work as long as men consent to be co-opted by the fematrix.

The question is: will you allow yourself to be enslaved for the sake of the faint promise of occasional sex? If the answer is no, then you have taken the most important step in throwing off matriarchy.

The effort to get Wikipedia to reverse its decision is important. However, new men's rights blogs keep popping up. Wikipedia can keep us out of their world, but they can't shut us up.

Male Samizdat's view on the Marriage Strike (link):




An Epidemiological View of the Marriage Strike


Posted: May 29th, 2007, 7:00am PDT by Male Samizdat





I would like to take a slightly different view of the marriage strike - a epidemiological one.




In the past, one of the best tools public health officials had to combat the spread of disease was the quarantine. Keep people from mutual contact, and those dirty little germs couldn't propagate.





The two fuels that power the feminist machine are men's money and men's genes. Deny them both, and you can eventually get feminism to die down.





Like all parasites, feminists need a host to thrive. The marriage strike, in effect, quarantines feminists so they cannot propagate through the male population.





Epidemiology is the study of disease in populations, and can be used to analyze feminism with respect to marriage. The epidemiologic triangle is agent, environment, and host. Remove any one of the three and you can stop the spread of the disease. (In this it is similar to the fire triangle of fuel, oxygen, and heat)






The agent is the Western Woman (more specifically, her feminist ideas)





The environment is the popular culture and its accomplices




The host is the American man (not metrosexuals or gays - they are part of the environment)





We cannot directly affect, in this case, agent or environment...but we can remove the host (ourselves) from this travesty of culture disease. Through the marriage strike, we remove ourselves from the agent and the environment, and thus quarantine the agent - the American Woman - until she is free of the disease (changes her views on men) or, in a sociological sense, "dies" (that is, fails to marry and fails to have children). The corollary to this, men, is that we cannot be marrying western women (duh!),. sleeping around, or donating to sperm banks. To paraphrase Duncan Idaho's masthead on Eternal Bachelor, "Give modern women the children they deserve: none."





In public health, dwellings that are hazardous to human health are marked "unfit for human habitation". We might now say that "American women are unfit for human cohabitation".

Hi femmies!!!










I gotta surprise for joooo!!!

"Female anger is the weathervane of truth."
Webmaster of mystery site

Here's an article I grabbed off the 'net some time ago and burned to one of my many cd's full of articles. I would usually give credit to the orginal author but unfortunately, I failed to make a note of who wrote this piece. Anyhow here a article explaning the sexual power women have over men and how they use it to manipulate men ofr thier own personal gain.

SEXUAL POWER

The average woman is a spoiled child, a selfish and arrogant bundle of
desires, raised to be a rapacious taker from men. By the age of 5 or 6 a
little girl has learned to scramble up onto Daddy's lap and to manipulate
him with flowing tears or a sly look or a downturned face. He responds by
taking care of her every need. Daddy is only nobly trying to insulate his
little girl from what he knows to be a hard world, but
unfortunately he's green-lighting her future as an abuser of men. She has
already begun to grasp the raw power of her femininity-by acting "female"
she can get anything she wants from a man.

For some reason these tactics don't seem to work very well on Mommy, so
she understands that her power draws its energy from the opposite gender.

By the time her breasts begin to swell and her figure rounds into soft
curves, she's discovered exactly how this power works. She is well aware
of the effect she has on the boys around her, how much they seem to lust
after her ripening body. The more they want her, the more she realizes the
value of her commodity. She exults in her new-found strength, sensing its
awesome potential, and even chuckles haughtily to herself at the boys who
ogle her when she wiggles by. She understands that she is in control-this
is something she can use to her advantage. It is the birth of an attitude
which will ruin normal relationships with men for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile, Mom and Church, witnessing the verge of her womanhood, begin to
instruct her to withhold sex, sermonizing that her body is a "gift" which
she must save to give to "someone special". But it's too late. She's
already learned that it's not a gift, but stock in trade-boys are waiting
in line to bring her presents and compete for her attention. She really
doesn't understand what all the fuss is about, why they are so intent on
"getting into her pants". She has already assimilated the knowledge that
her body is a tool, to be used for gain, not pleasure. Her mother
continually warns her that "nice girls don't", and the more she holds out,
the bigger the pile of pres-ents grows. She doesn't realize that "nice
girls don't" is just a euphemism for dishonest prostitution; that as she
flirts and sticks out her breasts and wears sexually provocative clothing
she is exchanging the promise of sex for gifts (money). And Mom is frantic
to make sure that she remains a "good girl" (dishonest whore), so she
teaches her that if a boy really likes you, he'll: take you out (spend
money on you); date you exclusively (he's willing to let you train him,
and he won't be wasting the resources he could be giving to you on other
girls); and not demand sex in return (play the game by your rules, so that
you can extort as much money as possible from him without obligation
before surrendering your "gift", if you do at all).

Mom is teaching her that for women, love is power; for men, it is enslavement.
The greater a man's sexual needs, the more obedient he will be forced to become. If she
manages her "gift" astutely, the payoff will be a lifetime of ease without
her ever having to lift a finger.

Continuing in my series of post on the Anti-Federalist Papaers here is Anti-Federalist Paper Number 12 written by Cincinnatus:



Antifederalist No. 12 HOW WILL THE NEW GOVERNMENT RAISE MONEY?

"CINCINNATUS" is an Antifederalist writer. In this essay, from an Address to a Meeting of the Citizens of Philadelphia, the writer responds to James Wilson's statements about Congress' powers to tax under the Constitution. It appeared in the November 29 and December 6, 1787, New-York Journal, as reprinted from a Philadelphia newspaper.

On the subject of taxation, in which powers are to be given so largely by the new constitution, you [James Wilson of Pennsylvania] lull our fears of abuse by venturing to predict "that the great revenue of the United States must, and always will, be raised by impost"-and you elevate our hopes by holding out, "the reviving and supporting the national credit." If you have any other plan for this, than by raising money upon the people to pay the interest of the national debt, your ingenuity will deserve our thanks. Supposing however, that raising money is necessary to payment of the interest, and such a payment [is] requisite to support the credit of the union-let us see how much will be necessary for that end, and how far the impost will supply what we want. The arrearages of French and Spanish interest amount now to--1,500,000 dollars; Interest and installments of do. for 1788--850,227; Support of government; and its departments, for 1788--500,000; Arrears and anticipations of 1787-- 300,000; Interest of domestic debt-- 500,000 {total} 4,650,227 [3,650,227]

The new Congress then, supposing it to get into operation towards October, 1788, will have to provide for this sum, and for the additional sum of 3,000,000 at least for the ensuing year; which together will make the sum of 7,650,227 [6,650,227].

Now let us see how the impost will answer this. Congress have furnished us with their estimate of the produce of the whole imports of America at five per cent and that is 800,000 dollars. There will remain to provide for, by other taxes, 6,850,227 [5,850,227].

We know too, that our imports diminish yearly, and from the nature of things must continue to diminish; and consequently that the above estimate of the produce of the impost, will in all probability fall much short of the supposed sum. But even without this, it must appear that you [were] either intentionally misleading your hearers, or [were] very little acquainted with the subject when you ventured to predict that the great revenue of the United States would always flow from the impost. The estimate above is from the publications of Congress, and I presume is right. But the sum stated, necessary to be raised by the new government, in order to answer the expectations they have raised, is not all. The state debts, independent of what each owes to the United States, amount to about 30,000,000 dollars; the annual interest of this is 1,000,000.

It will be expected that the new government will provide for this also; and such expectation is founded, not only on the promise you hold forth, of its reviving and supporting public credit among us, but also on this unavoidable principle of justice-that is, the new government takes away the impost, and other substantial taxes, from the produce of which the several states paid the interest of their debt, or funded the paper with which they paid it. The new government must find ways and means of supplying that deficiency, . . . in hard money, for . . . paper . . . cannot [be used] without a violation of the principles it boasts. The sum then which it must annually raise in specie, after the first year, cannot be less than 4,800,000. At present there is not one half of this sum in specie raised in all the states. And yet the complaints of intolerable taxes has produced one rebellion and will be mainly operative in the adoption of your constitution. How you will get this sum is inconceivable and yet get it you must, or lose all credit. With magnificent promises you have bought golden opinions of all sorts of people, and with gold you must answer them, . . .

To satisfy [our fellow citizens] more fully on the subject of the revenue, that is to be raised upon them, in order to give enormous fortunes to the jobbers in public securities, I shall lay before them a proposition to Congress, from Mr. Robert Morris, when superintendent of finance. It is dated, I think,' the 29th of June, 1782, and is in these words:

[1 say, I think, because by accident the month is erased in the note I have, and I have not access to public papers which would enable me to supply the defect.]

"The requisition of a five per cent impost, made on the 3d of February, 1781, has not yet been complied with by the state of Rhode Island, but as there is reason to believe, that their compliance is not far off, this revenue may be considered as already granted. It will, however, be very inadequate to the purposes intended. If goods be imported, and prizes introduced to the amount of twelve millions annually, the five per cent would be six hundred thousand, from which at least one sixth must be deducted, as well for the cost of collection as for the various defalcations which will necessarily happen, and which it is unnecessary to enumerate. It is not safe therefore, to estimate this revenue at more than half a million of dollars; for though it may produce more, yet probably it will not produce so much. It was in consequence of this, that on the 27th day of February last, I took the liberty to submit the propriety of asking the states for a land tax of one dollar for every hundred acres of land-a poll-tax of one dollar on all freemen, and all male slaves, between sixteen and sixty, excepting such as are in the federal army, or by wounds or otherwise rendered unfit for service-and an excise of one eighth of a dollar, on all distilled spiritous liquors. Each of these may be estimated at half a million; and should the product be equal to the estimation, the sum total of revenues for funding the public debts, would be equal to two millions."

You will readily perceive, Mr. Wilson, that there is a vast difference between your prediction and your friend's proposition. Give me leave to say, sir, that it was not discreet, in you, to speak upon finance without instructions from this great financier. Since, independent of its delusive effect upon your audience, it may excite his jealousy, lest you should have a secret design of rivalling him in the expected office of superintendent under the new constitution. It is true, there is no real foundation for it; but then you know jealousy makes the food it feeds on. A quarrel between two such able and honest friends to the United States, would, I am persuaded, be felt as a public calamity. I beseech you then to be very tender upon this point in your next harangue. And if four months' study will not furnish you with sufficient discretion, we will indulge you with six.

The present government promises nothing; the intended government, everything. From the present government little is expected; from the intended one, much. Because it is conceived that to the latter much is given; to the former, little. And yet the inability of the people to pay what is required in specie, remaining the same, the funds of the one will not much exceed those of the other. The public creditors are easy with the present government from a conviction of its inability [to pay]. They will be urgent with the new one from an opinion, that as is promised, so it can and will perform every thing. Whether the change will be for our prosperity and honor, is yet to be tried. Perhaps it will be found, that the supposed want of power in Congress to levy taxes is, at present a veil happily thrown over the inability of the people; and that the large powers given to the new government will, to every one, expose the nakedness of our land. Certain it is, that if the expectations which are grafted on the gift of those plenary powers, are not answered, our credit will be irretrievably ruined.

From Father's Unite (link):


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.
