Nine Traits of Masculine Men

(Yes, it is a Honda. I just posed on a neighbor's.)

Satanism is causing us to question
everything.
All the more reason to affirmthe natural order: gender and family.

Women need to encourage men to be who they really are and not who women think they should be. 

This means women should back off.  But, for the guys out there who haven't got a
clue who they are and what real women want and need, here goes:

The Traits of a Masculine Man

Confidence:  Believe in yourself, not only that you
can do what you set out to do, but that you already are what you need to
be (even if on the outside it doesn't yet show.)  

Courage:  A masculine man is courageous (I'm...

The Left Have Only Themselves to Blame About Backfiring Russian Sanctions. But Don’t’ Worry. The Guardian Has the Solution
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

The Guardian journalist believes the solution is to put Putin in line and – ho-ho-ho – pull off a nuclear strike against Russia.

The Left in the UK and the U.S. has never been in a more pathetic state politically. And yet, it still controls some bastions of influence over the common beliefs which media perpetuate and which are often taken at face value. Recently U.S. president Joe Biden visited the Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman to beg for oil production to be raised considerably from the Saudi oilfields so that Biden could reduce the pump price back home and not face what is inevitably going to be a crushing defeat at the polls when the midterm elections happen in November. Biden’s popularity with the American people is already at a dangerously low level and even if he ignores the White House doctor’s predictions that his own health is in such a poor state that he won’t even finish his own second term as President, Biden will de be destroyed by the midterms which will be a signal that there needs to be a new candidate to take him on for president from the Democrats side. According to some press reports, already Hillary Clinton is said to want to run again against Trump, if we can believe what we are being presented as credible journalism.

In the Middle East Biden showed not only America but the whole world that the U.S. has lost its dominance across the globe and especially in the Middle East where it is now no longer the big daddy security guarantor but merely a customer who needs oil at the right price. Biden’s two years dithering on the foreign policy circuit secured that, especially when it kicked off with a statement announcing that he would make Saudi Arabia a pariah state for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and that he wouldn’t ever sit with its crown prince MbS. It wasn’t just that he looked a fool in Saudi Arabia where he fist-bumped the crown prince, it was that he was making history as the first U.S. president in history to be taken so unseriously that his mere presence drives the Saudis and other GCC leaders into the arms of both the Russians and the Chinese. Even the Saudi foreign minister said as much in a CNN interview and so what we are witnessing is a new dawn altogether and the demise of U.S. hegemony perhaps started during Trump’s period where he pulled out of the JCPOA deal with Iran – which the Saudis now accept was a huge mistake – and more recently accelerated by the war in Ukraine, which many could argue was started by Biden in 2014 when he orchestrated what could be called a coup d’etat to remove the Russian premiere in Ukraine at the time.

The role of the West and how it wants to topple Putin makes GCC leaders nervous and puts them in an awkward spot. The response from the Saudis is absolutely amazing. Its foreign minster said that what he requires from the Biden administration is help in offering “incentives” to Iran to enter into an agreement which not only secures peace but also makes Iran and KSA trading partners. The fact that they ask for that the day after Biden was in Israel banging on the war drum to keep the Israelis happy, who needed assurances that the U.S. would take military action against Iran in the event of Tehran developing nuclear weapons, is telling. The Saudis have moved on from the somewhat delusional idea that the west can strike Iran and win such a campaign there when many can still remember the humiliating defeat in Afghanistan against the Taliban. Hitting Iran is a fantasy which only the Israelis in...

We’ve Been Lied to Our Whole Lives About Everything That Matters
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Caitlin JOHNSTONE

Stories about protagonists who’ve been misguided their whole lives about something very important have been emerging in our culture for generations, and they continue to delight audiences in the box office to this day.

The pauper was really a prince. Luke was Darth Vader’s son. Keanu Reeves had been living in a computer simulation. Bruce Willis was really a ghost. Jim Carrey’s whole world was the set of a TV show, and everyone in his life had been lying to him since his infancy.

This theme repeats so often because it strongly resonates with people. And it strongly resonates with people because it’s exactly what is happening.

From our earliest moments we are trained to fit in with a society that was designed from the ground up by the powerful in the service of the powerful. As soon as we are old enough to get curious about the world and how it works our heads are filled with lies about such matters, by our education systems, by the media we consume, by our parents who were indoctrinated in the same way, and by the very culture we find ourselves immersed in from day one.

These stories about a character who’s been deceived about life resonate so strongly with us because on some level we all suspect it might be true of our own lives as well. They whisper to something hidden and sacred within us that has always sensed that there’s something not quite right with the way we are perceiving things.

We’ve spent our whole lives marinating in lies which serve the powerful. We’re deceived into believing that we live in a democracy whose government acts in accordance with the will of the voting public. We’re deceived into believing our political systems are driven by two warring ideological factions whose divisions are naturally occurring phenomena in our society instead of the product of deliberate social engineering. We’re deceived into believing our government is basically good, and that it stands in opposition to foreign governments who are pure evil. We’re deceived into believing the way things are is the only way they could possibly be.

We’re deceived into believing false things about the ways we gather information and form our understanding of the world. We’re deceived into believing the news media tell us the truth about what’s going on. We’re deceived into believing that everything we hear from our side of the political partisan divide is true and trustworthy. We’re deceived into believing the partisan filters which have been placed over our perception of national and world events by indoctrination are entirely reliable instruments for interpreting information and drawing conclusions.

We’re deceived into believing false things about ourselves. We’re deceived into believing that we are successful if we can become dominant capitalists and wealthy ladder climbers, and that we are failures if we don’t turn the gears of industry and climb over others to get ahead. We’re deceived into believing that we are good if we uphold the made-up, power-serving rules of law, of culture and of religion, and that we are bad if we transgress them. We are deceived into believing that we need to keep accomplishing, achieving and obtaining, that we need to keep earning money and approval, so that we might one day feel adequate at some imaginary point in a future which never arrives.

If we really commit to uprooting the untruth that’s been planted in us, we can even discover that we’ve been deceiving ourselves about the way we experience reality. That the perception of oneself as a finite character who is separate from the world is based on false assumptions about the way experience is happening, unhelpful mental habits born of i...
