| The only threat left to our Rulers is domestic, and they well know it. Bin Badboy, Saddam, the Ayatollah, and all the rest are red herrings. Straw men. Only the Men�s Movement has the potential, and the moral legitimacy, to topple the Powers That Be. Only the Men's Movement can douse this House of Hades we call Home. Now, if I were heading up one of the black-ops projects of our Rulers � the foul get of COINTELPRO, CHAOS, and so forth -- what strategy would I employ to undermine the Men�s Movement? Overt violence? Hardly. That would only draw attention -- and converts -- to the cause. No. I would infiltrate upstart organizations with my spooks, and 'praps create new organizations that controlled dialogue within the Movement. I�d make sure that these outlets spouted fancy-sounding rhetoric, but remained firmly Establishment Right. Why? Because as the Sixties illustrated clearly, when human beings are faced with the stress of change � especially radical change � the vast majority of them ALWAYS revert to conservatism, to the Old Way. It�s a genetic marker in homo sapiens. It�s elementary human psychology, and if the Black Money Boys know anything, its the nooks of the human mind, the crannies of human behavior and desire. Kontrol is their middle name. Of course, I�d present these outlets as �open sites,� maintaining the illusion that a variety of opinions were welcomed. But in the main, and on the whole � whether calling itself Libertarianism or something else, I�d make damn sure that my writers and editorialists Toed The Line. Any advocated �change� would fall well within the System. And the System thus would swallow the Men�s Movement � and turn it into something oppressive and reactionary � in exactly the same way that the Civil Rights Movement, instead of bringing equality and liberation, brought instead mass entitlement, iniquity, identity politics, and the manifest and manifold evils of feminism. Thirty years hence, of course, my covert-ops unit would eventually be �unmasked.� A few newspapers would run some back-page stories about it, maybe a teevee newsmagazine or two would air a segment, and then � just like COINTELPRO -- the issue would fade from public consciousness, as �new threats,� manufactured by my own government, grabbed the headlines. We'd go to War with . . . oh, say . . . LIbya. Or Sierra Leone. Or North Dakota. And on would grind the Machine. And the chains upon men would remain fast. And I�d retire healthy and happy, live to a fine old age, and comfort myself with the lie that I Served My Country Honorably, protecting Her from the Evil Insurgency of those nasty, dirty, violent evildoers (males) who wanted change. Especially the Liberals. Are there covert government operatives in the Men�s Movement? Does the Pope wear a Pope-Hat? There are only a few spookies, actually. But it's the thought that counts! That�s not the worst of it, though. Far worse than the dirty tricks the Matriarky plays on us, are the dirty tricks men in the Movement are playing on one another. Wanna play the Old Primate Game, boys? The Alpha Dog Shuffle? Then settle in for ten more centuries of rule under WomenChurch, and under the Male Dronettes who serve it. Pull down yer britches and bend over. Thus our energies, as ever, are drawn off into useless ideo-political hucksterism and demagoguery, and into petulant empire-building. Men�s New Daily (MND) declares it wants to be the next Drudge Report. It pushes Warren (N.O.W.) Farrell and Glenn (Sad) Sacks, favorite sons of the Men�s Activism News Network (MANN). Men�s Issues Online (MIO) is a �supporter� of MANN, who�s a �partner� of Ifeminsts.com. Ifeminists.com is funded by the �Independent Institute,� a right-wing think-tank and cash-cow. Angryharry.com � once independent ideologically and politically � pops up on Men�s News Daily (MND) as a featured columnist, and suddenly he�s screeching about how all our problems are due to �Marxists� and �Liberals.� Huh? And here I though our Matriaky was our Mistress. Gee, who�d-a-thunk! The National Coalition of Free Men, L.A., links to MND and MANN. And NCFM�s mover/shakers are � whatta shock � the ubiquitous Warren Farrell and Glenn Sacks. And around and around She goes. And so on, as Mister Vonnegut used to opine. There�s more, lots more. I�ll spare you. Get the picture? All very cozy. And as insulated as an ovum in a doomsday bunker. Puh. Leeze. Cooperation is great,, guys. The soul o' manhood. But cronyism isn�t. |
