Men’s activists indicate that we live in a social structure that reserves many special rights and privileges for women and none for men. Perhaps the most obvious example is the female’s exemption from compulsory military service and dangerous combat, a practice common in even the most egalitarian-minded societies and which most people,myself included, accept and support. “Equal rights” are simply not desirable in many instances, because most people want women to have the privilege of protection. My question then becomes, what compensating rights, privileges, or special treatment do men deserve?

The work of anthropologists Robin Fox and Lionel Tiger may help answer this question. They vividly describe the social structure of primates in The Imperial Animal, which in their view is essentially a system for ensuring the success of a breeding group. They maintain that this basic structure, with important modifications, persists and will always persist in humans: alpha males in the middle, surrounded by all the females and young males, and all the other adult males on the fringes. The alpha males lead, resolve disputes, breed with their choice of females, and work together to maintain their position. The adult females demand help with their young from the alpha males, acquaint their male offspring with the alpha males as a means of promoting them, and ward off (or occasionally run off with) other adult males. They are always protected from invaders, and strive for access to the alphas males. On the fringes, the non-alpha males provide defense from predators, challenge the alpha males in dramatic ways, and occasionally partake in liaisons with adult females.

What makes this system stable is the attention paid to the alpha males; indeed, without a patriarch or set of patriarchs, the primal group dissolves completely. The demands on the patriarch can be so onerous that some find they don’t like it and wander off, either tolead a solitary life or one with the other non-alpha males. Unless a new adult male takes over the role, a group without a patriarch scatters, and each of the pieces joins up with another group that does have male leadership.

The natural human system is similar an many respects. The often-heard adage that “If you look at those who hold a lot of power in society, you’ll find they’re almost all men” is a true statement, and the “If…” part is emblematic of the primal tendency to ignore marginal males such as military conscripts, workplace fatalities, the homeless,and so forth, while star-struck by the high-status guys. The term “male-centered culture” as well reflects the invisibility of those in the outer circle. The “old-boys” network is real, and exclusive; just as real but less recognized are the challenges involved in maintainingmembership such as enduring harassment by the females, challenges by younger males, a lack of privacy, and so forth.

In this system, there is no mechanism of patriarchs promoting or caring for lesser males. In fact, lesser adult males mostly constitute a threat to the patriarchs. Lesser males must usurp authority; they are not given it. This is another reason besides the undesirability of”equal rights” that petitioning the power structure for relief from injustices against males is unlikely to succeed.

Of course, we are not exactly like apes. Fox and Tiger mention a few characteristics of humans which distinguish them from the other primates, with the supposition that these changes were necessary for survival: people make deals to share food and resources, men play an important part in raising the young, and as men began hunting together male bonding evolved. All men were eligible to participate in the hunt.

Because men so easily and routinely bond with each other, as only the alpha males do in the primal system, I believe men have a capacity for the role of patriarch to a much greater degree than the other primates. However, a limited number of positions can ever be available in large human groupings, and usually involve stiff competition. Until recently, the family offered most men a means of expression for their primal tendency to lead, resolve disputes, reproduce, help raise the young, take responsibility for defense, and so on.

In The Decline of Males, Tiger says we are devolving into the primal system with the human modifications greatly diminished. This comes as a result of industrialization, which causes individuals to act as independent contractors, instead of an integral part of society. The devolution consists of men living increasingly on the fringes offamily and political life, and marginalized to the point that they must sneak around to engage in male bonding. Today family courts routinely drive men away from their families and out of their homes. Laws and institutional rules increasingly disallow normal male behavior, and cries to ban an all-male golf club fall on many a sympathetic ear. In my workplace, the only time men seem to spend together is their lunch hour playing cards in the corner of the cafeteria. Men’s activism against these recent changes often takes a strident, revolutionary tone, underscoring their place on the fringe.

Based on these facts, I suggest the set of compensating rights, privileges, and special treatment that men can fairly claim for themselves is the legitimate position of patriarch. This position includes responsibility and authority to provide for and protect womenand children, to raise girls to be capable women and boys to be capable men, and to coach each other actively in their performance of the role. As Elder George states frequently, “Men provide the environment and means that enable women to bring forth life and nurture it.”

If the baboons can do it, why can’t we?

Why support and join Men’s Action to Rebuild Society? What do we have that could benefit you? What do we offer to make your investment of time, talent, and treasure worthwhile? These reasonable and natural questions warrant answers and this article will explain some of the benefits that will accrue to you by becoming a part of this organization.

Men’s Action offers hope. It offers hope for a better life.

It offers hope of escape from loneliness caused by the destruction of the family. It offers hope to rebuild the family. It offers hope to redevelop a sense of belongingness that can only come from family involvement.

Our government has created laws that suppress manhood, destroy family, confuse and corrupt womanhood, and neglect children. The result is a collective sense of loneliness that has created national anxiety. Men’s Action offers hope for a better life.

Our government has enacted laws that control every aspect of our lives, which it maintains by increased methods of surveillance of our every action. No one likes to feel watched; it infringes on our freedom of expression and our dignity as an individual. Men’s action offers escape from government control. It offers hope for a better life.

Men’s Action offers a release from the bondage of frustration, self-loathing, and impotence that has been thrust upon us by a grossly materialistic government that looks upon people as objects instead of as divine beings. This materialistic government measures the well being of the populace by gross domestic product; not ethics, mental stability or spiritual development. It looks upon people as automaton consumers instead of spiritual entities.

The mission statement of Men’s Action calls for a more natural way of life, a life that you were designed to live. It calls for a return to natural values. It offer’s hope for individual freedom and collective action. It offers hope for the relief of material striving.

Men’s Action offers hope for a safe and secure society brought about by high moral standards, not surveillance cameras. It offers hope for a society in which responsibility, obligation, and consideration substitute for “rights” that only the government can bestow and enforce.

Men’s Action strives to restore human dignity, respect for elders, and relief from the meaninglessness of material values. It aims for increased self-control of our lives and includes the development of relative self-sufficiency.

Men’s Action will re-establish patriarchy (the natural rule of men) among its members and all who want it and can handle it. Just as the Sun provides the environment and means for the Earth to nurture us, men must provide the environment and means for women to bring forth life and nurture it. The practice of women delivering children for the government to control must end. That is a European, feminine, materialistic practice that is destroying the world. Children belong to the family and tribe, not to an impersonal uncaring materialistic and hedonistic state.

Men’s Action provides hope to those men who have had their children taken from them through no wrongdoing of their own. It offers hope to men placed in prison by family courts, to men who no longer can see their children, and to men who have been bankrupted by a self-serving and corrupt judicial system.

Men’s Action believes the only way to return to a natural family oriented and spiritual way of life is to work outside of the system that has suppressed it. Men’s Action will motivate men to be in touch with their natural manhood so that they can stand up and say with conviction, I AM A MAN, I AM A REAL MAN. When men can do that then women will be able to say I AM AWOMAN, I AM A REAL WOMAN. Then we will have strong families, secure individuals, and the morals and structure that will provide the environment for spiritual growth.

Men’s Action offers hope for a better life. Read our mission statement and the articles on our website. Hear our podcasts and see our streaming videos. Men’s Action to Rebuild Society offers hope for a better life and the means to attain it.

We look forward to your response.

One of our readers indicated that my viewpoint concerning gender was close to right, but that I needed to address conspiracies, especially the master conspiracy run by the Zionists. He also sent me the link below, an audio of a talk delivered by Darrel Bradford Smith of the French Connection.

http://www.iamthewitness.com/audio/TFC.2007.10.07.Sun.Smith.mp3

Before addressing the conspiracies in general and Darrel’s view in particular, I will first present a basic principle to the operation of the universe, and that is the great law of cause and effect, which is a manifestation of gender in action. Nothing in this universe just happens. There are no accidents. Every event that occurs comes about as a result of a cause. The seen event is the responsive feminine principle; the unseen cause is the masculine principle. The law of cause and effect is not a theory; it is a spiritual truism, which has been described colloquially through the ages as whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

A boulder does not just happen to fall down from a mountain, clouds do not just happen to form, earthquakes do not just happen. To all movement there is always a cause. We do not happen to get sick, nor do we happen to be involved in an accident. Causes are always responsible for what we see happening.

Now I will address conspiracies in general. People have conspired to do shady, unlawful, self-serving activities since the beginning of time. These conspiracies can consist of one person, small groups, organizations, businesses and/or governments. The sinking of the Lusitania resulted from a deliberate provocation designed to get the Unites Sates into war. Nothing happened at the Gulf of Tonkien, and as we all know weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq nor did we find any collusion between Hussein and Ben Laden. Regarding 9/11, I am not convinced that a commercial jet airliner crashed into the Pentagon.

All of the above illustrate the effects of conspiracies of some sort; however, to blame these events and scores of others on a single organization stretches not only the imagination, but credulity as well. To say that the Illuminati, Bilderbergers, Jesuits, communists, Trilateralists, and a host of other organizations work together under the direction of Zionists to conspire against humankind would be a very difficult supposition to prove. However, to say that they are all of European derivation is easy to prove, and that is the point that the conspiracy theorists gloss over because they do not understand its significance.

Europe represents the feminine principle and is grossly materialistic. It works for the benefit of self and has no understanding of the unseen; it even suppresses all knowledge of the unseen. Its achievements are materialistic and consist primarily of the rearranging of matter. Such a society will of itself naturally devolve into chaos. It always does. Any grouping will always have its leaders, administrators, and powerful personages, but to say that they are the cause of the degeneracy is to not understand matters spiritual or human nature. If all the communists, feminists, Illuminati, Zionists, and etc. were to disappear this very night, they would spring up anew in the morning.

As Darrel explained at the conclusion of his talk we have to get back to the basics, and what are the basics to him? Is it a return to patriarchy, the natural structure of the universe that maintains a balance between the masculine and feminine influences? No, not at all. Instead, he wants to get back to the constitution, and the materialistic life that spawned and fed into the gross materialism that is behind all the conspiracies. In the narrow paradigm of the European, feminine, materialistic, aristocratic thinking he cannot imagine that there is another way of life other than the one he knows. This is the curse of the European male, he creates governments that strip him of his own power and then devolve into debauchery and societies without standards that eventually collapse. From the beginnings of European thought to the present, every society created in Europe went through the same cycle.

This is the significance of the words of Jesus when upon the cross he said, “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He was addressing a society that had bathed in the gross materialism of Greco-Roman thought for centuries and was unable to grasp the spiritual light that he sowed among them.

So with all the conspiracy theorists, whether right or wrong, the issue is not the activities of those who conspire, for they are all effects of the feminine, materialistic, aristocratic thinking that spawned them. Men’s Action deals in causes not effects. It understands that when you walk in the light the darkness cannot harm you; when you walk in truth ignorance has no sway over you. The light and the truth are that patriarchy provides the societal structure that provides for the propagation and preservation of the species that enables it to grow spiritually.

I told the reader who sent this to me that I would worry about the conspirators when they raise their heads against me. He said they already have. I had spoken without reflection. As Men’s Action grows, let the conspirators worry about us.

My brothers do not concern yourselves with the world of materialism and the effect that it is. You are men and have the ability to understand the unseen. Live that portion of the unseen that has been made known to you. That’s being A REAL MAN.

THE YOKE OF SLAVERY DESCENDS UPON US

In my article Withdrawal Symptoms I wrote, “A conspiracy film that I saw recently contained the statement that the way to enslave people is to get them to want to be enslaved.” As luck would have it a current example of this viewpoint came from the Mayor of New York during his visit to London in which he admired the use of surveillance cameras all over the city. He stated, “We live in a dangerous world, and people want to have security cameras.”

Let’s focus on the significance of this statement. We have the government, which has taken over the responsibility of the male to care for the safety of women, children, and the tribe, telling the people what is good for their protection and then getting them to want it. And for doubters such as myself he states, “It’s ridiculous, people who object to the use of technology.” “The MTA just has to get us this technology. Americans are too exposed and there are some people who don’t like cameras, but the alternatives could be worse.” That’s it Mayor Bloomberg, scare the people into wanting to be enslaved.

The MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) will indeed get us this technology and we will become grateful for another arm of government enslaving us even further.

Another aspect of this onrush to our enslavement that requires our awareness is that we have not been asked, but have been told what we want and what will be done to fulfill that want. Very few laws come about as a result of asking the voter anything. I wasn’t asked if I wanted daylight savings time extended, or if 2.6 million condoms should be distributed to our school children, or about any other law that I have to obey. Governments enact laws as they see fit and only the power of lobbyists on one side or the other can alter these laws before enactment. The removal of manly power results in his enslavement by the state. Women do not realize this truism. Their focus is on security, and since most of them no longer have a man in the house, whether a father or a husband, they welcome any security system offered by the government, the very instrument that emasculated the male and made the female clamor for security.

You don’t have much time in which to act my brothers. The complete control of your life by the government is close at hand. The yoke of slavery is descending upon you. Once it happens, the ability to break out will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Do you intend to sit on the fence until it happens, or are you ready to stand up and do something about it now?

You know where we are.

I came across an Internet article indicating that some men would give up sex before giving up their opportunity to blog. That same day I scanned a magazine article in which the CEO of a company asked the question, “Who doesn’t own a computer, Blackberry, ipod, and cell phone?” He stated that America is becoming increasingly “wired in.” That seems true to me, and if people are removed from their “wired in” position they exhibit withdrawal symptoms.

When mensnewsdaily.com altered its format resulting in less blogging activity, I detected withdrawal symptoms on the part of many of the subscribers. Some searched for and found other blogging venues; however, most still appear to be going through withdrawal symptoms. What do they miss; chitchat about things that no one does anything about? That’s gossip. The wiring in of America makes it increasingly docile and manipulated. It facilitates control of the user and inhibits his ability to make change. The average American not only willing accedes to this control but desires it and thinks he has a right to own these gadgets that will enslave him.

A conspiracy film that I saw recently contained the statement that the way to enslave people is to get them to want to be enslaved. “Wiring in” America enslaves the mind of its people; and yet they clamor to be more “wired in.”.

Don’t give in to the withdrawal symptoms, break away from the urge to blog and start taking steps to promote Men’s Action; it will free you from the enslaving influence of blogging—a cyberspace version of gossip. One of our members sent me an E-mail stating that he isn’t so busy now that he severed all his links to MND. He stated, “I’m much happier now. I guess all those negative comments depressed me.”

Gossip fatigues and depresses men; it is not compatible with the male psyche, which communicates for the purpose of passing on information that ultimately leads to action. Few venues offer men the opportunity to be assertive and make change. Most jobs stifle assertiveness. Spectator sports have become a vast arena of make-believe manhood and entertainment that affords people another opportunity to get “wired in.”

Unhook yourselves from the “wired in” conditions. Disconnect from the enslaving progress of gossip and no action. Spread the message of Men’s Action. You will feel better and you will be serving others.

Last Saturday I sat next to a young African-American woman on the subway who was reading a book. I struck up a conversation with her and eventually sold her my book. Below is a copy of an E-mail I received from her:

Hello Elder George,

If you run into me on the train again you will see me reading your book. I am enjoying it very much and learning a lot. It was a pleasure meeting you and when I am done with the book I’ll let you know my opinion of it. Although you wrote it 15 years ago the issues are timeless. At this point I can see why your message has a strong influence on the black community as well as how it is relevant to any community. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,

There are millions of people thirsting for our message and they are grateful to those who bring it to them. When you carry the message to them you will be active instead of passive and you will be helping others.

Continue to withdraw from the “wired in” state and do not relapse. Preach and share the word with others in the flesh. Get out of the cyber world and into the real world. Talk to your brothers and sisters and create a following. They await our message. Giving it to them enables you to act freely and influence the world around you.

The extensive use of the phrase “I’m going to” serves as another indicator of the feminization of men in our society. With increasing frequency I hear men say I’m going to: attend a meeting, give you a call, by a book, write an article, write a book, change jobs, do this and do that; but nothing happens. This inability to do occurs at the local level in politics, among non-profit organizations, and religious organizations as well. As a nation we work very hard on our assigned tasks as jackasses and she-asses on the treadmill of production, but other than that we seem unable to fulfill our desires, promises, and obligations to get anything done. Instead we talk about it.

Women talked about things and men changed things, that is, until the age of women’s liberation evolved. Now everybody talks while the government does things, and even the government does less and less while it controls more and more. The masculine sounding term blogging serves as a vehicle for men to engage in gossip, but not as a vehicle to do or accomplish anything. Chitchat has supplanted action and has become widely accepted among men, as they become noun oriented instead of verb oriented. They talk about the things they have rather than about what they have done. Even the phrase “I’m going to” contains a conjugation of the “to be” verb, which is a non-action verb.

Most American men no longer have the capability to live out their manhood due to a combination of many factors. Many have had tyrant mothers (see chapter XII in my book), most received coed educations presided over by women who taught a female- oriented curricula. A feminine value structure dominated what they were exposed to on television, the movies, the written media, and the workplace. Men have become neutered; they have become incapable of action, and herein lay the problems of society.

It is with compassion that I address this issue, but not with an attitude of acceptance, but rather with the hope for change. Men’s Action to Rebuild society has a four-step program. First, is the recruitment of men, which is the stage that we are in now. Second, these men need motivation to action, but because of their emasculated state, they must first receive empowerment training, which will be done through various seminars and various types of training made available only to members after we incorporate. Third, we must rebuild the family, which will lead to the final goal, the rebuilding of society.

I realize that many men suffer inwardly at their inability to make outward changes, and would like to participate, if only they could. They need to develop courage, which is the ability to do what one is fearful of doing. The manifestation of courage serves as the first step in breaking out of the prison of inaction. Take that first step to make change, no matter how small it is, then after that more and larger steps will follow. Remember always, that you are a man, there is no greater power on the face of this earth than the masculine principle, and it resides in you.

I hope soon to be writing in Men’s Action News about the steps you have taken to increase our membership as part of your participation in step one of our program. Just do it. You will find that no one else is doing anything, which will make what you are doing look gigantic. Do you want to be an actor on the stage of life or a reactor? Do you want to act as a REAL MAN, or are you content to act like a weak-kneed milksop? The choice is yours. You can take the first step.

In closing I post below for your consideration a sign that I have hanging over my desk.

DO IT

DO IT RIGHT

DO IT NOW

DO IT RIGHT NOW

DO IT

The statement “I’m busy” permeates our society. Radio and television interviews will invariably elicit the “I’m busy” statement, as will newspaper and magazine commentary. Support groups and self help businesses strive to assist people in coping with busy. “I’m busy” accounts for a lack of sleep, nervous tension, depression, and psychiatric care.

In the midst of all of this “I’m busy” living I decided to share with you the knowledge that I am not busy. I have never been busy, nor will I ever be busy. I am a man and I control my environment. Busy is a condition that I deal with; I do not become it.

“I’m busy” comes from the kitchen. Women are responsive, accommodating, and adaptable; they become their environment. Mom is busy don’t go in the kitchen, mom is irritable don’t talk to her, mom is late don’t bother her. Mom becomes her environment. She becomes the clothes she wears. She also becomes caring, joyful and passionate, which we will come back to later.

Now that women have permeated the work force “I’m busy” has permeated its language. Also, since most children are raised in an environment with a minimal masculine presence they pick up the language and mannerisms of the kitchen. They make excuses for their performance. They were busy. Even more, they now return calls and take action when they are ready rather than when it is appropriate. They act like a woman being courted rather than as a man fulfilling his obligations.

All my life I have returned calls within 24 hours at the latest, and I still do. A few months ago I severed my relationship with a 27-year-old man who was taking care of my computer because he was always “busy.” It’s not that he wouldn’t come and do the work, but he always responded late, didn’t answer his messages, and then when I would see him he would indicate “something came up.” That phrase “something came up” has been in the female vocabulary as long as I can remember. They are always responding to what comes up—a natural activity for them. What is not natural is for a man to become his environment.

The feminine principle is responsive, that’s why we check the weather every day—to see what kind of mood mother earth is in. We don’t have to check sunrise everyday—that has been calculated for the year. The Sun is constant; mother earth is inconstant. If the Sun were to become inconstant the solar system would break up. If men become inconstant society breaks up. Have you noticed?

It is one thing to understand that patriarchy is the natural way of life and another to live it. It is one thing to say, I AM A REAL MAN, and to live it. Being a man starts on the inside. You are a center of consciousness around which your world revolves. When you change the inside the outside will respond accordingly. When I lived in Harlem a song I heard sung in the churches was “Working on the inside, changing on the outside.” Those words contain a great spiritual truth.

You can’t get by with just saying you’re a man—you have to act like one. You have to be dependable, constant, reliable, considerate, and respectful. When you do that then you will find women will be caring, joyful and passionate with you. Mother’s milk flows freely when she is safe and secure. A woman can only feel secure with you if you conduct yourself in a manner to make her feel that way—firm, yet caring.

You don’t have to go to a foreign country to get a good woman; all that you have to do is act like a real man here. I will grant you that most American women are spoiled, but if you want to find out who spoiled them look in the mirror. When you change the image in the mirror you will start unspoiling the women.

The reason I have prepared male Enlightenment and Empowerment seminars is to wash away the feminine habits that our men have acquired and replace it with their natural masculine attributes.

In your relationship with men your word has to be your bond. Women make excuses; men give reasons and there are few reasons that hold up to the WILL to accomplish. Today’s society subscribes to the philosophy that if a fly shits on a railroad track, the train stops. That philosophy has no place in Men’s Action or among real men.

In my solicitation of members, I look for quality, not quantity. I look to build a core group of real men who will train the quantity of people who will join next year. Those men who conduct themselves as real men will want to associate with their peers. Men’s Action to Rebuild Society is a place for this association.

Yesterday (Sept. 9th) I became aware of the resignation of Dr. Stephen Baskerville as President of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children (ACFC), an organization that I had little familiarity with although I was aware of the activities of Dr. Baskerville.

The reasons that Dr. Baskerville gave in his letter of resignation tie in strongly with the message of Men’s Action and I will address their basis.

He stated, “I have heard complaints that ACFC has become a “do-nothing” organization, that its efforts are half-hearted and inept, and that some of its actions are actually counter productive. Ambitious projects and grandiose schemes are conceived and launched but never completed. Promises of major change are offered, but the changes never materialize.”

“ACFC seems to be pervaded by a “can’t do” rather than a “can do” culture. It seems there is always a reason we cannot do something, always some excuse for not taking action, for not completing some project we have begun, some reason we cannot assist or work alongside some other organization who has offered to work with us, some reason for failure. And in the end nothing is done and failure is the result.”

“At the same time, a culture of unrealistic self-congratulations has developed, with inflated and overly-optimistic reports about the increases in our membership and revenues, when no such increases have occurred. At some point we must ask, what precisely are we doing with $100,000 a year?”

He points out that there are:

Conferences no one attends; press conferences with no one from the press; demonstrations at which no one shows up; and failure upon failure, with no effort to assess why.

The above contains a smattering of the dissatisfaction contained in Dr. Baskerville’s letter of resignation. If we go through each of the paragraphs quoted from him above we will note that they describe an aspect of the feminine principle or a lack of the masculine principle. The assertive influence of the universe is the masculine principle; without it there will be promises to do, but no accomplishment.

Also, ACFC had no philosophical message that people could identify with and rally around; it dealt with effects, which the feminine principle responds to, but it cannot initiate causes. The feminine principle is aristocratic, and in true Western fashion ACFC could not imagine that the solution to the problems that it created could come from a source outside of itself. Probably 5 billion of the earth’s 6.5 billion people were raised in a patriarchal structure that contained low rates of divorce, adultery, mental illness, incarceration, foster children, and suicide. To recognize that perhaps their way of family life was better than ours is like asking a woman to admit that she was wrong.

Dr. Baskerville’s description of his dissatisfaction with ACFC applies to all so-called men’s movements; they are crumbling, as is society in general. In the article Who Wants to See Change that I wrote just yesterday I stated the following, “All institutions suffer from the malaise of vacuousness and impotence resulting from the emasculation of the American male.” That is exactly what has happened to ACFC and all men’s movements.

I want to make clear that I find no fault with the intent of ACFC, it members, Dr. Baskerville or any of the other multitudinous organizations and their activities that have failed to stem the tide of the destruction of the family. In general the people that participated in these organizations were dedicated and altruistic; however, they have never determined a cause of their problem and therefore never arrived at a remedy.

The alternative to the men’s movements-all of which are in a state of demise-is Men’s Action to Rebuild Society. We have a mission statement. We have a philosophy that can be reduced to simple terms: family is the focal point of society and patriarchy is family. That’s easy isn’t it?

The difficulty lies in under standing this on a subjective level, which is why I push my book and information booklets. It is my hope that reading my book and booklets will stimulate within the reader a subjective understanding of the importance of gender in society and his or her role in establishing and supporting the family.

You who are still sitting on the fence have two options and one choice. You can hope the government is going to change things for you (that same government that created this mess), or you can join with other men and bring about change yourselves.

I hope that your decision is the latter and that I will hear from you

In soliciting support for change the people to approach are those who want change. That sounds so simple that many of you are probably saying to yourselves, “I know that.” If we all know that, then why do we ask the government to make this change when they are the ones who created the issues we want changed? Why do we go to the political parties from which the government draws its members? Why do we go to the media who support the government and political parties? Why do we go to community organizations, religious institutions, schools, and various non-profits all of which in some way depend on government influence, direction and/or intervention?

Every institution knows that its philosophy is right and superior to that of others whether or not they are religious, racial, political, or ethnic. Their paramount activity is the preservation of their fiefdoms and their allegiance is to the liege lords who grant and support their institutions. All institutions suffer from the malaise of vacuousness and impotence resulting from the emasculation of the American male.

In starting this article I referred to the “people” to approach. That’s who we must approach-people-not institutions. Like-minded people who desire change, who crave it.
Those who feel stifled, suppressed, frustrated, lonely, impotent, bored, rejected, and disaffected will respond to a message of hope and change. The disaffected are found in all walks of life and most often fall into the following categories: the poor, misfits, minorities, outcasts, adolescent youth, the ambitious, the bored, and the sinners. To this standard group of potential revolutionaries we can add the divorced; those who have lost custody of their children; and those unjustly imprisoned for false allegations of rape, sexual harassment, and child abuse; and those who clearly understand that there is a difference between the sexes.

The people who are least likely to desire to make change consist of those who have done reasonably well in society such as the professional class, and those who exist on the dole. The former feel that the system provided the environment and means for their success and the later feel that the system provides for their financial survival. The conservatism of the destitute is as profound as the conservatism of the privileged, and they both resist change.

The inferior elements of society (and more and more of us are falling into that category) have no reverence for the present and its history and are most prone to support change. Let us not forget that it was the inferior elements of Europe that came and built this nation. It is the inferior elements of the Hispanic population that immigrate to this nation today in the hopes of building a better tomorrow.

Speaking of hope, that is the main ingredient of our offering. Hope for a better life. Hope for the renewal of the self. Hope for a Utopia of some sort.

As a classification, non-Western immigrants and American born Blacks-people who have a cultural history of extended family and the patriarchal structure necessary to maintain it-are most receptive to our message. They want to hear our message and they will rally to support it if they believe we represent a viable organization of dedicated people.

We must offer people an alternative to what they have. We must offer them a means to return to a society in which family is its focal point and where men have authority. We must welcome them into our ranks with open arms. There is no one offering that message or the opportunity for others to become a part of change.

Before we can go out and solicit others with zeal and conviction we must develop Men’s Action into a compact viable organization with the ability to absorb and integrate all who would support us.

A newborn child begins his cubist journey through Western society when he is placed in a cube called a nursery. The child leaves the hospital in another cube called a car, which brings him to another cube called a home, in which he will be brought to another cube called the baby’s room. Everything that the child does and sees occurs in a cube. His parents take him out in the family cube called a car and bring him to other cubes such as stores, offices, and restaurants. When he starts school he is picked up in a cube called the school bus that drops him off at a large cube called a school, where he goes into a smaller cube called the classroom. As he gets older he travels in other cubes such as subways and railroads to go to other cubes such as the movies, or to visit someone. All his learning takes place in a cube, and when he finishes school and seeks a job it might be in a big cube called an office building or a factory, where he might work in a little cube called a cubicle. If the child grew up in the city or even suburbia, he had very little exposure to life outside the cube. On those occasions when he spent time outside of the cube he probably couldn’t assimilate what he saw because his senses hadn’t been developed to respond to non-cube influences.

The cubist environment has a devastating effect on the functioning of those raised in it, and essentially conforms to the results of environmental tests done on cats to determine the effect of early environment on their sensory perception. Kittens in one group were raised in a room that only had vertical objects and vertical lines on the walls; kittens in the second group were raised in a room that only had horizontal objects and horizontal lines on the walls, and kittens in the third group were raised in a room with no objects and with walls painted a solid color. When let out of their rooms upon reaching adulthood the first group bumped into horizontal objects, the second group into vertical objects, and the third group bumped into everything because they could discern nothing. These tests explain why people who were born blind and had their sight restored cannot distinguish a circle from a square without holding it in their hands; they have not yet developed the visual ability to distinguish between the two shapes.

The effects of early environment upon cognitive ability became apparent in the ghetto area of Chicago during the civil rights movement of the 60’s where most first grade American born black children could not comprehend a story about a train trip to visit grandma who lived in a house by the lake. The children were considered to have low IQ’s until some thinking person made the observation that these children had never seen a lake, never ridden on the railroad, and grandma was someone who lived with them or did not exist. The first grade story book had no relevancy to the environment in which the children had been raised, as the circle and the square had no relevancy to the visual acuity of the blind man, and as the cats could not discern what they had not been exposed to as kittens.

The effect of early environment on ability to function in later environments is understood by behaviorists and sociologists, but there seems to be a complete lack of understanding about the difference between a natural and an un-natural environment, and for good reason. Behaviorists and sociologists along with their colleagues in other disciplines are cubists; they have been removed from what is natural and their thinking is conditioned by what they learned inside the cube.

Cubes do not occur in nature, nor do straight lines and flat surfaces, nor do single colors and monochromatic hues, nor do monotones. Forests have vegetation composed of all shades of green that grow on bushes or trees that have all shades of brown up to black, and have stones and rocks around them with a full spectrum of coloring. Light intensity continually varies due to the movement of the trees in the wind and the clouds in the sky, and the sounds of the forest come in various pitches and intensities. The forest floor has irregular shapes and densities. The forest is a pulsating, gender motivated, natural environment; God created it.

The environment of the cube differs completely form that of the forest. The cube is usually painted in one solid color, the fluorescent bulbs provide constant intensity lighting, the floor is flat and of one density; and the sounds whether coming form the air conditioner, fan, or radio tend to be of one pitch or of extreme dissonance. The cube is a static, genderless, unnatural environment-man created it.

Cubists know a lot about the workings of cars, planes, stereos, computers, cell phones, and videos; however, they do not know the name of the tree that brushes against the window of their cube, or the bird that sits in its branches. Cubists think they are smart, modern, and enlightened and view people who live outside of the cube as primitive and ignorant. They do no realize that those who dwell outside the cube live a more natural and spiritual life that keeps them healthier and happier.
