The other day a most interesting post was
made to our modest little guestbook/forum as follows:
First of all, congratulations on your site - your work
is admirable. Lately I have found on it one more piece of a puzzle
I have been trying to put together for years.
The basic question goes like this: why does it seem necessary for
the powers of the week to put down women to such an extent? An
urgent sub-question is: why is George W. Bush so hellbent on taking
away not only women's rights generally, especially reproductive
rights?
Now, we already know some of the rather self-evident answers: a
state oriented towards war and domination NEEDS babies, most of all
babies born from poor and uneducated families, in order to have a)
people willing to enlist in the army and b) cheap wage workers
– it will be very important to have a lot of them when
comes the time to remove unions and worker's rights. And you cannot
get a high birth rate in a society where women are free to choose
not to have babies. But then, that explanation is not
enough.
Why? Because Bush could have easily forced thousand of
underprivileged women and girls in unwanted motherhood with only a
fraction of the anti-women laws he enacted (over 300 and climbing
fast). Indeed, the plan seems to include if not all women, at least
a specific category – those who cannot find the father
of their children. Bush's last attacks were all about "spousal
notification". What this means is that a woman's uterus is now the
property of her husband/boyfriend and he gets to choose how the
rest of her life is going to be.
Now, let's think. Who gets an advantage from this? Rapists in human
form, of course, who get to spread around their DNA, and... who
else really, really wants to spread their DNA? Who else wants women
to have their babies regardless of the consequences? Did anybody
say "human-alien hybrid program?"
Seriously, let's imagine a scenario. Let's say that Jane Doe
becomes "mysteriously" pregnant, without any sexual contact - or
else she "remembers" an alien abduction, either on her own or with
hypnotherapy. If she is informed, she might very well want to opt
out. But then she had to not only find the father, but make him
sign a permission to get an abortion! There is a bunch of grays
& reptoids somewhere laughing their asses off.
But there has to be more to it. For example, why did Bush need to
so increase women's economic dependency on their partners? Between
cutting off or restricting welfare to single mothers and putting
them under high pressure to get married, taking away resources to
eliminate discrimination and violence against women, squeezing
battered women's shelters even tighter, and a hundred other vicious
attacks, there seems to be another reason than babies to persecute
women here. There are still a few puzzle pieces to find
– anybody seen them?
All in all, some MOST interesting thoughts and speculations, I
think. Then, today, there was another post from a woman victim of a
psychopath who wrote:
As I read "The psychopath: The mask of Sanity" web page, the
answers to all my questions came smashing into my face, ironically
the same way "my" psychopath smashed my face days before I left
him. All my unasnwered questions have all been answered. I knew he
was psychopathic the day I met him, I even told him that as often
as I could, but with the lack of knowledge I had of the disorder, I
suppose I overlooked the fact that this man SERIOUSLY WAS
PHYCOPATHIC. After 20 mintues of reading a year of wondering and
confusion seems to have subsided. I cannot thank you AND GOD for
bringing me to this page.
A question though, several times in the page it is commented that
the psycho will definitely leave you or "get rid" of you when he is
finnished with you. This, so far, is not my case. It has been 3
months since I left him, and he hasn't stopped stalking me, he
hired a private investigator to find me in the town I had been
hiding from him in. It has reached the point where I am just
beginning to involve the police; he has made hundreds of threats to
me in the past that if I do this, there will be severe consequences
(mostly violent and criminal retaliation).
Does anyone have or know of any information of psychopathic
stalkers, men that carry all psychopathic traits yet WONT GO
AWAY!!?? I want him out of my life and he says he wants to marry me
and he wants me to have his babies!?
Well, THAT gives me the shivers! Since it is generally agreed
nowadays that psychopathy is mostly genetic, this only adds data to
the problem presented by the first writer above.
In short, just now, women in the U.S. are in a very precarious
position. With the approval of Alito to the Supreme Court, there
are very dark days ahead indeed.
Now, I certainly appreciate the sensibilities of Christian women
who are against abortion. Heck, I don't like the idea of abortion
either. But we very often have to deal with things we don't LIKE
with reason and an ability to see ahead what is best for ALL
concerned, not just the selfish feelings of someone who likes or
doesn't like this or that.
Some years back I read an article about recently uncovered Nazi
"mercy killing" films. At the same time, there was quite a bit of
news about Romania's forced child-bearing program and the resultant
multitudes of unwanted, defective, and abandoned children. Both
sides have some pretty strong concerns for all of us to
consider.
The real issue boils down to: How and how much we value human
life?
A philosopher once said that those who forget history are doomed to
repeat it, so I think we need to consider the historical
perspective as well as the medical and political slants. There are
many wild claims being made by both sides -most of the information
currently publicized by both the print and electronic media
consists of non-issues. A non-issue is a smoke screen designed to
distract attention from the real issue. The real issue is, as
stated: How and how much do we value human life?
The Nazis made films designed to justify elimination of certain
groups of human beings - those considered "morally or socially
feeble-minded". This ultimately led to the near annihilation of an
entire group of people based upon their ethnic and/or religious
backgrounds. Here, I would like to mention that the MAIN group the
Nazis were intent on destroying seem to have been the Polish Slavs.
The Jews were included, certainly, but the preponderance of
evidence points to the Poles being a primary target.
That issue aside, I want to point out that justifying the killing
of anyone because they are, or may be, "socially unfit" is a
dangerous path to tread. The Nazis were not the first to do this -
only the most publicized of recent times. Nowadays, ironically, it
is the Zionists who are justifying the annihilation of the
Palestinians.
In their propaganda "mercy killing" films, the Nazis sought to
justify "mercy killing" as more "humane" and noble. Now, this is
not "assisted suicide" by a long shot. This is taking human beings
who may have disabilities and executing them. Children with
conditions such as Down's Syndrome, Spina bifida, various birth
defects and results of neo-natal damages and so on. They also
sought to justify the "mercy killing" of individuals who had
suffered accidents and were subsequently unable to function
normally. That meant that if your child or sibling or parent or
mate suffered the misfortune of disability due to accident, they
were to be summarily executed whether or not there was any full
mental function or not.
Nearly every family I have ever known has had a member with either
a birth defect or who has suffered an accident that left them
disabled in some way. In my own family, there was my cousin June,
who was in an auto accident that left her a quadriplegic. It was a
great tragedy, but June's brain was not destroyed. She continued to
love and be loved and there was value to her life.
Certainly, when we begin to think about killing unwanted members of
society, it is a dangerous precedent that can go way too far in the
wrong hands.
In the case of abortion rights activists, the unborn child is not
given status as a human being. It is called by them variously a
lump of tissue, a fetus, whatever. This is rather odd since, from
way back, the laws applying to animal husbandry have given status
and value to unborn pigs, cattle and birds! At the same time, I
don't think that laws applying to animal husbandry ever gave any
rights to the sow as to whether or not she wants to be used as a
breeder to create more pork.
But the issue here is subtle: Is a potential functioning human less
than a pig or a chicken? To reject that endowment‚ is
to set a dangerous precedent. It would be a simple step further to
reject the right to life for a woman who is morally or socially
"feeble-minded" because she "chooses abortion as ameans of family
planning". It would be just too easy to progress from unwanted
children to defective children, to non-contributing old people, to
unemployed or unproductive members of society. And, lest anyone
think this is an absurd line of thought in these modern times, let
me remind you that Germany was an industrialized and modern society
too - but they had a lot of financial and political problems -just
as we do today.
Obviously, we don't want to deny the the status of the unborn as
potentially viable human beings. Too many pitfalls on that
path.
But then, we come up against the rights of women as not just
"potentially viable human beings," but fully viable. Women have
been pretty much second and third-class citizens - if they have
been citizens at all - for literally thousands of years. So this
whole thing is a raw issue with a group of human beings consisting
of roughly half of thehuman race.
A woman should never, EVER, be forced to bear a child against her
will. An unwanted child is a burden on its mother, and usually
becomesa burden on society. All rhetoric aside, the fact is that
there are millions of unwanted human beings. We have institutions
of all kinds full of them. Some few - vanishingly rare - make it in
life due to the luck of being adopted or just luck alone. Most
don't.
On the one hand we have the rights of a group of helpless
individuals - the unborn; and on the other hand we have the rights
of another group of helpless individuals -women who are pregnant
and who do not wish to be.
Which is the greater wrong? To force a woman to endure pregnancy
and childbirth against her will , or to take the potential life of
an unborn child. A hard choice. Women are being sold out by both
sides.
Certainly we must value Potential Life or Realized Life loses its
meaning. As women we cannot and must not, denigrate the tremendous
power and creativity we possess by devaluing its ultimate
expression - our children. As human beings we cannot and must not
allow ourselves to be devalued by perceiving ourselves as
victimized by an accident of Nature.
Seems to me that the REAL choice we need to be able to make is to
NOT EVER GET PREGNANT AGAINST OUR WILL!
And boy, is that a tough one! There is Rape and Incest and
Accidents! No woman should have to bear a child that is the result
of violence or accident! Women are being controlled by Violence and
Ignorance. Abortion itself is a violent, invasive act. By whatever
means, it disrupts a physiological course of events with
ramifications as yet not fully investigated or documented by
medical science. How do we know there is not some serious
repercussion in our bodies down the road as a result of such
interference in natural functions.
It seems to me that women need to really think about this and come
together on the one issue that can unite us: dealing with violence
and ignorance in our society. Remember, we are more than half the
population, and we COULD exert our power to reach and educate every
single female in this country -teach them esteem for themselves,
their creativity, their power - teach them to esteem all life -
teach them the power of true choice - the choice to Not Get
Pregnant Against our will!
Women need to join together - all of us - and demonstrate true love
and concern for ourselves, our children and each other. We must
advertise and campaign; we must get out in the community; we must
make birth control available to all and the knowledge of true
choice a priority. We must defuse this whole subject as a political
issue -for that gives our power away to men of violence who use it
to either make experiments of us, set us up to create precedents
for more death and destruction, or conversely, make baby factories
out of us so that they can use the product of our creativity for
more wars and violence. We must not allow our bodies or the bodies
of our children to become grist for the mill of mostly male
politicians.
Make no mistake - the product of conception is a human being if
only in potential. We are not really being allowed to choose when
we must so demean ourselves and the ultimate creative ability of
women by being given the horror of a choice between fulfilling our
individual potential in life and killing our children.
How Much Do We Value Life? So much that even potential life is
precious. How do we do it? By truly valuing ourselves and not being
forced into choices that are no choices at all.
In the meantime, until such a world exists, we still have difficult
choices to make, and we must make them and learn from them. A woman
who lives and breathes and functions in this world is "realized"
life. An unborn child is only potential. The realized life has
precedental rights over the potential life. It can be thought of as
similar to the laws of primogeniture, certain rights are
established as having superior claims because of "prior existence".
In that context and that context alone can the issue be debated
legally. And it ought to be debated by women ONLY.
I don't like the idea of abortion at all, but it is a necessary
evil in an evil world controlled by psychopaths. I like even less
the idea of men telling women that they are little more than cattle
that must be bred and produce offspring for more violence and human
evil. I think that if the Christian women who are so vehemently
anti-abortion had more education and less religion and brainwashing
by the priests of their rapacious male-dominator God, it would be a
good thing. How many of them are being used as breeders for
psychopaths?
That leads, of course, to a whole other issue: Are psychopaths
human? And if there is good reason to believe that a woman is
pregnant with the child of a psychopath whether willingly or
otherwise, ought she be required to have an abortion?
Again, only women should debate these things, and only women with
the knowledge of as many sides of the issue as possible. "Faith"
has no place in such debates. We address this subject in numerous places on our website, but here's the short
version from my book The Secret History of The World:
I don't think that one single person on this planet
will disagree that they want a better life for themselves and their
children; and most of them will add that they do not presently have
the capacity to make it a reality. Except for a very small minority
of very sick people, I don't think anybody really likes to see
misery and suffering, disease and death and despair, in any
context. And again we must ask: if these things are so detestable
to human beings at large, if so many people are working and
thinking and praying to improve the conditions of our world, why
isnÂ’t it happening?
Seekers of Spiritual Verity - a large number of whom could be
considered "Intelligentsia" - are always aware of these things, and
they are asking, "What is the origin of all the misery and
suffering? Does it just happen? Do people and only people cause
others to suffer? Is it that God is good, but allows bad things to
happen?"
"DonÂ’t forget the power of prayer," we are told by our
religious leaders, or "positive thinking," as the New Age gurus
tell us. The only problem is, prayers and positive thinking do not
seem to have improved the world very much on the occasions when it
is certain that nearly every human being was praying for a certain
outcome.
Jesus promised: "If any two of you shall agree and ask... it shall
be done." (Matt 18:19) That's a promise. What do you want or need?
Just ask!
But it doesn't work and we see it!
Over sixty million people died because God didnÂ’t do
what everybody thought he should do. C.S. Lewis struggled with this
issue in the latter part of his life. He saw clearly that, before
World War II, practically every human being on the planet was
praying to Jesus, God the Father, the Virgin Mary, Allah, Buddha
and whoever else you can name or mention, so all the bases were
covered that this terrible thing would not happen. The memory of
the previous "Great War" was still fresh in the mind of mankind.
They remembered the horrible carnage and vowed, never again!
In the end, after the mightiest cry of prayer in human memory,
rising from the earth, almost one-third of the world was
uninhabitable and sixty-five million human beings were dead. Are we
to think that this was GodÂ’s answer to prayer? It
certainly doesnÂ’t give us much hope for the
“power of positive thinking.
Think about it.
Throughout history we find one group praying to their god to
protect them from the depredations of another group. The other
group is praying just as fervently that their predations will be
successful. When one group succeeds in killing another, is that
proof that its god is supreme? What then happens if the members of
the successful group are then reincarnated into the group that was
defeated? This is not a rhetorical question since a very
interesting book was written about the great numbers of Jews who
died in the holocaust now being reincarnated as Christians. There
has also been some suggestion that many Nazis are now being
reincarnated as Jews. What then, does such an idea do to the
concept of "my god is the only right one?" [See: Gershom, Yonassan,
Rabbi, Beyond the Ashes (Virginia Beach: A.R.E. Press
1992]
Science
is revealing, little by little, that psychopaths are NOT
precisely human. They are a statistical aberration. And when they
increase in the population, only tragedy results. That is science.
Religion that does not consider the scientific evidence has no
place in such a debate. If you like, "God gave us minds to think
with and facts to think about, what we do with it is up to us.
That's free will. If we choose to ignore what God teaches us
through science, we have no one to blame but ourselves." And God is
teaching us a lot but we don't seem to be getting it. I think She
may be getting impatient with humanity's persistent
ignorance.
The bottom line is: Women need to be more cautious than ever in
this present day when violence is increasing exponentially, and
laws that violate the rights of women more than ever are very
possibly in our future. Getting pregnant without your free will
choice now may bring on horrible difficulties. We need to educate
the young ones as fast as possible, and that is going to be
difficult since we are working against so much propaganda and
religious disinformation. As over half of the population on this
planet, if we can't pull together and get over what we "like" and
"don't like" based on emotions or belief, then there is no hope.
Let me quote again from The Secret History of The World:
I suspected something was wrong with the "facts of
life" as they were presented to me when I was a kid. Sure, I then
spent a little over thirty years trying to be "normal" and make
that square peg fit the round hole, "looking for a reason to
believe." But then there was a memorable day when I finally grew up
and admitted that maybe - just maybe - the Emperor was naked. And
here it is, over twenty years later, and now - well, now I know
that not only is something rotten in Denmark, I also know there is
a dead elephant in the middle of the collective global living room
and I can never NOT see it again.
During that twenty plus years of uncovering that huge, dead critter
that occupies a central place in our reality, I was driven by the
idea that I just wanted to know what was REALLY going on in this
strange world I lived in where, on the one hand, science was moving
so fast that we would soon be able to destroy our planet, while on
the other hand, the varied religions were telling us not to worry,
God was probably gonna destroy it for us and we had better believe
in the "right god" or we were toast.
How can a person live in a world where "the End of the World" is
being predicted every minute? That's crazy!
But darned if that isn't what just about every religion on the
planet talks about!
You go to church, get scared to death in an hour and a half, warned
about hellfire and damnation, and then they pass the plate so that
you can pay the high priests to put in a good word for you with God
so that maybe you won't suffer as much as that jerk down the street
who goes to a different church! And even if you do suffer here on
earth, if you believe hard enough, and prove it by putting your
money where your faith is, at least youÂ’ll get your
reward in paradise.
This was back in 1982 when I had three small children. As a mother,
I wanted to know what to teach my children. I knew that what I had
been taught to believe was frightening. I had grown up in a time
when children were regularly taught what to do in case of an atomic
bomb attack - Cuba was only 90 miles from Florida where I was born
- and at the same time, the standard religious teaching of my
family - mainstream Protestants - promoted the “suffer
on Earth to get rewarded in Heaven” routine.
I knew I had certainly suffered from the state of the world and the
teachings of my faith. I really, REALLY wanted to know if this was
something that I should pass on to my children.
When I held my babies and rocked them or looked into their sweet,
innocent faces - untroubled by the concerns of the world around,
certain that Mother would make them safe - I had to ask myself "How
can I tell them these things?" How can I "break it to them" that
this world into which they have been born is so frightening and
uncertain and full of traps that not only are their lives in
constant danger, their very souls may be in
peril?”
How could I tell that to my children???
If it was true, I HAD to tell them.
But what if it wasnÂ’t true?
WHAT IF IT WASN'T TRUE?
I knew one thing and one thing only: I wanted more than anything in
the world to tell my children the truth, to prepare them for
whatever might lie ahead of them in their lives. And the question
burned inside me: What if I told those little beings who I loved
more than my own life a LIE? What kind of a mother would I be? What
kind of "Mother Love" is that?
That's the only thing that is going to save us: TRUE MOTHER
LOVE.
