The Misandric Makers Of TV Drama

From Little Big Lies to Broadchurch and Doctor Foster to Fearless, why do the makers of TV dramas hate men?
By Amanda Platell: The captivating TV drama Liar tackles one of the most contentious issues of our age - sexual consent.
When it started I thought ITV might break new ground by telling the story of a false rape claim and how it ruins a man's life.
Liar begins after loopy schoolteacher Laura (Joanne Froggatt) breaks up amicably with her long-term partner and goes on her first date with widowed heart surgeon Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd).
She flirts, he responds. She's needy, he's feeling needed. They end up back at her place kissing, both having drunk several large glasses of wine.
Cut to the next morning, Laura wakes alone and decides she has been raped. The police are called and Andrew's life falls apart as he protests his innocence.
But which one of them is the liar?
This week we found out. And the answer was, predictably, the man. It turned out the doctor had not only spiked Laura's drink with a drug before raping her, he had done the same to his wife's best friend, driving his wife to suicide.

Is Population Decline Catastrophic?

In the 1970’s we heard the earth was going to get so crowded we’d be falling off. Now the panickers have flipped to population decline. They were wrong in the 70’s, so are they wrong again? Is a declining population catastrophic?
Countries from Germany to Japan are investing in mass immigration or pro-birth policies on the assumption that they must import enough warm bodies to stave off economic collapse. I think this is mistaken. Falling population on a country level is certainly no catastrophe and, indeed, may be positive. I’ll outline some reasons here.
Historically, the first question is why population declined. If it’s the Mongols invading again then, yes, the economy will suffer. Not because of the death alone, but because wholesale slaughter tends to destroy productive capital as well.
On the other hand, if the population is declining from non-war, we have a well-studied natural experiment in the Black Plague. Which is generally credited with the “take-off” of the West. Because if the population declines by a third while capital including arable land stays the same, you get a surplus. Same resources divided by fewer people.

Apparently, We Need More Women In Comedy

Israel Lobby Destroyed Americans’ First Amendment Rights!

'Hats off to Israel for outwitting the dumbshit Americans and taking over their foreign policy.'
By Paul Craig Roberts: The Israel Lobby has shown its power over Americans’ perceptions and ability to exercise free speech via its influence in media, entertainment and ability to block university tenure appointments, such as those of Norman Finkelstein and Steven Salaita. Indeed, the power of the Israel Lobby is today so widely recognized and feared that editors, producers, and tenure committees anticipate the lobby’s objections in advance and avoid writers, subjects, and professors judged unacceptable to the lobby.
The latest example is The American Conservative’s firing of former CIA officer Philip Giraldi. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/47942.htm Giraldi wrote an article for the Unz Review about Israel’s influence over American foreign policy in the Middle East. http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/americas-jews-are-driving-americas-wars/ The article didn’t say anything that the Israeli newspaper Haaretz hadn’t said already. The editor of The American Conservative, where Giraldi had been a contributor for a decade and a half, was terrified that the magazine was associated with a critic of Israel and quickly terminated the relationship. Such abject cowardice as the editor of The American Conservative showed is a true measure of the power of the Israel Lobby.
Meny seasoned experts believe that without the influence of the Israel Lobby, particularly as exerted by the Jewish Neo-Con-Artists, the United States would not have been at war in the Middle East and North Africa for the last 16 years.

Jimmy Carter Explains What North Korean Leaders Told Him

By Stephen Lendman: The neo-con-artist/CIA-connected Washington Post gave him feature op-ed space to discuss one of the vital issues of our time – the urgency of avoiding another Korean war, potentially with nuclear weapons, devastating the peninsula and beyond if used, Carter saying: 
The strong possibility of another Korean war…is the most serious existing threat to world peace, and it is imperative that Pyongyang and Washington find some way to ease the escalating tension and reach a lasting, peaceful agreement.” 
True enough, the problem lying squarely in Washington, not Pyongyang, for decades wanting normalized relations with America and the West.
Carter met earlier with Kim Il-sung (North Korea’s founder), Kim Jong-nam (his eldest son and successor), and president of the Presidium of the Supreme Peoples Assembly.
He found them and other DPRK officials completely rational and dedicated to the preservation of their country. They’re not madmen, as falsely portrayed by US and other Western hardliners. Their demands are entirely legitimate, Carter explaining they want direct talks with Washington, a peace treaty ending decades of an uneasy armistice.

The Rising Of Britain's 'New [Misandrist PC] Politics'?

'A [Man Hating] Corbyn government will "immediately recognise the state of Palestine"'
By John Pilger: Delegates to the recent Labour Party conference in the English seaside town of Brighton seemed not to notice a video playing in the main entrance.  The world's third biggest arms manufacturer, BAE Systems, supplier to Saudi Arabia, was promoting its guns, bombs, missiles, naval ships and fighter aircraft.
It seemed a perfidious symbol of a party in which millions of Britons now invest their political hopes. Once the preserve of Tony Blair, it is now led by Jeremy Corbyn, whose career has been very different and is rare in British establishment politics.

Man Loses Damages Claim Against IVF Clinic Over Forged Consent

Via David, J4MB: This, extracts: 

A wealthy businessman has failed in his attempt to recover damages from a private IVF clinic, despite a court ruling that his former partner forged his signature to conceive their daughter by the procedure.
In a potentially far-reaching judgment at the high court in London on Friday, Mr Justice Jay ruled that IVF Hammersmith had failed in its obligation to ensure consent from both parties, but crucially found the clinic was not negligent and did not have to meet the costs of caring for the man’s daughter. But the man had been morally vindicated, said the judge.
Jay said the claim had failed due to public policy, which currently stipulates that parents could not be compensated for the birth of a healthy child…

Being In Time In Seattle

Gilad Atzmon: How did America manage to dismiss the prophecy of Henry Ford and Richard Herrnstein? In this talk Gilad Atzmon attempts to identify the core elements that led to the current dystopia: ID Politics, tyranny of correctness, New Left's biologism, Cultural Marxism and more. This event had to be relocated at the last minute because an anonymous caller –we are told- cited ADL links that attack Gilad Atzmon. Filmed by Ed Mays

My Anti-Feminist Agenda

'What the feminists really seem to have
forgotten is that men are equal to us.'
By Belinda Brown: The BBC, the most potent weapon in the hands of the femocracy, is at it again with 100 Women. We hear the drone of predictable platitudes about how women can change the world in a month or a week or whatever it takes.
And indeed they are changing the world. They are destroying our families, our ways of political representation, they are robbing us of our health, happiness and children and they are making things much, much worse.
Feminism is rotting the warp and weft of society and feminism must be fought.
I could just do battle with the slogans.
No, diversity is not necessarily a blessing in the workplace – actually it can be a bit of a curse. And when it does help, this is the diversity of different perspectives, and different abilities; not a difference of sex.

Insights From Nature

Independent Man: "To point out the plethora of scientific evidence on sex differences is to invite the denials from the gender ideologues who insist differences are socialized. We are victims of gender stereotypes, internalized misogyny and the dreaded patriarchy."
