“I Put It To You, M’lud, That You Are A Dimbo Who Is Wrong To Trash Traditional Families”

...Title quote, Rod Liddle to Lord Justice James Munby.

'How did Munby happen? That’s the real question.
How did we end up with a boss of the family courts
who wants the family abolished?'

Via Mike Buchanan, J4MB: A piece in yesterday’s Sunday Times:

A little under 10 years ago Earl Spencer was unfortunate enough to be involved in a divorce case presided over by Lord Justice James Munby. The experience rankled his barrister, Sir Nicholas Mostyn, who afterwards told the earl, with some pride, that a sow on his farm had given birth to seven piglets, and that they would be named James, Munby, Self-regarding, Pompous, Publicity, Seeking and Pillock.
And really, I can’t improve on that as a description of the man.
Munby has, somehow, become Britain’s most senior family court judge. In an address at Liverpool University two weeks ago he delivered himself of the opinion that the traditional family was toast and we should welcome its passing. We should “applaud” its demise. And, his three chins wobbling with emotion, he said the new reality was single-parent families, same-sex families, adoptive families, children conceived by artificial insemination or via surrogacy.

Cuckolds Don’t Question; Just Listen, Believe And Are Duped

By Author Douglas Galbi: Enlightened medieval thinkers didn’t teach men to just listen and believe. They instructed men to question and investigate. That’s how objective knowledge is generated. Men who questioned and investigated created almost all the machinery of modern civilization. Men who just listened and believed, in contrast, often produced nothing and became cuckolds.
Consider the case of a husband in a small, remote town in Italy early in the fifteenth century. He caught his wife in the act of having sex with another man. Probably drawing upon experiential knowledge passed down across generations of women, she responded strongly and decisively to being exposed as an adulteress:

she instantly pretended to be half-dead and threw herself onto the ground, as if she were dead.
{ illa statim se semimortuam simulavit, prosternens se ad terram, similis defunctae. }

Most persons don’t die by instantly throwing themselves on the ground and pretending to be half-dead.

A Feminist Asks: Why Can’t We Hate Men?

'Another feminist gift to the MHRM'

By Elizabeth Hobson: In a classic (archived) piece of feminist propaganda, Suzanna Danuta Walters has proposed that hatred of men as a class is a legitimate perspective. As vile a read as her Washington Post article is, it’s really another feminist gift to us, as the opposition. Writing on such a heinous level in such a prestigious and widely-read publication can only serve to further alienate the non-feminist sector from feminism and potentially flick the activation switch in some of these individuals who will be prompted to take a stance.
Robert Brockway has published an open letter to the president of the university where Ms Danuta Walters is a professor of sociology and director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program.

Putin: Trump’s Tariffs 'Sanctions' Teach Europe A Lesson

By Anton Troianovski: As he watches Europe’s confrontation with President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be enjoying an “I told you so” moment.

European leaders long ignored his warnings about the dangers of a world dominated by the United States, Mr. Putin said Thursday during his nationally broadcast annual call-in show. With Trump’s new metals tariffs, Mr. Putin said, Europeans are now finally getting their comeuppance for showing excessive deference to Washington - and getting a taste of the way the United States had long treated Russia.

“In essence, these are sanctions,” Mr. Putin said of the tariffs. “What, did they ‘annex Crimea,‘ as many of our partners say?”

Mr. Putin went on: “Our partners probably thought that these counterproductive policies would never affect them. . . . No one wanted to listen, and no one wanted to do anything to stop these tendencies. Here we are.”

One of the show’s hosts responded, “They got what they deserved.”

Volodin Breaks Through The Diplomatic Isolation Of Russia

Saker: After the international economic forum that was held in St. Petersburg, only the finished Russophobes continue to think that Russia is in isolation.

Not Interested ‘Conservative’ Shakespeare, ‘Dead White Men’

Mary Bousted, head of the UK’s largest teaching union, slams school reading lists

By Mike Buchanan: Appalling. The start of the piece:

The head of the UK’s largest teaching union has warned that plans to move towards a ‘knowledge-based’ curriculum risks “hurtling” England into the past.

Dismissing plans for a traditional, academic curriculum as outdated, National Education Union (NEU) joint general secretary Mary Bousted argued the importance of including “identity”-focused figures to inspire people from minority groups.

Delivering a speech at Bryanston Education Summit, she said: “As an English teacher, I have no problem with Shakespeare, with Pope, with Dryden, with Shelley.
“But I knew in a school where there are 38 first languages taught other than English that I had to have Afro-Caribbean writers in that curriculum, I had to have Indian writers, I had to have Chinese writers to enable pupils to foreshadow their lives in the curriculum.”
According to Bousted, whose union represents more than 500,000 education workers, teachers should be focused on developing skills like “resilience” in pupils rather than engaging them with great works of literature, because the literary canon is conservative and too white.
“If a powerful knowledge curriculum means recreating the best that has been thought by dead, white men — then I’m not very interested in it,”

Israel Completely Owns America - We Are A Subject People

Israel’s Attack on the USS Liberty:

A Half Century Later, Still No Justice

By Jeffrey St. Clair: In early June of 1967, at the onset of the Six Day War, the Pentagon sent the USS Liberty from Spain into international waters off the coast of Gaza to monitor the progress of Israel’s attack on the Arab states. The Liberty was a lightly armed surveillance ship.
Only hours after the Liberty arrived it was spotted by the Israeli military. The IDF sent out reconnaissance planes to identify the ship. They made eight trips over a period of three hours. The Liberty was flying a large US flag and was easily recognizable as an American vessel.
Soon more planes came. These were Israeli Mirage III fighters, armed with rockets and machine guns. As off-duty officers sunbathed on the deck, the fighters opened fire on the defenseless ship with rockets and machine guns.
A few minutes later a second wave of planes streaked overhead, French-built Mystere jets, which not only pelted the ship with gunfire but also with napalm bomblets, coating the deck with the flaming jelly. By now, the Liberty was on fire and dozens were wounded and killed, excluding several of the ship’s top officers.
The Liberty’s radio team tried to issue a distress call, but discovered the frequencies had been jammed by the Israeli planes with what one communications specialist called “a buzzsaw sound.”

The Myth Of 'Golden State'

In the second half, Max interviews Jeff Berwick of Anarchapulco.com about the reasons for EOS and what the free market might determine as a new protocol is introduced to the cryptocurrency space.
