Salve, Mater Salvatoris: Honoring The Great Woman In Medieval Europe

By Author Douglas Galbi: In twelfth-century Europe, Christians were intensely devoted to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Within “a prevailing climate of fevered Marianism,” the Christ of Christianity, like so many other men, became merely a nominal leading figure:

the cult of the Virgin had assumed such proportions and evoked so much fervour that the figure of the Mother Of Christ began to eclipse that of her Son {Jesus} and of all the apostles and saints. It might seem almost true to say that, in the later Middle Ages, the central object of the popular cult was in actual fact the Virgin Mary, exalted to the rank of Queen of Heaven, crowned with the twelve stars, and invested with all those human and tender attributes in which the early Church had first clothed the figure of the Saviour. [1]

Adam of Saint Victor’s early twelfth-century liturgical hymn (sequence) “Hail, O mother of our Savior {Salve, mater Salvatoris}” exemplifies intense devotion to Mary and its implications for men.

Divide And Conquer

'Elementary rights, such as the freedom to think openly, have been eradicated and replaced by a strict regime of correctness.'

By Gilad Atzmon: I am not even remotely a Trump supporter,  but I do think that he has managed to expose the spectrum of western political morbidity, both left and right. Trump is the ultimate Post Political icon -- the symptom as well as the disease.

For the last four decades, the West has been subjected to an intense cultural and social revolution. The cause of ‘social justice’ has made some fundamental changes in western society.  Elementary rights, such as the freedom to think openly, have been eradicated and replaced by a strict regime of correctness. In retrospect, it was reasonable to believe that there was little significant resistance to these social justice heroes. During that time, it seemed that their agenda had prevailed. Just five years ago it looked as if the Tyranny of Correctness was here to stay. But then, unexpectedly, the tide changed.

Marijuana Federalism Won In The 2018 Midterms

“I think he [President Trump] is going to legalize marijuana”

Authored by Brian Darling: While the nation was gripped by House, Senate and governor races, there was another important contest on the ballot in Tuesday’s midterms related to the future of adult-use and medical-use marijuana. With several ballot initiatives in states that would liberalize laws on marijuana, it was a great day for the idea of federalism in marijuana laws.

Federalism is a core value of America. It is the idea that states, not the federal government, hold powers that are not specifically enumerated to the feds. Police powers have traditionally resided in states and with local officials, yet the federal government has slowly creeped into the law enforcement business when it comes to all forms of crime.
The history of marijuana regulation started with states outlawing the drug early last century, before the issue was federalized with passage of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1970.

Men’s Day: London Plans

By Elizabeth Hobson: “Why are men afraid? They live in a culture which terrorises them. They live in a culture which demonises them and which hides this under all kinds of pseudo-respectable and ‘toleration’ based ideologies… This is intentional. This is a constructed part of our culture – to demonise men and to banish men and to make men obsolescent… We are constantly being pummeled with images and ideas of men which destroy our sense of masculinity… It’s amazing how a trope can be adopted… I defy any of you to think of the word ‘masculinity’ without the word toxic coming one or other side of it, like a Google search. This is what they’ve done.” said John Waters in his opening speech at The Battle of Ideas debate, ‘Is masculinity toxic for boys?’, in 2016.
You may not have heard of John Waters, the Irish journalist and author (and champion of father’s rights and masculine values) but he is unequivocally one of the most compelling, and most challenging voices in the Men’s Human Rights Movement

China - Big Trade War Loser?

Max and Stacy discuss Marshall Auerback’s assessment of Trump’s trade war. The fact is that China is, so far anyway, the big loser. It is much easier as the hollowed out, high deficit nation has everything to gain while the export nation had millions of jobs and expensive factories to lose. In the second half, Max interviews Mitch Feierstein of PlanetPonzi.com about the plunge in tech shares and rising interest rates.

Ralph Murphy, Brett Kavanaugh And The Automatic Outgroup Derogation Of Men

By Jewel Eldora: The last two articles attempted to demonstrate how Blue Church and Red Church news outlets differently exploit group biases against men.
The Blue Church sees the role of government as complexity manager. They focus on the teenaged mothers with children in the caravan. They also call on male college students and immigrants to emulate the women in the elevators outside the U.S. Senate Chambers. One could imagine how two immigrant men raising their voices and blocking a senator may end differently.
The Red Church, also exploits the caravan’s perceived criminal impact on women and children.  Similarly, The Red Church spreads Keith Ellison’s affiliations with Minnesota based male terrorist organization, Antifa, while subtly alluding to his past public support of the Nation of Islam, another male-centric organization.
Both sides exploit the automatic out-group status of men, they just follow different patterns. They point at these biases against men, because, these news outlets are trying to sell shoes and maintain control of the government.
Another area of the media where we might find automatic outgroup bias would be in the $40B songwriting and music publishing industry.

Adam Of Saint Victor And Le Tumbeor Nostre Dame

By Author Douglas Galbi: In the more liberal and less repressive circumstances of medieval Europe, men understood that they could serve women with their bodies as well as their minds. Medieval men had poignant examples of both types of woman-serving. Early in twelfth-century Paris, Adam of Saint Victor composed rhythmic Latin hymns to honor Mary, the mother of Jesus. About a century later, a tumbler engaged in vigorous physical activity to please Mary. Men deserve freedom to engage in one, both, or neither of these forms of woman-serving while at the same time having their own intrinsic human dignity and worth respected and appreciated. Deeply devoted to Mary, Adam of Saint Victor directed his extraordinary literary skills to honoring her. According to a story preserved in a text written early in the thirteenth century, Mary herself acknowledged Adam’s intellectual effort:

The venerable Master Adam, canon of Saint Victor’s in Paris, was composing the sequence Salve mater Salvatoris. When he had just written another strophe of rhythmic poetry, namely:

‘Ridiculous’ Misandric National Trust Stunt Puts Plastic Bags And White Sheets Over Artworks Depicting Men - To ‘Promote Women’

By Robin Perrie: A National Trust exhibition was rapped after paintings and statues depicting men were covered up to promote women.

The artworks were draped in white sheets and plastic bags to mark the centenary of some women getting the vote.

The aim was to highlight their role but visitors to Cragside in Rothbury, Northumberland, were not happy. One man, from Cramlington, Northumberland, said: “It’s just ridiculous. They were covered up in room after room. Statues had white bags over them. “People were complaining and as baffled as I was.”

"I’m not happy with the National Trust using art to push a message' that 'the only way to put women forward is to put men backwards" A visitor Commented.

The Problem Of Excessive Empathy And Low Expectations

"When push came to shove and they're all feminist now, when the chance came to lead their great party, when the chance came to fight an election where they might actually become Prime Minister of this country they chickened out. That's what feminism does to you." 
Said Edwina Currie.

Venaloid: In a nutshell, it seems as though many people have simultaneously lowered their expectations, and increased their empathy, to the point where nothing is anyone's fault, and no one can be reasonably expected to deal with the unfairness in their lives.

What Empire Loyalists Are Really Saying When They Bash Julian Assange

There is no more despicable, sniveling waste of space on this earth than someone who attacks the powerless on behalf of the powerful.

By Caitlin Johnstone: Wired has just published what might be the single most brazenly dishonest and manipulative piece of down-punching empire smut that I have ever read. An article by Virginia Heffernan titled “The Real Houseguest of the Ecuadorian Embassy” revolves around the outright lie that Julian Assange is suing the Ecuadorian government because he doesn’t feel like cleaning up after his cat and maintaining basic hygiene in the embassy he’s been confined to since 2012. In reality, the legal case arose from the fact that despite being granted political asylum for his journalism, Assange has for months been cut off from the world and forbidden to practice journalism by the new government of Ecuador, and would remain unable to practice journalism under the new conditions Quito recently imposed upon him.

"A Slow And Cruel Assassination In The Heart Of London" - Assange's Mother

RT: The mother of WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange fears her son is in “immediate and critical danger” after spending nearly six years in limbo inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where his health has sharply deteriorated.

As fears for Assange’s health have grown, his mother Christine spoke about how her son is undergoing a “slow and cruel assassination” in an online vigil dubbed #ReconnectJulian on Saturday.
“The modern-day cage for political prisoners is no longer the Tower of London, it is the Ecuadorian Embassy,” she said,
