Coverture

By MRA-UK: I have opined previously that patriarchy, far from being oppression of women by men, was largely a piece of theatre, an illusion. By observing the formalities associated with a man being “master in his own house”, the man’s blushes were spared: no one need ever acknowledge his domestically subservient position, though everyone really knew. The law of coverture is generally regarded, especially by feminists, as a quintessentially patriarchal device. They are right – but only if we adopt the interpretation of patriarchy as illusion. Looking behind the smoke and mirrors of coverture into how it was interpreted in practice reveals that it too was really a façade of male power concealing a female power within.
I have drawn upon the following sources for the account which follows (which relates to the UK),

To Be Remembered

'No other countries whether Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or Hindu expect world leaders to subscribe to or worship their local religious symbols. But the Jewish State does. It is even brazen enough to dress world leaders in Yarmulkes.'

By ex-Jew Gilad Atzmon: George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States, died last Friday. President Bush was loved by the Jews. Over the weekend we saw an endless parade of Jewish individuals and organisations paying homage to Bush for his commitment to Israel and to the Jews.
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) described Bush as “a great friend of Israel, the Jewish people, and the RJC.” The group joined other Jewish voices in noting the work Bush did to help bring Jews from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia to Israel as well as his actions to help ensure the safety of Israel. Bush also led the effort in the UN to repeal the ‘Zionism is Racism’ resolution and he stood up against Saddam Hussein who, at the time, was one of the last Arab leaders to oppose Israel and Zionism.
Yet, it was the photo of Bush at the Wailing Wall (above) that grabbed my attention. On Saturday, the Israeli press circulated a photograph of the  41st president in suspiciously intimate proximity to the Wailing Wall.

Not Free To Choose

Max and Stacy discuss a Bloomberg piece asking if competition is dying and taking capitalism with it. The fact is that the top two companies in most industries control an increasing share of the market in the US and so Americans are no longer free to choose... and it shows. Walk into any hardware store - and 80% of the market is controlled by just two corporations - and it is a bleak landscape of bored employees unable to provide any information at all about the products they are selling. In the second half, Max continues his interview with Chris Martenson of PeakProsperity.com about Medicare4All, the economics of fracking, and thoughts from the precipice.

Yellow Revolution: Britain Involved With Europe's "Yellow Vest" Protests ~ Look For Government Agent Provocateurs

Authored by William Craddick: Europe’s powder keg is growing dangerously close to an explosion as unrest spreads from France to surrounding mainland nations. These protests are unified by many different factors such as dissatisfaction with mass migration and anger at economic failures blamed on President Emmanuel Macron. But most significantly, they are united by the use of yellow by those who have taken to the streets.
The “Yellow Vest” protests are in fact, a color revolution.
While color revolutions can morph into popular resistance movements, they are at their core professionally organized and instigated, sometimes at the state level. In the case of Europe’s Yellow Revolution, the big winner, and also one of the only states to avoid unrest, is Great Britain.

I. Understanding Color Revolutions

Color revolutions are a strategy of fomenting unrest within a country with the ultimate goal of removing the state’s current regime from power.

Truth Is What We Hide, Self-Serving Cover Stories Are What We Sell

"The fact that lies and cover stories are now the official norm only makes us love our servitude with greater devotion..."

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith: The fact that lies and cover stories are now the official norm only makes us love our servitude with greater devotion.
We can summarize the current era in one sentence: truth is what we hide, self-serving cover stories are what we sell. Jean-Claude Juncker's famous quote captures the essence of the era: "When it becomes serious, you have to lie."
And when does it become serious? When the hidden facts of the matter might be revealed to the general public. Given the regularity of vast troves of well-hidden data being made public by whistleblowers and white-hat hackers, it's basically serious all the time now, and hence the official default everywhere is: truth is what we hide, self-serving cover stories are what we sell.

After National Currency Rapist 'The Dark Lord' Soros Flees Turkey, Will He Flee The Rest Of The "Global South" Too?

"It’s still too early to say, but the tide might finally be turning against Soros in the 'Global South'..."

Authored by Andrew Korybko: Soros’ “Open Society Foundation” decided to leave Turkey.
The organization’s representatives said that it was due to the recent accusations that they’ve meddled in the country’s internal affairs, which is an allusion to President Erdogan’s claims last week about their involvement in the 2013 Gezi Park Color Revolution attempt and is ironically the group’s raison d’etre.
Truth be told, they’re making a responsible move after seeing the writing on the wall and calculating that a crackdown would be imminent if they don’t leave on their own volition, which works out to be a win-win for both their organization and the government. The “Open Society Foundation” can evacuate its foreign assets from the country and disband its public network, while the state doesn’t have to endure the weaponized infowar campaign that the Mainstream Media would predictably launch if Turkey undertook Russian-like measures to kick this organization out of the country.

Diagnosing Gynocentrism

'The gynocentric mobius strip is a readily observable social phenomenon.'

By Peter Ryan: When we discuss men’s issues in the manosphere, the term “gynocentrism” is often attributed as the primary causal factor driving the marginalisation of men and boys in society. Understanding the nature of the force men are fighting, is a critically important step in developing effective strategies and possible solutions to the numerous issues men and boys are facing in society. Peter Wright at Gynocentrism.com[1], defines and describes gynocentrism and discusses its cultural origins and biological underpinnings on his website.
Gynocentrism manifests itself in relationships and the culture in many ways. However, this is not always obvious. One of the powerful characteristics of gynocentrism, is how subtle it is and how easily gynocentric bigotry can be disguised and hidden from our perception. Society is complex and often there are a multitude of variables involved in any activity, practice or set of behaviours etc. Gynocentrism can blend in with these other variables and the complexity of society can help push it into the background of our perception.
The biological drivers of gynocentrism[2], also play a role in masking it from our perception. Gynocentrism is the product of superresponses to sexual and emotional superstimuli and these responses undoubtedly filter our perception, as well as produce the behaviours that give rise to gynocentrism.

'A Clockwork Macron' - Yellow Mayhem

By William Banzai7: The globalist misdirection in Europe seems to have been to lead the people to believe they are doing swell compared to the human squalor to be seen in the apparently "imaginary" no go zones"... Suddenly, that trick has lost its efficacy in a mass epiphany sparked by another grand misdirection: the urgent need for ordinary people to sacrifice their well-being to fight the evil scourge of global warming. They are running out of cardboard bogeymen.
Is Macron's Euro-Army meant to defend against the evil axis of China, Russia and the USSA (baloney), recover control of "no go zones" (not likely) or beat down the EURO-proles who are awakening?  A Clockwork Macron...

There Is Suddenly A Far Bigger European Problem Than Brexit Or Italy

Authord Michael Msika: Forget Brexit and Italian populists for a second. It’s worth paying attention to what’s going on in France.
For more than two weeks, the country has been disrupted by an unusual protest: the so-called “Gilets Jaunes” or “Yellow Vests.” France is used to labor unrest and chaos affecting transport of course, with strikes something of a national pastime.
But this time it’s different.
Some 100,000 people blocking toll roads, petrol stations and crossroads is creating major disruption to transport and retail. It’s also proving to be extremely tricky to defuse, as there’s no single protest leader to negotiate with.
