2. Why Bother?
Reclaiming Power for Society Through Decentralized Freedom.
"All the power it [government] has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another; there is no other source from which State power can be drawn. Therefore every assumption of State power, whether by gift or seizure, leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can there be, any strengthening of State power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power."—Albert Jay Nock

Having realized the corrupt nature of “The Establishment” and their plans to micromanage our lives by weaponizing technology against us, I felt compelled to discuss the issues with both my friends and family.
To my utter dismay the universal response from both men and women was…
Yes, The Establishment is corrupt;
There is nothing I can do about it; and
I just want to live my life.
I couldn’t understand this wilful blindness.
My analogy: it’s as if someone you love is playing on railway tracks, you both see a train coming, you warn them, but they insist you leave them alone so they can live their life on the tracks, despite the oncoming train.
An absurd notion. I know. But seemingly accurate.
With this response, my only conclusion was my friends and family didn’t realize the scope of the threats we are all facing. But that wasn’t the answer. They know the train is coming because I’ve pointed it out to them often enough. They see it. But they just want to ignore it.
The threat remains but hope prevails.
I pondered this puzzle for some time, and then I came across The Iron Quill.
In addition to The Iron Quill’s brilliant writing style, one article galvanized and inspired my brain: “The Return of the Iron Spine: Why Masculine Men Must Rise Again in Canada.”
Like magic, all the missing pieces fell into place…
"Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
And, weak men create hard times.”
G. Michael Hopf
With the advent of the hippie movement, a countercultural phenomenon in the 1960s and early 1970, most of Western Civilization has been subjected to wave after wave of social engineering PsyOps designed to…
Emasculate;
Feminize;
Insult;
Demean; and
Infantilize men.
They did this by creating “good times,” and for the most part, Western men became weak. Hedonism became our philosophy and then our religion. Netflix; HBO; Prime; Disney; Crave; video games, sports fields; and sports arenas all became our new temples of worship.
As men, we have a historical and traditional obligation to defend our women, children, and old people. In this we are failing.
We are about to hit Hard Times and men are not qualified to deal with them. Will we scurry to safety like cockroaches and do as we are told. Or will we become men again?
The Establishment’s weaponization of NGOs and massive propaganda and indoctrination campaigns have promoted “Feminism” and the “trans-movement,” all at the expense of traditional families. The result, it has curtailed, if not destroyed, men’s obligation to protect the vulnerable.
After all, screaming harridans are not vulnerable.
Or are they?
So why bother?
It’s not in my personality to simply give up. The concept of living in a digital prison does not appeal to the legacy I want to leave behind for my kids. I have an obligation, as do all men, to fix the problem resulting from the apathy of millions of soft men.
In this respect, I’m looking to join or muster an army of Hard Men.
Having served in the Rhodesian Security Forces in the late 1970s, I understand the power of a “Guerrilla War” against a more powerful opponent. If we are to prevail in our fight against The Establishment, with all its wealth and power, it will not be with weapons of war.
No, instead, it will be with the power of The Iron Quill, The Iron Pen, and The Iron Keyboard” all wielded by Hard Men—Men of Iron.
And not only for men in Canada. Men in the US, Europe, Africa, and Asia also need to man-up and protect their women and children from criminal governments and corporations.
In my next article, I’ll explain how The Establishment destroyed the very fabric of society to take away the power of “We the People.”
