Violent offenders let off if they say sorry. Concern as community resolutions rise, with even those accused of knife and sex offences avoiding criminal record.

Appalling (Telegraph, £), but an utterly predictable consequence of the feminisation of the police force. Every profession which has become feminised has become more costly and less efficient and effective than before.

Over 147,000 people accused of offences in the year to March were given community resolutions, which don’t result in a criminal record. Elsewhere we learn that police have all but given up trying to stop shoplifters, with the obvious result that it’s becoming ever more common.

More than 147,000 people accused of offences including sex crimes, violence and weapons possession were given community resolutions in the year to March instead of being prosecuted. Such resolutions do not result in a criminal record.

Peter Alleman’s response to Gerry Alexander’s ICMI21 talk

Gerry Alexander’s ICMI talks have been among the highlights of ICMIs in recent years. They are:

ICMI20 – The Maturity Gender Gap (37:22)

ICMI21 – The Garden of Eve (42:50)

ICMI24 – Feminism’s Role in Population Control (49:07)

We’ve just published some comments on Gerry’s latest video from Peter Alleman, an American. It takes up the remainder of this blog piece:

“What a well-structured, thought-provoking presentation! Mr. Alexander has done a fine job of providing a detailed explanation — supplemented by references — for my own re-conceiving of feminism.

For many reasons, in the 1990s, I became involved in the men’s movement — and I even co-founded the Greater New York Chapter of the National Coalition For Men. Founded in 1977, NCFM is the largest general-issues men’s rights group in the U.S.A., if not the world. Its initial purpose was partly to address the mostly-ignored issues confronting men and boys and partly to provide a counter-narrative to the blaming-and-shaming tactics (and outright lies) of second wave feminism. One of the most worthwhile books I read on these topics was by a member of NCFM’s Board of Advisors, Warren Farrell: The Myth of Male Power (1993). Dr. Farrell supports his observations with documented evidence — not ideological theories — and much of his research continues to be valid today in the 21st century. Eventually, however, I realized that Dr. Farrell’s proposals for “what to do” about men’s issues (and how to respond to feminism) had little prospect for successful outcomes. The problem was much greater than I ever suspected (and one book that helped me understand this was Diana West’s American Betrayal (2013)).

The problem was not “misguided feminism” (as Christina Hoff Sommers calls it in her book The War Against Boys (2000)), but something much more sinister and destructive. If women and girls experienced issues that merited compassionate corrective action, The Powers That Shouldn’t Be had no real interest in ameliorating gender-specific problems that females experienced. Those powers cruelly sought to exacerbate those problems — and wreak destruction in the lives not only of the men and boys targeted for scoffing and ridiculing, but in the lives of girls and women as well.

Indeed, I eventually came to perceive feminism not so much as a social movement (whether misguided or not). I came to perceive the feminist movement as one of many facets of the overarching scheme by The Powers That Shouldn’t Be to demoralize people, to deny reality, and to tear down longstanding cultural institutions that have evolved over centuries.

Mainstream articles downplay the involvement of the C.I.A. in the advancement of second wave feminism (e.g., “Gloria Steinem and the CIA,” published in the 2/21/1967 edition of The New York Times). There might have been a time when I would have considered the C.I.A.’s involvement as inconsequential. Today, however, I suspect that it is highly significant, and I suspect that the feminist movement has been no more a “grassroots” movement than the present-day transgender movement.

I believe that Mr. Alexander is correct in his assessment of “the tendency of monopolists who start thinking about what’s best for the people”: the tendency is “to see themselves as superior to the people they say they’re trying to help.”

This tendency continues into the present, and there is abundant evidence that present-day monopolists — equipped with new technology — are deploying novel ways to promote depopulation and social control.

This is the argument of Oxford-educated David A. Hughes, Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Lincoln in England. It took Dr. Hughes three years to write a book about his research findings. It is called “Covid-19,” Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy: Volume 1, and it was published early this year. The book is triple-peer-reviewed and issued by a world-class academic publisher, Palgrave Macmillan.

Dr. Hughes (and others) regard the book as so important that Dr. Hughes was able to acquire a £16K grant (equivalent to a little over US$20K) to make PDF and EPUB versions legally downloadable for free. See: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-41850-1

William Collins: “A Gentleman’s Strike” (reflections on Stephen Baskerville’s ‘marriage strike’ proposal)

A lengthy but absorbing piece concerning the “marriage strike” proposal in Stephen Baskerville’s latest book (spoiler alert, it’s not the same as MGTOW). I’ve posted the following comments and fully expect many of the followers of this blog not to agree with them. Please feel free to comment, as always.

“Excellent, thanks! As the author of “The Fraud of the Rings” I’d like to point out that I wrote at some length in the book about the need for serious preparation for marriage. In my experience most couples give more thought to the wedding day than to the 70+ years that may follow it. Had I undertaken such preparations before my second marriage, I wouldn’t have married. With the benefit of hindsight, the marriage was never going to be a lengthy or happy one.

I would argue for comprehensive preparation for marriage, with an outsider being the sole judge of whether a couple’s marriage is likely to succeed, being pre-conditions for being handed a wedding licence. The divorce rate would fall like a stone.

Teachers will be trained to challenge ‘whiteness’ in schools

Appalling (Telegraph, £). Note that this was already well underway when the Conservatives were in power. An extract from the article:

“Teachers will be instructed in how to “disrupt the centrality of whiteness” in schools, according to a best-practice document.

The term “whiteness” in critical race theory refers to social attitudes considered normal by white people, and guidance suggests that concepts including “meritocracy”, “objectivity” and “individualism” should be questioned.”
