The Head of the Medusa — Chapter 11: The sacrificial male, and "weapons" for men

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, gave Perseus his own winged sandals and the sickle that Chronos had used to overthrow Uranus to enable him to slay the Medusa. Hades gave him a helmet that would make him invisible.

Men are beginning to communicate in a way they never could before. The Internet has provided the vehicle for this communication. Their attempts to organize and support each other have been stumblings in cyberspace, but they have made tremendous progress. They are learning to walk together and soon they will learn to march together in invisible armies. Men are not naturally supportive of each other. They are competitive. They have been bred that way for countless generations. Their mothers have ensured this for reasons that were perfectly natural before the advent of the triple development, but now things are different. The power structures that worked more or less in a mutually beneficial harmony between men and women are redundant. What’s worse, is that those power structures are now in grave disharmony and imbalance. What could be a more effective way to destroy a society? Tell the most powerful element in that society that they are oppressed and they will attack the weaker element. If that weaker element is programmed from birth to protect and defend the powerful element they will offer little resistance. They will be destroyed.

Men are still seeing each other as rivals and competitors, but in the darkness of cyberspace, where they are invisible, they can co-operate and reach out to one another. They can express their pain in safety, free from the emasculation that afflicts them in the ‘real’ world. Here, where their physical presence is not required or necessary and only their words are seen they can organize and bring about change. Despite the fact that the Feminazis have blamed them constantly for all humanities ills and despite their own complicity in their own destruction, increasing numbers of men are at last waking up to the truth. They have been lied to, abused and sacrificed by their sisters and their mothers. They are awakening from a nightmare to find that the nightmare is real and worse than they could have possibly imagined. Their pain and their expression of their grief, as it begins to be released, will be nothing less than cataclysmic.

No man is an island, entire of itself.

Every man is a piece of the continent, part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less,

As well as if a promontory were,

As well as if a manor of thy friends or thy own.

Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind,

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee.

— John Donne

In cyberspace, under Athena’s shield, they can put on the helmet of invisibility and the winged sandals. They can dare to take in their own hands the sickle that Perseus was given. But first, if this weapon is to be grasped and wielded to decapitate the monster we must be fully aware of the true identity and nature of this ‘sword of retribution’. Only a hero such as Perseus can be worthy and brave enough to take up this fearsome blade. It has been forged in the fires of eternal conflict and tempered with the blood of millions upon millions of sacrificial victims.Who among us would dare to unleash the power of such a weapon and set its edge against the neck of the monster? To answer that we must go now to a dark, dark place. It is a place filled with unmentionable horror and unthinkable terror – it is a place that lies deep within ourselves.

Here dead lie we, because we did not choose to live
And shame the land from which we sprung.
Life to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
But young men think it is, and we were young.

— A.E. Housman

Men have always been expendable. They sacrifice themselves for the benefit of their families and their societies. Even in the Old Testament, God demanded the sacrifice of Abraham’s son – not his daughter. But, does this really mean that the male is of more value? This is the way it has been for all time and it is always the young men who are the first to die. Many of the millions upon millions who were sacrificed, were not yet even men, they were boys. The soldier is revered in time of war and quickly forgotten and even despised in times of peace. This is how it has been, but what if it were different? What would our attitude be if it were young women who were the sacrificed? What kind of society would send young girls of seventeen or even younger, sacrificial virgins, off into battle to protect and defend us - to die so that we may live? Surely, if they are the ones who bring life into the world they must be a more valuable sacrifice? It is inconceivable - unthinkable - yet why? Both the genders are necessary for life to continue, so why should the male be slaughtered? No man would send his daughter to die for him, but it is perfectly acceptable for a mother to send her son to do so. What does this tell us about the power that mothers have over their sons? What does this tell us about our society? What does it tell us about who we truly value and what does it tell us about our concept of human value itself?

It tells us that we are a society that still practices human sacrifice. We ritually slay young boys on the altar of the insatiable Goddess and we justify it with the belief that it is for the benefit of us all. This is how much we as a society value men and it is indicative of how much they value themselves. It is also a graphic illustration of how women view and value men.

The universe is so vast and ageless that the life of one man can only be justified by the measure of his sacrifice.

So where does this terrible requirement for sacrifice to the Goddess – the Momgod - originate? To answer this we must journey back into our past – to a time that we have consciously forgotten. It is nevertheless, a small step back in the span of human existence. Ancient Europe’s religions, in common with many others, practiced human sacrifice. The Great Earth mother - the White Moon Goddess (Diana) was regarded as immortal, changeless, and omnipotent. It was believed that she imprisoned the Sun King in the north where the sun never shines and where the snow comes from borne on the north winds. The Sun King was born at midwinter when the sun was at its weakest and lowest in the southern sky. The representative of the Sun King – the male sacrifice, was killed at the Summer Solstice when the sun was the nearest to the north. This was to ensure the sun would return and bring warmth and fertility. This was the model learned from nature. The cycle of life and death within the cycle of the seasons.

In the Greek creation myths, the universe was ruled over by the careless God Chaos. His wife – the dark goddess of the night- Nyx - had a son called Erebus (darkness) who overthrew his father and married his mother. Together they ruled the chaotic world until they had two children –Aether (light) and Hemera (day) who in turn overthrew them and seized power. Now that their light illuminated the world, they saw that it was a thoroughly unpleasant place, so they summoned their own son Eros (love) to help them. Eros fired his life giving arrows into the earth and it became a beautiful place, formed into natural order. Gaea was the name given to the Goddess who personified the newly created Earth. Gaea created her husband, Uranus. Uranus is derived like the Hindu God Varuna, from the Sanskrit word var, which means to veil or cover. He was the personification of the heavens. Heaven and Earth in partnership, an analogy of the oneness of creation. Uranus and Gaea had twelve giant children – the Titans. Uranus feared that they would overthrow him so he had them chained securely in a great chasm beneath the earth - the underworld called Tartarus. Gaea urged the Titans to conspire against their father, but only one of their sons, Chronos was brave enough to try. His mother encouraged and incited this rebellion, giving him a fearsome sickle with which to overthrow his father. Thus, Uranus was overthrown and bound securely. Chronos, the personification of time, took over the universe and freed the Titans who were assigned various portions of the world to rule. Uranus cursed his son, prophesizing that he would suffer the exact same fate and be overthrown by his sons. Chronos tried to defeat the curse by eating his children as they were born. Thus, time creates and destroys.

Later, the Goddess appeared in a new form - as Vesta who was the daughter of Chronos (time). She was worshipped throughout Italy, Greece and Asia Minor as the guardian angel of mankind and the goddess of fire and the family hearth. In ancient times, the hearth fire in the cave or hut, being the social center of peoples lives, was seen as an altar on which sacrifices were made. Motherhood, the bringing of life into the world was the prime mystery, and the matriarch was feared, adored, and obeyed. The first victim of a Greek public sacrifice was always offered to Vesta, the Goddess of the hearth.

Human sacrifice has in fact, survived well, right into modern times. Many old buildings, even great Cathedrals have the bodies of adults, children and babies beneath them and to this day builders put a token sacrifice, usually a coin, under the chimney stack of a new building. Even God ‘Himself (IOUEA = Jaweh = Allah) seen so often as being male still has a feminine name even though the Feminazi constantly tell us that God is analogous of the patriarchy. It is clear that throughout recorded history we have submitted to the will of the same archetypal Goddess, whether she is represented by The White Moon Goddess, the Earth Mother, Gaea, Vesta, Mary Mother of God, ‘Mom and Apple Pie’ or just the average woman in the street.

The Feminazi assertion that womankind has suffered under a ruthless patriarchy is utter nonsense. Young girls have not been sacrificed on the altar of the Father God. It has been boys and young men who have been slaughtered to appease the Goddess of birth, life and death - the triple personae of woman well known to the old Earth religions – the maiden, the mother and the hag. She has been with us for all time. She is with us now, but now is the time that both men and women must consign her to history - to where she belongs.

When shall we three meet again?

In thunder lightning or in rain?

When the hurly burly’s done,

When the battle’s lost and won.

— Macbeth. Sc.1

Under Goddess worship, all men are born to sacrifice themselves. They do so in almost every aspect of their lives. A man will put his own needs last of all when it comes to the health and well being of his woman and his children – even if that means his own certain death. "Women and children first!" rings the chivalrous cry as the ship sinks. Men and boys first as the danger threatens, the war clouds gather and the dirty work of death is to be done. Yet women are just as capable of dealing out death. They are just as capable of the most despicable crimes even though there always seems to be an excuse for them. There has to be if she is a representative of the Goddess.

It is said that during the French revolution, soldiers begged to be guillotined rather than face the average French woman who inflicted the most painful deaths imaginable with little more than their bare hands and common household instruments. More recently, in the African country of Rwanda there was genocide. Two groups of human beings decided they could not live together. We were shown gruesome film of the carnage. What we were not shown or told was the large numbers of women who murdered men, women and children. The London based ‘African Rights’ organization has documented the genocide in detail, but the truth was not shown to us. These were not brave heroines who were defending their homes against invaders. They were ordinary women from all social classes, doctors, nurses, teachers, and civil servants - even government ministers. Over a thousand were imprisoned for war crimes. The manner in which they tortured and murdered their ‘sisters’ is on par with anything in recorded history. In the western world, there was no mention of this in the media. It was, of course, like all warfare, portrayed as an all-male affair. No negative statements regarding females or femininity are accepted or tolerated. The Feminazi campaigns aggressively against racism, gender discrimination and ‘hate speech’, which of course does not apply to attacks against men or masculinity. Already the constitutions of our nations are forbidding any communication that is seen as anti-female. The myth of ‘oppression’ created by Feminazis of is an essential component of their own reign of terror. Similarly the crimes of women in the home and in society as a whole are overwhelmingly either excused or ignored. Women are rarely imprisoned or punished as men are.

The same prejudice that sends young men to die also ignores men’s shorter life spans and poorer health and operates blatantly and unchecked in the justice systems. It’s true that women are probably less likely to offend, but how much of this is due to societies perceptions and expectations of them? If men were treated by the same standards and accorded the same privileges, then we would probably find true equality in criminal behavior as elsewhere. It’s clear that women are capable of and regularly do commit crimes just as horrific as those perpetrated by men, but only women have the advantage of their gender and their affinity to the Goddess to exonerate them. Men have to wear their gender - like a yellow star - as a badge of guilt so that they can be readily persecuted at every opportunity, so that they can be readily and easily sacrificed. Our young men are taught that they are the aberration and that they must ‘get in touch with their feelings, communicate, get in touch with their feminine side, own their anger and of course the classic ‘accept responsibility for their oppression’. The Feminazi will turn any weapon against her ‘oppressor’, any instrument to inflict torture and death upon those that are despised and hated. Anything and everything - even the very biology and psychology of the male gender is turned against men. Should men still be chivalrous? Should the place in the lifeboat go to those who are guilty of such persecution? Should men lay down their lives for the defense and protection of those who are capable of such deviousness and ungratefulness?

NOMINATE A HEROINE TO RECEIVE MONETARY AWARD AND GLOBAL RECOGNITION !!

1998, which is the 150th anniversary of the First Women's Rights Convention, and the United Nations Year of Human Rights is a perfect opportunity to honor not only our heroines from the past, but to recognize the heroines of today. Women who have the courage to speak out against unspeakable odds, women, who like our ancestors, have made supreme sacrifices in the name of women and the rights they deserve.

These women refuse to accept the constraints and discrimination that limit their lives. They refuse to give in to the violence that threatens their health and the safety of their families. They refuse to remain silent. In their acts of courage they give voice to all women, hope to all humanity. They are heroines.

Many nations and cultures still have embodied in them the tradition of the Spartan mothers who told their sons ‘come home with your shield - or upon it’. Boys and men should ‘naturally’ be willing to go out and die for the ‘Mother country’. ‘Mother’ has a lot to answer for. We have revered her as a saint and a Goddess for too long. She is neither, just as men are not saints and gods. We are all but human beings and as such we are all capable of evil or good, weakness and strength, hate or love. ‘Mother’ has become a Goddess and we are constantly assured she is incapable of evil. We have been lied to. Dear, sweet, apple-cheeked, silver-haired ‘Moms’ are capable of just as much evil as men are. What’s worse is they are often guilty of inspiring and enforcing such behavior in their sons.

The modern perception of mothers fits neatly upon the ancient archetypal image of the Mother Goddess. This archetypal monster is a parasite that can still kill and castrate through its dysfunctional power. We would of course, not dare to say that all women are murdering fiends, yet we readily allow women to say this about men. Such is the power of the Goddess. We are overwhelmingly reluctant to discuss the negative aspects of women and to do so about mothers particularly is more heinous a crime than spitting on the cross. It is the supreme sacrilege. Yet, when women don’t like something about men, they are perfectly free to discuss the matter. They are even handsomely paid to do so legitimately, professionally and usually to great public acclaim and applause.

In a patriarchal society all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent.

— Catherine MacKinnon, Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women's Studies.

I have a great deal of difficulty with the idea of the ideal man. As far as I'm concerned, men are the product of a damaged gene. They pretend to be normal but what they're doing sitting there with benign smiles on their faces is they're manufacturing sperm. They do it all the time. They never stop.

— Germaine Greer.

Ninety-five percent of women's experiences are about being a victim. Or about being an underdog, or having to survive...women didn't go to Vietnam and blow things up. They are not Rambo;

Universities and colleges will readily pay generous salaries to those who teach man–hatred to our young. Women’s magazines and TV shows delight in the destruction and humiliation of men. The media are more than keen to lampoon and denigrate men. They know full well that many women have a deep, pathological contempt for men and they use that fact blatantly to sell the products of their sponsors. If ten women get slaughtered in a film, it’s called a horror movie. If hundreds or even thousands of men get slaughtered in the cause of entertainment, it’s called an action movie. A severed penis is worth millions of dollars in sales and an excuse for the greatest mirth and hilarity. If a man cut out a woman’s vagina would he be regaled as a hero? Would he be applauded like Ms. Bobbit and her imitators? It is clear that in the hearts and minds of many women, there is a deep-rooted hatred of men. Furthermore, it is quite acceptable and even desirable for them to express this hatred publicly, to teach it academically and to promote it as the healing balm of all of society's ills.

In everything men make, they hollow out a central place for death, let its rancid smell contaminate every dimension of whatever still survives. Men especially love murder. In art they celebrate it, and in life they commit it. They embrace murder as if life without it would be devoid of passion,meaning, and action, as if murder were solace, still their sobs as they mourn the emptiness and alienation of their lives,

— Andrea Dworkin, Letters from a War Zone

Just like their sanctified grandmothers before them, the middle class feminists have taken it upon themselves to become the ‘conscience’ of society. They do this enjoying all the benefits of the very society whose lack of conscience they decry – a society defended, protected and paid for by men. Their very lives bought with the blood sacrifice of their grandfathers, fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. The ordinary woman, the wife, the mother, the sister and the daughter, subconsciously conspires with this. This is where the majority of women stand on feminist issues. They benefit from the Feminazi rantings at the spearhead of the women’s movement. They say nothing when the lunatic man-hating schemes are turned into law. They ignore the sufferings of their fellow human beings as they are crushed by the Feminazi juggernaut. They don’t turn down their thirty pieces of silver, regardless of the damage it is doing to our society, to men, to our children and ultimately to women themselves. Why should they? They know subconsciously that men exist to be sacrificed. Those women who are not speaking out are taking advantage of a crime against humanity for which their own sons will pay the highest price. Their sons will be humiliated and destroyed without the benefits of protection and yet, they will still be required to put their lives on the line for women and for the goddess in the event of war. They will of course, as always – be decried as evil sub-human monsters and be blamed and deemed responsible for their own deaths. On their own bloodstained hands be it.

When you durst do it, then you are a man.
