NON-PROFIT FAILURE

An Email from The California Alliance for Families and Children (CAFC) indicated that they had great news, good news, and bad news. The bad news advised the reader that unless they received significant increases in funding they would cease their operations in January 1, 2009. That bad news negated any positive glow from the great and good news, which I found to be minimal at best.

They closed their mid-year report with the statement “Please help us continue our efforts to reform, reeducate, and retrain the family law courts.” That’s a massive undertaking considering the tens of thousands of legislators and support people involved in family courts. How could such a project even be thought of when they can’t afford to adequately pay their executive director?

However, if by some miracle they received an unexpected gift of millions of dollars to fund this objective, just what will be the new knowledge that they hope to impart to the family courts? CAFC displays on their website the information that they are a gender neutral 501(C) 3. Gender neutral! How can gender neutral deal with family court? How can gender neutral change anything? Gender-neutral thinking has created the destruction of the family in Western society.

Men make families. Not the government, not the churches—not even God. Man was ordained to lead and rule. The story of Adam and Eve clearly shows the authority of the male. Jesus called women the weaker sex. If you can accept the Gospel of Thomas, in it Jesus speaking of Mary states, “Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males.” Paul clearly indicated that man was the head of the family.

Rejecting his own religious texts Western man continues to pursue a gender-neutral course. He does not understand gender differences. He takes pride in giving his women equal opportunity in all things, and then becomes frustrated when they do not behave as he does. He compounded his ignorance by giving this majority the right to vote—a grouping diametrically opposite to him in all gender characteristics—and consequently they have now voted away all his natural authority. In all of recorded history there has never been such an act of ignorance performed by men.

Now Western man sits in jail bemoaning his plight for unjust accusations of rape, sexual harassment, and spousal abuse. He suffers incarceration for missing child support payments, for not paying child support for children that are not his, and for kidnapping his own children. His suffering is severe, but his ignorance is greater. He inflicted these conditions upon himself and shows no signs of understanding that he did.

Getting back to the looming cessation of operations by CAFC, they will join the American Coalition of Fathers and Children (ACFC) as another ineffective about to go broke non-profit organization. The National Organization of Men (NOM) is no longer in existence. Focus on the Family a well-funded long-lived organization is in similar straits reporting that they are currently running five million dollars behind budgeted income (I wrote about them in A message From Elder George titled, Bedfellows Dobson and Zuckerman). All non-profits are impotent. Only virility can make things happen. Virility cannot be gender neutral—it comes form the testis. Western man and the government and all the other organizations that he created cannot seem to fathom that truism.

From coast to coast and border to border there are no virile non-profit organizations in America; therefore, no change can be made to anything—a rather sad situation that explains why whatever is wrong one year gets worse the following year. When positive change can no longer occur an organization, business, or species of life will decay and become extinct. Western society is well on its way to extinction.

There is an organization that offers hope and contains a virile message, but it is not 501 (C) 3 gender-neutral. That organization is Men’s Action, Inc., which working through Men’s Action to Rebuild Society espouses manhood, virility, and patriarchy—the natural structure of the universe. It does not dissipate its energies writing and talking about what is wrong; instead it offers solutions—the primary solution being active manhood.

It is aggressively working to build grass roots support. It will conduct a six-week lecture series at the Harlem YMCA. It is preparing brochures for lectures to be given to student organizations at various universities with the objective of starting to lecture in the coming semester. Men’s Action has an advanced website and has laid the foundation for development on Youtube. Men’s Action is negotiating with independent filmmakers to find a vehicle to present its message. Men’s Action calls for action and provides action.

Successful action requires an army of active supporters—not passive well-wishers. A mystical directive requires that we share what we have attained whether in the form of knowledge, wealth or effort. This sharing has never been evident in men’s rights organizations. Getting back to the opening paragraph regarding CAFC’s inability to even properly pay it executive director, it represents the non-giving attitude of men’s rights organization members from their inception. They form elaborate corporate structures, with officers, boards of directors or advisory boards, but no sharing of time, talent, and treasure.

Earlier this year because of incorporation costs and general expenses I requested financial support, at the same time and without solicitation I received $700 from a grandmother in Queens who was only an acquaintance. A woman who I had met once sent me $100 in lieu of attending a lecture I gave in January. These two donations surpassed the total I received from within our entire organization. This support from women has manifested since I first started expounding my message 15 years ago. A former secretary who I hadn’t seen in 10 years sent me $2,500. Another woman sent me $2,000, both of these were donations were unsolicited. These contributions were manifestations of the nurturing nature of women and are a necessary component of any organization, just as it is a necessary component of any family. I also received one and two thousand-dollar donations from men. It is time for men to stand up and act, and these actions need to be manifested in contributions of time, talent, and treasure.

Men’s Action will continue to move ahead. It is in a unique position. It has no competition. For those who have given active support I am greatful, for those who haven’t, now is the time to act.

A GENDER VIEW OF ENVIRONMENTALISM

Environmentalists express dedication, hard work (frequently under very uncomfortable and dangerous conditions), knowledge of their sphere of influence, and an ability to marshal support for their objectives. The cumulative results of their activities indicate loses on all fronts; more species of plant and animal life have been eliminated, pollution at every level has increased, and atmospheric C02 content is approaching the point of no return.

The failure to gain on any environmental front represents a microcosm of Western society’s inability to resolve issues. Whatever a persons age, what was considered bad at the time of his birth has gotten worse in his lifetime. The prison population, divorce, adultery, mental illness, and substance abuse have all increased. Academic performance, the rate of marriage, and the stability of the family have all decreased. We live in a society incapable of resolving issues of any sort. Why then should we be surprised that the environment continues to deteriorate?

The thinking that produced a problem cannot be used to resolve that problem. That is the meaning of the term, “You must be reborn.” Western thought is out of balance with nature. It is feminine and materialist and has caused the desecration of mother earth as a result of its insatiable desire to consume. God has provided for our every need, not for all of our greed.

All environmental organizations call upon the federal, state, and local government to assist them with their concerns; however, as the government takes on increasing responsibility for our private lives it needs additional revenues to support these activities. Its revenues come from taxes whether in the form of corporate, payroll, or sales taxes. In order to extend its tax base the government promotes increased production and consumption. This governmental activity diametrically opposes the goals of environmentalism, which promote conservation and learning to live with less. To expect that government will resolve environmental issues is not only ludicrous, it is oxymoronic.

In their efforts to buttress their claims concerning the alarming deterioration of Mother Earth environmentalists point to the seemingly infinite array of scientific papers that address every segment of environmental deterioration. Science has little to do with preserving the environment, and in the aggregate probably contributes more to its deterioration than to its preservation due to scientific involvement in the development of high technology products for government and industry. Indigenous peoples of all continents except Europe did not need science to tell them what was good or bad for the environment—they took what they needed from the earth—they did not exploit it. They lived in a patriarchal structure that made the family the focal point of the community, and the preservation and propagation of the species (including its spiritual development) their paramount activity. They lived in harmony with the environment and the spiritual world that controlled it.

Western thought feels that is has to tame the environment. It actually believes that it can create a better apple than God or nature did. It is completely out of tune with nature and matters spiritual.

As any environmentalist has observed, the male of the species provides the environment and means for the female to bring forth life and nurture it. The Sun provides the environment and means for Mother Earth to bring forth life and nurture it. The entire universe functions on that basis. The Chinese call this relationship the Yin and Yang from which all life flows. However, in the West editorials are written explaining why we do not need men anymore. And then we wonder why society and the environment continue to deteriorate as the high priests of science and government are called upon to come to the rescue.
