The rise of castration anxiety

Technology is emasculating society

Little is known about the ecstatic rites of Cybele, a pre-Hellenic goddess associated with nature and wildness. Shrines have been found throughout Europe, though she was originally from Mesopotamia. And numerous sources describe her mendicant priesthood: castrated men who bleached their hair, and wore heavy makeup and elaborate feminine costumes. They were said to mimic the mythic figure of Attis, a mortal who — the legend goes — was driven to a frenzy by a jealous Cybele, and castrated himself before becoming her deathless consort.

Leaked emails that PROVE the RAF is prejudiced against white male recruits

The Air Force apologised after requesting diverse pilot to be their face at Top Gun 2 premiere

No one draws a crowd quite like Tom Cruise, and when the Hollywood star came to London to promote his new Top Gun movie, Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force was handed a priceless PR opportunity.

Specifically, its ‘Media & Comms’ team was asked if they could find a real-life British fighter ace to join Cruise at one of the media events scheduled around the film’s glittering premiere in Leicester Square. In late April, an RAF publicity wallah named ‘Sarah’ therefore emailed officials at RAF bases, looking for someone to take on the job.

Promise Me You’ll Shoot Yourself: The Downfall of Ordinary Germans in 1945

Promise Me You’ll Shoot Yourself is one of the best books about Nazi Germany I’ve read. The author is 55-year-old Nuremberg native Florian Huber, who wrote his PhD on British policy regarding the postwar occupation of Germany. The book was first published in Germany in 2015. It became a bestseller. Penguin published an English translation in 2019. Huber’s writing is as crisp and gripping as prize-winning fiction. His style is a bit like Hemingway’s. The main text of the book is 267 pages, followed by 20 pages of notes. Promise Me is a quick read that covers an astounding amount of history. It opens with the mass suicides prompted by Nazi Germany’s defeat. It goes on to describe why so many Germans felt that suicide was the only possible response to that defeat.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Western University’s nonsensical vaccine booster mandate

Vaccine mandates have, rightly, all but disappeared across Canada — but some universities seem intent on bringing them back.

This week, Western University announced (of course, after students had already paid tuition) that it’ll mandate masking and at least one vaccine booster dose in classrooms this fall. A few weeks ago, the University of Toronto ruled students must have at least one booster dose to live in its residences.

Socialite who charmed Nato staff in Naples was Russian spy, say investigators

A team of investigators claim to have unmasked a deep-cover spy from Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, who spent a decade posing as a Latin American jewellery designer and partied with Nato staff based in Naples.

The investigators say the woman went by the name of Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera, and told people she met that she was the child of a German father and Peruvian mother, born in the city of Callao, Peru.

In fact, she was a career GRU officer from Russia, according to research by Bellingcat in partnership with a number of media outlets including La Repubblica in Italy and Der Spiegel in Germany, and shared with the Guardian before publication.

How Shaun King and PACs spent over $500K of social justice donations to fight ‘poisonous’ libel suit

Two criminal justice PACs founded by Shaun King have spent more than half a million dollars in donations to pay for legal fees in a defamation case, public records show.

Activist King and a group he founded, Real Justice PAC, are both being sued by Carlos Vega, a former Philadelphia prosecutor who lost a Democratic primary race against the city’s progressive District Attorney Lawrence Krasner in May 2021. Vega accused King of spreading “false statements” about his 35-year law enforcement career to his millions of social media followers in order to get Krasner re-elected.

Time to fight for a better future

Our elites got us into this mess, only we can get us out.

Six years after Britain voted to ‘take back control’, once again it feels like no one is in control.

Ofgem announced today that already high household energy costs are to be hiked a further 80 per cent, taking the average annual bill to £3,549 as of October. If more government support isn’t forthcoming, half of households could fall into fuel poverty.

The wonks at Cornwall Insight, who predicted the energy-price-cap rise almost to the figure, make clear the worst is yet to come. By April, the average bill could be £6,600 per year. And inflation continues to soar. Citi says it could peak at a staggering 18 per cent in the first quarter of 2023.

Carson Jerema: We’re about to learn how wrong it was to use the Emergencies Act

That using the Emergencies Act to clear out the freedom convoy protest this past winter was an overreaction should be the inescapable conclusion of all but the most ardent of Trudeau apologists. The judicial inquiry set up by the government as required by the act and which begins next month will hopefully provide clearer answers as to why a state of emergency was declared. But, unless previously unheard of evidence that Canada’s democracy really was an inch from collapsing emerges, a terrible precedent will have been set. Don’t agree? Just imagine a future government using the act to clear away, say, climate protesters.

Analysis-Forget showering, it’s eat or heat for shocked Europeans hit by energy crisis

LONDON (Reuters) – No more ironing, limited oven use and showering at work – Europeans are trying to keep their energy use down but the bills keep climbing.

As wholesale gas and electricity prices surge, millions of people in Europe are now spending a record amount of their income on energy, data show.

In the east England town of Grimsby, Philip Keetley didn’t turn on his cooling fan at home as Britain sweltered under a record heat-wave this summer.

A look at his bank account showed he couldn’t afford to.

American Express slapped with lawsuit alleging discrimination against White employees

A former American Express employee filed a class-action complaint Tuesday alleging that the credit card company exhibited “callous indifference” to civil rights law by terminating him because he is White and spoke out against its “racially discriminatory” policies.

Brian Netzel, who worked a decade for Amex until he was terminated in 2020, told FOX Business that he sued the company on behalf of himself and potentially thousands of other similarly situated employees following “an avalanche of bad things coming to White people in that company once George Floyd was killed.”

Hungarians warning education becoming ‘too feminine’- report

A “pink education” phenomenon in Hungary that favours women could endanger the economy, lower birth rates and disadvantage men, a report says.

Women are over-represented in Hungarian higher education, according to parliament’s economic watchdog, seen as close to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The authors warned that an increase in female graduates could make women less likely to marry and have children.

If you follow Libs Of Tik Tok you may just agree at the least that the wrong sort of “Wimmins” predominate.
