THE ONLY REAL LONG-TERM SOLUTION FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST 

With the current Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, and the larger, decades old, Israel-Palestine conflict in general, the idea of lasting peace in the Middle East seems to be increasingly elusive these days.  But there IS actually a solution, one that is extremely unlikely to happen anytime soon.  So what is it?

It's really quite simple.  Men on both sides need to step down yesterday and let Women take over completely.  Period, full stop.  Because practically all of the violence, terrorism, and warmongering are being done by one gender, and it's not Women (while many of the victims are Women and children).

Otherwise, there is no long-term solution.  But until then, a "two-state solution" is still far better than a "Final Solution" on either side, to the victors going the ashes of the spoils.

HOW TO GET MEN TO "ACCEPT THE UNACCEPTABLE"

As any student of world history can tell you, the USA and its Allies were once up against an extremely formidable enemy during WWII, one who was even harder to defeat than the formidable Nazis.  That "honor" goes to none other than Imperial Japan, the country that got America into the war in the first place.  They were not only extremely skilled and disciplined fighters by far, but were also most notably extremely stubborn when it came to surrendering.  "Death before dishonor" was so integral to their code of ethics that they would routinely engage in suicide attacks against the Allied forces.  They literally saw the prospect of surrender as worse than death, and thus behaved accordingly.  That was what we were up against in the Land of the Rising Sun.

As powerful as General Hideki Tojo was, the Japanese troops ultimately answered to one and only one man:  Emperor Hirohito.  He was literally regarded as a god, and was obeyed accordingly.  He ultimately turned out to be Imperial Japan's weakest link, however.  Long story short, rightly or wrongly, when the USA had first bombed and napalmed Tokyo, and then nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Emperor was scared straight into surrendering unconditionally to the Allies.  He was thus forced to address the people and admit that he wasn't really divine, and that it was time for Japan to "accept the unacceptable" and surrender to the Allies.  And they listened, for the most part.  (Some Japanese troops didn't want to believe him and continued fighting for a time, but that was a tiny number that was readily quashed.)  In return for Hirohito ordering his troops to surrender, the Allies allowed him to remain as a figurehead "Emperor" in the new constitutional monarchy imposed by the Allies, which he remained until his death and succession by his son, Akihito.

So what can we learn from this?  Will it be possible for Women to finally get men to surrender this way?  That is, would it require a very powerful and charismatic "bro", one who is practically deified, to convince men that it is in their best interest to "accept the unacceptable" and surrender?  And what would it take to get that man to do so?

In a way, one particular man, former President Donald Trump, would have perhaps fit the bill as the Hirohito of American men if he wasn't so narcissistic, unstable, demented, corrupt, and of course frankly misogynistic.  If there was a way to get him to unconditionally surrender to Women, he could have perhaps convinced about 50-60% of men to join him in surrendering, maybe even more.  But even so, that window has long since closed, as the Donald is now discredited and he is nowhere near as popular as he once was.

So who will it be now, if anyone at all?  That is an open question that only Mother God really knows the answer to.

JUST SAY NO TO WORLD WAR 3!

It has come to my attention that there is a faction in the USA and elsewhere of largely neoconservatives who are incessantly itching for a hot war with Iran more than ever.  The casus belli this time (as though the warmongers really needed a new one) is 1) that Iran has long supported and funded both Hamas and Hezbollah, which is true, and 2) that Iran's fingerprints are (allegedly) all over Hamas's brutal and barbaric terrorist attack against Israel, which is debatable.  That is in addition to Iran's alleged nuclear weapons ambitions, of course, which was the previous justification, as well as their proxy attacks against American troops in Iraq and Syria.

(For the record, I thoroughly condemn Hamas's brutal and barbaric terrorist attack against Israel, without qualification.)

That said, going to war with Iran directly would be a major strategic blunder for a number of reasons.  First, a ground war and occupation there would be an even worse quagmire than the ill-fated ground wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Secondly, even a predominantly air war, which could set Iran back centuries if we really wanted to, would ultimately create a "failed state" which would be a magnet for extremists in the future.  The inevitable blowback sooner or later would be horrendous to say the least.  As the saying goes, "you break it, you own it".  At the same time, a half-assed war would in fact be the worst of all options in the long run, and any forcible "regime change" will inevitably create a dangerous power vacuum sooner or later.  And finally, a war with Iran would be very likely to draw in Iran's staunchest allies:  Russia, China, and North Korea, three nuclear-armed countries that any sane person does NOT want to get into a hot war with!  That would be World War 3, essentially, and even if it somehow doesn't go nuclear (which is far from guaranteed), it would still be truly horrendous and extremely costly in both lives and resources.  Any "victory" would be a Pyrrhic victory at best.

(Nuclear war is simply too horrible to even contemplate, something no sane person could ever support, period.  But just one miscommunication and it can happen.)

In other words, the USA attacking Iran would not be like cutting of the head off of the proverbial snake, but rather more like a Hydra whose heads will keep multiplying each time one is severed.  OOPS!

At the very least, a three-front war like that (without going nuclear) would NOT be even remotely possible to win with an all-volunteer military for very long.  The Reserves and National Guard can only buy us so much time for what will likely be a very long and bloody war of attrition that would likely dwarf World Wars 1 and 2 and the American Civil War combined.  That's the biggest elephant in the room.  So for all the people who want to go to war with Iran (or any the other aforementioned countries), let's put it up to a vote.  Those who vote "yes", well, greetings, you have just been drafted!  Those who abstained will be next if needed.  Those who vote "no" shall be exempt.  And the vote should be repeated annually to decide whether or not to renew the war effort for yet another year.  And if that is still somehow not enough for a truly existential war that already began and where withdrawal is truly not an option, and a more comprehensive draft is still somehow needed, then draft the billionaires first, then the millionaires, and so on.  It's only fair.

With absolutely NO apologies to the modern-day Ayn Rand disciples who are itching to fight Iran, and yet paradoxically quail at the very thought of personally having any sort of skin in the game themselves.

(Normally I would agree that a country that needs a draft to defend itself deserves to lose, and that in any case they could easily have enough recruits for an all-volunteer military if they simply paid them enough.  And in principle that still remains true.  But a World War 3, due to its inherently massive scale and duration, would kinda be the exception that proves the rule.)

So seriously, warmongers.  KNOCK IT OFF.  Yesterday.  Do everything you possibly can to defuse any impulse to start such a war.  Yesterday.  The life that you save may very well be your own.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.  We must break the cycle of violence, before it ultimately breaks us all.

QED

And finally....

WHY FULL DECRIMINALIZATION OF SEX WORK IS THE ONLY JUST AND RATIONAL POLICY IN THAT REGARD

A few years ago, I wrote an article titled "Prostitution: The Oldest Profession or The Oldest Oppression?" that looked at the issue of sex work from various angles, and ultimately came to the conclusion that full decriminalization was the only just and rational policy in that regard.  That is the same conclusion that such diverse voices as Amnesty International, the ACLU, the WHO, UNAIDS, Human Rights Campaign, and so many others have come to in recent years.  And the legendary Guru Rasa Von Werder has also long supported decriminalization as well.

New Zealand is probably the best example of full decriminalization, which has prevailed for the past two decades.  A few other places in the world have or have had some flavor of this policy as well, including some parts of Australia, and formerly in the US state of Rhode Island from 2003-2009.  Ditto for Denmark, the only Nordic country where the so-called "Nordic Model" never really caught on.  And while not a panacea, it is clearly the least-worst policy.

This is to be clearly distinguished from "legalization", where sex work is confined to a narrow and tightly regulated framework but otherwise criminalized outside that framework.  Basically, the state becomes the pimp in practice, if not also in theory.  And it is a half-assed solution at best.  Nevada, the Netherlands, and Germany are classic examples of such.

As for the so-called "Nordic Model" or "Equality Model", which should really be called the "Entrapment Model", we see that after over two decades of it in Sweden, and several years in several other countries that tried it, it fails miserably.  (As of 2023, the only US state to adopt it is Maine, and they did so earlier this year.)  While it is arguably a step up from full criminalization, that's a pitifully low bar to clear.

And of course, not even Mao Zedong and all of his brutality was ever able to truly eradicate prostitution, and it wasn't for lack of trying.  Sex work has existed in practically every culture in history, except for a tiny few outliers here and there.  Matriarchal societies would mostly likely have significantly less of it for reasons of both supply and demand, but it would likely still exist regardless (e.g. Sacred Harlots).

Ideally, the adult trade should be controlled entirely by Women, as when men control it they inevitably ruin it horribly.  Thus, banning men from acting as pimps and brothel owners would likely be a good idea.  Otherwise, putting restrictions on the adult trade generally does more harm than good.

Thus, we still ought to endorse full decriminalization.  The case in favor has only gotten stronger over time.

QED

To answer Ajax the Great  from Rasa Von Werder   11-19-23

          I can respond to the first & third articles – the middle is politics & specific wars –I don’t know enough about that.

          Re men surrendering to women being the only solution.  I will channel Mother God, as this is deep.

MG:  Men will NOT surrender to women under any circumstances except one:  they HAVE TO.  As long as there is a way out, they will not do it.  Their lower self, the ID of Freud, has demons.  Of course, only part of men are this way – the majority are normal including great guys.

But as Ajax said {good for him} the good guys have done NOTHING to stop the evil ones from ruling the world.  We can discuss elsewhere why that is.

The progression of women taking over as I see it, will run like this:  First, women must gain EQUALITY with men in all fields especially leadership, government {our country & all over the world}, & earning a living.  Say the Senate & Congress have to be half women. The presidents of Ivy League Universities must be half women.  Every other President, Prime Minister & leader of countries, should be a woman. It could be put into law that way; one election male, one female, & so on.  Leadership across the board in governments & money-making institutions should be women.  And woman should have at least an equal voice in religion, taking over what is here &/or starting their own religions, such as I’m doing.

Now we see there is work to be done, it’s not an overnight affair.  This will take I think at least 200 years.  Only AFTER women have gained full parity will the reins then be let go, & women will quickly overtake men as they have done in education - & men will be unable to stop them.

Men will NOT voluntarily give up; it must be TAKEN from them.  They will fight to the death not to let women rule, but if they fail in the fight, they have no choice.  And they will fail inevitably because science & statistics have PROVEN females are superior to males & the LIES/brainwashing of males against women WILL NO LONGER WORK, women are rising, they are the cork William Bond says has been let go.

Next, about sex.

The ‘morals’ re sex have been one of the big brainwashing schemes of males against females. As their doctrine/agenda against women falls apart, this will go with it.

Women will be asking WHY?  Why do we have to be faithful to men when we can earn our own bread for ourselves & our children, & if we can’t, there’s welfare.  We are no longer SLAVES who can only survive by latching on to a male – who in the past found it 99% easier to earn a living.

Women also are CHANGING.  As the chains have broke down, they have exercised their bodies & minds mightily on their own behalf & men are getting small & puny in their eyes.  All that bravado, that rhetoric.  Look at the body building world.  A few chemicals & suddenly females are as muscular as males.  That broke the tradition of males only can have muscles, women are the cheesecake surrounding them.  That was part of the cultural shift that demanded women  be FEMININE.  Why?  Feminine is PASSIVE & passive people seldom get their way.  Look at Marilyn Monroe, a model of passivity, for all her bedding great men, she commits suicide.  The passive act does not bring Paradise.

As Ajax says & many agree, the current system is PIMPING women in the adult trade.  Many benefit by it being criminal.  The police are paid, the judge & all the court employees, the prison system – all get paid.  The woman would rather pay a fine than be jailed.  She is paying them to enforce the law on her & goes back to her trade for survival.  Many of these females have children.  Who said it’s a sin?  Men’s religion.  Who said men interpret morality?  Men.

Who said sex is evil, sinful & so wrong it must be criminalized?  Men.  If receiving money for sex is a crime, why isn’t sex per se a crime?  At one time it was.  Jesus saved the woman caught in the act of adultery – most notable to me, where is the man?  They were going to kill her for sex, but not the man.  Does it not become obvious these laws, restrictions & cultures are to benefit men & oppress women?

Women are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, that they have been brutalized by men, abused, used, degraded & disempowered, & now, they are rising up. So it’s a matter of time before they get out of this quagmire called Patriarchy, & they will be free.  But it will take time.

Happy International Men’s Day.

AJAX SAYS:  Thank you.  Very well-said overall, Rasa (and of course, Mother God as well).  Excellent points.  Taking the long view, the 7000+ year battle of the sexes is a war that men have lost before the war even began, they just don't fully know it yet (though some do).  Men may have won just about every battle previously, but in the end, that will be irrelevant.  And God willing, after that very long detour, Women will ultimately win the war for good.

And in regards to sex, as we have both noted before, Women's sexual freedom is ultimately the kill switch for the patriarchy, which is why the patriarchy has so vigorously suppressed Women's sexuality so much for so long.

P.S.  International Men's Day also just so happens to fall on....World Toilet Day, lol.

            PS  FROM RASA:

    Human men are DELUDED in their view of themselves & their brotherhood.  They refuse to think any other way then they are going to win, sooner or later, by the guy on the shining horse, the hero, the geat man who will save the world & all men will rule & women will stay in their place - they are just 'waiting for Godot' & that will never come.

In the play, when Godot shows up he's a man kind of in rags & carrying a bundle.  They can't believe he's the one.

There is no Godot, Superman, Captain Marvel, Wyatt Earp, or any other man who can save the world, the very nature of men is to obey women, to listen, to work for women & that is all they're designed for.  {Women bred along the way for the type of man we see now:  Obedient, ready to take chances, strong & good for hard work, have good physical coordination & skills, aggressive.  Except men eventually turned against women {1/3 of them} & the good guys obey the bad guys. Check my view of the myth of Lucifer to Satan or the Hindu myth of Durga to Kali against Maharashtri.  Males have become rogue men who instead of obedience to women, obey the demons which are working inside of demonic males.}

For them to get up & say,

"I will not serve - I deserve to be the one looked up to, I am the leader,'

is the biggest all-time delusion & fortunately, it will end soon in evolutionary terms.  'Kali Yoga' is evil but short lived.

Thanks for your articles Ajax, they are fantastic.

AJAX SAYS:  Thank you, and you're very welcome, Rasa.  Amen.
