"Promotion of Homosexuality a Threat to National Security"

Just as New Zealand’s Parliament  is about to vote on the question of legalising homosexual “marriage”, why do Russia and the Ukraine outlaw even any promotion of homosexuality?  Because they believe the spread of homosexuality is a threat to national security.

There is indisputable evidence that over the past few decades there has been a systematic attack  on traditional cultural values in the West, and I contend that an integral part of this has been, and is, a Socialist-based promotion of the homosexual lifestyle. Later I have evidence that such pernicious subverting of culture – known as the culture war -  seems to be permitted only in the West, never in Socialist countries, because of its insidious threat to destroy the family and risk to national security.

Such a  focus upon the West now even sees demands for legislation for homosexual “marriage” and adoption; a far cry, of course, from the time when homosexuality was classified  in psychiatric literature as a behaviour disorder. Indeed, it was only after  dogged and fanatical “gay rights” political pressure was exerted upon the American Psychiatric Association (APA) that such classification was removed in the early 1970’s.(1)

So since then there has been a treacherous and gargantuan leap in the West to  promote homosexuality  as a “valid lifestyle”, and even   with homosexual proselytizing in schools,  costly mass public “pride” events etc. Indeed, in February 2013 the ratepayers of Auckland, New Zealand, will be forced to contribute $100.000.00 for a thirteen day “Pride Festival” and “Pride Parade”, much to the disgust of many.

Opposing such  revolutionary change has long been the reparative therapy movement, with many in the mental health field practising what is known as conversion therapy.  As a result many have renounced their homosexuality, much to the wrath of the homosexual lobby.

From the 1970’s a major influence in this field has been the California-based National Association for Research and Therapy on Homosexuality (NARTH). A 1978 article by its past president,  Charles W. Socarides M.D., The Sexual Deviations and the Diagnostic Manual, and still available,  documents the scandalous developments leading to the APA’s  capitulation to the early 1970’s bullying tactics of the homosexual lobby.(2).

Spanish psychiatrist Enrique Rojas is another who holds to the reparative therapy view,  declaring homosexuality to be  “a clinical process that has an etiology, pathogeny,

treatment and cure”. (3)  Speaking on 30^th April 2008 at a Buenos Aires, Argentina, book fair, about his book Goodbye Depression, Rojas characterised  homosexual orientation as a “disorder” rather than an illness, and sees it as the result of an absent father, overweening mother, or sexual abuse in childhood.

He blasted the homosexual movement for promoting the development of homosexual tendencies in young people, and particularly condemned the practice of allowing homosexual couples to adopt children…..the child is deprived of the right to grow up “in a normal environment, heterosexual, which is the standard”, he said. “Heterosexuality is what is normal, the natural condition of human beings.” He said according to studies from the U.S., Canada and New Zealand there is a 70-80 percent chance that a child adopted by homosexuals will develop the same tendencies..

Not that people in those countries are likely to be informed of this by their largely leftist-oriented media. Now, to compound such revolutionary, anti-social trends comes the astonishing news that California State has banned reparative or conversion therapy for minors.(4) The law will prohibit sexual orientation change efforts for anyone under 18 and will “stop children from being psychologically abused” according to  Democrat Senator Ted Lieu of his bill SB1172. He : “The therapies have no basis in science or medicine.” etc.

Predictably the homosexual lobby “welcomes” this development and calls the practice of conversion therapy “dangerous, because it can put youth at higher risk of  depression and suicide”…The homosexual Human Rights Campaign “is grateful to Governor (Jerry) Brown for standing for California’s children” etc. ran some nauseating diatribe.

Some religious groups and Republicans, however, fear such a  move will hinder parents’ right to provide psychological care for children experiencing gender confusion, while NARTH  sums up this move thus : that Lieu’s claims of harm to children (from therapy) “were based on politics, not research”.

A similar  response came from Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel : “The California  Governor and legislature are putting their own preconceived notions and political ideology ahead of children and their right to get access to counselling that meets their needs.”.(5)

For sure political ideology will have driven that revolutionary piece of legislation, and of course, in order to serve the  ends of the homosexual lobby and their fellow Socialists.

Now, however, for the explosive news to which I referred earlier, and which we in the West can be fairly  sure will never be reported by our mainly pro-left, pro-homosexual media, and it is this. In a 10th October 2012 report came news that in Russia and the Ukraine politicians are treating homosexuality like a curable addiction and even a crime.(6).

It reads : “Last week, acting on a widespread popular belief that sexual orientation is a matter of indoctrination, the Ukrainian Parliament gave its preliminary approval  to a bill that makes ‘propaganda of homosexuality’ a criminal offence punishable by a fine of about $10,000.00 or as many as five years in prison. The spread of homosexuality is a threat to national security, because it propagates the HIV/AIDS epidemic, destroys the family, and could lead to a demographic crisis.” etc.(Emphasis added)

So I see an astonishing paradox here. On the one hand, presumably as part of the Socialist subverting of the West’s traditional cultural values, in the West it is anathema to regard homosexuality as a behaviour disorder, and (in some instances) to permit conversion  therapy for the treating of it as such. At the same time, there is limitless promotion of the homosexual lifestyle, even to the extent of current demands for homosexual “marriage” and adoption, and all in the spurious  causes of “anti-discrimination” and “equality”.

Yet on the other hand we find that currently Socialist nations such as Russia and the Ukraine are outlawing even the most basic of homosexual political activism, the “propaganda of homosexuality” – and never mind homosexual “marriage” and adoption – as a threat to national security and to the family! Also, they are treating homosexuality  “like a curable addiction” and even  a crime!

So here, surely, we have irrefutable evidence of how the traditional cultural values of the West are being deliberately subverted. In the case of demands for  homosexual “marriage” it is driven by the pernicious and covert exploiting of political grievances of the international militant homosexual lobby.

As for  Socialist  motivation behind this, and other homosexual political activism,  ironically it will most likely be for the very  same, but admittedly perverse, reason given for outlawing such  culturally subversive moves in Russia and the Ukraine : because such an attack on marriage  is a threat to family stability!  

Let us hope that our NZ legislators, and others also in the West, may get to see through this devilish intrigue before it is too late.

Rape, and whatever happened to commonsense?

It is just not sufficient to have people march in a Melbourne street “protesting against violence in the community” when Jill Meagher has been raped and murdered. (1).  Instead, surely it is time for some good old fashioned commonsense to prevail; to put an end to the nonsense that many women believe : that they must be able to go alone, and safely,  anywhere at any time, day or night.

Up until about the 1980’s in New Zealand (NZ) children were warned about “stranger danger” : don’t ever go with a stranger etc. Also, girls were especially warned against walking alone late at night.

It was a time before “Women’s Liberation”, when men were not afraid to be gentlemanly and protective towards women, and to escort them as the need arose, and most certainly if a woman or girl had to be out late at night.

Then in the 1970’s – 1980’s came the myopic, ideologically driven radical feminist movement, and the bewilderingly angry deriding and humiliating of any man who held to such values. We heard that  a woman had the right to go anywhere at any time, and was quite capable of looking after herself in any situation,  according to  the likes of Rape Crisis and various fellow travellers.

Police investigating crimes against women in the streets were similarly rebuked if they should publicly caution against such behaviour. It is now rare to hear of such warnings and, sadly, not at all rare  to hear of women and girls attacked when  hitch-hiking,  or walking alone at night, or at any time in risky areas.

By the 1980’s in NZ also came the zealous crusade, led by lesbian activist and  Justice Department psychologist Miriam Saphira, to eliminate “stranger danger” from lessons to youngsters, and to be replaced by “Keeping Ourselves Safe” (KOS). The dogma held was that it was not the stranger out there one should be wary of but the adult male in the home!

Well, we seem to be reaping what we’ve sown, and internationally of course, not just in NZ, as we learn of women and girls attacked, raped, even murdered, for taking such risks. The latest tragic case is of a 29 year old Irishwoman and ABC  Radio staffer Jill Meagher.

With her husband waiting at home, and leaving friends in a bar at 1.30am on Saturday 22^nd September 2012, she declined the offer of a lift, departing on a five minute walk home which she had done many times. Days later her body was found midst tall weeds, beside a remote gravel road north of Melbourne.

The (NZ) Weekend Herald (2) put it this way : “Meagher had no reason to fear the walk home…the area is at the heart of Melbourne’s bar and restaurant life, Sydney Street was well-lit and there were people about” etc.

So Jill Meagher had no reason to fear the walk home alone? So the street was well-lit, with people about? People? Yes, including one, at least, who was obviously dangerous and  deranged,  and about to become a rapist and killer.

Surely  it is time for the public, including the Police,  to speak up and challenge the absurd, politically correct hokum that a woman or girl must be able to go, alone, anywhere, and at any time, day or night, free from risk to her safety.

In other words, surely it is time for some good old fashioned commonsense to prevail once more in this respect?
