How the Hive Killed America
NOTE: This post originally appeared at another site of mine on February 1, 2024, but I am mirroring it here now because it is relevant to reforming the massive cultural upheaval which has done so much damage to our nation in this century. I’m seeking more readers for these ideas because the changes they describe are so monumental and dangerous, and we do have a chance to make changes in a second Trump administration. Please read, copy, and share it with any friends and colleagues who may understand it.]
Yes, I have a theory. I’ll present it in overview here, at greater length elsewhere, as a satirical fantasy rather than an academic dissertation. That doesn’t mean it’s untrue. It means I’m picking a medium more accessible than a scholarly peer-reviewed publication whose subscribers don’t even read it. It’s also more realistic than compiling footnotes from sources I’ve read and studied in some detail but don’t physically possess anymore and therefore won’t be quoting from. None of them has figured out what I’ve figured out anyway.
I’ve said before that all writing is fiction, which is also true. The ones who have the hardest time learning and understanding that are, ironically, scholars and academics. Why you can never trust what they say. The best way to read fiction is, as everyone knows, giving the writer your willing suspension of disbelief. Not that much to ask really.
Understanding my theory won’t change anything. What’s underway has already won a long battle in secret. I won’t be advocating resistance, armed or otherwise, just prompting my own small band of readers to seek whatever means and locations of escape might be available.
Before I get to the gist, let me put a few questions to you (plus a Tip: Don’t take the hyperlinks on first reading; afterwards is soon enough…)
1) Why are we experiencing a simultaneous resurgence of antisemitism and officially sponsored persecution/prosecutions of Christians for being Christians?
2) Why are we seeing a rise in the practice of Satanism and the defense of its practitioners by a consensus atheist press which professes not to see the harm?
3) Why are Jews so heavily involved in providing the muscle for Democrat strategies when the party they’ve done so much to promote has become actively antisemitic?
4) Why is the black voter base suddenly dividing in terms of party affiliation, with black women remaining loyal to Democrats while black males are leaving the Democrats for a controversial Republican who has been repeatedly condemned as a racist?
5) Why is the Overton Window moving with such amazing speed in terms of what constitutes acceptable sexual behavior, from a discreet consensus of “don’t ask, don’t tell” regarding every form of sexual act and preference to highly public promotion of behaviors that used to be quite literally unspeakable?
6) Why are we so unexpectedly obsessed with blurring the divide between male and female by pretending they are malleable, reversible, and divisible into ‘n’ number of equally capable genders?
7) Why are IQs falling at an accelerating rate from one generation to the next, as Z-Gen college graduates are now being measured at average intelligence on par with the rest of the population, which is also getting dumber?
8) Why are so many women who lack real intellectual and academic heft occupying powerful leadership positions in the Administration, the Congress, Academia, Corporate Resource Management, Christianity, and in behind-the-scenes influence on critical matters of culture and state?
9) Why are all the institutions and professions failing visibly in terms of their credibility, competence, and demonstrable performance in terms of their own ethical standards?
10) Why is technology propelling us toward a mandated dominion of so-called Artificial Intelligence systems that will be regarded administratively as preferable to individual liberty, innovation, and decision making?
11) Why is the United States of America swirling downward at alarming speed in terms of its economic performance, personal health, 2-parent families, educational competence, levels of violent crime, drug addiction, border control, and peaceful conduct of foreign policy?
There are unique answers to each question, but the deep answer to all of them is the same. These negative developments are not accidental or even truly political, except in their impacts. All are in process because the changes being effected accrue to the advantage of a return to matriarchal rule after 4-5,000 years of patriarchy. It’s important to note right away that matriarchal rule is not feminism or even feminist. Its purpose is not to improve the lot of women but to flatten the population and eliminate the concepts of time and individuality that make them unpredictable. Feminism is simply a useful tool for dismantling a patriarchy.
It’s a common misconception of anthropologists that there has never been a truly matriarchal society. This is absolutely false. The cause of the misconception is that matriarchal societies are ahistorical; that is, they do not write down or record in any way the history of their own lives. They require a hierarchy and a certain implicit organization, but they have no need for the rest of what we consider basic attributes of civilization: morality, written communication, laws, education, history, or even ego consciousness as we think of it. They require obedience in the daily conduct of societal members who are essentially living the same year every year on a strict lunar schedule. Therefore they also have gods, who are worshipped, appeased, and sacrificed to in order to secure protection from the vagaries of nature that can afflict or end their lives.
The best comparable model in the natural world is the bee hive. A Queen, workers, and drones operating automatically to perform routines that require no thought because they never vary.
It’s not exactly a coincidence that the Venus of Willendorf looks a lot like, well, a bee. She is worshipped for her fertility, which made the female the superior sex in the eons before anyone figured out at a conscious level where babies come from.
While we have no written history of the ancient matriarchal societies, we do have a record of the rise of patriarchy, which we can identify on the timeline because it’s where history began, and the matter of which gods were worshipped and ritually placated became the cause of wars, conquests, and profound cultural changes attendant to repeated invasions and other encounters with “others.”
The first writer I know of who identified that this kind of warfare was expressly a confrontation between matriarchy and patriarchy was Camille Paglia in her landmark book ”Sexual Personae.” She happily recasts the labors of Hercules as a literarily camouflaged campaign of destruction, waged against priestesses and the cultures in which they and their gods had managed to keep everything the same practically forever. She also drew a bright line between the sexes. Women are synonymous with the Underworld, men with — for want of a better term — the Upperworld, life is about change, creativity, competition, thought, pleasure where you find it, and history, including your place in it.
I don’t believe Paglia identified what might be the single earliest invention of the patriarchy, organized sport. This might even be the single most important invention in history, at any rate right up there with the wheel and pi. It is sport that introduced into human conduct the value of fairness, rules, duty by individual competitors to a team or a community, and the absolute necessity of recordkeeping. Has anyone ever considered the possibility that the first financial records were written down only after box scores had come into common use on the playing field? Or that the ball is as important as the wheel?
The first documented laws are ascribed to Hammurabi (c. 1800 BC), but the real breakthrough that changed the world for everyone afterwards was the creation of the Ten Commandments given by Moses to the Jews. The true origin of the Commandments does not matter as much to our purposes in this discussion as what they were designed very specifically to do. In effect, the Law of Moses identified the ground rules for establishing and maintaining a civilized community with the absolute minimum of opportunities for chaos, violence, and discord in daily life. It’s a work of very great genius, divinely inspired or not (as you prefer for the nonce). The first four, much criticized by Flying Spaghetti Monster devotees, are indispensable for ‘writing in stone’ the authority of the Commandments themselves, not the fallible, mortal leaders responsible for teaching and enforcing them. There is no excuse for killing your leader as a means of invalidating the Law. So important that one day a week should be set aside for remembering this and holding yourself to personal account (No. 4). The Law abides.
The remaining six Commandments are beautifully designed to reduce human friction. Honoring parents is critical to the raising of children who also know and respect the Law, for whom parental authority is the most visible symbol for every child in the community. The sixth is widely jeered at by critics of religion for the current reductive translation of “Thou shalt not kill.” The obvious occurrence of wars after the time of Moses is to them proof of self-righteous hypocrisy, the Achilles heel of the whole set. Except that the wording in the King James Bible seems more consistent with the family orientation of the rest: “Thou shalt do no murder.” Defending the homeland is one thing; strangling your wife’s lover is something altogether different. Which leads us to No. 7, the one about adultery and not doing that. This is not about priggish pandering to uptight conformists. It’s about the necessity for fathers to know who sired the children they are responsible for. Once the connection had been made between sex and pregnancy, the door was open to jealousy, possessiveness, and rage about betrayal of vows. Marital fidelity is common sense peacekeeping behavior. It holds families together. That’s hardly an extreme religious eccentricity. Nos 8, 9, and 10 share the same basic purpose. Stealing, lying about others, and obsessively desiring what does not belong to you are all causes of friction between people living in the same community.
So, why is the government of Oklahoma pleased with itself for banning the Ten Commandments from state buildings and Iowa(?) okay with prosecuting vandalism of a Satan statue as a ‘hate crime.’?
It’s about severing both Judaism and Christianity at the root. The Ten Commandments predate the Old Testament of the Bible, upon which everything that follows in the western world depends. It is the Old Testament which tells the story in which the sins of the world are brought about by Eve and thus resulted in the original sin borne by all Jews until Jesus gave the gift of forgiveness to all who followed him in the New Testament. Forgiveness to the daughters of Eve, too, but not complete equality; Christian doctrine expressly put the husband in charge of the marital union and its progeny, because the man was the one who acted both within and outside the home and bore the responsibility for protecting them from harm.
In terms of enforcement, modern civilization has more than nullified this restriction on women in marriage. They no longer vow to obey; indeed their vows can be anything they want them to be, so much has the church deteriorated in terms of its authority. Why, then, even in this day and age, would Satanic idols (their own brand of Golden Calf) be more protected by the state than the prime symbol of the Judeo-Christian tradition?
Why? Because Eve is not alone in this tradition; she has a fellow-traveler, a shadow trailing her, named Lilith. Who has never ceased to be a symbol of rebellion against the sexual injustices of God. And she is artistically and often thematically linked with the devil himself, that necessary opponent of a jealous, overweening divinity.
