Hello Rachel. I notice few citations in your Substack posts. Is your book thoroughly cited? I enjoy reading your Substack - the information you share is uncommon, and you pose interesting hypotheses. Thank you.

Hi! Yes, my book is thoroughly cited. Here on substack there are some places where I use citations and other places I might include where I found the information inside the piece in the more passive manner. It kind of just depends on my intent and the context. Thank you for reading my stuff! 🙂 Also, since this is a bit more of an interactive venue, please feel free to ask where I got any information if it’s unclear and you are curious.

Thank you. I look forward to exploring the sources in your book. I am curious about your sources for many other topics you cover, including MK Ultra. I know it's out there; because it's not my area of research, citations help me learn and save time. Thank you so much for the Britney coverage. The events drawing out her struggle saddens and frustrates. The story is fascinating as well.

Is there a non Amazon way to purchase, I am very interested in this subject, just found you on psyop cinema, your two episodes there are right on the money.

The quilt this thread exists in, the dissolution of the family unit, has other threads, this is one of them, and an essential one. It radically impacted my childhood and is doing the same thing as an adult with a child.

So, I am right in the middle of it and finally getting some clarity on what happened to the American family.

My understanding is the antecedents of feminism and breaking up the family (and this needs to be put into context, for instance, families that lived in "company towns" had radical pressure on them, of course slave families did too; I am focusing on the post WWII attack on families, how to dial back that impending unity in a post war gold rush) go back to the burgeoning middle class and working class black families in the 50s.

There was an economic stability there that allowed for the so called "American Dream", stable jobs, stay at home mother, schools.

The first step was to create economic instability, challenge the expectations of the parents and then let them figure out what to do. This is going to result in disputes. And then the message, from publications and eventually government, if your man can't take care of you, we will, with welfare.

Don't laugh, whitey, you next. The 60s destroyed family relations and expectations to a degree never discussed in the glamorization of those times.

I could go on and on, there's so much to unpack there, and the bullets aren't coming from one shooter, there are paths of attack.

Looking forward to reading your book, I just don't want to buy it off of Amazon. Publisher have an option?

Hi Mrs. Wilson,

A well-written book, clearly the result of due scholarly diligence.

Some remarks, all strictly opinion on my part--not sure if they are useful now that the book is out, but sounds like the dialogue is intended to continue, so:

*) There are places where the book could use more citations, and others where the citations given could to advantage be given earlier in the paragraph. (I can give the speficics.)

*) I think the message about the effects of fenimism can be strengthened by including the direct effects of feminism on education and mental health of the American population, and not just the indirect results of raising fatherless children. I cound three such effects and accompany each by some sources:

-- Making school curricula and atmosphere anti-male. Well documented in Christina Hoff Sommers's book "The war against boys", a glimpse of which is given in Sommers's 5-minute video "The War on Boys" on Prager University.

-- Conditioning everyone to think by default like a patient in psychotherapy. (The book "One nation under therapy", co-authored by Sommers.)

-- Making religious spaces female-oriented and useless, and at times stressful, for men. (I first thought this problem occurred only in synagogues, an environment I am more familiar with. But, no, it turns out Christian communities are having this problem in a big way. One source is the YouTube video titled "Why guys hate church", but a search for this one will bring up others as well.)

*) I think the book--again, as regards the effects of feminism--would benefit from referring to:

-- Robert Bork's "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" (chapter 11), and

-- Helen Smith's book "Men on strike" (she also has a podcast on this, of which there are short clips on YouTube).

*) "The Alphabet of Ben Sira" is not considered an authoritative Judaic source, but your other statements about occurrences of Lilith in the Babylonian Talmud, etc., are correct. And there is a mention even in Isaiah 34:14.

*) What you call "Jewish influence" in Hollywood is more accurately, but more verbosely, described as "Lefist influence from Leftist Jews who are not observant and often even opposed to Judaic observance." (No such influence would be expected, for example, from Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, or Tovia Singer.). Thus, "Jewish influence" is misleading, analogously to calling the Blood Libel, Catholic Inquisitions, and, say, the Rhineland Massacres "Christian doing" if you posit that Western branches of Christianity are in dissent with the authentic Christianity.

*) Just as the reach of feminism is pervasive and broad, as you observe, the standoff is broader than between Orthodox Christianity and feminism. It's generally Leftism (of which feminism is a special manifestation, one of many) against all religions that attempt to prescribe a moral system and attach central meaning to obligation rather than to gratification (of which Orthodox Christianity is but one).

I'm going to assume you think "occultism" is bad. Do you consider Buddhism and Hinduism occultism?

"Individual and collective Yoga and worship, conducted daily, fortnightly, and monthly “for the delectation of the deity,” are of special importance. After elaborate purifications, the worshipers—who must be initiated, full of devotion toward the guru and God, have control over themselves, be well prepared and pure of heart, know the mysteries of the scriptures, and look forward to the adoration with eagerness—make the prescribed offerings, worship the power of the Divine Mother, and recite the relevant mantras."
