(Stephen Baskerville) Tucker Carlson almost said it. He went right up to the edge and then drew back. He wheeled the cannon on stage, but he did not fire it.

Carlson almost blurted out the most taboo truth in Washington, the unutterable heresy that the political class suppresses more ruthlessly than any other. He asked us to consider — after eliminating all the standard leftist cliches and a few rightist ones — why do these young shooters keep committing mass murder? What characteristic do they all share? What is going on here, and why can we not even discuss it?
Carlson knows the answer. He knows because he is too intelligent not to know. Furthermore, he knows because I have written about it in his newspaper (repeatedly), and so have others. So there is no need to prove it again now. He even invited me on his PBS show to discuss it, just before they canned him. So he also knows full well that if he states it, he will be eliminated from Fox News as fast as — well, as fast as I was dismissed from multiple university posts when I persisted in writing about it.
It seemed almost as if he was inviting someone to say what he could not. So I will oblige him.
The shooters, the mass murderers, even most of the terrorists, and essentially all violent criminals (plus many drug addicts and a majority of the homeless) share this one quality: they are all fatherless.
And no, fatherlessness is not intractable. These destructive and self-destructive adolescents are not victims of impersonal forces that defy remedy — still less of “irresponsible” fathers who “abandon” them, as the political class invariably reports without evidence. These falsehoods provide the politicians with excuses to throw up their hands in despair or devise useless, self-serving programs that actually make the problem worse. The shooters are the products of government policies that intentionally remove children from their fathers and proliferate single-mother homes. They are the offspring of the two hatcheries that breed fatherless children: the welfare state and the divorce industry.
The social science is unequivocal. Virtually every major social pathology can be laid at the door of fatherless homes and communities — not race, not poverty. Single parent homes. That means crime, truancy, addiction, and more single parents.
Decade after decade, the problem only worsens until we are left with not only social chaos, but, increasingly, political chaos, too, and even tyranny. It is easily demonstrable that the BLM riots in 2020 that prepared the way for the leftist takeover of the U.S. government were perpetrated by dysfunctional, violent, and fatherless adolescents.
The problem will certainly not be ameliorated by feel-good palliatives like those implemented by the Clinton and Bush administrations and recently once again enacted in Florida. These programs claim to confront fatherlessness but in reality funnel more money to the welfare apparatchiks and divorce operators so they can create more fatherless children, on which their business depends. So diabolical is the political class in both political parties that it devises measures to exacerbate the problem in the very process of pretending to address it.
If conservatives do not like the liberals’ explanations and solutions for the shootings (gun control) — and they should not — they had better come up with their own, and it had better be something more plausible than ever more incarceration. Sometimes the left and right seem to compete (or collude) in seeing who can devise the most authoritarian punishments, rather than face reality and accept the only solutions.
Conservatives do have a better explanation readily at hand — the only one. It is a stock conservative platitude that family breakdown will mean civilizational breakdown. Yet now that it is happening, they ignore the fulfillment of their own prophecies. Instead, they enact pointless programs designed by the liberals: fatherhood and marriage “promotion,” psychotherapy, child support enforcement, and other make-work for functionaries.
Why? Because “fatherhood” and “pro-family” groups also make money on these programs that do more harm than good. Because Republican lawyers (including “Christian” ones) amass huge sums looting families through divorce. Because conservative leaders fear feminists and lack the spine to stand up to them. Because vast powers accrue to judicial operators, including Republican ones, as the divorce juggernaut systematically rolls over every limitation on expanding judicial power.
Fatherlessness is not insoluble, and neither is mass violence. They can be overcome, but not on the cheap. We must summon the courage to confront the divorce and welfare lobbies, especially within the Republican Party. The multiple excuses we devise is the proof that so far we lack the courage, as Carlson says, even to discuss it.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

I am the creator/artist of the highly censored forbidden art “Truth-a-ganda” series. You have only half the equation listed above and the answer is staring in your face today. such as gas prices which effects EVERYTHING in the fake economy and the artificially induced inflation. The stresses intentionally put on families such as the financial violence done to families in the way of artificial lack for profit ( artificially low wages over decades are part of that equation)and control and “loosh” foremost. It is not your money they want, they already get to print money out of thin air then loan out 9 times more than they have through the sin of usury. Then they increase the funding for their war on families through the money laundering operation the stock market for the corporate welfare state on the dole constantly. The loosh eaters would have you believe that the stock market IS the economy rather than a parasite ON the economy and the bibs they wear are the business suit in which the wearers of these sacred robes are telling you they don’t plan to do the work they plan to have you do for no money. And another key element is the captured press and propaganda TV shows such as real estate home shows that drive up home prices to a ridiculous outrageous amount that do not reflect value and has nothing to do with the invisible hand of the market. So the Illegal unconstitutional federal reserve is the engine that drives it all and no politician Democrat or Republican, or even TRUMP has done a damn thing about it in over 100 years. When in fact it is their clear duty to step in under their oath of office. So no matter what is said here what they want is your misery, They achieve that by constant never ending attacks on the families that just wears them down. More money is spent to maintain the illusion of lack, than would be spent to release abundance for all.
