Fatherlessness, chaos and the Norwegian killer

So the core issue here is fatherlessness which has its breeding ground in moral relativism which says wrong is what you want it to be. Marriage is not important anymore and adultery doesn't matter. When we abandon commonsense moral principles like one man-one woman for life, society reaps the consequences of its actions and our children pay the price. In this case the bulk of those killed were innocent young people. The fact that Breivik used violent video games as a simulator and training for his murderous rampage should be a warning to our legislators who are opening the floodgates to even more violent video games, here in Australia. Former SAS Commander, Jim Wallace, gives a chilling critique of these developments in his article 'Virtual Classes in Cold Blooded Killing'. This appalling development should give us more than a twinge of conscience in the light of the Norwegian tragedy.

Democrat Senator Daniel Moynihan said prophetically in 1965, "From the wild Irish slums of the 19^th century Eastern seaboard to the riot-torn suburbs of Los Angeles, there is one unmistakable lesson in American history: A community that allows a large number of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any rational expectations about the future – that community asks for and gets chaos". Many would argue that chaos is a 21^st century demographic trend. Unfortunately chaos and fatherlessness often go hand in hand.

David Blankenhorn says that "Fatherlessness is the most harmful demographic trend of this generation." Nowhere is this statement more keenly felt than in Norway today.

When I first wrote this article for my weekly readership of the Dads4Kids newsletter, several fathers pointed out that Andre's father fought a custody battle in order to take his one year old son to Paris with him, but lost the case. This is not surprising considering that mothers are awarded custody in 90% of cases because of anti-male bias in the Family Law Court system. These fathers pointed out that Andre's father did not abandon him but that his feminist mother deprived him of a father when she won the custody battle and should be held accountable for Andre's burden of fatherlessness.

I cannot comment either way, except to say that Norway and Scandinavian countries in general, are well known as a stronghold for radical feminist thought. History will tell us that these countries were the first to introduce no-fault divorce in the 1920s well before most other countries of the world, As researcher Stanley Kurtz says in his article The End of Marriage in Scandinavia, "Marriage is disappearing in Scandinavia, and the forces undermining it there are active throughout the west".

With over 50% of Norwegian births now being out of wedlock, maybe the battle cry, 'Death to the Nuclear Family' of Scandinavian feminist Gudrun Schyman is now coming to pass in more ways than one. The only problem is now that real people are dying as the result of the Scandinavian plague of fatherlessness and the destruction of the nuclear family.

This is true in most of the western world. The trouble is the western world, including Australia, is embracing and advancing policies that will drive even greater levels of fatherlessness. The Gillard government is about to bring into law a bill that will result in even higher levels of fatherlessness for Australian children. This anti-child bill is in the guise of a Family Law Amendment to decrease violence, but the best way to do so is to promote responsible fatherhood. As forensic psychologist Shawn Johnston said, "The research is absolutely clear . . . the one human being most capable of curbing the anti-social aggression of a boy is his biological father".

Dads4Kids lodged a submission, to protest the introduction of the bill but after many requests, were denied the opportunity to speak before the Senate hearing. Fatherlessness, as can be seen from the above story, has serious consequences for us all. Matters of family law reform have always been decided on a bipartisan basis. The Labor government has broken this long standing convention in their desire to appease the radical feminists that dominate the Left factions of the Labor Party and the Greens.

In light of the terrible tragedy in Norway which has its roots in the ever increasing plague of fatherlessness that is sweeping our western world we call on the Australian Labor Party to reject this pernicious piece of legislation for the sake of our children. Children need a mother and a father. Winding back shared parenting legislation is a betrayal of our children's best interests. Do we need a national tragedy as has recently happened in Norway to bring us to our senses? I hope and pray this is not the case.
