The war against families to control family policy was made in the USA. Nowhere else has it had a more destructive effect on society and political and judicial institutions. But over the past decade, to varying degrees of success, it has spread to other countries throughout the world. Australians are now facing an all out blitzkrieg, a war of feminist propaganda with sinister intent.

If you want to destroy the foundation of any society, it is essential to weaken the role of fathers. This is not mere theory. During the 1980s and 1990s, the United States government, in collaboration with extremist political groups and a long line of profiteers, ran an intense anti-father propaganda campaign. Its purpose was to create a window of opportunity for building one of the largest and strangest government corruption schemes seen in the western world.

That scheme is now so entrenched and involves such mind-boggling amounts of public money, that even repeated exposure of grossly criminal activities has had little effect against it. We live with the certain knowledge that a large part of government, a part engaged in unrestricted tampering with our personal lives, is under the control of an organized criminal network. Human rights have weakened. There are points at which life is more like that of a third-world dictatorship than the US of A. Things have changed.

Australians have already experienced the working end of the corruption scheme in the form of child support and family law reforms. But by late 2003, there were clear signs that the public was not in the mood to tolerate family laws that made no sense in application. A political backlash pushed positive family law reform onto the national agenda. (see related article)

So now the demonization of fathers (men generally) has intensified -- with the help of government funding. The federally sponsered feminist organization, the Federal Office of the Status of Women, hired consulting firm Access Economics to write a report that grossly exaggerates domestic violence statistics and contradicting the bulk of serious international research on the subject, attempts to lend credibility to the old feminist line; all men are evil and all women are victims.
